Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, December 4th, 2024, stand up for your country. Another busy day here. This morning, I did an extensive interview with La Express out of Paris, France. Big magazine over there, covers, you USA politics for the European audience, of course.

And it was very instructive for me because the guy who interviewed me is the head of their American news coverage, smart guy. And we talked about an hour. And the questions that he asked, we were almost naive. And he was surprised by my answers. Now, I'm going to write a message of the day on it for tomorrow on Bill O'Reilly.com. That's free. read it. I hope you go there every morning and check us out. But in a nutshell, I hate that

cliche, but it was about the governance style of Trump versus Biden. And when I was explaining how Donald Trump conducted himself his first four years, the LA Express guy was going, really? I said, you didn't know any of this? You don't know really what's going on? And they don't. And it's because of the media in Europe, unlike here, it's the corrupt corporate media. Over there, it's the corrupt state media. But it's the same bubble. Always look at things from a left-wing point of view.

Anyway, when that article comes out, we'll get a translation of it, and we'll put it on bill o'Reilly.com, and I'll write the message, as I mentioned. So that was a busy morning. Now, the talking points memo this evening is the danger Mexico poses. to the USA. You know, the headlines were all about Ukraine and Gaza. They're bad. And the terrorists in Gaza and Hezbollah, Hamas, all that. Iran's behind them. We know that. Iran's a threat. And Putin's a threat. But the bigger threat on a day-to-day basis to you and me is Mexico. And I'm going to prove that for you right now. And then we have a guess who may dispute me. And that's what we like here.

debate. So about 37 million Americans visit Mexico, tour down there. Every year, 37 million, they dump more than $20 billion into the Mexican economy. But that is dwarfed by the staggering amount of money that Mexicans working in the USA send back to their families. That is the second biggest industry in Mexico next to oil. The repatriation of money back to Mexico. So the Mexican government is 100 percent dependent on the United States of America. Nevertheless, it has not cooperated in four years with trying to stem the unbelievable flow of narcotics into this country 14 million foreign nationals coming through Mexico into the United States. And I'll prove that in a moment.

Trump is threatening tariffs on Mexico. Probably not going to have to do it because Claudia Scheinbaum, the new president is going to fold. But for now, she's being defiant. Understand that Mexico gets about $500 billion by selling stuff in America. So we're adding up now, tourism, money going back, and $500 billion of Mexican stuff we buy. The United States spends about $370 billion buying Mexican stuff. So it's a huge advantage to them. So when we have a situation where last year,

2024 fiscal year, which ended in October. Ready for this? The Border Patrol seized 275,000 pounds of hard drugs at the border. 275,000 pounds, all coming from Mexico, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana, whatever it may be. flooding, and the Border Patrol maybe gets 20% of it, the rest just gets in. And the drug cartels are worth billions, maybe trillions of dollars selling narcotics and getting them into the United States. Now, you would think that Mexico City would crack down, but they can't because the Mexican

cartels are stronger than the federal government. And they tell government officials, judges, cops, military people, hey, you do what we say or will kill you and your family. And they will. That's no idle threat. So the government in Mexico City has lost control of the entire country and who's suffering Americans. Now, Claudia Scheinbaum has said this more than once, and she's a socialist, by the way.

Well, it's your fault. It's America's fault because you guys have the population that uses the drugs that wants the drugs. Your fault, don't blame us. Well, that's bull. It is our fault that we have so many drug addicts, and we should be cracking down on those people by forcing them. And I mean that literally, into rehabilitation. But the narcotic problem emanates from Mexico. All right. So this is the latest. There is another migrant caravan. I think it's about 2,000 people trying to get to the border before Trump is inaugurated. And here's a portion of a news report. Go.

At this hour, I'm Christina O'I.O. in Dallas. And here are your top stories. Mexican immigration authorities have broken up a pair of migrant caravans headed to the U.S. border. Activists say that some of the migrants were bused to cities in southern Mexico and other. were offered transit papers offered transit papers okay well where do you think they're going to transit too now here's a statement made by the new president claudia shine bomb after she talked with donald trump quote in our conversation president trump i explained to him the comprehensive strategy that mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon respecting human rights Thanks to this, migrants and caravans are assisted before they reach the border.

We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders, but to build bridges between government and between peoples. Oh, how nice. What virtue signaling, how, oh, we want to build bridges. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Now, President Trump knows this. So I'm sure he's getting across to Claudia Shinebaum. We're going to break you.

Okay, we're going to send Mexico into the deepest depression they've ever had. The people down there, we don't have anything to begin with, the poverty rate's about 40%. Why do you think you're coming here? Okay, we're breaking you if you don't stop this. It's not hard to stop it. Border with Guatemala and Mexico is short. You put the Mexican army down there. Nobody comes through.

The border from Brownsville to San Diego is long. 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. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free.

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 world's 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. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. But Trump will take care of that with some wall and increased presence down there. But the most important thing are the cartels. If the Mexican government would work with the American government, we could wipe them off the face of the earth. Kill them all. And they should be killed, just like ISIS. They're just as dangerous as ISIS.

Why are we not killing these people? Why? And Mexico City should be cooperating with Washington, D.C. We have the technology. We know where they are. We give them a warning. Get out of the business. You got two weeks.

You stay in a business, sorry, can't be responsible. I believe that will happen in the new Trump administration. I want to believe it. People believe what they want to believe. I want to believe it. But I think it will. And that's the memo. Let's bring in our pal Rubin and Everett.

From Carlsbad, California, a syndicated column. Yes, you may have read his stuff. Very good, very astute. And not many people know this, but after I love Fox News 2017, Ruben Everett was our first guest that we ever had on the No Spin News. And he's back. You look a little older, Rubin, but I'm aging in dog years. So, you know, that's just the way it goes.

Where am I making my mistake? Bill, so good to be with you again, my friend. I think the place you're making your mistake is I'm often mistaken for a Republican, not just because I appear on Bill O'Reilly Show, but because I believe in what Reagan said in the 1980s about taking responsibility for your actions. And I think that American employers, for instance, need to own up to the fact that we've become addicted to undocumented immigrant labor going on 30 years now, not just because we think it's cheaper than U.S. labor, but because it's more reliable.

These people show up. They don't flunk their drug tests. They actually don't sleep in. They show up on time and they work. And also the drug problem, as the President of Mexico correctly pointed out, we have an addiction problem. I have three kids who are teenagers, but since they were babies, I've had doctors prescribed pill after pill after pill after pill for them. So many of these, and you've done shows about this, many of these pill mills, many of this addiction that we've bred in this country to take a pill

and make it feel better. When I see these stories about people ODing on fentanyl, for instance, Bill, I see stories that read like this. A basketball team was celebrating a big win. They were doing cocaine and oh my goodness, it was laced with fentanyl. Well, you know, your granddad was a cop. My dad was a top. And I was growing up to not use cocaine, not use, you know, weed and drugs and pot. So I'm always mystified by how it is that when people use drugs, they shouldn't be using that ends up being laced with fentanyl, we want to blame Mexico. I'll say this, just my last point, we don't have, in 35 years of covering this issue, we don't just have an issue with bad laws and bad borders. We have an issue with bad parenting. Because as parents, we've not stepped up

to the plate, put our kids to do these jobs that our immigrants are doing, and also tell them just don't do drugs. I don't disagree with your points, but I think that they are a little bit naive. So point number one, Congress absolutely has to make a new immigration law. They call it comprehensive. That's a bunch of both. And the new immigration law has to give out more green cards, more working permits to migrants who want to work legally. That has to happen.

Whether Donald Trump gets behind it, I don't know. But in conjunction with sealing off the chaos, that has to happen. That's number one. Number two, the United States of America is responsible for people using narcotics. Yet nobody will deal with the problem because, oh, it's a disease and you've got to feel sorry for them, all of that kind of stuff. And you're not going to change that, Rubin. You're not. If it were me, I would have involuntary, that means you would force the criminal drug addicts

convicted of a crime. You either go to jail or you go to rehab for a year, a year and a half, like they did in Singapore. And Singapore has no drug problem. And I did my thesis at Harvard on that. I went to Singapore. And I saw with my own eyes that when you isolate the market, you take it away. There's no market. And particularly if you're punishing drug dealers. But right now, we're

an emergency situation. You would agree with that, right? 14 million foreign nationals unattended in this country, 275 pounds of narcotics being seized. We're in a crisis situation. You've got to stop the crisis, right? I agree. We've got to stop the crisis. We also got to think about how we got here so we don't get into another crisis. Well, I don't mind about that. That was Kamala Harris who was going to get to the root cause, okay? She did a bang-up job there. She didn't really that. Very, very brilliant woman. But you've got to stop the bleeding before you can go to the healing. And you've got to stop the bleeding is, hey, look, President Shinebaum, you're going to do what we tell you to do, or we're going to punish you. And we're going to punish you hard. Yeah, that's not going to work, Bill. Here's why. No, here's not. Here's why that's not going to work. If you quote, break Mexico, if we go down to Mexico and pull a John Wayne, we're going to push ourselves around down there, the end result is you're going to have, again, as you said, a Mexican depression. What happens when the Mexican economy goes south? Many more Mexicans come up to the north. Not they're not going to be able to come up

because they're going to seal it out. You can seal that border down. No, no, we've had this conversation my friend for over 20 years. There's different between sealing the border and securing the border. I'm with you that you should secure the border. You're never going to seal a 2,000 mile border. You put the U.S. military on the border, you can, and you will, and Trump will do it. Okay. He'll say national security. He'll put the military right on that border. You're not to put the military underground, because there are tunnels that go underground. Well, there'll be some that get through.

But it'll be, and if you do it in conjunction with the people smugglers, and you wipe out the cartels, as they did with ISIS, if you're re-killing the killers, I methodically went over how Obama and Trump did it, step by step. And you could do the same thing with the car. It's easier to do it with the cartels, because everybody knows where they are. ISIS and al-Qaeda is hard to find them. It's not hard to find the cartels. They're partying and up in Alcapulco. You can get them. They live in giant lavish mansions that can be cinder in 15 minutes. So anyway, I am a very, very aggressive person on this issue. I don't believe

that Mexico is looking out for America at all, Rubin, at all in any way. They're not looking out for America. And unless they change, we got to punish them. Last word. I agree with you. They're not looking out for America. Looking out for Mexico, just as we look out for America. You're right. They need that $50 billion a year that Mexicans send up to the United States. It's clear they're out for themselves. But ultimately, they do us a lot of good as well by providing intel, a trade that goes back and forth. Over 100,000 people come from San Diego into Mexico every day to go to work and back and forth. So this is not a divorce we can afford to have. We do have a friend and ally down there.

And by the way, if you want to know what's like to have a hostile power on your border, talk to Israel or Ukraine about that. We don't need it. All right, Rubin. Always great to debate with you. You have a Merry Christmas. Really appreciate your time today. My friend, thank you.

Okay. Joe Biden coming back from Africa, but before he came back, he said to the Africa, hey, I'm going to give you another billion. I'm going to send you another billion. This is so unbelievable. So just, Biden in less than four years has added $8 trillion to the national debt. By far, the biggest spending president of all time, it's not even close.

You know, we're going to give you a billion Africa. Okay. Number one, does anybody in the world think the billion dollars of tax money going from the USA to Africa, 51 countries, 31 countries, is going to get to the people who need the money? Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Anyone, Bueller? No, it's not. Okay. Number two, well, let me let the president speak for himself. Go. The United States continue to be the world's largest provider of humanitarian aid and development assistance. That's going to increase. You know, that's the right thing for the wealthiest nation of the world to do. And today, I'm announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic. droughts and food and security okay good but uh i'm going to have to pay the tip so are you but hunter biden's not going to have to pay it because the pardon obviated all of his obligation to pay back taxes and and he fined he's off scot-free

so he dodged millions of dollars hunter biden did in taxes that's why he was charged by the federal government, but the party wipes it out. There's not on his money going, it's my money and your money. And it's not going to get to the people who have food insecurity. It's not even going to get close to those people. It's like Haiti. How many billions of dollars have been pumped into that island? Half island.

And the people are worse off now how they've ever been. Joe Biden, everyone. There he is. What a guy. He is just the best. All right, so Jill Biden is going to the Notre Dame extravaganza over the weekend. So is Donald Trump. Most powerful man in the world, Mr. Trump, very good move to go there.

Cathedral at Notre Dame, if you haven't seen it, put it on your list. It's just next to St. Peter's in Rome. It is the most dramatic. And every time I go there, and it's always my first stop when I go to Paris. I told the French guy today was interviewing me. I said, when I go to Paris, Cathedral at Notre Dame, always my first stop. And what happened was that there was a giant fire on April 15, 2019, and it was because the roof of the cathedral was still wood, and that wood, all right, was in place since the 12th century,

the 1100s. And the wood finally went up in flames, causing the destruction of the cathedral. And it took a billion dollars, one billion dollars. The French government raised a lot of a private money to restore it. It's now restored. And Jill Biden and Donald Trump will be there. Now, it'll be interesting if there's a photo op of those two together. I don't believe there will be, but it would be nice, I think. But it's good that the United States is getting behind this. Okay, let's get back to American politics. So Pete Hegseth, not going to be Secretary of Defense.

I told you that on November 21st. All right, I said that there's just no way roll the table. Now, going ahead, Pete Hegseth, not going to make it as defense secretary for a variety of reasons, many of which are unfair. But he's not going to make it. And the reason is that he just doesn't have the experience to run a complicated agency like the Pentagon. Now, he's being smeared by the left-wing press, but, you know, that is like every day now. If you are even a moderate Republican and you get a position of visibility, you're going to be smeared to famed, accused, anonymous sources, every day all day.

That's a disgrace, but that's what our country has come to. And another we can do about it, unless we sue them. And if you're a famous person like Pete Hegseth, there's a different set of loss for you. And you're not going to win. And then they, you know, it costs millions of dollars, and on and on and on. So people ask me, okay, so this is a bad reflection on Donald Trump. Not really. Because this is what I believe the strategy was.

So Matt Gates, okay, Attorney General nominee, out. Pig Hegseth, Defense Department nominee, out. Trump replaced Gates with Pambody. Good choice. She'll get through. I don't know who they're talking about Governor DeSantis in Florida. I don't know that. I have no connections down there.

I've never even met DeSantis, one of the few I haven't met. So I don't know if that, but logical. I don't know if DeSantis wants the job, but it would be logical. But what Trump is doing, he's sending a message that I'm blowing these places up. I don't want woke generals. I don't want woke FBI. I don't want left-winger using their power to persecute other opponents, political opponents. That's the message that Trump sends.

So he nominates bomb throwers that'll get a lot of attention to get that message across. That's what he's doing. Next one will be Robert Kennedy, Jr. Not going to happen. All right? What I would do, because I think that Kennedy is a very good nutritional point of view. And that's by far and away the most important thing now. All right, far and away.

Get that sugar and the garbage that our food industry is put in. out under control. I would make him an advisor, a presidential advisor on nutrition. That way you don't have to go through any voting. But Kennedy are going to run health and human services? No. He doesn't have any interest in doing that. And he's not going to get through the Senate. Okay. By the way, if you disagree with anything I'm saying tonight, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name and town. Now, the only case against Donald Trump that remains in play, is the Georgia election interference case. And that is from our friend Fannie Willis,

53 years old, of the DA in Fulton County. That's Atlanta. And now a judge has ruled that Fonny has to hand over all communications between her office and special counsel, Jack Smith. Ooh, ooh, ooh, big, big, because Fonnie's been dodging it. Now, Judicial Watch filed the freedom of information.

We want to know, FONI, you've been talking to the federal prosecutor. And what have you been doing? Go hand it over. Fannie wouldn't. But the local Georgia judge is a state judge. Said, you got him. Love to see that. Okay?

Now, I don't know what Fonnie is going to do. I think she's going to wind up being prosecuted for something. Now, Judicial Branch won't cooperate with us. I'd have Mon and Harpy, but they won't. I don't know why, and I don't care why. We're respectful, you don't wanna cooperate, you're afraid, fine, okay? But I'll follow this case very, very closely.

Not gonna come to anything. Trump's never gonna be put on trial in Georgia. Smart life. You like these segments? I hope you do, because we like them. So a bunch of people said if Trump's elected, they're gonna leave the country. Here is a partial list, famous people.

America Ferrara. Barbara Streisand. Christina Applegate. I'll miss Christina. I was on at Leno show with her. Very nice woman. Laverne Cox, Cher, Sharon Stone, Mini Driver, Sophie Turner, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi. They're already in England, and their house got flooded. And Lily Reinhardt, whoever that is, I don't even know who that is. Anyway, they said, we're going. They're not going to go. Okay. Although Ellen went. and got flooded, flooded out in the Cotswolds. I shouldn't be laughing. That's not funny.

Anyway, I don't care whether they go or not. Although I said, I'm going to miss Christina, I think she's a nice woman. Now, here are the top 10 cities from Mercer's quality of life. I don't know what Mercer's quality of life is, but they put out the list. If you aren't American and you want to live somewhere else, and if Kamala won, it would have been a lot of conservatives and right-winger's going, I'm getting out of here, right? All right, here are the top ten cities, Zurich, Switzerland, Vienna, Austria, Geneva, Switzerland,

Copenhagen, Denmark, Auckland, New Zealand, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Frankfurt, and Vancouver, tied, Bern, Switzerland, that's how you say it, Bal, Switzerland. Now, I've been to all of them except Auckland, so come back to me. Here you go. Zurich, Switzerland, nice place to live. A little more. Oregon. Okay, big lake, too cold to swim, but it's very affluent, under control. Since they knocked out, they legalized hard drugs, total disaster, total disaster. So they rescinded that

like Oregon, and the town's back under control. Vienna, Austria, boring town, beautiful town, beautiful. I was there Christmas Eve, and they threw me out of St. Stephen's Church with the Vienna boys' choirers, I got booted because they wanted money, I couldn't afford it. So on Christmas Eve, this Catholic boy in a foreign country got booted out of Steeves' church. So I don't have fine memories of Vienna. Geneva, Switzerland, one of the most picturesque towns. A little boring, but if I had a choice between Zurich and Geneva, I'd go to Geneva. Copenhagen, Denmark, no.

freezing cold, nothing there. No. Food isn't great. Auckland, haven't been. Amsterdam, unless you're a pothead, I don't know why you want to live in Amsterdam. Freezing. Is there on New Year's Eve? It was crazy. Well, that big drug place. You don't want to go there. Frankfurt, Germany, the worst. The worst. Munich is much better than Franklin. Vancouver, Canada, drug place. You know, people all over the place, he wouldn't go there. Burn and Ball, Switzerland. Switzerland, I could live in Switzerland. All right? If I had to get out of here, I'd probably go to Switzerland for six months and the Bahamas for six. Anyway, if I'm deported, that's where you can find me. Stay in history, November 4th, 1954. The first Burger

King opens in Miami, Florida. That's 70 years ago. Two guys, James McLemore. David Edgerton, they were both at Cornell University School of Hotel Management, which is excellent school. They started as Burger King. All right, now there are almost 7,000 Burger Kings in the USA, 7,000. And they sold it to restaurant brands international Canadian company. But Burger King, not the most successful franchise. Here they are. McDonald's number one, $153 billion a year, Starbucks 29, Chick-fil-A, that's my favorite, 22, Taco Bell, 15, Wendy's 12, Dunkin' Donuts 12, Burger King 11, Subway 10, Chipotle 10, Domino's more than 9 million. So fast food exploded 70 years ago today in Miami with Burger King.

I'm back in a moment with a final thought. Okay, final thought I was on, as I mentioned earlier in the brunch. with Jillian Michael. She's an L.A. based nutrition person and been around and a very, I like her. I think she's a liberal person. That's okay. But she's a nice disposition. And we did about an hour on her podcast. I very rarely do more than a half hour because of my so busy. I mean, it's doing hours a lot. But I wanted to give her the time because she was asking questions from a liberal point of view. Not a contentious thing, but information. And I'm trying to explain. Here's how the progressive left sees the country. Here's why they do what they do.

So it dropped, and you can see it on YouTube, Apple, Spotify, all that. If you do watch it, please let me know what you think. So I want to thank Gillian Michaels for having me on. And I never take any of this stuff for granted, by the way. There are a lot of people who won't have on. Refuse. Jane Paulie. I told you about Jane. Jane. Got to wise up. CBS. All right. Thank you for watching and listening tonight to the NOSBIN News. We'll see you tomorrow.
