I don't know why anybody was surprised when Saturday morning the announcement came that US And Israel attacked Iran. Why would you be surprised? I mean, for weeks, President Trump was saying, look, we want to make a deal with these people. They got to stop their nuclear research and they have to downgrade their ballistic missile capacity. And if they don't, then we're going to have to force them to do that. How many times the man have to say that? And then, oh, it shows you how distracted many people on this planet and in this country are. They don't know what the deuce is happening and don't believe the polls. There's a bunch of polls out, snap polls after, oh, we're these people who are being queried, don't know anything. And then, you know, I hate to be supercilious about this word of the day, but they, you know, you're talking to people who have no idea about why things happen or even what's happening because they don't consume information. They live in a bubble, which is becoming an increasing problem for the world. And the totalitarians love that. The less you know, the more they like it. Okay, let's go to the Talking points memo about Iran. This is very important that you guys understand the big picture here. And again, if you disagree or want to know more, Bill O'Reilly.com bill@billow reilly.com Name in town, please. All right, so President Trump made brief remarks today, said that the military missions ahead of schedule. I don't know what that means. You know, I do know that the Pentagon, which is really in charge of the operation, President Trump's in charge, but the Pentagon's calling the shots, want to downgrade the ballistic missile situation whereby Iran would not be able to fire missiles at Israel or any of the Arab countries they don't like or anybody else. So that may take some time to locate all of those missiles and blow them up. In the meantime, the allies, and there's just two of them, Israel and the USA are after the people who are murdering the Iranian protesters, the people who want freedom. So they are being hunted. And I understand about 50 of them have already been eliminated, including the top mullah, as you know. Okay, they're all conferring with Allah even as we speak. Now, four Americans are dead in Kuwait. I spent some time in Kuwait in the first Gulf War, reporting huge base over there for the usa. Some things went wrong. But this isn't a concentrated effort on the Iranian part to kill American soldiers. I'm sure they'd like to. But they don't have the capacity to do it, which is pretty shocking if you think about it. I mean, here these mullahs threatening to blow up America and Israel, they can't even get a plane off the ground. I think they got one off, and Oman shot it out of the air. They don't have the capacity to wage this kind of war. They can build roadside bombs. They can blow up women and children. That's not hard. But to wage war against powerful military machines like the USA and Israel, they can't. That's important that you know that this is all blusters is all bs, okay? They cannot launch any effective resistance to what America is doing. Very important they can do is mobilize terrorism. And that is President Trump's biggest challenge, because you got a lot of people here who are sympathetic to the jihad. Thank you, Joe Biden. Okay, they're here. And one of them acted out in Austin, Texas. Two dead down there, a bunch wounded. The guy's dead. But it looks like this guy was tied into the jihad. Easy. From Senegal. Anyway, it's political now, as everything is. So you have. This is another important thing. The most important thing you understood, you have to understand today is Iran has no capacity to defend itself. And the United States is going to take full advantage of that and try to get a new regime in there. I don't know. Nobody knows whether that'll be successful or not. It's up to the Persian people. Second thing you need to know is the Democratic Party is going to oppose everything that Donald Trump does. It doesn't matter. He could. The cliche is cure cancer. They depose it. It's true. Now, Senator John Fetterman and a few Congress people, including my congressman here on Long Island, Tom Suozzi, they've supported the Iranian action, but by and large, the Democratic Party and their media enablers, the corporate media, will oppose everything that Donald Trump does. Now, it makes them look stupid, and we'll demonstrate that in a moment, but they don't really care about that. So tomorrow, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegsev, CIA Director Radcliffe, and General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, are going to brief House and Senate members about where we are. So that'll take place tomorrow in the late afternoon. And it's classified, so it'll leak, of course, because unfortunately, members of our Congress don't respect classified information anymore. But I don't expect anything big there. A very unexpected thing happened, though. Kamala Harris condemned the action. Roll it. Donald Trump has dragged us into a War the American people do not want.
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
He has put American troops in harm's way.
Bill O'Reilly
I unequivocally oppose.
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
Oppose this war of choice, and everyone should.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, now, just keep this in perspective. Now, this is important. Cyrus is entitled to her opinion. But as vice president, she sat on her butt for four years and watched as the Biden administration released billions of dollars to Iran that were frozen, money that was frozen because of sanctions. Biden released the money, gave it to the mullahs, and the mullahs turned around and financed Hezbollah, Hamas, October 7, the Houthis, and whatever other terror groups they could fund. That's what happened in the Biden Paris administration. She's never, ever answered for that. Won't. Can't. I don't even know if she knows it. I don't have much regard for Kamala Harris's intellect, but now she's condemning it. Okay, so you, lady, I'm sorry to be disrespectful, were vice president when an American administration for four years empowered mullahs in Iran to kill people, including Americans. That's what you did and said. Nothing. You said nothing. Even in your campaign, you didn't repudiate it. It's real. I mean, this is the kind of stuff that gets me crazy, okay? Now, the War Powers Act. I'm tired of it. It's not going anywhere. They've tried it and tried it and tried it to say. To demand that the president of the United States before any military action, gets approval from Congress. You cannot wage war in that fashion. Started with Soleimani. If you read Killing the Killers, my book, you understand that the Trump administration wiped out the head of the Iranian National Guard as well as isis, continuing the Obama policy without congressional approval. Okay? That's what happened. And it's all we got. A war powers resolute, war powers. It'll never pass the senate. You need 60 votes. Not happening. So you can run around on the talk shows all you want screaming, war powers this, war powers that. And it's going nowhere. You want to waste your time watching these shows? Up to you. The United States has not declared a war since World War II. That means Korea three years, Vietnam six years. These were undeclared wars, okay? And the presidents did what they wanted to do. Truman and Johnson and Nixon. That's pretty stunning. So what the left wants is that Trump would have to walk in, say, yeah, on Saturday, I'm going to go bomb Iran so that Iran can prepare for the attack. Does that make any sense to you now? Debriefings? Okay. Not mass. I would have called in a couple head of the Armed Services Committee, that kind of thing. Classified. Know who they are so they can be arrested if they violate the Classified Information Act. Okay. I would have given them, but Trump gave everybody a heads up as I said in the beginning of the memo. All right. War powers that drive me nuts. United Nations. Totally useless. Totally useless. Here is the Secretary General. Go. Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world. Let me be clear. There is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations. Yeah, well, you've done a really great job. 911 October 7th. You're really doing a good job. The United nations are really effective. You guys can't even go to Haiti and pacify it. You can't even pacify Haiti. Oh, the negotiation. How long has it been going on with the mullahs? In 1979 worldwide sponsor terrorism. What the UN do? Zero. Kamala Harris should be the Secretary General of the UN. Nothing. No, don't waste of time. 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.

The only thing that agency does that's any good is medical vaccinations for children. As far as I can see, that's it. The Pope Leo. Okay, roll it.
Jonathan Sayer
He says, not built with threats and arms, they generally result in destruction and death, but only through reasonable dialogue. There's also authentic and responsible.
Bill O'Reilly
Now, I don't have a beef with the Pope. That's the Pope's job, okay? The United nations, supposed to protect the world. They don't do their job. The Pope, he wants peace. Peace at any price, maybe. But his job is to try to tamp down killing. So I don't have a beef with that. And authentic and responsible dialogue. That's good. But I'm sure Pope Leo knows you're not going to get that from Putin or the mullahs. You're not going to get it. Not going to happen. But the Pope has to say that. He can't say, blow the hell out of them. That's not what his job is. So there is a difference. The Catholic Church is not in a position to protect the world. It is in a position to teach peace and love. So the big difference. Okay, summing up, I mean, I'm going to get to the media in a moment. I can't tell you how this is going to work out. All right? I don't know. I can say, because I did talk to President Trump himself one on one about it, that Mr. Trump did not want to do the action. You wanted a deal, just like you wanted to deal with Maduro in Venezuela. It wouldn't do the deal. There was some urgency because they fast tracked the nukes after we hit them last June. Yeah, we heard them. But then all of a sudden, two weeks later, they were back trying to make another nuke. But Trump didn't want to do it. I can tell you that, because I spoke to him about it and we brainstormed about. And he thought he was going to get a deal. He didn't even thought these mullah was going to be so crazy. And now the mullah is dead. The ayatollah and if you reconfront evil, where the Ayatollah Khomeini is on a cover and his predecessors just joined him, you see how bad these people are. I got to send a copy of that book to the Pope anyway. I don't know how it's going to turn out. I don't oppose the action. I do caution the Trump administration to have everybody on alert for domestic terrorism. And that's the memo. Okay, let's go back home to the usa. So there's a loss in all of this was a very important House Oversight Committee hearing on Minnesota. And this is a story that needs to have some resolution. So you'll remember that 62 people have been arrested and charged. They've been convicted. 62 convicted, mostly Somalis. Okay. For stealing $9 billion in federal money. Well, how the hell could that happen? Nine billion is a lot of money. So the committee called the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walsh, and the Attorney General, Keith Ellison, to testify. Joining us now from Washington is Congressman Pat Fallon from Texas, who is a member of the Oversight Committee. So what's the headline, Congressman, that you heard today?
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
Well, Bill, they weren't, you know, they didn't want to take responsibility and they wanted to deflect, as I suspected they would. And the Democrats on the Oversight Committee just wanted to talk about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. They didn't want to talk about the issue at hand, which is there were largely in the Somali community, billions of dollars that were stolen from the American taxpayer. And I want to give you an ex specificity, Bill, for your listeners and viewers. There was something called the early Intensive development and Behavioral intervention. It was for kids with autism. And Medicaid billed out in 2018, $671,000. In Minnesota, six years later, they billed out 342,000,500x. Now, you can't tell me that suddenly there was an explosion of autism in, in the state of Minnesota. Clearly it was fraudulent. And these are the kinds of examples where, you know, 300 million here, 200 million here, Bill, suddenly you've got billions, okay?
Bill O'Reilly
So it's federal money that is involved, which is why you're involved. And the Fed's made the case. Walz had to know that there were problems in Minneapolis with the Somalis that defrauding the federal government. Would that be a fair statement? He had to know that.
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
He had to know that. And in fact, we don't have to just go based on, you know, assertions or speculation. We have, Bill, when we do an investigation in the Oversight Committee, we're lucky if we get one or two whistleblowers because it's difficult for them. They face, you know, punishment and ostracize. Ostracized and all that. There are 30 people that work in Minnesota in his administration that have been working with us on the Oversight Committee. That is an astonishing number. That's how bad it was. Everybody knew what was going on. And the Walsh administration looked the other way because they wanted those 30 or 40,000 block Somali votes.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, so it was politics. Now, Governor Walz, did he admit any kind of incompetence here? I know he didn't admit any wrongdoing, but how about saying, gee, I wish I had done a better job? Did he do that?
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
No, he said he was, you know, he was educated. You know, he was. He wasn't being straight and simply saying, this happened on my watch. I'm gonna take responsibility. I wanna fix it. This is exceptionally bad. This is epic fraud. It's historic. And instead he was trying to just obfuscate. And that's just not gonna. It's not gonna pass the spell test here.
Bill O'Reilly
What was his main excuse for not taking action to stop this or alerting the FBI was going on?
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
Well, he said that they did prosecute some folks. And as you mentioned, there were 98 people that have been charged thus far and 85 of them happen to be of Somali descent. And there's been 62 convictions. So he's pointing to that and saying, see, we've convicted some people, but it's like, governor, this shouldn't have happened in the first place. This is after the fact. And the only reason why you are really taking this seriously is because of the whistleblowers and because of journalists like Nick Shirley that exposed it. So they're not sad it happened, Bill. They're just sad they got caught.
Bill O'Reilly
And the Attorney general, Ellison, did he have the same thing going? Well, we were on it because in order to accumulate a $9 billion theft, that takes a while. That's not just two months. That's years and years and years of stealing money from the federal government.
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
They've got Ellison on tape conspiring with these folks. Because at the end of the day, this is one of the things I told Waltz. I said, well, there's one of two possibilities here. This is either you are in on it or you're too stupid to catch it. There's just no other. It's epic incompetence or it's historic stupidity. And which one is it, governor? Then he says, habita. Habita Habita. He talks like Charlie Brown's teacher. He doesn't complete his sentences, he doesn't conjugate his verbs because he was caught red handed and he has no excuse. And Bill, incidentally, I did ask him. You announced that you were running for reelection in September because of your, you know, all the success you've had, and then three and a half months later, you're out. Why? And then he said, well, I talked to my family, blah, blah, blah. It was because you got caught and you were going to lose the general election. That's how bad this is.
Bill O'Reilly
Is Ellison just a flunky,
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
Allison? He is smug, he's arrogant, he knows where he, what he represents. The state of Minnesota, they have a perpetual Democratic majority and he's, he just really doesn't care.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, your peers on the committee you said it was all about, are they blaming Trump for the Somali theft in Minnesota? Is that what they're trying to do now?
Guest/Interviewer or Correspondent (possibly Congressman Pat Fallon)
The Democrats didn't talk about the Somali theft in Minnesota. They talked about Donald Trump pardoning. They always, they always deny, deny, counter accused, deflect. When we talk about the issue at hand, they say we shouldn't be talking about this issue because it's really not a big deal. We should be talking about their agenda. And the fact of the matter is, in 2024, as you know, the American people said, no, we don't want your woke agenda. We want you to actually govern like adults. So that's why we're still in charge.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so no Democrats stepped up and asked any tough questions in the hearing today? No, no, no, not at all. Okay. All right, Congressman, thank you very much. We appreciate it and we hope we could talk again soon. Okay. Bernie Sanders. Now, again, I'm only doing this to just keep you apprised that the socialistic movement in America is not dead. All right? It's taken some hits, there's no doubt about it, but it's there now in California, they want to do a billionaires tax and now the billionaires are moving out. And Newsom says he's going to veto it, which he probably will because he couldn't possibly run for president on a socialistic ticket. But Bernie Sanders, 84 years old, he's not going to run again. He is now introducing a new bill along with California Congressman Ro Khanna, who is becoming increasingly unhinged. Okay. 5% annual every year wealth tax, not only on billionaires money, but all their assets. That means they would come. And your property, your cars, your art collection. The IRS would evaluate okay, we want. Every year he gives 5% of that. So that's going nowhere. It's not constitutional. You can't seize private property. All right? You can do that in communism, socialism. You can't do that in capitalism. People don't understand that. But Sanders, always clever. He goes out, we're going to take the money from the 938 billionaires. That's all there are. And then we're going to give every American who earns less than 150,000, and that includes women and children, dependents, $3,000 cash, direct payment. This is how the socialists buy their way in to power. It's what Fidel Castro did. And after all those years, 89% of the Cuban people live in poverty. We're going to take all of Batiste's money, all the stuff he has, we're going to give it to you. Never happens. Okay, so that's not going anywhere, but it is going to be introduced. Crockett loses in Texas. Not talking Davey, talking Jasmine. She got whacked by a guy named James Talarico, who will then run against either Cornyn or Paxton for the Senate seat. Jasmine lost by 8 percentage points. You know, she's pretty. I don't want to use the word crazy. That's not respectful. But she's out there. So. This is a very important Senate seat, though. If Texas were to elect a Democratic senator, which had happened in decades, Democrats would control the Senate. So. Joining us now from Washington is Jonathan Sayer. He is the Iran Program Analyst at the foundation for Defense of Democracies. So, number one, I did a lot of bloviating there on my part. I hope I didn't bore you. Did I say anything wrong? I saw this app. I got a hit.

Jonathan Sayer
No, everything you pointed out was entirely accurate. Of course. The Islamic Republic has always sought to gain sanctions relief so they can try their best to fuel terrorism. And they've gotten that under President Obama. Of course, we saw very weak sanction enforcement under President Biden. And, you know, that's something that's played into their strategy. And if you look at, you know, Tehran's attacks in the region, they accelerated definitely under Biden, again, because they were not afraid of consequences. And of course, now they are. So, you know, deterrence is one thing, and peace through strength is something that the President has been very vocal about. And we're about to really see the achievements that are going to come from that strategy. Of course, I just wanted to point out one other crucial point here. When we talk about putting U.S. personnel in harm's way, we have to keep in mind this is a regime that regardless, was trying to kill Americans. If you look at any American, whether they were murdered or if they were injured in Iraq or in Afghanistan, all through Iranian weapons. So this is not somehow some issue that just came out out of the blue. This is something that the regime has been doing for years and has been into it.
Bill O'Reilly
The difference is that you have an American president ordering military action. So there is a subtle difference. But you know what's a real indicator here? Where's John Kerry? He's Biden's top negotiator with Iran, who failed dismally to get anything out of those people. He got nothing out of them. They got billions of unfrozen funds. We got zero. The world got zero. Where's Kerry? Okay, he's hiding someplace on Nantucket, I guess. It was a disaster. Am I wrong?
Jonathan Sayer
That was indeed a disastrous deal because Tehran got everything and we effectively, as you pointed out, got nothing out of it. We got no concessions. They kept their nuclear program. They went beyond that. And they were actually enriching uranium in undeclared sites. That's the first weapon for weapon. That's the first step for weaponization. And in return, they got sanctions relief for it. And of course, they funded October 7th, and that's really key. So if you look at every angle, it was a disastrous deal. And of course, this administration sought to get a better deal. But with this regime in Tehran, it is really challenging because it's. They just want to play our diplomats, they want to play the political game here in Washington. So really actually providing them with opportunities, them rejecting it further legitimize this ongoing military campaign because we exhausted all diplomatic options.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, but they don't have any power now. They don't have anything. So it's just a matter of how much destruction they want to absorb. They being whatever council is left, theocratic council over there. And there are guys left that, you know, can make a phone call or whatever, but they're not, they don't have anything at all. They're just helpless right now. Or am I wrong?
Jonathan Sayer
You're correct. They do not have a functioning air force. They do have two lines of deterrence. One of them is the ballistic missiles that of course, we've done a great job trying to intercept them. Israelis also accompanying us trying to neutralize the missile threat. Also going after the launchers, taking out the silos. Of course, we've been really proactive taking out that number one layer of deterrence. Now what comes after that is also funds of terrorism. Tehran has been tapping into its proxies both in the region and of course in the West. We know they have an extensive network in Europe, not as much in America, but again, it's a real threat. So this is not to say these threats are not real, but is more so about saying how this administration has been able to effectively counter them. This was the, really the only US President that was able to meaningfully take the battlefield into Iran. Something that has no one has ever done to. Actually, that's true.
Bill O'Reilly
Nobody else wanted this thing. Even after 9, 11, they didn't want it. And so Trump has stepped up the outcome. Of course, the press is demanding, well, you know, you should know already. I don't know. Do you know, do you have any clue about how that thing's going to settle out in the next few weeks?
Jonathan Sayer
We have a broad understanding. So we do know Iran's anti regime movement is inherently anti Islamist. If you look at university protesters, you look at young people, which Iran is a young population, they're chanting not only against Islamism but also against leftist values. They see this, the Islamo Marxist alliance, as something that has destroyed their country in the past 50 years. So if that's any indication, we know for a fact whatever comes after this regime is not only going to be secular, is also going to be an ally of the United States. Comes down to how the opposition is going to lead that. And the Crown Prince, really son of the Shah, has done an excellent job trying to mobilize the masses against this brutal regime. So all that's really left is, as the president noted, for the Iranian population to wait until the bombing campaign is over and then they can go reclaim the country that has been really taken away from them by Islamists in the past half a century.
Bill O'Reilly
But I don't think it's going to be that easy because you have Revolutionary Guards still there, heavily armed. They're going to gun them down. And that brings me to my last question. When you see the Pope and you see the UN and you see Kamala Harris and you see all of this stuff, there were tens of thousands of people. I guess there's no legitimate stat that I can cite, but these are the reports that were murdered in the last month protesting against the mullahs. What kind of information do you have about how many protesters went down?
Jonathan Sayer
So the numbers we're hearing right now that have been confirmed by a few independent organizations are truly horrifying. In the tens of thousands, about 40,000 people. And unfortunately that makes sense given that it's a population of 90 million. They have 10 cities, over a million people and the Capital has about 15 million people. And you're talking about a brutal regime that actually imported non Iranian proxies, terror networks from Iraq and Afghanistan just to open fire on the masses. But that is exactly why the average Iranian now see this as a revolutionary movement. To them there is no way out. But through which is of course really reinforced by US And Israel military campaign that has decapitated the leadership. As you pointed out, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a main concern and the US Strikes against them, against their leadership has fundamentally weakened them. And that is exactly why it is very important for us to ensure that we're going to get defections out of these armed forces. And once really they see that there's no way out but through, we're going to increasingly see them defect, disobey orders and join the people's movement or as the President noted, face certain death.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, I mean, you got a whole of people kill 40,000 individuals accountable and that again goes into the bailiwick of the people that are protesting all this military action. Very good interview. Mr. Say we really appreciate your time and expertise. We hope you come back. All right. Supreme Court, two rulings that were pretty good in my opinion. They were unsigned, which means that the majority, the court said, look, we're not going to take the case on, but we are going to stop things that are in motion. The first one was the trans stuff. So in California there is a law that public schools don't have to alert parents if their children change their names or pronouns or appearance or the parents would see the appearance. But if they're identifying as a girl and they're a boy, the California authorities don't have to inform the parents. Supreme Court said no. Okay. You can't have that law. That law is illegal six to three. And how we know that, even though it was unsigned, is that the three liberals, Sotomayor Kagan and Kenji Brown. Okay. Said no, we don't like that. Now those three women will vote liberal on everything. So those who criticize the Supreme Court have a point. It is a politicized court and you do have some right wing judges that pretty much everything. They're going to go conservative. So just keep that in mind. The second ruling from the Supreme Court was an outrageous situation. Staten island is the only Republican stronghold in the New York City area and they wanted to redistrict the congressional seat there, the 11th district, and make it more minority. They wanted to change the boundaries so more minorities could vote. Minorities in New York City, vote Democrat. Okay. And that's what the New York legislature and judges were going to do. Well, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis brought it to the federal courts. The Supreme Court said, no, you can't disrupt the district because you want it to be Democrat. Now that's happening all over the country. Not just liberal Democrats are doing it. Some conservatives are trying to do it too, to shut out all congressional opposition. Wrong. That's not what the founding fathers had in mind. But anyway, two good rulings and the three liberal judges said, no, no, no, we were allowed. Okay, you know, I'm sorry. I don't take them seriously. I don't have any respect for them. I don't respect people who are ideologues.

I don't. I want free thinking, fair minded people all Right. Here's a very interesting story. So, Harris, Harvard poll, and it was about the midterms. It's tied. The generic vote is tied. 50, 50. Now, just last month, Democrats led in that poll 54 to 46. This is a big swing in a few weeks for the midterms. I told you this after the State of the Union. I said President Trump's speech is going to swing independence over to the Republican side. Now, that might not last. Certainly if Iran goes south, the president's going to have some problems. This is a big gamble on his part. Big. Now, if it turns out like Venezuela, he's going to be a hero, but, boy, he's rolling the dice. But this poll, and there was one other interesting part of the poll. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump's doing as president? Approved 46. Disapproved 49. That's a tie. The 3 margin of error. 3% margin of error. That's all from the State of the Union. And you heard it here first. Smart life. Okay? So when you get older, and I'm in that category now, you gotta keep your body in shape because it. That's just nature. You decline physically. Now, there's a variety of ways you could do that, and you should do it, and particularly on the immune system level and be able to fight off maladies that come on in. Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, did a study of older people, 65 and up. Okay. And it says that if you eat peanut butter, you will acquire more strength. This is pretty interesting. So peanut butter, never one of my favorites, but I once in a while I cook up the English muffin, throw it in a toast and throw a little peanut butter and some Irish jam on top of it. Not exactly the healthiest thing in the world, but, you know, fills you up for breakfast. But peanut butter, if you eat it three tablespoons a day, that's not a lot for six months, okay, you're not going to be Hercules, but that's what the study says. Smart life. So you want to build up that physicality, and you're 65 and over. Peanut butter. Not the peanut cups, which have so much sugar your bum will fall off. Not that. The regular peanut butter. Final thought, okay, so we got a concierge membership, as you know, and I just said direct access to me. Give me two examples. And they're easy ones. Some of them are very complicated. So what you do is you become a concierge member on billoriley.com and then you get a Email where if you have any problems or you want more information or whatever it is you want, we get back to you within 24 hours. You get transcript of everything I say if you want it free. Okay, so we got a woman from Florida. We don't give names. If you're a concierge member, you are anonymous to everybody. Never ever will we give your name out. So woman writes that she is having trouble, okay, With a refund from a company. They owe her $2,000. Okay. She canceled her account. It's a home warranty company. And the company said, okay, we'll refund your $2,000. She couldn't get it. Not unusual. Couldn't get the money, wouldn't send it to her. Oh. We call the company very politely and say we looked at the warranty, owe the woman 2000. Can pay it or not. We don't waste time. So the company did refund the check to the woman. She got two grand. Another guy from California, he was involved with a gold company called Gold Co. Okay. And he wanted to liquidate his holdings legitimately. Wanted to sell them. Couldn't get anywhere with Gold Co. We called and said, hey, your contract is somebody wants to sell, gotta sell and the money they get. Gold Co did the right thing. I was impressed by Gold Co doing the right thing. So the guy got his money the next day. You know, any other service does this. And I'll admit, you know, the companies are afraid because if I go on the air and say, hey, this company screwing Myrtle from Mississippi, not good. And we use that leverage, but not in a mean, unfair way. We want justice for you. That's what concierge member is all about. Billo riley.com Hope you consider it. Thank you for watching us tonight and we'll see you again tomorrow. Lifelock.

This episode centers on the sudden U.S.-Israel military strike on Iran announced over the weekend, dissecting its background, motivations, global reactions, and political ramifications. Bill O’Reilly critiques mainstream media reactions, analyzes political responses (especially from Democrats), highlights key missteps from prior administrations, and delves into related domestic issues, including high-profile fraud in Minnesota and current Supreme Court actions. Special guest segments offer expertise on Iran and US foreign policy. The tone is characteristically direct, blunt, and skeptical of establishment narratives.
“I don't know why anybody was surprised… For weeks, President Trump was saying, look, we want to make a deal with these people… and if they don't, then we're going to have to force them to do that.” [00:12]
“They live in a bubble, which is becoming an increasing problem for the world. And the totalitarians love that. The less you know, the more they like it.” [01:10]
“President Trump’s in charge, but the Pentagon’s calling the shots, want to downgrade the ballistic missile situation whereby Iran would not be able to fire missiles…” [01:50]
“They can blow up women and children… But to wage war against powerful military machines... they can't. That's important that you know that. This is all bluster.” [03:02]
Domestic Terror Threat:
O’Reilly warns about pro-jihad sympathizers within the US, linking domestic terror in Texas to this context.
“That is President Trump’s biggest challenge, because you’ve got a lot of people here who are sympathetic to the jihad. Thank you, Joe Biden.” [04:06]
Regime Change Strategy:
The real strategy, he says, is pressing for regime change in Iran, noting its uncertain prospects.
Democratic Opposition:
The Democratic Party is depicted as reflexively opposing Trump’s actions, aside from rare exceptions (Fetterman, Suozzi).
“The Democratic Party is going to oppose everything that Donald Trump does. It doesn’t matter. He could... cure cancer. They'd oppose it.” [05:06]
“You, lady… were vice president when an American administration for four years empowered mullahs in Iran to kill people, including Americans. That's what you did and said. Nothing.” [06:44]
“I'm tired of it… You cannot wage war in that fashion… The United States has not declared a war since World War II.” [09:20]
“The United Nations are really effective. You guys can’t even go to Haiti and pacify it. You can’t even pacify Haiti.” [11:30]
“The Pope, he wants peace. Peace at any price, maybe. But his job is to try to tamp down killing. So I don't have a beef with that.” [14:47]
US Show of Force:
Sayer affirms that sanctions relief “fueled terrorism” under Obama and Biden, and now Trump is bringing “peace through strength.”
"Deterrence is one thing, and peace through strength is something that the President has been very vocal about..." [28:01]
Iran’s Response and Regime Stability:
O’Reilly and Sayer agree Iran’s regime is militarily weakened, with two core deterrents: (1) Ballistic missiles, mostly neutralized, and (2) Terror proxy networks.
"They do not have a functioning air force... We've been really proactive taking out that number one layer of deterrence." [31:01]
Future Scenarios:
Sayer predicts Iran’s anti-regime movement is secular and could become a US ally, but O’Reilly doubts an easy transition due to the Revolutionary Guards' violent suppression.
"When you see the Pope and you see the UN... tens of thousands... murdered in the last month protesting against the mullahs." [33:11]
Massacres and Atrocities:
Sayer estimates about 40,000 protesters killed in recent weeks by the regime.
"The numbers we're hearing right now... tens of thousands, about 40,000 people." [33:45]
“There were… billions of dollars that were stolen from the American taxpayer.” [18:45]
“Everybody knew what was going on. And the Walz administration looked the other way because they wanted those 30 or 40,000 block Somali votes.” [20:02]
“The Democrats didn’t talk about the Somali theft in Minnesota. They talked about Donald Trump…” [23:28]
“The Supreme Court said no. Okay. You can’t have that law. That law is illegal six to three.” [35:00]
“President Trump’s speech is going to swing independence over to the Republican side. Now, that might not last…” [38:48]
Peanut Butter Strength Tip:
Citing a study, O’Reilly claims three tablespoons of peanut butter daily increase strength for those aged 65 and over.
“If you eat peanut butter, you will acquire more strength… Not the peanut cups, which have so much sugar your bum will fall off.” [40:30]

Bill O’Reilly’s March 5, 2026 episode offers a dense, rapid, and opinionated tour through geopolitics, domestic scandals, and judicial news, featuring pointed interrogations of established narratives and critiques of Democratic and international approaches. The Iran situation dominates, with analysis balancing both military and regime-change angles, underscored by a skepticism towards global institutions and a strong defense of Trump’s strategy—though mindful of the political risks involved. Domestic issues—fraud, Supreme Court trends, and social policy—are woven in, reinforcing O’Reilly’s “No Spin” ethos and combative style.
