Bill O'Reilly: 我认为民主党在伊朗问题上缺乏明确的领导和可行的计划,他们对特朗普总统的军事行动的批评往往缺乏建设性的替代方案。他们对伊朗威胁的评估也存在问题,未能充分认识到伊朗发展核武器的潜在危险。如果我来领导民主党,我会先支持总统的行动,然后再提出改进建议。现在的民主党已经失去了公信力,只有极端分子才会认真对待他们。 Adam Schiff: 我认为特朗普政府在伊朗问题上的军事行动未经国会授权,存在潜在的风险。宪法赋予国会宣战的权力,总统不应单方面采取行动。 Elizabeth Warren: 我认为特朗普政府对伊朗的轰炸可能导致无休止的战争,且缺乏法律依据。伊朗拥有核武器对美国并不构成直接威胁。 Bernard Goldberg: 我认为不能冒着由狂热的伊斯兰教士统治的国家拥有核武器的风险。特朗普对伊朗采取了正确的行动,阻止了伊朗获得核武器。共和党内的孤立主义者并不关心伊朗是否拥有核武器,这是不道德的。孤立主义的真正含义是,即使伊朗用核武器袭击以色列,那也不是我们的问题。任何地方发生核爆炸都会使文明倒退。

Well, it's 100 degrees in New York City, in the suburbs, in the area. Some dome heat thing, I have no idea. A lot of whining, a lot of whining about it. You guys in Texas, Arizona, 100 degrees, ah, you know. But here, it is very, very intense. So you turn on local news, and about 25 out of 30 minutes is the weather.

And ABC Network News does that too. So the weatherman comes out and goes, it's hot. Yeah, we know. And then have to drink a lot of fluids. Yeah, we know. And then if you're on fire, you call 911. It's just so banal. Word of the day, banal. It's just unbelievable. Like, who doesn't know this?

Anyway, I'm getting away from the news component of the day, but we have plenty of that for you. And the political world is very hot, pardon the pun, as a subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So these are tough days for the Democratic Party. They really don't know how to handle the Iranian bombing. OK, so most of them have kept quiet.

There's no leadership. The zealots far left, of course, they don't like it because they don't like anything Trump's going to do. And that's that. But the party has no plan B. So when you're going to criticize someone, it is responsible to have an improvement. And this is in your personal life, too. If you're going to give somebody some jazz, say, look, this might be better. Democrats have none of that for anything. They have nothing.

You know, on the budget, they, oh, don't cut Medicaid. All right, $37 trillion debt. What are you going to do about it? Nothing. They don't have anything. On Iran, oh, no, no, you have to consult. And you look at them, oh, what's plan B? Okay, how long do you want to give the mullahs? Six months? Six years? Going on for decades. No plan. All right, so I got to run down what they're saying for you and, uh,

I will do some commentary on the back of it. First, our pal Senator Adam Schiff from California. Go. So a lot of risks here for the country, which, you know, is the reason why you come to Congress in the first place. It's the reason why our Constitution says Congress has the power to declare war, not the president. Now, the woman on CNN interviewing him, Cassie Hunt, failed to say to Schiff,

And this is journalism 101. I mean, this is not anything hard. Well, that may be true in theory, but it's the War Powers Act gives a president 60 days to unilaterally use military action in situations. Did you not know that, Senator? And Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, they used bombing without any consultation to Congress whatsoever. Were you unaware of that, Congressman?

But instead, Ms. Hunt just sits there. Now, I don't want to criticize her. I don't want her enough to know whether she's good or bad. But when you're doing a top flight interview undermining the president of the United States' military action, you have a responsibility to your audience to be skeptical of what you know Schiff is going to say. You know he's going to attack it. And then you say, Senator, what would you have done?

pretty precisely. We don't want any general, well, diplomacy. What would you have done? No, none of that comes. And it doesn't come because CNN doesn't want that kind of exposition. They bring on Schiff. They know Schiff is going to criticize Trump, and that's what they want. They don't want balance. They don't want two sides.

Okay. Second one is the ardent socialist, perhaps a communist. I'm not sure yet. Bernie Sanders is a communist, no doubt in my mind. He would seize your property. Warren, I'm not sure, but she's absolutely a fanatical progressive and a socialist. Here's what she says. Go.

Trump has launched the United States into another potentially endless war in the Middle East. Bombing another country is an act of war. The Constitution is clear. If there is no immediate threat to Americans, to our service members, or to the homeland, the president has no legal authority to order our troops to strike another country. None.

War with Iran will not make us safer. Well, she's reading that at a pro-abortion rally, by the way. She can't get enough abortion, Elizabeth Warren. Can't get enough, okay? But anyway, she says things that are just factually incorrect. And of course, somebody's going to mind. So there is no immediate threat to Americans. Well, I believe that a hostile nation

that as a policy of killing Jews and Americans, stated policy, okay, having an atomic bomb, a nuclear weapon, might be a threat. Now, there are a lot of people who just don't believe it because they don't want to believe it. They don't want to believe Mossad. They don't want to believe U.S. Intel. They don't, and they won't. But

the UK, MI6, every intelligence agency, and they have droves of people inside Iran. Okay? Say, look, these guys were really close to enriching enough uranium to make that bomb quickly. But Elizabeth Warren doesn't care about that. Wouldn't even consider it because she doesn't want to consider it. Breaks her bubble. So these are irresponsible people. Now, what did Barack Obama say about the bombing?

That would be nothing. How about Joe Biden? No, Joe didn't weigh in. How about Kamala Harris? No, he's supposed to be the leaders of the Democratic Party. So if I'm the leader of the Democratic Party, all right, number one, it would be much more competitive than it is now and much more sane. Here's what I would say. We support the president's military action against Iran because he's the commander in chief and we support our troops.

But we have reservation. But now is not the time. He has made his decision, and we're going to support the action because we are pro-American. We're not rooting for Iran. And then afterward, if we believe it was not the right thing to do, we'll certainly come forth with a better plan. If the leadership of the Democratic Party were to do that, then people would take it seriously. Who takes the Democratic Party seriously now?

other than the loons, the zealots, the hate Trumpers. Who? Nobody. It's the lowest ebb in modern times. Harry Truman, FDR, you know, there's nobody close to that. JFK, there's nobody close. Okay, finally, nobody knows about the ceasefire. It could blow up tomorrow. Trump's cursing at Israel and stuff. You know, these are volatile countries. You can't trust them.

They'll do what they think is best for whatever. The Mullahs are a theocracy in Israel. They know that the Jews are in danger from these people. So Trump can't control that 100%. America's not a lot of power with Israel. So the ceasefire will happen, but will it hold? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. And then what happens after the ceasefire? Are there more peace talks? I don't know.

I do know this, that Iran is so weak, it can't close the Straits of Hormuz or do anything on. It can't. And when it signaled to the USA that it was going to send rockets into our bases, it actually told us, the mullahs told us before they fired them, what does that tell you? It goes, don't hurt me anymore. We'll give you a tip. We got to do this for show. And that's what they did. And that's the memo. All right. Now, let's get to some polling.

CNN poll, 1,030 adults, no registered voters, no likely voters. Democrat, 28. Republican, 28. Another party, 44. All right. What is your view of the U.S. decision to take military action in Iran? Approve, 44. Disapprove, 56. Second question, do you think the U.S. military action will make Iran more of a threat? 58. Less of a threat, 27.

How much do you trust Donald Trump to make the right decision about the U.S. use of force in Iran? Great deal, moderately 45, not much, 55. Now, I don't believe this poll. I think it's a push poll. And I called, well, I didn't call, but my producers called John McLaughlin, the Republican pollster, who is very accurate and honest. And he said the same thing.

The tip off is adult respondents, not likely voters or registered voters. So you're getting in that crew people who don't know anything.

And I'm going to back that up with another poll in a moment. And when you talk to people who don't know why something's happening or even that it is happening, you're going to get a skewed answer, which is what CNN wanted. They wanted this answer. This is easy to do. And CNN understands that nobody's going to remember the poll from day to day so they can do whatever they want to do. So Reuters poll, Reuters, the left wing news service.

Again, 1,139 U.S. adults, not registered voters. One question that's key, how closely, if at all, have you been following the Iran-Israel-USA situation? 67% say closely. 32% say we don't know anything about it. Now, that's a lot of people, okay? 32%. So...

When you look at this stuff, you have to look at it with a healthy dose of skepticism. I believe, based on analysis and generalized polling, that most people understand the threat that Iran poses. Now, maybe they didn't like the bombing. I don't know that for sure. But I think most people understood why it had to happen. And since there's no plan B...

None. You either let them get the bomb or you bomb them. There's no middle. So I think most Americans are fine with it, but I'm not positive on that. OK, so yesterday we said that the House Ethics Committee has to call two people who criticized the commander in chief while while.

The bombing was underway. The planes were in the air. There would be Congressman Sean Caston of Illinois and the always amusing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. You cannot undermine a military action when there are U.S. military people in the field conducting it. You cannot do that. So we called the chairman of the House of Representatives.

Ethics Committee, Michael Guest, who was rude to us. Rude. OK, this guy's from Mississippi. And we had to call him back a number of times. He didn't pick up the phone. His guy, Jordan Downs, did. And he was arrogant and rude. And he went on to tell you anything. OK, you want to go that way? We'll make you a hobby, Congressman Guest. We'll make you a hobby here.

So here's what I said about the ethics committee. Go. The House Ethics Committee have got to call Congressman Sean Kasten and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While our military people were in the air, they called for the impeachment of the commander in chief. OK, they got to go up before the ethics committee. And I'm going to make sure that happens. OK, so now we have a conundrum.

because the head of the Ethics Committee, citing confidentiality, that's a bunch of bull. All right, so I can't talk to you. Yeah, you can. I don't know what game you're playing, Mr. Guest, but we're going to watch you now. You're on our scope. I'm going to try to get somebody else on the committee to come in here and explain this. I do believe that we're going to have to call these two people in front of the Ethics Committee, but...

I was disappointed with this guy guest. If you're in his district in Mississippi, you might give him a call. This is ridiculous. It's totally absurd. All right, predictably, we went over with Kasson and Ocasio-Cortez. They're the fringe, fringe left. But the Democratic Party now is getting into real dicey territory. So a guy named Jeff Merkley, he's a senator from Oregon. He goes on CNN and says this. Go.

But the reason that that enrichment occurred is because President Trump, in his first administration, pulled us out of the diplomatic deal with Iran in which they had a huge amount of inspections and every path to a nuclear weapon had been blocked through diplomacy, not through war. So it's unfortunate that Trump's decision in his first administration set the scene now for this challenge.

And that's the mantra now of the Democratic Party, that Obama was brilliant, it was a brilliant deal, Iran was constrained, and Trump just blew it all up, so it's Trump's fault. You heard that from Carville last week on NewsNation. I'll be on NewsNation at 9 o'clock tonight. But I told Carville he was full of you-know-what, which he is, because he just spouts the propaganda, which this guy did. But I want to go on a record with Trump.

He issued a statement when he pulled out of the Obama deal. His statement said, quote, In the years since the deal was reached, Iran's military budget has grown by almost 40 percent. True. After the sanctions were lifted, the dictatorship used its new funds to build nuclear capable missiles, support terrorism, cause havoc. True.

The agreement was so poorly negotiated that even if Iran fully complies, the regime can still be on the verge of a nuclear breakout in a short period of time. That's speculation, but that's what Trump believed. Okay, that's why he pulled out in his first term. So you can decide whether that was a wise move or not, but to say that everything would be swell with Iran if Trump had not pulled out of the deal is absurd. Okay, did you miss October 7th there, pal?

Merkley, did you miss that? All right. Who dissented on the Republican side? Here they are. As usual, Congressman Massey, Kentucky, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Senator Rand Paul, Steve Bannon, and Tucker Carlson. They're the biggest names on the Republican side who are dissenting. We have Eric Bolling tomorrow night. He is dissenting somewhat. Has to come up against me. Don't miss that.

Europe, you know, Europe is, you know, I'm going to get into this on YouTube. But the only guy that really stood up is Starmer, the PM of Great Britain. And he said, yeah, you know, we know it had to be done. But the rest of them are, Germany wasn't as weaselly as, but Macron was really a weasel. So we'll get into all of that. Stock market is shaky. You know, it goes out an hour.

What can I tell you? That's why I told you two weeks ago, I did. You got spec stocks? Sell them. I did. I shouldn't give you financial advice. So let me rephrase it. I sold my spec stocks. It's too risky in this day and age. Dividend, big companies, long-time holdings, fine. Speculation, no. Looking out for you.

Here's a story that was gone almost totally unreported. Pakistan is nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Why? Because you remember in May, India and Pakistan almost at war because it was a terror attack in Kashmir and the death toll was 46. Okay, and they were shooting each other and all of that.

It's the ethnic war. Trump stepped in and calmed it down. Do you know that? Do you hear this reported? That Pakistan is nominating him the Nobel Peace Prize? I didn't. My astute producer picked it up. Okay. Joining us now from North Carolina is the purveyor, BernardGoldberg.com. And I checked that out. And I am very busy. So BernardGoldberg.com.

I check in. So you say you support the action, but you're not a big Trump fan. So explain that to me.

It's not that I'm not a big Trump fan. My basis, I'm an opinion journalist now. But like you, I was a hard news journalist for a long time. So I come to my conclusions based on facts. So sometimes I agree with Donald Trump, sometimes I don't. In this case, I'm totally with President Trump. He did the right thing. Iran was never going to voluntarily

give up their nuclear program. For decades, they strung one president after another, they strung them along and they pretended that diplomacy was going to lead to Iran, the mullahs, giving up their nuclear dreams and passions. They made one big mistake, Bill. They assumed Donald Trump was like all the other presidents they were dealing with.

Donald Trump was different from all the others, and he showed them how different he was on Saturday night. I'm totally with him on this. So...

politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Pod Force One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States.

These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. You don't want to miss an episode. It doesn't have anything to do with Israel and you're Jewish, right? No, I'll tell you what it has to do. No, it doesn't. But I'll tell you what it does have to do with.

It has to do with risks being weighed against other risks. So is there a risk that Iran will do something stupid? Is there a risk that they may...

widen and escalate the war? Yeah, there's a risk, of course. Like you correctly said, if anybody tells you what's coming next, don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about. But against that risk, Bill, you have to weigh the risk of a country run by zealot Islamist clerics having a nuclear weapon. And they're haters. And they're haters and killers.

And I'm not taking the risk of them having a weapon like that. They knew about October 7th. They knew that Hamas was going to go over and slaughter those people in the kibbutz. Iran knew. And that was really, I think, what put Trump over the line.

Yeah, the nuke thing, obviously, you can't allow a rogue regime that is on the record as we're going to kill every Jew we can and we're going to kill Americans too, to have a bomb that they might be able to disassemble and give to a terrorist and set it off someplace. Now, you and I are simpatico and I think we've made a very logical case so far. We're 19 minutes into this broadcast.

But then you have the isolationists in the Republican Party who they don't care whether Iran has a nuclear weapon or not. That's kind of strange, don't you think? I think it's immoral. I think it's immoral. I find it interesting that the isolationist wing of the Republican Party sounds a lot like the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. But beyond that, how is it moral to say that

Well, we don't really, they won't put it in these words. I want to be fair to them. They won't say we don't care that they have a nuclear weapon. As a matter of fact, they'll say we don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. But if you're going to be an isolationist, then what you're really saying, what it really comes down to is if they use it against Israel and kills 10 million Jews, Hitler only got 6 million.

Not our problem. America first, not our problem. But it is our problem because, look, that's just such a sophomoric point of view. Just on its face, don't take the Israeli Jew thing out. So if you have a nuclear weapon that goes off on this planet anywhere, you set civilization back 10 years. Everybody is affected. Everybody.

So this gets back to my point about risk versus risk. They only talk about the risk of a wider war. Fair enough. That is a concern. But they don't talk about the risk that you just talked about and that I talked about in the column that's on my website. They don't talk about the risk of Ayatollah, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini having a nuclear weapon. How could you not...

You have to stop that. You have to stop that. And that's what Donald Trump did. And I'll criticize him when I think he does something that's not in his or our best interest. But I'm going to praise him when he does the right thing. And this time he did the right thing. I'm trying to get inside of mine and I will do this with bowling tomorrow. Eric Bowling will be on, as I mentioned, of these isolationists because they're not dumb people.

Rand Paul is not a dumb person. Neither is Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon. They're not. But I think it's a stubbornness now that's set in. And they get an awful lot of attention doing this as well. I think there's an attention factor here.

Well, I understand their concern. It's not just words, it's a philosophy. And the philosophy is we don't want to get involved in other people's problems. Other people's problems. As if the United States is a bystander in all of this. And Iraq is weighing on all of this too.

You know, it's we tried to change the landscape of the Mideast once. And I don't think that turned out too well. No, but it's a different situation than Iraq. That's hanging over this whole. Yeah, but they're using that to make a false equivalency. I mean, it's like the.

Panama invasion compared to World War II. You know, Iraq... And you know why it's an under-comparison? I'll tell you why. And you know why. Because we're dealing with a nuclear bomb right now. Right. It's so much more intense. And the Iraq situation was a miscalculation.

I mean, those people say, oh, the government lied to us about they knew that Saddam didn't have that. That is so much garbage. Saddam told his generals, all right, that he had the weapons because he wanted to intimidate those generals. And that's what The New York Times reported. And that's why it got out of control. Now, final question for you. When you're when we're looking at the landscape here, I picked out a few people.

And I don't like to do this. In my younger days, I did it more. But now I'm watching people attack other people personally for money. And this is what they do on social media. They attack people personally. They get more eyeballs and they can sell ads. It's about money. That's why they're doing it. I think when I single out Chuck Schumer, am I being too harsh on the senator?

But when you said he's a blanking hypocrite, what word did you mean when you said blanking? I don't want to shock you. I don't want to shock your sensibilities, Goldberg. Since you worked in a CBS newsroom for like 50 years, you've heard the real word before. Here's the thing that gets me about Chuck Schumer. He had a perfect score on his SATs.

before he went to Harvard. He's a bright guy. Yeah. What a wasted use of intellect to become a political hack. That's my take on Chuck Schumer. I sit there and I, you know, does he think that guys like me are not going to trace him back to what he did when Obama dropped the bombs on Libya? And you have a totally different position? And then when you ask him about it, he'll never do an interview.

He'll never, ever, you know, answer those questions. Look, Ocasio-Cortez, I said this on Piers Morgan. I went on his show tonight and I said, look, I don't want to be uncharitable to a fellow terrier. So I have a degree from Boston University as well. But she's simply not smart enough to hold the job as a congressperson. She's just not smart enough.

You don't have to be that smart. No, but she's not smart even at your low bar. OK, she doesn't even reach your low bar. That's the frame of reference that that woman has zero. And I had to say it to put it in some kind of perspective, like for me to pick on her would be, you know, like kicking a little cocker spaniel. It's not fair. Schumer, no matter what.

I know how much you dislike cliches, and so do I. I dislike them as much as you do, but here's one. Donald Trump could find a cure for cancer, and she'd be opposed to Donald Trump for finding a cure for cancer. So let's not take her that seriously. No, I agree with that, and that's why I didn't. But the other guy from Illinois...

But they both should be brought up in front of this. You don't object to that, right? How the Ethics Committee, while we have people in the field, you're doing it. So I don't I think no matter what your political philosophy, you don't do something that jeopardizes American military forces while they're in the midst of an operation. I don't do that. I you know, it's just almost.

It's impossible to believe that these people are that stupid that they would do it. They didn't think about it. They just want to run out there and pander their far left base. All right. The website is bernardgoldberg.com. It's like billoreilly.com, except my name is Irish and Goldberg is Jewish. It's just put the both names in and then you'll get two good websites. Appreciate it, Bernie. Thanks very much. Thanks, Bill.

All right, so as we were talking about, Mandani is a 33-year-old radical socialist. He was born in Uganda, moved to South Africa, then he moved to New York, went to Bronx High, Bowdoin College in Maine. Three terms in the assembly, started very early. Very charismatic guy. That's why he won, because Cuomo's a bad candidate. Andrew Cuomo, oh, excuse me.

And had a lot of money, Soros money and others. And bought a lot of time and 22 percent. My God. But to give you a little taste, if you don't live in New York in the area, here's what his rap is. Go. I want to say it very clearly, because both Mr. Tilson and Andrew Cuomo's Republican billionaire donors have been lying about me on our television screens and right now.

I will not defund the police. I will work with the police because I believe the police have a critical role to play in creating public service, public safety. So here's what the guy said a few years ago. Quote, we don't need an investigation to know the NYPD is racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety. What we need is to defund the NYPD. OK, I mean, it doesn't get more straightforward than that.

So that's what we have here in New York. And here's the irony of this. I live in Nassau County, which borders New York City. I'm about maybe 10 miles, maybe less, 8 miles from the New York City border.

Nassau County is the safest county in the country as far as crime is concerned. Taxes are crazy all throughout New York State, but the county runs very efficiently because it isn't far left loons in charge here.

It's fairly conservative people that are governing in a responsible way. So you cross over from Nassau into Queens or Brooklyn. OK. And it's like, whoa, no quality control whatsoever. But, you know, people vote for these people and they vote for them because they've given up. I've said this before. And they want the government just to pull them through life. Give me everything you can give me.

And that's what they want. And they're going to vote for these socialists and communists. And greater and greater, great. Now you got New York, you got L.A., you got Chicago, you got San Francisco. All of them. All of them. That's what I did on my YouTube commentary, which will drop tonight. I'll tell you a little bit more about it later. But these inner city people that a lot of not born here, but are eligible to vote. They don't want to compete. Someone can't compete. I understand that.

and we have to provide safety nets. But a lot of them just don't want to. Give me, give me, give me, give me. Okay, Friday the Senate is supposed to vote on a Trump tax and spend bill. So you're going to hear tax cut for the rich a million times, throwing people off of Medicaid, on and on and on and on. Just remember one thing, all the bill does is extend

what trump did in his first term as far as taxes doesn't raise taxes to help the billionaires all of that smart life um four in ten americans forty percent are now scared to travel abroad okay talker research pretty good two thousand u.s participants um forty percent say uh afraid canceling trips to europe

I don't know about Asia, but I know they're canceling trips to Europe and that's a big hit to Europe. I get letters from concierge members and one of the services that we provide concierge members on BillOReilly.com is if you go someplace or you want to go someplace, you run it by me because I've been to 86 countries and I can tell you what the deal is and what to do.

I get a lot of letters, "Oh, you're not in any danger in Europe at this point unless you go to Ukraine." Okay. But it's fairly contained. The violence is contained. "If you're going to Austria, you'll be fine." That's my opinion, but it's based on facts. But fear, you know, Americans get afraid. I get afraid by a lot of things.

What did FDR say? The only thing to fear is fear itself. I'm not the only thing. I don't want a big anaconda in my bedroom, but we're all getting a message. Smart life. So I want you to be healthy. And we do a lot of this. And it's hard. It's hard because everything that tastes good is bad. It's as simple as that. New study. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Big study.

So they list some foods, some common foods that aren't horrendous. I can't do the kale. I'm sorry. Tried to do the kale. Can't do the kale. And here are the foods they say if you want to be healthy or try this. All right. Berries, blueberries, raspberries, citrus, oranges and grapefruit, dark chocolate. Now, you don't eat a pound of it, but it's a cancer arresting agent or something.

Peaches and bananas. Now bananas, every time I turn around, it's no good, it is good, I don't know. The monkeys look healthy to me and they like bananas. Peaches and bananas. Green and black tea, yes, yes. Leafy greens, we've heard that a million times, not eating the kale, but spinach, I'll go for the spinach. Red wine, okay, I don't drink it, but, and then peas, onions, and tomatoes. All right, I can't eat the onions, Irish stomach.

Now, here's what I had for breakfast. And this, I think I'm on the right track. So I had a low sugar cereal, like rice checks. Okay. You can't have more than 10 milligrams of sugar. You got to read the label. I get that going. I drink whole milk. The other stuff I can't, I just can't drink. But I'm not drinking a lot of it. So I'm putting the milk on the cereal. Then I'm loading it with raspberries and blueberries.

Loading it up. Okay, that's the primary. Then I take the sourdough bread and I get four pieces of toast, not both of these, cut them in half. And I put real butter on them. Okay, I can't just eat the toast dry. And that's my breakfast with a with Tropicana low sugar orange juice. And it's good.

Good job, Tropicana. And I have no ties to Tropicana. But if you compare the low sugar to the regular Tropicana, it's crazy. That's what I have for breakfast. Okay? So you keep it under control. Then at dinner, I have, you know, a meat dish and, you know, a salad, something like that. But if you eat junk, all right, if you go into the fast foods more than twice a week, and if you're eating the sugar stuff,

your toes are gonna fall off something's gonna happen that's it hate to be bobby kennedy here but he's right on that one okay final thought we got about a million subscribers on our youtube channel we told you about a couple of minutes ago that's a lot we're going for two million we'll get them and uh we had a lot of uh comments about my iran analysis on the bonus commentary on youtube

Here are some of them. Got 30,000 likes in two minutes and 99% positive reaction. More than 700,000 watch Yesterday's Iran content on YouTube. 700,000. And remember, we go on at night. That's not a full day. That's like four hours. Huge. Enormous.

Then I had somebody write in. Thank you, Bill. Listen to Candace Owens got confused by her anger and unhappiness with President Trump. So I came to you. I feel much better. I just gave you the facts. That's all I do. The facts. And then we had another one. I'm irritated by the lack of reliable information. Thank goodness we have O'Reilly. We will not deceive you. So we are expanding our business as you probably figured out.

I'm a Luddite. I don't know a thing about it, but I got good people who understand the Internet, and our distribution system is very wide now. You add it all up, and I'm probably reaching more people than I reached on the O'Reilly fact. It's hard to calibrate that because we're all over the world now, but it's powerful, and we're getting stronger and stronger and stronger. As the mainstream media collapses, CNN may go out. That's how serious that is over there.

And then we're rising because fact-based. Facts, facts, facts. Thank you for watching us today. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
