Bill O'Reilly
Foreign Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for June 11, Wednesday, 2025. Stand up for your Country Pack show. I talked to President Trump this morning. I'll tell you a little bit about that. We're trying to get accurate information about the ICE protests last night. Very difficult to get that information. Shouldn't be, but it is. And I'll tell you why it's difficult to get that information. And we are assessing why social order is collapsing in the United States and it really has to do with American fathers. So we got Father's Day coming up. I think you'll find this segment fascinating. We have a terrific guest for you on it. The Talking Points memo is the ICE situation. Here's an update. What happened on Tuesday evening in Los Angeles. Finally, the mayor declared not martial law, but a curfew in one square mile area of downtown la. Only took her four days. That's all arrests. They're not telling us how many people were arrested on Tuesday night because not many were. This is dying out as I predicted it would. 200 people have been taken into custody since we last spoke to you, but I don't know how many of those have been arrested. You know, they're kind of gathering people around. There was no looting or vandalism last night and I do not believe there will be any going forward. Could be wrong, but this doesn't have a constituency. All right, Most Americans, they're not upset by ICE going to find criminal illegal aliens. Now, there are mistakes being made. Sure you're going to have that in any kind of a mass action. In New York City, over 80 arrested. None of them will be prosecuted for anything. Very small. Cops say 1,500 protesters. I have the number at less than a thousand. At nine o' clock, they all went home. So they wanted to watch something on TV or something, wasn't it? Denver, 17 arrests again. Three of those were for graffiti f the ice, you know, that kind of stuff. San Francisco, 200 protesters. There's nothing. There's nothing in San Francisco, which is the most progressive place in the country. Chicago cops won't tell us how many arrests. I don't think there were any at all. Atlanta, six people arrested. That's nothing. Philadelphia, 15 arrested. That's nothing. 150 protesters to cops say in Philly, 150. And these are all hardcore anarchists. They're not people actually protesting a cause. They hate the country and they'll come out for any reason. All right. So let's get down to it with Governor Newsom I told Hannity on his radio program today, and it's worth listening to because we not only cover ice riots, we cover China and Iran, and it's on BillORiley.com, but I told him a very provocative thing. I believe Gavin Newsom wanted these riots to get out of control. And I'm not an irresponsible guy. I'm not an ideologue. I believe he wanted them to get out of control so that that would provoke President Trump into doing something that Newsom could use against Mr. Trump. And let me back it up. So when your police chief in Los Angeles says, we're overwhelmed, which he did on the first night of the riots, our police officers are in danger, we can't protect property, and the ICE agents are in danger as well. When your police chief says that in a press conference and you are the governor, what's the first thing you do? You call out the National Guard. You have to. Newsom didn't do it. Still hasn't done it. Still hasn't done it. And I don't know of any increased state police presence in Los Angeles either. Maybe there is, but it's negligible. Now, if you are a logical thinker like I am, that says to me, Newsom did not want to stop these riots. He wanted them to get out of control so that he could blame them on Trump, which he did anyway. All right? Now, the president, understanding what happened after George Floyd isn't going to sit for this. As soon as the police chief said, we're overwhelmed, bang, federal authority took over. He has the legal authority. We went over it with the 1807 act, okay? Yesterday, if you're a concierge or Premium Member, Billorilly.com Get a transcript. These. All these lawsuits are just nuisance lawsuits. They're not going to stop anything. Okay? So I would have done exactly what Trump did. Exactly. I would have sent in a guard, and I would have put 200 Marines in there, okay? To give the guard some relief, to back the guard up. The Marines are right down the road. 29 palms. Know I'm. As an American citizen, I'm not outraged at all about this. And the polling shows that most Americans agree with me. But the most important point is that Newsom, who wants to be president, wanted this. Now Bass is just befuddled. The mayor of LA way in over her head, all right? She's down 1,000 police officers. The LAPD is a thousand thousand light, and they can't recruit. Who wants to work for the lapd? Nobody. They'll go to the county. And the fires. You saw Bass. She's over in Africa. I mean, this is ridiculous. Now, it said to cost 134 million to deploy the Guard. It's a lot of money. I'm waiting an audit. But what else are you going to do? If you're president, you got to protect lives and property. That's your job. Have to do it. You don't wait till it gets out of control. You cut it off. Once the cop says, I can't do it, then you have to move in. That makes sense to everybody. I hope so. All right, so the basic line of the Hate Trump Brigades is. Is that he is a fascist dictator. And they'll do everything they can to try to prove that point. Now, here are the 10 most militant sanctuary people in public service. All right, Newsom, Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston. Governor Pritzker, who testifies tomorrow about sanctuary policies. And I'm all over that. That will lead the show tomorrow. Pritzker is worse than Newsom. Okay. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, aoc, you know, Communist Mike Johnson. The mayor of Denver, Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota, who was almost vice president. Oh, boy. Kathy Hochul, New York. The governor. Westmore, Maryland. The governor wants to be president. This is going to hurt more. And Mayor Jacob Frye of Minneapolis. Those are the top 10, in our opinion. Okay. Are they looking out for the country? They looking out for you? No. And that's the memo. All right. Nancy Pelosi. You know, I would say she's one of the most dishonest public servants I've ever seen. Here's what she said about the riots.
Nancy Pelosi
Go in a bipartisan way on January 6th with violence against the Constitution, against the Congress, and against the United States Capitol. We begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it. Not only would he not do it, when law enforcement people were being harmed, some later died, he would not send it in.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, there was a reason why he wouldn't send it in. Because he alerted the guard. On January 5, Kash Patel carried that message over to the Pentagon. We know. We've documented that. So here's the strange thing about Nancy Pelosi. She was riding in an automobile with her daughter Alexandra, a documentary filmmaker, and her chief of staff, Terry McCullough. Her daughter was taping her in the car. Roll the tape.
Terry McCullough
We have responsibility, Terry. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous. You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that. Should we call the Capitol Police?
Bill O'Reilly
Police.
Terry McCullough
I mean, the National Guard. Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with? They thought that they had sufficient. No, there's not a question of how they have been. They don't know. They clearly didn't know. And I take responsibility for not having them. Just prepare for war.
Bill O'Reilly
So Nancy Pelosi takes responsibility in a private automobile, but then blames Trump. Okay, there it is. Poll, CBS News poll. Okay. About the immigration policies of President Trump. First question, do you approve or disapprove the way Trump is handling immigration? Approve. 50. Disapprove. 50. Second question, do you approve or disapprove of the way the Trump administration is programming to find and deport immigrants or. Or in the USA illegally? Approved. 54. Disapprove. 46. Final question. Do you think the Trump administration is mainly prioritizing dangerous criminals or deporting people who are not dangerous? Prioritizing dangerous criminals. 53. Not dangerous. 47. Now, one of the mistakes that have been made by the Trump administration is the what I call separation failure. So there's no question that the Trump administration is finding heinous criminals who are protected by the sanctuary system. That's beyond any reasonable doubt. But in the sweeps, nonviolent people, non criminals who are undocumented do get taken into custody. Those people should be put in a separate facility. There should be federal judges there to go through their files. Okay. To decide whether they should immediately be deported along with the criminals or whether there's extenuating circumstances that wouldn't be hard to implement. I mean, there are a lot of them, but you could do it. And that's what I would have done. Let's shift over to China. So I talked to President Trump this morning about China. Obviously, I've reported over the last two weeks about my trip to Beijing and that this is the most important story in the world. Detente between the United States and China. So in London, there were two days of negotiations. Here's how the president summed it up. Quote, I do what China has done, subject to final approval with the President Xi and me, full magnets. And any necessary rare earths will be supplied up front by China. Likewise, we will provide to China was agreed to, including Chinese students, using our colleges and universities, which has always been good with me. We're getting a total of 55% tariffs. China is getting 10%. Relationship is excellent, unquote. And I did talk to the president. He is very optimistic about his continued Dealings with President Xi. I'm not so optimistic. I'm neutral, not pessimistic. I had a big phone call late yesterday afternoon after we taped the no spin news with the mediator for the Chinese. You know, they're tough boys. They are tough boys. It's going in the right direction, I can tell you that with certainty. It's heading in the right direction. Once those deals are made, all of the other tariff deals will fall into place. But something that could disrupt this is an attack on Iran. Now this gets a little complicated. So there's a feud between Mark Levin and Tucker Carlson. I'm not getting into it. Okay. Mr. Carlson is not a proponent of attacking Iran. Mark Levin, I think basically puts forth that he. If the only way to stop the mullahs from developing a nuke is to attack them, then you have to do it. And they're calling each other names and stuff. Okay? That's just the basic tabloid headline of it. The truth of the matter is this. There is a negotiation coming up this weekend between the mullahs and the usa. Iran's got to know that if it doesn't stop enriching uranium, Israel will attack it 100%. That's 100%. Donald Trump could not stop that attack even if he wanted to. The President does not want military action in Iran because it disrupts the whole world and it would set us back at least six months, maybe a year in any kind of constructive economic engagement that you have. The Middle east inflamed, terrorism rising, dead Persians in the streets. Trump doesn't want that. But if the Iranians aren't going to stop, they're going to get hit 100% and we can't stop Israel from doing it. Keep that in mind. Huge story. Now this was discussed on Sunday at Camp David and the participants were the President, the Vice President, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Hegseth, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Special envy Steve Witkoff who will be talking to the Iranians this weekend. That was extremely high level meeting. Very little is leaked out about it. I know about it, but I can't. I can't. Okay. You know, a lot of this stuff to me is off the record. I have to honor it. But it does shape my commentary to you. The fact that I know what's happening. Media madness. So you'll remember that ABC News senior national Correspondent Terry Moran, 28 years at the network, said that President Trump and Wise have Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller are haters. So ABC had a suspend him for doing that on X, I guess he put it up because he's a reporter. He's not a commentator like me. I can say that Gavin Newsom wants to blow up the streets of Los Angeles. I'm a commentator. I can do that. All right? If I'm out there reporting the story, I can't. So Moran was suspended and now they fired him. I would not have fired the man. 28 years. Unless he has something else on a sheet that I don't know about. We don't know about, though. Maybe he's a loon. I don't know the guy. But unless ABC News has got stuff that he's done in the past that they've covered up, I don't think I would have fired him. I spent him for a couple of months, probably this summer, sending that message. But what you should know about this is the corporations don't care about anybody. It's like professional sports. It's the same thing. If you are in a position where the corporation is getting hurt, you're gone, or the sports team is getting hurt, you're out of there. Okay? I don't care you're in there 28 years or anything. Now, I don't feel sorry for Moran. I never really had much use for him. But I'm not a vengeful man and I'm a fair man. If I were running ABC News and he had a clean sheet, I would not have fired him. Cash Patel, the FBI director, is suing an MSNBC columnist, Frank Fig Leozzi. Frank Figliosi. There he is. Hey, Frank. How you doing, man? So Frank reported that Cash Patel doesn't go to work, he goes to nightclubs all night, which is false. It's just not true. And Patel can document it. So Patel files a lawsuit in Texas because he'll win in Texas, and about, you know, giving Frank a hard time, which he should. You know, I have been tempted so many times to sue these people, but I am so famous that the. And they say, oh, what's your damages, O'Reilly? You're still doing really well. And, you know, then you waste all that money and you're not going to win anyway. But the cash fatality, you know, that's ridiculous. So I'm glad he filed a suit. All right. Social disorder. So one of the big downsides of living in America is that our security, personal security, has declined dramatically in 50 years. After World War II, pretty sane, safe society. Wasn't a lot of craziness going on. Now it's out of control, particularly in the cities Run by the left, social disorder is rising to a point never before seen in the world, not just in the United States. Some stats. Right now, there are 19 million homes without fathers in the United States. According to Census Bureau, nearly 1 in 4 kids don't have a dad. Okay, ethnic breakdown, Asian homes 15% without fathers white 20 Hispanic 29 blacks. A whopping 50% of African American homes do not have a father. Present children four times more likely to be poor without a dad. 71% of kids who abuse substance come from fatherless homes. 85% of youth in prison, fatherless homes. 90% of runaways fatherless homes. 60% of youth suicides fatherless homes. The USA has the highest rate of children living in single parent households of any nation in the world. Joining us now from Wake Forest, North Carolina is Pastor John Amanchuku. He is a father's advocate. He has written a book called Hoodwink 10 Lies Americans Believe and the Truth that Will Set Them Free. And he is an activist as well as being a pastor. So I ask for you, a pastor, because I know that you're deeply, emotionally involved with this subject. And that's what I want. Why? Why has fatherhood declined so dramatically in this country?
Pastor John Amanchuku
Well, I would say, as it relates to the black community, that it has been social engineering. From the 1890s all the way up to the 1950s, the black marriage rate rivaled that of whites. But in the 1960s, Lyndon B. Johnson came along with his Great Society plan, a strategic plan as a means of removing the black man from the home and replacing him with a $300 check. Out goes dad. And here comes Big Daddy. God government coming in, replacing the father.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, let me stop. Let me stop you there. That is a widely believed theory. But dad doesn't have to leave the home. Dad doesn't have to walk out the door no matter what. Lyndon Johnson did. Correct?
Pastor John Amanchuku
That is true. And I agree with that. That's the reason why I haven't left. However, during that time frame, in order to receive certain government assistance programs, dad had to leave. And so for a family, why couldn't.
Bill O'Reilly
Dad get a job to support his family as African American fathers did from, you know, the Civil War times until Post World War II, when you create.
Pastor John Amanchuku
Welfare states, you shift the ideology and the framework of a person's mind. These are Marxist tactics and strategies that were pushed on the black community by the Democrat Party.
Bill O'Reilly
But the Democrat. But the black community accepted them. Don't they have responsibility? Of course.
Pastor John Amanchuku
They have personal responsibility and accountability to it. I Haven't succumbed to it because I understand scriptures, the Bible says if a man doesn't work, neither shall he eat. But there are a lot of people during that time frame, after going through harsh treatment by the federal government and through state laws, through Jim Crow, who thought it was necessary to gain much of their achievement through policy. And they bowed to the altar of Lyndon B. Johnson and they thought that government was their best way out. Do I agree with that? Of course not. I'm a Christian conservative.
Bill O'Reilly
Let's, let's say that's true. But we have now an epidemic of fathers in 2025 that's just split. They don't care. There's no contact with. They're gone. And is there peer pressure? And I don't want to make this just about African Americans because obviously all ethnic groups are affected by it. Sure.
Pastor John Amanchuku
It's the pandemic.
Bill O'Reilly
Right. Is there peer pressure on these people? I would never associate with a father who abandoned their children, ever. Why isn't that mindset prevalent?
Pastor John Amanchuku
Well, as you consider this, you know, CS Lewis once talked about chestless men, and I do believe that that's part of the problem as well. Moving away from these, the social engineering of the Democrat Party. It's also. You're dealing with a case of chestless men and men who have sacrificed their role at the feet of feminism, I think.
Bill O'Reilly
But again, that's a choice. That's a choice.
Pastor John Amanchuku
I, I, I, I, I agree. Bill. I've been married for 17 years. I have three children. I'm still, I'm still leading my family. I believe that men are called to provide and protect and be the priest of their home. But this is typically what we're hearing today as a result of why men have abdicated their role and responsibility and left the home because they're fighting with the onslaught of feminism. They're also contending this is an excuse.
Bill O'Reilly
I mean, if you go to a prison, I'm sure you've been and you talk to these violent criminals, almost every single one of them had either an abusive father, beat the hell out of them, or no father. Sure. That that's what drives violent crime. No supervision. Mothers, once, once the boy becomes 13, 14. Mothers can't control a boy physically, can't control him. Okay. That's what drives the whole thing. But when these men go out and socialize with other people, there doesn't seem to be any stigma for leaving your kids. I don't get it.
Pastor John Amanchuku
I agree with you, Bill. However, I do think that needs to be a stigma. There I think the role and the responsibility of the father needs to be made clear and men must hold to it. I'm leading a national campaign where I'm calling men out to the forefront to stand up and to fight for, for the nuclear family. I can only express to you what I am hearing from men in this culture. However, I do think that it's a part of the fallen nature of man. Man, since the beginning, has abdicated his role. They've chosen to be, for the lack of better words, out to lunch when they should have been, the priest of their home, in place, standing and leading.
Bill O'Reilly
But the only thing that's going to reverse that, government can't reverse that. I think you would agree with me on that. So government can't. Can't legislate good parents. They can't. I mean, they can put you in jail if you beat your kid up or you neglect your child. They can take the child away, which is, you know, in a lot of cases, worse than keeping a child there. So the government can't do it. It's got to be societal pressure on the fathers who are derelict, okay? And it's not there. There's a reason the United States leads the whole planet in fathers not being present. There's no stigma to it here. That's what has to happen. And because there's so much secularism, they don't believe in God, they don't believe in the Bible, they don't believe in anything. All right, I don't even know what the solution here is. If you know, please tell me.
Pastor John Amanchuku
Well, I think that the solution, first and foremost, is a Christian home and men bowing to God first and foremost.
Bill O'Reilly
And being a pastor because God doesn't want them to take narcotics. God doesn't want them to be out getting drunk. God doesn't want them to be out doing whatever they're doing. And if they're not going to do it, they're not. Even if Jesus came down tomorrow, I submit to you that a quarter of the population would go, I'm not going to do it. Last word.
Pastor John Amanchuku
Well, no, Bill, I hear what you're saying and I'm wrestling with it myself daily with, as a council and lead men. However, there are some men out there who want that. They want the tough father figure, they want to have the coach slash athlete relationship. They want to be challenged, they want to be checked and they want to be corrected. But so there is a crop of men out there who still want to be a part of the nuclear family and leave their homes and not Abdicate their role.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, but we need more guys like you to go out there and spread that word. But, man, it's tough because the entertainment industry, they don't give a hoot. You know that. All right? Nobody, you know, the politicians are afraid of it because if you say, hey, 50% of African American homes don't have a dad, you're a racist. Okay? As soon as you say that, you're a racist. And so that's. The society that we live in is so difficult to get through. But that is the only solution to the social disorder, having responsible parents, not just fathers, but the father has got to be the supervisor of the son, right?
Pastor John Amanchuku
Yes, I. I agree with that. Bill. Bill. Fathers need to take responsibility. Biblical responsibility is placed upon the man. If the marriage and the family succeeds, it's because the man has done his. Has done his part to show humility and to guide and to lead his family.
Bill O'Reilly
And that's most important thing.
Pastor John Amanchuku
Most important thing. And we're not seeing that across the board, but I do believe that revival comes when that takes place. And so as we model this before men and we make masculinity and fatherhood and protecting the nuclear family something that's prominent, we'll see a revival there. This is why I thought again, all right?
Bill O'Reilly
I think the politicians have got to start spreading that message as well. Hey, Happy Father's Day, Pastor. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us. We really appreciate it.
Pastor John Amanchuku
Likewise, you, too. God bless you.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. Smart Life. So as a study for the Global Burden of Disease database, where these things are, and it says if you drink heavily, you're going to get cancer, all right? More than if you don't. And I believe it. And I've always believed it. I believe it on the pot thing, too. That's why I put this in Smart Life. If you're ingesting intoxicants into your body on a regular basis, what do you think is going to happen? That's not natural. All right? That's like sniffing cleaning fluid or something. You're getting. Something's going to break down. It's like tobacco. Tobacco into your lungs every day. What do you think's going to happen? But again, that message is, oh, no, let's pay $18 for a cocktail. A dirty martini won't. Look, I'm no prude. I don't care. If you got your life under control and you want to relax with a drink, that's fine. But if you're doing it on a regular basis, man not only going to hurt Yourself, but you're going to hurt everybody else because of the medical bills. So you got more of a chance to get breast, liver, colon, throat, voice box, mouth and esophagus cancer if you drink. Heavily Canadian road trips, the USA down 38%. Predictable. Canadians are mad at Trump and the United States. So they're not coming here. They're not driving here. That's not good for the economy. And then you get the Stanley cup finals, Florida versus Edmonton. They're beating each other up, so there's still bad will there. My message to my Canadian friends is, lighten up. I hate to use that cliche, but look, it's not important. You're not going to. We're not taking you over. Deals can be worked out. You know, if you want to drive down to see Mount Hood in the Northwest. Drive down. I mean, you know, don't say. In history. June 11, 1979. Actor John Wayne dies of cancer. Stomach cancer. There were three action male titans in history. Three. Who do you think they were? Come on, real quick. Sean Connery, James Bond, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. Now, I know the rock. I know what we got now. And they're fine. They do what they do. Sylvester Stallone, all of that. But these are the three type. Let me give you an example of John Wayne, his last movie. Go.
John Wayne
You hold it right there. Give me your wallet. Take it a little easy with that cannon, mister. Just throw me a wallet. Yes, sir. A little something extra. Murdered me. No, but you're gonna have a long winter bellyache, you boob. Give me that wallet. Just the wallet. I can hardly move.
Pastor John Amanchuku
You done shot a hole in my stomach.
John Wayne
I appreciate that.
Bill O'Reilly
He was. You know, it's hard for me to put it into words, but you know charisma when you see it. And John Wayne, yeah, he's a conservative guy. Got in trouble for some comments. All right, but just on the screen, all right? Connery, Eastwood and Wayne. Now, I. I wouldn't say I'm friends, but I knew Sean Connery before he died. And I know Clint Eastwood. He's 95. And there's totally different in person than they are in the movie. I never met John Wayne, but on the screen, those guys are mesmerizing. So John wayne, he died 46 years ago today. A lot of young Americans don't even remember. All right? He won the Academy Award in 69 for True Grit. You probably remember that flick, 170 movies. And he got the Presidential Medal of freedom posthumously in 1980. So anything John Wayne is in, I'll watch. The final thought will be on people who hate the country. Here's the final thought of the day. I'll make it brief. You know, I'd say 10, 15% of our population hates the United States of America. Many feel that we're a racist country, always have been. And you saw the flag burning stuff in la. Okay. And that reminded me that there is a law against burning the flag and you can be fined and imprisoned for a year if you set an American flag on fire. Now that will never happen in California. It would happen in Texas, Oklahoma, conservative states. But in the liberal states it would never happen. But there is a law on the books. You can't burn the American flag. Final thought of the day. And you shouldn't. This country provides more opportunity than any other nation on earth. I've been to 86 countries just back from China. We're lucky we live here. We'll see you again tomorrow.
Episode: Protest Outrage, Americans in Favor of Trump’s Immigration Policy, New China Deal & Pastor John Amanchukwu on the Decline of Fatherhood
Release Date: June 12, 2025
In the June 12, 2025 episode of "Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis," host Bill O'Reilly delves into several pressing issues affecting the United States. The episode covers protests against ICE, public support for President Trump's immigration policies, a new deals agreement with China, and a profound discussion on the decline of fatherhood featuring Pastor John Amanchukwu. O'Reilly emphasizes his commitment to presenting facts without spin, aiming to provide listeners with a clear and comprehensive understanding of these topics.
Timestamp: [00:00 – 08:23]
Bill O'Reilly begins by addressing the ICE protests that occurred in various U.S. cities, providing a detailed account of the events and the law enforcement response:
Los Angeles: A curfew was declared in one square mile of downtown LA four days after the protests began, resulting in 200 people taken into custody. O'Reilly notes the absence of significant looting or vandalism, suggesting the movement is losing momentum.
"There was no looting or vandalism last night and I do not believe there will be any going forward."
New York City: Over 80 arrests were made amidst approximately 1,500 protesters, though O'Reilly disputes the higher figure, estimating closer to 1,000 attendees.
Denver and San Francisco: Minimal arrests were reported in Denver (17) and virtually none in San Francisco, which O'Reilly describes as the most progressive city in the country.
Other Cities: Chicago, Atlanta, and Philadelphia saw 0, 6, and 15 arrests respectively, indicating a dispersed and declining protest movement.
O'Reilly emphasizes that most Americans support ICE's efforts to deport illegal immigrants, acknowledging minor mistakes but asserting the broader policy's effectiveness.
Timestamp: [08:23 – 10:09]
O'Reilly sharply criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom's handling of the ICE protests:
National Guard Deployment: O'Reilly questions why Newsom did not deploy the National Guard despite initial reports of police being overwhelmed.
"When your police chief says that in a press conference and you are the governor, what's the first thing you do? You call out the National Guard. You have to. Newsom didn't do it."
Intention Behind Protests: He speculates that Newsom may have allowed the protests to escalate intentionally to provoke political fallout against President Trump.
Federal Intervention: O'Reilly asserts that President Trump would take decisive federal action to restore order, citing the legal authority under the 1807 act.
"If I'm out there reporting the story, I can't. So I would have done exactly what Trump did. Exactly. I would have sent in a guard, and I would have put 200 Marines in there."
Timestamp: [08:56 – 21:17]
O'Reilly presents data from a CBS News poll highlighting American support for President Trump's immigration policies:
Approval of Handling Immigration:
Support for Deportation Policies:
Prioritization of Dangerous Criminals:
He acknowledges a "separation failure" in distinguishing between nonviolent undocumented individuals and dangerous criminals during deportations. O'Reilly advocates for a more streamlined system where nonviolent offenders are processed separately, suggesting federal judges assess their cases individually.
Timestamp: [21:17 – 29:58]
Guest: Pastor John Amanchukwu, a father’s advocate and author from Wake Forest, North Carolina.
O'Reilly opens a segment discussing the alarming decline in fatherhood in the U.S., presenting statistics:
Key Discussion Points:
