Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Monday, December 1, 2025. Stand up for your country. Last month of the year, mixed results, 2025, you know, it's, it was tough, but it's not anything compared to what's going to happen next year in 2026. Now tomorrow night on the no Spin News right here, I'm going to lay out what you're likely to see coming your way quickly because December is going to fly by. You know that three and a half weeks before Christmas, that's going to go boom. And then all of a sudden we're in January. Things will change big time in this country next year. And there is a very practical reason why. And you will not hear this analysis anywhere else in this country. So tomorrow I'm going to drop it on you. We're still researching a few things and you know us, we're very methodical in our research. Now this year, we are now again experiencing, I should say a war on Christmas. But it's very different than the one I encountered in 2005. Can you believe I was reporting on the war on Christmas on the O'Reilly Factor 20 years ago? Oh, boy, talk about time flying. It's the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So back then, it was atheists demanding that the words Merry Christmas be banished. A very simple concept, offensive off the chart, horrible violation of the First Amendment, all that. And some of these companies are actually threatening employees. Some department stores said, if you say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, we're going to fire you. No, it did not sit well with me. Here's what I said. November 9, 2005 Go factory investigation segment tonight, as you know, Christmas has become controversial in America. Public displays of the federal holiday are under attack by the aclu, and some department stores even tell employees to avoid saying Merry Christmas. So we decided to look at some retail policies this year. And that was the end of that because I named the stores that were threatening their employees. And you the millions of people who watch me said, we're not shopping there. All of them folded all of them. I remember Target was involved somehow. I think they were a holdout. But they all folded and we won. And I thought that was it. But now, 20, 25, 20 years later, there's a new war on crisis, but it's different. Okay, ready for this? So the far left does not want immigration enforcement in America. I think that is a true statement. They supported the open border of President Biden. They don't like ice. They don't want people held to account. They just don't want any of it. They are using that. And I'm generalizing now, but it's getting pretty common. All right, to say that Christian white men, hello, right here. Are ruining Christmas because we are biased against illegal undocumented aliens. Well, I'm not. I give millions of dollars to help migrants, but I support the immigration laws that we have. They need to be updated, but they need to be enforced. That's my posture. So there is a guy named John PAVLOVITZ, all right, 56 years old, Syracuse, New York. He is not an official minister, but he's attached to theological concerns and he has a empathetic people network. So he writes a column and I'm going to quote briefly from it. Quote. The brutal Yuletide assaults haven't come from atheists or agnostics, not from humanists or Muslims, not from coffee franchises or the liberal media or progressive Christians or the mythical woke mob. The very white conservatives who have been loudly sounding the alarm are incessantly advancing hordes. They're the ones warring with Christmas because they've disregarded their own story. Christmas was a child of Palestinian Jewish parents. I think he means Jesus there desperately fleeing political ordered genocide. Christmas was a dark skinned child born amid the smell of damp straw and animal dung because no human worthy welcome could be found. Unquote. All right, so they're pretty provocative. The white men are the ones attacking Christmas. All right, so we called Mr. Pavlovitz and very politely, because my staff is very polite. They're totally unlike me. Okay, very. And he just basically said, no, we're not Talking to you, O'Reilly. Okay, John, you don't have enough courage to come on and talk to me then, you know, look in the mirror, pal. But don't give me a skin color analysis of Christmas, okay? That's racist and I don't care what color you are. Okay, but it's just racist, flat out racist. In my humble opinion. When you bring skin color in, white Christian men are ruining Christmas because we don't agree with you on immigration enforcement okay, so this is around and Pope Leo, and he doesn't even know what's happening. I guarantee it. You're getting drawn into this thing, and I'm watching that very, very closely by. And hopefully I'm going to try every trick in my bag to get an interview with Pope Leo. I don't think it's going to happen, but I'm going to try. But the progressive left, the Pavlovich of the world, trying to pull him in here to condemn anyone who would uphold immigration law in the United States and who believes that the ICE agents are not terrible people. I don't believe that. I believe they're public servants doing their job. Okay? Now, there are excesses, there are mistakes. Of course, I'd like to see a policy with a footprint that's not quite as dramatic. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes with the deportation judges. Nobody does. That's the key to it all. You know, do they. If they take somebody in, they're not a criminal alien, do the judges allow them to go back to where they were or do they get a deportation order signed? I don't know. Nobody knows. That's the key to the story. Okay, so just for your information, I know you don't care about the guy, but Pavlovitz, he hates Donald Trump. He, you know, he's a very, very stringent progressive and he is trying to whip up a war on Christmas scenario that demonizes people who see it differently than him. That's all. Now, I want to talk to Franklin Graham about this and other. You know, Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son? There he is. He's on TV all the time asking you for money. And I don't. I met him a couple of times, a nice enough guy. And we put in a call to Franklin Graham. This is very strange. He, like Pavlovich, basically told us to get. You know what? It was shocking. If you don't want to do the show, fine. Be respectful and I'll give you a name. Mark Barber, Media relations director for Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax Advantage Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k tax and penalty free with billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau. Can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576 or text Bill to 998-899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text Bill to 998-899.

Hey, it's Sean Spicer reminding you to tune into the Sean Spicer show, everybody, every weeknight right here. You're not going to want to miss our analysis. Whether it's the media, politics, campaigns, the upcoming midterms, Supreme Court rulings, we've got it all covered for you with the best guests in politics, the pundits, the pollsters, members of the House of Representatives, members of the Senate, candidates running for both, and key members of President Trump's administration. You're not going to want to miss it.
- [11:10]
B
Guy was just totally disrespectful to us. And that goes right to Franklin Graham. Okay, so I taking a different look at him now. Samaritan's purse. You know, they're a money machine. They spend a lot of money on television. Graham does. He's there, wants your money, wants my money. I'm not giving him any money because I don't trust him. Now, don't. You can be respectful if Franklin Graham can't take the heat from me, and it wouldn't be that much heat, but I would ask him about the immigration thing because he's an evangelical. That's it. And that's the memo. All right, here's an update on The Afghan shooter, 29 years old. Rahman Nullah, Lakenwall. Okay. Came here as part of a humanitarian patrol that President Biden ordered when we surrendered in Afghanistan back in 2021. Okay, so this guy drove from Washington state, Bellingham to D.C. shot two National Guards people. Andrew Wolf, fighting for his life, age 24. Sarah Beckstrom, dead, murdered, age 20. We don't have funeral arrangements for Sarah Beckstrom, but I hope she receives the same amount of attention as Charlie Kirk did because it's the same thing, you know, this 20 year old national Guardswoman still doing her duty and it's just assassinated. And, you know, so I'm gonna take a special interest in making sure that her legacy is upheld. Now, the Trump administration invited the two families to the White House. Very nice and appropriate. They have said that they're going to have an indefinite pause on all immigration requests from Afghans. Might overdo that, but I understand it. Green cards linked to 19 countries, most of them Muslim, are being reexamined. Nothing wrong with that. Asylum cases approved under the Biden administration are being reviewed. Okay. It's all about public safety. And the final thing is that big meeting tonight in D.C. about Maduro and Venezuela and a whole bunch of stuff. But I know that this will come up as well about how to handle illegal migrants, undocumented migrants who have come from Muslim nations, as Afghanistan is. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Under President Biden, we saw the American dream slip away from any because of record spending, open borders, policies that ignited inflation. But that's all changing. President Trump has laid out a vision to restore American prosperity. And I want you to consider what we have in this vision. So please join me and investment expert Alexander Green for a special event called the Rebirth of the American Dream, where we will reveal Donald Trump's plan to eliminate inflation while supercharging growth. How a new wave of AI could create unprecedented wealth. Details on six specific stocks, the potential to soar in Trump's second term, and a complete roadmap to achieving your own American dream. Plus, everyone who attends gets a chance to claim a free copy of my number one best selling book, Confronting the Presidents. Please visit trumpsamericandream.com now to secure your spot. Let's go to Memphis, Tennessee, Nicetown, very dangerous. Okay. Been there a number of times, right on the Mississippi River. So the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, Republican, asked President Trump to send National Guard to Memphis. Okay, that was in September of this year. The National Guard was to assist a new strike force, crime strike force that was put together, the Memphis Safe Task Force. Why was that needed? Well, Memphis is a very violent town and it shouldn't be. Okay, so it has, According to the FBI, the highest violent crime rate per 100,000 residents in the country. Now, since the Memphis State task Force arrival in September, October, murders in Memphis have fallen 48%. 48% compared to the same days in 2024. And a new poll from the Beacon center of Tennessee asked Tennesseans, okay, do you approve or disapprove President Trump's decision to send the National Guard to Memphis? Overall approval 63%. Disapproved 33 no opinion. 4 Democrats approved. 24 disapproved. 73 no opinion. 2 Republicans approve. 90. Remember, Tennessee is a red state. Disprove 8 no opinion. 3 independents approve 51 disprove 42. Okay, so the folks want the guard, want the task force. And it was done with very little fanfare because the governor asked for it, unlike Illinois and Oregon, where the governors don't want the National Guard or any federal presence controlling the streets. Joining us now is from Memphis is Otis Sanford, political columnist at The Daily Memphian. Mr. Sanford has been covering town for 35 years. I think he knows more about Memphis than anybody. And when I go there next, I'm calling him up for the best barbecue because he knows what he's doing down there. Now, from reading your columns, Mr. Sanford, you don't want the Guard there. Am I wrong?
- [17:38]
E
Well, it's not that I don't want them here, is that they are not really contributing all that much to the crackdown in crime. Governor Bill Lee said in August that they were not needed here in Memphis because crime has been going down in Memphis for the last couple of years. You cited the 40 plus percentage since the task force has been here. Overall, in 2025, it's down. Homicides are down 23% over 24. And it was down 22% in 24 compared to 23. So crime was already going down. All right, but don't necessarily see where the couple of things really impacted this.
- [18:33]
B
That's the same argument they make in Chicago and Oregon and every place the crime was going down. We don't need the National Guard. But when the National Guard is there, and you may be absolutely right, it's a show of force because National Guard doesn't have arrest powers. Okay. But when you combine the task force and the Guard is part of the task force, as you know, and 48% is down on homicide, that's hundreds of people's lives. So even if you didn't say it's vital, no skin off Memphis's back or Tennessee federal government pays, why not have them if lives are being saved? I'm a simple man. That's my simple question.
- [19:20]
E
Well, I mean, you make a good point. And crime is down. There's no question about that. And I have, you know, gone on record as saying that there are a lot of people in Memphis who do appreciate the Guard and the entire task force being here. And really the National Guard is not the big issue here in Memphis. They are escorting police. They are the eyes and ears of the law enforcement that's already here. The big issue here is how the task force, especially ICE agents and border patrol agents are policing the city and really wreaking a little havoc on with law abiding immigrants.
- [20:09]
B
Okay, but that's a separate thing now. All right? It's different departments. I agree. Right. And look, both sides in the ICE debate have points that should be considered. As I said, I think that they should be. And I told this to Tom Holman on worldwide tv. You know, you've got to be a little bit more methodical about this and explain what you're doing. But getting back to the crime situation, and again, correct me if I'm wrong, you know a lot more about your town than I do. It was driven by drug gangs. All right? The violence, you know, it's shocking that a town like Memphis, when there's no reason for it to be so violent, becomes the most dangerous place, according to the FBI. It's shocking. So I think Lee, the governor, did a smart thing by stepping in and saying, look, yeah, we may be driving down the violence a bit, but now we're going to obliterate it and we're going to bring in the National Guard to help. I would have done it. I bet you, Mr. Sanford, if you were governor, you would have considered it, too.
- [21:16]
E
Well, again, the governor did say in August that the National Guard was not needed.
- [21:23]
B
Yeah, but then he asked Trump to send them in.
- [21:25]
E
The gun was going down.
- [21:26]
B
He asked Trump to send them in. So, come on, you can change your mind if you're a politician. It doesn't make.
- [21:33]
E
Well, he did change his mind.
- [21:34]
B
He did. Right. And that's fine.
- [21:37]
E
And of course, he had two senators who helped him change his mind.
- [21:41]
B
You know the game. But if they're right, if people's lives are being saved, we should all celebrate that last word.
- [21:49]
E
I don't disagree with that. And again, people are behaving themselves a little bit more. You know, the crime that is in Memphis is a factor of. Yes, a lot of gang activity.
- [22:03]
B
Yeah, but poverty, look, poverty drives that. But you're never going to solve the poverty problem ever. But you can help it. But not when chaos reigns, not when people are afraid to go out of their houses, kids are afraid to go to school, they get beat up, whatever. Not the way to do it. You need order. Mr. Sanford, thank you very much. We really appreciate you taking the time. Okay. And I'm tying this into the national guard in D.C. and Chicago and Oregon, because the National Guard, what that is, is a symbol. And the drug gangs that cause I'd say 75% of all of this mayhem, they're not going to go up against the Guard. They're not going to. So in order to drive their mayhem and violence down, you need a symbol like that. And then you put other law enforcement.

Oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly Auto Parts around them that do have arrest powers. This is not a PhD strategy. This is just common sense. So Trump figured it out pretty early that this was a way, a dramatic way and a quick way to save lives. I don't know what the opposition, I really can't fathom it. You save 10 lives, it's worth it. And the feds pick up the tab and the poor guards people, they're subjected to all kinds of horror from the progressive left. Okay, back in Washington, as I said, is a meeting tonight, the White House. I will be at the White House on Wednesday, a little Christmas soiree. I'll be there, you know, when I go. I'm not drinking eggnog. I'm reporting and I will report back to you on Thursday. Anyway, Maduro, what this is all about is that under the Biden administration, under Biden, the Department of justice indicted Maduro and a lot of his cohorts on drug charges. That was Biden. And Maduro gave Biden a finger. I don't care what you do. And continued to operate this cartel of the sun, which imports cocaine from Colombia, the country next to it, and then exports out of Venezuela to the usa. And that's why these drug boats are being blown up. Okay, but there's more to it than that. So President Trump, number one, thinks Maduro is a terrorist and he's sending a Don Road doctrine missive to him. You're out, you're gone. Maduro knows he's through. Okay? It's a matter of when, not if. We're not going to put ground troops in Venezuela. That's not going to happen. But there's a no fly zone. What does that mean? He said all airlines all over the world should not fly over Venezuela because something bad might happen to him. So they strangling Maduro, strangling to get him out of there. And there's an economic play too. At one time in 97, I think as late as 1997, Venezuela is the richest country in the Western Hemisphere outside the United States. In Canada now, it's the second poorest next to Haiti because Maduro is destroyed and Chavez before him. But they control an enormous amount of oil. If they had a friendly government to the USA in Venezuela, we would make great oil deals. And that's going to crush Putin. See, all this stuff is. It's intertwined. You'll never get this reporting from the press. Okay, So I expect Maduro to be out of there. I don't know when. And I do not expect the United States with ground troops in, but certainly air power, drones, things like that. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, you know that I did not support his nomination. Washington Post says in an article using anonymous sources that Haig said ordered people in these drug boats to be killed. Here is the quote from the Washington Post. Defense Secretary Pete Haig said gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. Those are anonymous sources. The order was to kill everybody. One of them said a missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel, igniting a blaze from about a stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt. Two survivors clinging to the smoldering wreck. The special operations commander overseeing the September 2nd attack, the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in Western Hemisphere, or the second strike to comply with Hag said instruction. Two people familiar with the matter set. So the Washington Post is accusing Defense Secretary Hegseth of killing everybody in the boat. Even though the boat was destroyed, he didn't have to kill them. Is that true? I don't know. All I know is that this is a flimsy story. However, it should be investigated. Hegseth denies it, and then Trump is sticking up for exit. Of course that's going to happen. But the Senate committee should call in the commander. All right. Who the Washington Post says ordered the second strike to kill the two guys and say to him, what happened? Not Hagseth, not the Washington Post, just that guy. Come on in, tell us what happened. That hard? Not hard. So anonymous sources, it's ridiculous, right? So, of course, the liberal media, CNN and msnbc, they're already convicted. Hegseth already convicted them. Roll of tape. Based on what CNN is reporting, what the Washington Post is reporting, do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that that constitutes a war crime?
- [29:33]
G
It seems to. If that, if that is true, if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that, you know, chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over.
- [29:49]
B
All right, that's just dumb. I mean, I don't know why Kelly is embarrassing himself. He was, of course, part of the six that said don't obey unlawful orders. You know, that was apart from this situation. I don't know why he's doing it. You don't know anything, Senator. You don't know. Now, I'd like to see you interview the commander who blew up the drug boat. I'd like to see that. But you don't know. And all of this BS that you're just dribbling out there doesn't help anything. All right, Thanksgiving. Hope you had a good one. We had a good. We always do a simple, traditional thing here on Long island. And everybody has a good time. I hope you'd have a good time if you're in the air because it was a storm. It's winter coming as a storm. Sunday, 13,000 delays the airports. Thousand 29 cancellations. Saturday, 9,000 delays. 2,000 cancellations. Friday, 5,000 cancel delays. 100 cancellations. Total Thanksgiving flying 20,000. 7,000 delays, cancellations 3,100. It's crazy, isn't it? So I got to go to D.C. as I just mentioned. I'm going to train. I. It's insane to fly to D.C. from New York. I rather hitchhike. So I'm getting on a train and hopefully the train is going to rain. Can get through the rain. I hope they have wipers. This is an interesting story. WBZ TV in Boston is a huge legacy station. And you know me, Boston is my second home. And I. I didn't work at bz, but I worked at the other two stations there. So there's a woman named Catherine Merrill, worked there for 20 years as an anchor person in a morning noon show. She got demoted and she's suing because. And Paramount and cbs because it's a CBS affiliate. Okay? And she's saying that she was demoted from her job because she's white. And that Paramount, cbs, wbz DEI program demanded a quota of people of color. And that's why she got booted, because she's a white woman. Big case. Big case following that case. Okay? So right now, BZ and CBS VAF for it to be thrown out. I don't think the judge is going to do that, but he will rule very shortly on whether the case goes forward, which I think it will. And then there'll be a trial date. Okay? So just so you are aware. Back in a moment. All right, here is the final thought. So AI is going to take over the world. And I'm on it. I'm watching it. And an IQ Avatar Santa. Santa Claus. Iq Avatar Santa Claus discussed confronting evil. Roll the tape.
