1. Trump’s Economic and Political Trajectory

[01:20]
Bill O'Reilly opens the episode by drawing parallels between Donald Trump’s second half of his presidency and Ronald Reagan’s tenure. He suggests that if Trump's economy continues to boom, he could emulate Reagan's success more swiftly due to his aggressive leadership style. O'Reilly states, “If he turns that economy around, if it's booming by October, he goes into Reagan territory.”

2. Supreme Court Ruling on Transgender Military Service

[05:52] - [07:21]
O'Reilly discusses a Supreme Court memo that temporarily upholds a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. He criticizes the ruling as necessary for maintaining military discipline, stating, “Even in one's personal life, a man's assertion he is a woman and his requirement that others honor this falsehood is not consistent with humility and selflessness required of a service member” (01:45). He underscores the administration's dependence on the Supreme Court for implementing policies on deportations, tariffs, and ideological issues affecting institutions like Harvard and NPR.

3. Critique of Media Narratives and Constitutional Debates

[07:21] - [09:05]
O'Reilly criticizes media outlets for misrepresenting Trump's stance on the Constitution. Referring to an interview with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, he argues that media distortions lead to misinformation about Trump's commitment to constitutional principles. He emphasizes, “It doesn't grant everyone in our country the right to due process” (08:30), highlighting discrepancies in media reporting.

4. Analysis of Joe Biden’s Interview with the BBC

[09:05] - [11:18]
O'Reilly reflects on Joe Biden’s first interview since leaving office, labeling it as a “low light” due to Biden’s perceived incompetence and violations of presidential protocol. He criticizes Biden’s unorthodox statements and behavior in the Oval Office, asserting, “President Biden violates protocol” (10:15). O'Reilly also mentions his upcoming books, including a new chapter on Biden.

5. Foreign Policy Insights with Professor Edward

[14:35] - [21:00]
In a segment featuring Professor Edward from Harvard’s Kennedy School, O'Reilly delves into Trump’s foreign policy. Professor Edward describes Trump as a “transactional” leader who employs “constructive uncertainty” to negotiate deals, particularly with China. O'Reilly concurs, sharing his personal involvement in hostage negotiations and emphasizing Trump’s preference to avoid direct military conflicts unless attacked. A notable exchange includes O'Reilly stating, “Trump doesn't want any armed conflict” (17:45).

6. U.S. Budget Surplus and Tariff Policies

[21:00] - [29:45]
O’Reilly reports on the U.S. budget surplus of $258 billion in April, attributing a 23% increase to Trump’s tariffs. He explains, “Tariffs are bringing a lot of money in U.S. treasury” (23:10), and connects this economic strategy to broader financial stability. Additionally, he discusses McDonald's partnership with the federal government to hire 375,000 summer workers, highlighting its role in economic growth and job training.

7. Domestic Issues: Homelessness in California and Political Ambitions

[29:45] - [26:30]
O’Reilly critiques California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent initiative to eliminate 16,000 homeless encampments, arguing it is a politically motivated move to bolster Newsom’s presidential ambitions. He states, “Why did he do this 10 years ago? Why did he let the homeless situation in California get so out of control?” (24:00). O'Reilly attributes the homelessness crisis to substance addiction, asserting that rehabilitation programs are ineffective without mandated participation.

8. Immigration and Deportation Policies

[33:03] - [36:16]
O'Reilly addresses the Department of Homeland Security’s new “self-deportation” program, which offers undocumented immigrants a free flight home and $1,000 upon arrival. He criticizes the program’s efficacy, noting, “Most undocumented are not going to do it because they don't trust anybody” (35:00). He contrasts the cost of this initiative ($17,000 per individual) with previous deportation expenses, questioning its financial viability and practicality.

9. Media Coverage and 60 Minutes’ Portrayal of Trump

[36:16] - [41:39]
O'Reilly vehemently criticizes the CBS program 60 Minutes for its negative portrayal of Donald Trump. He rebukes Scott Pelley for presenting Trump as “the devil” and highlights perceived biases in the coverage, especially regarding Trump’s legal battles. O'Reilly provides context on Mark Elias, a lawyer involved in the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign’s opposition research, arguing that Pelley omitted critical information about Elias’s role in the Russian collusion scandal (38:00).

10. Trump’s Social Media Activity and Public Perception

[41:39] - [43:00]
O'Reilly touches on Trump’s controversial social media behavior, specifically his retweet of an image depicting himself as a pope. He expresses confusion and disappointment, noting, “Why would you do that? This happened Friday. Of course people are offended” (42:00). He emphasizes the disconnect between Trump’s actions and the predominantly Catholic voter base.

11. U.S.-Canada Relations and Political Dynamics

[43:00] - [29:45]
Discussing Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney, O'Reilly outlines the economic and political interplay between the U.S. and Canada. He highlights Carney’s background in economics and his collaborative stance, contrasting it with Trump’s aggressive negotiating tactics. O’Reilly predicts a pragmatic resolution to trade and border issues, asserting, “We’re going to take over Greenland, we’re going to take over Panama” (28:00), reflecting Trump’s hyperbolic negotiating style.

12. Support for Legal Aid and Economic Realities

[43:00] - [End]
Concluding the episode, O'Reilly addresses listeners' financial struggles, particularly seniors facing economic hardships. He advocates for utilizing legal aid services, stating, “Legal aid, if you are poor and you don't have any money, they are in business to help you” (42:45). He underscores the importance of financial self-reliance in a capitalist society, reinforcing a message of personal responsibility.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Second half of the year, which is really, boy, I think it's the most important part of Donald Trump's presidency, both his full first term and this term. If he turns that economy around, if it's booming by October, he goes into Reagan territory. Now, I'm not going to bore you with what happened to Ronald Reagan after Jimmy Carter, but it's so similar to what happened to Donald Trump after Joe Biden. It's almost the same thing. If you want to know my book, Killing Reagan is the book, but it took Reagan a long time to get out of that Carter quagmire. But in the second term, he's roaring. And that's going to happen faster because Donald Trump is a much more aggressive president than Ronald Reagan was. So, anyway, fascinating conversation. I never know when these things are going to happen. It's not like I get a heads up, you know, be available at 10am O'Reilly, for the most powerful man in the world. PHONE RINGS I looked at the phone and there it is. And so I got to be on my game all the time. And that's what I try to be talking about. His memo is about a legal victory for the Trump administration. At least temporarily on this trans military stuff. Now, you may not think that's so important, but it is, because you have to take the tempo of the Supreme Court. All of this stuff about blocking deportations, about tariffs, about denying ideological concerns like Harvard and npr, PBS money, all going to come down to the Supreme Court. So you need to know what the justices are thinking. And this is an interesting ruling. So on January 27, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order, quote, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual's sex conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle. Even in one's personal life, a man's assertion he is a woman and his requirement that others honor this falsehood is not consistent with humility and selflessness required of a service member, unquote. That is pretty harsh. But if you are going to run a military that consists of 1.2 million service people, you got to have discipline, okay? And in this country, we have spent since 2015, $52 million on so called gender affirming care in the military. $52 million. I wouldn't pay a dollar, not a dollar. If somebody enlists in the armed services and you're not drafted, we don't have that here. And then they decide to become the other sex, okay? You just resign, get a general discharge. That's all. You know, I want to pay him for it. I don't want to pay for anybody's gender affirming care. I mean, maybe I'm a mean guy, but that's not on me. And I don't expect anybody to pay whatever I decide to do in my private life either. Okay? The other thing is that if you are the commander in chief, then you get to run the military the way you want, okay? It's not subject to congressional approval, only war declaration of war is. But the way you run, you're the commander in chief. So anyway, Supreme Court issued an emergency lift of a block that bans transgender in the military. So it's lifting it. Okay? So for right now, if you're transgender, you can't be in the military. And if you're already there, I don't know what you do, but I guess you decide to pack it up now. Supreme Court said, look, we're not going to issue a written decree on this. And they did not. We're going to kick it back to the lower federal courts for their ruling and then we'll take it up again. That's where it is. Okay? So the three liberal justices, Sotomayor, Kagan, And Brown, Jackson, they made it clear that they were dissenting, that they want this block on it. Okay? That's not a surprise. And then the Democratic Party, per se, opposes it. The ban on transgenders in the military as well. Roll the tape.

[Mike Slater]

Frankly, the military has more things to.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Worry about than the handful of transgender.

[Mike Slater]

Service members being, you know, than this going out there and discriminating against transgender service members.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I don't think. I mean, look, I. The military does have more important things to worry about, but this shouldn't be happening. Okay? I mean, you can't have chaos in a barracks. And she should know, you know, Senator Duckworth is an honored veteran of this country. She should know better. But politics oversees everything else. Sum it up. Got to take the tempo of the Supreme Court. You have to, because Donald Trump's administration is utterly dependent on that body to go forward with what it wants to do. And that's the memo. Another media phony controversy over obeying the Constitution. Drives me crazy. So you'll remember Dictator on first day, right, when Trump said that about the car industry, and then the Democrats ran out and said, he's going to be a dictator, he's going to be Hitler. And you'll remember good people on both sides, and they ran out and said, oh, Trump's calling the Nazis good people, when he was saying the good people on both sides of the Confederate statute debate. So you remember those. They were vivid. They were lies. And the media just does this all day long. So we now we have another one. It all starts on Sunday. Meet the Press. Kirsten Welker, Go.

[Mike Slater]

Don't you need to uphold the Constitution.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Of the United States as president? I don't know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said. They're talking about undocumented aliens and due process. So they take the. I don't know, do you need to uphold the Constitution of the United. As president? And I don't know, but he's not talking about upholding the entire Constitution. He's talking about one controversy, which, if you saw the whole interview, you would know. But the press just, boom, takes it right out of there. Okay? And it just makes me so sick because it carries over into Congress. So we have Congresswoman Lauren Underwood out of Illinois, suburbs of Chicago. She shows up yesterday to grill Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem about all this deportation stuff. Roll the tape. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This weekend, the president made the remarkable statement that he, quote, doesn't know whether he has to uphold the Constitution. Constitution. You, however, have taken a different position, both in your confirmation hearing and when you took the oath of office. You said that you were committed to complying with the Constitution. Do you still stand by that statement? Absolutely. I believe President Trump. Excellent. It is also violating the fundamental right of individuals. Do you believe that the Constitution grants everyone in our country the right to due process, including non citizens?

[Mike Slater]

The administration has the authority to.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Ma' Am, I'm looking for a yes or no question. Yes or no. Do you believe the concept? Yes, ma' am. Ridiculous, absurd, dishonest. What else can I tell you? Okay, number one, she takes the Trump's remark out of context. Number two, she says, this is. This is a quote. I'm going to reread it to you. All right, so she says, do you believe that the Constitution grants everyone in our country the right to due process, including non citizens? It doesn't grant everyone in our country the right to due process. There are different categories. So if you are an undocumented alien with a deportation order, you don't have due process. They can sweep you off the street and put you on a plane and boot you out because you already have a deportation order. If you come across today, the Rio Grande river in Texas and set foot on that soil of that state, the Border Patrol could turn you right around and boot you right back to Mexico. I don't have to drag you into some courtroom. Now, this woman, this congresswoman, Lauren Underwood, is either too stupid to know that or too dishonest in her presentation. I don't know which it is. There's no other third possibility. So ridiculous. Anyway, I was going to go over and give you a resume. I'm not even going to bother. All right. Joe Biden, the first sit down interview since leaving office. Delaware Hotel Dupont actually stayed here one time. Nice hotel. It was recorded Yesterday with the BBC. Strange. He gives an interview to the BBC. The first one. And of course, it lasted for 28 minutes. Pretty long on Biden's standards. And here was a highlight or a low light. Go. What did you make of those scenes in the Oval Office?

[Mike Slater]

President Trump and President Zelensky.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I found it sort of beneath America, the way that took place, in the way we talk about now, that. Well, since the Gulf of America, maybe we're going to have to take back Panama. Maybe we need acquire Greenland. Maybe Canada should be. What the hell's going on here? What president ever talks like that? Okay, number one, President Biden violates protocol, which is in stone, that you shouldn't be, if you're a former president, you shouldn't be undermining a current president. But you know, look, I could do 30 minutes on Biden's incompetence, okay? But I'm on the record, second worst president ever. Documented it in Confronting the Presidents. I'm actually writing a new Biden and Trump chapter for the paperback which will be out I think in November. Time for Christmas. We got Killing Evil and Hardback coming out in September. But I'm writing a new chapters on Biden and because by the time when I was writing the original Confronting the Presidents, the Biden's term wasn't finished yet. Now it is and now Trump is, you know, I'll get a pretty good handle on Trump by mid summer. So we got two new things. But it's easy for me to, you know, criticize Biden, so why bother, right? Let's bring in Edward. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Get [e-mail] Jejirian from the Kennedy School at Harvard up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is a former US Ambassador to Israel appointed by President Clinton. Before that Ambassador to Syria appointed by Ronald Reagan. Now that can't ever happen. Again, so the professor is in a unique position. A Democrat appoints a very important position, Israel, after a Republican appointed him to Syria. But you never get that now because the two parties are so far apart. All right, my analysis, professor, did I make any mistakes here?

[Edward]

No, I don't think you're getting any mistakes, Bill. I think you, you characterize President Trump's modus operandi on foreign policy. I think, pretty well. He's, as we know, a transactional president. He's not a intellectual strategy president like Richard Nixon. But I like to define his methodology, Bill, as disruptive or constructive uncertainty. What do I mean by that? He throws out a lot of ideas, as we've seen on domestic policy and foreign policy, and some of them really seem to be totally wild. But then it causes in the interlocutor, be it a country or another leader, you know, it puts the, the interlocutor he's dealing with immediately on the back foot. How am I going to respond to this? And it sort of softens him up for the deal. And then he negotiates the deal. As we've seen on the tariffs with China, you know, we've gone down from 145% down to 30%, and Chinese are putting in 10% against us. And this is his methodology throughout. And I think that that's his methodology. I think his principled approach is America first in all dimensions in domestic and foreign policy, what's good for America's prosperity, security, etc. And then the other thing I think is very important, and I may be dead wrong on this, but I really think inherently that Trump is adverse, adverse to America's engagement in foreign wars, the Vietnams, the Afghanistans, the Iraq wars. And he doesn't want, under his watch to be an American president that is mired in yet another, for example, Middle east war. And this, I think, is really critical because when you look at the team he's put together, it's really hard line. Well, I won't call them neocons.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Let me jump in. Let me jump in because I know something about this personally. You're absolutely right, 100% right. Trump doesn't want any armed conflict. You know, he'll threaten, he'll be bellicose. Yeah, we're going to go invade Panama or we're going to do this. But he doesn't want to do it. He won't do it unless we're attacked. And the proof here this week is that he went to the Gulf without consulting Netanyahu in Israel at all. And Netanyahu is an armed confrontation guy. He wants to wipe out every Hamas, Hezbollah terrorist that he can find. Trump doesn't want that, and that's one of the reasons he got the hostage out. Not many people know this, but I was directly involved in December last year in the hostage negotiations. And I can't really explain on television why, but there was a reason that I was involved as a private citizen, and that was when a lot of the hostage lay down happened, not before Trump was inaugurated, because both administrations were involved. And as you know, as former ambassador to Israel, there's so many different factions over there working against each other that Trump is just. It's blank. This. I'm gonna do what I want because I'm the big dog, and they're just gonna have to follow in line. That's what's happening over there.

[Edward]

I could agree with you. It's exactly what he did. And it's remarkable there's such a body of public opinion in Israel pressuring Netanyahu to prioritize the remaining hostage releases. I think they're 51 now, 24 alive.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They. They say. And I think, yeah, I think that number is solid because Trump has sent a message to the Hamas people. You lie to me, then I'm going to let Netanyahu loose. So I think it's 24 alive. All right. I have to. I'm using this interview as a personal. And this is kind of like the gutter plain. This is personal to me. I'm going to China in 10 days, and I'm meeting with a lot of Xi's guys. So, I mean, I'm doing this again as a journalist, number one, but as a private citizen, number two. So I'll be carrying some messages over to Beijing. I have no experience with the Chinese. Can I be me over there? Can I just. No. Spin it and say, look, this isn't the deal. Can I do that?

[Edward]

Oh, I think you can. I think they've. They've done their homework on you, Bill.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, they invited me.

[Edward]

They invited you. They've done you. And so that's. That's a green light right there. No, I think you can be. I think you can be very open in your characteristic way with the Chinese. But. But if I. If you're asking my advice, one thing I would do is first I'd listen to what they have to say. Listen and try and convey that you know where they're coming from. You want to hear where they're coming from, and then you listen to what they say, and then you discuss that and see if there's any common ground.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, I will. There's a Q and A at the, at the Beijing Club. I didn't even know there was a Beijing Club. I'm glad it's inside. For every question they ask me, I'm going to ask them a question that. That's what it's going to be. So I'm going to do exactly, exactly what, what you recommend. Hey, professor, it's a pleasure to talk with you. I hope you come back and if you see anything interesting, just let us know. We appreciate your, you know, realistic view of the world rather than a partisan view. Thank you very much. All right, so the U.S. budget surplus. You don't hear that word, budget surplus. We're always in debt. But again, you know, my job is to report the facts. And here they are. In April, the U.S. government ran a surplus of $258 billion. That compared to a surplus of 210 billion under Biden last year, an increase of 23%. Now, in April, they always run a surplus. Why? Because of tax day. You got to get your tax. So the most money comes in in April. So that's not unusual. But the big. The 23% increase is because of the Trump tariffs. That's the. Why it increased $49 billion, because 16 billion of that was taken at the ports of call. So when Trump says we get 5 billion a day, it's a little exaggeration, but he's getting. Tariffs are bringing a lot of money in U.S. treasury. You should know that. McDonald's. So everybody remember the McDonald's campaign thing where Trump was at the drive in window giving McDonald's food to the people and it was a big hit and all of that. Now McDonald's is thrown in with Donald Trump. Did you know that? I didn't know that. So we're going to see Ronald McDonald wearing a MAGA hat next? I don't know. But there was a joint announcement with U.S. labor Secretary Lori Chavez de Remmer, and the CEO of McDonald's, Christopher Kempinski, that McDonald's gonna hire 375,000 summer workers. Now, why is this important? Because it's gateway. I worked at Carvel when I was 17. Fast food ice cream place. And what it does is it trains you all right, and you gotta show up on time, you gotta do your job, you know, so McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, 375,000. We're going to hire all young people, temporary work. And we're doing this in conjunction with the federal government. Now, McDonald's I don't think is getting any money for this. They donated more than $135,000 to Trump in 2020. When he lost last time around, that dropped 100,000. McDonald's didn't pump a lot of money into Trump. I guess they felt he was going to lose in 24. In 20, yeah, in 24. But anyway, I thought that was an interesting deal. Gavin Newsom wants to run for president because he knows nobody else with the name recognition and the hair style that he has. Put his picture up there, please. And here's Newsom. He's a kind of slick guy. So in order to run for president, he's got to get away from the far left stuff that he's championed for decades. So now he says he's going to wipe out all the homeless camps in California, go over 16,000 encampments. We've cleaned up at the state level. That's unprecedented in the state's history.

[Mike Slater]

We'll do more.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We have to do more. We have a model ordinance that the state is using, and that's what now I want to see happen in other municipalities across California. Okay, so why did he do this 10 years ago? Why did he let the homeless situation in California get so out of control? Do you realize that about a quarter of all homeless people in America live in California because the weather's good? And in San Francisco and places like that, they pay the homeless people, they give them cash so they can buy heroin or fentanyl wherever they want their money, gin, beer. Because most of these homeless people are addicts. They're substance addicts. These aren't people that were lost their job. These are people who make a lifestyle out of not being able to support themselves because they spend all their money on substance, on drugs and alcohol. That's what they do. So California is, okay, 3.3 billion, which they don't have for programs for the homeless people. It's a total waste of money because what are those programs going to be? Well, they're going to be rehabilitation. Well, most, according to every survey, most drug addicts don't want to be rehab. They like getting high every day. That's what they want to do. And they're going to do it whether. No matter what you say, unless you force them into rehab, which they do in some countries. Okay, so. But this whole thing comes back down to Newsom wanting to run for president. Okay? And now he's got to be, oh, I'm not. No, no, hey, for 10 years, you let these people run wild, destroy cities, Louisiana, San Francisco. Drain the treasury of the state of California. He did nothing. Nothing. But now. Oh, we're going to 16,000. Oh my God. Anyway, that's coming. You should know it.

All right, Canada day at the White House. This stuff I keep telling you, if it's Tuesday and this happens, something else is going to happen on Thursday. All right, so the new prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, throw his face up there. I'll tell you about him on the radio. So he was raised at Fort Smith, which is a outpost in a northwest territory. Sakana, small town guy, 60 years old, has the Liberal party and he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, okay, in 1987. That means he's a smart guy, degree in economics. He worked for Goldman Sachs all over the world. So this is a money man, okay? So he comes to Washington because he has to come to Washington. I've been telling you, United States is not going to buy Canada. We're not going to send troops to Canada. Canada is not going to be the 51st. All of that is hyperbole, okay? And it has been from day one. And okay, if I'm the only one who knows it, then I'm lonely. So Carney comes in, flies down from Ottawa and he says this go. And you know the history of Canada and the U.S. is we're stronger when we work together. And there's many opportunities to Work together. And I look forward to, you know, addressing some of those issues that we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation. All right, so, you know, it's like they're friends now. And I said in the very beginning, Canada, Mexico are going to work out their tower problems. They have to. All right? They need us. We don't need them. Here's President Trump go, well, we'll be talking about different things. You know, we want to protect our automobile business, and so does Mark, but we want to protect. We want to make the automobiles and we want to, you know, we have a tremendous abundance of energy, more than any country. We have just in Alaska alone. ANWAR has been reopened. Now, ANWAR is probably the largest find anywhere in the world. They say it's larger than Saudi Arabia. I don't know, but it's a lot. But we have tremendous amounts of energy. Other countries don't.

[Mike Slater]

We're both lucky in that way.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, so they're going to work it out. Okay? And all of this, we're going to take over Greenland, we're going to take over Panama. Stay here. Okay? Watch and listen to me. Now, you would ask, well, why does President Trump do all this? Why? Because he wants his negotiating opponents on the defensive. He wants to throw in uncertainty. That's how he does it. If you read the United States of Trump, that's has been negotiating posture since he was 22 years old. He never deviates from it. Create chaos on the other side. Say all of this stuff. You don't have to do it. Just say it. But anyway, it's a good thing that Canada and the United States and Mexico in the United States get more problems in Mexico. As I laid out yesterday with the drug cartels, Canada will come around and they will reach some kind of deal. I predict. I would like it to be quicker. Okay. Than it is, but there's just national pride. Carney's got to go back, and he can't be presenting himself as somebody surrendering to Trump. It's the same thing with Sheinbaum in Mexico. I can't let Trump intimidate me. And that's the downside to negotiating aggressively, that if the, if you surrender to that, then your people think that you lost. What Trump is, is good at doing is win, win, okay? That's how I negotiate. I have to negotiate a lot of stuff. All right? In my. I run three corporations here, and I'm trying. I always try to get in a. In a situation where everybody wins, some people win more than others. Okay? And then that's into Trump's ego zone. But if everybody wins, a deal is much easier to make. And that's what I believe will happen. Now, former Vice President Mike Pence has staked himself as a conservative ideologue. Not, he's not a bomb thrower like the talk radio guys or anything like that, but he sees himself as a conservative purist. And as we know, Donald Trump is not a conservative purist. He holds some conservative positions because his MAGA base is largely conservative. But. But Pence is doctrinaire. So he goes on cnn. This is interesting. Yesterday, the only reason CNN invites Mike Pence on is to bash Trump. They couldn't care less what Mike Pence has to say. That's why they invite him on. Go. It would stifle American growth, limit prosperity, drive up costs for American consumers. And we ought to be driving again toward that principle of free trade with free nations and standing tough, standing firm on authoritarian regimes like China.

[Mike Slater]

So you think he's wrong on tariffs?

[Bill O'Reilly]

I do think this version of tariff policy that's broad based, indiscriminate, applies tariffs to friend and foe alike is not a win for the American people. Okay, but remember, there was no solution put forth by Vice President Pence or anybody else as to how to get that trillion dollar trade imbalance down. And to this day, I don't think Mr. Pence has a solution. He doesn't like the tariffs worldwide. I don't like the tariffs worldwide. Why don't I like them? Because they create instability in the financial marketplaces. So rather than investments and performance, the stock market, the bond market, the dollar and all that is fluctuating around based on what Sri Lanka might do that day. That's instability. All right, But I understand you got to get the trade imbalance down if you want Americans to make more money in the marketplace. This, and I'm not criticizing Mike Pence, but if he's got something that would improve the trade amounts, I'd like to hear it, because I have not. All right. The Department of Homeland Security, this is Christie Noem, says that if you are an undocumented alien, the government will pay for your flight home and give you $1,000 when you get there. Okay, this is the latest. So it's called self deporting. And this is funny. So the Homeland security department has one person who's done this, allegedly one out of 15 million. Apparently the person went from Chicago to Honduras, back to Honduras on a free air ticket from US taxpayer and they'll get 1000 bucks when they do something I don't really know what. Now, this is not going to work. Number one, most undocumented are not going to do it because they don't trust anybody, much less the US Government. Number two, although there are some carrots here that you could come back to the USA legally at a later date and that we're not. If you apply for this program, we won't deport you. Okay? Homeland Security won't go after you, so you'll get a notice that you're cooperating and you'll be free from that. But I just don't see it. And nobody knows how much money that it'll cost. So it's 1000 bucks for every migrant once they get back. And the airline ticket. Now here's something that's interesting. Department of Homeland Security says it costs $17,000 on average to arrest, detain and remove an undocumented immigrant. 17,000 each one. And I think it's way more than that because remember, when they're living here, if you live in California, another liberal state, you get all kinds of free health and free this and free that. And you know, okay.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But just to get them back to their home country cost 17,000 a head. 60 Minutes. You know, this really hurts me to report the story. So Scott Pelley is a good correspondent. He broke the record for emmys. He won 51 or something like that. He despises Donald Trump. He puts himself up as Edward R. Murrow versus McCarthy. Senator McCarthy. That's what Kelly's doing here. And it's piece after piece after piece. Trump is the devil. Trump is the devil. Trump. Trump is suing 60 Minutes. You know the story. All right, so last night, they do a story about Trump threatening law firms, denying them federal business because of what Trump sees as corruption of those law firms. The guy that Pelly centers in on is named Mark Elias. He was the top lawyer for Hillary Clinton when she ran against Trump in 2016. Peli turns Elias into a hero. Go. Donald Trump hates me because I fight.

[Mike Slater]

Hard and I fight for free and fair elections. I insist on fighting for democracy in court, fighting for voting rights in court, and insist on telling the truth about what the outcome of the 2020 election was.

[Bill O'Reilly]

That's a bunch of bad words. It's a bunch of bull, okay? Trump does not despise Elias because he fights for freedom or anything else. He despises Elias because of this. Number one, Elias, when he was running the Hillary Clinton campaign, hired Fusing gps to do opposition research against Donald Trump. They then hired the British firm that put together the anti Trump dossier in the Russian collusion fraud. Okay, so Mark, a lot is directly responsible for that whole Russian collusion fraud, which he thought would derail Trump and lead Hillary Clinton to the White House. That's why Trump hates him. And subsequently, there was an investigation. It was no Russian collusion. An FBI agent went to prison or was convicted for ginning up phony FISA warrants. All of that came from Elias. Okay? Peli didn't mention it once. Not once. I'm sitting there stunned. Okay? In addition, he's got three lawyers, Elias and two others pounding Trump as a fascist who wants to destroy the Justice Department. Not one lawyer who supports Trump. Not one. In the whole piece. I tweeted about it. I mean, I'm sitting there going, what is going on in this country when this CBS News puts this on the air? And they know what they're doing. They know who Elias is and what he did with fusing GPS. They know and ignored it 100%. They couldn't find one Trump lawyer to put forth Trump's point of view. 60 Minutes. All right. Then, Donald Trump unfortunately puts a photo of himself dressed as a pope on X, I believe. Right. Okay. There it is. Now, this is dumb. Why would you do that? This happened Friday. So of course people are offended. Roll the tape. I hope he didn't have anything to do with that.

[Mike Slater]

Are you offended by that?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, you know, you, it wasn't good. So Trump didn't do it, but he retweeted it. Is that what they say? I just don't understand. I really don't understand. Now, am I offended by, I'm not offended by much, but it's so unnecessary because many Catholics, the majority voted for Trump. That's. You may think it's funny and it's fine, but why do that? Why that kind of stuff? Smart life. So we're always looking out for you. I hope you believe that. I think you do. You wouldn't be here if you don't. So I can't cover foreign news as much as I'd like to because I got so much on the domestic front. And, and we have to concentrate on that. But there's a very good website that covers foreign news called a Global Post. I mentioned it before. And they are going to give Bill O'Reilly subscribers 50% off their yearly. And it's not much. And what you do is you go to globalpost.com and you, when you fill out their promotion code, you put bill or capital letters, notice the caps, and then you get 50% off. Okay. This is for new subscribers to global post.com so if you're foreign news person, this is good. Comes every day. I read it every day. Comes very early in the morning. Go dumb. Bump, bump, bump, bump. Stuff that I, I just can't cover. So we hope you check it out. Okay, final thought. I, you know, I get so many letters. I don't have any money. I don't have any money. I don't have any money. And a lot of them are from senior citizens. And if you don't have any money, you're hosed in this country. That's it. You're screwed. There are, however, some safety nets, and here is one of them. Legal aid. It's free. Now, There are about 130 legal aid organizations in every, you know, all across the country. You go there and they have attorneys. It's free legal assistance provided to people who are poor. If you make less than 20,000 a year individual, or 40,000 for a family of four, you can get free legal advice from Legal8. They go in there with it, whatever your problem is, and they will advise you or give you legal counsel or whatever. And this is what you have to do, because you're gonna get it. Every Single American, all 335 million of us, before we die, are gonna have a problem somewhere that you're gonna need help with. And if you can't pay an attorney, you're gonna get it hard. But Legal aid, if you are poor and you don't have any money, they are in business to help you. So find out where your nearest legal aid operation is. That's number one. I feel terrible for it, but this is a capitalist society. You have got to have some assets. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you again tomorrow.
