Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis

Weekend Edition - February 14, 2026

Overview

This episode focuses on three major topics dominating current U.S. political discourse:

• The latest congressional hearings surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and upcoming testimonies from Bill and Hillary Clinton
• U.S. and Israeli concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, potential military action, and Trump’s diplomatic approach
• Reports of foreign money fueling domestic unrest in America, with a deep dive into congressional efforts to curb this influence and protect election integrity

Throughout, Bill O’Reilly brings on congressional guests and policy experts, aiming for direct answers and discussing the real-world consequences of these investigations and policy choices.

Segment 1: Epstein Hearings & The Clintons

Key Participants:

• Bill O’Reilly (Host)
• Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), House Oversight Committee

Main Points:

• Ghislaine Maxwell Testifies:
  • Maxwell took the Fifth in her congressional testimony and asked for clemency in exchange for information. O’Reilly reacts sharply:

    “Hey, lady, if it were up to me, you’d never get out of prison, ever.” (00:18, O’Reilly)

• Upcoming Clinton Testimonies:
  • Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are both due to appear before Congress at the end of February.
• Committee’s Intentions:
  • Sessions explains the need to directly question high-profile figures even if non-cooperative:

    “We've called a lot of former officials who… provided the best of information that they could… The Clintons, they're the ones that really made this the issue.” (01:22, Pete Sessions)

  • He expects both Clintons may “not recall” details but notes the committee has documents and intends to confront them with specifics.
• Legal Jeopardy?
  • O’Reilly presses if Bill Clinton is at risk legally. Sessions remains cautious but references potential cover-up concerns, paraphrasing an old adage:

    “The cover up is worse than the crime.” (04:51, Pete Sessions)

• Charitable Foundation Angle:
  • The investigation into Hillary Clinton is largely focused on her charitable foundation’s fundraising dealings with Epstein.

    “That would certainly be the major part of this paperwork.” (06:34, Pete Sessions)

• Frustration with Media Coverage:
  • O’Reilly laments that only Trump-related angles get press attention.

    “They can't get [this information] because the corporate media will not cover it unless it’s Trump.” (06:54, O’Reilly)

• Upcoming Hearings:
  • Sessions calls the end-of-month hearings “pretty good theater,” hoping real answers emerge under oath. (07:14)

Notable Quotes:

• “If confronted with ideas, perhaps facts... all of a sudden they may recognize, yeah, that’s my handwriting.” (02:56, Sessions)
• “You know how much I want to be right, Congressman.” (06:40, O’Reilly)

Segment 2: Iran, Trump, and Geopolitical Strategy

Key Participants:

• Bill O’Reilly (Host)
• E.J. Kimball, Foreign Policy Analyst, US Israel Education Association

Main Points:

• Trump’s Preference for Diplomacy:
  • O’Reilly relays his direct conversation with Trump, highlighting Trump’s reluctance to bomb Iran due to concern for civilian casualties.

    “The president would rather make a deal than bomb Iran. Why? [He] doesn’t want to kill Persian civilians.” (07:48, O’Reilly)

• Timing—Olympics as a Factor:
  • Any strike is unlikely before the Olympics end, but O’Reilly and Kimball agree Trump’s unpredictability remains.

    “He’s not going to let them play that game.” (09:41, Kimball) “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.” (10:07, Kimball)

• Regime Change in Iran?:
  • O’Reilly: Regime change must come from within. Kimball agrees, noting Trump won’t ‘own’ nation-building.

    “He’s not looking to do a regime change and own it.” (11:25, Kimball)

• Likelihood and Scope of Strikes:
  • Kimball predicts the U.S. will eventually strike, and that action will be “massive and coordinated,” targeting threats in Iran as well as proxy forces in the region.

    “President Trump wants to win. He doesn’t want a long war. He wants to go in and have a massive, massive, overwhelming response.” (12:56, Kimball)

• Venezuela as Precedent:
  • O’Reilly: “We own Venezuela now. So we’re calling every shot in that country. They’re not calling any. I know that to be true.” (12:18, O’Reilly)

Segment 3: Foreign Money Fueling U.S. Unrest

Key Participants:

• Bill O’Reilly (Host)
• Congressman Kevin Hern (R-OK), House Ways and Means Committee

Main Points:

• House Hearing On Foreign Funding:
  • Focus on Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghainese communist billionaire funding radical left-wing protest groups via complex nonprofit networks.

    “The money comes from a guy named Neville Roy Singham. This is the big guy, lives in China, Shanghai, is a communist and he is raising hundreds of millions of dollars to destabilize the US Government.” (13:30, O’Reilly)

• Mechanics of Influence:
  • Hern: The channeling of foreign money through U.S. nonprofits (501c3s), often routed via intermediaries, is a major concern. Hearing witnesses (even a Democrat) got caught in lies showing money trails.

    “It’s the old saying, follow the money.” (14:21, Hern) “The Democrats have consistently wanted illegals to be able to stay here.” (14:54, Hern)

• Failure of Government Action:
  • O’Reilly points to Treasury Secretary Scott Besant’s inaction, noting President Trump asked O’Reilly (in a personal capacity) to provide lists of suspect organizations.

    “Treasury Secretary Scott Besant could have started revoking 501 in October and he didn’t do it and he won’t talk about it.” (15:33, O’Reilly)

• Tax Loopholes and Litigation Funding:
  • Hern details how foreign sovereign wealth funds (from, e.g., the Middle East) fund lawsuits in the U.S. and use tax loopholes to avoid paying any taxes on large settlements.

    “They create, they have a sovereign wealth fund... call it a capital investment and when it settles, call it capital gains. Well, capital gains are not paid by foreign individuals that are not U.S. citizens.” (19:12, Hern)

• Election Security and Voter ID:
  • Explains Democrat opposition to the SAVE Act (requiring proof of citizenship and ID to vote) stokes Republican concern over illegal voting, noting many legal immigrants are angered by this disparity.

    “It's not that we're against immigration. We're against illegal immigration.” (21:45, Hern)

• Congressional (And DOJ) Response:
  • For the first time, Ways & Means is tackling these 501c3 loopholes from a tax perspective, hoping Treasury and Justice will finally act.

    “We’re doing things that haven’t been done before. So I think we're going to be successful.” (22:54, Hern)

Notable Quotes:

• O’Reilly: “It's more of a grift than anything else.” (19:54, O’Reilly)
• “Behind the scenes [Democrats] know this is devastating... but at the hearing... they detract from the actual issue.” (17:33, Hern)
• “We want transparency. We want to make sure that these foreign actors are paying their appropriate taxes. Most are not paying any taxes at all on these big multimillion dollar lawsuits.” (18:41, Hern)
• “It is the law [that you must be a citizen to vote]. And then on top of that is to have an ID... Certainly in federal elections, we have that responsibility.” (20:35, Hern)

  “There are things that they may all of a sudden recognize. Yeah, that’s, that's my handwriting.” (02:56)

  “President Trump wants to win. He doesn't want a long war.” (12:56)
