On The O'Reilly Factor Tuesday, host Bill O'Reilly pressed Univision anchor Jorge Ramos on his open "activism" for amnesty for illegal immigrants. When Ramos attempted to portray himself as a true "reporter," O'Reilly said, "You're not! You're an activist," urging Ramos to accept that he's "not a newsman anymore."

The showdown between the two massively influential hosts was preceded by O'Reilly publicly calling out the "zealot" Ramos for refusing to come on his show and discuss difficult topics, like the murder of Kate Steinle by a multi-time deported illegal immigrant in a "sanctuary city."

After O'Reilly accused Ramos of running and hiding over the issue of "Kate's Law," Ramos appeared on CNN the following weekend to condemn the law as "completely unfair" because, according to Ramos, it promoted a racist "stereotype" of Hispanics.

Tuesday, Ramos finally took O'Reilly up on his challenge to talk about his views on illegal immigration face to face. By the end of the heated exchange, Ramos did not appear to be thrilled by the results. Here's the transcript of one of the more heated moments (via Gateway Pundit):

O'REILLY: OK, now you’re an anchor man. How can you possibly cover illegal immigration fairly when you’re an activist? When you’re a proponent of allowing them amnesty? How can you possibly cover the story? You should excuse yourself from it or recuse yourself from it. Or, become like me a commentator.

RAMOS: I'm just a reporter.

O'REILLY: You're not! You're an activist.

RAMOS: Mr. O'Reilly, I don't think you're the right person to lecture me on advocacy when you spend most of your program giving opinions…

O'REILLY: … Jorge, why don't you just become like me a commentator? You’re not a newsman anymore.
