Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here, welcome to the No Spin News for Monday July 21st, 2025. Stand up for your country. Another crazy weekend, you know, I just want to go out to dinner and lay on the beach. Not possible. Every two minutes a dopey phone is pinging and binging. And we got the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, saying President Obama committed a crime. We're waiting for the evidence from Ms. Gabbard, waiting to see it, see what she's got. Then New York City, we already have the evidence, some violent migrant released four times, no bail after arrest, shoots an ICE agent in the face. Now we're investigating that because I want to be very precise before I hang these judges
Starting point is 00:01:02 tomorrow, and I will. Look, here's how crazy it is in New York City. All right. So you're from Venezuela, for example. You illegally enter the United States. You come to New York City. You commit a crime. You're arrested by the cops. You appear before a judge and he goes, see you later. Let you out. Doesn't even call ICE. Four times. This is anarchy. This has to stop. And what I'm trying to do here, and I'll have a report tomorrow as I said, is find out precisely what the federal government can do to New York City to stop it. That is the story. But the Talking Points memo tonight is a report card because Donald Trump has been in office for six months second term and I'm giving him a report
Starting point is 00:01:54 card. That's what I do. All right, let's take it point by point. First one, securing the border, Trump gets an A. First six months of 24 under Biden, more than a million foreign nationals illegally crossed the border. First six months at 25, 118,000. Come on. Come on. I mean, that's a huge success for every single American, even those who want the open border. Second one, the economy. So unemployment is about the same under Biden, and not a big difference. Inflation is what everybody's worried about. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:39 So the first six months, 3% under a Biden and June, I should say, I'm sorry, June. June 24, 3% under Biden. And June 25, 2.7%, even dropped a little bit, right? Despite all this tariff stuff. Now, the tariff stuff, I can't analyze because it's too unclear, nebulous word of the day by December Maybe November I'll be able to tell you whether the tariffs are winning or not But I can't now they change every day and but inflation is taint About downsizing the federal government, which we absolutely have to do with a 37 trillion dollar debt so about downsizing the federal government, which we absolutely have to do with a $37 trillion debt. So Trump has knocked out 125,000 federal employees through retirements and layoffs.
Starting point is 00:03:45 It's a lot of money saved. Now, the reason you don't hear about this is because of the Musk distraction And I'm gonna deal with the Trump distractions in a minute So Musk was the big Doge guy and Doge's uncovered some but nothing like it was hyped to do But it don't just save some money, but then must blows up with Trump and then you know, when's the last time I heard anything about Doge But the downsizing is fairly intense for six months, 125,000. Ukraine, D as in dog, OK? And it's not Trump's fault, but he did overestimate his relationship with Vladimir Putin.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Putin's a villain, and that thing is worse now than it was on inauguration day. So we can't be getting the hierarchs. But I don't know what Trump could do other than really get aggressive, more aggressive on the sanctions, but it's Putin's fault. Iran, A. So we go to Ukraine, D, to Iran, A, gutsy move to bomb the nuclear facilities of the mullahs and it Demoralized them and the whole terror world and it was a very successful Policy
Starting point is 00:04:56 Israel Gaza see and It's again not America's fault, but neither Israel nor Hamas wants to stop this. They don't want to stop it. Israel wants to wipe out every Hamas person. In order to do that, they're going to have to kill civilians, which they continue to do. OK, Hamas doesn't want to stop because it somehow crazily believes that they're getting sympathy
Starting point is 00:05:21 and that's going to do something for them. So neither side will stop. Where are the hostages from Hamas? All right. So that's absolute chaos. See, stands for chaos there. Deportation C plus first six months at 24. Biden deported for 10, 410,000. And for six months, 25, Trump, 239.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Now, you say, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, it's the border crossings are down 90%. So you're not going to have all the Biden deportations are at the border, just like Barack Obama. It wasn't ICE hunting people down. So ICE is holding, I think it's 50,000, and they've deported a number. But the problem is here that the federal government has not
Starting point is 00:06:14 explained its policy, the Trump administration has not explained its policy, on nonviolent, non-criminal migrants. It's got to be explained. This is what we're going to do. Now I've offered them very, very good solutions. They have not picked them up. We've had Homan, Tom Homan on the program.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Look, you've got to have some kind of review process because innocent people can get swept up here. But that has not happened. So the deportation is C+. And I think that it could get to B+, if the Trump administration started to define it in a more clear way, clearer way. Woke, A. So I am totally on board with the Trump administration going after these propagandistic colleges, these schools that promote anti-semitism, that promote
Starting point is 00:07:13 woke, that deny due process to their students, knock them out. All right, all of them. I am on board with that. The military, the woke is gone and military recruitment for the first five months of 25 this year, up 38% compared to the first five months of 24 with Biden. It's a big jump. People are going, I didn't want to serve under that Biden thing because of the sane rules, but now they're back. And that's important.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Okay. So there is the report card. And the final one is engagement of problems. We have a myriad of problems in this country. And I'm giving Trump an egg because he's going after him. Now you may not like him. You may not like some of the solutions or the policies which you got, if you're fair, say,
Starting point is 00:08:12 this guy is taking them on while Biden did nothing. Four years, nothing. What did Biden do about the national debt? What did he do about DEI? DEI promoted it. What did he do about the border? Oh no, we can't stop it. We don't know. What did he do about Iran? Nothing. At least Trump, I mean, this is what I, my liberal for, oh, Trump is this, Trump said that. Okay. You know, I wrote a column and said, look, you evaluate somebody by what they do, not
Starting point is 00:08:45 what they say. I mean, you cannot like them. I'm not convincing you to like him, but he's engaging. He's trying to solve these vexing problems. Okay? All right. And that's the memo. Now, one of the things that hurts Donald Trump and I you know
Starting point is 00:09:06 I don't know whether he knows it or not. I've talked to him about it, but he doesn't acknowledge Is the distractions? All right, so you're always gonna have the press fuse and we'll get that with Bernie Goldberg's coming up on a Colbert network thing You're always gonna have that and Trump is right to take on the press You don't just sit there and I did an interview with Bush the Younger in the early part of the 21st century, right, about five years after 9-11. And I said, why don't you lash out against NBC? NBC even then was killing killing him. Bush the Younger and his policy was I float above it. I'm happy that Trump has taken media on, okay, because they are dishonest and he's
Starting point is 00:09:54 winning with the media but it's bloody and it's a destruction, okay. And then we have the Epstein distraction. Now that one is a mystery to me because finally the Trump administration took them two weeks. Okay, release the grand jury transcripts. Let everybody in the country see the evidence against Epstein which would include any of Epstein's cohorts because you have to present that evidence to the grand jury in order to get indictments. So let's see it. Now it's being held up by a judge, Richard Berman, in the Southern District of New York City. There's Berman. He can release that anytime he wants and he can redact. So if there are people that were mentioned in the testimony of the grand jury, but they didn't really have any criminal thing they just mentioned, take it out.
Starting point is 00:10:55 You don't want to do that. You don't want to brand people. But Berman's sitting on it. I'm not criticizing the judge because he's got to deliberate he got a guy but he's got to get out there Once that gets out there then a conspiracy people. Okay blow up and the distraction comes down Finally the Lawsuit filed against the Wall Street Journal now as you know, I do read the Wall Street Journal every day.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Their editorial pages are very good, in my opinion. They don't necessarily back Trump, but I think the editorial pages are fair. The news pages are different. It's two different papers. Their left. Not crazy papers, like their left. Not crazy left, like the Times and the Washington Post, Boston Globe, LA Times, not there, but they tilt it.
Starting point is 00:11:54 So as you know, the Wall Street Journal says, look, in 2003, three years before any criminal charges were levied against Epstein, Trump sent him a birthday card for his 50th birthday. And on a card was a doodle of a kind of suggestive thing, I don't know. I haven't really seen it. And therefore, Trump's heinous and horrible and terrible. The guy sent the guy a birthday card with a drawing on it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Now, Trump said, no, I didn't. And I told Rupert Burdok, who owns the Wall Street Journal, that I didn't. But they printed it anyway. So two days later, Trump sues him in Miami federal court. That's fast. So he's on a phone with a big-time Democrat over the weekend and he's railing about you know, I go look you got no case because Biden had all the information for four years you guys didn't say a word and you know it but this thing can put the bed pretty fast by a forensic. A forensic goes in and
Starting point is 00:13:08 that person, former FBI, whatever you want, they could see whether this drawing is in Trump's hand because Trump did do some charitable squiggles in the past and it's easy. I shouldn't say it's easy. But this is a real exact science. It's forensics business. Now you've got to think that Trump knows that. And to file a lawsuit 48 hours after the publishing of the article, whoa! So that got my attention. Because it's going to be one or the other.
Starting point is 00:13:46 It's going to be the president isn't telling the truth or the Wall Street Journal filed a phony story. And because Trump himself complained about the story before publication, that's malice. So one or the other is going to happen. That's why it's a big story. And I'm going to cover it in a fair way because that's what I do. 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.

Starting point is 00:15:18 Okay, and if you guys are listening to these animals, and I use that word literally on cable news and reading in the newspapers all of this conjecture and conspiracy stuff if you're listening to that that's on you that's not fair it's not right read my message of the day on BillOReilly.com it is the most fair assessment of this whole thing. And it's not even a long read. I just lay it out. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay. Trump on his social media thing is celebrating the demise of Stephen Colbert. You guys know what I think of him. I wrote a column on it. It's on BillOReilly.com. By the way, you don't need premium members to read the message of the column. Just go there
Starting point is 00:16:09 and read it for everybody. You know, I was on late night 75 times in my career. I think it's a record. I mean, maybe Jackie Mason or Shecky Green beat me or Robin Williams was on the line. And I know these guys. And Colbert, of all of them, he's my least favorite. Because he was in it to harm people with whom he disagrees. That's what he was in it for. Stewart's in it for comedy, satire. He's left. But I never saw him really want to hurt anybody. I mean, Letterman was rough. If you Google O'Reilly Letterman,
Starting point is 00:16:55 you'll see some shootouts. Leno and Kimmel didn't used to be political, but he hates Trump. And so he's crossed over. But anyway, Colbert is canceled. And there's two reasons why. Number one, CBS is being sold to a conservative, more conservative corporation called Skydance.
Starting point is 00:17:14 And number two, the Colbert show lost $40 million last year. Why? Because Colbert is not funny anymore. Roll the tape. At this point, Trump isn't even trying to hide his awfulness. In the first Trump term, it took a disease to destroy the economy. This time, he is the disease. To be clear, Trump is preannouncing that he's going to break any law he wants to get whatever
Starting point is 00:17:43 he wants. Now, I'm no revolutionary. I can't grow the beard. But that is a tyrannical declaration of power. Okay, so why do we need that every night? Nobody wants to watch that. He's got two million and a few hundred thousand viewers, but that's nothing. He's losing 40 million a year
Starting point is 00:18:05 and he makes 15 million so he's out. 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 percent. Stock soared 265 percent. 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
Starting point is 00:18:48 taxes, bring manufacturing 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. visit TrumpsAmericanDream.com to watch our presentation now. Joining us now from North Carolina is a guy who knows the networks, particularly CBS, very well. His name is Bernard Goldberg.
Starting point is 00:19:16 We call him Bernie, but it's Bernard, and that's what you punch up when you wanna go to his website for wisdom and perspective That good did I did I say it the way you wrote it? Okay, excellent I'm a pro. I mean I I can do that All right. Now. I think this is a bigger story than Stephen Colbert
Starting point is 00:19:41 and I predicted as you know that Colbert would go and There are gonna be some people on The View that are going to go. And Kimmel? Possible. But it's a bigger story in the sense that network television is finished. It is over.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It is not coming back and that includes the news agencies. Do you agree? I do. All right. So you wrote a book early on called Bias when you were a correspondent at CBS and Bernie and I worked for a brief time together at the network. And you nailed it with Dan Rather and that crew that they were shading the news to the left and it really wasn't an honest play. That contagion spreads all throughout CBS now. There isn't one traditional conservative commentator to be seen on the entire network.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Do you think that has something to do with its demise? Yeah, I do. Bias, which came out right after 9-11, was a wake-up call. It was a warning shot about liberal bias and the harm it causes. But instead of paying attention, what they did was they called me every name in the book. They called me, and I mean this literally,
Starting point is 00:21:11 they called me a traitor. These are people who don't call real traitors, traitor, but they called me a traitor. I survived, I'm not at all sure they will. The new management, Skydance, is headed up by David Ellison, whose father Larry, who I interviewed while I was at CBS, his father Larry is good friends with Donald Trump. David Ellison met with Brandon Carr, the FCC chairman, the other day and said, I want more voices, more variety of voices at CBS News.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Which leads me to say this, Bill, and I'm saying it not literally, but you'll get the idea. There's a better chance that you, Bill O'Reilly, will be the next anchor of the CBS Evening News than will Scott Pelley, who is a liberal who hates Donald Trump or at least doesn't like Donald Trump or at least doesn't like Donald Trump. They want a variety of voices and the one, the liberal ones they have now don't provide any variety. All right. But there's no difference between CBS, NBC and ABC. Correct? It's the same.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, but I know, but I know CBS better. I know, I know, but I want your opinion on that. It's the same across the board. Right? That's right. Okay. So you got Paramount, which is going to sell, you got Comcast, you got Disney, you got three major corporations here. They all have taken their network franchises way to the left, not a little way to the left. And I'm saying to myself, why, why would they, why would you hire a Stephen Colbert
Starting point is 00:22:46 when 80 million people voted for Donald Trump? And not one, and not one of those people are ever going to watch Stephen Colbert. Why would you hire him? You know, Michael Jordan famously said he was asked to endorse a Democratic candidate for the US Senate. And he said, you know, Republicans buy sneakers too. It's as if these people don't understand that Republicans have TV sets too, that Republicans watch television too. They have to. They don't care. Okay, now we're getting there.
Starting point is 00:23:28 But if you're the CEO of Brian Roberts at NBC and Eiger at Disney, God knows who run in CBS. All right. Your duty is to make your corporation profitable, but they have put their ideology above that and ruined the three networks top to bottom. I think they have a knee-jerk reaction, and I'd like to know what you think about this. If you say, and I think I reasonably said it in bias. There's a liberal bias in the news. There's no conspiracy. Back then, there was no conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:24:11 There's a lack of diversity of opinion. Dan Rather never came in, closed the door, called his top lieutenants in, doused the lights, pulled the shades, gave the secret handshake and the secret salute, and said, let's get those conservatives today. It never ever happened that way. It was groupthink. They had too many people of the same political mentality.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I don't think Bob Iger or the other CEOs think too deeply about this, but I think if you come out like I did and say there's a liberal bias in the news, they automatically think you're a right-wing screwball. And they reject what you say, and they go the other way, just as Biden went the other way on the border because Trump said there are too many illegals coming into the border. Biden went the other way. I think if you say there's a liberal bias in the news, no matter how reasonably you say it, and I hope I said it reasonably, they will take, they will just circle the wagons, put up a brick wall and say, we're not listening to him, he's a conservative.
Starting point is 00:25:23 As if being a conservative is tantamount to being a racist, a misogynist. Right. But it's more about believing what they want to believe. One of my themes here is that you can't persuade some people about anything, no matter how many facts you have, because they believe what they want to believe. That's it. And that's where these CEOs are because when you have a network, NBC is a great example. And that NBC network, that's huge. I mean, that goes across, they got cable, Comcast, they got network, they got everything. There isn't one, not one even moderate conservative that has got any cachet on the network. Not one.
Starting point is 00:26:13 That is by design. It's a culture. And then the other thing is when PBS and NPR got denied their funding, thank God, by the way, I don't want my money going into those operations. Both of the CEOs go, oh, we're not we're not liberal. Hold on, hold on. That's the key point. That's the key point. It's crazy. I don't think I don't think they're lying. I think they're delusional. I think they're lying. You'd have to you and you could not say that'd be like me saying, I'm not Irish.
Starting point is 00:26:46 No, no, that's a different. I'm not Irish. No, no, I'm Scandinavian. Look, you couldn't run an operation the night before Frontline runs an hour and 20 minute documentary, and this is their big doc unit. The other CEO's gotta be aware of it. Okay. An hour and 20 minutes that Trump is his fascist dictator, they use three pro-Trump
Starting point is 00:27:14 people in the hour and 20 minutes and 20 anti-Trump. And you're going to say to the public, we're not biased? I think the problem is this, Bill. They think they can spot a conservative a hundred thousand miles away. The conservative could be hiding behind a brick wall and they'll spot the conservative. But they think, trust me on this, I witnessed this at CBS News. They think they're not liberal. They think they're reasonable. They think they're moderate. Noble. They think they're extreme. Noble is the word you're looking for.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I'll add that to my list. That's the top word. They feel they're noble. So all of the decisions they make to shut out any kind of traditional conservative voice is built on those are bad people, my side of good people. And that's what we're going to do. Last word. Well, you're absolutely right about that. They could you could be this much to the right of center in a newsroom. And by the way, you'd have a tough time finding anybody even this much to the right of center at the New York Times or CBS News.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And they'll spot you as if you had two heads, but you could be this much to the left of center and they don't notice it. It's just you blend in. You blend in. Right. All right. Bernie Goldberg, check his website, bernardgoberg, one word, dot com. Bernie, good to see you. Enjoy the summer. Appreciate it very much. 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,
Starting point is 00:29:05 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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:29:24 subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So Donald Trump's lawsuit against Bob Woodward, Martian Post, has been thrown out. This is an interesting case. So Woodward used a tape recording of Donald Trump that he did for a book. Woodward wrote a book on Trump. I kept telling President Trump, because Woodward's like written four books on him, why are you giving this guy access to you? He's gonna harpoon you. I know the publishing industry. You got to come in and tell the publisher before you get paid what you're gonna do. Everybody knew that Woodward is gonna kill Trump. I said why are you helping him? And he goes, I can persuade him. Anyway that Woodward was going to kill Trump. I said, why are you helping him? And he goes, oh, I can persuade him.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Anyway, Woodward taped the interview for his paper book, his hardback, but then he put the tape out in an audio book. And Trump goes, I didn't give my permission for that. And sued him for $50 million. Then a judge in New York, US District Judge Paul Gardeff threw it out but didn't say Trump was wrong. He said that Trump has got to amend the complaint because of some copyright thing. I don't even know what that is.
Starting point is 00:30:40 But I don't even know if Trump's going to bother anymore with it, but there it is The president calling for the Washington commanders NFL team to go back to its original name the Redskins quote on social media The Washington whatever should immediately change their name back to the Redskins football teams be clamoring for this Like why the Cleveland Indians when six original baseball teams with a storied past. Our great Indian people and massive numbers want this to happen. Heritage procedures systemically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a country of passion, common sense. Owners get it done. So Trump said look commanders, I'm not letting you build a new stadium in DC unless you change the name back.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I thought that the Redskins, I understood the skin redskin thing, but believe me, I've followed the Redskins a long time. They never demeaned Native Americans. Never. Neither did the Cleveland Indians. And it's intent. Come on. That's the woke stuff. All right. In and out burger. You have been there? California got a million of them. I mean, there's a lot of them all over the place. $2.1 billion industry, 418 restaurants. I don't eat junk food, but I did last time I was in California have an in and out cheeseburger? Boy, was it good. Anyway, the CEO, Lindsey Snyder, says she's leaving California. She's out of here. Roll the tape. There's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Doing business is not easy here. Now, the bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California, but it will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there. Out there is Tennessee, Franklin, Tennessee, outside of Nashville, new CEO destination and headquarters of In-N-Out Burger. Hey Gavin Newsom see ya, you know can't operate in California. There you go. Smart Life. So I got a letter about people from somebody who said hey you know the United States owes so much money and personal debt. Americans run up an enormous amount of debt. What about other countries? Presto. Here's the report. So the USA is an average
Starting point is 00:33:06 household debt of $58,000 plus. Okay? It's a lot of money. And that's mortgages and things like that. Then we got the Netherlands, average household debt $53,000 and the Dutch don't earn as much money as we do 45,000 for 33 next is New Zealand. Okay average household debt 44,000 But the average salary is 37,000 you can see Luxembourg little tiny country top of Belgium
Starting point is 00:33:48 You can see Luxembourg, a little tiny country at the top of Belgium, $87,000 debt for the Luxembourg people. They earn a lot of money, $73,000. Sweden next, $45,000 plus debt. They earn $37,000 on average. Switzerland, listen to that. Listen to Switzerland. $125,000 household debt. Whoa, that's a lot of fund due.
