Hey, welcome to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. The day is Wednesday. The date is February 11, 2026. Stand up for your country. The worst thing you can do to me is lie to me. I guess if you hit me with a hammer or shot me in the head, I would be worse. But if you lie to me, and by you, I mean human beings and institutions, whatever it may be, that's it. I have a hard time coming back from that. Now, as a Christian, I'm supposed to forgive, and I do. And somebody said, I'm really sorry about that falsehood. Yeah. But it's always in my mind, you know, because lying is so easy to do and it's so common in our society, but it's just such a deleterious thing. You got to be able to stand up and tell the truth. Now, routinely, both political parties mislead us, and they do it on purpose. They have propaganda arms, you know, all that lies. Well, you can debate one way or the other, but people do lie. Politicians, powerful people, lie. There's no doubt about that. And tonight, we're going to expose a huge lie. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So the Democratic Party is holding up the spending bill, which is expiring Friday at midnight, and the government will have to partially shut down. You know, we do this every two months, right? But here's why they're holding it up, because Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries really want to gut the Homeland Security apparatus and ICE in a specific way. They want to neutralize it so that Homeland Security will have a far more difficult time controlling undocumented migrants already in this country. That is what the Democratic Party wants. Okay, Let me prove it to you. So Schumer and Jeffrey say we're not going to fund Homeland Security. ICE is already funded unless you do the following. No masks for ice. Now that's already been adjudicated in California. Federal judge says ICE agents can wear Masks, two judicial warrants when a migrant is taken into custody. That is impossible. There are 15 million illegal aliens in this country. You couldn't possibly get a judge to sign off on every one of them. No immigration enforcement near hospitals, schools, churches. That means in a city you could not have any enforcement. And finally, agents must wear body cameras. Okay, all right. And there's another one. Is a little murky that any kind of action against migrants must be shared with local authorities, which of course gives the authorities the opportunity to tip off the migrants or the groups involved, which of course they would in the radical left states. All right, so that's what's in play. It's not going to happen. So the Republicans are going to say we're not going to do this. And I don't know if the compromise will be reached. I assume it will be. Okay, so the rational conclusion about all these demands is the Democratic Party doesn't want any enforcement. They just don't. They want amnesty. But that has been the position of the Democratic Party for decades. Amnesty. Anybody here who's not a criminal should allow to stay. But now it's violent criminal. This is the big lie. You ready for the big lie? Here it comes. So the Democrats are saying just 14% of migrants that have been detained by ICE are violent criminals. Roll it. It's not getting rid of the worst of the worst, which by the way, less than 14% have been accused or have been convicted of violent crimes that are that are in holding right now with dhs, with ice. That is misleading in the extreme. And I don't know whether Leslie Marshall knows that or not, but she certainly hasn't done her research. Now that 14% figure comes from a CBS News report that is totally erroneous. Why? Well, here are the non violent crimes that don't fall under the 14%. Drug trafficking and use DWI. All crimes of theft, all crimes of fraud. In addition, child pornography, endangerment and child trafficking are not considered violent crimes. So we told you yesterday that Honduran migrants control the entire drug traffic in San Francisco and parts of Oakland, California. They wouldn't be subject to ICE detention because selling heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl. Not violent crimes, according to Democrats. Not violent. Nope. So the fentanyl guy dies. Ma, it's not violent. See what the fraud is? You see what the big lie is? And people hear this and go, oh, oh, ICE is rounding up just poor farmers, poor hotel workers. 14. But only 14% are violent criminals. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What a lie. Okay, so the federal government, their stat is a little bit different. It says that 60% of all the undocumented people have been detained by Homeland Security have committed some kind of criminal offense. That is probably true. Okay, now a criminal offense could be not showing up for hearing. Could be a lot of things. But if you are here illegally, you have snuck in or overstayed your visa and you commit any crime, any crime, out of here. Right. Okay, so that's what we're dealing with here, a massive deception. And the press picks it up and runs. I don't know how many times I've heard the 14%. Why does CBS report that? I have no idea. But they're so lazy, these people. See, we researched all this. When we heard the 14, we went, no, that can't be possible. And then we come in and it wasn't hard to find the classifications of different kinds of crimes. So this is a huge fraud. So summing up, Democratic Party doesn't want enforcement against undocumented migrants unless they're killers, rapists or people like that. If you're a fentanyl, heroin, cocaine dealer. Ah, come on, they're not gonna bother you. That's the memo. All right, now to foreign money inciting violence inside the usa. We're all over this story and I haven't seen a lot of reporting on it. So yesterday there was a hearing in front of the House Ways and Means Committee about how foreign money coming into radical left groups being used to pay protesters or agitators, better word, to go to places like Minneapolis and cause trouble. Louisiana, Portland, Oregon. So the money comes from a guy named Neville Roy Singham. This is the big guy, lives in China, Shanghai, is a communist and he is raising hundreds of millions of dollars to destabilize the US Government. And joining us now from Washington from. Yeah, Washington is Congressman.

B
Kevin Hearn from Oklahoma, who was a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. What did you learn yesterday in this hearing?
C
Well, thanks. Thanks, Bill, for having me. You know, it's the old saying, follow the money. And we've talked about this for years. We've had the opportunity under the Biden administration and now the Trump administration to refer some 11 cases to the IRS for investigation. This hearing validated this through our witnesses. Even the Democrat witness was caught in a lie about his nonprofit, his foundation being funded by a nonprofit that was funded by a billionaire from Switzerland. So foreign money coming in, motivating these folks to go out and do what they're doing, protesting against ice, trying to break up, you know, what we're trying to do as far as sending people back. As you just alluded to, the Democrats have consistently wanted illegals to be able to stay here. When you look at the vote today, we're having on the SAVE act to say you need to be a legal citizen, you need to show your voter I.D. whenever you go, your I.D. to go vote. We're trying to push back on this narrative that, you know, illegals are going to run this country and the 501C3s that are out there, that have been put forth by these foreign billionaires to, to fund these, these riots, to fund these protests has got to stop. And that's what we're doing. We're investigating every one of them.
B
Okay, but it's not just Democrats. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant could have started revoking 501Cs in October, and he didn't do it and he won't talk about it. Every time you ask him, he runs away. Now, he made some kind of thing last week where he's going to try to get a big investigative unit, but that six months ago and he doesn't seem to be too bullish on, on this thing. President Trump himself asked me for information, I don't know whether you know this or not, which I handed over to him as an American citizen, not as a journalist. But he asked me, he says, give me the names of the 501Cs that are taking Singham's money and the billionaire from Switzerland you mentioned and others are others all over the country, world doing this, many names of them and we'll revoke their 501 CS, which I did. But it doesn't seem to me to be a compelling issue in Congress right now. And most of it's the Democrats fault, but not all.
C
No, you're exactly right. That's why we're having these hearings. We're going to have more to point out the issues. You probably saw the exchange with the Democrat witness yesterday where he was caught in a lie about, again, the funding of his organization. We had great witnesses on the panel that answered all the questions. The Democrats didn't want to talk about anything as far as fraudulent funding with the 501C3s. All they wanted to talk about are tariffs and President Trump's an evil person. Republicans don't care.
B
Right, Right.
C
We'll dig through this and we'll find the information to give Secretary Besson to do do his job over there.
B
Now, as a member of Congress, do you really believe that most of your Democratic peers in the House want to give amnesty to bad foreign nationals? Do you believe they want to do that?
C
No, but they detract from the actual issue because I think when you get from, away from the camera for a political piece, when they look at the policies, they will tell you that this is bad politics. In fact, after, after the hearing, many of the Democrats said, we've got to work on fixing this. This is, this is an atrocity for America. They wouldn't say that at the hearing and on the camera, but behind the scenes, they know this is devastating for, you know, for the freedoms of Americans, all Americans, because it can cut both ways. And that's something that we need to protect. It's our job in Congress. And that's again, what we're having these hearings. You know, and Bill, not just the not for profits, the for profits also we've got sovereign wealth funds that are funding litigation against companies and not paying any taxes on it. Taking the money back to Saudi Arabia and elsewhere to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars. And I've got a bill out there, a third party litigation funding act that goes after these, these particular situations to expose them for what they're doing, which is quite frankly to our financial system, is just as devastating. It's driving up insurance costs for companies and for individuals across America. And we're not trying to stop any of the lawsuits are going on, but we want transparency. We want to make sure that these foreign actors are paying their appropriate taxes. Most are not paying any taxes at all on these big multimillion dollar lawsuits. So there's a whole host of things we need to be looking at when it comes to foreign actors. And both of these are really devastating to the American economy and to the American people.
B
Real briefly, because I want to get to the voting thing when you say they're not paying any taxes on litigation, but most people don't understand what you mean.
C
Yeah, so they create a. They have a sovereign wealth fund. They come in, they call it a capital asset to pre fund a lawsuit. Meaning, like, let's just take a sovereign wealth fund from, you know, the Middle east, they'll come in and set up a fund and call it a capital investment, and then whenever it settles, they'll call it a capital gains. Well, capital gains are not paid by foreign individuals that are not U.S. citizens. So what does it say?
B
They make money here in our capitalistic system, they don't pay taxes, they ship the money back to whatever country they're from.
C
Correct. And even the local sovereign wealth funds, or the wealth funds, the United States that set these up for litigation, they get them classified as capital gains as opposed to ordinary income. And so we're going after.
B
I got it. Okay. It's more of a grift than anything else. Now, I'll go back to your peers on the Democratic side of the aisle in the House. It's inexplicable. They wouldn't want to know who's voting, but they're opposing the SAVE Act. They don't want voter id. Do you believe most of these people on the Democratic side really believe that that's good for the country?
C
Let's go back to the 2020 census when President Trump tried to get a question in there, are you a US Citizen or not? That's where it starts. Who's in the household? Because that's the Apportionment act that determines how many members of Congress you have in each state and where they are. And so that was, you know, contested by Democrats and then ultimately was set aside where we couldn't have their language in there. Now here we are, we're having, first of all, the SAVE act, which says you have to be a US Citizen to vote in our elections, which is the law already. It is the law. And then on top of that is to have an ID like we do in Oklahoma, to identify yourself when you go up to, to cast your vote. Certainly in federal elections, we have that responsibility. We have the opportunity to do that. And that's what we're going to be voting on today.
B
Yeah. And Democrats oppose that. Why?
C
Well, again, they're trying to protect the illegal immigrants in this country because they know that most of those are going to support the Democrats because the Democrats are supporting illegal immigration. And quite frankly, some of the people that are most put out by this or upset by this are the people who've done the legal immigrants immigration the right way. I just sent out a letter yesterday to My staff and others that for the last 25 years we've legalized anywhere between 750,000 and a million people a year going through the system that we've always had. And so it's not that we're against immigration, we're against illegal immigration.
B
Yeah, sure. I mean, the pathway. But you guys should pass a new updated immigration law, that's for sure. You're relying on 1952. Last question. But it's still Bill.
C
It's still, it's still allowing them almost a million people a year to come through the process.
B
Okay, but it needs to be, it needs to be more sharply defined as far as enforcement and penalties. That's what it needs right now. It's all over the place and the states are obviously ignoring it in many, many instances. Last question. Do you believe that these organizations inside the United States or both nonprofit and profit, you believe the Justice Department is going to start to crack down on these people who are absolutely paying agitators to break down our system? Reggie, I just sold my car online. Let's go, Grandpa. Wait, you did? Yep, on Carvana. Just put in the license plate, answered a few questions, got an offer in minutes. Easier than setting up that new digital picture frame. You don't say. Yeah, they're even picking it up tomorrow. Talk about fast.
C
Wow.
B
Way to go. So about that picture frame. Ah, forget about it. Until Carvana makes one, I'm not interested.
A
Car selling made easy on Carvana. Pickup fees may apply.
B
Is that going to happen?
C
Yeah, to my knowledge, the first time since I've been here for almost eight years that we've had a hearing on just this in ways it means to talk about the taxation policy because this is a non issue if the 501C3s are stripped of their. Their non tax status. And so we're going after that direction. There's been obviously very politicized hearings on judiciary and oversight on these. But we're going after it from a tax standpoint, which I think is really brings in the, the Treasury Department. Also from the DOJ standpoint, if treasury is involved, we have a dual attack on these folks doing this that for the first time certainly since in my adult life, we're going to. We're doing things that haven't been done before. So I think we're going to be successful. We have a close working relationship with Secretary Bussent and the President, so we're going to make sure we move forward.
B
All right. If you see the secretary, tell McQuan his program because he's Been disrespectful to us, and that's not good. Anyway, Congressman, we hope you will come back as well when anything significant happens. We really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, an update on Trump Epstein. This is another big lie thing. So we now learn that in 2006, Donald Trump went out of his way to call the police chief in Palm beach, where Mr. Trump was. Michael Ryder. And Epstein lived there, too. Say Epstein was involved in, quote, evil activities. Trump did that as a private citizen. All right, that same year, Epstein was arrested. Two years later, he was convicted of soliciting prostitution. And from a minor, 18 months in a Florida jail. Then he gets out. Epstein does come back to me and starts all over again doing what he did. That's where we are now. The Democrats, as you know, the Trump haters, are trying desperately to link Trump to some kind of crime that Epstein committed. That's what they're truing. And they've been doing it and doing it and doing. In the meantime, they've destroyed the Clintons and a bunch of other people by this campaign. All right, but if you were involved with crimes with Epstein, anybody, not just trump, okay, in 2006, you call police chief and say, hey, you got to get this guy. That makes sense to you. All right, here's the response on cnn, which has been. CNN has been the big, big push on this Trump Epstein thing. Cnn. So they put on a guy yesterday, Dave Min, a congressman from California. Here's what Min said. Donald Trump clearly apparently knew something about what was going on with Epstein and that he was continuing to send girls from Mar A Lago to Epstein's employment. That tells us a lot about what Donald Trump knew and when. And I think that's a smoking gun, honestly. No, that's absurd. And number one, there is no evidence that Trump sent any girl from Mar? A Lago to Epstein's employment. There's no evidence at all. None. Just made it up. Now, who is this guy? Mint? He wants to defund ice. He wants trans men to play against women. And Bortz, he supported Lemon going into the church. He's as radical left as they come. Now CNN selects that guy. They know who he is. To come out and say this garbage. It doesn't make any sense at all. What? Smoking gun for what? The guy calls the cops and says, you better get Epstein. He's evil. And a smoking gun against the guy who calls. It's just so to me, as a journalist who at one time respected cnn, okay, this is just a catastrophe because Remember, while you're watching and listening to me on our radio stations right now, millions of people don't do that. They're not many anymore, but they tune into cnn, they hear this garbage. Okay? One guy who may have a little trouble is Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnick on the Republican side. So Ludnick appeared before a Senate appropriations committee to try to explain why he had lunch with Epstein on the island Epstein owned in 2012, four years after Epstein was convicted of state charges. Roll tape. Of these millions and millions of documents, There may be 10 emails connecting me with him, probably about 10 emails connecting me with him over a 14 year period. I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with that person. Okay? Now, in Lutnik's favor is that with that lunch that's documented, he took his wife and kids. You wouldn't do that if there's some criminality going on. But Ludnick is under some heat. One footnote to this. So we monitored Fox News and CNN to cover this Trump call story yesterday from 7am to 10pm Fox News did not mention it at all. Total blackout. That's so strange. If I had been doing the Factor now, I certainly would have mentioned it. Why didn't they mention it? CNN was all over it. 17 minutes of coverage. So it didn't make a lot of sense to me. But we figured we'd take a look at who else is covering and what they're saying. Okay, Midterms. So I wrote a message, Dan, a midterms that, you know, the Republicans have got a. They got to get in gear. The vote was held tomorrow. Democrats probably win one, probably win the House. But the GOP Grand Old Party has outraged the Democrats in enormously. So GOP right now is $95 million in the bank. Gems have 14 million. That's a huge advantage for the Republican Party because it can buy advertisements on television and social media. They would start probably late September, you know, in the midterm elections. I was surprised by that. 95 million against 14 million. Okay. Bad bunny, the devious rabbit. And I explained to Handy on his radio program how I got all the information about why Bad Bunny actually appeared at the halftime show. Nobody else got it. I did. So we have that on bill o'reilly.com 138 million viewers for Bad Bunny, 125 million for the game. So Bad Bunny, the devious rabbit, outrated the game. Not unusual. Got a lot of publicity. A lot of people not care about football. They wanted to see what he had going on and. And they did. This is interesting. So the Bunny's halftime show made it the fourth most watched behind last year. Kendrick Lamar, Michael Jackson, 93, Usher, 2024. Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother is my final thought. Back in a moment. All right, here's the final thought of the day. If you watch television news, it's all Nancy Guthrie all the time. And it's speculation and it's. I can't watch it, and I don't really have to because I got a staff that's, you know, funneling me hard news. And if it's hard news, I certainly pay attention to it. So why is this story so mesmerizing to so many Americans? Number one is about Mom. Okay? Mom is the core of all families. Number two, there's a celebrity involved. Savannah Guthrie, the Today show lady. And number three, it's a mystery. So you got a nice house in Arizona outside of Tucson, and all of a sudden, lady who lives there, Nancy Guthrie disappears, and nobody knows where she is. And now there's allegedly ransom, and it's a mystery. It's like a TV series. So the Americans are willing to sit there hour after hour after hour, hearing speculation. You get a panel, 18 people, and, oh, well, maybe this happened. That could have happened. Well, I don't know. And then the network send all of their commentators out there, anchors. I mean, I was clicking around last night before I went on Leland's program, and I. I don't get involved with analyzing Nancy Guthrie because that's not what we do here. But I noticed that Jake Tapper was standing next to a cactus, and I had trouble telling them apart. Little jest. Anyway, they're out there, but they don't have anything, so they have to kill. They have to kill airtime to eat it. They don't know what to say. So he says over and over and over and over and over. Now, I went through this. When John F. Kennedy Jr's plane went down Long Island Sound, it was exactly the same thing. So he goes up with his wife and his wife's sister from Jersey. He's trying to get to Martha's Vineyard, and boom, the plane goes down. And nobody knows why or where. There's fog and this and that. Everybody's watching the show, and I'm doing the Factor, and I'm going, we don't know anything. No, no. Yeah. You know, and the segments rated. That means more people would watch than usual. That's what's happened with Nancy Guthrie said all the television shows or new shows coming up People. More people watching. That drove me nuts. I mean, I'm sitting there, and I'm going, what am I supposed to ask these people? They don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. What are we supposed to talk about for eight minutes? Oh, you'll think of something. That was the answer. You'll think of something. I didn't think of something. So I got to the point now, because the Kennedy thing went on and on and on and on. All right? I got to the point where I just tell the audience, look, you know, so many people are interested in this story. We have to do it. And I rack my brains to find creative angles and. And different ways to do it. Couldn't do it. It was just the same old stuff every day. That's what's happening now. One more thing. You know, I feel terrible. I know Savannah a little bit. It's very, very respectful to me. And I think about my own mother, because my mom lived alone for a little while, and somebody coming in and dragging her out of there, and. Oh. And so that emotional attachment is there. And the only thing that we can do if you're religious is pray, you know, and I'll offer mass for the Guthrie family on Sunday. But it is one of these things. So. Thank you very much for watching no spin news tonight. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
Episode: The Democrats' Big Lie, Rep. Kevin Hern Breaks Down China's U.S. Influence, How CNN Spun the 2006 Trump/Epstein Reveal & GOP's Fundraising Lead
Date: February 12, 2026
Host: Bill O'Reilly
Guest: Rep. Kevin Hern (House Ways and Means Committee)
Bill O’Reilly’s February 12, 2026 episode of "No Spin News" focuses on alleged deceptions by the Democratic Party regarding immigration enforcement, explores foreign influence in U.S. domestic activism with Rep. Kevin Hern, dissects media narratives around Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and analyzes current political fundraising trends. O’Reilly maintains his signature combative, skeptical tone, seeking to "expose big lies" and provide analysis "the corporate media won’t touch."

On Tax Evasion by Foreign Entities:
On CNN’s Coverage:
On Cable News and the Guthrie Story:
O'Reilly delivers a sharply opinionated breakdown of current political and media narratives, arguing that both politicians and journalists are misleading the public for ideological gain. He accuses Democrats and segments of the media of deceptive or lazy reporting on immigration, lashes out at foreign-funded activism, challenges the integrity of media figures, and expresses skepticism—leavened with dark humor—about television news’ focus on sensational but unfounded speculation. His style throughout is combative, factual-as-he-sees-it, and occasionally wry, consistent with the brand’s "No Spin" promise.
