Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the Nostbin News for Monday, March 24th, 2020 5th, 2025. Stand up for your country. So I'm delirious because I've had, it's only Monday. I feel like it's Friday. We're going to have Tom Holman, the security czar, the board of czar, on tomorrow. And that's going to be some breaking news in that interview. The column I wrote on Bill O'Reilly.com is called Frankie and Donnie, a little cheeky, about FDR,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Donald Trump. They're governing exactly the same way. So when your Democratic friends hear about that, interesting reaction. And I wrote a message today about DEI. So Stephen A. Smith, who I will appear with live next Sunday here on Long Island at the Westbury Music Fair, he wants to debate Donald Trump about DEI. Well, he's going to get a shot with me about it. And I want you to read the message of the day because it lays out what DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion is really all about. All right. So we are so busy here. That's why I don't know what year it is.

Talking Boys Memo is a Democratic Party's counterattack. So as you know, parties in bad shape. The latest poll has it at 30% approval. The lowest number ever was 29%. 2013 when Barack Obama was having trouble. Now only 30% of Americans approve of the Democratic Party. So the leader of the Democratic Party is Senator Charles Schumer of New York. He's ahead of the Senate Democrats, the minority leader, and he voted to extend government spending until September. The radical left, which still dominates the Democratic Party now are trying to get Schumer. They want them to resign. They want to get them. Get them. Get them. him out, hit him with a stick, whatever they want to do.

Okay? Now Schumer knows he's in trouble. He even had to postpone some of his book tour because they were afraid the radical left Democrats would show up and disrupt Schumer's book presentations. So Schumer is trying to counterattack when I meet the press yesterday. Go. And our caucus is united in fighting Donald Trump. every step of the way. Our goal, our plan, which we're united on, is to make Donald Trump

the quickest lame duck in modern history by showing how bad his policies are. He represents the oligarchs, as I said. He's hurting average people in every way. All right, the oligarchs, sure. Now, if you really think about what Schumer says, it's basically says, We are going to oppose everything that Trump does. Nothing that he does is worthy. Nothing. So we're in business, the Democratic Party is to try to destroy everything he does. That's how bad he is.

That's kind of unprecedented. Abraham Lincoln had it. The Democratic Party in the 1850s, all right, they didn't want anything to do with the Republicans. When Lincoln got in there, they don't want to hear about Lincoln. I can't think of another time in history where one party we've said, we don't care what he does, Trump. It's bad. Whatever he does is bad.

We'll oppose. That's what Schumer is saying. That's not a plus for the republic. Now, there is a tour going on, the two very high profile Democrats, Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont. Now I do my brand new YouTube commentary solely on Bernie Sanders. Bernie's not gonna like this, all right? But it's fact-based, right down the lane.

Ocasio Cortez, the congresswoman from New York, is with Sanders. And this is the oligarch tour. Here's Cortez, go. And we are at a point where the wealthiest people in the world like Elon Musk and all the Republicans enabling him are turning to loot what is left of Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to bankroll even deeper tax cuts and sweetheart contracts for themselves, their fellow billionaires, and their corporations. right now is ill prepared for this abuse of power.

In fact, our political system enables it, starting with the role of money in politics. But I am here to remind you that we are not powerless in this moment. People are starting to put the pieces together. So money in politics, I think George Soros shuddered when he heard that. that's probably the biggest political donor in the world.

Radical left, George Soros, but consequently. Now, what she said is a very well-crafted speech. It's not lunatic stuff. She didn't write it. It's right out of the Marxist playbook. Right out of, let's get rid of the czar. Okay? Let's get rid of the Cuban government, Batista.

Let's get rid of the Americans in South Vietnam. Let's get rid of the Chinese nationalists after World War II, Shanghai Shek. Same speech, oligarchs, enriching themselves, stealing from the people. This is who Ocasio-Cortez is. She's not a Democrat. She's a socialist, probably a socialist. communist because she believes in the wealth tax, seizing private property. So Sanders is definitely a communist, no doubt about it. Cascio-Cortez, I don't even know she knows it's a difference.

All right, so they're on the tour. About 30% I'm putting my stat on it of Americans want socialism. They don't want to compete because competing in our capitalist society is hard. Difficult. may fail. Pretty much everyone who's in the capitalist system does fail from time to time. They don't want to do that. Now, you can move to Denmark. They, if you show up there, they might get great new citizenship. Okay, if you say you're fleeing Trump, you need asylum. And you don't have to compete in Denmark. You get everything. Now, you're not going to get rich. okay you're gonna you'll get by a 30% of americans are in that boat yeah i don't really want to do this too hard i'd rather go fishing smoke pot whatever i really want to that's who these remarks and

they're trying to get more and more and more and more americans to think that way that the system screws them the trump and musk and all these people okay now there are three things that have to go their way for the progressive left to make a comeback and the Democratic Party. They're kind of linked. All Democrats are not progressive left. There are some moderate Democrats. If you're thirsting for asphalt,

melting your work boots, tape measure has anger issues, nail guns talking smack again, and hard hat baked onto head-level refreshments, we definitely have that. Cool. off with Gatorade Summer Blaze.

I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for

candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay. Okay. So the first one is the immigration thing. Trump is ahead on that.

Sealed the border out, 94% fewer intrusions than there were under Biden. That's a big number. It's a big win for Trump. Now he's got to do the deportation. And again, we have home and on tomorrow. You don't want to miss that interview. Okay. So that's number one. Number two, prices have to come down. Oil prices are coming down, all right? And that'll bring down gas prices to pump. Should bring down your utilities, although utility company's not going to want to do that. But I'm keeping my eye on that. So that's number two, and then peace in Ukraine. Number three, it's big.

It's big for Trump. Now, if Trump loses all three of those, he loses the midterms. Then the Democratic Party will come back. Okay. Now, there's a morning console poll out. Who would you support as a Democrat in 2028? This is just among Democrats. Kamala Harris, 36%, they want her back.

Pete Buttigieg's 10, and Cortez, 5, Walt's 5, Gavin Newsom 5. Out of that crew, there really isn't anyone at this point in history that could come close to defeating Donald Trump or the vice president. Okay, it's not, but if things go south, Republicans will change. Finally, the big Democrat, the one who could resurge the party, is Michelle Obama, far in a way, the most popular Democrat in the country. And here's what she said last week. When people ask me, would I ever run? The answer is no. You know, I mean, you, you, then if you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea the sacrifice that your kids made.

when your parents are in that role not not only am i not interested in politics in that way but the thought of like putting my girls back into that you know that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves it's like you know okay i think we've we've done enough question asked and answered never going to happen no i hold her as it were i think i think It's never going to happen because if it were going to happen, it would have happened already. So that's very interesting, and that's the memo. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Under President Biden, we saw the American dream slip away for many because of record spending, open borders, policies that ignited inflation.

But that's all changing. President Trump has laid out a vision to restore American prosperity, and I want you to consider what we have in this vision. So please join me an investment expert, Alexander Green, for a special event called The Rebirth of the American Dream, where we will reveal it.

Please visit trumpsamerican dream.com now to secure your spot. Join us now is a guy who's going to give me a different point of view, which is what we want here. His name is Dr. Seth Wright. He is an assistant teaching professor of political silence at Penn State University, Harrisburg. Am I making any mistakes here, doctor? Well, you mentioned that the one who might, the one who might revitalize the Democrat Party is Michelle Obama, I would disagree. I am watching the governor of the Commonwealth, Governor Shapiro, and he's been going public. He's governed over a divided government in the past, has very broad support here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and he might be the one to step up to the plate and revitalize the Democrat Party on a

national level. He would have to do, he has to start tomorrow. Tomorrow is when he'd have to start because nobody knows him. And it takes a very, very long time for a politician to get known in the United States because of the intrusion of the cell phones. It's not like it used to be. We live in a balkanized media world. It's very hard for people to lock in. And you're correct. I like Governor Shapiro in a sense that I think he's an honest man. But for the American people to come to know him, extremely difficult ride. He's going to have to raise a billion dollars, and I don't know if he can do that. That's the real story here, right, beyond the polling numbers. Simply put, Democrats for at large, have a serious identity and storytelling problem. Folks who are being survey

about the likability or favorability of the Democrats, they're not just mad about nothing. They may be mad because they feel Democrats aren't addressing what matters to them, whether that's immigration, prices that are too high, peace in Ukraine or Gaza, global conflict, or just the sense that the world is spinning dangerously off access. The idea that birds of a feather should vote together, the vote blue number, matter who messaging, this no longer resonates. So this trend we're seeing isn't disapproval, it's disengagement. Well, I disagree with you now. I think it's disapproval of Biden and Harris, Biden's administration and Harris's campaign. I think most Americans, so my belief, and maybe

I'm wrong about this, but I don't think so. Most Americans are not ideological. They're not. They just want to earn a living and have a happy life and be responsible and raise their family, And you're right, they don't want all this turbulence all over the place, but they're not wedded to a party, the fastest growing party is the independent registration, as you know. So, but they see performance. And Biden was so horrible. And Kamala was such a poor candidate that that's what drove or is driving the Democratic numbers down. One of the key functions of a political party is to develop new candidates. And this is one area where the Democrat Party totally fumbled the bag. Back to some of the recent polling, 27% of respondents in recent polls hold a favorable view of Democrats. The challenge with any kind of poll analysis is finding the Mojuiced, the right words to understand voter sentiment.

Democrats are Brussels sprouts popular right now. 27%. That's a low opinion figure, usually reserved for people who wear socks with sandals. That's how unpopular they are right now. But developing new candidates... But that's based on performance, not perception. You see what I mean?

You're unpopular if you're playing for Penn State and you fumble a football four times in the first half, you're unpopular. That's what happened to the Democratic Party. Their policies was so terrible. And as I pointed out earlier, you didn't hear Bernie Sanders or Casio Torquess go, yeah, we shouldn't have an open border. Everybody got behind Biden. And then when they found out that he was, you know, out in the ozone layer, they bailed on him. But I think performance is driving it down.

Last word. What I don't know is whether anyone inside of the Democrat Party machine still has a wrench in hand or if the engine's just running on groupthink fumes. Because when a system is really humming along without resistance, without any kind of challenge or someone yelling from under the hood that the timing's off or the belt slipping, it doesn't matter how polished the dashboard looks. They're going to miss what matters. You forget why the engine was built in the first place.

Consensus is dangerous when there's a dearth of deliberation. So what I don't know is who in the Democrat Party is going to go ten toes down, is paying attention, and is ready to stand on business. Yeah, I don't know either. I think Shapiro, as you pointed out, is doing a good job in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But he doesn't have the power now. He doesn't have the money. He doesn't have the profile. So I'm not sure whether he's going to be the guy.

Hey, Doctor, thanks very much. We appreciate your point of view. Thanks for coming on. So tomorrow with Tom Holman, I'm going to ask him about the sanctuary, city, and state, mayors and governors, and whether they are going to be criminally prosecuted. Okay. Number one on that list right now is the mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu. It was basically giving the middle finger to the Trump administration. Amazon Pharmacy presents painful thoughts.

20 more minutes to kill in the pharmacy before my prescription is ready. Maybe I'll grab some deeply discounted out-of-season Halloween candy. Hmm, I never had a chocolate pumpkin with raisins before. those were raisins right next time use amazon pharmacy we deliver and no those were not raisins amazon pharmacy health care just got less painful hey i'm kately becker the host of the new york postcast and i've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays every morning i'll bring you the stories that matter plus the news people actually talk about the juicy details in the worlds of politics business pop culture and everything in between it's what you want from the new york post wrap

up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is our city. No one tells Boston how to take care of our own. Not kings and not presidents who think they are kings. Boston was born facing down bullies. In D.C., during the breaks to nurse the baby, I caught up on the scene unfolding back home. Hands joined in prayer across an interfaith circle at St. Paul's.

Bright letters illuminated on the old statehouse bricks. Homemade signs held high among the crowds on City Hall Plaza. We stand with immigrants. You belong here. Okay. So it's you belong here, immigrants. Homeland Security, we're not cooperating. Trump is a king.

He's a bully. And we're not obeying you. That's got to come to a head. Now, it came to a head in Maine. Remember, the governor of Maine basically said, look, we're not going to obey your trans executive order, Donald Trump. And then Trump said, all right, you're not getting any money. Not sending any money to Maine for your schooling. Your education, you hire education, not get anything.

Maine folded. Governor folded. Okay? And then Trump goes, okay, but that's not enough. Now I need an abject apology trying to humiliate the governor of Maine. I don't know if Trump's going to get it, but I think he will. Some kind of worded letter, you know, because if not, then they're not going to get the money. And the colleges up there need the money.

It's not like Maine's a rich state, it's not. So then we go back to the, and this is a much more important issue, the illegal immigration, the criminal migrants, is more important in the trans stuff. I mean, I don't know trans stuff's important, and I agree 100% that biological men should not be competing with women. That's insane. Okay? Better get you killed if you lived in an Arab country. But on the overarching, Wu and the others, Pritzker in Illinois, and the other real ardent sanctuary city people,

It would be interesting to see what Pam Bondi is going to do, the Attorney General, and we'll ask Homan about that tomorrow. All right, in Gaza, there's no more ceasefire that's gone. It's war again. One of the big shots in Hamas has been killed, according to reports, the name is Ishmael Barham. The IDF, Israeli Defense Force, is in there now blowing up everything, and that's because Hamas wouldn't release the hostages. this is a decision that has to be made all right if you got a terror group and the terror group is not doing uh the right thing and releasing the hostages is the right thing to do then you

got to punish them and it doesn't there's no other recourse to this um but the poor people in Gaza looks like 50,000 have been killed or wounded those stats are very hard to verify Israel says 20,000 Hamas fighters have been killed. Again, it's impossible to verify any of that. So there's war, again, in Gaza. Ukraine, they're in Saudi Arabia. And as I said, I think they're going to get some kind of ceasefire, but it's not going to be fast.

Putin will draw it out. He's evil. You know him. He's not going to do the right thing unless he's forced to do the right thing. Trump's got some cards on Putin, banking, some other sanctions. you know. So I expect something to be worked out, but it's going to be agonizing to get there. Right? They're in Riyadh, and why are they in Saudi Arabia? Because security in the kingdom is very good. And that's why they're there. But we are on both Gaza and Ukraine. We are not going to report the rumors or the hysteria.

Only the facts. Keep it here. Greenland. So, uh, Is it Ushavance? Am I saying it correctly? I didn't get back into, I asked my producer get me a pronouncer on the first name. The second lady, okay? Vice President Van's wife, she goes with a delegation to Greenland. Just because Trump wants to cause trouble up there, that's what he does. So Greenland, and I talked to President Trump eye on this, you know, Trump would like to have

Greenland is a protectorate of the United States, take it away from Denmark. The big thing in the minerals there, okay? He could get a mineral deal with Copenhagen, Denmark, without any other concerns. I think the Danish government would give us the United States that deal. Greenland is strategic, you know, it guards the Arctic Ocean. And, uh, You know, 50,000 people up there, most of them indigenous, I just hope it doesn't get to be a big thing. Like Canada's a big thing. I think we could get, we being the United States, what we want economically without just blowing this stuff up. But anyway, nothing came of the visit by Mrs. Vance. Is it show? Greenland is Greenland. and I'm on it, I'm watching it, I'd like to bring the tensions down.

Smart life. So pot is everywhere now because the states have legalized it. Big mistake. Huge mistake. And they wanted money and they wanted this and wanted that. Well, you're going to pay health costs that are going to override all the money that you take in from the taxing of the pot. But now there's a new study.

The American College of Cardiology. says that if you are under 50 years old and you smoke a pot, you are six times more likely to get a heart attack. Six times. Okay? They said. Now, you add to that, the brain, because you're bringing all of that chemical stuff from the marijuana, hashish, into your brain. But that affects memory, cognitive ability, you're going to find it. It's going to go. You're going to see. You cannot, just all you potheads out there.

I don't think you're too many watching me because it takes too much to concentrate to watch this show. So we have so many facts. But the people who smoke pot, you're ingesting chemicals into your body on a daily bed to your brain. What do you think is going to happen? It's not natural. It's like sugar. If you're blasting your body with sugar, you're going to get diabetes. You're going to die earlier, painful.

Pass the same way. You think you're going to get away with this inebriation? And if you're a kid doing it, your future is dim. I'm going to tell you a story. So when my first job in Scram, Pennsylvania, there was somebody, who I was working with, young guy, smoked pot every night. And, you know, I never used pot in my life, never used a drug in my life. I've never been drunk in my life.

I've tasted beer and wine. I don't want any part. It doesn't, isn't part of my lifestyle, ever, hasn't been. But the pot was big when I was in college, you know, and everybody was trying it. Anyway, this guy held the job at the television station, but he was terrible at his job because he couldn't concentrate, because he was stoned every day. And I was what, 25, 26 at the time, looking at the guy, I'm going, what are you doing? The young guy, you can't do that.

The guy was addicted to it. And then they say, oh, you can't addicted to what, yeah, mentally you can. It's like cigarette smoking. You get an inebriated four or five times a week, not just a pot, but on booze or any other drugs. You're addicted. Now you might be functioning, but you're addicted. Don't, that's awful.

So I gave my kids, from the time they were 10, I said, this is bad. Thank God, both of them, they're not involved. okay and i but i made it a jihad here against it i wish more people would do that hey it's sean spicer from the sean spicer show podcast reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics president trump and his team are shaking up washington like never before and we're here to cover it from all sides especially on the topics the mainstream media won't so if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home.

New episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Rosie O'Donnell, crackling Rosie, get on board. Now, I didn't want to do this story because I don't want to pick on Rosie O'Donnell. I don't. I know her. You've been on my show.

I've been on her show on News Nation, not her show, but with her. I don't think she's a bad person. She's out there. So she's in Ireland, and of course Irish TV, which is left-wing, by the way. They track her down to talk about the politics in America. Go. I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs

and runs the internet. So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her. And Donald Trump was not able to do that. So it's curious to me. And as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to look at all of the reasons why this happened in our country. Well, that's not going to happen, and the reason is Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate, and Trump outdrew Kamala Harris like five to one in a rally situation. It wasn't even close.

But people believe what they want to believe. Rosie wants to believe the election was rigged. just like Donald Trump wants to believe the election 2020 was really what they want to believe and you are not going to talk them out of it

this day in history March 24th 1765 see they don't teach history in school anymore so I have to do it so 1765 there are 2 and a half million people in America that's it most of them are

in New England and New York, a little in Philadelphia, but that's a population center. British troops are here in the colonies because Britain ran the colonies. And they did that because so they could take the tobacco and they could take other things of fabrics and bring them back to London. They benefited economically, the crown, the king. So the king goes, you know, I'm getting tired of paying all the bills for our troops. So the American colonists, you have to feed, house, and give our troops everything they want. That's called the Quartering Act. So 260 years ago today, it was signed. So the 2.5 million colonists didn't have anything. There were a few rich guys that came over merchants, but not many.

They didn't have anything. So all of a sudden, these guys are sleeping in their barns. Okay, nine years later, and so that started the Revolutionary War fervor. Nobody liked that. And William Pitt over in Parliament said that it came, hey, this isn't smart. Nine years later, the King passes another law and says, the British soldiers can kick you out of your house and they can take over, which they did. That was the fuse for the Boston. tea party and the revolution all right so that all happened 260 years ago today all right back

with the final thought in a moment final thought so i was in florida what lovely weather i hate that word lovely but it really was magnificent weather in palm beach uh for the last five days i got back yesterday was at the joe namath fundraiser and they did very very well and i want to thank all the athletes who were there, who contributed their money and time to, and there is Governor Palin who dropped by. I've known her for many years. She still lives in Wasilla, Alaska. There's Johnny Bench. I think he's the best Major League catcher ever in the history of the game. So I enjoyed meeting him. I never talked with him before. And there is Nick Sabin, perhaps the best college football coach ever, all right? And I had not known him. So we had a really good time in

Florida. And it's, I lived there, as you know, I taught high school in Florida. And then I lived there based out of there to cover the wars in El Salvador and Argentina. Too hot for this Irish guy. But up until May 15th, May 15th to October 15th, you got that hot arc. people go oh well we get an ocean breeze no it's it's hot and a lot of people like that a lot of people like the heat and Florida is booming booming restaurants are packed everybody there cars all over the place but I had a good time and I know a lot of people down there I actually went out to dinner with two of the kids that I taught at high school. You believe that 55 years ago. So that was fun.

And I saw a comedian named Brian Kiley. He writes for Conan O'Brien. He didn't use one four-letter word, and his set was brilliant. Brian Kiley. If he comes in your town, you go see him. Not one F word, not one obscenity, nothing. Boom, right down the line. Every line was right there. Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpin News. We will have Tom Homan here tomorrow.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see that.
