Starting point is 00:01:12 Welcome to the No Spin News. Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025, stand up for your country. This is the year-ender, and it stars you. Do we got a lot of good questions? And I'll answer them as best I can. We'll have some fun, but there's some serious stuff in there as well. Questions that pertain to the country, to the world, but also personal stuff. Before we get there, some headlines on the day before Christmas Eve.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So gas prices hit a four-time low according to Gas Buddy, which is a good website. And Gas Buddy can tell you in your area, wherever you live, in America. where the most inexpensive gases, go gaspuddy.com. So in 2022, Biden, gas average five bucks a gallon, remember that? And that's because Biden knocked off while drilling, and it was climate change, central, all that, $5 in 22. In 24, two years later, it was down to three. All right, so Biden got it down a little bit. And now, at the end of 2025, it's 285.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Cheapest place for gas, Texas, $2.45, average gasoline, regular cost. California, of course, most expensive because of the heavy taxes, $4.30. Charity. So people are cutting back. 30% of Americans, they're not going to give anything to anybody. That's not good, all right? You're here for a reason. The reason isn't to be selfish.
Starting point is 00:03:03 A little lecture. Actually, you know, 68% of Americans have donated money this year. It's higher than anyone else in the world. So we are generous people. But you're 30% come on, get on it. It's Christmas. Let me break. Denmark.
Starting point is 00:03:22 So the governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, has been appointed by President Trump as special envoy to Greenland. So I don't really know how this is going to work out. Louisiana is far away from Greenland and the governor will stay in his position in Bat Rouge.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I think what this is all about is Trump wants a minerals deal, very favorable terms, and he wants ports for warships to counter Russia. I think that's what this is all about. It's not going to be any invasion of Denmark. We're not going to be Putin.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Okay? But of course, the hysterical press, oh, and then Denmark, you're not going to invade us. I don't think that will happen. I pray it doesn't happen because that would not be good for anybody. And finally, no Ukraine, Russia, Christmas sees fire. Putin doesn't want it. You know, he's still firing. rockets and civilians, four-year-old child, two days before Christmas, killed over there. It's just ridiculous. He's such a villain. My God. If you really want a modern-day Hitler, that's Putin.
Starting point is 00:04:42 And that's why I put him on a cover of confronting evil with old Adolf and Stalin. I'm not Stalin. And the Ayatollah and Mao. Those are the four miscreants on a cover, 11 others in the book. So you figure that Blad parades himself around as this Orthodox Christian guy. He would just knock it off for a week or so. No. And there's no reason why there's to kill four-year-old children.
Starting point is 00:05:16 What a horrible... What a horrible... I don't even know if I could be in this company. I really don't. We got a couple of letters from yesterday's program. I want to knock them out. And then we'll get to the general letters for this special edition of the No Spin News.
Starting point is 00:05:33 So we got George says companies that take strong political stands get none of my business, regardless of whom they support. Same goes to celebrities. It's an abuse of power. Okay. I don't dispute that. I do respect. people speaking your minds if they feel it necessary. But if you want to not buy from them,
Starting point is 00:05:59 absolutely within your rights. Terry Monaco, Daytona Beach, Florida. What happened this week with Elise Stefani? Well, she is the Congress of New York who's going to run against Governor Hockel. She dropped out of the race and given up her congressional seed in upstate New York. I was surprised. She raised $12 million. I made a few calls to people in the know, and they say she did not want a Republican primary. The Congresswoman did want to go through that, and Bruce Blakman, who runs my county, Nassau, announced that he was going to run. And then Trump said, oh, I like them both, clearly signaling he was going to make an endorsement,
Starting point is 00:06:44 and that Ms. Stefana counted on that endorsement. person. So she said, well, I'm not going to go through the process. He's got a young son. I understand. Stephen Holmesmeyer, Evansville, Indiana. Your comment, O'Reilly, on the issue of high insurance rates, it's right on a mark. My home and auto recorded record record earnings 2004, yet hit me with a 21% increase in premiums. Greed. And I talked to President Trump about this when I was at the White House a couple of weeks ago, I think he was going to do something. I hope so, because it's just greed, everybody's getting pounded, and these guys are making a record amounts of money, because they know you've got to have insurance. Stay law.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Cannot have it. It'd be foolish not to have it anyway. Okay, so that's the breaking news of the day. Let's go to, and we appreciate everybody who's written in. I can't write it. read them all but um i read them all i did i read every single one of them i don't really appreciate you guys taking the time so anna in netta waka kansas kicks us off what do you think was the most important story you covered this year and the most frivolous uh the border was the most important. President Trump's ceiling down that border was a stunning achievement that quickly and stopping that madness very important. The most frivolous is this internet stuff. I don't know why anybody was a time on it. It means absolutely
Starting point is 00:08:33 nothing. Alan West Monroe in New York. Why are there so many pharmaceutical commercials constantly bombarding television. Yet, the health care is so expensive. Again, greed. So these companies want your money. They're going to tell you what they have. They're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars doing that, and they'll make it up with sales, and then they'll raise their prices on the sales, on the drugs. Nice, right? Wrong. Ruth,
Starting point is 00:09:16 Manahawk in New Jersey. You may have addressed this, but I missed it. What's your opinion on ending the filibuster? That would throw the government into chaos because then every two years, you'd have new laws coming in. So Donald Trump has this law, and then who's ever after him?
Starting point is 00:09:39 well no we go back in this law so congress couldn't do any work new work they'd be old work changing laws all time that's why the filibuster was put there to prevent that kind of chaos in a senate and house i am opposed to knocking out the filibuster harold tusson arizona regarding the ukraine war i see it as going to going down this way. Putin is a new Adolf Hitler in the Russian military and people are the new German Nazis. President Trump seems to be siding with the Russians, urging the Ukrainians to surrender what's your view. He's not siding with the Russians. He knows that Putin's not going to stop unless he gets the occupied land that he holds. Though the war gone forever. And people will die
Starting point is 00:10:36 forever. So, the president is urging Zelensky to say, okay, I'm losing 12% of my land, but I'm going to get security guarantees from NATO, so Putin can't take any more. And Trump says the best deal he can get, but he's not siding with Russia. Renee, San Antonio, Texas, what would your ideal Christmas present be? You know, I, Renee, as a God's honest truth, there isn't anything on a face of the earth that I want. Nothing. I'm not a material, I never have been. I have two nice homes.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Okay, I work for them. And they are probably my best purchases ever. I have a 10-year-old car. It's a great car. Cadillac. It's got an eight in it. I know, I know global warming, but boy, is a good. is a good car. I'm not going to get rid of it. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.
Starting point is 00:11:42 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 and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious medals 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 in 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 866-3-2-6, 55-76, or text bill to 9.5-6. 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998899. I get my suits free because, you know, some companies want to be associated with me.
Starting point is 00:12:54 There's really nothing, nothing that I want. So what I try to do is when people want to give me gifts. I said, look, Give it to this charity. This year I'm big on Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the mentoring groups, which are all over the country. So thank you for asking though, Renee. Brian, Palmetto, Florida. Can we hear more about the books you are reading or find interesting?
Starting point is 00:13:23 My reading is cut down drastically because I'm writing my next book called Confronting America what has to change. Takes up all of my discretionary time. There's a historian named Rick Atkinson. It's good. He's got a Revolutionary War trilogy right now. You might check that out.
Starting point is 00:13:43 And the second part of Brian's question is, do you ever read authors that have different political opinions than you, such as Stephen King? Of course I do. Of course. The Stand King's best work. Excellent book. Tracy, Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:14:01 You think Governor Pritzker is the worst or as Tim Wal's ineptitude rocket him to the top of the list. That's a close one. But since Illinois is a bigger state and more people dying on a daily basis, I've got to still go with Pritzker. Walls is really bad.
Starting point is 00:14:23 How did the Democratic Party could have ever selected him as VP? Hard to believe. Boy, is he a... Oh, horrible. And that was a SOP, SOP, to the far left, they love Walls. Jack Chandler, Arizona, what do you believe is the greatest danger facing the USA next year, 2006?
Starting point is 00:14:50 I think that China is a danger to the world, danger to everybody. And I'm hoping that in April, President Trump can wrap up a fair trade deal so that that the Chinese back off a little bit. That's a country that could do major damage to this country and to the world. All right, that's why I went there to Beijing in May.
Starting point is 00:15:15 That's the big one. Ed, Bill, police is plain irrational on how you arrive at 15% of the population being evil. As I always say, this is an observational stat. Can I have been all over the world, covered wars, covered everything.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Know everybody. About 15%. It's growing. The norm is growing. As religion declines, spirituality declines, evil is rising. No doubt in my mind. Michael, Manhattan Beach, California, how can you believe Democrats, once they are back in power,
Starting point is 00:15:54 would not open the border again? I have no doubt they would because they need all the voters. Okay, that's possible. think they could do it the way Biden did it with 15 million porn in here. That destroyed Biden's presidency. It'd probably be more lax. I think that would be an easy prediction. Lawrence, San Angelo, Texas. Is it at all possible, as President Trump proposes, that the tariff revenue would negate income taxes? no it's just not enough not enough money it's not going to negate income tax why would the government
Starting point is 00:16:43 do that yeah we get votes but government needs a lot of money trillions trillions every year they're not going to negate income taxes because tariffs come and go okay let's go to our lien Subispo, California, nice town. What do you consider the biggest challenge President Trump faces in heading into the new year? Bringing prices down. So he's on the way with the gas, as we reported up top. But food is vexing.
Starting point is 00:17:21 You've got to get those food prices down. And insurance. That's the big one. You know, you don't have to go to a restaurant. You don't have to eat Porterhouse. steak. You can eat chicken or tuna or things that are a lot less expensive. You got to have insurance. And those insurance companies are gouging us. Absolutely. So, the president's got to take it on. If he does, you could turn to win a good chance. Republicans are
Starting point is 00:17:58 win them in terms. That's how big desk is. Ted Winfield, Missouri. President Trump has proposed term limits for houses of Congress, peers that Americans support that. Is there any realistic way it'll be enacted? No. Americans do support term limits, but the people in the Senate and the House don't want to give up their power. So at this point of history, could change down the road, not happening. Sylvester, Keiha, Hawaii. I would like it if you could find out, O'Reilly, the reason for Hawaii's food being so much higher
Starting point is 00:18:44 than in the mainland, even if you take into account the shipping costs. Because, number one, you have taxes like crazy taxing everything in Hawaii. Highest tax, is it the highest tax date? It's almost tied with New York, but you know you have plenty of tax. And the shipping is just huge. What's Hawaii? 2,000 miles away from California?
Starting point is 00:19:11 I mean, it's just harder to get it there. And that's why. David Lumberton, New Jersey. What can be done to stop public figures from ignoring laws they don't like? Like judges, I'm sure you're talking about that. Litigation. You challenge the judge, the judge is overturned. Now, if you get soft-on-crime judges, as we do here in New York City and other big urban areas,
Starting point is 00:19:37 they don't want to prosecute anybody, and so miscreans go out and there can be crimes over and over, violent crimes. You can impeach them, they'll never happen, or you can vote them out. The machine here in New York is Democrat, they kind of like the soft judges, I guess. Most people don't even know who the judges are or what they do. You'd have to be microed in on that. And most people don't have the time to do it. Shane, Bunker Hill, Indiana.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Are you going to get another dog at some point? Boy, we miss Holly here, the tarot dog, particularly around Christmas. But I can't get a dog right now because I have too much to do. And when I had Holly, I didn't like to, I never put her in a car. kennel. So we had to get other people coming in and minding her. And the big thing is the urchins are out now. They're not here. So they used to take care of Holly. I'd like to get another dog. There's a dog in a neighborhood named Finnegan. It was a really nice dog, but I can't at this point.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Manville, Illinois. What are your traditions for Christmas and New Year's? New Year's nothing. Fony holiday. So I'm not watching the games. I've never been a New Year's guy, ever. Had a cover Times Square a few times as a reporter. Not good.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Christmas traditional. Everybody comes over. Changes gifts on Christmas Day because we go to church on Christmas Eve. I used to go to midnight Mass, but I'd be nodding off in the epistle if I want now. So we go to early evening Mass.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And then after the gifts, we have a nice dinner. I think like Christmas music and, you know, all that, nothing big. Craig, Philly, Nebraska. Bill, where is Linda Johnson's there in your ranking of the worst president's top 10. Johnson lied about Vietnam, 55,000 dead, more than 100,000, probably 200,000 Americans
Starting point is 00:22:05 hurt. And Johnson didn't tell the truth. Whatever else he did doesn't really matter. And it's a good chapter in confronting the president's because I document everything. He was not a good guy. Karen, the villages, Florida, all the extra money we're making for tariffs, why doesn't anybody mention paying down a huge deficit? It's been mentioned, but Donald Trump's a spender. You're not a frugal guy. You know, he wants to expand this or building all the Navy ships now. All that's necessary, but it's not going to pay down a debt. Jay, Santa Barbara, California. Bill with all of you contributed to journalism, improving your well-being of this country, what is your singular moment above all others that you are most proud
Starting point is 00:22:59 up? That would be raising more than $30 million to get those track chairs for the severely wounded vets in Iraq and Afghanistan. That was quite an achievement to do that. And I had to put the arm on the presidents to do it and help out. But we got it done. Every single debt who needed a track chair got it from the Independence Fund. Everyone. And it costs $15,000 to $20,000 each, those chairs. But it gives you freedom.
Starting point is 00:23:39 You go to the beach, you go hunting, get around. So that is by far the most important thing that I've done in my, journalism career. James, San Antonio, another San Antonio. Hope you guys get on a riverwalk. I know you will for Christmas, nicely decorated there. What do you have to say about school choice as a state or national law? State is good.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Feds don't get involved with education. That's a state or local concern, so that's not happening. But I believe that Americans should have a choice to send their kids to school. Now, it's a little complicated because the private schools have to remain privately funded. They cost more than our public schools. But they're opening now charter schools, you know, where there's more discipline. There's more emphasis on education and other frivolities. armed for that, for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Barry Brownstown, Michigan. Previously, I asked you why you weren't a famine of BB Netanyahu, and you responded. He was too inflexible in response to the war. Light of recent events in Australia and other
Starting point is 00:25:08 Islamic threats, are you becoming more sympathetic to Netanyahu's approach? I was never opposed to Netanyahu's hard line against Islamic terrorism. Ever. But there comes a point where you have to bend a little bit to get things done. Now Trump has handled Netanyahu very well. Biden was ridiculous. Netanyahu hated him and he hated Netanyahu and he hated Netanyahu and he got nothing done and it was chaos. That's what led up to October 7th. Okay, but Trump, you know, I don't think Trump's particularly fond of BB, but they work together, which is the most important thing.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Wendy Kamala, Hawaii, it's time for the conversation to shift to Islam, is not compatible with our American values. Will you focus on this in the new year? No, why would I do that? Muslims are less than 1% of the United States population. Not a, they're a factor in a few towns, but there's no Muslim threat from within. FBI's all over that. So why would I focus on it? A lot of stories, Wendy, that are getting really important here.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Jason, Scottsdale, Arizona. If Teddy Roosevelt existed today, would he have used Twitter in a similar way to Donald Trump? That's an interesting question, isn't it? Both of our very bellicose, word of the day, blustery, big personalities. But Teddy had some advisors close to him that pulled him back a little bit when Teddy got a little raucous. Donald Trump doesn't have that. I think that the closest thing might be me, you know, but Teddy did have that. So Teddy's instinct was just like President Trump's instinct.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Go get him. But sometimes he restrained himself. William Lakewood, Ohio. I'm sorry. William Lakewood, Ohio. In your opinion, what are the two most important improvements needed from the Trump administration that would keep us in control? of the Senate and a House.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Us? Was there a mouse in your pocket? The old cliche joke. Us? I assume you're a Republican. Obviously, lowering prices is enormous as we've gone over and over and over. It's enormous.
Starting point is 00:28:02 And I think the health care situation, new health care legislation might not get passed, but if the Republicans put it up so everybody can see it, That I help a lot. Robert, Houston, Texas, president is focusing on supply-side drug control. Fewer president what specific steps would you take to reduce drug demand in the USA. So if you're a criminal and you are arrested for committing a crime, allegedly, you would be drug tested.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And they do that now for public safety. If you had drugs in your bloodstream and you were convicted of the crime, then you would be sent to an in-house rehab center. That means for a period of time, say a year, 18 months, you're off the street and you're in non-voluntary rehab. That will crush the market because most drug addicts are. criminals. Committing crimes is a sport to habit. That's what I would do, and they do it in a number of countries, and it works. Matthew, Syracuse, New York. My question is, who do you feel are the next generation of quality journalists? Enjoy your appearance on News Nation with Leland Vitter. Feel he is an investigative, an objective person, much like yourself. Vitt is very good.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Very good. And brave. If you read his book, Born Lucky. you'll see that. So he's going, he's won. There are a few. News Nation has a good young crew, I think. They try. They try to be objective. Fox has some good people. Stronger women than men now. Interesting enough at Fox. But they have some good reporters on a street, no doubt. The networks, you know, I don't follow them that closely. But what I see is not impressive. Got to have guts to be a good reporter. Alfred, Paris, California.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Joe Biden did something good. He signed the PAC Act. It helped more than veterans claim benefits. I didn't serve in Vietnam, but in Thailand, where they did spray Agent Orange. Okay, the PAC Act, I didn't even know about it. So I'm glad our war vets should get every. opportunity. So, thank you for telling me that, Alfred. Brandon, Fisher's Indiana. What can President Trump do to lower insurance costs?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Can he put political pressure on the states to somehow get them to let us buy cheaper insurance across state lines? States can't do that. Congress can. That's where the pressure should go. Now, insurance should be able to be purchased across state lines, okay? That would lower the costs. But the insurance companies, they can be pressured by President Trump directly. He can sign deals with them. For example, the president can say, hey, I want you to lower your premium prices an average of 15%.
Starting point is 00:31:25 What are they going to say, no? That wouldn't be wise. can do it. Matter will. Bernard, Silver Spring, Maryland. What would the United States have done if Germany did not declare a war in a USA after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor? Well, Germany was trying to take over the world. The United States was supplying Great Britain and other countries that were resisting. So sooner or later, there was going to be a reckoning between Hitler. and FDR. That's most likely would have happened. And this Bernard's second question, history, why was in General McArthur a court marshal for not being prepared after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?
Starting point is 00:32:16 That wasn't McArthur's fault. He's a general, not a strategist, not intel. Better question might be, with all due respect, Bernard, why was any court marshal when he defied President Truman about using the atom bomb against the Chinese. That was clear in subordination. And the answer to that question is McArthur was far too popular in the United States for Truman and do that. Lindy, Peyton, Colorado.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Hey, Bill, my question concerns the midterms and the 2008 election. You mentioned that the midterms could be affected by the economy and our President Trump is managing it, potentially allowing Democrats to regain control of Congress. Same time you've stated the Democratic Party is on a verge of collapse and unlikely you get it together for the midterms. If you end up with a lame duck president,
Starting point is 00:33:10 how might that affect the election of 2008? All right. Number one, I didn't say that the Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse. I don't believe I said that. I said it has not rehabbed itself from its dependence on the far-left progressive loons. still associated with them. That is not good. And I'm not seeing a lot of good policy
Starting point is 00:33:35 coming out of Democratic precincts. I'm seeing a lot of criticism. Not seeing a lot of positive stuff for you. B.R. let me know. But I'm not seeing it. If President Trump loses one or both houses, then he is curtailed. His power declines.
Starting point is 00:33:55 So that would obviously hurt the Republicans in 20. we unless cruises new mexico uh one of my biggest concerns is lack of integrity of our judicial branch will the department justice start to show progress toward prosecuting high-ranking lawbreakers yeah if they have evidence you got to have evidence and figure if they did they prosecute right um frank Miami I'd like to know how you became such an effective speaker. I'm involved in training law enforcement.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I have to give presentations. Any tips? Okay, I was born with the gift of Blarney. A lot of Irishmen have it. Irish women, too. Born with it. And I discovered it in sixth grade, Mrs. Boyle's class. Then I got up and she said, all right, William, you explain the Kennedy Nixon.
Starting point is 00:34:58 debate. And I did to all the urchins. I watched it. It just came. So it's a gift. Now, if you're going to give a speech, you, number one, keep it pithy. Don't go longer than three minutes on any topic. And limit your suggestions, maybe five. People's concentration spans much less than they used to be. Got it, boom, boom, hit it, hit it. And then you can open it up for questions if they want more, like we're doing here.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Scott San Diego. Tell us what you change to secure America's future. Where are Bill O'Reilly's steps to save America? Well, they're in confronting America. What has to change? There's a whole bunch of them in there. But I'll give me one. So, public schools have to start teaching history, geography, and civics.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Have to. Federal government can't impose it. States can. And that is huge for Americans' future. Urges don't know very much. Luke, Hannes, Texas. when you were researching in writing confronting evil, was there something you learned that you didn't know?
Starting point is 00:36:32 Putin. I mean, I learn everything, every chapter I learned stuff. But Putin's upbringing, but I didn't know anything about that. That is huge to understanding what he does today. Doug, my gut says Republicans will keep the Senate but lose the House. If this happens, will this effectively end the remainder President and Secretary. He can still do executive orders, but, you know, with the filibuster at 60 votes in the Senate and a Democratic House, not going to get much through. We have a complicated democracy here.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Most people don't understand it, as I just mentioned. Daniel Rancho, Santa Fe, California. I'm 70 years old. I've been struggling with the following question. Is the country worse today than the past? Do we just know everything everywhere instantaneously? America hit a high watermark at the end of World War II. So the country was together, united, still blacks were discriminated against, and, you know, Native Americans, and still had that.
Starting point is 00:37:45 But the majority of Americans was the era of good feeling. And that lasted until the Vietnam War. And since then, it's been a slide into partisan politics, into hateful situations. Media has exacerbated that, social media in particular. So, you know, there's a chance we might come back to some form of civility, but I probably won't see it in my lifetime. Michael Morris found Tennessee. You're the last man standing in your generation of newsmen. I think a book that would easily be a million-seller would be your own career.
Starting point is 00:38:29 There's a lot of my own career in confronting America, a lot, because that's how I back up, what has to change, what I've seen. But that's a great suggestion, Michael, and I appreciate it very much. Mary Ann, Bloomington, Indiana. What does affordable mean in affordable housing? A 140-unit, lavish, four-story building popped up in my backyard. Building includes a garage, a gym, rent, $1,000 a month. Is that affordable? Yeah.

Given your expertise in writing about history and your engagement with current events, what reasons would you share with young people about hope for the future?
