Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, December 17, 2024, stand up for your country. Well, Christmas Eve, one week away, I was almost overwhelmed yesterday. I'm pretty methodical. I don't get overwhelmed. But yesterday, who's that close? Because the news cycle is still intense. And I ain't got to do all the personal stuff.

You've got to remember all the gift giving. You've got to remember answer, people who are sending you well wishes, on and on and on and on. And you get the same thing. I'm not whining here. I'm just stating, report it. And so when you get the combination of work and personal, it just goes, anything goes wrong. And stuff always does. then things start to cascade down into chaos.

Anyway, on the Smart Life segment tonight, I'm going to give you a preview of what I'm going to do on Christmas Eve, which is my favorite part of the season. But first, the new president, Donald Trump, held a press conference yesterday, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So this was the first press conference that Donald Trump has held since being re-elected.

In his first term, Trump held 88 press conferences. By contrast, Biden in four years, same amount of time, okay, has held 37. So 88 Trump, 37 Biden. Yesterday, President Trump alleviated for an hour and 11 minutes, but here was the headline. The press, usually contentious, usually aggressive, mean-spirited, sometimes. They were, oh, it looked like they were all sedated. And there is a reason for that, and I'll tell you in a moment. So Trump had the field all to himself.

And I could have picked 10 soundbites, but there are two that caught my attention. The first one is on the drones. Everybody's speculating, some people panicking. I love people panicking. And here's what Donald Trump said about, the drone situation. The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage.

They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don't want to comment. And I think they'd be better off saying what it is. Our military knows and our president knows. and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense. And that's true. But the big headline there is Trump is not getting national security briefings from the Biden administration. He should be, but he's not.

So another ridiculous situation coming out of the White House under Joe Biden, just tell the folks. All right, there's no update today. I said to myself, find me something new, nothing new. They floating around and they won't tell us who's setting them up. And I do believe they know. It is that hard. Capture a few of them. You look at the hardware.

You can trace it back. All right. The most interesting thing as far as the country is concerned, because this drone thing isn't going to be big. It'll be defined, but it just shows you how incompetent the Biden administration is. But the most interesting, long-lasting thing is that Donald Trump is going after the media. So yesterday we reported George Stephanopoulos defamed Donald Trump, and he did, and Stephanopoulos does that to Republicans routinely, but this was really vicious. So ABC had to pay $16 million, a 15 million of which goes to the library that Trump will

build after he leaves office, and a million to Trump's legal expenses. and George Stephanopoulos himself has to pay a million, I understand. They're keeping that kind of secret, but it's money out of his pocket. Okay. So Trump wins the definition lawsuit that he filed against ABC because they settle. That's a win for Trump. In addition, Trump is suing CBS news alleging that they took a soundbide from Kamala Harris, and dishonestly edited to help Harris in the campaign.

I don't know, but CBS News will not release the transcript, and that is certainly suspicious. And the third one's against the Des Moines Register, which had an outrageously wrong poll in Iowa. So the president addressed this. I'm doing this not because I want to. I'm doing this because I feel I have an obligation to. I'm going to be bringing one against the people in Iowa,

newspaper which had a very, very good pollster who got me right all the time. And then just before the election, she said I was going to lose by three or four points. And it became the biggest story all over the world because I was going to win Iowa by 20 points. We're filing one on 60 minutes, you know about that, where they took Kamala's answer, which was a crazy answer, a horrible answer. And they took the whole answer out and they replaced it with something else. She said, later on in the interview, which wasn't a great answer, but it wasn't like the first one. The first was grossly incompetent.

It was weird. And that was fraud and election interference by their news magazine, a big part of CBS News. All right, so we can expect more of this from President Trump. It's a good thing. Because as we have chronicled here for years, the corporate media in America is corrupt, dishonest, hateful.

And I've been in here 50 years doing this. There is no greater expert on the media in the world than me. How about that for braggadocio? But it's true. I've worked CBS News, ABC News, Inside Edition, Fox News, and now we have the most successful independent news agency in the world. Want to know about the media? You come here. All right. So sum in this up, Donald Trump is a big opportunity.

to at least intimidate the American media into being not dishonest. You're never going to get good coverage if you are a conservative Republican or Donald Trump. And believe me, they still hate Donald Trump, even though they're kissing his butt. Now, the sedate media yesterday at the press conference, they're scared. Because where do you see what happens in 2025? I mean, if I'm George Stephanopoulos, I'm not buying any big houses. if you know what I mean. If I'm the ladies on The View, I'm a, you know, big things are going to happen.

All over, NPR, by PBS, CU, MSNBC, where did they go? One year, where do you see what happens? And we're on it. We are on it. And it's all because they devoted so much hatred, and that's the word. toward one man, Donald Trump, that Americans, even some of those who don't like Trump, that we can't tolerate this. They're using the First Amendment protections to try to destroy an individual.

Donald Trump, can't have it. Huge story. And that's the memo. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about.

The juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. 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. All right, Joe Biden, a very sad day for him. Went to Wilmington, Delaware on the 52nd anniversary of the death of his wife and baby daughter, Naomi, in a car accident. Let me remember that.

So Mr. Biden attended Mass and went to the burial site. We respect that. And he will return to the White House tomorrow. Donald Trump, still down in Mar-a-Lago. He met with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Netflix is the most powerful entertainment venue in the world now. And they have been very pro-democrat, very liberal, according to opensecrets.com. And that's a good website.

Write that down. Opensecrets, one word.com. Because they know all of the donations are going from the corporations. So Netflix has been very heavy on far left progressive causes. Anyway, so their CEO coming down and talked to Trump, I suspect there'll be a little daytime as Netflix, you know, they're going to have to play ball. And that happened today. Then there was another meeting, TikTok CEO. This is a fascinating, fascinating story.

Okay? So TikTok is an internet platform where you can post short form videos. It's enormously successful. All right. They have all kinds of budgeting, cooking, finance, beauty, influencers, advice, tips, everything. Comedy. I have never been on TikTok in my life. I wouldn't know even how to get there.

but I know it's powerful and it's owned by the Chinese okay there lies the problem it's owned by a company called byte dance B-Y-T-E-D-A-N-C and it is run by the Chinese government as every corporation in China is so people are worried that if you are on TikTok your information is being stored by the communist Chinese. I don't know whether it is or isn't, but I guess it would be. So the following companies have banned TikTok, Afghanistan, India, Iran, Uzbekistan, Nepal, Somalia, and others. 13 countries have partial bans like the USA. Now, Biden has ordered TikTok, and they have a deadline, to put itself up for sale. It has to sell.

The communists have to sell. By January 19th, or Biden, one day before he's out of there, will ban it or do something. TikTok has appealed directly to the Supreme Court, which is why this is so fascinating. There's no doubt that TikTok is owned by the Chinese government. No doubt. There's no doubt they can accumulate information about people who post stuff on TikTok. What is the Supreme Court going to do? So TikTok has filed an emergency claim to block the federal law

that would force the Chinese communists to sell the company. I don't know how the Supreme Court's going to rule. I don't know if they'll hear it. I don't know. Big. It's big. I don't know what the Chinese communists would do with our personal information, but I certainly don't want them to have access to it. TikTok itself is just like all the other social media. There's a lot of garbage on it, but I guess there's good stuff too. Anyway, following the story for you. There is a update on a very fascinating. Another.

very fascinating story, that got totally out of control. You will remember the accusation against Donald, against Joe Biden, sorry about that, the accusation against Joe Biden, that he engineered a deal that enriched Hunter Biden, all right, and that it went through Russia. And the guy that made that accusation, was a FBI informant named Alexander Schmierkaw. Shmierna. I got to get my names right. Okay?

So there's a sketch of the guy. The guy's real shadowy. And he told the FBI, hey, the Biden's got $5 million bucks by going to a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma. How many times did you hear Burisma? And Hunter Biden got $5 million because his father, then vice president, put the arm on Burisma to give him the money. You remember that, you have to remember. It was all over conservative media, all over.

We never did it because I don't do stories based upon some shadowy guy what he says. We just don't do that, which is why you're here listening and watching me today. But it was crazy, and it was taken as fact. Well, now this guy, the former FBI informant, Smirnov, has pled guilty to false derogatory information. And he agreed to a sentence of between 48 and 72 months in a federal penitentiary, and that will be handed down in Los Angeles on January 8th. The guy lied, made it up. Biden-Huntered, I guess they did benefit from Ukraine,

but not in the way he said. He lied. And it was reported as fact, but not by us. And the guy deserves to go to jail. Got to be very careful in this day and age. I learned that lesson way, way back when I was doing a factor. We made a mistake, one of the few we have ever made. And it was because we didn't check out who gave the social media the report.

And I never made the mistake again. We're cautious here. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine. post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Now, San Diego, one of my favorite American cities, beautiful climate, easy to get around, not like L.A., manageable. In there, I can, I know, dozens of times. But San Diego has changed. So now the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, has blocked three to one, voted three to one, to block any cooperation with Homeland Security in getting criminal migrants into the federal system. So if you are undocumented, you commit a crime in San Diego, they will not tell Homeland Security anything about you by a three to one vote. The sheriff of San Diego says she isn't going to obey that.

law. Kelly Martinez is her name, that she is going to cooperate with U.S. immigration and customs. ICE. And we invited the sheriff on the program, but for some reason she doesn't want to come on. I don't know why you would reach millions of people, Sheriff, but she's not coming on. Instead, we have a guy who knows a lot about San Diego. His name is Mike Slater. I've heard of him. He's on the first. He does my heart. hard news portion on radio, syndicated radio, all over the country, 300 stations, and he joins us now from Nashville, where, interestingly enough, Slater moved about a year ago from San Diego where he had lived for 12 years. Why did you move, first of all, to Tennessee?

I don't know, maybe reasons like this, Bill, maybe they let illegal alien rapists take sanctuary in the city that I called home. That among other reasons. My wife. also from Tennessee, but you don't have to live in these progressive bastions. So you moved out of one of the nicest places climate-wise because you were fed up with the politics? Oh, yeah. Listen, the weather is only so nice and the beach is only worth it for so long. It's wonderful. Seasons are beautiful, wonderful things. We like snow. It's good. It's good for the soul. And Nashville is a wonderful, beautiful place. It's good to be here with people who share your values. Okay. And a lot of people have done what you've done.

It moved to red states from blue states. But San Diego historically has not been San Francisco. Because of the military bases, the Marines are down there, and navies down there. It was a conservative place up until recently. Is that true? Yeah. So when I moved there 12 years ago, San Diego was a bastion of conservatism in crazy, wacky, California. They had a Republican mayor, largest city in the country with the Republican mayor.

the city council was five to four republican largest city council majority in the country and the county the board of supervisors which population wise the county of san diego 3.3 million is bigger than like 23 or 24 states so it's you have five county supervisors who are in charge of a lot of people um that was five nothing republican bill five nothing today nine nothing democrat city council this just happened over a decade period nine nothing democrat city council the wackiest mayor you can imagine, if you have a minute, I'll tell you what I think is the craziest example of him, and the Board of Super Super Sanctuary City Bill you were speaking of, is now three to two Democrat, very soon to be four to one. So it is no longer a bastion of conservatism in any way. Why did that happen? Yeah, a couple of reasons.

People go back and they blame the loss of the aerospace industry in the 80s, which lost a lot of its conservative influence. A lot of conservatives left for that. reason. There's more people there. So the military influence you spoke of is not as prominent as it was before. Price of housing has gone up so much that a lot of the military people who used to call San Diego home for years and decades after their retirement and leaving the military, they've left. So you don't have that legacy of military experience anymore as well. Then I believe you have a lot of people coming from San Francisco and L.A., where, as you said, it's not nearly as

not as San Diego. Things are much cheaper, easier, more manageable, as you said, to come down to San Diego. See if that influx, you also had a lot of illegal immigration. And there's two, I read an interesting analysis before him, that Texas attracts a certain type of immigrant, Hispanic immigrants specifically, and California is a magnet for a different type of Hispanic immigrant. Right now, a third of Californians are on some form of government welfare. Everyone may remember a story from a couple months ago where the assembly voted to give $150,000 of a down payment to a house to illegal aliens. Things like that attract a certain type of immigrant versus maybe a Texas which attracts a more entrepreneurial and conservative-minded illegal immigrant or immigrant as well.

So over decades, I believe California is a bit of a lost cause. There's much was made of the fact that 10 counties out of the 58 in California flipped from blue to to red. And people saw that as very hopeful and exciting. Why I was in this great, a new conservative renaissance in California. Now, those were all inland California counties that have been historically read for a long time. They should be read. And Tomola won California, 63 to 34. There is no conservative movement in California. Well, even if there were, the big cities are going to dominate. Now, Tom Holman, the new, his job is basically to get tough. on the border. This San Diego thing has caught his eye. According to reporting in the New York

Post, Holman favors arresting the woman in charge of San Diego County, actually having federal authorities go there and put her in handcuffs. And maybe even the mayor, who you'll tell us about in a moment, what do you think that's possible that the feds could go in if they don't cooperate, the county doesn't cooperate in telling Homeland Security, hey, we just took into custody so-and-so is here illegally for the charge of rape or homicide, whatever it may be. They're not even going to tell Homeland Security that. And it seems to me that's interfering with the federal investigation because the Trump administration made quite clear these people have to be deported. Yeah, it's always been very frustrating to me when you hear even congressmen say we need to

pass comprehensive immigration reform. Like, no, no, no. All the laws are on the books. You just need to enforce the laws. And Tom Holman, I don't have it off the top of my head. I'm not the borders are, but he rattles it off, like U.S. Code, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we researched it. There's no doubt. They don't have to pass new laws, but they should. Tighten everything out. But anyway, what do you think the odds are that the head of the San Diego Board of Supervisors is going to be in cuffs and charged with interfering in a federal agency? that would send the message to everybody.

Yeah, I think it's her, and he's really focusing on the mayor of Chicago. I think that would be his first target, maybe a little less sympathetic. Brandon Johnson. Right. Yeah, he's less sympathetic than Nora Vargas would be in California. But if I may one thing, Bill, I want to make sure that your listeners don't think that the new sheriff of San Diego, who was just elected two years ago, replaced a guy who was there for like 20 years, that she's some sort of hero in this.

In California, there is no conservative, influence. So you have crazy Democrats and radical Democrats. Pamela was a radical Democrat. Nora Vargas, a radical Democrat. This sheriff is just a crazy Democrat. So while she's saying she's not going, she's against the county decision to tell ICE about illegal alien rapists and child rapists, that's radical. She's against that. She's no hero, though. Okay, but maybe that's why she won't come on the program. Maybe that's why she won't come on the program. Maybe that's why she won't face me. Of course not.

She has no reason to. The right doesn't exist to her. There is no common sense. I did not know that. I'm glad you would define that. Okay, last question. So the mayor of San Diego is what? A loon?

Oh, yeah. Okay. So there's a whole backstory. Todd Gloria is his name. He was my favorite Todd Glory story. When he was an assemblyman in California, he passed a bill that said, children in foster care will get free sex change surgeries paid for by the taxpayer if you are in foster care

this was the beginning him and another state senator scott weiner another which is total radical this was the beginning of a system of encouraging children to talk to their school counselors to say lies to CPA to get their children into the foster care system in order to get sex change operations. This is a Todd Gloria movement. It has happened many times before. There are mothers who have told their story of how this has worked. That was Todd Glory in the Assembly. And the people of San Diego, what used to be this conservative bastion, Bill O'Reilly, beautiful place, like the pinnacle of just California, Lovin and California, everything is amazing. They voted him to be mayor, and they just voted for him to be reelected. We've lost San Diego. That's too bad. It really is.

Hey, Mike, Merry Christmas. Thanks for helping to Sal. We'll talk soon, okay? Merry Christmas, Bill. All right. Go to RFK Jr. So the update is that he is going to make his case in front of the Senate shortly after the first of the year, according to the finance chairman, Mike Crapo from Idaho. He's not going to make it. He's not going to make it.

And I'll tell you why. Two reasons. The conspiracy stuff, if you research. RFK Jr. and the senators will. It's crazy. I mean, he has rejected the science that HIV causes AIDS. He's pushed or at least at least he has considered the idea that coronavirus was targeted at non-Jews and Chinese, that non-Jews and non-Jews and non-Jews and non-Jews. on Chinese people with the targets of the coronavirus. And I can tell you from my research

in the Kennedy books that RFK is out there. I've always had a decent relationship with him. There's no way I vote to confirm him as department head for Health and Human Services. And then there's abortion because many of the Republican senators don't want unlimited abortion and JFK Jr. does. His quote is, I don't trust the government to make decisions for Americans and that mothers make the best decisions. Well, some mothers make the best

decisions. Others panic and then abort their children very late in term. And you're basically saying those unborn, fifth, six, seven, eight, ninth month, no protections? Republican senators aren't going to go for that. So I don't think he's going to make it. Could be wrong. We'll see. If I'm wrong, then I'm obviously if I'm wrong, I'm going to have to say I'm wrong. All right.

I don't know, Hague Seth, you know, back and forth, the media doesn't report him accurately. If I were in the Senate, I would give him a fair hearing. But he'd have to convince me that he has the knowledge to run the biggest corporation in the world, which is the Pentagon. And he doesn't have any experience doing that. Now, you can make a case that Donald Trump had no experience in the federal government. And I think his term was good for the first term, generally

speaking, make that case. So I think you've got to give Hague Seth a hearing, a fair hearing. Smart life. All right, Christmas Eve, as I mentioned, two weeks, two weeks, one week. from today. Favorite time for me. So what I've done over the years, it's almost like a tradition, very personal tradition, is that I take about an hour and a half, maybe two hours, at night,

Christmas Eve night, and I just ride around. I know it's against global warming and all that. I don't do any parties or any lavish stuff on Christmas Eve. It's more of a quiet time. And when my children were younger, I said, hey, let's go, we're going to go and take a ride with dad and we're going to play Christmas music on the radio and look at all the lights because here on Long Island we have decorative homes everywhere and it's fun. It's fun to do that. I could never get these urchins in a car. There's no way to, they look at me like, what? I said, yeah, when I was a kid, I used to do this, my father just to do it. And they go, No. And I didn't force them to go, but I couldn't get anybody to go. But I go. And I just kind of drive around, listen to the nice music, look at the decorative homes. And then I go into some of these wooded areas. You know, if it's not too cold, they'll take a walk. I just want a little solitary piece just for a little while. You know, it's not the whole night. I try to watch. Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim, and a very alert viewer pointed out that wasn't the original. I think I said it was. Reginal Olin, the British actor, was the original. But Sim is the best as Scrooge. That's really good. I try to watch that. And then I have a book, Washington Irving, that's Rip Van Winkle, that's Sleepy Hollow.

He wrote great stories about Christmas in colonial times. I mean, I like to do that. So for me, it's basically a contemplative day, Christmas Eve, beginning when the sun goes down. It's here on Long Island, about 4.30 now. And Trump is going to do away with daylight saving time completely? Is that what he wore? It's good. The clock's turning back. It's crazy.

But anyway, that's my smart life segment to you. If you can just take a little time for yourself and just kind of do it. like a walk or, you know, think about, and it doesn't have to be a religious thing. We do go to Mass. Usually go to Midnight Mass. Now many of the churches have 10 p.m. Mass. Because people are nodding out during the sermon at midnight mass. So they moved it up to 10.

I like to go around four or five, the earliest mass. I don't know why, but that works in to my tableau. Smart life. Have a great, you know, week or so coming up. This day in history. Now, remember the defamation win for Trump yesterday. Okay, remember that. So, 38 years ago, there was another win,

and a famous person won a defamation suit. His name was Wayne Newton. Who is Wayne Newton? Go. small ways my heart said don't get shame drus shame I'll be to say Dick is shame

All right, Mr. Las Vegas, Wayne Newton So NBC News Brian Ross, who got in trouble at ABC News too And Ross, good reporter, but I don't know. So they linked Wayne Newton with the mafia. They said he was in business with the mafia, and he wasn't. So Newton sued, and he won $19 million. But then, and this is our justice system, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

overturned that award, and Wayne didn't get any money at all out of the defamation. He won. That was there, but no money. And he had a pay. his lawyers and all line he went bankrupt and uh today he's 82 years old uh he performs in Vegas at the uh bugsy's cabaret at the flamingo hotel Wayne Bugsy I mean with all the Mafia trouble you have I don't know anyway so but Wayne's back he's 82 he's back he's out of bankruptcy and I met him a couple of times he's a very nice guy so That happened, 38 years ago today, Wayne won 19 million, never saw a dime. Back with a final thought on confronting the presidents.

So here's a final thought confronting the president's number five is coming Sunday on the New York Times list after 13 weeks. It's actually 15 weeks in the marketplace because the Times lags behind a little bit on their list. And it's still a fabulous bestseller. The reason is very simple. all of my books from Killing Lincoln, the first one, then all 13 killing books, and now confronting is a new series. We will have another confronting book out in September. And I'll tell you about it, you know, because we can't tell you now, because somebody will steal the idea. That's what they do. But anyway, the reason these books are so successful, and again I will

tell you, we are the most successful nonfiction authors in the world. is because they're fun to read. That means you're not bored. You're not, oh, do I have to pick this up again? Fun. And you learn something on every single page. So today, I was on the Travis show and Buck, and Buck Sexton and Clay Travis.

They took over for Limbaugh. They guys do a good job. I was on. And I'm explaining to them how Donald Trump is going to govern the second time around is much different than the first time around. Because he's taking the Franklin Roosevelt model and he's doing what Roosevelt did. Who knows that? No one knows that.

I don't know if Trump knows it. But if you reconfirting the president, you'll know it. So anyway, go to the bookstore, pick it on up. and give it to somebody a lie, read it yourself, whatever you want to do. And we will be back Wednesday and Thursday with fresh shows and doing what we do. Okay, so we hope to see you again.
