Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, April 29th, 2025, stand up for your country. So 100 days of the second Trump administration, difficult to cover, so many incompletes, a lot of false reporting. It's not new, and I know why you're here because we do not do that. And we lay it out to you in a fact-based way without any ideology or grudges or anything like that. Okay? And it's important for you, your family, your friends, that you know what's going on because

it involves your money, it involves your lifestyle, it involves the future. So today we're going to methodically work down why President Trump is doing certain things. And they're not always working, like Canada. Canada did not turn out well for Donald Trump. And I knew that would happen, but I'll explain it when we get to that segment. The Talking Points memo is about the new executive orders on immigration signed yesterday. So right now, 100 days, President Trump has signed 140 executive orders. That's a record.

No president has ever signed even close to that in his first 100 days. The latest was signed 5 p.m. yesterday. It's the Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens Order. Here's what it says, quote, the order directs the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish Alyssa states and local jurisdictions obstructing federal immigration law enforcement and notify each sanctuary jurisdiction of its non-compliance providing an opportunity to correct it. Sanctuary jurisdictions that do not comply with federal law may lose federal funding. Remember, an executive order is federal law. Okay. So I recommended years ago that this

happened because you can't have anarchy on the state and local government saying to the federal government, hey, blank you. Okay, we're not enforcing this law, we don't like that law, we're going to do what you want. But that's what they did in the South, all right, before the Civil War. That's what led to the war. So it's the federal government has the ultimate power in law. Now, the sanctuary situation is rejected by Republicans. and MAGA people and those who support Donald Trump. Okay, they say it shouldn't be any sanctuaries at all. But the other side, the Democrats, largely favor sanctuary cities.

And I'll back that up. I say, it wasn't one scrutinized by the Biden administration, not one. Okay. So here was the reaction. A guy named Jorge Majoka. He is with the Arise Chicago outfit. Here's what Jorge said. Go. The federal government cannot mandate a local police department

to do anything or to not do anything. The city of Chicago is a municipality completely free to decide what exactly their police does. So I don't think we have to pay a whole lot more attention to this kind of crazy. the executive orders all right well Jorge doesn't know what he's talking about so the federal government gives Chicago money to help the local police all right in a whole variety of ways they're called block grants I'm gonna stop them okay so

Chicago already broke there's gonna be more broke because it is not obeying federal law that's how it works And it's, you know, we got state of Maine, and we'll get to that, and the state of Minnesota defying the trans order. And, yeah, you can do that. You can take it to court. You'll lose, ultimately. But in the meantime, you ain't going to get any money.

Now, the strangest analysis of this new executive order that I heard was from Michelle Obama, who has a new podcast. All right. She's tying the sanctuary city controversy into racism. Go. So my fears are for what I know is happening out there in streets all over the city. And now that we have leadership that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs and who doesn't. And we know that those decisions aren't being made with courts and with due process and, you know, that it's being made like the

cop that pulled my brother over when he was 12, you don't look like somebody that belongs. You know, I can determine just by looking at you that you're, you know, you're a good person or you're not a good person. And knowing that there's so much bias and so much racism and so much ignorance that fuels those kind of choices. I don't understand what the first lady is saying because she says, that those decisions aren't made with the courts and with due process. The immigration law is passed by Congress, and was signed into law by a president. And the people who are sneaking into the country are applying for asylum outside of what the law says,

ports of entry, they violated immigration law. So what are you talking about? These decisions are made with courts and due process. Of course, they're made that way. We have a structure here. We have laws here. We have laws about criminal activity. We have laws about immigration.

We have laws about finance. We have laws about taxes. I don't get this. I don't see this as a racist thing at all. This is you either obey the law or you don't obey the law. And obviously, the sanctuary cities are not obeying the law. So the President of the United States, the chief law enforcement officer, has a perfect right to go after them. But somehow Michelle Obama doesn't get that.

I don't know what it is. She's a brilliant woman. I don't know what it is. Bubble, I guess, living in a bubble. In addition, the President Trump has revoked 4,000 foreign student visas. 90% of them have committed criminal acts. arson, human trafficking, child abuse, DUI robbery, 500 of the 4,000 had to assault records. So again, I mean, if you're here at the largesse of the United States to study and you commit a crime,

come on, you're out of here. But, you know, the Democrats have, they have, there's no interest at all in any of them. this. And I'm making it a political issue. I don't want to. But that's the opposition. Aren't any Republicans that are opposed to this? So finally, the whole immigration issue was working for Donald Trump big time until the tariffs. And that is overshadowed immigration now because you're messing with people's money directly. And that's why you saw the poll numbers go down as we reported yesterday. And that's the memo. All right, Donald Trump is going to Michigan tonight, McComb Community College, Warren, Michigan, 20 miles north of Detroit for a rally of 6 p.m.

We will cover somewhat the rally tomorrow. I know what he's going to say. 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.

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. And it'll be interesting on Wednesday night to hear me interview Donald Trump.

Because I don't even know what I'm going to ask him yet. Things happen so fast. But it won't be a rally. So that'll be on News Nation. You know all about it. I hope by this point, two hours, the president kicks off the town hall. And it will be something. That's for sure.

Now to Canada, the liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney takes over now. He was well behind the conservative candidate a few months ago, but once Donald Trump said he wanted Canada to be the 51st state, Canadians don't want that. And the conservative candidate was a friend to Trump, so he's done. So Donald Trump basically, through the election to the liberal prime minister, Mark Karni, And here's what Carney said. Go. Humility is also about recognizing that one of the responsibilities of government is to prepare for the worst, not hope for the best. As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country.

Never. But these are not, these are not idle threats. idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, that will never ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed. All right, so I never knew why Donald Trump did this. Did the 51st state deal. And I said that to him. I said that to him in person. I said, this is not going to work out well. Canadians don't want to be part of the United States. And this is the proof. Now, does it matter? I still think Canada will sign a trade deal with the USA that's better for us

because Canada needs our marketplace. We don't need Canada's marketplace. We don't need it. They need us. So I think Carney is going to have to, you know, he's blustering now, but he's going to have to come to the table and sign a deal. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. Also, intense negotiations continue over Ukraine and Iran nukes. In Gaza, Israel, that's not going to happen anytime soon because Netanyahu, the president of Israel, doesn't want it to happen. He wants to wipe out Hamas. so once you have is the leader of israel not really wanting to have a deal it takes you know it's very very hard to get one so joining his now from washington is dr charles

cup chum he is a professor at georgetown university an expert in foreign relations um he's been everywhere knows everything he wrote a book isolationism a history of america's efforts to shield itself from the world First of all, Doctor, it's very nice to see you. Thank you for helping us out. Did I make any mistakes in my run-up to introducing you? No, I, you know, I think you got it about right. The one comment I would make about Trump in Canada,

having written a book about isolationism, is that we've been here before. You know, we tried repeatedly in the 19th century to either invade Canada or by Canada from the British, and it failed. And Trump, I think, is looking at a mat. He's a real estate mogul. He sees good property up there across our northern border. And he says, I like that. But I completely agree with you that it's backfired. It's turned Canadians into a people that want to stand up to Trump. And in many respects,

as you put it, it led to the win of Mark Carney and the Liberal Party when the conservatives were actually set to win this election. And Trump undercut him. But I don't think Trump cares about internal politics in Ottawa. What he wants is a better trade deal. And I think that's going to happen, even with Carney in office. I think that's likely. You know, I think the rollout of these tariffs has been chaotic. By the time you and I finished this conversation, policy on Canada, policy on China policy and on Mexico may have changed. And that's because the initial rollout it didn't go over very well, right? We're looking at a possible trade war. We're looking at a huge hit to the American car industry because parts and cars get passed back and forth across

that northern border multiple times as they're being constructed. And so, yeah, I think Trump is getting a lot of negative feedback. The poll numbers are going down. The bond numbers are going down. The bond market crashed, the stock market crashed, he's now recalibrated. So I basically agree with you that we're likely to see trade deals with Canada and perhaps with a whole bunch of other countries. I think that'll happen, but it better happen fairly quickly because once a president gets on the wrong side of the American people, it takes a while I get back on the right side. Now there was a picture at the Pope's funeral of Trump and Zelensky.

together, close together in the Vatican. And I continue to believe that there is a good chance that this Ukraine thing will calm down. How do you see it? You know, Trump is doing the right thing by reaching out to Putin. This is not a war that Ukraine is going to win on the battlefield. field. And I think Biden made a mistake in not having a strategic dialogue with the Russians to try to end the war. And so I think the proposal on the table right now has some real strengths. And one of them is ceasefire in place. The other is that the 20 percent of Ukraine that is occupied by Russia will for now stay in Russian hands. That's just the way it is. That's just a recognition in reality. I think what we need to see Trump do now is get behind the Ukrainians to ensure

that the 80% of Ukraine that is still free, still controlled by Zelensky in Kiev, emerges as a success story. And that's going to take a lot of American support as well as Trump saying to Putin, hands off. If we end this war, you need to keep your hands off the rest of Ukraine and allow it to prosper as a democracy that's anchored in Europe? Well, that's why they have the mineral deal, because they'll send in U.S. personnel to mine the minerals, and they don't have to provide security. And that deal comes along with the Ukraine ceasefire. Iran. So the Iranians continue to, I don't know what their goal is, because in the next three years plus, Donald Trump's never going to let them progress any further

on nuclear weapons. And he'll give the green light for the Israelis who just take out their ports, just blow them up. And the mullahs know that, so I expect there'll be some deal there. You know, I think that's probably the case. If I look at the various conflicts and negotiations that Trump either, is proceeding with or has U.S. Russia, U.S. China, U.S. North Korea, U.S. Iran. Iran, in some ways, may be the one that's easiest to bring across the finish line. And that's because Iran is as weak today as it's been in decades.

And that's simply because Israel has taken down Hamas, taken down Hezbollah, the Syrian regime that was in cahoots with Iran has collapsed. The Houthis are getting hit by the United States, and the Israelis have demonstrated to Iran that they can take out their air defenses at will. So in some ways, Iran is standing there with its pants down, and I think that puts Iran in a position in which a deal is more likely than not, where like three rounds, the fourth round of negotiations is scheduled for this weekend in Oman. The experts are at the table. We're not there yet, but I think there's a good chance we'll get a deal. Yeah, I mean,

that's what these polls don't reflect is that a lot of things, both economically and overseas, are going to change. We don't know when. Finally, China is the most difficult problem for the United States because she and the Chinese government don't care what happens to their people. So if they have to suffer for two years, three years, because their markets are soft and their exports drop dramatically, then it's tough.

These people are going to suffer, and they can't do anything about it because it's a totalitarian state. So Trump doesn't have much leverage there over Xi, or am I missing something? You know, in some ways I think Trump and Xi are in similar positions. They're both strong. will, they're both playing to the nationalist crowd at home. And they both face the situation

in which if these tariffs stick, we're talking like 145 percent, if they stick, our populations, the Chinese population are going to suffer. Folks are going to go to Home Depot and Walmart and Lowe's and they're going to see prices go through the roof. And so I think the fact that both Trump and she want to be political successes, they don't want to blow up the global economy, they don't want to lose popular support, that would suggest to me that there is some trade space here. And in the end of the day, I think Trump is more of a transactional president than he is an ideological one. I don't know who's going to blink first. But I do think, or I hope that we get some movement on the trade front. Because if these tariffs stick, Americans are going to suffer,

Chinese are going to suffer, and it risks blowing up the global economy. Well, if we get deals with India and Japan and the EU on trade within the next month, China is going to be under tremendous pressure. So that's the thinking I know that to be true. Doctor, thanks very much. I would underestimate the difficulty. A normal trade deal takes months, if not years. Trump says 90 days. Right. His team has a lot of hard work to do in the days and weeks ahead. Okay. Dr. Thanks very much. We appreciate it. Now let's go to media madness. So there is a negotiation underway between Donald Trump, which is sued, who has sued, a CBS News for like

$50 billion, whatever, it's a crazy thing. All right. And the lawsuit is that Trump alleges that CBS News helped Kamala Harris in the campaign. That's a 60 Minutes thing that was edited in a different way. I do believe that 60 Minutes did try to help Kamala Harris. From what, you know, just the facts that I've seen, I believe they did. But I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. Anyway, CBS is owned by Paramount, all right, the big Hollywood outfit. And Paramount wants to sell CBS.

to an outfit is called Sky Dance. All right? Now, Sky Dance is run by Larry Ellison's son. 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, newsmakers, 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. Skydance is a much more conservative outfit than Paramount CBS. So it's good for Trump if Paramount sells to SkyDans. In the meantime, though, there's all this angst. Now, Trump despises CBS because of Leslie Stahl.

And in an interview on October 25th, 2020, way back, way back, this is the tipping point for CBS News. Go. I wish you would interview Joe Biden like you interview me. It would be so good. You know what? You like this, I thought. I thought you liked spars. I don't mind it.

I don't mind it. But when I watch him walk out of a store and he's walking with an ice cream. And the question the media asked him, what kind of ice cream? What flavor ice cream do you have? And he's in the midst of a scandal. He's not. And he's taking. Of course he is, Leslie.

Come on. Of course he is. It's the biggest, second biggest scandal. The biggest scandal was when they spied him my campaign. They spied him my campaign, Leslie. Well, there's no real evidence of that. Of course there is. It's all over the place. Leslie, they spied on my campaign and they got caught.

Can I say something? You know, this is 60 minutes, and we can't put on things we can't verify. You won't put it on because it's bad for Biden. We can't put on things we can't verify. Leslie, they spy to my campaign. Well, we can't verify that. It's been totally verified. No.

Yeah, it has. And Leslie's law should have known that the Russian collusion fraud, which was actively being investigated that, was zeroing in on the phony FISA warrants that were signed by FBI people to give the power to surveil Trump's campaign to the FBI. You remember all this? Maybe you don't because it's confusing. So an FBI lawyer named Kevin Klein-Smith was convicted of giving false information of federal judges to get the phony FISA warrants so the FBI could spy on the Trump election campaign. That's a fact.

And the fact that Leslie Stahl had no idea that this was in play is stunning. Now, she could have said it was not been fully. adjudicated yet, but to deny the reality of what was happening, and Trump just went through the roof and never, ever forgot that. And remember, that was only a week or a little more than a week before the vote. That's 60 minutes piece. So that is a genesis of it all. I do believe that CBS, Paramount, will have to pay Trump, you know, 15, 20 million, just like Stepanopoulos, ABC had to pay him, and that money will be used for his library, and I think that deal will come soon, and then Trump will okay the sale to skydance. That's what I think is going to happen

there. And then there's Chuck Todd. I don't pay attention to guys like Chuck Todd very much, but this is a good story. So we ran yesterday a clip of an Axiore. reporter at the correspondence dinner in Washington on Saturday, scolding his peers for failing to cover Joe Biden's decline, which they absolutely did. It was totally one of the worst things in American history as far as the press is concerned. Well, Chuck Todd gets on YouTube where we are, too, okay, and says this. Go.

This is not a media failure. This is a failure of the Democratic Party. And I just sort of the virtue signaling that some people have done to try to say that the media missed this story. They didn't miss this story. David Ignatius wrote, I just refused to accept this stupid premise because it's a right wing manufactured right wing premise in order to sustain the media. That's insane. They didn't ignore the story. Of course they ignored the story.

The corporate media was behind the Trump administration. administration, the Biden administration, until the debate. And then they jumped right into the Kamala Harris campaign to try to boost that. And they never pointed any fingers at the Biden people for faking that Joe Biden was a competent president, which he was not. So to say that this was a manufactured right-wing premise, I just, your mouth opens. It's almost like Michelle Obama saying that the immigration executive order is racist. But this is what's happening in this country.

Smart life. So part of being smart is being healthy, keeping yourself in good shape, so you don't have to suffer from maladies, from illness. and you don't die early. Well, there is a study, eight nations, including the USA and the UK, that high consumption of processed foods will kill you early and lead to bad things. This was published in the American Journal

of Preventive Medicine. Okay, so I'm going to cut through all a baloney, and I'm going to put on a full screen and read to everybody listening on the radio. Here are the foods that can shorten your life. Ready? Ultra-processed foods, cakes, pastries, biscuits, crisps, I guess that's potato chips and stuff. Supermarket bread, I always say you've got to eat sour dough bread.

Sausages, burgers, hot dogs, there go the barbecue. Instant soups, noodles, desserts. Chicken nuggets. fish fingers fruit yogurt pack with sugar fruit drinks margarins and spreads now they all have chemicals in them to make them taste better or the dyes that Robert Kennedy Jr. is banned and so they look better but I believe this and you know once you get up into your senior citizen territory you don't want to be bogged down with diabetes and all of this stuff.

So you've got to look at it. Now, once in a while, I'm going to have some sausage or a hot dog or a burger. But not a lot. I'm conscious of it. The sugar, I cut it down as much as I can cut it down. Okay, once in a while, I had a Carvel Wednesday night. Okay? But I won't have another Carvel for three weeks.

you can't just i can't be a spartan like that um but anyway every all americans are eating this stuff and that's why we got so much illness title nine the dey stuff across the united states is basically comes under a federal law called title nine what is that quote Title IX mandates that no person in the United States shall be excluded from participation in, be denied benefits of, this is key, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance based on their sex. And this is where the trans men, born biological males, want to compete.

with the girls' ladies. And that is discrimination the federal government under Trump says, because it's driving, you don't have the benefits of fair competition, because the men that want to be women are stronger than you are. It's Title IX. That is what Trump's using to destroy this DEI woke stuff. Now, will he be seen? successful ultimately? I think so. He'll go to Supreme Court because Maine and Minnesota are defying Trump, as you know. They're saying we're going to allow the trans men to do whatever they want. And that includes locker room access on and on. I don't think the Supreme Court's going to all hold that. So I thought I'd clarify that for you. The latest is Penn University.

They're allowing to transgender athletes and they're not going to get federal money. Tom's cutting it off. Stay in history, April 29, 1946, 28, Japanese officials go on trial in Tokyo as war criminals. Now, unlike Nuremberg, which tried the Nazis, there were four countries doing that, okay? France, Britain, United States, Soviet Union. Here in Japan, and Tokyo won us. So they put all these people on trial, 28 of them. The biggest name was Tojo, who was the commanding officer of the Army, and ran a government pretty much.

It was a military government. There's Tojo. Well, they hung them on December 23, 1948. And 16 defendants received life sentences. Seven were executed, and the rest got lesser sentences. So this was a big day because the Japanese did, they were akin to the Nazis in killing civilians. The estimate in China is 50 million. Nobody can confirm that.

Nobody can. All right. But outside of China, 19 million civilians in, I think it was a dozen countries, the Imperial Army in Japan is walk in. They kill anybody they want. rape anybody they want? Like, okay, we don't care. But it didn't get any publicity because there were no reporters on the scene. No reporters. It was too dangerous. And in the Europe theater, there were reporters in dockout or reporters in Belze and Belze. Auschwitz, they saw it. And they reported it, not in the Far East. But 79 years ago today, the trial for the Japanese began. And the

Emperor Hirohito didn't get charged, should have, but Truman and MacArthur, MacArthur was the military guy over there for us, run the show. They didn't want unrest in the Japanese population after we dropped the atomic bombs, they surrendered. They didn't want this, like if they killed the emperor God, because they believed that Hirohito was a god, my God. But Hirahito, he should have had that rope right around his neck. You want to know the details, killing the rising sun, killing your rising sun is the best source back with the final thought in a moment okay final third of the day is membership renewal time um we're running 88 percent renewals which i think is top of the chart very very high number and uh we will have this week

for concierge and premium members a best of the news nation town hall which is tomorrow night It's two hours. We're not going to run a whole two hours on Bill O'Reilly.com. We'll cut it down about 30 minutes, maybe 40. And premium members will be able to see that no one else. Okay, then I've got a special with Leland Vettered on Friday, about Donald Trump's first 100 days. And it's just me and Leland, and we will post that

in case you miss it or your DVR doesn't work or whatever just for premium members. So this is a good program. And if you really want to give your mom and dad a really meaningful gift for their days, concierge membership is very strong. And you get a free book. So you give them both. You can give them the membership and the book, whatever book you want.

Or you can take the book yourself. Don't tell them that, though. But, you know, mom and dad, grandma, granddad. Concierge membership, when you get older, we have a big crew that will help you, or answer your questions or do whatever you need us to do. That's a tremendous gift. And I don't think people think about it, you know. I mean, it's nice to give ties and flowers and all that, but this is the thing that lasts for

a year. And it's not expensive. We keep the price down. We've always skipped the price down because we want everybody to pay. participate. All right. So I'm heading the city tonight. I got to do something there. Head in New City tomorrow night. To do News Nation Town Hall. It's a wicked week here. Wicked, but fun. And I thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
