Starting point is 00:00:46 The substance. This balance is not working. And the naked gun. That was awesome. Now that's a mountain of entertainment. Paramount Wolf. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, October 20th,
Starting point is 00:01:15 20th, 2025, stand up for your country. No kings. I don't think we have a king. If we did, the king would have beheaded a lot of people over the weekend. Right? It was a quick weekend for me. I was upstate New York trying to get a little foliage thing going on. A foliage is so-so this year.
Starting point is 00:01:39 But I was tracking the No Kings protest. There was one up in Kingston, New York, right close to the Hudson River. And it was, you know, a decent crowd. It's a small town. They were out there. And I didn't engage, but I was very keen. curious to what kind of people were there and what the tone of it was. I got to tell you, I was impressed with the rallies across the country, and that is the subject of this evening's talking
Starting point is 00:02:13 points memo. I'm not impressed politically, because I'm not on those side, the side of the people who hate Trump and think he's the devil and he's Hitler, and the country's going down and drain. I don't see it that way at all. I think Trump is divisive. He's not a uniter. He has a vision. He's carrying out the vision. He's succeeded in neutralizing Iranian nukes, big.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Succeeded in getting 20 hostages, big. I think he's going to get a deal in Ukraine. Just my opinion right now, but I think it's trending in that direction. Oil prices here are coming down. You may know that. They're coming down pretty hard. and food prices, I don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So I don't see him as a disaster at all as far as being a technician in the White House. The people who I saw were very emotional about hating Trump. And it's fine. They have a perfect right to hate him. Just don't act out. And they didn't. And that's what impressed me. So here are the numbers.
Starting point is 00:03:23 We can't get an accurate assessment of how many people protested on Saturday. The organizers say seven million. It seems a little high to me. Chicago was a big one, a quarter of a million, D.C. $200,000. New York was kind of a bomb, $100,000. That's not a big protest for New York, very liberal town. L.A. they can't count them because there's not enough police to do it. L.A. is such a disaster.
Starting point is 00:03:51 But arrests very, very few. 12 in L.A., 13 in Denver. Portland, you had some people trying to destroy the ICE headquarters, so that was serious, but there weren't a lot of them. Chicago had 15 arrests. So, you know, when you have millions of people out there and you don't have any violence looting an arrest, that should be applauded. Because, again, dissent is a vital part of a democracy.
Starting point is 00:04:21 You've got to be able to dissent. Even if you don't agree with the dissent, and I don't agree with the dissent. progressive left at all. I think they have done more harm to this country in, I don't know, 20 years than the Democratic Party did in 100 years. It's a progressive far left that really is damaging this country, in my humble opinion. However, if they want to go out and demonstrate, all right, and it's not hard to get people out, 75 million people voted for Kamala Harris. That's a big pool. okay, to choose from. Not hard to mobilize people.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And then there were the organizers. The ACLU, a group called Indivisible, that's a Soros-funded group. 5501 movement, move on, American atheists, tax fairness, blue future, LBQ stuff, black struggle organization, Planned Parenthood, pride at work. You know, I mean, all of these are,
Starting point is 00:05:27 Far left groups, every one of them. And Soros pumped an enormous amount of money into those groups. Probably more than a billion dollars. So this isn't anything that's unusual. You got huge money behind them. You got $75 million. They didn't like Trump. That's a big crew to choose from.
Starting point is 00:05:49 So they got them out there. Anyway, the criticism of the president, I watched that. I had my staff watch it too was general roll the tape. But primarily my biggest focus today is ice. What they're doing is unconstitutional, it's not fair. It's terrorism. Okay, so it's like, you know, the country's a fascist country now, and it's going down a drain, and no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Bill O'Reilly here, I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida. And I can tell you, he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during a second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called The Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom, how the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history. Details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency and most importantly how you can achieve the American dream. Now I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years and he
Starting point is 00:07:12 spotted some of the best performing stocks of our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit Trump's American Dream.com. Trump's American Dream.com. Now one column did catch my attention. Hall, who we like here, for Mediite, which is a website, social media website, which analyzes what's going on in the press, so all the people in press read it. Here's what Colby wrote about the march. He goes, The marches are virtuous, showed moral clarity when cynicism was easier, but virtue without strategy is performance, and performance without follow-through is paralysis. The crowd made noise.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Now it has to make demands, and back them with some. something more than Saturday's turnout, unquote. And Colby Hall joins us now from Brooklyn. So the marches are virtuous. How do you know? Well, I didn't go, but judging by the people that I know, but what I meant by virtuous is that they were principal, right? All of them?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Well, I don't know if all of them, but I think generally you can sort of, I'm sure, like the individuals that were arrested, They were, I trust that I believe in the authorities, the arrested them for good reason. You know, you can take a thousand people and there's always going to be two or three nutters. Those nutters don't define the crew. Yeah, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking, you say the marchers are virtuous. There are a lot of antifas out there.
Starting point is 00:08:45 There are a lot of anarchists. They didn't misbehave, again, to their credit, on a mass level. There are a lot of people who want communism and socialism. the Bernie's bros, all of those people are virtuous? Come on. Well, I'm just going to echo what you said earlier. I think what they did was patriotic, right? I mean, in as much. And look, I don't agree with everything that the sort of organizers put forth. But the right to protest is constitutionally protected. And to your point, like, for the most part, it was peaceful and principled. All right. I don't know that there was a lot of Antifa.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I'm giving you a hard time because I think you were too general in this column. So the margins of virtue is they showed moral clarity. So I don't think that letting 15 million foreign nationals into this country, as Joe Biden did, is moral. I think it's immoral, all right? I think it destroyed. I would agree with you, but right, but I don't think. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And I don't think that watching 4,000, mostly African-Americans,
Starting point is 00:09:55 Americans have begun down in the streets of Chicago is moral at all. Now, these demonstrators, Colby, I would say 90% of them, all right, don't want immigration enforcement, and they don't want National Guard to go in and stop a mini-holocaust in Chicago. They don't want it. How is that moral clarity? I don't think there's a mini-holocaust going on in Chicago right now. I think there is crime. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And it's been a problem, although it's been getting better. it's at a 60-year low, I do think that you, I agree with you on the Biden administration failed immeasurably in the way that they handled the border so poorly. And I think that's, you know, he paid the penance of that by, well, Conno Harris did by not getting elected. I think that was a huge, huge issue. I don't think this protest was the Biden administration. And I don't even know you had the sound clip of the protester protesting ICE. You know, that's a complicated issue. I think that the way that the draconian way that many ice people, you know, remove people in masks without due process is critical. But I think the authoritarian things that the Trump administration are
Starting point is 00:11:06 doing, you know, are, you know, sort of eroding our constitution. You know, the posse comitatis does not allow federal troops. But the Supreme Court is going to hear that. They're going to hear that. And we should let that play out. But these people have already condemned Trump as being immoral. as being a fascist. They've already done it. And then you say they show moral clarity by doing it. I disagree vehemently with that. Let me let me just talk.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Well, I think patriotically. All right. But that's your point, I don't think that's okay. I mean, this is why we have this program and why we have robust debate. I don't think that's moral clarity. I think you have to basically take it issue by issue. Now, when I had Tom Holman on, and you saw it,
Starting point is 00:11:49 last Wednesday, I scolded him gently because he was standing. guy for coming on. By not giving enough information about the ICE agents and what they do and what they're ordered to do, because the Homeland Security Department doesn't seem that they think they have an obligation to tell the American people what the deuce is going on. They do. They do. Now, there, I'm 100% with the demonstrators who say, well, we can't have, you know, a system whereby people are snatched up. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold
Starting point is 00:12:37 and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty-free. With billions and precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-89-89-again. And that's 866, 326, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Longbendy Twizzlers candy keeps the fun going. Keep the fun going.
Starting point is 00:13:49 what the guidelines are. They haven't been put out there. I do know that the judge's deportation orders, these left-winger don't want those enforced. The progressive movement does not want to send anybody back. They'll say maybe hardened criminals, but they don't want DUI people sent back. They don't want wife abusers sent back. They don't want them. And that's not moral clarity to me. So, I think that the moral high ground is held by the people who want to enforce the law, but they have to do a better job of explaining why they're doing what they're doing. Is that reasonable? I think that's entirely reasonable.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And I would go further. And I'd say most Americans who look at this, you know, sort of logically and reasonable would say that if you are a hardened criminal or if you've done any serious crime and you're here illegally, you should be deported, right? Of course, everyone is afforded due process, if only to find out you got the right guy, right? Presuming you got the right guy and you know that they did some sort of crime on any scale, you lose the right to be here regardless, right? I think most people do that. They need to clarify what the 1952 law is and how it's being enforced.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And it's a scandal that we haven't had it. We have a woman in Houston, and I want to run this sound by, get your reaction to it, who had a bunch of friends, and they were out protesting against Trump. Roll that tape. When you see something's wrong, you've got to stand up and do something. You can't just put your head in the sand and hope it goes away. And whether it affects you or your neighbor doesn't matter, you have to stand up for everyone. We're one nation under God. And justice for all. Well, that's just very true signaling. You know, know what that is. It's like, oh, well, what's wrong, lady? What are you objecting to? What
Starting point is 00:15:49 exactly is the problem here? And they... Well, that was the essence of my column, really, was that the protest was better at putting up social media posts than it was for actually doing any change, meaning what we have found here, what I sort of found is that you go on Instagram or TikTok or Twitter and you see all these people putting on photos saying, like, look what I did, I protested, and it kind of goes away. So I do believe that there's a real concern, that there's no organization. These people feel good about themselves because they protested and put up a witty sign, and then they go back to the normal lives. But you would like, if you were king, King Colby, I don't think there's ever, there's been a King Canute,
Starting point is 00:16:38 but I don't think ever a King Colby. If you were king, you would want, to reverse some of the Trump policies, right? No, I would want a more reasonable sort of approach where there were checks and balances. I think what I would, if I were king, I would, I wouldn't be a king because I'd be for American democracy and the Constitution. And I would ask Congress to- All right, but what has Trump done that you would like to see banished? Well, I would like to see due process, one.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I would like to see, I think the government shutdown was not a, was a strategic way to cut a lot of staff. I mean, under the shutdown, the executive branch, the OMD gets a ton of power, so they've been able to fire and lay off a bunch of government workers. So you think that it was a contrived shutdown of fire people? I do, I do. I think it was a clever strategic move by, I mean, it was sort of laid out in the project 2025. And, you know, the cutting of USAD, the doge cuts, All of that stuff sort of fell outside of the realm of what we've...
Starting point is 00:17:43 I guess it's possible. But look, say you're Senator John Thune. So you're not a king. I just downgraded you to his senator. So Senator Schumer walks in. He looks at you and he says, we're going to shut down a government. We're going to, all of us in Congress, all Democrats, unless Republicans agree to provide taxpayer health care for seven million undocumented people.
Starting point is 00:18:19 That's what Schumer did. And he knew that the Republican Party could never do that ever in a million years. You're oversimplifying a very complicated health care system. Will people, will undocumented people, they have to be, treated at ERs, A, B, the more you cover people with this health care system, and Obamacare is not great, I will agree with that, but it's better than what came before and should be improved. And neither party has put forth anything to try to improve that. But when you cut that funding, guess who's going to pay more? It's all the other Americans that rely on the
Starting point is 00:19:03 Affordable Health Care Act, right? And those prices are going to go way up. And that's a real problem that the country has to face. Thune and Johnson, the two leaders in Congress, both said to Schumer, we will negotiate this with you. What exactly you just said. But the facts of the matter are, okay, that the Congressional Budget Office estimates if the Republican Party and Trump said, yeah, okay, well, we'll let you have an extension of Obamacare that will pay for the health care of 7 million undocumented people,
Starting point is 00:19:41 that would cost the United States of America. This is CBO number, 662 billion over 10 years. The Republican Party is never gonna do that in a million years. So the Democrats knew when they came in that this was gonna shut it down, Colby, and they did it to make a stand against Trump. And that's the truth. I think you're right to say,
Starting point is 00:20:07 that this was a protest against Trump because the Democrats are in disarray. It's cliche. They have no power. This is the only thing they can do. That's the line. Right. And that's what happened. But I will say also, you know, Trump and his allies have been talking about repeal and replace Obamacare for what, 10 years. And they got nothing. And so if Obamacare or the American Health Care Act and our American health care system is so, so broken and for profit and people are making billions of dollars, off of this, where is the government responsibility to try to fix it? Listen, I agree with that 100%, that there's got to be a big summit meeting between both parties to come up with a health care system that's, number one, fair, okay, because we do need
Starting point is 00:20:59 to have safety nets for older people and people who have to have them. But not giveaways. You know, look, I reported last week, and how many times have you heard, Colby? How many times have you heard? Oh, from a Democrat. Oh, the federal government doesn't pick up any of the undocumented health bills. How many times have you heard that? Too many times.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Right. And so we come up with last week, the state of Oregon in its budget has $1.5 billion. dollars. Right. All right. All right. All right. All right. A lot it for health care for undocumented people because they take Medicaid where the feds match a dollar for dollar and hit it right into the undocumented community. So the Democrats aren't telling the truth there. They're gaming the system. But you're right. I learned that from you on the news nation town hall. That's right. I learned that from here. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Good stuff. Right. So let's have Schumer open the government because the Democrats are the ones that are closed it. And then Thune and Johnson, you set up a summit meeting and you lay out legislation. I think that's the way to go. Last word. I think the Trump administration could be real heroes right now if they put forth a plan. You know, and the way that they settled peace did the impossible by causes.
Starting point is 00:22:29 to ceasefire and discussing peace in the Middle East, if they could put forth a real health care plan that was better and more affordable to everyone, that's when he would get the Nobel Peace Prize. But he's not going to do it. He's not, the Republican Party and President Trump are not going to pay the health bills of undocumented people. They're not.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Fine. I mean, so let's have the conversation, but something for it. Okay, we're not going to do anything. We're going to do nothing. Let's start the dialogue. That's what I think. All right, Kobe.
Starting point is 00:22:58 We appreciate you taking this. the time, thanks, good debate. Always good to be here. If you guys want to comment on the debate, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to appoint. All right, Stephen A. Smith,
Starting point is 00:23:12 so he was on the Three Americans broadcast, as you saw. I hope you watched it. If you didn't, it's on Bill O'Reilly.com. It was humongous success. 23 million people accessed the three Americans show on the News Nation bands because they have you can watch it linear then you can watch
Starting point is 00:23:37 social media YouTube but 23 million staggering and you know who came up with the three Americans concept right anyway anyway Stephen A. Smith is a Independent. He calls herself a Democrat, but he's really not, in my opinion. He's an independent guy because he takes each issue and then he gives his opinion on him. It's exactly what I do. All right. And he's been fabulously successful, Stephen A. Unbelievably successful. Okay. He said that Congresswoman Crockett is a phony. That's what he said. And it's true. She's in for self-aggrandizement, a lot like Ocasio-Cortez. They want fame and eventually fortune from their government service.
Starting point is 00:24:37 My opinion. All right. A guy goes after, okay? Stephen A. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. Our country's back. We're really back. Candid conversations with the people making the rules and change.
Starting point is 00:24:58 changing the game. Can you see yourself as president one day? I don't think about death. You just had an invasion over our southern border. My husband is in the corner for the record, pumping his fist right now that you're asking this question. This is real talk with lawmakers, newsmakers, and political disruptors. I think Elon's poor, probably fences himself more of a Viking. I think I'm more of a ninja.

CNN has all these progressives, you know, all the way down the line. He goes after him, a very personal way. This Bakari seller is Stephen A. Smith. Roll it.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I know you stand on the shoulders of strong black men. And you are disappointing us every time you continue. to chop down those people who are doing that real work. And so, yeah, I think it's necessary that we call that out. I think it's necessary we have that level of accountability, especially right now while you're appreciating the gaze of those individuals in the White House, the gaze of people like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, but yet and still, you're quiet as a church mouse pissing on cotton when Donald Trump is out here trying to take away our voting rights.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Nobody's trying to take away the voting rights of African Americans. That's just BS. There's no evidence of that. You can't make a solid fact-based argument that's happening. You know, it's just the usual progressive blather. Bilge, B-I-L-G-E, word of the day. But mentioning my name, I was going, what are you talking about? So, we have a foundation here, some of you know that, Winifred and William O'Reilly Foundation.
Starting point is 00:27:53 We give away millions of dollars, millions. And part of our mandate is to help young blacks who are at risk. So we give it a lot of money to various organizations, all right, like best friends in Washington. And I've been doing that for 25 years. There's a mentoring group, like Big Brothers and Big Sisters. We were involved with the Barack Obama, My Brother's Keeper program. I've given a lot of money to Tuskegee College in Alabama, which educates mostly first-generation college students.
Starting point is 00:28:40 So Sellers gets me and somehow Stephen A is wrong to associate with me, and I'm going, what the deuce? I'd like to know what Sellers does for his people, for the black community. What do you do? Don't any money? So it's just a vicious stuff. And all of this comes under the heading of race baiting. If you don't fall into line to the sharp dens and all these people,
Starting point is 00:29:17 they accuse you of being a sellout, or bigot, or whatever it may be. That's what they use. It's so cheap and demeaning. And yet CNN pays the money to go on and do this stuff. That wasn't a CNN clip, but it just makes me horrible. So I told Stephen A, suggested to him, I'm going to tell him. I said, look, this guy's jealous of you. That's what this is all about.
Starting point is 00:29:45 It's nothing to do with Jasmine Crockett. She could stick up for herself. There's a need Baccari Sellers sticking up for it. He's just jealous of you because you reach far more African Americans who respect you. And that's what I told Stephen. Boy, that made me mad. And Mr. Sell, do you want to come on and face-to-face debate me? you're welcome any time on this broadcast, but you'll never come on.
Starting point is 00:30:10 You don't have the stones to come on. Air Bernie. Okay. So as you may know, Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont, and Alexandria Ocasicoe Cortez, the Congressroom from New York, went on a tour this whole summer. And it was the fighting oligarchy tour. And Bernie, so far this year, has run up about, I don't know, $600,000, $500,000 in private jet fees. Where oligarchs usually are.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Hey, Bernie, the oligarchs take the private jets. What are you doing? Taking the private jets. That's a lot of jack. And he's using it, you know, from his political action committee. He's not paying it. So he was asked about this last May. Go.
Starting point is 00:31:16 You and you run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people. I think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line at United, waiting, you know, what, 30,000 people are waiting? That's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. But you're not running for anything now. campaign any phrase. You and Ocasio-Cortez. You're floating around saying stuff. You don't need to be on a private jet for that. You can fly right out of Burlington, Vermont, anywhere you want.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You don't have to do four or five rallies. You're doing one rally. And I wonder if they're getting paid, by the way. I wonder if they're getting paid for these. I'm going to probably say no, but possible. It's privately run enterprise. Anyway, Air Bernie, racking up the private jet feats.
Starting point is 00:32:12 The being is. Paramount SkyDance now runs CBS, laying off 2,000 human beings. 2,000 Americans losing their job. Cost cutting at not just
Starting point is 00:32:29 CBS, but all of their enterprises. But all their enterprise is, media, showbiz enterprises. That's what CBS is. So it's over. The movie industry, the television industry, if you're in that industry, I tell people, people come up to me all the time and goes, I really don't like my job at wherever, where can I go? I go, there's nowhere to go. it's all they're all cascading down is another example
