Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Thursday, February 22, 2024, stand up for your country. As I've said before, we tape this broadcast late in the afternoon. And so sometimes news breaks and we're not available to bring you the latest. Not often. Maybe happens twice a month. Now we have a story in play where President Biden is going to issue an executive order trying to stop the chaos at the border. And this could come at any time.

We know a little bit about it because there's been some reporting, but not credible reporting. These are anonymous sources and all of that. Now, I have to tell you about it, but I'm not saying it's fact, okay? So Biden is in trouble because he, on the first day of his administration, 37 months ago, knocked out Trump's remain in Mexico policy, which had stopped the chaos on the southern border. We'll all remember that. Biden gives in, knocks it out, opens the border, more than 11 million foreign national.

nationals come in here, unsupervised, tons and tons of narcotics, hundreds of thousands of Americans are killed by those drugs, and there's Biden sitting in the White House, doesn't care, okay? But now he has to care, because the polls, his polls, are dismal, and Democrats may lose the presidential election next November. So what is Biden to do? That is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So according to Politico, not the greatest source, but, you know, it's not terrible. An executive order signed by Joe Biden is forthcoming tonight or tomorrow that will ban migrants from seeking asylum outside of U.S. ports of entry by using a section of the

Immigration and Nationality Act. However, Biden is going to couch it because he knows his progressive base wants an open border with, I'm not going to really do this until there's a certain number of migrants come in every day or every week. That's really insulting right there. You're going to do it, do it. Don't give me, I'm letting 5,000 in a day. That's why I wouldn't vote for that immigration bill that passed the Senate. I would never have voted for that because it was a ruse. Okay. Now, Biden is legal precedent to do this, despite what MSNBC says.

1952, the Immigration and Nationality Act states, quote, whenever the president finds the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants,

immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. So obviously, that was passed by Congress signed by President Eisenhower, I believe. I think it was an Eisenhower thing. So he has authority to do it. But Biden doesn't care about the open border. He doesn't care of the human suffering. Doesn't care how many problems are caused by the mass migration. He's only only doing it because his handlers in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party are saying, you better do it or we might lose. Now, who's going to be fooled by that?

Morons. Okay? And there are plenty of morons. Oh, look at, look at Biden's trying to help the problem. Hey, he caused the problem. It's like inflation. Oh, we're bringing inflation. You caused it.

It's just so much. All right. Now, September 19th, 2003, almost six months ago, here's what I said, go. President Biden's responsible, open border. Listen to these stats. And he does nothing. Biden sits there and does nothing. All right, 2022, Border Patrol stats, 15,000 pounds of fentanyl seeds.

And you can imagine how much more got in. record by far. So far this year, so far the 17,600 pounds of fentanyl. So far, it's only September. What's Biden doing? Nothing. Doesn't care a whit about babies dying or anybody else dying from fentanyl. Doesn't care. And there's no reason why he can't write an executive order, okay, closing that border down right now. suspending all asylum claims for at least six months. We can do that right now. Nope, won't do it because he doesn't care.

Every word I said was true, and now he asked to care because of the polls. So, up until now, Biden has been putting out this preposterous theory that Trump is responsible for the border chaos. it. Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his mega Republican friends. It's time for Republicans in the Congress to show a little courage, to show a little spine, to make it clear to the American people that you work for them, not for anyone else. Now, even morons aren't going to believe that. Okay? So he tried that.

didn't work. Now he's got to do the executive order. React from the media. Now remember, the media enables Joe Biden. Okay, 90% of the American media is working with the Democratic Party to defeat Donald Trump. So they enable Biden. They don't particularly love Biden. It's not like Barack Obama where the media was in love with President Obama. They don't love Biden. But they hate Trump so much anybody is better okay so here's CNN last night go number one they just finished arguing that they needed legislation to do anything well that's obviously not true and number two if you could take executive action today why didn't you do it for the last three years and so I really do think they're sort of scrambling and responding to a massive political problem but I think they may

be creating more by essentially admitting that their argument on the legislation was false and that they've been sitting on their hands or making it worse for the last three years. Now, I use that sound by because that's actually fair. Now, CNN's got a new boss. I don't expect them to be fair. Okay, but they were there. And when that happens, I'm going to point it out. Of course, MSNBC, which is way to the left, to CNN, if that's possible, they had a different take on it. Go. I think it's important to preface here, you know, this is something that a number of Democrats will hate and will speak out against, including key voters in the electorate of the Democratic Party.

So it doesn't matter how many people die from drug overdoses, how many municipalities go bankrupt, how many violent gangs are formed by young men illegally crossing the border. None of that matters to the Democratic Party. They want an open border. You know who started all this? George Soros. He's the one that started it. It took about 10 years. But here we are.

And that's a memo. Let's face it, the U.S. 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.

Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune in to my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Biden today, not doing the people's business as usual. He's still in California, fundraising, Mountain View, nice town, south of San Francisco on the peninsula.

And, you know, give me money because Trump is running against me, so give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, that's what Biden did all day today. Inflation. So the Biden rap is, he's bringing inflation down. It's the best economy ever enough. Christianity in the United States and I'm Joe Biden presiding. Oh, I've created more jobs than anybody's ever created in history of mankind. Inflage is not a problem. Okay. So there is a

study printed in a Wall Street Journal. It's been 30 years, 30 years, since Americans paid this much of your income for food. Now you have to have food to live. Okay. So prices at restaurants, Last month, January 24, increased 5% from January 23. Groceries of 1.2% from January, 2003. When they were up about 10% from the year after, it keeps going up. U.S. consumers now spend 11.3% of their disposable personal income on food. And that has not been that high in 30 years. So Biden goes out, he says, well, so I don't know why Americans who are liberal think that's okay.

We've got plenty of food in this country, all right, and we feed the world, pretty much. Why is this okay? Food prices should be down, but they're not. And if you like Oreos, they're going up because Coco is at a 46-year record high in price, which is good because you don't want to eat that. Sugar will kill you and literally kill you. Okay? Beef, sugar, French fries.

All of those products are through the roof. UGov poll, Democrat 33, Republican 31, Independent 36, Fair Poll. First question, do you think Joe Biden as personally profited from the son, Hunter Biden's business dealings? That's 50%. No, 28, not sure, 22. Second question, do you think Hunter Biden has personally profited from his father's Joe Biden's positions of government?

Yes, 67%. No 14. Now, if you are one of the 14, then you are basically saying the bank records that have been produced showing tens of billions of dollars going into companies run by Hunter and Jim Biden. You're going, well, they're phony or whatever, I don't know. But 67%.

No, and half the country thinks that Joe Biden got money or some benefit. I do. I think Joe Biden did benefit financially from this grifting. I can't prove it. Therefore, I would not vote for impeachment if I were in the house because it has not been established yet, but that's what investigations are for, but not to the left. So on Wednesday, I always appear with Chris Cuomo, and we really appreciate the access there on News Nation.

And we talked about the Biden family grift. go. The guy's the vice president. His brother and his son are reaping tens of millions of dollars. You have to investigate that because selling influence is a federal crime. I'm just finishing up right and confronting the presidents. That's what Warren Harding did. Okay? Listen. I know, but it was a precedent for it. It was peddling influence under Harding and the idea that this warrants, even though you have no indication that it's ill-gotten gains, you should look anyway and figure it out. If that was the standard, our Congress would have done nothing else during the Trump administration, then look at where he was money

was coming in from while he was president. That's how much of a distraction this becomes. How did Trump focus on the people's interest? Because it's so hypocritical. The people's interest. You don't want this to be the standard? No, it's not. Go ahead. You don't want to, you don't want to know, Cuomo. And that's the problem with journalism and the Congress. No, you don't.

Of course I want to know. I just don't want to be distracted by nonsense. And when it's blown up as nonsense, you say, oh, but here's another one. But just like the Democrats did with Trump. Focus on people's problems. If you want to, if you want to think, if you want to, if you want to. if you want to think that $20 million

going into the pocket of the vice president's brother and son is nonsense then that's on the nonsense. I think you don't know where it came from, but you're assuming it was nefarious. Of course I don't know. I don't have subpoena power. You could investigate everybody's

money flow. But I'm saying by that standard, you could investigate everybody's money flow. You can't investigate everybody's money flow. Look, the man, Hunter, Biden is up on federal charges for evading taxes. Come on. Yeah. This is insane. Cuomo doesn't want to know. Neither is in New York Times, the Washington Post. NBC, CBS, ABC. Don't want to know. Nobody in Congress under the Democrat banner wants to know. 50% of the American people don't want to know. So I'm a historian, and I mentioned Warren Harding,

and you'll read about that when confronting the president's comes out. But Richard Nixon, Bordagate, he covered it up. Everybody wanted to know. Maybe there were 10, 15% of Republicans back then that didn't want to know. But 80% of the country wanted to know. That was a two-year investigation. And there were days where Nixon's guys would come out and say, Hey, see that?

No, nothing to do this. Forget it. No way. Now, totally opposite. The media does not want to know. And so we, the people, are dependent on a very few journalists, like me, to bring valid information. So, I mean, I'm arguing for two minutes and three seconds with Cuomo, who should be on my side, saying, yeah, let's, but in every argument or debate with a liberal person,

Trump comes in, no matter what it is, because that's the technique to divert attention away from whatever the Biden family did. Okay, so James Biden, I'm not going to spend much time on this. You know what it is. He goes in, he says, no, my brother, the vice president, the president, had nothing to do with my business or Hunter's business, even though he did meet with a whole bunch of people that gave us money, he had nothing to do with it. Okay, you want to believe that? Go ahead and believe it. There it is. All right, another poll, UGov on Trump and his New York problem. 33 Democrat, 31 Republican, 36 independent. What is your opinion of the penalty imposed on Trump? which includes paying $355 million, a three-year ban on doing business in New York.

Too harsh, 35%. About right, 28%. Not harsh enough. 24%. Okay, so 52%, according to this poll, fine with it. You're fine with it. So singling out a politician, Donald Trump, the state of New York, the entire, apparatus here, tries to destroy one politician in a civil court and 52% of the country is,

okay. That's okay. That's Putin stuff, just so you know. Appeals process. So Trump can file an appeal on this insane $355 million judgment against him, as soon as the judge of files of paperwork. So Trump's lawyers will appeal to the appellate division of New York State, which will probably affirm because, I mean, this state is run top to bottom by liberal Democrats. but maybe the appellate division will give it a fair look, maybe, okay? When they appeal, when Trump appeals, he will apply for an immediate stay, which means he doesn't have to pay anything now, it just stops everything until the appellate court hears it.

Should get it, most people do, all right? Then already Trump's lawyers have filed for a 30-day extension to rule. raise the cash to put the bond down, they have to put $344, $350 million down, which, you know, most people couldn't do to sell everything to put that down. Trump's got it, but he's got to sell stuff or borrow stuff. It's wrong. This is all, this is so wrong. I can't tell you, again, this is what they do in Russia, you know. In China, they don't have to do this, because in China, they just put you in a concentration camp. All right, Putin's got his own concentration camps, but it's a little not quite as bad as China. The mullahs in Iran, they'll just

kill you. Okay. Fannie Willis. So it looks like next week, the judge will rule on whether she can stay on the Trump case. Okay? The judge is Scott McAfee, but he is up for re-election this year in very liberal of Holden County. So if he boots Fannie, then he loses all those African-American votes. I'm telling you, this is, all right, so we're not going to get ahead of the judge. She was just telling you what the situation is in Fulton County, Georgia. So we expect Fannie this to be adjudicated by next week. Under Georgia law, defense attorneys, if Fannie gets an okay to stay on the case, they can

appeal that under a certificate. of review. So, you know, they can delay, delay, delay, delay, delay. Supreme Court next week, next week is going to be a big week. I hope you're with us the entire week next week. It's got a rule on a Colorado attempt to throw Trump off the ballot and the main attempt. Because Super Tuesday comes up March 5th. Okay, so they got it.

A week from this coming Tuesday is the vote across the country. They have to. And it will, and he'll side with Trump. He'll be on about my prediction. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Now, this story got a lot of play last night in the news precincts. 33-year-old Casina Carolina.

dual Russian and U.S. citizen, Ballerina, okay, donates $50 to a Ukrainian charity. She is arrested and charged with crimes against the state of Russia for helping Ukraine. Now, we don't know where she is, but believe me, wherever she is, it's not a nice place. So this raises the specter in my mind. what were you doing in Russia?

Why would any American citizen be in Russian? Why? Because they'll pick you off. Even the media people, I mean, they're really brave. Get the Wall Street Journal guy in prison now for more than a year. If Putin wants you arrested, you're going to get arrested. It's like New York State. if Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, why don't you're getting arrested?

Do you find something. It's Putin. So I'm not making light of this, and I feel sorry for this young woman. I do. But she's hosed. How are they going to get her out? Putin's not listening to anybody. Do what he wants.

So I wrote a message of the day on this. And again, Bill O'Reilly.com every morning. We have a message of the day. You don't have to be a member of anything. Go in there, you can read it. And I hope you do. So the message says there are certain countries in the world where Americans, if you go, you're out of your blank in mind.

And I name them. A bunch of countries in Africa. Okay, if you're going to Somalia, you're asking to be killed, for example. Okay, that's not in Africa, but it's right across from Africa. Chad, all right, I mean, on and on in Africa. Burma, they call it Myanmar now, but it's Burma. You go there? Haiti.

Go to Haiti, no protections, none. I've been to Haiti twice. I got caught up in the Aristide Revolution there. North Korea, you all know that. Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, stand. You go to those countries, you can do whatever they want to you, and nobody's going to help you. But here's the kicker on it. I won't go to Mexico, and thousands of American students are going to spring break in Mexico. There were two American women killed there recently in Mexico.

One OD'd on fentanyl. She had a death witch. If you go to Mexico and take fentanyl, you want to die. And the other was caught the crossfire in the Cancun area, plight of Carmen South. So why would you go to Mexico? If you get in trouble there, get intoxicated, whatever, nobody going to help you? Nobody. Why would you go there?

Either go to USA or the Caribbean or Hawaii or whatever. But thousands of people. Now, what's wrong with their parents? My God. Now, there are places in the United States. I will not go. Oakland, San Francisco, right across the bay, south side of Chicago,

Ninth Ward in New Orleans. Not going there. Now, I went through the Bronx the other day, South Bronx, very tough. Okay, but I was in a car. I didn't get out of the car. Now, this is coming from a guy who faced violence in El Salvador, Argentina during the Falklands War, northern Ireland, and Haiti. I'm not afraid.

I mean, it's not stupid. I know what these countries are. You go there, and anything happens to you. You rent a car in Mexico. So you go to Cancun. It's a beautiful beaches there. And say you rent a car and you get a flat, you're screwed. They see that?

Those cartel people, those thugs down there? Arizona, talking about thugs. Okay. So a 38-year-old woman, Denise Olehaz-Arenciba, was murdered in the Soho 54 hotel in Lower Manhattan. That happened on February 8th. Okay? The guy who murdered her read Alamansuri, 26 years old, fled.

Went to Arizona, Maricopa County. That's Phoenix. Stabbed two women there. They're not dead. They survived. The cops in Arizona got him, and he's now being charged in Maricopa County. The county attorney is Rachel Mitchell.

And even though the murder charge in New York is a bigger charge, and this guy should be extradited back to New York, Ms. Mitchell says, I'm not sending them back there. Roll the tape. These are mandatory prison sentences, and having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area, by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg, I think it's safer to keep him here

and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals, either in our state or county or anywhere in the United States. Now, this is gonna surprise you. That's not fair. Alvin Bragg wouldn't release this guy as bad as Alvin Bragg is, and he's horrible. It would not release this guy,

not on capital murder charges, okay? but Ms. Mitchell is making a very strong point. Maricopa County is much more secure holding criminals than New York City. There's no doubt about it. There's no doubt about it. And she's angry enough about what's happening in New York. She says, I'm going to send him back. He'll face charges here.

It's mandatory prison. I think she'll have to send him back, but she's making a political statement here to embarrass Alvin Bragg, who should be embarrassed. But Bragg wouldn't release the guy. Bragg's office says, quote, is deeply disturbing. The DA Mitchell is playing political games in a murder investigation. This is from Emma Tuttle, spokesperson for Alvin Bragg. boy I wouldn't want that job Emma I'll tell you what that's a tough slog boy smart life so apparently there are problems with the appliances that Americans buy they break much more so than they

used to I don't know I'm not an appliance guy I don't know but it's a big study that says you're 43% more spending on home appliances than you did 10 years ago. That's because they're breaking in, I guess it costs more money, whatever. So we, in the Smart Life segment, have recommended to you that you buy warranties to cover your appliances. Okay, because they're going to break. Now, the companies that we have checked out are Choice Home Warranty, Select Home Warranty, the Home Service Club. Okay, now the Home Service Club is more expensive, but I kind of, I'm not going to, because I don't know anything. It's wrong of me to be.

But again, Choice Home Warranty, Select Home Warranty, Home Service Club. So, smart life, got a bunch of appliances, you take out the warranties, they cut, read the contract. Black Americans celebrating Black History Month, 26% of all Americans celebrate Black History Month, but 76% of African Americans do. Now, do I celebrate? I don't know about celebrating, but there's a lot of African American history in confronting the presidents. So if you don't know. And African Americans don't know. So I guess I'm celebrating it by writing in in a book

so everybody will know. But Black History Month is certainly worthy and fascinating history. Amnestad case alone. Worth your time. Stay in history, February 22nd, 1732. George Washington is born. okay 292 years ago so he's born in westmoreland county in virginia of course that still exists

and that's george as an old guy we don't have any baby pictures of george i wish we did but there wasn't there weren't cameras then we have no baby stuff that's a painting that you just saw okay so he's the eldest of six children george and they got a big farm And then he had three half brothers and one half sister. So there's a big crew. Lots of kids on the farm. And George is the oldest. It's called Ferry Farm.

When George is 11, his father, Augustine, dies. Okay? And the family's left without a patriarch. 123 slaves, okay? That's a big crew on a farm. Washington inherits them and runs the farm, but he's only 11. So his mother, Mary Ball, Washington, is furious that her husband didn't leave the farm to her. The reason the husband didn't leave the farm to marry Washington is she, She's a nut. We opened confronting the presidents with this situation.

What do you see how crazy this woman is? Washington didn't even go to George Washington. Didn't even go to her funeral. It's staggering. Anyway, George doesn't want to be a farmer. He goes, gets a job as a surveyor in the Shenandolyn Valley. Then he signs up for the militia. Then the British take them, because obviously the British were running the colonies at the time.

They take them out to fight in the French. and Indian War. He does very well there. He's very brave. He comes back, a military veteran, only 22 years old when he's fighting in the French and Indian War. And the rest is they say history. He makes a name for himself. In Virginia, he's a warrior. They appoint him as the commander of the colonial army. So George Washington, born 292 years ago today. I mean, the opening of confronting the president is all about George and his mother. I mean, you are going to, you're going to go, what? No cherry tree in this book.

All right, we got mail, and we got a final thought about Holly. Get a lot of mail about, how's Holly doing? We'll bring you up to date, and we'll be right back. Let's go to the mail, Bob, concierge member. And over the weekend, if you are happy concierge members, tell all the people. This is really helping out. It's insurance for your life at a very, very low price. Because we will help you if you get into trouble, and you will, because everybody does.

So Bob says, I'm proud to say the name Alexander Smyrnov mentioned on tonight's broadcast is the first I have heard. This confirms your journalistic integrity, O'Reilly, and my total trust in your reporting. That's right. I had to bring it up. We did not mention this guy. Again, because we cannot confirm anything about him. Stephen Desmond, Pound Point Pleasant, New Jersey.

Trump wins the appeal of his New York City judgment. Can he recover the money paid with interest? He will recover every cent. And it's possible that he'll recover lawyers fees from the state of New York. I don't think that'll happen. But it could. Tom Cannon, North Richmond Hills, Texas, you stated, O'Reilly, there was a fringe group of Republicans in the House that are just like the squad.

You are wrong to make that comparison. There are members of the squad that literally hate the country. I believe you'd be hard pressed to find fringe Republicans who hold that same belief. I think you're right about that. I don't think the far-right Republicans hate their country, but that wasn't the point. The point was that you have extremists in both parties. So McCarthy should still be Speaker of the House. He did a good job, in my opinion, humble opinion.

He got booted because of the right-wing extremists of the Republican Party in the House. That hurt the country. Hurt the party, hurt the country. Johnson, I don't know. I'm watching him. He's all right, it seems. McCarthy was a good Speaker of the House. He grasped the issues.

the issues, he had negotiating skills, and they booted him. Matt Gates and these guys, I mean, come on. Extremism does not help the country, no matter what side it's on. Jeff Fike, Burton, Michigan. Very much enjoyed your interview with Phil Balboni tonight in authoritative discussion on Ukraine and Israel, something sorely lacking from the corporate media. Okay, so it's daily chatter.com.

That's our foreign news partner. I'm glad you liked the discussion. Phil's a very smart guy. You want interest in foreign news. You want to be there. Carl Ochevsky, Al-Tuna, Pennsylvania. The message from your guest, who was your former boss, is ominous. The other NATO countries cannot help Ukraine because they stood down at the end of the Cold War.

I learned something. I did not know that. that the munitions factories in the EU countries aren't up to speed. Therefore, the heavy weaponry all comes from the USA to Ukraine. I never even thought of that. Now, Germany, I think, is an exception. They could turn it out pretty fast. Shane Sager, Central Point, Oregon.

How could Franklin D. Roosevelt be ranked as the second best president after he forcibly relocated Japanese Americans to concentration camps during World War II. There weren't concentration camps, but I'm not excusing it. Huge mistake. Every single president made huge mistakes. Every, all 45 of them. Ray McDonald, Picayune, Mississippi. My wife and I enjoy the notespin news every night, especially the word of the day.

We end up checking the meaning who selects the word. you're looking at them. If you see it on the No Spin News, it's me. I'm the editorial guy here. Now, we have a great staff, but their primary function is to research. I set the lineup. And the reason I don't tell you what the meaning of the word is, is because my, when I was in grammar school, St. Bridgett's the nun said, if you look it up, you'll never forget it.

Getting inheritance after the person passes makes an attorney rich.

It's a little more complicated than that, Dorothy. If you give money to your children, you better make sure they are responsible citizens and not going to waste it now obviously after you die there's nothing you can do about you got to be careful here all right you can't indulge because that can sap motivation but you know be as generous as you can be john mcagan kansas city Missouri.

And Holly's a really nice dog. So she had a tumor removed from her brain. And just like human beings, it takes a long time to recover. Now, Holly is stable.
