(NewsNation) — Bill O’Reilly believes that despite President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” being a “load of bull,” it will pass the Senate.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is tasked with assuring that several recalcitrant Republican senators, including at least three conservatives and two moderates, eventually support the bill. At this time, they have not committed to doing so.

“The bill is a bunch of bull,” O’Reilly said during Monday night’s appearance on “On Balance.”

“But there’s no choice in this time in history,” he explained. “The Democrats don’t want to cut any entitlement spending or supervise who gets it, or keep it away from undocumented people, or do anything.

“They’ll cut border funding. They’ll cut defense. That’s all. There’s not one Democrat on Capitol Hill, not one, who will vote for this bill.”

O’Reilly says there are no Medicaid cuts in the bill; a lie spewed out by “corrupt” media, he says, insisting the “cuts” will only affect Americans who “don’t look for work and you’re able-bodied and you don’t have a kid in the house, you’re not getting it.”

He also noted that President Trump will go down in history as a “failed president” should the bill not pass. Despite believing it is a “bunch of bull,” O’Reilly expects it to pass.

“He’s got to get the bill passed,” O’Reilly said. “If he doesn’t, there will be a recession. He’s finished. He loses the midterms. He’s a failure as president. It’s all on the line for him.”
