Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025. Stand up for your country. So I got all to tell you about. September is going to be a key month for the Trump administration. Lots of stuff in the air, both abroad and here, as you know. And the fall is going to move as fast as the summer, which has vanished before our eyes. Because the world is changing very, very quickly for two reasons.

President Trump is an activist president, and he is pushing forth a new economic view for all of us. That's a tariff situation and things like that. And then there is bellicosity, word of the day, bellicosity, overseas with Putin, who really is a dangerous character. So those things are fluid. And Chicago may be the first step for President Trump this season, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So will Donald Trump bring in the National Guard

and other federal authorities to Chicago to control the violence? I think he will. But it's going to cause a major amount of trouble. It's different from D.C. because the federal government runs the District of Columbia, where Chicago is part of the state of Illinois. Illinois has authority, Springfield, over Chicago. But that'll work itself out in the courts. The right thing to do is to stop the murder in Chicago.

Let me repeat. I'm the president. I do the right thing. you've got to stop the mass killing. The people who run Chicago do not care about stopping the mass killing at all. That's Prisker the governor and Johnson, the mayor. They are ideological people.

They live in a bubble of progressive ideology. They are not problem solvers. Okay. So, in the last five years, in Chicago, nearly 4,000 human beings have been murdered. 84% of them, black. 4,000. Okay.

Now, that alone, in America, that should never, ever happen. Over this Labor Day weekend, Ready for these stats? Okay. Sixty-one people in Chicago were shot. Sixty-one. Nine dead, 52 injured.

Any arrests for any of the 61 shootings? No. Not one arrest. Nobody got arrested. This is, when you say, well, where are the police? The system to protect Chicagoans, who are vulnerable has collapsed. There is no order in the poor neighborhoods of Chicago.

None. And if you are a killer, you will get away with murder. There's a million reasons why. Police department is undermined. The city council undermines punishment. It goes on and on and on and on. It's a lot. Same here in New York, where I am.

Same in L.A., San Francisco. It's all progressive stuff. But the fact remains that you have people being gunned down on a daily basis, and the politicians won't stop it. So who's going to stop it? So on July 23rd, 2020, five years ago, here's what I say. You stop it by moving in the National Guard. That's how you stop it. Now, you don't have to keep them there forever, but you reorganize your policing in those neighborhoods.

And once the guard is there, the people will feel protected and come forward. And maybe you get a coalition of religious people and civic people, and they put pressure. Everybody knows who these drug gangs are. It's like they don't know them. They know. Okay. That was five years ago. Nothing was done.

Because it was Biden. You know, Trump had a little window, but he chose not to do what I discussed. It was President Trump in his first time. term. He asked my opinion about it. I gave it to him. There it was. And Biden couldn't care less. He didn't even, you know, know anything. So, Trump deployed the National Guard in D.C., another chaotic mess on August 11th. Here's what happened. So far, about 1,500 arrests, okay? 156 illegal guns Streets. Year-to-day comparisons since the National Guard went in, 40% drop in violent crime. 40%. 82% drop in carjackings. 11% drop in property crime. Even the progressive mayor of

D.C. Muriel Bowser says, hey, this has worked. Washingtonians are more protected and feel safer. And it's the truth. Now, you won't hear the truth from the Washington. host or from, and most of the television networks, no. They're not going to say that. They're going to say, Trump's a fascist, he's a dictator, you know, you're in the same old garbage. Okay. So what has to happen now is a message.

And I think President Trump's going to send a message that if you are an elected official anywhere in this country and you put your own people in danger, You put your own people in danger. The federal government's going to step in and protect those people. Roll the tape. Either you support the Constitution or you do not. And this president has literally trampled on the sensibility of what our democracy is all about. And so, you know, the city of Chicago, I can tell you this emphatically, we are not going to accept or nor are we

calling for the occupation of our city by federal troops. There are people who live in our communities. There are neighbors. There are friends. And we now have a president and a federal government that's going after them, hunting people down, and disappearing them off the streets. Men with masks are grabbing people off the streets and taking them away. And that's just shameful.

Okay. So those are the two that are responsible for the chaos. Pritzker is talking about, of course, ICE agents because they will accompany the National Guard in there because some of the violent criminals in Chicago, as with every other city, are illegal migrants. But you have two men who are simply saying, we're just not going to do it. Okay, if Mayor Johnson interferes in any way with Donald Trump, and the federal government's intrusion,

because it is, into Chicago, have him arrested. Arrest him. Now, maybe Johnson wants to get arrested. Maybe it wants to be a martyr. Okay? But, again, this is about sending a message.

Pritzker, he's too shrewd to do that. Okay? He's going to try to parlay this like Newsom, same thing, into a presidential run. That's what he's trying to do. All right, so summing up, This situation in Chicago should have been dealt with five years ago when I said what I said about National Guard.

It was ignored by Biden administration. And now there are what another 2,300 dead or what? I mean, it's just, it's staggering. And you know, the poor people in Chicago, they're never going to rise up. They're never going to support Trump because they are brainwashed. They live in a bubble. They can't step back and see the destruction that these progressives are heaping upon their own neighborhoods

and their own families, and that's the memo. All right, a judge in L.A. is ruled that Trump's sending the National Guard to protect Angelinos was unconstitutional. This is no surprise. This lawsuit was filed by Gavin Newsom, Governor California. The judge is Charles Breyer, 83 years old, to my Bill Clinton. Everybody knew that this guy was going to say that. He stayed the ruling until an appeals court can look at it, of course. This doesn't mean anything. Supreme Court's

going to have to deal with it sooner or later. But if you really objectively look at the LA situation, National Guard protected people there from rioters who were violent and paid. The rioters were paid by progressive groups. Not all of them, but a lot of them, and they organize this work. All right, New York City may go even further left than California or Chicago. And that's because there's a guy who may get elected mayor named Zoran Mam Dani, 33 years old, born in Africa. Okay. And he's really never had a high power job or anything. And he's really never had a high power job or anything. And he's a communist. So he calls himself a democratic socialist, but he isn't.

And all you do is trace back what he's said, and you know he's a communist. Remember, the definition of communism is that the government, whether it's a local, state or federal, seizes private property. He seizes the marketplace and runs the economy. And that's what Mam Dani wants to do. M. Dyni also doesn't believe in incarceration. He has called the New York City Police Department racist. He is the most radical mayoral candidate by far in New York City history. And the communist thing is obvious.

He wants to tell landlords, now this is private property. You buy a building your landlord, you own it. What's to tell them exactly what they can and can do? do with their private property. And if they violate what Mandami wants, they go to jail. That's communism. He wants to set up

at taxpayer expense grocery stores to give free food to I don't know who he's going to give it to. Okay? So he takes the distribution of food and he puts it under city control. That's communism. He wants to

give people of color more rights than white people. I mean, it's just, which is blatantly unconstitutional. But in New York City, the registration Democrat to Republican is five to one. There are five times many Democrats that vote in New York City as Republican. That's why I have this madness. Now, there's a new poll by American research and polling. Scott Mandami at 37%. Curtis Leewe, the Republican 17. Andrew Cuomo, former governor at 25, current mayor Eric Adams at 11. Now, I, everybody asks me and Domami going to win. I think it's still a jump ball here because I don't think Adams is going to be able to go from now until election day. It's running out of money. Could be wrong. If Adams drops, then those

votes have to go somewhere. Hey Bill O'Reilly here. In my career, I have interviewed seven presidents, covered every major story of the last few decades. But I've never seen an opportunity like this one. President Trump's second term could mirror the economic boom in the 1920s, a time when unemployment hit 1.8%. Stock soared 265%.

Inordinary Americans had their shot at real prosperity. That's why I've recorded a special presentation. with renowned investment expert Alexander Green called the rebirth of the American Dream. Alex will reveal how President Trump plans to slash regulations, cut taxes, bring manufacturing back to America, and unlock the AI-driven tech boom. Plus, you will get details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency. Please visit Trump's American Dream.com to watch our press. presentation now. So joining us now from New York City. Is the Republican contender for mayor

Curtis Leeway? You know, I might not have to introduce him. Spend his whole life in the city fighting crime and doing good things on balance, I would say. I know Curtis for a long time. So I took care of Mandami. You don't have to worry that bottle with him. But I want to, I got five issues here. I want to know exactly what you would do if you do get elected mayor. The first one is no bail. So Albany, the capital estate, is basically passed a law that says judges have very little discretion in assigning bail to violent criminals. And there's a whole list of this one you can't have any bail. How does a mayor overcome that? Well, number one, that's all due to Andrew Cuomo, 2019. No cash bail, and he's doubled down

on that in wanting to somehow resurrect his political career and become mayor. That will haunt us. What you have to be able to do is pinpoint the judges who are not utilizing any judicial control and hiding behind the no cash bail, and you've got to name them and shame them. That's not happening whatsoever. And then, more importantly, you have to harken back to what was the one-two punch. When Rudy Giuliani beat David Dinkins, the crime rate was far more horrific, 2,100 murders a year, 10,000 unsolved shootings. He barely beat Dinkins the second time that he challenged him. And then quickly thereafter, a man that nobody knew, unseated, a man who many thought was an iconic figure in the Democratic Party, Mario Como, the father of Andrew

Comel now. With that one-two punch, you can make all the difference in the world. So if I get elected and I intend on getting elected, I paved the way for Elise Stefaniq to beat Kathy Hockel, because if Elise can get 33, 34% of the vote in the city, in the next election, then you'll have a Republican mayor and a Republican governor who can go to work on both the city council that is predominantly progressive and the state legislature that is predominantly progressive. All right. It's a big F, but it makes sense. Most of the crime in New York City on the street. It's also one other thing, Bill, real quickly. The mayor does get to appoint some of the judges, obviously.

Yeah, obviously, we know the judges are the problem, but just exposing them, these people have no shame and, you know, that. They don't care. Mosody's street crime in New York City is committed by drug addicts who need money to buy their, whatever they're using and killing themselves with. They're allowed to run wild, set up tents, live on a street, inject narcotics in front of children, and degrade public safety. It's horrendous.

Same thing's happening in most progressive cities. What would you do with these drug addicts? A quality of life that everybody is exposed to. It doesn't matter. The subways brings everybody together. So if you don't see it in your neighborhood, you'll eventually going to see it on the subway. They must be removed for their moon.

Remove where, though? Where are you going to remove them? Well, number one, there are state hospitals that have plenty of empty space. Unfortunately, when Andrew Cuomo fled to Albany because he was going to be impeached, he had downsized the number of state beds available for people with mental health disorders and drug addiction disorders. Do you force them, though?

Okay. There are enough facilities in New York State, it's a big state, to put these people in, but most of them don't want rehab. They don't want to go there. How do you get them there? Right. Well, you don't have harm reduction clinics. that provide the attic not only with the needles,

but with a nurse to properly inject them, which then destroys the fabric of the quality of life in that neighborhood, because everybody who's a drug user comes in there. I mean, if you're going to go to that step, you might as well give them the drugs for free, because all it does is bring the drug dealers into a location as if they were vendors at Yankee Stadium. No, all that is right.

But again, the question remains, You know what the problem is, I know what the problem is. But if you try to forcibly remove drug-addicted people from the city, you're going to run into the ACLU, you're going to run to Albany Legislature, how do you get around that? You have a thousand lawyers on Corporation Council that we pay, and all they do is settle lawsuits. You're going to go into court, you're going to battle the civil libertarian group,

you're going to battle legal aid, you're going to battle everybody who practices the art of ISU. You're going to win some. You're going to lose some. But you see, the taxpayers are going to know that you got their back. And if somebody is out there and they're involved in drug trafficking and drug use, you've got to lock them up because time and time again, men and women who have had serious drug issues have said they've been able to dry out in prison.

And then you've got to make sure that they have proper rehab. Okay, but you can't put them in prison because that doesn't fall under the bail thing. I mean, if you could isolate them for a few days, that would improve the problem because then they can't get their drugs. All right, the third one is there are thousands of migrants who come into the country illegally, get on a bus, and come to New York City. How is Mayor Slee, we're going to stop that? Well, number one, we have a number of migrants who are an integral part of the business of New York City. You start doing ice raids in the backrooms of every restaurant in New York City, they're out of business. You start doing ice raids in the hotel

and the accommodation industry. They're out of business. You got to give them a vehicle. And President Trump has talked about that from time to time. They need a special vehicle to be able to stay and do the work that my three sons will not do. And this generation of millennials and Gen Zs are not going to do. It's very easy for us. You would make it easier. But again, that's a federal duty, not a city or state duty. And I'm not sure Donald Trump, he may do it, but it would take a while. So when they flood in here and look at Queens, they've taken over blocks, set up brothels, set up drug dens, set up this and that, and the city of New York doesn't cooperate with ICE. Now, I know you would. You'd write an executive order that says, you know, all the

NYPD, I've got to alert ICE. That would be a big step, but then the city council is going to undermine you on that. Well, also, you invite in FBI director Patel, because a lot of it is done by the narco-terrorists who are also engaged in sex trafficking. You close those locations down. You go after the absentee landlords. They're allowing their buildings to be utilized for this trafficking, the pimps and the madams, and the people who will benefit. And to the ladies who have been procured for this business. You see if you can get them back on track. But there is a way to stop this activity that is being fueled by these narco terrorists and these cartels. Now, the president has announced he wants to go to war against the cartels. This is one clear way of doing it.

And I would be fully cooperative with the president and his agencies in vetting them out of New York City where they are having direct impact on crime. That's what got your rival Eric Adams a pass from being prosecuted. He promised to do that. But I don't know if he's done it or not. The city is filthy.

But to be honest, you have to deal with Tom Holman and ICE. No, I know that, and I know you would. The city is filthy. You know the city as well as any human being on Earth. I'm second. The city's filthy.

How are you going to figure it up? You set it up by working with the existing agencies. You free up the police, especially with coming. The police aren't going to sweep up the... What's wrong with the Department of Sanitation in New York City? Why are the streets... Why are garbage cans overflowing? Why are rats running all over the place?

Why is this happening? Why it's happened? Because we've allowed the unions too much control over the workday of their men and women. So perfect example, sanitation department, once they're finished their route of picking up the trash, they go back to what they call the barn and they wait around until their eight hours is finished. Used to be when I was a kid and you were a kid, Bill, the sanitation apartment had brooms on the front of the truck. They would have to clear off all the sewers in the catch basins and they would have to do proper maintenance. Now that they no longer do it, we have these business improvement districts which exhibit an addition.

tax on the local merchants driving them out of existence because now they're paying the normal tax, corporate tax rate, they're paying property tax, and now they have to pay a special business. But how do you convince the unions to do a better job? They obviously don't want their people working as hard as their people could work. So you have to bring this to the attention of the people. They're paying for the service. They're entitled to the service. People know it. All right. Last question. Well, if you knew it. Last question. But the mayor has never actually brought it to their attention of how much is being paid and how little service is being done. Look, the previous sanitation commissioner, Jessica Tisch, took half the cans

away from the corners where you would put the trash. They've taken the cans out of the subways with the idea that somehow you're going to carry the trash up to the street. These are not common sense solutions. No, they're not. Last question. One of the primary reason, Mamdani is really in the polls is the cost of living in New York. The most expensive cities in the world, younger people, and that comprises most of his voters, they say, I can't make it in New York. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, but I can't make it here. Everything is too expensive. Can a mayor drive down costs? Oh, absolutely. A number one, you have to move to start slashing the taxes, the personal income tax, the corporate tax. The corporate

tax and then the property tax and then there's a trickle-down effect and then you have all the hidden taxes you have speed cameras everywhere which is just meant to pick your pocket fees and fines that drive you almost to the verge of bankruptcy each month and then you have to reach out to the millennials and gen zers and said we made you a promise if you got a four-year education two years at graduate school you were a CPA a financial analyst or a lawyer making 150,000 dollars to start they say, well, why am I still living in an apartment with three or four other roommates? It's like I'm back in college in a dormitory. And you have to say there are 100,000 apartments at a warehouse out there, Bill,

leading with 6,000 in NYCHA projects alone. We've got to free up those locations to put them out in the marketplace, meet with the landlords, and find out specifically what their needs are. And generally, it comes to tenant landlord court. The landlords have no rights in tenant landlord court. You have men and women who have been squatting in their apartment since the lockdown and pandemic, six, seven years, and nothing happens. I don't know if the landlords, though, are going to help you out on that one.

But anyway, Curtis, if you get elected, you're going to be busy. I think you know that. The city is really, really on the cliff. And thanks for appearing today, good luck. We'll check in with you before the election. Here's a good story to show you how New York City justice system has collapsed. doesn't exist anymore. So Donald Trump gets charged in New York City

for business fraud. Okay, you remember the case. And then they assign a judge, Arthur Engoran, who is a progressive nut. Look at him. Look at him. Okay? And he conducts a trial.

It's exceedingly unfair. And the result of the trial is that Trump organization owes $515 million. to the city of New York. Here's what I said after that came down. The real estate fraud thing, which is supposed to be decided by Judge Arthur Engoran is just a judge issuing this verdict.

A 370 million civil fraud case. Totally political, 100%. So everything will be appealed and push back, push back, push. And now it is thrown out. So an appeals court said this is insane, five-judge panel, and isn't, you know, but the fact that it happened. But Trump's not going to have to pay that, as I predicted.

Rudy Giuliani, falling on hard times, okay? The mayor was a close advisor to Donald Trump. He took the election fraud allegations of 2020 and ran with them, got in all kinds of trouble, got bankrupted, and now he's around, but he is not really involved in politics any longer. So he's up in New Hampshire, that's where his girlfriend lives. And he's on a road, and a woman flags down a car he's riding in, and Giuliani car stops, Giuliani gets out, helps the woman who was fleeing allegedly. this is all coming from a third party. Fleeing some guy who was trying to hurt her. Giuliani, after he calls 911,

or if the cops come to take the woman up, he gets back in a car, he drives, he gets smashed from behind by a 19-year-old named Lauren Kemp. He smashes Giuliani's car. He's driving a passenger seat. A cop said that she was exceeding the speed limit by a high rate. He's in a hospital. Okay, and he's got, his injuries are extensive.

So Donald Trump announces he's going to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I thought was pretty nice. Okay, at least bolster the mayor's spirits. And I don't know where that's going to be, but I thought that was a nice gesture on a part of the president. Overseas, Modi, President of India, Putin, dictator of Russia, she, dictator of China. They all meet together. This is in China And I'm not going to bore you with the details of why they were there

But basically this was the big middle finger to Donald Trump And that's what it was You said, look, you're going to mess with us We're going to India, China, and Russia We're going to do what we want to do Now you expect that from China And Russia, of course But India's got blood on its hands

So I don't know about this Modi character I don't know him But you buy Russian oil and Russians are slaughtering civilians in Ukraine, that's on you, Modi. That's wrong. And Trump is right to slap sanctions on you for doing it. Now, he has not slapped sanctions on China. That is true.

But there's a reason. And the reason is a big trade deal in the wind. But watch these three guys. They would love to band together and knock Trump down. interesting story right okay we'll be back with a final thought which will amuse you i promise in a moment all right final thought of the day has mentioned one week confronting evil hits the marketplace hope it's a big book we're looking for 20 number one bestsellers who got 19 now hope you pre-order it hope you go to bill o'reilly dot com and if you do we'll give you a free fun
