All right?

A (6:21)

I talked about it with President Trump. He's on it. And I told you in our last report that I did give him the information that we had because he requested it. And that's my job as an American. But, Besson, we are open to hearing what you have to say, but you should say something. I think that's fair. All right, let's sum this up. So China is not a friend of the usa. We got an American trader over there in Shanghai. He's pumping money into all of these nonprofits. The nonprofits are then sending the money to agitators we believe, okay, who are then getting people killed and disrupting all kinds of investigations on the federal level and causing rebellion. That's where we are, right? And I'm not going to lead this story. I'm not going to let it go. And you're not going to hear it on ABC or NBC or cbs. You're not going to hear it. They won't report it. I don't know why? It's insane. I mean, this Savannah Guthrie mother tragedy, horrible. But this story is covered 10,000 times more than this story about fostering rebellion in your own country. And it just. I know it's easy to cover the Guthrie story. I'm going to write about tomorrow in the message of the day. But we know what's important here, and that's the memo. Okay, Epstein files. Now, I don't cover this because I knew it was bogus from the beginning because I know Trump 35 years. I know what he does. I know he hangs with. I knew this was bs but the Trump haters desperately want to hang Epstein around him. Now, the latest information, okay, from all of these files is, stay with me. I'm going to walk right through this. 2006, Jeffrey Epstein was under investigation for crimes involving minor girls that got into the press. Trump called authorities in west in Palm beach county and specifically the sheriff, Michael Writer. Trump told the sheriff, according to the documents in the Epstein files, okay, you better get Epstein. He's an awful guy. Okay? That same year, 2006, Epstein was indicted, took two years, and he was convicted on state charges in Florida. He served 18 months in prison. Then he got out of prison, went back to doing the same stuff. You know, come on. The feds did not indict him. Now, there's a lot of controversy about that. Says should have indict him or they made a deal. I'm not an expert on that. So Trump was basically anti Epstein before 2006, but now he's on the record. So you would think that everybody would report this the way I just did and then the hysteria would stop. Nope. CNN comes out and says, well, that indicates that Trump knew what FC was doing and didn't report it quickly enough or some stupid spin garbage like that. Now, we're going to define that tomorrow a little more clearly to you about how dishonest this whole thing is. But that was an important thing about all of these people who spent hours and hours and hours trying to convict Trump of something. And now we have documentation that he was anti Epstein and actually informed the authorities in 2006. All right, I see. In California, federal judges ruled that they can wear masks. And California has no right to tell them they can't because federal law supersedes state law. Judges Christina Snyder, appointed by Bill Clinton. The judge said, though, if ISIS is going to participate in raids, they have to wear an ID on their uniform, which is fair. Fair. Okay. So that ruling came down. US added 700 billion in national debt in the first four months of the fiscal year. So it doesn't go January to January, and the federal government goes October to October. Seven hundred. Almost a trillion dollars. The Trump administration's not going to cut spending. I mean, I know the doge and all that, but there's so many things going on and the president is very grandiose. You know, he likes to move things. But there's a warning from the CBO the Congressional Budget offers, you better stop. Both parties have to stop it because that's going to cause the economy to crash. You cannot carry $37 trillion in debt and it mounts each quarter. Now we're at 700 million more debt. It's got to stop. This should be every day, every way reported. And both parties are at fault. Democrats don't want it. They want to increase spending on every level. Now, there is a poll out from the National Taxpayers Survey, okay, and it asked 800 registered voters three questions. Here they are. Of the three ways to reduce the debt, what do you think's best? Cutting government spending 54%. That's my thing. Growing economy, 32. That's too dicey. Raising taxes 13%. And that includes Democrats. Okay, second question. Indicate if you agree, disagree, the following statement. There is currently an affordability crisis in this country. Agree 89. Disagree, 11. And that's why you can't raise taxes. Okay, third question. 37 trillion national debt will eventually become a problem that has real impact on me and my family. Agree 88. Disagree 11. It's already a problem that's having influence on you and your family. Too much money being going out of the country and a lot of it's going to China. So China buys U S treasuries and all of that. Okay. Chinese banks buy American paper. But now the Chinese government is warning their own banks, cut back on that. Oh, that means that the value of US Investment is going to go down. This is a mess. Congress has got to stop it. Congress is in charge of spending Iran. So I talked with President Trump about this and I'm not name dropping. I mean, I got to report what's going on. The president would rather make a deal than bomb Iran. Why? He doesn't want to kill Persian civilians. And that would happen, and I think that's noble. So if we go in with air power off our carriers and start to bomb Revolution Guard headquarters, whatever it may be, you know, civilians are going to die, and that's going to be all over the world. So he wants to make a deal with Iran, but I don't think Iran wants to make the deal. My opinion, I don't think they're just slow walking it. And I don't see anything but the last minute that could change. When will the last minute happen after the Olympics? I don't believe it's going to be any, you know, we're giving you 24 hours kind of deadline till the Olympics are over. I could be wrong about that. Joining us now is an expert on what's happening in the Middle east and Iran, E.J. kimball, foreign policy analyst with the US Israel Education Association. So one of the reasons that you're here, Mr. Kimball, in addition, you can be a smart guy is because it's not only the USA that has to sign off on what's going to happen in Iran, but, but Israel does and Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states do, correct?

B (15:14)

That's, that's true. And Bill, thanks for having me on. You know, there are a lot of players that have a role to play in this decision. And, you know, I think your conversation with President Trump makes a lot of sense. And I agree. President Trump does not want to carry out airstrikes because he knows that it's going to lead to civilian deaths. That would be unfortunate. He wants to make a deal, but he has shown even in Venezuela, he wanted to make a deal with Maduro. Maduro would not play ball. And I think what we're seeing right now with the Iranians, they're not looking to make a deal right now. They're trying to negotiate over the terms of negotiating. And President Trump's not going to sit around and let that happen. It's just not, you know, he's not going to let them play that game.

A (16:00)

But he's got the Olympics to worry about. We got two more weeks of that.

B (16:04)

Well, that's true. But I will say, and this is where President Trump is so unique because if this was President Biden, President Obama, even President Bush, I don't think we would even be talking about this. But President Trump is so unpredictable that could he carry out this strike while the Olympics are going on? It's a question that we have to ask. And that's been his M.O. all along. You know, expect the unfortunate point.

A (16:30)

It's a good point. The unpredictability of it, certainly. But that is an inhibitor because you've got this big worldwide thing and then you, you go in and regime change. But regime change I think has to happen in Iran, but it has to be done by the Persian people themselves. And if you weaken the mullahs and their Revolutionary Guard protectors it's more likely to happen. But right now, the focus is on Iran obeying the nuclear prohibition. And I don't see a lot of regime change talk, do you?

B (17:11)

I'm not saying a lot of that talk, but President Trump has talked about regime change. He's used the terms regime change. He said to the people, you know, help is on the way. And, and that's, that's a big thing, that he put his credibility on the line there for the people. But I agree with you. He's not looking to do a regime change and own it. I mean, look, he campaigned in 2016 about nation building and criticizing the Bush administration. He's not going to do that. What we saw in what we're seeing in Venezuela is this attempt to get rid of the top and see if the next level can work with you. Now, I don't know if there's levels within the IRGC that would be willing to work with the Trump administration and get rid of the nuclear program, the ballistic missile program, stop funding the terror proxies, stop repressing the people. I think that's way too much to ask for out of the irgc.

A (18:09)

Yeah, maybe there is a new leadership, a secular leadership goes in, but we own Venezuela now. So we, we're, we're calling every shot in that country. They're not calling any. I know that to be true. Any prediction on what's going to happen in Iran?

B (18:26)

I think that we will carry out strikes. I think part of the reason why this may take a few more weeks is that a first strike by the United States will be a massive strike that not only takes out the threats inside of Iran, but also the threats in the region that could attack U.S. forces and our allies. And that's the Houthis, that's the militias in Iraq. We're talking about anything remaining in Syria, anything remaining with Hezbollah. I think it will be massive and coordinated with, with other countries. President Trump wants a win. He doesn't want a long war. He wants to go in fast and have a massive, massive, overwhelming response.

A (19:08)

All right, we have you on tape. E.J. man, thank you for appearing today. My pleasure. Thank you. It is an unbelievable story, Jerry or the jock tax. It's in California, of course, the highest tax state in the history of mankind, except for communism, where they take all your stuff. And if California could do that, they would. So super bowl is in Santa Clara, and the teams come in about eight days before the game to practice and all of that. So Sam Darnold is the quarterback of the super bowl winning Seattle Seahawks. He and his teammates each make $178,000 for the victory. Each player on a Seahawks makes that much money. You know what California is charging Darnold for playing and practicing in the state for eight days? Quarter of a million. So he loses money. He loses money by going there and winning the Super Bowl. Is this a riot? I'm going, wait, California goes in and takes his money. Now, if it's my accountant, if I'm Darnold, I don't pay it. Okay? I don't pay it. I just challenge it and challenge it and challenge. I pay the money to challenge it. I'm just gonna. You can't confiscate my winnings, which is what they're doing. So I'm gonna follow the story. The California personal income tax rate, State tax is 13.3% at the highest level. And darling, paying that and more because he's a jock coming in from out of state, Mark Zuckerberg, one of the richest men in the world. California resident. Yep. But not for long. I'm going to predict right here. So Zuckerberg, as you know, is a tech titan, and he lives in Palo Alto, very lavishly, as most of the tech titans do. He's got 11 properties all over the world, and he just bought a place in Miami. Okay. And so the billionaires tax, which Governor Newsom says he's going to veto, he did that Miami by. So if they do pass that billionaire tax, he goes to Indian Creek island and says, I am a Florida resident. Get a license, and then you have to live out of California for six months. That's how it works. Okay. So Indian Creek island is where, I think it's where Oprah lives. And the daughter of Donald Trump, Ivanka. It's called Billionaire Bunker. 41 waterfront homes, 37 million. He paid for this. Unbelievable. Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that California, you can't. You better stop. Not gonna have anybody left that's earning big money. They're all gonna leave. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
