Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, March 23rd, 2006, stand up for your country. ridiculous news day here. I mean, can't get a break, all right? Get up in the morning on this and that and this and that. Okay. I'm going to sort it out. We get a lot of stuff to tell you about. And I always recommend you watch and listening to the no spin news with a pen and paper. Therefore, you don't have to waste a lot of time on nitwits that are telling you stuff that isn't true, because we back everything we say up, which should be refreshing, and I think it is for everyone. Iran's the subject of the Talking Points memo once again. You can't get away from it because it affects every American and mostly every person around the world.

So today, President Trump ordered a postpone of draconian action. against the Iranian oil fields. He's going to blow them all up. And he's not going to do that for five days, he says, because they had a call yesterday, they being the United States, with Koff is the main negotiator, and somebody in Iran. We don't know who. Okay? Nobody knows who's in charge. The Mueller's kid who got elected, nobody's seen him. So somebody's talking, but we don't know. But Trump says it was very good call. They're making a lot of progress. So I'm going to back away for five days, see if we can get a deal, which is what Trump wanted from the very beginning, as I have reported. And how do I know that?

Because I was on the phone with the man for half an hour talking about the negotiation. This was before there was military action. Okay. So again, the conversation between Iran and Whitkoff, and they're, you know, by phone, and there are other people in the room with Whitkoff, of course, to place yesterday, Sunday, March 22nd. That happened. Iran says it didn't happen. Okay.

What do you expect them to say? They're not going to admit weakness. They're not going to say they came to the USA wanting a deal. ever. All right. Two weeks ago, here's what I predicted. Go. So the Iranians, obviously, are getting a hell kicked out of them, and this is a threat to them, and they wouldn't be in power if they didn't kill 30,000 of their own countrymen. Okay. And so they'll probably open talks, and then Trump will impose what he wants. Now, whether Iran, steps that are not, I think they will, because they don't really know how much of a choice now,

you know, talk the cliche is bombing them back to the Stone Age. That's what they're doing. But one thing changed, the difficulty in a strait of Hormuz, which is strangling some oil flow out to the rest of the world, most importantly, to China. China, the big part of this. Okay, but it gets no publicity. But China gets an enormous amount of oil from Iran. In fact, 80% of all the oil Iran sells goes to China. Just keep that in mind. Now, a deal is going to look something like this.

The mullahs are not going to be removed from power. All right. So regime change. It's already changed because the Israelis, killed all the first leadership. So we're on the second and third tier now. But they'll remain. Okay, that's number one.

Number two, Western weapons inspectors, nuclear people, probably from the UN, but there's got to be some EU people in there, will be admitted to make sure that the Iranians are not enriching uranium. Iranians are going to back away from that. They're going to say, all right, we won't do it now. which is what this whole thing's all about. All right? They have to, because Trump's not going to sign any deal.

It doesn't include that. Ballistic missiles, they only have like eight of them left, so Iran doesn't, that's not a big factor, but they'll say we're not going to make any more, we're going to destroy the ones we have, or whatever they'll say. And I'm not naive. Iran will cheat on all this, but you've got to get the agreement first.

Okay. And then in return, the Trump administration will lighten up some of the sanctions, economic sanctions against Iran. They'll be able to take their oil and sell it to China and that kind of a thing. That's probably the way it's going to shake down. Now, how long will that take? I can't see it going more than two more weeks because every day, another attack on Iran's infrastructure. And if they are disrespectful or if they lie about this pause, Trump will come back with more ferocity against them. And, you know, every day it's going to take Iran that much longer to rebuild whatever infrastructure they're going to have left.

Okay. So these are my predictions of what's going to happen. Now, the war is going to cost the American taxpayer about $200 billion. A lot of money. All right. And Europe's not going to help. No one even gives us a dime. All right.

Israel doesn't have any money. They're totally dependent on the USA. How is the Trump administration going to make that back? I don't know. But it will probably be through some. kind of oil deals. This is the only way I can see that we're going to get back anything out of this whole campaign against Iran. So that, you know, is significant. Now, the Department of War, Hague said, oh, we got a trillion dollar. Look, let's not do that. We are spending

ourselves into oblivion in this country, $39 trillion debt. You need to tighten this up. And then individually, I do expect oil prices to come down pretty significantly, pretty fast. Why? Because if they don't, the Trump administration Department of Energy is going to investigate the American oil companies. And they don't want that. They don't want to be investigated because they're gouge in us. So I expect that to come down. Is it enough to keep the USA out of a recession? I don't know. I don't know. Is it enough for the Republicans to keep the midterms? Hard to say. All right, that's the memo. Now, most Americans are getting their information from the media, which is always now dangerous. It didn't used to be, but now it is. Because the media is not going to tell you the truth.

I'm talking generally. They won't. New CBS poll, 3,335 U.S. adults. That doesn't mean these people know anything. They're not registered voters. They're not likely voters, just adults. That means they just sweep them in. We don't know anything, whatever. First question, what is your impression of the military conflict with Iran. Going well, 43%, somewhat or very badly, 57%. That is media-driven.

Second question, do you think Americans would be willing or not willing, pay more for gas during the U.S. military conflict with Iran, willing 33, not willing, 67? That's a frightening number. So if you'd rather have Iran in possession of a nuclear weapon, then pay a little bit more for your gasoline.

I don't know what to tell you. Okay. Now, the media itself is divided on this. Conservative media backs Trump. Okay? Liberal media, some of the not progressives understand the big picture. The New York Post has been delivering impactful headlines

for over two centuries. centuries, and every weekday morning, I'll bring them straight to you. I'm Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Postcast. From Washington to Wall Street, if it matters to you, you'll hear it here. And it wouldn't be the post without the stories other outlets like to ignore. So ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast. Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why are so many people going crazy all around you in America today? And politics is at the root of it. Hey, it's Buck Sexton with my My new book, Manufacturing Delusion, you'll understand just how the left is using mind control tactics of totalitarian regimes of the past in order to get people to believe crazy stuff today.

Get this New York Times bestseller while you can before it sells out once again, Buck Sexton's Manufacturing Delusion, available on Amazon or wherever you get your books. Okay. The progressives totally against it. They hate Trump people. Trump's worse than Amalas in their eyes. All right. Now here is the con. So the network news and the cables, MS and CNN, only book guests that hate Trump. With a few exceptions, they're trying to wise up a little. They've got to get maybe one or two. But they're outnumbered like 20 to one. And they know when they book a hate Trump guess, what the guess is going to

gonna say. Roll the tape. President Trump thought he could get a better deal than the Obama administration did. He failed to get that better deal. And he went off and launched a war without planning, without being ready for even some of the most basic things. This is the second time this century that the United States has made a drastically bad mistake in terms of engaging in conflict in the Middle East. The first one was in 2003 when we invaded Iraq. And that ushered in then years and years of chaos and violence and tourism. I just came from a two-hour closed-door, classified briefing on the war.

Just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not going to be able to achieve any of our stated objectives. OK, so all three of those men, they hate Trump. They never say anything good about them ever, or would they? In a million years, why bother having them on? Why bother? because the network news and two out of the three main cables

are invested in ruining Trump. That's why. All right, joining us now from Florida is our media go-to guy, Bernie Goldberg, who is the purveyor of bernardgoldberg.com, which has a sensational special, we'll tell you about at the end of the interview. So you go there and,

absorb Bernie's wisdom. Okay. Now, Bernie has so much wisdom that you have to absorb it kind of gradually. Or you'll be overwhelmed by the wisdom. All right, where am I going wrong here, Goldberg? And I want to make a comment about your rarely happening wisdom. That's a joke. You nailed it how they portray negative news. They bring people on who say, all these negative things, and then they say, well, it's not us. Right.

It's just the people are bringing up. Anyway, I wrote a column on the website that you mentioned, bernardgobert.com. This is what I said. If Democrats were ventriloquists, journalists would be the little dummy sitting on their laps. So if Democrats are against the war and they are, liberal journalists will also be against the war.

Now, you and I, Bill, come from a hard news background, so I know you'll agree with this. Journalists should not be cheerleaders for this or any other war. They should ask hard questions. They should be skeptical of what the government tells them. But they've crossed a very bright line with their partisanship. I won't give me just 30 seconds to read a very brief passage from an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, not by a MAGA Republican wearing a red hat, but by Mark Penn, who was an advisor to Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Stein, who was the former New York City Council President, obviously a Democrat. Very short passage. Journalists have a right and a duty to report bad news and to question polly Anna-ish reports from the U.S. government.

But many seem to be going beyond that. rooting and rooting for America to fail. Let that sink in. Very short ending. What seems to be driving the coverage is repritorial partisanship and the Democrats' determination to oppose this president no matter what he does. Bingo, that's what it's all about. Democrats want to oppose him no matter what he does, so their media allies do the same thing. think you got to give the New York Times credit for running that op-ed, but it's outnumbered. No, no, Wall Street Journal. Well, oh, it was a Wall Street Journal.

I read the op-ed. I just didn't remember the source of it. Okay, and all of that is true across the board. But here's a real frightening part, because I did use that word, introducing the CBS poll, that a lot of Americans made me most of us, don't pay attention. They don't know really what's happening. They just hear things. And when the media is overwhelmingly against a president,

they're going to just hear things that aren't true, that are slanted, whatever it may be, and then make their opinion based on the things they are hearing. I'm seeing more and more of that. How about you? No, I think you're right. You're on a role today, Bill. I think you're right about that, too. Let's use this as an example.

Liberal Democrats and their allies in the media are trashing Donald Trump. This is one of their big reasons for their opposition to the war, because there was no imminent threat, they say. But for argument's sake, and only for argument's sake, let's say they're right. There was no imminent threat. Would it be better if he had waited until there wasn't an imminent threat? imminent threat because if he waited until there was a women in threat, Iran may have had a nuclear device, nuclear bomb, and they could have hit London, Paris, Berlin, Tel Aviv, even New York or Washington

possibly. So you know what would happen then, Bill? The same media that is trashing Donald Trump for going to war when there was no imminent threat would be trashed. him because he waited too long before there was an imminent threat. So heads they win, tails he loses, the system is rigged. Now, interesting you brought that up because right after you, I'm going to run a clip of Lindsey Graham where I did an interview on our new long form, which did discuss in very micro detail of the imminent threat. Okay.

So you have a basically dishonest media here. I don't think there's any question. Fair-minded people understand that. Do you believe the actual people running these companies, making the calls, are dishonest? I think they're acting like business people and not news people. I think they know who their audience is, and they say we're going to give. But isn't that dishonesty, though, because they're supposed to be presenting objective news. That's right, Bill.

I'm going to break some bad news to you. There's no tooth fairy and there's no Santa Claus and there's no Easter Bunny either. Of course, they're dishonest. They're doing this for business. They don't call it the news business for nothing. It's a business, and they should be doing, they should be reporting the truth without partisanship. But they're trying to stay in, they're desperately trying to stay in business in this new media landscape by telling the audience precisely what they think the audience wants to hear. Do you believe?

That's corrupt, by the way. Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind. Do you believe that the corruption that began in 2016, when Trump came on the stage and started to succeed, has destroyed the television news industry in particular? Or it was inevitable with social media and all it was inevitable, they were going to decline. It might have been inevitable, but they're getting worse and worse and worse. I mean, if Joe Biden or Barack Obama had launched this war, do you think the coverage would be the same? Of course not. And the infantile questions, how long is the war going to?

Do you get as angry as I do? I'm sitting there. How long is it? How would anybody know that? No, it's, you're absolutely, I don't know what you've been drinking, but you're absolutely right about that too. Here's the thing. If this same journalistic bunch were covering D-Day on January 6th, 1944, when 2,500 Americans and 4,400 ally troops were killed in one day, they would be calling for the impeachment of Franklin Roosevelt, and they would try to get White Eisenhower thrown into prison. I mean, you can't count any American death in uniform,

any American in uniform who dies, it's a tragedy not just for their families, but for all of us. But they count every single one as if you see what's happening and the score is not going to go on. It's not going to end tomorrow. when is it going to end? These are questions without answers, and they know what they're doing,

and they're doing it to turn their audience, to appeal to their audience, who already doesn't like it, because of what their audience is hearing from other newspeople. It's a vicious circle. Yeah, but with one goal, get Trump. That's the beginning, the middle, And the end.

All right. Tell me about bernard gover.com March Madness Special. What do you got about? Well, I want to say two things. First of all, it's a half price sale off of already very low prices. But here's the thing, Bill. We're a small website and we're trying to stay relevant. And your audience, the people I'm talking to now,

and thank you for letting me do it. are important to our survival, to be perfectly honest about it. We need your audience. We like your audience. And we appreciate you for letting me say these things to your audience. Now, you have a half price going forward, and it's a pittance. And I'm saying not in a derogatory way, but if you want to add to your frame of reference, which really is what this is all about.

I mean, when you have a colossus corporate media that's being blatantly dishonest across the board, and you can't discount the right-wing networks either because they're feeding the same kind of, absolutely, quote-unquote information, but it's tailored to people who want to believe a certain thing. So the only hope is us.

That's what I was about to say. If somebody wants their views giving back to them 100% of the time, don't waste your time coming over to bernardgolberg.com, I can't do that. Bill and I have been hard news reporters for many years. That's our foundation.

That's our basis. We give opinions, but they're based on fairness. At least I hope they are In my case, they are, and in Bill's case, they are. And you'll agree with us a lot of times. You won't agree with us or you won't agree with me all of the time. That's the way I do it.

I try to give you my honest opinion, but it's only an opinion. But that's healthy. And that's what the founding fathers wanted, that kind of vibrant, robust debate with no personal animus or greedy money factor. in it. And let me say this to your audience. You know how Bill knows that? Thomas Jefferson told him that person. That's right. I was saying. Goldberg, look, you are older than me. And based upon this shot that's going all over the world now, people can see that with their own eyes. All right, Bernardgoberg.com. March Madness, check it out. Appreciate it, Bernie.

Thank you, Bill. I need your help. Tax refunds. So one of the campaign positives for President Trump is that he cut taxes and that working people will get money beginning in a few weeks in their refund checks. All right. Well, the Associated Press, here's how they framed this. Quote, spiking gas prices tied to Iran war are set to eat up tax-free funds touted by Trump. Nice, huh? Here's what PBS said. Trump touted bigger tax refunds, but higher gas prices are likely to eat them up. Notice eat up, eat up. PBS and Associated Press, exact same wording.

Philadelphia Inquirer, they hate Trump. Trump touted, remember touted? We got touted in PBS too. Trump touted bigger tax refunds this year. The Americans are likely to spend them on gas. So this is, see, they use the same words because this is what comes out of the Democratic propaganda machine in Washington on K Street. There are three or four firms paid for by the Democratic Party that spit this stuff out and the media picks it up word from Earth. They have a list of maybe a thousand liberal media people and it goes out, boom, boom.

Republicans do the same thing, but at a much lower rate, because they don't have anybody to send it to. Who are they going to send it to? Fox, Newsmax, New York Post. That's it. All right. ICE going to the airports. This is really horrible. I hate to see this.

So there's three-hour waits in Atlanta, on and on and on, because the Democratic Party will not fund. homeland security so that the TSA agents can be paid. So President Trump is ordering ICE agents to go and alleviate some of the problem. 13 airports they showed up to today. Chicago O'Hare and Houston and Atlanta and LaGuardia and New York, on and on and on. I don't know what they're going to do, but the federal government is trying. Now, all of this is about the Democratic Party demand. that Republicans basically neuter ice.

And I'll just give you one. So Democrats are saying, we're not going to give the TSA agents any money until you, Republicans sign a paper or a legislation that say no one can be taken into custody, no foreign national, unless a judge signs a warrant. That's impossible because Biden led in between 12 and 15 million foreign nationals. You could not possibly have judges sign all of those warrants. Couldn't happen. The Democrats know that.

So they're basically saying we don't want any enforcement on undocumented, even if they're criminals. We don't want it. We like the open border. We like the foreign nationals. doing whatever they want to do. Ah, where are my gloves? Come on, heat.

Learn more at aboutamazon.ca. Americans don't understand this. They don't see the linkage at all. all. That's why the TSA agents aren't getting paid and the lines are going into the parking line. There's a way the Republican Party and President Trump is going to do that. Because that would basically destroy ICE and immigration. That's what it would do. Okay. So the question becomes, will the Democrats fold, they'll have to, but the damage they're doing is, crazy. But here is a more important question. Will Americans remember this in November? Will they carry forth the memory of this when they go to vote in the midterms? This is all Schumer.

Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader. When they go in to vote, Chuck Spickson, going to come in their mind? Horrible. It's just horrible. And I can't explain it any more vividly than I just did. Major League Baseball opens this week, opening day, and they have Allied. The group called Polymarket. It's a betting group. Okay? So Major League Baseball is allowing Polly Market to use logos and events. and all this other stuff, it's an alliance. And I'm sure MLB gets paid.

Objecting to this alliance is Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who says, quote, pervasive gambling is not good for society, turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction and debt, surges domestic violence, fosters manipulation, unquote, posted on X. I agree with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. I don't believe professional sports should be allied with gambling interests. I think it's wrong. I think it hurts the sport and it hurts individuals.

So about, according to a whole bunch of studies on this, but anywhere from 5 to 10 million Americans are compulsive gambling. They can't stop. And they ruin their lives and they ruin their families' life. They can't stop. They have to bet. Have to, have to, have to. But according to a university study,

42% of college students bet on a routine basis. Not going to stop it. I understand that. Too much money. Too much money. It overwhelms. But, Costco-Cortez is right. Robert Mueller dies, former FBI,

Chief, Special Counsel, Russian collusion, President Trump said, quote, he's happy about Mueller's death because he won't get a chance to hurt anyone else. I write a message of the day on bill O'Reilly.com. I see it a little bit differently. Okay, I want you to go read the message while you're there, there's all kinds of other great stuff. but that's a pretty harsh assessment of Robert Mueller, but it's not out of context. Read the message, please.

Final thought about my special from about the collapse of San Francisco. Come out up in a final. I just said that in a moment. All right, here's the final thought of the day. San Francisco, woman named Mary Fong Lough, 80 years old. Okay, doing 75 and a 25 kills entire family. Entire family, okay? Four people.

Three month old baby, one year old. Gets no punishment in San Francisco to speak of. Probation, that kind of thing. San Francisco will not enforce the law. It will not. So on Thursday of this week, three days from now, News Nation, 9 p.m., I do with special, The Collapse of San Francisco.

Roll it. So this is the tenderloin district of San Francisco. One of the worst places in the United States of America. The reason it's so bad is because there's no law enforcement at all here. is violence, drugs everywhere. They call this stretch of the tenderloin cartel alley. Now, I'm reporting with a mixture of anger and sadness. It should not be happening in the United States, all right?

And it's happening because of one major reason. People don't care about these people. They don't care. All right? So every indignation you could possibly imagine happens right out here in full view. All right. So again, News Nation Thursday this coming, 9 p.m., the collapse of San Francisco. And that is it for us tonight. Thank you for watching and listening to the no-spin news. See you tomorrow.
