Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Thursday, April 24, 2025. Stand up for your country. Next Tuesday marks 100 days for President Trump's second term and there'll be a lot of stuff floating around next week. We'll be involved with much of it, so stay close. We I think you'll enjoy what we have planned for you and I think you'll see how accurate we will be as opposed to everybody else, because they're not really in business to tell you what's going on. They're in business to push a certain point of view ideology. So there are a bunch of polls today and I'm not going to give them to you because I already did the Reuters poll earlier this week and they all said the same thing, that President Trump's approval rating is dropping. But that's because of the stock market. That's why that's happening. There's really no other variable at all at this point. And so when the stocks go up and down and up and down and up and down, people get worried. And it's naturally get worried. And then people go, I didn't. What's the cliche? This is not what I signed up for. I hate that anyway. And they go, but it's temporary. So if the market goes up 2,000 points by the middle of next week, then Trump's approval rating goes up. So if it were a fundamental thing, I would tell you immediately. You know that. But this is just. And I was just. I was watching a couple of presentations on, on the latest polling, and I just roll my eyes. If these people don't know that they're overselling this, then they shouldn't be journalists because it's not a foundational problem for the country Yet. Yet. We'll have a little bit more on that. Let's begin with the Talking Points Memo. So you mess around people's money, you're going to have a problem whether you're a politician, whether you're a neighbor, whether you're a son, a daughter, a husband or wife. You mess with people's money, it's going to be a problem because it's emotional and it's full of fear. But we work hard, most of us, to make an honest living, most of us, and we don't want people ripping us off or lying or doing anything like that. And all of that is perfectly fine. A politician gets into office and he wants to revamp the entire. The entire trade system of the country. Remember, we're the largest consumer society in the world by far. It's going to be turbulence, and I don't think that the Trump administration really laid that out before the Revolutionary Day or whatever he called it, okay, Just a few weeks ago. Okay? Now we're on a new path, and we're going to have trade deals that are much better for the usa. And Trump essentially is right. We've been ripped off for 50 years, ever since World War II. It's longer than 50 years. Other countries taking advantage of us. There's no debate, okay? They have. So. But Trump gets in, but he wants to do everything at once. And that's a problem because the markets are very sensitive to any change at all. Okay? So now Liberation Day is what he called. That was early this month. The market since Liberation day is down 6%. Now, that's not that bad. But if you have a stock portfolio to depend on for retirement or for children's education or for health, you know, I'm looking at mine, and all I can tell you is about how I experience it. Okay? I can't give you financial advice of any kind, but I can tell you what I do and how I feel. I look at mine and I go, oh, some days I don't even look. And I'm always calculating. I'm always, okay, how are we doing compared to this time last year? I just want to keep track of it. But the media has seized upon the wild gyrations in the stock market to bash Trump. And who is surprised all right, let's have one example from CBS News. Go.
Ryan Reynolds
Today, Wall street experienced the worst day since 2020. The post election boom that the president, when he was president elect pointed to.
Bill O'Reilly
Well, that's been erased.
Ryan Reynolds
Stock prices down and Americans with portfolios either for their retirement or for now are, are facing genuine losses. And the unhappy reality that they may be financially worse off than they were.
Bill O'Reilly
Before election day, that's kind of irresponsible. My Major Garrett, who is a liberal man, I work with him at Fox News, he shouldn't have said that they're facing genuine losses because they're facing temporary losses. Temporary is the accurate word, Major. You should know that. You've been around a long time. Genuine losses, what does that mean? Yeah, okay, on Tuesday you lost this, but on Wednesday, the market went up a thousand points and you got it back. Is that genuine? What are you talking about? Okay, that's bad journalism. All right, Number two, they may be financially worse off. They were before election day. Maybe, could, should. All right, but three weeks down, they might be up or it might be a catastrophe. If it is a catastrophe economically, then the press certainly has to report it that way. That's what killed Biden. That's what killed him. All right, he walks in and all of a sudden the price of food and gas go crazy and insurance goes nuts and people are going, what's this? And then Biden denied it. Oh, no, no, no. We're bringing our inflation down. It's like, no. So you can get in trouble. And President Trump knows that. And all you got to do is look at recent history. Jimmy Carter, okay, he killed himself because most Americans suffered economically in that four years. Carter is one of the worst presidents, basically on economics. He wasn't a star overseas either, but it was economics that killed him. All right, so on March 26th on a no spin news, I previewed all of what has happened for the last month. Really? Once the stock market comes down, starts coming down and people see their 401ks and a retirement funds or college funds, sun, quantum value, they get nervous and nobody understands the tariffs anyway. So that's what's going on now. It could go turn around real quickly. I tell everybody, don't panic, don't sell your equities unless you, you know, have a bad company and you know it's bad. Okay, So I have held my portfolio. I added a little bit, but not much because, because I don't know where it's going to go. However, I have changed my financial analysis a little bit. And because you know I'm honest with my viewers and listeners. I'm going to tell you what it is. Again. This is coming from my point of view, nowhere else. I don't like these guys at television telling you what the market's going to do or what stocks this and that. I don't like that. All right. So think back. For the last four weeks since this market has been turbulent, how much pain, emotional pain have you experienced? Were you distraught? Did it affect your moods? Did it affect your daily life? Did you get sick? I rely on physical precious metals like gold and silver to protect my savings. And the only company I trust is American Hartford Gold.

Bill O'Reilly
Is yes to any of those questions, you shouldn't be in a market. And now you have to think about getting out if it's making you sick, all of this tension, because remember the stock market and even the bond market to some extent is risky. It's always been risky. It always will be risky. It's not safe. You can lose everything. If you can't handle that, then you don't want to be there. And it's not a deficit, a personality deficit. It isn't. So those some of the happiest people I know are risk adverse. They don't want any risk in their life, but they're happy because they don't have a lot of this angst coming in on what's going to happen tomorrow? So I'm changing my analysis a little bit. If you did experience pain and only you know how much get out, you know, do it methodically, do it organized, but you don't want that or go cut it way down. And certainly don't ever invest money you don't have. Don't borrow to invest. That's what killed everybody in 1929. Never do that. Okay? A safer pathway is up to you. Nobody can tell you, you know yourself, you know your tolerance, you know everything in life. Don't listen to other people. Make your own decisions. That's a memo. Donald Trump met with the Prime Minister of Norway today. Trump hoping they can get some deal made in Ukraine so he'd be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, which comes out of Oslo. I don't know if that's why the prime minister, Norway's here or not. There's a lot of oil going on over Norway. So they had a lunch and all that. Then the President flies out to Virginia for dinner with the political action committee MAGA Inc. These are his vanguard guys who raised the money for him. Nothing wrong with that. Now he's having a little dinner with his supporters, saying hello, nothing wrong. And then he's going tomorrow to Rome for the Pope's funeral on Saturday and he's come right back. And then on Tuesday, the 100th day in office on a second term, he goes to Michigan for a rally. And then on Wednesday, the big one, the town hall meeting on News Nation that is going to be co anchored by me and Chris Cuomo and will feature leading off the town hall, President Trump. Roll the tape. It wasn't hard for me to convince the President to do it right. It wasn't hard because I just said, look. No, because I said everybody else is going to either kiss your butt. First hundred days you're Abraham Lincoln, that's what the right wing media will do. And first hundred days you're Hitler or whatever. That's what the left media is going to do. Every other news organization on television in this country will do that, but not us. We'll have a balanced approach of people with different points of view. And I'm looking forward to that because I'm really the bouncer here. I'm the co anchor with Chris Cuomo. And I'm flattered that News Nation trusts me to do it because I'll do a good job. But I'm not going to put up with any nonsense. And you know, when I was talking to President Trump about doing it. He's busy guy. And I said, look, I hate to put the arm on you here, because I do. I never asked the president for anything ever. I said, but this is. This is going to be big, all right? It's going to go News Nation, probably CW Network, all of their affiliates, Nextar affiliates, which is, you know, 75% of the country, and then social media all over the place. And, you know, you're going to have not one, but two people asking you questions and the audience, because we'll have cards, I mean, right up your alleyway. And I think this would be a very interesting thing for the country for you to do. And he said, yeah, I didn't have to like, you know. And what I admire about Donald Trump is every day he sits in the Oval Office and answers questions from pinheads, most of whom hate him. Every day he's doing that. Did it yesterday. You ever see Biden do that? Never did it. George W. Bush never did it. Barack Obama never did it. Never did it. And there's Trump every day, and he doesn't like these people. So the town hall is two hours, okay? So on Wednesday evening, April 30, believe me when I tell you I'm there, and I will be a presence, so you will enjoy it. Okay? So we're very happy about that. Now, in his first hundred days in office, President Trump has mentioned Joe Biden 580 times in public remarks or on social media. This is according to NBC News, but I don't doubt it. 580 times. That's six times a day. In his inauguration speech, Donald Trump mentioned Biden 12 times. Secretary Caroline Levitt has mentioned Biden 78 times. So why the obsession with Joe Biden? Right. Interesting question. Because Donald Trump believes that Biden was behind all of the cases against him, the Mar a Lago raid, all of the hell he went through. That's what President Trump believes. Now, do I believe that? Partially. Where's Merrick Garland, the Attorney General under Biden? He's in a witness protection program. Where's he? Boy, he skedaddled fast, didn't he? I think Biden tried his hardest to get Trump and now his payback. I'm pretty sure that analysis is solid, but I think it's very interesting what's happening here. So it's very personal. There's another element to it that I'll tell you about next week. You want an example of Trump's obsession with Biden? Here it is. Go. Do you remember the bunny with Joe Biden? Remember, you Remember when the, when the bunny took Joe Biden out? He's not going to take, he's not taking Trump out anyway. That was a good, that was a beautiful moment when the bunny saved Joe Biden. See Melania's face, like, where's this go? I don't think that was the same bunny, by the way, that what Trump is talking about was that Biden got confused about where to go and sort of the money let him out there. You got to have a sense of humor about these things, right? Okay, let's go to California. So there's a 43 year old Mexican illegal alien named Oscar, Eduardo and Gunano or something like that. Drunk driving, killed two 19 year olds in 2021 Seal beach or in County California, sentenced to 10 years. You're going to let him out in three and a half in California. Why? Killed two 19 year olds in the country. Illegally toxicated behind the ground. Why are you letting them out? There's no reason to let him out. So ice Tom Holman's outraged go. If they don't honor a detainer, we have ICE agents outside that facility to take custody of this individual and deport him. He's been deported several times, which means he's a felon. Reentry the country. Deportation is a felony. Yeah, but there's no mandatory prison time and that's Kate's law. And that's what we should have in this country anyway. After Homan said that Governor Newsom said, oh no, no, we'll turn them over to the feds. But they wouldn't have unless the story was reported. Judging California, William Oric pointed by Barack Obama says Donald Trump can't pause federal money to sanctuary cities. Of course he can. Of course he can. But Oric said no, he can't. Okay, I'm not going to litigate this. All I'm going to tell you is the Supreme Court has got to and they will. But boy, I'd like to see it move a little faster. They've got to issue a ruling saying that you cannot have judges cherry picked to block federal activity. Can't. Now there's jurisdiction. I mean, it's obvious. If the president of the United States believes is a public safety hazard to the American public, as there is by sanctuary cities, there's no doubt about that. He could stop federal money going in. Everybody knows that. But Judge Oreck doesn't care because he is anti Trump and he's using his judgeship to try to hurt the president. Supreme Court's got to stop it. And I believe they will, but let's get on it. Let's do a Garcia update. He's still in El Salvador. He's not in that horrendous prison anymore. He's in someplace else. So the latest is that Kilmar Garcia, 21 years old, there he is. Was caught in a car with a bunch of undocumented aliens in Tennessee. The car is owned by a convicted people smuggler. And this is the guy that the left loves. Garcia. Oh, he's the martyr. I told you this was not going to turn out well for the left. This is a guy, Van Holm, whatever his name is. Senator goes down and all in tv. It's just unbelievable. Oh yeah, we can't do this. Can't do this. So anyway, Tennessee should have charged Garcia, but they didn't. They didn't charge him. Shame on you, Tennessee. So bring him back. Make sure that the judge that hearing, his asylum thing does the right thing and then boot him forever. Venezuela. The FBI says that that country, run by a dictator named Maduro, tried to hurt the United States by actively sending Trend gang members to the United States. They paid for it. Maduro government pay for it.

Sounds like an act of war to me. And they're here and now they're getting deported to El Salvador because you can't send it back to Venezuela because Maduro just let him out again and there's a lot of them. So that's what the FBI says. And I believe it. I believe it absolutely is true. Maduro is a left wing dictator, hates the United States and he didn't do it just to us. He did it to other countries throughout South America, dumped these guys. Peru, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador. Nice, huh? And when they get there, to these countries and to our country, they set up dope dealing, they set up extortion. They're gangster gangsters. Russia attacks Ukraine, talking about bad, bad Vlad, evil Vlad. Okay, so he launches 70 missiles, 140 drones at the capital, Kiev, kills 10 people. At least 90 people hurt. Why? Why Vlad? You're supposed to be negotiating peace, right? Well, Vlad's a mass murderer, that's why. Think back about the people who stuck up for Vlad, by the way. You know who they are. Okay, so Trump is now finally angry at Vlad. Here's what he said on social media. Quote, not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev. Not necessary. Very bad timing. Vladimir, stop. 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the peace deal done. That was yesterday on Truth Social. Okay, that was today. No, it's today, I think, anyway. Trump is also mad at Zelinsky because here's the game Zelensky is playing. Keep this in mind. I am sympathetic to the Ukrainians fighting their freedom. I don't believe that Ukraine provoked the war. I don't believe that Zelensky is an effective president of Ukraine. I think he's a patriot. I think he's a brave man, but I don't think he's qualified to run a country. Here's why. Every time the United States gets close to a deal, Zelensky throws another security thing in. Oh, no, you got to give us this. Oh, no, you got to give us that. And he knows Trump's not going to do that. What he should know is, is Zelensky keeps doing this stuff, that Trump's not going to pay for the war in Ukraine anymore. He's going to say, we'll let Europe hear. That's what he's going to do. So Zelensky should know that once that happens, once Americans weapons and money dries up, they're done. That's what Vlad's counting on. So Vlad says, okay, I'll stop, but I got to keep everything I have, which is 18% of Ukraine. Think you could do a deal? Maybe you cut that down a little bit, and then you say, okay, we'll have elections, whatever. You just want to stop the killing for now. That's what you want to do. But this money from the United States can't keep going in there, and Zelensky's got to know that. So Vlad is the real evil here. But Zelensky doesn't help, and that's where we are, smart life. So the last couple of times that I've flown on commercial, I flew on Delta, and it was good. And I'm tough. I'm a consumer. I pay my money and I don't want any incompetence. Is that unreasonable? They got my life in their hands at 30,000ft. I don't want any disrespect. I don't want any sloppy stuff. So Delta was good. I flew from LaGuardia in New York to Palm Beach. So the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, that is an organization, the acsi, they have ranked the airlines about customer satisfaction. Now, overall customer satisfaction, America has dropped, okay, in the last year. Why? Because they lose the bags, they treat you rudely. The food is terrible. The seats are cramped. The WI fi doesn't work, all of that. So you get on a plane, know that, bring your own food, because you're not going to get decent food on those planes. You're not that kind of thing. All right, so here are the American consumer satisfaction rankings. Consumers like best, number one, Southwest. Hard to believe. Southwest. A tremendous amount of trouble to Delta. Okay, Tied for with Delta is JetBlue. Now, I boycotted JetBlue for the last four years. Maybe they've improved. I have a couple of friends who took them and said it weren't bad. Maybe they've improved. Got to be fair. But JetBlue, I had it with them. Then the next one's Alaska, then American, then United, then Spirit, then Frontier. Okay, that's customer satisfaction. But here's the smart life tip.

If.
Bill O'Reilly
If you are going to fly this summer and you don't have a reservation, you're in trouble. So I would spend this weekend, this upcoming weekend, trying to get where I want to go. Because if you don't do it this weekend, you're going to be in the middle seat or you're not going to have a seat, or you're going to have to change planes eight times because the airlines have cut back and they're, you know, they used to have wide bodies going from New York down to South Florida. Now it's little planes. Yeah, everybody's jammed in. There's not going to be a lot of seats. So smart life, you always got to plan ahead. Can't just say, I'm going to the airport. No. New poll on patriotism among younger Americans. All right, so this is 18 to 29 year olds in the USA. It's taken by Harvard. How ironic. This poll. Okay, first question. Which of the following best describes you? Proud to be an American 41% of the 1829 embarrassed to be an American. 29% neither proud nor embarrassed to be American. They're neutral. 26% Democratic kids, which of the following best describes you? Democrats only proud to be American. 24% who embarrassed to be an American. 54 neither proud nor embarrassed. 21 Republican kids proud to be American. 76% embarrassed. 8% embarrassed or proud. 16. So Republican younger people are much more patriotic than Democratic younger people. Why? Because of the bubble. So if you are a liberal high schooler or college person, then that's all you hear. Because you're not encouraged to go out and listen to me or other people who may bring you another point of view. And it's the same thing on the right. But you have to understand that the availability of information on the left is five times as much on the right. Five times as much if you go into the Internet, social media. Left, left, left, left. Oh, there's a right one. Left, left, left, left. Oh, there's a right one. If you go on tv, you know what this thing is? Tv? It's Fox Newsmax versus everybody else. That's what it is. So these kids hear the stuff, they parrot the stuff. They don't know anything anyway. And I'm sorry I'm being supercilious, word of the day about the kids, but I didn't know anything. When I was early 20s, I didn't know much. I thought I did, but I didn't. It takes study, it takes concentration, takes learning and experience. You know, these kids, they want to be accepted by their peers. And if their peers are all liberal like Harvard, then they're going to be liberal. Because if you're not, you get ostracized. You're not a cool kid. Same thing in high school. If you're in a group and the group sees it this way and you don't see it that way, they boot you. And that's what's going on. But traditional Americans, which covers the Republicans, they are more patriotic. And you can prove that by the military volunteerism. You get many, many more militaries from the traditional families, particularly in south and the Midwest, than you do from the Northeast or California, okay? That's how you can prove that they say in history. April 24, 1971. Probably the biggest anti war protest ever held took place in Washington D.C. 54 years ago. All right, Massive on the. You see the Washington Monument in the background. And it was an amazing display. Here's how CBS News described it.

The rally was peaceful, as promised, and large, as its organizers hoped. Nobody really knows how many people fill these capitol grounds, spilling back down Pennsylvania Avenue. Speakers on this platform have been calling it the largest demonstration in this city's history. And some veteran demonstration watchers edging through the crowd saw other differences.
Ryan Reynolds
More older people.
Bill O'Reilly
One said it's not all the youth culture. There were people in union hats. That was Morton, right? Bruce Morton, a good reporter for cbs. Now, I watched that. I was there. I mean, I wasn't an anti war protester. But here's what happened and I think you'll find this interesting. So remember, that was 54 years ago. Nixon was president. Nixon knew he had to get out of Vietnam because the country had turned against the war. Why did the country turn against the war? And my neighborhood was a perfect example. Levittown, Long island. Okay, I went to college, so I had a deferment. But the guys who didn't go to college, and I knew them, they got drafted. Some of them went to Vietnam. The ones that came back from Vietnam came back screwed up almost all of them. Some were addicted to drugs. Some had psychological damage. None of them were the same. None of them. And we saw that because in Levittown, everybody knew each other. And we played with these guys when we were kids. And then when they get older and they came back, oh, good. It's good to see you back. Good to see you back. And I remember one family, a guy went over and he committed suicide, which is unheard of in Levittown. Unheard of. And I think he was 26, 27 years old. It was like this. So people like me and my family, they didn't like the Vietnam War because it wasn't. I remember my father, who was a naval officer In World War II, he said, you know, I don't believe Lyndon Johnson. And he was right. Lyndon Johnson lied to the American people big time. And he's the big villain. If you read Confronting the President, it was Johnson that got us really deep into Vietnam. JFK would have pulled this out. He had already signed an executive order. It wasn't released because he just did it right before he was assassinated. And Johnson overrode it. Johnson was a real villain. When Nixon got elected, Nixon knew he had to get out, but he didn't want to surrender. Okay, because that would have been like Afghanistan with Biden. But Nixon did get us out eventually of Vietnam. But the folks like me, the working class people, we saw it with our own eyes, the damage. It wasn't theoretical. And then nobody could really explain, you know, it's not going our way. And we're not bombing Hanoi. We're not trying to destroy the North Vietnamese government. We're just letting them do what they want. Pretty much. That's not the way you fight a war. That's not the way World War II is fought. Anyway, that's what happened. And that demonstration, and that led to the counterculture. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. Whole country changed. And fascinating, fascinating part of our history. Okay, we got a final thought about your money that you want to hang around for. We'll be right back. Okay. As a final thought of the day. So every morning I get sent to me concierge members letters, and a lot of them ask me for financial advice and medical advice. I cannot give either. I mean, I guess I could, but it would be so unethical and so irresponsible because I don't know your individual circumstance. So you know my philosophy. You need a good doctor, somebody you can get on the phone. You need a good attorney, somebody who cares about you. And you need a good financial advisor. You would be Shocked about how many millions of Americans don't have any of them. They don't have any of them, all right? And they're defenseless when things go wrong, health wise, money wise, whatever. So what I do with the concierge members when they write me about money is I say, go here, go there, because there are reference points where you can get information, or this is what I am doing. I can tell you, as I did at top of this program, what I am doing that's legitimate, okay? Unless I'm lying about it, which I would never do. But I cannot suggest that you do the same thing, because I'm different than you, right? And I would never suggest that. I would never tell you what to do. And the medical stuff is, you know, this is serious, particularly when you get older. I can't diagnose it. I don't know where to send you. I can tell you which facilities are best for cancer and heart and all of that. I can do that, but I can't say, hey, Dr. Shapiro is a guy you need to see in Tulsa. I don't know. So it's a proactive partnership here that we give you the bigger picture. And I will tell you on occasion, not a lot, what I'm doing, okay, to protect myself and my family or whatever, but we can't be specific. And that gets me back to the point I made earlier in this broadcast. These charlatans on television and radio, and, boy, they make a lot of money and they're telling you to do X, Y and Z. They don't know your circumstance. They don't know how much money you have in a bank. They don't know who the executor of your will is. They don't know what your insurance premiums are, what you can afford. But they just spout this stuff. It drives me nuts. It's so irresponsible. So anyway, we want you to consider premium and concierge membership because we can give you a pathway to get what you need, which when it all boils down to is you need protection. Finance, health, family, legal. That's what you need. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News new column on Sunday. All right. And then next week is going to be big with the 100 days thing. Okay? Thanks again for watching.

Bill begins by addressing current polls indicating a decline in President Trump's approval ratings. He attributes this decline primarily to the fluctuating stock market, emphasizing that economic factors are the main drivers behind public sentiment.
Bill O’Reilly: “There are a bunch of polls today and I'm not going to give them to you because I already did the Reuters poll earlier this week and they all said the same thing, that President Trump's approval rating is dropping. But that's because of the stock market.” ([01:45])
He criticizes media outlets for sensationalizing temporary market downturns, arguing that such portrayals are misleading and not indicative of fundamental issues within the country.
Bill O’Reilly: “The media has seized upon the wild gyrations in the stock market to bash Trump. And who is surprised, all right.” ([05:36])
Using an example from CBS News, Bill rebukes the characterization of market losses as "genuine," asserting that temporary fluctuations should not be overstated by the press.

Bill O’Reilly: “What I admire about Donald Trump is every day he sits in the Oval Office and answers questions from pinheads, most of whom hate him.” ([20:45])
He also touches on Trump's obsession with Joe Biden, suggesting it's driven by personal grudges and political strategy.

He criticizes Governor Newsom’s approach, advocating for stricter enforcement and the reinstatement of mandatory prison times for repeat offenders.
Bill O’Reilly: “That's what we should have in this country anyway. After Homan said that Governor Newsom said, oh no, no, we'll turn them over to the feds.” ([28:00])
Bill emphasizes the need for federal intervention in sanctuary cities, arguing that local jurisdictions should not impede national security and public safety measures.
Bill O’Reilly: “If the president of the United States believes is a public safety hazard to the American public, as there is by sanctuary cities, he could stop federal money going in.” ([30:30])

Bill O’Reilly: “Russia attacks Ukraine, talking about bad, bad Vlad, evil Vlad. Okay, so he launches 70 missiles, 140 drones at the capital, Kiev, kills 10 people.” ([21:20])
Bill critiques Ukrainian President Zelensky, suggesting that his actions hinder peace negotiations and prolong the conflict by continuously demanding more support from the United States.
Bill O’Reilly: “Zelensky keeps doing this stuff, that Trump's not going to pay for the war in Ukraine anymore. He's going to say, we'll let Europe hear.” ([21:50])
