"That's Why They Got Waxed!" — Bill O'Reilly on Why Republicans Lost

Bill O'Reilly wants Republican leaders to challenge oil companies over the cost of war to American households. In a conversation with Patrick Bet-David, he argues that failing to show empathy for people under economic pressure helped cost Republicans the election.

The Short, posted on O'Reilly's channel, reached roughly 91,000 views in seven hours, an unusually fast start for his short-form uploads. Its comments had already exceeded eight times his usual full-day total.

O'Reilly's argument is not an endorsement of the Democrats. Early in the clip, he sharply criticizes their approach to immigration. But when he turns to explaining Republican losses, his emphasis shifts from opposition-party policies to what Americans were experiencing at home.

He accuses oil companies of making record profits during war-related price spikes and says Trump should have challenged them repeatedly rather than addressing the issue only once. "You cannot profiteer off the suffering of Americans," O'Reilly says. He presents that willingness to confront companies as a quality Republican leadership needs.

The discussion below the video centers on fuel costs, government debt and whether Republicans have paid enough attention to people struggling with bills. Those are viewers' concerns, not evidence for their claims about oil prices or companies.

O'Reilly's longer election coverage is also drawing unusually large audiences. His "Midterm Aftermath | November 4, 2026" features former Kansas governor Sam Brownback, while a separate NewsNation appearance brings him together with Chris Cuomo and Stephen A. Smith to examine the results.
