Summary
As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day, Bill O’Reilly—bestselling author and host of No Spin News—returns to discuss his upcoming book, Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst. O’Reilly pulls no punches as he unpacks the Diddy trial, the rise of the Organized Blackout Boycott (OBBB), and a new Gallup poll revealing record-low levels of patriotism among young Americans.
O’Reilly sounds the alarm on what he calls the "dumb factor" driving national disillusionment, the collapse of history education in public schools, and the self-centered mindset undermining American greatness. He contrasts Gen Z’s skepticism with the enduring pride of baby boomers, reflecting on the sacrifices made by generations past to secure freedom and opportunity.
This fiery, unfiltered conversation is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the direction of the country—and a reminder of why America is still worth defending.
