And it was no reason for it. Nothing accomplished, Mentally unstable people, there's no doubt about it. And again, it's, you know, I have in confronting evil, the first senseless murder was Cain and Abel in Genesis, the book of Genesis, I mean, and that was, that story was put there for a reason. This is always going to be with us. Doesn't mean you accept it, doesn't mean you turn away from it. That's the worst thing you can do. So if you see an unstable person, you let the authorities know, okay, you can do it anonymously, but you let them know you see somebody who's shaky or doing something. If you see somebody evangelizing on you, you call that 9, 1 1, as fast as your thumbs can hit those numbers. And because the good people outnumber the bad people and in terrible things like this, that becomes obscured for every mentally unstable evil people. I put the number of evil human beings at 15% of the world population. The problem is that with the good people, there are not 100% trying to mitigate the evil. A lot of people turn away. I don't want to be involved. I ignore it. Nothing I can do, I'm afraid, whatever it may be, wherever it may be. All right, you got to protect yourself. We all understand that. But you also have to get involved, in my opinion. So, you know, Hanukkah is here. Christmas, two weeks away, ten days away. Geez. We don't want you to be depressed. We want you to be realistic. We want you to read Confronting Evil, digest it. Get a plan of action for yourself in case you encounter any of this stuff.

So if you are in the social media, on the Internet looking for news coverage, you get this headline from CNN and other left wing organizations. Unemployment rate hits a four year high last month, November. Okay, that's CNN, New York Times. U.S. unemployment rose in November. A warning sign for the economy. Miss. Unemployment rate reaches a four year high as Trump's economic woes continue. USA Today, US added 64,000 jobs in November as unemployment hits a four time high. Now, most people are just going to read those headlines. They're not reading a article about economics. Okay? Not doing it. Oh, the economy is terrible. Economy's terrible. Economy is terrible. Okay, so let's analyze what actually happened yesterday. So the November unemployment rate is stated 4.6%, up from 4.4 in September. There was no report in October because of the government shutdown. Okay. So it ends up 0.2%. It's not anything significant. But here's what the articles will not tell you. On the last day of September, continuing into October and November, hundreds of thousands of federal employees were furloughed. Hundreds of thousands let go because of Doge and the Trump administration cutting back the federal payroll. That's where all of the jobs were lost. Is that going to be in the article? No, no. The other thing is that analysts were expecting 40,000 jobs to be created in November and the number came in at 64,000. Higher, significantly higher. Not going to see it. Okay, so again, this is all by design that we're going to take stuff out of context, throw it out there. And the left wing media is 80% of the media, probably more. All right? And then hope that the American people rebel against Donald Trump because the economy, they think the economy is bad. Economy isn't bad. Might get that way, but it's not bad now. All right, so added to this are the distractions like Vanity Fair and Susie Wiles. And the biggest distraction came this week when Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered, allegedly by their son. Horrible. I mean, there's no other word for it doesn't get worse than that. Rob Reiner was a militant who hated Donald Trump, despised him, and a very involved person in the progressive movement. But that doesn't mean you're happy when he dies, because it's just like Charlie Kirk. Remember, the people were happy when he died. So the President comes out and says, I think it's because, 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.

But even if that's what the President thinks, it's the wrong time to say it again, referencing Charlie Kirk. You know, there are millions of people who didn't like Charlie Kirk, but you don't say it when he's assassinated. Now, the exchange caught my attention on News Nation last night between Chris Cuomo and a caller, and the caller desperately wanted Cuomo to ram these comments down Trump's throat. Okay? But Cuomo didn't do it on a show. He mentioned it, but he wasn't virtue signaling like all the other liberal commentators were. He didn't do that. Roll the tape.

Chris Cuomo (News Commentator) (13:30)

We all know to be better than that.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (13:32)

But why?

Chris Cuomo (News Commentator) (13:32)

Why? Why do you need it?

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (13:34)

Why do you need it?

Chris Cuomo (News Commentator) (13:35)

Why do you need it like it's a dog treat? Why do you need it like it's a. Oh, Chris is Okay, he gets that Trump is a monster. Look, the guy's not a monster, okay? He plays the system.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (13:48)

All right, so again, virtually every single broadcaster ran with that. Trump's horrible, but Cuomo didn't. Because Cuomo understands the bigger picture, okay? And he's not justifying Trump's statement, okay? Not doing that. He's just saying, look, this is where we are politically now. It's hatred. That's where we are. There's no detente in America. There's no trying to understand the other side or trying to work out a compromise. It's hatred. Now, you can blame whoever you want to blame, but I'm not going to be a part of it. And Cuomo, to his credit, doesn't seem to be either. That's what happened. Okay? So now every single day, it's this crazy kind of stuff, and it is affecting President Trump's legacy. Now, he will speak to the nation tomorrow night, Wednesday night, and on Thursday, we'll have a full, fair and smart analysis of the president's speech. Important speech for the president. Okay? It is because his legacy has to survive next year. He can't lose the House or the Senate because he won't get anything done the rest of the way. So this is a legacy thing. Now, final point in the memo, the White House desperately needs a rapid response team to correct the press when it lies like it did about the unemployment numbers. Okay? Lie by omission. They had to have somebody. In addition, Caroline Levitt can't do it. She's got the day to day. But a rapid response team comes out, boom, boom, boom. This is what they're like that desperately need that. Okay? And I hope the president who does follow this broadcast gets it up and running.

Bill O'Reilly (Podcast Host) (15:55)

You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News Talking Points Memo.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (16:01)

Tonight is President Trump's speech. 9:00pm Eastern diplomatic reception room at the White House. Very important speech for the president and very simple reason is polling numbers are going down and the Republican Party is very concerned, very concerned about it. So the president, according to Caroline Levitt, his press secretary, is going to discuss his accomplishments. And they've been many. If you want to be honest about it, though, his first year, he's done a lot of good things. He's going to run him down. But that sends the message that the speech this evening will be targeted to his supporters and Republicans. He's not trying to persuade people who don't like him or even independents who are shaky to come join him in the next three years. He's trying to prop up his base. Okay, so we expect a long speech. That's President Trump's style. And a lot of stuff about, you know, we've done this, we've done that. Biden is dumb, Biden was a jerk, you know, okay, I, I hope it isn't too repetitive because then viewers will tune out I'd like people to watch it, Americans, all Americans, to watch the speech. Then you make up your own mind and write me a letter. Bill o'reilly.com after the speech, Billo reilly.com Give me your reaction. I'll report it tomorrow. All right. So the president is scheduled to go down to Mar a Lago on Friday and stay there till Sunday, January 4th. Now people go, oh, that's a long vacation. It's not a vacation. He's got his office down there. He'll be working a lot of time. I know President Trump pretty well. He said take vacation. He'll play golf. He'll do that. But the president is a workaholic. I think that is accurate. Okay, so if I were writing this speech for President Trump, I would list accomplishments, but that wouldn't be the dominant part of the speech I zero in on. Look, here's the problem. We have high food prices, beach prices. Now we're getting a lot of the food prices down. Give some examples, eggs, things like that. But here's what we're going to do to get the meat down. Boom, boom, boom. Two, three things. Then insurance. That is really the kill when you talk about that cliche affordability. That's what's really gutting working men and women who have to pay their mortgages and their utilities and they have to eat and they have to gas up their car and they have to have leisure activities. Some of them are paying for education. When you see the graph for how much the house and car and health insurance are paid, charging us, it is staggering over the last five years. That's big. And President Trump has got to go in and he's got to say to these companies, look, either you moderate it or we're going to open it up, cross state lines. We're going to make it much easier for insurance companies to compete. That's what he should do anyway. But immediately you get those premiums down if you make the threat. So that would be a big part of a speech I would write. It's all about problem solving. It's not about Trump's style or anything like that, although the Reiner thing hurt him. But people will forget that. But they're not going to forget what they're paying because that is something they have to deal with. A lot of Americans in debt, like of Americans would like to buy a new car or maybe a new house. And interest rates are coming down, home mortgage rates. So more methodical, less emotional, less repetition. I'm the speechwriter. That's what I'm doing now, how this works is the speechwriter gives a first, what they call a first draft to the president. And like Barack Obama, okay, Donald Trump is very active in wording, okay? So he takes a big part in that.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (20:57)

He changes, he edits, he does his. Make suggestions about ads, all that. Obama did the same thing. Biden didn't do any of that. Whatever they put in front of Biden, Biden read, and he didn't read it well. Okay, so Trump's involved with that now. One last thing, the demeanor, situation. President Trump is not going to change, all right? He has been elected twice to the highest office in the land with no political experience, and it is a stunning historical achievement. Stunning. Never been done before. And he did it on bombast. He did it on attacking the system and his opponents. Okay, so he's not going to change, but he has to think about what the repercussions of what he does on social media might be. I would never say, hey, Mr. Trump, you have to change. That would be ridiculous. But when you're dealing with a celebrity who gets his throat cut and his wife the same circumstance by their own son, Stay away. Don't say anything. Now I understand why the president does what he does because I went through maybe 15% of what President Trump has gone through. My family was attacked. I was attacked. To this day, everybody knows me in the country. If I go certain places, I have to have security because I don't want to be assassinated like Charlie Kirk. All right? I don't want to be attacked, certainly don't want my family in jeopardy. So I understand the anger President has, and it's legitimate anger. I mean, just last night, the senator from Iowa, Charles Grassley, put out a report that backs up the FBI had no probable cause under Biden to raid Mar A Lago on the classified document thing. None. They did it anyway, and they only did it to embarrass Donald Trump to give him hardship. Now, you add that by a thousand, you're going to be bitter. I have a list. I do. I'll admit it. I have a list of names of people who have hurt me and my family. And if I could, I would visit those people, and I wouldn't be bringing Christmas presents, if you get my drift. But that would hurt my family if I did that. Okay? It would make the situation worse. Now, if I get an opportunity to right the wrong, I'll do it. Absolutely going to do it. None of those people have ever apologized or asked for forgiveness ever. Okay? They just do bad things. And not just to me. They do bad things to a lot of people. So I can identify with President Trump right down to it. But if I'm a counselor to him, certain things that he wants to say come back and hurt him and by extension, the country. That's where thought, deep thought, has to be put into your presentation on demeanor. Now, last night in Pennsylvania, Vice President Vance set the table for tonight's presidential address.

Chris Cuomo (News Commentator) (24:37)

Roll was the third day in the White House and some reporter said, what are you doing about the price of eggs? Haven't you seen? They're so expensive. And the president's like, lady, we've been here for three days. It takes a little bit of time to fix something that was so fundamentally broken. And so when I hear the Democrats talk about the affordability crisis that they created, it's a little bit like, you know, Charles Manson criticizing violent crime.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (25:03)

That is true. But it doesn't help you, Mr. Vice President, because people live in the moment. They know Biden was a screw up. They know he had no control over what was happening in the country. Any, any intelligent American knows that. Even if you're a Democrat, liberal, you know it, the facts back it up. But if that's the centerpiece, it doesn't do you any good. What you have to say is here's where we are in the moment. December 2025, the new year coming. Here's what we're going to do in this 2026 cycle. That could move the polls, but Trump will. And that's the memo.

Bill O'Reilly (Podcast Host) (25:52)

You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (25:57)

All right, Talking Points memos on President Trump's speech last night. 18 minutes. He read too fast. I don't know why. You know, sound like Joe Biden. Remember that time Biden was like on speed. Read it. Trouble is in. That bad? But he was humming. I don't know whether he had something going on afterward or not, but I kind of would have did less than a temple a little bit. Speech itself is what I reported on News Nation pep rally. And that sounds dismissive, but it isn't. It's smart. What he did was smart because the polling, latest polling, Reuters got his job approval at 39%. The liberal polls have him at 40, 39. The conservative polls have him at 45, 46. Job approval, there's a five point gap. And no matter how you look at it, he's below 50% in job approval. He's got to get it up to 50, at least among the conservative pollsters. And he knows it. And so it was a pep rally. Here's what I've done for you. I'm not going to play a lot of speech, but this encapsulates what the President was trying to get across. Go.

Donald Trump (President, quoted) (27:16)

One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail, totally failed. Now with the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that's said by every single leader that I've spoken to over the last five months.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (27:34)

All right, so the President's opponents are not going to believe that. They don't want to believe it, they won't believe it. And there's nothing you can do to make them believe it. And the President's supporters, most of them will, unless they're in dire straits, unless their whole economic world is collapsing. Most of them, I think. Remember, 77 million people voted for Donald Trump. A record amount of people voted for Americans, voted for him. I would say 85, 80% are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt a little bit more time. That's my measure. And for him to get out there and say, look, it's going the right direction was a smart move. Now, there were many problem solving specifics in his speech, with one exception. President wants to give Americans fifteen hundred dollars to put it to a health care savings account, tax free. So you build this up in the health care savings account and then when the bills come in, you can pay them. All right, that is the plan. Here's what the President said.

Donald Trump (President, quoted) (28:41)

I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that should go directly to the people. The money should go to the people, that's you. So they can buy their own health insurance, which will give far better benefits at much lower cost. It will be far better health insurance. The current Unaffordable Care act was created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health care at much too high a cost.

Bill O'Reilly (Main Commentator) (29:13)

Okay, so 1500 doesn't sound like much, but when you compound it because you, if this passes, you'll be able to put money in it yourself, like an ira. It won't be taxed. So you build and build and build and build and build. And then there, there's a formula on how the money is invested safely so it grows. That is the plan. But not everybody would get it. All right, so if you are a family of four making more than 225,000, which not many families are doing, then you would not get the money. Okay. And it will cost federal government 10 billion, it says, I figure about 20 billion. They always underestimate. Now, it's got to pass the Senate and that means it's got to get 60 votes to advance to the floor for a vote. For some reason, democrats opposed this. 1500. Why? Why would you do that? You know, so the Care Freedom for Patients Act, 20, 25, 51, 48, to advance the bill to the floor, that's not going to cut it. You need 60 votes in the Senate. Now, it might come back. They might get it if they sweeten it up for the Democrats a little bit. My solution is this. Extend the Affordable Care subsidies for one year and it is a disaster. It is just hemorrhaging money and causing the whole health care industry to rise in cost. That's what Obamacare is doing because more and more and more people are trying to get it than was originally thought. And then the deals they're making with the insurance companies, as Mr. Trump said, benefit the insurance companies, not you, not the government. All right, but if you extend for a year, then you have 12 months for both parties to come up with a fair and equitable health care law that doesn't add trillions of dollars to the debt. So that's what I am recommending. Possible. Sure hope it happens. Also, the president is giving each military member $1,776. It's a bonus payment. They all get it. It's going to cost the federal government 2.6 billion. That's okay. Now, the president doesn't need Congress to accrue that. He can do that by an executive order. So that's what happened last night. Just wrapping it up. Smart move, President Trump to give the speech. I don't think it was well watched because people are distracted around Christmas time. And anybody who doesn't like Trump not going to watch it. And you know, right away, as soon as he got off the air, I switched over to cnn. I never watch Ms. That's ridiculous. CNN was trying to punch it up like they always do. News Nation falling away. The fairest. If you're looking for fair on in America.
