1. Introduction

In this episode of Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis, hosted by Bill O'Reilly, listeners are presented with a comprehensive update on current events in America. The episode features news segments, insightful commentary, listener interactions, and an intriguing exploration of the Everglades' hidden dangers.

2. Mike Slater’s News Segment

Timestamp: [00:04] – [02:57]

Mike Slater opens the segment by outlining the key news topics for the day:

• Trump’s NATO Meeting and Critique of CNN:

  President Trump attended a NATO meeting in the Netherlands where he sharply criticized the media, particularly CNN, for their reporting on the American attack on the Fordo nuclear facility in Iran. Trump disputed CNN’s claims that the attack only caused limited damage, asserting that the initial intelligence assessment—which CNN sourced from an anonymous leak—also indicated the potential for immense damage. He stated:

  "Nobody's watching them, so they're wasting a lot of time, wasting my time."
  [00:45]

• Senate Parliamentarian and Welfare Benefits for Illegal Aliens:

  Trump highlighted a conversation with Senator Rand Paul regarding the Senate parliamentarian’s decision to exclude the elimination of welfare benefits for illegal aliens from a bill. Paul condemned the parliamentarian's authority to make such policy decisions, describing it as:

  "Unelected person who works in the Senate who has decided that she can decide for the country that we can't eliminate welfare for illegal aliens, which to me is insane."
  [01:30]

• FBI Investigation into Children's Hospitals:

  The FBI is investigating three children’s hospitals—Boston Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles—for performing illegal genital mutilation on girls under the guise of gender-affirming care. This follows President Trump’s executive order aimed at terminating irreversible medical interventions for minors with gender dysphoria:

  "President Trump signed an executive order directing all federal agencies to work towards terminating the ability for children under 18 to receive irreversible medical interventions as a treatment for gender dysphoria."
  [01:55]

• North Carolina Landscaper’s Unauthorized Party:

  A landscaping worker was arrested for hosting an unauthorized party at a homeowner's property while the owners were away. Despite multiple false claims about ownership, he maintained confidence that the homeowners would continue to employ him:

  "I remain confident the owners will still request his work for their Lawn Care."
  [02:30]

3. Bill O’Reilly’s Message of the Day

Timestamp: [03:50] – [07:41]

Bill O’Reilly delves into the controversy surrounding the U.S. bombing mission in Iran:

• Critique of CNN’s Reporting on the Bombing Mission:

  O’Reilly criticizes CNN and MSNBC for their portrayal of the bombing mission's effectiveness, arguing that their reliance on anonymous sources undermines the credibility of their reports:

  "The truth is nobody knows the extent of the damage at the Iranian uranium depot... how could he assess that situation?"
  [04:35]

• Assessment of Damage and Media Reliability:

  He emphasizes that accurate damage assessment is challenging without on-ground intelligence, and thus, media reports like CNN’s are unreliable. O’Reilly asserts:

  "The odds are the US Bombing did inflict tremendous damage on Iran's nuke program. Otherwise, the mullahs would be gloating. They're not. They're frightened."
  [05:10]

• Reflection on Media's Bias:

  O’Reilly accuses the media of being biased, stating their primary motive is profit through negativity towards Trump:

  "They make their money hating or approving of Donald Trump. It's also tedious and it never ends."
  [05:40]

• Future Implications:

  He predicts that evidence of the bombing's impact will eventually emerge, despite current media skepticism:

  "The nuke Damage will someday be assessed. But don't count on the American media to report on that accurately or honestly."
  [06:15]

4. Listener Mail Segment

Timestamp: [05:53] – [08:28]

Bill O’Reilly engages with listener feedback, presenting insights from Robert D. Benedetto of Augusta, Georgia:

• Ceasefire Prospects:

  Benedetto expresses skepticism about the possibility of a lasting ceasefire, likening terrorists to lepers who cannot change their nature. He credits Trump as a peacemaker but doubts the long-term effectiveness of his approach:

  "Terrorists, like lepers, cannot change their spots. I believe President Trump is a peacemaker and is hopeful, but he's fooling himself."
  [05:59]

• Impact of Republican Isolationism:

  Another listener, Doug Halbert from Mesa, Arizona, draws parallels between the current rise of Republican isolationists and the pre-World War II isolationist movements, warning against the pitfalls of such policies:

  "Isolationism never works, as our analysis proves, ever. Particularly in this kind of a world where economic disruption will affect every American."
  [07:10]

5. Special Feature: Dangers of the Everglades

Timestamp: [08:28] – [11:00]

Bill O’Reilly presents an intriguing segment on the hidden perils of the Everglades in South Florida:

• Overview of the Everglades:

  He describes the Everglades as a vast and diverse ecosystem home to numerous species and human inhabitants who live in elevated houses to avoid natural dangers:

  "There are more than two dozen species in the Everglades that can kill you... Alligators, saltwater crocodiles, sharks, feral pigs, poisonous snakes, spiders, panthers, and hundreds of hungry black bears."
  [09:10]

• Threat of Hybrid Pythons:

  The segment highlights an emerging threat from hybrid pythons—resulting from Burmese and Indian pythons mating—which are more lethal than their pure counterparts:

  "They can suffocate a human being in two minutes. Devour an entire deer in an hour."
  [10:00]

• Origins of the Python Problem:

  O’Reilly explains that the introduction of Burmese pythons to the Everglades began when pet owners irresponsibly released their snakes into the wild:

  "Researchers believe there are a half million pythons living in the Glades, some more than 20ft long. It all started when idiots who had a python as a pet dumped the snake in the Everglades."
  [09:50]

[Bill O'Reilly]

Here you are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

[Mike Slater]

Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, June 26, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Fake news, CNN, the Senate parliamentarian, FBI investigates hospitals and a secret party. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Trump was at the NATO meeting in the Netherlands where he ripped most of the media in the room, in particular cnn, for their report that the American attack on Fordo only caused limited damage. Trump and Marco Rubio and Hegseth said that this was from an early intelligence assessment, which CNN says was leaked to them by an anonymous source. But the assessment also said that it could have caused immense damage. CNN didn't report that. Trump said, I just want to thank our pilots. You know, they were maligned, demeaned by fake news, cnn, wasting everyone's time. Nobody's watching them, so they're wasting a lot of time, wasting my time. We've collected additional intelligence and we've also spoken to people who have seen the site. And the site is obliterated. I talked to Rand Paul yesterday on the one big beautiful bill. He said that the Senate parliamentarian took out of the bill any elimination of welfare benefits for illegal aliens. She said it wasn't a monetary issue and only financial changes can be put in the bill, not policy. So she took it out. This unelected parliamentarian made the decision that this is not policy and now it's gone, Rand Paul said. So we basically have an unelected person who works in the Senate who has decided that she can decide for the country that we can't eliminate welfare for illegal aliens, which to me is insane that we allow that to happen. The FBI is investigating three children's hospitals for performing illegal genital mutilation on girls, which is outlawed by federal law. They do it under the guise of gender affirming care. Boston Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado and Children's Hospital Los angeles are the FBI's current targets. Just a few days after taking office, President Trump signed an executive order directing all federal agencies to work towards terminating the ability for children under 18 to receive irreversible medical interventions as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Part of the effort included the the attorney General Pam Bondi issuing a memorandum several weeks later directing Justice Department personnel to enforce 18 U.S. code 116, which is a federal statute that makes female genital mutilation against the law. A North Carolina landscaper was arrested for throwing a party at a house that he was working on when the owners were on vacation. The police say he took it upon himself to invite several hundred people, charge people an entry fee. Neighbors called for noise complaints. Police said they arrived at the house. He said it was his house. Then he told police it was his grandparents house. And then he admitted he was just the lawn guy. He told the local news that he remains confident the owners will still request his work for their Lawn Care. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Thursday, President Trump is lashing out at CNN and MSNBC for saying the US Bombing mission was not the success the administration claims, using anonymous sources. CNN cites intelligence analysts as the source of its dubious reporting. The truth is nobody knows the extent of the damage at the Iranian uranium depot. Say that again. Iranian uranium that.

[Unknown Speaker]

Say it five times.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But nobody knows the damage there. Okay? Not even a president. How could he assess that situation? There are no Americans on the ground near the targets, and the Iranians themselves can't go underground for fear the earth will collapse on them. They wouldn't tell the truth anyway, even if they were down there, which they're not. Satellite pictures show huge surface damage and mountain cave ins looks devastating. But there's no scorecard, so the CNN report is unreliable. No surprise the merchants of malice in the media don't care what's actually true. They make their money hating or approving of Donald Trump. It's also tedious and it never ends. The odds are the US Bombing did inflict tremendous damage on Iran's nuke program. Otherwise the mullahs would be gloating. They're not. They're frightened. So that is the truth. The nuke Damage will someday be assessed. But don't count on the American media to report on that accurately or honestly. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com name.

[Unknown Speaker]

In town if you wish to opine.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Let's go to the mail.

[Unknown Speaker]

We have Robert D. Benedetto, Augusta, Georgia.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Tell me if I'm wrong, Bill, about the ceasefire.

[Unknown Speaker]

I know it's impossible to predict, but I'd like to know what your gut feeling is. Mine's telling me that terrorists, like lepers, cannot change their spots. I believe President Trump is a peacemaker and is hopeful, but he's fooling himself. That kind of analysis gets us nowhere. I don't have gut. Okay, I go on.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Probability.

[Unknown Speaker]

The probability is that, yeah, there'll be some ceasefire violations, but I think that the initial foray against Iran was extremely successful in downgrading that terror nation. Be a lot of unintended consequences to come. I'm not speculating specifically, but at this point, it looks like a victory for the usa. Doug Halbert, Mesa, Arizona. As the drum of Republican isolationists gets louder and louder, I think we can take a lesson from 1938-41. Feels like we're watching a rerun of pre 12-7-41. Do we really want to wait for Pearl harbor to wake us up? Look, there was a very strong isolationist movement, particularly against Germany. Japan wasn't the threat that Hitler was, because Hitler you could see in 39, he's going into Poland, you could see him. Japan was kind of quiet and caught us by surprise. But isolationism never works, as our analysis proves, ever. Particularly in this kind of a world where economic disruption will affect every American.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. The United States is home to some of the most deep, diverse landscapes found anywhere on the planet. But one of the earth's most treacherous places is in South Florida. And we're not talking Miami. We are talking the Everglades, the tropical wetland. 8,000 square miles of rivers, marshes, floodplains, beaches. European settlers, then Americans, tried to drain that swamp for 500 years before giving up. The region is home to 400 species of birds, 100 reptiles, 50 mammals and, of course, a few human beings. Just 400 people live inside Everglades National Park. The folks reside in elevated houses to avoid floods and dangerous creatures. There are more than two dozen species in the Everglades that can kill you. Alligators, saltwater crocodiles, sharks, feral pigs, poisonous snakes, spiders, panthers and hundreds of hungry black bears. To tame the creatures, thousands of bounty hunters stalk the swamp. Florida pays the trappers 15 bucks an hour and $75 for each yard of snake skin. And here's something else you might not know. The most dangerous animal found in the Everglades arrived sometime in the late 20th century. The Burmese python. Researchers believe there are a half million pythons living in the Glades, some more than 20ft long. It all started when idiots who had a python as a pet dumped the snake in the Everglades. And that happened more than once.

[Unknown Speaker]

So they made it.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But today, a new threat is emerging in the Glades. Serpents have mated with another species, forming a deadly predator, so called hybrid pythons. Taken over the animals, a combination of Burmese and Indian pythons are growing in numbers. The snake is faster, heavier, more lethal than its cousin. They can suffocate a human being in two minutes. Devour an entire deer in an hour.
