Main Segments & Key Insights

1. President Trump’s United Nations Speech

[00:58 – 11:01]

Theme: Trump’s critical posture toward the United Nations, global leadership, and major international issues.

• Opening Anecdotes:
  Trump’s entrance to the UN was marred by technical and logistical mishaps, reinforcing, according to O’Reilly, his view that the “UN is amateur hour.”

• Core Message:
  Trump’s speech spanned 55 minutes, condemning the UN as “useless because it’s run by one world leftists.” (01:09)
  O’Reilly summarizes: “We in the United States… know who you are, and you’re not in the business to help calm wars down or do anything other than promote leftist ideology.” (01:28)

• US Politics in International Forum:
  Trump couldn’t resist referencing domestic politics, boasting about the US economic resurgence under his leadership.

  “...Just eight months into my administration, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close.” — Donald Trump [03:13]

  O’Reilly notes the claim drew little interest at the UN but says economically, Trump is correct: “Certainly, we are the most powerful economic engine in the world." (03:42)

• Conflict Resolution & Frustration with Recognition:
  Trump claims to have halted several wars, frustrated he gets little credit.

  “He says he stopped seven wars...he put the arm on 14 different countries and said, you better knock it off or we’ll punish you…” — Bill O’Reilly [04:05]

• UN’s Lack of Support:
  Trump criticizes the UN directly:

  “I realized that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. ...What is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential...but it’s not even coming close to living up to that potential.” — Donald Trump [05:00]

Key Topics Within the Speech

• Ukraine & Russian Aggression:
  Trump rebukes China, India, and even NATO members for purchasing Russian oil—funding the Ukraine war.

  “They’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one…?” — Donald Trump [06:15]
  O’Reilly points out Trump avoided directly attacking Putin ("He only mentioned Putin's name once"), hoping to maintain a channel for negotiation. (05:29)

• Migration Crisis:
  Trump emphasizes the strain on European prison systems:

  “...almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants...in Switzerland, 72%...from outside of Switzerland.” — Donald Trump [08:03]
  O’Reilly finds the figures accurate and notes it’s a persistent Trump talking point. (08:34)

• Climate Change:
  Trump derides the green energy movement as a scam:

  “If you don’t get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.” — Donald Trump [09:01]
  O’Reilly remarks this reflects Trump’s long-standing skepticism towards climate initiatives. (09:25)

• Avoidance of Direct Confrontation:
  Trump steered clear of antagonizing Putin and Xi Jinping, planning a meeting with Xi at an upcoming economic conference.
  O’Reilly’s take: “He could have slam-based both of them. But he didn’t...China, I think the Chinese are going to make a deal with us.” (11:01)

• The Gaza/Palestinian Situation:
  Trump dismisses international calls to recognize a Palestinian state as impractical “because there is no Palestinian state to recognize.” O'Reilly echoes skepticism about negotiations with Hamas:

  “If you prop up a Palestinian state, this is a reward to Hamas. That’s why the USA won’t do it.” — Bill O’Reilly [12:10]

---

2. U.S. Attorney Turnover: The Firing of Eric Seibert

[16:15 – 25:56]

• Context:
  O’Reilly outlines Trump’s desire for retaliation against three key adversaries: Senator Adam Schiff, NY Attorney General Letitia James, and former FBI Director James Comey.

• Alleged Investigations:
  Trump claims mortgage fraud and false residency on documents for Schiff and James; Comey faces accusations relating to the Russian collusion probe.

  “No, Adam Schiff, they have him 100% on mortgage fraud.” — Donald Trump [17:39]
  O’Reilly: “I don't know whether they have 100% because he would be indicted then.” [18:07]

• Attorney Shakeup:
  Trump fires U.S. attorney Eric Seibert, replacing him with personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan to push the cases forward.

Trent Shores Interview

• Presidential Authority:

  “When you sign up to be a United States Attorney, you serve at the pleasure of the President...He is the leader of the executive branch.” — Trent Shores [20:06]

• Unknowns and Legal Process:
  Shores highlights the complexities and slow pace of white-collar investigations, suggesting we don’t know all the facts around Seibert’s firing:

  “It could be that they just haven’t reached an ultimate conclusion yet whether to bring charges.” — Trent Shores [21:07]

• Politics in Prosecution:
  O’Reilly presses on whether politics influenced Seibert’s actions; Shores pushes back:

  “I don't know that there are U.S. attorneys...that will slow walk a case...I don't think any prosecutor becomes a prosecutor because they don't want to prosecute cases.” — Trent Shores [23:29]
  Shores acknowledges the ever-present politics in DC-based prosecutions and difficulties given perceptions of bias.
  “He has to look at who's going to be in his jury pool there in the Eastern District of Virginia.” — Trent Shores [24:27]

• Presidential Pressure vs. Justice:
  O’Reilly sums up: “...if you don’t give [the President] specific updates, you’re gone. And that’s just the way the system works.” [25:56]

---

3. Media & Political Discourse

[25:56 – 29:36]

• Jasmine Crockett Controversy:
  O’Reilly criticizes Rep. Jasmine Crockett for inflammatory anti-Trump rhetoric (comparing Trump’s administration to Hitler).

  “She’s a big Trump is Hitler person…if she would like to sit across from me…I’d be happy to do that because I know a lot about the Third Reich, and I don’t believe Jasmine Crockett knows anything about it.” — Bill O’Reilly [26:11]

• On CNN, Crockett defends her use of strong language:

  “When we see the consolidation of power…that is a playbook out of Hitler, and I won’t deny it. Like, these are the facts.” — Jasmine Crockett [27:43]

• O’Reilly Rebuke:

  “No, it’s not so...No comparison to what the United States is. None. Got it, lady.” — Bill O’Reilly [29:36]

[29:36 – 32:57]

• Policy Change:
  New Pentagon rules (by Pete Hegseth) restrict reporters from publishing even non-classified info unless explicitly cleared.

  “Three American” live show at the Kennedy Center, emphasizing the blend of serious discussion and entertainment.

• Trent Shores on Justice Department Pressure:

[Bill O'Reilly]

Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of.

[Donald Trump]

You do.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F150 and build your dream with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a Mustang? Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Ready, Set. Ford.

[Caitlin Becker]

This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan. Real United Airlines customers.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kath and Andrew.

I got to sit in the driver's seat.

I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me.

Of myself when I was that age.

[Caitlin Becker]

That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

[Bill O'Reilly]

These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

It felt like I was the captain.

Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.

That's how good leads the way. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Tuesday, September 23, 2025. Stand up for your country. Very interesting speech by President Trump at the UN this morning. So he's on his way in with Melania, and the escalator stops working. Okay. Then he gets to the forum and the teleprompter breaks down, and you can just see Trump just reinforces his opinion that the entire United nations thing is amateur hour. Trump has no use for this cruise at all. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. All right, so he goes to the UN and he's got a speech that lasts 55 minutes pretty long. And he wanted to make a few points. The biggest point is that the United nations is useless because it's run by one world leftists. That was the overarched point for all the nations. Look, we in the United States. I'm paraphrasing President Trump, we know who you are, and you're not in the business to help calm wars down or do anything other than promote leftist ideology. That was what Mr. Trump wanted to get across. Okay? It's appropriate you make up your mind on it. But that's what he wanted to do. Now, he began by talking about US Politics. Now, he knows, you know, I know nobody in that room gives a wit about US Politics. But Donald Trump cannot help himself. He can't roll a tape.

[Donald Trump]

And here in the United States, four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration delivered our nation into a repeated set of disasters. One year ago, our country was in deep trouble. But today, just eight months into my administration, we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. Did that impress anybody at the United Nations? No. Is it true? Maybe. Certainly, we are the most powerful economic engine in the world. There's no doubt about that. And if all of Donald Trump's policies are successful, we are going to be much stronger than we were before he came into office a second time. I think those two things are true. I know they're true. Now, Donald Trump is frustrated because he doesn't get credit overseas or in the United States for solving conflicts. He says he stopped seven wars. That's true to some extent. I mean, each situation is different. But he put the arm on 14 different countries and said, you better knock it off or we'll punish you. The United States will punish you. That's a pretty big incentive to knock it off. And then he sweetens it up. You know, if you stop the fighting, we'll do this, we'll do that. That's how Trump deals. Okay, But Trump is angry because nobody publicizes that. And the United nations didn't help him go.

[Donald Trump]

But later I realized that the United nations wasn't there for us. They weren't there. I thought of it really, after the fact. Not during. Not during these negotiations, which were not easy. That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential, I've always said has such tremendous, tremendous potential, but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, that is a scolding of the U.N. the individual countries sitting there, they don't care. U.N. officials probably care. But what are they going to do now in Ukraine, which is obviously the biggest issue right now overseas? Trump was. He didn't spend a lot of time on it. He only mentioned Putin's name once because he's still hopeful that he can somehow maneuver bad Vlad into stopping the mass killing for no reason. Why? Why is he doing this? All right, so he dealt with Ukraine by scolding our allies. American allies. Go.

[Donald Trump]

China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil. But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy. Think of it, they're funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one in the Event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly. But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay. And that was it for Ukraine. Now, the countries that buy Russian oil at this point are Turkey, Hungary, Slovakia, France. Boy, that's bad. Belgium and Spain. That's a scandal. I would have mentioned those countries if I were Donald Trump because they are enabling Putin to continue his murderous spree. Then Trump switched to one of his favorite topics, migration. And he says that all over the world, not just the United States, that the illegal immigration so situation is badly damaging established countries. Roll the tape on that.

[Donald Trump]

According to the Council of Europe, in 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants. In Austria, the number was 53% of the people in prisons were from places that weren't from where they are now. In Greece, the number was 54%. And in Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, those stats seem to be accurate. And migration is on President Trump's mind. And so is global warming, which he considers a major scam. Now, global warming has been embraced by Western Europe and the United Nations. Billions, probably trillions, has been spent on alternative energies. Trump sees a big con roll of tape.

[Donald Trump]

Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true. I've been right about everything. And I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. And if you don't stop, people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.

[Bill O'Reilly]

[Bill O'Reilly]

See mintmobile.com all right, so those are the strongest points to review. Didn't really attack Putin or China. And right after the speech on social media, President Trump released a schedule to meet with Xi. So that's going to take place around Halloween at the economic conference in Seoul, South Korea. They'll meet face to face. And Trump did not want to antagonize. That's the right word, Putin or Xi in this speech. He could have slam based both of them, okay? But he didn't. He did for a reason that he and I concur on. China, I think the Chinese are going to make a deal with us. It's going to be very helpful for the world. I think Putin is, as I said, and if you read my book, confronting evil, my God, the guy is just a psychopath now. And the kicker on it is that in order to stop Putin, Trump's got to convince China to pull away from him. That is the key. He might be able to do it. All right, as far as Gaza and the Middle east touched upon it a little bit. 157 countries say they want to recognize a Palestinian state, but there is no Palestinian state to recognize. I'm sitting there going, okay, it's all right with me you want to recognize a Palestinian state, but go ahead, try to find them. Hamas runs Gaza as willow runs the West Bank. We're going to negotiate with terrorists. And that's what Trump says. If you prop up a Palestinian state, this is a reward to Hamas. That's why the USA won't do it. I might handle it a little bit differently if I were president, but I have no objection because it's true the terrorists control the Arab presence around Israel. There's nobody else, though. You can recognize anybody you want. But see if they return your phone call because there's no phones and there's no building. And that's the memo. All right. As a free speech update. So yesterday Disney announced Jimmy Kimmel's coming back. He'll be on air tonight. We will cover tomorrow. Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcasting. 62, 62 ABC affiliates aren't taking Kimmel. That's death in the ratings for him. But he'll get a big night tonight. People will look in. Reports are he's not going to apologize. I don't know what he's going to do. I'll farm this out for my producers to watch. Maybe if I'm up, I'll my tune in. But we'll report honestly and accurately tomorrow. ABC is a big loser here. The Disney Corporation, they're evaporating right before our eyes. Is there one person in the 77 million who voted for Donald Trump liking the Walt Disney Company? 1. And the reason they folded Disney is because the ACLU wrote a letter that was signed by 400 entertainment people. Here's a partial list. Rosie O', Donnell, Maya Rudolph, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Robert De Niro, Natalie Portman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Fonda, the usual suspects on the left saying that Kimmel is a victim and freedom of speech is a violation. None of those people, by the way, care that Kimmel didn't put on a non liberal voice on his program for three years. That's a real assault on freedom of speech, as I said over and over. So I'm not going to belabor it. But you know, these people live in a bubble world out there in Hollywood. I got to deal with some of them. I'm respectful. But I know what it is. Turning Point USA is against Kimmel's return. They have not issued a statement about it per se, but they made it clear that they don't think he should be broadcasting for abc. Okay, let's go over to vengeance. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Part of the Bible. Right. But Donald Trump intruded on that a little bit. So he wants to get his enemies, no doubt about it. You want to be honest. And we do, of course. So there are three cases against people that Donald Trump despises. One is Senator Schiff from California. The other is New York Attorney General Letitia James and final, former FBI Director James Comey. There they are. All three have tortured Donald Trump, tried to destroy him and his family, and now Trump is coming after them. So There was a U.S. attorney in Virginia Eric Seibert, who was in charge of James and Comey. And Trump fired him because apparently he wasn't moving fast enough or didn't want to move or something. I don't know exactly what Mr. Cyber did wrong, but he's fired. Replaced by Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, 36 years old from Colorado. She worked in Florida with the President. She is the new attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Now, again, she's going to do what Donald Trump suggests, but she can't manufacture evidence. She can't. But she can aggressively investigate. These things are very murky. So Adam Schiff, he apparently has a house in Maryland that he's not doing. He's saying that he lives there, but he doesn't live there. And Letitia James, the same thing. She has a house in Virginia and she said it was a primary residence, but it's not a primary residence. And Comey, it's all about lying about the Russian collusion investigation. Those are the three charges that are swirling. All right, so on Adam Schiff, here's what President Trump said. Go.

[Donald Trump]

I stay out of it purposely, but it's mortgage loan fraud. It's a big deal. He defrauded banks and insurance companies and the federal government, but it's very simple. It's mortgage loan fraud. And you're right, it's a lot of people to live in a one bedroom apartment. Right. But he put it down. But he has a lot of other things far worse than that. So no, Adam Schiff, they have him 100% on mortgage fraud.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, I don't know whether they have 100% because he would be indicted then. But that's a Maryland play. As far as Letitia James, it's kind of the same situation with a mortgage deal. Roll it.

[Donald Trump]

Well, I don't know what it is currently, but Letitia James, who's the Attorney General of New York State, it seemed I'm not involved in that at all. I know that it's being handled by various groups, I guess, but it's major fraud, mortgage documents and fraudulent everything.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, so, I mean, he says he's not involved, but Donald Trump's monitoring this. You know, he is joining us now from Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma under Donald Trump in his first term. Trent Shores, why do you think Eric Seibert in Virginia was fired?

Thank you Dana. We heard you introducing the New York.

[Trent Shores]

Listen when you sign up to be a United States Attorney, you serve at the pleasure of the President. So you know going into that job that you may be forced into situations where you have to make a decision. In this case, I don't know that we publicly know enough facts to know why Mr. Seibert was removed from his position. But, but that is a power that the President enjoys. He is the leader of the executive branch. He can set priorities, he can give direction. The one thing that, that the President doesn't do as he's, you know, as he knows is, is make charging decisions. So that ultimately is left up to the United States Attorney and to the officials at, at, at DOJ in this case.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But you have to assume it's Cyber was reporting to Pam Bondi, the attorney General, and Pam Bonney was reporting to Trump and Trump did not like the way this investigation was being handled. I mean, that's 100% right?

[Trent Shores]

Yeah. I don't know that we know it's 100% that the president didn't like how the investigation was being handled. I think what the President is wanting are charges brought sooner. He believes that based on what he knows. It certainly seems that he thinks there is a case that is provable beyond a reasonable doubt. We have to remember we don't know what evidence Mr. Seibert or his team of investigators have assembled, but there is no question that there is an investigation ongoing. A mortgage fraud case, Bill, it's a white collar case. These aren't always quick or swift investigations. They're document laden and intensive. So it could be that they just haven't reached an ultimate conclusion yet whether to bring charges.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, well, I think that is the case. But Cyber was displeasing President Trump because he's won out of What? How many U.S. attorneys are there? There's hundreds across the country and he's singled out for a firing. Now, when you were attorney, the U.S. attorney in Oklahoma, what did you have to do on high profile cases? Did you have to call Bill Barr, the Attorney general? Did you have to keep him up to speed? How does that work?

[Trent Shores]

Sure, that's a great question because a lot of folks don't know you are empowered as a presidentially appointed and Senate confirmed United States Attorney to make those tough calls. But again, you don't do so in isolation. We look to the Justice Manual, which is our sort of insider handbook that provides U.S. guidelines and policies. And when you have a high profile case like that, you are going to coordinate, of course, with the office of the Attorney General. In my case, that was Bill Barr and that was Jeff Sessions. You're also going to work closely with the deputy Attorney general to ensure that what you're doing is in accordance with department policy.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, and they want to know too. So when Trump asks them or Biden or whatever president, they can say this is where it is, this is how they're going to. And this is the odds of indictment, on and on and on. But I would assume that there are some US Attorneys that get cases they don't like and they kind of slow walk it, Right?

[Trent Shores]

I don't know that there are U.S. attorneys in my experience, Bill, that will slow walk a case if they have been presented with their job by that particular president. I don't think any prosecutor becomes a prosecutor because they don't want to prosecute cases.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But what about the politics of it? I mean, you know, not, I wouldn't say in Oklahoma that would be a major factor where you are, but certainly in Washington, D.C. my God, there's politics and everything there. So if this guy's cyber, if his whole world is, you know, anti Trump, which is absolutely possible, and he doesn't want to really bring charges against Comey and who, who he probably knows, right? Comey, I have to know him and James. And then he's kind of, kind of like, well, you know, you know how it goes. You can pedal to the metal or you can just give it to your 15th guy. Right.

[Trent Shores]

Listen, there's no doubt that it's a political appointment, but I think you see that U.S. attorneys that do the job well follow where the evidence leads. And that's not always politically convenient. At the same time, there is no problem with the attorney general or even the president himself expressing that they hope their prosecutors, their US attorneys are more aggressive. Looking at Mr. Seibert's case in the Eastern District of Virginia, he has to make a determination. One, whether he has the evidence to satisfy the elements of the crime, to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and two, he has to look at who's going to be in his jury pool there in the Eastern District of Virginia.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And.

[Trent Shores]

And I think those present challenges potentially, to bringing a case that has this perception, as it's been presented by mainstream media, that it's a political prosecution, even if it's not.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, so you're suggesting that Mr. Seibert may have gotten shafted on this.

[Trent Shores]

I'm not saying you got shafted.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, I know you're not saying it, but you're saying you're leaving open the possibility that he was doing his job in an honest way and he got whacked because Trump wanted it done faster.

[Trent Shores]

Sure, I think that's possible. This idea of justice delayed is justice denied is not a foreign concept in our system. But, yes, Mr. Cyber had choices in front of him. And it appears that when you serve at the pleasure of the president, as is the case in any administration, that you may face choices that could result in you needing to step away from your job.

[Bill O'Reilly]

All right, we appreciate it, Councilor. Thanks very much for helping us out. I think that he was honest. And every president has certain cases that they're very interested in, and they want specific updates, and if you don't give it to them, you're gone. And that's just the way the system works. Okay, I hesitate to tell you about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from Texas, but I'm going to do it because there's a big point, a much more important point. She doesn't matter. She wants to be a OC she wants to be famous. She knows she gets famous by attacking President Trump in ways that are over the top. So she gets attention on social media. We all know what the game is, in my opinion. She's not looking out for the people in her district. She's trying to build a fame quotient. This is Jasmine Crockett. Okay, so she's a big Trump is Hitler person. That's what she is. Now, if she would like to sit across from me and we'll invite her to discuss Confronting evil and the chapter on Hitler, which is stuff you have no idea about, I would be happy to do that because I know a lot about the Third Reich, and I don't believe Jasmine Crockett knows anything about it. But I could be wrong. Maybe she is a German scholar. Okay, so she appears on CNN of course. And she's still spouting this radical, progressive point of view. Roll the tape.

[Caitlin Becker]

But do you have a responsibility as an elected official not to raise the temperature, but rather lower the temperature, particularly when there are people out there who listen to elected officials all over the place who are not well, who use that as a way to instigate the political violence that you are calling out? I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest. And the reality is that we are living in a time in which this administration and this regime is not interested in. Sure. That people understand history. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language. When we see the consolidation of power, when we see them trying to chill speech of jokesters, when we're seeing all of this, that is a playbook out of Hitler, and I won't deny it. Like, these are the facts.

No newspaper is more iconic than the New York Post. So why not start your day with me telling you our best stories? Hi, I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Post Cast. Every weekday morning, I'll break down the headlines that matter to you and the stories you're going to want to talk to your friends about. It's a mix of politics, business, pop culture, basically everything you expect from the New York Post. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, it's not so. If you were a dissenter of the Third Reich after 1933, you weren't removed from your job. You were either killed or put in a concentration camp. Dachau was the first one. It wasn't like you got a call from the Reich Chancery in Berlin saying, hey, drag Jimmy Kimmel off the air. No, that's not what the Third Reich did. They marched some Gestapo agents into the television studio. TV wasn't even invented then, but let's say radio. And they grabbed the guy and threw him in a car. Ms. Crockett. Okay? That's what the Third Reich was under Adolf Hitler. And no comparison to what the United States is. None. Got it, lady. I'll give you a hundred more. I know I'm being disrespectful, but she doesn't deserve to be respected, Jasmine Crockett, because she's not looking out for her people. She's not looking out for her district. What good does it do? What good does her radical, progressive profile do the Texans in her district? What media madness. Pete Hegseth, now, you know, I did not think that was a good appointment. I don't know him, but I know about him. And now he is telling the people who cover the Pentagon, 90 reporters, that they can no longer gather or report information, even if it's not classified, unless it's been authorized for release by the federal government. So if you get a story, somebody tells you a story that you corroborate about the Pentagon, say how much it paid for constructing a bathroom on a submarine, that you can't report the story unless Piggy Pete Hegset says you can. No. This is a direct violation of the Constitution. Now, that is where Crockett should be going. That is wrong, and President Trump knows it. Roll tape.

[Trent Shores]

Pentagon be in charge of deciding what. What reporters can report on.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Nothing.

[Donald Trump]

Listen. Nothing stops recording.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I'm glad he said that. Now, Mr. Hegseth. I don't know why he did. Okay. I'm kind of surprised because the Supreme Court would slap that down in 10 seconds. I don't believe that Mr. Hegseth will be in the federal government this time next year. Maybe sooner. That's not good. Kamala Harris is making the liberal media rounds, promoting a new book. She's on Ms. Last night.

[Caitlin Becker]

Go talk about the power being with the people and the people making that clear with their checkbooks. As it relates to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. We saw the power of the people over the last few days, and it spoke volumes and it moved a decision in the right direction. I think that part of where we are now in terms of thinking about what the fight is, requires us, yes, to understand that we've got this administration and this president in front of us abusing the power that the people vested him with. But we also need to understand that this is bigger than Donald Trump.

[Bill O'Reilly]

What a bunch of hooey. It wasn't the power of the people that moved Disney. It was the entertainment industry through the talent brokers, which told Disney, we're not going to do business with you. So 400, as we pointed out, signed an ACLU letter and Disney panicked, going, oh, we're not going to be able to hire actors or writers or produce. Producers are being hate us. We don't want them. It wasn't the people. Most of the people couldn't care less whether Jimmy Kimmel, Zanier or not. All right. The people rose up. Yeah. Okay. Just shows you how limited the intellect is in those circles. Final thought of the day, as you may have heard, big, and I mean big, three American show at the Kennedy center in Washington, D.C. on October 15th. So this is going to be broadcast live on News Nation and the CW network. They're taking out the car racing and they're putting in Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo, and me, your humble correspondent. It's going to be a good show. Now, tickets are limited in the Kennedy center, all right, so if you go to the News Nation website, I guess newsnation.com and you, you put Kennedy or something in the upper right corner, you'll get how you can get tickets to the show. October 15th, Washington, D.C. kennedy center, three Americans. You will like it live broadcast all over. And I've seen the lineup of guests and it's quite something. So we're going to have a lot of laughs, but it's going to be discussing serious things. The three Americans concept, as you know, is very, as President Trump would say, hot. It's a very hot concept. Maybe the hottest concept in the world. Probably not. But hey, we'd love to see you there in the Kennedy center in D.C. on October 15th. Thank you for watching and listening to the no spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
