Starting point is 00:01:19 Stand up for your country. Very interesting speech by President Trump at the UN this morning. So he's on his way in with Melania. and the escalator stops working okay then he gets to the forum and the teleprompter breaks down and you can just see trump just reinforces his opinion that the entire united nations thing is amateur hour trump has no use for this crew at all and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. All right. So he goes to the UN and he's got a speech that lasts 55 minutes, pretty long. And he wanted to make a few points. The biggest point is that the United
Starting point is 00:02:15 Nations is useless because it's run by one world leftists. That was the overarching point for all the nations. Look, we in the United States, I'm paraphrasing President Trump, we know who you are. And you're not in the business to help calm wars down or do anything other than promote leftist ideology. That was what Mr. Trump wanted to get across. Okay? It's appropriate. You make up your mind on it. But that's what he wanted to do. Now, he began by talking about U.S. politics. Now, he knows, you know, I know, nobody in that room gives a wit about U.S. politics.
Starting point is 00:03:06 But Donald Trump cannot help himself. He can't roll a tape. And here are the United States four years of weakness, lawlessness, and radicalism under the last administration delivered our nation into a repeated set of disaster. One year ago, our country was in deep trouble. But today, just eight months into my administration,
Starting point is 00:03:34 we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close. Okay. Did that impress anybody at the United Nations? No. Is it true? Maybe. Certainly we are the most powerful economic engine in the world. There's no doubt about it. that. And if all of Donald Trump's policies are successful, we are going to be much stronger than we were before he came into office a second time. I think those two things are true.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I know they're true. Now, Donald Trump is frustrated because he doesn't get credit overseas or in the United States for solving conflicts. He says he stopped seven wars. That's true, to some extent. I mean, each situation is different, but he put the arm on 14 different countries and said, you better knock it off or we'll punish you. The United States will punish you. That's a pretty big incentive to knock it off. And then he sweetens it up.
Starting point is 00:04:42 You know, if you stop the fighting, we'll do this, we'll do that. That's how Trump deals, okay? But Trump is angry because nobody publicizes that. And the United Nations didn't help him. Go. But later I realized that the United Nations wasn't there for us. They weren't there. I thought of it really after the fact, not during,
Starting point is 00:05:08 not during these negotiations, which were not easy. That being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential. I've always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous potential. but it's not even coming close to living up to that potential. Now, that is a scolding of the U.N. The individual countries sitting there, they don't care.
Starting point is 00:05:38 UN officials probably care, but what are they going to do? Now, in Ukraine, which is obviously the biggest issue right now overseas, Trump was, he didn't spend a lot of time on. He only mentioned Putin's name once, because he's still hopeful that he can somehow maneuver bad Vlad into stopping the mass killing for no reason. Why is he doing this? All right?
Starting point is 00:06:05 So he dealt with Ukraine by scolding our allies, American allies. Go. China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil. but inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy. Think of it. They're funding the war against themselves.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Who the hell ever heard of that one? In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly. But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures. Okay. And now is it for Ukraine. Now, the countries that buy Russian oil at this point are Turkey, Hungary, Slovakia, France. Boy, that's bad.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Belgium and Spain. That's a scandal. I would have mentioned those countries if I were Donald Trump, because they are enabling Putin to continue his murderous spree. Then Trump switched to one of his favorite topics, migration. And he says that all over the world, not the United States, just the United States, that the illegal immigration situation is badly damaging established countries. Roll a tape on that. According to the Council of Europe in 24, almost 50% of inmates
Starting point is 00:08:08 in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants in Austria. The number was 53% of the people and prisons were from places that weren't from where they are now. In Greece, the number was 54%. And in Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland. Okay, those stats seem to be accurate. And migration is on President Trump's mind. So it's global warming, which he considers a major. scam. Now, global warming has been embraced by Western Europe and the United Nations. Billions, probably trillions, has been spent on alternative energies. Trump sees a big con roll of tape. Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I've been right about everything. And I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail. And if you don't stop people that you've never seen before that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Theroux, the only dealer I'm not. trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-75-76 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576-5-76 or text bill to 9988-99.
Starting point is 00:10:32 No newspaper is more iconic than The New York Post, so why not start your day with me telling you our best stories? I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Postcast. Every weekday morning, I'll break down the headlines that matter to you and the stories you're going to want to talk to your friends about. It's a mix of politics, business, pop culture, basically everything you expect from the New York Post. 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. All right, so those are the strongest points. To review, didn't really attack Putin or China. And right after the speech on social media, President Trump released the schedule to meet with she.
Starting point is 00:11:19 So that's going to take place around Halloween at the Economic Conference in Seoul, South Korea. They'll meet face-to-face. And Trump did not want to antagonize. That's the right word, Putin or she in this speech. He could have lambasted both of them. Okay? But he didn't. He did for a reason that he's, and I concur on China. I think the Chinese are going to make a deal with us. It's going to be very helpful for the world. I think. Putin is, as I said, and if you read my book Confronting Evil, my God, the guy is just a psychopath now. And the kicker on it is that in order to stop Putin, Trump's got to convince China to pull up. away from him. That is the key. They might be able to do it. All right. As far as Gaza and the Middle East, touched upon it a little bit. 157 countries say they want to recognize a
Starting point is 00:12:28 Palestinian state, but there is no Palestinian state to recognize. I'm sitting there going, okay, it's all right with me, you want to recognize a Palestinian state, but go ahead, try to find them. Hamas runs Gaza as Bula runs the West Bank. We're going to negotiate with terrorists, and that's what Trump says. If you prop up a Palestinian state, this is a reward to Hamas. That's why the USA won't do it. I might handle it a little bit differently if I were president, but I have no objection because it's true. The terrorists control the Arab presence around Israel. There's nobody else. So you can recognize anybody you want, but see if they return your phone call because there's no phones and there's no building. And that's the memo.
Starting point is 00:13:26 all right there's a free speech update so yesterday disney announced jimmy kimball's coming back he'll be on air tonight we will cover tomorrow next star and sinclair broadcasting 62 62 ABC affiliates aren't taken kimmel that's death and the ratings for him but he'll get a big night tonight people will look in reports are he's not going to apologize i don't know what he's going to do um i'll farm this out for my producers to watch? Maybe if I'm up, I might tune in, but we'll report honestly and accurately tomorrow. ABC is a big loser here. The Disney Corporation, they're evaporating right before our eyes. Is there one person in the 77 million who voted for Donald Trump liking the Walt Disney Company? One?
Starting point is 00:14:26 And the reason they folded Disney is because the ACLU wrote a letter that was signed by 400 entertainment people. Here's a partial list. Rosie O'Donnell, Maya Rudolph, Tom Hanks, Merrill Streep, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Robert De Niro, Natalie Portman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Fond. The usual suspects on the left saying that Kimmel is a victim and freedom of speech is a violation. None of those people, by the way, care that Kimmel didn't put on. a non-liberal voice on his program for three years. That's a real assault on freedom of speech. As I said over and over, so I'm not going to belabor it.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But, you know, these people live in a bubble world out there in Hollywood. I've got to deal with some of them. I'm respectful, but I know what it is. Turning Point USA is against Kimmel's return. They have not issued a statement about it per se, but they've made it clear that they don't think he should be broadcasting. for ABC. Okay, let's go over to
Starting point is 00:15:29 vengeance. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, part of the Bible, right? But Donald Trump has intruded on that a little bit. So he wants to get his enemies, no doubt about it, you want to be honest,
Starting point is 00:15:46 and we do, of course. So there are three cases against people that Donald Trump despises. One is Senator Schiff in California. The other is the U.R. Attorney General, Letitia James, and then final, a former FBI director, James Comey. There they are. All three have tortured Donald Trump, tried to destroy him and his family, and now Trump is coming after them. So there was a U.S. attorney in Virginia, Eric Seibert, who was in charge of James and Comey. And Trump fired him.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Apparently, he wasn't moving fast enough or didn't want to move or something. I don't know exactly what Mr. Seiber did wrong, but he's fired, replaced by Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, 36 years old from Colorado. She worked in Florida with the president. She is the new attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Now, again, she's going to do what Donald Trump suggests, but she can't manufacture evidence. She can't, but she can't aggressively investigate. These things are very murky.
Starting point is 00:17:07 So Adam Schiff, he apparently has a house in Maryland that he's not doing. He's saying that he lives there, but he doesn't live there. And Letitia James, the same thing. She has a house in Virginia, and she said it was her primary residence, but it's not a primary residence. And Comey, it's all about lying about the Russian collusion investigation. Those are the three charges that are swirling. All right. So on Adam Schiff, here's what President Trump said.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I stay out of it purposely, but it's mortgage loan fraud. It's a big deal. He defrauded banks and insurance companies in the United States. the federal government. But it's very simple. It's mortgage loan fraud. And you're right, that's a lot of people to live in a one-bedroom apartment, right? But he put it down. But he has a lot of other things far worse than that. So, no, Adam Schiff, they have him 100% on mortgage fraud. Well, I don't know whether they have 100% because he would be indicted then, but that's a Maryland play. As far as Letitia James, it's kind of the same.
Starting point is 00:18:19 situation with a mortgage deal. Roll it. Well, I don't know what it is currently, but Letitia James, who's the Attorney General of New York State, it seemed, I'm not involved in that at all. I know it's being handled by various groups, I guess, but it's major fraud mortgage documents and fraudulent everything. All right. So, I mean, he says he's not involved, but Donald Trump's monitoring, as you know he is. And joining us now from Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma under Donald Trump in his first term, Trent Shores. Why do you think Eric Seiberd in Virginia was fired? Listen, when you sign up to be a United States attorney, you serve at the pleasure of the
Starting point is 00:19:11 president. So you know going into that job that you may be forced into situations. where you have to make a decision. In this case, I don't know that we publicly know enough facts to know why Mr. Cybert was removed from his position, but that is a power that the president enjoys. He is the leader of the executive branch. He can set priorities. He can give direction. The one thing that the president doesn't do, as he knows, is make charging decisions.
Starting point is 00:19:44 That ultimately is left up to the United States of the United States. attorney and to the officials at DOJ. Okay, but you have to assume that Cybert was reporting to Pam Bondi, the attorney general, and Pam Bonney was reporting to Trump, and Trump did not like the way this investigation was being handled. I mean, that's 100%, right? Yeah, I don't know that we know it's 100% that the president didn't like how the investigation was being handled.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I think what the president is wanting, our charges brought. sooner. He believes that based on what he knows, it certainly seems that he thinks there is a case that is provable, beyond a reasonable doubt. We have to remember, we don't know what evidence, Mr. Seiber, or his team of investigators, have a symbol. But there is no question that there is an investigation ongoing. A mortgage fraud case, Bill, it's a white collar case. These aren't always quick or swift investigations. They're document-laden and intensive. So it could be that they just haven't reached an ultimate conclusion yet whether to bring charges. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Well, I think that is the case. But Cybert was displeasing President Trump because he's one out of what? How many U.S. attorneys are there? There's hundreds across the country. And he's singled out for a firing. Now, when you were the U.S. attorney in Oklahoma, what did you have to do on high-profile cases? Did you have to call Bill Barr, the Attorney General?
Starting point is 00:21:21 Did you have to keep him up to speed? How does that work? Sure. That's a great question because a lot of folks don't know. You are empowered as a presidentially appointed and Senate-confirmed United States Attorney to make those tough calls. But again, you don't do so in isolation. We look to the Justice Manual, which is our sort of insider handbook that provides us guidelines and policies. and when you have a high-profile case like that,
Starting point is 00:21:49 you are going to coordinate, of course, with the Office of the Attorney General. In my case, that was Bill Barr and that was Jeff Sessions. You're also going to work closely with the Deputy Attorney General to ensure that what you're doing is in accordance with department policy. Yeah, and they want to know, too. So when Trump asks them or Biden or whatever president, they can say this is where it is, this is how they're going,
Starting point is 00:22:14 and this is the odds of an indictment on and on and on. But I would assume that there are some U.S. attorneys that get cases they don't like. And they kind of slow walk it, right? I don't know that there are U.S. attorneys, in my experience, Bill, that will slow walk a case if they have been presented with their job by that particular president. I don't think any prosecutor becomes a prosecutor because they don't want to prosecute. cases. But what about the politics of it? I mean, you know, not, I wouldn't say in Oklahoma, that would be a major factor where you are, but certainly in Washington, D.C., my God, there's
Starting point is 00:22:56 politics and everything there. So this guy's cyberd, if his whole world is, you know, anti-Trump, which is absolutely possible, and he doesn't want to really bring charges against Comey and who he probably knows, right? Come me, I have to know him. And James, then he's kind of kind of like, well, you know, you know how it goes. You can peddle to the medal or you can just give it to your 15th guy, right? Listen, there's no doubt that it's a political appointment, but I think you see that U.S. attorneys that do the job well follow where the evidence leads. And that's not always politically convenient. At the same time, there is no problem with the attorney general or even the president himself expressing that they hope their prosecutors, their U.S. attorneys are more
Starting point is 00:23:49 aggressive. Looking at Mr. Cybert's case in the Eastern District of Virginia, he has to make a determination, one, whether he has the evidence to satisfy the elements of the crime to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. And two, he has to look at who's going to be in his jury pool there in the Eastern District of Virginia. And I think those present challenges potentially to bringing a case that has this perception, as it's been presented by mainstream media, that it's a political prosecution, even if it's not. All right. So you're suggesting that Mr. Seiber may have gotten shafted on this. I'm not saying you got shaffed.
Starting point is 00:24:24 No, I know you're not saying it, but you're saying you're leaving open the possibility that he was doing his job in an honest way, and he got whacked because Trump wanted it done faster. Sure. I think that's possible. This idea of justice delayed is justice tonight, is not a foreign concept in our system. But yes, Mr. Seiber had choices in front of him, and it appears that when you serve at the pleasure of the president, as is the case in any administration,
Starting point is 00:24:52 that you may face choices that could result in you needing to step away from your job. All right. We appreciate it, Counsel. Thanks very much for helping us out. I think that he was honest. And every president has certain cases that they're very, interested in and they want specific updates and if you don't give it to them you're gone and that's just the way the system works okay I hesitate to tell you about
Starting point is 00:25:22 Congresswoman and Jasmine Crockett from Texas but I'm gonna do it because there's a big point a much more important point she doesn't matter she wants to be aOC she wants to be famous she knows she gets famous by attacking President Trump in ways that are over the top, so she gets attention on social media. We all know what the game is. In my opinion, she's not looking out for the people in her district. She's trying to build a fame quotient.
Starting point is 00:25:57 This is Jasmine Crockett. Okay, so she's a big Trumpist Hitler person. That's what she is. Now, if she would like to sit across from me, and we'll invite her, to discuss confronting evil and the chapter on Hitler, which is stuff you have no idea about, I would be happy to do that, because I know a lot about the Third Reich, and I don't believe Jasmine Crockett knows anything about it. But I could be wrong. Maybe she is a German scholar. Okay. So she appears on CNN, of course, and she's still spouting this radical,
Starting point is 00:26:40 progressive point of view. Roll the tape. But do you have a responsibility as an elected official, not to raise the temperature, but rather lower the temperature, particularly when there are people out there who listen to elected officials all over the place, who are not well, who use that as a way to instigate the political violence that you are calling out? I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And the reality is that we are living in a time and which this administration and this regime is not interested in making sure the people understand history. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language. When we see the consolidation of power, when we see them trying to chill speech of jokesters, when we're seeing all of this, that is a playbook out of Hitler and I won't deny it. Like these are the facts. No, it's not. So if you were a dissent, of the Third Reich after 1933, you weren't removed from your job.
Starting point is 00:27:48 You were either killed or put in a concentration camp. Dachau was the first one. Though it wasn't like you got a call from the Reich chancery in Berlin saying, hey, dragged Jimmy Kimmel off the air. No.
Starting point is 00:28:08 That's not what the third Third Reich did. They marched some Gestapo agents into the television studio. TV wasn't even invented them, but let's say radio. And they grabbed the guy and threw him in a car. Miss Crockett. Okay, that's what the Third Reich was under Adel Fittler. And no comparison to what the United States is. None. Got it, lady? I'll give you a hundred. I'll give you a hundred. hundred more. I know I'm being disrespectful, but she doesn't deserve to be respected. Jasmine Crockett, because she's not looking out for her people. She's not looking out for her district. What good does it is? What good does her radical, progressive profile do the Texans
Starting point is 00:29:00 in her district? What? Media Madness. Pete Hegsa. now you know i did not think that was a good appointment i don't know him but i know about him and now he is telling the people who cover the pentagon 90 reporters that they can no longer gather or report information even if it's not classified unless it's been authorized for release by the federal government so if you get a story Somebody tells you a story that you corroborate about the Pentagon, say how much it paid for constructing a bathroom on a submarine, that you can't report the story unless Pete Higgis says you can.
Starting point is 00:30:00 No. This is a direct violation of the Constitution. Now, that is where Crockett should be. going. That is wrong. And President Trump knows it. Roll the tape. Does the Pentagon be in charge of deciding what reporters can report on? Yeah, I don't do, sir. Are you okay? Are you doing that? Listen, nothing stops reporters. You know what I'm glad he said that. Now, Mr. Heg-Seth, I don't know why he did it. Okay, I'm kind of surprised.
Starting point is 00:30:40 surprise because the Supreme Court would slap that down in 10 seconds, I don't believe that Mr. Higseth will be in the federal government this time next year. Maybe, sir. That's not good. Kamala Harris is making the liberal media rounds, promoting a new book. She's on MS last night. Talk about the power being with the people and the people making that. clear with their checkbooks as it relates to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. We saw the power of the people over the last few days, and it spoke volumes, and it moved a decision in the right direction. I think that part of where we are now in terms of thinking about what the fight is, it requires us, yes, to understand that we've got this administration
Starting point is 00:31:35 and this president in front of us abusing the power that the people vested in. him with. But we also need to understand that this is bigger than Donald Trump. What a bunch of who we. It wasn't the power of the people that moved Disney. It was the entertainment industry through the talent brokers
Starting point is 00:31:53 which told Disney, we're not going to do business with you. So 400 as we pointed out, signed an ACLU letter and Disney panic going, oh, we're not going to be able to hire actors or writers or producers. Everybody didn't hate us. We don't want them. It wasn't the people.
Starting point is 00:32:10 most of people couldn't care less with a Jimmy Kimmel was on the air or not all right those are the people the people rose up yeah okay just shows you how limited um the intellect is in those circles final thought of the day as you may have heard big and i mean big three american show at the kennedy center in washington dc on october 5th So this is going to be broadcast live on News Nation and the CW network. They're taking out the car racing, and they're putting in Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo, and me, your humble correspondent. It's going to be a good show. Now, tickets are limited in the Kennedy Center. All right. So if you go to the News Nation website, I guess newsstation.com, and you put Kennedy or something in the upper right corner,
Starting point is 00:33:10 you'll get how you can get tickets uh to the show october 15th washington dc kennedy center three americans you will like it live broadcast all over and uh i've seen the lineup uh a guess and quite something so we're going to have a lot of laughs but it's going to be discussing serious things. The three Americans concept, as you know, is very, as President Trump would say, hot. It's a very hot concept. Maybe the hottest concept in the world. Probably not, but I would love to see you there in the Kennedy Center in D.C. on October 15th. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
