Welcome to the NOSBIN News, Wednesday, February 5th, 2025. Stand up for your country. So I'm reporting from West Palm Beach, but we have to leave tonight.

Just in time to arrive in New York for the sleet, snow and ice extravaganza. Can't wait. So here in the Palm Beach area, it's 80 and sunny. Where I live, now I'm hoping to get in before the precipitation, as the weathermen say. But Florida is a beautiful place this time of year, no doubt about it. But it's more expensive than New York. So the restaurants here, insane. Insane. Food is good, but you're paying Manhattan prices in Florida. And not just in the

she-shees, but just in irregular places. So a lot of people who live down here and working class people, you know, they just don't go. And if you drink, it's 20 bucks. You want a little martini or whatever 20 bucks easy and if you have a specialty drink so just know you're coming down for spring break you're coming down for a couple of weeks bring a lot of money if you want to eat out and drink and socialize and many people just go to the grocery stores grocery prices aren't that bad I was in I was in one getting say I it just paying $20 for sandwich I I can't so anyway we're going back we'll be in

New York tomorrow to broadcast, and tonight, when we're talking about President Trump creating even more chaos, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. It amuses him. It's fun. It may not be good for the country. I'd moderate it a little bit, but I understand 100% what President Trump is doing with the shock and awe. So he's coming in, he's going, look, last time around, the swamp got me, the first term, I'm going to get the swamp.

And I'm going to get them fast. So we have two things today. The first was an executive order about trans women who were born men competing on an athletic field with gender-born females. And Trump goes, no, not happening, executive order. Quote, the order will establish mandates on sex and sports policy, direct federal agencies, including Department of Justice, interpret federal Title IX rules as for prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports categories, unquote.

Okay. Now, what can the feds do? If you're a private school, they can't do anything. But if you're a public school and you receive any kind of federal money at all. Feds come in and shut the money down, and if you're in violation of the executive order, you could get prosecuted if you're a principal and you allow it. That's not going to happen, but it could. So everybody, oh, you know, the media. Well, Trump promised to do it. Roll a tape. and we will get critical race theory and transgender insanity the hell out of our schools and always remember this is so easy this will be done tomorrow we will keep men out of

women's sports. It's over. So why isn't anybody surprised? Now, there's no downside for Trump. None. Look at this poll. New York Times poll. All right? Here's a question. Thinking about transgender female athletes, meaning athletes who were male at birth, but who currently identifies female, do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in women's sports?

Should be allowed? 18% should not 79% common sense says it's wrong and 80% the American people and that includes of course liberal and some far left people they know so Trump there's no downside except in the media's oh now far more important is the Gaza stuff and this is a fascinating story because I talked to President Trump directly about it about a month ago. Okay, so the USA is not going to take over Gaza. If you have an IQ over 50, you know that's never going to happen. But President Trump throws the grenades out there, okay? And he says that, hey, we're going to go in and make life a lot better for the Palestinians who are

trapped in Gaza. Roll the tape. We'll make sure something really spectacular is done. They're going to have peace. They're not going to be shot at and killed and destroyed like this civilization of wonderful people has had to endure. The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. So the president has said a number of things that he wants the 1.8 million Palestinians trapped in Gaza to be relocated into other Arab countries. Of course, the other Arab countries don't want them because they're poor. And the other Arab countries, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, they're not taking them.

So there's nowhere for them to go. But Trump is right. What are they going back to? Blown up buildings, rats running around. Hamas is still there. Trump's right. You know, if the United States administered that territory, the lives of all of those people would be dramatically better.

So he throws the hand grenade out. You know, we'll run it, and it'll be better for the wonderful people who live there. But that's not going to happen. What Trump is doing is sending a signal that this situation can't continue to go on. And he gets everybody's attention in the world. Oh, oh, he can't do that. He's going to invade.

It's ridiculous. That's exactly what Hamas and Iran want. Put Americans there so they can shoot them. And Trump knows that. So right away, Mahmoud Abbas, haven't heard from him in a while, he's the Palestinian president, puts out a statement. Quote, the legitimate Palestinian rights are non-negotiable. No one has a right to make decisions on the future of the Palestinian people except the Palestine Liberation Organization. The official and legitimate represent body of the Palestinian people, unquote.

Well, this is totally ridiculous. Mr. Abbas has no power. Hamas runs it. Amos runs Gaza, and Iran tells Amos what to do. I was the first time I've heard about a boss in a year. He has no power, he's lucky he's alive. I don't know where he hides. The PLO has absolutely no power to do anything and hasn't done anything in decades. Until our pal, Yasser Arafat, stole hundreds of millions of dollars, wired it up to Paris,

where his wife continues to live as a sultaness. Okay. So all of this is what I call posturing. It's posturing on the president's side. He wants to shake it up. He wants everybody running around, this and that, and hoping that maybe something positive comes out of it. So my conversation with him.

And I don't think he's going to mind. It was a private conversation, but this clarifies what happened today.

So we're talking about the Middle East and the problems are over and over and over and they never get solved. All right, two-state solution. When you hear the liberals say that, there aren't two states. So there can't be a two-state solution, right? The Palestinians don't have a state. Terrorists run them. Okay.

So Trump goes, you know, that Gaza Strip, and I've been there, I know it, that could be a very lucrative place, because it's right on the Mediterranean. You build hotels, you build high rises, you basically clean it up, make it safe. And the Palestinian people can work there and make money and have decent lives. And I said to them, yeah, that could happen. Why don't you get your pals in Saudi Arabia to put forth a scenario and they would buy the land, the Saudis, in association with private industry all over the world,

but they'd have to spearhead it. You'd have to have a central, wealthy nation spear, and it can't be the United States, too much hatred toward us. But that's Trump's vision. Create this Miami Beach in Gaza so that the people can have a decent life. Now, is that heinous? Is that horrible?

And I talked to him about for 20, 25 minutes. And the vision was solid. Now, will it ever happen? No. There's too much hatred there. And there are too many bad people there with guns. But it could. Okay.

Now, along these lines, News Nation, and I appear, as you know, a couple of times a week on that network, they ran a special off my book, the United States of Trump. If you really care about Donald Trump, even if you don't like him, if you want to know why he does what he does, that's the book to read, the United States of Trump. Okay. So, Lula and Vitter, one of the correspondents and anchors over at News Nation, interviews me about why Trump does what he does. And it ran an hour. I'm going to play seven minutes of it for you now. And I think it's going to at least a very fair-minded person give you another person.

perspective. Go. You were with Trump at Marilago as he prepared to take office for the second time. How was that different than the Donald Trump you saw before he was prepared to take office the first time? As Trump would say, huge. Okay. So when he was elected in 16 and took over in 17, he didn't know what he was doing. And he'll tell you that. He comes out of New York City real estate world where he knows everybody and he gets what he wants. Into Washington, D.C., where everybody, where everybody but he hates him, and he's not getting what he wants, even from his own team. And he's not quite sure about who's good and who's bad.

So the first year was chaos. Do you believe that? Now, eight years later, he knows. And when I was in the meeting with him in early January, it was an unbelievable window. Donald Trump was as clear and as authoritative as I have ever seen him in 35 years of knowing the man. Okay, but the two of you guys, you grew up sort of around the same time, and you both have gone through, personally and professionally, some tough times. Sure, everybody does. But there's something about you and Trump that you understand each other.

Well, we're both flamboyant, boisterous at times. Confident. You are a rude, terrible person. Who's getting hosed? Overconfident? Overconfident? Your words, not mine. Okay.

So we do have personality traits, but we certainly come in. life in a way different way. What we do have in common is, I'm not going to let the bastards get me down. I'm not going to let them win. That's what O'Reilly and Trump have in common. I want to take you back to knowing Donald Trump socially, right? You're a reporter and you start to get to know Donald Trump. You go on a double date with him. He go see a Paula Abdul's show. He asked me to do my favor. He said, hey, my current. relationship Marla Maples has a college roommate in town would you accompany her to a concert with us so I said okay it's hysterical we take an elevator up to the

suite and I go oh this is all right I'm in the suite free food decent view of the stage and this will be okay this is what I'm saying to myself no Trump wants to walk around the arena so he goes out into the concourse and it's bedlop screaming and yelling and like all of this. He loves it. And that's when the light went off for me and go, this guy wants to be a star. He loves it.

He loves it. Does he need it? I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist. But most performers, politicians, athletes, whatever, they love the adulation. That's why they're in it. So that whole idea that Donald Trump is uncensored,

does that make him totally different than any politician you ever covered? Sure. He's absolutely not even in the same universe as 95% of American politicians because he doesn't think, if I say this, that will happen. He goes, I'm going to say what I want, and I don't give a fig. How many politicians do that? None.

And that's why he won in 16, because he got on that stage with all these other politicians. What, were there, 11 of them? All right? And he's looking at him, and he's going, you're boring, you're a liar. And these guys, they're going to go, what? They never heard any. I remember watching that debate, the first one in August.

This is the first debate on Fox in 2015. And my crew and I are sitting there watching him. Our mouths are like, like this, what? What's happening? And it captured the disenchantment of the American people about career politicians. about phonies, and he just wiped them out. Part of the Donald Trump act is the insult comedy, right?

Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Pocahontas for Elizabeth Warren. You compare him to Don Rickles. I hurt the people. Is that because he's branding people? Is it because he's actually being mean? What is it? Well, I don't know if it's mean, but he certainly wants to rattle their cages to lose a cliche.

He wants to shake them. Not just his political opponents, but foreign leaders. The media? He's a provocateur. Everybody knows that. He likes to be a provocateur. Likes it. Because it's not boring.

It's exciting. One of the interesting things I found out in the United States of Trump was how he dealt with the mob. And now, Trump didn't break the law, but he knew that the mob controlled the cement union workers and all these other stuff. and that if the mom didn't like you, and to this day that holds, they can sabotage your project. So he sat in a room with these guys.

Is that any different than talking to Putin or Kim Jong-un? Is that kind of how Trump did? That's an excellent point you just made. He'll talk with anybody, Trump, if he can get what he wants out of them. He has no compunctions. He comes in, and the worst people on earth, and Putin is one of those, one of the worst people on earth. Trump's got pretty good relationship with him. How do you explain Donald Trump as the traditional values man who goes back to leave it to

Beaver and whose personal life, shall we say, is what, colorful? I don't explain it. I don't know about what happens in those precincts. One thing that struck me in your interviews with the kids, right, is how Donald Trump was a father was omnipresent, but at the same time, not your typical father. And the kids love that about him. They loved going to construction sites with him rather than playing t-ball.

Yeah, he set them up in a way where they learned a lot. And these were all, all of his children are super intelligent. What has to happen for him to earn the legacy that he wants? He has to fulfill his campaign promises. He's got to stop the madness in immigration. He's got to provide a stimulant to raise wages for working-class Americans. This is why he wants the tariffs.

And he has to calm it all down overseas, which he succeeded in doing his first four years. So if he does those three things, he'll have a very successful second term. You seem optimistic. I'm just telling you, this will be the golden age of America. This is the golden age of America. We're going to have a great country again. Look, he's got the pathway. It's there for him.

Now, when I was talking to the last conversation I had with the president, he was talking about his legacy. And I said, well, you got four. Okay? We'll see where you are. But you're going to have to accomplish. Okay, so you can see the whole hour, the United States of Trump. We have it on Bill O'Reilly.com. News Nation has it on their social media.

About 2 million people. have watched it. It's a big number. The whole thing. And then many other millions of what part of it. Okay, Pam Bonnie, now the Attorney General of the United States. And I am proud to say I recommended her. The Red Hot Clarence event is on right now at Burlington. And I'm excited for the markdowns. It's all about savings on top of savings throughout the store. This is when I stock up on styles from my closet, home decor, and much more. because there's up to 70% off other retailers' prices on clearance. I mean, I'm going every day because these prices, too hot to miss. Burlington. Deals, brands, wow.

Styles and selections may vary by location. 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 Maxforce. It's not clean unless it's OxyClean. Used to be Attorney General of Florida, as you may know.

You'll remember that Matt Gates, the crazy congressman from Northern Florida, was the original nominee, and now wasn't going to fly, and it didn't, and now Ms. Bondi's there. The vote was party lines except for Federman of Pennsylvania, the Democrat. He voted for her, so it was 5446. But Bondi, Ms. Bondi, walking into a huge mess with the FBI. This is a fascinating story. So the Justice Department has demanded to know who in the FBI investigated January 6 crimes at the Capitol and Maelago, the rate, the document rate. So the Justice Department wants the ID numbers, not asking for the names, but they don't have

to get your FBI ID number, they're going to know. And they want to know which FBI personnel are involved. in those situations. So the FBI agents, some of them, and there's a big number that were involved in this, okay, so some of them have filed a class action suit in D.C. Um, to stop that. This is what Bondi's walking into. And I think the suit is going to be successful because it looks like the Trump administration

might take revenge on these FBI agents. And I think a judge is going to stop it. Could be wrong, but it looks to me like that this lawsuit alleges a violation of First Amendment and that this is going to hurt their privacy rights. I'm going to follow the story, but that's the first thing Pamelaide is going to see. Cash Patel is going to be clear to be the FBI chief. He's walking into that too. Gavinism, Governor of California, he's at the White House.

asking for money. This is a very interesting story. So you remember that Donald Trump went to California on Friday, January 24th to view the wildfire situation. And one of the reasons the wildfires got so far out of control is that L.A. County didn't have any water to fight the fires. And they didn't have any warrior because they're incompetent. The county officials, the mayor of L.A., the governor of California, they're incompetent. That's it. You don't have any water to fight fires. Who's ever in charge is incompetent.

So Trump goes in and orders that the Army Corps of Engineers release 1.6 billion gallons in three days. And now, since the 24th, it's up to 5 billion gallons of water. The Army Corps diverted it from Northern California where there's plenty of water down to Southern California. Trump did that, not Newsom. Okay? Now, the federal government shouldn't have to do any of this. California should be taking care of its own environment. But, of course, it doesn't because they're incompetent.

Everybody getting this? Okay. So Newsom then shows up, and Trump has been very respectful to Newsom, far more than I would have been, had I been president, Because Newsom, he's awful. I don't think I would have had the patience for it. But Trump has been pretty diplomatic. And Musum goes in and asks for money and he'll get some.

Because these poor, poor people burned out. You can't let them suffer because of the incompetence of the governor, the mayor of L.A. and the county officials in L.N. But it's really a disturbing situation. All right, here's an update on K-CBS Radio in San Francisco. This was bought by George Soros. and it has been given out information to the public about where ICE agents are in the Bay Area. We ran this out by yesterday, but I'm going to run it again because it's so outrageous.

This is a guy named Brett Burckhardt. He's an announcer on KCBS. Go. The country's county's response network says agents in San Jose were in unmarked vehicles, including a black Dodge Durango, a gray Nissan Maxima, and white Nissan truck. Ice agents were also reported out. side of residence on South White and Tully Roads, and officers were reportedly at the target on King and Story Road. Stay with KCBS. We'll be tracking it for you. Unbelievable. So now the head of the FCC, Brandon Carr, says, we're going to investigate

KCBS. And this is not going to be good for that radio station. I'll tell you what, they're going to go in heavy against this. And this is George Soros behind it. He bought Odyssey, which is a string of radio stations across the country and K-CBS is one of them so I'm glad this happened I mean we can't have radio stations putting federal agents in danger right okay USAID so for years those of us who study the federal government understood the billions and billions of dollars that have been wasted by sending money overseas to ridiculous countries doing ridiculous things. Sorry, that's the truth.

These are tax dollars with a $37 trillion debt, and we're sending billions of dollars to countries that do stupid stuff. Much of that money has stolen, one word, Haiti. All right. $40 billion under Biden's last. year was given to US aid, 40 billion. Now Trump says it's going to stop and he's putting almost every employee of that agency on leave. The only ones that aren't getting booted are the mission-critical staff, whatever that is. It's about 10,000

bureaucrats work for US 8. 10,000. For what? So Trump is just dismantling. He can't ban the agency. Congress has to do that, but he can make it impossible for the agency to function, which is what is happening. Now let me give you three examples of where our tax money goes. The first one is helping hand for relief. It's a Muslim charity based in Michigan, okay? And it got more than $100,000 in tax money. And some of it, according to the Washington Wound up in the hands of the jihadists, because nobody's watching it. Second, Marie Stopes International, that is an abortion place. They got 14 million to provide some kind of abortion thing.

It's murky to people in Zimbabwe. Do you believe this? in Zimbabwe, American tax dollars, 14 million. And the final, Tajikistan, look at it on the map. Nobody knows where it is. Okay, one million so that some Tajiks who have disabilities can become, quote, unquote, climate leaders. You think I'm making it sounds like a Saturday night live skit, right? I'm not making it up.

So Trump goes in and goes, we've got to stop this. And I'm saying my remarks now are for you, liberal people out there. Do you object to that? Do you object to $40 million of taxpayer money being sent? God knows where for nothing? I object to it. Do you? Oh, my God. All right.

Back home. Super Bowl week. I'll make my prediction tomorrow. I didn't go because I knew it was going to be a zoo in New Orleans. New Orleans is one of my favorite towns, although it's very corrupt and very poor and very dangerous. A lot of miscreans run around on town. But that's not why I didn't. I knew that the logistics were going to be impossible, and now Trump's going.

I don't even know how you're going to get into the Superdome there for the game. Anyway, Roger Goodell is the commissioner of the National Football League, and he held a press conference this week, and it was all about D-E-I. Go. We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the next year. National Football League. And we're going to continue to those efforts because we've not only convinced ourselves, I think we've proven ourselves that it does

make the NFL better. So we're not in this because it's a trend to get in or a trend to get out of it. Our efforts are fundamental in trying to attract the best possible talent into the National Football League, both on and off the field, as I said previously. And

we see that. Okay, so I wrote a message of the day on bill o'Reilly.com. Again, hope you go there every morning. It's free. You don't have to sign up for anything. And I said, look, there really isn't any DEI in the national football league. Are you ready to dairy-free your mind?

So the only rule they have is called a Rooney rule where if a team has an opening for the head coach, they have to interview an African-American candidate. They don't have to hire the person except to interview them. Seems reasonable to me, all right? But on the field, the woke DEI stuff means not. nothing because if you can't perform, you're gone. You know, it doesn't matter what your color is, 53% of all the players are African American.

Okay, they deserve to be there. Because believe me, those teams aren't putting people on the field because they're woke. And another interesting thing that since 2021 in the end zone, there's been a big message on the turf end racism. Well, it's gone. So Goodell is moving that out. He's going to replace it with choose love, and it takes all of us.

Look, that doesn't bother me. None of this bothers me. What did bother me was annealing. That was disrespectful to the country, to the fans, and it made the United States look bad all over the world. Goodell knocked that out behind the scenes. He'll never tell you that. but I know it to be true. Smart life. So Donald Trump, I mean the guy talking

all doesn't even come close. We're into now week three of his administration and he's picking fights with everybody including the Bank of America, the huge Bank of America. Roll the tape. I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America. They don't take conservative business. Well, that's a little overstated, but the Bank of America is a very liberal outfit. And I don't care.

I don't bank at the Bank of America. And it doesn't, I don't care what their political philosophy is. But there have been times when particularly gun owners, when a bank has a credit card and it sees that somebody purchases a firearm, all right, and then it reports it, no. Now, I'm not accusing Bank of America doing that because I don't know, but that has happened. So a friend of mine is involved with Old Glory Bank, Old Glory Bank.

Now, we did a segment on this with Larry Elder, the commentator, about a year ago, maybe a little bit longer. So Old Glory Bank is run by conservative Americans. It's out of Oklahoma. The website is you get a hold of them, old glorybank.com. It's in Durant, Oklahoma. Executives from that bank are in D.C. today testifying in front of something. I don't even know what it is because I don't really care.

What I'm doing in this segment is in a smart life segment is giving you another option. That's what I do many times in smart life. Not telling you to do anything, buy anything, go anywhere. It doesn't matter to me. You're smart enough to know where you're putting your money. But if you're dissatisfied with your bank, if you feel there is a political component to it, check out old glorybank.com. I let me know how it goes. PBS. It's going to lose is funding, I predict. 535 million a year, PBS, far left, outfit, NPR, further left than PBS. PBS takes its own poll. This is a riot, takes its own poll, and says, no, 72% of Americans value our children's programming. Okay, I agree with that, but they don't want

to pay for it. Compete in the marketplace. All of your news program are 100,000. percent of it is slanted left. All of it. I don't want to pay for that. I wouldn't pay you on a right-wing channel. If Fox News was getting government money, I'd be screaming about it. So I hope you lose every cent. Don't give me this phony poll. This day in history, February 5th, 2020. Donald Trump acquitted by the Senate in the first impeachment trial. It's five years ago Nancy Pelosi made this happen. The charge was that Trump called Zelensky in Ukraine and asked Zelensky

to look into charges that Hunter and Joe Biden did something wrong in Ukraine. Now, the president is the chief law enforcement officer of the country. officer of the country. If he believes that anybody is doing something wrong overseas, he is a right to fact check it. Well, Pelosi got him impeached on it, okay, because Democrats control the House. And then the vote came down, and it wasn't even close. Okay, you needed two-thirds of the Senate to convict. So they got 47 votes in the Senate to convict. And 52, no, because they control Republicans control the Senate. The only Republican to vote against acquittal in the Senate was Mid Romney. And it ruined him. Ruined his career. And Mitt Romney had a very good political

career. He's a good governor of Massachusetts. He spirited race against Barack Obama, which I think he could have won, but he didn't want to go after Obama. And that's what you needed to do.
