Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, May 22, 2024, stand up for your country. Well, the country is limping into the Memorial Day weekend. We are a divided nation. Everybody knows that. are suspicious of one another. Sometimes we hate each other. And it's just the age we live in. There's nothing anybody can do about it other than control your own behavior, your own conduct. We have a very weak president, and there's no two sides to that story. And people will say, oh, he's not weak. You know, come on. What do you need? We have a controversial challenger, probably the most controversial politician in the history of the United States, Donald Trump. And we have a corrupt media that refuses to report the truth because of

ideology and money, the combination. So that's a lot to throw on the barbecue. I don't want to depress anybody going into the weekend. I hope you all have a lot of fun. But I hope you do remember that we are, as a country, taking time off to think about people who were killed, military and civilian, in the pursuit of freedom. I'm a historian. I know what the true story is, and it hurts me to see people ignore history. That's why I wrote the killing book series, all 13 of them, because I wanted to give you an entertainment vehicle in the book, but teach you about the history of the United States and the world. And we've accomplished that. I've got to know today that we passed 19 million in sales. It's just staggering to me.

Just think about that. Anyway, the Talking Points memo this evening is the current political situation as we enter into Memorial Day weekend, 2024. So there's new polling about Doug Schoen, we have him on the program a lot. He's got a firm, a research firm, shown Cooperman Research. They did his study throughout the month of May. And I like this because it's the whole month. It's not like a quick snapshot. So the study that they conducted indicates that Donald Trump has not been hurt by all the legal proceedings against him

and may even benefit. They can't say he's going to benefit because the vote is four and a half months away. And so we can't calibrate that with any certainty, but the poll says that most Americans have not been swayed one way or the other. You hate Trump, you still hate him. Might hate him a little bit more,

but what does it matter? You like them, you still like them, and you might like them a little bit more. Okay? So there are four questions I'm going to read you from this poll. first one is, do you approve or disapproves the job President Biden's doing? Prove 41, disapprove 57.

That's pretty constant now. He does dip into the 30s, Biden, but 57, 41, and it's a big gap. I don't know if any, Jimmy Carter had a gap like that and Reagan waxed him. Okay, second question. thinking about the charges and indictments against Donald Trump, which best describes your viewpoint. Trump did something wrong, should be prosecuted, 48, nearly half the country. He did something wrong but should not be prosecuted. 13. He did nothing wrong, 26.

So that's a 39 number, not sure, 13. So according to this, Paul, most people believe. that Trump did something wrong. Okay. Next question. Please indicate if you agree and disagree with the following statement. The indictments against Donald Trump make him a victim, political persecution and the far-left establishment of the Biden administration is targeting Trump as they do in third world countries. Agree 49, disagree, 40. So that seems to be inconsistent with the first one, but it's really not. So most people believe these prosecutions are politically motivated, which they are. We've gone over that. And the final question, which is closer to your view

about the indictments against Donald Trump? Form of political persecution 40%, legitimate, 47%, not sure, 13. Okay. So, I think that the court case in New York has helped Donald Trump. It's given him a forum where he can tell the nation, look, this is bogus. And, you know, independence, people that, they don't feel one way or the other about Trump. They're listening to that. I could wrong, but I don't think so. Okay, so this summer, and summer's going to fly by, it always does. In July, we have the Republican Convention, Milwaukee, 15 to the 18th, Trump will speak, the last day, Thursday, July 18th. I am not going to go to the conventions or I may have somebody there, but they really don't matter unless, you know, unforestation.

seen things happen, but at this point, nobody's going to watch it. It's going to be the lowest rated convention ever. I think Americans will watch Trump and Biden's speeches. A brother Biden in his convention, August 19 to 22, Thursday, August 22nd, he will speak. We will analyze both speeches, of course. Now, if the vote were held today, Trump would win. I'm pretty confident in that. He would win probably by a fairly significant margin. But, you know, it's Donald Trump. So it's his election to lose, but, you know, if it were me, I would play a lot more conservative than Donald Trump is playing it. For example, he raises the heritage of Judge Marshon in New York. He was born in Columbia.

South America, I don't think you'd do that. There's no good comes to that. But okay, election today, Trump wins. Election November, still crazy. Something's going to happen. Something's going to happen. That's a memo. 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 stock. piling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

bill to 998899. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast. reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.

All right, Trump trial is over. Next Tuesday, the judge's giving everybody off, a bunch of days. The closing arguments will be made. And then Wednesday, the judge will read jury deliberations. That means the judge will frame the case. Judge doesn't like Trump. Whatever the judge says, he's going to be hammered. I don't feel sorry for the judge.

I certainly should have accused himself. He's a Democrat. And, you know, his family are ardent Democrats. He should never have heard this, in my opinion. And then Wednesday, it'll probably go to the jury. And, you know, who knows how long. I think they want to get the deuce out of there, the jury. But who knows?

So that's all next week. Today, President Biden, I met with the president of Kenya in Africa, East Africa. doesn't really matter to Americans, but you should know that Africa is now being coveted, lots of money flowing in there from China and Russia. They want, A, to sell their products in Africa, and B, to have political power there. So Kenya's a big country, and that's why this is happening at the White House. Vote buying. Joe Biden loves it.

It loves to buy votes. Okay, so two things happen. You should know about. First is that the Biden administration is going to release a million barrels of gasoline from the Federal Reserve, okay, to bring prices down in the Northeast. And so 42 million gallons of gas going to be released from the Federal Reserve, going to be released from the Federal Reserve to drive. drive those oil prices in the Northeast down to buy votes because they get worried. Okay, so this is story sites in Jersey and Maine, the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve. Average price of gas gallon gas nationwide, $3.61 right now.

A year ago, it was $3.54. So it's 1.7 in a year. Under Trump, this is an actually stat. May 25th, 2020, Trump's still president, $1.96. So it went from 196 to 361 under Biden. Americans aren't using more gas. Supply and demand didn't drive that up. Government regulation did. And nobody understands that. But make it harder to refine oil, to pump for oil, to

transport oil, as Biden is done across the board, pride's going to go up. Simple man, simple analysis. Okay. Then, in conjunction with the oil, and remember, the U.S. government has to buy that oil back and put it in reserves. So it releases the oil, but then has a buy oil to refill it. That's tax payer money. Okay. So Biden announces that 7.7 additional 7.7 billion student loans are going to be forgiven. This brings it up to a whopping $167 billion in student loans that President Biden is forgiven. So we have to pay for that. Taxpayers have to pay for that.

You just can't forgive it because these loans were taken out with the federal government. See, Biden doesn't have any power to forgive private loans. So you borrow money from Chase, for example. He can't forgive that debt. Supreme Court ruled that way. But if you borrowed money through the federal government, many programs, then he can say, you don't have to pay it back. But O'Reilly has to pay it back.

You have to pay it back. And he'll add it to the federal debt. Okay? So all is just a shell game. Nothing is free. The cliche is no free lunch. And, of course, Biden's doing this to buy votes. The Democrats are champions at that.

Chuck Schumer. He's the Senate leader, okay, and the longtime senator from New York. So tomorrow he's going to introduce another border security bill. Okay. So what do you think he's doing that for? A five-year-old. I should have booked the five-year-old to tell me. So the Democrats want to take the open border off the table in November.

They want to do away with that issue because they get killed on it. Should we go put another bill for it. We're trying to solve it. And a Republican is all right. Okay. Now, I read the last bill, and I wouldn't have voted for it. It's not going to do anything. Spent more money, a lot more money.

but Biden still want $6 million a day, $7 million a day? Okay, let's do it. Yeah, come on. I don't know what this bill says, but not one Republican is going to vote for it. Why? Remember when I analyzed Nancy Pelosi when she was Speaker of the House and how she handled everybody? She basically told all the Congress people on the Democratic side, if you don't vote the way I tell you to vote, we cut off all your money and we prime.

primary you. Remember, they run every two years. So they constantly, the congresspeople who want to get reelected, they need money from the Democratic Party, the DNC. Pelosi goes, you vote against us, not getting any money. And we're going to throw somebody up in your district, try to take your job away. So that's why all people voted none during Craig's side for everything Nancy Pelosi said. Same thing's going on on the Republican side now. Publicism basically said, hey, you vote for Schumer's bill? We're not giving you any money. And we'll primary you, same thing.

So don't expect any Republicans to vote for this. All right, here's what Schumer said. Go. For years, our Republican colleagues have insisted that the only real-term solution to fixing the southern border was for Congress to pass legislation. We Democrats agree. Congress must act.

We need to fix the border in reform immigration to make it fairer and more humane. So he reads off the paper, one of his staff wrote that. So the obvious question is, well, what do you mean we need to reform immigration? What have you been doing for the last three and a half years? What took you so long? And now you want to take the issue off the table because you've got an election coming up? Even if it's the greatest bill in the world, which it won't be,

Republicans aren't going to do that. Would you do it? So, okay, Chuck. And Chuck doesn't give interviews, by the way. You never see him, ever. Okay, Chuck, if you can explain why you waited for three and a half years, put forth this bill, then I'll consider it. What's Chuck going to say?

Democrats want open borders because they believe that migrants, foreign-born nationals will be able to vote soon. Because if they get into power, they'll pass laws letting anybody in the country vote. They will. Okay, here's what Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said. Go. Going to a border bill right now is just a gimmick, a way to try to convince the American people that they're concerned about this when they caused it. Okay, that's true. McConnell's going to retire from his leadership position. Good.

But that's true. What he just said? Okay, so, not going to pass. Then the Democrats are going to go around. Oh, we had a great bill, but the Republicans wouldn't vote for. You know what the game is. You know, at this point in my life, I just almost ignore that. I have to report it to you and analyze it.

But in me, in processing any of the, it is, okay. I'm not real interested in politics, per se. Got a letter yesterday from a woman, a concierge member, who said, are you going to cover the RNC and blah, blah, blah, and I wrote it back very politely. And I said, we don't cover what political parties are doing. We don't, we don't put on guests. And I never have.

When I was doing a factor on Fox, I never put on partisans unless the part of, unless the partisan, the person, was involved with something that directly affected you. But when you turn on cable news now, you see these people, and all they're in business to do is to promote their political party. We never do that. That's a waste of your time. We are fact-based. We are looking for solutions to problems.

We don't want to hear political stuff. They don't like Trump. Why? I don't know why. Trump doesn't involve himself with gays or any of that. Very rarely will Trump ever say anything about that. Anyway, there's a woman who's the head of the human rights campaign. That's the LGBTQ operation. And she, her name is Kelly Robinson.

And she used to be the head of Planned Parenthood. She's a far, far, far left person. She says that the human rights group is going to donate $15 million to help Biden. Now, $15 million is nothing. Okay, that'll buy a few ads in Minnesota and Wisconsin, but it's really not much. But anyway, Ms. Robinson hates Donald Trump. Roll it. Every time he opens his mouth, it's a new nightmare that comes out of it.

I mean, we're talking about a person that's trying to make his way from the courthouse back into the White House yet again to torment our lives, our communities, and our families. Torment. Are you tormented by Trump in the four years that he was president? Were you torment? I wasn't tormented. I was tormented on January 6th watching that debacle. that bothered me but before that he governed like pretty much every other president

governed and he was more successful in most Trump was in his policies I said that the Chris Cuomo last night on News Nation and he I go you know if you look at the issues and how Trump performed on the issues the economy overseas wars the border, remain in Mexico? You know, he did a pretty good job. And Cuomo said, well, it depends what issues you look at. Okay, what's the beef on the gays? Why does Kelly Robinson hate Trump? What's the beef? Trump's not a tormented gaze. It's all about abortion for her. And Trump doesn't like abortion because his core support doesn't like it. Okay, again, And he's not a social warrior.

You know, I wrote a book, A Culture Warrior, way back. But if you can get it, it's worth reading. Because almost everything I said in that book is King Trote. But anyway, that's not where Trump lives. All right, he's in the economic realm. He's not in a cultural realm. Hey, I'm Caitlin 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 world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped 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. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. 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. 71% of Americans, according to a new Harris poll,

want RFK Jr. in the debate. Okay? So the question, should the debates include third party or independent candidates that clear a viable thresholds, such as RFK, should include 71, should not 29? Okay, so so far, according to the Hill decision, desk. Three states have RFK on the ballot, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Utah. You have to get a certain amount of people to sign a petition and get your name on a ballot. Kennedy says he has, he's going

to be on a ballot in California, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah. Okay, I think he's right. I don't think he's going to be on a ballot in every state, but I think he'll be on a ballot most. So why not include him in the June 27th debate with Trump and Biden? Because it would take away valuable time from those two guys, and RFK has no chance to win. Now, in a normal news year, election year, it wouldn't bother me so much. All right? But this election, because I believe if Joe Biden is reelected, the next four years are going to be catastrophic for America because he's going to be far worse in his governance than he is now because he got nothing to lose that. So the far left that controls him, the progressive wave,

is going to intrude on my freedom big time and your freedom. And Biden doesn't know what he's doing now. He thinks he's going to get better? So I don't really want a lot of diversion away from the central problem in this country, which is President Biden. He is the problem because he creates open border. He creates the higher gas and food prices. He creates weakness overseas. So Putin invades Ukraine.

Putin, I wouldn't have done that if Trump or president. I don't think you would have. All right. So Biden's weakness and befuddlement and total sellout to the progressive left creates problems, and they're going to get a lot worse if he's reelected. So I don't want RFK up there. And that makes sense to you? If you disagree, I'd like to hear.

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish to opine. So I got a question in the mail. from Chris John, the Woodlands, Texas. And Chris writes, Bill, any possibility that during the June debate, CNN will actually throw some hardball questions at President Biden. Yeah, they will. Tapper and Dana Bash, they'll throw questions at Biden.

But it doesn't matter because Biden's not going to answer him. And Trump's not going to answer them either. No matter what the moderators ask, Biden and Trump are going to answer anything they want because you can't interrupt them for the 92nd period they have to answer. They don't have to answer, and they won't. You get asked the toughest question in the world.

I would, you know me. But they're not going to answer it. They're going to go where they want. Now, in the back, and forth, and there's not going to be a lot of back and forth because they're going to cut the mics of the candidate that's not speaking, you could say, hey, you didn't answer the question, you don't know, you know, you could. But this whole debate format is way obsolete. This does not work anymore. As they laid out to you last week, there should be a fact check at the end, 30 minutes, confronting both candidates for things they say that aren't true. Why did you say that? It's not true. Easy. won't do it. And then when they don't answer the question, I don't know what you do. Do you have a little,

remember you bet your life with Groucho Marx? That's going way back. They had a duck come down with the word of the day, the secret word. Maybe you have a duck come down going not answering the question. I don't know what you do. I was at moderator when they wrapped it up, their 90-second answer, I would say, that's not what I asked. You really didn't answer it. But you don't have time to give me another 90 seconds. But I would go on the record. The whole debate thing is it's demeanor. That's what Americans are going to tune in for on June 27th.

What demeanor? And Trump will be confrontational. He'll be angry. There's no way Trump's not going to be angry. And Biden will be kind of attacking Trump as Hitler. You know, that's what Biden will do. Okay. The Pope. So most Americans, sadly, and I mean that, don't care about Pope Francis,

87-year-old pontiff believes in the liberation theology, which I'll explain in a moment. I met the Pope briefly, but I watched him. I was in his proximity about 90 minutes. I watched them, how he dealt with people. It looked very kind to me. And subsequently, I did some research on him, and he's a kind man. He's not an arrogant cleric. I mean, he wants the best for everybody, in my opinion. So 60 Minutes gets an interview with Pope Francis, all right?

Nora O'Donnell. And Nora's okay. She's a Catholic. I'll tell you an interesting story. story about Nora someday about when I was on CBS Morning and she was one of the anchors and I said that I got inspiration from the Holy Spirit, which I absolutely believe 100%. And she goes, you talk to God? I said, he talks to me. I said, you're Catholic, Nora, right? Don't you believe the Holy Spirit inspires? And then Nora didn't know what to say. Anyway,

Nora interviews Pope Francis. Not too many people watched. The 60 Minutes broadcast got 7,300,000. And then they ran a special on Monday of this week. They got 2,200,000. So less than 10 million watched the Pope, which is nothing in prime time. Not good.

The Pope would be canceled if you were a show. Anyway, this was the most relevant SOT sound on tape for Americans. Migration is something that makes a country grow. They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey. That the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. It's a joke. Don't take it badly. But migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.

I grew up in Texas, and I don't know if you've heard, but the state of Texas is attempting to shut down a Catholic charity on the border with Mexico that offers undocumented migrants' humanitarian assistance. What do you think of that? That is murder. Madness. Shear madness. To close the border and leave them there, that is madness. The migrant has to be received. Thereafter, you see how you're going to deal with them. Maybe you have to send them back. I don't know. But each case ought to be considered humanely, right?

Okay. So the Strawman, Texas closing the humanitarian assistance center, is more to that story. okay I'm not going to go on the record because I haven't completed looking at it yet but the Pope was doing what he should do he was basically saying to the world these people are suffering these migrants that is true the cartels abused them the people in Honduras where they come from abused that they're just looking for better life okay and they need to be treated humanely by not only the United States but all countries. What do you expect them to say? What would Jesus? Jesus say the same thing, right? The Pope is Jesus' representative on the planet. I have no beef with that at all.

But it's a much more complicated issue. And my questioning would have dealt with the complications of nations being overrun, of cities being bankrupt, of bad people coming in with the good people, killing college students in Georgia. Those are the kinds of questions I would have asked the Pope. But I have no beef with the Pope. Smart Life, there are four retailers in America that My Savings.com is issued a warning about okay they are the fresh market whole foods publics Wegmans okay so my savings.com says they charge a lot for food let's run it down

the fresh market gourmet grocery chain once you see that word gourmet you know it's gonna cost you more all right in the eastern half of the USA you pay a higher price because they have their own labels, their own products. Take it or leave. Whole Foods, I got one right around a corner, okay, high-end grocery store, smaller selection, and it has expensive gourmet stuff. Okay, I know when I walk into Whole Foods, I don't pay more. That's why I don't walk in there too much, unless they want a specific thing. Public's, Florida, other parts of southeast, they've jacked their prices up pretty big in public. Wagman's is in the northeast and mid-Atlantic. They've done the same thing. Very pricey. Both Publix and Wegmans have

discount days and they discount stuff, and that's what you wait for. All right, that's smart life. Obviously, if you buy generic brands, not the public, not the private brands, you'll pay less. Take it to leave it. Fifteen places to live in the United States of America that are the best. Okay, let's go through them. Number one, Naples, Florida, nice town, a lot of rich people, Gulf Coast, very hot. Very hot. Boise, Idaho, small town, a lot of freedom, nice area, hard to make a lot of money there. Colorado Springs, one of my favorite towns, unbelievably beautiful, not crazy left, like Denver and Boulder I become, Greenville, North Carolina, nice little town, home of Jesse Jackson, hot, not far away from the ocean. Charlotte, North Carolina, bustling. You want a job, that's where you go, Charlotte. Raleigh, North Carolina. Same thing. Okay? lots of jobs. Huntsville, Alabama, I know nothing about. They don't know about Huntsville.

Virginia Beach, military town, bustling. You can get a nice house there for a lot less than most other places. Austin, Texas, I would not put that in there. Number one, it's scorching hot in the summer. Number two, it is just inundated with far left people. Now, if you want to go out and live in the hill country of Texas, that's great. But Austin, I would not go there. Boulder, crazy left just like Austin. And the wind in Boulder? Whoa! It is cold in the winter. So to Florida, a lot like Naples, but more expensive. Green Bay, I've been there once. It's kind of out of the way, but you can get a good price on a house. Charleston, South Carolina, one of my favorite American towns. Beautiful place. Very hot and humid in the summer. Madison, Wisconsin,

very left, just like Boulder, Colorado, very left. Lexington, Kentucky, nice place. Hot. I'm not a big heat guy. That's my problem. All right, here's a nice story. You ready for a nice story? So Philadelphia Phillies, boo, I'm a Mets fan. They have a guy Bryce Harper. He's a superstar. I've been in the league since 2012. lives in New Jersey, close to Philly, commutes into the ballpark. There's a kid in Harper's neighborhood named Jake Portello. Jake walks up to Harper, Bryce Harper, in the neighborhood and says, can you help me get a prom date?

Harper says yes. Roll the tape. Jake wants to actually proud and stop out of the time. I want to go to prom with him. So you're going to problem with him? Yes. Awesome. There you go.

You got it. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh. Isn't that nice? Now I'm a big Bryce Harper fan.

I want to bring you some nice news once in a while. Stay in history. May 26. second, 1807, Aaron Burr gets indicted for treason. Come on, you know Aaron Berry, shot Alexander Hamilton dead three years earlier in a duel. So Hamilton was Thomas Jefferson's vice president. Okay, back then in 1800, the top two vote getters were president and vice president. Jefferson and Burr tied. Was it unpopular vote. It was an unpopular vote. and Congress picked Jefferson, thereby Burr hated Jefferson and vice versa.

Four years later, the 12th Amendment was passed where you ran on a ticket, President and vice president, which is what we have now. So Burr got fired, booted out, and he was angry. So the federal government, under Jefferson, who hated him, said Burr was trying to start a new country west of the Mississippi and appoint himself emperor. the feds indicted him on treason. And presiding over the trial was Thomas Jefferson's cousin, Chief Justice John Marshall.

He was a cousin. So Jefferson thought, oh, we got Burr. No, Burr was acquitted. But the American people hated him so much. He had to go to Europe. So Burr came back, died, didn't do much after that. But that happened May 22nd, 18. 2007. I write about that in confronting the presence, by the way. It's really interesting,

the whole dynamic in the Jefferson administration, because there wasn't a lot of friendliness going on. Okay, so we're going to take a quick break. We're going to be back with the final thought. Okay, here's the final thought of the day. Going to D.C. tomorrow, so it won't be doing the show. I do have a very provocative column on Sunday. The name of the column is, will the real extremist, please stand up. Remember that? I've got a secret show. Again, I'm dating myself. You're going to want to read this column.
