Unknown Speaker
Welcome to the no Spin News. Thursday, July 24, 2025 stand up for your country. So about 8:30 in the morning, I got a call on my dopey cell phone from President Trump and we had a half hour conversation about pretty much everything. And I'll tell you about it in a final thought at the end of the program. Certain things I can't report because it's personal between the president myself, known him for 33 years now, something like that. I was and am very concerned about his health. He's got a real problem with a swollen hand because he shakes hundreds of hands a week. I don't shake hands very rarely anymore. I use the fist bump and I tell people, look, wherever I go, people know me and they come up and a lot of them want to shake my hand. Other, others don't, but. And I just go, I give them the fist bump because if I didn't, I'd have swollen hands. And I never got Covid. And one of the reasons is that I didn't shake hands. I was doing a fist bump back then. But anyway, I'm being diverted. But I, I was concerned. I am concerned about President Trump's health because he's almost 80 years old here. The guy's got more energy than me and that is saying something. All right, I can't keep up with him. So we talked about his health for a while. We talked about his mental and emotional state because he's getting pounded now with the Epstein stuff and it's really cruel. So what the. And we're going to get into this a little bit today. What the corporate corrupt media is trying to do is tie Trump into Epstein in some kind of illegality. All right? That's what this is all about. They're not going to prove that. The mainstream press, I don't believe, but it doesn't matter to them. They want to create the perception that Donald Trump did something very, very, very wrong with Jeffrey Epstein. And that's what all of this is about. I'll prove it tonight to you. And it's, you know, when you're a human being and you're absorbing that kind of punishment on a daily basis, takes a toll. So I spent some time talking to him about that, and then we got into policy. And again, I will tell you about that in the final thought. Talking Points memo is on the economy, which is by far the biggest, most important story in the country. And it will affect you directly what happens in the US Economy, every one of us. So there was good news this week for the Trump administration. A big Japanese trade deal. Okay? And the deal is basically President Trump negotiated a reduction of the 25% threatened tariff to 15. And then Japan committed $550 billion to invest in the USA. Okay, why is this good for the USA? It will generate hundreds of thousands of US jobs, expand domestic manufacturing, secure American prosperity for generations. Also, the Japanese are going to take American cars, much more so than they are now. When I was in Japan in May, we didn't see any American cars. Lots of German cars, no American cars. So now that's going to change. So this is a good thing for America. Okay? The other trade deals that Trump has made so far are Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, UK and a partial deal with China. But the China is the big one. EU is coming up, and China's coming up. Those are huge. We're watching it very closely. In addition, AstraZeneca, which is a pharmaceutical company, is based in the U.K. cambridge. They're going to build a huge plant in Virginia. $50 billion they're investing in the USA and the other companies that are building here. Project, Stargate, Apple, Nvidia, Micron, IBM, Taiwan Semiconductor, Johnson and Johnson all pledged new facilities and a lot of money invested in the American economy. I mean, this is huge. This is huge. But you would never know it by the reportage of the press. So last night on the CBS Evening News, they spent two minutes on Epstein, zero seconds on the Japanese deal on ABC News, which basically is a weather forecasting outfit. Now, 4 minutes and 23 seconds on Epstein. Okay, zero on the Japan deal. Nightly news, NBC, 3 minutes, 20 seconds on Epstein. Nothing on the Japanese deal or the economy. So the three nightly news shakes totally ignored the much bigger story that the Trump tariff policy is now working. And the stock market was up yesterday, 500 points. Come on. If you're 401ks and you have all of that investment, I told you to hang on. Remember that when it was wobbly and earlier this year, okay, you're now doing well. No guarantee things go south, that thing can come right back down. Now, you'll remember at the time of the tariffs, I said I didn't know what was going to happen. But the hate Trump brigades. Oh, oh, Armageddon. Roll tape. This is not what the American people want. They want him focused on costs, and he's not doing that. I expect, because it's still, in a way, early days, that we're going to see further pressure and more significant pressure on inflation as a result of the tariffs over the remainder of the summer and into the fall. Donald Trump has made a lot of noise and he's reducing the noise perhaps a little bit. But all of this, to my mind, doesn't change fundamentals very much at all, which is that the US Economy is not in good shape and Trump's tariff policies are not going to solve the problems. Well, that guy works at Columbia University, of course, Trump, but he should be fired. His name is Jeffrey Sachs and he's a director of the center for Sustainable Development. I mean, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. All of those people, reporters should be going there. Well, wait, you said this. What do you say now? But no, of course not. I mean, they're not going to do that. So summing up, the economy will tell the tale in the midterms in 26, and that will, of course, define the Trump administration going forward. Epstein will disappear into the netherworld unless there's something else that we don't know. And the dishonest press has not learned any lessons at all from the CBS debacle, from the Stephanopoulos debacle, from the Colbert debacle, Nothing. They continue to do what they do in a dishonest way. And that is the memoir. All right, John McLaughlin is a pollster, independent. He works for Trump, but he does other things. The Tea Party. I didn't even know the Tea Party still around, but they are. They hired him. Do a poll on immigration, okay. And it was a thousand general election voters, people who voted in the last presidential election. And McLaughlin broke it down on how many people showed up at the polls so 37% Republican, 33 Democrat, 30 independent. So it's a good sample. Question number one. It is neither fair nor right to allow a particular group of illegal immigrants to jump the line and be awarded the benefits of legal status and a potential pathway to U.S. citizenship before hundreds of thousands of potential legal immigrants who have followed the law and waited in line. Let's face it, the US economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Unknown Speaker
Agree 77%. Disagree 13%. All right, that shows Americans are a fair people. Second question. Agree or disagree? Everyone who has entered the country illegally, regardless of what additional crimes they may or may not have committed while in America and regardless of their employment, should be deported. All undocumented migrants should be booted. Okay. Agree. 56. Disagree. 34. Don't know. 10. Now, that reflects a higher Republican sampling in this poll. I think it's about 50. 50 on that one. All right, last question. Would you support or oppose federal governments requiring an addition of simple identifier unreal IDs to indicate whether you're a US citizen or not? Support 65. Opposed. 22. Don't know 13. Okay. I mean, look, you can't deport all of the undocumented. You can't. And I think Congress has got to recognize that fact, make new immigration laws, because Biden just blew them all up and let's enforce those laws. So if I'm President Trump, I'm saying, look, this is what we're doing now. We're rounding up all the criminals and some non criminal migrants and we're deporting them. I'd have a little more clarification on the non criminals, but I want new laws that are sane and fair and that shifts it into Congress a little bit. No reason why Congress can't pass new immigration laws. None. All right. Now, Texas has been awarded a $1.3 billion contract by the Trump administration to build the country's largest immigration detention center, Fort Bliss. That's right outside of El Paso. They got a million acres down there. I've been down there. That's some kind of place. So they're going to build it. They have an airport there. Quick deportations. And this will be the center of American deportations, not only in the Trump administration, but going forward. The Trump administration, as you know, does not want birthright citizenship. The law says now, and it's in the Constitution, that if you are born in the usa, you are automatically a citizen. Trump administration wants that done away with and they are losing. The U.S. court of Appeals, 9th Circuit California took up a case, 2 to 1 ruling. Both liberals voted to keep the birthright. The judge that was appointed by Trump voted against it. Okay, this happened yesterday, but this is not going to change. The Fourth Amendment is not going to be overturned and this is going to stay. Might go up to the Supreme Court, but they'll rule, as I predicted. Roll tape. Another controversy involving President Trump. He wants to earn and birthright citizenship. He's not going to be able to do it. The president does not have that power. I said that on December 11, 2024, about a year and a half ago, because if you read the Constitution, it's clear there in order to overturn that, you'd have to get 2/3 of the states and 2/3 of both houses of Congress to vote to throw it out. And it's never, never, ever, ever going to happen. Okay, let's go to the corrupt media. So Stephen Colbert get a lot of publicity. And I've been doing a bunch of radio shows this week. We did Hannity and that's on Billorilly.com, wWC. Sid Rosenberg, that's on Billorilly.Com, clay and Buck. I did this afternoon. And it always comes around a Colbert. And some of the conservative hosts are Angry that Colbert is being deified. Praise. And I'm going, it doesn't matter. He's done, he's through. He's not going to last till May. They say he'll be show beyond till May. It won't. But the Progressive Change campaign is now circulating a petition and they're actually having demonstrations in support of Stephen Colbert. So they had a demonstration in New York and nobody showed up. All right, Few dozen people showed up and they were paid, I'm sure, to show up. So not like there's a groundswell and the progressive outfit says they got hundreds of thousand signatures. Okay, fine. But there is something more important here. And just booting Stephen Colbert off the air. Okay, and here it is. Roll of tape. But with Colbert, you see, what, what sunk him was not just his vitriolic approach to Trump, but he censored his program. This has not been put out there by anybody. You could not get on his program unless you hated Trump. So I was on late nights, all of them, 75 times. Wow. All right. I think it's me and Robin Williams with a, with a guy who. Did you, did it start in the Carson era or Letterman? No letter. Wow. Letterman, Leno, Kimmel, all of them. But I, and I did actually appear with Colbert way, way back one time. But, but Colbert would never invite anybody who didn't hate Trump. And that was the crux of the problem. Because when a corporation like Paramount, cbs, uses its airtime to promote a political candidate, Kamala Harris, or a political philosophy, liberalism, and doesn't give any time to the other side, then you're running up against all kinds of First Amendment issues. So. And it's not just Colbert. Now, I told you this. I got Confronting Evil coming out on September 9th. We're going to do a media push like we always do. All right? And then last September, we had Confronting the Prison. So we wanted to get on a CBS Morning News Jane Pauley on Sunday. Okay. Because that's a, you know, they give you a lot of time and sell some books. Ms. Pauley wouldn't put us on. And I, I emailed her directly. Okay. Didn't even consider it. Okay. And then we tracked it. We tracked her program for a year. One non liberal guest in that slot, Newt Gingrich. That's all. Okay. And the only reason the speaker got on there was because of me pounding. This Sunday morning program on cbs, the whole apparatus is set up to deny traditional conservative Americans a voice. I mean, deny them a voice, not just denigrate them, not just mock them. Shut them out, censor them down. Now, I don't care whether you hate Trump or not. What do I care? All right? I report honestly. I know what the man is doing. And then you can take it or leave it. So I get along with Jon Stewart. He invited me on his program. I hope he does it again. Bill Maher invited me on his program. I hope we can work that out. Okay? And a number of liberal people said, okay, you can. Come on. I was on CNN for Presidents. They invited me on it, put me on like one in the morning. But that's all right. At least I got on. But not. CBS slammed that door. And that didn't used to happen. You remember on 60 Minutes, which openly rooted for Kamala Harris, Openly rooted for her. That's what that story was about, by the way, with the interview and all that. You remember that Mike Wallace and Don hewitt, who ran 60 Minutes, I was on twice. Twice. Once you're killing Jesus and once because I'm so effervescent or whatever. And. And it was no problem. They didn't agree with me, all right? But it was lively back and forth. That's the way it should be. But now they have started the censorship, and that is what you have in totalitarian states. And that is really the essence of Stephen Colbert. He cannot stand up against me. You guys know that. I mean, Letterman, he tried. He saw what happened. It was a very lively back and forth. Jon Stewart, though, that is a legendary association I have with him, because those guys were fast. I mean, both of them. I had to be on my A game. Colbert's not fast, all right? I mean, he can't. He sits with me and debates presidential politics. It's over. So he's not going to do that. But CBS allowed him to run that show in an unfair way. And that's really the crux of the matter. Skydance. So CBS is going to be sold to this outfit, Skydance, and we understand that's going to take place in October. It's quick. Skydance, a much more conservative company. So they said to the fcc, Federal Communications Commission, we're going to knock out all our DEI programs that CBS put in or. Or at least we'll reevaluate them, which means they're going to knock them out, okay? Because they want the Trump administration to okay this huge deal. The federal government has to okay it, and it will. And once Skydance gets the property, everything's going to change at cbs. And I think that's going to have a ripple effect on NBC and abc. Now if you say well, I don't really care about the media, I don't watch it, I don't any. Okay? But believe me when I tell you that if the Democratic party loses.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to 15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com Put us in a box.

And if Skydance is fair and starts to bring on some Republicans or traditionalists or conservatives, whatever it may be, that's going to hurt the Democrats too. That is the essence of the story. Not personalities, not any of that. Now I'm going to do my YouTube thing. I'm going to get into this a little bit more on YouTube. We'll tell you about that in a moment. All right. Now Candice Owens know her? Never interviewed her. Very conservative woman on social media. She said that the first lady of France is really a man. Wow. Roll a tape.
- [22:53]
Bill O'Reilly
So we will start from the top here with a photo of Brigitte Macron, real name Jean Michel Trognow. Okay, look at this. Okay, that person that you are looking at on the right is not a woman. Okay, I want you just to accept that. Take a second, take a sip of water. Oh my God. What is going to saying it could be possible that like the entire state would be involved in protecting the secret? Yes, that is what I have been telling you. And at great cost to myself obviously.
- [23:20]
Unknown Speaker
All right, so the great cause is she being sued Candace Owens by the Macrons in Delaware. Why Delaware? Because that's where Candace Owens has her corporation. And we don't know how much money but they were asking for punitive monetary damages and Candace Owens gonna have to defend. It's gonna cost her A lot of money. Now, is the first lady a man? No. Okay. So this is not even a closed case. I guess Candace Owens gonna have a lawyer say, well, she's being sued. Satirical or something. But you can't do this. You can't do it. And so we'll follow the case, the Macrons. And on their end, the French government's paying for the lawsuits, so they're not out any money. And I don't know. Crazy world, right? Okay. Ron Klain testified in front of the Comer House Oversight Committee. We don't have specifics, but he did not take the Fifth Amendment. Answered their questions in a respectful way. I'm told he was chief of staff for Biden from January 21st to February 23rd. Two years. Then he left and a guy named Jeff Zients took over. He was chief of staff in the last two years. Both of those guys know everything about Biden. Now, do you think Klain's going to go in front of the committee and raise his hand? This is closed door now. Okay. And say, yeah, we knew he was senile. Yeah, we ran the government. He didn't know what he was doing. You think he's going to say that? No. So everybody gets hopped up about this stuff. You know, I. It'll come out. The Q and A will come out. But I can't imagine that claim is going to go in and say, yeah, yeah, we big fraud and we lied about it. He's not so. But it's a story. We'll follow the story. Smart life. Now, this is a very important thing for you. So we all have to eat. Problem in America is that we want to eat fast and thus fast food. Everybody knows that. Good for you. But we're on the run. And with this and with that, and we don't have time to be in a kitchen whipping up good food and on and on and on and on. So you go to the grocery stores and they have processed food there, okay? This stuff that you throw in the microwave and you heat up, you put in the oven or whatever it may be, well, it's bad and it's killing people. And this is the RFK Jr thing. And he's right about this. RFK Jr haven't heard from him in a while, but he should be out there pounding his drum. So the Cognitive market research outfit says that processed food industry, $1.3 trillion a year, we're just grabbing this stuff off the shelves. I've done this. Okay. And the processed foods basically take out the nutrition of the food and put in all kinds of things that so the food won't spoil and taste better. And dump salt, whatever it may be. Okay? So it's bad for you. And 70% of the US food supply is processed foods. 70%, because we don't have time to go to the marketplace and get the carrots, this and that. And so we're just running, running, running. All right, now here are the worst foods, and I eat some of them, and I'm going to tell you which ones I eat. So potato chips, corn chips. I had some corn chips last night. Cookies, crackers, baked goods, candy, ice cream, breakfast cereals. Now I eat Irish oatmeal maybe three, four times a week. That's not processed food. Okay, but everybody dumps the cereals on there. Full of sugar. Can't be more than 10mg of sugar. Packaged bread, that means all bread. Unless you're going to the marketplace. Right? Soft drinks, we all know that. Fruit juices, sugary fruit juices. I get the orange juice. That's like, cut in half on the sugar. I don't know how they do it. Frozen meals, forget it. Burgers, fries, hot dogs, sausage, bacon, deli meats, canned vegetables, soups. Can't eat anything. You can't eat anything. Mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressings. Oh, yay. So I've cut down the amount of food I eat, and I try to pinpoint it, okay, so instead of the chips, I have carrots with a little blue cheese dressing, just a little dip or celery, that kind of thing. I'm trying hard to just cut it down. Carbohydrates, that's what I got to cut out of my diet. But you should know. But it's impossible, though. You can't go to the ballpark and not have a hot dog or a cheeseburger once in a while. I mean, come on, you can't be eating kale. I hate kale now. I like Brussels sprouts. I'll eat asparagus. I'll eat broccoli with a little drizzle of something on it. Chopped up salads are all right. I always get the dressing on the side, so I'm not dumping the dressing on there. So you can be smart about it, but be aware. And younger people don't think they're ever going to die. They don't, because it's not on the horizon at their age. So they eat all this garbage. And then there are people who are way overweight, and the reason they're overweight is sugar. And carbs. That's it. So what I do is every day I write down this is what I'm going to do. And when you think about it, creative things come into mind. Tonight I'm going to have some chopped clams, and I think I'm going to go for chicken quesadilla. Now that's dicey, but it's not horrible. All right. But I want you to know that I'm in this with you. Smart Life The Sand History July 24, 2005 Wait a minute. I skipped the big one. I skipped the most important story. Let's back up.

Bill O'Reilly
Last summer, at the height of a bitterly contested and hugely consequential presidential campaign, a foreign adversarial power intervened in an effort to weaken our democracy and to influence the outcome for one candidate and against the other.
- [33:49]
Unknown Speaker
That foreign adversary was, of course, Russia.
- [33:52]
Bill O'Reilly
And it acted through its intelligence agencies and upon the direct instructions of its autocratic ruler, Vladimir Putin, in order to help Donald J. Trump become the 45th.
- [34:01]
Unknown Speaker
President of the United States. Not one shred of evidence. And they've had two special counsels, okay? Everybody looking at it. Biden was president, all his people looking at it. Not one, not one piece of evidence that Putin did anything concrete to help Donald J. Trump win the election of 2016. Okay. And then I go on and on. And that commentary is going to be that this is the last day with a brand new commentary. Tonight, it's going to be on the collapse of the corrupt media. And it's all because of Trump. Trump did this single handedly collapsed the corrupt media in this country, but both actively and passively. So that is my YouTube bonus commentary again. YouTube.com Bill O'Reilly it is free. Thank you all for subscribing. My God, you know, a million. And we'll have two by, I don't know, this time next year, maybe before stay in history. July 24, 2005, Lance Armstrong wins his seventh consecutive Tour de France. All right. Considered the best bicyclist on earth. Here's what he said after the win. Go. You should believe in these athletes and you should believe in these people. And I'm a fan of the Tour.
- [35:40]
Bill O'Reilly
De France for as long as I live.
- [35:42]
Unknown Speaker
And there are no secrets.
- [35:43]
Bill O'Reilly
This is a hard sporting event and.
- [35:45]
Unknown Speaker
Hard work wins it. So vive la Tour forever. Thank you. All right. Well, there are secrets because the US Anti Doping Agency found out that Armstrong was taking drugs, okay, and that he was a ringleader of it. So he was banned from all international and USA competition and his life blew up. He denied everything for a long time. Then he went on Oprah and said, yeah, I did it in 2013. So remember that seventh victory was 2005, 20 years ago today. It took him eight years to cop to what he was doing. Now, Armstrong today has a couple of podcasts and that is pretty much it. So that happened. I do not know Armstrong. Never met him. He can't be cheating. Cheating is no. Back with my conversation this morning with Donald Trump. Okay, so President Trump doesn't really give you a heads up when he's going to call. Last night he called me 30 seconds before the Cuomo News Nation hit was set to begin. And I said, Mr. President, I'm going on TV. And 30, 30 seconds, literally. Can I call you back? He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So I couldn't get him last night. So he calls me this morning. And the first thing, as I mentioned topic program was about his health and how he's doing because, you know, he's my friend. So what am I going to ask him about himself first? And then I asked him. He asked me, remember, I don't volunteer things. I don't call the President. I had to call him back because that was courtesy. But I don't call him and bother him and I don't suggest things to him when we're talking unless he asks me. My job is I'm still a journalist here. But when President Obama asked me stuff, I answered honestly. When George Bush the younger asked me stuff, I answered honestly. I'd never asked me anything. So first thing was China. China is big. And I have the best sources in China, in the American media by far. There's nobody close to me that is sources in Beijing. And I told them what was going on behind the scenes. I can't divulge it, but it was. This is where they are. This is what they want. I do believe the President will visit China in the fall. I hope he does. But there is an opening there. There is now Russia. I don't know anything. I don't have any contacts driving me nuts. Everybody in Russia is So terrified that they're going to get poisoned or shot or thrown out a window. I can't get anything. So, China, I know everything. Russia, I don't know anything. I'm trying. And then we talked about Epstein, and I gave the President my view of how to handle it. Pretty much what I told you guys. Don't talk about it yet. Bondi, the Justice Department, in a methodical way to explain what's going on. But then I went to Trump's wedding with Marla Maples, and Epstein was at that wedding. I didn't know him. I didn't know who he was. Tons of people at the wedding. But when you know the history of New York City and that all these people intertwined, all these wealthy people. I wasn't wealthy. Trump just liked me. Comic relief, I guess. But I understand the culture. And just because you knew somebody doesn't mean you were involved with some kind of nefarious activity. Come on. That's just insane. Okay, So I gave him, you know, like, this is what it is. And he told me, boy, I didn't send that card. And I didn't. Okay, okay. Guys. Never lied to me. 33 years. Okay? Just so you know. So anyway, that was my morning, and I'm privileged to be able to talk to the President of the United States, no matter who it is. I respect the office that much. I just say to myself, how did I ever get to. This kid from Levittown was painting houses to try to put himself through college, and now I'm talking to the President of the United States. Only in America. Believe me, if I was in France, I wouldn't be talking to Macron or his wife, who not even. No, I'm not going to do it. All right. Thank you very much for watching and listening across our radio syndicate to the no Spin News big column on Sunday. I'll see you again on Monday.
