O’Reilly Recaps His Phone Call with Donald Trump * 100PercentFedUp.com * by Noah

I found this absolutely fascinating…

Imagine being one of the people in the world who President Trump calls to chat with and sometimes ask for advice.

That’s Bill O’Reilly.

The two have been friends for decades, and Bill O’Reilly recently revealed more about that relationship and a recent call they had.

Watch here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Bill O’Reilly: Okay. So, President Trump doesn’t really give you a heads‑up when he’s going to call. Last night he called me 30 seconds before the Cuomo NewsNation hit was set to begin. I had said, “Mr. President, I’m going on TV in 30 seconds. Can I call you back?” You know. He goes, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.” Okay.

So I couldn’t get him last night. He called me this morning, and the first thing, as I mentioned at the top of the program, was about his health and how he’s doing, because, you know, he’s my friend. What am I going to ask him about—himself first? And then he asked me.

Remember, I don’t volunteer things. I don’t call the president. I had to call him back because that was courtesy, but I don’t call him and bother him, and I don’t suggest things to him when we’re talking unless he asks me. My job is, I’m still a journalist here, but when President Obama asked me stuff, I answered honestly.

When George Bush the younger asked me stuff, I answered honestly. Biden never asked me anything. So the first thing was China. China’s big, and I have the best sources in China in the American media by far. There’s nobody close to me that has sources in Beijing.

And I told them what was going on behind the scenes there. I can’t divulge it, but it was, “This is where they are. This is what they want.” I do believe the president will visit China in the fall. I hope he does. But there is an opening there.

When it comes to Russia, I don’t know anything. I don’t have any contacts. It’s driving me nuts. Everybody in Russia is so terrified that they’re going to get poisoned or shot or thrown out a window.

I can’t get anything. In China I know everything. In Russia I don’t. I’m trying.

And then we talked about Epstein. I gave the president my view of how to handle it. Pretty much what I told you: “Don’t talk about it. Get Bondi, the Justice Department, in a methodical way, and explain what’s going on.” But then, you know, I went to Trump’s wedding with Marla Maples, and Epstein was at that wedding. I didn’t know him.

I didn’t know who he was. There were tons of people at the wedding. But when you know the history of New York City and that all these people intertwined, all these wealthy people, you understand. I wasn’t wealthy.

Trump just liked me. Comic relief, I guess. But I understand the culture.

And just because you knew somebody doesn’t mean you were involved with some kind of nefarious activity. Come on, that’s just insane. So I gave him—you know—my view. I said, “This is what it is.” And he told me, “Boy, I didn’t send that card and I didn’t—.”

Okay. Okay. The guy’s never lied to me.
