Bill O'Reilly
Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Monday, July 14, 2025. Stand up for your country. Well, it is never dull with the Trump administration. All right, Summer usually languid. Word of the day, languid. Okay, with this crew. Now we're dealing with Putin and Russia and Ukraine, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. Extremely, extremely important story. Much more important than most people in the world are understand. All right. And we'll get to that. So when President Trump was campaigning to become president the second time, he often attacked the Biden administration for not being able to deal with Putin. Okay. Trump's line was, if I had been reelected in 2020, there would have been no Ukraine war. That's what President Trump said. Clearly, here's what he put forth on October 14, 2024. Go.
- [02:22]
Donald Trump
There's so much bad happened in this administration, it's disgraceful. You know, as an example, there'd be no war with Russia and Ukraine. There's no way. I get along very well with Putin.
- [02:33]
Bill O'Reilly
And then when he was elected for the second time, Donald Trump and I know this to be true. Okay, was very optimistic that Vladimir Putin would cooperate in a ceasefire. Very optimistic. But that did not turn out to be true. So now today we are in a second phase. First, the casualties. This is unbelievable. So Putin invaded the much smaller nation of Ukraine in February 2022. Since that time, a quarter of a million Russian troops have been killed. Up to 100,000 Ukrainians have died. 700,000 Russian troops have been wounded. 300,000 Ukrainian troops wounded. More than 6.5 million refugees have fled Ukraine and they have gone all over the world. This is for the center for Strategic and International Studies and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. So these are very well documented statistics. Okay. So it is a situation totally out of control and there's more death every day. Okay. So you would think that there would be some kind of move from Vladimir Putin to stop the carnage. Trump offered him a pretty good deal. What you have now you can keep, which is about 10% of Ukraine, and then we'll lift the trade sanctions. But Putin said blank, you. All right? Now, today, Trump is angry with Putin. Roll the tape.
- [04:15]
Donald Trump
So in a nutshell, we're going to make top of the line weapons, and they'll be sent to NATO. NATO may choose to have certain of them sent to other countries where we can get a little additional speed, where the country will release something, and it'll be mostly in the form of a replacement. And I'm disappointed in President Putin because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn't seem to get there. So based on that, we're going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don't have a deal in 50 days, it's very simple. And they'll be at 100%. And that's the way it is. That can be more simple. It's just the way it is. I hope we don't have to do it.
- [04:54]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so we're going to sell weapons to NATO and they'll give them to whoever they want, which will be the Ukrainians. All right. Maybe the Poles will get some, too, because Poland borders Russia. Now, the sanctions, the only way to break Putin is to say to the international banks, you can't do business with Moscow. Now, China and North Korea are going to do business with Moscow no matter what. Okay? But if the rest of the world, if the banking system doesn't, then Putin is done. That's the sanction that matters. I would have done that sanction six months ago when it was clear that Putin was not going to stop killing people. But just keep that in mind. Sanctions are only effective up to a point. You have to understand, if Vladimir Putin does not care about his own people, if they starve to death, he doesn't care. I mean, obviously, when you've got a quarter of a million dead and 700,000 wounded, that's approaching a million casualties. For what? For what? You think Putin cares about human life? He does not. He is a psychopath. He enjoys inflicting pain on human beings. And I know that because we researched this man, Putin, as well as anybody could. And he leads my upcoming book on September 9, Confronting Evil. He's on a cover of it, as you probably know. All right, this is not a normal human being. Putin, a lot like the mullahs, okay? Very similar. In effect, the mullahs never would have stopped funding terrorism, and they probably haven't to this day. But we don't know about it ever, until we bomb them. And they were looking at the edge of extinction. Then the mullahs pulled back, okay? But they were never going to stop killing people because they like to kill people. This is Iran. Putin's the same way. It's the same thing. But we can't bomb Putin because he has nuclear weapons. And you just can't get into that kind of a confrontation on this planet. Putin knows that, and he flashes the nuclear thing all the time. All right, so summing up, NATO is going to purchase a number of very sophisticated US Weapons, including Patriot missiles. Trump went out of his way to say, NATO's going to pay us for them to mollify the far right isolationist movement. That's what that was about. And then Trump says, if we don't have a ceasefire in 50 days, 5, 0, okay, 100% tariffs, but unless he does the banking stuff, it's really not going to matter very much. And that's the memo. Bill O'Reilly here. I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called the Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom. How the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history, despite details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now, I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best performing stocks of our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit trumpsamericandream.com TrumpsAmericanDream.com so I asked my staff to find a really good guest on this that's not going to give you the predictable stuff, all right? Because I hate that and I believe you're bored by it. So you come up with a guy named Mikhail Troisky. He teaches at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University outside of Boston, which is a very, very good School. Now, Dr. Troitzky got his PhD in Russia. He's a Russian national in this country legally, of course, and he taught at the Russian Academy of Science among other schools in Moscow. First of all, doctor, we appreciate your time. Am I making any mistakes with Putin and my analysis today?
- [09:23]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, actually I think Bill, you are quite accurate. And I was even surprised to hear that this great analysis regarding banking sanctions, that's exactly what would matter. And I think that's exactly what the Russian government is mostly concerned with. Not so much the secondary sanctions as they are called, secondary tariffs on whatever India or China sanctions sense to the United States that is going to be difficult to impose. But targeting Russia's remaining participation in the global financial system is of course going to be much more conducive to.
- [10:15]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, and I hope Trump does that. He has not done it so far. As I said, I would have done it much earlier and it's not Monday morning. Quarterback. We don't fool around here, doctor. I mean we know what's going on all over the place. I don't know whether you know, but I spent some time in Beijing in May. I mean I know what's going on. And the oligarchs who prop Putin up, and that includes the generals of the military, as you know, okay, they're dependent on foreign money. They have all their money in foreign banks. That money's not in Moscow. You slap sanctions and freezes on all of the oligarchs money, all of the general's money and Putin is done. Am I wrong? Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Bill O'Reilly
You don't want to miss an episode.
- [12:42]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, I think, well, generals might not have plenty of money stashed abroad, but you are right that this feeling of situation still being reversible for the oligarch and a large segment, millions of people in Russia who have assets both in, inside their country and in the West. So they feel it's still reversible and they see the deal that the Trump administration puts on the table. And if, you know, the situation kind of shifts towards irreversible with these new secondary sanctions.
- [13:24]
Bill O'Reilly
And I don't know if it's irreversible because Putin at some point is going to make a calculation just like the mullahs made in Iran that look, I better stop or I better do something. But let me ask you this question. There's no really reliable reporting coming out of Russia because they don't allow free press there, as you know. And if you go against Putin, you might wind up dead, okay, Literally dead. As we saw last week with another, I think it was like 45 former members of Putin's government are dead by suicide. They've fallen out windows. You know what the game is. But the Russian people themselves, all right, we get reports that they still back Putin. Can that be possible?
- [14:10]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, the Russian people have largely been brainwashed and this heavy handed propaganda has been going on for more than a decade now. And it became especially violent in the run up to the war. So and then you are right that there's no accurate sociological data you can get out of, out of Russia these days. But as we have seen over the past three and a half years of the war, counting on the Russian society to stand up against the war, maybe not even against Putin, but just to become mildly critical about the war and do it openly. That hasn't materialized. So.
- [14:56]
Bill O'Reilly
But I wonder why. I mean, I remember the Vietnam War days. I was around and you had all of these Americans, 55,000 of them coming down dead, all right, And a lot of them coming home wounded. And the American public saw that in their towns and they go, what are we doing over there? All right, Russian people of the city, you know, you're losing sons and your friends and husbands and brothers and do they don't care about that.
- [15:26]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, the short answer would Be that the Russians are being paid to remain quiescent, and they are being promised a way of life that would largely leave them immune to the war, a major war that is.
- [15:43]
Bill O'Reilly
Give me an example. Give me an example of what they're being proud because Russians don't live very well. I mean, come on. They're not America over there. I don't have any money, and they're not living large. What are they being promised?
- [15:56]
Mikhail Troitsky
No, but over the. Over the Putin years, the standards of living in Russia, and in particular in large cities like Moscow, have risen dramatically. So.
- [16:07]
Bill O'Reilly
And that's because of oil. Is that the oil sale? Yeah.
- [16:10]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, largely oil money, but making economy more efficient, borrowing some Western technology, you know, getting some investment from the west, including the United States, you know, the stock market. And, you know, there's. There's ways to raise money for Russian corporations, or at least they used to be such ways, and they are no longer in existence after 2022.
- [16:33]
Bill O'Reilly
So that makes sense. Final question. Do you think President Trump's doing anything wrong here? I mean, obviously he made a mistake because he did believe he could reason with Putin, and that has not come out to be true. Is the president making any other mistakes in this conflict?
- [16:51]
Mikhail Troitsky
Well, I think from the perspective of ending the war, he's making a very reasonable evolution. And what I also liked about him is that he seems not to be deterred or impressed by any nuclear brinkmanship and nuclear blackmail by some Russian figures. So he immediately calls them out on that brinkmanship. And that was something that I think the previous administration was cautious not to, you know, push the envelope too far because of that. So now the Kremlin knows there's this. There's limits as to how, you know, heavily that they can try to blackmail Trump. Otherwise, you know, he's making progress in his, you know, thinking about Russia and that he invokes his, you know, conversations with Millennia who. Who apparently tells him, look, you know, what Putin is doing after you've just talked with him, that makes the whole thing very personal to him. So I would expect more of that evolution in the. In the coming week.
- [17:57]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, and I'm the. Mr. Trump could lean on China a little bit, and I hope that happens. Hey, professor, we really appreciate it. Thanks very much for helping us out tonight. Okay. One year ago, President Trump was almost killed. You all remember that, the Butler shooting. And there is a Senate report that was released over the weekend. I didn't even know about this. And it's pretty troubling. All right, so it says that members of Donald Trump, his Secret Service protective unit. Okay. Because all presidential candidates get Secret Service protection. Protection. So he has a protective unit of Secret Service men and women going with him in the campaign. Apparently they asked the Secret Service head, Kimberly Cheadle in D.C. who was a Biden appointee, to give them more resources, more people and other resources. And Cheadle said no. All right, here is the key part of the report released over the weekend. Quote, United States Secret Service headquarters denied or left unfulfilled at least 10 requests by the Donald Trump division for additional resources during the 2024 campaign, including enhanced counter unmanned aerial system assets, counter assault team personnel, counter sniper personnel. Documents reveal a pattern of certain categories of request either being blatantly denied, unfulfilled, or required to be supplemented by local law enforcement or other federal agencies on court. So this, of course, opens the question that the Biden administration, not that they wanted Trump to be killed. I think that would be ridiculous assertion. But they weren't all that concerned about his safety. Isn't that fair? Cheadle, of course, was embarrassed in her testimony, you'll remember, in front of Congress where she knew no anything. She came off as a fifth grader. How could this person be running the Secret Service? My God. And she was forced to resign. All right, politics. So do you ever hear this? I feel like I'm holding a class here on government. Do you ever hear of a rescissions bill? It's not recession, it's recessions. A rescissions bill is when Congress pulls back from spending that it has already approved. Okay? And there is a deadline for this fiscal year on Friday, this coming Friday. All right. And Trump is saying we wanted to fund public broadcasting. Here's, here's what Trump says, quote, is very important to all Republicans that they adhere to my recessions bill and in particular, defund the corporation, Public Broadcasting, pbs, npr, which is worse than CNN and MSDNC put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or endorsement. Thank you for your attention. Okay, so it's basically telling Republicans, you better vote to defund PBS and NPR or we're going to primary you. That's pretty effective. Now, there are others involved with this. Global health programs, Migration and Refugee Assistance, Democracy Fund, Clean Technology Fund. You know, it's a whole bunch of left wing stuff that's getting taxpayer money that Trump wants to knock out. But the big ones are NPR and pbs because they're left wing organizations, which they are. Anyone who says they are is lying. To you. And we can prove it a thousand different ways. And we have. All right, so that I expect the Senate and the House to pass and it's sayonara, PBS, NPR for government money, which under Biden was 200 billion in the four years, more 200 billion going into PBS, NPR to prop up Biden. Now I despise NPR and PBS because what they did to me personally. Americans love using their credit cards, the most secure and hassle free way to pay. But D.C. politicians want to change that with the Durbin Marshall credit card bill. This bill lets corporate megastores pick how your credit card is processed, allowing them to use untested payment networks that jeopardize your data security and rewards. Corporate megastores will make more money and you pay the price. Tell Congress to guard your card because Americans lose when politicians choose. Learn more@guardyourcard.com I know who they are. I know them all. They're the worst, the lowest. They feed off the public trough to enhance their ideology. Compete like the rest of us. You can't. You can't compete because A, you're boring and B, you're dishonest. This should not even be close. Democrats, of course, want it because they prop up the Democratic Party. Epstein update. All right, so I wrote a message of the day that MAGA is divided. And I hope you read it every morning on BillORiley.com, it's free. You don't have to be a member. You just go there and there's the message of the day. So the really vehement pro Trump forces are divided on Epstein. One side says we don't want powerful people protected by the federal government. And that's the side I take. The other side says this doesn't matter. And it really doesn't compare to Putin and Russia, China and tariffs and economy. Epstein doesn't. But there's a symbolic thing here about justice. But anyway, the other side says, look, he's dead. Good. Leave Trump alone. So there's a division in the MAGA forces and of course being exploited by the liberal media. Like, look at these people. They always do that. Now, Trump for some reason doesn't want his Justice Department to go out and hold a press conference. Now, I did some investigating myself over the weekend and I can tell you with certainty it's not Pam Bonding making any of these decisions. It's not the Attorney General in the United States. It's a man named Todd Blanche who is the Assistant Attorney General. He was Trump's private lawyer in the New York City criminal cases, and he was a former prosecutor in New York Southern District. Todd Blanche used to be a Democrat. He changed over the Republican side. He's the guy that's calling the shots on Epstein. Did you know that? Nobody knows that. But I don't know why I spent a lot of time this weekend trying to. Why? Just go out there and in a general way, tell the folks what the Justice Department has learned, that's all. And embarrass Biden and Merrick Garland by calling Garland in to sit next to Pam Bondi. And if Blanche wants to be there, good. But I still don't have why they're resisting, because, as you know, when I talked with President TRUMP On St. Patrick's Day, this came up along with the Kennedy and King files. He didn't have any problem back then because, yeah, you know, you've got to protect the people who had lunch with Epstein, want to destroy their lives if they're not involved with his activities. And that's absolutely a valid point. The Blaze and Glenn Beck put out a really good encapsulation today about my interview with Beck on Friday. So get a chance, punch that up. And I was happy to be able to spend a little time, you know, weaving this whole thing. I'll find out what this is all about. But it's not easy because Trump doesn't want this. He wants it to go away, but I don't think it's going to go away. It's not big enough to crush him. But I think they should try to resolve this, they being the Justice Department and the Oval Office. All right. New poll on the Democrats by Unite the Country. Unite the country is a political action committee that helps Democrats. So the Hill, it's a pretty good outfit. All right. They get a hold of this poll. It's not out yet. And the summary of the poll is that voters perceive the Democratic Party, remember, this is a Democratic poll, as out of touch, woke and weak. Okay. The Democratic Party's credibility has declined further since the November election. Wow. It's gone down even more. And leading that decline are white men, Hispanic men and working class people. They have abandoned the Democrats. Women, I guess, are still hanging on. But I thought you'd be interested in that poll now. The presidential campaign of 2028 is already underway. Did you know that? So Gavin Newsom, Governor of California. This guy is so perfect for me and for other reporters. It's just beyond belief. He's already campaigning. So he goes to South Carolina, something he would never do. Newsom would be Drinking wine up in Napa Valley, South Carolina in July. No way he goes there on Senator Lindsey Graham's birthday. To pound Graham and to pound the big bill. Roll it.

Donald Trump
That bill they just signed that consigns.
- [28:23]
Bill O'Reilly
Are to the greatest transfer of wealth.
- [28:25]
Donald Trump
In US history from one generation to the next. Completely silent kids and grandkids. Trillions and trillions of dollars a day in order to finance the debt to.
- [28:35]
Bill O'Reilly
Provide tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
- [28:37]
Donald Trump
That didn't even ask for them in many cases certainly don't need them.
- [28:41]
Bill O'Reilly
So this is really rich. Pardon upon. So Newsom is going, oh, the big bill is running up our debt. Okay. Newsom took over as the governor of California on January 7, 2019. At that point in time, California had a $21 billion surplus. In Sacramento, they had 21 billion in the bank. How? Because they were the. They're the highest taxed state in the union. You know, New York is almost high now. Today California has $12 billion budget deficit that in five and a half years that Newsom's been governed is a $33 billion spending deficit. 33 billion for one state. And they still don't have enough cops in LA. They still can't fight fires. San Francisco is still ridiculous. They can't control riots. And this guy wants to be President. My God, you would think that. And the chutzpah of him going out and said, oh, look at this big bill. Got to increase the deficit. You 33 billion in five and a half years. A seven year old could have managed the money better than him. You won't get that analysis anywhere else, believe me. All right, the New York Times calls up President Biden. Why? No idea. Biden gives the New York Times 10 minutes. Okay, the reason that the Times called Biden was because it's trying to figure out what the auto pen thing is. I've already figured it out, but apparently the Times way behind me. So Joe Biden is, in his four years of president, signed more than 4,200 individual pardons, the most in the history of the United States by far. Nobody came close to that 4,200 pardons. I guess most of those were in his family, but that's a cheap comment. Okay, 4200. So here's what Biden tells the Times. Quote, hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

The auto pen is, you know, is legal. As, you know, other presidents used it, including Trump. The point is that, you know, we're talking about a whole lot of people. So is 1, 2, 3, 4. You knows in two sentences. And he basically says, look, I knew every one of the pardons, all 4,200. I knew these people and why they were being pardoned. Do you believe that? Does anybody on earth believe that? I don't believe it. He just said to his people, pardon my family, pardon anyone associated with me, Millie, anybody or anybody Trump doesn't like. And here's the auto pan. And you go do it. I'm taking a nap. That's exactly what happened. If the Times had asked, say, picked out 10 pardons, pretty high profile, and say, why was this person pardoned? Mr. President Biden? He couldn't answer. And the Times would never dare ask that question because they know he couldn't answer. Smart life. This is another important story. Please pay attention. As you know, we have a concierge service on billoriley.com you pay about 100 bucks a year. That is about 10 times less than you would pay a life coach or anything like that. And you get a free book as part of the concierge membership. If you get into trouble, you can petition us and we will help you because we care about our viewers and listeners and concierge and premium members. Everybody says that, but we really care about them. All right? And we don't sell your lists. I've told you that before. We keep your privacy 100%. So for 100 bucks, you get insurance, life insurance, if you're a concierge member. So I get a letter from Florida it says, quote, looking for advice. I understand you recommend not to invest on the Internet. However, three years ago, I started a small account, $2,000. And I made regular deposits in a stalking account, Coinbase. It loves to tout how secure and protected they are. But I had a great difficulty assessing my account and was locked out on two occasions through no fault of my own. To get to the point of my request for assistance as a concierge member, I have requested an accounting for all the missing funds. Now approximately $12,000. I get the run around. Now, we're trying to help this guy, but here's how hard it is. We don't know where these people are. And the FBI doesn't know where they are either. They could be in India, they could be in Taiwan, they could be anywhere on the planet. And the concierge member doesn't know where they are. He just sent them money. Don't. Don't. Now, I don't know whether we're going to be able to find Coinbase. I. I don't know. The FBI can. It's not a bank where you can walk in. It's not Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, where you got a staff. It's not a local person with an office who can look out for your money. It's some Internet thing. $12,000. Now, there are two reasons why this happens. One, that people are just gullible. But I have gone over this before. Do not do business on the Internet at all. If you want to order from Amazon, yeah, that's fine. But do not invest. I don't even do the crypto stuff. I'm telling you, I'm not doing it. All right, Smart life. I have a little bit more on this. And final thought. Here are the world's richest people. They don't do business on the Internet. Elon Musk, 347 billion. Mark Zuckerberg, 258. Ellison, Larry Ellison. Oracle, 251 billion. Bezos, 243. Bomber, founder of Microsoft. One, seven, four. And then the last five. You see, Warren Buffett's the only big name on it. You know, look, these guys made their money because it's a change now. It's like in confronting evil, I've got the robber barons. When the US economy started to revolutionize into the modern stuff, these guys made so much money. Same thing in the tech. They all made their money in tech, all right? And they got more money. And that's what Bernie Sanders doesn't like. Stay in history. July 14, 1980. Republican National Convention opens in Detroit, Ronald Reagan is the Star. 45 years ago today. Now, here's how Reagan won the nomination. Quote, he mobilized grassroots conservatives with a clear message of smaller government, lower taxes, a strong anti Communism. President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, faced mounting issues such as high inflation, the Iran hostage crisis. Party infighting, which made voters seek change helps Reagan's message resonate. And Reagan was so much more charismatic than Jimmy Carter. I mean, it was like ridiculous. And then Reagan got the nomination on July 17, 1980. And here's what he said. Go. Thanks to the economic policies of the Democratic Party, millions of Americans find themselves out of work. Millions more have never even had a fair chance to learn new skills, hold a decent job, or secure for themselves and their families.

Prosperity of this nation. It's time to put America back to work. All right, Reagan, very successful president, two terms wax. Jimmy Carter you can read about in confronting the Presidents. We have the whole thing there. It's fascinating. We're going to do a final thought about social media, the Internet for you. It's an extension of smart life. We'll be back in a moment. Okay, final thought. You know, I said that I care about my listeners and my readers and my watchers and everybody associated with us. And I do. And I feel very badly that so many Americans have not protected themselves. You know, they don't have any money. They get to be 70, 75 years old, don't have any money. They're living on a false promise that the government's going to take care of them with entitlement, Social Security, Medicare, whatever it may be. They have no options in life. None. Now, there's two reasons for this. Number one, they're lazy. And I don't think that's my crew. And number two, they're befuddled. They don't understand what the system is. And I can't go door to door in this country. And I know it's not taught in public schools. And you must save money. You must, and you can't waste it. Just like going into a food store and you see something, you know it's being ripped off, don't buy it. Spend a little time to go to a big trunk store. All right, stock up. Be smart, America. Yeah. If you are dependent, if you have no resources, your life is going to be hell. Do you really want that when you're a senior? I see it every day. People don't know what agencies they are entitled to access in their states. Okay, you're getting screwed. The state usually has an agency that can help you. Then you go and you try to get help and you write down the names and everything. You send them to me and I'll make sure they help you. That's what we can do. But you got to help yourself. But if you're younger and you're watching me, you got to put together aside 50 bucks a week or whatever, just throw it in there. My son just started his Roth IRAs. 21. I had a brow beat him to do it. All right? But I said, you, let's go, let's go. All right? And he did. That's the kind of thinking. Did your parents tell you to open up an ira? Mine didn't. My father said save it money. And I listened to that. Probably the only thing I ever listened to him on. But, you know, it almost breaks my heart when I'm reading these letters and people have nothing. They have nothing. No protections. None. You got to protect yourself. Thank you for watching and listening to the no spin news. We'll see you again tomorrow.
