Starting point is 00:01:19 In the bullpen, I'm looking out there. We've got Stephen A. Smith warming up. He will join us shortly. Another busy week here, Newsweek. My God. It just never ends because Donald Trump is so frenetic. He's so on a mission. I hope you read my column.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I filed yesterday about why he's doing what he's doing. And I have a message of the day about President Biden and how Biden's performance is driving Donald Trump's policies right now. So I hope you read both of them. You don't have to be a member. You just go to Bill O'Reilly.com. there it is. Talking Points Memo this evening, a fascinating story. The President of the United States versus the state of Maine. Now, I know Maine real well. Okay, beautiful place, particularly in
Starting point is 00:02:12 the summer and fall. In the winter, it gets a little chilly up there. But Maineers are very interesting people, fiercely independent. And a lot of fishermen, lobster, all that outdoors, big gun territory, Maine. A lot of people, it's a blue state, but everybody's got a gun, because a bear could come down and eat you. You've got to have a gun in Maine, rural state. Now, Harris won by 57,000 votes, but Trump got close to 400,000 votes in Maine. So it's not California out there. So Trump signs an executive order, and he says it protects women and girls on the playing fields against trans men. Here's what the EO says, quote.
Starting point is 00:03:03 It is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls bribes them of privacy. It also will be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women's sports more broadly.
Starting point is 00:03:24 in sports more broadly. As a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth, unquote, that was signed on February 5th, that executive order. Well, Maine isn't obeying it. The governor up there, Janet Mills, 77 years old, been in office six years, says to the federal government, blank you, we're not going to go along with this executive order. So then Governor Mills on Friday shows up at the White House for a governor's meeting. Here's what happened. Go. And it's crazy, but the NCAA has complied immediately, by the way, that's good. But I understand Maine. Is the Maine here, the governor of Maine? Are you not going to comply with it?
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm complying with state and federal laws. Well, we are the federal law. Well, you better do it. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. So you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. Every state, good, I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one.
Starting point is 00:04:41 And enjoy your life after governor because I don't think you'll be in elected politics. Ooh, nasty, right? Okay. So, after that meeting, Trump orders the Department of Education, which still exists, okay, to investigate Maine's adherence to Title IX. Title IX says, you can't discriminate based on sex and education programs or activities. And the Trump administration says, you cannot allow males to compete against females, even if they're transitioning. Okay. So it looks to me like Trump, and I can almost assure you this will happen, we'll pause all federal aid to the state of Maine. This is a disaster, a disaster,
Starting point is 00:05:31 because the state of Maine doesn't have a very big population, and it gets $5 billion a year from the feds, which it needs for roads and other things. So then they'll go to court, and Trump will win. Because federal law, Trump, sorry, state law. And the government can virtue signal all she wants, but with this Supreme Court, it's a six to three vote all day long every day if it gets that high. And that's the memo. There's a lot of turbulence going on in this country. And no more so than in the media, media madness. Listen to this. Oh, just over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:21 All right, UGub poll, all right, fair sampling. Question, in general, how much you trust and how much confidence do you have in a media to state the facts fully accurately and fairly. A great deal, fair amount, 28, not very much, none at all. 67% of the American public does not trust the media. This is UGov. That's a liberal poll.
Starting point is 00:06:44 67%. Second question, in general, how much trust, confidence you have in President Trump's administration state the facts accurately and fairly. A great deal, fair amount, 44, not much, 51. Okay, that's about 50-50. We need to do the margin of error thing. Associated Press, they're suing the Trump administration
Starting point is 00:07:07 because Donald Trump says, we're not allowing you into certain venues like the White House press room because the AP won't call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. All right. Now, what's the Associated Press? It is what they call a wire service. So if you live in a small town and have a small town newspaper, you'll see AP because the small town newspaper can't afford to hire reporters to cover stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:41 So they have to take the Associated Press. Therefore, the Associated Press reaches a tremendous amount of people. It is, as we chronicled last week, a very liberal organization, very liberal, the AP. And they hate Trump. And Trump knows it. So Trump picked up on the AP refusing to call the Gulf of America, okay? And he said, okay, then you can't be in the White House this room. You can't go on Air Force One.
Starting point is 00:08:10 you can't you can't you can't if he says hey we're going to sue you all right u.s district court washington dc uh violation of the first amendment because uh the government is not supposed to retaliate against a press agency ap could win this unlike maine that no way she wins the governor up there ap could win the judge might rule hey you're You're retaliating against this press organization, which has special rights, as the press does in this country, because they're doing something you don't like. So keep your eye on, Supreme Court on that one? That's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Because the Trump administration can say, listen, we have the right to designate what our country is called. The federal government is the right to do that. But you then, if you're a sharp lawyer on the AP, say you'll only have 12 miles because that's U.S. waters go 12 miles.
Starting point is 00:09:23 After that, it's international waters. It's complicated. But the Trump administration, it's not a lock, they win this. And I think they'll settle up. I'm reunying to my family
Starting point is 00:09:35 because we're going to Burlington for the event of liquidation candidating. We're going to now to find the best of the best in articles of liquidation. From

Starting point is 00:09:54 very very hot to perversely. Burlington, Marks, Rebaugh Wow! Flying first

Maybe they'll call it the Gulf of New Mexico. I don't know. All right, MSNBC fires Joy Reed. A very radical woman, fires her, you're out, bye, pretty stunning.
Starting point is 00:10:45 All right, now they did that because Joy Reid's ratings aren't very good, but nobody on MSNBC is good ratings. But they're not terrible ratings, they have worse people there. But Joy Reed is a real, she's very far out and very racial, rule the table. voters don't vote that way. They don't vote based on economics or based on the benefits they're getting economically from the president. They're increasingly from the Tea Party on, they're voting on race. They're voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border, the idea that they can't get whatever job they want. A black person got it, therefore drive all the blacks out of the colleges, get rid of DEI. That is what they're voting on.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Okay. I don't believe that's what they're voting on. I don't believe white people have animus in general against blacks. Some do. They're bigots on both sides. I'm not justifying anything, but she sees everything through a racial prison. Lester Holt, not the problem at NBC, stepping down. But we don't know why. Lester won't tell us why. Now, you may remember that Donald Trump attacked the hierarchy at Comcast, which owns NBC, and NBC. news. Here's what Trump said, quote, low-life chairman of Comcast, Brian Roberts, the owner of ratings challenge NBC and MSDNC, has finally gotten a nerve to fire one of his least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist, Joey Reed, based on her ratings,
Starting point is 00:12:26 which were virtually non-existent. She should have been canned a long time ago, along with everyone else who works there. Okay. So notice the first line, low-life chairman of Comcast, Brian Roberts. These moguls are afraid. Now, why would you, why is Lester Holley? He's not the problem. As some of you know, I work with Mr. Holt at WCBS TV. It's a straight shooter. Yes, he's in the culture of NBC in Comcast, which is decidedly left wing. There's no doubt about that. But he himself, I think he tried to be down the middle. But there's no reason for him to step down. He's healthy. Still good? Why does he leave it? Nobody knows. It'll come out. Now, they bopped out Nora O'Donnell at CBS and put in two guys nobody ever
Starting point is 00:13:22 heard of, and that's a disaster already. And I predict you remember, and I said if Trump run the election, the media is going to fall apart. Corporate Media, NAR. Hey Bill O'Reilly here. In my career, I have interviewed seven presidents, covered every major story of the last few decades, but I've never seen an opportunity like this one. President Trump's second term could mirror the economic boom in the 1920s, a time when unemployment hit 1.8%. Stock soared 265%. The ordinary Americans had their shot at real prosperity. That's why I've recorded a special presentation with renowned investment expert Alexander Green called the rebirth of the American Dream. Alex will reveal how President Trump plans to slash regulations, cut taxes, bring manufacturing
Starting point is 00:14:15 back to America, and unlock the AI-driven tech boom. Plus, you will get details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency. Please visit Trump's American Dream.com to watch our presentation now. All right, let brings us to Stephen A. Smith. All right, now I got to set this up properly and methodically. Stephen A. Smith is the highest paid sportscaster in the country. He works for ESPN, does a morning show, and he has done extraordinarily well at the Disney Corporation. He's by far and away their most popular sports guy. But you may have noticed over the last year or so that Stephen A has gone into public policy somewhat. He appears on News Nation. He appears on Sean Hannity's program. And he talks about
Starting point is 00:15:13 very important things other than sports. Okay. Because of that, Stephen A has put himself in a position to criticize both parties. And James Carville took exception to dismiss criticism of the Democrats. Roll it. When it comes to sports, I find him to be really encipher. When it comes to politics, he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Starting point is 00:15:41 He's on that running his mouth about how he may have to run as a Democrat because there's nothing left the Democratic Party has no talent. Stephen Eyre, you fucking me. First order business, so do you have to be so rude? You know, dropping F bombs and going all, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:01 going off like that. I mean, I know that's your nature. I understand that, but, but let's just say two can do that, you know. I mean, if you really wanted to get raw, ain't nobody hiding from that. I could be that way. It's just that my mama taught me to respect my elders. And you are 80 years of age, if I remember correctly. Joining us now from New Jersey. is Stephen A. Smith. I think that's why are you like me because I'm so old. I think that's, now I got it. Now your mother said, hey, he's got to get old. You've got to treat them pretty well. Okay. So you're old and wide. So it all works. And I'm still good looking and that's all what really matters. Listen, that's for somebody else to say. But you look good. You look good.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's all like Botox. So over the past few weeks, the Washington Post, the New Yorker magazine, New York Times Athletic, the New York Post, Fox News, News Nation, have all done features on you about your political future in their estimation. It's not like you've said anything. It's like that. Why do you think that is? Why are you getting so much attention in this area? Because I do something that the Democratic Party doesn't do at this particular moment in time. I resonate. It's really that simple. I'm not saying that to brag on myself. I'm saying, that to highlight the desolate state of affairs that exist within the Democratic Party. They haven't been very, very impressive, collectively speaking, of course.
Starting point is 00:17:40 And I think that when you see the election and what the election results revealed, Donald Trump gets 77 million votes. He wins the popular vote. He wins the electoral college vote. He wins every swing state. He's up in like 50 counties. He gave a run for money in New York. They improved in California. Obviously, they won the Senate, they won the House, and they maintained, you know, their stake in the House. I'm sorry, in the Senate, they won the Senate, and they maintained their stake in the House as well. You take all of those things into account, and there's just no question that the Democratic Party is in dire straits right now. And so when you hear me pointing out some of the things that I pointed out, I'm not one of those guys, Bill, who believes that because you think differently than me, you're a racist.
Starting point is 00:18:27 You're anti-black. No, you don't play that yet. I've never heard you play that. I don't play that game. Why do you think Carville got so upset about this? What is it that you're doing that annoys him? Well, you know this better than me because you're the veteran in politics over the last 50, 60 plus years, 50 years plus. I'm not going to go to 60 route because you're not that old.
Starting point is 00:18:49 But here's the deal. In the end, when you look at a guy like James Carville, who came across as a bit truculent to say the least, I think that, you know, first of all, he misquoted me. I did not say there was no talent in the Democratic Party. I said there was no one who was resonating. They did not have a voice. I happen to know Westmore, the governor of Maryland. He's a friend of mine.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I mean, I like him a great, great deal. We've become friends. I enjoyed my interview with Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania. I just finished interviewing a few minutes ago, Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Hakeem Jeffries. So it's not like the Democratic Party is devoid of talent. That's not what I said. But they are devoid of a voice. They are devoid of somebody who resonates on a national level.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And I think James Carville took exception of that primarily because he forgot that he was the one saying it too, which is why on my show, when I clapped back at him, I played some clips of him saying the same damn thing that I said. Because he had been lamenting that. You ought to get Carville on your podcast, which is very successful. Oh, yeah. I'm going on, I'm going on his. I'm going on his. Yeah, there's a couple of things in play. Number one, there is no leader of the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Now it would be my first question, Carville. Who's the leader? Chuck Schumer? Come on. There's no leader. They don't have anybody. Kamala resurfaced at the NAACP. Didn't really make a dent. So it's wide open.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Number two, Trump opened the gates for populist candidates. And if you ever decided to get into politics, that's what you would. be a populist candidate. You would be going right to the people and say, look, I feel for you and I'm going to, if you elect me, I'm going to try to solve some of your problems. That's what Trump did. And it's been very successful for Trump. But right now, the Democratic Party is disarray. And Carvel knows that, but it just seems to be he was insulted by- And not listening to him. That's where his real frustration comes from. And I'm not, and please don't give me wrong. I'm not saying they shouldn't listen to him. I think they should have listened
Starting point is 00:21:00 to him. But I think that as is the case in our society today on a plethora of platforms and industries where you've got youngsters on the come up and they sort of ease the elder statesman out of the mix because they want to run things themselves. I deal with that in sports too where you have an abundance of individuals who were qualified and they couldn't get a job because the youngsters were placed at the helm and they didn't want to bring somebody in more knowledgeable than them. Take into account, you know your sports a little bit, Bill O'Reilly. Bill Belichick couldn't get an NFL job. The man has won eight Super Bowl championships. Two as a defensive coordinator, six as a head coach. And when he got let go by the New England
Starting point is 00:21:37 Patriots, he couldn't get a job. He had to go back to college at the University of North Carolina to get a head coach job. They didn't want to get a guy like that. I know that. I know that. But what I'm saying is, what I'm saying is transitioning back to politics, you have people in positions of power within the Democratic establishment that clearly didn't want to listen to James Carvo. So that could be a part of his frustration. But in the end, he came at the wrong person
Starting point is 00:22:01 because I wasn't knocking him. I thought they should have listened to him. But when he clapped back at me, I'm like, wait a minute, you've been talking the same stuff that I've been saying. You must have forgot about that. Let me remind you. And that's about as far as well. If you really want to cut through it all, and no Democrat has a courage to say this,
Starting point is 00:22:17 Joe Biden destroyed the party. This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chau. A new kind of flavor of sparkling water.

Starting point is 00:23:14 Visit MailChimp.com You destroyed Yes, I said that But you're not, you know, you're not in the political arena. There's nobody in Congress or working in the Democratic precincts. No governor, nobody. Westmore, your buddy, when you talk to him, and you ask him, did Joe Biden destroy the Democratic Party? He'll say no.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Or he won't answer the question. Joe Biden destroyed it because he's the second worst president in our history. And it's not even close. I mean, you can never beat James Buchanan because he let the civil war happen. But Biden, if you read my message of the day, I'm Bill O'Reilly.com, the guy, that's why Trump is, you know, bouncing up and down like, you know, an 18-year-old on speed because he's trying to reverse all of this stuff in a bit that's hurting every American. But the Democrats won't acknowledge that. and they also won't acknowledge that woke culture has destroyed the fabric of the party. That's what the main thing is all about, right?
Starting point is 00:24:21 You and I have been, you're absolutely right. You and I have been on TV together, and you know how I love to disagree with you, but when you're right, you're right, damn it, I got to concede it, and you're right on the money with that, you know, and so when you take into account, first of all, Joe Biden was supposed to leave, he was supposed to be a transitional president, and then was feeling himself when the midterms wasn't a red wave in 2022, too, so he decides to stay in office, basically betrays the party, and then they got to come up with some elaborate scheme to get him up out of there. That's what I firmly believe. And it turned
Starting point is 00:24:49 out to backfire on them. And when you look at the actions of Trump right now, and people talk about him trying to undo so much that they have done, whether you like or dislike what Trump is doing, and there's plenty of people in the center and clearly on the left who do dislike what he is doing, it is no doubt he is trying to do exactly what he said he was going to do, which is also the antithesis of what Democrats at least in remember you're doing about that he's going further he is going further going to be too far he expected him to prop up Putin but as I know in my column this is why he's propping up Putin and there's a reason for it I read your column it was a pretty damn good column by the way too so not a little pretty but you're damn
Starting point is 00:25:33 good right I got to give it I got to give credit with credit you you got to extract the word pretty It's a damn good column. And that brings me to the damn good show that we're going to do on March 30th and Westbury Music Fair on Long Island Sunday. I'm taking a chance putting this show together. It's my production company, and Stephen A was nice enough to sign on. Here's why, and I'm very interested in your point of view on this. United States has descended into tribalism.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's almost like sports in the sense that you root for, team. And in some places, you'll punch out somebody who roots for another team. The United States is now descended into tribalism. And a lot of people don't want to hear anything other than what they believe. That you can see it on cable television. All right. Correct. What we're doing, the three of us, is we're trying to meld three different audiences. into one building, one show. There's no doubt the show is gonna be good. No doubt, all right?
Starting point is 00:26:45 But whether the people want that kind of a presentation, that's what's on the line, go. Well, let me tell this to America right now as they watch the show and they get set to hear about us, see us in person, March 30th in Westbury, New York. There's a saying that's out there, Bill is talking about, in the rain. And what we mean by that is that no holds barred. You say what you feel. You mean what you say. And we don't have to worry about the other, you know, one of us demonize and another.
Starting point is 00:27:19 You disagree with some things. I say, I disagree with some things you say. Same applies to Chris Cuomo. But we respect each other. We like each other. We love being on TV on front of the camera together and we get along just fine. And what we do in an event like this is remind Americans that it's okay to be honest and authentic and give anybody else your perspective and your point of view. The key is having an open enough mind to listen to somebody who may disagree with you.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Well, I hope that's the case. As long as you're willing to do that, you can do it. And we do it all the time. But I don't know in this period of history if that is going to drive people into a show. Again, the show is Westbury Music Fair, Long Island, March 30th, 3 p.m. Sunday. It's going to be a blast. Stephen A. will be there, and he promises to wear his pink jacket that he had on last night when the Celtics.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I didn't promise the pink jacket that day. Not that day. I'm going to see you a couple of times before that. I need to see that pink jacket in person. What is your suit game going to look like? How about that? We know my suit game is going to be up to. Look at this. GQ consults with me. That's all I have to say. Stephen A. Smith, everybody. There he is.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And we'll see you soon. Stephen. Thanks for coming on. Goodbye, man. Take it easy. All right. Latest poll from Mark Penn is an honest man. This is a Harris poll. Fair sample. 2,400 registered voters. That's a big poll. Two questions. Three questions. In general, do you think the country is on the right or wrong track? Right track 42. Wrong 48. So Trump has still got some work to do there. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing? Approve 52, disapprove 43. That's a strong number for Trump, particularly with all the controversy in play. Third question in general, do you think the American economy's on the right track or wrong? Right track 38, wrong 51. That is the high prices. It's going to be hard to get
Starting point is 00:29:31 those prices down, particularly for the necessities of life, like food. So that's what that's all about. I told you last week that Boston was going to run up against a Trump administration, right? Remember? I said, Boston is not going to obey immigration law. And now there's looked like there's trouble. So the guy in charge of Homeland Security is Tom Holman. here's what he said about Boston I'm coming to Boston I'm bringing hell with me I looked at the numbers
Starting point is 00:30:09 this morning I counted I stopped counting at nine nine child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts but rather than
Starting point is 00:30:23 honoring an icy tainer released them back into the street you're not a police commissioner take that bad off your chest, put in the desk drawer because you became a politician, you forgot what's like to be a cop. I was talking about Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox, who's not involved with
Starting point is 00:30:42 this rapist stuff. These were all towns outside of Boston. We have tracked four of them. But the real problem is the governor, Maura Healy. There's a very left-wing woman. And she is not ordering the towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to obey the immigration law. Therefore, you've got four rapists, foreign nationals in this country illegally, that will let go.
Starting point is 00:31:07 All right? And I got them right here.

I have some jeans, but I needed an upgrade, all right? A couple of pair of trousers. So I go to this store, very expensive store, because I figured, look, I'll buy quality,
Starting point is 00:35:42 so I don't have to go back because I hate shopping. $750 they want for trousers there. And I look at these things. We're made in Italy. And I actually tried one on. I'm at 3636. And these pants, 3630, could not have fit Pinocchio. All right?

Starting point is 00:38:07 Here is the final thought of the day. On Friday night, I went to see Jeff Dunham, comedian, he's got the puppets. And I interviewed Dunham when he was 14 years old in Dallas, texts. And I am so pleased with his success. Guy's a genius in my estimation. What he does, nobody else can do. Here's a sample. I think this whole thing was funny. Funny, yeah. I think my own party just realized how old I am. You dumbasses. That I killed it at the debate. You killed. Yeah, I killed the Democratic Party's hopes of winning the next election. By the way, I want to say, I know we have people from both parties
Starting point is 00:38:56 to represent here this evening, and I just make fun of what's going on in the news. That's it. So, Mr. President, you know, just thought what you heard, the Democrats are not panicking. No, no, they're freaking the F out. The debate united the Democratic Party. That's why they're all voting for Trump. You think your party's no longer behind you? Oh, they're behind me, but they're running through the freaking hills.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So Dunham does a lot of that contemporary humor, but he's not a partisan, and it's very, very clever. He's got the last dummy he does is peanut. He had me on the floor with peanut. It was brilliant stuff. And he tours around. He's all over the place. So Jeff Dunham, check him out.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Good guy. And that was an excellent show on Friday night at the UBS in Long Island, where the Islanders play. And I'll be going to a game very shortly. I hope they start to win. You know, I want my teams to win. Jets. Mets look good, though. I think Mets could be a big year. Yankees are very good going to be. Could be a subway series. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you again tomorrow.
