Hope you're having a good time. 2025 stand up for your country song by Elton John. I'm still standing. I don't know how I'm still standing. This was one of the most intense work weeks of my life. So it culminated last night in a town hall on News Nation, which millions of people saw across a bunch of venues, CW radio. It was just an amazing display of distribution and a lot of people watch because President Trump kicked it off with a phone interview. And I interviewed President Trump different than anybody else, and everybody knows that, which is why people tuned in. President was kind enough to give us 25 minutes. And then after that we went over with a bunch of people, James Carville and all of that, and Ronna McDaniel, and on and on and on. It was a balanced panel about what he said and people seem to enjoy it. Now, I was obnoxious, as you know, I've been known to be. I took Carville apart. I'll show you what happened. And I was pretty direct with the president. And I'll show you what happened there, too. But this was on top of a whole bunch of things that I had to do this week in the business world. And I'm going to do a benefit for a Catholic church on Long Island. I can't believe I'm doing it, but how can I say no? I don't. I just can't. So I'm Doing that, and then I'm going to sleep the entire weekend. Talking Points Memo is the town hall on News Nation last night. This was a tough booking. President Trump is very busy and he works hard. He and I, he's three years older than I am, and we have a work ethic. Okay. I take more time off than Donald Trump. Donald Trump only plays golf. He doesn't have any other hobbies. I have a bunch. And as I said, he gave his 25 minutes. And you know, when you hear the clips, just focus in on the difference. If you watch that ABC fiasco on Tuesday, I mean, that went nowhere, got nothing. It just, they just don't get it. They don't know how to interview the man. But anyway, he did, I think, out of friendship to me, give us the 25 minutes on Wednesday evening. Now, we began with the polling, which is, you know, at this point in history because of the stock market, and that's what it's about. And the tariffs not looking good for Donald Trump. Roll the tape. So a series of rough polls this week, and I'm wondering how you process that. Do you. Does it hurt your feelings when you see numbers come in that are not what you'd like them to be? Well, first of all, they're fake polls. And if you take a look at the polls, they interviewed more, and for the most part, they interviewed more Democrats than they did Republicans, which is ridiculous and unfair. And Democrats aren't voting for Trump. And you look at him, John McLaughlin, who's the most respected pollster, said, I'm at 50, 55 and maybe even higher than that. And he said that these polls are largely fake. When you say, am I bothered by it? If I was, I'd be really helped by the fact that in the election, we won in a landslide. We won the popular vote, we won the swing states. We won the district's 27, 50 to about 505. And the election took place just a short while ago, November 5th. I think what's different now, Mr. President of the country, what's different now is the tariffs, and that's what's driving your numbers down, that some people are panicking because the stock market is so up and down, in and out. Would you agree that that has been a perception problem? The tariffs? Yeah, But I'm an honest guy and I. We have to save the country. We were losing $5 billion a day with this man that we had as a president, the auto pen president. Nobody even knows who the president was. We're losing. Think of it. We're losing $5 billion a day and a big chunk of it was from China. Okay, so are the polls fake? Some of them are. McLaughlin is a very good pollster. So I didn't hear what he. I don't think he said that publicly to President Trump, but I know John did meet with him. There's a new poll out today I'm going to give you that is pretty interesting. And it's different than the polls that have him way down. So you can't say to Donald Trump, well, no, the polls are fair. They're not fair. I mean, I've told you, the polling at Fox News is terrible. The polling at npr, pbs, done by Marist College, is disgraceful. It's awful. Okay? Anybody buying that poll is buying a fraud. And this is based on what their poll numbers were, not only for this election last November, but on and on. Okay? They're awful. And whenever you ask Donald Trump about the wobble which is in his administration now, which is the tariffs, he falls back on, he has to do it. He didn't have to do it. As he pointed out later in the interview, no other president took it on in modern times because they knew it was so risky. But he's doing the right thing on paper in a trillion dollar trade deficit here. And that's outrageous. So this is undefined. And that's why some people who once supported the president now a little scared about it. Okay, the second one is also about economics because that is the key. President Trump has succeeded on the border. He succeeded in the deportation area. I believe that he'll succeed overseas. But economically is a big question mark. Roll it. When do you think, though, it's going to turn around economically so that people aren't frightened? Do you have a timeline on it? Yeah, I mean, it's a very fair question. Building plants, building equipment, building so much right now, you probably heard it could be 8 trillion. It could be more than $8 trillion of new investments. Outside in one of my offices, waiting for me is the president and chairman of Eli Lilly. And I had, I just left you take a look. IBM was here today. IBM was here. They're spending billions of dollars. I had some of the biggest, the biggest. Apple, as you know, is spending $500 billion building their plants. And they've already started in the United States. As you know, they built most of them in China. We had the biggest companies in the world. I had a conference here just about an hour and a half ago. And some of the people are still here. They remain. Some of the People are watching your show tonight, but they're spending. It could be a close. I think we're over $8 trillion of new investment. That's unheard of. But the folks don't see it. They don't see it and they do see their statements, stock market statements, bonds and all that every day. And that's the problem. Now, I'm not doubting what the president is saying. I believe that he is going to bring in a lot more investment into the United States. I don't know if the tariffs, the amount of money that's coming in from them is going to override the negatives in the market. No one could tell you that with any certainty. And again, people believe what they want to believe. President Trump believes that this is going to turn the economy upward and he's going to be a very successful president a la Ronald Reagan. That's what he believes. Ronald Reagan believed that he was going to bring down the Soviet Union. Press didn't I rely on physical precious metals like gold and silver to protect my savings.

Donald Trump believes he's going to turn that economy around in a big way, historic way. Okay, now third soundbite. That picture of Zelensky and Trump at the Vatican at the Pope's funeral really affected me personally as A journalist. Very unusual. Roll tape. What were you and Zelensky talking about when you were nose to nose in the Vatican? I was telling him that it's a very good thing if we can produce a deal, that you sign it, because Russia is much bigger and much stronger. Russia is just chugging forward. It's a big, strong country, by the way, not nearly as strong as the United States, because I rebuilt our military in my first term. They gave a lot of it away in Afghanistan, and Afghanistan is one of the reasons the incompetent. We had an incompetent president. Grossly incompetent. He should have never been president, but we had a man that didn't know what the hell he was doing in Afghanistan. Showed the stupidity of our. Our leader and. And the weakness of the military. We have a great military. I knocked out ISIS in three weeks. You got the deal. You got the deal with Zelensky on the minerals. That means the United States is going to have a presence in Ukraine. Is that going to inhibit Putin, do you think? Well, it could, but we. The reason I did that is that we're in for $350 billion or close to it, whereas Europe is only in it for $100 billion. So we get some of our investment back. And then the President went on to say that Europe, the EU nations, NATO nations lent Ukraine the money, and we just gave it to them. So he believes that this mineral deal will bring some of that money back to the usa. Again, that absolutely could happen. No guarantee, but it could. But the real reason that the United States wanted that deal is because it gives us a presence in Ukraine, an economic presence that has to be guarded. Okay? So if Putin sweeps in to our industries there, that opposite, big time. All right? Now, the deal they made is not what it seems to be. You have not been told. So Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, doesn't reimburse the usa, okay. It allows the USA preferential rights to harvest minerals. All right? And they're there, but we don't know exactly where they are, the minerals. And the agreement says that future military assistance to Ukraine will count as an investment. Okay? So there'll be a fund set up, so we'll get reimbursed. What Trump wants to do is he'll give Ukraine the money, but he wants them to pay it back in the form of mineral sales. And I think that's a fairly good deal. All right, so that's what happened. Now, finally, it was a pretty intense interview, and I'll tell you where you can see it all in a moment. So I wanted to use some levity. I want it, you know, because you don't want to, you don't want to leave everybody. All right, roll it. Okay. Stephen A. Smith may run for president, as you know. Do you have any advice for Stephen A. If he, if he launches the run? No. Stephen A. Is, he's a good guy. He's a smart guy. I love watching him. He's got great entertainment skills, which is very important. People watch him. You know, a lot of these Democrats I watch, I say they have no chance. I've been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates. And I will tell you, I'd love to see him run. No, there you go. Now, will he run at this point? No. But who knows? Three and a half years down the road, Trump has opened the door for every populist candidate. So we are very grateful President Trump for giving us the time. I'm not one of these arrogant guys. He goes, hey, I gotta give it. I told the President when I was booking him that this would be very widely watched all over the world. And the numbers support that. And then over the weekend, you get another surge of people who didn't quite understand what was happening. And I'll give you all the details about where you can see it if you missed it on Friday. And this is important, There is a one hour special on News Nation at 8pm Friday. Okay. Tomorrow, me discussing the first hundred days in a historical way. And you'll be very, very surprised. So I hope you watch that. If you miss it on Friday, they're going to run it rerun at 10pm on Sunday. All right, we appreciate News Nation doing that. All right, so after the Trump interview last night, then there was dissent, as there should be. So they brought in James Carville, who hates Donald Trump. Roll the tape. Well, first thing, I would have never started a trade war. Okay, so you're okay with 1 trillion going out? You know, a prosperous nation is always going to buy more from an unprosperous nation. We're always going to buy more T shirts. Let me finish, man. No, no, go ahead. I'm just giving you the rule of trade. We're going to always buy more T shirts from Sri Lanka than Sri Lanka is going to buy more aircraft from us. And the fact that you do have a trade deficit is an indication that you have a prosperous country and you buying things that come apart. Okay, so you're fine with it. You're fine with the trillion dollar and Biden was fine with it. I'm not because he didn't do anything. Well, first of all, I am not fine with starting a trade war. Okay? That is a disaster. What do you do about it if not what Trump is doing? So Trump, what you're. He don't. You don't like what he's doing, what would you do? Because the issue beats you. It's an excellent question. The first thing I would do is I would not extend these billionaire tax cuts and I would not pay for them by clobbering the middle class and the lower middle class by cutting Medicaid expenses of which he said he wasn't going to cut Medicaid. Go watch the budget that's been submitted. It's already got 600. He said he was going to end the war. There's nothing about cutting Medicaid medicated. Did he say I'm not? Did he say or not say? I'm going to end the UK and you know it. Can I? No, you can't. You can't say it's in the budget. There's a Medicaid cut when there isn't. Excuse me for thinking. Why you interrupting me? I am. This is ridiculous. And he does it every night. Can I make a point? Yes, go ahead. He was going to end the Ukraine war on day one. Oh, come on. It's absurd. What did Biden do for four years in there? Nothing. Drive me nuts. You know, they all fall back on that hyperbola, you know, ended on day one and all this. Okay, but you know the Democratic Party, and that's where Carville lives. Of course. Nothing wrong with that. They disseminate every morning. We've gone over this with you, the talking points. And the talking points are that Trump's going to cut Medicaid. That's not true. I have not seen any cut in any proposed bill of Medicaid. And Carville hasn't either, because it doesn't exist. Now, if it does exist, I'm going to report it. And I'm not going to be happy about it because the President said he's not going to cut it. But Carville runs around doing all this stuff and he gets away with it, but not with me. All right, so the raging Cajun got a little raging right back at him. Then it was Congressman Jake Alkin Kloss of Massachusetts. Very liberal. He is a Trump hater. Roll a tape. $4.6 trillion had been wiped off the value of the stock market under President Trump's tenure. Okay? That's people's retirement accounts. That's how they save for their kids college education. That's how they ensure that they have financial freedom as they enter their golden years. Hold on, hold on. Party politics bores me to death. Okay? You guys are champions. On it's not a maggot thing. It's a party. You can't possibly think that within 100 days Donald Trump has wrecked the entire US economy. That's absurd. Nobody would make that statement other than a partisan player. You've got to give. Now, Trump may fail and he knows if he does, his legacy is blown up and he doesn't have a long time. As one of our audience members made the point there's some urgency. But to just say, oh, a trillion dollars is gone when the stock market could go up 5,000 points in two weeks if the trade deals that Trump is saying are going to happen do happen. So let's stay in the real world and let's try to put the party nonsense aside. And I would add, it is nonsense, Congressman. And you know, you're reading off a script. You're bringing in a script that you've said 50 times in the last three days, it's nonsense, Bill. Don't talk and give me about nonsense when I'm out of my district. Talking to small business owners who are laying off their workers, Okay? I am talking to social service providers. What's the unemployment rate in the country, Congressman? What's the unemployment rate in the country? That Donald Trump. What is the unemployment rate in the country? And at the same time, you don't know. Same time as he is adding seven. You don't know what the unemployment rate in the country is. It's 2.4%. He didn't know. It's 4.2%. All of this, who am I going around, Everybody's getting thrown out. I mean, you know, look, and the reason this is so out of control is because nobody does this anymore. You know, when I left THE Factor eight years ago at Fox, it's what we did. And then it disappeared off the face of the earth because the stations, the networks don't want it. It's too hot. And the anchors are afraid nobody's going to confront that guy. And we tried to get him on the no spin news, okay? He would not give us any time, any date, anywhere, nothing. He's afraid to come on this form. And I treat him respectfully. But he can't lie. He can't. I'm not letting him do that. That was the rule on the O'Reilly Factor. That's what Barney Frank got. Don't lie you can have an opinion.

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. It's too crazy. Driving him crazy and he's just checked out. If you feel that way sometimes, too, I think you'll really like our podcast Politics by Faith. We take the main story of the day and we run it through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this? It's amazing, but it's all there. And then God tells us what to do. We don't even have to figure it out. The answers are right there. He gives us the answers. Politics by Faith. Please join us over there. You can listen to it wherever you're listening to this podcast right now. Politics by Faith. But anyway, you don't see that anymore. What you just saw doesn't happen anymore. And that's why, you know, people are bored to death with this. Okay, if you are a premium or concierge member to billorilly.com we have a special 30 minute. We've cut it down the best 30 minutes of the town hall, but it's a firewall. You got to be a premium member. Go to billorilly.com sign up, you get a free book, any book you want. And you can see anything that we have, including that 30 minute thing. That's the best way to see this. Then on Friday, as I mentioned, we have this special coming up, Bill O'Reilly's first 100 Days of Donald Trump. Here's a preview of that. Go. I'll tell you an inside story. So on St. Patrick's Day, I got invited to be in a cabinet meeting down at the Oval Office. Sitting next to me was Musk. So Musk turns to me and he says, how am I doing? And I say, you're doing well. You're right on track because we can't have this kind of unbelievable waste of taxpayer dollars. But the presentation needs to be toned down Elon Musk started by promising he could get rid of $2 trillion. We are now at less than 5% of that. But that's all hyperbole. Look, if you're going to go back and quote Donald Trump or Elon Musk or any of these people about what they say, then what actually happens, you're going to have to do with telethon, all right? You're going to have to do 24 hours straight. That's what these guys do. I'm young, Bill. You're old. I can do it. I'm old. Okay, thanks for pointing that out. But if you don't get it by now, they say anything. Right? But in terms of what matters, to the folks, you would say, okay, the amount that Doge has saved is statistically insignificant. It's like a family of four saving a McDonald's meal over the whole year. No, it's 1,000 bucks ahead right now. That's where it stands. If you believe they're accounting, okay, if I believe anything, it's 1000 bucks ahead. And this is an ongoing. Well, you don't want me to take what they say literally, but then you want me to take all their accounting literally. I don't want you to take anything literally. I'm telling you that we have no factual basis to challenge that accounting, do we? Okay, so we get into everything on Trump's first 100 days, and I think you'll be very interested to see it Friday night, News Nation, 8:00pm Eastern. And if you miss it, then you can get Sunday at 10pm Right. Okay. I'm not going to do the Garcia case because I explained it yesterday. It's a little redundant. Next week, depositions start in Maryland, and then I'll ramp it up. It's an important case to see if the federal government can tie this Garcia guy, who was deported to El Salvador, no criminal record here or there, into MS.13. The tattoo thing's not going to do it. They're not even going to introduce that. But this guy got stopped in Tennessee in a very dubious way, and that is the key to this. Okay? On December 1, 2022, he was caught with eight people undocumented in Tennessee by the highway patrol. They let him all go, which is insane. But he's a people smuggler, this Garcia, I'll tell you. And that's what Ms. 13 does. Drugs, extortion, and people smuggling. Kamala Harris. So she gives a speech last night. Emerge America women's group, San Francisco. You can imagine what that crew is. I don't really know much about Ms. Harris now. I think she's going to run for governor of California, as I said. But here's a taste of what she said last night. Go. Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago? The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you've not seen it. So that scene has been on my mind. Everybody's asking me what you've been thinking about these days. Well, so in the video, for those who haven't seen it, here, those elephants were. And as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer. All right, now, I think there's a cogent point there. The elephants were at the San Diego Zoo. There was an earthquake, 5.2. And they all gather around, as Ms. Harris said, to protect the youngest elephant, who's 7 years old. I'm not sure how we tie this into the Trump administration, but the cliche is the elephant in the room, but these elephants are outside. But I figured I'd give you a little insight into what Kamala Harris's doing. Emerson poll the question would you vote the same way that you did in November? So this is startling. 93% of Kamala Harris voters say yes. 93% and 94% of Trump voters say yes, according to Emerson. So even though there's dissent about the tariffs, a little panic, little fear, 94% now I'm is pretty good. They're getting much better. It's a thousand registered voters they polled. But I thought that was very interesting. Donald Trump tonight beginning the commencement address. University of Alabama Nick Saban, former coach of the Crimson Tide, will be there as well. It should be a nice event. It will be 6:30pm Some of the cables will take it, I'm sure. Tuscaloosa, Alabama So in there, can you imagine Donald Trump giving a commencement at Harvard? Think there's a gulf big FBI demotes agents. Okay, this is a good story. 2020 George Floyd riots. Bunch of FBI agents took a knee. Now let's see the picture. They did this in Washington, D.C. these guys said they did it to be in sympathy with the demonstrators because they didn't want any more trouble, which I think is B.S. i think they, they were putting their politics on display. Well, the people who did that, at least four of them have been demoted by the new FBI chief, Cash Patel. Okay, Long memory. That's five years ago. Amber Ruff. And nobody knows who she is. I didn't. She was hired to give the comedy at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last Saturday. And then they fired her because they find out she's a hater. Okay. They knew that. They fired her because they got a lot of heat. This is the White House correspondence. You know. So she shows up on the View yesterday. Go. People are saying that Trump did a bad job 100 days in. I strongly disagree. This man has done everything he has set out to do. I'm black. I'm terrified. I'm scared for my trans friends and people who we know and love. Our neighbors are disappeared. And that was the goal. And he did it. Yeah. I don't know anybody who's been disappeared. Do you? If anybody out there knows anybody who's disappeared, anybody at all. Bill@billoriley.com billorilly.com and I'll try to find him. Now she's alone. Okay, but what is Disney and abc? That's a news program review. That's under the ABC News banner. Why did they continue to do this? These people are disappeared. They're. They're gone. Okay? Only people are gone are foreign criminals who have hurt people. Ms. Ruffin. But, you know, you don't care. Smart life Rebate apps. This is way out of my league, but I think it's a good thing. So there are apps like Ibotta and Ra Kuten. And when you buy stuff at the grocery store, you go to those apps. Apple app store, Google Play store on a net, ibotta Rakuten. And they'll give you rebates on some of the products. You. All you have to do is send a copy or receipt to the app and you get money. That's pretty good. Smart life, right? So Guani's things. Here's a list of them. Fletch Rewards. Ibotta shop kick checkout 51 Rakuten receipt. Hog upside honey coupons dot com. Okay. So you can get money back. They're going to give you free money. It's worth the time to investigate. All right. This day in history, May 1, 1915. It's a very interesting story. So the British passenger ship Lusitania takes off from New York City and it's going to England, Liverpool, where the Beatles were born. And it floats by Ireland, the southern coast off Cork, and it gets torpedoed by a German U boat. This is 1915 in the middle of World War I. The German ambassador told Americans, hey, if you Take a British ship into the zone, we're going to blow it up. They were up front about it and they did. They blew up The Lusitania. About 1200 people were killed, including 128Americans. Now up to that point, most Americans did not want any involvement in this European war, this World War I. But once they torpedoed the Germans, torpedoed that passenger ship, then public sentiment turned against it. Two years later, US got into the war and Germany lost. Well, what this does, this day in history 110 years ago, shows you the brutality of the German government in World War I. We're not talking Hitler, Nazis. They hadn't come on a scene yet. The German mentality right in the 20th century was off the chart. Brutal. And German Americans are the largest ethnic group in America. So very interesting to know your history that happened. Lusitania. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be back. And we got a final thought. Okay, final thought of the day. I've been saying that the Leland special on Friday is at 8. I was told that, but apparently it's at 9. This drives me absolutely crazy. Right. So I guess it's at nine, but I was told it was eight. Oh, now I'm going to be patient. Not going to lash out. Would like to, but like to lash. I'm not going to lash. So I guess it's 9:00 on Friday. I can't tell you. I sat down, I looked. I'm not going to tell you who told me. He said, what time is this special? 8:00. Okay, so I look like an idiot, but it's 9:00 Friday, 10:00pm Sunday. Now this is actually a good final thought because I don't know, 10 years ago, maybe 15, I would have really gotten angry, yelled, maybe used bad words. But now I'm inside, I'm still a little boiling, but outside, gotta let it go, right? But it happens to all of us, doesn't it? They ask you try to do due diligence, you try to get everything in order, try to be accurate and then somebody misleads you. I don't think they did it on purpose. They're just too lazy to check it out. Oh yeah. No, it's not. Anyway, quite a week, huh? Hope you enjoyed it again. You want to reach me bill@billoriley.com. bill@billoriley.com Name and Town if you wish to opine. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News.
