Dot com today and we went over this yesterday and if you aren't a premium or concierge member of billorileigh dot com comma we can't give you transcripts but we do have the shows you can watch we went over how many nonviolent offenses there are because the propaganda is only fourteen percent of foreign nationals that isis right up are violent criminals drug dealers who sell fentanyl not violent child pornographers not violent on and on and on you can steal as much as you want no violence you can run somebody over with your car run somebody over with your car not violent and they know that the democratic party knows that it's a very narrow sliver okay of violent crime that they're talking about fourteen percent murderers rapists you know very serious assaults that kind of thing and i'm sitting there going this is the biggest lie i wrote a message of the day on billo reilly dot com it's the biggest lie in the world and they know it but they justify it as we hate trump so we're going to say anything and no matter what we say is okay because we hate trump final thing if you are interested in accuracy and having facts at your disposal please become a concierge member of billorilly dot com because everything i say right now is transcribed and you get it free so you can build like an archive and then if you are involved with any kind of political debate or you want to convince somebody or your kids are nuts or whatever it may be you've got it there and we back up everything we say so you might consider that so as of now department of homeland security is not going to be funded after tomorrow midnight in minnesota the borders are tom holman says their work is done okay so they're pulling out most of the ice agents and they have arrested four thousand people in minneapolis saint paul metro area four thousand not all of them are violent or fall under that category but that is a lot of people all right so here's what homan said today go we have a lot of work to do across this country to remove public safety risk who shouldn't even be in this country and to deliver on president trump's promise for strong border security mass deportation law enforcement officers drawing down from this surge operation will either return to the duty station or be signed elsewhere a smart move by the trump administration trying to bring down tensions of course walls the governor of minnesota comes right out i want everybody out of here you know if it were me and i'm president i go after walls and fry the mayor of minneapolis you can't do it now you got to wait till the tensions come down but i go after them for insurrection i might not win that if i'm a president justice department might not win it but it's worth the bet it is worth it because these walls he's always vice president this guy and i knew they were going to do this as soon as the trump administration you know and they didn't surrender so much they just said not worth it and i call for very early on a much lighter touch from ice those two people who were killed that was the fault of fry the mayor of minneapolis who as he had provided a cordon of security around the ice agents with local police which he should have that was his sworn duty to do to protect public safety okay those two people would be alive today because the cops would have kept the protesters away physically away from the ice agents so fry did it it's on him okay new poll nbc news about changes to ice here we go twenty two thousand people wow big poll twenty two thousand first question your opinion should the us immigration customs enforcement agency be allowed to continue operating in its current form or be reformed or abolished all adults these are not registered voters these are adults okay continue in its current form twenty nine reformed at forty two abolished twenty nine that was my thirty percent figure that i gave you earlier in the program is thirty percent of americans just don't want anything go ahead i can't i can't even wrap my mind about that democrats continue in the current form to reform fifty abolish forty eight independence continue fourteen reform fifty five abolish thirty one republicans continue in its current form seventy one reform twenty four abolish five okay so there you go big split everybody knows that in america the two political parties couldn't be further apart there's very little detente on anything and there's a lot of hatred now i'm not in that crew okay i don't hate democrats the radical left i don't hate them but i want to see them contained and that means using the law to do it okay so if i have some pretty far out there left wing friends i avoid a lot of the political talk with them although i will mock them if they say something ridiculous and how i mock them is just putting the fact out all right that kind of thing but i'm not a hater but i do recognize a dramatic change in this country where it used to be democratic party were run by you know tip o' neill and people like that jfk the kennedys they were reasonable not anymore because their vision of america is so far from my vision i believe that traditional america led us to become the strongest most prosperous nation in the world they want a totally different they don't want any tradition they want to just do it over that's the rub now i'm going to give you an example of how crazy this is becoming so louisiana is a red state conservative state but the us district court down there has all kinds of judges and one of them appointed by barack obama is named john de gravel a john de gravel as john john lets out four violent foreign nationals from confinement they're horrible people and he lets them out because there they are two men have convictions murder convictions i mean they're all really dangerous guys so here's why they let he let them out they were unlawfully detained says the judge without any plan for deportations or in the reasonable future okay they're dangerous people they're in the country illegally they have committed heinous crimes i'll give you one luis gaston sanchez okay and this guy is now on the street cuban convictions for homicide assault two counts of robbery okay but he's still here because cuba won't take him so how do you put him back there and judge let him out all right that's what traditional americans are up against these judges iran nothing really new other than the department of war has their blueprint now what does that mean so netanyahu is over here every two minutes she comes over this week and there's him and trump and there this chat but why he really came over was to be presented with here's what the military action would look like if the mullahs do not capitulate make a deal lunetanyahu got that briefing he has to come here for it not sending it anywhere i don't know what it is i don't know i mean it's top top top top top secret but it's there it's intact it's in place and i think but i don't know for sure that netanyahu signed off on it i think he'd be foolish not to because it benefits israel the weaker iran becomes so so remember the olympics you know to start a military engagement during the olympics would be unprecedented i don't think the usa is going to do that they're going to wait till the olympics is over but the mullahs okay putin got some interesting information about putin fourier he invaded ukraine on february twenty fourth twenty ten twenty two so it's coming up on four years okay how's it going vlad one point two million russian troops have been killed wounded or missing okay this is a report by the washington post which is now defunct almost a russian oil revenue down fifty percent in january compared to january twenty fifth that's huge money's drying up moscow is experiencing unbelievably cold weather so is ukraine so ground fighting is at a halt too cold to fight too much snow and russian officials have warned putin that a financial crisis could hit by the summer excuse me cold here in new york too all right so putin is right on the edge now what do i mean by that russian people start to starve like cuba going to be a revolution against putin even a secret police will turn on him it's a huge country and he'll lose control of it fast if china when they meet with when she meets with trump in april and trump says look we need you to do what india did stop buying russian oil and we'll produce the oil and give it not give it it will sell it to you because us has a surplus of oil we can sell oil to china would you be smart because china become more dependent on us and then there's this venezuelan oil we can send out anywhere we want so if xi makes that deal putin's done so putin's strutting around the little sob and but it's going south for him mark my words gordie howe you know gordie howe is raise your hand gordy how is one of the best hockey players ever i had the opportunity to meet him when he played for the hartford whalers and i was anchoring the news in hartford connecticut and he was one tough guy boy most of the time played for the detroit red wings and he's an all hall of fame of course so they built a bridge from michigan to canada to make commerce and trade easier now i here's where i disagree with president trump the bridge was paid for by canada one hundred percent okay canada picked up the tab for this bridge five billion dollars and the bridge is ready to go open to traffic trump's holding it up because he doesn't like carney the prime minister of canada and he thinks canada has been jobbing us for a while with trade and all that now i understand that part of it but this looks to be petty if canada paid for the bridge which it did and they want and it's finished now six lane highway between detroit and windsor okay they had an old bridge there and they built a new one let's open it up mister president come on it's only fair it's only right they paid for it and we should open it up now i mail on that if anybody disagrees bill at billorilly dot com bill o'reilly calm final thought on the nancy guthey case in a moment okay so i was on news nation last night on cuomo but cuomo wasn't there so there was a substitute guy jesse and he's good but i was way back in the show which usually i'm not and i don't care one way or the other i'm a mercenary at news nation i mean they hire me and i do the best i can for them so i watched news nation leading up to my appearance seven o' clock guthrie about a half hour eight o' clock guthrie thirty five minutes nine o' clock guthrie every cable station guthrie guthrie guthrie guthrie guthrie because people are interested in it as we said yesterday we mystery savannah gustri is famous mom all right i feel so sorry for the correspondence out there because they got to fill all of this air time and they don't know anything all right so they stand in front of the house and the anchor is going well what do you make of this and whenever you hear an anchor person say what do you make of it whenever you hear that you know the person is too lazy to formulate a question okay never hear me say that i got questions what what are you making at come on an eight year old could do that anyway you got the correspondence out there and oh what about we found a glove and then how does the correspondent know well maybe it was somebody from mexico like maybe it was godzilla you know it's like crazy and the correspondence had got a vamp this is a job they got to fill the time and i'm sitting there going ooh because i know this this is my world for decades live shots explaining but when i did it i had facts i could tell you about the story there's no facts okay oh there's a videotape how many times you seen a videotape thirty five thousand times and they loop it we didn't get it the first thirty four thousand times loop and loop and loop so i feel the pain i was there i never did that though i never did that the closest it came was and i told you this yesterday was when jfk junior's plane went down in the long island sound and it was like what do we say now is there a sea monster i is like what do we do and nobody knew well it could have been maybe a submarine and it's the same thing out in arizona i expect this thing to wrap up you know but boy boy that's a hard job so be sympathetic to the correspondence but the anchors realize that they don't know anything they can't even get a question out all right thank you very much for watching and listening to the no spin news and bill o'reilly we hope you have a very good president's day weekend i'm going to take a lot of naps and i will see you again on monday.
Episode: The SAVE Act Passes the House, Minnesota ICE Surge Ending, ‘Activist Judge’ Frees Violent Illegal Migrants, & Is Putin in Trouble?
Host: Bill O'Reilly
Date: February 13, 2026
In this episode, Bill O’Reilly covers a week filled with what he describes as “chaos by design” in American politics, focusing on the passage of the SAVE Act in the House, developments around ICE activity in Minnesota, a controversial judicial ruling releasing violent migrants, and the geopolitical implications of Russia’s situation vis-à-vis Ukraine and China. O’Reilly’s central theme is the deliberate stoking of governmental dysfunction ahead of the midterms, which he attributes to Democratic strategy. The episode is colored by O’Reilly’s trademark skepticism, combative tone, and recurring appeals to “traditional America.”
(Timestamp: 00:00–07:16)
Senator Mark Kelly’s Legal Victory:
O’Reilly discusses a judge’s decision favoring Sen. Mark Kelly, noting the judge was an Obama appointee with anti-Trump leanings, suggesting ongoing judicial partisanship.
"There are plenty of judges and the one that made this ruling was an Obama appointee that hate Trump and anything to do with Trump, they're going to rule against it." (00:45)
Homeland Security Funding:
Senate fails to advance a Homeland Security funding bill due to Democratic opposition, with O’Reilly accusing them of deliberately sowing chaos going into the midterms and praising Sen. John Fetterman as the “one Democrat” with principle.
SAVE Act: Voter ID Requirements:
The SAVE Act passes the House (218–213, only one Democrat in favor), sparking debate about voter ID laws. O’Reilly complains that opposition is irrational since ID is required for tobacco or alcohol but not for voting in many states.
"Everybody knows that an ID in a situation where there are limits, okay? There are limits. And the limit here is if you're not an American citizen, you can't vote." (02:34)
He cites polling data to argue that Americans, including many Democrats, overwhelmingly support voter ID (83% per Pew in August; 71% per another poll).
Notable Quote:
“If you want to beat the Republicans in November, Democratic party, do it on the issues. Don’t do it backdoor creating all kinds of chaos. It’s bad for the American public.” (01:50)
Critique of Democratic Arguments:
After playing a Democratic perspective on the SAVE Act, O’Reilly dismisses it as “garbage” and reiterates that voter ID is common sense.
"Bull. That's so much garbage I can't even... oh, it's about, oh, the guy hates Trump and the Republican party, okay we got it." (04:37)
(Timestamp: 08:14–17:30)
ICE Surge in Minnesota Winding Down:
ICE is withdrawing after arresting 4,000 migrants in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, following pushback from Minnesota officials. Quotes Tom Homan, former ICE Director, about removing public safety threats.
“We have a lot of work to do across this country to remove public safety risks who shouldn’t even be in this country…” (Quoted by O’Reilly, 10:41)
O’Reilly’s Critique of Local Leadership:
He blames Minneapolis Mayor Fry and Minnesota Governor Walz for not protecting ICE agents, asserting that their failure resulted in deaths and that their resistance may amount to “insurrection.”
“If it were me and I'm president, I go after Walz and Fry…the mayor of Minneapolis. You can't do it now, you’ve got to wait for tensions to come down, but I go after them for insurrection.” (11:40)
(Timestamp: 13:03–15:45)
New NBC Poll:
O’Reilly references an NBC News poll of 22,000 adults on ICE:
Partisan Breakdown:
O'Reilly's Analysis:
He remarks on the stark partisan divide and the rise of Americans who want no immigration enforcement at all (“about 30%”), linking it to broader animosity and ideological shifts.
"There's very little detente on anything and there's a lot of hatred now. I'm not in that crew, okay? I don't hate Democrats. The radical left, I don't hate them but I want to see them contained..." (15:11)
(Timestamp: 17:31–20:05)
Louisiana Judicial Controversy:
O’Reilly details how Judge John deGravelles, an Obama appointee, released four violent foreign nationals—two with murder convictions—because no deportation plan was in place.
"They're dangerous people, they're in the country illegally, they have committed heinous crimes... and judge let them out." (18:31)
Example Case:
Luis Gaston Sanchez, with convictions for homicide and robbery, released since Cuba refuses repatriation.
O’Reilly’s View:
He frames this as the challenge facing "traditional Americans" against an activist judiciary.
(Timestamp: 20:06–25:30)
US Military Posture toward Iran:
Suggests Israeli PM Netanyahu visited the US for military briefings concerning potential action against Iran, hinting at secret preparations but no imminent action during the Olympics.
Putin and Russia’s Troubles:
“Putin’s right on the edge now... Russian people start to starve... there’ll be a revolution against Putin, even the secret police will turn on him... If Xi makes that deal, Putin’s done.” (24:13)
Quote:
“Putin’s strutting around, the little SOB, but it’s going south for him. Mark my words.” (24:57)
(Timestamp: 25:36–27:20)
Bridge Blockade:
Canada completed a $5bn bridge, but President Trump blocks its opening in response to perceived unfair trade practices by Canadian PM Carney.
O’Reilly’s Disagreement:
O’Reilly calls this decision “petty” and urges Trump to open the bridge, since Canada paid for it entirely.
(Timestamp: 27:21–29:56)
Reflection on Media Coverage:
O’Reilly comments on wall-to-wall coverage of the Nancy Guthrie case and the challenges correspondents face filling air time amid little new information.
“You got the correspondents out there and, oh what about, we found a glove and then... maybe it was somebody from Mexico, like maybe it was Godzilla, you know, it's crazy.” (28:45)
Media Critique:
He derides anchors who use lazy filler questions as a signal they’re unprepared.
On Democratic Strategy:
“The Democratic Party strategy now is to create as much chaos in the government as possible going into the midterms... just blow it up, make Trump look like he is incompetent and the government's out of control.” (01:26)
On Voter ID Opposition:
“The SAVE Act... says you have to be an American citizen to vote. Which is already on the books... But [Democrats] don’t want that. Chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos.” (02:37/04:37)
On Partisan Divide Over ICE:
“There's a lot of hatred now... but I do recognize a dramatic change in this country where... the Democratic party were run by... Tip O’Neill and people like that, JFK, the Kennedys—they were reasonable. Not anymore.” (15:11)
On Judicial Activism:
“That's what traditional Americans are up against, these judges...” (18:48)
On Russia:
“Putin’s right on the edge now... If Xi makes that deal, Putin’s done... Mark my words.” (24:13/24:57)
On Media Coverage:
“Whenever you hear an anchor person say ‘what do you make of it,’ you know the person is too lazy to formulate a question... I got questions.” (29:09)
The episode is heavily opinionated, skeptical of Democratic motives, and often combative regarding what O’Reilly sees as judicial activism and media incompetence. He presents himself as a defender of “traditional America,” frequently invoking polling and historical comparisons to back his arguments.
