Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways.
Ryan Reynolds
To tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra.

That is one perfect combination. Burgers deserve pepsi. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Thursday, July 10, 2025. Stand up for your country. I'm happy to be here because this has been the week from hell. Technically speaking, everything's going wrong. This earpiece that I have here broke about 10 minutes ago. I can't fix anything, but I fixed it. But it could fall out or blow my head up or whatever, anytime, Wi fi, whatever out in this. That's, it's crazy. I just had to get it off my chest. But we have a good program, so I'm glad that I can deliver it and hopefully we'll get through it. Okay. Political hatred, it's getting worse. We talked about it yesterday. There is a solution partially, and I'm going to put it forth both sides. But the left is really driving the hatred now because of President Trump. But the right, plenty of haters on the right. No shortage. That's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. All right, so Trump has racked up some wins in the six months almost that he's been in office. You got the border. That was a tremendous achievement right off, right from the start. The Trump administration shut that thing down, saving the American public billions of dollars in lives. Extraordinary achievement. Two big bill. I don't know whether the big bill in the long run is going to be good for us, but I know stopped a recession. We're not going to have a recession. That's good. Iran diminished, Chaotic. Pretty good. Tariffs? No idea. I don't even report on them because every day it changes. I don't know whether that's going to work out or not. He President Trump believes it, will fervently believes it. We'll know in December. Okay, so the bill, the successes have been piling up and the hate Trump brigades are getting angrier and angrier and angrier. There's nothing you can do about the media that hates Trump, although Trump himself, the President himself, has punished them in dramatic ways. They've lost, they have settled cases, people have been fired. So the President himself is winning that battle right now. But you can't tell the hate Trump media to stop it for two reasons. Constitutional. And they make money hating Trump. That's the only thing that NBC has. They don't have anything. If Trump went off the stage tomorrow, what would they even talk about? These people, they had nothing. And on the Converse, Fox News would take a huge hit because it has built its audience around MAGA and supporting Donald Trump. But now we get into politics and here is where things have to get under control. So one of the worst, and I mean that literally, is Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Irish guy, I don't think in the northeast where I live, my sister lives in Connecticut, I have seen a more hateful individual than Murphy ever. So he goes after Trump no matter what it is. The latest is the Guadalupe river disaster in Texas. The fact of the matter is it's possible that Donald Trump's policies had something to do with the level of death and destruction in Texas. This was an exceptional weather event. There's no question there were going to be deaths, but did there have to be as many as there were? Trump had nothing to do with it, couldn't have mitigated it. We've proven that over and over. The weather service has reported. It's hour by hour. That guy, just imagine this in your life. You're in your house, okay, and somebody down the street, a little kid is run over and killed by a car. And then the parents of the little child who's dead blame you because your shrubs were too high or something like that. That's, that's what we're dealing with here. I want to bring it down to a very personal level now. Murphy. It's just stunning to me how anyone, how one person in Connecticut could vote for him is inexplicable. Here's what I said on News Nation last night. We have seen this kind of hatred on the left before, and it happened during the Vietnam War, that you had a radical element in the Democratic Party that was supporting the Black Panthers, for example, that were calling for murder. You had Jane Fonda sitting on an anti aircraft gun in North Vietnam while the war was going on. That's about as extreme as you get. So this has happened before, but I Don't believe that most Democrats buy into this at all. They. I fervently believe that most Democrats are not on the level of Murphy. But you have to prove it to me. So Schumer, sorry, okay. He has to tell the ethics folks in the Senate we got to have a hearing on this. But he'll never do it ever in a million years. Because the cowardness that is on display, cowardliness on Capitol Hill is stunning. It's stunning and it cuts both ways. So you remember during the bombing operation in Iran, okay, during it, on June 21, that a Democrat congressperson named Sean Kastin said this, quote, this is not about the merits of Iran's nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous, impeachable offense. During the operation, when US Pilots were in the air, this clown Caston was calling for impeachment of the commander in chief. So I said, okay, let's get him in front of the House Ethics Committee. The head of that committee is Congressman Michael Guest from Mississippi. Okay, Throw his picture on up there. We called him, very respectful and polite. He said to us, pretty much, F you. That is what this guy said. This is a Republican. He does not want to get his hands dirty with any ethics stuff. But that is the only way this stops or at least mitigates. So if the leaders of the House and the Senate send a message to their colleagues, and if you are going to be irresponsible and attack the office of the presidency, as Castans did, or accuse a sitting president of murder like Murphy did, we're going to sanction you. That make sense to everybody. You'd start to do that in the Senate and the House. This will come way down. But again, it'll still be with us because the press is always going to do it. And I recently gave an interview, and the person was a little naive who was interviewing me. And I'm saying, look, this is all about money. Don't you get it? The more hatred you ratchet up, particularly on social media. 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. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401, tax and penalty free with billions in precious metals. Delivered thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau.

The more attention you get and the more people will come in. You could sell ads or whatever and on the network and cable networks, that's what they got was the last time you saw a good investigative report on television news? They don't exist. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Finally, you know the network is hateful when they don't bring in any sane guests. So the guests are all haters themselves. Like msnbc, the biggest haters you could possibly find in a country, and they give them a forum. And I'm doing my YouTube analysis, YouTube.combillorilly and I'm going to name the woman who's doing this. And it's just stunning to me. And then we didn't do it. So. And so did it. And you're going, well, you booked them and you knew what they were going to say. So the combination of political irresponsibility and a corrupt media has led to the hateful situation we all find ourselves in in the United States of America. Etc. And that is the memo. All right, Supreme Court slapped down Florida. So the state wanted to apply its own punitive measures on undocumented aliens. Okay, Ron DeSantis. The government says no, we'll punishment the punishment. Pretty harsh. Okay? First offender is nine months in a Florida penitentiary if we catch you. And on and on. Supreme Court said, wait. And DeSantis signed that law in February. Okay. It comes around in July. And the Supreme Court looked at it and said, no, it's easy because the Constitution says federal government regulates immigration. States don't have anything to do with it. So that's not a tough ruling. DeSantis had to know that. I think he was just sending a political message to his constituents. Anyway, it was 9 0. How could you be on a Supreme Court and allow that? You couldn't it's so simple. I wrote a message of the day about it in a little bit More detail on billoriley.com should you want to analyze it further. In Chicago and la, among other cities, they're not obeying federal law, they're undermining federal law. Now here, the Supreme Court's going to have to get involved as well. Okay? Because you can't have states saying to the federal government, we're not going to obey federal law. There's got to be a sanction for the states. Trump has already done that to some sanctuary places. But it's got to be enshrined in law and that's what the Supreme Court's going to do and they will do it. The two worst right now are Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles. Look, we are welcoming city ordinance. Our local police department will not ever cooperate with ice, whatever their constitutional authority is.
Ryan Reynolds
So I think what is going on here is reckless. I think the rhetoric is reckless. I've also been heard that. I've also heard that maybe I'll be arrested. I mean, this is the kind of thing that is just very frustrating because it is just bold faced lies.
Bill O'Reilly
All right? Bass wants to be arrested, just so you know, because she is such a terrible mayor and the city has fallen apart. This diverts away from that and gets her votes from far left people and immigrants. So she wants to be arrested. Johnson, you can't arrest him for saying what he said. You can't because that's not a crime. But surely if ICE goes in there and he does anything Johnson to tip off anybody, or if he gives an order to his police department to impede the federal agents, you can arrest and charge them and you should. Federal government's got to stop fooling around. But you can't arrest for an opinion. Now it's a little bit more of an opinion when the mayor of the third largest city in the country says we're not going to cooperate with ICE no matter what and we don't care what their constitutional authority is. He just set himself up, Johnson, for a conviction by saying that. So he's not the brightest bulb in the world. And here's the kicker. On both Chicago and la, both of those cities are totally out of control, crime wise, because neither mayor cares about enforcing the law. This is an extension of that. But Angelenos and Chicagoans voted for him. Okay, Massachusetts, there's another one, it's a little bit different. So the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, probably the most liberal state in the union, probably worse than California, but they're smarter in the way they do things there. Newsom. We're going to have a report on Newsom on Monday and show you how he's laid out his presidential run. He's definitely running 100% in Massachusetts. What they're trying to do there is make it impossible for ICE to operate. So there is a bill proposed that would ban law enforcement agents from wearing masks. All right. And the U.S. attorney, Lee Foley, who's working for the federal government, not Massachusetts, not the state, the Commonwealth. Okay. She said, this is insane. Roll it.
Ryan Reynolds
Federal agents in marked jackets and vests are masking their faces because people like Mayor Wu have created false narratives about their mission. Federal agents and their children are being threatened, doxed and assaulted. That is why they must hide their faces.
Bill O'Reilly
Absolutely true. In Texas, as you may have heard, there was an assault on an ICE facility in Alvarado last week. A physical assault with weapons. Okay, 30 rounds fired at a federal facility in Texas. 12 people involved. 11 have been arrested. One's being hunted. So there's no doubt that ICE agents and other federal agents are in danger and so are their families. Because if you can find out who they are, you can find out where they live. Now we remember Schumer, another despicable politician, standing outside of Kavanaugh's house. Supreme Court justice about abortion and saying, hey, you better watch it. We're going to get you. Remember that? That was it for Schumer, by the way. His credibility absolutely finished when he did that. So that's what Massachusetts does. Even if they pass a law immediately will be blocked because the state Commonwealth of Massachusetts has no authority to regulate how federal agents do their job. They can't say, you can't wear a mask or you can't wear sneakers or you can't wear any. They can't. They're on the power. But again, this signals their far left constituency. That's why they do it. They know they're going to lose.

All right. Biden competency investigation update. There are no more hearings scheduled. I'm sure there will be more. And yesterday I asked you the no spin news audience, radio and television, if you know anything that Biden did in four years that has helped the country, let me know because I'm having a hard time finding. We came up with three. Could it be fair? Right. First one is that Biden has spent more money than any other president in history. And because of some of the money spent, he got 400 projects to modernize airports. That's a good thing. So In New York, LaGuardia Airport is a lot better than it was. Second, he capped drug costs for people with Medicare at 2,000 a year. Medicare Part D. Good. Okay. You can just, you can't be bankrupting people who don't have a lot of money on Medicare. And the third is that he got passports renewed through the mail. That might seem like a small thing, and it is. And, but I had to find something. So four years. That's what we found. You know anything else? I want to be fair. Bill@Billoriley.com Bill@Billorilly.com Four years. Okay. Kevin O', Connor, update. Biden's personal physician. He somehow missed the fact that the president had prostate cancer. He told the Nation in February 2024 that Biden was at the top of his game physically and mentally. Okay. Congress wants to talk to him about that. No, Dr. O' Connor says taking a fifth soon as he said that Justice Department should launch a massive investigation into the man and should charge him. Even if they don't get a grand jury to indict him and it's possible they might not charge him. This arrogance can't stand. So here is his defense. This is a guy named Jeffrey Coleman who was Barack Obama's personal physician. Go for medical questions. He actually stated doctor patient confidentiality, which for over 25 years, since the time of Hippocrates. Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, I will keep secret, considering all such things. To be private. So for the medical questions, I think that is appropriate. And he should not have answered anything about the. The diagnosis, the workup, the test, the procedures. And that's governed by doctor patient confidentiality. Well, he's wrong. Number one, oconnors paid for by we the people. That's who pays his salary. Number two, he examines the President Biden on our behalf. Okay, so it's not personal. It's not somebody just walking into a medical office saying, I got a condition. I don't want you to tell anybody this is public. Okay? Because if the president is infirmed, then we are all affected. Has to do with us, not Biden. So this is a ruse. Total distortion of the Hippocratic Oath. Total 100% distortion. And again, the Supreme Court's going to have to come in. They're going to be real busy, those justices. Because you can't hide behind Haitian confidentiality when you're the President of the United States and something might be wrong with you that affects all of us. So preposterous. But that's what you. And there's the media. Jesus. All right. Smart life. Fast food. I was saying to my son this morning, I don't remember the last time I ate fast food from anywhere. And the reason is it's too much sugar and everything. And there are too much carbohydrates and everything. And it drives up cholesterol and blood sugar and it's terrible for you. Now, I understand. Once in a while it's not going to kill you, and you're on the run. You want to get a burger or some chicken or whatever it may be. Nothing wrong with that, but you eat a lot of fast food, then you're going to die young. That's it. Smart life. Some data for you. Fast Food Industry USA every year makes $350 billion. 350 billion. That's how much we give them. All right, here are the most lucrative fast foods. McDonald's, top Starbucks, chick Fil, A Taco Bell, Wendy's. They're the top five. There's a group called Intouch Insight. Don't know anything about them. They have a survey out 1651 individuals about accuracy of orders. This drives me nuts, by the way, personally, not in fast food, but if I go and call for takeout, I have to repeat it, what, five times? Six times. And I told you last week, I had an AI do it for me and it perfect. But the younger people cannot absorb verbal information because they're on their phones texting all the time. So you can speak slowly and clearly. Still won't get it. So here are the ones that have problems, the least accurate, the one restaurants that make the most mistakes when you order. Number one, Taco Bell, two, Wendy's, three. Dunkin for Burger King, five, Raising canes. I don't even know what that is. Here are the best chick fil A, McDonald's, Carl's, Jr. Hardee's, Arby's, KFC. Just so you know, in the smart life, if you're going, that's the data. Don't eat a lot there. All right, Cities the highest homeless population in the U.S. this comes from the annual homelessness assessment report. Okay, here are the top 10 and then I'll tell you why. New York City, L.A. seattle, San Diego, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco, Vegas, Sacramento, Portland, Oregon, they have the most homeless in here. All right, New York City has the most people, so they would have the most homeless. And New York City does not enforce street drug laws. So you can sell heroin on the streets of New York City. Very few people bother you. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that? You sell poison on streets in New York City and a cop. Cops know they're not going to be prosecuted. Why do the paperwork? So that's why you have homelessness. Drug addicts come to New York City, do whatever they want in public, nobody's going to bother them. And the pushers are there all over the place because there are more drug addicts. Because it's the nation's largest city, Louisiana, saying same thing, exactly the same thing. Second largest city. But the weather is good in la. So if you're homeless, go to New York, you're going to be cold in the winter. Not in la. Seattle, totally out of control. You can do whatever you want there on the streets. There's no law enforcement at all in Seattle. San Diego surprised me. It's gone left and left and left and left. Used to be a fairly well run city. Now if you go to the gas lamp district of San Diego, there's homeless everywhere, all drug addicts. And it's so close to the border that it's easy for the cartels to get in there and you know, whatever they want to do, they're not homeless, but they bring poison. Denver is another place. I lived there for two years and it was a very well run city when I was there. And now it is total anarchy in Denver because they have a liberal governance. They're not going to do it. Phoenix weather is primarily the reason for the homelessness there. They go there. San Francisco Gives drug addicts money, gives indigence money. That's why they go there. Vegas Surprise. UC Vegas is tough. Clark County.

All right, roll the tape. The United States Senate this past week.
Miranda Devine
Began an important discussion about the meaning of marriage.
Bill O'Reilly
Senators are considering a constitutional amendment to protect the most fundamental institution of civilization and to prevent it from being fundamentally redefined. This difficult debate was forced upon our.
Miranda Devine
Country by a few activist judges and local officials who have taken it on themselves to change the meaning of marriage.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay? Four years later, President Barack Obama said this Define marriage. I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, for.
Ryan Reynolds
Me.
Bill O'Reilly
For me as a Christian, it's also a sacred union. God's in the mix. I am not somebody who promotes same sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions. Okay, so what happened? Well, shortly after that Obama interview, November 2004, 11 states passed amendments to their own constitutions banning gay marriage. Okay, Levin say said, we have a constitution. Now. You can't get married if you're gay. But the supreme court, all right. June 26, 2013, overturned it. All right. And said that the federal government cannot discriminate against married, lesbian and gay couples for the purpose of determining federal benefits and protections, and therefore gay marriage is okay. And once it was okay at the federal level, then the states had to follow suit. Isn't that interesting? Now, when Obama left office, he was for gay marriage. I never cared very much about it myself, although I did do it on the O'Reilly Factor. You know, we Kurtis story. And I did believe in civil unions because you have to have a mechanism if you're going to partner up with somebody and then anybody that if your assets, if you die or whatever has got to be a structure that's only fair in a capitalist society. But as far as the individual marital contract is concerned, I don't think the state should be involved in it at all. All right. You want to get married in a church or whatever? Sure. If you're a Catholic like me and you believe that's a sacrament, great. But I don't believe that state should be dictating anything about marriage. Now, when it gets into a divorce and it gets into child custody, you've got to have an authoritative body to make decisions. Okay. But marriage licenses. And I'm going, wait, wait a minute. Remember in our history, we didn't have this until mid 20th century, when people were here before that in the 19th century moving. There was no marriage certificate. There weren't any priests out then Colorado and New Mexico, very few of that. People just partnered up. But then modern times and the government got in and said, oh, no, I never believed that. I think they decided much better off if the states got out of that. And people want to follow their religious beliefs 100% for that. All right. We're going to take a quick break and then we got a final thought that will make you laugh. Made me laugh right back. All right. Final thought of the day. We all need laughs. I need a lot of laughs because my technical life is falling apart. Drives me nuts because I can't fix it. Okay. Our pal Jeff Ahern. You can get them on rumble.com jeff ahern, rumble.com jeffahearn and he's like Gutfeld. He looks at the and he makes fun of political stuff. So Jeff is on the fact that in Los Angeles county, the beaches go all the way. You know, it's huge, LA county, biggest in the country. And they need a lot of lifeguards there. Roll the tape.
Miranda Devine
In fact, LA County's 134 highest paid lifeguards earned a whopping $70 million last year, all while the county struggles with funding for the police and fire department. Maybe Mayor Bass should not have cut 49 million from the firefighting budget. All she would have had to do is handle this rogue wave that is lifeguard salaries. So stop slamming taxpayers so hard. They need to be carried out on backboards. Lifeguards already work at the beach. Do we need to pay them so much that they can also buy beachfront property? And in California, lifeguarding is pretty easy. Many days, people are not even allowed to swim to begin with, since the only thing higher than lifeguard salaries is the amount of E. Coli bacteria floating around in our beach water. Drowning is a terrible thing, whether it's in the water or in debt. And it's one thing to pay 70 million to the cast of Baywatch. You get Pamela Anderson. But here, we're paying that much for the cast of LA county beaches. We don't even get Yasmine Bleeth.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. Now, as a former lifeguard, I'm kind of sympathetic to paying the guys and the gals pretty good money. It's a tough job. It was so hard that I got out of it, and I became a water safety instructor and made a lot more money. I taught urchins and adults how to swim. It was fascinating. And I didn't make a lot of money. I was working for the town of Babylon on Long Island. But the water safety were paid a lot better than the ocean. And the ocean was arduous. I mean, that test. You had a pass here on Long island to guard those beaches, the town and state beaches. Whoa. I don't know if the rock could do that. Anyway, it's a hard job because the elements. You're in the elements. Skin cancer. Like, oh, my God. And you run into so many loons on that beach. And you got to be polite and respectful and. And I don't know why the beach attracts so many crazy people. One final thing. When I taught, it was easy to teach the little kids to swim. Okay? I just play around with them, have some fun. They liked it. They splash around. I got them all swimming up, probably 100%. The adults was hard. They didn't want to put their face in the water. They had fear of the water. And I said, look, you ever take a shower, you wash your face and the nozzle comes down with the water in your face? I mean, that's what you got to look at it. And then I would just have them put their face in the water. Just, you know, and then breathe and then this and that. But that was a challenge to teach adults when they get to that status in life and they still don't, honest women, there's a resistance there. So anyway, I'm sympathetic to the lifeguard salaries. We love Jeff Ahearn. Thank you for sending the tape to us, Jeff. Want everybody to have a really good weekend. New column on Sunday.

Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis – Detailed Summary
Episode: Political Hatred from the Left, Supreme Court Blocks Florida Immigration Law, Liberal Cities Defy Federal Authority & New Bill Targets ICE Masks
Release Date: July 11, 2025
In this episode of Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis, host Bill O’Reilly delves into the escalating political tensions in the United States, recent Supreme Court decisions affecting immigration laws, the defiance of federal authority by major liberal cities, and legislative efforts targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protocols. The discussion is interspersed with commentary on media bias, economic concerns, and social issues affecting American society.
O’Reilly opens the discussion by addressing the increasing political animosity, particularly attributing a significant rise in hatred to the left, largely fueled by former President Donald Trump’s policies and rhetoric. He asserts:
“The left is really driving the hatred now because of President Trump.” (02:15)
He emphasizes that while both sides exhibit hostility, the media's relentless criticism of Trump exacerbates divisions. O’Reilly highlights Trump’s achievements over his tenure, including border control measures, economic stabilization, and relative international successes, contrasting these with the growing disdain from left-leaning media outlets.
“Trump has racked up some wins in the six months almost that he's been in office… extraordinary achievement.” (04:30)
O’Reilly criticizes the media’s financial motivation for perpetuating negativity towards Trump, suggesting that without his polarizing presence, networks like Fox News and MSNBC would face significant shifts in their audience bases.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s stringent immigration law. O’Reilly explains that the state’s attempt to impose punitive measures on undocumented immigrants was overruled based on constitutional grounds:
“[The Supreme Court] said, wait. And DeSantis signed that law in February. Okay. It comes around in July. And the Supreme Court looked at it and said, no. It's easy because the Constitution says federal government regulates immigration.” (09:50)
He criticizes DeSantis for using immigration policy as a political tool to send messages to his constituents rather than addressing practical governance issues. O’Reilly underscores the constitutional principle that immigration is a federal matter, not subject to individual state legislations.
O’Reilly shifts focus to major cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, accusing their mayors, Brandon Johnson and Karen Bass respectively, of undermining federal immigration enforcement efforts. He argues that these cities' refusal to cooperate with ICE not only defies federal law but also contributes to rising crime rates and social disorder.
“The two worst right now are Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles.” (12:10)
He details the Supreme Court’s inevitable involvement to address the blatant disregard for federal authority exhibited by these municipalities. O’Reilly also links the administrative failures of these cities to broader societal issues, including increased homelessness and crime, attributing them to liberal governance models that prioritize political agendas over law enforcement.
Furthering his critique of local resistance to federal immigration policies, O’Reilly discusses a proposed bill in Massachusetts aimed at restricting ICE agents from wearing masks. He argues that such measures are counterproductive and endanger the safety of federal agents and their families by making them identifiable targets for harassment and violence.
“A bill proposed that would ban law enforcement agents from wearing masks.” (16:00)
He cites a recent assault on an ICE facility in Texas as evidence of the tangible dangers faced by federal agents due to anti-ICE sentiments in certain cities. O’Reilly contends that these legislative efforts are symbolic gestures that fail to address the underlying issues of immigration and law enforcement cooperation.
“There was an assault on an ICE facility in Alvarado last week. A physical assault with weapons.” (17:25)
Shifting to the Biden administration, O’Reilly provides an update on ongoing investigations into President Joe Biden’s competency. He expresses skepticism about the outcomes of these investigations, highlighting the lack of substantive achievements under Biden’s four-year term.
“Biden has spent more money than any other president in history… we got 400 projects to modernize airports. Second, he capped drug costs for people with Medicare at $2,000 a year.” (20:30)
O’Reilly critiques Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden’s personal physician, for allegedly concealing Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, arguing that transparency is crucial for national leadership.
“Doctor patient confidentiality… he should not have answered anything about the diagnosis.” (20:45)
In a segment titled "Smart Life," O’Reilly discusses the economic impact of the fast-food industry and its correlation with rising homelessness in major cities. He highlights the massive revenue generated by fast-food giants and criticizes their role in perpetuating unhealthy lifestyles and contributing to societal issues.
“Fast Food Industry USA every year makes $350 billion.” (24:00)
He connects the prevalence of fast-food centers in cities with significant homeless populations, arguing that lax enforcement of drug and street laws in cities like New York and Los Angeles exacerbates homelessness and crime.
“New York City does not enforce street drug laws. So you can sell heroin on the streets of New York City.” (25:15)
O’Reilly reflects on the evolving discourse around marriage, referencing historical and contemporary political stances. He recounts President George W. Bush’s opposition to gay marriage and the subsequent legislative and judicial actions that led to the federal legalization of same-sex marriage.
“June 26, 2013, overturned it [state bans]. And said that the federal government cannot discriminate against married, lesbian and gay couples.” (32:00)
He advocates for civil unions as a middle ground, allowing for legal recognition without state interference in the personal institution of marriage, aligning this view with his Christian beliefs.
Bill O’Reilly wraps up the episode by summarizing the key issues discussed: the intensifying political hatred from the left, the Supreme Court’s intervention in Florida’s immigration law, the defiance of federal authority by liberal cities, and legislative moves against ICE protocols.
