Hey, Bill O'Reilly here, welcome to the No Spend News, Tuesday, July 15, 2025, stand up for your country.
Well, summer's half over.
As you get older, this becomes a little bit of an alarming circumstance.
I'm looking at my calendar this morning going,
what is going on it was just july 4th and it'll be august in two weeks oh oh but there's nothing
you can do uh however i do make the most of uh every day uh because nothing is guaranteed um but i
you know summer i wish you would slow down um but we continue to work very hard here much too
hard for any summer the living is not easy here on bill o'reilly dot com in an
our worldwide precincts. We are on the case, and that is the subject of this evening's
talking points memo. So the two most important stories for Americans right now are Russia and
China. The economy is usually number one, but we cannot define the economy. I'll get into a
little bit of that later on the broadcast. We don't know whether Trump's tariffs are going
to work. We don't know what direction the consumer spending.
which is always the most important thing about the U.S. economy is going to take mixed signals.
So we can't even discuss it without, you know, guessing and all of this conjecture,
which is just a total waste of your time. I will never waste your time.
So Russia obviously is in the forefront.
And the Epstein case, which is getting a lot of media of attention,
it's not an important story per se.
But it is on how the Trump administration handles that story.
Okay, there's a delineation there.
And I did a big thing yesterday on News Nation last night.
I'm not going to do anything on it today because there's nothing new.
I will read some of your letters, though, which are very interesting about the Epstein thing.
There is a new poll, Harvard, Harris, 2,44 registered voters, fair sample.
Question number one, do you think Russia's Vladimir Putin generally wants to end the war in Ukraine
or is playing games and stalling with the USA and the West?
Once end of war, 27, playing games, 73.
Do you think Ukraine Zelenskyy wants to end the war playing games?
Once end the war, 61, playing games 39.
It's pretty high, 39 number.
Third question.
Should the Trump administration continue to provide weapons to Ukraine
and oppose further economic sanctions on Russia?
Continue to provide the weaponry, 65%.
No, 35%.
So about 35% of Americans don't really want to have anything to do with this thing.
And I'm going to deal with that tomorrow in a bigger segment.
Next question, do you think Donald Trump has been too tough?
Not tough enough?
about right when dealing with Putin.
Two tough, nine, not tough enough, 60, about right, 31.
Are you satisfied on how Trump is managing to end the war between Ukraine and Russia?
Satisfied 47, dissatisfied 53.
Okay.
So this is an issue, Russia, Putin, that has disagreement among Americans, which is fine.
All right.
And it is absolutely fine because we are spending billions of dollars to protect that country, Ukraine.
In a way Trump did it yesterday, it was fairly clever.
So NATO is going to pay us.
We'll send them the weapons and NATO will send them to Zelensky.
So we're not giving it away anymore.
Under Biden, we gave it away.
All right, just so you know.
Now, perhaps the best pundit on television news these days is Britt Hume.
So you remember the glory days of Fox News.
It was Charles Krauthammer.
It was Hume.
It was me.
It was Tony Snow.
I mean, these heavyweights, not me, I'm not bragging, but, you know, if you Google
Crowdhammer O'Reilly, you'll see some really fiery debates.
And that's gone.
Okay, and I don't know really why it's gone.
But the only survivor at Fox News is Britt Hume,
who is a very smart guy, seen it all.
And he's an honest man.
Roll the tape.
It's clear from what the president himself has said,
although he wouldn't put it this way,
that he got played by Putin and dragged on for months.
And he was being jollied along under the impression
that Putin had obviously given him that Putin wanted
end the war and was prepared to negotiate from where we are.
And it's pretty clear now that Putin didn't want to end the war where we are.
He had more conquest in mind and perhaps wanted his whole, his whole original purpose of
Ukraine to be, of taking Ukraine to be fulfilled.
Well, I think you made one mistake in that analysis by using the word played.
Okay, so Trump wanted to believe that Putin would come to the peace table.
And remember, okay, people believe what they want to believe.
And the president is no exception to that.
And he had that belief based upon his four years in his first term when Putin really didn't cause a lot of trouble.
Okay, the Crimea thing was under Obama, the Ukraine invasion was under Biden.
And Trump said to himself, look, you know, this guy and I have a relationship, I think I can get him to the table.
And that was a big theme of Trump's campaign.
All in the Ukraine war, never would have started.
How I've been president?
Oh, no, no, you know, I'm not.
But played is really not the right word here.
So when you have an issue that is this dangerous, Putin's a dangerous man.
You've got to give him more space than you would, the mullahs of Iran, for example.
So we can bomb Iran anytime he want.
We can wipe them off the face of the earth.
They can't do anything to us.
We can't bomb Putin because he can bomb us back and everybody dies.
It's a far more dangerous situation.
China is a far more dangerous situation than North Korea.
I know you know this, but I have to state it.
So it wasn't about being played.
It was about Trump trying his hardest to get.
Putin to be rational.
And Trump failed.
But it wasn't Trump's fault.
He had to try
if he wants to get down in history
as a responsible president.
He had to.
I know Putin better than anybody.
And when you read Confronting Evil
to be out in September,
you'll see we trace them back to when he was a little kid.
Putin's a psychopath.
He wants to kill people.
He enjoys killing people.
His whole war machine,
doesn't attack Ukrainian forces.
It attacks civilians, babies, hospitals.
Those are war crimes.
Putin doesn't care how many babies he kills.
So when you deal with somebody like that,
that's a special circumstance.
But again, because the man has nuclear weapons
and can cause unbelievable turmoil in a world,
death and destruction all over the place,
you got to give him a little room.
which Trump did. But now that's over. And Trump, I think, made a pretty good deal yesterday
by the way he got the weapons thing up and coming because it's not our responsibility as
Americans to fund this whole thing. You know, everybody's got to chip in here. And that's how
Trump did it. And I thought that was very good. Press will never give him ever in a million
years, any credit for it. And the polling, you know, people who really don't understand
the danger here. There's a lot of danger. Okay, so the key to breaking Putin is the banks.
Now, I don't know whether Trump is going to sanction the banks that do business with Moscow.
I don't know. I would. I would have done it a while back. What that means is any bank in the
world that does business with Putin and Russia is sanctioned, boycott it.
China's not going to obey that, okay, but Putin doesn't want the Juan, the Chinese money.
He wants dollars.
Everybody wants dollars or Swiss francs.
They don't want euros.
Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
I'm Miranda Devine.

Okay, two currencies, Swiss francs, U.S. dollar.
If Trump said, look, you're a bank and you're in, you know, gutter, you're in Saudi Arabia,
and you do business with, well, we're cutting you off.
and we're freezing all the oligarchs money and all the general's money all over the world
we're freezing their accounts put in me in trouble and that's what should happen and that's a memo
we will follow it obviously I'm on top of this thing all right migrant update the the numbers and
they come from the homeland security office itself so far 253,000 deportations since Trump took office
Okay. And that number is up to July 5th. And immigrants being held in ICE custody, 57,186. Now, will all of them be deported? I don't know. And we'll get to that in a moment.
Disturbing story out of New England. Okay, here's what happened. A guy named Chris Landry, 46 years old.
legal U.S. resident, five children, he works in manufacturing, he lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
He goes to Canada on vacation. He drives up there. He comes back through the port of entry of
Holton, Maine, which I've been to. It's the furthest point north in Maine. He presents his
credentials to the Border Patrol in Holt and Maine. Okay. They say,
you're not allowed back traveling with three of his children they let the kids in and they're
older so they go back to new hampshire but mr landry is still in canada he is being denied
entry back here why because he in 2007 had a pot beef not a big one but he had a marijuana possession
All right. And that was 18 years ago. Since that time, Landry says he's been to Canada many times. No problem. But now there is a problem. Now, I looked at this and I said, this is wrong. If you want to bring him before an immigration court, okay. Okay. If that's what ICE wants to do, I don't object to it. I think it's a waste of money.
But on a humane basis, man, it's five kids.
And they're all U.S. citizens. They all live in New Hampshire.
And you can't get back? No. Sorry. No.
That is cruel.
And it doesn't protect me or my family or you or your family.
Does it?
Okay.
Joining us now is probably the most astute immigration lawyer in the country.
And I'll back it up.
He represents Maloney and Trump and her family.
He did represent John Lennon when the U.S. Department of State tried to deport him on pot charges or drug charges.
Michael Wiles comes to us from New York City.
He's also the mayor of Englewood, New Jersey.
So he's a busy guy.
All right.
So I'm assuming Maloney is not going to be deported, right?
She's okay, counselor?
She's safe, Mr. Riley.
Okay.
It was my late father, Leon Wilde, who passed away a year ago, who actually represented the famous
Beatle against the Nixon administration at the time.
Right.
Quite a legacy.
We're still shepherding his practice forward on Madison Avenue.
Okay.
So I'm this guy in Chris Landry, and I come to your office, or I send a representative, I send, you know,
my wife or whoever in, and say, look, you got to get me back into the USA.
This is ridiculous.
What do you do specifically to solve this problem?
Thank you.
Thank you, again, Bill, for having me on.
Listen, the Controlled Substance Act of 1971 schedules marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug.
As bad as it gets, such a conviction has catastrophic consequences, even for green card holders.
Departing after a conviction, even with a green card, he was a green card holder.
the gentleman since he was three years old, subjects him to what's termed to be inadmissibility
charges on his return. Now, that means that Mr. Landry can be returned to the United States.
He has a green card, so he's entitled to a day in immigration court. I want you to know a few
hours ago. I had a U.S. citizen who consulted with us because he was concerned about his being
returned to the United States. He would be heard in a federal court.
But Mr. Landrieu would be eligible for a waiver.
They don't have to mandatorily incarcerate him if they want to.
The law allows them when it comes back because it's a controlled substance crime that he was convicted of.
But what we would be doing would be a few things.
First, we would look to see if we could have the crime vitiated.
We would look to see whether or not there was a constitutional problem.
All right, all right.
But don't get, just right now.
to get back to Peterborough, New Hampshire.
And he's entitled to a day in court.
All right.
So what would you do, and he should hire you, so you would do an emergency petition right
away, try to get it in front of an immigration judge?
Is that what you would do?
He would come to the United States.
He would go off primary.
But they won't let him in, counsel.
No, they will let him in.
Somebody has to negotiate that they admit him.
All right.
When you say they, you pick up the phone, who do you call to get this guy back?
We call ICE and we ask for them to have him return to the United States.
He does not make a formal admission.
And they issue what's called an NTA and notice to appear in a remote.
Okay, all right.
So you call them up on a phone or is it an email or is a registered letter?
We would call up ICE because of the profile of this matter and ask.
Would you get anybody on the phone, though, immediately?
Are the people there to answer your call?
You would?
Yes, we would go up the chain of command.
The decision has to be made.
So you're confident if this guy hired you, you could get him back within hours?
Within a day.
Within a day.
All right, he's already been out two days.
He's already been out in Canada two days.
Which is unconscionable for a green card holder with five years and children.
That's why I'm doing this story.
That's why I'm doing it.
You know me.
For many years, I don't want chaos in our immigration thing.
I think Joe Biden is the worst president on immigration in our history.
By far, there's no even close second.
And I've been saying this for decades that you've got to regulate immigration into America.
But this one comes under humane, right?
Of course.
Now, here's my next question.
Family unification is a bedrock of our immigration.
policy. Okay. The left, the hate Trumpers, are now portraying Homeland Security ICE as having
no interest in humanity, fairness, human rights, or any of that. All I want to do is kick
everybody out. Is that true? It's not true. I'm a former federal prosecutor myself. I'm actually a
proud Democrat and a mayor, a five-term mayor in New Jersey. I don't like some of the things that
they're doing. We're representing a wine company in Edison, New Jersey that was raided a few days ago.
I don't like the people that they're picking up or how they're doing it. But this president is
returning on his promise to go after those hardened criminals. When they realize there aren't as
many bad people in this country, they are expanding the net. I don't like how they knock on doors,
even in my city, they're knocking on doors and they're saying it's the police and they say,
what do you want? Well, we have gifts for your kids. And then they go in and they arrest somebody.
All right, but there's always abuses. I mean, that's not a policy.
Not a policy. But I want to get the bigger picture here. So let's review.
Number one, if this guy hires you, you think you can get it back in 24 hours,
He would go before that.
He'd have a hearing in an immigration court to review.
We would negotiate.
You'd negotiate his status.
And then he would end up having to be heard in an immigration court.
And you're confident you would win the case.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Bill, this is a gentleman with five children, U.S. citizens.
I got it.
I'm just trying to get.
There's so many remedies available to him to defend himself.
Okay.
So right now, he's not getting good advice from anybody because they could have already called you.
And there are a lot of other immigration attorneys, skilled ones in New England, who could have done the same thing.
Of course, he could have done this years ago.
You should have done this without leaving each time he came back.
He faced this jeopardy.
Right.
He didn't protect himself as the way he should.
All right.
So now, after this segment, which will go worldwide, I kind of think that what you just said,
will happen. I can't guarantee it, but we'll do a follow-up tomorrow, and we appreciate your
time very much, Mr. Wiles. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Thank you, Bill. Okay. NBC News.
So, look, I know that I've been way too repetitive on the media, but it is declined in such a
dramatic way. So they do a report on illegal.
Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between.
It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.
Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast.

Aliens, undocumented migrants, whatever you want to use, being held in detention centers
around the country.
The crux of the report is that they're being abused.
The migrants are being abused by the Trump administration.
Here is a full screen.
This is a television report.
This is on their website, NBC News website, quote.
Immigrants being held in Immigration Customs Enforcement detention centers.
and at least seven states are complaining of hunger, food shortages, spoil food, detainees and immigrants' advocates say.
They say some detainees have gotten sick.
Others have lost weight.
One facility and incident involving detainees reportedly broke out because of food, unquote.
Okay.
Now, ICE immediately, same day, this came out July 14th yesterday, okay, issued this statement, quote, fake news.
Any claim there is a lack of food or subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false.
All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment,
have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers.
Meals are certified by dieticians.
Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is the top priority at ICE.
Okay.
So we decided to find out who's telling the truth.
NBC News or the Homeland Security Department.
Here's what we found out.
Number one, most of the sources NBC News used are anonymous, which means you can't back on it.
If they're afraid to put names on it, you can't believe it.
They do have three prominent names in their report.
First one is Alfredo Calderon.
Okay?
He has been detained for a year.
He's a Salvadoran.
So you've got to figure Alfredo doesn't like being detained, right?
Okay. Number two, Jennifer Norris. She's an attorney at the Immigrant Defender's Law Center. What's that? Far Left Group, Open Border Group. Jennifer wants everybody in. Nobody help.
Third, Vanessa Torres, okay? She's a lawyer for the American Immigration Lawyers Association, another far left group.
So what NBC News did is it stacked anonymous sources. You don't know who they are.
far left people who want open borders and everybody in. That was the basis of their entire
article. Is this unusual? No. The reporters went out. They wanted an article to say there's bad
food and conditions at the ICE detention centers. And it's easy to get that. And that's what they
did. Netherlands. You've been there? Not one of my favorite countries. It's got a flat.
Amsterdam, an interesting town for like two days, but there's, you know, pot people running all over the place.
But Amsterdam is worth seeing. And then I rode down to Belgium and it's okay.
But they are rationing electricity. You don't have enough electricity.
Now, in Holland, in the summer, it's hot, but it's not crazy hot.
But in the winter, you freeze your butt off. So they don't have enough power.
to certify that 18 million Dutch people, citizens will get their homes heated or cooled.
They don't have enough power.
Why?
Because they knocked out all of the fossil fuel stuff, and they went to alternative.
Okay?
And the electric grid can't keep up with it.
So now it's a big deal.
They don't have no power in all country.
Okay.
Fast forward to California.
67% of the energy generated in the Golden State, the largest state of the Union, as you know, is clean energy.
Sounds good, right?
Okay, 67%.
And unlike Texas, we have big, big trouble with the wind and clean energy.
stuff, big trouble there. California hasn't had that money. They have a few rolling blackouts,
okay, but it's not crazy trouble. However, it's so expensive that electricity in California
is double the average of the rest of this country, double. And if you live in New York,
where I live, my electric bill this month, June, was $1,200, just to air-condition the house.
if I were in California, we'd be paying $2,500 because of the alternative energy.
Now, I like clean energy, but you can't impoverish people to cool or heat their homes.
And California is doing that.
Since 2015, 10 years ago, all fossil fuel electricity, all that doubled.
Double.
And if you're renting, that means the landlord.
was going to pack that on.
That's why people are moving out of California.
Hello, Gavin Newsom.
And my message of the day is on.
Newsom, he's begun his presidential campaign.
Bill O'Reilly.com, message, read it.
You'll get a kick out of it.
All right, summer flying delays on this is another one.
So there are a lot of thunderstorms yesterday on the East Coast.
So New York airport shut down, Florida airport shut down.
Chaos.
11,000 flights were delayed yesterday in the United States, 11,000, 2,100 canceled.
That's 15,000 flights didn't get off the ground, okay, because of thunderstorms.
Now in the winter we have snowstorms, and in the summer we have thunderstorms, in the fall we have wind.
I'm telling you, if you don't have to fly, drive, because you are going to get hammered.
inflation so all the headlines are inflation is up and this and that you know how much it's up
zero point three percent annually below three percent it's a great inflation report
listen to media you never know that oh trump's tariffs oh it's bull they're just lying to you
now maybe in the fall inflation will go up i don't know but just report accurately just for
once um here's some uh here's a chart i got a chart i love charts uh remember rove with the charts
all right here's my chart i'm going to read this to you you'll find it interesting i think
um non-alcoholic beverages that's soda and stuff like that iced tea up 1.4 percent fuel up
1.3 in my neighborhood gas is down about a buck a gallon um electricity
up a 1%. Fruits and vegetables, 09%. This is in June. Hospital services up 0.7%. Tobacco, nobody smokes
is up a half percent. Food away from home, restaurants up 0.4%. And then down, meat, poultry,
fish, and eggs down 0.1%. Airline fare is down a little bit. Serial, bakery, down, down,
little bit dairy down a little bit new vehicles down 0.3 remember the hysteria no
you can't buy a car down use cars down almost 1% okay smart life rising costs so you
have to be smart now or you're using a waste your money hotel prices are the
worst they're the worst up 25% in 10 years okay airfare down 20%
over 10 years. They're F years down, but they punish you when you go on the plane.
You've got to sit in your seat and your knees are hitting your chin.
Rental cars, this is a scandal of 30% because they got to pay Tom Brady.
30% for rental cars. My God.
Restaurants eating out of 50%.
Now, I eat out because I can't cook.
but I there are I will not and you know here's my litmus test how much a burger costs
so I told you last week there is a restaurant in amaganza at Long Island on the east end
$34 for a cheeseburger not going I'll pay 1415 and you got to throw fries in
that's what I'll pay any more than I know I'm getting ripped off okay
So that, you know, I just look at the menu, I just see that.
And most of these restaurants on Long Island, they're 25, 26, I'm not doing it.
I'll barbecue it.
I can throw the patty on the barbecue.
Okay.
And that's what I'm talking about, that if the American consumer drives the economy, says no to unfair pricing,
pricing has to come down. Now, I can afford it, but I'm not going to do it. It's a matter of
principle. Smart life. Kids, this is out of England. They're turning to AI chatbot. I have no
idea what that is, but apparently kids are talking to AI chatbot. 64% are involved with the chatbots.
35% say the chat bot is their friend.
That's gonna rise.
So kids don't want other friends, real friends,
because when you have a friend, you have conflict.
You don't like the friend, you have a friend,
but the chatbot, you can talk to the chatbot,
chatbot talks right back to you.
Keep your eye on us.
And it's parenting.
Just parenting.
You've got to have your kids socialized.
Stay in History, July 15, 2006, Twitter launched.
Okay, 19 years ago.
Now, originally, Jack Dorsey was the guy and became a billionaire,
and he and a few other guys put out Twitter.
In six years, 100 million people all over the world were using Twitter.
Twitter, but it was still losing money, all right, even though I had 100 million users.
The first year it became profitable was 2018, all right, 12 years after it was released.
But then it became real, real popular.
In 2019, Twitter made $3.5 billion in profit.
Whoa.
And then it began censoring stuff for political reasons, like the Hunter Biden laptop and all of that.
and that incensed Ilan Musk.
So he bought it.
And 44 billion must pay for it.
Musk runs it now.
It turned it into X.
And here we are.
Now, I'm on Twitter, and we use it all the time, all the time to get our message out.
It's at Bill O'Reilly.
So, you know, get us.
We put on really good things.
So Twitter began 19 years ago today.
And right back with Neil Diamond.
All right, final thought.
I was a big Elvis fan.
And then there were a number of male singers, pop singers, after Elvis.
You know, it was like Frankie Avalon and Fabian and Neil Diamond.
And I like them all.
I mean, Neil Diamond put out some really good songs.
I wasn't, I saw him in concert a couple of times.
He was okay, a little schmaltzy.
but he is now 84 years old.
He's Parkinson's disease.
His last concert was eight years ago in London.
I saw him just before that.
And I knew there was something not right there.
And he has sold more than 130 million records.
He's worth about $300 million,
Neil Diamond.
He lives in California, I believe.
Anyway, he shows up in,
Los Angeles, they were having a play, a beautiful noise, which is a play on Neil Diamond.
He showed up to the play, I believe it was on July 12th, three days ago.
Good for him.
All right, 84 years old.
Of course, the Boston Red Sox resurged Neil Diamond by using Sweet Caroline during the games at Fenway.
all right so we hope you got a lot out of this program today we'll be here the rest of the
week I'm Bill O'Reilly really appreciate you guys watching and listening on our radio
stations across the country and we'll see you tomorrow
