Foreign here. Welcome to the no spin news. Monday, October 20, 2025. Stand up for your country. No Kings. I don't think we have a king. If we did, the king would have beheaded a lot of people over the weekend, Right? It was a quick weekend for me. I was upstate New York, trying to get a little foliage thing going on. Foley is so. So this year. But I was tracking the no Kings protest. There was one up in Kingston, New York, right close to the Hudson river. And it was, you know, a decent grad. It's a small town and we were out there and I didn't engage, but I was very curious to what kind of people were there and what the tone of it was. I gotta tell you, I was impressed with the rallies across the country, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. Not impressed politically, because I'm not on the side of the people who hate Trump and think he's the devil and he's Hitler and the country's going down a drain. I don't see it that way at all. I think Trump is divisive. He's not a uniter. He has a vision. He's carrying out the vision. He succeeded in neutralizing Iranian nukes big. Succeeded in getting 20 hostages big. I think he's going to get a deal in Ukraine, just my opinion right now. But I think it's trending in that direction. Oil prices here are coming down, you may know that. They're coming down pretty hard. And food prices, I don't know what's going to happen. So I don't see him as a disaster at all as far as being a technician in the White House. The people who are, I saw, were very emotional about hating Trump. And it's fine. They have a perfect right to hate him. Just don't act out. And they didn't. And that's what impressed me. So here are the numbers. We can't get an accurate assessment of how many people protested on Saturday. The organizers say 7 million. It seems a little high to me. Chicago is a big one. A quarter of a million. D.C. 200,000. New York was kind of a bomb. 100,000. That's not a big protest for New York. Very liberal town, Louisiana. They can't count them because there's not enough police to do it. Louisiana is such a disaster. But arrests, very, very few. 12 in LA, 13 in Denver, Portland, some people trying to destroy the ICE headquarters of them. That was serious, but there weren't a lot of them. Chicago had 15 arrests. So, you know, when you have millions of people out there and you don't have any violence, looting and arrests, that should be applauded because again, dissent is a vital part of a democracy. You've got to be able to dissent even if you don't agree with the offset. And I don't agree with the progressive left at all. I think they have done more harm to this country in, I don't know, 20 years than the Democratic Party did in 100 years. It's a progressive far left that really is damaging this country, in my humble opinion. However, if they want to go out and demonstrate, all right, and it's not hard to get people out. 75 million people voted for Kamala Harris. That's a big pool, okay, to choose from, not hard to mobilize people. And then there were the organizers, the ACLU, a group called Indivisible, that's a Soros funded group. 5501 Movement, move on, American Atheists, Tax fairness, Blue Future, LBQ stuff, Black Struggle organization, Planned Parenthood, Pride at work. You know, I mean, all of these are far left groups, every one of them. And Soros pumped enormous amount of money into those groups, probably more than a billion dollars. So this isn't anything that's unusual. You got huge money behind them. You got 75 million. They didn't like Trump. You got, that's a big crew to choose from. So they got them out there anyway. The criticism of the president, I watched that, my staff watch it too, was general roll the tape. But primarily my, my biggest focus today is ice. What they're doing is unconstitutional. It's not fair. It's terrorism. Okay? So it's like, you know, the country's fascist country now and it's going down a drain and. No, no, no, no. Bill O'Reilly here. I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called the Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom. How the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history. Details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now. I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best performing stocks of our time. So please don't miss this opportunity visit trumpsamericandream.com TrumpsAmericanAndream.com now, one column did catch my attention. It was written by Colby hall, who we like here for Mediaite, which is a website, social media website, which analyzes what's going on in the press. So all the people in the press read it. Here's what Colby wrote about the march. He goes, the marches are virtuous, showed moral clarity when cynicism was easier. But virtue without strategy is performance and performance without follow through is paralysis. The crowd made noise. Now it has to make demands and back them with something more than Saturday's turnout, unquote. And Colby hall joins us now from Brooklyn. So the marshes are virtuous. How do you know?
B
Well, I didn't go, but judging by the people that I know. But what I meant by virtuous is that they were principled, right? They, all of them. To your point? Well, I don't know if all of them, but I think generally you can sort of, I'm sure, like the individuals that were arrested there were. I trust that. I believe in the authorities that arrested them for good reason. You know, you can take a thousand people and there's always going to be two or three nutters. Those nutters don't define the.
A
Yeah, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking. You say the marchers are virtuous. There are a lot of antifas out there. There are a lot of anarchists. They didn't misbehave again, to their credit, on a mass level, there are a lot of people who want communism and socialism. The Bernies, bros. All those people are virtuous.
B
Come on. Well, I'm just gonna echo what you said earlier. I think what they did was patriotic. Right? I mean, in, in as much. And look, I, I don't agree with everything that the sort of organizers put forth, but the right to protest is constitutionally protected. And to your point, like, for the most part, it was peaceful and principled. And I don't know that there was a lot of antique.
A
I'm giving you a hard time because I think you were too general in this column. So the margins are virtuous. They showed moral clarity. So I don't think that letting 15 million foreign nationals into this country as Joe Biden did is moral. I think it's immoral. All right. I think it destroyed you, but.
B
Right.
A
But I don't think, I don't think that watching 4000 mostly African Americans be gunned down in the streets of Chicago is moral at All. Now, these demonstrators, Colby, I would say 90% of them, all right, don't want immigration enforcement and they don't want National Guard to go in and stop mini holocaust in Chicago. They don't want it. How is that moral clarity?
B
I don't think there's a mini holocaust going on in Chicago right now. I think there is crime, absolutely. And it's been a problem, although it's been getting better. It's at a 60 year low. I do think that you're. I agree with you on. The Biden administration failed immeasurably in the way that they handled the border so poorly. And I think that's, you know, he paid the penance of that by. Well, Connor Harris did by not getting elected. I think that was a huge, huge issue. I don't think this protest was about the Biden administration. And I don't even know you had the sound clip of the protester protesting ice. You know, that's a complicated issue. I think that the way that the draconian way that many ICE people, you know, remove people in masks without due process is critical. But I think the authoritarian things that the Trump administration are doing, you know, are, you know, sort of eroding our Constitution. You know, the Posse Combatantis does not allow federal.
A
But the Supreme Court is gonna hear that. They're gonna hear that, and we should let that play out. But these people have already condemned Trump as being immoral, as being a fascist. They've already done it. And then you say they show moral clarity by doing it. I disagree vehemently with that. Let me just patriotically. All right, and that's okay. I mean, this is why we have this program and why we have robust. I don't think that's moral clarity. I think you have to basically take it issue by issue. Now, when I had Tom Holman on and you saw it last Wednesday, I scolded him gently because he was a standup guy for coming on by not giving enough information about the ICE agents and what they do and what they're ordered to do. Because the Homeland Security Department doesn't seem that they think they have an obligation to tell the American people what the deuce is going on. They. They do. They do. Now there I'm 100% with the demonstrators who say, well, we can't have, you know, a system whereby people are snatched up. 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.

Please call 866-326-5576 or text BILL to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text BILL to 998-899. No newspaper is more iconic than the New York Post. So why not start your day with me telling you our best stories? Hi, I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Post Cast. Every weekday morning, I'll break down the headlines that matter to you and the stories you're going to want to talk to your friends about. It's a mix of politics, business, pop culture, basically everything you expect from the New York Post. Ask your smart speaker to play the NYPD Cast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know what the guidelines are there haven't been put out there. I do know that the judges deportation orders there are these left wingers don't want those enforced. The progressive movement does not want to send anybody back. They'll say maybe hardened criminals, but they don't want DUI people sent back. They don't want wife abusers sent back. They don't want them. And that's not moral clarity to me. So I think that the moral high ground is held by the people who want to enforce the law, but they have to do a better job of explaining why they're doing what they're doing. Is that reasonable?
B
I think that's entirely reasonable. And I would go further and I'd say most Americans who look at this, you know, sort of logically and reasonable would say that if you are a hardened criminal or if you've done any serious crime and you're here illegally, you should be deported. Right? Of course, everyone is afforded due process if only to find out you got the right guy, right? Presuming you got the right guy and you know that they did some sort of crime on any scale, you lose the right to be here regardless.
A
Right?
B
I think most people, they need, they.
A
Need to clarify what the 1952 law is and how it's being Enforced. And it's a scandal that we haven't had. We have a woman in Houston. I want to run the sound bite, get your reaction to it. Who had a bunch of friends and they were out protesting against Trump roulette tape. When you see something's wrong, you've got to stand up and do something. You can't just put your head in the sand and hope it goes away. And whether it affects you or your neighbor doesn't matter. You have to stand up for everyone.
B
We're one nation under God.
A
With Lily and justice for all. Well, that's just virtue signaling. Know what that is? It's like, oh, well, what's wrong, lady? What are you objecting to? What exactly is the problem here? And they.
B
Well, that was the essence of my column really, was that the protest was better at putting up social media posts than it was for actually doing any change. Meaning what we have found here, what I sort of found, is that you go on Instagram or TikTok or Twitter and you see all these people putting out photos saying, like, look what I did. I protested.
A
Right.
B
And kind of goes away. So it. I do believe that there's a real concern that there's no organization. These people feel good about themselves because they protested and put up a witty sign and then they go back to normal lives.
A
But you, you would like, you would if you were king. King Colby, I don't think there's ever. There's been a king. There's been a King Canute, but I don't think ever a king. Colby, if you were king, you would want to reverse some of the Trump policies, right?
B
No, I would want a more reasonable sort of approach where there were checks and balances. I think what I would, I would. If I were king, I wouldn't be a king because I'd be for American democracy in the Constitution. And I would ask Congress.
A
All right, but what has Trump done that you would like to see banished?
B
Well, I would like to see due process. 1. I would like to see. I think the government shutdown was, was not a, was a strategic way to, to cut a lot of staff. I mean, under the shutdown, the executive branch, the omd, gets a ton of power, so they've been able to fire and lay off a bunch of government.
A
So you think that it was a contrived shutdown of fire people?
B
I do, I do. I think it was, I think the clever strategic move by, I mean, it was sort of laid out in the Project 2025 and, you know, the cutting of USAD the Doge cuts, all of that stuff sort of fell outside of the realm of what we've.
A
It's. I guess it's possible. But look, say you're Senator John Thune, so you're not a king. I just downgraded you to a senator. So Senator Schumer walks in, he looks at you, and he says, we're going to shut down a government. We're going to, all of us in Congress, all Democrats, unless Republicans agree.
B
To.
A
Provide taxpayer health care for 7 million undocumented people. That's what Schumer did.
B
And he knew, but Schumer knew that.
A
The Republican Party could never do that. Every.
B
Firing. You're oversimplifying a very complicated health care system. Will. Will. People will. Undocumented people. They have to be treated at ers a B. The more you cover people with this health care system. And Obamacare is not great. I will agree with that. But it's better than what came before and should be improved. And neither party has put forth anything to try to improve that. But when you cut that funding, guess who's going to pay more? It's all the other Americans that rely on the Affordable Health Care Act. Right? And those prices are going to go way up. And that's a real problem that the country has to face.
A
Thune and Johnson, the two leaders in Congress, both said to Schumer, we will negotiate this with you. What exactly you just said. But the facts of the matter are, okay, that the Congressional Budget Office estimates if the Republican Party. And Trump said, yeah, okay, well, we'll. We'll let you have an extension of Obamacare that will pay for the health care of 7 million undocumented people that would cost the United States of America. This is CBO number 662 billion over 10 years. The Republican Party is never going to do that in a million years. So the Democrats knew when they came in that this was going to shut it down, Colby. And they did it to make a stand against Trump. And that's the truth.
B
I think. I think you're right to say that this was a protest against Trump because the Democrats are in disarray. It's cliche. This is. They have no power.
A
This is the only thing right. The. And that's what happened.
B
But I will say also, you know, Trump and his allies have been talking about repeal and replace Obamacare for what, 10 years? And they got nothing. And so if Obamacare or the American Health Care act and our American healthcare system is so, so broken and for profit and people are making Billions of dollars off of this. Where is the government responsibility to try to fix it?
A
Listen, I agree. I agree with that 100% that there's gotta be a mix. On a good note, there's gotta be a big summit meeting between both parties to come up with a health care system. That's number one. Fair. Okay? Because we do need to have safety nets for older people and people who are. You have to have them, but not giveaways. You know, look, I reported last week. And how many times have you heard, Colby, how many times you heard, oh, from a Democrat, oh, the federal government doesn't pick up any of the undocumented health bills. How many times have you heard.
B
Too many times. Right.
A
And so we come up with last week, the state of Oregon in Its budget has $1.5 billion.
B
Right.
A
All right. Allotted for health care for undocumented people because they take Medicaid, where the feds match it dollar for dollar and hit it right into the undocumented community. So the Democrats aren't telling the truth there. They're gaming the system. But you're right.
B
I learned that from you on the News Nation town hall. That's right. I learned that from you. Good stuff.
A
So let's have Schumer open the government because the Democrats are the ones that are close. Closed it. And then Thune and Johnson, you set up a summit meeting and you lay out legislation. I think that's the way to go. Last word.
B
I think the Trump administration could be real heroes right now if they put forth a plan, you know, in the way that they saw settled peace, did the impossible by causing a ceasefire and discussing peace in the Middle east. If they could put forth a real health care, health care plan that was better and more affordable to everyone, that's when he would get the Nobel Peace Prize. And so I would encourage.
A
But he's not going to do it. He's not. The Republican Party and President Trump are not going to pay the health bills of undocumented people. They're not.
B
Fine. I mean, so let's have the conversation, but something for it.
A
Okay?
B
We're not going to do anything. We're going to do nothing. Let's. Let's start the dialogue. That's what I think.
A
All right, Colby, we appreciate you taking the time. Thanks. Good debate.
B
Always good to be here.
A
If you guys want to comment on the debate, Bill o'reilly.com bill@billor.com name in town if you wish to appoint. All right. Stephen A. Smith. So he was on the Three Americans broadcast as you Saw. I hope you watched it. If you didn't, it's on. Billorley.com was humongous success. 23 million people accessed the 3American show on the News Nation bands because they have. You can watch it linear. Then you can watch social media, YouTube. 23 million. Staggering. And you know who came up with the three Americans concept, right? Anyway, anyway, Stephen A. Smith is a independent. He calls himself a Democrat, but he's really not, in my opinion. He's an independent guy because he takes each issue and then he gives his opinion on it. It's exactly what I do. All right. And he's been fabulously successful, Stephen A. Unbelievably successful. Okay. He said that Congresswoman Crockett is a phony. That's what he said. And it's true. She's in it for self aggrandizement. A lot like Ocasio Cortez. They want fame and eventually fortune from their government service. My opinion. All right. A guy goes after. Okay, Stephen A. Power politics and the people behind the headlines. Our country's back. We're really back. Candid conversations with the people making the rules and changing the game. Can you see yourself as president one day? I don't think about that. We just had an invasion over our southern border. My husband is in the corner, for the record, pumping his fist right now that you're asking this question. This is real talk with lawmakers, newsmakers and political disruptors. I think Elon support probably fences. More of a Viking. I think I'm more of a ninja.

B
Want to congratulate you.
A
Hey there, it's your buddy, Craig Carton. And if you're like me, you could use a timeout from the chaotic news cycle, a pause from the politics, a break from the bedlam. I'm inviting you to join me every day on the Craig Carton show podcast where we tackle the biggest sporting events of the day and give honest, hot takes on and off the field. Sports talk should be fresh, informative and fun. And that's what we deliver every single day. So. So give your ears a much needification. It's time to tune out the noise and take a break from the non stop news cycle. Subscribe now to the Craig Carton show podcast, available on Apple Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. His name is Bakari Sellers. You may have seen him on cnn. CNN has all these progressives, you know, all the way down the line he goes after in very personal way, this Bakari Sellers. Stephen A. Smith, roll it. I know you stand on the shoulders of strong black men and you are disappointing us every time you continue to chop down those people who are doing that real work. And so, yeah, I think it's necessary that we call that out. I think it's necessary we have that level of accountability, especially right now, while you're approaching appreciating the gaze of those individuals in the White House, the gaze of people like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, but yet, and still you're quiet as a church mouse pissing on cotton when Donald Trump is out here trying to take away our voting rights. Nobody's trying to take away the voting rights of African Americans. That's just bs. There's no evidence of that. You can't make a solid fact based argument. It's happening. You, you know, it's just the usual progressive blather, bilge, B I L G E word of the day. But mentioning my name, I was going, what are you talking about? So we have a foundation here. You, some of you know that Winifred and William O'Reilly Foundation. We give away millions of dollars. Millions. And part of our mandate is to help young blacks who are at risk. So we give a lot of money to various organizations, all right, like Best Friends in Washington. And I've been doing that for 25 years. There's a mentoring group like Big Brothers and Big Sisters. We were involved with the Barack Obama My Brother's Keeper program. I've given a lot of money to Tuskegee College in Alabama, which educates mostly first generation college students. So Sellers gets me and somehow Stephen A. Is wrong to associate with me. And I'm going, what the deuce? I'd like to know what Sellers does for his people, for the black community. What do you do? Donate any money? So it's just a vicious stuff. And all of this comes under the heading of race baiting. If you don't fall into line to the Sharpton's and all these people, they accuse you of being a sellout, all right, or bigot or whatever it may be, that's what they use. It's so cheap and demeaning and yet CNN pays the money to go on, do this stuff that wasn't a CNN clip, but it just makes me horrible. So I told Stephen a suggested to him. I said, look, this guy's jealous of you. That's what this is all about. Nothing to do with Jasmine Crockett. She could stick up for herself. There's a need Bakari Sellers sticking up for. He's just jealous of you because you reach far more African Americans who respect you. That's what I told Stephen. Boy, that made me mad. And Mr. Seller, you want to come on and face to face debate me? You're welcome anytime on this broadcast. But you'll never come on. You know the stones to come on.
B
Air.
A
Bernie. Okay, so as you may know, Bernie Sanders, senator from Vermont and Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez, congressman from New York, went on a tour this whole summer and it was the Fighting Oligarchy tour. And Bernie so far this year has run up about, I don't know, 600,000, $500,000 in private jet fees where oligarchs usually are. A. Bernie, the oligarchs take the private jets. What are you doing taking the private jets? That's a lot of jack. And he's using it, you know, from his political action committee, not paying it. So he was asked about this last May go you and you run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people. Think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line at United? Waiting. You know what? 30,000 people are waiting. That's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. But you're not running for anything now. You're not campaigning for anything. It's you and Ocasio Cortez just floating around saying stuff. You don't need to be on a private jet for that. You can fly right out of Burlington, Vermont, anywhere you want. You don't have to do four or five rallies. You're doing one rally. And I wonder if they're getting paid, by the way, too. By the way, I wonder if they're getting paid for these. I'm going to probably say no, but possible privately run enterprise. Anyway, Air Bernie racking up the private jet fees, being is Paramount, skydance now run CBS laying off 2,000 human beings. 2,000Americans losing their job, cost cutting at not just CBS, but all their enterprises. But all their enterprises are media, showbiz enterprises. That's what CBS is. So it's over. The movie industry, the television industry, if you're in that industry. I tell people, people come up to me all the time and goes, I really don't like my job at wherever. Where can I go? I go. There's nowhere to go. They're all cascading down. As another example, LA Times used to be the dominant media force in California. The Los Angeles Times, legendary paper. It has lost 78% of its circulation in 10 years. 78%. And its publisher says, I don't think they're going to ever make a profit again. They lost 50 million in 24. They're on track to lose another 50 million this year. I usually ask potential criminals to have a seat, but now I'm asking you to join me, Chris Hansen, for my new series, have a Seat with Chris Hansen. Guests each week are fascinating personalities who are grabbing headlines, making waves, or changing our lives for the better. Have a Seat with Chris Hansen. Available wherever you get your podcast. I'm Piers Morgan, the host of the Piers Morgan Uncensored podcast. We do big interviews and we do big debates about whatever's getting people talking. We make news, we make noise, and we make a little bit of trouble, too. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can listen to Piers Morgan Uncensored on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. The guy who owns it is a rich guy. His name isn't here. It should be. No, it is here. Patrick Soon. Sean. Okay? He's a transplant surgeon and businessman. He's a gazillionaire. But he goes, hey, we're losing money. We can't make any money. And the reason the LA Times has declined so dramatically is because it became a left wing newspaper. You can't survive on that. You got to have somebody in the middle and somebody on the right buying your product. That's what Colbert and Kimmel can't figure out. All right, Donald Trump commutes the sentence of George Santos. He was my congressman Here in the 6th district on Long Island. Awful, awful, awful guy. He was convicted of fraud and taken money he shouldn't have taken and all kinds of stuff. Just on and on and on. He got an 87 month, 87 months in the federal penitentiary. Okay, that's a lot. Okay, that's a big sentence. He served three months. And President Trump commuted his sentence, didn't pardon him. Okay, so you still got that on his sheet, but said you can get out of jail. And here's what Santos said, go. And then there's a lot of people.
B
Who were upset with President Biden who.
A
Pardoned his entire family before he left office in an unprecedented move. So pardon me if I'M not paying too much attention to the curl plushing of the outrage of my critics and of the people predominantly on the left who are going to go out there and try to make a big deal deal out of something like this. No, I would not have commuted a sentence at three months. He deserved more than that, and I'll tell you why. He's not a threat to the community. The guy's finished. You got to send a message. You can't be running for office on fraudulent documents. You know, he said he was this, he said it was that. You can't be taking campaign money. You can't be doing it. Probably would have kept him in there for 24 months, two years, then the last year of Trump's turn, I would have let him out. But that's what I would have done, guys. The worst. It's my fault. I didn't check him out. I did not check him out the way I should have. John Bolton pleading not guilty to all kinds of charges. Eight counts of unlawful transmission, 10 counts of unlawful retention. National defense information. Bolton says he didn't do it. Federal government says he did it. I have no idea. Case being adjudicated in Maryland. And this is another example of, you know, Bolton tortured Trump. And okay, Trump goes, look, guys, corrupt. I'm going to get him. You can decide on that. Back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, it is final thought. October 20th, two months before Christmas and all of that. You can save a lot of money by buying your gifts now. So there are sales everywhere because they want to get rid of the autumn stuff and all of that. They want to move out a whole bunch of stuff. And you can give, if you're a premium or concierge member, on our store, we're giving you stuff. We will sell out of a lot of that. So stack it, stack it up, make a list. All right, here's what I want to give. Shelley. It's what I want to give. Seymour. Whoever. Maybe you get a little thing. Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump. Then you look for the discounts. Now, now, now. Because once the closer it gets, they're not going to mark stuff down. Just a cheap garbage they can't move. The premium stuff doesn't get marked, but now you can find it. So final thought, I want you to, you know, be financially solvent. You can save 40% on gift giving if you start early. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News.
