Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Tuesday, December 16, 2025 stand up for your country. Another uproar from the White House. Every day, every single day. This one chief of staff Susie Wiles gave an interview to Vanity Fair magazine. In the interview, and they edited it. Of course, all magazines do that. She said some controversial stuff and now all hell is breaking loose in the press. Suzy Wile said this, Suzy Wiles said that, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah. Okay, my first question is why? Why Ms. Wiles, and you know, you have one of the most important jobs in the country. Why would you talk to Vanity Fair magazine? What do you hope to gain by that? This is a left wing, Hollywood based hate Trump publication. That's what it is. Why are you giving them your valuable time? And you know they're going to edit the piece in a way that makes you and your boss look that it's 100%. I can't figure this out. I really cannot figure it out. And I've asked the president a number of times because he does it too. Why do you talk to Bob Woodward when you know Bob Woodward has accepted millions of dollars to write a book that is disparaging you? Why talk to him? And the president answers, well, I want to persuade him. I want to see a point of view. He doesn't care. They don't care. Now, I'm not accusing Vanity Fair of making anything up. They're smarter than that. But as Ms. Wilde stated, they're not going to provide context for her remarks. So I'll give you an example. In the piece, it says that Ms. Wiles believes that President Trump has an alcoholic personality. Whoa, whoa, that. And that's a headline. President Trump is an alcoholic personality. Well, Susie Wiles father was Pat Summerall, a football guy, you may remember. He was an alcoholic. And her point was that alcoholics are risk takers and often do not consider the downside of what they're doing, which is true. That's an alcoholic personality. Now, Donald Trump doesn't drink or take drugs and never has because his older brother, as I chronicle in the United States of Trump, my book on the president died from alcoholism very young. He was an airline pilot. Trump saw that. He was close to his brother, never touched this stuff. But the personality, Ms. Wiles is trying to describe to Vanity Fair, but that's not what Vanity Fair puts out. They put it out as a pejorative. He's drunk all the time. And then it goes on and on and on and on and on. All right, so this dominates and you'll see it if you bother watching the cable news tonight or even I. It's got to get into the nightly news too. They got to do it. And it'll all be negative toward Trump. Oh, Susie. Whoa, oh, oh. But what did you people expect to happen? All right, Talking Points Memo is another situation almost along the same lines. But this is not the White House's fault. Okay, all right. So if you are in the social media, on the Internet, looking for news coverage, you get this headline from CNN and other left wing organizations. Unemployment rate hits a four year high last month, November. Okay, that's CNN, New York Times. U.S. unemployment rose in November, a warning sign for the economy. Ms. Unemployment rate reaches a four year high as Trump's economic woes continue. USA Today, US added 64,000 jobs in November as unemployment hits a four time high. Now most people are just going to read those headlines. They're not reading the article about economics. Okay, not doing it. Oh, the economy is terrible. Economy's terrible. Economy is terrible. Okay, so let's analyze what actually happened yesterday. So the November unemployment rate is stated 4.6% up from 4.4 in September. There was no report in October because of the government shut down. Okay, so it ends up 0.2%. It's not anything significant. But here's what the articles will not tell you. On the last day of September, continuing into October and November, hundreds of thousands of federal employees were Furloughed. Hundreds of thousands let go because of Doge and the Trump administration cutting back the federal payroll. That's where all of the jobs were lost. Is that going to be in the article? No, no. The other thing is that analysts were expecting 40,000 jobs to be created in November, and the number came in at 64,000. Higher, significantly higher. Not going to see it. Okay, so again, this is all by design that we're going to take stuff out of context, throw it out there. And the left wing media is 80% of the media, probably more. All right? And then hope that the American people rebel against Donald Trump because the economy, they think the economy's bad. Economy isn't bad. Might get that way, but it's not bad now. All right, so added to this are the distractions like Vanity Fair and Susie Wiles. And the biggest distraction came this week when Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered, allegedly by their son. Horrible. I mean, there's no other word for it. Doesn't get worse than that. Rob Reiner was a militant who hated Donald Trump, despised him, and a very involved person in the progressive movement. But that doesn't mean you're happy when he dies, because it's just like Charlie Kirk. Remember the people who are happy when he died. So the President comes out and says, I think it's because Rob Reiner was a far left politician who hated me and that led to his death. That's a stretch. But even if that's what the President thinks, it's a wrong time to say it. Again, referencing Charlie Kirk. You know, there are millions of people who didn't like Charlie Kirk, but you don't say it when he's assassinated. Have you heard of Gold Belly?

Chris Cuomo and a caller. And the caller desperately wanted Cuomo to ram these comments down Trump's throat. Okay? But Cuomo didn't do it. On a show, he mentioned it, but he wasn't virtue signaling like all the other liberal commentators were. He didn't do that. Roll the tape.
- [12:06]
D
We all know to be better than that.
- [12:08]
C
But why?
- [12:09]
D
Why?
- [12:09]
C
Why do you need it? Why do you need it? Why do you need it like it's a dog treat?
- [12:13]
D
Why do you need it like it's.
- [12:14]
C
A. Oh, Chris is Okay, he gets that Trump is a monster. Look, the guy's not a monster, okay? He plays the system. All right?
- [12:25]
D
So.
- [12:28]
C
Again, virtually every single broadcaster ran with that. Trump's horrible, but Cuomo didn't. Because Cuomo understands the bigger picture, okay? And he's not justifying Trump's statement, okay? Not doing that. He's just saying, look, this is where we are politically now. It's hatred. That's where we are. There's no detente in America. There's no trying to understand the other side or trying to work out a compromise. It's hatred. Now, you can blame whoever you want to blame, but I'm not going to be a part of it. And Cuomo, to his credit, doesn't seem to be either. That's what happened, okay? So now every single day, it's this crazy kind of stuff, and it is affecting President Trump's legacy. Now, he will speak to the nation tomorrow night, Wednesday night, and on Thursday, we'll have a full, fair and smart analysis of the president's speech. It's an important speech for the president. Okay? It is, because his legacy has to survive next year. He can't lose the House or the Senate because he won't get anything done the rest of the way. So this is a legacy thing. Now, final point in the memoir, the White House yesterday needs a rapid response team to correct the press when it lies like it did about the unemployment numbers. Okay? Lie by omission. They had to have somebody. In addition, Caroline Levitt can't do it. She's got the day to day. But a rapid response team comes out, boom, boom, boom. This is what they're like that desperately need that. Okay? And I hope the president who does follow this broadcast gets it up and running. And that's a memo. All right. Donald Trump is suing the British Broadcasting Corporation in Florida. Why? Because the BBC broadcast here in America suing for $10 billion because they admitted that they mis edited a January 6th piece of tape to try to implicate Trump in fostering a rebellion. And they used two separate things and put them together as one. They admitted it. Two of their executives were fired. Now Trump will win the lawsuit. It'll be settled just like all the others are and it'll go to his library. I estimate he'll get 25 million out of the BBC. But they did it. And you know they're not going to go through the process, that's for sure. Joe Biden's library didn't have any money. So it cost between 2 and 300 million to build a presidential library these days. You can check with Barack Obama. His is going up in Chicago. Trump's already raised the money. He's already got his library. It's going to be in Palm Beach County, Florida. Biden has $11 million. That's it. And nobody's giving him any money. His library is supposed to go in Delaware, but you know, I don't think so. But that's that Wikipedia, I use it, all right? I use it consistently for information. But here is a very interesting study by the Media Research center conservative group, but accurate group. We've been using them for years here and I've never had to retract anything they printed. So media research says that Wikipedia cites left wing outlets 20 times more than right wings when delivering information. Okay, Here's a conclusion. MCR MRC researchers searched all languages of Wikipedia November 18th and 19th this year. Determine how many times you the editors cited each of the right, lean right, center, lean left, left sources that appear on the publicly available all size media bias chart. Overwhelmingly, it's left wing. New York Times cited more than a million times highest for the conservative movement. Fox News 126,000 times. They're in the numbers. So you can see that it's just way out of line. So when people who don't know that Wikipedia is doing this go to Wikipedia, they're getting left wing information most of the time. Joining us now from Herndon, Virginia is Tim Graham, the executive editor of News Busters and a member of the Media Research Center. Why is this important? I mean, I know I use Wikipedia just to look stuff up. I'm not looking for their political analysis. Do you think a lot of people are doing that?
- [17:38]
D
Yes, because obviously when you do a Google search, what's the first result you're generally going to get? Google gives you Wikipedia. It's just the algorithms right there. So almost whatever where you put in somebody's name, you put in a political event, the first link you're probably going to get is to Wikipedia. So that's really important. And then it says, which sources do they use? And yes, overwhelmingly they're going to use these liberal media sources. You know, when we were kids and we were reading the World Book, it didn't have a bunch of footnotes necessarily, but it was pretty straightforward and cut and dried. I think when you look at Wikipedia articles, like the Wikipedia article on the Media Research center, it's going to have a bunch of liberal things in it that they're, you know, oh, controversies, you know.
- [18:27]
C
Right.
- [18:28]
D
Obviously I did something earlier this year where I looked at the news networks Fox and MSNBC and CNN and they went to Fox News having a defamation suit right up top. You know, CNN settled a defamation suit that's like in paragraph 56. I mean, so these are the sorts of things they overwhelmingly favor. Yeah, the New York Times, ap, the Washington Post, and then the conservative sites are way, way down there. So yeah, the New York Times is. New York Times is like 1.6 million and the New York Post is like 41,000. That's like 41 to 1. So that's what you get.
- [19:06]
C
Do you think that Wikipedia editors or owners are doing it on purpose?
- [19:11]
D
Yes. You know, remember it used to be in the early days where like any schmo who got registered, you'd be a registered user and you could get in there and, and try to put sentences or paragraphs in there and see if they'd be accepted. It's a much more top down enterprise now. And when we get in there and we search it, yeah, it's obviously intentional. And it is really the same thing we find when our team's been studying Google News. Apple News. When you go into these aggregators, you're going to overwhelmingly get the so called trusted sources, the New York Times, cnn, npr. That's what they're going to give you on any breaking news story. And Wikipedia is just sort of doing the same.
- [19:53]
C
So people don't know this. They go in, they read this stuff, they believe it, A lot of them, they're not skeptical. And then this helps the progressives and the Democratic Party. And that's the, that's the game, the fix is in, right?
- [20:08]
D
Yeah. And if I was a high school teacher, I would say I don't want any Wikipedia citations, no footnotes from Wikipedia. But I mean, you could just as well cite the footnotes that Wikipedia actually uses and says I'm good. I cited the New York Times, you know, I mean, but it's, this is one of those first places that people go. And yeah, you're right, if you're just searching for something like who won Super Bowl 41, you're going to get straight up facts. But yeah, on any contentious political actor or political issue, you're going to get a lot of spin.
- [20:41]
C
Right. Or personalities, they can build, you know, pump up progressive personalities and pump down conservatives. Now sometimes AI comes up, you know, for a summation of a subject. Is that accurate?
- [21:04]
D
No, because again, the, a lot of these AI bots and you know, now we're comparing Elon, Musk, Grok maybe to some of these others, the chap GPTs, the Google Geminis, what are they using for their sources? I mean, when you do a Google search you'll get that too. It's going to be, we just looked at the New York Times and you know, these sorts of trustworthy outlets to put together our AI answer to you. So it's the same problem all over the place.
- [21:33]
C
Okay, is there any solution to the problem, Tim?

D
Well, I mean, again, sometimes maybe we'll try to see if Grokipedia is better than Wikipedia or Grok AI is better than the other ones. You know, we always just say, yeah, there's a lot of conservative media out there now that you can get your information from. And of course, the liberals will all say you can't trust any of that, but you certainly can. And when we do the numbers on these things, we demonstrate it, it's factual. You might not like the numbers, but the numbers are the numbers.
- [23:00]
C
Okay, but an outlet like Newsmax or Fox News, they do ignore stories on occasion that are unflattering to the right or President Trump, correct?
- [23:12]
D
I imagine that's true, yes. And. And the reverse is true. Right. So the CBS and abc, NBC don't want to do the. The negative stories on Democrats. I would say this. We were talking about. You were talking about Trump's statement on Rob Reiner. Fox was on that and they did not like it.
- [23:31]
C
Well, they were on it, but they didn't contextualize it. They. Virtue signaled it, didn't they?
- [23:41]
D
Well, it's. It's easy to virtue signal, isn't it?
- [23:44]
C
I know, but look, that's not. That's not reporting.
- [23:47]
D
That was a good idea.
- [23:48]
C
That's not reporting. All right. The reason, the reason that Donald Trump made the statement is that he is so angry. It's us against them. It's me and my White House against all those media people, all of them, okay? And whatever I have to do to bring them down, I'm going to bring. Now, that's. The context of the remark doesn't justify the remark, but that context completely lost, completely lost on why this is happening. It's what I do. That's why I'm successful. But, well, I saw some of the conservative coverage. It wasn't just Fox either. It was a bunch of conservative outlets all across the spectrum. Virtue signaling. That's all it was. It wasn't anything like, well, why did a guy do this? Why does he continue to do it? Explain it so that people know about it. That's not justified. Last word.
- [24:41]
D
I think it's interesting that when, at least in the coverage I've seen of this horrible death of Rob Reiner, they really aren't focusing on the. They'll say he was a Democratic donor, but they're certainly not gonna say he's controversial the way that Charlie Kirk was portrayed as controversial. Rob Reiner was too.
- [24:58]
C
Way more what Rob Reiner did in his life with the people for the American way and all that. But I'm not gonna go in on Reiner. I'm not. He's a private citizen. He can do whatever he wants to do. He was murdered. And that was horrible, horrible, as I said. And I'm going to leave it alone for now. But if you know how extreme Reimer was. But that again, does not justify what happened. Tim, thanks very much. We appreciate it. Good. Good work, Tim. I. I got to tell you, you're. We follow you now all the time because the stuff is real. All right? Ukraine and NATO have agreed in a security down the road pact. This is very important. Underreported. Putin's not going to give it up. I mean, I don't. They can say whatever they want to say, but he loves this. He loves killing innocent people. But if NATO and Ukraine sign a pact that says any further intrusion. All right, any further aggressive action and NATO is going to step it up against Russia. Very important. Risky, but I think it has to be done. That's what's in play. Three more drug boats blown up in the eastern Pacific. A lot of the reportage, the people on television don't know geography. This is. These boats are not from Venezuela, from Colombia. Venezuela does not have a presence in the Pacific Ocean. Okay. It's Caribbean only, anyways. Brings a total of 95 people dead and 25 boats blown up. All right. And Hegsev says he's not going to release the unedited version of the September 2nd boat strike where two guys survived the initial and then they blew him up on the second one. So that's not going to be released. Interesting happening yesterday. Got no reporting at all. President Trump signed an executive order classifying fentanyl, the deadly poisonous drug, as a weapon of mass destruction. Here's what the President said. But there's no doubt that America's adversaries are trafficking fentanyl into the United States in part because they want to kill Americans. If this were a war, that would be one of the worst wars. I believe they killed over the last five or six years per year, 200 to 300,000 people. All right, so why did the President do this? Because it makes it easier for him to justify to Congress and to the American people land strikes that are going to happen against the drug cartel people. So you're going to expect that in Venezuela first and then Mexico. That's where most of the fentanyl comes from. Fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. But Trump wants Maduro out. If he has to do a little droning there. He'll do it, I believe. But Mexico, there's a big message sent to them, okay? Now, weapon of mass destruction. That's why the Iraq war started. But Hussein did not have them. Fentanyl. Plenty of it in Mexico, that's for sure. This whole drug thing bothers me. And you know, again, I say to people, you don't understand drug addicts. Most Americans don't understand the mentality. They don't care if they die. This, this kid who killed his parents, the Reiner kid, you think that kid cares if he dies? You know, you know, they don't care. They lose all humanity. Narcotics robs you of all humanity. All right, California. The FBI has arrested four people who were allegedly trying to set up a New Year's Eve bombing. I'm not going to give you their names. You can find Wikipedia if you want. All from L. A. They caught him in Lucerne Valley, a small desert town east of Los Angeles. And they got all kinds of explosive devices and all that. Good work, FBI. I know the press hates you because cash Patel and all that, but good work, right? Germany arrested five radical Muslims planning an attack on a Christmas market. So the jihad stepping up, the bombing in California. Those people, they're all jihadists. And why stepping up now? I'm not sure, but it is. All right. Spending on the holidays. Our whole billoreilly.com store is geared to saving you money. I've been over that and over that and over that. And if you don't believe me, then I don't know what to do because the prices are as low as you're ever going to get anything of that quality anyway. CNBC, the survey. It says. Here are the highlights. 41% of Americans plan to spend less this year than last year. 41. It's a big number. Okay. 61% believe prices are rising faster than their income. Okay. And final thing is 60% are pessimistic on their current economy. That's why the Trump White House needs to get that rapid response team up. Yes, prices are higher, no doubt, but not all prices. And if you manage your money responsibly and in an intelligent way, they're not going to get hurt except on insurance that the big one, that's a killer. Medical marijuana looks like it's a ruse. According to two studies in printed in a journal of the American Medical association, which is a very prestigious vehicle. Number one, most of the medical marijuana does not help your medical condition. Sorry. And people using medical marijuana, 30% of them are now addicted. Okay. They have cannabis use disorder, which is a drug addiction. 30% of them and those who smoke pot every day have double the risk of a heart disease and a stroke. High potency THC also increases the risk of psychosis and anxiety disorders. Again, this Reiner kid out of his mind because he's been taking drugs since you're 15 years old. We'll be back with a final thought that pertains directly to your life in a moment. Final thought of the day. So a week from tonight is our last show for the year and we are doing the whole show. I'll do a little headlines up top but you know, 99% of the show will be you writing to me, emailing me. We will answer any questions you want. We will give you more information if you want. We will read praise and dissent. If you'd like to see this show improved, the no spin news, we'll read them. It'll be lots of fun. So all you year ender, how we doing? What would you like to see in 26? All of that we have a special address billoriley.com sl live. All right. Billor.com live we would like your participation here. It'll be fun. Okay, so that is a week from this evening. Now, I know a lot of people are very busy. Every time I call up my friends and say, hey, what do you do? Rapping. I don't know how long it see, I got people doing all this for me. I, I do. I mean I have people that rap and people that pick out stuff for me. And I admit it, I admit it. I'm so busy. I was at, I had to go in the city last night in Manhattan to this media party, Dan Abrams. And he's got a good restaurant. Abrams just opened Danny's. It's an old time saloon kind of place where press people hang out. And if you're in Manhattan or you're down there, 22nd Street, I believe it is stop in tell mo Riley sent you. But anyway, Avery's a good guy. I like him. And he put a media party on and I was invited. And Abrams only does this to annoy other people at the party. I know what he's doing. But I go because I had to do News Nation and I had to go into their studio on 42nd Street. So I just tweeted, wind it. And I had an interesting conversation with Joe Scarborough. And he was a gentleman, respectful. The wife was still part of me. But Scarborough was, you know, I hadn't talked to him in a while and we kind of pioneers in cable news. And I saw a lot of other people. Everybody was respectful, but most are afraid of me. I understand I'm not exactly a warm and fuzzy guest. But anyway, everybody's busy. I'm busy. But we'll get it all done and we'll be back here tomorrow. Thank you for watching tonight. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you on Wednesday.
