Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, July 8, 2025, stand up for your country. America is undergoing a cultural shift. All right. So after years of drifting leftward, That's how Biden and Obama got elected. Now, that stopped completely. And the country's coming back.

Now, it's not in conservative territory yet, but the progressive left, the far left, is desperate. And they are in serious trouble. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. I will make my case, as always, on a factual basis. Okay, here we go. go. So there is anger on the left. The big bill signed July 4th by President Trump stops progressive taxation for three and a half years. That is where the progressives live. If you just want to break it all the way down, stop the trans stuff and all that of the

business, and you want to get to the essential progression point, it is this. You take money away from the achievers, from the wealthy. You take it away. The government takes that money away from them and gives it to people who are not achieving very much. That is the progressive philosophy. When that is impossible to do at the federal level, because of this bill, the progressive movement collapses.

They have nowhere to go. add to that, the Supreme Court saying to the progressives, we are not going to honor any district federal judge stopping presidential orders or congressional legislation. We're not going to allow it. You have to have a jurisdictional basis. It's complicated, but we went over it. The Supreme Court has stopped that madness.

So now where do the progressives go? can't go into the court system any longer, and in the political system, Donald Trump rules as Republicans control the House and the Senate. So progressives, at least until November 26, are screwed. Okay? This is the only way I can say it. They got nowhere to go. They are furious.

this. And they are acting out. Okay? So it used to be that the left-wing media was powerful enough to ram home what the progressives wanted. Gay marriage, a good example of that. Okay? So when I started at Fox, even Barack Obama was against gay marriage. Nobody wanted gay marriage. All right? They said, no, no, no, we get a partner. This shows, but gay marriage, got to leave it alone. because it's a sacrament in many religions. Well, now we have gay marriage all over the place, and that was largely a media-driven thing. The media shamed people.

If you were opposing gay marriage, you were homophobic, you were a terrible person, you got attacked, and the media won that, left-wing media won it. Not that I care, I never cared about the issue at all. I suggested that for a traditional society, we'd be better to have the partnerships, legal partnerships, but am I upset? No, I don't get involved with that kind of stuff. But I do understand how the media got it done. Then you have the left-wing media under Trump falling apart. So CBS News is to pay

Trump's $16 million for favoring Kamala Harris. That's pretty much it. ABC News has to pay Trump's 16 million for defaming him. That's George Stepanopoulos, okay? CNN has collapsed. The audience is gone. It's not coming back. Those are the three big outlets, and NBC is going to collapse, too. You wait and see.

It will. So now, both the progressive left and the media allies are venting hatred against Trump. It's always been bad, but now it's at a level. Never before seen in this country except for Abraham Lincoln. All right. So the floods devastate Texas. And it's horrible with so many children were killed. And George Epinopoulos, the face of ABC News, owned by Disney, comes on the air and basically says that the flood deaths were caused by Trump's cutbacks in some federal agencies.

That's what Stepanopoulos says. That is about his irresponsible, and he wasn't alone. Stepanoffalo wasn't alone, but he was the biggest name pedaling now. And he didn't wait until after the catastrophe was over. He did it right in the middle of it. I've never seen anything that irresponsible ever. So last night I went on News Nation, Leland Vedder, and we were talking about the collapse of the progressive left,

and here's what I said, go. What angered me in your montage the most was Stephanopoulos. And I think these people need to be called out now. Look, Scott Pelley, CBS 60 Minutes hates Trump's guts. All right. Stephanopoulos hates his guts. That's why CBS and ABC had to settle for combined $35 million. Because those two men prominently featured have now discarded.

have now discarded any fairness and are on a jihad to destroy Donald Trump. It's very important for those media companies to acknowledge that. And apparently they can't rein these guys in. Sevenovilus's question was so hateful, and he had nothing to back it up. Right. So why is Disney allowing that? Now, before Leland came on air at 9 o'clock and interviewed me, News Nation did an hour reporting on what happened in the floods, brought on a national weather service person

who had a timeline of the warnings and clearly said, we didn't have any cutbacks, we did everything the same we always do but the people were in the woods they have a lot of them internet access so they didn't hear it and apparently nobody above drove down and said get to get the hell out of here that was good reporting honest reporting that news nation did that's why I'm associated with that network that's why I I'm on programs. So anyway, when you get to that level where individual death, tragic death, is blamed on a person in the United States because of ideological hatred, you know you're in his own. That's the twilight zone. In addition, PBS, NPR, Planned Parenthood, no more federal

money. And that's right. 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. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. 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. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show

every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home. New episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. If you don't believe that NPR and PBS are progressive organizations, then you're lying to

yourself. And Planned Parenthood is in business pretty much to promote abortion. Yeah, they do some other things, but they can operate on their own. need a Roman Catholic's money, tax money, to promote abortion that the Roman Catholic thinks is morally irreprehensible. You don't do that. It's against our Constitution. So they're gone, as far as federal money is concerned, and then left the schools. So you saw the University of Pennsylvania knock out all the trans stuff. Harvard's going to lose. I mean, it's already hamaging money. Columbia University doesn't know what to do. Barnard, which is associated with

Columbia, they surrendered today. And they're on the run. So every single progressive tenant because of President Trump is on the decline, severe decline. Go to California. Is there a more troubled state in the Union than California? The National Guard had to go in there, along with Marines because the governor and the mayor of LA wouldn't protect their own people from violent demonstrators. They would not do it. Does it get worse than that? Did the National Guard go anywhere else? So you can see that the progressive movement is for the moment, I'm sure they'll make a comeback, a lot of money, a lot of Soros money, and they have no leader. who's the leader? Chuck Schumer? I guess he's the most powerful Democrat. The man would lose

a primary to Ocasio-Cortez if she decides to run against him. Schumer's done, finished. I saw him over the weekend. He looks just shot. Okay? And that's a memo. All right, so yesterday Trump met with BB Netanyahu, pretty much doing victory laps about the Iranian bombing. But Netanyahu surprised Trump. Go. So I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominated you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved. And you should get it.

Thank you very much. This I didn't know. Well, thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much, Beaming. Thank you. Thank you for everything you're doing. Thank you.

It's great. Your Honor. All right. So Trump's not going to get the Nobel of that, but if he gets Putin to stop and then they make some kind of arrangement with China, which is all doable, a Putin wildcard, but China, I know this story from inside is doable. So we'll keep an eye on that, obviously. And then Trump surprised some people by saying this about Ukraine. Go. On Ukraine, Mr. President, are you planning to send more weapons to Ukraine? We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves.

They're getting hit very hard now. No, that was new, and it has to be done. You can't let Putin get away with this. Now, here's how bad Putin is. This story was not widely reported in America, but the transportation, minister, a man named Roman Stairvaat. He's Roman. He's dead. Now, he was involved with Krust, a province in southern Russia, where the Ukrainians got

in there, and Putin fired him, and a few hours later, he committed suicide, so the Russian authorities say. Okay. Now, I'm skeptical about the suicide for this reason. Under Putin in Russia, 75 high-profile public servants have died. 75, okay, nine have fallen out of windows. That gives the balance, okay? 65 have had accidents or unexpected heart attacks.

With an injection, you can bring on a heart attack. One guy shot himself five times in the chest, and the Putin government said it was a suicide. So anyway, if you're applying for jobs, I don't know whether the Kremlin is the best place for you. You might not want to send your resume there. All right, so Congress is in and out this summer. They need vacation time. no problem with that. But tomorrow they're coming back in the House,

the Oversight Committee, hear testimony from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, and this is about the Biden mental and physical capacity. There's O'Connor and Biden. You'll remember that Dr. O'Connor said Biden was absolutely a perfect health, both mentally and physically. Well, now the Oversight Committee wants to put them under oath. Private session, closed door, deposition, no, under oath.

And O'Connor does not want to do it. So he asked for a delay. We understand he is not going to get the delay, that he'll have to go in. He doesn't show up. That's contempt. He'll be subpoenaed. But a lot of things happening on this oversight committee. So joining us now from Arlington, Virginia is James Lynch.

He's a reporter for the National Review. You're following this closer than I am. the Oversight Committee obviously wants to prove, the Republicans want to prove, that Biden was mentally deficient. Am I right there? Yeah, the Oversight Committee is trying to get to the bottom of the cover-up related to Biden's mental decline, and they're looking into the possibility that Biden officials use the presidential auto-penn to sign documents without his authorization. Do you believe there was a cover-up? And if so, what is the evidence you point to?

Yeah, I think it's pretty apparent at this point that there was a cover-up. The investigation is more looking into the extent to which it was covered up. I think there's plenty of public evidence that there is a cover-up. You know, people like you, people like myself saw for years that Biden was struggling. He was slowing down. He was making mistakes all the time. He was forgetting things. We saw that in his public appearances and in his speeches.

And then we had the Her report, Special Counsel Robert Hur, investigated Biden's handling of classified documents. And as part of that investigation, Her interviewed Biden for several hours over the course of two days. And what Her concluded was that Biden's memory was failing and that he was forgetting even basic and important things. Why hasn't that report been made public? Why haven't we seen that report?

The report is public. You can get it on the Justice Department's website. and the Trump administration also released audio from hers interview with Biden. I didn't know that. So all you got to do is go to the Justice Department website and the full Her report is there to be read. Yeah, you can find the Her report.

And also now you can listen to the audio. The Trump administration released it after the Biden administration did everything it could not do. So you can listen to the audio, Biden stuttering and forgetting things. Where is that? How do you get it? Yeah, it should be, you can,

can check axios on youtube they have the audio axios on youtube okay all right so at this point i think you're right that every republican on the oversight committee believes there was a cover up and every democrat wants to cover up to cover up would that be accurate they don't want this out yeah i think democrats just don't want to talk about this anymore because it implicates their entire party we had every democrat coming to biden's defense after Robert Hurr's report came out saying that, you know, look, he's the most fit he's ever been, he's fit to be president, we don't see what wrong with him. These are just cheap fakes. So they just want to pretend like this never happened and move on. I think that's a good assessment. I think

that's a good assessment. Now, let's go inside the oversight committee. What do they, they're spending taxpayer money, okay? Most Americans agree with you and me that Biden was diminished. I don't, think every poll shows that. So why are we even going through this exercise? What is the point? Is it just further embarrassment for the Democrats and Biden? Yeah, I think the point is to find out who is actually making decisions during Biden's presidency, especially towards the end. We know that there's a book called Original Sin that came out, and we know that people inside the White House thought that Biden was at best a senior member of the board of people who were running the country. there's a Politburo of senior officials who had unprecedented amounts of power for people who were not elected, who are not president.

And so the investigation is really about just how much they covered up Biden's mental incapacity, how they worked with the media to cover it up, and then what decisions were made that Biden might not have known about. Now, the only guy that I see in legal jeopardy is the doctor, O'Connor. Because if he lied to the American people about the state of Joe Biden's health, that's a crime. That's fraud. Yeah, I think O'Connor's perhaps the most important witness for the whole investigation, and he's supposed to be interviewed tomorrow that is still expected to happen. But what O'Connor knows more than anybody else is just how Biden's, health was behind the scenes. He released a physical in 2024 saying that, you know, Biden's

completely healthy and totally up for the job. And then we find out a couple months ago that Biden has an aggressive form of prostate cancer. And so O'Connor really better than anybody else would know what Biden's health was looking like and what the White House was doing to give people the impression that Biden was actually okay and that he was fit to serve. But O'Connor's got jeopardy here. He himself is in trouble if he falsified. his medical reports about the president of the United States. So I expect a lot of evasion, maybe a Fifth Amendment. You know, Conner's going to have lawyers there with him,

but he's not going to throw anybody under the bus. He's just going to try to evade to what I expect to happen. 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. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, and he's already been trying to evade. I think Billy alluded to the fact that he was trying to get the interview delayed. His lawyer has been making claims about patient privilege

and being able to not discuss certain things because of that. And, you know, the Oversight Committee has rejected what O'Connor has been trying to do. Well, I mean, tomorrow we'll cover it a full-born. Final question. The auto-pen. So, I don't know. I don't know what Biden, if he was sitting at a desk, I don't know why he couldn't sign the documents himself. I don't know.

But if he didn't sign the doc, obviously he didn't because he used the auto-pen. But if you didn't know what the document said, then somebody else signed him with an auto pen, that opens up another criminal investigation, does it not? Yeah, that's a whole other can of worms if they have evidence that Biden didn't know what was going on and wasn't playing any role in signing those documents, especially towards the end of his presidency when he was even more diminished than it was. Yeah. Yeah. It's a mess. All right, James. If you get anything, let us know, please. We appreciate your time very much. And as we said, we will follow up on this for the rest of the week.

Okay, some relief at the airports for you. You don't have to take your shoes off anymore. TSA put out a memo. They're going to roll it out. You don't take your shoes off when you go through the security line. It will save some time. It was always annoying. A little interesting timeline. The shoe thing started December 2001, three months after 9-11. And it was because Richard Reed, the British terrorist, tried to blow up a plane with explosives hid in his shoe. But that's where it started. In 2006 in America, the TSA said everybody takes their shoes off. Then you could get some elevated security status where you didn't have to take it off.

Now, what you need is a real ID document, passport or a license. I have a driver's license to real ID to show and get in a line where you don't have to take your shoes off. But that's an improvement because this TSA intrusion, I'm sure you've been on the lines as I have. It really can get people into trouble on connecting flights. There's a follow up on Kilmar, Abrago Garcia. He was the guy in Maryland who was deported to El Salvador. Supreme Court ruled to add to say bring him back. He is back, 29 years old, from Maryland.

Now he's charged with human trafficking, and he allegedly did that in Tennessee. Okay? So the case is in Tennessee, but it's being overseen by a federal judge Paula Zixis, Z-I-N-I-S, in Maryland. Now, she may grant bail to Garcia. you're still being held.

If that happens, ISIS immediately he's going to be picked up and deported. That would not be good. I want the guy charged and tried for human trafficking because he was used by the progressive left to try to undermine Homeland Security.

That's a big story. Now, if this guy turns out to be a human trafficker, that destroys what I said to beginning of the program, this entire progressive thing. It's another brick in the wall. Okay. So that is in motion. Smart lives. So price of food is absolutely insane. And I did a commentary for our flagship WABC radio today. I'm on there with common sense at 9 p.m. every night on W.A.B.C. And I said, look, one of the reasons this guy, Mandani is even competitive in a New York City mayoral race is

because of the price of food. There is a restaurant on Eastern Long Island named Roses in Amagansett is charging $34 for a cheeseburger. Now, you've got to be a complete moron to buy that. However, there are rich people who don't care about $34.

Oh, I want the burger, and they'll buy it. And that's why it's on a menu and the restaurant's selling them. Poorer people, less affluent people who have to care about money, that makes them angry. Now, smart life. A couple of apps could save you some pretty significant money on food. Pen, paper, remember I say every day?

If you go to lifehacker.com, lifehacker.com, they have a big food waste thing there. and you can get food at a very, very low price. The main one that we found was too good to go. This is found in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2016, it's got 100 million registered users. What this is, is restaurants go to this too good to go in areas all over the world and say,

look, we'll bundle food for this price, usually very low. But you don't know what's in there. You don't know what the restaurants are giving you. It's not like you order. But you get a bundle of food for a very low price delivered to you. And in USA, it's New York, L.A., San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, on and on and on and on. So you can get it. Too good to go.

They call them surprise bags. Now, if you are just getting by and food prices, are hammering you. You might want to check out Lifehacker.com and too good to go. First two is T-O-O-O. Good. T-O-G-O.

Smart life. Most boring cities in the country. This is from finance buzz. They've ranked 75 cities. Here are the five most boring. Jacksonville, Florida, Wichita, Kansas, corporate Christie, Texas, Sioux Falls, South Dakota,

Memphis, Tennessee. I have had the privilege of being in those precincts, all of them. So let me run it down. Come back to me. So Jacksonville, that's Duval County, Florida. It's not an action place. You've got a professional football team there. But Jacksonville Beach is nice.

And then you can go south on Route 1, and there's a lot of nice beaches there. Okay. Wichita, Kansas, it's a total Western experience. Not a lot going on there, but if you like the West and it's a slower lifestyle, okay. Corpus Christi, Texas, very similar to Jacksonville. I have the key to the city the mayor gave it to me, so I like Corpus Christi. But you can get down to Padre Island, easy from Corpus Christi. It's a beach thing.

Okay, Padre Island is pretty nice. And it's on the Gulf, the Gulf of Mexico, America, Sue Falls, South Dakota. That's Mount Rushmore. That's not boring. The town is not much. You know, it's not a lot going on. But you got to go there. I base up in the Black Hills when I go to South Dakota, which is, you know, I love it up in Black Hills.

It's a lot of history out there. And then Memphis, Tennessee, got clubs, got stuff to do, good music scene. Peabody Hotel is the place to be. They got the ducks walking across. I don't know about this boring stuff. Yeah, are these action-packed places? No. But are they ridiculous?

This week in history, July 9th, 1995, 30 years ago, the Grateful Dead performed his last concert with lead singer Jerry Garcia. Now, I'm not a big dead head fan. I know they are. I know what they do. But do I want to sit there for five hours while they do guitar solos? No. But millions of people love the debt.

So Garcia was a tragic figure, heroin addict, a big drug guy from the very beginning. And after the concert, that was in Chicago at Soldier Field, checked into Betty Ford Clinic in California. Only stayed two weeks. Then he left. He's still involved with drugs. Then he went back to another rehab center. And he died one day later, August 9th, 1990. at the age of 53, they called it a heart attack, but, you know, Jerry was taking a heroin.

So the concert, the last one with Garcia was 30 years ago. Now, the dead and company group with two original members, Weir and Critsman, are on the road. They just got back from Europe, and they're going to Vegas, I think. no they were in Vegas at the sphere but they're around you want to see them okay a final thought that I think you're going to find fascinating about

the time I got caught in a coup in Haiti back in a moment okay there's a final thought of the day Haiti is evaporating it's a shame I've been in the country three four times

times, vibrant people, nice people, got the whole cultural thing, different than any place else in the Caribbean, but it's violent and there's no government anymore. Despite the fact that the United States has sent tens of billions of dollars to that island, totally wasted, stolen. Gangs run the entire island. So there's a hotel there that I stay at when I go. Olofson Hotel, very famous. Graham Green stayed there when he wrote his novel, The Comedians, About Haiti. Jagger was there, Jackie Kennedy, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, all these people.

So I was there in 1991, and we were doing a story about the voodoo culture in Haiti. At the time, the guy who ran the place was Aristide, who was a former Catholic cleric, total incompetent. And they had a rebellion while we were there at the Oliveson. Man, that was scary. We could hear it. We could hear screaming and pounding and shooting. And they were burning people alive by putting tires over them. And we thought they were going to come up to the hotel.

Okay? So we call the American Embassy, and the embassy people said, ah, we can't help you. Try to get to the airport. You couldn't get to the airport. All arose were blocked by the people trying to overthrow Aristide. Okay. I remember this.

So my crew were petrified. I was a little, you know, no sleep that night. We were watching because the hotel is on a hill in Port of Prince, outside of Port of Prince. So in order for people, you'd have, you'd see them, common, all right, but it's easy, there was no security there, and then like people are going to protect you. Now, they all of some would burn, they burn it down over the weekend. The gangs burn it down this weekend, okay, for no reason, because the gangs wanted to burn

it down. And the state department won't let you go to Haiti anyway, so you can't go even if you want to go. Once you get on a relief thing, it's so dangerous. Probably most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe the world. I wouldn't go, and I've been everywhere. I'm in 86 countries, and a lot of them have been dangerous. I wouldn't go there. Because there's no, there's just no protection. You know, it's like if you go to Sinaloa, Mexico, you're asking for it.

You go to Haiti, you're asking for it. And you'll get it. They'll kill you. They don't need a reason. They burn this hotel down for why? Why? for what reason you've destroyed these drug gangs have destroyed the whole infrastructure no cruises go there nothing goes there poorest people in the western atmosphere no money going in

people are going to starve okay uh because any aid that goes in stolen by the gangs it's like gaza oh they're starving people of gaza they bring them food in and who steals it Hamas. They got the guns. So that's how it works. But anyway, when I saw the olivus and get burned down, I went, oh, man, it was really, places is a special place. There are hotels like that all over the world that I stay in, the Oriental in Bangkok.

Thailand, best hotel in the world. Okay? Nobody would know that, but it is. And there are places all over that I've stayed in that, you know, King David in Jerusalem but you just have to go and you have to be there if you're going. But anyway

I feel very bad for the poor people in Haiti. There is no solution to this problem unless a foreign nation takes it over. I don't think the Trump administration is going to do that. I wouldn't do it. You know, the people will probably rebel sometime when they don't have anything to eat, but they don't have the guns.

Drugs, gangs have the guns. That's the world we live in. Sorry to end on that note, but it's an interesting story. Thank you for watching and listening to the Newspin News and Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
