Adela O'Reilly here. Welcome to the NOSBN News for Monday, March 2nd, 2020, stand up for your country. I don't know why anybody was surprised. When Saturday morning, the announcement came that U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Why would you be surprised? I mean, for weeks, President Trump was saying, look, we want to make a deal with these people. They got to stop their nuclear research, and they have to downgrade their ballistic missile capacity. And if they don't, then we're going to have to force him to do that. How many times the man have to say that?

And then, oh, it shows you how distracted many people on this planet and in this country are. They don't know what the deuce is happening. And don't believe the polls, there's a bunch of polls out, snap polls after, oh, we're a poll. These people who are being queried don't know anything. And then, you know, I hate to be. supercilious about this word of the day.

But they, you know, you're talking to people who have no idea about why things happen or even what's happening because they don't consume information. They live in a bubble, which is becoming an increasing problem for the world. And the totalitarians love that. The less you know, the more they like it. Okay. Let's go to the talking points memo about it. on. This is very important that you guys understand the big picture here. And again, if you disagree

or want to know more, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, please. All right. So President Trump made brief remarks today, said that the military missions ahead of schedule. I don't know what that means. You know, I do know that the Pentagon which is really in charge of the operation. President Trump's in charge, but the Pentagon's calling the shots, want to downgrade the ballistic missile situation whereby Iran would not be able to fire missiles at Israel or any of the Arab countries they don't like or anybody else.

So that may take some time to locate all of those missiles and blow them up. In the meantime, the allies, allies, and there's just two of them, Israel and the USA, are after the people who are murdering the Iranian protesters, the people who want freedom. So they are being hunted. And I understand about 50 of them have already been eliminated, including the top mullah, as you know. Okay, they're all conferring with Allah, even as we speak. Now, four Americans are dead in Kuwait. I spent some time in Kuwait in the First Gulf War reporting. A huge base over there for the USA.

Some things went wrong, but this isn't a concentrated effort on the Iranian part to kill American soldiers. I'm sure they'd like to, but they don't have the capacity to do it, which is pretty shocking if you think about it. I mean, here you have these mullahs threatening to blow up America and Israel. They can't even get a plane off the ground. I think, they got one off and Oman shot it out of the air. They don't have the capacity to wage this kind of war. They can build roadside bombs. They can blow up women and children. That's not hard. But to wage war against powerful military machines like the USA and Israel, they can't. That's important that you know that. This is all bluster. This is all BS. They cannot launch any effective

resistance to what America is doing. Very important. They can do is mobilized terrorism. And that is President Trump's biggest challenge. Because you got a lot of people here who are sympathetic to the jihad. Thank you, Joe Biden. Okay, they're here.

And one of them acted out in Austin, Texas. Two dead down there, a bunch wounded. The guy's dead, but it looks like this guy was tied into the jihad. He's from Senegal. Anyway, it's political now, as everything is. So this is another important thing. The most important thing you have to understand today is Iran has no capacity to defend itself. And the United States is going to take full advantage of that

and try to get a new regime in there. I don't know, nobody knows. whether that'll be successful. And it's up to the Persian people. Second thing you need to know is the Democratic Party is going to oppose everything that Donald Trump does. It doesn't matter. The cliche is cure cancer they'd oppose it.

It's true. Now, Senator John Federman and a few congresspeople, including my congressman here on Long Island, Tom Swazi, they've supported the Iranian action. But by and large, the Democratic Party and their media enabling, the corporate media, will oppose everything that Donald Trump does. Now, it makes them look stupid, and we'll demonstrate that in the moment, but they don't really care about that.

So tomorrow, Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hague, C.I. Director Ratcliffe, and General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, are going to brief House and Senate members about where we are. So that'll take place tomorrow in the late afternoon. And it's classified. So it'll leak, of course, because unfortunately, members of our Congress don't respect classified information anymore. But I don't expect anything big there. A very unexpected thing happened, though. Kamala Harris condemned the action.

Roll it. Donald Trump has dragged us into a war the American people do not want. He has put American troops in harm's way. I unequivocally oppose this war of choice and everyone should. All right, now just keep this in perspective now. This is important. Maris is entitled to her opinion. But as vice president, she sat on her butt for four years.

and watched as the Biden administration released billions of dollars to Iran that were frozen, money that was frozen because of sanctions. Biden released the money, gave it to the mullahs, and the mullahs turned around and financed Azbulah, Hamas, October 7th, the hoodies, and whatever other terror groups they could follow. That's what happened in the Biden-Harris administration. She's never, ever answered for that. Wooned, can't. I don't even know if she knows it. I don't have much regard for Kamala Harris's intellect. But now she's condemning it.

Okay. So you, lady, I'm sorry to be disrespectful, were vice president when an American administration for four years empowered Mullahs in Iran to kill people, including Americans. That's what you did and said nothing. You said nothing. Even in your campaign, you didn't repudiate it. It's real, I mean, this is the kind of stuff that gets me crazy. Okay. Now, the War Powers Act. I'm tired of it. It's not going anywhere.

They've tried it and tried it and tried it to say, to demand that the President of the United States before any military action gets approval from Congress. You cannot wage war in that fashion. So I was Soleimani. If you read Killing the Killers, My Book, you understand that the Trump administration wiped out. the head of the Iranian National Guard, as well as ISIS, continuing the Obama policy, without congressional approval. Okay, that's what happened.

And it's all we got our war powers, reservoirs, war powers this, it'll never pass the Senate. You need 60 votes, not happening. So you can run around on the talk shows, all you want, screaming, war powers this, war powers that, and it's going nowhere. You want to waste your time watching these shows? Up to you. The United States has not declared a war since World War II. That means Korea, three years, Vietnam, six years, these were undeclared wars. Okay? And the presidents did what they wanted to do, Truman and Johnson and Nixon.

That's pretty stunning. So what the left wants is that Trump would have to walk in and say, yeah, on Saturday I'm going to go bomb Iran so that Iran can prepare for the attack. Does that make any sense to you? Now, debriefings, okay, not mass. I would have called in a couple, head of the Armed Services Committee, that kind of thing. classified, know who they are, so they can be arrested if they violate the Classified Information Act.

Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Hubline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada. Okay.

I would have given him, but Trump gave everybody a heads up, as I said in the beginning of the memo. All right, War Powers Act, God drive me nuts. United Nations are totally useless. Totally useless. Here is the Secretary General. Go. Military action carries the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region. of the world.

Let me be clear, there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Lusting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations. Yeah, well, you've done a really great job, 9-11, October 7, you're really doing a good job. The United States is really effective. You guys can't even go to Haiti and pacify it.

pacify it. You can't even pacify Haiti. Oh, the negotiation. How long have you been going on with the Muller's in 1979, worldwide sponsored terrorism? What the UN do? Zero. Kamala Harris should be the Secretary General of the UN. Nothing. Oh, no, don't, a waste of time. 100%. The only thing that agency does that's any good is medical vaccinations for children as far as I can see. That's it. The Pope, Leo.

Okay. Roll it. Peace is not built with threats and arms. It generally result in destruction death, but only through reasonable dialogue. There's also authentic and responsible. Now, I don't have a beef with the Pope. That's the Pope's job.

The United States is supposed to protect the world. They don't do their job. The Pope, he wants peace. Peace at any price, maybe. But his job is to try to tamp down killing. So I don't have a beef with that. And authentic and responsible dialogue, that's good. But I'm sure Pope Leo knows you're not going to get that from Putin or the Muller's.

You're not going to get it. Not going to happen. But the Pope has to say that. He can't say blow the hell out of him. That's not what his job is. So there is a difference. The Catholic Church is not in a position to protect the world. It is in a position to teach peace and love.

So the big difference. Okay. Summing up. And then I'm going to get to the media in a moment. I can't tell you how this is going to work out. All right, I don't know. I can say, because I did talk to President Trump himself, one-on-one about it, that Mr. Trump did not want to do the action.

He wanted a deal. Just like he wanted to deal with Maduro and Venezuela, they wouldn't do the deal. There was some urgency because they fast-track the nukes. After we hit them last June, yeah, we heard them. but then all of us two weeks later they were back trying to make another nuke. But Trump didn't want to do it. I can tell you that because I spoke to him about it. And we brainstormed about, and he thought he was going to get a deal.

He didn't have thought the mullah was going to be so crazy, and now the mullah is dead, the Ayatollah. And if you read confronting evil, where the Ayatollah, Homania's on a cover, and his predecessor is just, joined him, you see how bad these people are. I got to send a copy of that book to the Pope. Anyway, I don't know how it's going to turn out. I don't oppose the action. I do caution the Trump administration to have everybody on alert for domestic terrorism. And that's the memo.

Okay, so as we have explained a number of times, in the liberal precincts, and this does not happen in a conservative world, every morning there is a memo that goes out to media and to certain politicians, and it goes from D.C. K. Street, and it gets email. So that's why you hear the same phrases over and over and over again, because that's the, this. This is a suggestive wording. The first one that went out very quickly on Saturday was harm's way. Roll it. I'm just terribly fearful that we may be putting our sons and daughters in uniform in harm's way.

Is it worth our sons and daughters going into harm's way and risking their lives and risking injury and killing civilians when the president has not expressed a valid rationale for a war like this. I am praying for our service members, for our soldiers and sailors and airmen who are now in harm's way. Now I could give you 50 of those.

Same wording, sons and daughters, harms way, sons and daughters harm's way. When you hear this kind of stuff, just know it is organized. All right, the second one that went out shortly after that one was what's next in Iran. Go. It's boiled down to me to three very simple questions.

Why now? Why not? And what's next? You know, the Iranian people are very, very happy for the most part that the Ayatollah has been deposed. They're now looking for, okay, what's next? What is going through your mind right now? And what are your concerns? about what's next?

It's absurd. Nobody knows what's next. Okay? This isn't some kind of board game. Drives me nuts. All right. And I have anything else to tell you about Iran. Just that we are on it.

So stay close to bill o'Reilly.com. Anything that happens or if I talk to President Trump or anything like that, it'll be right up there. boom boom boom just like over the weekend uh joining us now uh from washington is jonathan seya he is uh the iran program analyst at the foundation for defense of democracies so number one i did a lot of bloviating there on my part i hope i didn't bore you uh did i say anything wrong no everything you pointed out it was entirely accurate of course uh the islamic republic has always to gain sanctions relief so they can try their best to fuel terrorism and they've gotten

that under President Obama. Of course, we saw very weak sanction enforcement under President Biden and that's something that's played into their strategy. And if you look at Tehran's attacks in the region, they accelerated definitely under Biden, again, because they were not afraid of consequences. And of course, now they are. So, you know, deterrence is one thing in peace through strength is something that the president has been very vocal about and we're about to really see the achievements that are going to come

from that strategy, of course. I just wanted to point out one other crucial point here. When we talk about putting U.S. personal in harm's way, we have to keep in mind, this is a regime that regardless was trying to kill Americans. If you look at any American whether they were murdered or if they were injured in Iraq or in Afghanistan, all three Iranian weapons. So this is not somehow some issue that just came out of the blue. This is something that the regime has been doing for years and actually putting it into it.

The difference is that you have an American president ordering military action. So there is a subtle difference. But you know what's a real indicator here? Where's Sean Kerry? He's Biden's top negotiator with Iran who failed dismally to get anything out of those people. He got nothing out of them. They got billions of unfrozen funds. funds, we got zero, the world got zero. Where is Kerry? Okay, he's hiding someplace on Nantucket,

I guess. Who was a disaster? Am I wrong? That was indeed a disastrous deal because Tehran got everything and we effectively, as you pointed out, got nothing out of it. We got no concessions. They kept their nuclear program. They went beyond that and they were actually enriching uranium in undeclared sites. That's the first weapon for weapon is. That's the first step for weaponization. And in return, they got sanctions relief for it, and of course they funded October 7th, and that's really key. So if you look at every angle, it was a disastrous deal. And of course, this administration sought to get a better deal. But with this regime in Tehran, it is really challenging because they just want to play our diplomats.

They want to play the political game here in Washington. So really, actually providing them with opportunities, them rejecting it, further legitimize this ongoing military campaign because we exhausted all diplomatic options. Yeah, but they don't have any power now. They don't have anything. So it's just a matter of how much destruction they want to absorb, they being whatever counsel is left, Theocratic Council over there. And there are guys left that, you know, can make a phone call or whatever. But they don't have anything at all.

They're just helpless right now, or am I wrong? You're correct. They do not have a functioning Air Force. They do have two lines of deterrence. One of them is the ballistic missiles that, of course, we've done a great job trying to intercept them. Israelis also accompanying us, trying to neutralize the missile threat, also going after the launchers, taking out the silos. Of course, we've been really proactive taking out that number one layer of deterrence. Now, what comes after that is also funds of terrorism. Tehran has been tapping into its proxies, both in the region and, of course, in the West.

We know they have an extensive network in Europe, not as much in America, but again, it's a very important. real threat. So this is not to say these threats are not real, but it's more so about saying how this administration has been able to effectively counter them. This was really the only U.S. president that was able to meaningfully take the battlefield into Iran, something that has no one has ever done to actually put an end to. That's true. Nobody else wanted this thing. Even after 9-11, they didn't want it. And so Trump has stepped up. The out of the of course the press is demanding well you know you should know already i don't know do you know you have any clue about how that thing's going to settle out in the next few weeks we have a broad

understanding so we do know iran's anti-regime movement is inherently anti-islamist if you look at university protesters you look at young people which iran is a young population they're chanting not only against islamism but also against leftist values they're see this, the Islam or Marxist alliance is something that has destroyed their country in the past 50 years. So if that's any indication, we know for a fact. Whatever comes after this regime is not only going to be secular, is also going to be an ally of the United States, comes down to how the opposition is going to lead that.

And the Crown Prince, really, son of the Shah, has done an excellent job trying to mobilize the masses against this brutal regime. So all it's really left is, as the president noted, for the Iranian population to wait until the bombing campaign is over, and then they can go reclaim the country that has been really taken away from them by Islamists in the past half a century. But I don't think it's going to be that easy because you have revolutionary guards still there heavily armed, they're going to gun them down.

And that brings me my last question. When you see the Pope and you see the UN and you see Kamala Harris and you see all of this stuff.

There's no legitimate stat that I can cite. but these are the reports that were murdered in the last month protesting against the Muller's. What kind of information do you have about how many protesters went down? So the numbers we're hearing right now that have been confirmed by a few independent organizations are truly horrifying in the tens of thousands, about 40,000 people.

And unfortunately, that makes sense given that it's a population of 90 million. They have 10 cities over a million people, and the capital has about 15 million. million people. And you're talking about a brutal regime that actually imported non-Iranian proxies, terror networks from Iraq and Afghanistan just to open fire on the masses. But that is exactly why the average Iranian now see this as a revolutionary movement to them. There is no way out but through, which is, of course, really reinforced by the U.S. and Israel military campaign that has decapited the leadership. As you pointed out, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a main concern and the u.s strikes against them against their leadership has fundamentally weakened them and

that is exactly why it is very important for us to ensure that we're going to get defections out of these armed forces and once really they see that there's no way out but through we're going to increasingly see them defect this obey orders and join the people's movement or as the president noted face certain death yeah i mean you got a whole of people who kill 40 000 individuals accountable and that again goes into the valley wick of the people that are protesting all this military action. Very good interview, Mr. Seya. We really appreciate your time and expertise.

We hope you come back. Okay. This poll was taken before the Iranian action, but I never saw it before because it was suppressed. Listen to this. This is a job approval of President Trump as compared to Obama and Bush on March 2nd of the second term.

Trump beats them. 43% Obama 425, Bush 39. Remember that the Iraq war was going south on Bush at that period of time. So, you know, you hear the terrible polling, this, that it's not true. I mean, it's more propaganda. Trump's holding his own right now on polling front. A lot of Americans want to get out. out of here. They want to move to another country according to Wall Street Journal. About

close of 200,000 Americans left the USA in 2025. Okay, top states where they left, Alaska, Utah, Texas, Colorado, Kentucky, California, New York. So it's a mix of red and blue states. Where are they going? Here are the top five. Albania. I have no idea. It's cheap. It's cheap. It's cheap. to live there. I know that. I mean, it's very inexpensive. They have a nice coastline, but Albania, number one, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France. Go to England and France. You're going to pay a lot of tax. So, Americans bailing. Hey, do you want to go someplace? That's okay. You know, freedom is freedom. Marist Poll, New York State. Okay, 15. 152 adults.

Question number one, thinking about five years from now, you plan to stay in New York, stay to move. Plan to stay, 66%. Move 33%, a third of the population, thinking about moving out of New York. That's a lot of folks. What's the main reason you would move? Cost of living, 40.

Quality of life, 21. Taxes 15, politics, 10. Okay. Mandani, the communist mayor, going to drive a lot of people out of here. And that means the tax receipts are going to shrink and the state's just going to become insolvent. That's what's going to happen. Epstein files. Now, I'm only covering this because of the absurdity of the situation.

Okay? And I have to tell you what's going on. So Congress and passed a law and Trump. Trump signed a law saying that the so-called Epstein files, more than three million pages, were to be released. Okay, so that's there. But the president has the power to classify anything he wants or she wants, and therefore that would supersede the law. Now, why would you classify some Epstein file stuff? Because it's defamatory. Because there was an investigation that proved it's BS, what is being alleged.

So you can't put that stuff out and harm individuals who are totally innocent. That makes sense to everybody? Not to Chuck Schumer. No way. Roll it. The law requires the DOJ to release all the files, not just some of the files, not just the ones they pick and choose and want to do. Yeah, but the class of files.

part. Yeah, Chuck, you left that out, didn't you? So there was an article written by Isaac Shore, who I believe we'll have on this program tomorrow. He's a columnist. And there are four interviews done by the FBI with this woman who says that when she was 12 or 13 years old, Trump and Epstein assaulted her. Okay. The first interview was released because there's no accusations against the president in that. Three have been held back. So some reporters found out what are in, what is in, the three that are held back. Quote, the president's accuser claims Epstein began to abuse her when she was 13, and at some point brought her to either New York or New Jersey by either plane or car to be assaulted by Trump.

So the woman doesn't know whether she was brought by a car or a plane. You want that out? Second one. Okay, same woman. Quote, her implication of Trump makes little sense since his friendship with Epstein began later in that decade. Cherry on top, she faced criminal charges for fraud, theft, and exploitation of an elderly person. Okay. So you're the FBI.

You had an interviewer, okay, because she made these outlandish claims, but she's a nut. So goes right back, but it doesn't get released because it's defamatory. Right? Not for Chuck. Not for the others. They wanted out. So they get hurt Trump. That is so wrong.

And I confronted Chris Cuomo with that last week. Go. Wrong. They can classify anything that they want, or else you have trial by mob. Okay? Well, that's different. If you want trial by mob, that's different. No, it's not.

It's exactly the same thing. You're arguing why they vote the law. No. The law that was passed says you release the Epstein files, but you can classify, if you're the federal government, stuff that's not vetted. If you can't, then you have trial by mobs. mob. That's what you have. It's not in the law. I agree with your concern.

Come shooting out. I agree with your concern. No, you can't do that. It's unconstitutional. You can't do it. It's unethical. It's unconstitutional. It's ridiculous. Trial by mob is not what we do in this country. Don't you understand that? He doesn't understand it because he doesn't want to.

All right? So we have due process. You can't pass a law that says due process goes. Okay, and what they did, that law would challenge it, it's thrown out. Hasn't been challenged yet. All right. The final thing on this is these nuts are now using Epstein in the Iranian situation. Go.

Now we're in war and the new cycle is going to be consumed by the this, I have to say, we've got to remind people that the Epstein files and the victims are still here, they exist. It's unbelievable. All right. Back to final thought at the moment. All right, here is the final thought of the day. So we were supposed to resurrect the factor on Wednesday, bringing it back because Cuomo

on News Nation was going to go to Israel. He couldn't get there because of the Iranian action. flights are all suspended. So he's going to be back in his chair. I will be on Wednesday with him. I'll be on Leland Vitterr on News Nation tonight at 9. Talking about Iran, of course. But we will revive the fact.

The News Nation said, look, we can't do it this week, but we are going to do it. And, boy, I had a great lineup. Hated to lose it, but I understand. You got to go with breaking news. So that is the update. We are going to revive the factory. It will happen on a special and looking forward to it. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the NOSPN News.

And Bill O'Reilly, we'll see you tomorrow.
