Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, July 8, 2006, stand up for your country. President Trump was standing up in Turkey for the NATO meeting. This is my favorite quote from the meeting. There was a lot of love in the room. Okay. I'm a little skeptical about that, but that's what he said. Is it true? the subject of this evening's talking points memo. First point. So the president says that the ceasefire with Iran is over. Why? Because Iran violated central condition of the June memorandum of understanding. All right. For God knows what reason, Iran attacked three commercial vessels over the weekend, July 6th and July 7th. The U.S. 5th Naval Base in Bahrain was attacked by Iran. The Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, where we have troops, attacked. And a U.S. Reber drone, which Iranian forces shot down.

Now, the president's threatening the bomb Iran tonight. Nobody knows what's going to happen because these threats come and they go, but this has got to stop. And I don't see any other way but military to stop it. And I made a mistake with the Iraq situation, and that haunts me to this day. And the reason I made that mistake is that I didn't fully understand the facts of the matter. I was taking reporting

from the New York Times and others that said Saddam Hussein was harboring deadly weapons. Okay? And I said if that's true in the press because the Times hated Bush the younger and Colin Powell, Secretary of State of the time, confirms it, then I got to go with that.

Turned out to be wrong. wrong. So I didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, and the chaos that ensued for a lot of pain on America. I was wrong. Okay. There's a reason I was wrong, but that still haunts me. In Iran, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see any other way here. I don't see any other way. You're going to have to just blast their infrastructure and make it almost impossible for the Persians to exist day to day. You have to blow up all their facilities, all their power, all that. Because they're just not. There's no reason why Iran would attack anybody after signing this memorandum. They don't want the war to stop. They being the Revolutionary Guard,

which controls what happens in Iran. The Mullins don't control that. The paramilitary Revolutionary Guard control. Okay. So I predicted that President Trump would have to do this on June 10th. Go. Now, I don't have any inside information, but I believe Iran's going to get hit militarily very soon. President Trump has to re-ignite his momentum.

And the Muellers are just not cooperating. I don't think it will cooperate until the pain level gets very, very high. All right. So there's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it. The other big thing, there were two other big things at the NATO conference, which Trump didn't want to go to, by the way. But he went, because of Aragon, the president of Turkey's helped him out, okay? and he went over.

The other two were congratulating NATO on finally, finally, paying their dues as far as military expenditures are concerned. Finally, remember, if you know anything about World War II, we rebuilt Europe, the Marshall Plan. And all we've gotten from them is scorn laziness and corruption. That's the truth. So anyway, Trump gave them their props, but the NATO people are more interested in Ukraine than they are in Iran. Okay? So the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rucci, said this. You have a very good relationship with President Trump.

you've been credited as sort of being the Trump whisperer on behalf of this alliance. You're shaking your head. The point is this. I just like the man. I think what he is doing for NATO is great news. Because yes, the Russian threat, there is Ukraine. So we had to step up in Europe anyway. But he was what was necessary to bring this extra impetus to the debate to really get all these nations on the famous old 2%.

And now to agree to the 5%. And as I said yesterday in the pre-conference presser, Canada and Europe, Canada and Europe, are now already at almost 4% when it comes to defense spending. So in one year, on this trajectory to 5% in 2035, we reached the 4% in 2026. Well, that makes sense, right? I mean, if Putin's a threat, and he is, that you have to have enough money to buy munitions. And President Trump was touting that they'll all be sold by the USA to NATO.

Okay, and the other thing is that Spain is the NATO country who will not cooperate. So Trump said this, and I don't know whether he'll carry through on it or not, that he's going to ban all trade with Spain. That includes going there. So if you're an American and you want to travel to Spain, you might have some visa problems there. just a forewarning because I know somebody who had planned a trip to Spain

and I'm going that's a 50-50 now so if the President of the United States puts a ban on travel to Spain and you go you might now be coming back anytime soon and Spain isn't paying its dues

and is obnoxious and wouldn't let U.S. planes refuel on his surf, that's what caused the Maloney thing in Italy. And Maloney handled it poorly, so did Trump. They both did. Maloney, you should apologize and said, we made a mistake.

And now we're going to help you no matter how. That's how you solve this kind of thing. And Trump would have forgiven her. Okay. So the other headlines from this meeting, and Trump's on his way back now, to the USA, is that for the first time,

the president is going to help Zelensky in Ukraine with heavy weapons. Go. One of the things I think we're going to be talking about today, just a little birdie told me this, about the fact that we'll give them the right to make patriots. We'll show them how to do it. It's very complex, actually. But it's, you'll figure out the complexity quickly.

Okay. And then the final thing was a mistake. He brings up Greenland again, the president does. We take the win. Take the win. Greenland we can deal with later. It is important and it should be discussed. But I am 100% sure that the United States can make a deal with Denmark, which of course administers to that place. but why do that now? NATO doesn't like you anyway, but they're kind of lean in our way in our direction. Leave Greenland a couple of weeks down. My opinion, if I'm White House chief of staff,

and of course, Trump's going to listen to me, but that's that. And that's the memo. All right. A central part of President Trump's remarks today were directed at the homeland, us, we the people. He's already been in campaign mode. And what the president has decided to do is link the Democratic Party with communism. And he made two fairly explicit statements about that in the NATO meeting.

Now, NATO doesn't care about that. All right. NATO, probably a lot of them would like to see Trump out. But this message was going to the American voter. Roll it. I want to get the word out because what's forming is communism in the country. Communism's easy to sell. I would be the greatest communist in history. I'd be right up there with Lenin. I'd be as good as anybody. You've got free rent for the rest of your life. What they don't say is that you'll be living in squalor in 12 months.

You've got the free house. Would anybody like to have a free house? We'll take it away from somebody. We'll give it to you. You'll have murders all over the place. Communism's a disaster. It's been proven to be for thousands of years under different names, but same thing. It's very important.

And you know, it's funny. One of the reasons I do so well with Hispanic people, I set a record republic, because I get great numbers for the election, help me get elected in a landslide. the Hispanics, because a lot of them came from countries that were essentially communist. You know, whether you call them radical socialist or communist is not that much, but there's a little

difference. The world is getting more unstable between escalating global conflicts and America's skyrocketing debt. Investors are ditching the dollar for hard assets, like gold. With uncertainty at an all-time high, I trust American hard. Hartford gold to protect my savings. They make it simple to have physical gold and silver delivered to your door or place inside a tax advantage IRA. If you have a 401k, their specialists can help you roll it over tax and penalty free. With an A-plus, better Business Bureau rating and billions

delivered. Their track record is unmatched. So don't wait. protect your wealth with something real. And right now, call and tell them O'Reilly sent you to receive up to $20,000 in free silver with your first purchase. 866-326-5526 or text bill to 998899. That's 866 326, 5276, or text bill to 998899. All right, so the signal is out. Republican Party going to link the Democratic Party to the Communist Movement. Democratic Party doesn't have, what are they going to do? So far they haven't repudiated it at all.

So that's a factor along with gas and food and all that. but this is rising. So you know. Might work. That strategy might work. But again, people are interested in their own situations. They don't know any communists in Tulsa.

They do know they're paying more for food and gas. So it's a tough one to predict. The IOC, that is the International O. Olympic Committee. They say now in the 2008 summer games held in Los Angeles, that could be a disaster, because Los Angeles is just tottering,

that Russia will be allowed to compete. Huge mistake. Why? Why? Putin's tearing apart, an innocent country, he's killing, murdering civilians, at a rate that just puts him in the atrocity Hall of Fame. And we're going to let the Russians come to L.A. to participate?

For what reason? So the IOC, which is run by a bunch of morons, they say that I'm not going to use a full screen on this. I'm just going to encapsulate us too long. We wanted to ensure all athletes of the possibility to compete at the Olympic Games not be held responsible for their goals. government's actions. Sorry, when their government's actions may cause World War III, you hold them accountable. You isolate them. Putin should be isolated, and so should every

Russian athlete. Not the Russian athletes' fault, but they are part of that country. It's awful. New York City, ma'am Donnie. So the Success Academy Charter School, 60 schools all over the country, and they chronicle how the students, not only in the charter schools, but all over the city,

410,000 public school students, 43% of them go to failing schools. 43%. Okay, the report says that roughly 35% of all New York City students were chronically absent in the 23-24 school year.

That's on the parents. Parents don't make them go to school and they run around, they don't go in. So of course they're going to be idiots. Of course, they're not going to know anything. All right? Now, what does the city do? Zero.

Nothing. Okay, because they're victims. You got to understand. To Mandani, these kids are victims. They don't have to learn anything. In fact, he doesn't want him to learn anything because then they figure him out. But they're victims. You don't have to go to school.

This is unbelievable. So these kids, grades 3 to 8, are adrift. They're not showing up. There are kids now in public schools who refuse to take exams. It's not taking them. And then they promote them. Social promotion. The city does.

So you can see, you know, my point is that most Americans know nothing or very little about their own country as getting worse. The joint name is Alvin, Innih, he is a national president of courage as a habit. So that's an organization that equips parents to at least deal with the collapse of the public school system in America. Not everywhere. I mean, there's some very fine public schools, but a lot of places like the big urban areas. All right, Mr. Louis, thanks for helping us out here. And I have a book coming out, September 15, called Confronting America, where I'm simpatico with you. So I'm saying, look, derelict parents, parents who don't give a hoot about their kids,

combined with ideological teachers, teachers' unions, okay, we're shoving down, you're a victim, you're a victim, you don't have to take attention, you don't even have to show up, that combination is almost lethal to the future of the country. What say you? It absolutely is. It's a personal honor to meet you, sir. Thank you for having me on. Sure.

You're absolutely correct. As my co-founder often would say, that education in the United States is the greatest national security that we face. Because you see a lot of parents still believe we start with the wrong premise. A lot of parents and a lot of Americans still believe that government K through 12 is about academics, meaning your basic reading, writing, math. And so when you see students marching to protect violent illegal aliens like we do, that we did earlier in 2020, What do people say, Bill? I can't believe it. Why are they doing this?

Why aren't they in class? Why are they marching to protect violent illegal aliens? Well, our response is they're marching to protect violent illegal aliens because they were in class. Because the purpose of government K-12 is to create social justice activists. It is to create angry young people. And as you often say, you just said it yesterday in your bonus video where you say that the Mandami and the socialist, Democrat socialist, is to kill hope. Well, they don't have to kill hope because they kill them in K through 12 because they're telling kids that your skin color

matters and there's genocide for trans people and all those different things. And so you're not telling them at 25. You're telling them at 5. And so when they get older in voting age, socialism sounds great because they have no hope. They're angry. They believe that America's racist and oppressive. And so that combination, like you said, is very lethal because what you're doing is this is not an intellectual brainwashing bill. This is an emotional discipleship. Yeah. And they're not training kids in the academics. There's no offshoot to it. So you can't go home to dad and mom and dad and mom go hold it. You know, this isn't really the way it is because it's a combination. Now, do you believe that the teachers across the United

States, I mean, you got some in the union, you got some not? How pervasive is the victimization they're trying to sell the public school students. You don't get this in private school. I went to Catholic school. You don't get, you're a victim, you're never going to succeed. That doesn't exist, okay? But in a public school, it exists. How pervasive is that point of view, and how did it get that way?

Well, actually, today, it is in a lot of the private schools as well. So you are not safe at all. We've actually done a lot of projects for private schools, both in Texas and Florida, and we found it equally as it was in the public schools. The pervasiveness is systemic. It's not in some school. It's in all school.

It's the system. Whether you're talking about the teachers unions, the teachers colleges, and even more underlining that people don't see undercover is the mental health. Anytime you hear mental health, that is the big Trojan horse to bring all these things in,

the schools, and the schools spend hundreds of millions of dollars on mental health. So it's absolutely pervasive, it's systemic. It is the entire purpose of the system. So when you see these children marching against illegal aliens, when you see these children being so broken, talking about, you know, tax to rich and all those different things,

climate changeism, when you see that, that is the purpose of it. And so when people are shocked and going, how come the academics are down, how come our budget is sky high, what are they doing with the money? Well, that's what they're doing with the money. They're teaching your children to hate America. And my favorite quote from Abraham Lincoln is, the philosophy of the schoolhouse in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. And so when President Trump talked about it, you know, at NATO when he says that it's more dangerous than let's say Pearl Harbor or World War II, World War I, he's absolutely right because those are physical attacks.

Those are attacks that you can see and you can beat. What we're seeing in government K-12 today, Bill, is actually in the heart and in the mind and you can't see it until it's too late because they're not brand. brainwashing children in terms of intellectually, but they're changing their values. And it's like a religion. And once you change a child's values, it's very, very difficult to get them out even when you show them facts. I was a high school teacher. You may know that for a couple of years. And, of course, there's a different world back then.

But most of the teachers at the Catholic school that I taught in weren't radical left. They weren't anything. They didn't bring that in. They just taught their discipline, and then they went home. So I'm wondering from a historical basis how the teacher's industry, okay, and these people sacrifice. Teachers could make more money doing something else

in the private sector. Most of them could, okay? But they choose to try to do some good, I think, in helping kids in the classroom. But now it's like a tsunami. It's like every time you look at, around, whether it's Harvard or Princeton or Columbia or this college or that college is full of these progressives who are teaching victimization. How did that happen? Well, there was really two

major areas. When it came to government K-12, it really started in the Obama administration when he changed the way the competencies were measured. Before you're measuring math and science and your core competencies. But during his administration, he weaponized the department of education to measure emotions. And how do you measure emotions? You got to take surveys.

And that's when social emotional learning came into schools. Not to say that before the Obama administration that there wasn't this kind of indoctrination happening. It was. But his administration put grant money on the strings on the grant money. And so that's what made it so pervasive

so that even in the red county, in a red state, you're going to see the exact same critical race theory and queer theory. So that's how it got into the K through 12. Was there a litmus test, though, that the Obama administration put out to get the grant money in a stealth way that, hey, unless you tow the liberal line, you're not going to get any funds? Did that happen? No, it's a lot more sneaky than that, and we hear it all the time today. it's always dangling poor kids, black kids, brown kids in front of you.

And it's always about helping those kids. And it's always emotional blackmail, kindness, inclusion, welcoming schools, social emotional learning. Those things sound great. And if you're a teacher, if you're an educator, not the woke educator, but just you're a good educator, those things kind of tug at your heartstrings. It really, really does. And it still does today. And so a lot of that came in through that be kind, anti-bullying.

the anti-bullying, you know, that we classically know going to school because that was just about not shoving a kid in the locker room and not making fun of their shoes. Today, if you're a girl that don't want a boy in a locker room or your bathrooms or your showers, you're the bully. And so they've done something what we call it, courage as a habit. We call it language contamination. And this is real easy for us to teach it. Language contamination is when they use your vocabulary but not your dictionary. And so when the Obama administration came in, they didn't come in and say, hey, we're going to go ahead and survey your kids and manipulate the data so we can shove in socialism and communism and teach your kids to hate America.

Of course, they didn't show it that way. They said, we just want to help kids learn because if their mental health isn't good, then they can't learn. I got it. It sounds great. I got it. Obviously, mental health means something very different to them. Well, Mr. Louis, very good. I learned a bunch and during this interview about the overall evolution of this,

which I believe, you know, when you combine with the parents who don't give a hoot, it's really devastating. It's hard to come back from that, particularly if you go through the system and the system gets more and more radicalized as you get older. Very hard to come back from it. We appreciate it very much. We'll talk soon. Thanks for helping us out. All right. Half of Americans is going to be a big thing, of course, in November, are struggling to afford groceries and gasoline for their cars. Now, I'm combining this hard news story with a smart life.

Combining the two tonight. Okay, this is a Harris poll, and it's 4,100 U.S. adults. 95% believe USA is experiencing an affordability crisis, okay, that people's wages are not enough to provide essentials. That's affordability. Okay. The left pounds and pounds and pounds this. That's their main issue in November, affordability.

And Trump's not doing anything about affordability, and that Republicans are mean, and they don't care about it. You know what it is. Okay, 57% according to Harris, say the overall economy is getting worse than better. That's not a good number for Republicans. There's no doubt about that. And 54% of independent voters, which Republicans are going to need,

say neither political party has a solution. Now, that's not a bad number for the GOP, because that means that Democrats, they don't have anything, which is true. Okay. Now, I went on News Nation last night, Leland Vittert, and I'm on there again tonight with Cuomo. Now, Vitterd is not an ideologue. He's a reporter. Chris Cuomo is a liberal man. And so there's a difference in their presentations. Now, I got some heat in social media because I said, well, if you don't have enough money to buy

groceries or to cover a thousand dollar emergency that you might have. Whose fault is that? Is that Trump's fault? Part of the Treasury's fault? Whose fault is that? It's your fault. If you don't have enough reserve to keep yourself afloat in hard times, it's your fault. So, Lee Lynn, and he picked up a good point, because this is all over social media, He asked me about it. Go. A lot of Americans think cash is an issue right now. Cuomo pointed out 95% of Americans, 95% say affordability is an issue.

Here's you on the no-spin news soundbite number three. My portfolio is doing great because Trump is his policies appeal to the big companies. But 40% of Americans don't participate in capital. and a lot of them are yowling about high prices, come on. You get 4% inflation here. Live in the real world. So you younger people, you got to get into the stock market. That doesn't sound exactly in touch with the folks I know, Bill.

Kind of sounds like what Joe Biden used to say. What Donald Trump now says is, hey, don't worry about affordability. Don't worry about prices. Stock market's doing great. Eat cake. Not, look, just because the stock market is doing great doesn't mean you don't worry about high insurance premiums. You can, you know, worry about them. But my point is, ever since I was working at Scranton, Pennsylvania, as a young reporter, I put away 10% of my money.

Okay? If I had to suffer, I suffered. And I put away 10% and then I got a stockbroker. and he invested in very conservative companies and the standard and pores and all of that. And now Trump has set that on a skyrocket. So you have to participate in the capitalistic system or you're going to go down. That's the point. And the younger people don't get it.

Okay? So 58%, again, according to the state, Gallup of American adults have stocks or bonds, okay? But the rest don't. So what are they going to do when they get fired? Or when they have a bill they're not expecting or malady? What are they going to do? They don't have any money.

Now the Democratic Party is they're not your fault that you don't have any money. That's the government's fault. It's Trump's fault. This is Bernie Sanders. This was the communist push. No, no, no. Not your personal fault. This is insane. So if I'm a poor person, there are options not to be poor. So I saved 10%. That was not easy making 150 bucks a week in the 1970s. But my father always said 10%. right in and we'll invest the money and the money will grow affording you protection. That was his guidance,

and one of the few times I took it. Now, you're poor, you can go to community college. It's free. You can go and develop your skills online, plenty of jobs there. You can drive an Uber. you can make some pretty good money driving a car

and you can save that money and then you can build up to protect yourself. It's not taught. It's not taught at all. No, the government owes you no, no, no, no, no. And Trump does it too. We're going to send you a check. We're going to send you a check. We're going to say

a big, beautiful bill, now they have the savings account. Which I don't mind. Don't bother me. I don't want people to be poor, but if you think that's not going to make them poor, you're crazy. So many, many Americans are simply too lazy to do what they have to do to prosper in a capitalist society. There are demands. They're too lazy. Some of them are too stupid, but most of them aren't.

And so that was my point. Now, I'm going to be on Cuomo again tonight, and he's going to hit the affordability thing. I'm going to hit him with the same thing. I'm going to say, listen, it's your fault. No, my fault that you're poor. I mean, if you talk to me for 10 minutes, I'll have a whole thing laid out where you can improve your circumstance in a year.

A whole thing. That's why we have concierge membership on bill o'Reilly.com. Affordability? What do you want? Want the government to price everything? Yeah, that's what the commies want. Jet fuel.

Now, this is a downside of capitalism. So jet fuel prices are down 40% from their peak in the beginning of the Iran conflict. 40%. No fair drops. In fact, fair prices in American Airlines, not American v. American Airlines, but all of them across the board are eight times they have raised their prices. Are they kicking them back now? No. Not kicking them back. Nope. Because they know people have patted. Now that's the bad side of capitalism. Exploitation. Okay. Let's seek a quick break and then we'll be back with a final thought.

All right. Final thought of the day. As you know, we are taken over, not taken over, but doing very well on YouTube. and we respect YouTube for the freedom that allows Americans to hear and see things. So we'll do it live as our long form, and we do one a week. Glenn Beck, big success. I'm, you know, back brought in the viewers. And then tomorrow we're going to throw Gillian Michaels up there. Now, Jillian Michael is an interesting character. entrepreneur, goes against the showbiz grain, independent thinker, and waiting you hear where she lives now.

I was surprised. I had no idea. So she'll go up tomorrow. And again, this few-two-step is free. But you can easily get it on bill o'Reilly.com. We just, like, at her menu. Boom. But we're happy that Beck and Jillian cooperated with us.

I think they were worthy for the long form. And I hope you will watch beginning tomorrow, noon for premium and concierge members, six for everyone else on the planet. Thank you for watching and listening this evening to the no spin news. We're closely following the Iran situation. We'll have updates as they happen. And then I'll have a brand new Sunday column.
