Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly predicted President-elect Trump will face no Republican opposition in Congress now that he has GOP control of the House and Senate.
O’Reilly called it a “unique time in history” that would give the former president a “free-fire zone” to implement his agenda.
He told NewsNation’s “On Balance” that there won’t be “one Congressperson now that will be in dissent on the Republican side,” though he noted Democratic lawmakers likely wouldn’t support any Trump initiatives.
O’Reilly compared Trump’s potential second term to former President Grover Cleveland, the only other nonconsecutive president, but noted Cleveland faced strong congressional opposition while Trump would likely have a cooperative Republican majority.
He advised the president-elect to focus on five or six “really solid bills that are almost unopposable,” including border security, immigration reform, tax cut extensions and legislation targeting sanctuary cities.

“Poor choice of words”, I agree.
That’s BULLETin-board material from the other side. “Mandate” is standard. If you must have a metaphor, use “blank check”.
Never give the other side a “bloodbath” or “firing squad” meme. They’ll damn sure use it.
A free fire zone is a zone where any in the zone may br fired upon.
If any republicans step into the zone of opposing trump they will be toast.
O'Reilly simply trying to attract attention, 100 listeners on his podcast is embarrassing.
“Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly”
WHO?
Bill, get back under your desk. Moderate democrats will go along with the policy because they just saw what happened and fighting it will consequences. The people do not trust the media and Trump has a huge score to settle with the media.
I think one of the goals of this administration is going to be isolating the communists in office and holding the media accountable for promoting a communist agenda. And what Trump is doing with his selections is marginalizing the deep state, who will also see their day of reckoning coming.
I think Cornyn will be friendlier to Trump, given the Trump victory in Texas and the primary in 2026. I think Cornyn has read the tea leaves
“A free fire zone is a area of enemy activity/zone that requires no authority to attack.”
A free fire zone is a area of enemy activity/zone where authority has been guven to attack.
Let’s see who becomes Senate Majority leader. There is plenty of room for sabotage, if RINOs, Thune or John Cornyn get in. They are Mitch McConnell clones.
I have a severe disklike for Thune and Cornyn, as I have observed them through the years.
The tentacles that need cutting are far, wide, deep, and complicated. Almost everyone will be affected. I pray for our stamina to hold, but it is going to be the toughest row to hoe of all time.
Lots of RINOs, Bill.
Not sure but probably because O’Reilly said Trump shouldn’t go after Jack Smith.
If anybody deserves retaliation it is Trump’s illegal tormentor, Jack Smith.
We can hope.
OTOH, hope is not a strategy. LOL I don’t trust Cornyn or Thune.
Yes. Weapons free, fire at will.
First thing Trump needs to do is fix the Senate by NOT having a Turtle Clone in charge of it.
That will fix 90% of his agenda problem.
Romney is going to be gone soon.
Collins is mostly a follower.
I expect the Alaska Kow to be the only issue once Turtle is gone.
If it was a 51-49 GOP, I would have suspected the Kow would flip to RAT.
No point in it now.
Not if Murkowski wants Alaska Drilling to be opened up.
“What’s Bonginos beef with O’Reilly?”
Not sure, but O’Reilly is a creampuff who thinks he’s a lot smarter than he is. Especially when it comes to religion and the Bible. He gets real mouthy and embarrasses himself.
I think Rush used to make fun of him, too.
We will see... While its true the Senate lead definitely gets rid of the usual suspects... Murkowski and Collins will be unable to stop legislative stuff.
With a small margin in the house, don’t think for one second that some of those folks are establishment/globalist/uniparty/RINOs who will be willing to be roadblocks for the right bribe.
