Bill O’Reilly, renowned author and commentator, didn’t mince words when he took to the platform formerly known as Twitter, now X, to deliver a scathing critique of the television industry. He boldly labeled it as “evil” and painted a grim picture of the current state of America, dubbing it the “Age of Disorder.” He squarely pinned the blame on the progressive movement, which he claims thrives on President Joe Biden’s incompetence.
O’Reilly didn’t shy away from expressing a common sentiment: that President Biden appears to be mentally diminished, making him an easy puppet for the deep state in Washington. He lambasted Biden’s open border policy as “literally insane,” pointing to the devastating death toll from fentanyl and the turmoil in American cities. Communities resisting the influx of unvetted individuals were left to fend for themselves.
He stressed that the entire illegal immigration situation flagrantly contradicts immigration laws, but the progressive agenda, led by the likes of George Soros and his “no borders anywhere” mantra, conveniently sweeps this under the rug.
Both former Fox News heavyweights lamented the decline of network news as a potent influencer in the nation’s discourse. O’Reilly reminisced about the days of Cronkite, Rather, Brokaw, and Jennings when “there was juice” in the industry. With their Wednesday discussion showcasing the undeniable power of online discourse, O’Reilly predicted that cable news would chart a different course than the already irrelevant network news.
He confidently forecasted that cable news, particularly his former home, Fox News, would come out on top. His reasoning? Simple – Fox boasts superior talent. While traditional Americans might have limited alternatives, with Newsmax being the exception, Fox’s star shines the brightest.
O’Reilly also took a moment to praise Jesse Watters, who succeeded him on Fox News, as “talented.” Despite his abrupt departure from the network, O’Reilly held no grudges. “I accepted it,” he graciously acknowledged.
In this age of upheaval, Carlson and O’Reilly’s dialogue struck a chord, offering an unfiltered look at the nation’s most pressing issues, courtesy of two media icons unafraid to speak their minds.
