Welcome to the no Spin News. March 20, 2025. Stand up for your country. I am in West Palm Beach, Florida. Not a bad place to be in the middle of March. I am down here, as I explained last night, to help Joe Namath, the legendary football quarterback with his benefit. That is this evening. And Joe has become a friend and he's a very good guy. And a cause to help football players with brain injuries is top notch in my opinion. You can help joe@jo namath1word.org Anyway, the political scene remains very intense. As you know. Nobody is backing off the hatred and that's not a good thing. Tribalism is seized control of the entire nation and I'll deal with that in a final thought. I'm trying to break this, by the way. I'm not a tribe guy and you know that. You're not here watching me or listening to me. If you want ideology, we just don't give it to you. All right. We are a fact based broadcast and that is the subject of this evening's Talking points because there is a new poll out, Fox News poll. Fox News is, ah, you know, they don't do well presidentially, socially. I don't know. This is 994 registered voters, fair sample. And they're asking about President Trump and Congress. Here is question number one. Do you approve the job Trump is doing as president? 49% yes. Disapprove 51%. Now that is a tie for Trump's all time approval rating in this poll which was April20, 25 years ago. He approved at 49%. Then it's a good number for Donald Trump, particularly because of all the tariffs and all of the chaos and the media continuing to attack him. 49% is a good number for him. You should be happy with that. And not many people are in the middle on this. So that's the second question. Bipartisan. 92% of Republicans approve of Donald Trump. And I'm going to deal with some of the 8% in a little while that don't. Okay. And 92% of Democrats disapprove. In fact, he drives many of those people absolutely insane. That is tribalism. So there's no wiggle room here. Trump good, Trump bad. Okay, I'm kind of like that. I have to be honest with everybody and I always am. I'm a black and white kind of guy. I don't not live in the gray zone. But I understand that no president is perfect. Donald Trump makes mistakes and when he does, I point them out and he doesn't like that. But that's not my concern. My concern is you. But overall, you know, if I'm comparing Donald Trump in March 2025 to Joe Biden in March 2024, there's no comparison as far as the health of the nation is concerned, none. I can't even explain how bad he was. You know, it take me three hours. Trump is making some mistakes, but his overall goal to be fiscally responsible, to bring more jobs, more prosperity, and to calm things down overseas is Good. Okay. But 92% of the Democrats don't see it that way. The next question is Congress. Do you approve of the job Republicans in Congress are doing? 55% say yes. No, I'm sorry, correct that. 55% say no. 43% say yes. All right. Nobody likes Congress these days. There are a bunch of pinheads in there, you know that. Not everyone, but you know, they don't get things done the way they should on a democratic side. Only 30% of Americans approve of the Democrats in Congress. That's because they're mean and they're dominated by radical leftists like Ocasio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren. They dominate because the media loves them. They get the airtime. 66% don't like the job Democrats are doing in economy. It's a big number. All right. It's 11% higher than the Republicans. Democratic Party is in big trouble. Finally, do you approve of the job J.D. vance is doing as vice president? Approved. 45. Disapprove. 53. That's not fair. It's two months Vance's VP. It's just not fair. So let's let the man breathe a little bit. Let's see what he has. I'm sure he'll be tasked with some things, but that, that's just off the top. That, that's just an emotional vote. Doesn't mean anything. All right, so summing up is this polarization at an all time high in our modern society. Here Nixon was very polarizing in the 60s. In Vietnam, that was pretty intense. We're way beyond that now. Way beyond Trump is way beyond Nixon. As far as polarization is concerned. Civil war was the worst and people were killing each other and that'll always be the worst. But now we are a nation that is divided. I don't see detente anytime soon. I'm trying. And I will tell you what we're doing at the end of the program. That is the memo. Let's talk about Elon Musk. Okay, so Tesla is being attacked. That's wrong. There have been 19 attacks on Tesla related situations. 19. Now, this is the FBI and this is a test for Cash Patel, the new FBI chief. You got to tamp this down. So some examples. Las Vegas, Molotov cocktails, all right. Thrown at a Tesla location. Tuesday of this week, Portland, Oregon. It's still a radical left town. Gunshots fired at a Tesla dealership. Gunshots in Tigard, which is just outside of Portland. And then in Boston area, Littleton, Mass. Half dozen Tesla charging stations were set ablaze. So this is domestic terrorism. Gotta stop. And I trust the FBI will get these people and prosecute them federally to the full extent of the law. Now, I told Sean Hannity on his program Wednesday and we have that posted on BillOriley.com that my investigation into this shows Antifa is involved. Remember Antifa? Portland, Oregon based. They don't have an office like Black Lives Matter or anything. They don't do that. It lives on the Internet. And they have a radical list and that's how they communicate. But they communicate privately as well to avoid scrutiny from the authorities. So a lot of these things are Antifa directed. Just keep that in mind. That's going to come out. It's important because when you have a radical group like the Ku Klux Klan, which was destroyed by the federal government, okay, the FBI destroyed it. You got to apply the same pressure on the left. Antifa. It's not happening in a vacuum. Today's episode is sponsored by Delete Me. Have you or someone you know been a victim of identity theft?

Okay, so on television, the conservative commentators are going wild with this Tesla Elon Musk story. Roll the tape. Radical left really is a threat to this country. There's no other way to say it. It is a cancer. And the proof is right here in these videos that we're starting to see everywhere. They're just lighting an American electric car company on fire every chance they get. Those astronauts may not be here safely back on earth without Elon Musk. People should be rooting for him, thanking him. But because of his partnership with President Trump, the left has somehow turned anything associated with Musk into a target. That is not free speech. You know, when you see vandalism and hatred and you know, when will it end when a Tesla driver is pulled out of their car and beaten, you know, with the leftist mob, then cheer that. But they seem to be cannibalizing their own ideas and, you know, cheering for the failure of someone who could have, you know, accidentally been the one who moved their progressive agenda more forward than anyone else. Okay, Talking about, you know, global warming and electric cars and all of that. Now on the left, there doesn't seem to be a lot of condemnation of the attacks on Elon Musk and his properties. And there was not huge adulation when SpaceX brought those astronauts home this week. I hope you've noticed that in fact, some on the left, they kind of like all this roll of tape. At least five Teslas blew up. One from the Molotov and four because that's just what Teslas do sometimes. And no one should be setting fires. You could kill somebody. You could hurt somebod. Elon Musk might not care about other people, but decent Americans should. Elon Musk might not care about other people. I don't know what's happened to him. Kimmel. I had a very good working relationship with him at one time. I don't know what he's doing. I don't know what Disney's doing. Disney owns abc. I don't know what they're doing. I mean, they get the View, they got Kimmel. Good Morning America has fallen apart completely. Their world News program, David Muir. That's okay. They're not crazy over there. I used to work for abc, so I've got some skin in this game. I was a correspondent under Peter Jennings. But what Disney's doing, okay, you're promoting this far left progressive agenda. Disney, is that what you really want to do? I guess it is, because they've been doing it for a while now. NBC, Comcast, they do it. No doubt about it. CBS does it. And it's all because of the individuals running these corporations. They make the decisions. If I'm running Disney, I wouldn't cancel the View, but I would certainly put two conservative women on it. I'd get rid of Joy Behar because she's irresponsible now. I don't believe she's in control of herself. I keep Goldberg. I don't think Whoopi Goldberg should be silenced. But bring on two and have two liberals and then have a rotation of it for a fifth. You can't do that. Disney, it's not hard. And it'd be a better show. So I don't know. I really. I like Jimmy Kimmel. It hurts me to see this kind of radicalism from him. Colbert, I don't like. I don't like anything about him. Never have. So I don't care what he does. But Kimmel, I got a little skin in the game with him. Sorry about the cliche. All right. Donald Trump's going to sign an executive order. When you're watching this, probably already has to dissolve the Department of Education. Okay? He's going to dismantle it and it's gone. But it isn't gone because it's unconstitutional. Now, Trump knows that he has five White House counsels. They're smart. I know some of them. They know this is unconstitutional, but that's not the point, the point for President Trump is to get this in front of the American people so they see the corruption. Now, why do I say it's unconstitutional? Well, let me quote from the Constitution, all right. Congress's ability to abolish a federal department stems from its legislative power to create and repeal laws. As the Constitution vests all legislative power in Congress to close an apartment, Congress would need to amend or repeal the law that established it. That is congress.gov you can look it up. There isn't a federal judge in the country who's going to say, yeah, you can do it. No, but again, that's not the point. Go into the system. There'll be a pause on it. What Trump is doing is pretty smart. If you back. He doesn't care. By the way, Donald Trump does not care that the view and the left wing media will condemn him, does it? All right. He wants to get the issue in front of everybody and this is the way to do it. He did the same thing with usaid. The same thing. Okay, but it's not abolished. And I'll give you the stats in a moment. Now, why, why blow up the Department of Education? There is a study from a group called Parents Defending Education, says it's a nonpartisan group. Our investigation says it leans right. That's okay. Doesn't mean the study isn't any good. The study says hundreds of millions of dollars of grants to colleges and high schools and things like that are used for dei. And Trump wrote an executive order says no more dei. Okay, so let me give you some examples. Georgia State University got $8 million to launch a class on diversity and social justice, on understanding and applying multicultural concepts, developing awareness of one's cultural identity, and on and on and on and on. No, that's based on race. You don't pay for that. The college wants to have an electric course on that. Okay. But the taxpayer shouldn't be required to fund it. How about another one? Indiana University got 6 million to teach anti oppression, heterosexism and white privilege. No, I don't want my money going to that. And on and on and on and on. So Donald Trump says we're going to just knock it out. So here's what he's doing. So USAID is not closed. Right? It has 300 people left. 92% have been let go. Furloughed. Okay, so you just got the department and that's what's going to happen to department of it. They're just going to furlough federal employees and they'll keep A skeleton crew because it's unconstitutional and knock it out. You can't. And that's what the Trump administration will do. Finally, on this issue, you know, fascism and blood, the President of the United States has a responsibility to look out for every single tax dollar where it goes and make sure there's no fraud and there's no violation of federal law. If you sign an executive order, which Trump did, saying no more DEI in the federal government, and you're sending $8 million to a college that's teaching DEI, come on. The states should run their own educations. All right? Just like the abortion thing, it goes back to the states because they're on the ground. And then we'll see what states perform well and what states don't. And then the people in those states can vote for better people if they're not performing well. Does that make sense? Okay, GOP descent to 92% of Republicans support President Trump. Who are the other eight? Three of them are in the U.S. senate. Mitch McConnell hates Trump. Okay? Susan Collins of Maine doesn't hate Trump, but is a liberal Republican. And Lisa Murkowski of Alaska hates Trump. So two of them hate him. One of them is a liberal, liberal Republican. All right, all of the other senators in the Republican side will support pretty much everything Trump does. There's only one congressman on the Republican side in the House that won't cooperate with Donald Trump, and that's this guy Massie, right, from Kentucky. He's a nitwit. I don't know how he got elected, but you people in Kentucky, you ought to take a look at this guy. Anyway, here's what Murkowski said about the Trump administration. Go well, figure it out. Because they're looking at how. How many things are being thrown at me, and it's like, maybe I just better duck and cover. That's why you've got. That's why you've got everybody just like, zip lip not saying a word because they're afraid they're going to be taken down. They're going to be primaried. They're going to be. They're going to be given names in the media. You know what? We cannot be cowed into not speaking up. Today's episode is sponsored by Delete Me.

Donald Trump takes it personally when you go against him and he'll come after you. That's true. And this isn't whataboutism. But Donald Trump learned that from Nancy Pelosi, who is by far the most vicious speaker of the House, since I don't even think of anybody. I think she's the most vicious speaker of the House in the history of the House of Representatives. That's what Pelosi did. Okay, that doesn't justify anything. I'm just giving you the history on it now. I would not vote for Lisa Murkowski, not because she dissents from Trump. I kind of admire that she has the pluck to be an independent thinker. But Lisa Murkowski does not have a traditional point of view for this country. And most Republican voters are traditionalists. They believe that we live in a noble nation and that we are powerful because of our traditions. Generally speaking, we're not talking about slavery or appropriation of Native American lands. We're not talking about that every country has horrors. But we're talking about overall. Lisa Berkowski didn't believe that. She's a zealot in certain issues, like abortion. She loves abortion. Okay, I don't. I don't love it. I wouldn't outlaw it, but I think it's absolutely an ultra serious situation when you take the life of a fetus. Murkowski doesn't care. So she and I are not anywhere near where I would vote for her. I would consider the Democrat ran against her in Alaska. But Murkowski is what I call a issue oriented politician. She has no use for Trump because Trump is a traditionalist. So she votes against him almost all the time. It's okay. The people in Alaska elected her. I don't think she'll be reelected. I can make that prediction now, but that's where we are. So there's a very minute dissent on the part of Republicans. But if you are a Republican politician in Congress and you go against Trump, Trump's going to try to hurt you. That is true. Okay, media madness. So this is a little complicated. NBC News has let MSNBC go there. It's up for sale. You could buy it if you have the money. In fact, I know a billionaire and I'm trying to convince that man to buy MSNBC because I think you could turn it into something that would be positive for the nation. You have to fire 80% of the people there, but you can do that. But NBC still has a legal obligation. So whatever is done on msnbc, you could sue NBC, the parent company Comcast out of Philadelphia. So now they got lawyers, NBC lawyers watching everything because that place is a pit of defamation. So this week alone they had an issue. Two on air corrections. Go. Last night, the Last Word reported on excerpts of an interview between the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsa Gabbard and an Indian TV news network in which she said Trump was good friends with the world leader. Now, we said that world leader was Vladimir Putin, but the full interview was subsequently released and it showed that Gabbard was refused. Was referring to Donald Trump and the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Okay? So you don't make mistakes like that unless you hate Trump, which that guy does. So you should get the full transcript. We care about that. But he was forced. They forced him. They, the lawyers, the NBC lawyers. Just say that. Here's the second one. Go. The reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our Nation's history, a 30 year old man or woman isn't doing as well as his or her parents were at 30. I want to make a comment, though, just about a word that was used in this interview. Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found liable of sexual abuse, not rape. But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse. It's embarrassing. Now, what's really embarrassing is you book a guest like Scott Galloway, who's an irresponsible zealot why would you put that guy on the air? You know what he's going to say? He's a college professor. He's a radical leftist. Why would you put him on air? Because you want a bastrop, that's why. So I don't know people over there, when you have two powerful organizations like this, like Disney and NBC, and you're every day running this stuff out the corporations, and Trump has kind of hinted around this, that he's kind of fed up with this kind of stuff. So I hate to be repetitive. You know me, I like to advance, advance, advance. But something interesting happened on the View this week. Let's roll a tape on that. I hate to make speeches, but my father, my uncles all fought in World War II so that we would not have a fascist in the White House. And this is what we're getting right now. And I can almost cry today for these people, these vets, who are losing everything. Why don't the Democrats go out there and march and stop fighting? Fighting with each other? I'm sick of it. Well, I don't know, Joy, that they're fighting with each other. They're not fighting a unified fight. That is the problem. All right, so look, number one, the vets aren't losing everything. That's ridiculous. Number two, she says, I don't like to make speeches. I was like saying Trump doesn't like to make speeches. So Disney, as I just mentioned, what are you doing every day? Why? Why are you doing this? The minuscule amount of money you make on that show, you only got 2 million viewers. Maybe a few more. I'm making that much money on it. Crazy happiness. Are you a happy person? And when they asked me that, I go depending on what day it is. So the United States is not a happy country, according to Gallup that issues an annual World Happiness Report. Let me explain this to you. So what it comes down to in America are two things. More and more of us are being isolated, that we eat alone, we live alone, we don't have a lot of companionship, and the world is kind of closing it. The other is the younger Americans who don't want to compete. This is the most competitive society on Earth. You live in Russia, China, you're told what to do, and you better do it in Europe. It's cradle the grave entitlements. There's no incentive to go beyond that. If you make a lot of money, you have to move to America. All right, hello, Paul McCartney and every English rock star. Okay, so here we compete. Competition's Hard. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. When you lose, you're not happy. If you never compete like in the communist countries, there's no competition. You do what you're told. In the eu, it's like, oh, you know, I'm only going to work five hours a day. Why should I work anymore? They're taxing me at 80%. Try to get a sandwich at 1pm in Stockholm. Not going to do it. All right, so once you get into the populations getting isolated because our family structure is breaking down here, unfortunately, and the competition is still very intense, you get a lot of automatic people. Here is the list at a Gallup of the happiest countries. All right, I'll run them down. Finland. Ooh, you better have earmuffs. But if you have earmuffs, a big coat and mittens, you could be happy. Finland's very few Finns and they seem to be having a good time doing whatever they do over there. Denmark, another Scandinavian. Iceland. Okay. Sweden. Scandinavia. Netherlands. Cradle the grave. All of those countries. Costa Rica is happy. I didn't really like Costa Rica when I was there, but I'm happy they're happy. Norway, another Scandinavian. Israel. The Jews in Israel are happy, I guess because nobody's. I guess because they have freedom over there and every place else, they get hammered. Luxembourg, tiny little European country. Mexico. They're happy. I don't believe that for a second. If they were so happy, why are millions coming to America? Like a bull in a China shop, Donald Trump came in to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but with his bold reform and rejuvenation agenda comes so many legal questions nationwide. Injunctions, are they constitutional? What's the deal with birthright citizenship? What about the administrative state? Can he actually clean the deep state and end the politicization of the federal bureaucracy? I'm Josh Hammer, host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

Not too many people live There a lot of stuff to do. New Zealand, I have not been. I want to go. They're happy. Switzerland is happy. A lot of yodeling. Belgium. Okay. And Ireland. They're happy in Irish Ireland because the pubs stay open to about 1 instead of. They used to have to close 10. Now I am making fun of iron. The Irish. I just. If I had said use the Pope, stay open late, the pub stay open later. About another ethnic group. Cancel. Hello. But Irish, you can do that. You can do that. And I'm glad we have a sense of humor about ourselves. So Those are the 15 happiest countries. United States ranks 24th in world happiness. Our highest we ever got was 11th in 2012. We are not happy campers. All right, the secret to happiness, Smart life. I'm going to give you some important tips here. Number one is you have to control your life. And I know that's hard. So you have a job. You got a bad boss making you miserable. Got to leave the job. Not right away. You find another job and then you go, see you boss isn't going to change. I had to do that a number of times. I remember I was working in Denver and I loved it there. KMGH tv. I did great. I was really ascendant. And then they had a management change and they brought in this idiot and I went, I'm not working for this guy. So I got another job. Now, it took me about six months, but I knew right away I got to work for him. Sometimes you got to do that. That's number one. Control your life. Sometimes you can't say you got an out of control kid. That's really tough. All right? But you got to try money. You got to have it in America. Gotta. Gotta make it, gotta save it. Okay? Companionship, Gotta have it. But choose wisely, Be patient. No substance abuse. Get involved with that. You're not gonna be happy. All right? So you want to be happy, Be loyal, be a good friend, keep in touch, do kind things to other people. I guarantee 100% you adopt that philosophy, you'll be happy. Hydration. Now, this is a riot. A company called True Lemon put out a poll. Is bogus. Totally. So the more water you drink, the happier you are. So they do this because they sell water. So anyway, if you've noticed the urchins, the younger the under 30, it's like they're camels with the water. Now I go to mass and people have bring water bottles to mass. I guess they're hoping the priest changes the water to wine. I. I Don't know what they're doing. And I went to a mass where the priest had water up at the pulpit. Out of control. You are not going to be happier if you drink gallons of water, period. Most Americans have not written a personal letter in five years, according to cbs. I know that people are too lazy to curse it. They want to do the phone. But if you do, write thank you notes and that will be noticed. Stan history. March 20, 1852, Uncle Tom's cabin is published. If you have not read it, please do so. Harriet Beecher Stowe changed the country, made African Americans more sympathetic. First year it sold 300,000 copies in 1852. Unbelievable. Abraham Lincoln met with Ms. Stowe and said, quote, this is the little lady who made this big war. Because abolitionists started to rise even more so after Uncle Tom's Cabin. So it was published 173 years ago today. All right, final thought about what's going to happen in this action packed show in a moment. Okay, final thought of the day. As I told you up top, I'm trying to knock some of this tribalism back. So I invited Stephen A. Smith and Chris Cuomo, two diverse points of view, to join me on stage for a live show called the Three American Show. It's going to be a blast. It's going to be funny, but it's going to be serious. Going to talk about serious stuff. And I want to give you a preview of what we are doing on News Nation. Go. My wardrobe is going to be on point. You understand what I'm saying? I will be ready. Are you going to have it made just for the occasion tonight? Are you going to have it made? I'll be ready. You know what? You don't have to tell me because whoever's doing your pr, I'm sure there'll be pieces out in advance about like Armani or something saying that you should run for president. It's going to be like Zenya is going to say you're going to run for president. You got a pen there and a pad there, Stephen A. I just got my phone. I don't have a penal pad on me, Bill. All right, you put it into your little phone and I'll speak a little slower. Oh, listen, China can help. Will you just make a point? Make a point, you bully. Make a point. Let him come. Let him come. Did I hurt your feelings? Did I hear you guys? You are a bully, not me. I'm going smack you around in Long Island. This is when you get two wimps and a Macho man in the show, right? Here you are. Just make your pen and paper. Go ahead. You shut up and I will my. I'm listening, I'm listening. I'm sorry. I just talk every once in a while. It's my show. All right. So it's not going to be that it might be that chaotic. We were talking about Stephen A's contention about Russia and why it's going to be hard to get Russia away from China. And I'm going, no, it's not. No, it's not. China can't help Russia. China needs Russian oil, not vice versa. America can help Russia. Get them back into G7, get them back in the real world. That's what that topic was. But then they have to fall back. Oh, you're a bully. So anyway, I'm. I got my A game going for March 30, Westbury, Long island, and I'm gonna shoot some of it, but I'm not playing the whole thing, so it's worth coming to see us. And the reason I'm shooting it is for a possible TV pilot. So we're gonna shoot it. It's going to be fun. Two hour show. Go to billor.com we got your seats. Or you go to the Westbury Music Fair. They got them. Or Ticketmaster. But we would like to see you on Sunday, 3pm do you have dinner afterward? Nice dinner. And appreciate the guys. I like them both. So it'll be a good show and I really appreciate you guys watching us. We have a very heavy audience this week. Lots of news going on as you know, lots of straight talk, because that's what I do. And thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News new column on Sunday. We'll see you on Monday. Hey, I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. We have a very simple mission. We take the news of the day and we filter it through a biblical worldview. So here's the big story of the day. What does the Bible say about it and how can we apply it? It's amazing. There's nothing new under the sun. The Bible has something to say about everything that's going on today. So basically, we thumped the Bible over on Politics by Faith. I think we ought to keep MAGA going. And I think the way to take it beyond just a political victory into a true rebuilding and awakening and revival in America is to make sure that this is all grounded in biblical principles. And that's what we do on the podcast Politics by Faith. And you can subscribe to Politics by faith, wherever you're listening to the show right now.
Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis Episode: President Trump's Approval Rating, the Radical Left's Attack on Elon Musk, Dismantling the Department of Education & GOP Dissent Release Date: March 21, 2025
In this episode of Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis, host Bill O'Reilly delves into the heated political climate of early 2025, addressing four major topics: President Donald Trump's approval rating, the radical left's assault on Elon Musk, the anticipated dismantling of the Department of Education, and dissent within the GOP. Drawing from a comprehensive transcript of the show, O'Reilly presents his analysis with decisive commentary, bolstered by recent polling data and current events.
Bill O'Reilly opens the discussion by examining the latest Fox News poll concerning President Trump's approval among registered voters. The poll reveals a narrow split:
“That is a tie for Trump's all time approval rating in this poll which was April 20, 25 years ago. He approved at 49%. Then it's a good number for Donald Trump, particularly because of all the tariffs and all of the chaos and the media continuing to attack him. 49% is a good number for him. You should be happy with that.” ([00:02:30])
O’Reilly interprets this data as a favorable outcome for Trump, emphasizing the stability his administration has purportedly brought compared to the previous administration under Joe Biden. He further highlights the partisan divide in perceptions of Trump:
“92% of Republicans approve of Donald Trump... 92% of Democrats don't see it that way. The next question is Congress. Do you approve of the job Republicans in Congress are doing? 55% say no. 43% say yes.” ([00:05:10])
O'Reilly underscores the extreme polarization, suggesting that Trump remains a unifying figure for Republicans while simultaneously being a significant point of contention for Democrats. He notes the lack of moderates, framing the political landscape as strictly binary—Trump good, Trump bad.
Transitioning to the topic of Elon Musk, O'Reilly expresses concern over the increasing hostility directed at the Tesla CEO by radical left factions. He cites multiple incidents of vandalism and violence targeting Tesla properties:
“So this is domestic terrorism. Gotta stop. And I trust the FBI will get these people and prosecute them federally to the full extent of the law.” ([00:12:45])
O’Reilly attributes these attacks to Antifa, characterizing the group as a decentralized and radical left-wing movement:
“That's going to come out. It's important because when you have a radical group like the Ku Klux Klan, which was destroyed by the federal government, okay, the FBI destroyed it. You got to apply the same pressure on the left. Antifa.” ([00:14:20])
He criticizes major media corporations, particularly Disney-owned ABC, for promoting progressive agendas that, in his view, indirectly empower such radicalism:
“I was working in ABC, so I've got some skin in this game. But what Disney's doing, okay, you're promoting this far left progressive agenda.” ([00:16:05])
O'Reilly emphasizes the importance of supporting figures like Musk, who he believes are pivotal to America's technological and economic advancement:
“Those astronauts may not be here safely back on earth without Elon Musk. People should be rooting for him, thanking him.” ([00:13:10])
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to President Trump's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. O'Reilly outlines Trump's strategy and its constitutional challenges:
“Donald Trump is going to sign an executive order saying no more DEI in the federal government... This is unconstitutional because the Constitution vests all legislative power in Congress to close an apartment, Congress would need to amend or repeal the law that established it.” ([00:19:15])
He references a study by Parents Defending Education, which criticizes the use of federal grants for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs in educational institutions:
“Georgia State University got $8 million to launch a class on diversity and social justice... Indiana University got 6 million to teach anti oppression, heterosexism and white privilege.” ([00:21:00])
O’Reilly argues that such programs are divisive and misappropriate taxpayer funds, advocating for state control over education instead:
“The states should run their own educations. All right? Just like the abortion thing, it goes back to the states because they're on the ground.” ([00:23:45])
He anticipates legal challenges to the Executive Order but suggests that Trump's primary aim is to bring public attention to what he perceives as governmental overreach:
“What Trump is doing is pretty smart. If you back him... By the way, Donald Trump does not care that the view and the left wing media will condemn him, does it?” ([00:20:30])
Addressing internal Republican dissent, O'Reilly discusses the minimal yet significant opposition within the GOP toward Trump’s leadership. He identifies key figures who dissent:
“Lisa Murkowski of Alaska hates Trump... she's a zealot in certain issues, like abortion. She loves abortion. Okay, I don't. I wouldn't outlaw it, but I think it's absolutely an ultra serious situation when you take the life of a fetus.” ([00:25:50])
O’Reilly predicts that dissenters like Murkowski are unlikely to be reelected due to their divergence from traditional Republican values:
“She has no use for Trump because Trump is a traditionalist. So she votes against him almost all the time. It's okay. The people in Alaska elected her. I don't think she'll be reelected. I can make that prediction now.” ([00:27:30])
He also mentions a lone dissenter in the House, Representative Massie from Kentucky, whom he disparages:
“There's only one congressman on the Republican side in the House that won't cooperate with Donald Trump, and that's this guy Massie, right, from Kentucky. He's a nitwit.” ([00:26:10])
O'Reilly emphasizes that the vast majority of Republicans remain steadfast in their support for Trump, asserting that any opposition will be met with attempts to undermine their political standing.
“If you are a Republican politician in Congress and you go against Trump, Trump's going to try to hurt you. That is true.” ([00:28:45])
Towards the end of the episode, O'Reilly touches on broader societal issues such as national happiness, referencing a Gallup World Happiness Report where the United States ranks 24th. He attributes low happiness levels to societal isolation and diminishing competitiveness among younger Americans.
“Once you get into the populations getting isolated because our family structure is breaking down here, unfortunately, and the competition is still very intense, you get a lot of automatic people.” ([00:34:50])
In his final thoughts, O'Reilly announces a new live show titled The Three American Show, aimed at bridging partisan divides by inviting diverse viewpoints. He plans to feature himself alongside Stephen A. Smith and Chris Cuomo, highlighting his commitment to fostering dialogue amidst tribalism.
“It's going to be funny, but it's going to be serious. Going to talk about serious stuff.” ([00:38:20])
Throughout the episode, Bill O'Reilly presents a staunchly conservative perspective, emphasizing the polarization in American politics, support for President Trump, and resistance against what he perceives as radical left ideologies. By incorporating specific polling data, recent incidents involving Elon Musk, and internal GOP dynamics, O'Reilly crafts a narrative that underscores his call for unity and traditional values amidst a deeply divided political landscape.
