Bill O’Reilly Revisits News Nation, Debates Anti-Trump Chris Cuomo About Biden’s 2024 Viability

Bill O’Reilly and Chris Cuomo debated about Joe Biden and his announcement that he is seeking a second term as president.

O’Reilly came out of the gate with, “He’s delusional. So that injects another aspect into the race. You’ve got a guy saying I’d like four more years of being delusional.”

“No that’s what you’re saying,” Cuomo retorted. “That’s not what he’s saying. He’s saying ‘I get your concern about my age and my stage let’s go through the race and see how it goes.’ I think it’s also win to win why nobody’s happy with these choices. He gets the number wrong, the other guy on the other side just makes up numbers. What’s worse? that’s what we talk about”

“Let’s deal with reality,” O’Reilly stated. “Today in his press conference, Joe Biden told the world fifty-eight percent of Americans think he’s doing a good job.”

“Is that delusional in your opinion?” O’Reilly asked.

“I don’t think it’s delusional. I think he’s probably gonna have them dig up some polls somewhere that says it’s okay,” Cuomo answered.

“There isn’t any poll,” O’Reilly shot back. “there isn’t any poll, I looked at them all. Go to Real Clear Politics they have them all. The man says that the border is secure. Is that delusional Cuomo?”

Cuomo, then still trying to defend Biden answered, “Umm, It’s wrong, delusional by definition, no because he can subjectively see it a different way. The ‘Biden is crazy and a doddering idiot’ doesn’t work on me. Do I think he’s at the height of his powers? No. Do I think we should be able to do better? Yes. Do I think you have an easy pick with Trump, as in intellectually superior, hell no. That’s why I think it’s an open race.”

“You’re an intelligent man,” O’Reilly said pandering to Cuomo’s ego. “At least your producer told me you are. Biden says the border’s secure and you say he’s not delusional. Biden says fifty-eight percent of Americans think he’s doing a good job and you say he’s not delusional.”

Cuomo interrupted to defend the approval number Biden gave in a presser. Cuomo claims that it has got to be from somewhere and that they’ll find “some way to make it okay, there is a poll for everything.”

O’Reilly shook his head and exasperatedly said, “There is no number, there’s no backup, there’s no backup okay. Biden says inflation transitory.” Cuomo interjected, “It is.”

“I mean how could you possibly,” O’Reilly said. Cuomo again interrupts “It’s been going down the last six or seven months.”

“No, gas prices are going up,” O’Reilly answers. Cuomo, then even more frustrated pointed out, “That’s not the sole index of inflation, don’t be simple.” The pair continued bantering back a forth over inflation.

“In my humble opinion, Joe Biden is delusional, and if you want to cut him some slack and say he’s just wrong, fine, you can live in that land. But that’s what I’m worried about here. Because delusion is gonna hit a recession many people believe is going to happen in a few months. Delusion is gonna hit that and that worries me,” O’Reilly added.

“He doesn’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. He doesn’t know he can’t process information at this point in his life,” O’Reilly said of Biden.

.@BillOReilly says the problem with former President Donald Trump is that he is "obsessed" with various things and American voters will have to decide between him or Joe Biden's "delusion."

The pair moved on to talk about former President Trump as well. O’Reilly mentioned that he thinks that Trump is obsessed with various things, and he believes the American people are caught between delusional and obsessed. O’Reilly shared that he felt safe under Trump however, a feeling he doesn’t have under Biden.

They pair continued on with their debate and took calls from viewers. One viewer asked if O’Reilly believed more anchors at Fox News would be let go in the wake of Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure.

O’Reilly shared that he believes that “this is all bad,” and that he thinks there will be layoffs and many more will lose their jobs at Fox News.

A caller asks @BillOReilly if other Fox News hosts are “on notice” following the exit of Tucker Carlson. “Everybody over there is still very shocked,” O’Reilly says. “There are going to be other people who leave, including management.” Watch #CUOMO: https://t.co/s8z9kEhjMw pic.twitter.com/U3qqsDh6oz

It was likely refreshing for his fans to see O’Reilly on a “primetime” spot, even if it was just for a debate segment with Cuomo, who appeared to have a hard time playing the middle during the debate.
