Bill O'Reilly
Here. Welcome to the no spin news. Tuesday, May 6, 2025 Stand up for your country. I was on News Nation last night with Leland Vitterd and I pounded 60 minutes in the dishonest report about Trump going after some law firms. And you know, I learned something last night. We did this yesterday on the no Spin News and we laid out how 60 Minutes did not report the story, honestly. But you know, nobody cares. I'm telling you. I've come to the conclusion that Americans know the corporate media is corrupt and they're they're not fine with it, but they don't care anymore. They walked away. It's not part of their life. It's not, certainly not as outrageous as I get because I'm in the business, my profession. But I figured this is the most blatant case and we have my appearance on News Nation posted on Billorily.com if you want to see it. It's the most blatant case that I think I've ever seen and yet muted, you know. Okay, so what else is new O'Reilly, you know, and it's not just conservatives, either. It's like the whole country knows, hey, we know we're getting conned. We don't watch anymore, and that's that. So I think that's what's happening. Okay, let's start. There are two big successes for the Trump administration so far. Most of it is not defined. But two things have come on in. You know, the first, that's the border sealed down, okay? Huge success for the Biden, for the Trump administration coming off Biden saying, oh, I can't do anything about it. We have to have a new law, man. And Trump has got that currency. He's got it on his resume. The second success has to do with pricing, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So cost of living is going to make or break the Trump administration. All the other things are important. The deportations, the war in Ukraine, all of that, the tariffs, all of it are important. But it is the cost of living that will make or break the president. And he's got about a year to drive it down. So he goes on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday. And of course, this comes up. Roll the tape.
Kristen Welker
Prices are already going up on some popular items, tires, strollers.
Joe Biden
This is such a dishonest interview. Already. Prices are down on groceries. Prices are down for oil. Prices are down for oil. Energy prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline. And let me tell you, when you have the big thing, what he did, he spent like a stupid person, which he was, but he spent like a very stupid person. And that was bad for inflation. But what really killed us with inflation was the price of energy.
Bill O'Reilly
So I'm talking about Joe Biden, of course. All right, now let's fact check the situation because this is what we do here. All right, so the president is correct that energy prices are down 2.4% from March of this year to under by March of last year. Gasoline is down a substantial 6.3%. Electricity has increased 0.9%. All right, those are in stone facts. Okay, now food, let's go to groceries. All right, Vegetables are down. Processed vegetables are down. Sugar and sweets up. Ham, those kinds of meats down. Milk and seafood down. Beef and veal up. So the cost of groceries rose an average of 0.4 in March, negligible. Okay. And you can go in. And I, I went to Uncle Giuseppe's last night, I swear to God, and everybody knew me, but I went in to check. I got some stuff. And, and I'M looking around and some of the prices are up and some of them are down. So I buy the stuff that's going down. All right, I bought a bunch of seafood stuff. Anyway, you do what you want. But it's my job to tell you that groceries are pretty much flat when you, you know, up, some are down, but they're not going up, as Kristen Welker said. Okay, the final thing is There is a 14% drop, all right, in retail gas. That's what Trump was talking about. And that's a lot. Okay? So that hits you right in your pocketbook. 14% down. Now, you know, you're not going to get that reportage from NBC News or they're not going to do it because that looks, makes Trump look good. And the reason that the energy prices are down is because the regulations, he took all the Biden regulations, all the green stuff away. So it's easier and quicker to get the gas from the oil refineries to the gas station in your, in your home, in your town, okay? And that drives the cost down. When transportation becomes less, we still have to deal with sky high insurance. That is a major problem. And I have not heard President Trump address it, but it's a major problem for everybody. So that, that's still there, but, you know, for 100 days on the right track. Would that be fair? I think so. But, you know, again, you're going to know that nobody's going to report that. And that is the sin of it. And that is the memo. Now, there's a new tariff on movies. Okay, let me just set this up. In a general sense, the movie industry has collapsed in the United States. There are a bunch of reasons for it, but it is too expensive to make movies in California, in Los Angeles. So a lot of the movies now go to Canada. Vancouver, there's a big set there. Georgia, okay, they go there. That's where we shot killing Reagan. We shot killing Jesus in Morocco, okay, because of costs and it drives a car. So Trump says, no, I'm going to put a tariff. If you, if you put, if you shoot a movie overseas, okay, here's the proclamation on truth Social. Quote, the movie industry is dying very fast. Death. Other countries are offering sorts of incentives to draw filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, many other areas within the USA are being devastated. It's a concerted effort by other nations and therefore national security threat. It is in the Department of Commerce. It is, I'm sorry, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda. Therefore, I'm authorizing the Department of Commerce in the United States Trade Representative to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any and all movies coming into our country that were produced in foreign lands.
Randy Greenberg
We.
Bill O'Reilly
We want movies made in America again, unquote. Now, I don't know how you do that because some movies are made partially overseas and partially here, but I'll give you a list of things that you obviously probably know. White Lotus. You know that HBO show was pretty successful. Season one film, Hawaii. That's usa. Season two, Italy. Season three, Thailand and Lord of the Rings, New Zealand. You remember that beautiful scenery there. Braveheart. Mel Gibson, Scotland and Ireland. Did you know that Fast Growing Trees is the biggest online nursery in the USA with thousands of different plants and more than 2 million happy customers. They have all the plants your yard needs, like fruit trees, privacy trees, shrubs, and much more. Whatever plants you're interested in, Fast Growing Trees has you covered.

Remember the sound of Music way back, that was all in Austria and Wicket was filmed primarily in the United Kingdom. So I don't know what you do here or how you enforce it, but here's something interesting. Governor Newsom of California is supporting this. All right, Because California has lost billions of dollars in movie revenue. Joining us now from Los Angeles is Randy Greenberg, who is a producer of films the Meg Meg 2. He also an instructor at UCLA on the business of entertainment. Can you figure this out? I mean, what are they going to do? Slap a tariff on what, the studio or the ticket prices? How's that going to work?
Mike Slater
Well, thanks, Bill. Thanks for having me on. And it's a pleasure to be here. That's a good question. I mean, you ask all the right questions. Is, you know, the reality is, is like, where does this actually exist? You know, tariffs on good. On goods that come into the country through ports of call is one thing, but this is digitally delivered. And, you know, so how do you do that? I think that, I think the, I think the idea of tariffs is on the entertainment business is, is an interesting idea. I don't think it's workable in any way, shape or form. But I love that the administration's focusing on the entertainment business at the moment. Most of the previous administrations have not focused on it. So the idea of trying to do something to keep production in the United States is great.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, look, I want our digital.
Mike Slater
It's great.
Bill O'Reilly
I want the movie industry to thrive. I think that woke. Killed you. And you know that I, I just think back to the last James Bond movie. You know, I'm a big James Bond fan. I knew Sean Connery, who's a friend, and that last movie was so bad. I mean, I was screaming in the theater and they ruined it because Awoke. But anyway, I think the only way on this tariff deal, number one, I think it's symbolic. I don't think Trump's going to do it because it's far too complicated. But you could slap an extra tariff on a film and you'd have to charge more money for the ticket. Or if it goes straight to HBO or Netflix or anything like that, then you charge hbo, Netflix, who's ever distributing the film, a fee that, that goes to the U.S. treasury. That's the only way I can. I can see it happening.
Mike Slater
I agree with you. But ultimately the consumer is going to pay the price.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. Who is going to get it right.
Mike Slater
Between the eyes or the higher or higher subscription fees. Right. So the consumers, like this is going to go right back to the consumer and which will, you know, and if it's a higher ticket price in theaters, theaters already have an issue. Right. Getting more people to come in. So, you know, you give people a pause like, yeah, ticket price a little higher, you know, already If I wait 17 to 45 days I can see it on streaming. You know, I'm already paying for that platform already, so I'll just wait.
Bill O'Reilly
No, there's no doubt about it. But it will hurt the studios, too, because, you know, the fewer people that go to see the movie in the theaters, the fewer, the less revenue comes into the movie studio and creating a lot of chaos. Now, the. I think, and I could be wrong, there's also a measure because Jon Voight was involved with this. Do you know Jon?
Mike Slater
I don't know John.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. I know him pretty well, and I always like spending time with John. But he's an arch conservative and he doesn't like the liberal Hollywood culture at all. And he talks to President Trump. I know that. And he. This might be a little payback here for Hollywood treating Trump so poorly in financing Kamala Harris's campaign. Most of that money that went into her campaign came out of Hollywood. I just suspect there might be a little payback here. Randy, what do you think?
Mike Slater
You know, look, Bill, I try to stay out of politics. I'm. I'm a producer. I'm a storyteller. My interest is in telling a great story and giving audiences, you know, something to watch that entertains them, takes them away from current issues that they're dealing with, or, you know, they get to dream of going somewhere that they've never been before. That's. As a kid growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, that's what I did. I went to the movie theater all the time, was one of the first AMC multiplexes, and I dreamed I saw productions of movies that were all over the. All over the world.
Bill O'Reilly
Sure, most of us have had that experience, but I think because you live in Los Angeles and you're in the industry, and I don't expect you to say anything one way or the other. You got to do business out there. You know I'm right. You know, there's a little payback here, and. But I don't expect this to come to fruition, but could be wrong. I have been before. I can't really remember when, Randy, but I know I have. And we really appreciate you coming on today. Thank you. All right, Canada Day at the White House, this stuff, I keep telling you, if it's Tuesday and this happens, something else is going to happen on Thursday. All right, so the new prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, throws face up there. I'll tell you about him on a radio. So he was raised at Fort Smith, which is a outpost in the Northwest territory. So Canada, small town guy, 60 years old, has The Liberal Party. And he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, okay, in 1987. That means he's a smart guy. Degree in economics. He worked for Goldman Sachs all over the world. So this is a money man, okay? So he comes to Washington because he has to come to Washington. I've been telling you, United States is not going to buy Canada. We're not going to send troops to Canada. Canada is not going to be the 51st day. All of that is hyperbole, okay? And it has been from day one. And, okay, if I'm the only one who knows it, then I'm lonely. So Carney comes in, flies down from Ottawa, and he says this, go. And you know, the history of Canada and the U.S. is we're stronger when we work together. And there's many opportunities to work together. And I look forward to, you know, addressing some of those issues that we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation. All right? So, you know, it's like they're friends now. I said in the very beginning, Canada and Mexico are going to work out their tower problems. They have to. All right? They need us. We don't need them. Here's President Trump go, well, we'll be.
Joe Biden
Talking about different things. You know, we want to protect our automobile business, and so does Mark, but we want to protect. We want to make the automobiles and we want to, you know, we have a tremendous abundance of energy, more than any country. We have just in Alaska alone. ANWAR has been reopened. Now, ANWAR is probably the largest find.
Bill O'Reilly
Anywhere in the world.
Joe Biden
They say it's larger than Saudi Arabia. I don't know, but it's a lot. But we have tremendous amounts of energy. Other countries don't. We're both lucky in that way.
Bill O'Reilly
All right? So they're going to work it out, okay? And all of this, we're going to take over Greenland, we're going to take over Panama. Stay here. Okay? Watch and listen to me. Now, you would ask, well, why does President Trump do all this? Why? Because he wants his negotiating opponents on the defensive. He wants to throw in uncertainty. That's how he does it. If you read the United States of Trump, that's has been a negotiating posture since he was 22 years old. He never deviates from it. Create chaos on the other side. Say all of this stuff, you don't have to do it. Just say it. But anyway, it's a good thing that Canada and the United States and Mexico in the United States get more problems in Mexico, as I laid out yesterday with the drug cartels, Canada will come around and they will reach some kind of deal, I predict. I would like it to be quicker. Okay. Than it is, but there's this national pride. Carney's got to go back, and he can't be presenting himself as somebody surrendering to Trump. It's the same thing with Sheinbaum in Mexico. I can't let Trump intimidate me. And that's the downside to negotiating aggressively, that if the. If you surrender to that, then your people think that you lost. What Trump is good at doing is win, win. Okay? That's how I negotiate. I have to negotiate a lot of stuff. All right? I run three corporations here, and I always try to get in a. In a situation where everybody wins, some people win more than others. Okay. And then that's into Trump's ego zone. But if everybody wins, a deal is much easier to make.

That'S what I believe will happen now. Former Vice president Mike Pence has staked himself as a conservative ideologue. Not, he's not a bomb thrower like the talk radio guys or anything like that, but he sees himself as a conservative purist. And as we know, Donald Trump is not a conservative purist. He holds some conservative positions because his MAGA base is largely conservative. But. But Pence is doctrinaire. So he goes on cnn. This is interesting. Yesterday, the only reason CNN invites Mike Pence on is to bash Trump. They couldn't care less what Mike Pence has to say. That's why they invite him on. Go. It would stifle American growth, limit prosperity, drive up costs for American consumers. And we ought to be driving again toward that principle of free trade with free nations and standing tough, standing firm on authoritarian regimes like China. So you think he's wrong on tariffs? I do think this version of tariff policy that's broad based, indiscriminate, applies tariffs to friend and foe alike, is not a win for the American people. Okay, but remember, there was no solution put forth by Vice President Pence or anybody else as to how to get that trillion dollar trade imbalance down. And to this day, I don't think Mr. Pence has a solution. He doesn't like the tariffs worldwide. I don't like the tariffs worldwide. Why don't I like them? Because they create instability in the financial marketplaces. So rather than investments and performance, the stock market, the bond market, the dollar and all that is fluctuating around based on what Sri Lanka might do that day, that's instability. All right, but I understand you got to get the trade imbalance down if you want Americans to make more money in the marketplace. This, and I'm not criticizing Mike Pence, but if he's got something that would improve the trade amounts, I'd like to hear it, because I have not. All right. The Department of Homeland Security, this is Christie Noem, says that if you are an undocumented alien, the government will pay for your flight home and give you $1,000 when you get there. Okay, this is the latest, so it's called self deporting. And this is funny. So the Homeland security department has one person who's done this, allegedly one out of 15 million. Apparently the person went from Chicago to Honduras back to Honduras on a free air ticket from US taxpayer and they'll get 1000 bucks when they do something, I don't really know what. Now this is not going to work. Number one, most undocumented are not going to do it because they don't trust anybody, much less the US Government. Number two, although there are some carrots here that you could come back to the USA legally at a later date and that we're not. If you apply for this program, we won't deport you. Okay? Homeland Security won't go after you. So you'll get a notice that you're cooperating and you'll be free from that. But I just don't see it. And nobody knows how much money that it'll cost. So it's 1000 bucks for every migrant once they get back, any airline ticket. Now here's something that's Interesting. Department of Homeland Security says it costs $17,000 on average to arrest, detain, and remove an undocumented immigrant. 17,000 each one. And I think it's way more than that because, remember, when they're living here, if you live in California, another liberal state, you get all kinds of free health and free this and free that, and, you know, okay, but just to get them back to their home country costs 17,000 a head. All right, Ukraine. So Trump is a little fed up with Putin, and I told you this last week. So the first salvo is that the USA is going to send advanced weapons systems defense systems to Ukraine. They're taking the Patriot missile system, some of it from Israel, they're refurbishing it, and they're giving it to Ukraine to stop the drones and the Russian planes. It costs $1 billion to build the Patriot missile system, okay. And it takes 90 military people to run it. I think that means that we'll have U. S. Trainers in the Ukraine training Ukrainians how to run these complicated Patriot missile systems. I think that's a signal that Trump is sending to Putin again. I didn't hear this reported widely, you know, but I think Putin's got it now. She, the Chinese premier and Putin are meeting tomorrow through Saturday in Moscow. The Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. She's going to go nuts in Moscow. There's nothing to do in Moscow. Absolutely nothing to do. How much caviar can you eat? So four days now, those two, what they're going to be talking about is how to continue to weaken the usa. That's what they're beginning to talk about. I don't think she wants a showdown in Ukraine, but I could be wrong. But anyway, they're there. We'll cover. We'll have a good guest on tomorrow. Talking about this is important stuff for every American, you know, it's a dangerous world out there. Smart life. So I wake up this morning and I'm looking at my dopey phone, and on the tech side there is. It comes in, it says motor Vehicles bureau, okay? You have unpaid fees to the New York State Motor Vehicle Bureau. That's what it has on my text. No, I don't. And the MVA doesn't do business like that, okay? They don't have my text number. So it's a scam. And what they wanted me to do is open it, okay? So they get all my personal information access. This is illegal, okay? So that happens. Who do I report it to? There's no agency in New York state that monitors this. I Can report it, call the police. Police are going to go, what do you want us to do about it? We're going to call the FBI office. Who am I going to call? This is someone who's trying to break into my house through my phone. That's what they're trying to do. And you get them, too. And most people open them and boom, they're right into your personal information as soon as you open them. Smart Life. The problem is, is nobody going after these people. There's nowhere to report it, and the scammers know it. And that's why you have billions and bill probably trillions worldwide of theft through the machines. Smart Life. If there is any text that comes to you or an email and you don't know the address, obliterate it right away. Do not open it. Harvard. I'm just opening. I'm just open. Updating you on this. We've covered it fairly and extensively, and you know what the story is. So now, according to Newsmax, I'm going to quote the Newsmax dispatch, okay. A government official in the Trump administration accused Harvard of serious failures in four areas. Antisemitism, racial discrimination, abandonment of rigor and viewpoint diversity. To become eligible for new grants, Harvard would need to enter negotiations with the federal government and prove it has satisfied the administration's demands, unquote. So, as of now, no more federal money rolls into Harvard. Harvard suing federal government. It's going to take some time. That lawsuit is going to take some time, okay? But boom, it's out. And that's the power that Donald Trump has now. He may lose. I don't think he will. I think federal government's got enough on Harvard and say, look around. Send a tax money into an organization like this.

But my name is Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. I was just talking to a friend of mine who said he hasn't been able to follow the news lately. It's been too much.

They could lose. Harvard could win. But it will take forever, this day in history. May 6, 1882. Now I know my history. As you know, best selling nonfiction history author in the world right here. You're looking at him. Okay, I did not know this. So Chester Arthur. Throw Chester's picture up there. Chester was one of the worst presidents ever. Okay? Terrible mustache, New Yorker, never should have been there. He got there because the president died and Garfield. And then he was in. Okay, so he signs on May 6, 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act. One of the most racist things ever. Okay? And it says that very few Chinese laborers can be admitted to the United States. Why? Because California after the Gold rush, okay, the 49ers. I can't remember that. 1849, tens of thousands of Asians, mostly Chinese, came over to work in the camps and in the railway yards, and they drove wages for California workers, Native Americans, down. And it was big trouble, Big, big, big, big trouble between people in California and the immigrants coming from Asia. So Arthur said, okay, no more immigrants if you're Chinese. Now, that held till 1965, that racist act held. And then they had the Immigration and Nationality act, which abolished all of immigration quotas based on race. So there was some Chinese. There were some Chinese admitted afterward, but not that many. But starting in 1965, boom waves came over. You know that. I didn't even know that. Okay, a very important final thought that goes right into your home with your children. So I hope you stick around. We'll be right back. All right, Here is the final thought of the day. So every morning, I take about 45 minutes to an hour to work on concierge members questions. All right? We have a staff for that. And people write in about problems they're having, and we guide them to the solution. That's what we do. And then people have news, questions, and they have questions about many, many things, and we answer those questions, okay? It's a very worthy program. Concierge membership to billoriley.com one of the themes, and I had it again this morning, is that older people say over the age of 60, get in trouble. Somebody does something mean to them, nasty, unfair, and they have no money to right the wrong. They're broken. They're utterly dependent on Social Security, maybe a little bit of a pension. They have the government entitlements that they paid into, and they don't have any other reserve. You are powerless. If that's your circumstance, people can do stuff to you, and you cannot right the wrong because to do that, you have to hire a lawyer. You have to file against the bad person. And if you don't have the money to do it, you're going to get screwed. Now, it's too late for many of the senior citizens. They're not going to get any more money. But here's the scandal in America. Money management is not taught in any public school that I know of. Maybe there's a few accounting courses, but how to handle money is not taught. So kids grow up and they have no blanking idea how to accumulate, save, invest, do anything with money. And if they have ridiculous parents and watch the parents spend all the money, that's what the kids are going to do, okay? There's no guidance, no effort on the part of the public school system in the United States of America to educate citizens about money, which is the most important thing in a capitalist society. If you do not have it, you are defenseless, as I said. Now when I write back to these concierge members who are absolutely screwed. And a lot of it's horrific. You know, people are doing stuff to them. And you can go to small claims court that doesn't cost much. You can go to legal aid. Some of the legal aid stuff is responsible, some of it isn't. That's free advice, legal aid, okay? If you're a vet, you can go to your vfw. You can get the names of veteran doctors and lawyers and things like that who may help you because you've got that similarity in being veterans. There are pathways that I can give you, but in the end, okay, if you are indigent and you can't cover the bills, you're never going to be able to protect yourself, ever. And this makes me so sad, because a lot of these people, good people, they just never paid attention. Yeah, it's their fault, okay, somewhat. But a lot of them are ill. A lot of them got hurt by accidents. A lot of them got swindled out of their money. My friend Billy Joel got swindled out of tens of millions of dollars and he's talented enough to get it back. But most people aren't. So you've got to. If you are a parent or grandparent, you got to sit down with those urchins and you got to talk about money. You have to. I told you this many times, my father said to me, whatever you take home, whether you're shoveling snow, you're babysitting, you're cutting lawns, right, 10% goes in the bank. And I have done that since I'm 12 years old. And then when you get certain amount of money, you can invest it cautiously. Okay. Interest and all that, bonds that pay interest cautiously. And then you're not going to be broke. How many kids know that? Very few. Okay. That is the final thought. And I hope you consider concierge membership because even if you're in bad shape, we can probably alleviate your suffering somewhat. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
