Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Stand up for your country. A lot of people ask me, oh, you do a podcast? And I go, no, we don't do a podcast. This is not a podcast. This is a broadcast. And it is different than what you see on linear television. It is on television, on DirecTV, on the 1st. We have distributors all over the place. But we're not owned by a corporation. We are an independent news agency. And when I designed this whole thing eight years ago, I basically said, we're going to do a program that every day is a benefit to the people who watch us, not just for entertainment value, although we do provide some of that, but for increasing the power of the people. I feel like I'm in the 1960s. So power is needed in America. And you go, why? Why? Why do I need power? Personal power? Why do I need that? To protect yourself in case you get sick, in case you have a tragedy in your home, in case you have a financial setback. You need power. You need to gather as much assets, as many assets as you can. And we try to do that every night, try to give you more information, better information, and steer you into situations that will give you more power. That's what the Smart Life segment's all about every night. Nobody else does that, you know. And I also had people come up to me and they go, oh, we miss you on tv. I know what they're saying. They still see me on TV, on YouTube and things like that. But they missed the linear slot at 8 o' clock where they could just click it and there it is. Okay, I understand the convenience of that, but if you are still living in that linear world, you're not gaining any power at all. Zero. There isn't one program, news program on any of the networks, not one that is designed to increase your personal power. Not one. Every single broadcast is designed to make money for a corporation or in the case of NPR and pbs, just spout propaganda out for ideological purposes. So I just want to get that. I have been thinking about that for a while. And you know, when people don't know the real difference between a broadcast and a podcast, I got that. I mean, come on. Everybody thinks that there are podcasts all over the place, which there are. We're going to have a segment on that. A podcast gone wrong now winds up in court a little later on. Okay, let's get to the news. The Talking Points memo is about the Don Row Doctrine. So everybody knows about the Monroe Doctrine. 1823 President James Monroe basically saying to all the European powers, hey, the Western hemisphere is our, the United States of America's sphere of influence. You stay out. James Monroe, not particularly a macho man, not particularly a strong president, but here he dug in because they in Washington, D.C. didn't want Britain coming back or France or Spain or Portugal or Holland or whoever setting up shop here. All right? Now, they couldn't prevent it totally because there were colonies, you know, in South America. Everybody, every country speaks Spanish except Portugal. Except Brazil. They speak Portuguese, right? Why? Because Portugal ran Brazil and all the other South American countries are run by Spain. And that's where the language difference comes. So Monroe basically said, hold it. We're going to take unilateral action if you get out of line. Now, we have a lot of countries in this hemisphere getting out of line. Enter Donald Trump with the Don Row Doctrine. Very serious. Okay? There are four nations that are deeply involved in the drug trafficking. They are Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador. And they are killing those nations, millions of people all over the world, and hundreds of thousands here in America over the last five years. I'll give you the stats in a moment. So the President of the United States has moved the USS Gerald Ford, our largest strike carrier, to the Caribbean. And he has sent, with that aircraft carrier, eight Navy surface ships, okay? 15,000American troops and the Air Force based out of Puerto Rico, flying around the clock, USF 35 stealth bombers. This is a serious business. And he sent in a message to all four of those countries. Better knock it off. Now, in two of the countries, Venezuela, Maduro and Colombia, he's got a left wing President. The U.S. intel says those leaders are trafficking drugs. They're making money trafficking drugs. Okay? There's not that accusation against Sheinbaum in Mexico or Obra d' or before her. Although Obrador, I'm telling you, shaky. But Sheinbaum, there is not that accusation. But she will not stand up to the cartels, which control more than a third of the country outright. Control it so there's no police, no military. It's cartels shine. Bob does nothing. She's afraid for her own personal safety. If I were her, I resign. And I'd move someplace else. Because you shouldn't be the president of a country if you're afraid of the criminal element. Come on. So it's up to the United States to do something about it, but many Americans don't want to. President Biden had no interest at all in this. None. He helped the drug cartels. He opened the border so they could make more money. With the flood of narcotics coming in here, including fentanyl, I didn't care. Didn't care what they did. They ran wild for four years. Trump cares. And I talked about this with the president one on one in a dinner in his first term. And I said, the only way you're going to stop this is using the US Military. So President Trump designated the drug cartels as terrorists. That means he doesn't have to get congressional approval to take military action against them. And so far, 22 vessels have been blown out of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific. 83 people at least, dead. Democratic Party doesn't like it. Rand Paul, a Republican senator from Kentucky, doesn't like it. They want due process. Well, it's impossible. Due process doesn't work. It never works when you have international smuggling operations. So you either want to solve the problem or you don't. There's only one way to solve it, and that is to eliminate the terrorists who are running the cartels. And that's what is happening now. Americans are very, very slow to catch on. If you go out today after watching this broadcast and you say, hey, what about the Don Row doctrine? You know what's going on? Everybody. What? What? Because the networks and the cable are too busy reporting about Epstein. What might be the. Oh, yeah, no, hey, we're setting ourselves up for military conflict here. Nah, come on. We are going to get Epstein. So the cartels in Mexico, they kill hundreds of thousands of people down there, and nobody is safe. They'll kill a governor and the mayor and the journalists, everybody. And the judges can't sentence them because they'll get killed. And not only do cartels kill the people, they kill their families. Come on. Come on. By the end of 2023 in Venezuela, the blood was flowing because Maduro was, according to U.S. intel, working with the drug cartels. It was murder after murder after murder, and none of them solved. And the same thing in Colombia. Colombia? A country on the Caribbean Sea. All right. And then it does have Pacific port. They get $15 billion. 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.

$15 billion a year they make from drug trafficking in Colombia. Ecuador has the highest murder rate in the Western hemisphere. Do you know that? It wants peaceful country Galapagos right off Guayaquil. Not now. Murder everywhere. Okay? So that's where we are. And in America itself. We Americans spend more than $100 billion a year on illegal narcotics. 100 billion. We are the problem. We are enriching the cartels. 500,000Americans at least have died from drug overdoses in the past five years. Half a million. Okay. And still nothing being done about it. Some dealers are put in jail, some not. Here in New York City, you can sell heroin on the street, you won't get anything. Drug addicts run wild. They Sit there and inject themselves in front of school children. They steal, they shoplift, they prostitute themselves. They're homeless. Most of the homeless are drug addicted. They ruin neighborhoods. They pollute the environment. Nothing happens to them. Nothing. It used to be America would sanction those drug addicts, but now progressive left. No, no. It's a disease. No treatment. Most of the drug addicts, according to every study, don't want treatment. They want to get high. They want to live their lives in a state of inebriation. That's what they want. And if they have to steal, they'll steal Child abuse and neglect because many of these drug addicts have children off the chart. The state do anything once in a while, take kids away, and then where do the kids go? Some lousy foster home because the parents are high. It just drives me nuts, okay? Because this country is responsible for all. It is horror. And if you're buying drugs, you are helping a cartel. Okay? So I expect Trump to continue to track crackdown. He's got three years left. He hates this stuff because his brother died of alcoholism. And I've had addiction and alcoholism in my family as well. And I hate this stuff. And I'm glad the President listened to me when I had that conversation with him. What was it, six years ago? So one way, only way. And now it's happening. And that's a memo. All right. In better news, Mohammed bin Salman, who runs Saudi Arabia, came to Washington big dog and pony show and announced $1 trillion that the Saudis are going to invest in America. That made Trump real happy. Trillion. That's a lot of jack. Saudis are going to buy planes, they're going to buy rockets, they're going to buy New York Yankee jerseys. I don't know what else they're going to buy. But we're friends, and that's a good thing. Now, Biden hated the Saudis because the Saudis assassinated a journalist. Khashoggi. Remember that, Biden, for four years they had nothing going back and forth between Saudi Arabia and America because Khashoggi got assassinated, which was wrong. It was absolutely wrong. You know, but you don't wreck your foreign policy and hurt your country. So Trump and Saudi Arabia are like this. And Trump says this is what's good for America. Okay? So that took place today, and also taking place today was the vote in the House of Representatives about abstinence data. And it's going to be released. Yeah, Will. All right. And then it's going to go to the Senate. I don't know what The Senate's going to do. Thune can block it, but I assume they'll vote and they'll release the data. Trump will sign a release, and I got no problem with that, as long as what comes out of the Justice Department is verified. I want you to play just one sound bite on this, because this is the key sound bite. I was on Cuomo last week with Stephen A. Smith. Here's what I said. Go. If you are asking for unverified information about a heinous crime and criminal to be given to the public. Unverified. Now, remember, the Justice Department under two administrations had this information, not verified it. If that's what you want, then you need to read my book, Killing the Witches, because that's the kind of country we'll have. Now, Chris Cuomo said it's not what they want. That's exactly what they want. They being the Democratic Party, trying to get something to link Trump to Epstein and a lot of American citizens, a lot, perhaps most all right, they want all of it. But then you're going to get the vigilantes who are going to say, look at that name. Look at that name. Look at that. He met with Epstein, and maybe the meeting was harmless. Unless there's a criminal connection and you put that stuff out, you're going to ruin people's lives. You are. And you're not going to be able to confirm what happened. You have no investigative authority at all. None. I don't have investigative authority. I can do investigations with my staff, but I don't have subpoena power. I don't know what happened, but I do know this. Whatever is released, I will know. Whether it is legitimate or not, I will know, and I will tell you. Food stamps, snap. All right, so the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This is designed, of course, to help poor people have nutritious food. That's a good program. Under President Biden, it reached record spending. Of course, everything under President Biden reached record spending. All right? $128 billion a year on food stamps. Okay? The present budget is about 100 billion. They're cutting it back, and the liberals are screaming, oh, people aren't having enough to eat. Okay? Let me tell you tell you the truth about it. So this is being overseen by the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins. Okay, I don't know her. I didn't even know who the Secretary of Agriculture was until we started to research this. They want to tighten it up so that work requirements. You got to look for a job if you want to get food stamps, just like Medicaid got to look for a job, so it stopped under Biden at 54. After 54 you didn't have to look. They're raising that to 64. If you can't find a job, all you have to do is volunteer for your church or your food pantry or wherever. But you got to do something to get it. And then they're dropping the food stamps for 18 year olds down to 14 year olds because the scam was this.

B
Deals that people would say, look, I have a dependent who's 18. You got to give me food stamps for that person. Many times. Person wasn't even living in the house. The 18 year old gone. So they're tightening that up and they're doing a number of other things because the agricultural department found out that 186,000Americans who received food stamps were dead. Dead. Nobody came back. They kept sending the food stamps to the address where the person lived or the person was dead and whoever in the house just took the supplemental stamps, okay? And it was colossal. And that was just one thing. And so far the Trump administration removed 700,000 people off food stamps that didn't qualify for them. 700,000 and of course, the left starving everybody. That's what's going on there. Medicare B. So Medicare B is ambulance services, outpatient, some prescription drugs, medical equipment in the house. So you need some oxygen. That's Medicare B. It's going up 10% in 26. All medical costs are rising, but this one hits older people. So you're going to pay more for Medicare B. Not a lot more. Looks to be about 20 bucks more for the premium. And. But that's going to continue to rise and rise and rise because the medical profession is, you know, that's what it is. They'll get as much as they can get. So you're going to get hit, but that's not going to cripple you. There is a big problem in this country, obviously, with a $38 trillion debt. We just give away too much stuff. And the grifters are everywhere and the fraud is everywhere. And I'm glad the Trump administration's finally looking at it. Biden did nothing. All right, podcast. Two million podcasts in America, and we don't do a podcast. So if you account in us, then you have to go down one. All right. Many of them are irresponsible. They're just people spouting, saying whatever they want to say. They don't think there's any accountability. Well, there is now because a lawsuit has been filed in New York State by a man named Robert o'. Neill. Now, if you read my book, Killing the Killers, you know, Robert o' Neill is. He's a former Navy SEAL who is credited with killing Osama bin Laden in the raid on bin Laden's compound. May 2, 2011, Pakistan. Okay, we open Killing Killers. It is harrowing what happened in that raid. Robert o' Neill pulled the trigger and ended bin Laden's life. We checked it every way we could possibly check it. It's in the book. We believe it happened. Well, there's a podcast, two guys that say o' Neill's a fraud. He didn't kill him. Bin Laden. Now we've got to look at ONeills resume. Two Silver Stars, four Bronze Medals, Joint Service Accommodation Medal, three Presidential Unit Citations, two Navy and Marine Corps Accommodation Medals. I mean, the guy was in the Navy 16 years. He's one of the most decorated officers, she petty officer, and now these two are saying he's a fraud. So joining us now from New York City is Senior Chief Petty Officer Robert o', Neill, retired. Now, did I sum that up accurately? Did I miss anything or misstate anything?
- [25:48]
F
Oh, thank you for that, Mr. O'Reilly. It's good to be back with you. The only little thing is all four bronze stars have valor. One of the Navy Marine Corps commendations has valor. The joint service combination has valor. And Silver stars do not come with valor. It's just assumed gallantry against the enemy. No, that was good. And it's the case, too. It's just like you said, with millions of podcasts, people can say whatever they want and then there's really no accountability. And these guys have been coming after me for a solid two years now. And I've listened to it a bunch of times. I don't like hearing it. And I've heard stuff because this is a very high profile mission. I was actually involved with the most high profile missions to include rescuing the lone survivor, Marcus Luttrell. I was the lead jumper to rescue Richard Phillips from Somali pirates. And I was the guy that ended up shooting Osama bin Laden. And I've heard stuff, and I do, from other veterans towards other veterans. I'm tired of the vet on vet hate, but when my college age daughter started calling me, having trouble sleeping at night and going to bed crying because their father's a fraud, everything he did was a lie. It starts to get to me. And these are the same girls that when I. One of my daughters was three, when I left to go after Osama bin Laden, I wasn't allowed to tell her or my family where I was going. I was pretty sure I wasn't coming back. I was saying goodbye to her for the last time and she ran upstairs, got a hello Kitty carry on, put Mr. Elephant and a pillow in it, and said, take me on vacation when you get back. That's enough to live with right there. We did come back and we lived. And then, you know, 14 or however many years later to hear it's all fake, it's all made up, and I'm a fraud. There is a time to stand up to bullies in everyone's life, and this is just my time again to go find a bully and win.
- [27:17]
B
All right, what are you suing for?
- [27:21]
F
Well, I'm suing them for defamation because they've been.
- [27:24]
B
Defamation. They're defaming your character, calling you a liar, and you're suing them. Why do you think these guys are doing it? There are two of them, right? Brent Tucker and Tyler Hoover. Those are the two guys you're suing?
- [27:40]
F
Those are the two main guys. Brent Tucker in particular, he's the former operator at a tier one unit for the army, which is a stellar unit. I Mean, it's almost surprising too that the unit is letting him be the face of the unit. But that's what they're doing. And I'm going after them because they're in talks with people behind the scenes that are just telling them different stuff. They're basing it on an after actions report that we gave after the bin Laden raid. And there was a guy who was actually just on Sean Ryan's show last week. He was on the raid too. He based his book no Easy Day on the after action report. That isn't quite true, but he went on Sean Ryan's show and admitted that he shot bin Laden after he's dead. So the two things that were left out that I purposely left out of the after action one, Amal bin Laden was shot before I got there. She got shot somehow. And then other guys shot bin Laden after I had killed him. I left them out of that on purpose because a lot of stuff doesn't need to go, all right, all right.
- [28:28]
B
But that'll all be adjudicated in the court of law. What I'm trying to get at here is why do these guys want to do this to you? There's enough evidence that says what you did happened. You got guys in your unit, you got the commander. Because we checked all that out before we put it in killing the killers. Okay, so why would these guys want to go up against that? Is there a reason?

OK, only 10 more presents to wrap. You're almost at the finish line. But first. There, the last one. Enjoy a Coca Cola for a pause that refreshes.
- [29:48]
F
Well, I mean, there's got to be a reason. It's got to be peppered with jealousy and some of it could be post traumatic.
- [29:53]
B
So you don't know these guys? You never talked to them? Never met.
- [29:57]
F
I've never, never met him. I was at my mom's house in Butte, Montana, and it came across one of my feeds where this guy Brent Tucker was saying I know for a fact, fact that Rob o' Neal did not kill bin Laden. And I even responded to him, which is a mistake because it gave him credit or it gave him Some eyes on. And I just said, I think my first response was, dude, I don't even know you right now. Without question, I know exactly what happened.
- [30:19]
B
This is New York State. It's going to take you years to get this into the courtroom and the lawyer fees and all that. You got a guy working pro duono on your behalf. Are you paying him, the lawyer?
- [30:30]
F
Yeah, I've hired a firm to help me out. David Schwartz is helping me out, and we've gone through a lot of research. We've gotten. I've gotten. You know, I even got it like. Like, you probably talked to Admiral Bill McRaven, who was overall in charge. We talked to Barack Obama. I've got a letter that he wrote from him. And I had to tell him as well, I don't want to do this. I would appreciate a letter. And he obviously said, well, of course I'll help you. And I. I said, what do I owe you? And he said, you already did it. And that's. I mean, that's something about the nobility.
- [30:55]
B
You're going to win. It's just going to take forever. And then this is New York State. Okay. They designed the whole civil legal system to enrich the attorneys, to keep it going for years and years and years. That's what they do. So say at the end, you win. These guys don't have money to pay you off big time. The two podcasters, they don't have anything.
- [31:24]
F
Well, I mean, I don't. I don't. I don't think I'm gonna. I'm. I'm. I have the truth on my side, so I'm not worried. I don't think anybody wins. It's not like I want to do this.
- [31:32]
B
No. All right. But. But I'm going in the legal system, so there's going to be a jury trial unless these two guys settle. And, I don't know, maybe you would settle with them. I don't know. But it's gonna be a jury, and they're gonna say, no, this is all bull. And, you know, these guys attacked them, and they were malicious in doing it, and it's a defamatory system. So they got to pay Robert o' Neill this much money, which they're not going to be able to pay. So you're. And correct me if I'm wrong, this just looks like you want a righteous action against what you believe is very wrong. That's what it looks like to me.
- [32:09]
F
Yeah, that's. That's very correct, Mr. O'Reilly. And it will also be a stand for the vet on vet. Hey, this is not, I'm not, I'm, I am the first veteran they've attacked. But, but they've then gone on to attack everybody else. And they're part of the bothers me too, is they're really taking joy in watching them destroy.
- [32:24]
B
I don't think you're going to be taking a lot of joy, Robert, when they have to show up in New York and hire defense attorneys and everything else.
- [32:32]
F
I know that's, they're not going to.
- [32:34]
B
Be so joyful about that. I mean, you're putting the wood to them.
- [32:38]
F
I know. And you know what really made me decide that, too is he got on his new podcast that he renamed as a positive thing. He did an hour and a half trashing me and he said if I was lying about Rob o', Neill, he'd sue me. So here we are.
- [32:49]
B
Okay. All right. We're going to follow the case. We, of course, admire your service. We, the story about your daughter is very troubling to me because I know that's true and I know that people who are attacked in the public arena, their family gets crushed. And that alone is worth going after these people. So you keep us posted about what happens. Mr. O', Neill, thank you very much for everything you've done for this country. And we'll talk again soon. Okay.
- [33:21]
F
All honor and thanks for having me, Mr. O'Reilly.
- [33:24]
B
All right. All right, back with the final thought. O'Reilly and Mandel in a moment. Final thought of the day. As you know, we're out in LA recently did a bunch of stuff, Martin and Billy Bush and Howie Mandel. Now, Howie Mandel is a podcast. Howie Mandel does stuff. He's on it with his daughter, who's very liberal, and I had to explain capitalism to her. Roll it. So there is a pathway to success in capitalism that means that you isolate your talent. So I've always loved your father's humor. I don't know why there's something wrong with me, but he just cracks me up. It's Dad. I want to see him.
- [34:12]
A
Dad jokes.
- [34:12]
B
I went to see him. Somebody thinks you guys. Yeah. Were you somebody? Why didn't you come back and say hi? I did, but you were so stoned. You didn't, you didn't know it was me. You might have been. No, no, no. I, I, I did greet him and then he acknowledged me on the stage. But he just, he just makes me laugh because he's timing is perfect. All right. And I'm correct, I'm amazing. And you love this interview ever. Just keep complimenting. When I was, when I was walking into the theater at Westbury, everybody knows me. And they go, oh, why are you coming to see Howie? I go, because the guy's blank and funny. All right, so. But there's more to it than that. So he knew that he was born, that God gave him this sense of humor. Okay. And he paid the price to work his way up to affluence and prominence. That's capitalism. All right, so we had a good time with the Mandels. I think you will, too. Howie Mandel does stuff. It is a legitimate podcast have. So I hope you watch it. And he actually read Confronting Evil. He told me he doesn't read many books, but he was enthralled by evil. So I thank Howie for and his daughter for putting up with me. And I thank you for watching this edition of the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again tomorrow.
