You're listening to Comedy Central.

Welcome back, my guests tonight. He's He's the host of The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News program channel. His new book is called Killing Pat and the Strange Death of World War II's Most Audacious General. Please welcome back to our program, Mr. William O'Reilly. William. Hello, William. Have a seat. I'm glad given the Ebola scare, you still are shaking my hand. I think that's a positive step. I know you're very frightened, and I just want to tell you everything's going to be okay. There you go, baby. Just got it going. That settled down. The book is called Bill O'Reilly, Killing Paton. It's like the eighth. We're just going to call this series, Killing Trees. They sell like crazy. It's one of them.

You didn't read it, though, huh?

No, I did not read it. I'm going to wait for the Lifetime series. But I want you to direct it. I will direct it. I want you to direct it. I'd be happy to direct it. I know, you would be good. I'm a director now.

I know. You have a vampire movie coming out.

Something like that. It's one of them tween movies where love is found unexpectedly.

That's the theme of killing Pat. No, it's not.

Here's what I love about this. Look at the cover there. It's just like, Pat is just sitting there and Hitler is just giving him the eyeballs. Look at that. Look at Hitler. I'm going to get you. All right. Listen to me. Here's all I want from you today. This is it. This is all we got to do in this conversation. Okay. I have one simple goal. I want you to admit that there is such a thing as white privilege. That's all I want you to say.

I knew you were going to admit. That's all I wanted. That's it.

Just a little... I just want you to say I'm terribly, terribly wrong on this. I just want you to look at me and say- In your case, there is white privilege. No, thank you.

The fact that you're here sitting there. He doesn't even shave. He doesn't even... Look at you.

What? That I shave? What?

You didn't shave?

Look at this. No. This growth is from... It's called Jewish privilege. It happens. We are a hirsute people. You have said, you stated this, I don't believe that there's a thing called white privilege. There is not. See, now we have a conversation we can have.

Okay, look, if there's white privilege, then there has to be Asian privilege because Asians make more money than Whites. What? You don't know any of this, huh?

Well, not in Vietnam. What Asian? You have to- Asian Americans. Well, no. Asian Americans. It depends on where they're from if you're looking at- They're from Asia.

They're Asian Americans.

I understand that, but as a- They make more money, higher education, more affluent.

So it's Asian privilege, not white privilege.

You're missing the point.

Sorry to confuse you with fact.

Okay, here we go. The Asian experience in America, the Asian immigrant experience, is very different from the black experience. So they're not equivalent. And either way, white people, males, set the system. So that's what privilege is that white people set the system that, yes, maybe Asian immigrants, once immigration policy was liberalized, have done better over these past 30 or 40 years. But there has been a systemic systematized subjugation of the black community. Would you not agree with that? Sure.

I mean, everybody knows. That's it. That's white privilege. You just did it. That's it. We're done.

You just did it. You just did. That's all this is.

What happened to that hand sanitizer? You almost touched me.

Look, that was then.

This is now.

There was white privilege, but it no longer exists.

Maybe you haven't figured out that there is no more slavery, no more Jim Crow. All right? All right. The most powerful man in the world is a black American, and the most powerful woman in the world, Oprah Winfrey, is black.

Being able to give people a free car does not make you the most powerful in the world. But listen, listen, Gosey. Don't mess with Oprah. No, no, no.

She'll come in here and shave you.

I see the issue here. You don't believe that the residual effect of... I mean, slavery and Jim Crow are dead, but the residual effects of that systemic substitution exist today.

It absolutely exists today. Let's go a different way. It exists for every race, not at that extent. But you don't put forth this, Oh, white privilege, and if you fail, that's why you fail. America is now a place where if you work hard, get educated, and an honest person, you can succeed. That's what should be put out there, not all this other stuff.

You are carrying more of a burden as a black person in this country than a white person in this country.

Collectively, yes, but not-No, individually. Listen, individually, every circumstance is different.

They don't stop and press Wall Street bankers, even though they've done far more damage to the economy. They don't stop in Chris. Listen to me. White people do more drugs in this country than black people, but black people make up a far higher majority of drug- Do you know why that is? Yes.

You do know why that is. Why is that?

Because black people... It's about real estate to some extent. There has been a systemic subjugation through real estate. Black people are ghettoized in this country. They're forced to live there.

They have to live there. Is that what you're telling me?

You're getting to a bad place, my friend.

Listen, this is the usual white guilt, liberal stuff that you guys throw out there forever. This is not guilt. This is fact. I don't feel guilty. You should.

Why?

You're getting paid for this.

You mean for this? Yeah. All right, let's go back here.

She's very guilty. Look, this is the usual stuff.

No, what made you culturally? Do you think your upbringing gave you values, ethics? Yes, it did. You didn't grow up rich, right?

No, we didn't have much money at all. I did.

You worked hard You lived where? Levetown. Levetown. New York. So it gave you a nice stable, a cheap home. There was no down payments. It was this incredible opportunity. No, those houses were subsidized. It wasn't lavish, but it was stable.

They weren't subsidized. They were sold to GIs, and the GIs got a mortgage they could afford.

They were taking a huge mistake.

No, let me just ask you a question.

Yes. Did that upbringing leave a mark on you even today? Of course.

Every upbringing leaves a mark on other people.

Could black people people live in Levittown?

Not at that time. It could not.

So that, my friend, is what we call in the business, white privilege. Okay.

That was in... No. That was in 1950, all right?

1950.

1950.

Were there black people living there in 1960?

In Levittown? Yes. I don't know.

There weren't. How do you know? Because I read up on it.

Oh, you read up? You don't know that. I do know that. I can find somebody.

My The point is this, even today- Why would you want to live there?

It's a nice place, but it's not a place like you. It's not like Bel Air.

Because it's a place that built values. What you don't understand is, imagine growing up- There were millions of black neighborhoods that built values. But imagine growing up knowing that you, as an American, as a GI who fought in World War II, couldn't buy into that because you were less.

You were not good enough. It was unfair.

And the residue of that continues today, and that is white privilege.

All right. If you want to say it's white privilege because white didn't have it as bad as blacks, fine. But that's not what's happening here in contemporary society. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Let me repeat this, and I'll do it slowly. All right. So even you can understand. All right. If you work hard, if you get educated, if you're an honest person, you can make it in America.

If you live in a neighborhood where people Our poverty is endemic, it's harder to work hard.

It's harder to get an education. You're carrying around. It was harder for me than it was for the white guy in Garden City. It's all relative. Yes, it's harder if you're a ghetto kid. Yes, but Can you do it?

Yes. Yes, you can. You can also win the 100-yard dash on one leg. But it's harder. All right.

It's harder.

And just all I'm asking is this. Here's all I'm asking. Yes. Here's all I'm asking. Because this would go a long way toward It's healing what I think is a huge racial issue in our country. Just an acknowledgement of that.

Nobody's blaming you. Every fair person acknowledges, and I've said it many times on The Factor, the highest rated cable news show in the world. The African-Americans have it harder. Somebody hasn't seen Megan Kelly yet.

She's crushing you, dude. She's crushing you.

Now, you're misleading this audience. She's crushing you. You're misleading. All right.

All I'm saying is you admit it.

You have the sanitizer again, please.

You admit So here's my point. So we've come to agreement. You admit that white privilege exists, and while it's not an excuse, it is a reality.

It doesn't exist to any extent where individuals are kept back because of their color or promoted because of their color. Look, you and I are lucky guys. We made it. We worked hard. It's not because we're white. You think I'm sitting here because I'm white? What are you, a moron? I'm sitting here because I'm obnoxious, not because I'm white. No, sir, listen to me.

The point is this. When you try and reduce it to being solely about that, absolutely. But my point is this. Women face this and minorities face this. They have to make strategic calculations in their lives that white guys never have to make. We never have to worry about walking down certain streets because somebody's going to cat call us. We never have to worry about if When we move into a neighborhood, we're going to be accepted. These are the types of things that we're talking about.

Maybe you didn't have to wear it. I did. If I had to move into a neighborhood to be accepted, I wasn't accepted anywhere. Look, you're generalizing, and what you're doing is promoting victimhood.

No, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, All right. What you call victim, what I'm saying is by acknowledging that reality, that goes a long way towards healing the resentment. What I don't understand is why so defensive about it? Why is it that white people get so defensive about this? I'm not saying that life isn't hard. Middle class white guys that are working hard to do what they can, and they look and they go, I'm not getting any privilege. That's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is a group of people that were brought here. They didn't choose to immigrate here to get that better life. Just acknowledge that our country has had a problem with that.

We can move- People acknowledge that who are fair-minded. But you don't then take that and then condemn the modern society because- Nobody's condemning them. Yes, you are. It's white privilege that makes you successful. I even heard that over here. I just said that's not. If you're not a woman, it's not- You know what I'll call it?

I'll call it this, and it's a word I think you'll understand, a factor. It's a factor.

It's a factor. I'll give you the factor business.

You did. You're giving me the factor. Common goals. That's it. That's all right. Oh, you have to sign it for me.

Wait here.

So we're okay. Are we on the air? We've been on the air the whole time. Let me tell you something. This was a beautiful moment in healing between not just black and white, Jew and Irish, tall and short. This was a historic moment.

Are you happy now, Stuart? Are you happy?

Happiness is not what comes by me. But let me say this. Your humility has moved me. You are like Pope Francis that has taken the Catholic Church into an era of acceptance and humility. You, you, Bill O'Reilly, can lead the flock of the fox fearful to a better place. I believe in you.

Welcome back to my guest tonight, former governor of Arkansas, former presidential candidate, also a best-selling author. His new book is God Guns, Grits & Gravy, which happens to be the name of my theme restaurant. Please welcome back to the program, Mike Huckabee, sir. Beautiful hug.

How are you? I'm doing great. Good to be back.

Listen, I want to talk to you. All right, the book is called God's Guns, Grits and gravy. You have a show on Fox News. You had a show. I had a show, yes. How long did you have it for?

Six and a half years. Better than I deserve.

And you quit to run for President.

Well, very likely, very possible.

Let me tell you something. Go back and beg them for your job. You've made a terrible, terrible mistake. What are you doing?

See, that's the view of the people who live in the Bubbleville that I talk about in this book.

What do you mean, America?

No. Now, the whole point is that there's a real clash of cultures, and there's a disconnect between people who live in the bubbles of New York, Washington, and Hollywood, versus the people who live in the land of the bubbas.

It sounds like there's an idea. There's a sense of, well, people who live on the coasts are not real. That you're talking about the Bubs are real, and we're not.

No, No, it's not a matter of reality. It's a matter of different perspective. I'll give you an example. Sure. There's a big difference between people who are well-educated and people who are smart. And a lot of people who are very well-educated, who are, let's say, the Harvard faculty, believe that the people who live out in this part of the world where I live and fly over country, those red states that people think, Most people are nuts.

But you believe that the bubbas are better than the bubbles?

No, different.

No, better.

I want to explain who we are to the people who live in the bubbles, because those of us who live in Bubbleville, we get the people in the bubbles because all the television shows and movies are all about the people in the bubbles.

No, you don't get it.

Six and a half years, I've come to New York, and I've seen the difference in the attitudes and lifestyles and culture. It's not that one is better.

Yes, it is. Well, if it is, it would be Bubbleville.

Let me take that point about this.

But this feels like it's against contrivance. There's no real Bubbleville and Bubbleville. You have this idea of the Hollywood culture, and the example, you use Jay-Z and Beyoncé as an example of that. You view that as a a permissiveness that you think is not great for our children. Is that correct?

Well, it was one page out of a 242-page book.

I understand, but it's representative of that idea of a culture war.

It's illustrative of a chapter called The Culture of Crude. Here's the point that I was making with the whole Beyoncé is such a mega talent. Yes. She can do anything. She's got the pipes to sing. She's got the moves to dance. She does not have to go. She doesn't have to be vulgar in order to set a trend. Exactly. That's the point.

You see that as indicative of the difference between Bubbleville and Bubbleville because we are more permissive in that way, right?

Not necessarily. It's that the thing that disturbs me, let's say, about when you see Beyoncé, who is a role model to young girls? Young girls want to be like her. Do you know any parent who has a daughter that says, Honey, if you make really good grades, someday when you're 12 or 13, we'll get you your own stripper pole. I mean, come on, John. We don't do that in our culture.

I think that's diminishing Beyoncé in a way that's truly outrageous. But I will say this. But now, here's where I'm going to show you something. Here's the blind spot of Bubbeville. All this stuff about the culture, and it's so insidious, and you don't have to do that. This is a clip from a very wholesome show on Fox News.

I know where you're going with this. I hope you did. I Play the clip.

Okay. All right, all right.

That is a song called Cat Scratch Fever. The bass player there was a gentleman by the name of Mike Huckabee. That is on a show in the middle of the day that children can watch. That ain't about bacteria.

It's not? No.

But do you see my point? You excuse that type of crudeness because you agree with his stance on firearms. You don't approve of Beyoncé because she seems alien to you. Johnny Cash shot a man just to watch him die.

Let me respond, however.

That's some gangsta, please.

Let me respond. When Ted Nugent did That song, 1978, never got nominated for a Grammy. He didn't perform it on national television. In fact, you know what the song of the year that was? Or that year was? It was a tie between Evergreen and You Light Up My Life. And John Denver hosts did the Grammys. My point is, that song is an adult song, geared for adults. But today, we have a very different depiction and things that are considered perfectly okay for kids. My point is.That's the difference.

You can't single out a corrosive culture and ignore the one that you live in because you're used to it and you don't feel that it's- I want you to, though, read the book and find.

Oh, I read. Did you? Okay.

It ain't Shakespeare.

No, I did not write this for the Harvard faculty because it might be over their heads.

The way that you use the term Harvard as a derogative, it blows my mind.

Harvard is a wonderful place, however.

No.

But don't Do you think you're using it as a derogative? No. Look, you're saying those professors at Harvard that are experts in their fields.

No. It's weird. I've spoken at Harvard, the bright kids there. But here's the point. Sometimes people who have lived in that world believe that the education that they have is absolutely so superior to the education that somebody may get out there in the interior of the country at a state school. Now, let me just say to you.

Don't you feel that people who live in the other parts of the country believe the education they got, whether it be on a farm or in a thing, is superior? Isn't that my whole point?

That's why I said the difference between- Each group believes that they are somehow different from the other and better. But there's a difference, and this is the point I made, there's a difference between education and smart. If your car breaks down in the middle of the night on the country road, who do you want coming by? An MBA and a Beamer? Or do you want a couple of good old boys in a pickup truck with a toolbox in the back? Just tell me, which one.

Both of those scenarios feel very frightening to me.

And they probably should.

I want Triple A.

God, guns, grits, and gravy.

And gravy.

It's all about Sean and Mike Huckabee.
