Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, May 21st, 2025. Stand up for your country. Last program of the month.

So I guess we've got to make it a really good one, and we will. I guarantee it. This will be a good use of your time. The big Bill, beautiful bill, whatever Donald Trump is named, is still kicking around. It changes every hour on the hour. We're taping in the late afternoon. It could change after we are finished, but I can't make a prediction on it. And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So if the bill passes, it will increase the federal debt about $4 trillion over the next 10 years. So this is not a cost-cutting bill.

It's a cost-limiting bill. It's a difference. But the government continues to wildly spend tax dollars, and this bill is not going to stop that. But it's a lot better than what the Democrats want. And all Democrats will vote against this bill. Nobody's going to, because they don't want to cut anything. Now, President Trump has also said he wants to build a golden dome,

which would protect the United States against missile attacks. Israel has it. He says, the president says, 175 billion, ready in three years. No. It's about 350 billion in my estimate and five years it would take he'll be out of office by then. I don't know where this golden dome is going, but it's going to add to the debt. There's no question about it. Now the major problem is there's no compromise in Washington. Democratic Party, and I'm not a party guy, you know I'm a registered independent. They don't want to cut anything, maybe a little defense, but they don't know not worried

about Putin. They're not worried about China. They're not worried about anything. Just giving Americans' money so the vote Democrat. That's what it's all about. So entitlements, entitlements, titlements. We'll pay for your health care. We're going to pay for your child raising. We're going to change with this. We're going to play for that. It never ends. And that's why we're $37 trillion in the home. So Donald Trump and the Republican Party count on zero votes, as I said, to constrain any spending at all. And we saw that with Doge. All right? So they expose this unbelievable amount of waste. and even fraudulent spending

by the federal government, and the Democrats were just furious about it, Haiti a lot of us. People were burning his cars up. Why? Don't you want to know about wasteful spending? No. They don't. They want a colossus, a government that provides cradle of grave entitlements. That's socialism.

That's what the Democrats want. Okay. So we can't find one Democrat elected or famous, not one, that wants to cut anything out of the bloated budget go so we're fighting back and particularly with what republicans is trying to do with an 880 billion dollar Medicaid cut that would devastate not only our economy but the health care of millions of Americans democrats are fighting back against that as well you're not fighting for anything but a big socialist government uh congressman that's a truth and you know you can

make up excuses every time any program is cut the media and you Democrats try to out, oh, look at this person, they're not going to get this. Oh, look at that. They're going to cut back this. Oh, look at that. All I want to do is reform Medicare. They want to take healthy men, ages 25 to 45, off the rolls of Medicaid, unless they look for work.

Is that unreasonable? It is not. Layabouts do not have the privilege of getting my tax money. I'm sorry. There's nowhere in the Constitution. That's a perversion of our system, a big-time perversion. And you people, Democrats, you support that. You support anybody getting on Medicaid and taking that free health care,

even if they can work, but they won't because they're lazy or addicted or whatever. That's what you support. That's insane. Now, why is 40, 45% of the American people still Democratic? I don't know. I don't know. It's a party of insanity. It's an open border party.

It's a spend until you bankrupt the nation party. Why? Joe Biden? That's all you need to know. And you still support? You vote for Kamala Harris after Biden? Yeah, you did. I think more than 60 million of you did. It's insane. So the reason that Democrats get away with this is, as I said before, they benefit from the unlimited money coming in. And they said it's buying votes. But even more than that, most Americans, I believe, I can't back it up with stats, but I believe this. They don't care about the debt or the deficit. They don't even know what that is.

When you go, hey, how about that $37 trillion debt the country has, how does that affect you? They go, what? They don't know. They don't care. Because most people live in a moment. They live from what they see and they experience and they feel. They live for dinner.

They live for a nap. They live for the game. They're not thinking out. If we can't get federal spending under control, the economy is going to collapse. They don't look at it that way. It's almost like the global warming deniers. There's global warming on the planet. It's provable.

Now how you deal with it, that's subject to debate. But if you got people walking around going, there's no global warming, let's mind. You know, here's the temperature. It's the same thing. Now, is global warming going to wipe us out in 10 years? No. Should it be dealt with? Yes.

But in a way that doesn't destroy the economy, which is what Democrats don't care. These windmills where I live off the coast of Long Island, they don't work. They don't work. Billions of dollars wasted. Okay. So the Democratic Party gets away with all this and no Democrats in the House or Senate will vote for the big beautiful bill because Americans they don't care if everybody was outraged as I am the Democratic Party wouldn't even exist they have to go out of

business that have to be another party and that's a memo all right Biden cancer update now this is an amazing story I'm on Cuomo last night on news nation and he he says something I was stunned that I'm not usually stunned. Okay, I've heard it all. Chris Cuomo, a very loyal Democrat, nothing wrong with that other than what I just laid out. You've got to have a better solution. But Cuomo, he's not a zombie. He's not a Kool-Aid drinker. He tells me he doesn't care if Joe Biden was infirmed as president. He doesn't care if he was infirmed mentally or physically. He doesn't care if he had prostate cancer and it was covered up by the

administration. Homer does not care. I don't want what? We have a right to know the mental and physical condition of the president. That's all right as citizens. So it was an explosive encounter. Roll the tape. No, no. Here's what I want. I want to get off you as a topic. What I'm saying is with this book and what they did, there is no cover up of Biden's health, but they didn't want Trump to win. So they played down what was obvious about Biden. But it's not that there was a cover up by his staff. What did we not know that there is to know that he forgets names and dates? We saw that on TV together. You don't look, out of his staff and the Democratic Party. came a consistent drumbeat of the guy's on it. The guy's good. The guy's doing his job.

The guy's good for America. Consistent, almost every day. Then they keep him away from the press. He doesn't talk to the press, okay? That's covering up who he is. And then every time he made a mistake, there was another excuse. And then the CNNs of the world, and the MSNBCs of the world, open border? They didn't care about the open border.

And talk to him about his immigration policies. They were all the same ideas. You know, he believes that there's an openness to this country and that we need new blood and he was worried about the left flank. Look, I don't have to agree with you. You can yell at me. It's an absurd contention when you have all the problems that developed. It's absurd. I agree that the position is a bad position.

I get it's a bad position. I don't agree with you about that. Who cares if he had prostate cancer or not? Prostate cancer isn't debilitating. People work through the treatment. You have a 97% success rate. You don't think the, you don't think the American people have a right to know their president. This is what you want to spend time on when you got Christy Knoe doesn't know what habeas corpus means, but I got to talk about Biden's fundamental.

Now we got to go into Christy Knobe. Yeah, because it matters, Bill. The American people. That matters to the American people. Come on, Bill. We'll do another segment on it. No, dude, shit. I am doing another segment.

on Christy Knoem has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It has to do with what you decide the focus on. You believe that the American people have their interests served better by knowing whether or not Joe Biden had a prostate exam when president than in discussing the fact that the man, the woman that Donald Trump says is the best to keep us safe does not know what the core protection and the Constitution is against a legal detention. You don't think that matters as much. analogous analogy. It's absurd. It's like comparing the NFL to the Women's Basketball

Association. The American people have a right to know if they're sitting president as cancer. Period. They have a right to know it. Now, did you see the diversion deflection on that? I'm I'm doing to my family because we go to Burlington

for the event of liquidation candidate. We're going to find the best to the best of

the best from the house and much more with offers over offers. I can

go back day to be going to get to the liquidation because it's

very very hot because it's very let's Burlington, Marks Rebaugh Wow

You set the table put on a playlist lasagna from scratch. And now you're wearing it. Oxyclean MaxForce spray tackles tough, set in stains the first time. Adulting is hard. Fighting stains shouldn't be. Oxyclean Maxforce. It's not clean unless it's oxyclean. Okay, that's what happens when you're losing a debate. You go to another topic. Oh, see, no, there's nothing to do with this. And I'll cover Ms. Noam in a moment.

Nothing to do with it. But Cuomo's not a phony. He's not Jake Tapper. And the others, Cuomo's not like that, all right? I would never do Tapper. He's the worst. He's making money off his deceit. Tapper deceived us. Now he's making money off it. I say, oh, no, you don't get worse than that.

Cuomo's not like that. But he believes that we don't have a right to know if Biden had cancer while he was in office. Stunning. Stunning. Okay. I have to refer to Tapper's book. I'm not buying it and I'm not reading it. Too many anonymous sources and I reported everything in his book myself before he wrote his book. So why would I read it? Anyway, one of the headlines is that Biden's staff, in particular Ron Clayne, Chief of Staff, until 23, made all the decisions. And Joe didn't do anything. Joe didn't know.

Okay? I told you that about a year ago. Roll the tape. All right, President Biden's at Camp David. He apparently is rehearsing for the debate one week from today. With him, former Chief of Staff, Ron. Clayne. Now, Clayne is the architect of the progressive White House. You know, you heard Carl Rove, the architect, you know, with Bush and all that. Claim is the big gun. So in

his stupid book, Clayne is named the Prime Minister. Okay? So if you follow me, listen to me, go to Bill O'Reilly.com and watch and listen to the NoSpin News. You knew this. Okay. Way back. It's taking credit where credit is due. Christine Ome. Okay. So she goes up to testify. She is, of course, the Homeland Security Director, just like Mayorkas. Remember Mayorkas? The guy who just did the worst possible job in the world and opened the border. Remember him? I don't know where he is. He's split real fast. Okay, so Nome takes this place, former governor of South Dakota. And she testifies before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security yesterday. Roll of tape. Secretary Nome, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff recently said that the Trump administration is actively looking at suspending habeas corpus. Last week you were asked about this, and I want to clarify your position because it's obviously really important to get this right.

So, Secretary, Noam, what is habeas corpus? Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country. It's to spend their right to. No, let me stop you, ma'am. Habeas corpus, excuse me, that's, that's incorrect. President Lincoln used it. Okay. So, Senator Hassan from New Hampshire, it's correct.

So, Chrissy Noam doesn't know what habeas corpus is. That's not good. All right? But should know what habeas corpus is. Habeas corpus is when the authorities, federal, state, local, come in to your home, they have to have a warrant. Okay? If you're arrested, you have to have representation. You have due process.

You are considered innocent until proven guilty. Okay? That's habeas corpus. And nothing to do with removing anybody. When the governor referred to Abraham Lincoln, he did suspend habeas corpus in Maryland during a civil war. Because Maryland was one of these states that was in the union, but was guerrilla warfare all day long by Confederates trying to blow the hell out of Maryland. And Lincoln went in and said, we're going to just round these people up. I'm not going to charge him. We don't need a warrant.

Army is going to go in and drag them out of their home, which is exactly what happened. Supreme Court said, hey, Abe, you can't do that. Abe said, I'm doing it and did it. Violated the Supreme Court. If you're killing Lincoln, you know all of it is. All right. So what I recommend is that Secretary Noem call me, and I'll bring her right through all of these things,

which she should know. There? Justice Department, very, very active, Pam Bonding. I bet you the Attorney General knows what habeas corpus is. Okay, so the first thing is now, the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, a socialist, a guy who does racial politics all day long, he's under investigation now. And he's under investigation because he said this, quote, there are some detractors that will push back on me and say the only thing the mayor talks about is hiring black people

no what i'm saying is that when you hire our people we always look out for everybody else we're the most generous people on a planet i don't know too many cultures that have played cousins i don't know what that means unquote so uh the justice department in the united states says yeah we believe that johnson may be hiring along racial lines which is illegal So we're going to investigate them. It's not really why they're investigating Johnson. Johnson is a big sanctuary city guy. And, you know, these mayors are going to pay a price.

So that's what they're looking into. Andrew Cuomo running for mayor of New York City. He's being investigated by Pam Bondi as well. This is very interesting. So during COVID, Cuomo allowed people with COVID, elderly people, to go back to their nursing homes after they were hospitalized when they still had the disease and they still had COVID.

He allowed it. That led to hundreds, thousands of deaths, hard to say, but a lot. Huge scandal here in New York, enormous. Cuomo was dragged up down to D.C. on September 10th, 2004 to talk about this. Roll the tape. But the law is interpreted by the current Attorney General. That is how she interpreted the law. That is the law that was in place. That was the law that was in place during the pandemic.

She has sued nursing homes for misconduct during the pandemic based on that law. Thank you, Governor. My question was, did you ever speak with anyone? You, Governor Cuomo, did you ever speak with anyone at CMS or CDC about the directive beforehand? You, Governor Cuomo. You asked that question, and I answered the question, and I said no. Did you or not? I said no. Well, apparently the Justice Department thinks that Andrew Cuomo lied.

They're investigating for an alleged deceit under oath in front of Congress. interesting time we live in, huh? Now, she is Letitia James, the current attorney of the state of New York, and Cuomo is basically saying, look, she allowed this to happen. Okay, so it's her fault. Now, all I have to do, the Justice Department, is say, okay, did you allow this? Did you, attorney general James, tell Andrew Cuomo, put COVID patients back into nursing hospital? homes. And if she says no, I didn't, go into trouble. Could be charged. New poll, about border security, building America's future poll, no idea who these people are. 10010 general election voters. Simple question. Would you support increased investments to improve security and monitoring

at the northern border? This is Canada. Even if it adds, the federal spending. Yes, 62. no 38. This was all about Canada, and Canada allegedly being lax in monitoring undocumented is coming down from the north, and in particular, fentanyl, drug smuggling. All right, so they're 62% said, look, we don't want this. Migrants deported to South Sudan. Okay, so this is another in a long, long line of lawsuits, the Supreme Court's going to have to figure it up. So the allegation is that the Trump administration deported, how many now?

Oh, let me count them. Three, six people undocumented aliens to South Sudan, one of the worst places on Earth. And they weren't citizens of Sudan. They just threw them out and flew them over there and dumped them there. If that's true, the Trump administration is going to have to bring them back. Supreme Court's not going to a lot of it. Okay?

So this is what's in play. I don't know what's true and I don't know what's not true. I will watch the story for you. The federal government can't round up on documents and then send them to some place where they could be killed in South Sudan is that place.

So we are really, really down on Claudia Scheinbaum, the new president, because she won't cooperate with the United States in dismantling the drug cartels. She flat out will not do it. So yesterday, A personal secretary to the Mexico City mayor, Clara Brugada, gunned down, shot in the street, as well as the advisor to Ms. Brigada. So two local politicians, Mexico City, assassinated.

We don't know if the cartel did it, but since the cartel commits almost every murder in our country, is a good chance. So I love the reaction from, now this is in Mexico City. the capital of the country. So Scheinbaum gets on there and says, we condemn the killings and they are not going to happen with impunity. I don't even know what that means. And I speak a little Espaniel.

So she's watching. You know, we reported last week about Vera Cruz, was a candidate there shot down with her daughter in the street. It's watching all of this. Hundreds of thousands of murders and disappearances. And she won't cooperate the United States and dismantling these cartels. There's something really, really wrong. As you know, I will not travel to Mexico under any circumstances.

I'm going to China. I'll tell you about it later. But no Mexico. Nope, not giving them a cent. Elon Musk. So I am now a visionary. I predict with uncanny accuracy what will happen. So Musk gives an interview to Bloomberg where he says this.

Go. In terms of political spending, I'm going to do a lot less in the future. And why is that? I think I've done enough. Is it because of blowback? Well, if I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. I don't currently see a reason. All right, so he's out.

He's out of D.C., he's back in Austin. I think he kept the apartment. I talked to him about that in the district, but you're not going to see him around anymore. Now, on April 2nd, right, a month and a half ago, Here's what I said. Well, as I said, very early on, Musk is a short-timer. It's just too hot.

You just can't have a guy that hot. And he did a good job exposing the government waste, bringing it back onto page one. Now, it wasn't a hard prediction. So I know Donald Trump. I know how he works. I know the dynamic that goes on in the Trump administration. And I knew Elon Musk was going to be around long.

And then when they're blowing up his cars, and his companies are losing money, I mean, that just accelerated at all. All right, Memorial Day weekend upon us, gas prices are down 50 cents on average across the country. That's because of President Trump's policies, and the media give him zero credit. So 50 cents a gallon, that's, that's, you know, decent savings, right, from last year under Biden. And the reason the gas price is down is because Trump took all the regulations. It's much easier to market gas now and refine it. So the average in the United States is $3.08 and $8 a gallon.

Okay? It was $3.58 this time last year. And it's a good thing. And those prices are going to come down more because we have plenty of gas in oil in this country. So whereas in Biden, it prices are up, up, up. Trump is down, down. It's going to take a little while for that to sink in to focus. but my car takes about 18 gallons to fill it up so that's nine bucks I'm saving and

nine bucks every time I go into the gas station that's not bad all right you're gonna travel around everybody's traveling these days and airlines are terrible as you know and it's hard to travel but here are the safest cities in the world if you want to go someplace and not have a lot of personal angst number one has Iceland been there very safe Now it's, there's no darkness. Iceland is sunny all 25, 24 hours. Geez, oh, probably.

24 hours in a day. Hello, Iceland. Australia, when I was there, it was very safe. Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, New Zealand. Germany, I'm not so sure about Germany. Berlin, pretty gritty place. Norway, very safe. Japan, I'll be there tomorrow.

I'm glad it's safe. Denmark. Now, I'll just give you a little input into why these places are safe. Iceland, there's nobody there. Nobody lives there. And the people who live there are kind of happy. They don't want to, you know, they don't want to hurt you. And there's no traffic. Australia is low crime because it's so far away. And, you know, the Australians, it's not like here, much more lead back there. But I had a good time over there. Canada, low population density.

You got to be having, in Vancouver, you've got to watch yourself, a lot of drug addicts. And you've got to watch yourself up there. But the rest of it is fairly benign. Ireland, one of the friendliest places in the world. But here's the thing in Ireland. If you're a criminal in Ireland, and the only big city in Ireland is Dublin. Excuse me, Cork is, you know, but Dublin's, if you're a criminal, you're an outcast there. It's not like New York City.

If you're a criminal, you're cool. Out there, you hurt somebody? You're gone. And that peer pressure is big. Ireland, very safe. In Switzerland, I mean, you know, it's so organized over there. They know the thugs and then they don't permit it. Switzerland's tougher than you think.

Okay. In L.A., loaded with criminals. Woody Harrison and Bill Maher own a marijuana shop. Oh, I'm shocked, aren't you? They own a marijuana shop, okay? And it's in West Hollywood on a busy street, Santa Monica Boulevard. And it's called the Woods WeHo Weed Dispensary

and Cannabis Lounge. Wow. Now. Anyway, it got robbed. So at 4.30 in the morning, some thugs went in wearing hoodies, five of them, and ransacked the whole store, took all the weed. I don't think it was any money. And one of the robbers appeared to be a child. And they took about $5,000 worth of stuff. Of course, no arrests have been made. No arrests will be made. unless Woody Harrelson and Bill Moore track them down themselves. Okay, pot shops. You know, I told a friend of mine, this, we don't have in Nassau County any pot shops, but they're all over New York, all over the city. If you own a pot shop, you're a drug pusher.

Sorry, you're pushing drugs. Because the only reason that people use marijuana is to get intoxicated. It's a drug. Now, you can have a couple of glasses of beer, glass of wine and not get intoxicated so you can't make the same comparison i know some pinheads do but it's not the same you want a pot shop or you work in a pot shop or you do anything with a pot shop you're a drug dealer george went dies now i mentioned him yesterday because that was the anniversary of the last cheers uh program ever to air uh first run and then just an hour after we stopped

taping, Mr. Wint, 76-year-old, died in Los Angeles. Here's what I said yesterday. Go. George Waino, you just saw as norm, is 76. He has not acted since 22. Okay, I don't think he's well. I think he is undergoing some medical procedures. And our condolences go out to Mr. Went's family. I heard he was a good guy. I never met him, but I know Ratsenberger. I know Kelsey Grammer pretty well. And this is a good guy. Stay in history, May 21st, 1992.

All right, Carson lasted 13 years after he retired, and he died in 2005 from respiratory failure. Ed McMahon a sidekick. He died in 2009, age 86. But interestingly enough, there was never

a cause of death attached to Mr. McMahon's press release. All right, I'm going to tell you about our big trip that commences tomorrow. Are you going to want to hear about it? Because we're going to do a lot of it on Bill O'Reilly.com back in a moment. All right, there's a final thought of the day. As many of you know, I'm off to North Asia. I wrote something about it. I discussed it on Hannity Radio today. I discussed it in a bunch of places. So here's the deal. My son I just graduated with a degree in political science. I said, I'm going to go, I'll take anywhere in the world for our graduation present. I was hoping Tahiti maybe. No, he wants to go to North Asia. So we're going to Japan, fly to Tokyo first.

Then I've been invited to do a seminar Q&A for two hours in Beijing with the Chinese government, CNN media. Big. Really big. And the reason they invited me was my book, the United States of Trump, which is a hot item now in China, because everybody wants to know what Donald Trump is really like, and I tell you. That'll be fascinating. So it's going to be a closed-door session, but I made an arrangement. If the Chinese want to use some of it, put it out to the public, They can, but I have to get the access to, so I can show it to you. I'm hoping that happens. Very polite and respectful.

The Chinese have been to me, I have to say. And I told my son, said, look at the way they handle themselves over there. It's a totalitarian state, and we have to be very careful. Can't bring our cell phones, can't do any of that. But look how respectful and, you know, and it's who they are. So my message is going to be very interesting. I'm going to tell them anything that we're going to. want to know about Donald Trump. And there's nobody in the world who knows them better than I do

as far as the journalist is concerned. And then I'm going to say, you know what, what the president would really like is to partner up with China and be peacemakers throughout the world because it's good for business. It's good for your people. It's good for our people. If China and the USA would ally in the cause of peace, we're never going to convince the communist not to be communist. So just let that go. We don't need a nation bill there. But what Donald Trump wants is to form an alliance with China that would overwhelm guys like Putin and the mullahs who are just evil, okay, because the two most powerful countries in the world together demanding peace, that's my message. So I think that's positive. Now, the other thing is, I can't be me, all right, I can't be Sammy Davis Jr. I got to be me.

I can't be Mr. Bombast over there. I can't be confrontational. I can't. I'm bringing gifts. I'm bringing a car. I've got to be a different version of what you see and hear when I broadcast. Because they just couldn't process. There's nobody in Chinese media like me, not even close.

If there were, that person would not be around long. Now, I'm not afraid. People go, oh, I'm going to go, your friend. No, I'm not. I'm staying right next to the American embassy. The State Department knows I'm going there. President Trump knows I'm going. Everybody knows.

They're going to be nice to me, I think. And my son's 6'5 and a lacrosse player, so I'm, you know, we're a good shit. But I am hoping to do some good over there. You know, I'm walking a tightrope. I'm a journalist, and that's why I'm going. going to get unbelievable stories to report back to you, credible stuff, but I'm also trying to help my country. And maybe I can, maybe I can. I don't know. I'll know after the two hours and they're giving us a free supper and that presents a problem because I can't do the

chopsticks. So I'm going to have to bring a spoon. I tried so. I can't get the chopstick thing down. I'm Irish. I have chopsticks. In here, we're going to go in with a very positive outlook. But I can't be a wise guy and I can't be doing confrontation. I can't be doing Chris Cuomo stuff. I can't be doing Barney Frank. They already know who I am. Believe me. They know top the bottom, who I am and what I do. They're watching this right now. They watch all media, particularly people they invite old. But I am very happy to be invited and very flattering. And I'm going to try to do some good.

All right. So that is the final thought. We will report on bill o'Reilly.com every day. We'll have a photo gallery for you. I'll do little commentaries about what happens. Okay. And then when I get to Korea after China, then I'll be able to call in and do, you know, a little more extensive stuff.

So stay with us every day on bill o'Reilly.com because this is a historic thing. I don't think there's been any journalist ever who's done anything like this. And I'm very flattered, as I said, to do it. And if I don't come back, thank you very much for helping me throughout my career. But I'll be back. I want you to have a good Memorial Day weekend, and we'll see you on June 2nd. Thank you.
