Starting point is 00:01:00 Hi Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, March 31st, 2025, stand up for your country, ton to tell you about today. Yesterday, the three Americans show, the first one, went very well. 1,300 Americans. see any undocumented people in there. Ticket prices are a little high, but everybody seemed to have a good time. And we had people, you know, asking about that.
Starting point is 00:01:40 So it went very well. I'm going to show you a couple of clips tonight in the No Spin News. It's a unique concept. We'll talk about it as the week unfolds. Talking Points Memo is something that has not been reported. Donald Trump wants to change the culture. the culture of the United States. And we're going to give you a couple of vivid examples
Starting point is 00:02:05 and our pal Bernie Goldberg is going to come up and analyze as well. Okay, so the first play is getting liberalism out of the system. So Washington, D.C., New York City, and Los Angeles, the three most powerful centers in America, and in the world, are dominated by liberal people. There's no doubt about that. There's no question. It's not debatable.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Liberal people dominate those places. Trump is trying to root that out. Huge undertaking. Here's an example. On Thursday, March 27th, the president signs an executive order about the Smithsonian Institution, which is the largest museum, the world. Obviously, everybody's heard about it. It has history, it has culture, it has just
Starting point is 00:03:07 about everything. Okay? Trump believes that liberals run the show and they are putting propaganda into the museum. That's what he believes. I haven't been there in a while, also, I can't really weigh in on it today. But I do know that 90% of executives in Washington, D.C. are liberal. I knew that. I know that for sure. Here's what the executive order about the Smithsonian said, quote. The vice president in consultation with the assistant to the president for domestic policy, Lindsay Halligan Esquire, shall work to effectuate the policies of this order, the executive order.
Starting point is 00:03:56 through his role on the Smithsonian Board of Regents, where J.D. Vance already is. He's on the Board of Regents. With respect to the Smithsonian Institution, its museums, education research centers, and the National Zoo, including by seeking to remove improper ideology and such properties, I recommend to the President any additional actions necessary to fully effectuate such policies, unquote. Well, the word, the words, improper ideology, whoa. So every leftist in the country knows what that is, and they don't like it. Roll the tape.
Starting point is 00:04:38 So the idea that he's going to have to the Smithsonian is absurd. I mean, it's an amazing institution, the Smithsonian. And by the millions of people come there every year to look at it, and the fact that he wants to shut it down or cut it and gut it like he's doing to everything. is, of course, on message for him, but totally against what we should be doing. All right, so that's Congressman from New Jersey, Guthheimer, he's a Trump hater. He's actually running for governor, New Jersey. Anyway, Trump isn't trying to shut it down.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Gut it? Maybe, you know, he does not want a left-wing culture on display in the a Smithsonian Institution. Doesn't. Now, I think he'd probably be okay with the right-wing culture, and that might be problematic. So I'm following a story here. The other cultural change is how the federal government spends our money. And this is obviously you know all about,
Starting point is 00:05:44 Doge and Musk and all of that. That's a cultural change, because what we have at the federal, federal level now is a massive amount of money going to certain entities, many of which are left wing. It's undeniable. Trump is trying to shut that down completely. That's cultural. No money goes into trans this or gay, that, or any of that stuff. Right? So, this again has got the leftists, furious. Go. Doge did not exist two years ago.
Starting point is 00:06:32 19-year-olds were not raiding the treasury two years ago. People who have no idea with medical background have not been hauling in and creating kangaroo courts for scientists to dismiss them two years ago. That started happening now. So Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist. and they don't want any cuts to any spending programs. They want more spending, all right, because that's how socialists get power and keep power. Keep feeding the troth of entitlements, throwing the federal dollars into certain precincts that will vote Democratic.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That's been going on now since, I don't know, Woodrow Wilson, maybe. been going on for more than 100 years. FDR had to do what he did. I'm not making an excuse for him, but he had to get the safety nets in there to deal with the depression. But the Democratic Party is 100%. We don't want any cuts,
Starting point is 00:07:38 except if it's the Pentagon or Trump's wardrobe, something like that. Now, we want more $36 trillion debt. Let's get it up to $50. Okay, because of the capitalistic system collapses, which it will, if this spending doesn't get under control, then socialism can come right in. Capitalism, I can't have that. So this is a complicated thing that has not been presented to the American people. So Donald Trump is trying to reform, some say obliterate, I would probably agree with obliterate, leftist power.
Starting point is 00:08:18 That's what he's trying to do. And everybody needs to understand it, because that is why he is so hated. It's not like the other presidents who spoke it, oh, I don't like this, I don't like that, well, blah, blah, what, Trump's doing it. And his opposition, boy. Now the final thing in all this is DEI has already had a executive order. Diversity, equity, inclusion. Now, I wrote in a message of the day, I hope you're read it on bill o'Reilly.com. It's free. You got to go there every morning and get it. There's nothing
Starting point is 00:08:59 wrong with diversity. Diversity is a strength because different people bring different experiences and different creativity into projects.

If you're thirsting for no way aren't there yet, kids won't stop crying we brought snacks but they wanted other snacks stop pulling each other's hair and we made it 14 minutes with no screens level
Starting point is 00:09:54 refreshment we definitely have that swing by Circle K and get a pull or pop for just 79 cents only for inner circle members when you're feeling the heat Circle K makes your day all right so diversity is fine with me I run three corporate I want them to be as diverse as I can get them. But I'm not going to favor any group, skin color, or gender. I'm not because that's equity. And that's wrong. It violates the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You don't hire, promote, you don't accept into university people on the basis of what they look like even if there has been historical atrocities against those people. You don't do that because you're punishing someone else who may be better qualified. Okay. Now, the inclusion thing, I'm for that. I want everybody to have a fair shot at prosperity in America. Everybody. But equity, no. So, yesterday, Stephen A. Smith and I were on stage in front of 1,300 people, debating equity. Go. You don't correct historical problems by creating contemporary problems.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You don't correct unfairness in the past by being unfair now. All right. If you are a college, an employer, or anybody else, if you have an opportunity, and you're going to say, well, I'm not going to take the best person unless it's the right color, or they're trans, or they're this, or they're that. That's wrong. Okay, period. Wrong. May I retort? Sure. Hold on. I got them. Hold on. When you talk about DEI, you brought up race, gender, stuff like that. You glossed over the fact that I pointed out how the biggest beneficiaries were white women. My point to you, Bill O'Reilly, wait a minute, though. My point to you is this. Who's benefiting from it if you have a policy in place,
Starting point is 00:12:38 and the very people that were supposed to have an advantage because of it ain't the ones that have the advantage because of it. And that's not what you're articulating to the American public. You have now engaged in deceit. You have given the impression that if it's a black person, they were hired under DEI. If it was the Asian person, they were hired under DEI. If it's somebody other than white males, it's no impression.
Starting point is 00:13:04 That's what equity is. But equity is favoritism. But toward, look, and you should be on my side because you made it on your own. You didn't make it with equity. All right. That was, and Stephen A. and I are friends. I mean, but this is what America should be.
Starting point is 00:13:28 He wasn't mad. We had a great time. All right, that's a memo. Now we go into Donald Trump's personal vendettis. There are two huge ones. He's going after law firms that he believes colluded with the Democratic Party to punish him and his family. Three of them are Jenner and Block, Wilmer Hale, Perkins Coy. Nobody knows who those are, but they're all very powerful D.C. law firms.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And he has signed executive orders that they cannot do business with the federal government, which guts them. There was another one, Paul Weiss, that caved to try. And is now doing pro bono work on his behalf, I don't know, $20 million or something. But Trump is after these people. Second one is the press that Trump now is trying to punish the press. When you have a CNN, I watch, you have to watch these people every once in a watch it's to see where they're coming from. And it's so dishonest. MSNBC is, I think, probably worse.
Starting point is 00:14:38 and they're both doing horribly in the ratings. I think they're going to be turned off. Okay. Not only is Trump disparaging them, but he has ordered the FCC, Federal Communications Commission, Brandon Carr is the guy running it, Brendan Carr,
Starting point is 00:14:57 to investigate Disney and Comcast, Comcast is NBC, for possible DEI violations. Remember, Trump signed the order against DEI. That is federal law. And if a company violates that law, the government can punish them. Hard. So ABC at one time issued some kind of dictum that 50% of all its performers had to be minorities. Remember that? Now, I don't think they're doing that now because they're all afraid. But there is a big investigation against Comcast, which runs NBC, and Trump hates them,
Starting point is 00:15:43 and Disney, which runs ABC and Trump hates them. Bill O'Reilly here, I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you, he is laser focus on helping Americans prosper during a second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called The Rebirth. of the American dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom, how the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history, details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now, I followed Alex's
Starting point is 00:16:33 work for more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best performing stocks off our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit trumps's American dream.com. Trump's American dream.com. Joining us now with some perspective is the purveyor of the very fine website, bernardgoldberg.com. Never boring. I can say that. Website is never boring. It's got new stuff almost every day. And Goldberg is in my own. Miami living large right now as we speak. Okay, so do you oppose the FCC investigating Disney and Comcast? Okay, Donald Trump doesn't like DEI, neither do I. Donald Trump thinks the EEI disseminates too many
Starting point is 00:17:25 progressive ideas, so do why. So if Donald Trump wants and he has issues, issues, proclamations and executive orders dealing with DEI within the federal government, I'm fine with that, but not with private corporations, because private corporations like Disney have a right to do stupid things. They have a right to produce a remake of Snow White, which a lot of conservatives are calling Snow Woke, and the public weighs in by saying, I don't want to pay money to watch that That's kind of stuff. There's bombing.
Starting point is 00:18:02 But both Disney and Comcast, we should point out, do business with the government and fairly significant business. Go ahead. Shareholders have a right to weigh in and say, we don't want our company run. That's all fine with me, but not in the private sector. But if they have it, if he can find a loophole, who's going to find it? Donald Trump and conservatives want less intrusion by the federal government into a our personal and business lives, and this is more intrusion.
Starting point is 00:18:35 What about the cultural reform that Trump is very, you know, it hasn't been reported much, but he wants to change the culture. Smithsonian Institution, that's big. You're breaking up, Bill. I can't follow what you're saying, but I heard the Smithsonian Institution. Right. If he wants to deal with things that fall under the federal government, I'm okay with that. But here's the problem when you go into the private sector.
Starting point is 00:19:04 What happens if someday, and we will have another liberal president, maybe even a progressive president, who says, I think the EI is great. I want it in all my federal agencies, all of them. But you know what? That's not enough. That's not enough. I also want the EI in the private sector because it's such an important part of our culture. No, because I don't want the federal...
Starting point is 00:19:30 But that's going to happen. It's inevitable. If we get a progressive president down the road, then they'll write their own executive orders. They'll knock out all Trump's executive orders, and it'll be DEI. Hello, that's inevitable. That's what happens. You know, voters have consequences. You know, I can't read lips, and I'm not hearing what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Okay, so we lost Mr. Goldberg, unfortunately. technical problems that could not be fixed, tough world. But it didn't happen too much to us, but it is a hard world here because we're dependent on other people's systems and then our system and all of that. Just Bernie's main point was that if it's a private company, the government can intrude on DEI or anything else.
Starting point is 00:20:24 That's true. So the DEI order only handles companies that do business with the federal government or run by the federal government, like the Kennedy Center, which Trump has taken over, and the Smithsonian Institution, which the government runs, taxpayer many. Now, as far as the media is concerned, I'd do the same thing if I were Trump. So the media had beaten me to a pulp for almost 30 years. Lie every day about me. If I had the power, I punish them. Why? Because they not only do it to me, but they do it to other people with whom they disagree ideologically. I told you about, you know, confronting the presidents, which is, you know, one of the most successful books of last year, couldn't get on any of the network shows because they don't like me.
Starting point is 00:21:17 They knew the book was going to be huge. And that kind of censorship, that kind of mindset, and not only me, but the CBS Sunday morning program, which we zeroed in on, and have one non-liberal author on the whole year. That's Jane Pauley. So if I'm in power, I go after him. Well, I don't think Trump's doing anything wrong at all. Right now, at the Home Depot, you'll find storage solutions made to fit your needs.

Here's a story you've probably never heard. Legend has it decades ago. A couple surfers went down to Mexico in search of epic swells,
Starting point is 00:22:29 but they found something unexpected instead. It was still crisp, lively, and smooth, but it had nothing to do with waves. It was Pacifico, a delicious Mexican lager. It's like it was brewed to be discovered. Pacifico, find your own way. 21 plus discover responsibly. Pacifico Clara beer imported by Cron and Portrait.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Chicago, Illinois. Yes, it's personal. Personal to me. I'm a little bit more restrained. I don't have the power, obviously, that Donald Trump has. And I'm not in the business to really hurt these people personally. I don't want to hurt them. I want them to be fired. I want them out of there. Anyway, that's my point of view. So we'll rebook Bernie and try to get this technical stuff under control. Trump is mad at Putin now. I know he talks about. told you this. In the beginning, it was he's going to flatter Putin, try to get him to the peace table, to some extent it has been successful, but now Putin's dragging his feet and making all kinds of irrational demands. So, President Trump calls NBC news correspondent Kristen
Starting point is 00:23:36 Welker 10 minutes, okay, on the phone and explains a few things to Ms. Welker, who does a Sunday morning show. Here's what she said about. out the call. Go. Just hours ago, President Trump called me to tell me he is, quote, pissed off with Russia's President Putin and threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Russia's oil. Quote, if Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia's fault, which it might not be, but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Mr. Trump said 25% tariffs on Russian oil could happen any moment and told me he plans to speak with President Putin this week. So if I'm president, I do pretty much that with two other additions. If Putin isn't going to stop murdering people, because that's what he's doing. Ukraine is no threat to Russia. I mean, that's bottom line on his whole thing. Putin just wants to take it off. That's it.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You can't threaten Russia. So not only you slap tariffs on anybody buying Russian oil, but China's not going to care about that. China buys a lot of Russian oil. India buys some. India might care. But you freeze all Russian bank accounts outside of Moscow. And that means no dollars, that's what they did to Iran.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Russia can't get dollars or euros. Boy, that'll hurt him. And I would also put 10,000 NATO troops right on a Polish border with it, 10,000, including Americans. And said, look, we're tired of this. Too many people dying because of you. We're being reasonable to you. And if you're not going to be reasonable, we're going to keep those troops there with heavy arms in case you do something more. We're not letting you take over Keith. You're not going to do it. That's how you have to deal with Vlad. And I would. And it looks like Trump is heading in that direction. Very important story. And I'll be reporting on it extensively. Donald Trump says he can have a third term. Not really. That's not really what he said. Let's quote him.
Starting point is 00:26:10 But this is the NBC call. President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution on the 22nd Amendment, saying an exclusive interview with NBC News, there were methods for doing so on clarifying that he was not joking. Well, the reason that Donald Trump says stuff like that is to annoy NBC News. And I told that to Stephen A in the show. I said, Trump wants to annoy you. That's what he does.
Starting point is 00:26:45 That's why he's saying this. He knows he can't run for a third term. It's impossible. And he can say, oh, my people and somebody told me. He knows. He's a very smart man. He's got five lawyers in the White House. may know. You do it is to annoy the people who hate him.
Starting point is 00:27:11 USA is putting a big base in Japan, a war fighting headquarters, according to Defense Secretary Peake-Hagset. This is just natural. China's saber-rattling all over the place. Japan is a very strong ally of ours, so we're putting a big base there. Okay with me. I'm not going to like it, but too bad, right? I want everybody to get along. Much better for the world, much better for everybody. But if you're going to be dangerous, like Putin, she, I think, I don't think he's going to push it, but I could be wrong. Tariff week, April 2nd, two days from today, more tariffs.
Starting point is 00:27:56 stock market doesn't like it and if i said president juby i deep an eye on that that stock market crashes he's through that's it now there is no question that some foreign countries china take huge advantage of the united states they don't let our products in europe with the cars. And that's what Trump's trying to do. Even it out. You're never going to get parity because we're the most, we're the biggest economy of the wealthiest nation. We're never going to get parity. But you've got to get a better deal. But I don't know how this is going to work out. CBS Poland tariffs, all right? 2,609 American citizens. Do you favor or pose? U.S. placing new tariffs on goods imported from other countries, favor 44, opposed 56.
Starting point is 00:28:59 You know, I'm not surprised about that. People don't understand what's going on, and I'm not being supercilious. Very complex problem. Second question, do you think the Trump administration focusing too much, right amount, not enough on tariffs? Too much, 55, right amount 38, not enough, seven. Okay. It's all about the stock market. Price is coming down.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Price of eggs on Long Island down, pretty big. Oil, gas prices are coming down. So that's at least some good news. But that won't override the tariff scare. Smart life. Now, this is very important. So one of the secrets to achieving prosperity in America is having knowledge. Think about that statement.
Starting point is 00:29:51 If you want to be prosperous in this country, which is very competitive, the most competitive country on the face of the earth, okay, got to have knowledge. You've got to know things. Every day in a concierge membership from bill o'Reilly.com, I get very sad letters in people who are in desperate trouble, and they don't know what their options are. They don't know where to go. They don't know what to do, which is, and I, my team guides them. That's what we do to concierge members when you get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:30:34 But the fact that they don't know there are services available to them. If you are a senior citizen being abused, every single state has a division to help you. People don't know that. They don't know how to get in touch with them. They don't know anything. And on regular membership, okay, premium membership, the information flow that we give you on a daily basis from bill o'Reilly.com is far in a way more than you'll get from any other website in this country.
Starting point is 00:31:12 on economics, on social, what will happen, the predictions that I make. But there are many Americans, and this is where smart life comes in, who do not seek information. They don't know anything. All they do is they want to hear what they hear. They spend hours and hours and hours watching podcasts that are talking about aliens and 15 people killing JFK and hours and hours about these charlatans throwing his garbage out at you and there they are staring at it instead of learning something accumulating information I set this whole news service up with no corporate intrusion whatsoever okay so there's no
Starting point is 00:32:06 filter between me and you what I tell you no one can stop. You work at Fox, you work at NBC, you work at CNN. Those people cannot say what they want to say. And if you're on their websites over there, you're not getting what's happening. And you need to know what is happening. Because if there is a stock market crash,
Starting point is 00:32:36 you're going to get burned. It's going to come right back in you if you're laid off from your job. We signal what is happening, and we keep the people in line. Every day, President Trump knows what I say. Now, he's free to take it or leave it. This MailChimp-Ferific jingle is brought to you by MailChimp. MailChimp, Your Marketing with AI and More,

Who's an accountant who I can go to?

And finally, what website can I go to to get information every day that's true? And this is it. Smart life. White House Correspondents Association, that's the dinner people. It's done.
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's over. Okay? So they booked a comedian named Amber Ruffin. I don't know who this person is. But I do know, after researching, this person hates, despises not only Donald Trump, but anyone who supports Donald Trump. Go. Yeah, I think it's just that burns on Trump hurt badly.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And then it trickles down to everyone who is around him because y'all also guilty. So I think it just, they got their feelings hurt. But it may want that false equivalency that the media does. They want that. It feels great. It makes them feel like human beings. But they shouldn't get to feel that way because they're not. So you're not a human being if you support Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Now, that was on the Daily Beast, one of the most insubal. city as hateful websites in the history of civilization. That's where that was. The White House Correspondents Association hired that woman to do comedy at their annual dinner, which coming up in April. Why? Why would you do that? Now, they fired her, all right, because I guess there may be one or two sane people there, and they go, you can't do this, but it's over for them. It's completely over. Everybody knows that the White House Correspondents Association is a far, far-left organization. Therefore, moderates and conservatives aren't going to participate.
Starting point is 00:36:21 The day in history, March 31st, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson announces he will not seek re-election. Go. With American sons in the field far away. With America's future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world's hopes for peace and the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties. of this office, the presidency of your country.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Accordingly, I shall not seat, and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. That's because LBJ knew we would lose, just like Biden. It's exactly the same thing. Now, if you read confronting the presidents, LBJ is one of the worst presidents in American history. Corrupt man all day long. From the very beginning to the very end, he was corrupt. He was a liar. He knew the Vietnam War wasn't going to be won.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Because he, as Commander-in-Chief, wouldn't do what it takes to win that war. So he sacrificed 60,000 young Americans in a war he knew couldn't be won. So they booted him out, and then Hubert Humphrey ran against Nixon. Nixon just beat him. closest popular vote, I think, in history. And that's what happened. Johnson hung it up 57 years ago today. Awful human being, Reed confronting the president's.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I got a good clip from the three Americans show and a final thought, right back with it. Okay, so we had some fun last yesterday with the Westray Music Fair. As I told you at the top of the program, big crowd, and they all enjoyed it. So here's a sample of what happened. Go. This is a first, and I want to explain a couple of things, but first, it's a little confusion. So I'm walking in from the parking lot, and the lady behind me goes, I can't wait to see Jay and the Americans.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I go, madam, it's the three Americans. She goes, where's Jay? I think he's dead. Well, who's going to sing Caramea? Cuomo. Cuomo. Nobody tells you what to do, right? No.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Okay, and that's obvious because of the socks you're wearing. So what we're going to do, I had to wait for the right time. I got it. He's just a hater. Can I say? Just a 6-4 hater. As a journalist, and I want to get Cuomo's point on this two, when LeBron James was confronting you,
Starting point is 00:39:31 I didn't really care about it. about that too much. What I cared about was after he yelled at you, he got a groin injury and was out for two weeks. Did you notice that? Don't mess with Stephen A. Right. So I kind of slowed the tape down and I was looking, there was no physical contact there. He just, God just punished him. I think that's what it was, right? God is on my side. There you go. So we had a really good time. And I don't know where this is going to lead. It's a novel concept that you've got three guys who don't see it the same way, but who have fun in the discourse. No choir, no, you know, which has taken over, all the media now. Tell me more. Tell me what I want to hear. And I have
Starting point is 00:40:24 a great lineup of guests, all of whom agree with me. I don't know, but you, I just can't. I can't. I, you know, give me something. So anyway, we all met, we all had a good time. And I got some plans for the three Americans. I don't know in this. See, as I told you earlier, I don't have to deal with corporations anymore.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But to distribute something like the three Americans, I did that. That was my production company that did that, so I didn't have to deal with anybody. But to distribute it around the country, then I have to deal with corporations. Now, I can do it, but, oh, boy, you know. But I think it's worth a try. It's worth a try.
