Foreign.
Here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Stand up for your country. No tie today because I'm in Manhattan. We usually broadcast from Long island, as you know, but I'm racing around, I'm doing a thousand things. I should be retired, driving around the golf cart, but I'm not. So anyway, I'm giving my neck a break because I'm going from one to the next to the next. And that's why I don't have a tie on. It's not that I ran out of ties. I got plenty of ties. And we're going to be on Cuomo on News Nation tonight with Stephen A. And that'll be a big Iran thing. And this story is now perking up in a lot of different ways. And President Trump, it's daring. That's the word. What he did was very daring. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So if you listen to ABC News World News Tonight yesterday, David Muir is the anchor. Remember, I used to work there under Peter Jennings. If you watch the broadcast, 22 minutes, you would think we were losing the Iran military situation. USA should surrender. We're losing, according to David Muir,
and
I'll prove it right now. So they did 13 minutes on ABC News out of 22 on the Iraq situation. Here's what the segments were. Number one, no plan to get Americans out of the Middle East. All right, that was their lead. Second segment, concern where there will be enough US interceptors for missiles. Third, United Arab Emirates targeted by ballistic missiles from Iran. Fourth, Iran has 2,000 ballistic missiles. Fifth segment, rockets penetrated bases beyond Iran. Sixth segment, war expanding. Israeli troops moving into southern Lebanon to fight Hezbollah. No, of course, reporting on whose funding? Hezbollah. And that would be Iran. Okay, next segment, Iranian proxies targeting US Bases in Iraq. Final segment, Strait of Hormuz essentially shut down by Iran. That was it. Every Blanken sign. Segment, negative. Everyone. In addition, David Muir, the anchorman, said the word tonight more than 50 times in 22 minutes. Why did I bring it up? Shows you he's not writing a script. He don't have anything to do with the script. Okay? And he should he. Anchorman now the others. I didn't get a chance. I watched this personally. Okay? This is a research from my staff. Was me. I was sitting there. I'm Paul. Are you kidding me? Every segment, eight anti US segments. What the deuce are you doing? No. Well, we're there because of this reason. And there's deep unrest among the Persian people. None of that no, negative, negative, negative, negative. That seeps into the public's consciousness and then we have the boots on the ground. If I hear that boots on the ground said one more time, I'm going to take a boot and hit whoever said that over the head with it. It's infantry, ground troops. Okay? It's not going to happen. The American people would never accept US Soldiers in Iran. That would make Iraq look like the One day war. There are 90 million people, 200,000 Iranian soldiers. Not going to happen. But Senator Blumenthal, another Trump hater. Oh, no, roll that.
I just want to say I am more fearful than ever after this briefing
that we may be putting boots on
the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have.
But, you know, I'm fearful. I'm afraid no one has proposed that, but I'm afraid it's gonna happen. You know, I just knocked. The television broadcasters being too dumb to do their jobs. Blumenthal, what's the matter with you in Connecticut? What is the matter with you people up there? It's a beautiful state. All right, finally, I'm going to do this on my YouTube commentary. There are people in the United States in positions of power, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy being number one who rooting against the United States in the Iraq, I'm sorry, in the Iran situation, actually want us to lose. I'll prove it. And that's going to be on YouTube. So we will give you the address a little later on. It's free. And that is the memo. So today in Iran, the US Submarine sunk an Iranian warship near Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean. That's the first time since World War II that a US submarine has torpedoed an enemy warship. It was the Dina D E N A crew of 180. About 100 are dead and some of them have been rescued. They're in the Sri Lanka hospital right now. Since this began on Saturday, more than 1,000 people are dead inside Iran. I think that's an accurate. It's probably A little under 50 people in Lebanon because Hezbollah, Iran's terrorist surrogate, attacked Israel and Israel fought back. Eleven people in Israel have been killed and six American troops, as you know, in a screwed up thing in Kuwait. But overall, if you are a military historian, remember I wrote Killing Patton, Killing the Rising Sun. This response from Iran has been very weak, extremely weak. So I don't know why I'm not privy to what their arsenal is, but I don't even think these people want to fight. I think they know it's over, but that's a guess. All right, Fox News poll, usually not a reliable poll, but this one sample is okay. Democrat, 40. Republican, 41. Independent, 19. Do you approve or disapprove of the current US military action against Iran? 50. 50. Now, remember, when this first came out, CNN dropped a poll that was way 59. 41. So you can see it tightening up. Okay, American public knows the evil of the mullahs. Second question. You think Iran poses a national security threat to USA? Yes. 61. No. 38. Finally, you think President Trump's handling of relations with Iran has made us safer or less safe? Safe at 29. Less safe. 51. No difference. 19. I was on a Hannity radio show today and we had posted it on billorily.com? what more do you want Trump to do? He offered the Muellers, you know, an amazing deal, just like he did with Maduro in Venezuela, and they turned it down. And the reason, the reason that the United States decided to launch now, didn't have to launch now, was because of the weakness, because of the rebellion inside Iran. And so they pinpointed, maybe this is the time. Big risk, as I said, for President Trump, it's got to turn out America's way. It is a big risk. There's no doubt about it. Okay, so our allies are looking away. I mean, it's not unusual. We have to do everything ourself, all the heavy lifting. And Spain has told the Trump administration, you can't land on Spanish air bases. Remember, Spain, part of NATO, don't pay their dues. Socialist country. And President Trump replied to Spain, this way go.
Pat Fallon
Spain has absolutely nothing that we need
Bill O'Reilly
other than great people.
Pat Fallon
They have great people, but they don't have great leadership. And as you know, they were the only country that in NATO would not
Bill O'Reilly
agree to go up to 5%.
Pat Fallon
I don't think they would have agreed to go up to anything.
Bill O'Reilly
They wanted to keep it at 2% and they don't pay the 2%. So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain.
Pat Fallon
We don't want anything to do with Spain.
Bill O'Reilly
Spain is one of the few countries we have a trade surplus, but it's small ball. And as I said, Spain is a socialist country. Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister, and that's what they are. They're not involved with any kind of security for the eu. They don't really care about that. It's a giveaway state. I would have probably done the same thing. Enough. 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. 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. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax Advantage Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k tax and penalty free with billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau. Can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576 or text BILL to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text BILL to 998999. 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, what's the headline, Congressman, that you heard today?
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 example with 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, and Medicaid billed out in 2018, $671,000 in Minnesota. Six years later, they billed out 342,500,000X. Now you can't tell me that suddenly there was an explosion of autism in the state of Minnesota. Clearly it was fraudulent. And these are the kinds of examples where 300 million here, 200 million here, Bill, suddenly you've got billions.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay? So it's federal money that is involved, which is why you're involved. And the feds made the case Walz had to know that there were problems in Minneapolis with the Somalis defrauding the federal government. Would that be a fair statement? He had to know that.
Pat Fallon
He had to know that. And in fact, we don't have to just go based on 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 punishment and ostracize 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 Wallace administration looked the other way because they wanted those 30 or 40,000 blocked 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?
Pat Fallon
No, he said he was, you know, he was educated. He wasn't being straight and simply saying, this happened on my watch. I'm going to take responsibility. I want to fix it. And this is exceptionally bad. This is epic fraud. It's historic. And instead he was trying to just obfuscate. And that's just not going to. It's not going to pass the smell test here.
Bill O'Reilly
What was his main excuse for not taking action to stop this or alerting the FBI was going on?
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 have been 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 were 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.
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? And 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 choose in 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 gonna lose the general election. That's how bad this is.
Bill O'Reilly
Is Ellison just a flunky?
Pat Fallon
Yeah, Allison, he is smug, he's arrogant. He knows where he, what he, what he represents. The state of Minnesota, they have a perpetual Democratic majority, and 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?
Pat Fallon
No, the Democrats didn't talk about the Somali theft in Minnesota. They talked about Donald Trump pardoning. 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 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 to ask any tough questions in the hearing today?
Pat Fallon
No, no, no, not at all.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. All right, Congressman, thank you very much. We appreciate it and we hope we can 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 tax. 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. Now 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 Davy, 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, it'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 anyway. 2020 election. Sorry. So you'll remember that. The charges against Donald Trump, 13 criminal charges. Fulton county, that's Atlanta. Fani Willis, the DA. Still a DA. Fani, still a DA. That was all thrown out in November, okay? After Trump won the election. And Fani was disqualified from even investigating the case because she was fooling around with her boyfriend or doing something on tort. Anyway, newly released memos say that this wasn't even just in Georgia. The Biden administration was behind it. So we want to know all about that. Let's bring in John Solomon, one of the best journalists in the country. He's the CEO of Just the News, which has done its due diligence, as it always does, and reviewed the document. So, Solomon, there are four key revelations, according to you. Let's run them Down. What's the association? Biden and Fonny.
Yeah, it's pretty striking. First, let's remind everybody what it took to get these documents. We had a sue. We had to play three years of litigation to get these documents. And for a while, Fani Willis claimed these were all protected by legal privilege. And then she just suddenly capitulated and turned over the documents to us last week. And so this is the way our government often works. They keep their secrets from us even when the law says we're entitled to have them. But we won. And there are four really key revelations. The first and most important is that Fani Willis was working directly with the Justice Department, the Biden Justice Department, to coordinate how that she would go about creating a second level of jeopardy, a second level of cost, a second level of persecution and prosecution for Donald Trump in 18 of his cohorts. Jack Smith was already planning to indict most of these folks on almost similar charges at the federal level. Bonnie Willis job was to get them and have a second case at the state level that would drain resources, drain attention, drain bandwidth, and drain their reputations. And so the Justice Department's all in on that.
Let me. Let me stop you now. So this was during the campaign?
Yes, it was.
The indictments come out, Trump versus Harris
the first week of August, and Fonny does it two weeks later.
Right. So during the campaign, Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, Jack Smith, the independent prosecutor, both working for Joe Biden.
Right.
Okay. Assisted Fani Willis in trying to get indictments that would influence the election.
That's right.
Correct.
That's correct. Yeah.
Okay. That's pretty big. Second one is $18 million in federal funding. What's that?
Yeah. So in the middle of this effort to get Fani Willis position to bring the state charges to go along with Jack Smith's federal charges. Double the narrative. The Justice Department literally invites Fani Willis to apply for a grant which is supposed to be competitively bid. But the Justice Department actually says, don't worry about the competition. We're going to turn this into sole source. You're guaranteed to get the money. Just send us a request, we'll send you a check. This is something that James Comer at the House Oversight Committee chairman has been very concerned about. Same thing with Jim Jordan. They believe that the Justice Department was underwriting the state prosecution. And in this memo, which Fani Willis herself writes to the Justice Department, it basically goes like this. Let me get this straight. You're offering me a grant. You're telling me it's sole source, and all I have to do is apply for it. So she kind of echoes back in a CYA memo what's going on. And we're very lucky.
And that's $18 million. That's a lot of Jack.
It is. It's a lot of chunk of change. Yeah, it is. And so there is a. That's the second one. The third revelation has to do with the Biden White House. In the middle of this, Fani Willis secures an agreement from Joe Biden's White House counsel to waive President Trump's executive privilege. They privilege that every president is supposed to enjoy, that they can get advice from advisors without intrusion. Now, it was already waived at the federal level, but it's very rare in American history for executive privilege to be waived in a state matter. In fact, I can't find an instance where it was waived in a state matter previously. So this is a real consequence for future presidents. Future presidents are going to have to deal with what Joe Biden did here, which is basically, any state wants your privilege, we'll waive it as well. That's the third big revelation here. And then the fourth big revelation is that the Democrats on Capitol Hill are the other complicities. You got the Biden White House, the Biden Justice Department, and the congressional Democrats on the J6 committee, and they're sending evidence, even before their investigation's over, through the Justice Department directly to Fani Willis to give her the most resources, the best opposition research, anything she could have to make sure that they go, is
that illegal for a federal committee or whatever, these J6 committee, is it illegal for them to send what they've learned to a state for a state prosecution?
No, they can refer anywhere. I mean, Congress has broad latitude. I think the legal issue for everybody, and this is what the prosecutor in Miami, who now has inherited this weaponization conspiracy case, as they call it, is looking at, which is when you have four people working together who all overtly hated Trump. Remember, Fani Willis specifically ran on the notion she was going to go get Trump. If their goal was to deprive President Trump of his ability to win the election, if their goal was to, or the consequence of their actions was to deprive him or his followers of certain civil liberties, then in fact, those actions which are otherwise legal could be viewed as an overt act in a criminal conspiracy. So we do know from our reporting that these matters, these documents that we just got, that we just made public, have been referred to the Justice Department by members of Congress, they're looking at it. And it is likely to become part of the evaluation of that Miami prosecutor. Is this another example of a conspiracy where the desire to get Trump trampled on civil liberties, civil rights in due process.
Well, it's election interference, in my opinion. That's what it is. They're trying to alter the, the election, the vote. Okay. By assisting a woman who's obviously irresponsible. The whole case is thrown out and she was disbarred from adjudicating, but she's still the Attorney General. That's the kicker. On it. Thank you, John. We appreciate it. Let us know if anything else comes in. Just the news. Check that out. All right. Church attendance in America. Gallup poll. And it's not good news for those who are spiritual in nature. So in 2005, 59% of Americans said to Gallup that religion was important in their own lives. That number has dropped now to 47%. A 12 point drop. Okay. And going to church weekly in 2005, 43% of Americans toddled on, off on Sunday or Saturday, if you're Jewish or Muslim. Okay, so 43%. That number's down to 31% and sinking. So we are becoming France, a secular society in America. That is not good news. Because what religion does, whether you're a believer or not, I'm just talking broad picture now, is it sets up some moral standards. That's what it does. Unless you're a Unitarian or something like that, in the kind of free fire zone there. But if you don't have anything, and this is what the communists and Hitler and all these people, they don't have any religion. Okay, do whatever you want. And so religious attendance and beliefs are on decline by fear of flying. Misleading poll. I like the points guy. The points guy is usually on it. You're not on it now. Points guy.
He.
You say 74% of Americans admit to some nerves when they fly. No, the number is 48%. Half, half of us are kind of scared or a little jumpy. We go to the airport. To me, you know, I've been on so many planes and so many places, it's like I feel safer in a plane than in a car. But 48% of Americans, a little jumpy. Back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, final thought of the day. I am not going to be here tomorrow because I will be in Boston. Now, I told you at the top of the show I didn't have a tie because I'm running around Manhattan today. Tomorrow morning, I Got to go up to Boston. The reason I'm moving around so much is that we are working on a bunch of new things for the no spin news. Some of them will be what they call long form longer, you know, very. With interviews with very interesting people, stuff like that. We'll have an announcement about what we're going to do, but I'm the guy and I got to move it. So tomorrow and I will report Monday. It's going to be wild tomorrow. I can't tell you now what I'm going to do, but it's going, going to be wild. Anyway, there is a new study from Edison Research that says so called podcasts and I'm not going to use that term here, okay. People say, oh, I love your podcast. I don't do a podcast, we do a broadcast. The difference is we're fact based. We're not just hanging around shooting the you know what. Okay. And that'll hold on the long form. So anyway, for the first time ever, podcasts are more sampled by the American people than AM&FM radio talk. Okay. 40% of time, specifically in spoken word audio is dedicated to podcasts, 39% to radio and in 2015 it was 75% listening to radio and only 10%. So you can see how this podcast thing is overwhelming and we got to get in on that to some extent. But I'm going to make it different because I'm not a big fan of two hour bull sessions. I think that just wastes your time. Anyway, we'll have a lot of clarity on this. We thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin news. Want to reach me? It's billoriley.com billorilly.com name and town if you wish to opine. We will see you again on Monday. New column on Sunday.
