Perhaps the most important thing the federal government is doing right now affects you directly. It's about your money. It's about how much money you give to the feds in tax revenue.

It's about how much money you keep to survive. Okay? And that with the tax bill and with the budget bill, and it's very hard to cover these things because they're burying. They're dull. It's like being an accounting class. But I promise I will make this interesting. And if I don't, you can mock me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town.

All right, talking points memo is about money. So here is President Trump's budget proposal. Keep in mind, the federal debt, how much this country owes is $37 trillion, a record, a dangerous level. Why is it dangerous? Because if people who borrow money from the United States begin calling in the loan, selling bonds, selling securities, that kind of thing, government is not going to be able to cover it. Okay? And that puts us into a terrible economic circumstance.

That's why debt is dangerous. It corresponds to your own house. If you owe an astronomical amount of money and you can't pay it back, you're going to get it right between the eyes. It's just a matter when, not if. Okay. So, President Biden was the big, biggest spending chief executive in history by far. He did not care how much money the government

spent. He used all of the programs to buy votes. That is in stone fact. Anybody denies that they are lying to you. Here's the kick. Biden okayed nearly $5 trillion of new spending over a 10-year period while he was in office that the government couldn't cover okay now trump comes in and he slash and burns you know musk you know doge that's just the pittance okay that's just you know it's symbolic so trump wants to cut a hundred and sixty three billion this year 2006 fiscally from the domestic spending. No cuts for Social Security and Medicare, despite what the opposition says. But there would be caps on how much the federal government sends to the states to pay Medicaid. That's what these charlatans are giving you. They're going to cut Medicaid because they want

to cap it. All right? Why do they want to cap it? Come back to me. They want to cap it because there are no work requirements in 49 out of the 50 states to get Medicaid. So a sane system, an honest system would say, if you are able-bodied, you have to look for a job to qualify for this Medicaid stuff. Not if you have four kids or you're a single mom or you're sick, no. But if you're an able-bodied man, you've got to look or woman with no children. Only one, you're One state has that. You know what state it is? Georgia.

49 don't have it. So the layabouts can just get free medical care. Trump wants to cap it. Okay. So when you hear Trump wants to cut Medicaid, that is the deception. All right. Here are the federal departments that Trump wants to cut. Go.

Commerce Department, 17%. Education 15. Energy 9. Environmental Protection Agency, a whopping 55%. That's the green stuff. Health and human services, 26%. RFK Jr. says that's because there's redundancy. Five people doing the same thing. Apartment of housing and urban development, 44%. Labor Department 35, NASA, 24. Okay? Got it? Those are the cuts that. Trump wants. Democrats want no cuts for anything. They're happy with the $58 trillion debt of $57 trillion. I'm sorry, 36. I keep saying $50. It's $37 trillion debt. That's what it is. Democrats want no cuts. None. Just want to keep running it up. Okay. Here is the budget increase schedule for Trump. Department of Homeland Security, 65%. That's deportations.

And now the Trump administration is going to offer migrants $1,000 to get out of here. We'll do that tomorrow. I want to look at the proposal. Defense Department 13, that's because China and Russia. Transportation, 6%. That's more air traffic controllers. Department of Veterans Affair, 4%. That meets the inflation rate for veterans' health benefits.

OK. Now, again, this is not going to get a single vote in the Democratic precincts. Roll the tape. The budget that the president put out that we just are reviewing now is one that is really a shame. A budget should be a statement of our national values. What is important to us as a nation

should be reflected in that budget. It should be a budget of investing in our future for our children and the rest. Yeah, our children, invest, yeah, but with no limits at all. Now, the final part of this Talking Points memo is the press will seize upon all the cuts to give you soft stories because people will suffer. They will. When you cut the programs, people are going to be left out.

People who are getting government subsidies aren't going to get them. They're not going to be happy. I'm going to this. This person is going to starve to death. And you will see that constantly on the corporate. media. Okay? Well, what is the alternative? It's just maddening. But that's a two-party system. Republicans are going to cut, smaller government, Democrats spend, spend, spend, we don't care if we spend ourselves into bankruptcy, which we have, and that's the memo.

Donald Trump also wants to knock out all federal money to PBS and PR and take the tax subsidy away from Harvard University. Okay? So Harvard's supposed to be, you know, a nonprofit and all of that and they get

a tax credit for it. Huge tax credits. And Harvard Trump doesn't like Harvard and says, no, no more tax credits for you, NPR and PBS you're on your own. It's going to have trouble with the NPR PBS. Harvard would be able to,

be able to knock that out. But Congress is in charge of the money. And when it gets into court, it will. Harvard's already suing. But federal judge, if you follow the way we're structured, might go, hey, look, Congress has got to OK, taking money away from PBS and NPR. And there was a bill that was supposed to be introduced by that Loon, Marjorie, Taylor, Green, but I haven't seen the bill. That would be the way to do it, have Congress say, no, pass the law, much easier. Anyway, here's what I said on the News Nation special about Donald Trump's first 100 days. Part of Trump's war on woke has now been a war on Harvard University. You are alma mater.

Do they deserve it? Yeah, they do. And I'll tell you something else I haven't really made public. So I'm in touch with a lot of people at Harvard. And I said, look, I'll broker a deal with you guys and the president if you want me to. But I said, if you want me to do it, you're going to have to agree to change. You can't have 82% of your faculty defining themselves as left, far left. And that's the rub.

You can't have tax money going into ideological. concerns. You can't. And that's why Trump will win that. All right. I just want to throw in one more thing about your money. You heard if you saw the town hall on News Nation with me taking apart, Carville and the Massachusetts Congressperson, Auctions Lush, all these wild things about the stock market and trillion dollars disappearing. As of Friday, the S&P is up 0.28% from Liberation Day. So all of the stock losses have been recovered. Maybe not in your portfolio, certainly not in mine.

I've got some stocks that got a hammer and they haven't come back. But generally speaking, it's a wash at this point. Supreme Court, back here. Fascinating case. 14th Amendment says that all persons, all, A.L.A. in the Constitution that are born on American soil are American citizens. It doesn't say you have to be here legally, doesn't say anything about that. All persons born on the soil get American citizenship automatically. 14th Amendment passed in 1868, and as you probably know, it was passed because of

slaves. And they were citizen-less. Slaves weren't citizens in the South during a civil war. They were emancipated and then they became citizens, but it was all murky, so they had to have the 14th Amendment saying, look. I'm going to reuniening to my family, because we're going to Burlington for the event of liquidation candidate. We're going to now

to find the best of the best in articles of liquidation, from from the house, and much more. With offers, over-offerts, I can't go every day to be how can't afford. My kids and I expect with anxies the liquidation, because it's very hot for

Perlinson. Markas. Rebaughes. Wow. Your local Benjamin Moore retailer is more than a paint expert. There's someone with paint in their soul. A six cents honed over decades. And if you have a question about paint, it's almost as if they can read your mind. I sense you need a two inch angle brush for the trim in your family room. Regal selected an eggshell finish and directions to the post office. Benjamin Moore paint is only sold at locally owned stores Benjamin Moore

See the love If a black baby or any baby Born on U.S. soil is the citizen And they did it It passed it, 14th Amendment Well now the Trump administration Doesn't think that is good for the country Because there are somebody undocumented people

Here, 15 million at least They're having babies and President Trump's going, we're rewarding illegality. They shouldn't be here by granting their offspring citizenship. So it's in a Supreme Court. Isn't that an interesting, fascinating case? In order to overturn the 14th Amendment, you would have to get two-thirds of the House and the Senate to okay it.

And that'll never happen because there's not one Democrat that I know of who would vote to overturn the 14th Amendment. Not one. And even if it did happen, then you have to go to the states and two-thirds of the states would have to ratify it. That's how hard it is to get rid of a constitutional amendment. So it can't happen. And the Supreme Court can't just say, I'm waving the wand, and this constitutional amendment is gone. You can't. So the Trump administration is going to lose. It knows it'll lose.

But it wants to bring this to the attention of the nation. and it wants to try to get some regulations involved here. But I can't see any fundamental overturn of the 14th Amendment. Just our system. Gavin Newsom running for president. He told you this earlier this week. And he sees an opportunity because there's no competition on the Democratic side for him at this point. So Newtsum, I mean, talk about a hypocrite.

This is hypocrite number one. And I don't even know Nussum, okay? So earlier he says he wants all the homeless camps to be dismantled in California. Well, what took you so long? You've been governor for six years. Well, you know, it costs to state billions of dollars. And it's destroyed San Francisco and other cities. And all of a sudden, you're enlightened.

You want the homeless camps dismantled? It was a public safety problem then when it's, started six years ago when you were governor when you came in still a public safety and public health you can knock it out in a second under the law now he says uh we're going to freeze health care payments to the undocumented remember california is the biggest undocumented population in the country it spends more than five billion dollars california spent five billion dollars giving free health care aliens and their families. Okay. So now, Newsom goes, oh, we're going to stop that. Roll the tape. So here are the solutions. Five billion dollars on a freeze on our Medi-Cal expansion. We're not

cutting or rolling back those that are enrolled in our Medi-Cal system. We're just capping it, particularly for those with documentation. They're not cutting. They're cap. It's what you. We this guy is so what do you do it five years ago what do you do it it's so ridiculous all right so in addition to that california is the highest deficit of any state it is the largest state of union okay about 40 million people with there and has a 12 billion dollar year deficit so it's broke essentially it's broke here's what newsome says about that go under assault. The United States of America in many respects is under assault because we have a president that's been reckless in terms of assaulting those growth engines has created a climate

of deep uncertainty and certainly has California in his sights. So it's Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault that California has a $12 billion a year deficit. Okay, Democrats, this is what you are? This is what you're going to put up. J.D. Vance got to be the happiest guy in a world. You've got to be the happiest guy in the world. Yeah. Bring it on. Unbelievable. Okay, smart life. There are a lot of things involved with having a smart life, and one of them is actually being smart.

Now, how do you get smart? You got to learn stuff. That's how. Okay? I wasn't particularly smart when I graduated from college, and that'll play into my final thought. I wasn't dumb. I mean, I went through rigorous schools, but I, you know, I was a dopey young man, I would say. But I read like crazy.

I read everything I could get. And I started to learn and learn and learn and learn and learn. And then I went to grad school and got a master's degree in broadcast journalism. And then I started my career, and every story I covered, I learned from. So I got, I built myself, my smart life up to a point where I was admitted to Harvard. Okay? And it wasn't easy to get into the graduate program there. Now, I'm going to start Bill's book club with all apologies to Oprah.

Oprah started the Oprah Book Club. Oprah goes for the kind of weepy women's kind of thing, self-help. I'm not doing that. I'm going for the information books. So there are two out now I want to recommend to you. The first one is Mark Twain by the historian Ron Chernow. Now, if you've ever read Chernow stuff, he is a brilliant historian. But Mark Twain book is 800 pages.

I got it sitting on my shelf over here, and I'm going, do I have time to read 800 pages? And the answer is, I don't. I don't have time to read 800 pages. But I'm going to read some of it. And not only is about Mark Twain, but it's about the 19th century. All right. And I want to learn a little bit more about what happened between after the Civil War and Chetty Roosevelt. There's a little bit of gap there.

Now I wrote Killing Crazy Horse, and that fills in a lot of it. But I'm going to look at it, but I know I'm not going to get through 800 pages of that. But it's worth me having it around. And I have in my library a book on Machiavelli owned by Mark Twain. And Mark Twain wrote notes inside the book. So I've got a connection with Mark Twain, whose name was Samuel Cummins, of course. Second book is The War for America, for Ty Condoroga, to Charleston 1777 to 1780, faded the day. Now, Atkinson is really a good historian, okay?

But again, big book, Dent's book, he's writing three books about the Revolutionary War. This is the second. I will read this book, okay? So on my nightstand, I'm going to start it. I've already perused it, but I'm going to start it in earnest tonight. I'm going to read that book because I wrote Killing England. Okay, and I want to know, you know, where, like that. Atkinson is much more detailed.

See, my books are 300, 310 pages, and they whip through. It's like, boom, all right? So you get an idea. All the essentials are in the book, particularly with confronting the presence. We do every president, and that's about 400 pages, but boom, it's lightning. These books are much more deliberative. They will make you smarter. You will know things that most people don't know.

And that's what I want to get into in the Smart Life Bills Book Club. But if I read a book that's really entertaining and doesn't have that much, I'll recommend that as well. All right, Canada Day at the White House, this stuff, I keep telling you, if it's Tuesday and this happens, something else is going to happen on Thursday. All right, so the new prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, throws his face up there. I'll tell you about him on a radio. So he was raised at Fort Smith, which is an outpost in a Northwest Territories of Canada, a small-town guy, 60 years old, has the Liberal Party. And he graduated Magnicum-Lowdy from Harvard, okay, in 1987.

That means he's a smart guy, agree in economics. He worked for Goldman Sachs all over the world. So this is a money man, okay? So he comes to Washington because he has to. come to watch. I've been telling you, the United States is not going to buy Canada. We're not going to send troops to Canada. Canada's not going to be the 51st day. All of that is hyperbole. Okay. And it has been from day one. And okay, if I'm the only one who knows it, then I'm lonely. So Carney comes in, flies down from Ottawa, and he says this, go.

And, you know, the history of Canada and the U.S. is we're stronger when we work together, and there's many opportunities to work together, and I look forward to addressing some of those issues that we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation. All right, you know, it's like they're friends now. I said in the very beginning, Canada and Mexico, I'm going to work out their tower problems. They have to.

All right, they need us. We don't need them. Here's President Trump. Go. Well, we'll be talking about. different things. You know, we want to protect our automobile business, and so does Mark. But we want to protect. We want to make the automobiles, and we want to, you know, we have a tremendous abundance of energy more than any country. We have, just in Alaska alone, Anwar has been

reopened now. Anwar is probably the largest find anywhere in the world. They say it's larger than Saudi Arabia. I don't know, but it's a lot. But we have tremendous amounts of energy. Other countries don't. We're both lucky in that way. All right, so they're going to work it out, okay? And all of this, we're going to take over Greenland, we're going to take over Panama. Stay here, okay? Watch and listen to me. The best coast just got better.

In the time it takes us to say, we're using Folgers instant coffee, seamlessly blended with water and ice, a splash of whatever kind of milk is your thing, and got to get that caramel drizzle. All to make a toasty, roasty, caramel iced coffee. You could be enjoying it. Every damn sip of it.

Damn right. It's Fulger's instant. Now, you would ask, well, why does President Trump do all this? Why? Because he wants his negotiating opponents on the defenses. He wants to throw in uncertainty. That's how he does it. If you read the United States of Trump,

that has been negotiating posture since he was 22 years old. He never deviates from it. Create chaos on the other side. Say all of this stuff. You don't have to do it. Just say it. But anyway, it's a good thing that Canada and the United States, and Mexico in the United States, we have more problems with Mexico, as I laid out yesterday

with the drug cartels. Canada will come around and they will reach some kind of deal I predict. I would like it to be quicker, okay, than it is, but there's just national pride. Carney's got to go back and he can't be presenting himself as somebody surrendering to Trump. It's the same thing with Shine Bomb in Mexico. I can't let Trump and Tim me. And that's the downside to negotiating aggressively. That if you surrender to that, then your people think that you lost. What Trump is good at doing is win-win. Okay, that's how I negotiate. I have to negotiate a lot of stuff. All right, and I run three corporations here. And I'm trying, I always try to get in a situation where everybody wins. Some people win more

than others, okay. And then that's into Trump's ego zone. But if everybody wins, a deal is much easier to make. And that's what I believe will happen. Now, former Vice President Mike Pence has staked himself as a conservative ideologue. He's not a bomb thrower, like the talk radio guys or anything like that. But he sees him himself as a conservative purist. And as we know, Donald Trump is not a conservative purist. He holds on conservative positions because his MAGA base is largely conservative. But Pence is doctrinaire. So he goes on CNN, this is interesting yesterday. The only reason CNN invites Mike Pence on is to bash Trump.

I couldn't care less what Mike Pence has to say. That's why they invite him on. invite him on. Go. It would stifle American growth, limit prosperity, drive up costs for American consumers, and we ought to be driving again toward that principle of free trade with free nations and standing tough, standing firm on authoritarian regimes like China. So you think he's wrong on tariffs? I do think this version of tariff policy that's broad-based, indiscriminate, applies tariffs to friend and foe alike, is not a win for the American people. Okay, but remember, there was no solution put forth by Vice President Pence or anybody else as to how to get that trillion-dollar trade imbalance down.

And to this day, I don't think Mr. Pence has a solution. He doesn't like the tariffs worldwide. I don't like the tariffs worldwide. Why don't I like them? Because they create instability in the financial marketplaces. So rather than investments and performance, the stock market, the bond market, the dollar and all that is fluctuating around based on what Sri Lanka might do that day. That's instability. All right?

But I understand you've got to get the trade and balance down if you want Americans to make more money in the marketplace. And I'm not criticizing Mike Pence, but if he's got something that would improve the trade amounts, I'd like to hear it, because I have not. All right. The Department of Homeland Security, this is Christy Knoem, says that if you are an undocumented alien, the government will pay for your flight home and give you $1,000 when you get there. Okay, this is the latest. So it's called self-deporting. And this is funny. So the Homeland Security Department has one person who's done this, allegedly one,

out of $15 million. Apparently the person went from Chicago to Honduras, back to Honduras, on a free air ticket from us, tact fair, and they'll get $1,000 when they do something. I don't really know what. Now, this is not going to work. Number one, most undocumented are not going to do it because they don't trust anybody, much less the U.S. government.

Number two, although there are some carrots here, that you could come back to the USA legally at a later date and that if you apply for this program, we won't deport you, okay, Homeland Security won't go after you so you'll get a notice that you're cooperating and you'll be free from that. But I just don't see it. And nobody knows how much money that it'll cost. So it's a thousand bucks for every migrant wants to get back and the airline ticket. Now here's something that's interesting. Department of Homeland Security says it costs $17,000 on average to arrest, attain, and remove an undocumented immigrant. 17,000, each one. And I think it's way more than that, because remember, when they're living here, if you live in California,

and other liberal state, you get all kinds of free health and free this and free that and, you know, okay. But just to get them back to their home, country costs $17,000 ahead. All right, Pentagon Pete Higgsiff, defense secretary, and this is why Trump hired Higson. It says 1.2 million U.S. service people right now. There are 4,240 trans people. Now, I'm not saying that the trans people join the military so they get their gender affirming care free, but that might be the case, $52 million a year. So Egg Seth and Trump say, no more. You're out. We're not doing it. So the trans people in the military have to June 6th, it's coming up fast to resign. And I guess they'll get an honorable discharge if they do so. kicked out. But starting today, no more transgender affirming care in the military. Smart life.

Now, this is a tip that you need to know, particularly if you live in and around a big city, as I do in New York. So right now, I am about 18 miles, oh, maybe 20 miles in the Midtown Tunnel. Now, that doesn't seem like a lot, right? Right? You take me an hour and a half to get there because the traffic is insane. And not only is insane here in Long Island, it's insane all over the tri-state area. And in Boston and in Philadelphia and in Baltimore and at Washington and in Chicago and in all the West Coast cities and in Dallas and Atlanta everywhere. So, AAA says that record-breaking travel this Memorial Day weekend.

Yeah, you might lose a little sleep, take a nap. Okay? And then on your car radio, you get stations from all over the place of fun, if you still have that. But anyway, that's a smart life tip. though those are the windows and i'm telling you it'll make your life so much easier because sit in and that traffic hour after hour after hour after hour and you're never going to get around it mart life concierge membership no i tell you this but now i'm going to give you some

So I'm going to give you three that we did recently in the last week. So we had a woman in Nevada, heartbreaking story. Her sister has dementia. And this woman,

young woman, fairly young, had to care for her, has to care for her. And what? It's a killer. Because you can't travel, you can't go anywhere. You can do it. anything you need relief so we discovered in nevada the state of nevada there is an organization called dementia friendly that health people in this circumstance nobody knows about it dementia friendly and it goes through uh the state so the state helps it out so we hooked up this woman with dementia friendly and they solved a lot of her problems you know how that that was to her. Number two, when you get involved with the IRS or the VA or Social Security or any bureaucracy, you're hosed. You're hosed. Because they're not going to respond and you'll wait hours and hours and then you'll get somebody named Tammy on the

phone and Tammy, I'll say, I'm going to do this, and we won't do it, and you can't do anything about it. So there's a fairly significant problem with this guy in Texas. Okay? Came to us, and we put him in touch with a woman named Sarah Schultz Lacky from the Office of Regional Commissioner's Social Security. She is a hero. This woman is a hero. Sarah Schultz Lacken helped this guy and the guy's whole life turned around. because we know where the heroes are.

Third one, Maryland, okay? This was not at the level of the other two, but it's annoying. So there's a guy comes, so he said, look, I just spent a lot of money buying an item at Lowe's, all right? L-O-W-E-S. Now, my experience with Lowe has been good, my life, okay? Home Depot, too.

And so he said, okay, he gave us all the information, boom we got it solved in a half an hour and loads are great it's just a matter of getting the problem in front of the right people not tammy we can do that you can't concierge membership bill o'reilly dot com you will never regret it and we keep the price down all right because we want to provide this service all right here is the final thought of the day so every morning I take about 45 minutes to an hour to work on concierge members' questions. And we have a staff for that. And people write in about problems they're having,

and we guide them to the solution. That's what we do. And then people have news questions, and they have questions about many, many things, and we answer those questions. Okay? It's a very worthy program, concierge. membership to bill o'reilly.com. One of the themes, and I had it again this morning,

is that older people, say, over the age of 60, get in trouble. Somebody does something mean to them, nasty, unfair, and they have no money to right the wrong. They're broke. They're utterly dependent on Social Security, maybe a little bit of a pension. They have the government entitlements that they paid into and they don't have any other reserve. You are powerless if that's your circumstance. People can do stuff to you and you cannot write the wrong. Because to do that, you have to hire a lawyer, you have to file against the bad person. If you don't have the money to do it, you're going to get screwed.

Now, it's too late for many of the senior citizens. They're not going to get any more money. But here's the scandal in America. Money management is not taught in any public school that I know of. Maybe there's a few accounting courses, but how to handle money is not taught. So kids grow up and they have no blank an idea. how to accumulate, save, invest, do anything with money. And if they have ridiculous parents, and watch the parents spend all the money,

that's what the kids are going to do. Okay? There's no guidance, no effort on the part of the public school system in the United States of America to educate citizens about money, which is the most important thing in a capitalist society. If you do not have it, you are defenseless, as I said. Now, when I write back to these concierge members who are absolutely screwed, and a lot of it's horrific, you know, people are doing stuff to them, and you can go to small claims court, that doesn't cost much.

You can go to legal aid. Some of the legal aid stuff is responsible. Some of it isn't. That's free advice, legal aid, okay? If you're a vet, you can go to your VFW, you can get the names of veteran doctors and lawyers and things like that who may help you because you've got that similarity in being veterans. There are pathways that I can give you. But in the end, okay, if you are indigent and you can't cover the bills,

you're never going to be able to protect yourself, ever. And this makes me so sad because a lot of these people are good people. They just never paid attention. Yeah, it's their fault. Okay, somewhat, but a lot of them are ill. A lot of them got hurt by accidents. A lot of them got swindled out of their money. My friend Billy Joel got swindled out of tens of millions of dollars, and he's talented

enough to get it back when most people aren't. So you've got to, if you are a parent or grandparent, you've got to sit down with those urchins and you've got to talk about money. You have to. I told you this many times. father said to me whatever you take home whether you're shoveling snow your babysitting you're cutting longs right 10% goes in the bank and I have done that since I'm 12 years old and then when you get certain amount of money

you can invest it cautiously okay interest and all that bonds that pay interest cautiously and then you're not gonna be broke how many kids know that. Very few. Okay, that is the final thought. And I hope you consider concierge membership because even if you're in bad shape, we can probably alleviate your suffering somewhat.

Thank you for watching and listening to the NOSMAN News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you get them on.
