Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Evil Spreading | Allen Jackson Now | December 18, 2025

Good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:17.375 --> 00:00:19.277
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:19.277 --> 00:00:20.679
We have a special guest with us tonight.
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.681
He's a veteran newsman who spent
00:00:22.681 --> 00:00:24.116
Nearly 50 years telling the truth
00:00:24.116 --> 00:00:26.518
In a world full of biased journalism.
00:00:26.518 --> 00:00:28.720
He was the original no spin anchorman.
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:31.423
Bill o'reilly, welcome back to our show.
00:00:31.423 --> 00:00:34.593
Thanks for having me, alan.
00:00:35.193 --> 00:00:36.361
Appreciate it. merry christmas.
00:00:36.361 --> 00:00:38.263
We invited you on to discuss your new book,
00:00:38.263 --> 00:00:40.999
Which ties directly into these troubled times we're living in.
00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:44.436
It's called confronting evil
00:00:44.436 --> 00:00:46.404
Assessing the worst of the worst.
00:00:46.404 --> 00:00:48.907
And i can see even on the cover
00:00:48.907 --> 00:00:50.375
That you've got the ball inside.
00:00:50.375 --> 00:00:52.377
But first, let me ask you about the evil
00:00:52.377 --> 00:00:54.679
We just saw at brown university and on the australian beach
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.983
With the attack on the jews
00:00:57.983 --> 00:00:59.584
Who were just celebrating hanukkah.
00:00:59.584 --> 00:01:01.586
The evil is spreading, isn't it?
00:01:01.586 --> 00:01:04.489
Yeah.
00:01:04.723 --> 00:01:05.056
I open,
00:01:05.056 --> 00:01:06.258
Confronting evil with the october 7th attack in israel.
00:01:06.258 --> 00:01:09.961
And i did that to
00:01:09.961 --> 00:01:11.263
Make it very vivid to people around the world.
00:01:11.263 --> 00:01:14.666
What exactly these terrorists, these hamas guys did,
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:19.871
Which is in any different than what they did in bondi beach.
00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:23.341
And we don't know yet who the person is.
00:01:23.341 --> 00:01:25.844
And brown.
00:01:25.844 --> 00:01:26.878
But obviously the jihad is on the rise again.
00:01:26.878 --> 00:01:29.548
They're killing innocent people.
00:01:29.548 --> 00:01:31.483
At a greater number than we saw recently.
00:01:31.483 --> 00:01:34.920
So, my whole reason for writing confronting
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.558
Evil was to say to people, you got to engage in this topic.
00:01:39.558 --> 00:01:43.562
You can't look away because it's easy to look away from evil.
00:01:43.562 --> 00:01:47.132
And when you do that, it gets worse and worse and worse.
00:01:47.132 --> 00:01:49.501
And that's
00:01:49.501 --> 00:01:50.702
Why we're seeing more this kind of stuff around the world.
00:01:50.702 --> 00:01:54.072
Because people are consumed with their own world.
00:01:54.072 --> 00:01:56.474
They create their own world
00:01:56.474 --> 00:01:57.976
On the internet, with the cell phone,
00:01:57.976 --> 00:02:00.345
With all of that, and they don't want
00:02:00.345 --> 00:02:02.180
To get out of that world out.
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.216
And they don't want to acknowledge
00:02:04.216 --> 00:02:05.717
That maybe in my neighborhood,
00:02:05.717 --> 00:02:06.918
There's bad things happening, maybe in my own family,
00:02:06.918 --> 00:02:10.722
I'm just going to turn away from it
00:02:10.722 --> 00:02:12.390
Because i can got a lot of options.
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:13.992
I can take me out of it.
00:02:13.992 --> 00:02:15.427
No, you know, a society that wants to deal with evil
00:02:15.427 --> 00:02:19.130
Has to recognize it and then take steps to mitigate it.
00:02:19.130 --> 00:02:23.068
And the united states now, some places do that
00:02:23.068 --> 00:02:26.404
And some places don't.
00:02:26.871 --> 00:02:28.773
Where i live in new york, they don't.
00:02:28.773 --> 00:02:30.976
They're letting violent criminals
00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:33.545
Right out on the street
00:02:33.545 --> 00:02:34.646
To commit more violence with no justification or not.
00:02:34.646 --> 00:02:38.483
And to me, i mean, i'm sitting there
00:02:39.284 --> 00:02:41.453
Going, what do you expect to happen?
00:02:41.453 --> 00:02:44.756
It's it's incomprehensible.
00:02:44.756 --> 00:02:47.926
You know, i was born in 1949, after world
00:02:47.926 --> 00:02:50.428
War two, when those values in america
00:02:50.428 --> 00:02:53.531
And nashville, where you are in new york city, where i am,
00:02:53.531 --> 00:02:56.935
They're everywhere.
00:02:57.402 --> 00:02:59.437
90% of americans believe the same thing today.
00:02:59.437 --> 00:03:03.508
We are a divided country that about 50% of us
00:03:03.508 --> 00:03:07.912
Hate, literally hate the president.
00:03:07.912 --> 00:03:11.583
That does not bode well for public safety
00:03:11.583 --> 00:03:14.786
Or for tamping down evil.
00:03:14.786 --> 00:03:17.956
Well, you've said that the concept of evil is universal
00:03:17.956 --> 00:03:21.092
And ever present, pointing out that the book of genesis defines
00:03:21.092 --> 00:03:24.396
Evil when cain kills his brother abel out of jealousy.
00:03:24.396 --> 00:03:28.266
Tell us more of what you focus on in your new book.
00:03:28.266 --> 00:03:31.970
Okay, so i have that
00:03:32.437 --> 00:03:34.873
Portion in confronting evil
00:03:34.873 --> 00:03:37.909
Because that cain and abel story
00:03:37.909 --> 00:03:42.080
Was put in genesis for a reason.
00:03:42.714 --> 00:03:45.884
So the bible is interesting on a number of fronts.
00:03:45.884 --> 00:03:48.353
And if you look, it's not a history.
00:03:48.353 --> 00:03:51.556
When i wrote killing jesus, for example, about the
00:03:51.556 --> 00:03:54.759
Man's life, the nazarene, i don't use any biblical stuff.
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.730
All right. that's religious.
00:03:58.730 --> 00:04:00.398
So i just use history.
00:04:00.398 --> 00:04:02.033
But in the bible, the parables
00:04:02.033 --> 00:04:05.637
That are there, the stories are there are there for a reason.
00:04:05.637 --> 00:04:09.207
And this was a signal at the very beginning
00:04:09.207 --> 00:04:11.576
Of the bible, alan, that
00:04:11.576 --> 00:04:14.813
He was always going to be there,
00:04:14.813 --> 00:04:17.082
Always going to be on a planet.
00:04:17.082 --> 00:04:18.750
And you and the good person have to deal with it.
00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:22.420
You have a responsibility to deal with it.
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.089
If you don't,
00:04:24.089 --> 00:04:25.357
Bad things are going to happen.
00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:28.326
So i got 15 miscreants.
00:04:28.326 --> 00:04:30.829
You got four on the cover.
00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:32.697
Hitler, mao,
00:04:32.697 --> 00:04:34.833
Ayatollah khomeini and putin
00:04:34.833 --> 00:04:38.169
And 11 more inside, you know,
00:04:38.169 --> 00:04:41.072
And we tell you how they got to a position
00:04:41.072 --> 00:04:44.409
To commit so much evil and what they did
00:04:44.409 --> 00:04:49.247
And how it ended and are all individual stories.
00:04:49.247 --> 00:04:53.785
And ayatollah khomeini is responsible
00:04:54.586 --> 00:04:56.688
For the jihad directly. putin is killing
00:04:56.688 --> 00:04:59.257
Women and children now, innocent civilians.
00:04:59.257 --> 00:05:02.026
So i want people to know
00:05:02.026 --> 00:05:04.529
That look, in your state, your city,
00:05:04.529 --> 00:05:07.599
You got a responsibility
00:05:08.133 --> 00:05:09.234
To vote for the people that are going to protect you,
00:05:09.234 --> 00:05:12.404
Not loons,
00:05:12.404 --> 00:05:14.439
Because all most of the people in my book, they,
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.410
They were allowed to do their evil.
00:05:18.410 --> 00:05:21.112
They, the system said, okay, go ahead, adolf.
00:05:21.112 --> 00:05:24.482
Yeah. we want you to be our dictator.
00:05:24.482 --> 00:05:26.518
German people actually said that.
00:05:26.518 --> 00:05:28.887
Whoa.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.422
So there are lessons in
00:05:30.422 --> 00:05:32.624
Every single chapter of confronting evil.
00:05:32.624 --> 00:05:36.161
I thought it was an intriguing read.
00:05:36.161 --> 00:05:38.730
I enjoyed the chapter on the robber barons.
00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:41.966
I mean, you put jp morgan in the list with caligula
00:05:41.966 --> 00:05:44.702
And hitler.
00:05:44.702 --> 00:05:46.571
I had to smile when i was reading that.
00:05:46.571 --> 00:05:50.041
Well, the robber barons, i put that chapter in there
00:05:50.041 --> 00:05:53.778
To show that you can mitigate evil.
00:05:53.778 --> 00:05:57.248
Teddy roosevelt did it.
00:05:57.248 --> 00:05:58.450
The president went up against rockefeller and morgan
00:05:58.450 --> 00:06:02.420
And carnegie and all these men who amassed billions of dollars
00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:06.724
By exploiting workers, children
00:06:06.724 --> 00:06:09.294
Ten, 12 years old in those mines.
00:06:09.294 --> 00:06:12.197
And these guys were living as large as you could possibly
00:06:12.197 --> 00:06:14.632
Live.
00:06:14.632 --> 00:06:15.667
They didn't care if the mind caved in on the kid.
00:06:15.667 --> 00:06:18.636
Them put any money into safety.
00:06:18.636 --> 00:06:21.039
They didn't pay them anything.
00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:22.707
The workers now, they didn't have a machine gun.
00:06:22.707 --> 00:06:26.377
They weren't doing what
00:06:26.377 --> 00:06:27.979
They told starving his own people to death, but
00:06:27.979 --> 00:06:30.949
They were hurting millions of americans.
00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:33.384
These guys.
00:06:33.384 --> 00:06:34.085
And you, you go to new york now,
00:06:34.085 --> 00:06:36.154
Where's the big christmas tree in rockefeller center?
00:06:36.154 --> 00:06:39.357
Hey, he wasn't a good guy.
00:06:39.357 --> 00:06:42.193
Why? he's up.
00:06:42.193 --> 00:06:43.962
So that's why
00:06:43.962 --> 00:06:45.463
I think i'm the most successful nonfiction author in the world.
00:06:45.463 --> 00:06:49.968
Because i tell people stuff they don't know
00:06:49.968 --> 00:06:52.904
In a very entertaining, engaging way.
00:06:52.904 --> 00:06:55.373
It's hard to put the book down. that's that's our formula.
00:06:55.373 --> 00:06:58.076
Well, vladimir putin's in your book, and his war
00:06:59.043 --> 00:07:01.379
With ukraine is costing him 7000 russian lives each week.
00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:05.250
And that's not including the killing he's done to ukrainians.
00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:08.119
Tell us what you've uncovered about putin.
00:07:08.119 --> 00:07:11.122
Well, he doesn't care about that.
00:07:11.122 --> 00:07:12.457
He's a psychopath.
00:07:12.457 --> 00:07:13.925
Interesting story about putin.
00:07:13.925 --> 00:07:15.960
So, the first term of president trump,
00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:19.197
Putin didn't misbehave that that badly.
00:07:19.197 --> 00:07:21.499
Putin and trump had an understanding, okay,
00:07:21.499 --> 00:07:25.937
That putin wasn't going to do anything crazy.
00:07:25.937 --> 00:07:28.840
And then biden came in
00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:30.108
And putin just launched the war for no reason.
00:07:30.108 --> 00:07:34.078
No, russia doesn't need ukraine for anything, all right.
00:07:34.078 --> 00:07:37.682
But he's wanting to do it.
00:07:37.682 --> 00:07:38.816
So he did it when trump was running
00:07:38.816 --> 00:07:42.153
Again against harris, he told me he goes, look,
00:07:42.153 --> 00:07:46.391
When i get in there, you know, he'll stop.
00:07:46.391 --> 00:07:49.694
And i said, mr.
00:07:50.061 --> 00:07:51.229
President, i think you're dealing with a different guy
00:07:51.229 --> 00:07:54.198
Than you were the first time around.
00:07:54.198 --> 00:07:56.301
But maybe you're right.
00:07:56.801 --> 00:07:58.703
Maybe you get in and he'll knock it off.
00:07:58.703 --> 00:08:01.673
Didn't happen, as we all know.
00:08:01.673 --> 00:08:04.375
So on nine over 11,
00:08:04.375 --> 00:08:07.078
President trump went to yankee stadium.
00:08:07.078 --> 00:08:10.448
To honor the families.
00:08:10.448 --> 00:08:12.116
I got a call about 12 hours before the event.
00:08:12.116 --> 00:08:14.986
He wanted me to go with him, to meet him
00:08:14.986 --> 00:08:17.422
There at the stadium, and i said, sure,
00:08:17.422 --> 00:08:19.023
When a president calls you alan, you gotta go.
00:08:19.023 --> 00:08:21.659
Okay. got it.
00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:22.961
Clear your calendar. go.
00:08:22.961 --> 00:08:24.629
I said, oh, okay.
00:08:24.629 --> 00:08:25.597
I, i, i knew he wanted to talk about putin,
00:08:25.597 --> 00:08:29.233
So i went and, i brought a copy, of, confronting evil.
00:08:29.233 --> 00:08:35.006
It just came out came out september 9th.
00:08:35.006 --> 00:08:37.775
I was only on for two days, and i handed it to him
00:08:37.775 --> 00:08:41.179
And i said, look, i know you're busy.
00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:42.680
Might not have time to read a whole book,
00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:44.248
But reading a chapter on putin,
00:08:44.248 --> 00:08:46.451
Because he's a totally different guy, evil always gets worse.
00:08:46.451 --> 00:08:52.190
There's no rehab for it.
00:08:52.724 --> 00:08:54.692
Once you go down that road
00:08:54.692 --> 00:08:57.428
Of destroying other human beings, you can't come back.
00:08:57.428 --> 00:09:01.766
And here's a stunning fact of all the 15 miscreants
00:09:01.766 --> 00:09:05.303
We have in that book, not one repented,
00:09:05.303 --> 00:09:09.207
Not even on their desk, that not one.
00:09:10.008 --> 00:09:13.878
And putin is in that category.
00:09:14.479 --> 00:09:15.947
He's a psychopath.
00:09:15.947 --> 00:09:18.583
No reason you can't reason with him.
00:09:18.583 --> 00:09:21.653
I, i'm hoping president trump can finally get
00:09:22.587 --> 00:09:25.857
Some kind of deal, but man, it is the toughest thing ever.
00:09:25.857 --> 00:09:30.728
I read a book by scott peck years ago,
00:09:31.496 --> 00:09:33.498
And he said the only
00:09:33.498 --> 00:09:34.666
Thing evil will yield to is a power greater than itself.
00:09:34.666 --> 00:09:37.402
I think with people like putin.
00:09:38.036 --> 00:09:39.404
What you're saying, that's the truth.
00:09:39.404 --> 00:09:41.372
There's two other faces on your book
00:09:41.372 --> 00:09:42.707
Cover hitler and mao, the worst of the worst.
00:09:42.707 --> 00:09:45.543
You say
00:09:45.543 --> 00:09:46.611
Young people throw hitler's name around these days
00:09:46.611 --> 00:09:48.346
With little knowledge of what he did.
00:09:48.346 --> 00:09:50.314
What are your top line thoughts about mao and hitler?
00:09:50.314 --> 00:09:54.018
Well, mao, was the biggest mass murderer ever on the planet.
00:09:54.018 --> 00:09:58.623
At least 20 million chinese.
00:09:58.623 --> 00:10:00.525
He killed his own people and his 1.5 billion chinese right now,
00:10:00.525 --> 00:10:06.431
And mao zedong.
00:10:06.798 --> 00:10:08.166
There's just no feelings for human beings at all.
00:10:08.166 --> 00:10:10.501
He starved his people to death because he was changing,
00:10:10.501 --> 00:10:13.705
Into a communist economy.
00:10:13.705 --> 00:10:15.707
And he wanted a mass. people live here.
00:10:15.707 --> 00:10:17.942
People lived there.
00:10:17.942 --> 00:10:19.277
And if they didn't cooperate, he cut off the food and you die.
00:10:19.277 --> 00:10:22.513
So he killed more.
00:10:22.947 --> 00:10:25.883
Hitler is more complicated than mao zedong.
00:10:25.883 --> 00:10:29.087
Because the german people basically said to him,
00:10:29.087 --> 00:10:32.323
Come on in,
00:10:32.323 --> 00:10:33.691
And we know you're going to do horrible things because he wrote
00:10:33.691 --> 00:10:37.028
A book called mein kampf and the 1920s.
00:10:37.028 --> 00:10:39.397
Hitler was a like trying to disguise anything,
00:10:39.397 --> 00:10:43.101
But he knew what he was doing was wrong.
00:10:43.101 --> 00:10:45.737
When they came up with the final solution,
00:10:45.737 --> 00:10:48.005
Which was the
00:10:48.005 --> 00:10:48.706
Extermination of jews, gypsies
00:10:48.706 --> 00:10:51.142
And a whole bunch of other people.
00:10:51.142 --> 00:10:52.777
Hitler did not go to that conference.
00:10:52.777 --> 00:10:55.480
He knew that was a war crime.
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.281
He sent his minions to there
00:10:57.281 --> 00:10:59.383
To draw up the documents and how the concentration camps
00:10:59.383 --> 00:11:02.887
Are going to be built and assembled.
00:11:02.887 --> 00:11:04.722
He wouldn't go because he knew, and he wanted deniability,
00:11:04.722 --> 00:11:08.593
All right.
00:11:08.893 --> 00:11:09.694
But he was as evil as they come.
00:11:09.694 --> 00:11:11.362
Hitler,
00:11:11.362 --> 00:11:12.196
Me, you,
00:11:12.196 --> 00:11:13.464
You know, all these guys, you line them up, it's hard to even.
00:11:13.464 --> 00:11:16.701
All right.
00:11:17.001 --> 00:11:18.035
Who's worse and who, you know, it's like, whoa.
00:11:18.035 --> 00:11:20.772
But we keep getting them in our, civilization.
00:11:20.772 --> 00:11:24.075
They keep popping up.
00:11:24.575 --> 00:11:26.277
And now when a real evil person pops up,
00:11:26.277 --> 00:11:29.781
We got to tamp it down fast.
00:11:29.781 --> 00:11:32.016
Or. bill, we need to take a short break.
00:11:32.850 --> 00:11:35.153
For those of you watching who want to jump in
00:11:35.153 --> 00:11:37.054
On this conversation, you can log on to aj now.com.
00:11:37.054 --> 00:11:40.358
Send me an email.
00:11:40.358 --> 00:11:41.559
We'll share your thoughts with bill when they all come in.
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.328
I'll be right back.
00:11:44.328 --> 00:11:52.002
I'll be right back.
00:11:52.002 --> 00:11:57.302
And we're back now with bill o'reilly,
00:11:58.136 --> 00:12:00.438
The author of 19 number one ranked books,
00:12:00.438 --> 00:12:03.508
Including killing lincoln and killing kennedy,
00:12:03.508 --> 00:12:06.178
And more than 18 million copies of the series sold globally.
00:12:06.178 --> 00:12:10.048
His latest release is titled confronting evil.
00:12:10.048 --> 00:12:13.685
Now, one of the other big issues on the president's agenda
00:12:13.685 --> 00:12:16.221
Right now is trying to stop
00:12:16.221 --> 00:12:17.556
The illegal drugs from coming to our country.
00:12:17.556 --> 00:12:19.958
Some democrats are questioning whether u.s.
00:12:19.958 --> 00:12:21.860
Forces should be doing this,
00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:23.728
And even whether the president has the authority to do so.
00:12:23.728 --> 00:12:27.032
You said that the evil of narcotics is plain
00:12:27.032 --> 00:12:29.134
For all to see,
00:12:29.134 --> 00:12:30.435
And you chose the drug cartels for a chapter in your book.
00:12:30.435 --> 00:12:33.071
Can you tell us what you found?
00:12:33.071 --> 00:12:34.806
Yeah, we have two chapters.
00:12:35.407 --> 00:12:37.609
One guy in colombia, one guy in mexico.
00:12:37.609 --> 00:12:40.846
And the narcotics traffic
00:12:41.413 --> 00:12:43.949
Is, at the level of evil
00:12:43.949 --> 00:12:47.319
That i don't think civilization has ever seen before.
00:12:47.319 --> 00:12:50.288
Because it's not just one person who gets addicted to drugs.
00:12:50.288 --> 00:12:54.659
Or you can throw alcohol in there, too.
00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:56.728
But it's their families, their friends.
00:12:56.728 --> 00:12:58.797
It's the crimes they commit to support their habits
00:12:58.797 --> 00:13:01.833
Because they can't work.
00:13:01.833 --> 00:13:03.335
So they got to go out and steal or prostitute themselves
00:13:03.335 --> 00:13:05.871
Or do whatever they do to get the narcotics.
00:13:05.871 --> 00:13:08.940
Now, the people who sell
00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:10.375
The drugs are making billions and billions of dollars.
00:13:10.375 --> 00:13:14.346
And according to president trump,
00:13:14.346 --> 00:13:16.414
Undermining national security because it costs this country,
00:13:16.414 --> 00:13:21.519
$500 billion a year in crime
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.957
Costs and interdiction costs and all that to regulate it.
00:13:25.957 --> 00:13:30.095
And then we got 100 or 200,000 overdose deaths.
00:13:30.095 --> 00:13:34.266
And that's underreported because a lot of the health
00:13:34.266 --> 00:13:37.202
People die from heart related,
00:13:37.202 --> 00:13:39.704
Stuff that's brought on by narcotics addiction.
00:13:39.704 --> 00:13:42.507
So i think it's a national security issue.
00:13:42.507 --> 00:13:44.976
And i think
00:13:44.976 --> 00:13:46.144
That we waited far too long to confront these cartels.
00:13:46.144 --> 00:13:48.980
We know they are where they are.
00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:51.216
And if the governments of mexico or venezuela, columbia aren't
00:13:51.216 --> 00:13:54.653
Going to deal with them, we should,
00:13:54.653 --> 00:13:56.588
Because it's national security
00:13:56.588 --> 00:13:58.823
And trump has the authority to do it.
00:13:58.823 --> 00:14:01.359
So that's what we're seeing playing out.
00:14:02.193 --> 00:14:03.795
And democrats are going to oppose everything he does.
00:14:03.795 --> 00:14:06.298
When you ask a democratic politician, okay,
00:14:06.298 --> 00:14:08.433
If you're not going to go after the cartels,
00:14:08.433 --> 00:14:09.968
You're not going to go after the source.
00:14:09.968 --> 00:14:12.103
How are you going to solve it?
00:14:12.103 --> 00:14:14.072
And they go, oh, rehab.
00:14:14.072 --> 00:14:15.907
Well, you rehab doesn't work unless you want to be rehab.
00:14:15.907 --> 00:14:19.644
And every study in the world says most drug addicts
00:14:19.644 --> 00:14:22.180
And alcoholics don't want to get off.
00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:24.749
They like what they're doing.
00:14:24.749 --> 00:14:26.818
So that's where we are.
00:14:26.818 --> 00:14:29.187
And i'm appealing to, fair minded americans
00:14:29.187 --> 00:14:32.424
Who want their children protected and public safety
00:14:32.424 --> 00:14:35.460
To support a very, very stringent
00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:39.164
Campaign against the drug merchants.
00:14:39.164 --> 00:14:43.034
Well, let's get to some of the other current issues.
00:14:43.034 --> 00:14:45.337
You've worked in new york for many years,
00:14:45.337 --> 00:14:47.539
And now there's a socialist,
00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:49.474
Some say a communist taking over as mayor soon.
00:14:49.474 --> 00:14:52.811
How could that happen in such an important city
00:14:52.811 --> 00:14:55.013
In our democratic capitalist country?
00:14:55.013 --> 00:14:58.083
Ignorance.
00:14:58.383 --> 00:14:59.684
People who vote for him don't really care to know about him.
00:14:59.684 --> 00:15:03.688
In addition to being a communist, he's an anti-semite.
00:15:03.688 --> 00:15:06.725
And his, background of, you know, his father,
00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:10.395
Who teaches at columbia, which i do.
00:15:10.395 --> 00:15:12.897
I don't know him personally, but i know the background.
00:15:12.897 --> 00:15:15.133
I mean, he's an army.
00:15:15.133 --> 00:15:17.402
He has no use for jews not going to protect him.
00:15:17.402 --> 00:15:19.938
So you're voting for a guy who, who's counter
00:15:19.938 --> 00:15:24.843
To all american economic beliefs and has an animus toward
00:15:24.843 --> 00:15:30.215
Jewish people, a very,
00:15:30.215 --> 00:15:35.787
Significant minority in new york,
00:15:36.521 --> 00:15:38.490
Half of new york voters who are jewish voted for.
00:15:38.490 --> 00:15:42.160
Many have.
00:15:42.160 --> 00:15:44.095
How could that happen?
00:15:44.095 --> 00:15:46.031
Because they don't know anything.
00:15:46.031 --> 00:15:48.666
And ideology trumps on for a lot of them.
00:15:48.666 --> 00:15:51.569
You know, even anti-semitism.
00:15:51.569 --> 00:15:53.271
I don't know how it could happen, but it happened.
00:15:53.271 --> 00:15:57.442
Well, it's almost
00:15:57.876 --> 00:15:58.810
Frightening to imagine the future there.
00:15:58.810 --> 00:16:01.880
If you stay with us for one more segment.
00:16:01.880 --> 00:16:03.848
We're going to take a short break.
00:16:03.848 --> 00:16:05.016
We'll be right back with bill o'reilly.
00:16:05.016 --> 00:16:13.995
We'll be right back with bill o'reilly.
00:16:13.995 --> 00:16:17.529
Bill, one more question before we run out of time
00:16:18.530 --> 00:16:21.232
And you to
00:16:21.232 --> 00:16:22.367
The next election is the renewed focus on affordability.
00:16:22.367 --> 00:16:25.570
The economy was suffering badly when trump took office
00:16:25.570 --> 00:16:28.106
Again, and he's doing everything possible to turn it around.
00:16:28.106 --> 00:16:31.109
He's lowering taxes, tariffs on countries
00:16:31.109 --> 00:16:33.144
That are taking advantage of us,
00:16:33.144 --> 00:16:34.946
And cuts to the bloated government spending.
00:16:34.946 --> 00:16:37.549
What are you recommending to him?
00:16:37.549 --> 00:16:40.785
Well,
00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:42.687
And he has asked me.
00:16:42.687 --> 00:16:43.988
I don't recommend anything unless he, yes,
00:16:43.988 --> 00:16:47.492
But it's a tight, very tight.
00:16:47.492 --> 00:16:50.128
Americans are not a patient people.
00:16:50.128 --> 00:16:52.597
And, he's getting gas prices down.
00:16:52.597 --> 00:16:56.868
There are two real problems for the trump
00:16:56.868 --> 00:17:00.472
Administration and republican party.
00:17:00.472 --> 00:17:02.707
Number one is insurance costs, the killing
00:17:02.707 --> 00:17:05.577
Of working people, car, home health.
00:17:05.577 --> 00:17:08.613
Got to get that under control.
00:17:08.613 --> 00:17:10.348
Got to be new legislation.
00:17:10.348 --> 00:17:11.983
Have to. and the other is, food.
00:17:11.983 --> 00:17:15.487
Now a lot of food stuffs are coming down.
00:17:15.487 --> 00:17:18.089
And i tell my audience, look,
00:17:18.089 --> 00:17:19.491
If you're going to buy steak, don't complain about it
00:17:19.491 --> 00:17:21.926
Because you got chicken, you got fish,
00:17:21.926 --> 00:17:23.528
You got other options that are a lot less expensive,
00:17:23.528 --> 00:17:26.564
But a lot of people want what they want.
00:17:27.432 --> 00:17:30.268
So he's got to concentrate on the grocery store
00:17:30.268 --> 00:17:33.204
And the insurance stuff.
00:17:33.204 --> 00:17:35.240
If you make some progress by summer,
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.542
Republican party could hold the house and the senate.
00:17:38.543 --> 00:17:41.713
If he doesn't,
00:17:41.713 --> 00:17:43.248
They're going to lose.
00:17:43.248 --> 00:17:44.082
Just like they lost the republicans
00:17:44.082 --> 00:17:46.518
In trump's first term.
00:17:46.518 --> 00:17:48.453
In the midterms, they've lost 41 seats in the house.
00:17:48.453 --> 00:17:51.523
Said i could absolutely happen again.
00:17:51.523 --> 00:17:53.258
So some urgency here for the trump administration.
00:17:53.258 --> 00:17:56.528
Well, then if he loses the house,
00:17:57.295 --> 00:17:58.530
We'll start impeachment roulette again, won't we?
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:01.699
It won't be that.
00:18:01.699 --> 00:18:02.700
It's just he won't get anything done at all.
00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:04.769
It just it'll really hurt his legacy.
00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:08.306
Bill, you used to end your show with the word of the day.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.610
There were plenty of them that i've never heard before.
00:18:12.610 --> 00:18:15.013
It was fun to learn.
00:18:15.013 --> 00:18:16.548
Well, i want to end with two words tonight.
00:18:16.548 --> 00:18:19.117
Thank you. and truth matters.
00:18:19.117 --> 00:18:22.153
They don't make them like you anymore.
00:18:22.153 --> 00:18:24.622

00:18:39.137 --> 00:18:42.507
Or even if you come down here to nashville.
00:18:42.507 --> 00:18:44.342
Thank you for taking a few moments with us.
00:18:44.342 --> 00:18:46.311
I like to get down in nashville.
00:18:46.945 --> 00:18:48.279
I've been there in a while
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.314

00:18:49.314 --> 00:18:51.049
It's always great to talk with you. enjoy the season.
00:18:51.049 --> 00:18:53.484
Thank you.
00:18:53.484 --> 00:18:54.452
We'll help you get caught up on country music.
00:18:54.452 --> 00:18:56.354
You know, moment there is hope.
00:18:56.354 --> 00:18:58.122
The truth cuts through everything.
00:18:58.122 --> 00:18:59.891
I'll be right back.
00:18:59.891 --> 00:19:07.002
I appreciate bill o'reilly reminding us that we,
00:19:07.002 --> 00:19:09.009
Each one, have to be truth tellers
00:19:09.009 --> 00:19:10.744
In our own homes, with our own families and friends.
00:19:10.744 --> 00:19:13.247
We can't outsource the truth, get outsourced to politicians.
00:19:13.247 --> 00:19:16.783
We can't even outsource it to pastors.
00:19:16.783 --> 00:19:19.086
We have to choose to be people of the truth.
00:19:19.086 --> 00:19:20.854
It was a good reminder.
00:19:20.854 --> 00:19:22.756
I want to thank you for spending a few moments of your day
00:19:22.756 --> 00:19:24.891
With us,
00:19:24.891 --> 00:19:26.093
And just a quick reminder that if you miss a live episode,
00:19:26.093 --> 00:19:28.829
You can always go to aj. now.com.
00:19:28.829 --> 00:19:31.164
All the episodes are archived there.
00:19:31.164 --> 00:19:32.833

00:19:32.833 --> 00:19:34.668
They're easy to share with a friend.
00:19:34.668 --> 00:19:36.503
You can even sign up
00:19:36.503 --> 00:19:37.504

00:19:37.504 --> 00:19:39.039
On what we're doing around the program and other aspects
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.776
Of what we're doing these days.
00:19:42.776 --> 00:19:44.711
It's an exciting time.
00:19:44.711 --> 00:19:46.380
Don't imagine that the politicians
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.981
Control all the power.
00:19:47.981 --> 00:19:49.182
You and i, being people of integrity, living for the truth.
00:19:49.182 --> 00:19:52.719
We can make changes at our kitchen table.
00:19:52.719 --> 00:19:55.155
And if we do that with enough frequency,
00:19:55.155 --> 00:19:57.024
We'll change the culture in which we live.
00:19:57.024 --> 00:19:59.493
I believe we have to shape the culture
00:19:59.493 --> 00:20:01.128
And not be shaped by it.
00:20:01.128 --> 00:20:02.396
With god's help, i believe we can watch that happen.
00:20:02.396 --> 00:20:05.465
I'm alan jackson.
00:20:05.899 --> 00:20:07.067
I thank you for spending a few moments of your day with us,
00:20:07.067 --> 00:20:09.736
And i pray you have a blessed evening.
00:20:09.736 --> 00:20:09.736
