Overview

In this episode of Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis, host Bill O'Reilly delves into the ramifications of President Donald Trump's extensive joint address to Congress, examines the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) report on wasteful government spending, scrutinizes recent hearings on sanctuary cities, and assesses the current state and future of the Democratic Party with insights from columnist Cheryl Chumley. The discussion is marked by a critical analysis of Trump’s policies, the Democratic Party’s internal challenges, and the overarching political climate in the United States.

1. President Trump's Joint Speech Aftermath

Longest Congressional Address:
Bill O’Reilly opens the episode by highlighting President Trump's historic one-hour and 45-minute speech to Congress—the longest in history according to Trump himself. He emphasizes the president's vision, stating:

“Every president says, yeah, I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that. But Trump, he’s got this vision...”
(00:32)

O'Reilly discusses the ambitious nature of Trump's agenda, acknowledging the skepticism surrounding the feasibility of such extensive plans, especially considering Trump had been in office for only six weeks at the time.

Political Impact and Public Reception:
The host notes Trump's strategy of taunting the Democratic opposition, which, according to him, has led to increased internal strife within the Democratic Party. He cites examples of the lack of support from Democrats during emotionally charged moments in the speech, such as the mention of Lakin Riley—a 22-year-old college student—and the lack of applause for grieving family members:

“When you have the sister and the mother of Lakin and Riley and they’re in the gallery and President Trump cites the 22-year-old college student... When you have them there and you don’t applaud... there’s something wrong with you.”
(05:29)

Tariff Announcements:
Trump announced the suspension of tariffs on cars from Canada and Mexico, aiming to address the $1.2 trillion trade deficit accumulated under President Biden. O'Reilly critiques Biden’s trade policies and expresses uncertainty about the economic repercussions of Trump's tariff adjustments:

“Biden, my God. So that’s what this is all about... I don’t know if it’s going to work.”
(14:04)

Conclusion on Speech Impact:
O'Reilly concludes that Trump's speech was a significant win, leveraging his opposition’s animosity to foster self-destruction within the Democratic ranks:

“Hatred will do that to you. You’ll destroy yourself. It’s exactly what’s happening.”
(14:34)

2. DOGE’s Wasteful Spending Report

Introduction to DOGE:
O’Reilly introduces the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, as a new body established to audit and eliminate wasteful government spending.

Key Findings:
He reviews four major instances of government waste highlighted in Trump’s report, verifying their accuracy through Open the Books, a government spending monitor:

1. Housing and Transportation for Undocumented Migrants:

   • $1.22 billion allocated to the Health and Human Services Department.
   • O’Reilly’s Commentary:

     “That is true. According to Open the Books, which monitors government spending. That’s true.”
     (17:02)

2. Indigenous and Afro-Colombian Empowerment in Central America:

   • $60 million via USAID.
   • O’Reilly’s Commentary:

     “No one knows where the money went. That’s why the US aid was closed down.”
     (17:02)

3. Left-Wing Propaganda in the Republic of Moldova:

   • $32 million funding propagated by USAID.
   • O’Reilly’s Commentary:

     “Why would you spend that money?”
     (17:02)

4. Behavior Change in Uganda:

   • $42 million granted to Johns Hopkins University.
   • O’Reilly’s Commentary:

     “What kind of behavior changed in Uganda for American dollars? 42 million.”
     (17:02)

Analysis of Waste:
O'Reilly underscores that these expenditures amount to $25 billion in waste, attributing much broader inefficiency beyond these highlighted cases and criticizing Democratic misuse of funds.

3. Sanctuary City Hearings

Overview of Hearings:
The episode covers recent testimonies before the House Oversight Committee led by James Comer, focusing on the policies of four liberal mayors from major U.S. cities known for their sanctuary policies: Eric Adams (New York), Brandon Johnson (Chicago), Michelle Wu (Boston), and Mike Johnston (Denver).

Key Testimonies:

1. Michelle Wu of Boston:

   • Defiance of federal Homeland Security detainers.
   • O’Reilly’s Commentary:

     “She’s wrong. And she’ll learn the hard way...”
     (24:59)

2. Brandon Johnson of Chicago:

   • Admission to releasing a gang member without sufficient ICE notification.
   • Speaker’s Exchange Highlights:

     Congressman: “Did you release him to the streets?”
     Johnson: “We have a city ordinance that goes...”
     (26:17 - 27:22)

O’Reilly’s Critique:
He argues that federal law supersedes local ordinances and condemns the sanctuary policies as ineffective and costly:

“Federal law overrides your local ordinance everywhere. No exceptions.”
(27:50)

Cheryl Chumley’s Insights:
Conservative columnist Cheryl Chumley joins the discussion, supporting Trump's stance and criticizing Democratic policies for prioritizing ideological agendas over public safety. She emphasizes the need for the administration to counter Democratic resistance:

“Most Americans know by now, the media is going to do what the media does with Donald Trump...”
(30:48)

4. Is This the End of the Democratic Party? Cheryl Chumley Weighs In

Democratic Party Disarray:
O'Reilly and Chumley discuss the perception of chaos within the Democratic Party, citing instances of internal conflicts and policies that alienate traditional American values. O'Reilly draws parallels with historical political crises, suggesting the Democrats are on a path to self-destruction similar to the Republican Party's decline in the mid-20th century.

Cheryl Chumley’s Analysis:
Chumley posits that the Democratic Party is on a "self-destructive path" and necessitates a significant course correction to realign with foundational American principles:

“They’re going to need a massive course correction because what they’re offering is so against not just Republican agendas, but just against American agendas...”
(34:24)

Book Discussion:
O'Reilly introduces Chumley’s new book, God Given or Bust: Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truth, which argues for grounding American governance in biblical principles to combat Marxist influences:

“The book says, look, in order to defeat this movement…you’re going to need some kind of biblical help.”
(35:02)

Conclusion on Democratic Future:
Both hosts agree that without a strategic pivot, the Democratic Party risks losing relevance and control, deeming it unlikely to regain its former standing without substantial internal reforms.

---

5. Additional Highlights

Veteran Affairs and Medicare:
O’Reilly touches on criticisms of the Trump administration’s handling of VA and Medicare, countering Biden’s alleged mismanagement and advocating for reforms over perceived tax and entitlement cuts.

Public Health and Religion:
A segment briefly references a study from Baylor University and Harvard indicating that religious involvement correlates with better physical and mental health, highlighting the societal benefits of faith-based communities.

Cultural Commentary:
The episode includes a reflection on the legacy of comedian John Belushi, linking his tragic death to ongoing issues with drug abuse and advocating for stricter penalties for drug-related crimes.

Media Critique:
O'Reilly criticizes mainstream media outlets like The Washington Post and Time for their portrayal of Trump, asserting that their narratives are out of touch with American values and political realities.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Stand up for your country. Well, two major stories. The president's speech, which I think is still going on. He just took a break to go out to the head and then he came back. Longest speech in congressional history as far as the president is concerned. And then he had the hearings today in the House Oversight Committee with the four very left wing mayors that, you know, they don't think they have to obey federal law. That was interesting hearing. We'll get to both of those things. But let's begin with Mr. Trump last night. The headline is if everything that Donald Trump laid out in one hour and 45 minutes comes true, he'll be on Mount Rushmore. They'll have to make a little space for him, or maybe he'll buy his own mountain, but he'll become one of the greats. But that's a huge if because a lot of the things he's trying to do are very, very difficult, as we all know. And he's only been in office six weeks. So every president says, yeah, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they all do it. But Trump, he's got this vision and if it does play out, he catapults himself way up there. The second story, which I think is even more important than at first, is that the Democratic Party is in complete disarray Hannity locked into this today as on his radio program. We have that posted on billoriley.com as we do every week, about the disintegration of the Democratic Party in front of the nation and the world. They wouldn't applaud for people who deserved applause. They were mean. And Trump did taunt them. There's no doubt Trump did. He taunted them. But boy, that Democratic Party's in disarray. And I'll get into it pretty micro here. So this guy, Al Green, a congressman from Texas, he got a lot of attention because he got booted out and he was yelling or something. I mean, this guy, he is a poppin J. There you go. Word of the day, he's a poppin J. You can look it up. And he doesn't mean anything. He's not a serious man. He looks like he's something at a Texas Chainsaw massacre, this guy. All right, so he gets kicked out and here's what he says out. I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me. I didn't say to anyone, don't punish me. I've said I'll accept the punishment. But it's worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. No, Mr. Trump has no desire to do that, nor has he promoted anything that would result in cuts for those entitlements. Now, is Green lying? Yeah, in a way he's lying, but he's convinced himself because that's what he wants to believe. He wants to believe Trump wants to cut all of these entitlements and give the money to rich people. You've heard it a million times, what he wants to believe. So he's kind of talked himself into it. All right? That's not an excuse. I'm making an excuse for him. He's still lying because there's nothing on the record at all. And there won't be. Donald Trump's going to cut these programs. He's not. All right? In fact, the programs are going to go on and on and on and on until Congress decides to up the age. And that's what's likely to happen, but not anytime soon. So Green lives in a world of his own. He doesn't matter for all the reasons that I mentioned. But more importantly, when you have the sister and the mother of Lake and Riley and they're in the gallery and President Trump cites the 22 year old college student in Georgia who was murdered allegedly by a Venezuelan undocumented migrant. When you have them there and you don't applaud and you don't show any sympathy, there's something wrong with you. Roll the tape.

[Donald Trump]

Last year I told Lakin's grieving parents that we would insure their daughter would not have died in vain. That's why the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates the detention of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety. It's a very strong, powerful act.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Called.

[Donald Trump]

The Lakin Riley Act. So Allison and Lauren, America will never, ever forget our beautiful Lakin Hope Riley.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No demonstration of assent by the Democratic Party. They don't like that bill. That's tough. Then you had a 95 year old grandmother who asked President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania get his her son released from Russia because Putin threw him in a cell for no reason. Trump got him out. You have any emotion from the Democratic Party on that? Then you had a kid with cancer, you know, on and on and on. He sat there and one of the really weird, bizarre things was when President Trump was again taunting the Democrats about Ukraine. Go.

[Donald Trump]

The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense. With no security, with no energy. Do you want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah. Yeah, you would say. Pocahontas says yes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, this is bizarre. So I wrote a message of the day on BillORiley.com said Vietnam, left was against it. Okay. Iraq war, left was against it. Afghanistan, left didn't want it. Killing Soleimani, left wing objected. Biden wouldn't. Okay. The raid to get bin Laden advised President Obama against it. So all of that is history. In the modern era, the left, Elizabeth Warren, those people, they don't want war. They want peace at any price. Okay? But now when Trump, and I do believe he will get this deal soon. Okay, no, they don't want it. No, it's all because of Trump. They hate him so much that they won't applaud for Lake and Riley's mom and sister. They won't applaud for 95 year old grandmother. And they won't say, yeah, it'd be better to stop this Ukrainian thing. Even if we have to fake it on Putin, even if we have to, you know, patronize him a little bit. So it's disturbing to me. And you're witnessing the Democratic Party fall apart. So Hannity asked me today and it was pretty interesting. He said, well, did you ever see anything like this? I said, yeah, I have. And in 1929, when the stock market crashed and the Great Depression kept hold, Americans were suffering badly. And Herbert Hoover was a Republican president. And Hoover basically told the suffering American people, we're not going to help you. And the Republican Congress said, nah, we're not going to do anything. You got to get it out on your own. We're not going to set up a bunch of programs that led to five terms for Democrats. Five, four from fdr, one for Truman. Okay. And then finally I, Dwight Eisenhower, got in the 50s. That was a destruction of the Republican Party. We're watching the same thing play out with the Democratic Party now. And it's a very, very fascinating and it's almost self destruction because they've got to know. I mean, you had a girl there last night, Peyton, and News Nation had an interview with her. Very articulate girl, playing high school sports against a trans guy, volleyball. And the trans guy goes up and smashes the volleyball against the girl's head, resulting in brain damage. And you have this Democrats sitting over there going, we don't want to stop that. Now we bring on more trans guys to play against women and girls. That's insane. And that's why the party is unraveling. Trump's one of the luckiest presidents in United States history because his opposition hates him so much that they're destroying themselves. And hatred will do that to you. You'll destroy yourself. It's exactly what's happening. Are you feeling the impact of the recent changes in the timeshare industry?

Now the other complicated issue with tariffs, we just announced today that Trump is suspending the tariffs on cars coming from Canada and Mexico. Okay, I knew this was going to happen and the tariff thing will work itself out, but it's complicated. But beginning April 2, President Trump said, Look, Biden ran up a $1.2 trillion trade deficit. That means 1.2 trillion went out, all right, to other countries and we were down in the hole. Trump wants to even it out. So he says if you charge us 20% for Ford or Chevy, we're charging you 20% for Mercedes or whatever. It's going to be even. Not Biden. Just saying, I don't care if anybody charges his tariff. We're not going to do anything about it. Biden, my God. So that's what this is all about. And I don't know if it's going to work. I don't know if the US Economy is going to be impacted negatively. I know the stock market shaky. Anybody who can read knows that business doesn't like it. But 1.2 trillion trade deficit, something's got to be done about it. And Trump is trying. Okay, so here's what he says about.

[Donald Trump]

The tariff go on average, the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico and Canada, have you heard of them? And countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It's very unfair. India charges US auto tariffs higher than 100%. China's average tariff on our products is twice. But we charge them.

[Bill O'Reilly]

That means to get American products into China, India, Mexico and Canada, the companies have to pay those governments to allow the products in. All right, Trump says, all right, you're going to do that. Then your products from India and China, you got to pay us the same amount. That's what this is about. So all in all, I think it was a big win for Donald Trump last night. The snap polls say it was. I don't trust those. But he got his points across. He taunted his opposition into more self destructive behavior. And the happiest guy in that room last night, that'll be J.D. vance. They got no one to put again, they got nothing midterms. I don't know. Trump's got to put a few wins on the board. Economically though, he'll get the Ukraine thing settled, I think. But economically, you got to watch that and that's a memo. Okay? The reaction on television news. I was on News Nation. I think I did a pretty fair job on there. On a run up tonight, I'll be on with Cuomo, should be up around 8:00. And my job is to give you an honest appraisal of what happens. That's it. No ideology, no party favors, none of that. I'm going to wear a little Democratic hat or Republican pin. Okay? We don't do that here anyway. But the usual suspects who make money telling you and me and everybody else what their corporate masters tell them to say, they. They're like parrots. Here's what they did. Go. This was a tale of American empire, because at the end of the day, he wants to run it all, he wants to rule it all, he wants to control it all. So it's the tale of American empire. The problem is, like, wicked. You go, it's like a fantasy. And then you come back home, you got to deal with reality. In the speech, he loves the military. In reality, he's cutting VA and throwing veterans out of work.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, folks, tonight, Donald Trump delivered an address. It was the longest ever to Congress. And that address was detached from reality, and it was full of lies. His presidential address was not presidential. His performance, another reminder that none of this is normal.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So it's the usual tripe, and I gotta show it to you because this happens every day, and there's no context to it. Oh, they want to cut the veterans. They want to throw these people out of work. Well, the government's bloated, all right. Everybody knows it's bloated. Everybody knows wasteful spending is all over the place. Everybody knows that Joe Biden did not do his job for four years and allowed our treasury just to be ransacked. If you don't know that, then they're not smart enough to watch the news and. Or not honest enough. One of the two doge. Okay, so this is another polarizing thing. All right, so the Department of Government Efficiency is new. Trump set it up. Elon Musk in charge. Elon is a hotshot, okay? He's a polarizing guy. So I asked myself, I said, look, let's find four things that Donald Trump said were wasteful. And he spent 3 minutes and 17 seconds running down about 20 of them. Let's put four at random, which I did, I did it. And see if it's true or not. That's pretty good, right? That's a fair assessment. First 1,22 billion from health and Human Services Department to Provide free housing and cars transportation for undocumented migrants. That is true. According to Open the Books, which is monitors government spending. That's true. Second one 60 million American taxpayer dollars for indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in Central America. USAID supervised that. It's true. No one knows where the money went. 60 million went to Colombia. Where is it? What did it do? That's why the US aid was closed down. Third one, the Republic of Moldova, which is near Ukraine, received $32 million from the USA to promote a left wing propaganda operation. True. And again, this was under usaid. Why? Why would you spend that money? All right, and the final one, 42 million for behavior change in Uganda. True. Now, this money was given to Johns Hopkins University in a grant formed by the usaid. Well, what kind of behavior changed in Uganda for American dollars? 42 million. What? I'm sure Johns Hopkins got a reason. It's a very fine school. Now, right at this point, the waste that Donald Trump mentioned last night stands at $25 billion. It's a lot of money. All right, It's a quarter of a trillion. And you haven't even gone into the Pentagon or the Department of Education, which are two enormous. Okay, wasters of money. So I like this Doge, right? Do you not want this? Democrats don't want it. They don't want to know. They just want to send money to Moldova and Uganda. Why never an answer? Well, we do a lot of good. All right, new Paul Rasmussen about DOGE. Majority of Americans support it. Fair poll. First question. Would you support or oppose having Department of Government Efficiency do an audit of Social Security? Support 59 total opposed 35 Now, Donald Trump made a big deal out of this. So there's all kinds of fraud in Social Security payments. We'll see if we can back that up, but folks want to see it. How likely is it that an audit of Social Security would reveal widespread fraud? Total likely 61 unlikely 33. Third question, how confident are you the Social Security system will pay you all the promised benefits? Confident 55 not confident 41. Final question. Which political party you trust more to handle Social Security? Democrats 43 Republicans 44. Well, Democrats will handle Social Security, but will they watch spending? No, they will not. Biden proved it. Okay, once again, last night, Trump said that Biden was the worst president in our history. Second, I've talked to the president about that, but I know it's rhetorical. I know he's just using as rhetorical device. All right, how about a migrant deportation update? Well, we don't have one. So in the beginning they were running around photo ops all over the place. But now slow down as I predicted it would. This is hard. So there are no updates from the Department of Homeland Security? None. Last thing was DHS chief Kristi Noem announced that 20,000 illegal aliens had been arrested. In February. We finally beat Medicare.

[Donald Trump]

He's right. He did beat Medicaid. Beat it to death.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Joe Biden's legacy for C seniors. He raided Medicare, made premiums skyrocket and drove up drug costs. Worse, the Biden pill penalty is already slashing the development of affordable drugs, forcing seniors to pay the price of Biden's failed policy. Biden broke Medicare, but President Trump can fix it. Call Congress and urge them to end the Biden pill penalty. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Do you ever find yourself playing the budgeting game?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, that's a big increase from Biden last year, but we don't that slowed down. It's very hard to do that. Sanctuary cities so four mayors are all off the chart. Left. Eric Adams, New York. Brandon Johnson, Chicago. Michelle Wu, Boston. Mike Johnston, Denver. So they have to show up, testify before the House Oversight Committee. That's James Comer's committee. Two soundbites for you. Mayor Wu of Boston basically defied the federal government, said, look, I'm not obeying Homeland Security detainers. We're not going to do it, period. Roll the tape. I quoted Tom Homan, the so called.

[Donald Trump]

Border czar, saying that he wanted to bring hell.

[Bill O'Reilly]

He was bringing hell to the city of Boston. What did you understand him to mean by that?

Let's talk about Tom Homan. Shame on him for lying about my city. For having the nerve to insult our police commissioner who has overseen the safest Boston's been in anyone's lifetime. Bring him here under oath and let's ask him some questions. I am here to make sure that the city of Boston is safe. Others may want to bring hell. We are here to bring peace to cities everywhere.

No, it's just rhetoric. So Boston is a safe city and it's because of community policing. I don't have time to report on it, but they do a good job up there. The city's running down, as I told you, I was there last weekend. But as far as violent crime is concerned, The Boston PD has formed an alliance with churches in high crime neighborhoods, and it's worked. And their crime rate is under control in Boston. That's what Wu is saying. Because our crime rate is under control, we don't have to obey any ICE undocumented migrant crime stuff. We don't have to obey it. Well, she's wrong. And she'll learn the hard way, because the federal government will sue her and Boston, and that'll cost Bostonians millions of dollars to defend a suit. And in the end, she'll lose because federal law overrides state and local law everywhere. No exceptions. All right. The other guy is Brandon Johnson. This is the guy who embarrassed himself. And I used to live in Denver. It was a totally different city when I lived there, but Johnson embarrassed himself because the suburb of Aurora where I actually lived. Okay. Was infiltrated by Venezuelan gangs who caused all kinds of trouble. Roll the tape.

[Congressman]

Asking about Mr. Abraham Gonzalez, who's a gang member from Venezuela. Stole a car, assaulted someone. You had him in your custody for how long?

[Brandon Johnson]

I know that. We released.

[Congressman]

345 days. You had him in custody. And I said, hey, can you give us 48 hours heads up, I don't know. One hour notice, Mr.

[Brandon Johnson]

Congressman. We notified them. Released. There were six ICE agents present when he was released. So they had enough time to respond and to be present on where to the jail where we released him from. So we released him to. We notified them of the release time. When we notified them of release, they come to the jail facility to pick them up.

[Congressman]

That's not what you said. You said you released him to the streets. Did you release him to the streets? You release him to ice? It's a simple question. You can release him in the parking lot, give ICE one hour notice, and they got to send six officers to arrest this guy. Or you can say, hey, what we're gonna. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna hold him. You come in and bring two officers in, and you turn him over there. Why not do it that way?

[Brandon Johnson]

We have a city ordinance.

[Congressman]

You know why you don't do it that way?

[Brandon Johnson]

We have a city ordinance that goes.

[Congressman]

Because you're a sanctuary city. This is the whole point.

[Brandon Johnson]

No, sir, I disagree with you, because I'll tell you why. What if you talk about sanctuary as a definition of shielding people from law enforcement? We do not do that. What we do do is provide services. In this context, what we did is we coordinated.

[Congressman]

The release officer got assaulted because of your policy which says we're going to release him to, in your words, not mine, to the streets. They have to arrest him in the parking lot. They bring six officers when they could have had one or two just come in your facility into jail and take the guy there. But you won't do it that way.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Because once again, it's the same thing. We have an ordinance. No, the federal law overrides your local ordinance. You know, the Trump administration had to punish these people, simple as that. Where they're not going to stop. Joining us now is a columnist, conservative, works for the Washington Times, follows a lot of the undocumented controversies, has a new book out, God Given or Bust, Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truth. Cheryl Cholmondeley joins us now from Virginia. All right. We'll get to the book in a moment. And taunting the opposition, that's what President Trump did last night. Do you think that was an effective strategy?

[Cheryl Chumley]

Trump was what Trump was right. This is what he does. And I think most Trump supporters and even those who don't support Trump weren't surprised by the speech that he delivered last evening. I thought personally it was a little bit too long. But I think he made the key points that his base wanted to hear. And really the more interesting takeaway to me was the Democrat response, much of which you went over in your talking points. But, you know, it continues today we had Democrat congresswoman from Texas calling Trump a fascist and, you know, the mainstream media calling out Trump as being divisive and so forth. And I think this is the only narrative they have that and talking about the price of eggs because most Americans are in support of the America.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, they got, they got up and that's a flu. The Washington Post, where you live, had an interesting headline. Let's throw that on up and I'll read it to our radio listeners. Washington Post defiant Trump signals full speed ahead on divisive policies. I thought, I thought the Washington Post was trying to moderate. That's a pretty explosive headline there. Then Time magazine does what Time magazine always does. Nobody reads it anymore, but the Washington Post is like just fights, you know, I think Joe Biden was pretty divisive. He didn't do anything and the country went downhill. I mean, it divided me. But it doesn't look like the Washington Post is. It looks like they're the same old, same old. Am I wrong here?

[Cheryl Chumley]

No, you're not. I look forward to when Jeff Bezos hires his new libertarian leaning or more conservative leaning opinion editor for those pages because they really do need it. And look, most Americans know By now, the media is going to do what the media does with Donald Trump, all things Trump. So this is not really news. The, the bigger news is how the administration is going to respond to the Democrats who keep resisting very in, in many unconstitutional ways against his agendas.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They don't have to respond, though. Trump doesn't have to respond to the Democrats other than to enforce the law. So I said that Michelle Wu better watch herself or she'll wind up in handcuffs and Holman will probably go up there and put him on him herself. But they're already suing the Trump administration. Chicago city, Chicago, state of Illinois. That's Pritzker. But as far as responding in a PR fashion, I think the folks are with Trump at this point. He's got to produce economically, though.

[Cheryl Chumley]

Yeah, economically is key. And you're right that most Americans are with Trump at this point because Democrats are just making ludicrous arguments. I listened to the opening statements of those four Democrat mayors testifying on their sanctuary policies. And one of the key talking points that they all brought forward in various language was that illegal immigrants in their city actually make their city safer because if you deport the illegals, then illegals will be afraid to report crimes that they see to police. Yeah, that's ridiculous argument.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And it's been going on forever. Right, right. So we can't, you know, do anything about people here illegally because they may not report a crime. I think Americans and all the polls say this, Cheryl, you know, that they want order in their immigration law. They want order. I mean, they're not looking for grandmas to be thrown out or any of this stuff. Trump's gonna lose the birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court's never gonna reverse that in a million years. It's a loser for him. But they don't want what Biden brought. And that's absolute chaos when you see, you know, you live near the District of Columbia, which Trump wants to take over, by the way, because it's so corrupt and so crime ridden and, you know, they don't force any laws there. Or am I overstating that I don't live there? Am I overstating that hair thinning can.

Happen for so many reasons, whether it's stress or hormones or anything. At Nutrafol, we've learned that real change starts below the surface. Our hair growth supplements take a whole body approach and target the key role root causes of hair thinning. So you can see visibly thicker, stronger hair in three to six months.

[Cheryl Chumley]

It's a little bit of a cesspool.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so I think I have it right. So drama is to take that over because it's federal. The District of Columbia is a federal governance situation, although the locals, they vote for their own people. When you see this kind of chaos from the left and then the insensitivity that we pointed out, where they wouldn't even applaud Lake and Riley's mom and sister Hannity asked me today, is it the end of the Democratic Party? Are they so far out of touch they will never come back?

[Cheryl Chumley]

It's an interesting question, right? Because I think the Democrat Party has been going down this self destructive path for many years. If you go back in time when Tom Perez was head of the DNC and he proclaimed Alexandria Ocasio Cortez as the future of the party, I think that sort of made a marker in time of when the party really started falling. I don't think it's the end of the Democrat Party, but I do think that they're going to need a massive course correction because what they're offering is so against not just Republican agendas, but just against American agendas, traditional America, no doubt.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And that brings us to your book, God Given Her, Defeating Marxism, Saving America with Biblical Truths. So Ocasio Cortez is a socialist. I mean, I don't know if she's a communist or not. I think Bernie Sanders is absolutely a communist. But Ocasio Cortez, I'm not sure. I don't even know if she's sure because I don't think she even understands what the philosophy is she's peddling. But I could be wrong on that. Anyway, your book says, look, in order to defeat this movement, Sanders and Ocasio Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, that you're going to need some kind of biblical help. Is that what it is?

[Cheryl Chumley]

Just go back in time to what Founding Fathers put forth in the Declaration of Independence, which was sort of the marching orders for the form of governance they gave us, that we hold these truths to be self evident. Right? We're granted by a creator, a higher power, certain unalienable rights. And so what in essence they were saying is as an individual, we take our rights and liberties from a higher power, not government. So if we want to win long term liberties and freedoms and rights in this country for the individual, we always have to remember it's not so much the political world that's going to win it for us. It's the insistence on whoever is in political power, Republican or Democrat, to recognize that our rights as individuals come from God.

[Bill O'Reilly]

A lot of people don't believe that. The book again is God Given or Bust by Cheryl Chumley. Cheryl, thanks for helping us out. Good to see you. We'll talk again soon.

[Cheryl Chumley]

Thank you.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Thank you. All right. Pope Francis didn't do Ash Wednesday. I got my ashes at noon in the local church here. But makeup covers it because if I don't wear makeup, you'd scream and children would cry. So one of those. But the Pope, I'm afraid to say, is, you know, on his way out. He's a good man. As I told you, there are about two and a half billion Christians all over the world celebrating Ash Wednesday today. And there is a new study, Baylor University, Harvard Together research, 200,000 people. And those who go to church, all right, involved with a church, any church, could be Muslim, Islam, could be Jewish, could be Christian, whatever. They are healthier, physically healthier. And they're attributed to they're not as lonely, they're not as isolated. They have something to believe in. And the mental helps the physical. Interesting study. Stay in history. March 5, 1982. Comedian John Belushi dies of a drug overdose in Hollywood, 33 years old. He's out. Belushi, huge star on Saturday Night Live, as you know. And his legacy is now once again front and center because Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary. Here's a bit of Belushi. Go.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And when you get it, you got some. So don't worry. Cause I'm coming. I'm a soul man. I'm a soul man. I'm a soul man. I'm a soul man.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right. So Bellucci was injected with heroin and cocaine. They call that a speedball. By a woman named Kathy Smith, who was found guilty since the 15 months. That's it. 15 months in a California prison. She got out. She was deported back to her home country of Canada, where she was arrested again for heroin Possession. She died at the age of 73. Now, Cassie Smith, for injecting John Belushi with that deadly drug, should have gotten 10 years. And dope dealers who sell poison on the street, fentanyl and all of that should be minimums, state and federal minimums for them. I mean, this is a vicious, violent crime. Vicious, violent crime, selling hard drugs. And we still penalties now are less than they were when Bellucci was killed 43 years ago. And yeah, it's partly Belushi's fault. He was a drug taker. Yeah. But this woman Injecting him, 10 years, that would have been a fair sentence. Okay, back with a final thought in a moment. So the aforementioned Stephen A. Smith on the View yesterday. He has said he regrets voting for Kamala Harris and he's not a big fan of the Democratic Party. Go.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think so. I don't like what I'm seeing from Trump. I didn't like what I saw with Zelensky. I didn't like what I saw with a few things. But in the end. In the end, the point, Yeah, I didn't like it. But in the end, what it comes down to is this. The American people, in their eyes, it wasn't about him. They were voting against what the Democrats were throwing in their direction.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, he's going to have to slow down in his live presentation, but he's an interesting guy. Smith. So it's three diverse points of view on the Three Americans tour. And again, we hope you check us out. And that is it for us today. All right, thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.

[Mike Slater]

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.
