_"You and I are agreeing all over the place.."_ _"You're actually listening and that's a good thing."_ I love how "civil" they are here, given how they're probably each others' greatest nemesis.
+Sushant Thapaliya The 'civil' atmosphere is 100% generated by Colbert. It would be too easy for Colbert to turn O'Rielly's condescending attitude into a raving mess. That might actually make for a better show, but I think O'Rielly would be less likely to come back on the show again. And Colbert obviously loves having O'Rielly on the show because he keeps inviting O'Rielly back. The reality is that O'Rielly probably is Colbert's greatest nemesis, which is sad because O'Rielly isn't very intellectually challenging for Colbert.
Definitely more of these two together. Bill calms down, and Colbert gives good point counter point. This kind of sit down talk between liberals and conservatives is what America really needs
Could not like this status more. This is the most constructive argument I've ever seen O'Reiley give. Having to tailor your point for the other side is exactly what this country needs more of. Of course you can yell and scream and get the people who already agree with you to agree with you. Its building bridges like this. I would love to see more of this
+randomflashbacks Well, seeing these two be civil gives me some hope, because we all know how O'Reilly is on his show and Colbert is not known for being super nice either
Your comment and the whole thread restored mi faith in the USA. If I was a US citizen I couldn't vote with a clean conscience, as I'm prolife, profamily, pro environment, proinmigration, antilobbys, anti communist, pro religious liberty, and Social Market economy supporter, all at the same time. America is too divided.
+Warrior Son I've watch his show it played every day when I was at work for 8 years so I listened to his bullshit well..TYT is far left just like bill is far right..
+Rohep when did I say I liked TYT?? I follow it for news that's but you should read my comments I usually talk shit to them...I also follow amtv and bill still who are hardcore republicans so why are you even arguing with me? you have no idea what I even believe in based on what I watch
He rarely has people on his show like Colbert to bicker with. It makes for a good interview because they are both so quick and are coming from different sides but still manage to keep it friendly.
+ColbOnTheCob umm why? just think of the most logical rational things and then turn them on their head = bill oreilly and every conservative ever. time saved.
If O'Reilly and Colbert reported the news together, then we would have a pretty reliable media source on TV. We would get views from both sides of the aisle, and some excellent bantz.
+Geo It all comes down to conservatives thinking the benefits of freedom outweigh the negatives that come from of the idiots who abuse freedom, whereas the modern left wingers believe the opposite. With rights come responsibilities.
Hey I was just about to say this. Hello from the future. There are aliens now. No word yet on whether they intend to obliterate us. Society seems… apathetic.
+steelahhh Most of Colbert's audience just doesn't happen to be very bright. They mainly watch him to make themselves feel smart. These guys can't handle differing viewpoints, and yet they call O'Reilly a bigoted idiot. Odd isn't it? The things people say to try and make them feel better about themselves. John Oliver is the only true successor to Jon Stewart in my opinion. That guy's got a magnificent knack for balancing satire and tackling serious issues. These days Colbert's taking the role of a full on comedian while oversimplifying complex issues.
+steelahhh well the difference is mainly that one is for real and the other is a comedian. Bill isn't trying to be funny, he is trying to be taken seriously, and that's exactly what his viewers do.
***** That would suck if the show was on p0rnhub. All their episodes would ruin the top rated feed. The people who sign in and rate on ph are the real fearless champions of democracy.
+JasminLeblanc: I think I'd actually pay to see those roles reversed. A bad cop Colbert just might be the most menacing thing people could see...other than a good cop O'Reilly, that is.
+Nicholas Samuels Yah, the audience needs to shut up. They have a pretty good chemistry, and Colbert gets a lot of interesting stuff out of the guy. Plus, when's the last time you saw two people with opinions that different having a "civil" conversation?
When he's not pandering on Fox he's not a complete idiot. Outside of that when you see conversations between him and Jon Stewart you'd see that he's actually a pretty well informed guy.
J Shi Yeah it makes me wonder how much of what he says on fox he actually believes and how much of it is him "toeing the policy line." After all he seems like he knows his stuff, so does he really think climate change is bullshit or is he lying.
J Shi Yeah which is why i always end up looking at him and wondering if it's an act or not. Because he goes from the doing the crazy on fox news to this. So is either really him? Or is just a smart/dumb person depending on the issue.
See, now I usually hate Bill, but he was making a lot of sense here. He's definitely not some personality who just gets upset in front of a camera, he knows what's going on.
+Ron Swanson he actually is smart and has an education surprisingly enough he just has an audience of retards who he loves pandering to, plus he is deluded by his religion.

+Frederick Jizzbottom Your comment is so presumptuous that it's absurd. If you can infer so much from his comment, then what do you imagine we can infer from yours?
+Frederick Jizzbottom No, I watch his show and Fox in general occasionally. Yes, I disagree with practically everything he says. That's almost part of the fun. He's not civil like here. He's not the Bill I love/hate dammit!
As a progressive, there is some nice things I will say about bill o reily He either makes complete sense, like he did reasonably here, or he makes NO sense. (Like most of the time he does.) Now I am pretty sure this is more of a fox news thing more then a personal thing, when he is not on fox, he is more libertarian esque with aime social comservatism sprinkled in here and there. But I am surprised he is making sense. This is too much sense for him imo.
+sopyoist 2 reasons why. 1, because he's not playing to his ignorant ill-informed audience and 2, he's being nice and reasonable so his sexual harassment lawsuit and him dragging his wife down the stairs by the throat in front of his young kids won't be brought up. Basically he's a classic coward and a scoundrel.
+supyoist You could make the argument that Bill O'Reilly's basic job is to hide unreasonable things within reasonable things. His job is to take moderates, and shift their Overton window to the right by being mostly reasonable.
Kaddywompous right. But when you consider the fact that 65% of those illegal immigrants were brought here as small children, even infants, then you have to look at the problem differently. I mean imagine you lived in the U.S your whole life, you speak perfect American English, and it isn't until you are about 17 you find out your papers aren't exactly right. You go to straighten things out and you realize it's nearly impossible because our entire immigration system is one big shitty mess. And what, is it the small child's fault? No. It's the government and the American people who have allowed our immigration system to be screwed up for so long. Now we have to fix it. Build a wall, whatever. It still won't solve the institutional problems. We need reform
My Buddy Dix so you think he's going to hold 11 million trials? Trials that would end with most of those children staying anyways because of human rights laws btw.
+MrHogslice What they mean is focus less about being specifically against illegal aliens and just simply uphold immigration laws in a way that makes sense. Or at least that's what I got from it...
+Fernando Herrera You're blaming the wrong people. 'Is it the small child's fault?' Well, that's lovely in theory, but let's apply it to other things... I'm raised in a family of drug addicts. I grow up a drug addict of heroin and meth in a country where those drugs are illegal - but it can't be my fault, can it? It's not my parents' fault either, for knowingly breaking the law and dragging me into it with the, could it? No, it's the law. The law is too stringent. I'm raised in a gang that kills for black people for fun. Not my fault, is it? It's the law for making it illegal to kill. Never did I have the chance to say, 'WTF am I doing? This needs to stop, NOW.' Couldn't be my parents' fault. Nope, its America's fault. So when ILLEGAL immigrants knowingly drag their children with them across the boundaries of the law, they do not get to yell 'But my kid doesn't know any better!' Too bad. That exact kind of thinking is how the Middle East rationalizes its wars and murders (kids are raised in it and brought up, they obviously don't know any better - as if the will to think for oneself has utterly escaped everyone in this world). Blame the parents, not America.
This is gonna sound weird but I kinda wanted to hear O'Reilly speak. I know he's an ardent right-wing bald eagle Uncle Sam but his insight is Interesting. First off we get to see another side of the political wheel. And his prediction of the dismantlement of the Republican party could literally happen in the next couple of months. I'm just saying let the man speak it's not all gobble-di-goop nonsense.
now adays none wants to listen to the other side. Im not talking about hearing them. I mean trying to honestly understand others. I dont like Bill but I do agree with him partly.
+Michael Enriquez As much as I continue to hate him, this reminded me of the old Bill from the 90s, the one who wasn't afraid to argue with dissenting voices, who wasn't just a propagandist for his own party. That Bill was still a piece of shit, but he was at least worth listening to, he had some genuine insight. I'd have liked to hear more too. As much as I've read, the Trump phenomenon still kinda goes right over my head. Or under it. Whichever.
+GelidGanef It's kind of like watching Pat Buchanan. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but when he explains it I see where he's coming from. I think Bill's been corrupted by the network he's on and it would really be a nice thing if Conservatives had a channel that wasn't controlled by Newscorp.
he's not wrong accept Colbert is smarter than him and he nitpicked some incident that involved an immigrant amd used that to justify fucking up people's lives.... even though american citizens go around shooting up schools every second fucking week... maybe if he agreed with gun control that immigrant wouldnt have been able to shoot anyone.
+Adan i mean in terms of gun control, obviously someone who was deported shouldnt be allowed back in without good reason, but what about the question that shows that the citizens are a part of the murdering problem aswell
+Adan oh im sure you do but you dont see children getting mass murdered or toddlers shooting their parents or someone on a no-fly list being able to get a gun handily. its a simple fact friend more guns more ways people can kill each other less guns less ways hence less meaningless deaths .
+nEOs1255 Wow, your logic is amazingly flawed. If you actually RESEARCHED, you'd learn when corrected for population variance, the United States isn't even on top. Before you say something stupid like Mexico, I have to assume you'd say something stupid like that based on your previous comments, countries that have more fatalities include, but are not limited to Finland, Switzerland, and the always lovely Norway. Also, before you pull out the 30k+ death by guns every year, keep in mind once you remove suicides, which make up over 60% of the actual reported fatalities in America, you're looking at a little over 11k. Now, to break that down even further, any time someone's life ends by intentional human cause, it is listed as a homicide. This INCLUDES self defense cases, which also make up a large number of cases of homicides. Please, research your shit before spewing it. Personally, I have no problem with limited gun control such as increased background checks, mandatory licenses that are given only once proof of proper training per firearm type (rifle, shotgun, handgun) and equipment to stow the firearms are given, the quote unquote "smart guns" (which at this time are dumb as bricks until further technology is developed), and other means, but if you think for a second a constitutional right is going to be quelled quietly... There will be a civil war in the States before that happens.
Am i the only one who thinks these guys would make a great TV show together? Like a bickering couple that actually talks about important issues that they'll never agree on, but at least they agree that it needs to be talked about!
+Kolzi It's actually incredibly shocking. The only other time I saw that side of him was when he sounded like the voice of reason when talking to Trump.
+Kolzi Bill cherry picked and railed the conversation into a discussion where he knew his point of view would appeal to the liberal audience... clever but he's still a super douche.
+Dohn Joe fair enough, but you don't have to have two extreme view points to have a balanced argument, you just end up with polarizing people and dumbing it down to "us versus them".
+Lineo Arlow do you want to know how the Roman Empire fell? They let people who weren't natural I citizens into their borders. this didn't help eventually collapsed, and in fact was probably the main cause.
"In law, an alien is a person who resides within the borders of a country and is not a national of that country,[1] though definitions and terminology differs to some degree" - wikipedia
Always hilarious when Bill comes on the show. Worried at the new 14 year old audience asking "Why did you invite him?" Not only do they have an historical relationship, but shutting out people you disagree with is the worst way to get your point across. I commend Colbert for inviting guests of all political leanings.
Frederick Jizzbottom That's true but he'll also cut somebody short if they have a valid argument that disproves his take on a topic they're discussing. He also will sometimes take a complicated subject and force guests into answering a simplified question with a yes or no answer.
I think its good for Colbert audience to listen to Bill. He might have some idealogical rhetoric on his own show, but he is actually a very intelligent man with many good points to make.
+StonePanda69 Agreed 100%. As polarization increases, it becomes easier and easier for each party to write the opposition off as a bunch of idiots. There are genuinely stupid and smart people on both sides.
Bill's actually a very smart man that could bring a lot to the national debate on so many issues...if he weren't required to dumb down his show to pander to a bunch of mouth-breathing neckbeards. You can tell these two guys respect each other even though they don't agree. That's what we need more of in this country. Fox News is a waste of Bill's talents.
Very shocking its like a different person. I was hesitant on watching this but its nice to see Bill make sense for once. Of course he probably won't show the same logic to his audience at FOX News.
I never thought I'd see the day when I would be behind the likes of bill o'reilly and trump against the republican party. Jesus things have gotten weird.
+silversleek he's actually done a lot of this the past few years. It's why O'Reilly and Jon Stewart are actually close friends. They agree on a great deal of things. You should just Google "O'Reilly defends Obama" and look at how many "conservatives" get pissed off about him
Bill is a totally off-the-wall person and I deeply dislike everything he stands for but , for once, SURPRISE, he makes perfect sense in explaining what is happening to the republic party.
He's not doing it to be malicious, he's doing it because of their past. Bill dosent see Stephens profession as being legitimate. He sees cobert as a silly comedian, [ what he truly is] cobert sees himself as the Superior. That's why cobert acts the way he dose. He wants bill to step in shit so he can humiliate him. Bill is wise and he's got a good level head. Cobert is the skinny wormy villain.
+Nathyn Brendan Masters Its Bill' schtick, Colbert just has enough social grace to not let it get out of hand, and just hold his nose at Bill's antics.
I just want to bring back the fact that O'Reilly was right for all the wrong reasons. We thought it was a joke... We... Thought... it. was.. a.. Joke ..😥😥😥
When the interview first started, I was like, "Yes. This is a Bill O'Reilly I could actually talk to that seems like a person. He doesn't have that haughty, arrogant look on his face like he normally does." But then whelp.
Jordan Wendt No. I mean, they should be, but i don't thinks he's shameless in his viewpoints, necessarily- just his willingness to scream, interrupt and take over another man's show. And act like an asshat...shamelessly.
I don't understand what everyone has against O'Reilly's comment here. It was actually a pretty good analysis what is going on in the conservative movement right now.
+eastergaard His actual talk was alright but he repeatedly telling Stephen to listen to him even he does already and consistently try to mock Stephen as being stupid. That is really rude.
+Prapatsorn Boontam Well, it seems like this is the standart niveau of political conversation right now in the US. If you look in this comment section this feeling of superiority goes both ways. A normal discussion across political camps doesn't seem to be possible anymore, which is sad. I thought this conversation was pretty good. And then we ask ourselves why political opinion is polarizing.

Huh. You know, if I were to base my opinion of Bill O'Reily on Colbert appearances alone, I'd think he was a pretty okay dude. They bring out good things in each other. THIS is how you should be talking about politics, America... make a note.
I'm very conservative, but I LOVE Colbert. Just because I don't agree with him a lot, doesn't mean he isn't funny and I can't watch his show! Why can't we all just get along?!
_"You and I are agreeing all over the place.."_
_"You're actually listening and that's a good thing."_
I love how "civil" they are here, given how they're probably each others' greatest nemesis.
+Abstractionisms uhhhhh...I think you may be wrong on that one.
+Abstractionisms no he doesn't...
+Sushant Thapaliya
The 'civil' atmosphere is 100% generated by Colbert. It would be too easy for Colbert to turn O'Rielly's condescending attitude into a raving mess. That might actually make for a better show, but I think O'Rielly would be less likely to come back on the show again. And Colbert obviously loves having O'Rielly on the show because he keeps inviting O'Rielly back. The reality is that O'Rielly probably is Colbert's greatest nemesis, which is sad because O'Rielly isn't very intellectually challenging for Colbert.
Next week on *The Late Show*...
Colbert and O'Reilly star in..... *"CIVIL WAR"*.
+Sushant Thapaliya
I'd watch that for sure! But, can you imagine Colbert squaring off someone equally quick and witty? It would be epic!
Definitely more of these two together. Bill calms down, and Colbert gives good point counter point. This kind of sit down talk between liberals and conservatives is what America really needs
Could not like this status more. This is the most constructive argument I've ever seen O'Reiley give. Having to tailor your point for the other side is exactly what this country needs more of.

+Snestalgia64 Best comment
+Snestalgia64 The words spoken beforehand by O'Reilly were just as classic:
O'Reilly [shouting]: "WHO ARE YOU?! ARE YOU COLBERT OR COL-BEAR?!"
LOL!
I'm afraid of bears, I think owls are a waste of time.
I remember that lol
nostalgia
The day these two guys have their own show together is the day America finally moves forward.

+Rohep I just realized you and I agree
I dislike Bill as a person, but I always like to see him with Colbert.
absolutely
Right! crazy...
i don't like him on his own show and he's an arrogant blowhard on Colbert as well. So I don't like him either way.
+GiantBomb82 The amount of money one gives away does not make someone a good (or bad) person. Charity is easy when you have money.
+GiantBomb82 Still doesn't make up for the amount of evil shit he says. You can't buy your way into being a good person.

He rarely has people on his show like Colbert to bicker with. It makes for a good interview because they are both so quick and are coming from different sides but still manage to keep it friendly.

They're actually really entertaining together.
+Hans Landa Of course they are, they are both entertainers. O'Reilly also does a great duo with Jon Stewart for the same reason.
It’s because the understand exactly who each other are both personally, and in the media.

These two are honestly hilarious. I don't understand why people get so upset.

J Shi Yeah it makes me wonder how much of what he says on fox he actually believes and how much of it is him "toeing the policy line."

+Matthew Sarson The world is upside down and the election is a reality tv show, why not this?

Please have these two do more dialogue... I think they're great together lol
Agree 100%

Right?! lol
this was actually quite awesome
I'm not sure. O'Reilly is a political commentator, Colbert is a comedian.
I don't agree with hardly a damn thing O'Reilly says, but man do I love when he and Colbert sit down together...pure gold.
so glad to see o'Reilly not being hated on in the comments.

Agreed. Some cucks lingering, but a generally good reception.
+AnnoyingAsshole bait is so real

+Frederick Jizzbottom Your comment is so presumptuous that it's absurd. If you can infer so much from his comment, then what do you imagine we can infer from yours?
+Frederick Jizzbottom No, I watch his show and Fox in general occasionally. Yes, I disagree with practically everything he says. That's almost part of the fun. He's not civil like here. He's not the Bill I love/hate dammit!
As a progressive, there is some nice things I will say about bill o reily
He either makes complete sense, like he did reasonably here, or he makes NO sense. (Like most of the time he does.)
Now I am pretty sure this is more of a fox news thing more then a personal thing, when he is not on fox, he is more libertarian esque with aime social comservatism sprinkled in here and there.
But I am surprised he is making sense. This is too much sense for him imo.
+sopyoist 2 reasons why. 1, because he's not playing to his ignorant ill-informed audience and 2, he's being nice and reasonable so his sexual harassment lawsuit and him dragging his wife down the stairs by the throat in front of his young kids won't be brought up. Basically he's a classic coward and a scoundrel.
+supyoist You could make the argument that Bill O'Reilly's basic job is to hide unreasonable things within reasonable things. His job is to take moderates, and shift their Overton window to the right by being mostly reasonable.
since when are lizards allowed in the show?
Reptilians!
+CAX 117 boooyah
+Jayy CBS is run by lizards.
Or wife beaters, for that matter.
#lizardlivesmatter
I love the banter between them. It is funny how Steven and him are friends as well as John and Bill.
"You can't be anti-illegal immigrant. That doesn't solve anything."
"You should be anti-criminal"
"Exactly"
Dang Bill, is that you talking sense?
+Fernando Herrera No, he's not talking sense.
Kaddywompous right. But when you consider the fact that 65% of those illegal immigrants were brought here as small children, even infants, then you have to look at the problem differently. I mean imagine you lived in the U.S your whole life, you speak perfect American English, and it isn't until you are about 17 you find out your papers aren't exactly right. You go to straighten things out and you realize it's nearly impossible because our entire immigration system is one big shitty mess. And what, is it the small child's fault? No. It's the government and the American people who have allowed our immigration system to be screwed up for so long. Now we have to fix it. Build a wall, whatever. It still won't solve the institutional problems. We need reform
My Buddy Dix so you think he's going to hold 11 million trials? Trials that would end with most of those children staying anyways because of human rights laws btw.
+MrHogslice What they mean is focus less about being specifically against illegal aliens and just simply uphold immigration laws in a way that makes sense.
Or at least that's what I got from it...
+Fernando Herrera You're blaming the wrong people. 'Is it the small child's fault?' Well, that's lovely in theory, but let's apply it to other things...
I'm raised in a family of drug addicts. I grow up a drug addict of heroin and meth in a country where those drugs are illegal - but it can't be my fault, can it? It's not my parents' fault either, for knowingly breaking the law and dragging me into it with the, could it? No, it's the law. The law is too stringent.
I'm raised in a gang that kills for black people for fun. Not my fault, is it? It's the law for making it illegal to kill. Never did I have the chance to say, 'WTF am I doing? This needs to stop, NOW.' Couldn't be my parents' fault. Nope, its America's fault.
So when ILLEGAL immigrants knowingly drag their children with them across the boundaries of the law, they do not get to yell 'But my kid doesn't know any better!' Too bad. That exact kind of thinking is how the Middle East rationalizes its wars and murders (kids are raised in it and brought up, they obviously don't know any better - as if the will to think for oneself has utterly escaped everyone in this world).
Blame the parents, not America.
This is gonna sound weird but I kinda wanted to hear O'Reilly speak. I know he's an ardent right-wing bald eagle Uncle Sam but his insight is Interesting. First off we get to see another side of the political wheel. And his prediction of the dismantlement of the Republican party could literally happen in the next couple of months. I'm just saying let the man speak it's not all gobble-di-goop nonsense.
he is nonsense. all your going to hear is duck shit cumming out of his 👄
+Michael Enriquez - Shhhh, we're circle-jerking here.
now adays none wants to listen to the other side. Im not talking about hearing them. I mean trying to honestly understand others.
I dont like Bill but I do agree with him partly.
+Michael Enriquez As much as I continue to hate him, this reminded me of the old Bill from the 90s, the one who wasn't afraid to argue with dissenting voices, who wasn't just a propagandist for his own party. That Bill was still a piece of shit, but he was at least worth listening to, he had some genuine insight. I'd have liked to hear more too. As much as I've read, the Trump phenomenon still kinda goes right over my head. Or under it. Whichever.
+GelidGanef It's kind of like watching Pat Buchanan. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but when he explains it I see where he's coming from. I think Bill's been corrupted by the network he's on and it would really be a nice thing if Conservatives had a channel that wasn't controlled by Newscorp.
Well Bill's not wrong ya know.
he's not wrong accept Colbert is smarter than him and he nitpicked some incident that involved an immigrant amd used that to justify fucking up people's lives.... even though american citizens go around shooting up schools every second fucking week... maybe if he agreed with gun control that immigrant wouldnt have been able to shoot anyone.
+Adan yes tell that to australia who also got rid of guns, and would you look they now have less murder... shocking
+Adan i mean in terms of gun control, obviously someone who was deported shouldnt be allowed back in without good reason, but what about the question that shows that the citizens are a part of the murdering problem aswell
+Adan oh im sure you do but you dont see children getting mass murdered or toddlers shooting their parents or someone on a no-fly list being able to get a gun handily. its a simple fact friend more guns more ways people can kill each other less guns less ways hence less meaningless deaths .
+nEOs1255 Wow, your logic is amazingly flawed. If you actually RESEARCHED, you'd learn when corrected for population variance, the United States isn't even on top. Before you say something stupid like Mexico, I have to assume you'd say something stupid like that based on your previous comments, countries that have more fatalities include, but are not limited to Finland, Switzerland, and the always lovely Norway. Also, before you pull out the 30k+ death by guns every year, keep in mind once you remove suicides, which make up over 60% of the actual reported fatalities in America, you're looking at a little over 11k. Now, to break that down even further, any time someone's life ends by intentional human cause, it is listed as a homicide. This INCLUDES self defense cases, which also make up a large number of cases of homicides. Please, research your shit before spewing it. Personally, I have no problem with limited gun control such as increased background checks, mandatory licenses that are given only once proof of proper training per firearm type (rifle, shotgun, handgun) and equipment to stow the firearms are given, the quote unquote "smart guns" (which at this time are dumb as bricks until further technology is developed), and other means, but if you think for a second a constitutional right is going to be quelled quietly... There will be a civil war in the States before that happens.
Am i the only one who thinks these guys would make a great TV show
together? Like a bickering couple that actually talks about important
issues that they'll never agree on, but at least they agree that it
needs to be talked about!
+Matt Rockwell The Colbert Bill. Make it happen!
It just shows how much of Bill's show is an act and how he can actually show common sense and reasonable arguments
O'Reilly actually talking some sense for once.
+Kolzi It's actually incredibly shocking. The only other time I saw that side of him was when he sounded like the voice of reason when talking to Trump.
They were probably following a script.
+Kolzi Bill cherry picked and railed the conversation into a discussion where he knew his point of view would appeal to the liberal audience... clever but he's still a super douche.
+Kolzi Bill has always been capable of making sense. He's exactly as nutty as his audience/boss wants him to be.
+Kolzi And not promoting his books.
I like Bill O'Reilly for the same reason I like Bill Maher. An extreme right conservative opinion and an extreme left liberal opinion.
+Dohn Joe oh cmon you cant compare bill maher to this..(except when he goes on and on about religion..thats annoying)
+pbfloyd13 yas
+Dohn Joe fair enough, but you don't have to have two extreme view points to have a balanced argument, you just end up with polarizing people and dumbing it down to "us versus them".
Maher isn't extreme left, he's a classic liberal. He's not blinded by ideology.
say what now
Bill alpha maled all over Stephen.
umm hes a guest and they are having a discussion not an argument but whatever...
umm hes a guest and they are having a discussion not an argument but whatever...
umm hes a guest and they are having a discussion not an argument but whatever..
umm hes a guest and they are having a discussion not an argument but whatever...
umm his a gest ahand dey ar habing a diskusshun nod ahn ahrguumint but whutevar...
These guys would have a great show together
Bill getting some love in the comment section. I like it
Me too... how's it happening?
1:33 "I'm not arrogant enough to say..."
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH BILL O' REILLY?
WTF is an Illegal Alien ? UFOs land without paying parking tickets ?
I literally cringed when he said that.
L
+Lineo Arlow do you want to know how the Roman Empire fell? They let people who weren't natural I citizens into their borders. this didn't help eventually collapsed, and in fact was probably the main cause.
"In law, an alien is a person who resides within the borders of a country and is not a national of that country,[1] though definitions and terminology differs to some degree" - wikipedia
Yeah, but that was after those citizens were accustomed to Roman customs.
This was cool. More oreilly and Colbert please
I really dislike Bill O'Reilly, but I love these two guys together.
I don't like O'Reilly, but this was nice and civil. And it made sense.
+parodyislandpictures Yeah this scene actually makes Bill O'Reilly seem calm and collected with his thoughts.
For once, Bill's actually speaking the truth...he's an asshole...but he's speaking the truth. ;-)
Usually it's the assholes who are the honest ones
+Bender Bending Rodriguez That's exactly what I was about to say. I've known a few assholes throughout the years... and I always valued their opinion.
+OneManShow I know an asshole and I respect nothing about him
+Mike Stavenes Totally agree mike.
+Bender Bending Rodriguez true
Forget political views. I enjoy watching these two in a battle of wits every single interview. IT'S FUNNY AND YOU BETTER AGREE.
Always hilarious when Bill comes on the show.
Worried at the new 14 year old audience asking "Why did you invite him?"
Not only do they have an historical relationship, but shutting out people you disagree with is the worst way to get your point across.
I commend Colbert for inviting guests of all political leanings.
Bill had to remember to play his role at the end there.
I am getting tired of Colbert's constant interruptions, not just with Bill but he seems to do it with most of his guests.
+Tuchulu That's his job. He's a comedian - he's supposed to say shit that will make the audience laugh.
By not letting his guests finish their sentences? I personally don't like it, but that's a personal opinion.
+Tuchulu Have you ever seen an O'Reilly interview?
No. But i went back to CBS website to see the end of the interview and it was great.
Frederick Jizzbottom That's true but he'll also cut somebody short if they have a valid argument that disproves his take on a topic they're discussing. He also will sometimes take a complicated subject and force guests into answering a simplified question with a yes or no answer.
I could watch these two bantering the whole day
I think its good for Colbert audience to listen to Bill. He might have some idealogical rhetoric on his own show, but he is actually a very intelligent man with many good points to make.
+StonePanda69 Agreed 100%. As polarization increases, it becomes easier and easier for each party to write the opposition off as a bunch of idiots. There are genuinely stupid and smart people on both sides.
+Graham Vert Nailed it. My friends and I always say: both sides are right and both sides are wrong.
O'Reily: WHAT WHAT...LITTLE STEPS!.
Colbert: Hold On. (Inhales sharpie) OK go.
HA!
Bill's actually a very smart man that could bring a lot to the national debate on so many issues...if he weren't required to dumb down his show to pander to a bunch of mouth-breathing neckbeards. You can tell these two guys respect each other even though they don't agree. That's what we need more of in this country. Fox News is a waste of Bill's talents.
Very true.
We need this in America. Disagreeing sides entering civil discussion. So sick of all the tribes.
LOOOOOLLLLLOOOOOOOOOL
"welllll they dont want their party BLOWN UPP COLBEEAAAARRRRRR"
i friggn died
I am so confused right now.. Bill Bailey is making hella sense..
Very shocking its like a different person. I was hesitant on watching this but its nice to see Bill make sense for once. Of course he probably won't show the same logic to his audience at FOX News.
That Kate's law sounds pretty reasonable if you ask me.
I like to see these two together. They are two unique creatures when they got together.
I never thought I'd see the day when I would be behind the likes of bill o'reilly and trump against the republican party. Jesus things have gotten weird.
+silversleek he's actually done a lot of this the past few years. It's why O'Reilly and Jon Stewart are actually close friends. They agree on a great deal of things. You should just Google "O'Reilly defends Obama" and look at how many "conservatives" get pissed off about him
O'Reilly need a little water boarding
Bill nails the talking points every time.
The Republicans winning the presidency again is about as likely as Bill O'Reilly ever seeing his jawline again.
+fidorover Too many milkshakes with Trump.
+fidorover You never know, Trump could do it, he has a good chance.
+fidorover Trump will be your president , accept it :v
+fidorover guess he's gonna see his jawline this coming year.
Trump actually has a very good chance man. Look at the polls
Bill is a totally off-the-wall person and I deeply dislike everything he stands for but , for once, SURPRISE, he makes perfect sense in explaining what is happening to the republic party.
Bill said it. We are still frustrated. And the border is now an absolute mess.
F*ck it, I'm doing it live!
O'Reilly makes some good points, but he's way too condescending towards Colbert
He's not doing it to be malicious, he's doing it because of their past. Bill dosent see Stephens profession as being legitimate. He sees cobert as a silly comedian, [ what he truly is] cobert sees himself as the Superior. That's why cobert acts the way he dose. He wants bill to step in shit so he can humiliate him. Bill is wise and he's got a good level head. Cobert is the skinny wormy villain.
+Nathyn Brendan Masters Its Bill' schtick, Colbert just has enough social grace to not let it get out of hand, and just hold his nose at Bill's antics.
+Steven Jones literally no one with a brain agrees with your assessment. Go home, your drunk
+Brenda Araujo they are pretty condescending towards eachother
It's the fear that Colbert instills in his soul... lol
These two have always had great chemistry.
Colbert and O'Reilly have good chemistry on tv.
I just want to bring back the fact that O'Reilly was right for all the wrong reasons. We thought it was a joke... We... Thought... it. was.. a.. Joke ..😥😥😥
you're NOT arrogant enough?!
I love Bill, he's the greatest!!!
+Dustin Osborn "You should love 'post birth abortion' and try it out".
Fixed that for you.
-sarcasm off
it is interesting when he is with colbert 😄
I love it when these two get together!!!
Excellent job Bill and stephen!
When the interview first started, I was like, "Yes. This is a Bill O'Reilly I could actually talk to that seems like a person. He doesn't have that haughty, arrogant look on his face like he normally does." But then whelp.
I didnt wanna have to watch Bill
But this was the only video I hadn't watched this week
Don't mind me, just a friendly young conservative passing through
How you doing my fellow conservative 🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻
+sodacann hello you fine rare specimen you.
nice to see some of you guys
You're a brave one...we need to stick together
We're the only ones on RUclips
"Oh boy..."
These were the days Colbert was still entertaining and not an absolute shill for the far left propaganda machine.
Bingo!
rare, I agree with Bill here
If nothing else, bill is an unbelievably shameless person. Believes in what he stands for. Respect.
respect for the racist dick who abused his ex wife? eh....
respect for his shamelessness
when i said "if nothing else" i was implying that there was nothing else to be respected, lol.
+colangelog09 shameless for wanting illegal criminal aliens locked up. You're an idiot.
Jordan Wendt No. I mean, they should be, but i don't thinks he's shameless in his viewpoints, necessarily- just his willingness to scream, interrupt and take over another man's show. And act like an asshat...shamelessly.
I don't understand what everyone has against O'Reilly's comment here. It was actually a pretty good analysis what is going on in the conservative movement right now.
+eastergaard His actual talk was alright but he repeatedly telling Stephen to listen to him even he does already and consistently try to mock Stephen as being stupid. That is really rude.
+Prapatsorn Boontam Well, it seems like this is the standart niveau of political conversation right now in the US. If you look in this comment section this feeling of superiority goes both ways. A normal discussion across political camps doesn't seem to be possible anymore, which is sad. I thought this conversation was pretty good. And then we ask ourselves why political opinion is polarizing.

+Prapatsorn Boontam He is kidding. They get along. This is a TV show.
Bill oreilly is so cringy for me to watch, I cant stand him.
"Reality has a well-known liberal bias."
-Stephen
+Everyone'sFavoriteCritic I read that quote too!
+Everyone'sFavoriteCritic 2006 correspondents dinner
lol is that why like how any statistics displaying crime by minorities being rampant is racist? oh wait....
Colbert is a professional and patient host. Kudos!
I don't always agree with O'Reilly but explains things well and he gets under people skin.
I miss O'Reilly doing these bits with Jon Stewart. :( I want the frenemies to do another Rumble again! xD
hes racist
Christian Harris how is he racist? moron
Race sterotypes dumbass
These two together are great xD
LMAOOO I liked when he was pounding the table
I love Stephen Colbert
Colbert chastised his audience to be polite to ORielly. Somebody should have shouted, "I'll be polite when he stops being a condencinding jerk!"
+Brian C The condescension here is part of the joke...
+Brian C He's making fun of the people who demonize the other side by mockishly pretending to be rude during a civil conversation.
I love colbert and o'reillys banter lol
"I am not arrogant to say that......" Yeah, right.
That's the joke you moron
+Wirbelfeld No one laughed...
He seems a lot more likeable here than what I've previously seen of him
I love how despite how different they are and how much they argue, you can tell that both of them genuinely respect each other
i agree with Bill on the deportation thing
surprisingly fair and balanced
that's the first time o'reilly has ever made any sense to me
*This is perhaps the smartest conversation Bill O'Reilly has had in his life.*
If only he displayed this intelligence all the time...
Please make this a regular thing..
I'm worried if Stephen is actually addicted to the smell of markers.
Don't ask him about it. It's a tender subject.
+impalabeeper would explain why The Late Show w/ Colbert is not living up to the standard of The Colbert Report
Its not the same show at all though.
Huh. You know, if I were to base my opinion of Bill O'Reily on Colbert appearances alone, I'd think he was a pretty okay dude. They bring out good things in each other. THIS is how you should be talking about politics, America... make a note.
They actually have a great comedic dynamic.
The sharpie thing at the end! that was hilarious
I'm very conservative, but I LOVE Colbert. Just because I don't agree with him a lot, doesn't mean he isn't funny and I can't watch his show! Why can't we all just get along?!
