Bill O'Reilly
Foreign. So tonight we're going to lead off with talking points on reaction to President Trump's historic success by getting the Israelis and the Hamas people to stop killing each other for at least a little while. Hamas is killing their own. Now, of course, it's never going to end. I told you that yesterday. It's no magic wand. But 20 human beings are free. And I believe the bodies of the other hostages, four have already been released. I think the rest are coming. But President Trump did a good job here, and anybody who denies that is not being truthful. However, the progressives are not going to change their view of Mr. Trump. They are going to continue to hate him. So how do they handle it? That's what we're going to report on tonight. And I'm going to run it down for you in a very methodical way. But you need to know there's vengeance in the air. Why? Why would there be vengeance in the air against President Trump? Because he's making the Trump haters look bad. He's tearing apart the progressive movement. You heard nothing from Bernie Sanders, nothing from Elizabeth Warren. I don't think you heard from AOC either. They don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. But I know what they will do, and that is move on from this story as fast as they possibly can and get in back. Right back into the Gestapo. ICE agents. Comey is a victim, you know, right back in. And that's going to happen with lightning speed. It's already happening in some of the more hysterical progressive precincts. So I don't. I'm going to pick on this guy, John Legend, and I don't really want to because he's not anyone of. I don't know, he doesn't have any sway over any of us. He has no power. He's an entertainer. He's a singer. John Legend. Cine News a lot. He's a very, very ardent progressive, but his mindset accurately reflects the progressive movement in the United States. So I'm going to use them tonight as a. As a demonstrator. All right, so you know about the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegians didn't want to give it to Trump. That's all it was. Did Trump deserve it? Yes, of course he deserved it. But the Norwegians are very, very liberal and they didn't want to give it to him. Maybe if Ukraine, if there's some deal made, they'll have to give it to him next year, but they avoided it this year and they shouldn't have that's not honest. But here's what John legend said about that. Go.

John Legend
If Trump is able to actually earn the peace prize, it probably won't be enough that he's helped bring peace to the Middle east. Let's look at what else he would have to do. He'd have to stop sending Black Hawk helicopters to terrorize people while they sleep in their apartment buildings in Chicago. Yes. The so called peace president who's ending wars around the world would also have to stop declaring war on the American people.
- [04:02]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, no. So what are you going to do? Mr. Legend's entitled to his opinion. I don't know why he does what he does. Certainly ain't going to help his record sales. He's an extremist. I don't feel anybody's declared war on me or anybody I know, all right? I know a lot of liberal people. I don't see any war. I don't see Black Hawk helicopters swooping down terrorizing people as they sleep in Chicago. I don't see any of that. Maybe I'm missing it. Maybe I'm just not skilled enough to absorb the information that John Lennon and his cohorts in the progressive movement have absorbed. Okay. I'm just not smart enough to get it. But that what he just said is what they believe. Because people believe what they want to believe then. And you're never going to convince them ever in a million years. Okay? Now part of the subterfuge here, excuse me, is that Legend doesn't like Israel. You know, I always like to know who I'm featuring on the no spin news. So he doesn't like Israel at all. Roll the tape.
- [05:24]
John Legend
No matter what political disagreements and political animus and anger we have at Hamas and the leadership in Gaza, those kids are innocent.
- [05:36]
Bill O'Reilly
Yes.
- [05:37]
John Legend
And I don't believe in collective punishment. And I believe that their lives are just as valuable, just as valuable as Israeli lives or any, any other lives. And so I want foreign policy to be conducted with that in mind.
- [05:55]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay? So according to Mr. Legend, if Hamas attacks our country, United states and kills 1200Americans, and I hope Mr. Legend would be spared, okay, we can't go after Hamas in Gaza. We couldn't use U. S. Military power to avenge or punish the terrorists who killed the 1200, just as they did in Israel, because innocent children might be killed. And that's true, they might be killed. But you don't do anything. What do you do? John legend doesn't know. The brutal truth is that Israel defeated Hamas and downgraded its leadership and created A lot of problems for that terror organization, but in the process, 50,000 civilians, that's my estimation, were killed in that war. And whose fault is that? Well, legend would blame Israel and the United States because we support Israel. Now, he might blame Hamas, too, but he said, clearly, I don't believe in collective punishment. Well, what are you going to do then? You just let them get away with it and then they run back and hide behind their children and you don't take any action because you don't believe in collective punishment. It's just dumb. And that is my big problem with the progressive movement. It's stupid. It has no solution to any problems. These are pie in the sky. People think that they're noble and that they have a higher moral ground than anybody else. Boy, oh, boy. I usually ask potential criminals to have a seat, but now I'm asking you to join me, Chris Hansen, for my new series, have a Seat with Chris Hansen. Guests each week are fascinating personalities who are grabbing headlines, making waves, or changing our lives for the better. Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, available wherever you get your podcast. Can you imagine if Kamala Harris, because she is a progressive president, you think those Gaza hostages would have been released? Come on, even Kamala's husband doesn't think so. All right, President Biden finally weighed in. I was waiting and waiting and waiting, and George W. Bush hasn't said anything. Bill Clinton did. All right, Bill Clinton issued a very strong statement in favor of Donald Trump's actions. But Biden was late to the table because his crew had to get around. They had to write it, they had to debate it. He had nothing to do with it. And here's what he says. Quote, my administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, to get released to Palestinian civilians and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get his renewed cease fire deal over the finish line. Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle east is on a path to peace. Maybe I don't believe it's on a path to peace, but I believe the situation is a lot better now than it was now. What about Biden's administration? They did try somewhat, but failed to get the hostage release. I was involved in that. And at the end, the very end of Biden's presidency, in December of last year, 24, there was movement and there were hostages released in January of 25. The Biden administration was part of that, but the big part of it was Trump coming in. And I'm gonna, I'm not gonna go through what my role was now, but I will down the road. So I know what's going on here. I didn't object to Biden's statement, by the way. I object to Biden's presidency. It was a disaster for the world and for this country. But the statement was, okay, finally, let's wrap this thing up. It's not going to change. The progressives hate Donald Trump. The liberal media, which is about 80% of it, is not going to change its posture unless something like CBS happens, where company is sold, CBS was sold, new ownership, Disney, NBC, cnn, they're gonna stay the same. Essentially. No kings. I don't think we have a king. If we did, the king would have beheaded a lot of people over the weekend. Right? It was a quick weekend for me. I was upstate New York, trying to get a little foliage thing going on and foliage. So. So this year. But I was tracking the no Kings protest. There was one up in Kingston, New York, right close to the Hudson River. And it was, you know, decent crowd. It's a small town, and we were out there and I didn't engage, but I was very curious to what kind of people were there and what the tone of it was. I gotta tell you, I was impressed with the rallies across the country, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. Not a press, politically, because I'm not on the side of the people who hate Trump and think he's the devil and he's Hitler and the country's going down a drain. I don't see it that way at all. I think Trump is divisive. He's not a uniter. He has a vision. He's carrying out the vision. He succeeded in neutralizing Iranian nukes big. Succeeded in getting 20 hostages. Big. I think he's going to get a deal in Ukraine, just my opinion right now. But I think it's trending in that direction. Oil prices here are coming down. You may know that. They're coming down pretty hard. And food prices, I don't know what's going to happen. So I don't see him as a disaster at all as far as being a technician in the White House. The people who were, I saw, were very emotional about hating Trump. And it's fine. They have a perfect right to hate him. Just don't act out. And they didn't. And that's what impressed me. So here are the numbers. We can't get an accurate assessment of how many people protested on Saturday. The organizers say 7 million. It seems A little high. To me. Chicago is a big one. A quarter of a million. D.C. 200,000. New York was kind of a bomb. 100,000. That's not a big protest for New York. Very liberal town, Louisiana. They can't count them because there's not enough police to do it. Louisiana is such a disaster. But arrests very, very few. 12 in LA, 13 in Denver. Portland had some people trying to destroy the ICE headquarters. So that was serious, but there weren't a lot of them. Chicago had 15 arrests. So, you know, when you have millions of people out there and you don't have any violence, looting and arrests, that should be applauded because again, dissent is a vital part of a democracy. You've got to be able to dissent even if you don't agree with the offset. And I don't agree with the progressive left at all. I think they have done more harm to this country in, I don't know, 20 years than the Democratic Party did in 100 years. It's a progressive far left that really is damaging this country, in my humble opinion. However, if they want to go out and demonstrate, all right, and it's not hard to get people out. 75 million people voted for Kamala Harris. That's a big pool, okay, to choose from. Not hard to mobilize people. And then there were the organizers, the ACLU, a group called Indivisible. That's a Soros funded group. 5501 Movement, move on. American Atheists, Tax Fairness, Blue Future, LBQ stuff. Black Struggle Organization, Planned Parenthood, Pride at work. You know, I mean, all of these are far left groups, every one of them. And Soros pumped an enormous amount of money into those groups, probably more than a billion dollars. So this isn't anything that's unusual. You got huge money behind them. You got 75 million. They didn't like Trump. You got. That's a big crew to choose from. So they got them out there anyway. The criticism of the President, I watched that, had my staff watch it too, was general roll the tape. But primarily my, my biggest focus today is ice. What they're doing is unconstitutional.

Alan Dershowitz
It's not fair.

Bill O'Reilly
It's terrorism. Okay? So it's like, you know, the country's fascist country now and it's going down a drain. And no, no, no, no. Everybody should be rooting that we, the United States get a good deal with China, but everybody isn't. And I don't respect those people. You got a problem with me if you're in that category, rooting against your own country because you hate Trump. Guy named Richard Haas, the liberal guy was on all the liberal stations. Here's what he said about Trump's trip. Go. This could not have gone better. Let's just take a step back. Japan is arguably the single most important ally of the United States, the world's third largest economy, one of the most powerful militaries. If you want to deal successfully with China, you need Japan on your side. Now, he said that to all the lefties watching Ms. They're very, I don't think they break a million now on any of their shows. But, you know, it's notable that he said that. Of course, the Ms. People. Oh, what about the White House? I'm agnostic on this. I'm going to write a message of the day for tomorrow billorilly.com about the history of changing the White House. It's not going to be boring. Our pal George Will, who despises Trump, is coming down on Trump for the renovations. You know, he's like, crazed. I don't care one way or the other because it doesn't cost the taxpayer any money. Trump raised all of the money himself and his friends. All right, so 37 donors. Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Comcast, T Mobile gave him the money and he's building a new ballroom. Is this a big deal? I don't think it's a big deal. He, Donald Trump wants the United States to be the grandest nation in the world. And he didn't like the confined space where you had to run events in tents out in the White House Rose Garden. So he revamped the Rose garden and now he's doing the big ballroom. Okay. Would I have done it? Probably not. But, you know, but anyway, I'm going to put it in the proper perspective, so you might want to read that. There is a poll. Yahoo poll. Okay. Do you approve or disprove of the plan to add 90,000 square feet for a ballroom to the White House? Approve. 25%. Disapprove. 61. Not sure. 14. Now, I'll submit to you that most people don't even know what this is about. Second question from Yahoo. Do you approve or disprove of funding the ballroom with 300 million in private donations from corporations? Approve. 32. Disprove. 53. Why would you disapprove of that if they're going to pay and it comes out well, why would you disapprove of that? Crazy. Not a big deal. Since President Trump was inaugurated in January, Democratic Party has tried to smear him with Epstein try to tie Mr. Trump to crimes that Jeffrey Epstein committed. They do it every day, all day. That's what they want to do. There is no evidence that that happened. None. Okay, so Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight leak some emails out to the press, and the press goes nuts. I looked at the emails. Nothing there. There's just nothing there. And even worse, there is innuendo that could get people hurt. That was always from the very beginning, that President Trump asked me on St. Patrick's Day at the Oval Office, would you release the files? And I said, yeah, if they're verified. But if they're not verified, if it's rumor, you haven't. Justice Department hasn't nailed down, remember, two Justice Departments, Merrick Garland and Trump won, William Barr. Those things been investigated like crazy. Okay? So I've said if there's evidence that somebody was hanging with Epstein, he got put up. But if it's just a rumor, no people get hurt. Okay? So they throw this stuff out. And again on News Nation, here's what I said. Go. If you are asking for unverified information about a heinous crime and criminal to be given to the public. Unverified. Now, remember, the Justice Department under two administrations had this information, not verified it. If that's what you want, then you need to read my book, Killing the Witches, because that's the kind of country not what they want, will have. No, that is what they want. They want. They being the Trump haters. All of everything the Justice Department has on Jeffrey Epstein and Cuomo, to his credit, at the end of the segment, said, I want everything. I said, well, what if people get hurt? Innocent people? No, we ought to know. How do you know? You can't know. You can't investigate it. I'm right on this. But the bigger picture is that due process is really under fire in this country, okay? Now, whether you care or not, there is exculpatory evidence in Donald Trump's favor, and it's very powerful evidence. The three principles involved with Epstein, who committed suicide, as you know, were Ghislaine Maxwell, Virginia Giuffre, who was molested, and Alan Dershowitz, who was Epstein's lawyer. They are the three principal witnesses to what Epstein did. Okay? All three said Trump wasn't involved with anything untoward. All three. Now, that's enough reasonable doubt that will never get to court in any way, shape or form. That that gets thrown out in 10 seconds when you have three people on the record who had access to Epstein, all saying Trump didn't do anything. All right, Now, Dershowitz is the most powerful witness because once Epstein was dead, then attorney client privilege disappears. Here's what Dershowitz said yesterday.
- [23:23]
Alan Dershowitz
I was Epstein's lawyer. I was trying to make him the best possible deal I could make. That's my job. That's what I'm supposed to do. And among the questions I asked him, as any lawyer would, is can you name people who may have had improper sexual relationships with anybody? And if we can turn those people over to the government, we can maybe get you a better deal. And then I went through a variety of names, including Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein said, no, Trump didn't do anything wrong.

Bill O'Reilly
All right, so what more do you need? Doesn't matter. The press ran wild last night, okay? ABC World News Tonight spent 4 minutes, 23 seconds on the story. NBC Nightly News, 4 minutes, 2034 seconds. CBS TV News, 2 minutes, 7 seconds. Cable. These are estimates on cable because you have a three hour prime window. Prime time. Cnn, one hour and ten minutes out of the three. Msnbc, a whopping two hours, nine minutes. Fox News spent five minutes. Okay, so this is just crazy. But it gets worse. So there's a congresswoman from New Mexico named Melanie Stansberry. Roll it. Secondly, whether or not Virginia Giuffre has accused the President of wrongdoing, what I'd like to say to the American people is believe your eyes. We have all seen the photographs of Donald Trump with underage girls sitting on his lap. There are no photographs of Donald Trump with girls on his lap. So either Congressman Stansberry is lying or she got faked out by some AI thing or whatever. There are no photographs. Now the House Ethics Committee should absolutely drag her in and say, what the deuce are you doing? Second, a guy named Rick Stengel, Trump hater, okay? Who used to be a journalist, then he was a Democrat. Whatever. Roll him. I mean, the idea that he calls.
- [25:45]
Alan Dershowitz
It a hoax, and all day long people can watch on television, them leering.
- [25:49]
Bill O'Reilly
At girls at parties and things.
- [25:51]
Alan Dershowitz
It's like, well, gee, it's not a hoax. So I think it has legs and it should. And it is the sort of thing.
- [25:58]
Bill O'Reilly
That could undermine the basis of his presidency. Again, it's not true. There's no evidence of the President leering at anybody. Now, you would think that the news agencies that put these people on CNN and MSNBC would challenge no, because they don't care what happened. They want to get Trump. Finally, there was a very disturbing X file from Eric Swalwell. You may remember that name. He probably the worst Trump hater in the country, represents California. He says, quote, the government was shut down for 40 plus days to protect Donald Trump. People weren't paid, credit was destroyed, tenants were evicted. All because pedo protector Mike Johnson sought to shield Donald Trump. But it's coming out now. Pray for these women Trump Epstein terrorized. Now, if I'm Donald Trump and that goes out on X, I sue Swalwell. But do I win? So herein is the complication of living in the United States of America.
