Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News. Wednesday, February 26, 2025 stand up for YOUR country. Well, the deal making continues at the White House. And the latest is when I predicted that Ukraine and the USA will sign a contract for America to harvest minerals on Ukrainian soil. Wow, this is pretty interesting. Now some of the deals that Donald Trump is making I think are good. Others are questionable. Of give you an example of that, the tariffs. So I understand in theory why Trump is doing this. He's tired of countries like Mexico and Canada and China getting a lot more money from us than pumping back into our economy. I got it. But the tariffs could adversely affect American workers. For example, in the car industry, if the price of American cars goes up and under tariffs, those prices will, there'll be fewer cars sold. So we don't know about the tariffs. Could work out. Trump thinks it will, but we don't know. But this Ukraine deal I think is a pretty good one. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So here's what it says. Ready? And I'm probably the only one going to tell you exactly what it says. The US And Ukraine have agreed to establish an investment fund drawing money from as yet untapped seams of Ukraine's wealth of rare earth minerals. We're talking lithium. We're talking, you know, a whole bunch of stuff that is in the Ukraine that they can't get out. But we could because we have much better technology. All right, Both countries would then use this fund to, to invest in Ukraine's reconstruction and security. Okay, but the money that the minerals gather would not be used to pay back America's assistance, which is about what, $170 billion so far in our war, something like that. Okay, it would not be used for that, but that's a sleight of hand because all profits from the mineral extraction and there would be billions of dollars in profits would be split 50, 50 between Kiev and Washington. So money would be coming back into the U.S. treasury. It's not a quid pro quo, it's not a payback. But we would be getting money, our Treasury. So that would help defray the money we sent over there. It's a good deal. It's a good deal. And Zelensky is coming on Friday to sign it. But here's the most important part of the deal, and I mentioned this before, you have a situation where Putin is probably going to sign a ceasefire with Trump, but nobody trusts Putin. Six months down the lane, he could say, and go back in. But if there's American structure in Ukraine, American workers, American security, American equipment, much harder for bad Vlad to do that because once he attacks U.S. interests, they. Okay, so now you have the scenario. I think that's a very fair assessment. By the way, if you disagree. Bill@Billo Reilly.com Bill@Billorilly.com Name in town. So the media's reaction was negative to the deal because everything Donald Trump does is bad. Here are the outlets that criticize Trump over the mineral. CNN, ABC News, New York Times, LA Times, MSNBC, Washington Post, Daily Mail, BBC, New York Post, editorial board, Financial Times and Forbes. That's just a partial list. Okay. And I just play one far left crank. Go. But the Trump alternative is a kind of almost gangsterism. I mean, today we've got this news about the mineral deal, right? Like, what's in it for me? What's in it for us? Give us your mineral, give us your.
A
Treasure or we won't protect you.
B
That's not what the deal says. So, I mean, look, I'll deal with MSNBC a little bit later on, but if you guys. Nobody's watching. And I understand now on News Nation there was a balanced approach. Go.
A
Suddenly the United States has a stake in Ukraine surviving as a nation. And given that the war aims repeatedly announced by Putin is the extinguishment of the state of Ukraine, this might also be a win for Ukraine.
B
Of course it's a win for Ukraine. They're in business with us Come on. So that's the way to report it fairly. I mean, you. Maybe it won't work out. Maybe Putin will give a hoot, I don't know. But Trump is at least trying, okay? He's playing a chess game with Putin. And that's the memo, okay? Now there is a war between the President and the American press. You know, we've been over this. I think we have the best reportage. And I talked about this on Hannity's radio program. This is fascinating and I hope you listen to it on billoriley.com because we have it posted. So I disagree with Hannity. Hannity says that Trump is not trying to seek retribution against the US Media. No, he is. And Hannity makes his argument, I make mine. You can decide who's stronger, okay? He absolutely is. Trump wants to punish the corrupt American media. And in my. It's so obvious, okay? But I'm glad how he disagreed because that makes a better debate. It makes a better debate. So today on True Social, here's what Trump says, quote, as a president who's being given credit for having the best opening month of any president in history, quite naturally here come the fake books and stories with the so called anonymous or off the record quotes. At some point, I'm going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers or even media in general, find out whether or not these anonymous sources even exist, which they largely do not. Unquote. Now, Trump has already sued ABC, Disney, and he won $17 million for his library. CBS, 60 Minutes for the Kamala Harris interview. They'll settle with Trump. And he's got a couple of other lawsuits in play against media operations, okay? He booted the ap, not giving them access, direct access to him, and on and on and on and on. And this is no accident, okay? Because all of these media outlets have tried to hurt him. And now he's the most powerful man in the world and he's saying, hey, pay back time. Exactly. What's happening? Is it wrong? No. As I told Hannity, if the President sees corruption in the country, whether it matter where it is, if you're the President and you see it, you got to try to do something about it. You're the President. Simple as that. I do it. We finally beat Medicare. He's right. He did beat Medicaid. Beat it to death.
A
Joe Biden's legacy for seniors. He raided Medicare, made premiums skyrocket and drove up drug costs. Worse, the Biden pill penalty is already slashing the development of affordable drugs. Forcing seniors to pay the price of Biden's failed policy. Biden broke Medicare, but President Trump can fix it. Call Congress and urge them to end the Biden pill penalty.

B
All right. Immigration. This is like, every day there's four or five unbelievable stories coming out of the Trump White House. So now Trump has signed an executive order called Protecting the American People Against Invasion. As part of that order, all aliens 14 years of age or older have to register with the federal government and be fingerprinted. Okay? And if you do not, you can be arrested by ICE and put in jail if you're convicted. Okay? Now, I've been saying this for years, that when you have 20 million, 10 million, 15, whatever it may be, people unsupervised in this country, people you don't even know who they are, okay? Because the government knows who I am. And you, by the census, by your tax return, they know where we live. But these people just snuck in and the government has no idea. You got to know. You have to know or they can do damage. Unbelievable amount of damage. So I always said you have to have some registration. Now, here is a sound bite from September 19, 2024, about six months ago. Roll the tape. So what does mass deportation mean? Nobody knows what it means because Donald Trump has not, and I don't think can define what it means. He doesn't know. It's a great slogan, big applause line. Every time he says it mobilizes his base. But how are you going to do it? Now, there's a way. And I'm going to tell you once again, I'm sorry to be repetitive, but this is the way you do it, okay? You can't have people kicking doors in, chasing people around. Can't do that. What you can do is say to anyone in this country without documentation, you have three months. I had it originally at six, but I'd bring it down to three. You have three months, 90 days to register with your local post office. Each post office will have a registration form. You're to fill it out and then you send it to Homeland Security on an envelope that's already given to you and the government pays the stamp. If you do not fill out the form and the form and say, who are you? What country do you come from? Where are you living? Do you have a job, do you have dependents, children, that kind of thing. It's a questionnaire. If you don't do it within 90 days and you're caught by the authorities, local, state, federal, you deport it without a hearing. All right, so Trump is up that to criminal prosecution. So it's the same thing, you know, and I'm kind of proud that when I put this stuff out, I know the President of the United States knows what I'm saying. You saw it with the terrorist designation for the Mexican drug cartels. All right, But I actually had a face to face conversation with him about that. I didn't have a face to face conversation about how to register illegal aliens. But he knows my commentary. He you got to do it. But again, you do it, then the left doesn't like it. Roll the tape. This is why President Trump has people thinking he has some dark tendencies. Why a registry smacks of dark periods of our history.
A
The idea that you want people 14.
B
Or older to be required to submit fingerprints and home addresses to the government, and if they fail to register, they could be fined five grand, sentenced to six months in prison. Why is that dark? You got to have control over who's in your country. So if there's a criminal from Paraguay and there's no DNA and no fingerprint and nothing on the man or the woman, the authorities are powerless unless they catch him in the act. So if they investigate and they find fingerprints, they can't match him. Now, I'm going to be on Cuomo tonight. I don't know if we're going to talk about this his show, it's up to him, but I'll be happy to debate him on it. It's not dark, it's protective, protecting the American people. You know, it's all about virtue signaling. I'm not accusing Cuomo that, but. Oh, no, we can't do that. We can't, we can't. We have to let them go. I know people. If you are a drug dealer selling fentanyl and heroin and you are in this country illegally and there millions that are doing that, okay? And you have a girlfriend in the house knowing that you're selling hard drugs, but the girlfriend isn't selling and doesn't have a record, the liberal go, oh, you can't deport that girlfriend. Yeah, you. Can you round up everybody in the House? The Gulf is so huge, it's never going to be breached ever. It's too late. It's like the 1850s south, north. Okay. You want to get American passport, 5 million bucks. So Trump goes, let him tell you. Go. They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people. And we think it's going to be extremely successful. Double problems. Number one, President can't do that. Congress has to do that. So if you pay $5 million for American citizenship, Congress has to okay it. That's a law. Trump can't just go, I'm going to invent the law. Can't. But he wants to. Now. It makes me a little uneasy. So. So Putin could get that. Did you know Putin's the richest man in the world? I bet you didn't know that. Or you will after you read Confronting Evil and we show you exactly how he did it. So Putin could buy a U.S. passport. Now, I assume that ICE and the federal government, if this is passed by Congress and it 50, 50 on it, I assume they'll be checking people's backgrounds. But the reason that Trump is doing this is economics. So if people want to pay 5 million bucks for a US passport, and then they would have to do certain things to be a full blood citizen, but they'd have a passport. Trump's going to take their money because he believes that those kinds of people will bring money into this country. And that's what Trump's all about. Capitalism. Hyper capitalist. Okay. The other countries that a lot of countries do this if you want to cut rate. Passport. I looked into this. Uruguay. That's the easiest passport to get in the world. Uruguay. I've been there. When I covered the Falklands War, I was there as the British ship came in with all the wounded on it after they were exoccited by the Argentine air force. I was in Montevideo. Uruguay is a nice country. Never gets any press. It's got a nice beach thing, Punta del Este. Montevideo is okay town. But if you want get out of here, America, and you don't have 5 million, you get out of your way, they'll make a deal with you. Now, other countries, Portugal and a lot of Americans over there. Okay. Malta. I was just there in the spring. Last spring. Maltese would love to have you there. Saint Kitts Nevis in the Caribbean. Beautiful. Gorgeous though. Take you Turkey. I don't know about that Turkey. But if you got 400,000 to invest in Turkey, you can get a passport, maybe. We asked New York City Mayor Adams about that big on the Turk thing. Okay. So I don't know whether this is going to happen because I don't know whether Congress is going to do this or not. I'm not going to be outraged if it happens. It makes me a little uneasy, but I understand. I get the fiscal picture. Mexico. All right. Just crossed my desk. So apparently in January, a Texas. Texas authorities saw a IED improvised explosive device blow up on the Mexican side of the river. Okay. Of the Rio Grande in Brownsville. And a farmer and somebody else were killed in the explosion. And it was a cartel. So the Mexican drug cartels now have IEDs. Okay. The state Department has a warning for Americans. Warning says that high crime, kidnappings and ongoing violence between the drug cartels themselves and Americans are getting caught in it. And I continue to say. Well, again, let me have a soundbite. Go. Now. I did a Smart Life segment a few months ago, said don't go to China, to Mexico. I'd rather go to China. If I had a business reason to go to China, I'd go find a business reason to go to Mexico. I would not. Not going to Mexico. Okay. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. Hurting the usa. Yep. If you go to Mexico and you get in trouble in any way, shape or form, no one's going to help you. No one. You're driving around down there, you're putting yourself at extreme risk, not only from the gangsters, but from the cops. They'll shake you down. I am going to China because now I have a reason to go. Gonna go to China in the spring. Not for long, but I have business due over there as we expand our media empire all over the world. All right, FBI. So cash Patel, I would have voted for him. I understand he's a partisan, he's a Trump loyalist, but that's okay as long as he does a good job. And now the Washington Times, which is pretty good. It's an ideological right wing paper, but they're pretty good. They say that Patel is going to launch a investigation into former FBI director James Comey. Is what the Washington Times is reporting. Allegedly, Comey put two FBI operatives, women.

In 2015 to try to compromise people in that campaign, the operatives the FBI operatives of slang for them is honeypots that they're supposed to get romantically involved with people that the FBI wants to know about. Happens all over the world. But when you do that to a potential presidential candidate, then you got problems. So if that's true, James Comey is in huge trouble because that would be abuse of power felony. I don't know where it's going to go. I don't know whether it happened or not. I don't know anything about it. But I do believe that this is a true story that Patel is going to investigate Comey. Where is Comey now? He's an author. He writes novels. So I think he still lives in the D.C. area. You know he writes, he writes novel bad guy. One of Trump's biggest mistakes was holding him over as FBI chief. And Trump will tell you that budget vote last night, most boring story on earth passed by one vote because even though the Republicans have a three person majority in the House and that'll expand soon as new Republican congresspeople get in because they have to be votes and things like that. Thomas Massie from Kentucky, Republican congressperson. He's not really a Republican. I don't know what he is but he just won't vote for anything Republican. So Democrats like right there, all the Democrats voted against a new spending bill. Why? Because they were told to. That's it. Democratic Party in the House is like this. You don't you get out of there, you're dead. They'll campaign against you. They won't give you any money. They'll primary you. So they all voted against every single one. And that's whenever you have anything that is promoted by the Republican Party. All the Democrats can vote against it unless it's emotional like the border or something like that. It's the only exception anyway, so the now it goes to the Senate and the spending bill. Okay. You know, on and on and on and on. I'm glad the Trump administration is trying to bring the spending down. Will they be successful? I don't know because the big spending is in the entitlement, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, money to the states and the Defense Department. I don't know whether that will be successful. Let's go back to the media madness. So as we mentioned, MSNBC is dot. And I believe there was a one commentator who predicted that would happen. Go. MSNBC is finished. Now this is another incredible underreported story, but I am your media guy. 50 years in January. Okay, so MSNBC is a hateful and I mean that literally far left network. Everybody knows that its baseline of operations is between in prime time, a million and 2 million viewers. It's nothing. Okay, So I said that in November and it came true. So yesterday MSNBC laid off 100 people. They fired Joy Reid, they fired some other radical leftists and it's just chaos in there. But their top commentator, Rachel Maddow did something very unusual. Go. I will tell you it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two.
C
Non white hosts in primetime.
B
Both of our non white hosts in.
C
Primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend. And that feels worse than bad. No matter who replaces them. That feels indefensible and I do not defend it.
B
Whoa. So now Maddow calling her own network, which is NBC Comcast, racist. It's not racist. It's afraid. Kamka is afraid of Trump. That's why these people get boo knocked because they're black or whatever. But I'll tell you, I'll tell you this, Ms. Maddow is about as misguided as they come. I don't watch her very much because I know what the song is going to be. Once you hear a song 10,000 times, you don't want to hear it anymore. She got guts though, I'll tell you that. You got going on there and saying that and they can't do a thing to her. They can't touch her. Jon Stewart. So Stewart pretty much out of the game, but he's still in the bubble. I know Stewart pretty well and you know my history with him and I like him. And every time I go on his show or vice versa, it always Works. And he is respectful and I respect him. Him now he lives in a left wing liberal bubble. That's where he lives. All right. But he's not a hater so much. He's passionate about his belief system, but I never seen the hatred there. He's only on one day a week on Comedy Central. Now, he doesn't really look like he wants to do this anymore, but he's still amazingly talented. So the other day he goes on television and he's really angry about the federal government, both Biden and Trump not being able to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to bring down the cost of prescription drugs. And I agree 100% with that 100% we got to do. The federal government has got to get these pharmaceutical companies to be more reasonable because people are suffering and they can't get the drugs now. Yeah. These American companies invest billions of dollars to develop the drugs. We have it. But they have a responsibility to the folks. Stewart's crazed about this. Go.
A
The companies we subsidize with billions of dollars are allowing us the privilege to negotiate the price of 10 of their drugs. And 10 is all of them. Right. It would be embarrassing if it was a small drop in the bucket and that the American people didn't expect that we should negotiate for all their drugs.
B
Because we've already paid for it with our subsidies. Are you saying.
A
Come on.
B
I'll be going to the hospital. Well, we hope he's okay. Stewart's condition, he got stitches. And look, he's passionate about it. I like that. I a few times got a little feisty on air myself. Hello, Barney. Frank. Hello, Geraldo. Do I know. I'm. I know exactly what he's doing. Stuart. I'm going to do a more extensive analysis on him on our YouTube channel. I'll tell you about that in a moment. You want to sign up for that? And concierge and Premium membership on Billorelli.com all three of those will enhance your life. But anyway, that's what Stuart has been up to. Smart life Fast food. So there is a website called Barbecue Lab. No idea. No idea. I have no idea. But they put out a fast food survey. Okay. And they asked all just thousands of Americans about fast food. And here's what they come up with. One third of the entire American population eats fast food on any given day. That seems high to me. People ages 2039 eat the most. Men consume more than women. 83% of American families eat at a fast food restaurant once a week. 83%. That sounds high to me. Okay. Average American spends 10% of his or her annual income on fast food. 34% of children eat fast food every day.

I guess maybe the counting pizza in there. McDonald's is the most popular chain, $130 billion grossed in the USA a year. So the health risks average fast food meal is 836 calories, not counting the sugar drink. So you're well over a thousand. And your whole daily diet is 2,000 calories. So you're going to get fat. If you eat a lot of fast food, you will. That's just a fact. And you have a 50% higher chance of dying from heart disease if you eat fast food on a regular basis. All right. Thought you'd like that in the smart life thing. I don't eat it anymore. I can't remember the last time I went to a fast food place. No, I can't. I was in California over Christmas vacation. In and out burger. It was so good I can't even describe it. That was last time. I do eat pizza once a week. My limit, my pizza to once a week. All right. We have a poll on bill o'reilly.com about the booing. Okay, so you Remember, Donald Trump is giving Canada a little jazz, a little poke, saying it should be the 51st state. And in a hockey game between the USA and Canada, here's what happened. Yeah. All right, so we have a poll. Are you upset with Canadians for booing the U.S. national anthem? A lot of people voted yes, 60% no, 40%. All right, I am not upset. If I are a Canadian, I probably vote boo too. If Trudeau said, hey, America is the worst country in the world, we hate you, and then they play doh. Canada, I probably boo. So I can't be a hypocrite here. I say in history. February 26, 1986, 38 years ago, Ronald Reagan is scolded publicly by the U.S. senate. Iran Contra. Here's what happened. So you will remember that Reagan was inaugurated in 1981. And the day he was inaugurated, Iran released the hostages, 52 of them that Jimmy Carter couldn't get released. That's one of the reasons Carter lost Reagan. Subsequently, some members of the Reagan administration made a deal with the mullahs that we would sell Iran weapons for cash. Ponied up cash. And then when the cash came to DC, it was given to the Contras in Nicaragua. Now, that deal was not sanctioned by Congress. It was illegal. Illegal to do that. Oliver north did it. Colonel Oliver North. He was a member of the Reagan administration and he had the power to make this deal, apparently. And Reagan said he didn't know anything about it. Okay? Now, north was charged with crimes. He was convicted aiding and abetting obstruction of Congress, destroying documents, accepting illegal gratuities. Never went to prison. His conviction was overturned. But it was bad, very bad. So the Tower Commission came to this conclusion. Okay, quote, president Reagan appears to have proceeded with the concept of the initiative that was not accurately reflected in the reality of the operation. President did not seem aware of the way in which the operation was implemented and the full consequences of US participation, unquote. And that is true if you reconfront the presidents and killing Reagan. We show you that Reagan's management style was not micro. He didn't know what they were doing. Anyway, Reagan got scolded by the Senate 38 years ago today. Back with a final thought in a moment. Here is the final thought of the day. We are off tomorrow. Two reasons my staff work Martin Luther King and President's Day, so I owe them. And Holly is not in great shape. She got swelling on the brain. So last night I was up most of the night with the dog and I stabilized her. I should be a vet now. I got great vets, and we're trying to keep Holly alive. This is basically the bottom line on this. And she was better today, much better. But I got to spend a lot of time on this. Now, Holly is part of the family, and you're the same thing. If you have pets, you're part of the family. And my philosophy is I have an obligation to protect anyone in my charge. That doesn't just mean family members, means anybody. Okay? In my sphere, my obligation is to protect them, and that extends to Holly. So I'm doing everything in my power. So last night was a rough one, and I got a monitor. The next few days, that's what we will do. St Francis would take all kinds of prayers to him, patron saint of all the animals. And, you know, I tell you this because I want to be upfront about it. You know, we're not just slacking off tomorrow. There's a reason, and I'm glad my staff is getting a breather as well. So we'd like you to, billoraley.com come out and see us on a tour. We'll have a lot of laughs. We'll have some fun and become a premium concierge member and get a free book, any book you want. So we're trying. I think you know that. And we'll see you again on Monday.
