Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Thursday, February 13, 2025, stand up for your country. Robert Kennedy, Jr., confirmed today by the Senate to be the head of the Health and Human Services Department, 1.7 trillion dollar budget a year. Whoa, lots of money. So as you know, I would not have voted to confirm RFK Jr. I don't believe he's qualified to do the job. He's a conspiracy guy. But now that he's qualified, now that he's confirmed, I should say. Let's give him a chance.

I'm a fair man. We'll give him a chance, right? So the vote was 52-48 in the Senate. McConnell, the only dissenter. Same thing with Tulsi Gabbard yesterday. Mitch unlike any of these people because he doesn't like Trump. But here's the big story. It's not RFK Jr. All right. It's Donald Trump, the most powerful president in modern times. Every single senator, with the exception of Mitch McConnell, is at the end of the line. Mitch doesn't care. He's not going to run for reelection. Every single Republican senator and congressperson frightened of Donald Trump. They're not going to vote against him. Because if they do, they could very well be primaried and lose their job on Capitol Hill. Right? So if Trump goes out

and says, hey, I don't like this guy. I'm going to run somebody else against him in a primary. Not good. So therefore, you see the Republican senators, they don't like RFK Jr. I don't think there's any, I don't think there's one Republican senator who likes the man. He's a very far left guy. He's a conspiracy guy. If you look at his personal resume, it's dubious. You know, why would you vote for him? There are thousands of people more qualified to run a giant department like that.

But again, it's over. He's the man. I want two things. I want Bobby Kennedy to do two things. Number one, emphasize that. bad food is killing Americans, particularly sugar. Pound it, pound it, pounded, pounded, just like tobacco. And number two, let's get those Medicare and Medicaid prices down on drugs. Negotiate. Trump's good at that. But he's got to use RFK Jr. to do it, to be the frontman.

You've got to get these drug prices under control. That is so important for the future of this country. Okay, so that's my RFK Jr. Assessment, if you disagree or you want to kick it around, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Talking points memo, Trump and Putin. So yesterday we learned that bad Vlad, and he is bad, he is in my upcoming book, Confronting the Evil, and Vlad is on a cover of the book, along with Hitler, Mao, and the Ayatollahom. meaning. Now, they're not the worst people in that order, but they're in the book. Putin's bad. And where do you see what we've uncovered about him? Anyway, Trump has a working relationship with Putin, and that's smart. I couldn't do it. I couldn't be in the

same room with this killer. I just couldn't. But Trump can. And that's to his credit, because he's the president is to do what's best for America. What's best for America is the Ukraine war to stop. Now remember, Joe Biden, Putin wouldn't even talk to him. Putin was like, who is this guy? I'm not even going to deal with him. And so the Ukrainian war raged out of control, and the United States is kicking $100 million and more over there to support the Ukrainians, as we should. Can't let Putin run wild. But it's got to stop. Okay. So Putin's got to get out of this. This is, according to New York Times, take it for what it's worth. 150,000 Russian soldiers are dead. I don't know whether that's true or not. 500,000 wounded. I think that's a bit high, but I don't know.

So Putin's getting pounded over there as far as casualties are concerned. according to every measure, the Russian economy is going south. It's got to get out. Now, Hexeth is over in Europe, and Hegsafe says, ah, we're not going to do the NATO thing with Ukraine. That was a signal of Putin. That was the signal that Putin was waiting for. Okay.

Ukraine, NATO, not happening. That gives Putin a way out. He saves face. And now the negotiation. begins. Now, I predicted this way, way back, all right, that this was going to happen. May 6th, 2024 go. Trump will govern the same way he governed the first time around. He'll make deal after deal, if to deal, if to deal. I believe that Trump would get Putin to the table on Ukraine. Okay, I believe that. I could be wrong, but based upon his relationship.

relationship with Putin, I think that would happen. Biden's never going to get it. Never going to happen on the Biden. 100% correct. Again, that was last May. Not hard to figure it out. I know President Trump pretty well, and I know his relationship with Putin. That wasn't a hard prediction to make. So last night I was on News Nation with Chris Cuomo and I do that every Wednesday. I do a little and dinner every Monday, and I hope you tune in to watch it. They're very, I think, worthwhile. So Cuomo is worried about this, and he's worried about Zelensky, the president of Ukraine. Go. You know, I mean, supposedly we're going to ask Zelensky to give up land. Why doesn't he have a say? He was invaded. Because he has no power. That's why. It's not the

way the game is played. Zolensky has no power whatsoever. It has to do what the United States tells him to do. Europe wants to seize fire, and Zolensky can't stand by himself. So he'll do what the compromise is. Now, I don't know what the compromise is going to be. I do know no NATO for Ukraine. That's for sure. But on the land, it's probably, yeah, we'll give you this and then we'll have a vote and you know how that that goes down. But why give Putin that kind of difference? Because they want the war to stop and Trump doesn't want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars defending Ukraine. That's why. Now, President Trump says he, will continue to fund Ukraine, and he has to do that because he's got to negotiate with Putin.

And he's going to look at Putin. It's not going to be a cupcake negotiated. And say, look, if you're not going to knock it off, lad, we're going to opt to our aid to Ukraine. We're going to you. That's what Trump's got. Okay, and he'll do it. $175 billion is the number right now that I have of U.S. tax dollars going to Ukraine. It's a lot of money. Are you ready to dare you for your mind?

He can't continue the war without NATO and the United States. And the United States and NATO wanted to stop. So Putin will gain a little bit of territory, but nothing that significant, in my opinion.

Okay. But Trump has another thing on his agenda because it has to have to be a rebuild. So billions of dollars are going to have to go to Ukraine to rebuild it. Roll the tape. Europe is getting security. You know that, right? They're giving their money in the form of a loan. Nobody knows that. And why are we at $350 billion, and Europe, which doesn't separate with an ocean like we do, we have a little thing called an ocean in between.

Why is it that Europe is paying $200 billion less than us to help Ukraine? So there you go. There's a negotiation all around. My prediction is that within a month, there'll be a ceasefire, maybe even sooner. And that's a memo. Attorney General Pam Bondi is suing New York State. She sued Illinois last week. I predicted this as well. Yeah, I'm a little full of myself.

Not really. These predictions aren't that hard. So I told you that once the Trump administration got in, that, you that, you know, that They're going to go after the sanctuary cities and states, and they are. It's exactly what's happening. And I do the same thing. So would you? You can't have states, individual states, going,

ah, we're not going to obey the federal law. Nah, we're not cooperating with migrant deportations. We don't think we're going to do that. Okay. Not doing it? No money. And that's what Bondi is doing. All right, so last year, New York State received about $13 billion.

with the B dollars in the federal government in a form of grants. I don't have the breakdown about Department of Justice grants because that's what Bondi is in charge of, but it's a lot. And it goes to police cars and infrastructure and all that. Well, Bonner says, you know, we're not going to give you any more money until you cooperate with ICE and Homeland Security in our investigations of criminal aliens and the whole situation. We're not giving you, you're not getting any more money. Pause in it. Okay. And in addition, we're suing you because New York State passed a law that is in violation of federal law. And that law is, if you want a driver's license in New York State and you're not a citizen, you can get one. Okay? So you can do the same thing in California and other states, but Bondi zeroing in New York.

So you got to revoke that law. So she's suing Pam Bauer. Bonnie, the Attorney General, Governor, Hockel, and the Attorney General Letitia James. They're hauled in a lawsuit. And believe me, New York State doesn't want this at all. Same thing's going on in Illinois, a little bit different, Bondi's suing Illinois because Chicago flat out says, we're not going to cooperate with ICE on any level. So Bonnie goes, okay, no money, and we're suing Pritzker, the governor, and the mayor of Chicago Goberanda Johnson. Next is Newsom. Hey, Gavin, coming for you. You're next. You got to do it.

You can't have this kind of defying by the individual state so you don't have a federal government anymore. Remember, federal government trumps, pardon the pun, state law. The federal law, Trump's saying, now you can bring in marijuana, you can bring in everything on. Federal government chooses not to enforce the marijuana laws chooses to do because it can't really um and so states passed i have a legalized marijuana even though it's federal level not legal you see what happens but on immigration pam body i knew pam was going to do this okay marquette law school is a poll that's out of Milwaukee Wisconsin not particularly great poll in marquette but interesting to note it And it asked Americans more than 1,000, what they think of Trump's policy so far.

Let's take them one by one. Do you support recognizing only male and female sexes? 63% say, yeah, 37% opposed. So Trump's got that going in his favor. It's a big culture war issue. It has to do with playing on the field, the athletic field. It has to do with facilities, has to do with the military. Most Americans support it.

Number two, would you deport immigrants in the USA if they are here without proper credentials? Okay, favor 60, oppose 40. All right, that makes sense to me. But there's another question that contradicts that, but I'll get to that. Next one, expand oil and gas production in the USA, 60, 40 again. We want more because that drives down a price of food and gasoline. Home heating oil and everything like that. Fourth question, declared an emergency on the southern border, 5941.

Yeah, there is an emergency down there. So most Americans say yes. Deport immigrants in U.S. illegally, including without a criminal record. Now here it gets dicey. So Americans don't want automatic deportation for people. importation for people without criminal records, all right? 57% of 43. And now, next one, take back the Panama Canal, favor 35, oppose 65. So most Americans don't want to be imperialists. They don't want to be Putin. We're not taken back. We're going to get a better deal down there,

and we should. Next question, pardon to January 6th defendants, favor 34, oppose 65, Most of that is violent offenders, I think. I don't think that question was worded very well. And the final one is rename the Gulf of Mexico, favor 29, oppose 71. See, now I'm on the right side of that issue. I told you, when this first came up, there's no reason to do that.

History, it's history. You know, Mexico was a country before the United States was a country. That's why it's called the Gulf of Mexico. So President Trump was a do away the Department of Education because it weighs billions of dollars. And it does. It does.

And I do the same thing. What do we need the Department of Education when US students are ranked 40th in the world, 40th. But we spend the most amount of money on those students. I obviously, we're not getting anything from the Department of Education. But the left, oh no, we're not getting it. We're not going to get the school lunch yet.

No, you let the states educate the way the states want. That's what happens now. You pay property tax, school tax, and the school boards do what they do. I circumvented the whole thing by saying, my kids, a Catholic school where they got a far better education than the public school, and the public school in my town is good. Catholic school is so much better. I mean, you don't even have to be Catholic to go to the Catholic school anymore. okay so see a department of education now that's going to cause a lot of angst but i think in the end

they'll gut it trump will gut it disney getting nervous burbank california so we reported earlier this week that uh working class of poor families can't go up it's too expensive now you may remember i reported uh maybe a year ago that in some of the older disney movies like dumbo and peter pan lady in the tramp, that kind of thing. They had disclaimers. Disney put disclaimers saying, it's racist this and this and that, but the DEI stuff. Scott, gone, they took the disclaimers off, those old movies. Why? Because Disney, just like NBC and CBS, scared of death. Scared of death. Okay. Eggs. So they're up 15% a month. And now people are horrible. importing eggs. It's because of the bird flu. Okay, so 100 million hens died since the bird flu broke

out three years ago. A lot of dead heads, but they're going to come back and eggs will go down. This is temporary. Well, you egg lovers, okay? Paying a lot down, but it's going to come that. Don't panic. What about those astronauts? I'm the only one covering this story. So, Butch Wilmore, 62 years old, and Sonny Williams, 59 years old, went up to space. Supposed to be in space eight days. They've been there eight months. Now NASA says they're going to bring them back, finally, on March 12th to the Earth. This is this. This is kind of a scandal that our space program is so weak, technically, they can't get these two aback.

I think it's a scandal. You know how much money NASA gets? My God. So we gotta tighten this up. But I feel bad for them up there. They have families. They got stuff to do in eight months. Smart lives.

So I got yesterday a scam text. And really, pay attention to this, please, everyone. This is what rolls in to my machine, my device, and it warns me that I have not paid my fair share of EasyPass expenses. Now, right away, I knew this was bogus because EasyPass doesn't do business that way. Okay? Never do business on the Internet, ever. Hello, smart life. Crypto do not do it.

So, I saw this. I knew it was a scam. I didn't open it. If you open it, they got you. The scammers. Because they get personal information. Don't do it. Don't open it.

Okay. So we don't do a lot of celebrity stuff here because I got so many more important things to do. But a friend of mine, Joe Piscopal, you know, I'm Saturday Night Live guy and comedian, very talented guy. I've known him for decades.

And Joe's a good guy. He's got a book out called The Memoirs of a Blue Collar Entertainer. Okay. and I want you to check it out. I read a book very, very entertaining. Now, Piscopo was on Saturday Night Live with Eddie Murphy. We're going to talk about that in a moment. But he also does a radio program out of New Jersey,

and he makes live appearances, and his big thing is Frank Sinatra. Roll it. Start spreading the news. I'm leaving. today i want to be a part of it new york new york anyway pisgobo loves frank i'm a little on you know but no doubt frank sinatra one of the best entertainers in the world if you don't know them very well because younger people don't you know you go to check it out the guy was a stylist anyway piscipo nailed them and

make some nice living, doing comedy, and Sinatra. I talked to him yesterday, which is why you're going to see a change of outfit for me. And the most important thing you to know about Piscopal is he's a good guy, roll it. Joining us now from New Jersey is the aforementioned Joe Piscopo. Now, the reason I wanted to talk to you about your book, and I read the book, Memoirs of a Blue Collar Entertainer, It's because your background and my background are almost identical, except for the fact that I am so much luckier to be Irish than Italian. That's the big difference.

Now, we were raised in the same era, in the same environment of working class, ethnic homes, Catholic, lots of kids all over the place. Now, when I go back to my Levittown home, the people, the older people who are still there, they're looking at me and going, how come you're not in jail? They don't, because I was such a ridiculous kid. They don't know how I succeeded. Is it the same for you? Yeah, it is. You know, and I smack myself every day.

I'm great to see you, Bill, my friend. I tell you, because I got kicked out of school eight times, eight times, and I almost made the record, but Henry Menardsick got nine times, and so he's ahead of me at West Essex High School, you know? What was I thinking? We had the best parents, I had the best parents, you know, took care of me. I was still a wise guy, you know, and yes, I always thought if it wasn't for my parents, I'd be working for some guy with a vowel at the end of his name in Brooklyn. What am I going to tell you? You know, I got out of line, but I don't know how I did it. but by the grace of God and my dear parents, Bill.

It took me six years to become comfortable in front of the camera. I wasn't a natural performer, and I didn't know what I wanted to do to my early 20s. It wasn't like you. I was a high school teacher out of college, and then I said, you know, I'm pretty good writer. Let me pursue that. Now, your big break was 1980. You show up on Saturday Night Live. Not an easy gig to get because you were coming off Chevy Chase, Belushi, Akroyd, Radner,

all of these legends, and they hire you. Then you team up with Eddie Murphy. Now Murphy's a Long Island guy, and I'm going, Piscopo Murphy. What was it that struck that friendship? Yeah, it's a great question, Bill. And I could only tell you when I first met him, I was hired.

They bought me up to the 17th floor at NBC to meet this new kid that was coming in. And I knew Richie Tinkin and Bob Wax, and these managers, but I didn't know Eddie because I was at the Improvisation Comedy Club where I came up. That was Hell's Kitchen, 44th and 9th. There was Catcher Rising Star,

that was a little more upscale, and then there was a comic strip just coming in. These are the comedy clubs. Long Island may as well have been Idaho to us because we just knew Manhattan. So now I didn't know Eddie, I didn't even hear of Eddie, but as soon as they introduced me, and they said, this is Eddie Murphy,

and there was this young kid 19 years, And he's sitting down soon as you meet Eddie. I think everybody felt that way. But I don't know what it was. We just connected. There were laughs. There was comfort. There was a comfort zone.

We were just very similar. And we just connected right there, right that second. And then they asked us, would you do a sketch? Joe, would you audition any for us like that? So they took the word association sketch that Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor did, Bill, which was like, you could never do it now. It's where, you know, Chevy. By the N-word and that kind of stuff.

Oh, my gosh. And prior did it. So now we got the suits in front of us, and I start to read the sketch. Eddie's doing the prior part. Of course, I'm doing the Chevy part. And Eddie just nailed it. Bill, it was like, and I went, wow, man. And now, at that point, I worked with Robin Williams and Rodney Dangerfield

and Andy Kaufman and Robert Klein and everybody at the improvisation. I met everybody. This kid was like, I've never seen anything like it kind of thing. And I said, wow. No race stuff between you, no black, white stuff? Yeah, no, no race stuff. It was just the script. We stuck with the script.

No, no, I mean in person, though, once you got to know him, none of that? Never even felt it. Never thought it. The only time it was about, that's why I don't understand. And if you go to Ebony and Ivory, it closes with I am, I am white, you were black, I am white, and who cares. We never saw color. I never saw color. I just never did.

Heavenly and ivory, just living in perfect harmony. We're talking salt and pepper, Sammy and Dean, Stevie and me are Peachy King. You are white. You are black, and the who cares. Who cares, baby? You're going back to SNL 50 over the weekend, a big show. show, three-hour show. Is Eddie going to be there? Murphy's showing up? Because I know you're still friends, right? Yeah, I see, when you see each other, absolutely, but I hear he's going to be there.

He's going in. And 10 years ago, and I can't remember how I got the word, but I got the word that I was going to do, I did a little bit. I'm not hearing anything now, so I'm kind of a spectator. They do a big concert, by the way, at Radio City on Friday, I think that's okay to talk about. And then Saturday night is the three-hour, and everybody's going to, everybody's going to be there. And I hear Eddie's going to be there. You never know. Because it's going to be live as life could be, so you never know.

But it's always good to see him. You know what's funny you do? And I know you must have friends from a hundred years ago. And then you do one little look. You do one little sound. You do one little nuance. And then it, you know, cracks the other person up like that. Right.

I remember. Yeah. And it's kind of fun like that. So I'm looking forward to it. But it's kind of like your high school reunion where you're kind of like, you know, a little tepid, little tepid, but, you know, I'm going to go back. I'm going to go back with respect and grateful. Hey, man, you know, with my politics, I'm lucky I got invited at all, Bill O'Reilly.

Well, no, no, no, no, no. Everybody likes me, and I'm going to say, you don't have to say anything. Everybody likes Piscopo. I don't know. Anybody doesn't like you because you're a good guy, good sense of humor. You're not looking at top anybody. You don't have the jealousy thing going on, you know, so everybody will be happy to see you. And I, my son, I went to a Yankee game with Piscoa a few years ago.

My son was a little bit younger, obviously. And he still remembers that night. He's still, because he knows, you know, they watch the young kids now watch the tapes of you and Murphy and all those skits. They'll live on forever. So he always asked about you because you were nice to him, you know. I remember, like yesterday, you had the great seats. I had great seats and I was behind you, man. I was very impressed as it should be, as it should be.

You know, I said, we were my buddy Mitchell Maudel, and I snored off of Mitchell's seats. And I look, and there's O'Reilly man up there. But you know what I loved about you? You're a great father. God bless you for that. I appreciate that. And so are you. You got four urchins, and so are you.

The book is Memoirs of a Blue Collar Entertainer, Joe Piscopo, well worth your time. Hey, Joe, we'll see you soon, I hope. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for blazing the path for those of us doing media. We love you, man. God bless you and thank you, sir. Okay, this day in history, fascinating story. February 13th, 1953.

So it was the height of the Cold War. I mean, it was really nasty. United States had the atom bomb. We used it in Japan, as you all know. And if you really want to know about that, you read, killing the rising sun. I'm I'm doing

to my family because we go to Burlington for the event of liquidation candidate. We're going

now to find the best of the best of the best from the house and

much more with offers overoffertas I can go back day to be how to

I'm sorry the liquidation because it's very very hot because it's really Burlington

Marks Rebaughes Wow You set the table put on a playlist even made

the lasagna from scratch. And now you're wearing it. OxyClean Maxforce spray tackles tough, set in stains the first time. Adulting is hard. Fighting stains shouldn't be. OxyClean Max Force. It's not clean unless it's OxyClean. Soviet's Joe Stalin.

He was in confronting evil. Boy, what an evil. S.L.B. He was trying to get the atom bomb. Two Americans help him. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, New Yorkers. Now, Julius Rosenberg was a communist, hard-core communist, and he had a relative working in New Mexico at the atomic site, okay? And he got information, he passed it along to the Soviet Union. His wife, Ethel, nobody knows how much she really knew, but both were convicted of treason and given the death sentence.

72 years ago today, Popeius II appealed to President Eisenhower and said, please don't execute them, life in prison, but clemency on the execution front. Eisenhower said no, because he had to send a message, and they were both executed. Julius went out, Sing Sing Prison, New York, quick. Ethel had to be bolted four times before she was dead. Now, the evidence against Ethel, not nearly what it is against her husband, Julius, but you've got to figure that she knew what was going on. I don't have a lot of sympathy for these two.

They hurt the whole world. Now, probably Russia and China would have gotten those bombs anyway, but the Rosenbergs are traitors. And the Pope didn't get his clemency 72 years ago today. All right, final thought is about Pope Francis against the founding fathers of the United States. I have uncovered this. It is unbelievable back in a moment. So it's the final thought of the day.

I'm going to write a column on Sunday, and we'll post it early in the morning. And it's about Pope Francis issuing a statement about migration. And we all know that the Pope, as he should be, is very sympathetic to the poor and disenfranchised migrants all over the world. He should be that if he's a leader of the Catholic Church, which is founded on helping the the poor and the downtrodden. That's what Jesus did. Okay. But the Pope's posture in writing puts him opposite the founding fathers of the United States.

I'm going to prove that to you. So it goes back to killing the witches, my book, Killing the Witches. This is so fascinating to me because I know I'm a pinhead and I'm caught up at all his history stuff. I know that, but Benjamin Franklin witnessed, as a teenager in Boston, the atrocities. He didn't see them himself, but he knew the chief witch hunter, Cotton Mather. And I write about this in killing a witching. Franklin was so appalled by the executions of those 20 people in Salem that he carried that into the Constitution discussions in Philadelphia, that we can't have a theocracy.

here. We have to have, you know, a secular country, which we do. Anyway, the founding fathers put into place a system whereby Americans are free to pursue happiness. Okay, keep that phrase pursuit of happiness. That clashes with what the Pope is saying. It's really fascinating. So I'm going to write the column. I want you all to read it and give me some feedback on it. And it's not like there's a right and a wrong, a villain, and a hero. It's two different visions of pursuing happiness.

It's fascinating. So I like the Pope. I've told you I like the Pope. I think he's naive. I don't think he takes into account the damage. That anarchy, not only in the migrant area, but anarchy across the board, causes people who are trying to lead productive lives. If it's anarchy, that's going to set you back. And that's part of what the Founding Fathers knew.

You can't have anarchy. Can't have any law you want. Can't have, oh, we have federal law on immigration, but we're not going to enforce it. New York, Illinois, California, Boston, can't have it because people get hurt by that. Fascinating. I think I'm the only one in the country doing this, but I want to give you a heads up that it's coming on bill o'Reilly.com Sunday, this coming Sunday, and we will see you again on Monday for the No Spin News.
