Bill O’Reilly: “It’s Not About Skin Color”

whole piece.
And that's why I am among the many reasons I've invited him on.
It's up at Dennis Prager.com, by the way.
He's also an author of His newest book is The United States of Trump, How the President Really Sees America.
Talking about Trump, Bill, I always hesitate asking people to make predictions because I never make predictions.
So, nevertheless, I'll put you on the spot.
Not so much who do you think will win, but is it a toss-up in your eyes?
Are the polls accurate that Biden is quite ahead?
What is your read?
The polls are not accurate.
They're push polls, which means that the polling companies want a certain outcome because they're paid by corporations that want that outcome.
And so they do little things like poll more Democrats than Republicans, and then they say, well, there's more registered Democrats than Republicans in the country.
Well, that's true, but that doesn't mean there's going to be a turnout that has an eight-point spread like you do.
And then they have the independents.
What independents?
They never say.
So if you're going to call San Francisco and somebody is going to be an independent, which the polling companies quite often do, you're going to get a liberal take on your poll.
And that's called push polling.
Anyway, Biden would win tomorrow, but he's a weak candidate and Trump can exploit him in the debates.
If COVID diminishes and it's a stubborn disease, that will ignite the economy, which is really what Donald Trump is all about.
So all the other stuff is secondary to COVID diminishing.
And the economy surging again.
Because the radical Black Lives Matter movement situation works against Biden.
As I said, most people don't want this radical left approach.
And you saw Trump exploit that in Tulsa on Saturday.
So, if things go well for the country, Trump wins.
To be chaotic, he probably loses.
Right.
Chaos is their friend.
Yes.
That's exactly my read.
I just want to add that while I fundamentally agree with what you said, in my mind, the economy is only one factor.
When I think of the judges' issue...
That alone would necessitate a Republican president.
But it's not a populist issue.
I agree with you.
I totally agree with you.
That's why I said in my mind.
In my mind, giving Iran back its ability to develop nuclear weapons.
I wrote a column a couple of weeks ago on Biden.
I know him pretty well.
And I said, look, he's not a radical left bomb thrower himself.
But he will never stand up.
Exactly.
It's irrelevant.
And he won't run the country.
If he's elected, Joe Biden's not going to be running the country.
That's right.
It's going to be Obama acolytes.
Yep.
And they, some of them, are very activist and very, very committed to the socialism that many in the Democratic Party have embraced.
Would you, if you had kids now, would you send them to school or homeschool them?
No, I got kids, and they're in school.
So I got a kid in Fordham, and the guy there...
No, no, I'm talking about elementary school, sorry.
Okay.
But I was going to say the guy at Fordham doing a pretty good job at controlling the madness.
Yeah, I believe that.
And I send my kids to private school.
I wouldn't send them to public school.
Right, but even private schools...
Private schools, generally speaking, still embraces tradition, and...
An education that's well-rounded and disciplined, where the public schools don't.
And that's the whole key to this race stuff.
Because you can't get...
Sorry about that.
That's Holly the terror dog.
You can't get ahead in this country unless you're educated.
And the public school education is, in the inner city, is dismal.
In the poor precincts, it's awful.
And that's why...
Minorities don't compete in some places.
So that's what they claim is systemic racism.
What's your answer?
Discipline in public schools.
Now, that may not wipe out skin color racism, but I'd put skin color racism, Dennis, maybe 5%.
I mean, I don't know anybody.
Do you know anybody who doesn't like people because of the color of the skin?
You know one person?
I have said that.
And I have never actually met a racist.
I know thousands of people.
Here's one for you that drives Jewish liberals crazy.
You know I'm Jewish.
And I have never been subjected to anti-semitism in all of my years in America.
I have abroad, but never in America.
And you know, it's a good country!
And we're tearing apart a good country.
Listen, the generalization that this is a country based on white supremacy is insane.
It's insane.
It's all about money.
It's not about skin color.
It's about money.
The ruling class has money.
And if you are an African American and you're lucky enough to be born into a wealthy home, you'll do well.
And if you work hard, You will go rocket through the ranks of this country.
That's exactly right.
I just want to go back to one thing and get your thought.
If there's chaos, it's good for the Democrats.
So here's an interesting question.
Why would most Americans vote for chaos?
Because they don't understand what's happening.
And I don't want to be supercilious here, but they just don't understand.
People vote emotion.
They vote a motion.
And if you're poor and you're not doing well, you're going to vote for the person who's not in office.
And if you see violence in the streets, then you're going to vote for somebody who's going to stop the violence, which is why I say all these protests don't help Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
They know it, too.
They know it.
But they're just too cowardly to stop it.
Well, what they say is...
So people vote a motion.
They don't...
See the bigger picture in many cases because they're looking at it through their point of view.
So there are two ways of looking at the chaos for the emotional voter, which is many Americans.
One is, my God, look at what the left is fomenting.
I have to vote Republican.
The other is, oh my God, if Trump is out of office, no more of these riots.
And I think that'll be close.
I think it'll be 60-40 Trump's way.
Because most Americans are gonna blame the radical left for all of this.
But there will be a large segment and you know who they are in Los Angeles and the big cities.
We're gonna say, listen, Trump's a racist and all this stuff's his fault.
And that'll catch on in some precincts because it'll be pushed by the media.
That's right.
All right.
People should go to BillOReilly.com.
You write really powerful columns.
It's always good to be with you, Bill.
Thanks for having me on, Dennis.
Really appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
