Bill O'Reilly
Here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Thursday, July 17, 2025 stand up for your country lot to tell you about today, including an inside story that I think will get your attention. So my news agency based@billorilly.com is perhaps the most successful independent news agency in the world. And we've been doing this for eight years. We were profitable on day one because a lot of my audience on Fox followed me into the other projects that we did. So you can see us all over the place. The first TV has us. We are on cable TV places, we are on satellite tv. We are on the radio. In fact, Talker's magazine selected me as one of the top radio guys in the country. And I don't even do a daily show. I do commentary on the radio. But wabc, our flagship in New York City, carries me throughout the day. So we have a lot going on and we do very, very well financially and our influence has exploded. This is very interesting because of YouTube. All right, so I'm not a social media guy, but I got good people who know that world and we began on YouTube in earnest a few months ago. We got more than a million subscribers on the billoreilly.com YouTube channel. It's YouTube.com Bill O'Reilly. It just exploded. Anyway, all of that has made us powerful, but it also puts a very big burden on me to turn out an enormous amount of news analysis every day, which we do. And we don't rely on cliches. We're not ideological. We go in and you'll see tonight, we have stories tonight you have not heard. So we are very, we work very hard to bring you news that affects you directly. And we are successful. So with success always comes a downside. When I was at Fox, I became the most powerful broadcaster in the world with the O'Reilly Factor. Well, every day I had to deal with the gutter snipes and the people, the defamers and the attackers. They attacked my family, they attacked me. I had to have armed security. It was really bad. It's starting to happen again. Okay. And I'll give you a couple of examples. It's not at that level yet, but I can see it rising. And that's again, because we are becoming so powerful. All right, so this week I had an enormous amount of work to do. So on News Nation, twice on Hannity Radio were on my radio. It's like a boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I made a mistake on Leland Vetter, News Nation Monday night, I got the timeline wrong for the Epstein prosecution in 2019. My mistake. 100%, my mistake. My research was fine. I just didn't state the timeline correctly. Now, remember, I don't use a teleprompter. I give you 42 minutes a day right off the top of my head with notes. No teleprompter. I'll submit to you. There isn't one other television broadcaster in the country who could do that. No one. I'm sorry, I'm bragging. But if there is, I want to do the challenge. So sometimes I'm going to make verbal mistakes. It's just going to inevitably happen. Human beings do that. So I corrected. Leland Vitterd actually corrected me and I said, okay, I stand corrected. And then I went on with my analysis, which is absolutely 100% right on that. The Democrats had the Epstein information for four years and you didn't hear anything out of any of them? Not a word. But now they're hysterical about Epstein. I mean, come on, you know, five year old gets it. Then last night on Cuomo, I called Congressman Ro Khanna Mo Rocco, who's a media guy, okay, again, dopey mistake, slip of the tongue. And Cuomo was actually gentle. He just corrected me. And I said, I said, well, they're both Italian, which they aren't. But, you know, it was jocular. Oh, I wake up this morning and it's all over. I'm Joe Biden now. I'm Joe Biden. Okay, so I'm losing it now. All of this is designed, absolutely designed by the far left gutter snipes to denigrate me. There's no other reason to do it. I mean people make mistakes on television, radio all the time, verbal mistakes. And so I read it and I didn't get really angry about 10 years ago I would have, but I went, this is actually a compliment because these people fear us now. But one name jumped out at me. His name is John Harwood. We'll put him up on the screen. So he's a journalist and he worked for cnn very short time at cnn. They booted him for some reason, I don't know why. For that he was at CNBC and the Wall Street Journal. Harwood now got a job at Duke University teaching young minds. He's an ardent leftist. Harwood. So he jumped on this let's Muir O'Reilly bandwagon and then we invited him on the program. So if I'm Joe Biden, I mean John Harwood got an opportunity to go one on one with me. Let me have it. Let me have it, John. You think he's going to come on program? He was a coward. They're all cowards. All these gutter snipes, smear merchants, they're all cowards. Never face me. So if I'm. You should be able to come on and make me look like Joe Biden, right? Uh huh. Now you think I'm making a big deal out of this? Some people might and say, oh well Riley, you're two cents. This is an industry that you should know about. If a traditional conservative broadcaster gets too powerful, you're coming for him or her. It's not the same on the left. There are gutter snipes on the right that do that. But it's not nearly as well organized or funded. So just keep that in mind that you would like to know that. All right. And Harwood is, you know, if I'm mean or unfair. Bye John. Ready to go? Anytime. We'll do it live. As someone once said, 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. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

Bill O'Reilly
Talking Points Memo Epstein Hysteria. That's what it is. But here's something really interesting. The ratings, television ratings for the cable news operations, primetime, way down. Even on the left wingers, even cnn, msnbc, way down. Fox took it really on a chin Tuesday night. They're not watching it. Americans aren't watching the story. I thought we get some traction. No. Now I understand why the Trump people, the MAGA people don't want to hear it. But the left should be like salvating, right? Because this is now used as a cudgel against President Trump. So my job is to not to be hysterical. And I'm not. And I don't even like the story. I've explained it and explained it and explained it. I'm going to do one more time, in a moment, one more time. And then my explanation is in stone. If you're a premium or concierge member on billorilly.com you can get a transcript, put it on a wall, do whatever you want. All right, here's what I said on Cuomo last night. Go. All of this could be put to bed in half an hour where Pam Bondi gets out there with Merrick Garland who probably wouldn't show up. And if he did, he'd take the Fifth as all the Democrats are doing now in the House hearings about Joe Biden. But you can put a chair and Merrick Garland's picture tape it to the chair. And then Bondi says, here's what we found out in a general way. I'm not giving names because at this point there's nobody under criminal investigation. And so it's not fair. So no names. But here's what we found out and that should happen. That puts it all to bed. I mean the conspiracy people are going to run wild because that's what they do. Social media conspiracy people. It's been there forever. It's a moneymaker for that. But unless there is a criminal referral, that's how they describe it in the Justice Department, then you can't put out names associated with Epstein. I mean, it's wrong. You destroy people. Criminal referral. You can't. Now, Feds have had a long enough time to investigate this. They should know everything that happened here. Remember, Epstein was. His island was in the U.S. virgin Islands, I believe. It's U.S. territory. So that's my recommendation. I know President Trump has heard it. Whether he decides to do it or not, it's up to him. But the hysteria is real and it's generated on social media. House Oversight Committee investigating the Biden White House, as it should. So you'll remember that last week, Biden's doctor, Kevin o' Connor wouldn't testify, took the Fifth Amendment. Okay, so the doctor's worried that he did something wrong. I guess he doesn't want to answer any questions. And then yesterday, a guy named Anthony Bernal ber nal, who is a former chief of staff to Jill Biden, he took the Fifth, too. And here's what committee chairman James Comer said.
- [13:03]
Ryan Reynolds
You're going to see a lot of these executive orders and pardons end up in a court of law because this whole process stinks to high heaven. It's not the way it's supposed to work. Joe Biden's already incriminated himself in that interview. These staffers have an opportunity to answer simple questions, and they're pleading the Fifth.
- [13:23]
Bill O'Reilly
So we're going to keep pressing forward.
- [13:24]
Ryan Reynolds
And hopefully we'll get some answers soon.
- [13:27]
Bill O'Reilly
You're not going to get any answers, Congressman. And then where does it go? It goes to the Justice Department, Pam Bondi, because Congress can't indict anybody. They can do contempt. All right, so they should subpoena Jill Biden, first lady. And if she doesn't show up, they could do a bunch of things. I think there might be executive privilege in that. Certainly they wouldn't want Joe Biden there. And it'll be a big court thing about it. But then you got Corrine Jean Pierre. She's not going to say anything. You got Ron Klain, you got Ian Sams, Andrew Bates, Jeff Zinz, all these people who were actually running the Biden White House because President Biden wasn't running anything. Nothing. Okay? And that was fine with the Democratic Party. They had no beef on that at all. And therein lies the scandal. Remember, I was on Cuomo a few weeks ago And Cuomo, a Democrat, he said, I don't really care whether Joe Biden was physically or mentally unable to perform. Okay. I was surprised. You don't care. You don't want to know. You elect this man to run the country, and he can't run it. That was a really interesting debate, but now it's tough. Criminal charges are not going to be easy here, but we are on the case because it is a very important historical story. You cannot have an incapacitated president. Can't. Woodrow Wilson, you read Confronting the Presidents. He's out of it. Okay. Grover Cleveland, out of it. And now Joe Biden. Okay. Donald Trump has a big, beautiful feud with his pal Adam Schiff, the senator from California. Schiff hates Trump and vice versa. Okay. A lot of bad blood there. It's kind of like Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. So apparently Schiff has said that his primary residence is in Maryland, but it can't be by law. It has to be in California. So the President went on social media and said this, quote, I've always suspected shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. Now I learned of Fannie Mae's Financial Crimes Division has concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in the same pattern of possible mortgage fraud. Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in Maryland to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America when he must live in California because he was a congressman from California. I always knew Schiff was a crook, unquote. So Schiff was a congressman and then ran for Senate. Now he's got that seat. Now Schiff says, quote, is this Donald Trump's latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies? Okay, again, Schiff did it. There's no doubt he did it, but is anything going to happen? So New York Attorney General Letitia James did the same thing, claimed a residence in the Commonwealth of Virginia as her primary living place. It's not New York. She's a New York Attorney General. So this has been referred to the Justice Department to investigate. Do you think anything's going to happen here to James or Schiff? It's not so much corruption, but it's like, we don't want to be embarrassed if we bring the case and we lose. That's what it is. And these cases, you know, with a jury, they're not slam dunks. If I had to bet, they're not going to be brought into court, James or Schiff. But I absolutely could be wrong. But they did it.

Bill O'Reilly
Trump tariffs. Remember the screaming, the hysteria wasn't at the Epstein level, But okay, so April 2, 2025, right? Liberation Day. Donald Trump charging 10% to everybody to sell stuff in America. That's what it was. Strip it all down. You want our markets, you got to pay 10% to our government admission fee cover charge. So right now, over a three month period, that's how they do the quarters. The tariffs that Trump put in are bringing in $70 million a day. Whoa. But that's below what some expectations were. I don't care. What I do care about is 70 million a day where it's going to go. Because you know, that's a lot of jack every day coming into the US Treasury. So the Treasury Department being coy, coy, it goes into the general affairs budget, which means could be used anywhere. But why isn't it being used to pay down the debt, right? Is that hard? So the Trump administration to say, okay, we're going to do the tariffs, we're making a lot of money. And 75% of the money that's fair goes to get the debt down. So the American people go, good, we like the tariffs now, but we don't know. We call, we call the Treasury Department and nobody would pick up. I guess they knew it was us. But tariffs raise a lot of money in total since Liberation Day, $64 billion in a treasury. Okay. That wasn't there. Biden had no tariffs. I mean, all right, NPR and pbs. So yesterday the Senate said no more money tax money to them. And in 25 fiscal year, that means 535 million into the Public Broadcasting Corporation isn't going there. A lot of jack, a lot of money. And the reason is that it's a liberal, progressive Democratic machine, both PBS and npr. And it's indisputable. And I'll prove it again tonight. I proved it yesterday. I proved it a million times. I'll prove it again. So why would conservative Americans be forced to pay into that? Why? It's not fair. It's not right. Okay, so it was a little bit of a brawl. The Democrats, of course, didn't want to defund it because those operations favored the Democratic Party. It wasn't one Democrat who peeled off Murkowski, who's not really a Republican in Alaska, and Collins, who's not really a Republican in Maine. They voted against this. Our pal Mitch McConnell changed his vote in the Senate to defund. All right, so that money is out. New York Times, very progressive. Everybody knows it is what they said. Quote, we are reminded of the excesses of the Defund the police and abolish ice movements. On the other side of the ideological spectrum, they adopted a fatalistic view of vital government services, suggesting that. That their imperfections justify their elimination. They were wrong. And so are the conservatives who want to defund public media. Very clever. New York Times editorial board using the defund the police to compare it. But there's no comparison at all. Defund the police. Public safety and PR and PBS don't matter directly to anybody. Okay, but be that as it may, the president of pbs. Okay, Paula Kerger, here's what she said. Go.
- [23:02]
Sean Spicer
But when I look at the range.
- [23:03]
Ryan Reynolds
Of our programmings on public broadcasting, I.
- [23:06]
Sean Spicer
Can'T make any sense of an argument.
- [23:09]
Ryan Reynolds
That we are somehow biased in any way.
- [23:12]
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, boy. Lady, come on. So, as we reported yesterday, Frontline, their main documentary unit, did a thing this week that Donald Trump was a fascist and he was going after everybody. And it was an hour and 20 minutes. They used four pro Trump guests and 19 anti Trump guests in the hour and 20 minutes. But Paula somehow thinks that's not biased. Oh, no. Now, they could have called me PBS. I would have explained it very. 4, 19. Come on, Paula. You know, I don't want to call you a liar, but really now, one guy who doesn't like this is a guy that I think is very skilled and does contribute positively to America. His name is Ken Burns. Roll the tape.
- [24:10]
Ryan Reynolds
I couldn't have made Anderson any of the films. I've made nearly 40 films over the course of the last 45 years. Any other place but PBS. And it's not because I couldn't go ra the money to do it elsewhere. I could with the kind of reputation that I've developed. It's just that they wouldn't give me the time to be able to explore these subjects.
- [24:31]
Bill O'Reilly
Ken, your time is not going to be impacted. All this is is a cutback of money. They're not going off the air. PBS and npr, they got their fundraisers every hour on the hour. Ken, they'll have private money going in. You'll be able to produce your documentaries, most of which are pretty good, in my opinion. This isn't shutting you out. Shutting you down isn't aborting anything. And if a worry, go to the History Channel and go to Discovery. You can go all over the place CNN and take you stop 10 this is public money that can be better used on behalf of the American people elsewhere. That is the truth. Nancy Pelosi's back. So she goes on Sirius xm, which I like. I like that. Serious Operation Mornings with Zerlina. I don't know who Zerlina is, but I'm sure she does a fine program. Here's what Nancy Pelosi says about Donald Trump's power. Go.
- [25:48]
Ryan Reynolds
Hardly anybody is speaking out because everybody's afraid. And there's real justification for fear because Trump is just ruthless in how he's going after those who do not agree with him.
- [26:04]
Bill O'Reilly
That's true. The President can be very ruthless. But you, lady, match him. You were the most feared speaker of the House in modern history. You threatened Democratic congresspeople with withholding funds for their reelection and even primary some of them if they didn't vote your way. That's what you did. And you have the gall to say, oh, he feared you. Now, Zerlina didn't quite understand, I guess, how pretty intense Nancy Pelosi is and was. Pelosi, she was speaker of the house from 27 to 11 and 219 to 223. A long time. The only politician that rivals Nancy Pelosi in fierceness in Congress was Lyndon Johnson in the Senate, he was unreal. Pelosi was more fierce than Newt Gingrich because Gingrich was fair. The injured will listen. Pelosi is my way or you're out. But again, these people. All right, listen to this story. So for years I've been telling you that many of these demonstrations against Trump and Republicans and things are funded by far left people. George Soros is the top name. Everybody knows that. But I did not know there is an actual group in business to do this. And the group is called Crowds on Demand. I didn't even know this existed until today. Crowds on Demand. That group pays protesters to go out and disrupt or do whatever. News Nation, which I think is the best news agency in the country now, not only because they hired me, but they break stories. NewsNation reported this two days ago. Roll the tape. Have the organizers of the July 17th demonstrations approached you?
- [28:49]
Ryan Reynolds
Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17th movement have approached us. And in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million. $20 million, correct. I mean, this is a nationwide thing, right? It's not to say I would have made $20 million personally, but the value of the contract would have been worth around that amount nationwide to organize huge demonstrations around the country. But personally, I just don't think it's effective. So it's not. I'm not trying to call myself virtuous for rejecting it. What I'm saying is, I'm saying I'm rejecting it not because I don't want to take the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective. It's going to make us all look bad.
- [29:39]
Bill O'Reilly
So that guy takes big money to organize protesters to go out and disrupt. Okay, do we all have it now? Where does he get the $20 million? Who comes to him with that contract? Far left. Political action committees. There are literally hundreds of them. The pipeline is big money. Guys like Soros give money to political action committees that they know will do what they want. And the political action committees then get in touch with Brian. No, Adam Swart, SW A R T. So you just saw Adam Swart, Brian Enten was reporter, and said, look, here's the contract. You go disrupt this, you do that and they take the money and they hire people, professionals to go in and disrupt. That's what's happening. Do you ever hear that story? Did you ever hear of Crowds on Demand? Have you? I think I know what I'm doing and I never heard of them. This is big. Congress should be looking into this because this is an organic protest. Now, today is July 17th. I haven't heard any demonstrations at all. But they wanted them to happen, but they didn't work out quite a story. The Crowds on Demand, just so you know, is based in Los Angeles. You know, it operates in San Francisco, Vegas, New York City, D.C. new Hampshire and Iowa. And it provides clients with hired actors to pose as fans, paparazzi, unpaid protesters, and professional paid protesters. Okay? It's an industry. Smart life. Americans very anxious about money. Now I know. I get the letters in the concierge arena almost every hour on the hour. 69%, according to a Harris poll, say that financial uncertainty has made them feel depressed and anxious. 63% say money worries keep them up at night. 40% say financial worries have made them ill, physically ill. Okay? I believe it. Because Americans in school, when they're urchins are not being told the real value of money and what you have to do to grow your money to protect your money. You don't have money in America. You're living paycheck to paycheck or you're a senior citizen living on Social Security or whatever it is. You have no power at all. People can kick you in the mouth. You can't do a thing. All right? The only way to protect yourself is to build up money. Now, if you got to work two jobs. I did. I paid for my higher education, okay? I worked my butt off and I took my father's advice. I saved 10% of all take home from the time I was 12 years old. So I didn't even need to be successful. I had a nice war chest already when I was just working my way up. Because I'm thrifty. Some say parsimonious. Not me. I give a millions of dollars to charity. Millions, okay? But I protected myself. Now, if you're in a bad circumstance, you can drive an Uber. You can cut back on expenses, you can refinance your mortgage and then sell a home, buy a smaller home, cut your expenses down. There are a million things you can do. Get out of debt. Do not run up debt. Okay? This is smart life in America. This is not Sweden. Here. Trump versus Mexico. So the president says he's going to put 25% tariff on all Mexican goods, which will wreck their economy, send them into a depression. Why? Because Mexico won't stop the cartels. The fentanyl won't cooperate, and as a result, Mexico itself is the most violent country in the Western hemisphere. Thousands and thousands of murders, totally out of control. So what does the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, think about all this? She blames us for the cartels. Go.
- [34:09]
Sean Spicer
Madam President, what do you think about the fact that the United States government insists that Mexico needs to do more to combat fentanyl?
- [34:17]
Ryan Reynolds
Well, that's what we've been talking about in the meetings. We do our part and they also have to do their part. We've insisted on controlling the flow of weapons from the United States to Mexico, arresting people who are involved in drug trafficking in the United States.
- [34:34]
Bill O'Reilly
They're not doing their part. Okay. The cartels have bought thousands, probably tens of thousands of police, politicians, you name it. Cartels run the country. So they're not. And if I were Trump, I said this before, I'd use the US Military to wipe these people off the face of the earth. They are in confronting evil. We do right? Very. And you'll get an inside view of what these cartel leaders do. Take them out. The terrorists. The terrorists, they do not deserve to live. It's a military operation. President has the authority to do it. And for you, Claudia Sheinbaum, I have no respect for you at all. None. I don't know whether you're bought or not. Obra d'. Or. I don't know whether he was bought or not. He did nothing. Don't give me. We're doing our part, Stan. History. July 17, 2019. El Chapo, Mexican cartel leader sentenced to 30 years in New York City. That was six years ago. Chapo Guzman. He is in confronting evil. All right. He was arrested in 93, and he lived lavishly in a Mexican prison. Then he broke out in 21, and they finally caught him again. They couldn't adjudicate him in Mexico because it's so corrupt. They sent him here and he was charged with narcotics trafficking. Other crimes found him guilty in Brooklyn, I believe. And he was found guilty, 68 years old, sent to the supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, where he remains today. All right, final thought about lobster in a moment.

Bill O'Reilly
So this weekend, I'm going to try to get some lobster, because it's one of my favorite foods. I don't know why My mother loved it. And I've always loved lobster. You know, a little butter sauce with lemon and you know, you gotta crack it. I mean, I don't want to be wrestling with these lobsters. But the problem is that the restaurants and a lot of the fish stores, they jack the price up. So I call my people up in Massachusetts and Maine. I said, what's a lobster? No, we're getting plenty of lobsters. We got a big great season of lobsters. They're harvesting the lobsters all over the place. And but the prices are going up because people don't know what the supply chain is. And the restaurants go, okay, let me give you an example. Before the pandemic in Montauk, New York, big fish port, okay, a lobster roll, about 35 bucks. All right? In a restaurant where you sat down less if you wanted to take it out, about 35 now is double in many places. Double. But the lobster prices have come down. But they're not going to tell you that, okay? And if people like lobster, they want the lobster. Not me. I'll eat fluke, even though fluke's not cheap. But I'm not paying. I'll pay 25 bucks for a lobster roll. And I know the places to get them for 25 bucks. And you're good because they just put them in a little hot dog roll. It's not like they give me anything special, just a lobster cut up. So anyway, I'm gonna hunt down a lobster. I'll pay about 18 bucks a pound. Two pounder is the best. I'm gonna have a nice little dinner. And that's a key when you're under working hard and under stress. Reward yourself. Something like that. Okay. Hot fudge Sunday. You know, reward yourself. Don't overdo it. But if you like a nice steak or something like that, but you can get it if you're smart. It's like detective work. Don't pay 60 bucks for a lobster roll. Thank you for watching this edition of the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly News Sunday column on addiction, gambling and Internet. I'm going to write all about that and then we'll see you again on Monday.
