O'Reilly, author of Confronting America: What Has to Change, also lays out his blunt case for why corporate media has merged with a political party, why he thinks New York's Mamdani is heading for economic trouble, and what he's learned running his own media company after two decades at Fox.
In this video
- How O'Reilly moderated a call between Biden's outgoing foreign policy team and President-elect Trump over Gaza hostages, and why Netanyahu waited for Trump's sign-off
- Why O'Reilly cites David Petraeus's Wall Street Journal column arguing Iran is near collapse while the Strait of Hormuz stays open
- His claim that CNN blacked out a story on record American household assets and a record-low poverty rate
- The origin of his Fox show as a labeled op-ed broadcast in 1996, and why he aimed for a 60/40 conservative-to-liberal audience
- His take on Trump barring CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from the White House, and the legal questions he expects courts to weigh
- Why he thinks Mamdani's city-run grocery store plan will hurt bodegas given razor-thin grocery margins
- His reflections on George Soros's funding of progressive causes and on whether he's fulfilled the potential his father spoke of on his deathbed
