But first, the Talking Points Memo. The Trump administration hits a wall. All right, so he's everywhere and he's paying a price for it. His hands hurt. He slashed over a little bit. He's tired. There has not been a president in modern history in the first seven months who has tried to reform the government as much as Donald Trump has. That is a true historical statement. FDR would be second because he walked into the Great Depression. But half the country doesn't want reform. Half the country still supports the Democratic Party. That didn't want to change one thing other than raise taxes. Violence, okay with them. Ukraine, war, nothing. Gaza, nothing. So the people who support the Democrats, and there are millions and millions of them, okay, they don't want to reform at all. So that Trump is up against that, but he doesn't really care. He made promises and he wants to keep them. But right now he's stalled. Let me back it up. So you've got Ukraine, which Donald Trump thought he would solve very quickly. But Putin is not the same president that Trump dealt with five years ago. Putin now is a certified psychopath. He does not want to stop the killing. Very hard to negotiate with a person like that. China trade has stalled. This is huge. Xi playing a little bit of a game, waiting to see if Trump can get anything out of Putin. And finally, you got the Hamas situation just today. Two Palestinians assassinated six innocent people in Israel just today, okay? And Hamas applauded it. You know, you anti Israel people out there, if you don't see the evil coming out of Hamas and those terrorists, then don't read my book. There's nothing I can do for you. I opened the book with the October 7th attack just to Put you in the middle of evil. But if you don't believe it at this point, forget about the book. Be a total waste of time for you. All right, so Trump is stalled on all three of those things right now. It frustrates him. Okay, then he's got the economy, which right now people are worried about. And I'll give you the poll numbers in a moment. But let me give you the economic numbers, because they're very, very important. So unemployment in the USA is 4.3%. Okay. Four years ago under Biden, it was 4.8%. Inflation right now is 2.7%. Four years ago, 5.4%. So obviously, the nation is better off now than it was four years ago under Biden. Not even debatable. But Trump promised, and this is why he got elected. All right, Economic relief, now, that's a little dicey. According to Reuters poll. And that Reuters is so. So most Americans are worried. Do you approve of the way Donald Trump is handling employment and jobs? Approve. 38. Disapprove. 51. That's not a good number for the president. Do I believe the number is accurate? Not really, but I do believe that Trump has got. People are waiting to see, but they're not happy right now. I think that's accurate. CBS poll, again, questionable poll. Do you think the U.S. economy is getting better? 27%? Worse. 56%. That is a tough number. Staying the same. 17. Okay, so you are looking at. And by the way, I hate by the way, but in addition, that's a better phrase. November 24th, after Trump was elected, getting worse was 42. It's now up to 56. Why? It's because of the grocery store. Primarily gas prices in my neighborhood on Long Island. They're coming down a little bit. They're not as bad as they were under Biden. And you could see that the oil supply is rising. That I think will continue. But food prices, the truth is the grocery stores and restaurants do not want to drop these prices. And Trump can't force them. They don't want to drop them. Food companies don't want those prices going down. That's really a tough problem. It's almost like Putin. So you're trying to deal rationally with these problems, can't deal with an irrational man. Putin got to force him. Okay? And the US Companies are going, I don't want to draw my purse. I'm getting it. People have to eat. So why do I want to drop them? The only way that happens is if competition steps in and some lower their prices, then the others almost have to do it. Very, very difficult. So at this point, the Trump administration has lost some momentum. However, next week, interest rates will probably be cut. That could provide a storm surge for Trump. I don't know if it will. Nobody can predict these things. The tariffs a little bit further out could go either way. And that's the memo.

So as everybody in the country knows, the the Democratic Party has decided to be soft on crime and soft on illegal immigration. This is a decision that was made by the progressive leadership which held a president of the United States, Joe Biden, hostage for four years. And that's the historical truth. There's no two sides to the story. The Democrats are soft on crime. You see it in all of the blue states. No bail laws, permissive social order, zoning, all of that. How many times we have to see pictures of San Francisco and LA and Chicago and Baltimore and St. Louis and New York City and on and on and on. How many times? How much body count do we have to have after murder, after murder, after murder, after murder. And the Charlotte thing capped it. This young woman from Ukraine, the Guy was arrested 15 times and he stabs her to death for no reason on a bus. And he should never have been out on the street. Charlotte, North Carolina, I mean, it is all over the place. And Charlotte is run by progressives. Okay, so there you go. North Carolina is not a progressive state, but Charlotte's a progressive city. 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.

There was a judge's order in California, of course, this judge, and I'm going to say her name very slowly, was appointed by President Biden. Her name is Mamie Osimhen. Osimhen Shah Frimpong. That's quite the name. Mamie Ma Minosi Men Shah Frimpong. I'm sure I butchered it. All right, she looks like a nice woman. So she said, hey, Homeland Security ice. You can't stop Hispanic people or people speaking Spanish. You can't do it. In pursuit of illegal migrants. Boom. All right, so that lawsuit was bought by the United Farm Workers and the Los Angeles Worker Center Network. A lot of them are communists. And the judge said, sure, I'll stay it because this is what I believe. We don't want any mass deportations. The state of California, run by progressives, doesn't want to deport most foreign nationals here illegally. Nor does New York, nor does Illinois, nor does Maryland, nor does Massachusetts. On and on and on. They're happy. You never heard them object to Biden's open border, those politicians. Ever. There's always excuse after excuse after excuse. Anyway, Supreme Court takes a look at the lawsuit and the non liberal judges, the six of them go, no. Okay, throws it out. So there will be other hearings. But for the time being, the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security can question and stop anyone they want in California. It's a big victory for Donald Trump. Okay. Another constitutional issue is developing in Chicago. This is why Trump has not sent in the National Guard yet. Was easy to do in D.C. because the feds control the District of Columbia. Not so easy to do in an independent city with no ties to the federal government other than grants because of the Posse Comitatus law that's in the Constitution. And you can look it up. Okay. Can use US Military for law enforcement purposes. That's that's it in a nutshell. So the left, progressives in Illinois and Chicago are screaming, we don't want the guard. We don't want the guard. We don't want the guard. We've reported it. You've seen it. You know it. Okay, so in this situation, you have thousands of people murdered over the last 20 years in the black neighborhoods. 80% of the victims African American. Nothing has been done, nothing to stop victim carnage, because the drug gangs control the south side of Chicago, and nobody's going to testify against them, just like the Mexican cartels. If you do, you're dead. And the Chicago authorities cannot control it. So the only power in the United States that can control it are the federal government. That's it. But the real evil here is that the progressive leadership doesn't want to control it. So if your house is burning down and a federal fire truck rolls in and says, look, we'll help you put out the flames. You accept the help, right? Unless you're insane. That's what President Trump did. Look, we'll tamp this murder thing down for you by helping you by blanketing these neighborhoods with law enforcement so that the drug gangs can't come out and do this. No, we don't want it. All right, I'm going to run you another sound bite. I hate to be repetitive, but these people are doing evil things. Governor Pritzker is doing an evil thing, and so is the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson. Go. It's a terrible waste of resources.
A
It literally is going to cost hundreds.
B
Of millions of dollars for the federal government to do what they're trying to do.
A
And it has no purpose related to crime. It is only related to interrupting the elections in 2026.
B
There are multiple motives that the president has right now. One, his ultimate motive, of course, is to bring federal troops, the National Guard, into the city of Chicago and cities across America to cause chaos, to justify martial law. I mean, this is, you know, a direct play from the playbook that comes out of, you know, our fight for civil rights. So Prisca says, because Trump wants to win an election and Johnson says this is a civil rights, we want to roll back civil rights for African Americans. I mean, he's a loons. He's a loons. Now, I'm not going to say there isn't a political component in this for Donald Trump. There is. All right? There's no doubt about it. He wants to be the law enforcement president. That's the truth. Biden couldn't care less. Obama's hometown, Chicago. What did he do in eight years, tamp down a murder? Nothing.

So Poland has triggered NATO's Article 4. Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported Russian drones breached Polish airspace during an overnight strike. Okay, so the Kremlin, Putin said Ukraine did it or some stupid thing like that. I don't know whether Putin did this on purpose or his military is just incompetent. I don't really care. I know that Putin wants to cause as much trouble in the world as he can, and he's succeeding. That's what I know. So 19 Russian drones were intercepted by Polish missiles and NATO defense systems. None got through. All right, they see the map that Poland is right on the border, Russia and Ukraine, and is in the kill zone, literally. So the upshot of this is that now NATO and America are going to have to confront Putin. They have to. Here's what the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta said. Go. Last night, numerous drones from Russia violated Polish airspace. Our air defenses were activated and successfully ensured the defense of NATO territory as they are designed to do. Several allies were involved alongside Poland. This included Polish F16s, Dutch F35s, Italian AWACs, NATO military role tanker transport, and German patriots. I commend the pilots and all who contributed to this quick and skillful response. Now President Trump is talking to the Polish president and we'll have more on that tomorrow. Trump's going to have to say something, but more importantly, he's going to do something. Now, I have not Monday morning quarterback Donald Trump on this because I understand the danger.

Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of. You do. So ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F150 and build your dream with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a Mustang? Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Ready, Set. Ford.

Find out more@nytimes.com family that Putin poses because he would use nuclear weapons. It's another reason you need to read Confronting Evil to see just how bad this guy is. He is a psychopath, right? He's worse than he was, far worse than when Trump was dealing with him six years ago, because he has absolute power in Russia. So Russia's got 150 million people. It is the largest landmass on earth. All right? The country is enormous, and Putin has unlimited power. Whenever you give a human being unlimited power, the person goes crazy. And that's one of you'll see in the book. All right? Leader after leader after leader after they absolutely bonkers because there are no restraints. And if you are evil to begin with, that evil just heightens. And that's what's happened to Putin. But I had his number from the very beginning. You will remember a soundbite that went worldwide on February 5, 2017. This was right before the Super Bowl. I interviewed Donald Trump about many things, but zeroed in on Putin. Go. Do you respect Putin? I do respect him. Why? Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get along with him. He's a leader of his country. I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against I isis, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world. Right. Major fight. That's a good thing. Will I get along with them? I have no idea. Putin's a killer. A lot of killers. We got a lot of killers. Why you think our country's so innocent? Do you think our country is so innocent? I don't know of any government leaders that are killers in the America. Well, take a look at what we've done, too. We've made a lot of mistakes. All right, so Donald Trump did go into his second term believing he could reason with Vladimir Putin. He didn't lie when he campaigned, said, oh, I'll solve Ukraine wider way. That wasn't a lie. It just was a false perception because Putin, as I said, have changed. You need to know, all right, about what the danger is over there, because it could get out of control. And the kicker on this is the Iranians are the same as Putin. There's no level of evil. It's 911 weak. We didn't even have 9 11. It never would have occurred at the ayatollah and taken over. And the Persian people allowed them to. But they didn't have nukes. Trump prevented them from getting nukes, and we'll prove that coming up in this broadcast. This is a very key thing on 9, 11 a week. But I believe that Back against the wall, Putin would use nukes. Gotta be very, very careful here. You can't allow him to go any further. This is it, all right? You gotta slap every economic sanction you can on Putin right now, right this week. And you gotta send a message that I would mobilize NATO troops, I would mobilize them now into Poland. All right? You got to send a message because that's it. Talking, not going to do anything. The other thing in Confronting Evil that you'll learn is Putin's own personal DACA in a Black Sea. I describe it down to a T. This is unbelievable research. And there is something inside that DACA that bolsters my belief that this man would use nuclear weapons. Tactical, you know, he's not going to drop the bomb on New York City. That's impossible. But he could certainly drop low level nukes and cause a nuclear war, because we'd have to reply in kind.

So the Talking Points memo is the rise of evil in the USA and around the world. It's hard to put into words how dangerous this time is. And it happened in modern times only once before in the 1930s. The result was 100 million people being killed. In World War II. The United States defeated evil and we had help, but we did it all right? Primarily. And if you read Killing Patton and Killing a Rising sun, you know all that. But now the United States is not engaged in battling evil any longer. Putin's got to be stopped. Got to be stopped. It's, it's, you cannot be shooting missiles into Poland, a NATO member. You got to be stopped. And the reason that President Trump is being very deliberate is because Putin has nukes and he'll use them and that. It's not like Iran. When you bomb them, they can't do anything about it. But Putin. Cover my book. Okay? There he is. So is the Ayatollah. 911 never would have happened except for the Ayatollah. He's right on the book anyway. Evil is a threat to every single person in the world, yet many of us in America look away. They're not going to read Confronting Evil. They're not going to learn about history, how to defeat it. They don't care. They want to be on the Internet. They want to be on social media, watch the football games all weekend. They don't want to be involved with reality. Got to stop now. I think Mr. Kirk's murder will get the attention of a lot of apathetic Americans. Has to, has to. Particularly younger people. And that may be his legacy, that things change. We're going to go through that. Here's my summation last night on News Nation. Go. We are entering a new age of evil. The last age that we had was in the 1930s with the rise of the dictatorships all over the world that led to 100 million people dead in World War II, the Holocaust, on and on. Now I wrote this book, Confronting Evil, to signal people that it was coming. And it was a harrowing day for me today. I was born today in 1949. And I got up and the first thing I heard was that Putin shot missiles into Poland. Ultra dangerous. All right. Putin is as evil as they come. He's on the COVID of Confronting Evil, my book. He is a psychopath who is looking to slaughter human beings. That's what he wants to do. You don't shoot missiles at a NATO member unless you are trying to upend the entire world in an evil way. And then a few hours later, a few hours later, we had the Charlie Kirk assassination on the eve of 911 where we lost 3,000 people to evil. So I started the books research and writing about a year ago. And I knew, as you say a lot in your monologue, that things are deteriorating not only in the United States. This is not an American problem. This is a worldwide problem. And my opinion that I inject into the book, backed by facts, is that too many people in the world and in this country are looking away. We are looking away. Away. And we are allowing evil to gather power. What do you think makes the perfect snack? Hmm. It's gotta be when I'm really craving.
A
It and it's convenient.
B
Could you be more specific?
A
When it's cravinient.
B
Okay.
A
Like a freshly baked cookie made with real butter, available right down the street at am, pm. Or a savory breakfast sandwich I can.
B
Grab in just a second at a.m. pM. I'm seeing a pattern here.
A
Well, yeah, we're talking about what I.
B
Crave, which is anything from am, pm. What more could you want?
A
Stop by AMPM where the snacks and drinks are perfectly craveable and convenient. That's cravingience ampm, too much good stuff.
B
Now, the progressive movement does not want to punish evil. They're soft on crime. They don't believe that most criminals should be incarcerated. And the progressive movement, I will submit to you, is the reason that that poor Ukrainian woman was slaughtered on the bus. In Charlotte. The judge knew the man who allegedly did that. It's on videotape, Was dangerous. The man beat up his own sister. Judge let him out on the street anyway. Judge is a progressive judge, okay? How many times do we have to see that? How many times do we have to see that? And that woman, Teresa, whatever her name is, is still on the bench. Still on the bench. What is wrong with you people in North Carolina? You can remove her. Why is she not removed? And the people of North Carolina themselves should be demanding that this is how you stop it. Now, I don't think the judge is evil. I don't know the judge. But she enables it. She allows it to happen, okay? So on 9, 11, 24 years ago, everybody got a. The cliche is a wake up call. Everybody got it, okay? And look at this. And I'll submit to you. Most Americans didn't know what the jihad was. Osama bin Laden. I don't know anything about it. And all of a sudden, whoa, we're attacked. Thousands of people dead. The Kirk thing isn't at that level, but it's close because of social media and how successful he was and the harrowing personal story of two little kids. On and on and on and on. Now, we Woke up after 9, 11 for a little bit. And then we made mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq, but we wiped them out. Most of the jihadists. There's still a few around. And Iran's still functioning. Iran is the head of the snake, which is why I told him he's on the COVID of the book. But back here, Pritzker, Mandani, Newsom Wu in Boston. What's going on here? You're voting for people who allow mentally ill, violent citizens to roam around at will. What are you doing? And that's to anybody in those states who's voted for those people. There's no excuse for it, but it's happening. So to sum up, Americans have to mobilize now. Got to pay attention. I know most, not most, but many millions. Won't they refuse it? Too selfish. Too addicted to the Internet too, you know, they don't care. And one message to the media. So the View is on today. Oh, Charlie Kirk. Oh, Charlie Kirk. Oh, Charlie Kirk. Did they invite Charlie Cochrane to talk about anything? I'm checking it out, but I don't think so. They disparage him. But now. Oh. Oh, that's Disney. All right, I'm going to show you in a minute what happened at msnbc. Anybody surprised what happened over there? No. So the media is enabling evil on a lot of fronts. And again, if we don't walk away from that, we're partially responsible.

This special TPM (Talking Points Memo) edition explores the rising tide of “evil” domestically and internationally, according to Bill O’Reilly. He closely examines President Trump’s current struggles, the challenges and dangers posed by Russia’s aggression, America’s internal battles with crime and justice policy, and the broader threat he perceives from progressive leadership. O’Reilly constantly returns to his latest book Confronting Evil as he analyzes both infamous modern villains and what he characterizes as a national reluctance to confront them.
(01:05 – 07:23)
Trump’s Overhaul Efforts and Resistance:
“There has not been a president in modern history in the first seven months who has tried to reform the government as much as Donald Trump has.” – Bill O’Reilly (01:25)
Stalemates in Foreign Policy:
Economic Concerns and Polling:
"Do you approve of the way Donald Trump is handling employment and jobs? Approve. 38. Disapprove. 51. That's not a good number for the president.” (04:15)
(07:28 – 16:46)
Softness on Crime and Immigration:
“The Democratic Party has decided to be soft on crime and soft on illegal immigration... That’s the historical truth. There’s no two sides to the story.” (07:29)
Urban Crime and High-Profile Violence:
Illegal Immigration Court Rulings:
National Guard and Constitutional Barriers:
“...the only power in the United States that can control it are the federal government. That’s it. But the real evil here is that the progressive leadership doesn’t want to control it.” (14:54)
Political Motives and Media Reactions:
(16:51 – 24:02)
Russian Drones Breach Polish Airspace:
“NATO and America are going to have to confront Putin. They have to.” (17:56)
Putin’s Threat Profile:
“Putin’s a killer.” – O’Reilly
“A lot of killers. We got a lot of killers. Why you think our country’s so innocent?” – Donald Trump (22:02)
“Whenever you give a human being unlimited power, the person goes crazy... if you are evil to begin with, that evil just heightens.” (20:34)
(24:02 – 32:28)
Historical Parallels and Cultural Critique:
“We are entering a new age of evil. The last age that we had was in the 1930s with the rise of dictatorships... led to 100 million people dead in World War II, the Holocaust, on and on.” (26:01)
Societal Apathy and Enabling Evil:
“Many of us in America look away. They’re not going to read Confronting Evil. They don’t want to be involved with reality. Got to stop now.” (25:12)
Progressive Movement as Enabler:
Progressives blamed for reluctance to incarcerate, enabling criminal acts like the murder in Charlotte by previously released offenders:
“Now, the progressive movement does not want to punish evil. They’re soft on crime…” (28:38)
“How many times do we have to see that? And that woman, Teresa, whatever her name is, is still on the bench. Still on the bench. What is wrong with you people in North Carolina?” (29:13)
Call to Action:
On Trump’s Challenges:
“Trump is stalled on all three of those things right now. It frustrates him.” (03:19)
On Russia and Ukraine:
“Putin now is a certified psychopath. He does not want to stop the killing. Very hard to negotiate with a person like that.” (02:08)
On U.S.-Based Crime:
“That poor Ukrainian woman was slaughtered on the bus in Charlotte. The judge knew the man who allegedly did that... Judge let him out anyway… Judge is a progressive judge, okay?” (29:00)
On Progressive Leaders:
“The real evil here is that the progressive leadership doesn’t want to control it... you accept the help, right? Unless you’re insane.” (15:09)
On Historic Danger:
“It’s hard to put into words how dangerous this time is. And it happened in modern times only once before in the 1930s.” (24:02)
Call to Americans:
“So to sum up, Americans have to mobilize now. Got to pay attention… If we don’t walk away from [media enabling evil], we’re partially responsible.” (32:06)
