Sean Spicer (6:05)

There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security and there is no, no need for military troops in our major city. Military service members should be dedicated to real emergencies. The members of the Oregon National Guard, their mission is to stand up and protect Oregonians and they will do that every day. But they are not needed in the city. They are not needed here.

Bill O'Reilly (6:34)

All right, well, I disagree with the governor. I think she's just basically playing politics. But I Could be wrong. I don't think I am based upon what I know is happening in Portland. But she's like Pritzker in Illinois. Never, never going to say, hey, thanks, no, not going to happen. Then we go to Memphis, Tennessee. Totally different story. Governor of Tennessee Bill Lee wants the federal response there because of the violence generated again by drug gangs. Same thing. Chicago. These drug gangs are heavily armed. They'll shoot you down in a heartbeat. Talk about evil confronting evil. You know, my advice to anybody is don't get, don't confront these guys. They'll kill you. Same thing in Mexico with the cartels. So there is a force that is going, a federal force is going in to clean these guys up and they're working with the local Memphis and Tennessee authorities. So 150 National Guard is going to be deployed to Memphis and they're going to be there indefinitely. And again, there is no resistance here. The Tennessee authorities by and large want the feds to help. Now that's not everybody, but it's the majority of people. So there is a poll that says most Americans don't want the military, the National Guard. This is by NPR. To go into the cities by 37% do, 47% don't. I don't trust NPR at all. But I'd say it's 50, 50 in this country because people don't understand the history of it. And let me enlighten everybody now. This is very interesting when. That's why I say you always should watch the no spin news or listen on the radio with a pen and paper. I'm going to give you three examples of presidents that have done what President Trump is doing, which is why President Trump will win in the courts. First one was U.S. grant, 1871. Fascinating. And we write about this in Confronting the Presidents. So Grant takes over for one of the worst presidents, Andrew Johnson. He's the guy who came in after Lincoln was assassinated. And he, Grant was a decent man and he knew the Ku Klux Klan in the south, particularly South Carolina, was just running violent roughshod over blacks. So in 1871, Grant sent federal troops to South Carolina and arrested at least 600 Klansmen and killed a bunch of them. You didn't hear about that, but believe me, they disappear. And it broke the black, the back of the Klan until the 20th century when it resurrected again, Grant knocked it out. There was no outcry from Congress or anybody else. Grant said, look, got to protect American citizens. Just like protect American citizens in Memphis and Chicago. Right? Right. Okay, 1957. President Eisenhower sends 1000 paratroopers. 1000 paratroopers to Arkansas because that state was not enforcing integration in their schools. Okay? So 1,000 paratroopers, full gear, march into Little Rock and say you're going to do what you're told to do by the federal government. And then JFK in 1962 sends troops to the University of Mississippi, James Meredith. Okay. And the next year to the University of Alabama. That was the George Wallace thing. So Grant, Eisenhower, jfk, when they fell, American citizens were being abused than the troops.

Bill O'Reilly (11:52)

That's why Trump will win every court challenge. Oregon is suing Trump. They lose. Now, you'll find the usual crazies. They'll find a judge. The judge will stay. You know how the game plays. But once it goes to the Supreme Court, they keep precedent. Okay, and that's the memo. Couple other things going on. I wrote a column about the indictment of James Comey. I hope you read it on billorily.com because it's fair and it's fact based. Everything I wrote is 100% true and it's fair. I'm telling you the whole story about this guy Comey. No BS in this column. No BS in any of my columns. But this one. I really took my time to be surgical on it. Okay, so Comey is being charged with obstruction of a congressional investigation and lying in front of Congress. Make a false statement. It all has to do with whether Comey ordered or leaked himself stuff about the Russian collusion Hoax, okay? His deputy, McCabe, who now works for CNN, testified that he himself, McCabe himself, leaks stuff, all right? And it's murky about whether Comey knew it, but he had to know it. Comey had to know it, okay? Now McCabe says, well, I don't know if he knew or not. Okay? You know what it is. But in order to convict Comey of obstructing correctional investigation into the Russian collusion and perjury from Congress, you have to have more than McCabe. Now, I'm going to play a couple of soundbites here. The first one is the far left, as they always do, is trying to make Comey remember, this is the man that embraced the phony Russian collusion thing, got false warrants based upon false information, FISA warrants. He did all of this stuff. That's not debatable. Yet the far left, Eric Swalwell, representative from California, trying to make him into a martyr. Roll it.

Eric Swalwell (clip) (14:13)

It's an awful day for what's supposed to be a free country. This is a mad king picking off each of his political enemies. And I have to say, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, we're not helpless. And it's really a time to ask ourselves in Congress, will we shrink or will we stand up to him?

Bill O'Reilly (14:35)

Well, in a Judiciary Committee, I could do anything. It's run by Republicans. So Swallow can run around, scream all he wants. Nothing's going to happen there. Now, this all has to do with Comey, as I said, testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 30, 2020 five years ago. Roll a tape.

James Comey (clip) (14:59)

Now, as you know, Mr. McCabe, who works for you, has publicly and repeatedly stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal and that you were directly aware of it and that you directly authorized it. Now, what Mr. McCabe is saying and what you testified to this committee cannot both be true. One or the other is false. Who's telling the truth?

Bill O'Reilly (15:25)

I can only speak to my testimony.

Eric Swalwell (clip) (15:27)

I stand by what the testimony you.

Bill O'Reilly (15:29)

Summarized that I gave in May of 2017. All right, so Comey continues to deny. Now, here's something interesting. You saw that Comey was on zoom. He didn't show up to D.C. that's why he's being tried in Virginia, because his alleged perjury took place in Virginia. If he had shown up, he'd be tried in D.C. much more favorable to Comey. Isn't that interesting? All right. This is not a slam dunk case. The federal government is going to have to bring in people that point the finger former FBI personnel and say Comey was involved with the leaks. They don't have that. They'll lose the case. That's how simple it is. George Soros. Now, Georgie, I'm giving you a heads up. You're in trouble. President Trump's trying to make a RICO case against you for funding violent terrorism. I don't know whether that's going to come about, but that's what the effort is. George. Capital Research center, it is a conservative group. It has issued a report. Report says that Soros has given $80 million. 80 million to groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. Some of those groups are Sunrise Movement, center for Third World Organizing, Ruckus Society, Stop Cop City, Defend the Atlanta Forest Coalition, and Atlanta Solidarity Fund, Blackout Collective. Okay, so it's very specific. Now, the report from the Capital Research center, again, a conservative group says this, quote, open society has had millions of dollars US Based organization engaged in direct actions the FBI defines as desperate terrorism. Its groups include the center for Third World Organizing, its militant partner, Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during 2020 riots. Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the antifa link Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face more than 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments, unquote. That's RICO. That's coming. I think that's coming. If this report is true by this group, and remember, you know, I want to emphasize it is a political group. Okay? Another group, center for Strategic and International Studies, is Centerist. They say okay, and is has issued a report that says left wing terrorism is at its highest level in 30 years. Here's the summation. Quote. Moreover, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left wing attacks outnumber those on the far right. Indeed, the increase in left wing attacks is particularly noticeable because attacks from right wing perpetrators have sharply declined in 2025. Okay, that is their report. Now, I can't confirm any of that. I'm just reporting what is there. Remember, President Biden said the biggest danger to this country is right wing extremism, which of course, it couldn't back up. Talking about extremism, we go to Michigan where a Mormon church was attacked by a guy named Thomas Jacob Sanford. Okay, Sanford. Looks to me another mentally ill kook. Killed four, eight wounded. Some are children. One may die. Awful, awful, awful. President Trump says that Christians are under attack. Not sure that's true, but this is horrible. All we know about this guy is that he's a former vet who fought In Iraq. I think it was Iraq. And yes, he fought, he did two tours and he's a mechanic and he had a Trump pen sign on his lawn. That's all we know. I'm betting that this guy is just mentally ill. Doesn't excuse him. Same thing in my book Confronting Evil. They're all mentally ill. They knew what they were doing. It's another crazy thing. Boy, oh boy. New York City Mayor Adams drops out of the race. We predicted this. Why should you care if you don't live in New York? Because if these opponent man Donnie gets elected, New York City could collapse. If New York City collapses.

That will ripple through the entire country because this is the financial center of the country and Ma', am, Donnie is a communist and Trump has already said not going to give him any federal money if he's mayor at all. And Mandami is just way out there. Anyway, I predicted this would happen on our flagship radio station, WABC. Roll it. New poll, Siena College outside of Albany. New York Times, no surprise. Mandami up 46%. SLIWA 15. Cuomo 24. Eric Adams 9. So Adams has no chance. None. He's done, finished, and he'll drop out. I still believe that will happen. That'll help Cuomo a little bit. And it wasn't a hard prediction. I mean, Adams doesn't have any money. He's not going to pay the bills. I wrote about it on billorilly.com and the message of the day every morning. I hope you go to our website because we have a fresh message every morning. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.

Pete Hegseth is the defense secretary. He's busy this week. He's going to meet with generals and tell him that he doesn't want the troops looking lovingly and I guess some other stuff. But more importantly, he is meeting today with the Gold Star Advisory Council. Gold Star are the parents of fallen US Soldiers, Marines, naval, whatever, maybe. Okay. This is the first time the defense secretary has met with the Gold Star families. So we applaud Mr. Hegseth for doing that. There is a before I get to this, I just want to give you some stats. In Afghanistan, the United States lost 2300 U.S. personnel and more than 20,000 were wounded. In Iraq, 4419 dead, about 32,000 wounded. So that's a lot of folks. And that directly is in play right now. There's a book I want you to bring your attention to. It's called Tragedy to tribute one father's grief fuels a passionate journey to change the mindset of a nation. Book is written by George Lutz, who lost his son Tony, was a corporal in the army, to a sniper's bullet in Fallujah, Iraq. Mr. Lutz joins us now from Norfolk. Change the mindset of a nation How? What do you want to do?

George Lutz (25:06)

Sure. Bill, thank you for the opportunity to share with you. Change the mindset of a nation. It comes down to apathy, really. You know, when, when my son was killed and you mentioned all the stats of those, you know, my son was early on in 2005 you know, I realized that as I went out and I started to talk, talking to individuals, to families, to veterans, to just the regular community, most people didn't care. They didn't understand, you know, what it meant to have this military loss. And that kind of put me in a quandary, because when I got that knock on the door and those five words spoken to me, we regret to inform you, you know, it rocked my world. And I thought to myself, what am I going to do? How am I going to react? How do I grieve through this? Because nobody wants to lose their child. Nobody wants to lose their loved one. And so I began this search of how America remembers. What do we do? What do we say? You know, what emblems do we have? You know, how do we communicate as a nation that loss that is so. Should be so precious to everyone? And, you know, I found very little. I found that we focus a lot on the active duty and the veterans and the wounded. And we should. We absolutely should. But we kind of left behind those that gave their lives, right? Those that made that ultimate sacrifice and what it came down to. And so what I realized even beyond that was there was this whole plethora of families that were still here with us, right? Grieving. Their loved one was gone. But these. These family members were all wondering, hey, did anybody care? Does anybody remember? How do they show us that they remember? And I thought, well, the best gift that I could give these Gold Star families was to create a symbol, a national emblem by which we all could show our appreciation. Right? And you're saying that the Secretary of War has finally got together, you know, a group, a coalition, to talk about Gold Star Families? Well, those Gold Star Families have been dying for generations, right? And so the horse is out of the barn, and it's the.

Bill O'Reilly (27:22)

That. All right, so. So there's a flag that symbolizes that Americans do care about those who lost their lives defending this country or in active military service. Is that the flag behind you?

George Lutz (27:38)

You have a. Yeah, and remember, flag.

Bill O'Reilly (27:42)

Okay. Do you want people. Do you want people to buy the flag or. I have a flag. Exact same thing. Mr. Lutz, in World War I, you know, I'm a collector of history, and I have a flag that, when it was displayed, this was to honor the fallen U.S. soldiers in World War I. Is that what this is? You want people to acquire this, a.

George Lutz (28:08)

National symbol of remembrance? Bill, this is what my mission has been for the last, going on 17 years, a national symbol of remembrance.

Bill O'Reilly (28:17)

Okay. But I want to get into the realistic Nuts and bolts of this. I mean, nobody's going to argue with your campaign. It's certainly noble. But there is an MIA POW flag that flies around the country underneath the American flag. You've seen it. It's all over the place, right?

George Lutz (28:34)

Absolutely. Yes.

Bill O'Reilly (28:36)

You remind people about the horror of Vietnam that all the people, all the Americans that were involved have not been accounted for.

About Bronx and his dad Ryan. Real United Airlines customers.

Bill O'Reilly (29:21)

We were returning home and one of.

Eric Swalwell (clip) (29:23)

The flight attendants asked Bronx if he.

Bill O'Reilly (29:25)

Wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kath and Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat.

ServiceNow Advertiser (29:29)

I grew up in an aviation family and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.

Bill O'Reilly (29:34)

That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

ServiceNow Advertiser (29:36)

These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

Bill O'Reilly (29:39)

It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Advertiser (29:42)

Deck will stick with us forever.

Bill O'Reilly (29:44)

That's how good leads the way. Is that what you want this flag to be? Maybe fly underneath the American flag and the POW flag?

George Lutz (29:53)

Absolutely. I'm actually aligned with the MIA POW movement. You know, those MIA families are kia. They deserve to be recognized as fallen heroes. So yes, my goal is to have the honor member flag fly in concert. To me, it's it, create, it completes a circle of tribute. Right? Our American flag, our US history, our. Our unity. The POW MIA flag recognizes those that were missing or captured. There are no more captured, but are now missing and need to be accounted for. But then the tens of thousands and millions of those that never got to come home and be a veteran and live their lives and raise their family. The honor and remember flag would be that beacon for all of Americans to be able to appreciate the sacrifice that we live under every day.

Bill O'Reilly (30:45)

Okay, certainly, as I said, a noble goal. How can people acquire the flag? What can they do to get in touch with you?

George Lutz (30:53)

Sure. Absolutely. Well, the book tells that 20 year story of how we've got here we have legislation in Congress right now, Bill HR 1363, which would make the Honor Remember flag an official US national symbol of remembrance. We have Flags can be purchased anywhere online on Amazon at. We do have a website, honorandremember.org that people can go to and find out about it.

Bill O'Reilly (31:20)

Right.

George Lutz (31:21)

The book. The book also, as I say, lays out the story. What you do need to know is that 29 states have already officially legislated this flag as their state symbol of remembrance.

Bill O'Reilly (31:34)

Very good.

George Lutz (31:34)

We're all, we're already over half the country, but we need those more states and the country to say, and they've started to today apparently to say that when we say the words, you will not be forgotten, that they really mean it.

Bill O'Reilly (31:49)

Yeah. Back it up with something. Okay. So honor and remembrance.org honor and remembrance.org your book is tragedy to Tribute One father's grief fuels a passionate journey to change the mindset of a nation. And then there's legislation pending in the House. We can't imagine anybody opposing it. So it's just a matter of getting these people to get it to the floor to vote. So just do me a favor, Mr. Lutz, keep me apprised of the legislation. We'll give you some help to push it through. And I, we respect your crusade very much. It is needed in this country. There's no doubt about it. And certainly your son Tony died a hero. And if we can ever do anything for your family, you let us know. Okay.

George Lutz (32:37)

Thank you. Can I leave you with a thought?

Bill O'Reilly (32:39)

Sure.

George Lutz (32:40)

You may not remember this, but in 2008, in October, and I put this in the book, by the way, you were gracious enough to give give us 23 seconds on the air, you know, on, on your FOX News program through my friend Dennis Miller. And that 23 seconds bill, back 17 years ago launched this mission to the capacity of where it is today.

Bill O'Reilly (33:07)

And we might mention, but I don't deserve the credit. Miller does because Miller wrote the forward in your book and he has been a stalwart, stalwart in your organization and others. And people don't know that. And you know, Miller's retired now. He's living large in California. But he's still very involved. And thank you for reminding me. I hate to say anything good about Miller. You know, it's but boy, oh boy, is he a patriot. And, and thank you for that, Mr. Lutz. We really appreciate it. So we'll talk again. And we want everybody to go to get a flag and, and to help you as much as I can. Thank you.

George Lutz (33:54)

Well, thank you, sir.

Bill O'Reilly (33:56)

Back with a really good book in a moment. Okay, final thought. So my pal Leland Vitter, we had a special last night on News Nation about his new book out tomorrow call Born Lucky Bullet Tape. So then comes the most difficult part of any childhood. High school.

James Comey (clip) (34:15)

It's kind of like a newsroom.

Bill O'Reilly (34:17)

Well, but you're a little older in the newsroom. Did the daily pain that you experienced in grammar school continue in high school? Sure.

James Comey (clip) (34:26)

Because then you understood how isolated you really were.

Bill O'Reilly (34:29)

How'd you get through that?

James Comey (clip) (34:30)

I'd come home every night and yell at dad every day at 4:20 in the afternoon, which is when school let out. He would be waiting for me to walk home and we would talk and he would listen to me be so upset and not understand why people were treating me like this and why he couldn't do anything about it.

Bill O'Reilly (34:48)

Did you get angry at him at the time?

James Comey (clip) (34:51)

Horribly angry. I'd scream at him every night, get me out of here. How can you let them do this to me?

Bill O'Reilly (34:54)

You had to vent.

James Comey (clip) (34:55)

You had to vent. And I think he understood that that's what he needed to do and to be there for.

Bill O'Reilly (35:04)

Leland has autism. It's. It's an amazing book and his father saved him and he's one of the most successful broadcast journalists in the country. I'll be on his show tonight at 9 o'. Clock. So his book again is Born Lucky. He's autistic, Severely autistic. Got through his childhood because of his father. Father quit his job to make sure that Leland was safe. It's an amazing book, an amazing situation. I'm so happy I could help Leland with it because it gives hope to millions of American parents and kids who have autism or something else. They're born with no fault of their own that you can overcome it. And Leland, it was not. It was pretty pronounced. So anyway, if you want to watch the documentary we shared last night, you can get it billorily.com we'll switch you right over to it. I'll be on Leland tonight. He'll be here tomorrow. Talk about the book and I hope you check it out. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
