CBS Sunday and streaming on Paramount. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Monday, January 26, 2026. Stand up for your country. Well, obviously here I am after a week of medical challenges, but I'm going out on my shield. So you're not keeping me down until I'm in the grave. And I'm not really that bad, but it's an unpredictable malady. If you read my column, I hope you did yesterday, I explained a little of it. And if you have not, it'll be posted the entire week. I'll get to at the end of the program. So I'm back and I had to be on today because we are witnessing one of the most important stories in my entire lifetime of 50 years in journalism, the Minnesota Rebellion. And I hope you will read the column not only from my situation, but because I'm able to spell out and you can reread it and file it and keep it. Okay. But I'm going to go over everything tonight and I'm going to tell you the truth. And I don't care if you don't like the truth or you don't want to hear the truth. You don't want to hear it. Blast me off right now because I'm coming right at you. This is a disgrace, what is happening there in Minnesota. There is no excuse for this and there are remedies to this situation. And here we go. You got an open rebellion. You got a governor of state. Walz is basically saying we're not only not obeying immigration law, stated law passed by Congress, but we're not going to protect the federal agents assigned to enforce the federal law. So Minnesota state police and local police are not even going to protect you. Has there ever been a more disgraceful governor, maybe down south? George Wallace, that's Walsh. He writes an article in a Wall Street Journal today saying, oh, no, you got it all wrong. You got it all wrong. No, no, no, we cooperate with ice. That is a lie. That governor has ordered his police to stand down and not protect federal agents. If Minnesota authorities stood shoulder to shoulder with federal authorities, no one would be dead. And the legitimate protests, and they are legitimate, you don't like ice, okay, but those protesters would be protected. But no, Walsh won't do it Now, I'm not even going to bother with Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis. I'll get to him tomorrow. He's a punk, that's what he is. And I'll prove it to you tomorrow. But I don't even bother with that tonight. But if I'm sitting in Washington, if I'm the president, or if I'm the head of the Justice Department, I'm looking at walls. Why? Listen to this. There is a law against rebellion in the United states. It is 18 USC code 2383. It is a federal crime to incite, assist, or engage in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or its laws. Here's the actual wording. Quote. Weber. Incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort there too, should be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years or both, and shall be incapable of holding office under the United States. That is the law. So where are you, Cash Patel? Where are you? The FBI chief? Where? What's your plan? Nobody's going to believe ICE investigating ICE or Border Patrol investigating Border Patrol. They won't even believe the FBI. I know that. But this is a law on the books. What are you doing about it? You know what he's doing? He's waiting to be told what to do. That's what Patel is doing. You got to get it in gear, man. This has got to get under control now. Now, today, President Trump and Walls spoke. Excellent. Detente has to be reached. Temperatures down, violence stopped. But the investigation into what is happening in Minnesota has to be transparent. What Patel should do is get his best investigators into a squad, bring them in and look and examine the political people in Minnesota and the law enforcement people. Okay, enough. You can't do the job. Cash out. Get somebody who can. Okay? This all began because of President Biden. He's the source of the problem. Probably the most corrupt president as far as enforcing federal law in our history. Okay, Biden. Let everybody in. We are all paying the consequences. Two people with their lives. Starts with Biden, but then the Democratic Party, the entire party, embraced the Biden madness. And that led to walls and fry in Minnesota. Big fu. Federal government. Big fu. President Trump. No, we elected President Trump. He won. He's the president. He's the leader. You hate him, fine. You don't defy federal law and get people killed. Now, the Democratic Party has got got to stop. Okay? You got to stop playing games here. You got to unite With President Trump, the Republican Party stamp it down. Now this is a crisis. Not only a crisis of violence, but a constitutional crisis. We can't have anarchy and insurrection. Do we all understand that? Okay, now at this point, we have to start condemning people for their activities. Not. Well, I understand you've got a media that stokes the violence. Wants the violence, in my opinion. Roll the tape.
C
So this cycle of fear and lack of experience leading to this 37 year old ICU nurse who was clearly trying.
A
To help someone else.
C
You can clearly see it in the.
A
Video, getting as many would argue, murdered by ice. And frankly, you know, I don't know what you're investigating if you're not investigating the straight up murder, the straight cross murder, this is the second one. Well, thanks for due process, right, Disney? I don't hold her responsible. You know what you got out there, you know what you're putting on the air every day? Disney Iger, Burbank, California theme parks. You know what you're doing and you do it anyway. I don't blame her. That's who she is. Same thing with Ms. Or whatever the hell it is. But the worst is Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. I used to respect Kelly. Listen to this. Hey, everybody, it's Senator Mark Kelly. Hey, I watched that video in Minneapolis today. Probably watched it a dozen times. Pretty obvious that this man was shot dead in the street for no reason. I want to encourage people to believe what they see. Don't let anybody, don't let this White House tell you it is something else. Loathsome. Loathsome. Denial of due process. Okay? Just like the other. Okay? And this guy knows better. So I don't know what you do. You people in Arizona, I mean, you're hearing this. Does this do any good at all? No, he's inciting it. Now. The man himself who was killed, the nurse, 37 years old, we traced him. Far left. Guy doesn't have any history of criminality. Like the woman who was killed. The first one. The man shows up in an area where ICE agents were, are conducting raids, arrests. Okay? He's armed, got a gun on him. He gets in a physical confrontation with federal agents, he's not some kind of innocent little Bo Peep. This guy, and I hate to say this, he's dead and he should be mourned. Nobody should be happy about that. And his family should be respected. But this guy brought upon his own demise. That's what he did. Think about it. Step back for a second. You know, there's violence. One woman already dead. You show up with a concealed weapon even if you have a permit to carry. What the deuce difference does that make? Well, the holidays have come and gone once again. But if you've forgotten to get that special someone in your life a gift, well, Mint Mobile is extending their holiday offer of half off unlimited wireless.

That you're injecting yourself into a situation that is volatile. Now, the Border Patrol agent who shot him may have made a mistake, may have even committed a crime. That's due process. But the victim walked into his own death. That's the truth. And I again, I hate to say that you're also hearing about ICE not having the authority to detain migrants. That is a lie. Here is the statute once again. And this comes from an article in the Wall Street Journal, quote, illegal aliens, however, do not have the same rights as Americans. Under federal immigration law, officers may issue administrative warrant, which means that the probable cause finding is made by an executive branch officer rather than a judicial officer, a judge. This is consistent with broad judicial recognition that illegal aliens are not entitled to the same Fourth Amendment protections a US Citizen is. It is also consistent with the Supreme Court's admonition that the touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is whether the search or seizure is reasonable, not whether it is supported by a judicial warrant. In Able v. U. S. 1960, the justices of the Supreme Court recognize that there is overwhelming historical legislative recognition of the propriety of administrative arrests for deportable aliens. All right, that is the law. ICE is not disobeying the law. And how Many times have you heard that? That's a 1960 ruling. It has not been updated, not been re litigated. So now you have elected officials who are saying, oh, what ISIS doing is illegal. It's a lie. Finally, here's the most important part of this story. The anti American cadres who want to overthrow this government, and they're out there now, are using Minnesota. Okay? This group is led by a man named Neville Roy Singham. He is a communist living in Shanghai, China. Is an organization called Breakthrough News registered in the usa. Again, the main man's name is Neville Roy Singham. He's behind pushing all of these confrontations. He is using these organizations in the United States to do it. The Party for Socialism and Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, Freedom Road, Socialist Organization, Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, Black Lives Matter chapters. They are all trying to overthrow the government of the United States. Have you heard that anywhere? Anybody report that to you? Absolute fact. They have millions of dollars. They are pumping all kinds of stuff into Minneapolis to agitate the. This is not organic, these protests. Nobody understands what's really going on. Media will not report it. I will. And that's the memo. I got to tell you how angry I am. I. I'm going to ask President Trump to watch that memo himself today. I think he will. He watches us pretty much every day. But he's got to stop now. Chrissy Gnome Homeland SECURITY Director Got to restrain yourself, madam. You can't be doing what you're doing. You're inciting as well. Wait till the facts come out. So Ms. Noem says that 10,000 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested or detained in Minneapolis. I believe that is an exaggeration. Federal government has to get its facts straight. Has to. Because the more credibility the feds lose, the more of this kind of violence you're going to see. All right, we got a good guest. I've known him for a long time. His name is Art Del Cueto comes to us in Tucson, Arizona this evening. Unbelievable resume. Used to be the former spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council. He's now the Security Advisor for the Federation for Immigration Immigrant Reform. And as I said, he's in Tucson. All right. Americans don't know the difference between Border Patrol, which shot the man on Saturday, and ice. What's the difference?
B
You know, honestly, there's people in the media that don't know the difference. That they continue to put pictures out of Border Patrol when ICE does something, or pictures of ICE when Border Patrol does something. Border Patrol patrols in between the ports of entry that's what they've done for many, many years. But they also get detailed to other agencies. I myself have been detailed to other agencies all the time when they need assistance, especially within dhs. So you'll have agents that, you know, they'll be detailed out to the ofo, which is the individuals that work at the ports of entry themselves. That's customs and the immigration side. And then you have ICE that deal with the interior. A lot of what they've worked throughout the years is working transport and working in the prisons where these individuals are detained before they're deported. So you're dealing with a bunch of different factors, but because of the mess that the last administration created, you're having to have an all hands on deck approach. And a lot of it is moving border patrol agents out there in these areas and these urban areas as well and the cities to be able to assist ICE with their operations.
A
All right, so they're basically. They have the power, as we just said, legally, to execute warrants by their superiors, but they're assisting ice, so they're working together to find criminal aliens and other people who shouldn't be here. That's what they're doing. Okay, all right. That's very important for understanding. Now you yourself, Art, because you are in a factory. We go back, you respond to scores of violent conflicts. All right, When a videotape is taken with the woman in the car now with the man with the cell phone who had a gun inside. All right, his jacket fully loaded. All right, now we have. Well, let's make the verdict on television.
B
Right, and that's the problem, Bill. Look, there's been so many people that have talked about these different incidents. I responded to well over 90% of, of all the use of force incidents in Tucson sector. I've responded to shootings, to, you know, numerous amounts of use of force. I was next to agents numerous times when they would get indicted and they were tried for crimes within the state, even though they were cleared by the federal government. That's very important. They were cleared of any wrongdoing, but the state came after them anyways. And, and I sat in those courtrooms and listened to all the back and forth from the attorneys. I assisted some of the attorneys that were defending some of the agents. And that's going to be the biggest problem at this point. Where do you find a jury that hasn't heard about these cases?
A
No, but that's just one point. I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is clearly in Minnesota, ICE and the border patrol have not been de. Escalated it.
B
Absolutely. And it's because they haven't had any assistant Bill. You have to have assistance from the local authorities.
A
We know who the bad guys are. But when you're on the ground and you have this volatile situation and you draw your weapon.
C
Did you know you can save up to 70% on the best brands just by shopping at. From rebel.com we're talking about strollers, car seats, high chairs, espresso machines. Cook everything you need for way less. Here's how it works. Every single day, rebbl drops thousands of new products on the site for up to 70% off. It is a constant stream of endless deals from top brands like Uppababy, Nuna, Baby bjorn, Breville, Nespresso, KitchenAid, Le Creuset and more. But you have to act fast because every deal is one of a kind. So if you see something you love, make sure you add to cart fast. So stop paying full price when you don't have to. Whether it's baby gear, kitchen upgrades, or a treasure for your home you didn't know you needed. Rebel has it for way less. Up to 70% less. Shop from rebel.com and save big.
A
There has got to be some kind of guidance. You just can't be shooting all over the place, Art.
B
No, no, and I agree with you. Look, I worked that field many times. I was out in the desert when I was tracking drug smugglers. My gun was never holstered. My gun was always outside. Now, obviously, you have to have trigger discipline and you keep your fingers off the trigger and everything like that, but there's things that can come out and spook you. Luckily, you know, I wasn't put in that situation where I pulled the trigger. But we need to go through the investigation.
A
No, wait.
B
And see what the investigation draws.
A
But they're also.
B
Now they're not doing that.
A
But there's a defiance on the part of Homeland Security nomen. They're acting defiant, which is polarizing the whole country. Now, you got to stick up for your guys. You have to because you're not going to have any guys.
B
I'm retired now, Bill. So I'm just telling you the way it is.
A
No, I know, but that's why I'm calling for the FBI to have a special elite unit to go in and look at this. And again, I know. Walls and fry. No matter what the FBI said, not gonna believe them. But I want it as an American citizen.
B
Look, on these types of shootings, the people that will take over the Investigation is the office of inspector general. So the office of inspector general are the ones that are gonna get involved and they're the ones that are gonna see the shooting.
A
Okay. But the actual facts on the ground have to be accumulated before the inspector general.
B
And how do you accumulate those facts when you got rioters that completely disturbed undercover FBI people?
A
You got to send lead FBI investigators.
B
I agree, but the scene where it occurred has already been damaged because people were all over the place. So that scene was already damaged.
A
They do the best they can do, right?
B
So they should have deployed state and local authorities immediately. Once I saw these individual individuals that were protesting and they started moving the trash cans and blocking the streets, I knew right away it's lost. So before I went to the border patrol, I worked for the state prison for a long time. And when I was in the state prison, they teach you even more tactics on how to be able to handle these types of crowds and this hostility and riot situations. And that's part of the problem. If they would have had more local authorities in the unseen, they would have been able to avoid some of this. Now we can Monday morning quarterback.
A
Now look, but that's, that's the primary forward. The primary point I made was Walls by telling his authorities not to cooperate with ice, not to protect ice, not even to protect him. That's almost insurrection. And the FBI should be looking at him.
B
And you know what, Bill, from talking to agents, you know where else it happened? It happened in Los Angeles when they were out there and it happened in Chicago when they were out there. Absolutely nobody wanted to talk about it.
A
And it's being fueled by this far left agitators. You, a guy in Shanghai, China orchestrating this whole thing.
B
And it's going to happen in Arizona next when they start doing any type of tactical enforcement here, because you heard Senator Kelly already pushing those buttons because they want that to happen.
A
Yeah. What's up with him? You know him. What's up with this guy?
B
Last time I talked to him, he refused to shake my hand several years ago. But look, that's part of the problem that we're seeing across the country is that we have these individuals in leadership positions that are perfectly comfortable doing their press conferences and telling people do not obey that we will not comply. I have videos on my social media where I have leadership from Tucson, the city of Tucson, where they've said we will not obey, we will not comply. Those were their specific.
A
And I want to give you a plug for that. It's five strands with Art del Cueto that's DL C U E T O on YouTube. People can see those.
B
I have it on Instagram. I have it everywhere. They need to see that.
A
All right, all right. I may have to come out there and get one of your hats. And I appreciate it. I just hope.
B
Well, let me just add. Yeah, look, I know Kristi Noem personally and she has done what many others have not done and we'll hear back and forth on it. And I think we need to start looking into who are these leaks within the agency that have bad mouthed her. We need to start looking and seeing, you know, who has been giving her information that perhaps not be correct in order to put her in a spot to, to look bad. She has accomplished, along with President Trump to secure the border like nobody else has.
A
That's absolutely true.
B
And they all need to get along with this instead of pointing the finger. But I was an agent for many years and I can tell you when egos get in the way, there may be some people still within the agency that instead of agreeing that she's doing a good job, they may be a little upset because they're not the ones that, that are in that position of leadership or maybe when they were in those positions, they weren't able to get the job done. Kristi Noem, President Trump and Tom Holman and Chief Mike Banks is doing a fantastic job.
A
All right, all right, thanks very much. We appreciate it. We'll talk again soon, I hope. And it's clear that no matter what the facts are, that Minnesota isn't going to change. Listen to this woman. Her name is State Representative Kayla Berg Rolat.
C
It's like a tale of two press conferences. The one with our Minneapolis leaders and our congressional delegation full of of humanity calling for peaceful protest, keeping each other safe. The other asking us to disbelieve what we have seen with our own eyes. Enough is enough. Minnesota can investigate what happens in Minnesota. ICE needs to leave now and our communities need to become safe once again.
A
Your communities aren't safe. They burn a police order down on George Floyd. You're a moron. You're irresponsible. You should quit today. Minnesota can investigate what happens in Minnesota. Did you miss the billion dollar grift, Madam?

SpecialOffer now, this is affecting everyone. Why? Because they had a deal, a government spending deal to extend, and now the Democrats are backing out of it because of the shooting in Minnesota. So it was a $1.2 trillion government funding package. Passed the House. 220. 207. All right. Was on her way to the Senate allocating $65 billion to the Department of Homeland Security. Now Schumer and the Democrats go, oh, no, no, we don't want to do that. We shut the government down again. See, we all suffer. Senator Klobuchar from Minnesota. She's going to run for governor because Walls is so incompetent. Wallace couldn't, so he quit. She's in. She doesn't want to be governor of Minnesota. She wants to be president of the United States. And that is what this is all about. So expect Senator Klobuchar, who is not an unreasonable person. Kelly is ridiculous. Klobuchar is not unreasonable. She'll run for president. And so will Gavin Newsom, who shows up in Davos last week. And I'm not even going to play you the sound bite, but he tried to undermine a president of the United States in Switzerland. That's what Governor Newsom did. Unbelievable. He's. He's in Klobuchar. Is it, as predicted, Greenland. I told you with this, I talked extensively with the president about it is going to work out. Roll tape. Now, I fully expect them to work out some kind of deal because if the United States invades Greenland with troops, which is. I can't imagine that that would ever happen. I said that to President Trump. So now we're going to get the deal. We need military bases in Greenland and mineral rights there. The Greenlanders, all 50,000 of them, will be much better off. Denmark doesn't need Greenland. And it'll all work out, but it should not have risen to this historical level. I should be ambassador without portfolio. I'm telling you, I could defuse this stuff. All right, we got a final thought about me, which I hate to do, but got to do it. Back in a moment. All right, here we go. So I had to tell everybody in a short message that I wasn't going to be on air last week. So I just said I had a medical malady, but I'm fighting off. And then took me by surprise. I was almost speechless about the reaction 90% of it favorable and, you know, concerned people concerned. My kids were inundated. Everybody, my friends, it was thousands and thousands everywhere now. The haters were out short and I'll take care of them, but overwhelming as well, around the world. So I'm sitting there and I had to say it because I don't have a substitute anchor. I'm the product. If I'm, if I disappear for a week, you got to know why. I was looking for sympathy. All right? I'm going out on my shield. I'll be here as long as I can be here about whining, this is life. And that's why if you read the column, I explain the philosophy that I, that I'm bringing. But I got a email from a high school student who I taught 55 years ago. She's obviously not a student any longer. She's a very accomplished doctor in Florida. And this, I'm almost speechless. I'm going to read it to you, okay? Quote, bill, you have all the good thoughts and prayers from your former students. None of us will ever forget how you cared about us and pushed us to do our best. We are always here for you. And I taught this lady 55 years ago. And I, you know, so all you teachers out there and doctors and nurses and everybody who cares for other people, and that's what teachers do. Law enforcement, you know, they remember. I was only 22 years old when I began teaching high school. And I wanted to use all my skills at that time to help those kids, many of whom needed help. This was a ghetto school. Opelaka, Florida. Okay, you don't want to go vacation there. So I got it. I, I, I. It took me about an hour or two to think about that because there are some things in life that come in that you don't expect, I never expect than that. And then you got to process it. It's not that I'm some hero or something. I'm not trying to put it up like that. I'm just trying to say that all you do, all the good you do you, all the good you do on this earth comes back to you. So we're here, and we're going to carry on long as we can. And I'm not going to sugarcoat anything. I'll tell you the truth about it, right? In fact, I'm gonna up it, okay? And I've had it. And these dishonest press people, these politicians who are hurting you, I'm naming them, I'm calling them out. That's what we're gonna do here, so I'm gonna get a little rougher. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin news all across the world. See you tomorrow.
