In this brief YouTube segment, Dennis Prager introduces a conversation with Bill O'Reilly recorded in Montreal. O'Reilly, referencing his book United States of Trump, argues that Donald Trump’s lifelong immersion in American capitalism, sports, and media demonstrates his love for the United States. He notes Trump’s immigrant family background and personal privilege as further evidence of his patriotism. Prager counters by pointing out that wealth and capitalist success, as exemplified by left‑leaning billionaire Tom Steyer, do not automatically equate to love for America, suggesting Steyer harbors contempt for the country. The segment ends with a promotional plug for PragerUtopia, encouraging listeners to subscribe for ad‑free access.

Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and this is what you missed yesterday on the show. Hi everybody, from Montreal, Canada, where I spoke last night, and now Bill O'Reilly's with me, and I left you with a question. Bill O'Reilly's latest book, undoubtedly another bestseller, United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America. And he does know Donald Trump. So my best understanding of him came from my wife, who said to me sort of out of nowhere, 6 months or so into his presidency, he loves America. And I buy that. Am I naive?
Trump's whole life has been centered around capitalism and the ability to make deals in our system. He's not a world traveler in a sense that he likes to vacation abroad, or he's not an expert in foreign cultures or any of that. He's very American-centric, very interested in sports. That's how I socialize with Trump. We used to go to games together. Here in New York, interested in the culture, the media, all of that. So yes, he has obviously lived a life of privilege in America. His great— his grandfather, I should say, came over from Germany. So he does love his country.
Well, I mean, Tom Steyer has made a fortune in America, perhaps arguably more than Donald Trump. I don't think he loves America. I think he has contempt for it like every leftist. So the fact that he has made money and he's a capitalist doesn't ensure that he'll love America. I think he simply does.
