Thursday, March 6, 2025, stand up for your country. Well, just before tape time, President Trump announced he's pausing tariffs on Mexico. I wasn't surprised I told you from the very beginning. All this tariff stuff is negotiation. But apparently Donald Trump and the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, are getting along now. And she's doing what he wants. So he's pausing the

tariffs. Not in Canada. Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump don't like each other at all. A lot of that is cultural, goes back. I do expect some day taunt with Canada, because again, Donald Trump's pretty much going to get what he wants the Canadians to do, which is seal up the border and bring down their tariffs on American goods. But this is fluid, okay? And everybody overreacts to it, particularly the media that doesn't care about any accuracy or perspective, just keep in mind the endgame and keep it here. And I will tell you exactly what is going on. Now, something that's never going to work out is President Trump's relationship with the press. That is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So what I'm about to tell you is

appalling. There's no other word for it. After Tuesday's speech, Donald Trump left the stage and was walking out of the House chamber. He passed Chief Justice John Roberts, and Donald Trump said this. Go. Thank you again. Thank you again. Don't forget. It's all good.

Okay. So what was he talking about? Thank you again. I'll never forget it. Nobody knows. Oh, that didn't stop the Trump haters, did it? You couldn't possibly have known what he's talking about. There's no context provided at all.

Yet, here they go. Bullitt. Thank you again. Thank you again. Won't forget. Donald Trump understands that John Roberts is his guy, who sprang him and saved him from prosecution with his ruling on presidential immunity, which ultimately paved the way for Trump to be elected president again.

And there was a moment there that really stopped my heart. And that was when, Trump shook hands with the members of the Supreme Court who were there, and those were Kavanaugh, Kagan, Barrett, and Justice Roberts. He said to Justice Roberts, thank you again, thank you again, won't forget it. Now, what do you think he was referring to? Yeah, I thought he helped you get into the men's room? Well, no, the immunity that he basically passed on.

Okay, so we know who those people are. They have freedom in speech, but the companies that employ them are responsible for what they are saying on national television. Keep that in mind. So Trump heard about this, and here's how I reacted on social media. Quote, I understand they are going crazy asking what it is that I was thinking Justice Roberts for. They never called my office to ask, of course. But if they had, I would have told these sleazebag journalists that I thanked him for swearing me in on inauguration day and doing a really good job in so doing. The fake news never quits.

All right. There it is. Now, the Trump haters goes, oh, I don't believe Trump. Okay, fine. You know, I have to believe what you want to believe. And we all know that is going on. but there is an explanation. And both Hayes and Behar have no backup, none, no context for what they said.

They just said it because they hate Trump. So ABC News, that's the view, and NBC News, they've let MSNBC go, but they still control what is said on the air should suspend. those two people, Hayes and Bejah, right? Because of their irresponsible and dishonest remarks. Should, won't. So that's Comcast and Disney. And this is what? The 10,000 times has happened? And you still have about two million people watching the view and Hayes, he barely gets, I mean, I crush that. I crush that. man every single day for 20 years crushed him, head to head. He never had anything. He's a hater. Okay. The reason that I'm making a big deal out of this is because it influences a

culture. The good news is the left-wing media is finished in America. It's done. All right, ABC is laying off 200 people. I'll tell you about that later. But it's not coming back. And the reason is because the ideology that they're pushing CNN, MSNBC, and the networks, it's not acceptable for the majority of Americans. It's just a numbers game. Okay? So they're done. More importantly, much more importantly, the Democratic Party itself, is finished for the short term. It'll come back someday. But now it's done it. And that happened on Tuesday night as well. So President Trump, as all presidents do, brought in a number of people to highlight in his speech. Lakin Riley, the college student in Georgia, was murdered, her mother and

sister. A 13-year-old African-American boy had cancer who wanted to be a law enforcement agent. He was given secret service credentials, a young woman who was competing against a trans man, who smashed the volleyball against her head and gave her brain damage, all of these people. Okay. The Democrats in the chamber did not applaud for any of them. None of them. And you saw that on your television screen while the Republicans stood up and cheered all of these people long. The Democrats just sat there. You are a 13-year-old cancer victim who gets credentials for the Secret Service. You can't applaud for that. Something seriously wrong in that party. And we all know there is. There's no leadership in the party. There's no guidance in the party. I mean,

these are people now who don't want peace negotiations in Ukraine. They don't want that. Don't want any anti-trans sports laws. They're fine with the girl getting smashed in the head. Okay? Don't want deportation of undocumented migrants. Don't want that. All right. And it goes on and on and on and on.

They don't want to keep criminals in jail, generally speaking. They are fine with every kind of destructive behavior you can think of.

And that Democratic Party has not pivoted at all.

And they are done, finished. So here's what I said last night on News Nation. What happened was Trump Hatred, and that's what the headline is of the speech last night. When you are hating someone, you lose all perspective. You lose all feeling. You're consumed. And I wrote a book that's going to be out in September called Confronting Evil. And these people who did all these terrible things, they all had one thing in common.

They hated. They were just haters across the board. That's what you saw in that chamber last night. You saw it from Green. I thought Al Green was the guy who was saying, love can keep us together that great soul song and all of a sudden

this guy from Texas looked like he should be starring in the Texas chainsaw massacre he's up there flailing around he's got and I'm going what do you think you're helping your party

do you think anybody at home watching this likes this in the House of Representatives but he couldn't help it because he hates Trump so much and that's across the board in the Democratic Party though Donald Trump is destroyed temporarily the Democratic Party passively because they hate him so much overreach.

One more thing about our analysis, we said that Stephen Miller might have written a Trump speech. And the Trump people got to me today and said, Ross Worthington, I don't know him, Tony Dolan and Vince Haley, three of them put together that speech. they all work, obviously, for Donald Trump. So I wanted to mention that. And that's the memo. Okay. On Tuesday, the tariffs, the Trump tariffs, against China went into effect, 20% on all Chinese goods.

That's going to really hurt China. His economy is wobbling right now. Remember, 1.5 billion people in China, none of them have any money except the fat cats in Shanghai and Kong and Beijing, but the folks don't have any money. They live a subsistence existence. Now, the little they have is in jeopardy. So the Chinese are really angry at Trump and the United States, and they put this up on social media.

Quote, if war is what the U.S. wants, be it at tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we are ready to fight till the end. That's from the Chinese government. Well, it's designed to panic the American population. I mean, nobody wants a war with China. That would be mutual destruction. And there's not going to be a war like armies meeting on the plains of Abraham. It's going to be high-tech, nuke stuff. Everybody dies.

Okay, just everybody keeps that in mind. So that was, this is bare, I am watching this is very serious. Canada, Mexico This You got to watch this It's got to be handled very Very carefully Now I'm set to go to China in the spring

I'm not going to obviously tell everybody What I'm going to do or where I'm going to go Because that wouldn't be wise But I want to go to get a first stand look And I will be speaking With important people there I'm hoping I can go and no crazy

breaks out, but it's on the board. But this is a very important story. Ukraine updates. So the Trump administration announced it's not going to give intelligence to Ukraine for a while today, tomorrow, everything's going to change over there. And maybe next week, maybe over the weekend. Okay. But for now, the U.S. official said that information is no being shared with the government of Ukraine. Okay. Another negotiating thing. However, Zelensky's in Brussels, Belgium,

for emergency talks with European leaders, good. Good. I mean, I want Europe to do more to help Ukraine. And I want the mineral deal with Ukraine for the USA, which I think is going to happen. Okay. Now, here's something very interesting.

We have a poll on Bill O'Reilly.com. Should we continue funding Ukraine? Most in the initial volley say no. They're willing to walk away from Ukraine, which, of course, if Putin participated in the poll, and I understand he gets a lot of what we say. You know, he'd say, no, no. Putin would go now. Okay. So he'd be on the side of the majority. But this has happened in the past, and people don't know. So in 1956, the Soviet Union controlled Hungary, the country of Hungary. And the Hungarians didn't want this oppression. So they rose up and there was a rebellion. Well, a red army marched right in there because Soviets were controlling. And they killed about 3,000 civilians, and wounded 20,000 and arrested 26,000 sent them to the gulags out in Siberia.

I mean, we didn't do anything. That's Eisenhower. We didn't didn't do a thing. All right? Then in 1968, 12 years later, same thing in Czechoslovakia. They retired of the Soviets on their necks, and they try to rebel. Once again, Soviet forces, army goes marching right in, all right? And kills 137 civilians, wounds in more than 500. We didn't do a thing.

That was Johnson. He's tied up in Vietnam. we didn't do anything and then China takes over Tibet the communists in Beijing we're taking over Tibet that's the Dalai Lama listen to this one point two Tibetans have been killed by the Chinese communists a million two and out of that number it's estimated that a hundred thousand were tortured to death in Chinese concentration camps. We do anything?

No. But it's a different situation now, because Putin is on the march. So there was no danger of the Soviet Union not stopping at Hungary or Czechoslovakia and going into Germany and Austria to take it over. That wasn't going to happen. Putin will go as far as he can tell.

That's why he's on the cover of confronting evil, my book, which will be out in September. This guy is Hitler. He doesn't have the capacity to kill like Hitler. He doesn't have the same mentality. I'm taking it. I don't care how many people die. All right.

So a little bit of history for you in this discussion. This is a very strange story. So I get a lot of mail, thousands of pieces of mail a week. We get them from all precincts. get a lot of people write in about Internet stuff, which is insane. And I keep telling you, if you believe this stuff on the Internet, your life is going to be a shambles because you're not going to know what's true or what isn't true. One of the themes lately has been that the Democrats encourage Zelensky to misbehave at the Oval Office meeting last Friday.

I can't tell you how many letters I've got and go, oh, the Democrats did this. Here's what happened. Before the meeting, there was a breakfast at the Hay Adams Hotel, which is in Washington, D.C., Shishi Place. Okay? And there were 11 U.S. senators at the breakfast, mixed between Democrats and Republicans. here's how lindsay graham described it president trump was very excited president zillincki's very excited about this economic deal a half a trillion dollars folks is a big deal this is donald trump the deal maker and peacemaker on display okay that was before the meeting after

after the senator came out of having breakfast with zolensky everything was fine everybody was happy. According to Lindsay Graham and all the other senators, except one, Chris Murphy from Connecticut. So Murphy is a top Trump hater in the Senate now. And he says, quote, just finished the meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no Security Arrangements in Ukraine. Okay? That's Murphy. And he's implying that he had a meeting with Zelensky, just finished a meeting with

Zelensky. He doesn't say there were 10 other senators there. He didn't have a private meeting, Murphy. He was in the same meeting, Lindsay Graham and all the other senators, who none of them say that there was any attempt to convince. Zelensky to misbehave. So it's 10 against one. And Murphy's doing this because he hates Trump. You don't think he hates Trump? Listen to this. Go. The only qualification to Donald Trump for you to serve in government is if you pledge a loyalty oath to him personally and are willing to

facilitate his corruption. He is trying to turn government into an enrichment vehicle for his billionaire friends. He wants to steal from ordinary people. in order to help his Mar-a-Lago crowd. And if you aren't interested in that agenda, then you can't work for the president of the United States. All right. So Murphy puts out that he met with Zelensky, and he told Zelensky don't accept this deal from Trump.

It's a lie. Now, I can't back it up 100%, but all the evidence that I have accumulated, it's just a flat-out lie. But the media picked it up, and that's why I'm getting letter. about it. This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chau.

All right. Another warning. Another day, another warning. Donald Trump warning Hamas. Okay. Full screen. This is what he put on truth social, I believe. Quote,

Shalom Hamas means hello and goodbye. You can choose. Release all the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is over for you. Only sick and twisted people. Keep bodies. and you are sick and twisted.

Sending Israel everything it needs to finish your job, not a single Amos member will be safe if you don't do what I say. Okay, true social yesterday. And we understand from reporting from the Jerusalem Post, which is usually accurate, it's pro-Israel, but usually accurate, that in Gutter, an Arab nation in the Gulf,

there is a negotiation going on directly between the United States and Amos. Okay, the man representing us. I don't know him. His name is Adam Boller. Okay? The primary negotiator, Whitkoff, is in Ukraine to come up with the mineral deal, which he will. So you need to know that.

And Hamas is going to have to give up all assages, or it's going to be an amazing bloodbath. And they will all die. They'll kill them all. All right, on a more mundane basis, but he's everywhere. Trump doesn't sleep. So now he's telling the mayor of Washington,

D.C., the far-left Muriel Bowser, you better clean up the district, madam. Quote, true social. We have notified the mayor of Washington, did he see that she must clean up all of the unsightly homeless encampments in the city, specifically including the ones outside the State Department near the White House. If she's not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her. It's not as threatening as Hamas, but it's, so this is nonstop. So Bowser can't do it

because she doesn't want to do it. It's a far left person. She doesn't care if they're homeless campments, drug addicts run around, carjacking. She couldn't care less about that. you know so trump did sign an executive order focused on beautification clearing homeless camps tougher prosecutions for gun crimes and nuisance crimes like public urination and graffiti in Washington D.C. That's already in place. So now he's going to I guess send out the park service. That's what he would use to get all those homeless people out of there. And Bowser, you know, Does Bowser care about all this? No.

It's like Wu in Boston and Johnston in Denver and Johnson in Chicago and on and on and on. They don't care because their constituency is to hate Trump cadre. Okay. You got a pen. I always say watch and listen on a radio to the no spin news with a pen and paper. You're going to need it for this one. So I'm going to give you smart life information that you should have. So I know scurry around, get that pen and paper.

This day in history, March 6, 1981, Walter Cronkite hangs it up, okay? 64 years old, CBS said, hey, Walt, once you're out of there, you're too old, got to go home. So Walter did. Dan Rather took over, and that was the beginning of CBS News's decline.

So the high point was when Walter was there. met Cronkite a few times. One was when I was anchoring for the CBS affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut, and we went down in New York to give Walter some pointers. You can see me explaining to him how he should deliver the news. And he wasn't the warmest guy in the world, Walter. But I interviewed him right after he was forced to retire when I was working in Boston as an anchor. And he told me, I made a mistake. I should have fought this. And I felt bad, you know, for him, because rather came in and brought a lot of politics.

Now, Walter Cronkai was a liberal man. There's no doubt about it. He was. But he didn't let that bleed over very this. And because he was old school. He started his career in 1939, okay, writing for the UPI, which was a wire service. Then he covered World War II, and that was the big break, okay? He was the UP, United Press, International Bureau Chief in Moscow.

And he came up to Hardway. He came up just to fax, Jack Webb, you know, that kind of thing. But he was the most powerful anchorman by far in the history of this country, Walter Cronka. And he turned against the Vietnam War after visiting Vietnam. It was over. Even President Johnson said, I lost crime. okay, it's all of. All right, so he hung it up 44 years ago today. Back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, final thought yesterday was a very sad day here. Holly passed away. So I wrote a

message of the day, which I hope you read every day on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's free. There's me and the Tara Dog, and I will read you the message. Okay. We lost a family member on Wednesday, a beautiful corgi named Holly, brain tumor, nine and a half years old, a good dog in every way. As a puppy, I branded her the Tara Dog because she tried to eat the living room. Many of you know Holly, because we appointed her to the mascot of all of the O'Reilly enterprises. We did everything we could to fight the brain tumor malady, and Holly was loved every minute of every day. Someone asked me how I can anchor a new show knowing about her condition, and I simply said compartmentalize. My son asked for a corgi in 2015. It was an easy decision.

Pets enhanced lives. Children cherish them. When I brought Holly home, he cried with joy. Best moment is Holly is a pup. There's a time for every season, the Bible verse goes, and of course it's true. Nothing can stop fate. What we can do is protect those we love and look out for them. That's often not easy, but good people know it's imperative. Ali enriched all of our lives here in the O'Reilly home, and she will never be forgotten. I'm extremely fortunate to have had her company.

There I am with Holly in the signature picture. And, you know, we're all grieving. And everybody grieves in different ways. And it's normal and natural to do that. You know, if you're grieving, you'd grieve. That's a good thing. And so what I've decided to do is make a big photo album. And we do have it on Bill O'Reilly Doher.

We have all the pictures and you can go see them, but I'm going to do it for my family. Let's make a big album of Holly pictures because memories are very important. A lot of people don't respect their memories. Even the bad memories will teach you something. But the good memories really enhance all our lives because every day is new and everything changes. It's never the same. We want to keep it the same, particularly the good times.

I mean, I wish Holly were sitting with me right now. But we can't. What we can do is preserve the memories, respect the memories. And I'm going to do that with a big photo album of Holly. And I'm very grateful, by the way, because it wasn't for my son, you know, I'm a really busy guy and travel all over and everything. But I wouldn't probably have gotten Holly if it wasn't for Spencer. and he really wanted a corgi, and I went down at Georgia, at a breeder in Georgia to get her. And, you know, I knew that my son and daughter were going to be thrilled about it,

but I didn't know how emotional I would be with the dog. The dog was, you know, a very important part of our lives here. And it was such a nice dog. It was even impossible to get mad to get mad at the dog. dog is just eating, which is a puppy's eating every. I just couldn't get mad at the dog, you know. I just, anyway, nine and a half years, you know, I woke up this morning and kind of looking around and you know how it is.

We all go through it, whether it's a person, whether it's a pet, we all go through it, personal loss of people. But wouldn't trade those times for anything. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see again on Monday.
