The show kicked off with a discussion about the recent Signal chat controversy involving high-level national security officials. The hosts argued that the situation is being blown out of proportion and emphasized that no classified information was shared. They also touched on the downfall of Disney's Snow White remake and the controversy surrounding Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's comments about Governor Abbott, who is wheelchair-bound. The hosts found her explanation for calling him "Hot Wheels" unconvincing and discussed the broader implications of her remarks. The conversation then shifted to the role of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the recent comments by Tulsi Gabbard regarding the Signal chat incident. The hosts debated the significance of the mistake and the potential political motivations behind the story's release. They also speculated on the possibility of other Signal chats being compromised and the overall security protocols in place for such communications. The Dean of American Journalists, Bill O'Reilly, on how he would handle the Signal scandal, his grade for President Trump, and the future of the Democrat Party leadership. Bill's upcoming book "Confronting Evil" and his Three American Live show with Stephen A. Smith and Chris Cuomo is this Sunday and tickets are still available. They delved into the Signal chat controversy, asserting that the incident is not a scandal but an embarrassing mistake. The hosts and O'Reilly then debated the ethics of journalists accessing sensitive information and the potential consequences for national security. The conversation then shifted to President Trump's performance in his second term. O'Reilly graded Trump on various aspects, giving him high marks for border control and deportations but a lower grade for tariffs. They also discussed the potential for a ceasefire in Ukraine and the future of the Democratic Party, with O'Reilly criticizing figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
