Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News from Monday, December 2nd, 2004, stand up for your country. You know, Thanksgiving went fast. It always goes fast. Have you ever heard anybody go, ah, Thanksgiving went too slow? So I had a good one. We did here.

and now we're on to Christmas, which is really coming up fast. I'll talk about that at the end of the program. President Biden, as you know, Thanksgiving in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and then pardoned his son, Hunter. I'll get into that in great detail. And I have a kind of humorous take on it, tying it into a bunch of other stuff. And President Trump was in Mar-Lago. celebrating down there, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.

So four weeks after the vote, Donald Trump's pretty much around the country. He is. It's very interesting. I've never seen really a power shift this quickly in all my 50 years of observing national politics, but it's in play. So on Friday, little Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, that in Mara Lago. Pretty unusual. They met. Everybody was happy. Look at them smiling. Oh, yeah, we're having a great time. Trudeau got a free meal. And the reason that Justin went down there

is because Trump has threatened to put 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico because of all the migrant stuff, the drug stuff. And Justin wanted to go down and say, hey, we're going to work with you. Briefly, he made a statement. Go. Was it a productive meeting with President left? It was that conversation. That was it. Okay. And I don't expect Canada to give the USA any trouble on anything.

Ms. can't because Canada needs USA. Mexico is a little bit different. So last Wednesday, November 27th, Trump and the new president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, interesting woman, by the way, and I'll tell you a little bit about her in a moment. They got on the phone. And then Trump said, we worked it out. Mexico's going to close the border. We respond to Shineblum said, no, that's not what we said.

So let me put her statement up on a screen for those of you listening on a radio. I will read it. In our conversation with 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 for they reach the border. We reiterate that Mexico's position is not to close borders, but to build bridges between government and between peoples. That's the Mexican president, Claudia Schaenbaum. Well, that's not going to cut it, madam, with all due respect.

So you are going to have to do what the United States wants you to do. You can't assist, you can't holistic, you can't do any of that, all right? And if you do, then Donald Trump is going to punish you economically. But he doesn't even have to level a 25% tariff. All President Trump has to do is go on television and say to the American people, I hope you will not travel to Mexico because they are hurting the United States. That's it. That's all he has to do.

And the Mexican economy collapses without U.S. tourism over. You want to put a tariff that's going to hurt. You want to strangle them by saying, don't go there. That's a lot easier and a lot quicker. That's what I would do. Okay. Who is Claudia Shambam? She's a socialist, 62 years old.

old, very smart woman, physicist, doctorate in energy engineering, former mayor of Mexico City. Big job, one of the biggest cities on Earth. Now, Mexico is chaotic and corrupt. One of the most corrupt countries in the world. The drug cartels control much of Mexico. Everyone, including President Scheimam, fears them. And many Mexican government officials are taking bribes. And it infiltrates even to the armed forces.

The homicide rate in Mexico is the highest in the world. Your own people are being killed at an astonishing rate. And it's all because of drug smuggling and people smuggling. Yet, a president, a shine bomb, no, no, no, we have to, you know, no, lady. It doesn't make any sense at all. You're going to seal your border with Guatemala and you're going to seal it with the United States.

or your economy is going to go down a drain. There'll be a revolution. You'll be out on your butt. That's what's going to happen. Now, I'm not the president. I'm not a diplomat. I'm telling you straight, I would put it in other terms if I were negotiating, but what I just told you is going to happen. Now the big boy, bad Vlad.

He's in trouble. Now, this was a story that was not widely reported. but the ruble, the Russian ruble, its currency, is collapsed, totally collapsed. And this is because of the Ukrainian war and the sanctions on Russia. So, Russia's central bank intervened and said it's halting all foreign purchases using the ruble. So if you're a Russian oligarch and you want to buy perfume from Paris, you can't. You can't buy anything, all right, until the end of this year, probably longer, because the

rule is not worth anything. This is a catastrophe for the Russian economy, and prices for all the peasants in Russia, and that's 80, 90% of the population, are going to rise because there's no competition, it's all you have to buy Russian-made stuff, and they know it. that it just jack it up and the Russian people can't afford it. And all the savings you have in roubles say you put away

some money, not worth anything. So there's Vlad he has to get a deal with Trump. Has to now. So I assume it will happen and it'll happen fast. Now, a bunch

of sound bites. I predicted this would happen on February 15th, 2000, 2022, almost three years ago, roll it. So what I can tell you is that Putin is playing games. Oh, that's a shock. He's already won this. He's already got himself into the public eye worldwide.

That's what he wants, wants to be a rock star. If he does go into Ukraine, he'll be punished economically. And there it is. Okay. But the propagandists, and there are, Tulsi, Gabbard. Okay, that's why she's going to have trouble getting confirmed in the Senate because she was propping Putin up. Okay. But the worst is this guy, Colonel Douglas McGregor, you may have seen him around. Go. It's very tragic, but I think what will happen is the truth

will out. Eventually, this will end. The Russians will be successful in what they've set out to do, and the Ukrainians will be destroyed. I'd rather not see that. I don't think Putin wants to see that. Remember, he's fighting against people that he largely considers to be very much like himself. What a moron. But the isolationist grabbed on to that guy. Okay. Finally, Vlad himself, he wants to be friends with President Trump. Go.

But I think President Trump is a smart person and a cautious one, I hope. What amazed me most, that in fighting him, not only Trump was subjected to humiliating court procedures, accusations, and so on, but his family was attacked as well. His children was attacked. Gangsters don't do this in Russia. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. 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.

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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. No, they just kill your family, you know, part of with the court stuff.

Anyway, Donald Trump's catching an amazing break here, an amazing break, because Putin needs Trump now to make that deal in Ukraine, which will happen. Mark my words. All right, so summing up, Donald Trump's run in the country, even though he hasn't been inaugurated yet. And we'll give you the Biden stuff coming up.

But first I want to bring in Dr. Simon Miles. He is an associate professor of public policy at Duke University, a very smart guy in foreign affairs. He comes to us from Durham. So, doctor, anything I said that doesn't sit well with you? Well, Bill, I think I'm a little bit more cautious on Vladimir Putin's need for a deal. I understand what you're saying, but I think it's a little bit risky to assume that Vladimir

Putin is going to make the best, the smartest decision, because the smartest decision for Vladimir Putin in this entire war would have been not to have started it in the first place in February of 2022. And so while you and I can lay out all the reasons why Vladimir Putin should come to the bargaining table, it depends a lot on Vladimir Putin getting the picture as well. And based on his comments, for example, about what's going on with the ruble, with interest rates, and with inflation in Russia, I'm not sure how persuaded he is. All right, but he wants to be friends with Trump. Would you see that?

I think he likes to talk a big game and be sort of the international mocker, but let's not forget that Vladimir Putin is basically a professional liar. Everything he says tends to be at least some percentage alive. just a week before he invaded Ukraine when he was telling the world that it was totally ridiculous that anyone would ever suggest that the Russian Federation would invade Ukraine. So, of course, he would like a transactionally better deal. The question I think is whether Donald Trump is going to give him all of the things which we know he's going to demand in exchange for any kind of improvement on the situation in the ground in Ukraine or in the U.S.-Russia relationship in general.

Here's what I know about the framework of a proposed deal by the United States. And you're right. I mean, we don't know if some tyrant like Putin is going to accept it. But I think that the pressure that he's under now domestically and Russia will grow. All right. And Putin can't even come outside. I'm sure you're aware of that, professor. He can't go in, he can't even walk out to Red Square.

I mean, he has to be there. He never liked doing that. He's always like to stay in hiding. They had to build tunnels all throughout Moscow, all right, so he can go underground and then get out to a place where he can take, you know, a special flight to his dock on the Black Sea. He can't go anywhere because they're afraid he's going to be assassinated. I mean, he's not in good shape with the Russian people. So that, he's an, he is a feral human being. he senses he's got a sense that he's in danger physical danger of being killed so the the framework

is look glad ceasefire you stay where you are in ukraine ukrainians will say where they are and then down the road the people will vote whether they want to go with you or stay in ukraine that's pretty much the framework now Putin's not going to admit to any reparations and anything like that's pie in the sky is not going to do that but i think give Given that, he would say to Trump, because if he doesn't, Trump's going to up the sanctions. You're going to make it more painful for Russia to operate. I think that he'll get the deal. Last word.

I think the challenge here is that you're envisioning, and most people are envisioning, a land for peace deal. Vladimir Putin does not need more land, okay? He's got 11 times. No, I know, but he just wants out. He wants out now. It's a cover to get out, so he's not humiliated. As he said, he wants out, and this is the challenge to me. He said, what he has said, is that he wants to fundamentally transform the Ukrainian state

into basically being a Russian vassal. And I'm not really sure where he can really sell to the Russian people, of whom, as you rightly said, he does need to be aware of their opinions and their reactions to what's going on. So I think a land for peace type deal here, it's not clear to me that Vladimir Putin wants the land. What he's said all along that he wants is fundamentally to break the Ukrainian state. But the risk of a deal is just putting pause on that. He's got to know it's not going to happen. And he'll be punished more economically, just like Iran, very similar.

Okay, Professor, we really appreciate your point of view. Say hello to everybody at Duke for me. And thanks again for helping us out. Okay, let's get to Joe Biden. This is a fascinating story, and it has a lot to do with my book confronting the presidents, which is amazingly number five yesterday in the New York Times list. Talk about a colossal bestseller.

But anyway, so where is Biden today? He's in Africa. He took off. He stopped in Cape Verde, Cape Verde, which is the refueling stop and met with the president there of Cape Verde. Cape Verde is a rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean. Never been there. It's Portuguese territory. They're independent, but that's the colonial tie. But anyway, so Biden goes to Angola. Okay? Why? Well, there is a project called the Lobito Corridor. it's railway to get shipping of products from Zambia, Congo, and Angola.

I've been to Zambia, not been to Congo and Angola. They're too dangerous for journalists to go. Zambia you can go. Anyway, this is ostensibly the reason he's going over there. I don't know the real reason. This is a total waste of time and money. But the libido corridor is a reality, and we're paying for it. Okay?

All right. So he's going to meet with the Angolan president. that doesn't mean anything. He'll be back here on Wednesday. In the meantime, all hell breaks loose because on Nantucket for Thanksgiving, Biden's pardoned, his son Hunter, who has been convicted has he been convicted in the California case? No, I play guilty. Nine counts, federal counts, all right? Three misdemeanors and nine, six misdemeanors, and three felony taxes. And then, three felony gun charges. So that's a lot of stuff. And Biden, Hunter Biden, could be sentenced to prison. But they won't be now because his father, Joe Biden, says he's pardoned. And Hunter doesn't

face any state charges. So here's the statement from President Biden about the pardon. And quote, today I signed a pardon of my son Hunter. For the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making. I kept my word, even as I've watched my son being selectively an unfairly prosecuted, unquote. Okay, well, it was not unfair because Hunter Biden broke the law. Hunter Biden is a grifter. So is James Biden, the president's brother. And I'll go to say, in my opinion, Joe Biden's a grifter.

They all made money because Joe Biden was vice president and before that senator. Now, I don't know if you've done anything present because all the stuff bubbled up fast. But they're grifters, in my opinion. They made millions and millions of dollars off influence pedaling. So the nerve of Joe Biden is safe unfairly prosecuted. He got off light hunter, Biden with this stuff. okay that's number one number two biden was adamant that he wasn't going to pardon his son go

and i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing uh federal prosecution but let me ask you will you accept the jury's outcome their verdict no matter what it is yes and have you ruled out a pardon for your son yes no And September 5th of this year, 24, I predicted this. Should Hunter Biden be sentenced to prison, he could get 17 years. I don't believe he will be, but if he is, he'll be pardoned by his father. Yay, another one comes true. It wasn't hard.

As I said from the very beginning, Joe Biden is a man of no seasons. It doesn't believe in anything. I can't see any belief that the man has. He just floats. So if it's convenient to say to ABC News, I'm not going to pardon my son. That's what he's going to say. If he goes to Antarctica for Thanksgiving and his wife and everybody else is going, you better pardon Hunter.

That's what he's going to do. All right. You don't have any convictions. But here's the most important part of the story. Yes, the left and the left. the right or all. That's all you're going to hear in cable news. I, that 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, lawmakers, 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 tune 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 size, 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. Here's the most important part of the story. Do Biden is going down in history as a second worst president of all time. And that's why I referenced confronting the president's because I make that case in the book. All right. He is, all of these things drag him down in the court of public opinion. He will never. It's very similar to Jimmy Carter. Nobody defends Carter's presidency. Nobody. All right. He was a failed president. Biden's worse. by a lot. James Buchanan is the worst president.

Nobody's ever going to top him. You want to know, you're re-confronting. And there were other bad presidents on the par with Biden, but not as bad as Biden because he created the problems. The open border was created by Biden, all right? And the fact that he's a grifter,

that Joe Biden is a grifter. Now, I get a lot of letters for him and say, oh, how come Biden has been prosecuted? because there isn't any evidence that the public or I have seen that would warrant that. They have investigated his banking records. There's all kinds of suspicions. He refinances his house a number of times.

Why? Why would you do that? You have two lavish homes in Delaware's refinance them all the time. There's no explanation for it. But those are suspicions. That's not hard evidence. If I were Trump, I'd just let Biden go. I wouldn't go after Biden.

And the final point I want to make is if I were Joe Biden, I would have done the same thing. Number one, I wouldn't have lied about it to David Muir. Okay, I wouldn't have said, I'm not going to part my son. But when it came down to the last end of my tenure in the White House, and if my son were facing 17 years in prison, federal prison, I'd have partnered. I would. And that's me as a human being. Now, thank God my son would never do that.

All right? If you look at Hunter Biden, my God. But the other son, the late Bo Biden, was exemplary. And none of us are without sins, so we can't be making these judgments. All right. But by pardoning his son, Hunter, Joe Biden, and drags his image even lower. I mean, what else is this going to happen?

I don't think anything else will happen. So just get in his jammies for Christmas, and then he's going to show up at the inauguration for Trump. That's good. At least he says he is, and I think he will. But, boy, in the history books, this guy is second worst. Okay, Trump appoints Cash Patel, FBI chief. Who is Cash Patel?

Under the first of Trump administration, he was deputy assistant to the president, senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Man knows what he's doing, all right? He knows the government. He is a partisan. He loves Donald Trump. He's always said that and makes, you know, straightforward, I think he's the greatest. This is what Patel says. Tel is being rewarded. It's going to the FBI with the mandate. Clean it up. What's the problem with the FBI? At the top in D.C., It's run by ideologues, left-wing ideologues. Jagger Hoover, the most famous FBI guy, and if you want to know all about how corrupt he was, he was killing the mob.

Jerry Goeuvre is worse. He was a right-wing idolat. But now, after James Comey and McCabe and all these guys, they're left-wing ideologues run in that organization. Now, how does that affect the ground FBI agents? I don't know. I know morale is terrible because I know some FBI agents. Moral is appointed by Trump to go in and clean this ideology stuff up. First thing you hear is former deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, who was booted

out for corruption. Okay. Say this. Go. The installation or the nomination, I guess, we should say at this point, of Cash Patel's FBI director, can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI, and to possibly use it as a tool for the president's political agenda. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You remember McCabe, he worked with Come on the Russian collusion thing. Come on. Come on. You couldn't even get that straight. because you didn't want to. And the Clinton, Hillary Clinton, phone thing, which is clearly guilty of taking national security documents and putting on a personal phone, and then erasing it, tampering with the evidence. And, come on.

These guys are just unbelievable. So I don't know whether Cash Patel is going to get through the Senate. I believe he will. I would vote for him. If a Republican votes against him, he's going to be, he or she, because it's likely to be Murkowski or Collins, those two, they're going to be on Trump's list.

But I think he'll get through. Not so Pete Heggseth. I'm going to do that tomorrow. He's not going to make it. All right. But I've said that before. Now, the current FBI director is Christopher Ray. He's not as bad as Combe and McKay, but he's bad.

Roll a tape. Does the FBI have confidential human sources? Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6th protesters? on January 6th of 2021. Well, Congressman, as I'm sure you can appreciate, I have to be very careful about what I can say about when you are. Even now, because that's what you told us two years ago. Did you have confidential human sources, dresses,

Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January the 6th prior to the doors being open? Again, I had to be very careful. It should be a no. He's a weasel. He's a weasel. Well, you could say no or yes. All right. So, anyway, a Republican senator sticking up for Ray. Go. Chris Ray, you know, who the president nominated the first time around,

and I think the president picked a very good man to be the director of the FBI when he did that in his first term. When we meet with him behind closed doors, I've had no objections to the way that he's handled himself. closed doors how about we the people he's a weasel when he gets out there so i'm glad great ray is gone by DEA drug enforcement agency very important agency this story gets no ink at all there would be a new director his name is chad cronister he is the sheriff of hillsborough county florida why is chad getting the head of the DEA because he's but he's but with Pam Bondi, the new Attorney General nominee. They're pals in Florida.

Now, the sheriff is also the son-in-law of Edward D. Bartolo Jr., former owner of the San Francisco 49ers, who got into trouble and was pardoned by Donald Trump the first time around. Now, drugs are a tremendous national security problem. And I hope the sheriff's up to the job because we've got to do something about this. Listen to these stats. Drug abuse is associated with one out of every three crimes committed in the United States. Sixteen percent of all homicides are drug-related. 1.16 million Americans are arrested annually for drug offenses.

244,000 Americans sent to prison for drug-related crimes. 80 percent of prison inmates abused drugs or alcohol. Men account for 77 percent of all drug-related crimes. related arrests, and this all comes from the National Center for Drug Arrest Stats from the FBI. And the overdose, more than 100,000 every year now, and it's way more than that, way more than that, but they don't report heart problems and other physical problems, AIDS, the needles, dirty needle, but it's over 100,000. And that's all coming from Mexico. And now, you know, Shinebaum, Blame it, China, not the cartels.

Jesus. Anyway, the solution to the narcotics problem in America is very, very hard sentences for the dealers and importers. I don't care if you're addicted. You sell that drug on the street, that's what drives it down. Can't do anything about the addicts if you're not willing to isolate them and force them to rehab. You've got to force them. And most places aren't willing to do that. But you can crack down on the dealers and importers. Smart life. Avoiding scams this Christmas. I get this stuff on my phone.

The U.S. Postal Service is holding a package for you. UPS has something that you need to sign for. The government has a tax refund. The government, the post office, and UPS do not do business. on this if you see that it is a scam ignore it the scammers are out there and they're going after the old folks 70% of 65 plus are reported getting targeted by scammers on the internet do not open that email or text if the government wants to do business they send it to your address, your home. And nothing is going to happen to these scammers. They're not going to catch them.

You put money on the internet. It's gone. Smart life. This day in history. December 2nd, 1845, James K. Pope, president, one of the great presidents. And again, in confronting, you'll see why. He gives a state of a union. He says, hey, USA has to expand from Atlantic to Pacific.

We have to have all the territory of North America. It's ours. And the reason is Louisiana Purchase, 1803, we got that big track of land. Oregon Trail, Lewis and Clark, all that, okay? And Britain wanted West Coast territory. Mexico controlled much of the southwest. So we had to get it from Mexico. So, Pope goes to war.

Mexico was stupid and provoked us, but the war, 1846 to 48, two years, we kicked their butts all over the place, and we took California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and that was the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. You know, you heard all this in school, right? Yeah, sure. Anyway, 179 years ago today, President James K. Polk says, hey, USA, Atlantic to Pacific and made it happen back with the final thought in a moment okay final thought of the day 23 days before christmas eve gonna fly by there's nothing anybody can do even if you went to sleep most of

the time as holly the terra dog does it's still gonna go whoosh so what i did yesterday uh i was watching the jets lose i got to take the team over i have to it's just driving me nuts but anyway i'm watching the Jets lose and I got a big piece of paper and I'm putting down all the names of the people that I want to give gifts to. And then next to them, I'm going to give the gift. I got it all done yesterday. Every bit. So there's no uncertainty and no what I'm, no, no, there's one person that I'm still on the, I'm going to give a donation in her name, all right, to big brothers, big sisters. They're very worthy. If you're looking to give some charity, big brothers, big sisters, in your local area, very worried.

You got to help the kids. They don't have a mom or a dad, very hard. So anyway, so there's one that I'm still trying to figure out. And when you ask people, well, what would you like for Christmas? You never get anything. If you ask me, I gave, somebody said, what would you like for Christmas when I want this sweatshirt? And I just showed them.

And it's not a lot, but I need a new sweatshirt. That's what I want. Anyway, you got to do it either today or tomorrow. You've got to get that list. And then you can execute the list. And then you're not going to have stress and all kinds of, you know, you want at least the last week leading up to Christmas, it's that fun. See friends, you know, get a little, bake a little, baking.

I can't bake, but I know people that bake. You know, baking is good, right? So you don't want to be like, you don't want to be like, relax. I'm going, after Christmas, I'm going to a place, and I can't tell you where it is, because of obvious reasons, but it's really on my list that I wanted to go. But when I get back, I'll tell you, it's going to be a lot of fun. But I plan everything out. I'm a planner.

And planning is good, but particularly around Christmas time, because we want everybody to have, and Hanuk and Christmas on the same day. So we want everybody to have fun. All right, thank you very much for watching and listening, as always, to the NoSpin News. We'll see you again tomorrow.
