1. The Iran Deal, U.S. Policy, and Public Confusion

Key Segments:

• [01:07] - [09:49] O’Reilly’s Monologue & Listener Letters
• [09:54] - [21:42] Guest: Dr. Nazi Moyunian (Middle East Institute)

Main Discussion Points

• State of Diplomacy: O’Reilly shares optimistic background reports from Switzerland on Vice President Vance’s efforts to close a nuclear deal with Iran, but expresses skepticism about Iranian trustworthiness (“The Iranians, you know what they say now, one hour from now is obsolete. They're not trustworthy people and everybody knows it.” – Bill O’Reilly, [01:13])

• Public Confusion: Most Americans, per O’Reilly, do not understand the Iran situation due to misinformation and lack of expertise:
  “There's mass confusion … Most people don't know what the deuce is going on … they're not Middle Eastern experts and they hear crazy stuff all the time.” ([01:58])

• Iran’s Nuclear Status: O’Reilly fields five letters, clarifying:

  • Iran does not currently possess a nuclear weapon, but wants one. ([06:28])
  • The claim that Iran has enough enriched uranium for 11 bombs is unverified. ([07:14])
    “I can't confirm that. Nobody can confirm that. Impossible.” – Bill O’Reilly

• Verification Problem:

  • Even if a deal includes inspectors, “if the leadership of Iran is not going to allow the weapons inspectors in, how would you ever be able to verify it?” ([05:17])
  • Intelligence agencies believe Iran is close, but precise knowledge is impossible.

Guest Expert Exchange

• Dr. Nazi Moyunian’s Perspective ([09:54] onward):

  • Based on nuclear expert David Albright, Iran was, at one point, weeks away from producing multiple weapons-grade payloads. ([10:22])
  • IAEA's inspectors were deceived and sometimes expelled, limiting transparency:
    “Inspectors were always supposed to be in... kicked out... supposed to be there as part of the NPT.” – Dr. Moyunian ([11:17])
  • Iran’s clandestine activities are difficult to detect; for every site open to inspection, there's likely another operating in secret.
    “You can never get a surety out of the Islamic regime. It thrives on obfuscation and confusion…” ([13:28])

• Global Divide:

  • Gulf states favor U.S. policy, while Europeans default to diplomacy due to lack of military capability. ([15:43])
  • Divisions exist between U.S., Israel, and European allies on handling Iran.

Notable Quote:

• “Evil grows when you look away.” – Bill O’Reilly ([17:20])

2. American Patriotism, Division, and July 4th Reflections

Key Segments:

• [24:04] - [35:19] O’Reilly’s Monologue on Patriotism & Polls
• [53:33] - [66:14] Interview with A.J. Pashuti (Retired Marine/Sniper & Author)

Main Discussion Points

• Patriotism Polls:

  • O’Reilly cites an NBC poll: 62% of Trump voters are “extremely proud” to be Americans vs. only 12% of Kamala Harris voters. Among Republicans, 90%; among Democrats, only 29%. ([26:39])
  • “If you know your history ... this country's done more for this planet than any other country by far.” – Bill O’Reilly ([25:04])
  • Contrast to post-9/11 patriotism: 93% of Americans then were proud; now, division is deeper and more partisan.

• Generational/Age Gap:

  • Only 36% of 18–34-year-olds are extremely proud to be American. ([26:49])
  • O’Reilly argues that negativity toward America is linked to progressive ideology and the changing media landscape.

• Role of Dissent:

  • “You don't have to hate your country in order to make constructive changes ... Those who love their country the most want things to get better.” ([29:06])

• America as World’s Policeman:

  • O’Reilly laments, “I wish we weren’t the policeman of the world. But what are you going to do? … let them run wild?” ([31:12])
  • Discusses moral complexity and necessity of U.S. action, using Iran and past wars as examples.

Notable Guest: A.J. Pashuti

• Background:

  • Immigrant family, joined Marines at 17 after 9/11 to find purpose and give back, served 21 years, engaged in high-profile sniper operations. ([53:39])

• Motivation & Patriotism:

  • Pashuti credits American opportunity and his immigrant upbringing for instilling a sense of duty ([53:39]);
    “The true heroes of America are the men, women and teenagers who go to work for a modest wage, fulfill responsibilities ... and are kind and generous to others.” ([60:36])
  • Encourages service in any capacity for community and country.

• Division and Perspective:

  • Recognizes cynicism but stresses “Americans don’t get through combat alone … It’s always the team.” ([62:38])
  • Patriotism: “Unequivocally, yes. But I don’t know that my service in the military quantifies me as more patriotic … The idea of patriotism is you’re allowed to love your country, you’re allowed to question your country, but the idea is we believe in one another.” ([62:18])

• Honest Cost of War:

  • Veterans “wrote a blank check … payable with their lives. War to me are names and faces and memories of people that may not come home.” ([64:56])
  • Urges caution when sending troops to war: it must be “necessary, lawful, and worth the cost.” ([65:25])

3. Political Radicalization & The Rise of Communism in American Politics

Key Segment:

• [43:44] - [51:51] Bill O’Reilly’s Talking Points Memo

Main Discussion Points

• New Communists in Congress:

  • Three self-identified communists won Democratic primaries in NYC, likely to become House members.
  • O’Reilly critiques their knowledge of communism and cites Mao Zedong’s “Little Red Book” to clarify what communism means in practice: collective ownership of all property. ([44:30])

• Immigration & Political Change:

  • “44% of all those working right now in New York City were born overseas … a migrant town, like London. London’s falling apart. New York City will fall apart, just a matter of when.” ([45:42])
  • O’Reilly distinguishes between hard-working migrants and those who expect government support, warning that increased support for leftist candidates could destabilize U.S. urban centers.

• Split in the Democratic Party:

  • Progressive/communist wing is ascendant, but O’Reilly argues this will alienate moderates and hurt Democrats in future elections.
  • “Ultimately, it’ll die out. … the Democratic Party is now the home of all the communists.” ([49:44])

• Progressive Tenets (as described by O’Reilly):

  1. Hating Israel
  2. No prison for violent criminals
  3. No border or immigration restrictions

  • Whistleblower documents: Fauci and the intelligence community knew of a Wuhan lab incident and possible gain-of-function research as early as the outbreak. ([36:43–38:46])

• Taxpayer Funding and Legal Questions:

  • NIH-funded research enhanced virus lethality, allegedly violating Obama’s 2015 executive order and potentially the bioweapons treaty.
    “You and I paid for that research. … Barack Obama banned that research by executive order in 2015. So it would have been unlawful…” – John Solomon ([40:08])

[No Spin News Announcer]

Welcome to the no Spin news weekend edition.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, I'm getting some good news behind the scenes background. When a journalist is briefed on background, that means the journalist doesn't go public with it. But the news is pretty good out of Switzerland, where Vice President Vance trying to sew up this deal with Iran. However, I'm not going to be cynical, but I am realistic. The Iranians, you know what they say now, one hour from now is obsolete. They're not trustworthy people and everybody knows it. The Iranians know it. They're also going around hanging people like crazy dissidents inside Iran. But if they can nail this thing down, they being the United States and Iran signs into it, that'll be a huge victory for the world and for President Trump. And he knows. So I hope you all read my column on Sunday. You know, we signaled that it was an important piece of analysis and if you didn't read it, it's there. You can read it. But it's important that you know what the truth is and what's a bunch of garbage because there's a lot of that floating around. And that is the subject of tonight's Talking Points Memo. So the name of the column is Iran Unbowed, but there's mass confusion on the part of the United States citizenry and the world. Most people don't know what the deuce is going on. I'm not saying that in a supercilious manner. Word of the day, supercilious. They just don't know. And why should they? They're not Middle Eastern experts and they hear crazy stuff all the time on television and social media. Nobody reads newspapers anymore. Okay? So I got five letters and I think this is the best way to do it tonight, based upon a column. I'm going to read you all five. I'm going to reply to them. The first letter is from Frederick. All right. O'Reilly said it from the beginning, big risk. But President Trump should have destroyed those terrorists at the very beginning. Now it will never happen. Well, in order to destroy the terrorists, you're going to have to kill thousands of civilians. Frederick, you willing to do that? President Trump isn't willing to do that at this juncture. He might have to, but he thought he could get a deal. Okay, and he's close to getting a deal. Whether the Iranians will honor the deal, nobody knows. But you don't negotiate along those lines because that's speculative. But you say Trump should have destroyed those terrorists. That would, you'd have to go in and mass bomb Tehran and the whole country. You know, the unintended consequence of that in the Muslim world. Okay, let's stay in the real world here, Ralph and Joan. Bill, did President Trump say no verification? President Ronald Reagan said trust but verify. In a social media post today, President Trump said that he's going to get the inspectors in. There wasn't any equivocation about it. Are you right? President Reagan said trust but verify How? If the leadership of Iran is not going to allow the weapons inspectors in, how would you ever be able to verify it? You can't realize. World third Letter Philip, at this point, Iran is still a nuclear threat, potential nuclear threat. They do not have a weapon. A lot of viewers out there believe that Iran has a nuclear weapon. It does not. It wants one, is working toward one. It does not have it according to every piece of intelligence that we have. Next one, John. So we have to have our military out of there in 30 days. What do you think Iran's going to do after the US Military is gone? Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? There is no negotiation on US Military withdrawal from anywhere. So right now the American military is in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and uae. They're not leaving. But I'm very curious. Where did you get that? Who is saying that? Who is misleading you? And the final one is from Harlan on Wednesday. O'Reilly, you denied ever hearing Iran has enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs. Just Google. Iran has enough enriched uranium, Number one, Harlan, we do not report or analyze based upon Google or Wikipedia or, or any website. Now, on this program, we have had discussions and one of the discussions was on June 17, and it basically was that Iran has enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear bombs.

[Pepsi Commercial Narrator]

Bombs.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I can't confirm that. Nobody can confirm that. Impossible. But you cannot confirm it. Okay. Now there are people, weapons inspectors among them, and Witkoff, One of the U.S. negotiators, who believe it. They believe it. So Witkoff says that the uranium the Iranians possess could have been enriched to weapons grade within seven to 10 days. You know, where's the backup? I'm not doubting that, but I don't. There is no backup for it. So it's no wonder why everybody is confused. Now, in May of last year, 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and this is what I hammered Chris Cuomo with, okay, issued a report that said Iran's stock of uranium enriched to 60% purity was close to weapons grade. The IAEA is out of Austria and that's what they say. Okay. I don't know. I know what they said. I reported what they said. Now, Chris Cuomo, he doesn't want to believe that, so he's not going to believe it no matter what you do. No matter what I AEA says now, I'm not believing it either, but I'm not skeptical about it. I think it's entirely possible that that's true. Bottom line on all this is it is impossible to know anybody. What exactly is going on five miles below a mountain? Natan, it's impossible. But the, but sorry, but the prevailing wisdom is and that what President Trump believes, that the Iranians were working feverishly to get this bomb and they were very close. And that's the memo.

[No Spin News Announcer]

You're listening to the no Spa News Weekend Edition.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Joining us now from New York City is Dr. Nazi Moyunian. She is an associate fellow for the Middle East Institute, which is, you know, down the middle. It's not an ideological thing, which is what we don't want here. All right. And that seeks to increase knowledge of the Middle East. All right, so you read my column, you heard my monologue. Where am I going wrong here? Doctor,

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

thank you. Nice to be on your show, Bill. My brother was a huge fan, always talked about you. You're not going anywhere. Wrong. I think you hit the nail on the head on many points. I'm not a nuclear expert. It wasn't, it's not on my resume, but I know a few things to be able to address some of the data you just shared with us. The, the weapons grade uranium and how far was Iran away from producing a bomb or three bombs or six bombs for that matter is not up for debate. You know, according to David Albright, who's a nuclear expert, he's a physicist, he founded the Institute for Science and International Security, Iran was about three to four weeks away from producing four to six weapons grade payloads.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But how would he know? How would he know?

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

Because, you know, that's another. That's a great question. And I wanted to tell you that the IAE inspectors were in Iran. They were kicked out and they were deceived on many levels, but they were kicked out. And now Iran is bragging that it has given up its nuclear weapons to the Americans because it's letting the inspectors in. The inspectors were always supposed to be in, by the way, as part of the NPT.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They got booted out in 2019. So that's seven years ago.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

No, they were there until 2024 when the last I read the last report by David Albright where they actually swapped many facilities, they found a 60% isotope which is not supposed to be there and they were not allowed to enrich up to that level. And from 60% isotope to a weapons grade uranium, which is about 90, 95%.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, but I'm glad you pointed out those inspectors were not allowed to go to see any kind of uranium lab or any kind like that. They did glean that Iran was cheating and that was under Trump. I'm sorry, that was under Biden. It was under Biden and it was an extension of the Obama deal with them. So that's why Trump, when he came in, he did it twice. He knocked him out the first time because he didn't like the deal. He said nobody can verify. And then the second time he used military action in coordination with Israel to try to kill these people because they were violating. But I'm not a doubter in the sense that I know based upon, I had an IAEA inspector, honest program.

[John Solomon]

Right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So pretty much what you're saying. Okay, but there's no 100% assurity. And the opposition to Trump worldwide, not just in the US doesn't believe it because they don't want to believe it. Would that be accurate?

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

Yes. Also what's very accurate is that you can never get a surety out of the Islamic regime. It thrives on obfuscation and confusion and you know, letting its hands open for the world to see what they're up to. How much missiles they're producing, how many drone factories they have, how much nuclear enriched uranium they have is a death knell for them. So, you know, they keep their cars very close to their chest.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But they're going to have to do it because Trump is not, not going to make a deal unless they allow weapons inspectors in. Now, they'll play hide them all whack, you know, hide it here, hide it there. You know what they'll do. All right, but part of the deal is they're going to be weapons inspectors, go in and look at their uranium capacity. Has to happen or Trump's legacy is severely damaged.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

I agree. And it will happen for us Iran watchers. And unfortunately, the synonym for Iran watchers is Iran cynics, because we know what they're all up to. Not the Iranians, but the regime is that for every performance we can verify, for every performance we can gauge to understand how far along they've gone, there is almost certainly a clandestine nuclear activity somewhere else that we haven't been able to.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No doubt about.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

Right, right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No doubt about it. But once you let people in to take a look around, you are in a much stronger position than they are now. The free world is. Now, why do you think you've been doing this for a while, Doctor? Why do you think Europe and I mean the Gulf states are with the usa. Israel is separated because of the prohibition on them over. What did Trump say the phrase he used was reacting too harshly. So they're kind of to the sideline now. They'll come back. But what is your reaction to why the world, why isn't everybody aligned with the United States trying to get these guys under control in Iran?

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

Well, I share your sentiments, Bill, that there was a wedge driven by the Iranians, by the Hezbollah, between Bibi and Trump. And the media jumped on that and made it much more magnified, more than it needed to be. But I'm reminded of World War II, 1940-1944. Charles de Gaulle of France and Churchill of England fought bitterly between themselves because they differed on war aims. Exactly how Bibi and Trump were differ on war aims. Should it be a regime change or should it be just a weekend Iran so we can get a better deal out of them. But they ultimately knew that the enemy is Hitler, which needs to be defeated, and they collaborated and we won the war. I'm not worried about the relationship between Bibi and Trump. They're both very hard headed, very strong personality, world powers, and Israel is a regional power that set aside, I think, the Europeans. I'm reminded of my great mentor at my grad school, Robert Jervis, who always said, if you want to know where the country relies on, what the country relies on, when it comes to foreign policy, look what tools they have in their toolbox. Americans have military power. We're the largest military power in the world. And it was showcased during all the operations. Epic Fury, Midnight Hammer. Everything that has gone down since Europeans were there in 18th, 19th, and part of 20th century. They're no longer there, so they rely on diplomacy because everything else is too costly for them.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, but all the president asked of them was to allow our military to refuel on their territory. Yeah, he wanted a couple of ships from Great Britain, and that never happened. But it wasn't. Look, you guys got to partner up and send your bombers in there. No, it was a very, very sensible request that was rejected outright by a very weak continent. And I was. And to this day, Trump's furious about it. Absolutely furious that these NATO people, whom we protected now for 50 years, would then turn their backs on something that's dangerous. Iran's a dangerous terrorist state. Nobody can deny that. And yet these people are looking away. I mean, I wrote a book called Confronting Evil. I said, in a book, evil grows when you look away. And you're not going to let American military planes land on your soil or refuel. I mean, it just. It's crazy.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

It is. It is. And I understand that you're angry. I was angry when Keir Starmer rejected the landing of allowing the American planes to land on British soil. I don't have an answer for that, unfortunately. I think this is a stain on collective European foreign policy establishment. They know that Trump will step up and do what it needs to be done militarily, and they're not willing to do it because somebody else is doing it for them.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, it's true, but that's so venal and so corrupt and so destructive to the rest of the world, because these guys are killers. And again, there's no debate on that. I mean, they're going to light up Lebanon, and I think Hamas is pretty much done, but they can make a comeback at Iran's request. They're going to start again, and Iran's going. We're not doing it. So, anyway, it's just a mess. Last word on this. I am a bit more optimistic today than I was on the weekend. Over the weekend. I do think there's a good chance now that the Iranians will make a deal. You.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

You know, optimism is a hazard in my profession, Bill, if you understand what I mean. We all, we always tend to be on the side of cautious optimism, a little bit cynical, a little bit too realistic when it comes to the Islamic regime. I want your viewers and listeners to take the point away by listening to this conversation that obviously they know that the Islamic regime does not represent the Iranian people. 80 to 90% of the Iranian people are America loving, Western loving technocrats who are highly educated. They're perfectly happy to belong to the Western orbit. And it's the dream that's been hijacked by the Islamic regime. And the Gen Z of the Iranians right now is in revolt and the people you see on the street are Gen Z and sometimes their parents. But it's known that this regime, if not targeted and gone away by the coalition of Arabs in the Gulf and the operations, the kinetic operations of the Americans and Israelis, it might implode on its own illegitimacy and unpopularity, which is something the Iranian Gen Z is hoping for.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, but remember now, 250 years ago we had a fight for our freedom here and more than 200,000 colonists went down. And so the Iranians can sit there all day long and say we don't like the mullahs but they're going to have to do something themselves, whether it be a general strike. There are ways to do without getting a rope around your neck. But we're not seeing that and I don't know if we're going to see it. Certainly the US government is not counting on that anymore. They did in the beginning. Yeah, but they're not anymore.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

It's hard to risk your life, Bill, if you're confronted by ammunition, that's military style ammunition and you're riddled with bullets to the tune of 30 to 40,000 people over a nine hour period. Three days, but nine hours.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I listen, I understand, but we had to do it. Other cultures had to do it. As I said, there are other ways than going out into the street. Put yourself in physical jeopardy, but we're not seeing much. Anyway, Doctor, thanks for the good discussion.

[Dr. Nazi Moyunian]

Thank you for having me, really. Thank you.

[Bill O'Reilly]

[Bill O'Reilly]

July 250 on its way. Summer always flies by. You know, next week, party hardy, right? That's a troubled country, though. Right now it's not calm. And we'll get into some of that because I don't like to see this. I want everybody to be happy and respect their country like their country. But we're not seeing that. That's for sure. The progressive left has really come in hard that we're not a good country and those of us who respect the United States values are bad. We're bad people. That's a progressive thing. And a country's really changed because of that. 25% of Americans are buying into this nonsense. Okay? According to polling and we'll define it, that's the Talking Points Memo. So the article in USA Today, and usually that's not a first rate publication, but this was good. This is a good article. Ingrid Jacques wrote it. She's a columnist and she says that Democrats have lost faith in America itself. I don't. I'd say half of them have half of them. So the data she uses comes from NBC. It's a poll and it says that 62% of Trump voters say they are extremely proud to be Americans compared to just 12% Kamala Harris voters. Only 12% are extremely proud to be an American. I'm proud to be an American. If you know your history, if you read my killing books and confronting books, you'll know it, man. This country's done more for this planet than any other country by far. As simple as that. Simple as that. Blood and treasure. Among Republicans right now, 90% are extremely are very proud. Among Democrats, that number shrinks to 29%. Age. Another factor, 36% of Americans, 1834 say they're extremely proud. 75% aren't. Now, this always happens during Vietnam. I knew hundreds of people, and a lot of them were real far left, anti Vietnam War people. They didn't like Johnson. They didn't like the system. They don't like anything. I'd say half right now are conservative people because life experience teaches you right from wrong and gives you a bigger perspective. Okay, So a University of Michigan study polled way, way back to right after 9 11. Right after 9 11, okay? And then 93% of Americans. 93. So they were proud to be an American. Okay? Only 2% said they weren't. Right after 9 11, the attack.

[John Solomon]

And

[Bill O'Reilly]

obviously now that totally has changed. Now, President Trump is driving the change because he is a man that is very confident in his point of view. And his point of view is that progressives are harming the country. That's his point of view. So all the progressives despise him, but they just don't. It's not just political, it's personal. I think they'd hurt him if they could. I do think a number of Americans would hurt men if they could. So my next book is called Confronting America. What has to Change. And this is a book not on dissent. It's common sense that we can make the United States a better country in every way if we follow what is in that book. And you can order it on pre. Pre order it on billoriley.com. so I'm not some Pollyanna guy going, hey, everything we do is great. No, not me. I know what's working and what isn't working. I got a lot of stuff in there that's going to shock you. That should change. Okay, but you don't have to hate your country in order to make constructive changes. In fact, you can make an argument that those who love their country the

[Pepsi Commercial Narrator]

most

[Bill O'Reilly]

want things to get better. That is absolutely true. I mean, if you're emotionally invested in America, you want to see it get better. And so that book is coming on up. Gonna be very controversial book. You will like it. Then it turns out that we are now the policeman of the world. Not a good thing. I wish we weren't the policeman of the world. But what are you going to do? I mean, Confronting Evil, the book that's out now, I got the Isola on the COVID I got Putin on the COVID What are you going to do? Let them run wild? I mean, President Trump trying to dismantle the terrorist state of Iran, which has caused tens of thousands of deaths through Terrorism itself, Hezbollah, Hamas, and is trying to make a nuclear weapon. And it's close. Okay, him trying to do something about it is a positive thing, is it not? He's taking on evil. Biden never do this. He never do in a million years. Biden. Obama tried it. And the Mullis just basically said, okay, we're not going to do what you. What you want. We sign a deal, we're going to break the deal. But Trump actually wanting regime change, and that's the reason we haven't gone in heavy with the bombers. They don't want to kill those people, the innocent people, the Persians. Now, it's funny because Cuomo last night on News Nation was making a big deal out of this schoolhouse where more than 100 children were killed by an American bomb. And you remember the story happened very early on in this invasion. Okay, well, my reply was, do you think the Pentagon people woke up and said, we're going to kill children today? Kill the children today. It's on the agenda. No, it's war. It's war. And when you have the most powerful weaponry the world's ever seen, civilians going to get killed, and that doesn't justify anything. That doesn't make me a mean guy. I feel terrible that those children will never grow into adults. But it wasn't done purposely, and now it's being used. So how bad America is, Come on, you know anything about warfare? Anything at all? You know, the civilian casualty count is always horrendous, always. So I'm sitting here, I'm going, what the deuce is happening here? And it's just that people want to think the worst of their country. The progressives do. We're not the bad guys. Now, you may not like President Trump, and that is understandable. Okay? He's a very bellicose guy, a pompous guy. Not pompous in a sense that he thinks he's better than anyone else, but he delivers his message in a populist style. So you can apply a whole bunch of adjectives to that. He's not mealy mouthing. He's coming in and saying, this is how I see it and I want to correct it. It's what he's doing. And we haven't had a populist president. Harry Truman is probably. And he wasn't that populous, but he didn't take a lot of guff, Harry. That's it. We had very diplomatic presidents. So when a guy like Donald Trump comes in and he's like, okay, we're going to do this, this this and this. People like staggered, particularly people who don't like him and his party. Okay, finally we have another bit of data for you. This is again the NBC poll. How proud of you. How proud are you to be an American? Now this is a different poll than the first one. 78%. I think that's accurate. Not proud. 21, I think that's right. Republicans, 90% are proud to be an American. Democrats, 29%. The, that's the progressive influence. All right. And we got a lot of hate on the side of not being proud. And again, I'll tell you, leave Mexico like to have you go ahead, go down, make friends with the cartel boys. Canada needs money. So go on up there, pay your high taxes because you get free medical care up there. Value, they'll take you. Paraguay, all the South American countries will take you. Uruguay will actually sell you a passport for about a thousand bucks. You can come a Uruguayan, it's easy. Bahamas will take you. European, a little bit harder, but not really. You just walk right in. Now that's what's going on in Britain. So go. If your life is so hatred and driven by the anti Trump or anti Maga or anti Republican, whatever it may be, go. I never thought I'd say that, you know, because dissent is what confronting America is all about. And that's the memoir.

[No Spin News Announcer]

You're listening to the no spin news Weekend Edition.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, let's go to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who many conservative Americans loathe. So you remember that Fauci was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and infectious diseases from 84 to 2022, Chief Medical Advisor to the president. That would be Trump from 21 to 22. Fauci was a big Covid. Started in from animals, not from the Wuhan lab. And later we learned he took this point of view because his institution invested a lot of money with the Chinese in the Wuhan lab. Well now Senator Rand Paul in Kentucky is investigating Anthony Fauci. He's going to be called in on Monday, non voluntary subpoena. And here with the inside story is the creator of Just the news and editor in chief John Solomon. So why should we care about Fauci? You either like them or you don't. Is it more than that?

[John Solomon]

There is, I think at this moment there is a truth telling consequence to what Rand Paul is going to do. Rand Paul has systemically over the last four years shown that Anthony Fauci did not tell Congress the truth. And he got a little bit of help as Tulsi Gabbard, the departing Director of National Intelligence, was leaving her job. She put out some extraordinary documents that show three things. One, that Anthony Fauci and the entire intelligence community knew that as soon as the COVID outbreak had occurred, that there had been a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That was where the NIH was doing its own coronavirus research. It was funding research there. And that some of the scientists at Wuhan had gotten sick inside the laboratory. That is prima facie evidence that this wasn't a natural creation disease, but actually something that emanated from dangerous research at a lab that Dr. Anthony Fauci was funding the research for. Then we know the CIA, thanks to Tulsi, Gabbard found a video. And one of Dr. Fauci's collaborators, one of the guys he was funding, was caught on video saying, you, yeah, we're actually enhancing the virus to make it more deadly to humans. Which is exactly what Anthony Fauci said his group was not doing at Wuhan Institute. And then third, we got to see that the Inspector General of the Intelligence Committee got a whistleblower complaint. Someone in the intelligence community who had access to the entire visibility of Wuhan came forward and said, Anthony Fauci is lying to Congress. He should get prosecuted. And he goes through the normal whistleblower channels. And then the Biden administration catches it and kills it. Instead of allowing it to go to the Inspector general, from the Intelligence Committee Inspector General to the chief watchdog at Anthony Fauci's agency, they send it to a political appointee and they kill it. They send it to Secretary Becerra, buried

[Bill O'Reilly]

the whistleblower they did is this. And they protect Fauci, is this like Comey just perjury?

[John Solomon]

It's just like, you know, in this case, what they did with Dr. Fauci is exactly what Comey did. When they sent. When he said, I'm going to just absolve Hillary Clinton and wrongdoing, they just wanted to let Anthony Fauci off the hook. Now, the question that these new documents raised was if Anthony Fauci had this much contact with the CIA, he's a scientist, he's a doctor. What's he doing at the CIA all the time? I think there are some broader questions that Rand Paul wants to get to. So we know that in the end days of Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci got a pardon. He can't be prosecuted for anything before January 20, 2025. But if Rand Paul puts him on the stand next week, as he's going to compel him to do. And Anthony Fauci does not tell the truth this time in the body of evidence that's there. He could be instantly prosecuted by the Trump Justice Department. If he does tell the truth, he's going to have to admit he lied to us previously.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, so he's got a pardon by Biden already in his pocket, but then Paul is going to open up all these new doors. The money that was going into Wuhan from Fauci's organization for research purposes, was that taxpayer money? Was that us?

[John Solomon]

It was, yes. You and I paid for that research. We were paying to take a virus that wasn't naturally infectious to humans and make it deadly infectious to humans. And there are a lot of reasons why that's concerning. One is that Barack Obama banned that research by executive order in 2015. So it would have been unlawful to do so. But even at a bigger level, when you take a virus that isn't lethal to humans and you make it lethal to humans, you potentially are in violation of the bioweapons treaty that the United States signed with dozens of countries across the world. And so there's good reason for someone like a Dr. Fauci, if he was involved in knowing this, to not want to admit to those two things.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I wonder why he'd go up against a Barack Obama executive order. Why would he? Why would he put himself in that kind of jeopardy?

[John Solomon]

We don't know the answer yet. And, you know, I have a question again. I've done a lot of work on Anthony Fauci's career back towards in 2005 when I was at the Associated Press, I did a series of investigative stories that got him in a lot of trouble because he was testing AIDS drugs on vulnerable foster children who didn't have parents and they didn't have aids. They were testing the drugs as a control group on kids who didn't have any parents to watch out for him. So I've been tough on him. It was a big story back then. But I have some concerns when I look at this docket that maybe there's an intelligence community element to this that we haven't gotten to the bottom of, where they may be using Fauci to spy on China bioweapon labs and see what was going on. We'll see if that comes out with Dr. With Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci next week. Rand Paul did something really interesting, Bill, last week. He put out this really lengthy timetable, and there's just so many contacts between Anthony Fauci a doctor in the CIA that you don't normally see in the intelligence community. It does raise the specter of whether he was working on some sort of intelligence project with the CIA or someone else. That may not be the case, but I think it's something worth exploring.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, as a Gabbard thinks after she was booted, clearly, yeah, she thought that there was a linkage between US intel and Fauci.

[Pepsi Commercial Narrator]

That's right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So keep us posted. John, do excellent reporting as always. Okay, so the hearing is coming up and John Solomon is the best guy in the country in my opinion.

[No Spin News Announcer]

This is the no Spin News Weekend edition.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So yesterday three communists were elected to the House of Representatives. They have to go through the general election, but they won the Democratic primary in New York City. That's a lock. All right, so three communists are going to take a seat. So I asked him about 10 communists, maybe a little more in the House right now. I don't know of any senators who are communists, but they're coming. And that far left movement run by the progressives, George Soros, those people gaining some momentum. But it's not going to help the Democratic Party. I'm going to explain why. That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So a few weeks ago I picked this up. Very rare. It's Mao Zedong's Little Red Book. First Edition, 1966 I printed in China. They sent it to San Francisco of Course, okay? The customs people have a stamp in here. U.S. customs people say, yeah, we're gonna let it in, but we don't endorse any of this stuff. And in the book, it clearly lays out Mao's. And he is one of the worst villains of all time. If you read Confronting Evil, he's on a cover along with Putin, the ayatollah, and killed 10 million of his own people. So I just want to read you just one little thing because I believe that these communists who are being elected have no idea what communism is. And the people who vote for them are just clueless in a frightening degree. So Mao says the Marxist philosophy of dialectical materialism, that means what you have, okay, has two outstanding characteristics. One is its class nature. It openly avows that dialectical materialism is in the service of the proletariat. That means you don't have anything, is all owned by the people. Your house is owned by the people, your car, any bank accounts you might have, the people own it, not you. Now, the people, they don't know they own it, but the government uses the people, okay? The passage goes on the other. In his practicality, it emphasizes the dependence of theory on practice. Emphasizes theory is based on practice. In terms practice. So what Mao is saying is basically, this isn't just some pipe dream, we're going to take your stuff. And he did. He did. Now, the Communists in Beijing allow a very, very few of their citizens to become very wealthy, mostly tech people. They allow that. But tomorrow, if they don't like that person, then they take all the stuff. Okay? So the three in New York City are Chevrolet, Valdez and Lander. And they're all Mamdani guys. Mangan is a communist, okay? And what they're doing is trying to seize all the assets of New York City and distributed those assets to the poor. That's what it the game is. Okay? So when you see the numbers, they're fairly staggering. 44% of all of those working right now in New York City were born overseas. 44%. 38% of all new Yorkers were born overseas. So this is a migrant town, like London. London's falling apart. New York City will fall apart. Just a matter of when. Okay? Now, and I gotta phrase this because I don't want to come across as some kind of bigoted guy who's wishing ill on migrants. Most migrants that I know work very hard, extremely hard. But a lot of them don't want to compete. They come here, they're looking at apartments that cost $4,000 a month. They can't afford it. They're looking at high prices. They can't. They can't make it. And so they want money. That's what they want. Free everything. And they vote for the communists. And that's all over the world. All over the world. That's the way it is. If you don't have. You want other people's stuff. Now, the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, could control Mamdani and his acolytes, but she will not. She is a progressive liberal. Therein lies the split. Hochul is not a communist, okay? But the Democratic Party is now the home of all the communists. It's not that the Communist Party runs on its own. It's attached to the Democratic Party. That will hurt the Democrats as more and more American citizens figure this out. They haven't figured it out yet because the media covers for this. My monologue tonight would never be heard on any of the networks of cnn. I don't even think Fox would run it. Okay? The big urban centers, L.A. chicago, New York City, San Francisco, they are dominated by migrants now. And progressive left people run the show. So there are three tenets. Number one, hating Israel cannot be a communist progressive unless you hate Israel. That's where that is coming from. No prison for criminals, even violent criminals. No prison rehabilitation, whatever it may be. And no border or immigration restriction. None. That's what happened in England. UK let everybody in and now their social system is bankrupt. That's why Starmer got sacked, okay? Because England can't pay its bills and you can't get a doctor's appointment because the migrants are vying for the same kind of medical attention. Now, what's going to happen? Ultimately, it'll die out. Because liberal people, Hollywood, you know, some financiers, the liberals in your neighborhood or whatever, they don't want their stuff taken away from them. So you're going to see a swing back in the Democratic Party, but not in time for the midterms, okay? Because the Communist Party is on a roll right now. Again, it's not really. It's a party. It's a movement. It's attached to the Democrats, liberals. They're not communists, but they help the progressive movement. And that is the memoir.

[No Spin News Announcer]

You're listening to the no Spin News Weekend Edition.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, as we told you yesterday, according to Marquette, a school in Wisconsin took a poll. Most Americans still love their country. And the answer is yes, 66% of us love our country. 34% do not. Now, that changes based on his president, you Know what administration is in there. But I just want to remind you that with the 254th of July coming up, 66%. It's a good number. If you go to Germany, I don't think you get a number like that. Could be wrong. All right, so what does it take to love your country? What does it take to be patriotic? So we're going to be talking about that for the next few days because of the 250 birthday. Joining us now from San Diego is AJ Pashuti. Okay. He is the author of a book called Dark Horse Harnessing Hidden Potential in War and Life. He is one of the few Marines classified as a gunner. He's a sniper and was engaged in Iraq mostly, you know, meritorious service, Combat V2, Combat Action Ribbons, on and on and on and on. So, A.J. you signed up for the military at age 17, I assume because of 9 11, right?

[A.J. Pashuti]

That's correct. Thank you so much for having me on the show, Bill. I'm really excited to be here.

[LegalShield Advertiser]

Sure.

[A.J. Pashuti]

Yes. So signed up right after 9 11. I was a senior in high school. I'm a family of immigrants. My father was an Italian immigrant. And when he came to the United States, he fell into the idea of wanting to be, you know, like what you mentioned earlier was wanting to work for the betterment of the country, betterment of other people. And so kind of raised me with that. So I was a Boy Scout and an Eagle scout, and when 911 happened, I was searching for purpose and. And something to be able to give back to my country and my community. And the Marine Corps felt like the next right option to do that. And so I embarked on a. On an odyssey for 21 years, deploying around the world, multiple combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Africa, and was able to find my own success through the career and wanted to be able to write a book that captured not only the successes, but how they came to be. And Dark Horse itself is a person that is not necessarily the most prevalent of people to come to the front of mind. Success wasn't determined for me. It was people along the way that made me see my own potential and brought me to a successful career. One of the highlights of the career was being able to the only confirmed sniper versus sniper hunt. I hunted an enemy sniper named Juba, who you may remember from the mid 2000s who was posting his videos online. And so the entire Marine Corps, you know, set out to try to find this, you know, elusive sniper in my team. And I were able to set a trap for him. Hunt him and eliminate him. And with that, we returned a stolen Marine US Marine sniper rifle, which is now on display in the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so this is like the Eastwood movie American Sniper? Not exactly, but that's. They were after a big time Iraqi terrorist who was doing the same thing. I have a bunch of personal Questions for you, A.J. i hope you don't mind.

Down politicsbyfaith.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So the Marine Corps has always taught discipline. It's not an easy road to go to Parris island or to Coronado and become a Marine. Yeah. I mean, they try to break you. And was that a good thing for you? Did that change you, that kind of Marine training?

[A.J. Pashuti]

You know, I would say yes. I think that who I am today was not who I was when I was 17 and the Marine Corps, you know, I owe everything in my life, know where I'm at now, you know, to the Marine Corps and the people inside of it. You know, the culture shock of being a, you know, a civilian kid from Silicon Valley. Right. And then showing up at Marine boot camp in San Diego, I mean, the culture shock on that was. Was absolutely huge. But what they're doing is they're indoctrinating you into a culture of how to be and who to be as a person. What we do inside of the Marine Corps is we always give everything back to the team. Everything goes back to the unit, to the service, to the country. So why we come together and why we work so well is because everybody's green. When you join the Marine Corps, right, you're not black, you're not white. You don't come it doesn't matter where you come from. The mission is what matters. And the Marine to your left and to your right. And so we wanted to cover that in the book Dark Horse and kind of write to that. What makes us special, what makes us unique, is the fact that we come from so many different places, but we have a common mission that we don't let anything come in the way of that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, the common mission is to survive because they're kicking the hell out of you. And you. Whenever you're in a circumstance like that, you bond. The other young Marines buy into the vision, or were they going, I don't know whether I should be here. This is way too hard. What was the prevailing wisdom there?

[A.J. Pashuti]

Oh, great question. You know, I actually. One of the cool parts about Dark Horse is I include letters from throughout my entire career. So when I was a private in boot camp, I was writing those letters, being like, I made a huge mistake. This is terrible. I'm never going to make it. The drill instructors are so mean all the way through, you know, Operation Iraqi Freedom 1, and who I was as a young Marine then Fallujah, writing the letters that I think are what we call death letters that your family reads after you die all the way through. The final act of my career and writing the very last page of the book is called A Letter to the Leader. And that is what I encapsulate. 21 years of leadership lessons that I learned throughout my life. And so, yes, we are all filled with fear and anxiety, and that's what we wanted to be able to show in Dark Horse was that I wasn't a hero waiting for my moment. I was a young kid from a, you know, a place not so different from anyone else's, who was able to find his path, you know, and by being. Bringing people together and by people jumping around and being able to make that possible.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, but there was one difference. You were motivated after we were attacked on 911 to do something about it. Okay. You were motivated. I'm 17, so I'm not going to get a job, you know, with Amazon. I'm going to go and fight for my country. Do you remember that motivation? Do you remember that? You know, some people call it patriotism. I'm going to stand up for my country. I'm going to. I'm going to do what it takes to advance the security and the benefits of the United States of America. Do you remember that motivation?

[A.J. Pashuti]

Absolutely. And I still do. And what I think that is the young generation of Marines now, even before I retired. And now, to this day, they still have that same desire, that same understanding. They want to give back to the country. You know, they want to be able to give back to the system that made them, that gave them these opportunities. You know, I'll quote, you know, an author of whom I've read before, it says the true heroes of America are the men, women and teenagers who go to work for a modest wage, fulfill the responsibilities for their families and friends, and are kind and generous to others. That is what makes America special. And so military service or service to the greater good is what I want to be able to emphasize to people, is that we benefit so much. As an immigrant son, I understood how much we benefited and how great our country is. And so I wanted to compel the next generation. One, tell them that they're okay, they're going to be just fine. They're going to have to work for it just like every other generation ahead of them. But this is something so fantastic that they should want to serve it in whatever capacity. First responder, teacher, military. As long as they're serving their communities and stepping into that. And if I can motivate one person to do that, then Dark Horse has done its job.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, and you will. But not everybody feels that way. AJ There's a lot of cynicism about the United States right now. You just saw the poll. 66% love their country. The rest don't love it. I mean, a lot of it's Donald Trump, a lot of it's party politics, a lot of it's apathy, a lot of it, a lot of its social media. So there's a wave now. It's not like after World War II, okay, where everybody was, you know, let's go, we're all together. We just defeated Hitler and Tojo. So now we're going to go back and build American society. It's not like that now. It's divided and the Marines aren't. I mean, you can't. You can't operate in that system. You have to be buy into the patriotism. Do you consider yourself a patriot?

[A.J. Pashuti]

Unequivocally, yes. And I don't know that my service in the military, you know, quantifies me as more patriotic or less of a patriot than other people. I think that the idea of patriotism is you're allowed to love your country, right? You're allowed to question your country. But the idea is that we believe in one another. I am, you know, I am open to it, and I see it just as much as the next person is that our country is oftentimes deeply divided. And when I look Back to the 250 years before this, you know, this is. You know, this time may feel unprecedented, but we've had hard times before. And I believe in people. I believe in Americans. What I've learned in combat is that nobody gets through combat alone. It's always the team, it's always the people coming together. If we can take the responsibility as Americans, I'm frustrated just like the next person, right? But if we, as responsibility of Americans, don't look at other Americans as the enemy and we can look at them for their potential to work together towards a common good, then I think we have a chance.

[Bill O'Reilly]

The common good is the problem. So some people ask the question, right? Some people think the common good is doing what you did, devoting your adult life, a large part of it, to defending your country. And other people think the common good is antifa blowing up ice headquarters. That's always been the problem. Even at the revolutionary war, you had 50% of the colonists wanted to stay with the king, and they thought that was best for the common good. Last question for you. And the book again is Dark Horse Harnessing Hidden Potential in War and Life. When you're in there in the middle of horrific combat and you're hunting down a sniper, the Iraqi terrorist, and you're seeing your guys, your friends, some of them get blown to bits. All right, when you're in there, okay, were you 100% accepting of that circumstance? And I raised the question because now with our Iranian situation, we got people in this country because they got to pay a buck more a gallon at the gas pump who go, no, no, we're not going to do anything. We don't want anything to do with it. And I'm seeing kind of a flow there. So in your circumstance, did you ever question the hell am I doing here? And you know, my best friend just got blown up.

[A.J. Pashuti]

I did. I did. Quite often it's hard, I think, that, I mean, to directly answer your question. Yes, absolutely, we did. Because you see the natural, you know, I would say systems that happen inside of Washington and the policy that kind of goes back and forth and people and punditry talking about what happens in the war. But really what happens is I think I'm being careful because I'm not trying to be a politician, but I do think we should talk honestly about the cost of war. I think for the politicians in Washington, war may be about strategy or budget or policy, but for the people who fight it me and my friends, the men and women that serve who wrote a blank check to the United States of America, payable with their lives. War to me are names and faces and memories of people that may not come home. So if we do choose to send our American service members to war, which I'm not an advocate for or against war, it is a tool. But if we choose to send them there, it must be necessary, it must be lawful, and it must be worth the cost. Veterans are not victims. We are advocates of our own success. We are patriots, as we've mentioned before. But the same idea is that responsibility to be able to send an American such as myself or my comrades to war needs to be protected and it needs to be wielded very carefully.

Here is a final thought. On July 2, Thursday evening, News Nation, 9:00pm Eastern, we have a special Leland verdict, Leland Vitter and me, about the heroes and villains of the Revolutionary War. You're going to be stunned. Some of the people you think were real heroes know no. And there are a few bad guys who can down aren't that bad. Here's a clip.

[A.J. Pashuti]

250 years since July 4, 1776. Is there anything about the revolution we

[Bill O'Reilly]

don't know everything because it isn't taught anymore. The urchins don't get it in school. I mean, they get Washington, maybe they get Benjamin Franklin a little, but they don't get the why of it. They don't get the sacrifice that was made by the patriots to overthrow the most powerful man on earth, King George. They don't get any of that. Why is it important? Well, if all you want to do is spend your life on a stupid machine, a device, then it's not. But if you love your country, if you have your emotion invested in the United States, in your life here, I think you might want to know a little bit about it. All right. So there it is again. July 2, 9pm News Nation. You're going to like it. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
