Bill O'Reilly
Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Wednesday, March 12, 2025. Stand up for your country. Well, President Trump gave another presser today. You know, he's really sticking it to Biden, who wouldn't talk to the press at all. It was Irish day at the White House. The premier of Ireland was there. Mr. Trump looked very relaxed, took a series of questions. I wrote, I watched the whole thing. Today has been a hellacious day. Boy, what a work day this has been. But I wanted to watch the body language and the interaction between the president and the premier of Ireland because Ireland benefits very greatly from American trade. I think you guys know that that country has enriched itself by attracting American industry over there because very low taxes and American expats, too, they have big tax breaks for people like me, authors and musicians and things like that to move there. And Mr. Trump was interesting on how he handled that. He scolded Ireland a little bit for its imbalance, its trade imbalance, the usa. But he complimented them, too, in a premier. The prime minister didn't seem to take it personally. It was a pretty interesting exposition. And what Donald Trump is doing with the press is interesting as well. He's calling him out on the spot. I have to tell you this. I must have face to face suggested you don't tell a president anything. I used to be able to tell Trump stuff when he was a businessman, but now I suggested, look, just real time then if they ask you an unfair question, if their tone of voice is disrespectful in real time, just pointed out he's starting to do that. And it's tremendously effective. And I hope he continues lots of questions about Ukraine, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So good news on this front. It's clear to me both publicly and privately that Donald Trump does not want this killing to continue. Most politicians will they give you that? Oh, yeah, but they don't really care. I mean, Putin couldn't care less how many people die. Chinese don't care. But something in Trump emotionally doesn't want this. And I believe that, and I know him well enough to give you that assessment. Okay, so Ukraine, after being cajoled and threatened and booted around, has agreed to a 30 day ceasefire. Now, it took place in Saudi Arabia yesterday, we covered it. And then in the 30 days, there would be extended negotiations to end the war. Putin has not agreed yet. All right, I think Putin will agree, but he's going to be a pain in the butt every step of the way because he's evil. That's it. He is. And again, he doesn't care how many people die or babies are maimed or he couldn't care less about his own people. And at the end of this broadcast, in this day in history, I'm going to get, I'm going to prove that case. Okay. All right. Now, a guy named Steve Witkoff, 67 years old, real estate billionaire, they say. I don't think he's a billionaire, but he's very wealthy and he's a friend of Trump, personal friend. He is the point man of Putin. Now, Wytkoff has been effective. He's been effective talking to the people in the Middle east and he's a good negotiator. Trump trusts him. Whether he gets through to Putin or not, I don't know. But it is in Putin's great interest to stop this madness. But Putin has to walk away with some kind of win because that's the kind of evil person he is. Now, I predicted on May 6th of 2024 this would happen. Go. Trump will governed the same way he governed the first time around. He'll make deal after deal after deal. I believe that Trump would get Putin to the table on Ukraine. Okay, I believe that. And Biden, of course, wasn't even close to getting Putin anywhere in a discussion. Putin would even take his phone calls. Just so you know the history of this. Now, after the blow up with Zelensky in the White House on March 3, here's what I said again. Go. So going forward, which is the most important thing now, I think a Deal is going to happen, all right? When Trump, if you follow his history, if you read the United States of Trump, a lot of times this happens. The deal seems like it's going to never happen, and then all of a sudden it happens. Presto. I'm not a genius. I just know the players and the world, all right? I know the many better than anyone else as a journalist, okay? And, you know, if you're watching the no spin news on a regular basis, listening on the radio, you know that I know, But I don't know whether this war in Ukraine is going to stop forever. I think it will stop and I think a deal will be made. Putin could break the deal, but what's the alternative? There is no alternative. It's all about Putin, not about Zelensky. But the USA will get the mineral deal now. Puts us there. Okay? Very important part of this. Okay? Now both Trump and Putin are boxed in. This is fascinating. Putin doesn't make a deal. Trump's got to hurt him. And Trump will. He'll crush him economically every way he can. Putin knows that. But Putin almost has to make a deal. If Putin reneges on the deal after making it again, Trump will go after him. Trump has to go after him, though. They're both boxed in. Keep that in mind. Now, this is an incredible display. And again, this is NBC News Comcast. I don't really care what Rachel Maddow says. I've never picked on her. I don't belittle her. She gets a decent audience. You've got to be an absolute progressive lunatic to watch her. But there are 2 million of them. And what Ms. Maddow says she's entitled to say. But last night after the cease fire announcement was very disturbing. Go.
- [08:22]
Ryan Reynolds
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it's this plan is all good to go as far as he's concerned. He just has to go run it by Russia now. You know, sit tight here for a second. I got to go check with my manager. I'm sure it'll all be fine. Apparently, the way the Trump administration is running their deal by the big guy. Running. Running the deal by the boss is that they're sending Donald Trump's real estate friend, Steve Witkoff to go meet personally in Russia with Vladimir Putin to get his okay to run the whole end the war plan by Putin. Steve's gonna do it. Steve's great. You know, I mean, Steve's a real estate guy, so I'm sure it's gonna go great.
- [09:03]
Bill O'Reilly
Snide off the chart. Ms. Maddow conveniently forgets that Witkoff got Mark Fogel released who Putin had in jail. American Mark Fogel who was at the address that Trump gave. Okay. With his 95 year old grandmother who asked Trump to get Fogle release. Witkoff did that. And that snide, snide. I'm not, not going to do a personal thing. Has a gall to say that. The other thing about it is that far left person has objected to pretty much every war ever. We finally beat Medicare. He's right. He did beat Medicaid. Beat it to death. Joe Biden's legacy for seniors. He raided Medicare, made premiums skyrocket and drove up drug costs.
- [10:01]
Ryan Reynolds
Worse, the Biden pill penalty is already.
- [10:04]
Bill O'Reilly
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.
- [10:14]
Ryan Reynolds
Call Congress and urge them to end.

Or text BILL to 998-899 that the United States has been engaged. Maybe she didn't object to World War II, I don't know. But every contemporary now Bush is this, Cheney's that. But now it's okay. Let's keep that war going in Ukraine. Yeah, let's keep it going. Whoo. So I'm Comcast, right? And I'm watching this. I gotta say something. I wouldn't fire her or suspend her. I wouldn't do any of that. But I'd say something. Now this is another insane thing. New York Times White House correspondent is a guy named Peter Baker. Here's what he says. Go. Everything that Russia wants, it seems to be getting. It would get sanctions lifted. It would. You know, if Trump had his way, they'd even be readmitted to the G7. I don't think it's going to happen. But everything that Trump has talked about has been toward Putin's version of a peace and not toward Ukraine. There is no Ukraine version of peace, you pinhead. Okay? Ukraine can't stop the war, can't win the war, can only lose the war. Only person who can stop the war is Putin. That's it. Unless you want to send American troops in there and NATO troops, you want to do that. Now, this guy Baker, he knows better. He knows the only person on the planet could stop this is Putin. Yet he lies to the audience. Is that's what he's told to do. That's what the culture is. Whatever Trump does is bad. Even if Trump wants to stop the war, it's bad. Awful. That's the memo. Our latest on tariffs is. I'm not even going to get into the specifics because they change hour to hour, and that's what Trump's plan is, threaten a tariff. I'm going to do this, we're going to do that, Then we'll make a deal. Then we won't do it. Then we will do it. Then it's in, then it's out. I believe that they will make a bunch of deals. Us, Canada, Mexico, eu, China is a different story. Will these deals bolster America? Good chance they will, but not a lock. Are they hurting America now? Yes, because the market is so wobbly. But I think you got to give him a chance because the trade imbalance is insane. Trillion dollars of trade imbalance under Biden. Come on. All right. There's another story I don't even cover is the budget funding bill. I don't even bother with it because I know it's gonna all work out. And if it doesn't work out and they close the government, then I'll cover it. So yesterday, the Republicans in the House said, okay, we'll extend the budget spending through September 30th. Good. Gives Trump a little breathing room. Government's not going to shut down. Trump may shut the government down. He's firing everybody. I might shut it down, but Congress isn't going to shut it down. Only Republican who voted against this is Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who I don't know. I don't know him. I don't know why he does what he does. Why don't we try to get him on next week? Let's try to get Massey. He won't come on, but we'll try. One Democrat voted for it, Jared golden of Maine. Okay, so now Congress can do its thing until September 30, it has to go to the Senate. But because the Republicans hold a majority, all the Republican senators will vote for it. I can't imagine one wouldn't. But Schumer, he doesn't like this. No go.
- [15:40]
Ryan Reynolds
What do you say to some Democrats.
- [15:42]
Bill O'Reilly
Who might go ahead and vote for this because they're concerned that if the.
- [15:45]
Ryan Reynolds
Government shuts down, that's a bad thing.
- [15:46]
Bill O'Reilly
Or gives Elon Musk more enterprise to.
- [15:49]
Ryan Reynolds
Go through the government?
- [15:50]
Bill O'Reilly
We're going to wait and see what the House does first. You're not giving us those numbers. Now, again, every Democrat in the House, except for one, voted against the spending bill because they want more spending and more and more and more and more. And that's where Chuck is not cutting spending with. They don't even want to root out the waste. I just spend more. ICE arrests 646 undocumented people in Houston. Houston, not a sanctuary city. So they're cooperating with Homeland Security. 646. ICE says 543 out of the 646 are criminals. Pretty impressive. Got no coverage anywhere. But they. They've arrested them and they'll, I guess, all be deported. And on that deportation front, how about Mahmoud Khalil? So he's a former Columbia University student, got his master's degree in public administration, married, his wife's going to have a baby. Now, this guy is an agitator. He's here in the United States on a green card, so he's legally here, but he leads all the protests against Israel. And, you know, he says he's not anti Israel, but. Come on, come on, Mahmoud. And they nailed him. ICE picked him up. He's in a detention center in Louisiana, and they want to deport him, but a judge has stayed the deportation to lay here the case. And I wrote a message of the day on billoriley.com saying that was the right decision. Let's see what Khalil actually did. Okay, because remember, if you're here on a green card or student visa or anything, you're here on this soil. You get all constitutional protection of due process. Now, it's murky when you cross the border illegally because they can put you right back without a hearing. But Khalil was here, okay? So he gets through process. I don't have any problem with that. Let the immigration judge look at the record. It looks to me like Khalil's an agitator. And he does remember, a green card or a student visa is a privilege. It's not a Right. United States is giving you a chance to better your life, and you come in here and cause trouble. If I'm a judge, boy, Khalil, you got to prove to me that you're a benign guy. And I don't think Khalil can do that. So why don't you read my message of the day on bill o'reilly.com and we'll keep you posted on this. So Trump wants no Department of Education to speak of. The government's fired 1,315 Department of Ed employees, but 600 of them took voluntary retirement. So it's not as bad as it sounds. Why? Why is this happening? Because, like the abortion issue, Trump believes education should be handled by the states. And there should be a Department of Ed. There will be, and they oversee it, but you don't need a battalion of people if the states are going to control. Now, I pay a school tax, and I'm sure you do, too, if you own a home. And I pay that locally. In my district, the money goes to the schools. And in my district on Long island, schools are good. They're good because affluent district, they get money and they're educating well. In poor districts, not that way. Education is bad, and that's a very tough problem. Trump believes that problem can be solved better by the individual states than a colossus in Washington. I agree with that. Some scores, 66% of American students are proficient in math. So 34 or not that good, we're better in writing, in English and things like that. Reading, we're better in that. But math, we're not so good in Tulsi Gabbard. So she's stripping security clearances of 51 officials who signed that bogus Hunter Biden laptop letter. You'll remember them. This is Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence. Hayden, former CIA chief Panetta, former Secretary of Defense. Brennan, CIA chief. They all signed a letter, said, ah, Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. You remember that, right? Now, all of these former intel people, they get briefings. Nothing serious, but it's more a professional courtesy. No more, okay? Trump administration's knocked them out. Tills he goes now you're not going to get it. The interesting thing about this story is Even though these 51 were wrong that the Hunter laptop was fake, it wasn't. Russians had nothing to do with it. None of them apologized. And here's what Panetta said. Go.
- [21:17]
Kyle Brosnan
So you don't have any regrets about doing what you did? No, I don't have any regrets about.
- [21:23]
Bill O'Reilly
Not trusting the Russians. That's not what you did. You told the American public that Hunter Biden's laptop was a phony, but the Russians put it in there. You know, I know Leon Panetta pretty well. I lost a lot of respect for him. I don't think we'll ever be chatting again. I gave money to his foundation out of Monterey, California, because he was educating students. No more Maine. So remember the governor of Maine, Janet Mills, said, hey, federal government, I'm not obeying the executive order. I'm going to let trans men compete with girls on the athletic fields. Okay? Trump scolded her in the Oval Office, remember? Well, now Department of Agriculture has cut off $30 million in funding to the University of Maine. We're not getting a grant. Revenge. Yeah, it's hardball. And Maine. A lot of money up there for them. Joe Biden, where have you gone? Joe DiMaggio Biden this episode is brought.

Bill O'Reilly
Turns its lonely eyes to you. To quote Paul Simon, he didn't have Biden in there. He had Joe DiMaggio. Okay, so now there is allegations, there are allegations that Biden didn't know what he was signing when he made executive orders and auto pen. Now, it's insane because you see Trump every day signing executive orders, holding them up. Biden couldn't do that. An auto pan had to do it. Very strange. Worth investigating. Now, throughout history, beginning with Harry Truman, auto pens were used by presidents, but not on executive orders and laws and things like that. However, Edith Wilson signed her husband's name, Woodrow Wilson, to a whole bunch of very important documents because Woodrow had a stroke, couldn't do anything, and nobody knew about it. Confronting the presidents. If you haven't read it, shame on you. So Edith was actually running the government, but now we have auto pen running the government. Maybe. So an outfit that's looking at this very hard is the Heritage foundation based in D.C. and its chief Council of the Oversight project. Kyle Brosnan joins us now from Washington. So how bad do you think this is?
- [25:56]
Kyle Brosnan
It's pretty bad, Bill. So zooming out a little bit. The Constitution vests powers of signing bills into law, issuing pardons, things like that, in one person and one person only, the President of the United States. And for things like pardons and spill signings, his physical signature is what authorizes or completes that process. And we have found evidence that President Biden did not hand sign multiple pardons and acts of clemency throughout his presidency, including the pardons of the January 6th committee members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Milley, and the pardon for the commutation for everyone on federal death row in the waiting days of his administration. And so it leads to a question. If you combine that with the practical issues of. Biden was clearly out of it. His mental faculties were diminishing throughout his presidency. It begs the question of who was running the country. Who had authorization to sign these pardons? Who had access to the autopen? And so we are uncovering multiple exercises of the pardon power, which only belongs to the President of the United States, that he did not hand sign those documents.
- [27:12]
Bill O'Reilly
An argument might be made that he knew about the documents and was just too lazy to sign them.
- [27:21]
Kyle Brosnan
That may well be the case, but we need to control. We need to understand who had access and control of that autopen. And maybe there is a written trail of evidence of him authorizing those actions. But we've seen time and Again, throughout the last four years that the President Biden's mental capacity greatly diminished throughout his presidency. We saw the disastrous debate performance where he paused for over a minute. We saw gaffe after gaffe on the media and speaking in public. We saw Special Counsel Robert her refuse to prosecute him in part because he is an elderly man with the poor memory. And so if he is too senile to see his day in court for mishandling classified documents, and there are serious questions as to his mental ability to execute his offices of the Presidency.
- [28:07]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so what if it comes to light that Biden didn't know about what he was signing or what the auto pen was signing and he had no interest in it, and they just went out. There is no mechanism to reverse those orders, is there?
- [28:24]
Kyle Brosnan
Well, that's an open question. We're studying that here at the Oversight Project. Now we're engaging with legal scholars and continuing our research on that. But, but, but it's unprecedented here, generally speaking. You know, President Bush, for example, would, would have bills flown halfway around the world for him to sign here. But, but use of the auto pen to this scale to exercise a power that solely belongs to the President and cannot be legally delegated to anyone is unprecedented. So I think, I think the next step is to. Oh, it's terrifying.
- [28:56]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. There's no doubt about it. And I've said this from the very beginning, he was not in charge. Let's look at the men who were in charge, and you give me a rundown of them. First one is Ron Klain, White House Chief of staff from 21 to 23. Klain had an enormous amount of influence in that White House, correct?
- [29:16]
Kyle Brosnan
Yes.
- [29:18]
Bill O'Reilly
What's your assessment of him?
- [29:22]
Kyle Brosnan
So, I mean, you see the reports that President Biden kept a notoriously close circle. He had a number of consigliers throughout his political, his very long political career. One other person that may have had access to it is Neera Tanden. She served as what is what is called the staff secretary, which is basically the nucleus of the White House. Any piece of paper that goes in front of the President, the staff secretary sees and sort of keeps a train running on time. And she served for a staff secretary for, I believe, two years during the Biden presidency, including times where we noticed that clemency warrants and pardons appear to have been auto pit.
- [29:59]
Bill O'Reilly
I don't think there's any doubt that she saw everything that went through the system. What I'm trying to get at, though, is clean. Was his governing style different than Biden's. Was he far left, Was he moderate Democrat, or was he.
- [30:17]
Kyle Brosnan
Well, I think you saw a leftward turn during, during the Biden administration from, you know, ranging from their cabinet appointees to DEI policies, energy policies, you name it. You know, I think President Biden ran in 2020 as a moderating and uniting candidate. And then when he got into office, he veered the country sharply in the leftward direction.
- [30:35]
Bill O'Reilly
The open border was stunning. Open executive order was absolutely stunning. Second guy is Mike Donilon, senior adviser to Biden from 21 to 24. You know anything about him.
- [30:51]
Kyle Brosnan
Personally? No, other than public reports that he is a very, you know, close advisor to him. He's part of the Biden inner circle. You know, depending on what his position was in the White House, he may. He may have had access to the autopen. We were going to assume that there was some sort of policy governing this and the individuals that had access pursuant to that policy are people that were likely need to be spoken to by investigators.
- [31:14]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. All right. Because you got to run this down and see what the point of view of these people were. Now, Susan Rice is the next one, our National Security Advisor 13 to 17 under Barack Obama. She was in the White House all the time. She's a committed leftist, no doubt about that. And if there was a link to Barack Obama, she would be it. Because they're close friends, correct?
- [31:42]
Kyle Brosnan
That's right. She's a prominent force in the Obama White House and in the Biden White House she served as domestic policy advisor. And she played a big role in another investigation that we uncovered about the Biden administration's attempt to federalize elections and mobilize the weight of the federal government to support Democratic candidates.
- [32:00]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, that if I'm you, I'm looking at Susan Rice real hard. Next guy is Jeff Zients, White F chiefs of staff 23 to 25. I don't know anything about him. Do you know anything about him?
- [32:15]
Kyle Brosnan
Well, he was Biden's original Covid czar when he first came into into office. And we saw all the efforts from the Biden White House to censor any dissent about COVID and then was elevated to the chief of staff by the end. Here again as chief of staff, he's side by side with the president all the time, oftentimes accesses, proxy and meetings and things like that. He has the potential to be a big player here as well. He would have been chief of staff when those auto penned pardons in the waiting days of the administration for the January 6th committee General Milley, Dr. Fauci.
- [32:48]
Bill O'Reilly
And Biden family members were issued those four individuals. I think we're running a country but you know, you really have to get in and bore down on what their agenda was, who they really are. And it's complicated. The final thing is will the Heritage foundation file a lawsuit here? What's the end game for you guys?
- [33:14]
Kyle Brosnan
So we have submitted a follow up Freedom of Information act request to gather more information. We have the potential to sue for those FOIA requests if they're not answered and they don't follow the law. But we are in court on a number of cases concerning President Biden's mental acuity and the most significant one on that is for the audio tape of Special Counsel her's interview with President Biden.
- [33:38]
Bill O'Reilly
Right.
- [33:38]
Kyle Brosnan
And in that interview, in that interview President Biden forgot key details of his life like when his son passed away, when he was vice president and other important details. And that interview is it formed the basis for Special Counsel her to determine that he was not going to try and prosecute President Biden. Elderly man with a poor man.

Biden asserted executive privilege over those documents. The case has been pending and fully briefed since August and the judge is asking for whether the new administration has a New policy here. But, you know, when, when, when the president has served executive privilege, it's rare and it's a big deal. Unless we're continuing to.
- [35:37]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, Kyle, let us know. Keep us posted on what you find out. I'm going to predict it's going to be a huge scandal about Joe Biden not being in charge for four years. That is unprecedented in this country. We appreciate your time very much today. All right. Smart Life Wallet Hub, good financial website in 20. Worth your time. They have a poll, only 200 respondents, though, about tipping. Nine out of 10Americans think that automatic service charges should be banned. So if you get your check, usually in a restaurant, if you have a party of more than six, they'll build in a 15 to 20% tip. I don't have a problem with that. But more and more restaurants now are forcing you to tip at a certain level. I do have a problem with that, and so do 90% of Americans. The other questions are, do you think tipping culture has gotten out of control? 86% of Americans say yes. 14. No. Are businesses replacing employee salaries with tips? Interesting question. Yes. 55. No. 45. Should automatic service charges be banned? Yes. 83. No. 17. Even when you go in for a takeout just to pick up, they're asking for tips and all that. So here's my thing. I want to be generous because people, younger people are working and you know, all of that. So I tip 20% usually. I gave a guy 10% last weekend because he was the worst waiter I've ever seen. I should have given him nothing. But I gave him 10 because I felt sorry for him if he couldn't even do that job. What's his Future like? About 20% is what I do. I do not tip. I'm picking up stuff that I order over the phone. I mean, that's insane. She handed me the bag. That's it. I'm out of there. And I don't tip if they, if I have a credit card thing and they twirl the thing around and go, okay, I said for what? I called, I gave. You cooked it up. You're handed it to me. What am I tipping for? You didn't come to the table and pour water. You didn't do any of that. So I'm a purist in that regard. But I think Americans are generous. If you do get good service, 20 is good. Rosie O'Donnell moves to Ireland. Okay, that's fine. I'm going to do a big YouTube thing on it beginning tomorrow. I hope she's happy in Ireland. But what disturbs me is her 12 year old daughter. Roll it. I'm happy Clay is happy. I miss my other kids, I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home. And I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. And when you know it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back. So she refers to her daughter as Clay. Now, I usually stay out of this stuff. It's none of my business how you raise your children, but she's 12 years old. And this girl, according to her mother, is non binary, which means she doesn't identify with any gender. 12 years old and you're calling her Clay. But again, I could be wrong about this. I don't know the details, but it just gotta protect the kids. 12 years old is not old enough to make any binary decisions. Stay in history. March 12, 1938. We refer to the top of the program with Putin. Adolf Hitler annexes Austria. The Anschluss. All right, so German troops marched into Austria. Austrians are happy to see them. All right? And Hitler said, hey, Austria is going to be part of Germany because they're all Germans anyway. They speak German. And that's it. Took it over. All right. Austrians didn't have any problem with it. Fought on Hitler's side during World War II, paid the price. And the argument was to the world, old Adolf said, hey, if you're Germans, you're going to be part of Germany. And we don't care what you think. We don't respect territorial lines. Well, guess who believes that. Bad Vlad. Roll it.

Despite all the difficulties of today, I've.

Bill O'Reilly
Always thought that Ukrainians and Russians are one people, at least one ethnic group. There you go. Hitler game plan. Bad vlad. That happened 87 years ago. Every seven years ago today, Germany annexed Austria. Okay, final thought, Back in a moment. Okay, here's the final thought of the day. I'm old school guy. I do reporting the way it used to be done. I do analysis based on facts. I hate cliches. I mock cliches. I turn on television news. It's cliche America. Here is the latest one. Go. We'll take this offer now to the Russians and we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The ball is now in their court.
- [41:05]
Ryan Reynolds
So Joe, right now it does sound like the ball is in Russia's court.
- [41:09]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah.
- [41:09]
Kyle Brosnan
Rubio there saying that the ball is now in Russia's court.
- [41:12]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. Victoria, the ball is in Russia's court now when it comes to this ceasefire.
- [41:16]
Kyle Brosnan
Now the ball is in Russia's court to prove that it is also interested.
- [41:20]
Bill O'Reilly
In peace or at least a ceasefire, I should say. I give you 100 more lemmings. They don't think. They recite the worst is. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. You're insulting me. I know. We'll see. Everybody knows that you don't have to say it 45,000 times. And then there is, at the end of the day, if I'm Trump, I'm signing an executive order today says if you say at the end of the day, you have to donate $10 to charity every time you say it. And if you don't, ICE is going to come to your house at the end of the day. It's painful to me. It's painful. It's like, you know, the nail, and this is a cliche, the nail is on the blackboard. So ball in a court. How many times can you just. Just be original? Just try. I'm pleading with you. Thank you for very, very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News, where we try never to use cliches. We'll see you tomorrow.

We have a very simple mission. We take the news of the day and we filter it through a biblical worldview.

Kyle Brosnan
So here's the big story of the day.
- [42:51]
Ryan Reynolds
What does the Bible say about it and how can we apply it? It's amazing. There's nothing new under the sun. The Bible has something to say about everything that's going on today. So basically, we thump the Bible over on Politics by Faith.
- [43:01]
Kyle Brosnan
I think we ought to keep MAGA going.
- [43:03]
Ryan Reynolds
And I think the way to take.
- [43:04]
Kyle Brosnan
It beyond just a political victory into.

A true rebuilding and awakening and revival in America is to make sure that this is all grounded in biblical principles.
