Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the NOSFIN News, Monday, July 7, 2025, stand up for your country. Well, our weekend went fast. Did it not? Hope you had a good time. We had a good one out here on Long Island. tip for the chaos from an environmental thing. I'll tell you about in a final thought, it was beyond bizarre, and I think you'll find it

interesting. But first, the talking points memo, the passage of the big bill, the tax and spend bill. So we always encourage you to watch this program with a pen and paper. So I'm going to throw a lot of stats at you. I'm going to do it slower than I usually. I don't read anything. This is all ad-lib from me. But I usually talk at a clip that's pretty energetic.

I'm going to slow it down because I want you to have this information. Because 80% of the press is absolutely lied right to your face. Man, when somebody lies to me, I don't know about you, but that's it. All right? Unless they come and apologize, they're done. I'm not going to deal with liars. And the press is outrageous, and I'll prove it tonight. Okay, big bill.

So the president of the United States signed it into law July 4th, 6.43 p.m. East Coast time. Roll it. A few moments, we're going to make official the greatest victory yet when I signed the one big, beautiful bill. And before I start, I want to tell you that I've never seen people so happy in our country because of that. Some people, some people, but most Americans have no blank an idea what's in the bill, and we are going to change that tonight. Okay, let's just methodically go through it. So within hours of the president signing the bill, a website called Politico, which is a liberal website, but it's a news website, okay? Headlines this, Republicans just cut Medicaid, will it cost them control of Congress?

The headline is absolutely misleading and misleading on purpose. It should say Republicans just revive. Medicaid, didn't cut Medicaid. It revised it. But Politico doesn't want you to know that. It wants Democrats to regain control of Congress in 26, Politico does, and it wants to frighten you. It's what that website is in business to do. And there's no excuse for it. They know better. okay all right so the main thing about medicaid is this the country is thirty six trillion dollars in debt medicaid is a charitable entitlement it's not like social security and medicare where you pay into that so the contract is we pay into it and at the end

of our lives, we get Medicare and Social Security checks, coverage. That's not Medicaid. Medicaid is, you're poor, you can't afford a doctor or hospital, the state will pick up much of your medical expense, and the federal government reimburses the state. All right. it is estimated that 9 million fewer people will be covered by Medicaid over the next decade. Nine million will be off the rolls.

Why? Because this bill commands that anyone receiving Medicaid, able-bodied adult, no dependent children, has to look for work or volunteer. at a charitable institution for 20 hours a week. Now, I work 60 hours a week. 20 hours, no heavy left. But you have to do it. And if you don't do it, you're off the Medicaid rolls.

Also, you have to twice a year report an accurate income figure to the federal government. So you can't game the system. So it's estimated that 9 million people will not do that. Who are those people? Drug addicts? Okay, they're not, they're living under a bridge somewhere, they're running around, they can't be bothered, they're high all the time, alcoholics, same situation, mentally ill. They don't know, they have no control of their lives, they don't know what this bill is, they don't know where to go, they don't know what to do, okay? And basically scofflaw layabouts.

So they're not going to do it, and they're gone. God, that saves over 10 years $1.3 trillion. We need to save it. So the layabouts and the drug addicts, the alcoholics, they don't get it. They can still go to any hospital in the country's emergency room and get treated. That's the law. So the hospitals don't like this at all. They don't like any of this because they know more people are going to come in for free treatment

and hospitals want to make money. Okay. I did not know this. 40 states out of 50 have no Medicaid regulations at all. You can be the worst drug addict in the world. You get your Medicaid payment. You don't have to do a thing. 40 out of 50.

No more. Federal government is not going to reimburse unless that is on. the books. And they're going to, they're going to be an apparatus, keep track of those people. Where'd you go? Who'd you see? Where you're volunteering, whatever. Finally, there is a medical exemption. You can't work, you can't look for work, whatever may be, you're exempted. This is a good, solid bill for the country. This. All right. Now, when you have 100 million Americans out of 340 million, receiving some kind of government assistance,

you got a welfare state. That leads to a decline of society. 100 million people receive some kind of government largesse. It's crazy. Now, that is up 113% in 10 years. We are becoming a welfare state, thanks to the Democratic Party and the progressive philosophy. Give everybody anything they want.

And you heard it, you hear it every blanking day. Okay? That is an astronomical rise. It's bankrupting the United States. And a lot of those people are gaming the system. You know it. I know it. Everybody, the states, the 40 out of 50, they're gaming the system.

Why should they care whether this regulations, the feds, reimbursed? And then the state slap on taxes as high as 6% on all medical. Medicaid payments. So the state gets money, they say to the federal government, you've got to reimburse us 6% because we're taxing it. And Trump goes, no, we're going to cap it at 3.5. So the states, they're going to lose 2.5% on all Medicaid payments that they tax. You see the game?

You see the con? Of course, they don't like it. All right. Any questions, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. But I think I've run it down pretty effectively. You don't understand it. I can't. I can't come to your house.

Okay. But every stat I gave you is in stone. We are becoming a welfare state. Now on a tax side. Okay. Tax cuts. There are no cuts. Not one cut.

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, 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.

This is an extension of the 2017 Trump tax bill. The brackets stay the same. Okay? The top bracket is, I think, 38%. Okay. very few people are in the top dacket, but that's the top bracket. 40% of American homes pay no income tax at all, not a dime to the feds. Almost half the country pays not one dime.

The other 60%, people like you, people like me, work our butts off. We're paying all taxes. Now, they'll tell you the billionaires on paying taxes. Yeah, they are. Okay, but they have so much money that they don't even care. I don't have sympathy for billionaires. Let's be honest in our assessment here. So at this point, the federal government takes in $5 trillion from us, we the taxpayers, five trillion.

They spend $7 trillion. The government sends $7 trillion in a year, so they're in a hole for $2 trillion every year, which is why we have a third. $36 trillion debt and rising. We got to get that down to an even parity. That's why you're seeing all of these things. Trump administration believes by keeping the tax rates the same, that more people will prosper, will have more cash,

more people will work, business will expand, because there are some new business deductions in here, and they'll hire more people so tax money will flow more tax money. That's the theory. And it works. You look at the historical amount of money coming into the federal government. So all of this tax breaks for the rich, billionaires, this, it's all alive. It's cooked up by the progressive left and the Democratic Party because that's all they got.

A lot of these progressors are socialists. They want the government to control the economy. They don't want a free economy. You keep that in mind. An SME. All right. So let me go. I'm going to do four reactions to the passage of this bill.

The first is the socialist, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Go. This is the largest withdrawal and end. of health care in American history, 17 million people in our country, 17 million Americans in our country are going to lose their Medicaid, they're going to lose their ACA insurance. No, they're not going to lose it if they comply with the rules. Okay? Now, Ocasio Cortez wants socialized medicine. Again, that's something you have to understand. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren.

and Cortez, they want the government to pay all health costs for everybody. That's what they want. And that would bankrupt the system so that they'd have to pay, instead of a 38% top income tax, it would have to be 65% to cover that. Because remember, 40% don't pay any of the American homes. So you'd have to raise that level from 38 to 65. He even come close to covering the government covering health care costs. But that's what they want.

Punish achievement. They don't like people who have a lot of money. All right. So that's Ocasio Cortez. Now we got Aaron Burnett. Aaron Burnett is a 7 o'clock anchor on CNN, and she's an avowed liberal. All right. Go.

It's very clear about how many people are going to be kicked off of health care until you were against the CDO. No, ma'am. No, ma'am. No, ma'am. Listen, listen, if you want to do the editorial, just go ahead and you don't need me on here. Good for him. Okay, kicked off health care. Yeah, if you don't look for work. I guess you got a problem with that, Aaron. Huh? Third, MSNBC, the most radical left news organization in the country. He'll be signing into law a bill that virtually everyone on Capitol Hill,

Hill either openly or tacitly admits is a piece of garbage. I mean, it's fundamental structure, like the big things it does, is hand out tax cuts to the very wealthy, to corporations, and cuts nearly $8 trillion with a tea out of Medicaid over the next decade. Okay. Very wealthy corporations. They hate corporations, by the way, these people, even though corporations pay health costs for their employees.

Such as, they're so stupid, it's painful. Okay, so the corporate tax rate is 21%. It stays the same. Didn't cut it, but the socialist wanted 50%. And of course, that would mean that the corporations have let fire all these people. Because capitalism dictates, corporations are in this to make money. Socialists don't want that.

All right. You can write off a few things under this bill you couldn't, and that's what they're seizing on the Socialists. The final one is Congressman Robert Garcia of California. First, this bill is horrific for the American public, and certainly it is crazy that you would have Republicans in competitive districts voting to rip away health care, rip away food assistance. so that they can give huge tax breaks to billionaires. That is the biggest lie I think I've heard. Nobody's ripping anything away from anybody. And, of course, NBC's meet the press. No pushback on that.

Say whatever you want. All right. I just threw this in because those of us in very heavily taxed states, like New York, where I am, we had to pay Fed and state income tax. Now, there's a break in there up to $40,000 that you can write off for your state income tax for high earners.

But here are the states that have the highest income taxes. This is just state. California, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Vermont, Wisconsin, Maine. What are all of those states have in common? What do all of them have in common? They're all liberal. All liberal states run by the Democratic machine.

Every one of them. Wisconsin is, you know, close, but it's left. They just want to take money away from the achievers and give it to the have-nots. That's it. Okay. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Post. and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

and we're going to work very strong and smart and we're going to put you in charge We're going to make you responsible, and I think that that's going to make a lot of people happy. Now, serious radical right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy, but they'll understand. No. And I can understand. The hard right, the older right, wants all migrants to deport it. I'll just give you one. There's a million of them.

You can just go on X and all these places. And this is from a woman named Melissa Melendez, Melendez. from California used to be a state senator out there, quote. So if I'm not to understand this correctly, we should look the other way regarding illegal immigration as long as it's in the construction hotel or restaurant industries. This is far beyond disappointing. It's infuriated. So Ms. Melendez and members of the hard right want everybody who's here without proper

credentials out. But Trump and other people say, look, we get into a crisis stage with workers because we can't fill the jobs, particularly in agriculture, service industry, jobs, that kind of thing. But this solution is fairly easy. Congress should pass laws that give out more green cards. Okay, special visas to do agricultural work. That's what should happen. It's not hard.

Trump gets behind it. They can do it tomorrow because Democrats all vote for that. 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're a special event called The Rebirth of the American Dream, where we're going to consider. we will reveal. Donald Trump's plan to eliminate inflation while supercharging growth. How a new wave of AI could create unprecedented wealth. It entails on six specific stocks the potential to soar in Trump's second term and a complete road back to achieving your own

American dream. Plus, everyone who attends gets a chance to claim a free copy of my number one bestselling book confronting the president's. Please visit trumpsamerican dream.com now to secure your All right, I got a guy I book today I want to talk to. His name is Jose Antonio Vargas. He comes to us from Berkeley, California. He's got a book out and paperback. Originally, he wrote this book in September 18, but he's upgraded it. In the introduction of the book, he cites me, quote, since publicly declaring my undocumented status to Del Levin, greeted by the likes of Bill O'Reilly as the most famous illegal in America, I visited a city,

and towns of 49 states engaging all kinds of people. Most Americans I discovered have no idea how the immigration system works, what the immigration citizenship process requires how difficult, if not downright, impossible it is for undocumented people to get legal. All the while undocumented workers like me pay billions of taxes through a government that detains and deports us. That sounds pretty dastardly to me, and as I said, Mr. Vargas joins us from Berkeley, California. So you and I don't see this eye to eye, Mr. Vargas. But we do have some common ground. I believe that Congress should make it easier for foreign nationals to work in this country.

They have to have a clean sheet. They have to have no crime. They have to be responsible people. They probably have to put up some kind of collateral to get in here. All that can be done. But I do not agree with you that the immigration process is that difficult. And I'll cite the stats. Okay.

So there are four million legal Filipino immigrants in this country right now, at least that status is three years old. So you got probably about five or six million. Population of Philippines is 117 million. So we'd be pretty generous to the islands. All right. The last five years have been about a million new green cards. I think that should be tripled to three million.

Okay. And there are 400, there are 4 million new U.S. citizens in five years. So you say that they don't understand. Well, four million do. Any reply to those stats? Well, first of all, thank you for having me. Second of all, I do think we have more in common than you think. And I think a lot of it has to do with what shared facts we have.

Thank you for citing all those statistics. Actually, let me give you a little. bit more statistics. So estimated 5 million Filipinos, about 1.4 million of that in California, where I grew up since 1993, there are actually more Filipinos in California than there are people in New Hampshire, Delaware, and Rhode Island. That's how big the Filipino population in this country has gotten. And to your point, I'm grateful that the United States has been generous to the Philippines. And I think a lot of that also has to do. it, you know, the Philippines was a property of the United States. We were actually the first

country that became a part of the American Empire in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. So we have a long history together, right? So the Philippines was a colony of Spain for 250 years and then the Americans came for almost 50 years. That's why apparently when you go to the Philippines where I haven't been since I was 12, the Philippines is the most Americanized of all the Asian countries so i just wanted to point that out now to address your question i and i've been thinking a lot about this since we just celebrated july fourth weekend apparently during during the founding father's era when when the 13 colonies declared independence from from the british empire there were 2.5 million people in the colonies right now in this country and i don't know if i believe

these estimates. I don't know, Bill, if you do, estimates say that we have 12 million undocumented people in this country. I think there's more than 12 million. I don't really, I don't believe that number. I want to, look, I want to advance your belief system. Now, you're an accomplished man, okay? You won a Pulitzer Prize working for the Washington Post. You've contributed to this country. The name of your book is Dear America, Notes of an undocumented citizen, but you are dead. You have a visa. Nobody's going to kick your door and grab you at this point. But it's been a struggle, and it's been a struggle that's unfair to you because you were a people smuggler brought you here when you were 12.

Your family wanted that happened. Yeah. This is not your fault. You had no... I had no... But, Bill, to your point, it took me 31 years. I have what's called an O visa, right? So I had to leave the country, this country, since I...

To get the visa. I want to go all the way through that. What I'm trying to say to you and to the audience is there are ways to do it. It's not easy, but nothing worthwhile is easy. You did it. Millions of other foreign nationals have come here legally. The people who come here illegally, okay, they have no right to feel entitled to be here. Now, I'm not saying they should all be mass deported.

I'm not. I want to get you taking a few things. Joe Biden opened the border. Okay? Did you support that? When you say open the border, meaning what? You mean what all those refugees were coming? Come on, you know what I mean, Jose. Don't give me any of this. You know exactly what I mean.

He opened the border, at least 12 million people poured across it, many of whom asked for asylum, not in the legal way in the ports of entry. Did you support the Biden program or not? Yes or no? No. No. Okay. What was your objection? My, okay, a couple objections. The 12 million people did not come through during Biden's era. They've been coming for decades.

No, but at least 12 million did. At least 12, every estimate, it's 12 to 15 under Biden, poured in here, most of whom asked for asylum, violating American law because they didn't go to the port of entry. That's the stat from the federal government. You want to quibble, it gets us nowhere. Yeah. So what objection did you have to the Biden thing? What was your objection to that Biden? My objection is, I think the fact that we don't have an orderly system, like what you just said a few minutes ago, there should be a process that people ought to follow to come to

this country. Okay. And I agree, we're on common graph. Yes. But what if they don't follow it? come on what if they don't what will bill well it's a problem we have the right to kick them out well wait a second yes yes we do and however that's why we have 12 million people in this country legally because there's no process for people to follow but there is a process

well there is that that okay as somebody bill who lived through this i had to wait 31 years for this window of an opportunity to follow. Okay, Jose, I know that. But do you know how many immigration attorneys there are in California? Oh, thousands. Thousands, yes. And they're getting people to stay here by using our system of due process. So don't tell me there's no way that you can become a legalized citizen because there is.

So, Bill, why are there 12 million undocumented people in the country? then if there's a process for them to follow the legalization. Because they don't want to follow it or they don't have the money to follow it. One of the two. That, by the way, is I think the biggest myth in journalism that we have to bring, that people don't want, are too lazy to follow a process. Look at the dreamers. The dreamers in this country had to pay $500,000, about $800,000 of them or so,

had to have to pay $500 so that this government doesn't deport them so that they can work legally. Okay, look, there's always going to be that kind of a thing. Trump is actually, he's actually sympathetic to the dreamers. But Jose, for you to come on here and say there's no process for foreign nationals to come here legally is simply not true. They advertise on television. The immigration attorneys are at there.

Come to me. I'll get you here. I'll get you there. It's a booming industry. Bill, how many, how many, how many, how many, How many immigrants are there in the country today? Do you know how many? Illegal immigrants or all talk?

Immigrants in general, overall. How many? How many million? Number it's 50 million, something like that? About 49 million. Of that 49 million, of that 49, this is according to the peer research center, which is a nonpartisan organization. Right.

Within that 49 million, 12 million are undocumented, right? Those 12, again, and you and I both know that just destroys your argument. Because you're saying there's no pathway. and most of the people are here legally. No, no, no, no. But please hear me out here. The 12 million people live within 49 million people, right? There are people in that family, like in my own family,

that could call lawyers and naturalize themselves and actually adjust and change their status. I was one of those 12 million people that couldn't just do that. I had to wait 31 years for this very specific thing so that I could legalize myself. Okay. I understand that, and I'm sympathetic to it. And Congress should.

It's Congress's fault. It's Congress's fault. They could make new laws that impose order. But for the left to scream that we have a Gestapo, that we're throwing people out and this and we're cruel. That's just hype. So last word. Go ahead.

One thing that we must agree on, this may be an opportunity, if there was ever an opportunity, look, we've been talking about illegal immigration since I moved to this country in 1993, right? If there was ever an opportunity to actually fix this problem and come up with a solution, this would be it. All right, and I agree. You and I could probably come up with this problem, figure this out in two weeks, okay? Yes.

But these pinheads in D.C. all have agendas, one side or the other. I agree 100%. The book is, Dear America, notes of an undocumented citizen, Jose Antonio Vargas. Jose, thanks to taking a fire. We appreciate you coming on tonight. Thank you for having me. Okay. Texas

flood update. Active nature. Oh, my God. You know, all these kids that were a camp and the Guadalupe River overflows its banks and they're all washed the way. There'll be about 100 dead before it's all over. President Trump going there

on Friday, federal government is, you know, going to provide relief. But you see something like that, nothing, nobody can do anything. Anybody blaming anybody is just ignorant and stupid. Ignorant and stupid, that may be redundant. Today, Donald Trump is meeting with BB Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel. If anything happens on that, we'll report it tomorrow. Have a dinner tonight. Eli Musk wants a new party, the America Party, I wrote about it in a message

is today on bill o'reilly.com that should be required reading for every single american citizen but i i can't go to everybody's house and force them but if you read the message of the day about why this is not going to work uh i think you'll be engaged i think you'll be engaged not a bad idea i like third parties i like the more options the better but this is not going to work uh and i tell you why and we'll uh i want you to read it response Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com tomorrow, we'll kick it around. Smart life. So if a member of your family is murdered, the police themselves will tell you it's 50% whether they catch the murder or not. Assault, 46%, robbery, 28%, rape, 27% vehicle theft, only 8% people steal cars are

arrested, okay, and prosecute it. So this is grim. I've told you and told you and told you that American law enforcement is good, probably the best in the world. I mean, you can't compare it to the police state of China or Russia because those people, there's no rights. But the American police apparatus is good, but there's so many crimes. They're overwhelmed. So you've got, it's reactive. You're dead, and then somebody calls 911. How's that going to help you? Somebody breaks into your house, they take your stuff, you come home, you call the cops, they come, they're not going to catch them. Okay? And in places like New York City, they won't even prosecute people if they catch them. And that's what killed Andrew Cuomo, because he signed

that insane crime bill. That's what killed him in New York. Not the nursing hall and I was bad, but the other stuff they threw at him. It was that. So, smart life. I've been a victim of a crime once. Somebody broke into my apartment in Portland, Oregon. And no, nobody caught the person, of course. But I'm very, very, I see the room.

Wherever I go, I see the, I'm in the most dangerous places in a country. I've been there. Most dangerous places on earth I've been. But I see the room. I'm aware of my surroundings. I'm aware of who's hanging out. You can ask my kids. Okay?

Dad is taking them someplace. Dad knows who's around. Home. Got to have the cameras. Okay? Got to happen. Now they're going to wear hoods. They're going to do all that.

But that inhibits the amateurs. If it's a pro, the camera's not going to stop. Then you've got to have really, good locks, and they got them. They got them. And you've got to have a really good insurance company. Okay? And you're going to make sure the doors are locked and this and that and that. But if somebody's targeting, he'll get in. But they want the easy stuff. These robbers, most of them are drug addicts. They don't want the hard stuff. They want the easy stuff. You make it hard to be a crime victim. Okay? You don't go. I say to my kids, if you're out after one in the morning,

If you are out on the street after one, you're asking for it. You're asking for it. Wrap it by one. Smart life. Be aware. Stay in history, July 7, 1865, four American citizens were executed, hung by the neck until dead for participating in the assassination of President Lincoln. They are. Lewis Powell, 21 years old.

He attacked Secretary of State William Suisse. at the same time, Lincoln was shot. He didn't kill Seward, but he really hurt him bad. He stabbed him a number of times. David Harold, 23 years old. He was tasked with hiding John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln. Okay? George Azarot. He was supposed to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson, but he chickened out, didn't save him. They found him 30 years old, they hung him. And the first woman in the USA, who was executed Mary Sarat up to her eyebrows and the conspiracy used for boarding house to hide all the conspirators and Booth. And John Wilkes Booth, if you read Killing Lincoln, which is our best

selling book ever. First one, Killing Lincoln. Booth was tracked down in Virginia and he shot him, killed him. So they didn't have to execute John Wook Booth. Killing Lincoln, you want to know about that, that is the book. Back with Fourth of July, Chaos. in a moment. So here where I am, they have big fireworks display on eastern Long Island and everybody was on the beach waiting for the fireworks and thousands and

thousands of people. We're here. And they didn't happen. Why? Because of the piping clover bird. Unbelievable. So about an hour before the fireworks are supposed to go off. Somebody

saw a piping plover. go to a nest. They're protected environmentally. And they should be. A lot of them, we want them around. But they said, no, we saw it by a big blower, no fireworks. All these people spend hundreds of dollars,

sometimes thousands, to come here to watch the fireworks. And there they are. And there's no like bullhorn. You're waiting for the fireworks, and there's this bird, and they don't have them. It's East Hampton Town. Now, I'm sympathetic, as I said, to the environmental stuff, but this was insane. Then they said, oh, what happened Sunday?

No, the birds still there or something. You couldn't move the nest or get a little something over there. Anyway, that's what happened. Not whining, just reporting. Good show today. I hope you got a lot out of it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
