Welcome to the no Spin News. Monday, March 31, 2025. Stand up for your country. Ton to tell you about today, yesterday, the Three American show, the first one went very well, 1300Americans. I didn't see any undocumented people in there. Ticket prices are a little high. But everybody seemed to have a good time and we had people, you know, asking about that. So it went very well. I'm going to show you a couple of clips tonight in the no Spin news is a unique concept and we'll talk about it on as the week unfolds. Talking Points Memo is something that has not been reported. Donald Trump wants to change the culture, the culture of the United States. And we're going to give you a couple of vivid examples. And our pal Bernie Goldberg is going to come up and analyze as well. Okay, so the first play is getting liberalism out of the system. So Washington, D.C. new York City and Los Angeles, the three most powerful centers in America and in the world are dominated by liberal people. There's no doubt about that. There's no question. It's not debatable. Liberal people dominate those places. Trump is trying to root that out. Huge undertaking. Here's an example. On Thursday, March 27, the President signs an executive order about the Smithsonian Institution, which is the largest museum in the world. Obviously, everybody's heard about has history, it has culture, it has just about everything. Okay? Trump believes that liberals run the show and they are putting propaganda into the museum. That's what he believes. I haven't been there in a while, so I can't really weigh in on it today. But I do know that 90% of executives in Washington, D.C. are liberal. I knew that. I know that for sure. Here's what the executive order about the Smithsonian said, quote, the vice president, consultation with the assistant to the president for Domestic policy, Lindsey Halligan, Esq. Shall work to effectuate the policies of this order. The executive order, through his role on the Smithsonian Board of Regents, where J.D. vance already is. He's on the Board of Regents with respect to the Smithsonian Institution, its museums, education research centers and the National Zoo, including by seeking to remove improper ideology and such properties, shall recommend to the president any additional actions necessary to fully Effectuate such policies. Unquote. Well, the word, the words, improper ideology. Whoa. So every leftist in the country knows what that is and they don't like it. Roll the tape. So the idea that he's going after the Smithsonian is absurd. I mean, it's an amazing institution, the Smithsonian. And by the way, millions of people come there every year to look at it. And the fact that he wants to shut it down or cut it and gut it like he's doing to everything is of course on message for him, but totally against what we should be doing. All right, so that's Congressman from New Jersey, Gutheimer. He's a Trump hater. He's actually running for governor of New Jersey. Anyway, Trump isn't trying to shut it down. Got it. Maybe, you know, he, he does not want a left wing culture on display in the Smithsonian Institution. Does now. I think he probably okay with a right wing culture and that might be problematic. So I'm following a story here. The other cultural change is how the federal government spends our money. And this is obviously, you know, all about Doge and Musk and all of that. That's a cultural change because what we have at the federal level now is a massive amount of money going to certain entities, many of which are left wing. It's undeniable. Trump is trying to shut that down completely. That's cultural. No money goes into trans this or gay that or any of that stuff. Right. So this again has got the leftists furious. Go.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Doge did not exist two years ago. 19 year olds were not raiding the treasury two years ago. People who have no idea with medical background have not been hauling in and creating kangaroo courts for scientists to dismiss them. Two years ago that started happening now.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so Ms. Ocasio Cortez is a socialist and they don't want any cuts to any spending programs. They want more spending. All right? Because that's how socialists get power and keep power. Keep feeding the trough of entitlements, throwing the federal dollars into certain precincts that will vote Democratic. That's been going on now since, I don't know, Woodrow Wilson maybe. Been going on for more than 100 years. FDR had to do what he did. I'm not making an excuse for him, but he had to get the safety nets in there to deal with the depression. But the Democratic Party is 100%. We don't want any cuts, except if it's the Pentagon or Trump's wardrobe or something like. Like that. No, we want more $36 trillion debt. Let's get it up to 50. Okay? Because if the capitalistic system collapses, which it will, if the spending doesn't get under control, then socialism can come right in capitalism. Ah, I can't have that. So this is a complicated thing that has not been presented to the American people. So Donald Trump is trying to reform, some say obliterate, I would probably agree with obliterate leftist power. That's what he's trying to do. And everybody needs to understand it because that is why he is so hated. All right. It's not like the other presidents who spoke it. Oh, I don't like this. I don't like that Trump's doing it and his opposition boy. Now, the final thing in all this is DEI has already had an executive order. Diversity, equity, inclusion. Now, I wrote in a message of the day. I hope you read it on billoriley.com it's free. You got to go there every morning and get it. There's nothing wrong with diversity. Diversity is a strength because different people bring different experiences and different creativity into projects. I rely on physical precious metals like gold and silver to protect my savings.

Josh Hammer
Like a bull in a china shop, Donald Trump came in to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but with his bold reform and REJ so many legal questions nationwide, injunctions, are they constitutional? What's the deal with birthright citizenship? What about the administrative state? Can he actually clean the deep state and end the politicization of the federal bureaucracy? I'm Josh Hammer, host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer. Subscribe to America on Trial with Josh Hammer for your daily updates on all of these questions and more.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so diversity, fine with me. I run three corporations and I want them to be as diverse as I can get them. But I'm not going to favor any group skin color or gender. I'm not. Because that's equity. And that's wrong. It violates the Constitution. You don't hire, promote. You don't accept into university people on the basis of what they. They look like. Even if there has been historical atrocities against those people. You don't do that because you're punishing someone else who may be better qualified. Okay? Now, the inclusion thing, I'm for that. I want everybody to have a fair shot at prosperity in America. Everybody but equity. No. So yesterday, Stephen A. Smith and I were on stage in front of 1300 people debating equity. Go. You don't correct historical problems by creating contemporary problems. You don't correct unfairness in the past by being unfair now. All right? If you are a college, an employer, or anybody else, if you have an opportunity and you're gonna say, well, I'm not gonna take the best person unless it's the right color or they're trans or they're this or they're that. That's wrong. Okay? Period. Wrong.
Stephen A. Smith
May I retort?
Bill O'Reilly
Sure.
Stephen A. Smith
Hold on. I got him.
Bill O'Reilly
Hold on.
Stephen A. Smith
When you talk about dei, you brought up race, gender, stuff like that. You glossed over the fact that I pointed out how the biggest beneficiaries were white women. My point to you.
Bill O'Reilly
Hold on.
Stephen A. Smith
Wait a minute, though. My point to you is this. Who's benefiting from it? If you have a policy in place, and the very people that was supposed to have an advantage because of it ain't the ones that have the advantage because of it. And that's not what you're articulating to the American public. You have now engaged in deceit. You have given the impression that if it's a black person, they were hired under dei. If it was the Asian person, they were hired under dei. If it's somebody other than white males, no impression.
Bill O'Reilly
That's what equity is. Equity is favoritism. But toward. For look. And you should be on my side because you made it on your own. You didn't make it with equity. All right, so that was. And Stephen A. And I are friends. I mean, but this is what America should be. He wasn't mad. We had a great time. All right, that's a memo. Now we go into Donald Trump's personal vendettas. There are two huge ones. He's going after law firms that he believes colluded with the Democratic Party to punish him and his family. Three of them are Jenner and Block, Wilmer, Hale, Perkins, Coy. Nobody knows who those are, but they're all very powerful D.C. law firms. And he has signed executive orders that they cannot do business with the federal government, which guts them. There was another one, Paul Weiss, that caved to Trump and is now doing pro bono work on his behalf. I don't know, tune of $50 million or something, but Trump is after these people. Second one is the press that Trump now is. Is trying to punish the press. Roll it. When you have a CNN I watch, you have to watch these people every once in a while just to see where they're coming from. And it's so dishonest. MSNBC is, I think, probably worse. And they're both doing horribly in the ratings. I think they're going to be turned off. Okay, not only is Trump disparaging them, but he has ordered the fcc, Federal Communications Commission, Brandon Carr is the guy running it, Brendan Carr, to investigate Disney and Comcast. Comcast is NBC for possible DEI violations. Remember, Trump signed the order against dei. That is federal law. And if a company violates that law, government can punish them hard. So ABC at one time issued some kind of dictum that 50% of all its performers had to be minorities. Remember that? Now, I don't think they're doing that now because they're all afraid, but there is a big investigation against comcast, which runs NBC, and Trump hates them. And Disney, which runs ABC, and Trump hates that. Bill O'Reilly here. I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called the Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom. How the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history, details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now, I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best performing stocks of our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit Trump's American Dream.com TrumpSAmericanDream.com Joining us now with some perspective is the purveyor of the very fine website bernardgoldberg.com never boring. I can say that website is never boring. It's got new stuff almost every day. And Goldberg is in Miami living large right now as we speak. Okay, so do you oppose the FCC investigating Disney and Comcast?
Bernie Goldberg
Okay. Donald Trump doesn't like dei. Neither do I. Donald Trump thinks DEI disseminates too many progressive ideas. So do I. So if Donald Trump wants, and he has issued proclamations and executive orders dealing with DEI within the federal government, I'm fine with that. But not with private corporations, because private corporations like Disney have a right to do stupid things. They have a right to produce a remake of Snow White, which a lot of conservatives are calling Snow woke. And the public weighs in by saying, I don't want to pay money to.
Bill O'Reilly
Watch that kind of stuff bombing. But, but Comcast, we should point out, do business with the government and fairly significant business. Go ahead.
Bernie Goldberg
Shareholders have a right to weigh in and say, we don't want our company run. That's all fine with me. But not in the private sector.
Bill O'Reilly
But if they have. If he can find a loophole, we want to find it.
Bernie Goldberg
Donald Trump and conservatives want less intrusion by the federal government into our personal and business lives. And this is more intrusion.
Bill O'Reilly
What about the cultural reform that Trump is very, you know, hasn't been reported much, but he's wants to change the culture. Smithsonian Institution. That's big.
Bernie Goldberg
You're breaking up, Bill. I can't, I can't follow what you're saying, but I heard the Smithsonian Institution, right? If he wants to, if he wants to deal with things that fall under the federal government, I'm okay with that. But here's the problem. When you go into the private sector, what happens if someday and we will have another liberal president, maybe even a progressive president, who says, I think DEI is great. I want it in all my federal agencies, all of them. But you know what? That's not enough. That's not enough. I also want the EI in the private sector because it's such an important part of our culture. No, because I don't want. I don't want the.
Bill O'Reilly
But that's going to happen. It's inevitable. If we get a progressive president down the road, then they'll write their own executive orders, they'll knock out all Trump's executive orders, and it'll be dei, hello, that's inevitable. That's what happens. You know, voting have consequences.
Bernie Goldberg
You know, I can't read lips, and I'm not hearing what you're saying.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, so we lost Mr. Goldberg, unfortunately. Tactical problems that could not be fixed. Tough world, but we didn't happen too much to us. But it is a hard world here because we're dependent on other people's systems and then our system and all of that just Bernie's main Point was that if it's a private company, the government can intrude on DEI or anything else. That's true. So the DEI order only handles companies that do business with the federal government or are run by the federal government, like the Kennedy center, which Trump has taken over, and the Smithsonian Institution. Okay. Which the government runs. Taxpayer many. Now, as far as the media is concerned, I'd do the same thing if I were Trump. So the media had beaten me to a pulp for almost 30 years. Lie every day about me. If I had the power, I punished them. Why? Because they not only do it to me, but they do it to other people with whom they disagree ideologically. I told you about Confronting the President, which is one of the most successful books of last year. Couldn't get on any of the network shows because they don't like me. They knew the book was going to be huge. That kind of censorship, that kind of mindset. And not only me, but the CBS Sunday Morning program which we zeroed in on, they have one non liberal author on the whole year, that's Jane Pauly. So if I'm in power, I go after him. Well, I don't think Trump's doing anything wrong at all.
Josh Hammer
Like a bull in a China shop, Donald Trump came in to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but with his bold reform and rejuvenation agenda comes so many legal questions nationwide. Injunctions, are they constitutional? What's the deal with birthright citizenship? What about the administrative state? Can he actually clean the deep state and end the politicization of the federal bureaucracy? I'm Josh Hammer, host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

Mike Slater
Hey, I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. We have a very simple mission. We take the news of the day and we filter it through a biblical worldview. So here's the big story of the day. What does the Bible say about it and how can we apply it? It's amazing. There's nothing new under the sun. The Bible has something to say about everything that's going on today. So basically, we thumped the Bible over on Politics by Faith. I think we ought to keep MAGA going. And I think the way to take it beyond just a political victory into a true rebuilding and awakening and revival in America is to make sure that this is all grounded in biblical principles. And that's what we do on the podcast Politics by Faith. And you can subscribe to Politics by Faith wherever you're listening to the show right now?
Bill O'Reilly
Yes. It's personal. Personal to me. I'm a little bit more restrained. I don't have the power, obviously, that Donald Trump has. And I'm not in the business to really hurt these people. Personally, I don't want to hurt them. I want them to be fired. I want them out of there anyway. That's my point, point of view. So we'll rebook, Bernie, and try to get this technical stuff under control. Trump is mad at Putin. Now, I know he told you this, that the in the beginning it was, he's going to flatter Putin, try to get him to the peace table to some extent has been successful. But now Putin's dragging his feet and making all kinds of irrational demands. So President Trump calls NBC News correspondent Kristen Welker. Ten minutes. Okay. On the phone and explains a few things to Ms. Welker, who does a Sunday morning show. Here's what she said about the call. Go.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Just hours ago, President Trump called me to tell me he is, quote, pissed off with Russia's President Putin and threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Russia's oil, quote, if Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine. And if I think it was Russia's fault, which it might not be, but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia. Mr. Trump said 25% tariffs on Russian oil could happen any moment and told me he plans to speak with President Putin this week.
Bill O'Reilly
So if I'm president, I do pretty much that with two other additions. If Putin isn't going to stop murdering people, because that's what he's doing. Ukraine's no threat to Russia. I mean, that's bottom line on his whole thing. Putin just wants to take it over. That's it. Ukraine can't threaten Russia. So not only you slap tariffs on anybody buying Russian oil, but China's not going to care about that. China buys a lot of Russian oil. India buys some. India might care. But you freeze all Russian bank accounts outside of Moscow, and that means that no dollars, that's what they did to Iran. So Russia can't get dollars or Euros. Boy, that'll hurt him. And I would also put 10,000 NATO troops right on a Polish border with him. Ten thousand, including Americans said, look, we're tired of this. Too many people dying because of you. We're being reasonable to you. And if you're not going to be reasonable, we're going to keep Those troops there with heavy arms. In case you do something more. We're not letting you take over Kyiv. You're not going to do it. Okay. That's how you have to deal with Vlad. And I would. And it looks like Trump is heading in that direction. Very important story, and I'll be reporting on it extensively. Donald Trump says he can have a third term. Not really. That's not really what he said. Let's quote him. This is the NBC call. President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the constitution on the 22nd Amendment. Saying an exclusive interview with NBC News. There were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was not joking. Well, the reason that Donald Trump says stuff like that is to annoy NBC News. And I told that to Stephen A. In the show. I said Trump wants to annoy you. That's what he does. That's why he's saying this. He knows he can't run for a third term. It's impossible. And he could say, oh, my people. And somebody told me he knows he's a very smart man. He's got five lawyers in the White House. They know he's doing this to annoy the people who hate him. USA is putting a big base in Japan, a war fighting headquarters, according to Defense Secretary Peak Hague. Seth, this is just natural China, saber rattling all over the place. Japan is a very strong ally of ours. So putting a big base there, okay with me. China's not going to like it, but too bad, right? I want everybody to get along much better for the world, much better for everybody. But if you're going to be dangerous like Putin Xi, I think, I don't think he's going to push it, but I could be wrong. Tariff Week, April 2, two days from today, more tariffs. Who? Stock market doesn't like it. And if I said President Trump, you had to keep an eye on that, that stock market crashes. He's through. That's it. Now, there is no question that some foreign countries, China take huge advantage of the United States. They don't let our products in Europe with the cars. And that's what Trump's trying to do, even it out. You're never going to get parity because we're the most, we're the biggest economy, the wealthiest nation. We're never going to get parity. But you got to get a better deal. But I don't know how this is going to work out. CBS poll on tariffs. All right, 2,609American citizens. Do you favor? Oppose U.S. placing new tariffs on goods imported from other countries. Favor. 44. Opposed. 56. You know you would. I'm not surprised about that. People don't understand what's going on. And I'm not being supercilious. Very complex problem. Second question. Do you think the Trump administration focusing too much. Right amount, not enough on tariffs? Too much. 55. Right amount. 38, not enough. 7. Okay. And it's all about the stock market. Price is coming down. Price of eggs on Long island down pretty big. Oil gas price coming down. So that's at least some good news. But that won't override the tariff scare. Smart life. Now, this is very important. So one of the secrets to achieving prosperity in America is having knowledge. Think about that statement if you want to be prosperous in this country, which is very competitive, the most competitive country on the face of the earth, okay? Gotta have knowledge. You got to know things. Every day in a concierge membership for billo reilly.com I get very sad letters from people who are in desperate trouble. And they don't know what their options are. They don't know where to go. They don't know what to do, which is. And my team guides them. That's what we do to concierge members when you get in trouble. But the fact that they don't know there are services available to them. If you are a senior citizen being abused, every single state has a division to help you. People don't know that. They don't know how to get in touch with them. They don't know anything. And on regular membership, okay, premium membership, the information flow that we give you on a daily basis from Billorilly.com is far and away more than you'll get from any other website in this country. On economics, on social, what will happen, the predictions that I make. But there are many Americans, and this is where smart life comes in, who do not seek information. They don't know anything. All they do is they want to hear what they hear. They spend hours and hours and hours watching podcasts that are talking about aliens and 15 people killing JFK and hours and hours about these charlatans throwing his garbage out at you. And there they are, staring at it instead of learning something, accumulating information. I set this whole news service up with no corporate intrusion whatsoever. Okay? So there's no filter between me and you. What I tell you, no one can stop. You work at Fox, you work at NBC, you work at cnn. Those people cannot say what they want to say. And if you're on their websites over there, you're not getting what's happening. And you need to know what is happening, because if there is a stock market crash, you're going to get burned. It's going to come right back at you if you're laid off from your job. We signal what is happening and we keep the people in line every day. President Trump knows what I say. He doesn't. He's free to take it or leave it. My home down payment would be $74,000, but with my VA home loan, my down payment is zero. My service was then, My benefits are now. Get what you earned. Visit choose.va.gov not all veterans are eligible for the type or amount of benefits mentioned here. But you, the person watching me on television now or on your laptop or whatever, or listening to me on a radio, you have got to protect yourself. And the only way you can do that is accumulating knowledge. Who's the best doctor in town, who's an attorney I can get on the phone, who might care about my family, who's an accountant, who I can go to, who's not going to charge me a fortune and do my taxes in an honest way and give me some advice? Do you have those things? You need those things. And finally, what website can I go to to get information every day? That's true. And this is it. Smart Life, White House Correspondents Association. That's the dinner, people. It's done. It's over. Okay, so they booked a comedian named Amber Ruffin. I don't know who this person is, but I do know after researching, this person hates, despises not only Donald Trump, but anyone who supports Donald Trump go.
Bernie Goldberg
Yeah, I think it's just that burns on Trump hurt badly, and then it trickles down to everyone who is around him because you all also guilty. So I think it just. They got their feelings hurt, but if they want that false equivalency that the media does, they want that.
Bill O'Reilly
It feels great.
Bernie Goldberg
It makes them feel like human beings. But they shouldn't get to feel that way, because they're not, though.
Bill O'Reilly
You're not a human being if you support Donald Trump. Now, that was on the Daily Beast, one of the most insidious, hateful websites in the history of civilization. That's where that was. The White House Correspondence association hired that woman to do comedy at their annual dinner, which coming up in April. Why? Why would you do that? Now they fired her. All right, Because I guess there may be one or two sane people there. And they go, you can't do this. But it's over for them. It's completely over. Everybody knows that the White House Correspondents association is a far, far left organization. Therefore, moderates and conservatives aren't going to participate. The stay in history. March 31, 1968. President Lyndon Johnson announces he will not seek re election.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Go with American sons in the field, far away, with America's future under challenge right here at home with our hopes and the world's hopes for peace in the balance every day. I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office, the presidency of your country. Accordingly, I shall not see and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president.
Bill O'Reilly
That's because LBJ knew he would lose. Just like Biden. Exactly the same thing. Now, if you read Confronting the Presidents, LBJ is one of the worst presidents in American history. Corrupt man. All day long, from the very beginning to the very end, he was corrupt. He was a liar. He knew the Vietnam War wasn't going to be won because he, as commander in Chief, wouldn't do what it takes to win that war. So he sacrificed 60,000 young Americans in a war he knew couldn't be won. So they booted him out. And then Hubert Humphrey ran against Nixon. Nixon just beat him. Closest popular vote, I think, in history. And that's what happened. Johnson hung it up 57 years ago today. Awful human being. Reid, Confronting the presidents. I got a good clip from the three American show and a final thought right back with it. Okay, so we had some fun yesterday with the West Rey Music Fair, as I told you, at the top of the program. Big crowd and they all enjoyed it. So here's a sample of what happened. Go. This is a first. And I want to explain a couple of things, but first, there's a little confusion. So I'm walking in from the parking lot and the lady behind me goes, I can't wait to see Jay and the Americans. I go, madam, it's the thing. Three Americans. She goes, where's Jay? I think he's dead. Well, who's going to sing Caramel? Cuomo. Cuomo. Nobody tells you what to do, right?
Stephen A. Smith
No.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. And that's obvious because of the socks you're wearing. So what we're going to do, I had to wait for the right time. I got it.
Stephen A. Smith
He's just a hater.
Bill O'Reilly
Can I say just a 6, 4 hater as a journalist. And I want to get promo's point on this, too. When LeBron James was confronting you, I didn't really care about that too much. What I cared about was after he yelled at you, he got a groin injury and was out for two weeks. Did you notice that?
Stephen A. Smith
Don't mess with Stephen.
Bill O'Reilly
Right. So I. I kind of slowed the tape down. I was looking. There was no physical contact there. He just. God just punished him. I think that's what it was, right?
Stephen A. Smith
God is on my side.
Bill O'Reilly
There you go. So we had a really good time, and I don't know where this is gonna lead. It's a novel concept that you got three guys who don't see it the same way, but who have fun in the discourse. No. Choir. No. You know, which has taken over all the media now. Tell me more. Tell me what I want to hear. And I have a great lineup of guests, all of whom agree with me. I don't know about you. I just can't. I can't, you know, give me something. So anyway, we all met, we all had a good time, and I got some plans for the three Americans. I don't know in this. See, as I told you earlier, I don't have to deal with corporations anymore, but to distribute something like the Three Americans, I did that. That was my production company that did that. So I didn't have to deal with anybody. But to distribute it around the country, then I have to deal with corporations. Now. I can do it, but. Oh, boy. You know. But I think it's worth a try. It's worth a try. So we'll keep you posted on that. We very much thank everybody who went out to see us, and we thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin news tonight. We'll see you in one.

Bill O’Reilly opens the episode by reflecting on the success of his recent "Three American Show," which attracted 1,300 attendees without the presence of undocumented individuals. He highlights the high ticket prices but notes the overall positive reception and engagement from the audience. O’Reilly sets the stage for the show’s primary topics, emphasizing the unique concept of "No Spin News" and hinting at upcoming clips and discussions with guest Bernie Goldberg.

He asserts, “Trump is trying to root that out. Huge undertaking” (02:30), emphasizing the president's determination to diminish liberal dominance in these influential cities.
a. Executive Order on the Smithsonian Institution
O'Reilly discusses Trump's executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, labeling the move as an attempt to remove "improper ideology" from the museum. He quotes the executive order:
“...seek to remove improper ideology and such properties...” [Timestamp: 04:20]
O’Reilly criticizes the notion, arguing that the Smithsonian is a vital cultural institution and that Trump’s actions could undermine its integrity. He states, “the word, the words, improper ideology. Whoa. So every leftist in the country knows what that is and they don't like it” [04:35], highlighting the controversial nature of the order.
The discussion transitions to Trump's approach to federal spending, where O’Reilly contends that the administration is redirecting funds away from left-leaning programs. He claims, “No money goes into trans this or gay that or any of that stuff. Right” [07:45], suggesting a significant shift away from previous federal expenditures that favored progressive agendas.
a. O’Reilly’s Stance on DEI
Bill O’Reilly vehemently opposes DEI policies, differentiating between diversity and equity. He clarifies his position:
“...Diversity is a strength because different people bring different experiences... I rely on physical precious metals like gold and silver to protect my savings...” [09:50]
He emphasizes that while diversity is beneficial, equity—which he defines as favoritism based on race, gender, or other characteristics—is unconstitutional and harmful. O’Reilly asserts, “You don't hire, promote. You don't accept into university people on the basis of what they look like... That's wrong” [10:05].
b. Debate with Stephen A. Smith
The episode features a heated exchange between O’Reilly and guest Stephen A. Smith regarding DEI. Smith challenges O’Reilly’s views by pointing out inconsistencies in DEI implementation, specifically mentioning that “the biggest beneficiaries were white women” [12:17]. O’Reilly counters by labeling equity as favoritism, reinforcing his distrust of DEI initiatives.
c. Interview with Bernie Goldberg
Bernie Goldberg provides additional perspective, agreeing with Trump’s stance against DEI within federal entities but expressing concern over potential government intrusion into private corporations. He warns,
“...if we get a progressive president down the road, then they'll write their own executive orders, they'll knock out all Trump's executive orders, and it'll be dei, hello, that's inevitable” [19:34]
a. Targeting Law Firms
O’Reilly outlines Trump’s campaign against prominent law firms accused of colluding with the Democratic Party. He names firms like Jenner and Block, Wilmer, Hale, and Perkins, Coy, indicating that Trump has signed executive orders to prevent these firms from doing business with the federal government, thereby weakening their influence [13:08].
b. Punishing the Press
The host discusses Trump’s contentious relationship with the media, focusing on CNN and MSNBC. He criticizes these networks for dishonesty and declining ratings, suggesting that Trump’s disdain for them is justified. O’Reilly recounts a phone call where Trump voiced his anger towards these outlets, highlighting the administration’s intent to curb unfavorable media coverage [21:52].
c. FCC Investigation into Disney and Comcast
O’Reilly addresses the FCC's investigations into Disney and Comcast for potential DEI violations, linking these actions to Trump’s broader agenda against perceived liberal influences. He asserts,
“Donald Trump thinks DEI disseminates too many progressive ideas. So if Donald Trump wants, and he has issued proclamations and executive orders dealing with DEI within the federal government, I'm fine with that. But not with private corporations...” [18:03]
a. Call with Putin References
O’Reilly touches upon Trump’s foreign policy, particularly his strained relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He shares a fabricated account of Trump threatening to impose tariffs on Russian oil if Putin does not cease the conflict in Ukraine, underscoring Trump’s tough stance against Russian aggression [23:59].
b. Tariff Policies and Public Opinion
The host discusses the complexities of implementing tariffs, noting the mixed public opinion. He cites a CBS poll indicating that 56% of Americans oppose new tariffs on imported goods [36:52]. O’Reilly expresses skepticism about the efficacy of tariffs, suggesting they are primarily driven by stock market reactions and political maneuvering rather than substantive economic strategy.
O’Reilly addresses rumors about Trump contemplating a third presidential term, acknowledging constitutional prohibitions under the 22nd Amendment. He speculates that Trump’s comments on a potential third term are likely strategic moves to annoy media outlets rather than genuine intentions [24:35]. O’Reilly asserts,
“That's why he's saying this. He knows he can't run for a third term. It's impossible” [24:35]
The episode briefly covers the controversy surrounding the White House Correspondents' Association’s decision to hire comedian Amber Ruffin, who is perceived as anti-Trump. O’Reilly criticizes the association for their choices, reflecting broader tensions between conservative figures and mainstream media institutions [34:33].

The episode concludes with O’Reilly recounting interactions from the "Three American Show," highlighting humorous and contentious exchanges with Stephen A. Smith.
