Bill O'Reilly
Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Stand up for your country. Now, as you may know, I have been employed as a journalist for 50 years, 5, 0 years. It's very hard for me to process that because I remember going to Scranton, Pennsylvania, Channel 16, WNPTV, right out of Boston University and beginning my repertorial career. And that doesn't seem like it was 50 years ago, but it was. But here's something very interesting. There are only two national journalists in television that have survived longer than me in the whole country. That is really something. And I'm going to put this in the Smart Life segment tonight because it's a great story. It'll never be told by the corrupt media, which hates me, but it is really an excellent story. And you'll be very curious to hear who the other two are ahead of me. Okay. Again, that'll be in Smart Life coming up. But the Talking Points memo this evening is on the migrant deportations. Donald Trump got elected because Joe Biden was incompetent and the country was reeling. But his major campaign theme was making America great again by reinvigorating the economy and by mass deportations. You remember, everybody remembers I said at the time that no way any administration could deport 15 million people. You can't. And the people who think you can are living in a delusional world. So political rhetoric is one thing. I mean, you know, you're on a campaign. Everybody's going all Right, fine. But those of us who really know how it works knew that there would be deportations, but not massive deportations, because you can't do that under our Constitution. So let me run it down for you. Number one, the Democrat. The Democrat left. See, there are some centrist Democrats. That's why I say that the Democrat left doesn't want any deportations. They're opposed to all of it. Roll a tape. You know, it's bone chilling. Every day there's something new. And today, we just saw President Trump express openness to taking US Citizens and.

Sending them off without due process to foreign prisons.
- [03:59]
Bill O'Reilly
It's anti American. But this concentration of power, greed, and corruption is oligarchy. It's oligarchy in America. Now, whoever is buying that, again, is living in a delusional world. Trump never said he's going to deport US Citizens without due process. And the man who was deported to El Salvador, Garcia, who's the left, is adopted as this martyr. Okay? He's not a US Citizen. He's a Salvadoran citizen who snuck into this country illegally. Now, he is in the system here because he did claim asylum. So they should bring him back. I've said that quite clearly. Trump administration's making a mistake not bringing a man back because the Supreme Court wants the man back. And if I'm President Trump, I don't want to alienate the Supreme Court. Period. Period. If the man is Ms. 13, that will be proven by the Justice Department. I believe he probably is affiliated with that gang. And the reason I believe it is because authorities caught him in Tennessee with a bunch of undocumented in a van. And the authorities in Tennessee did not charge this guy Garcia with anything. But they caught him. So he's not some guy cutting the lawn on Saturday in Maryland. But let the Justice Department prove it, and then you boot him. Okay, so let me give you the stats here. We don't have an exact number of how many foreign nationals have been deported since President Trump took office. There is no definitive number. But I can tell you this because we got it from ICE and the Border Patrol. There have been 113,000 arrests since the president took office. 113,000 north of 100,000 have been deported out of that crew. Okay, there are 48,000 undocumented migrants right now in detention, in ICE detention, and their cases are being reviewed. All right? 31% of those have criminal convictions. 23 have pending criminal charges. That makes 54% of all being held right now. And 46%. All the others are listed as other immigration violator. Now, that could be anything. That could just be coming across the border, overstaying your visa. But the majority of these people being held now, 48,000, are involved in some kind of criminal activity. All right, so you have the stats now that's not close to 15 million. It'll never get to 15 million. So the Trump administration has now decided that it's going to ask all undocumented people to register with this federal government and self deport. I'll get to that in a moment. Also, President Trump signed Executive Order 14157, designated the following as terrorist organizations, which means they don't get due process. Okay, Mississippi, 13, Trende, Aragua from Venezuela, and then a bunch of Mexican gangs. All right, Sinaloa Cartel, Nueva Genericion, Los Etos. All of those people, there's a list here. All right, Gulf Cartel, they're all drug and people smugglers in Mexico. So if the federal authorities find any of those people in the United States, no due process out of here. Okay? That's what the executive order says. And that will stand under the Bush Terrorist act that was passed after 9 11. Okay, so back to the Trump administration. It wants to have each undocumented person be responsible and let the federal government know what you're doing here and go back to your home country. The point person for this is national Security. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noemi. Roll the tape.

Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded. And over 100,000 illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, you're next. You will be fined nearly $1,000 a day, imprisoned and deported. You will never return. But if you register using our CBP home app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, order, and families will be protected.
- [09:06]
Bill O'Reilly
Now, I don't believe many undocumented people are going to register. They're afraid they're not going to do it. All right, I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. The final thing about this is that in any country, the federal government has to know who is here in any country. That's why you take the census, right? And in our system, the amount of people dictate how many Congress people the states have. And it goes on and on and on and on. You got to know who's here and we don't because of Joe Biden. One man, Joe Biden. We have no idea who's here, what they're doing, why they're here and I don't think they're going to sign up. All right. But it is absolutely constitutional and reasonable to try to find out what's going on with these foreign nationals. Right? There's no argument. And the fact that the left doesn't want any accountability tells you everything you need to know about that movement. And they want the foreign nationals to be here to register as Democrats and to vote their way. That's what the ultimate goal is.

Congress didn't have anything to do with this open border. I mean, they supported Biden, the Democrats did. And that was stupid. But they didn't say we want an open border. They didn't submit a new immigration law that'll let everybody in. That was Biden alone. And the catastrophe that caused, literally, I think it'll be a trillion dollars after we do it all. A trillion dollars out of our Treasury. Death, destruction. You all know about the crimes. Okay? Chaos everywhere. Money paid to undocumented people in hospitals, education. One man did that. Joe Biden, second worst president of all time. And the reason is that James Buchanan, the guy before Abraham Lincoln, was a coward and allowed the south to arm itself and rise up in rebellion. And that was worse than what Biden did. But Biden is close second now. And that's the memo. All right, the judges temporarily blocked the Trump administration from making changes the passport. So the gender people, the non binary people, I don't know who they are. Trans people. All right, they want an X instead of a male or female on their passport. Trump said no. So a judge in Massachusetts, of course, appointed by Biden, of course, named Julia Kobic, said, no, no, no. The State Department can. Can't take X out of the passports. Well, this is insane. And in. On April 16, in Great Britain, they passed the law. The British passed the law. It says no on a passport. You gotta have biological sex. You're born a man or a woman. That's it. No X, no Y, no Z, no lgbt, nothing. Now, if Great Britain can do that, we'll do it. That'll happen here. You wait and see. But this is, you know, madness. It's far left madness. Harvard suing the Trump administration. My God. So the president doesn't like Harvard. I can tell you that because I attended Harvard and he knows it, and, you know, it gives me jazz. All right, so 2.3 billion is gone. Harvard's gonna lose that from the federal government now. He may freeze another billion dollars. And Harvard's fighting back. President is named Alan Garber. Okay? And Garber is now ordered, his counsel at the school to sue the Trump administration. Quote, these actions have stark real life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, understanding of American higher education in the world. Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government's authority. I encourage you to read our complaint. Harvard will lose in federal court, but it'll have to go to Supremes. They'll go all the way up, but I think they'll lose because we, the taxpayer, have no obligation to fund ideological schools. According to the student newspaper, the Crimson, which is decent, it's run by lefties, but they try. 82% of the Harvard faculty is liberal or far left. 82%. How does that happen? It happens because the people doing the hiring at Harvard University are only hiring left wingers. I guess there aren't any smart conservatives or traditionalists or libertarians. There's no Smart people in those categories, 82%. So you got an ideological college. That's what you got. And my tax money is supposed to go there. I don't want Rush Limbaugh University financed either. Okay, if you're an ideological school, I'm not. You're not entitled to public tax money, period. That's the Constitution. The public money is for the public good. Promoting far left tenants isn't the public good. It's an ideological good. Trump's right. And Harvard should try to come to some accommodation. All right, joining us now is a guy who graduated from Harvard Business School with an mba. His name is Anson Fredericks. I got him on for two reasons. He's got a new book out called Last Call for Bud Light, the Fallen Future of America's Favorite Beer. But he did go to Harvard. He's a smart guy. He's the president of Strive Asset Management, and he knows the turf about Harvard and about Bud Light. So we'll get into both of those. First, Harvard, did I make any mistakes in my commentary on it?
- [17:18]
Anson Fredericks
No, Bill, I think that you nailed it. I think most importantly is take a step back. I think we need to be asking ourselves, should the federal government, should your tax dollars be going to fund universities in the first place? I mean, this is sort of a relic of an older time. The US government never funded universities really, until World War II.
- [17:33]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, let me stop. Let me stop you, though. The government asks Harvard, Harvard doesn't ask the government to fund their research. The government asks Harvard to do it because the smartest people, or very smart people are at Harvard, mit, Princeton, Penn, and they have areas of expertise. So the government comes in and says, look, we want you to find a cure for Alzheimer's at the Harvard Med School, and we're willing to fund your research to try to find that cure. That makes perfect sense to me. Doesn't make sense to you?
- [18:05]
Anson Fredericks
I think it might have made sense maybe 50 years ago when again, you didn't have venture capitalists. You have private equity. You have a lot of money that was going into trying to solve cancer or trying to create the next great thing on the Internet or trying to do AI because you had a very kind of nascent sort of private markets at that time. And Harvard, with $3 billion that used to spend, spent in 1970s, they could actually help create the Internet, help create these, these technological advances. Today, the government's spending over $60 billion a year. Like, you know, most things. The government starts spending money and they just keep spending more and more and more. And we're seeing less and less is actually coming out of these universities, much more is coming out of the private sector. So I actually think that the federal government, they should be incentivizing more private companies, whether it's via tax breaks, whether it's being private.
- [18:47]
Bill O'Reilly
I mean, look, it's in, in both cases, the folks watching us should know that nobody's held accountable if you fail. So the government's financing a doctor to research a disease and he doesn't come up with anything new. Doctor still gets a Fed federal money. There's no performance clause in the private sector or in the academic world. And that troubles me a little bit. All right, let's pivot over to Bud Light. So this was one of the dumbest things, and everybody knows it was dumb. You hire a trans person, Dylan Mulvaney. Right. Okay. I was looking at your book last night to sell a beer that's consumed mostly by men, straight men, macho men, sportsmen. And there is this Dylan Mulvaney person, smug, promoting Bud Light. And Lamerica goes, no, we're going to punish Bud Light. That's essentially what happened. Right?
- [19:46]
Anson Fredericks
That's essentially what happened. Actually, this is really much related to what happened at Harvard. One of the reasons that Harvard and Trump is rescinding a lot of the funds is you recall that under the Civil Rights Act 1964, you can't discriminate this of race, sex, religion, et cetera. Yet two years ago, you had Harvard's president, Claudine Gay, after Israel was attacked by Hamas, could not say if calling to the genocide of Israelis was hate speech. And this is because you had people on the left like Harvard and this whole cadre of what I call the DEI complex. You had McKinsey, who was pushing DEI studies, you had BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, pushing DEI and ESG. You had the universities doing it. And they essentially kind of follow the money bill. They were the ones that were directing large corporations. I mean, Anheuser Busch became the, essentially the, the, the poster child of what went wrong in corporate America. But a lot of other companies were essentially putting money towards supporting. Very progressive, very.
- [20:37]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, but it doesn't make any.
- [20:38]
Anson Fredericks
It was. Anheuser Busch was the one that just became the one that became the poster child of what went wrong.
- [20:42]
Bill O'Reilly
When you're in Harvard Business School teaching you how to make money, it's a capitalistic thing is, I know this dei, but Bud Light, Anheuser Busch, and you work for them for 11 years, are they that stupid? That's A question. Are they that stupid?
- [21:00]
Anson Fredericks
Well, they were because, you know, when I worked there, you never would have gotten Bud Light, the largest beer brand in America that was enjoyed by Democrats and Republicans alike. You never would have had a touch anything that was close to a political issue. You wouldn't have a touch transgenderism, you wouldn't have a touch abortion.
- [21:15]
Bill O'Reilly
So you had horses, you had Clydesdale's dragging the beer thing around.
- [21:19]
Anson Fredericks
Budweiser frogs, real men of genius. The was up guys. I mean, you got it like that's what beer was is actually brought people together. That's what excited people. That's what brought people together. But when you had this ideological capture, a lot of companies you remember, you know, Disney got involved in the parental rights issues down in Florida. Coca Cola got involved in voting rights issues. This became kind of.
- [21:39]
Bill O'Reilly
But here's what I don't understand. Why would the board of directors, why would the president, CEO of Anheuser Bush allow something that could backfire so badly? Surely they had to know that there was risk in putting this transgendered individual in their ad campaign. Surely they had to know that this was ideological capture.
- [22:01]
Anson Fredericks
At its finest though, Bill, is that you have this a European company now, so we're lot of people don't realize is Anheuser Busch is owned by a European company. This European company, InBev, has boards of directors that believe in more of this stakeholder capitalism philosophy where businesses are supposed to get involved in social and political issues. That's the purpose of a corporation in mind. They want every company to be like Ben and Jerry's. That's the problem. Those are not American values. That's not how most companies act here in the US that's where the company got into trouble. And that's where the company still hasn't apologized to this day because it's really captured by, I think a lot of Europeans and European thinking that that businesses are supposed to be kind of part of social enterprises working with the government, not for the benefit of shareholders.
- [22:40]
Bill O'Reilly
And the one that benefited was Modelo, the Mexican beer. So the book is Last Call for Bud Light. Anson Freirex. You might want to check that out. It's fascinating on how to destroy your profit margin. Thanks, Anson. We'll talk again soon.

My name is Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. I was just talking to a friend of mine who said he hasn't been able to follow the news lately. It's been too much. It's too crazy. It's driving him crazy, and he's just checked out. If you feel that way sometimes, too, I think you'll really like our podcast, Politics by Faith. We take the main story of the day and we run it through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this? It's amazing, but it's all there. And then God tells us what to do.

Okay, let's go to npr. They're reporting. I guess it's a report. Npr. Gotta love them, right? They're reporting that Hegseth is gonna be replaced. Or maybe replaced. Could. Might happen. Roll a tape.
- [24:21]
Warby Parker Advertiser
NPR has learned that the White House may be looking for a new defense secretary. That's after Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth used the messaging app to share sensitive information about US Military strikes on Yemen, this time with his family. This is the second time Hegseth used the signal chat to do this, and it was on a personal cell phone.
- [24:42]
Bill O'Reilly
Here's how shoddy that report is. All right. Shoddy. S H O D D Y Number one. NPR has learned from whom. From whom. Now you want to keep them anonymous. You say that, but they don't even say that. NPR has learned. That's not reporting. Then the White House may be looking. Maybe looking. Are they looking or not? This is just dumb, ridiculous reporting. And we're paying $535 million a year, NPR and. And PBS in the form of tax dollars. Sorry. I got my stupid phone and I didn't turn it off. Ah. Anyway, Trump, of course, gets this question, and here's what he said. Go. He's doing a great job. Everybody's happy with it. We have the highest recruitment numbers I think they've had in 28 years. No, he's doing a great job. It's just fake news. They just bring up stories. I guess it sounds like Disgruntled employees. All right, so so far, the president standing behind Hegseth. I think Hegseth is shaky now. I'm not reporting that. That's just an opinion I have. I think, I don't know. But when he was nominated, you heard my commentary. I clearly said not going to be able to do the job. Doesn't have the experience to do it. Now deep state people hate Trump. All of that's involved. All of it's involved. It is. I don't know what's going to happen to Pete, but one more and I think it's over for him. But it has to be real, not NPR'd Pope funeral update. He will be. The ceremony will be Saturday morning at 10:00am Rome time. President Trump and the first lady will be there, along with leaders all over the world. Will be a dignified ceremony. President has ordered all flags in the USA to be half mass until Saturday evening. Not much criticism from the left about Pope Francis. I watched the View today. Very painful to see if they were going to criticize the Pope. Whoopi Goldberg loves him. So there was no sniping. Just a little bit on the right. Go. Do we want to continue in a basically sad to say, woke direction in the Catholic Church, or do we want to return to an affirmation of the faith based on what the apostles handed down? Okay, that's traditional Catholics versus liberal Catholics. But we went over to the pope commentary. I hope you saw my presentation on News Nation last night with Leland Vitterd. If you didn't, we have it posted on billoriley.com and that's worth watching because I milled the migration thing into it and all of that. Malaysia is mad at me. This is an unbelievable story. So you will remember that Chinese President Xi visited Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam to try to get better trade deals with them to offset the trade stuff in the usa. Okay, well, I reported on that and here's what I said. Go. All right, let's update you on the tariffs. Chinese President Xi Jinping is going to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia. Hey, President Xi, let me just break it to you. Those folks have no money at all, okay? They cannot help you. They're not gonna buy your stuff because they don't have any money. Well, apparently the government of Malaysia is taking offense at what I said. How do they know? Because YouTube. We're all over the world. All over. Every part of the world sees the no spin news now. So according to the Edge, Malaysia, an English language business weekly publication. All right, Prime Minister Datuk Ibrahim Said this quote. Prime Minister Ibrahim strongly rebuked conservative American political commentator Bill O'Reilly for his recent remark, claiming that Southeast Asia has no money, calling his statement both arrogant and ignorant. Anwar is also finance minister, said the comment not only reflects O'Reilly's lack of understanding of the current realities in Southeast Asia, but also reveals a narrow worldview shaped by racial bias and colonialist ideology. Wow. I'm a colonialist. Okay, I hate to break it to the prime Minister. I do, but here are the stats. The household per capita income in Malaysia is $5,731 a year. A year. Okay. 5,731. By comparison, the USA household income per capita is $42,220. That would be eight times as much. So if you want to buy a little hat and you're only making five grand a year, you're not going to buy it. Okay? You're not getting Chinese takeout either. In Kuala Lumpur. You're barely eating. So, Prime Minister, I wish you the best. I've been to Malaysia. Beautiful country. Okay, complicated, but beautiful. All right. Barack Obama was partially raised there. Okay, we want you to succeed. But this colonialist told the truth. China's not going to be able to sell its stuff in your country or Vietnam or Cambodia. Got it? Now, Vice President Vance talked to Modi in India. Modi's a big shot now because India is the most populated country on the planet. And Modi says, yeah, we're going to work out a trade deal. I hope so. It better happen fast. But Modi is optimistic. Then the South Korean acting president Han says the same thing. Hahn will be here on Thursday. Now, hopefully they'll sign a deal. That's what's needed for the US Economy to have these tariff deals sign. Okay, Everybody can say, yeah, we're working out, but we need. We need some signatures here. All right. Smart life. All right. This is what I tease. Top of the show. So, January 1975, I got in my car and I drove from Boston to Scranton, Pennsylvania, for my first job at WNPTV Channel 16.

Bill O'Reilly
And I was a reporter and I worked my butt off. And nine months later, I got hired at WFAA in Dallas. Huge jump. Okay, all right. So that was 50 years ago. I looked around, I said, who in television news on a national level has more experience than I do? And there's two names. The first name, you know him well. Brit Hume. He's still doing commentary on Fox News. And the second name is Leslie Stahl, still working for 60 Minutes, CBS. Now, Hume is still sharp, okay, but he's kind of. He, he doesn't do a lot. He does a commentary, maybe a day and that kind of thing. He's not doing what I do. Stahl's lost her fastball, but she still there. Now, this is interesting. 1982, there was a TV guide story, and it was called Future Broadcast Superstars or something like that. There it is, right? And ready or not, here they come. So that's me, Lisa Myers, NBC. Stone Phillips of abc. So I want to know what happened to them, because I'm ready or not. And here I came 50 years. Now it's 1982, that, that piece. So Stone Phillips, 70 years old, is out of business, and he's been out for quite some time. He was at ABC for 11 years and NBC for 15 years, did date law and that kind of thing, but he's been out since 2017. Lisa Myers retired from NBC after 33 years, good career. 2014, she's in Florida playing a lot of golf. I understand. So this is a smart life segment. Why does that apply? The key to life. There's two keys to life. Okay? In your personal Life, finding people you can trust who love you. And in your business life, getting paid for something you like to do. If you can get paid for something you like to do, you're going to have a worthwhile life. And I like to do this. I wouldn't do it if I didn't. Don't have to do it. But I think I'm adding to the country and I think I'm delivering news that is very necessary in this time. There are certain things that you have to do to hang around as long as I have. Number one, you have to be honest. You can't be. You know, what they do today is a lot of TV journalists are paid to say certain things. They're mercenaries. So the company hires them and go, you're a left winger, you're a right winger. This is what you say. And they say, okay, never did that, ever. Not one time. I tell you what I believe and why I believe it. And nobody tells me what to do or say. Nobody ever has in 50 years. And that cost me some jobs. They tried and I said, no, I'm not do that, not them doing that. Okay, number two, you got to be. You don't have to have perseverance because it doesn't always go your way. You got to plow, plow, plow, plow. And you have a vision. You got to stick to your vision. Okay, number three, you got to work real hard. And I worked everybody. I did. Boy, I would when I worked for Jennings, Peter Jennings, whatever they needed, I boom, I gave it to them. And I made money for all of my employers over the 50 year period where I've been getting a salary. I made money for everybody. That's big in a capitalistic system. And finally, you got to know who your audience is. I know who you are. I know what you're concerned about. I don't know you all individually, but I know because I read thousands of letters from you every week. And I respect you. I've always respected the audience. I don't look down, I don't sneer. I'm not smug. And that's why I have been around for 50 years. Smart life. Okay, history. Happy birthday. Jack Nicholson. 88 years old today. Born in Neptune City, New Jersey. Terrible upbringing. Awful. You can read about it. But this guy Nicholson, he had no advantages. And he becomes, I think, the greatest actor alive. I think he's the best. Roll the tape. When you get so much publicity, you gotta get blase about it. Let's face it, Jake, you're practically a movie star. Look at that bar. Yeah, the heat's murder. Sure is. Fool's names and fool's faces. What's that, pal? Nothing. You got a hell of a way to make a living. Oh, and what do you do to make ends meet? Mortgage department, First National Bank.

Jake. And I tell you about the guy who maybe you'd like to step down out of the barber. Chairman, we go outside and discuss it. What do you think? Now, Nicholson, 12 Academy Award nominations. That's the best in history. And he. Let's see. Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, you just saw last tell best actor, One Flew of the Cuckoo's Nest. On and on and on and on. Now, over the years, I've become friends with Jack Nicholson and I'll tell you why. He's a liberal man, but he respects straight talk. And he and I have had some unbelievable conversations about Hollywood, about the United States. He is as funny as they come. Very, very well informed. And out of all the people in Hollywood, I probably value his opinion the most. I mean, you know, I don't make a big deal out of my friendships in showbiz. And I have to be honest, most people don't like me in Hollywood, but I hit it off with Nicholson. So happy birthday, Jack. You're the best. All right, back with a final thought that will enhance your life. Here is the final thought of the day. So we got a new perk for premium and concierge members. And this is a great Mother's Day or Father's Day gift. You sign up for concierge membership, you got direct access to me. Give special email. Got a problem? You want more information on something, you just emails with less than 24 hours, we're back to you. Premium membership, you get the same thing. You don't get access to me, but you get transcripts and you get all that. But for both memberships, we have the tip of the day. Now, yesterday's tip, we just started it this morning, but I wrote it yesterday with two history books that are fun to read and you'll like. And that's what I'M going to do. I'm going to do some entertainment I'm going to do some money I'm going to do. It's a tip of the day. It's on billorilly.com easy to read, goes real fast. No, not burden. And so it's really worth it to get this membership because remember they get the free book confronting Evils coming out in September. If you don't have Confronting the Presence you got to get it. So when you add the cost of the book to the price of the membership, it's like you're paying nothing. I mean I can't do better than that. So I hope you check out membership on billoriley.com I should send the premier the president of Malaysia so he knows I'm not a colonialist. Colonialist. First time I've ever been called that by the way. Okay. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
