What is dadication? The thing that drives me every day as a dad is Dariona. We call him Dae Dae for short. Every day he's hungry for something, whether it's attention, affection, knowledge. And there's this huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer under my wing that he's a good person. I want him to be able to sit back one day and go, we worked together. We did a good job. That's dadication. Find out more@fatherhood.gov brought to you by the U.S. department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council.

Here. Welcome to the no spin news. Monday, June 2, 2025 Stand up for your country. Well, millions of people all over the world followed by Marco Polo adventures to Japan, South Korea and especially China got back late Saturday night, still a little woozy. You cross the international date line. You don't know what day it is, what time it is. But I have a lot to report from the nine day trip to you tonight. And I hope you read my Sunday column and the messages of the day today and last Friday, because I don't want to be redundant, I go into detail there. So if you didn't read them, you can read them after this and everything will come into focus. This was an extraordinary journey, one that I did not anticipate, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So I got a call, I don't know, six weeks ago from a friend of mine at Harvard, and he said, you're going to China? And I said, yeah, how do you know? And he said, because the Chinese government just called me. Now why would they do that? Because Beijing puts a lot of people in the Kennedy School at Harvard, where I received a master's degree and they do a lot of business China with Harvard. It's very prestigious for a Chinese government official to attend Harvard University. So they keep an eye on things. And they knew that I was an alumni. Now, how did they know I was going to China? Because I made a reservation at the Four Seasons Hotel across an American embassy. And everybody who's from America that goes in there, the Chinese government knows within two hours. Isn't that interesting? China is the most intense surveillance state this world has ever seen by far. And I document that in my column. And again, I hope you you read it. So anyway, the offer was we would like Mr. O'Reilly to come to Beijing to do a seminar, a question and answer with some Chinese government officials who are very worried about the second Trump administration. So I said, okay, because that's my job, right? My job is to look out for you by being a journalist and assembling facts and also to look out for my country. So I'm going in. And I did. It worked out great. The Chinese are very, very respectful to me. And the rules were simple. Everything was off the record in the sense that no quotations and no names mentioned except mine, which is all right with me. They videotaped the entire as close to two hours. But if they use it, any of it, then I get to use it, too. That's the deal we have, and I do believe they will adhere to that deal. The reason they taped it was there were even bigger shots watching this on closed circuit. Okay? Now, when I go in, I tell the truth, but I was not as bellicose as I can be, and I told them I wouldn't be. I said, I'm not here to debate you on policy. That's not what I'm here to do. You want to know something about the USA or President Trump, I will answer your question. If I don't know the answer, I will tell you. But I'm not debating. So tariffs and all of that. Not my job to debate. My job is to tell you what's happening in America, which I did. They accepted that, and they asked good questions. But it took a turn when I said, I have a proposal for you which I've been working on for a while, and it's called the Partnership for Peace and Prosperity between the United States and China. And I laid it out, and they were stunned. I said, if the United States and China were to ally together and control the crazies of the world, Iran, Putin, other insane things, North Korea, if we were to establish an economic partnership that led to stability, that would be an unbelievable thing. Now, most Americans do not know that China and the United States is the most important story by far in the world. You mentioned China. Their eyes glaze over. They don't pay attention. They want to hear about Puff Daddy. They don't know. This is by far the most important story for you. Because what happens with the United States and China will influence how much money you get and how much money you will keep. And it is a life and death situation. Again, it is not my job to make policy for the Trump administration, but I laid out a pathway where both countries could work together. I did inform President Trump I was going, and yesterday I debriefed him for 30 minutes on the telephone. That was off the record. I cannot tell you what I said, but he got Pretty much everything you're going to get, okay? Including the columns. And the President listened very intently and asked very good questions, which he always does when I talk to him. And I'm not patronizing anybody. I'm telling you the truth. Anyway, by far the most important thing to the Chinese government is Taiwan. Not the tariffs and not the day to day. You violated this. You can't have Chinese students. This is that. No, all of that can be taken care of. Taiwan is the big one. And I basically said, after they came at me with Taiwan, I said, look, the United States government under President Trump is not going to let you invade Taiwan and take it over without a brutal, and I mean that literally, a brutal reprisal. Donald Trump does not want to look like a weakling. He doesn't want to look like President, President Biden. And this was interesting. The Chinese government, no use for Biden at all. Calling him weak and unfocused. No use. They're happy Trump's in there because they think they might be able to get some deals out of this. Now, when I was driving around China because we went up to the Great Wall and all the Pictures are on billoriley.com I didn't see one American car. My son saw a couple. I, I didn't see any in Japan. I didn't see any in South Korea. So that whole tariff thing is real. There are no cars for Americans in there. And China's 1.5 billion people, five times our population now, a lot. I'm going to read you some questions coming up. A lot of people don't understand why the Chinese people allow this surveillance communist state, because they have never for one day known freedom in their entire history. China has never known a day of freedom. It's exactly the same thing in the revolutionary war. And 50% of the colonists, the Americans supported the King. It drove George Washington crazy and John Hancock and Samuel Adams. They couldn't get the Tories. They were called to support the revolution because those people never knew a day of freedom. They were under the King in England. They come over here. I got freedom. What's freedom In Beijing, the concept is just, you know, they don't have a free press. They don't see their every single thing is controlled. When you are born in China, you get an ID card, okay? You have to carry the ID card in your diaper, okay? If you don't have it and the authorities stop you, you're arrested. 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 that's just the start of it. They confiscated two of my pens for no reason. Woman was about 22, goes, I'm taking your pens in Chinese. I had a translator. I said, why? I'm a journalist. What am I going to write with? Took the pen for no reason. And that small ball. But just give you an idea. So anyway, on the Taiwan thing, I gave them, I said, this can be worked out. The year 2049 is the 100th anniversary of Mao Zedong's takeover. Communist takeover. That's when the government wants Taiwan in the fold. But they're going to have to carve out autonomy for Taiwan for the west to go along with it. Doable. Hard. Very hard. Tariffs are hard. All of this is hard. Okay, so I got a bunch of mail. Richard, Chinese government not trustworthy. Okay? They've been lying, cheating and stealing for decades. I find it interesting that you would propose a deal that would allow them to jointly police the world. Your proposal sounds a lot like a one world government laid out in the book of Revelations. Okay, look, Rich, it. If you want to be a pinhead and say we're not dealing with the Chinese because we don't trust them, then you're going to have World War 3 come in, get ready, get your food, get your bunker. Barry Taiwan will make or break Point of closure Cooperation between China and USA Their enthusiastic response for you when you said a closer partnership may be necessary was a good sign. I live in Saipan. That's Japan territory. Barry. I don't know if they were enthusiastic about me, but they weren't bored. They listened. Nancy, California, during your recent trip to China, you spoke with the heads of the Chinese Communist Party in an effort to obtain a close relationship with the US Stated the Chinese wanted most was the annexation of Taiwan, which is a free country. Are you willing to sell out Taiwan? Not selling out anybody. I'm trying to get an arrangement. I'm trying to avert World War 3. That's what I'm trying to do. Arrangement could be made. Andrea Malcuso, Carrollton, Texas. Regarding your off the record trip to China, you allowed to discuss the Q and A with President Trump? No, I don't. When I talked to the president, this, you know, I said, this is off the record. This was off the record. Now, the Chinese knew I was talking to Trump because I told them that up top. I tell everybody up front, they knew. I said, what happens here is going back to him. Richard, I thank God every day I was born in the USA greatest country. Fortunately, a politician, radical activist in the country would love to have totalitarianism. China is not the only country guilty of this oppression. True, but it's way beyond anything. I was in Spain when Franco was there. Been to Cuba, Romania when the Soviets ran it. Not close. One more. Lisa far left, could learn a thing or two about the brutal Communists as far as social order goes. Yeah. And San Francisco was big. I wrote about that in a message of the day on billorilly.com they're appalled. They go, what is this? Because they all have relatives living in San Francisco. I go, this is progressivism. This is what happens. Okay, Bill O'Reilly here. I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club for a special presentation called the Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom. How the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history. Details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now, I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best performing stocks of our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit trumpsamericandream.com Trumpsamericandream.com the day after I left, there was an announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that some Chinese students would be deported. Big mistake. I haven't heard much about it, so maybe they're pulling back. You don't insult your adversary, just like you don't insult Putin, okay? That gets you nowhere. If you want peace, okay? That's not helpful in the big picture. And then at mit, there was a nut, Megha Vermore, who gave she's the president, senior class, mit. And then she gets up there and bashes Israel. Roll tape. Last spring, MIT's Undergraduate Body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and you stood in solidarity with the pro Palestine activists on campus. You faced threats, intimidation, and suppression coming from all directions, especially your own university officials. But you prevailed because the MIT community that I know would never tolerate a genocide. All right, you know, radical left people, genocide, blah, blah, blah. MIT is not letting her graduate with everybody else, and they're trying to punish her like that, but they had to know she was going to do that because she's a known radical. Jonas now is a guy I personally requested to analyze my utterings about China because I think he's one of the smartest guys in the country. And he's an honest man as well. He's Victor Davis Hansen. You know him. He's a syndicated columnist. He works at the Hoover Institution, which is on a. On the campus of Stanford University. Right, professor, that's where you're. Hoover is. Right? Okay, so, you know, you know, the. And there are tons. One of the. There was only one woman in the. And these were hard men, by the way, in the. On. In the room where I gave the seminar, about 14 of them, 13 men. One woman who was a Stanford grad, very articulate woman, powerful woman. The other guy, she, she put the other guys to shame because she understood a little bit about the flow in and out of the usa, where the. A lot of them didn't. They really you know, they were very hardcore Maoists. Anyway, you've read my column, you listen to my bloviating here. What say you?
