Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, July 14th, 2025. Stand up for your country. Well, it is never dull with the Trump administration. All right, summer, usually languid, word of the day, languid, okay? Not with this crew. Now we're dealing with Putin and Russia and Ukraine, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Extremely, extremely important story. Much more important than most people in the world understand. All right, and we'll get to that. So when President Trump was campaigning to become president, the second time. He often attacked the Biden administration for not being able to deal with Putin. Okay? Trump's line was if I had been re-elected in 2020, there would have been no Ukraine war. That's what President Trump said clearly. Here's what he put forth on October 14th, 2024 go.
Starting point is 00:01:21 There's so much bad happened to this administration. It's disgraceful. You know, As an example, there'd be no war with Russia and Ukraine. There's no way I get along very well with Putin. And then when he was elected for the second time, Donald Trump, and I know this to be true, okay, was very optimistic that Vladimir Putin would cooperate in a ceasefire. Very optimistic. But that did not turn out to be true. So now, today, we are in his second phase.
Starting point is 00:01:57 First, the casualties. This is unbelievable. So Putin invaded the much smaller nation of Ukraine in February 2022. Since that time, a quarter of a million Russian troops have been killed. Up to 100,000 Ukrainians have died. 700,000 Russian troops have been wounded. 300,000 Ukrainian troops wounded. More than 6.5 million refugees have fled Ukraine and they have gone all over the world. This is from the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. So these are very well documented statistics. Okay. So it is a situation. It's totally out of control and is more death every day. Okay. So you would think that there would be some kind of moving. from Vladimir Putin to stop the carnage.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Trump offered him a pretty good deal. What you have now you can keep, which is about 10% of Ukraine, and then we'll lift the trade sanctions, but Putin said, blank you. All right. Now, today, Trump is angry with Putin. Roll the tape.
Starting point is 00:03:16 So in a nutshell, we're going to make top-of-the-line weapons and they'll be sent to NATO. NATO may choose to have certain of them have certain of them sent to other countries where we can get a little additional speed where the country will release something and it'll be mostly in the form of a replacement. And I'm disappointed in President Putin because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn't seem to get there.
Starting point is 00:03:41 So based on that, we're going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don't have a deal on 50 days, it's very simple. And they'll be at 100%. And that's the way it is. That can be more simple. It's just the way it is. I hope we don't have to do it. All right, so we're going to sell weapons to NATO,
Starting point is 00:03:59 and they'll give them to whoever they want, which will be the Ukrainians. All right, maybe the polls will get some too, because Poland borders Russia. Now, the sanctions, the only way to break Putin is to say to the international banks, you can't do business with Moscow.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Now, China and North Korea are going to do business with Moscow no matter what, okay? But if the rest of the world, if the banking system doesn't, then Putin is done. That's the sanction that matters. I would have done that sanction six months ago when it was clear that Putin was not going to stop killing people. But just keep that in mind. Sanctions are only effective up to a point. You have to understand if Vladimir Putin does not care about his own people, if they starve to death, he doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I mean, obviously, when you've got a quarter of a million dead and 700,000 wounded, it's approaching a million casualties for what? For what? You think Putin cares about human life? He does not. He is a psychopath. He enjoys inflicting pain on human beings. And I know that because we researched this man, Putin, as well as anybody could.
Starting point is 00:05:15 And he leads my upcoming book on September 9th confronting evil. on the cover of it, as you probably know. This is not a normal human being, Putin. It's a lot like the mullahs, okay, very similar in effect. The mullers never would have stopped funding terrorism, and they probably haven't to this day, but we don't know about it, ever until we bombed them and they were looking at the edge of extinction.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Then the mullahs pulled back. But they were never going to stop killing people because they like to kill people. This is Iran. Putin's the same way. It's the same thing. But we can't bomb Putin because he has nuclear weapons. And you
Starting point is 00:05:58 just can't get into that kind of a confrontation on this planet. Putin knows that. And he flashes the nuclear thing all the time. All right, so summing up, NATO is going to purchase a number of very sophisticated U.S. weapons, including
Starting point is 00:06:14 Patriot missiles. Trump went out of his way to say, NATO's going to pay us for them to mollify the far-right isolationist movement. That's what that was about. And then Trump says, if we don't notice he's firing 50 days, 50% tariff. But unless he does the banking stuff, it's really not going to matter very much. And that's the memo. Bill O'Reilly here, I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida. And I can tell you, he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club for a special
Starting point is 00:06:54 presentation called The Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom, how the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history, details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, importantly how you can achieve the American dream. Now I followed Alex's work for more than 20 years and he spotted some of the best performing stocks off our time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit trumpsamerican dream.com. Trump's American dream.com. So I asked my staff to find a really good guest on this. That's not going to give you the predictable stuff,
Starting point is 00:07:44 all right, because I hate that. And I believe you're bored by it. So you can happen to the guy named Mihail Trouitzky. He teaches at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University outside of Boston, which is a very, very good school. Now, Dr. Trouitzky got his Ph.D. in Russia. He's a Russian national in this country legally, of course. And he taught at the Russian Academy of Science, among other schools, in Moscow. First of all, Dr. We appreciate your time. Am I making any mistakes with Putin and my analysis today? Well, actually, I think, Bill, you are quite accurate.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And I was even surprised to hear this great analysis regarding banking sanctions. That's exactly what would matter. And I think that's exactly what the Russian government is mostly going. concerned with, not so much the secondary sanctions as they are called secondary tariffs on whatever India or China sends to the United States. That is going to be difficult to impose. But targeting Russia's remaining participation in the global financial system is, of course, going to be much more conducive to... Yeah, and I hope Trump does that.
Starting point is 00:09:18 He has not done it so far. As I said, I would have done it much earlier. And there's not Monday morning quarterback. We don't fool around here, doctor. I mean, we know what's going on all over the place. I don't know whether you know, but I've spent some time in Beijing and May. I mean, I know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:09:33 And the oligarchs who prop Putin up, and that includes the generals of the military, as you know. Okay, they're dependent on foreign money. They have all their money in foreign banks. That money's not a Moscow. You slap sanctions and freezes on all of the oligarchs money, all of the general's money.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And Putin is done. Am I wrong? Power, politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful, disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, I think, well, generals might not have plenty of money stashed abroad, But you are right that this feeling of situation still being reversible for the oligarch and a large segment, millions of people in Russia who have assets both inside their country and in the West. So they feel it's still reversible and they see the deal that the Trump administration puts on the table. And if, you know, the situation kind of shifts towards irreversible with these new secondary sanctions and... I don't know if it's irreversible because Putin at some point is going to make a calculation just like the mullahs made in Iran that, look, I better stop or I better do something. But let me ask you this question. There's no really reliable reporting coming out of Russia because they don't allow free press there, as you know.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And if you go against Putin, you might wind up dead. Okay, literally dead, as we saw last week with another, I think it was like 45 former members of Putin's government are dead by suicide. They've fallen out windows. You know what the game is. But the Russian people themselves, all right, today, you know, we get reports that are they still back Putin? Can not be possible? Well, the Russian people have largely been brainwashed, and this heavy-handed propaganda has been going on for more than a decade now, and it became especially violent in the run-up to the war. And then, you are right, that there's no accurate sociological data you can get out of Russia these days.
Starting point is 00:12:59 But as we have seen over the past three and a half years of the war, counting on the Russian society to stand up against the war, maybe not even against Putin, but just to become mildly critical about the war and do it openly, that hasn't materialized. But I wonder why. I remember the Vietnam War days. I was around, and you had all of these Americans, 55,000 of them coming down. dead, all right, and a lot of them coming home wounded, and the American public saw that in their towns. And they go, what are we doing over there, all right? You're losing sons and your friends and husbands and brothers, and do they don't care
Starting point is 00:13:49 about that? Well, the short answer would be that the Russians are being paid to remain quiescent and they are being promised a way of life that would largely leave them immune to the war, a major war that is important. Give me an example. Give me an example of what they're being promised. Because Russians don't live very well. I mean, come on, and they're not America over there.
Starting point is 00:14:16 They don't have any money. And they're not living large. What are they being promised? No, but over the Putin years, the standards of living in Russia, and in particular in large cities like Moscow have risen dramatically. And that's because of oil? Is that the oil sales? Yeah, well, largely oil money, but making economy more efficient, boring some Western
Starting point is 00:14:40 technology, you know, getting some investment from the West, including the United States, you know, the stock market. And, you know, there's ways to raise money for Russian corporations, or at least they're used to be such ways. And they are no longer in existence after 2022. All right. That makes sense. Final question. Do you think President Trump's doing anything wrong here? I mean, obviously he made a mistake because he did believe he could reason with Putin, and that has not come out to be true. Is the president making any other mistakes in this conflict?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Well, I think from the perspective of ending the war, he's making a very reasonable evolution. And what I also liked about him is that he seems not to be. be deterred or impressed by any, you know, nuclear brinkmanship and nuclear blackmail by some Russian figures. So he immediately calls them out on that brinkmanship. And that was something that I think the previous administration was cautious not to, you know, push the envelope too far because of that. So the Kremlin knows there's, there's limits as to how, you know, heavily that they can try to blackmail Trump. Otherwise, you know, he's making progress in his, you know, thinking about Russia and that he invokes his, you know, conversations with Melania, who apparently
Starting point is 00:16:10 tells him, look, you know, what Putin is doing after you've just talked with him, that makes the whole thing very personal to him. So I would expect more of that evolution in the coming week. Yeah, and I'm, Mr. Trump could lean on China a little bit. And I, hope that happens. Hey, Professor, we really appreciate it. Thanks very much for helping us out tonight. Okay, one year ago, President Trump was almost killed. You all remember that? The Butler shooting. And there is a Senate report that was released over the weekend. I didn't even know about this. And it's pretty troubling, all right? So it says that members of Donald Trump social, his secret service protective unit, okay, because all presidential candidates get
Starting point is 00:16:59 secret service protection. So he has a protective unit of secret service men and women going with him in the campaign. Apparently, they asked the secret service head, Kimberly Cheatel in D.C., who was a Biden appointee, to give them more resources, more people. and other resources, and Cheatel said no. All right, here is the key part of the report released over the weekend. Quote, United States Secret Service headquarters denied or left unfulfilled at least 10 requests by the Donald Trump Division for additional resources during the 2024 campaign, including enhanced counter-unmaned aerial system assets, counter-assault team personnel,
Starting point is 00:17:46 counter-sniper personnel, documents reveal a pattern of certain categories, is a request either being blatantly denied, unfulfilled, or required to be supplemented by local law enforcement or other federal agencies, unquote. So this, of course, opens the question that the Biden administration, not that they wanted Trump to be killed, I think that would be a ridiculous assertion, but they weren't all that concerned about his safety.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Isn't that fair? Cheathel, of course, was embarrassed in her testimony, you'll remember in front of Congress, where she knew no anything, she came off as a fifth grader. How could this person be running the secret service? My God, and she was forced to resign. All right, politics. So, do you ever hear this? I feel like I'm holding a class here on government. Do you ever hear of a recessions bill? It's not recession, it's recitions. A recitions bill is when Congress, pulls back from spending that it has already approved.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Okay? And there is a deadline for this fiscal year on Friday, this coming Friday, all right? And Trump is saying, we wanted to fund public broadcasting. Here's what Trump says, quote, is very important to all Republicans that they adhere to my recessions bill, and in particular, defund the corporation public broadcasting, PBS, NPR, which is worse than CNN and MSDNC, put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity continue broadcasting will not have my support or endorsement.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Thank you for your attention. Okay. So it's basically telling Republicans, you better vote to defund PBS and NPR, or we're going to primary you. That's pretty effective. Now, there are others involved with this, global health programs, migration and refugee assistance, democracy fund, clean technology fund, you know, it's a whole bunch of left-wing stuff that's getting taxpayer money that Trump wants to knock out. But the big ones are NPR and PBS because they're left-wing organizations, which they are. Anyone who says they are and is lying to you.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And we can prove it a thousand different ways. And we have. all right so that i expect the senate and the house to pass and it's sionara pbs npr for government money which under biden was 200 billion in the four years more 200 billion going into pbs npr to prop up biden now i despise npr and pbss because what they did to me personally from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't.
Starting point is 00:21:02 So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you. you get your podcast. I know who they are. I know them all. They're the worst. The lowest. They feed off the public trough
Starting point is 00:21:27 to enhance their ideology. Compete like the rest of us. You can't. You can't compete. Because, A, you're boring and B, you're dishonest. This should not
Starting point is 00:21:45 even be close. Democrats, of course, want it because they prop up the Democratic Party. Epstein Update. All right. So I wrote a message of the day that MAGA is divided. I hope you read it every morning on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's free. You don't have to be a member. You just go there, and there's the message of the day. So the really vehement pro-Trump forces are divided on Epstein. One side says, we don't want powerful people. protected by the federal government. That, and that's the side I take. The other side says, this doesn't matter,
Starting point is 00:22:24 and it really doesn't, compared to Putin and Russia, China, and tariffs and economy, absolutely doesn't. But there's a symbolic thing here about justice. But anyway, the other side says, look, he's dead, good, leave Trump alone. So there's a division in the MAGA forces,
Starting point is 00:22:43 and of course being exploited by the, liberal media, like look at these people, they always do that. Now Trump for some reason doesn't want his Justice Department to go out and hold a press conference. Now I did some investigating myself over the weekend and I can tell you with certainty. It's not Pam Bonding making any of these decisions. It's not the Attorney General in the United States. It's a man named Todd Blanche, who is the assistant attorney general. He was trump's private lawyer in the new york city criminal cases and he was a former a prosecutor in new york southern district todd blanche used to be a democrat he changed over to the republican
Starting point is 00:23:26 side he's the guy that's calling the shots on epstein do you know that nobody knows that but i don't know why i spent a lot of time this weekend right why just go out there in an general way, tell the folks what the Justice Department has learned. That's all. And embarrass Biden and Merrick Garland by calling Garland in to sit next to Pam Bondi. And if Blanche wants to be there, good. But I still don't have why they're resisting because, as you know, when I talk with President Trump on St. Patrick's Day, this came up along with the Kennedy and King Files. he didn't have any problem back then you got to protect the people who had lunch with Epstein you want to destroy their lives if they're not involved with this activity and that's
Starting point is 00:24:23 absolutely a valid point the Blaze and Glenn Beck put out a really good encapsulation today about my interview with Beck on Friday so you get a chance punch that up and I was happy to be able to spend a little time, you know, weaving this whole thing. I'll find out what this is all about, but it's not easy because Trump doesn't want this. He wants it to go away, but I don't think it's going to go away. It's not big enough to crush him, but I think they should try to resolve this, they being the Justice Department and the Oval Office. All right, new poll on the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:25:11 by Unite the Country. Unite the Country is a political action committee that helps Democrats. So the Hill, which is a pretty good outfit, all right, they get a hole in his poll. It's not out yet. And the summary of the poll is that voters perceive the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Remember, this is a Democratic poll as out of touch, woke and weak. Okay? The Democratic Party's credibility has declined further since the November election. Wow. It's gone down even more. And leading that decline are white men,
Starting point is 00:25:51 Hispanic men, and working class people. They have abandoned the Democrats. Women, I guess, are still hanging on. But I thought you'd be interested in that poll. Now, the presidential campaign of 2008 is already underway.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Did you know that? So Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, this guy is so perfect for me and for other reporters. It's just beyond belief. He's already campaigning. So he goes to South Carolina,
Starting point is 00:26:28 something he would never do. Newsom would be drinking wine up in Napa Valley. South Carolina, in July, no way. He goes there on Senator Lindsey Graham's birthday to pound Graham and to pound the big bill. Roll it. That bill they just signed?
Starting point is 00:26:49 That consigns are to the greatest transfer of wealth in U.S. history from one generation to the next. Completely saddling kids and grandkids, trillions and trillions of dollars of debt. In order to finance the debt to provide tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, they didn't even ask for them in many cases. Certainly no need them. So this is really rich, pardon upon. So Newsom is going, oh, the big bill is running up our debt. Okay. Newsom took over as the governor of California on January 7, 2019.
Starting point is 00:27:26 At that point in time, California had a $21 billion surplus in Sacramento. They had $21 billion in the bank. bank. How? Because they were the highest taxed state in the union. You know, New York is almost high. Now, today, California has $12 billion budget deficit. That in five and a half years, at Newsom's been governing, is a $33 billion spending deficit. 33 billion for one state. have enough cops in LA, they still can't fight fires, San Francisco is still ridiculous, they can't control riots, and this guy wants to be president? My God, it's just, you would think that, and the chutzpah of him going out and said, oh, look at this big bill
Starting point is 00:28:33 you're going to increase the deficit. You, 33 billion in five and a half years. A seven-year-old could have managed the money better than him. You won't get that analysis anywhere else. Believe me. All right. The New York Times calls up President Biden. Why?
Starting point is 00:29:01 No idea. Biden gives the New York Times 10 minutes. Okay. The reason that the Times called Biden was because it's trying to figure out what the auto pen thing is. I've already figured it out, but apparently the Times way behind me. So Joe Biden, in his four years of president, signed more than 4,200 individual pardons, the most in the history of the United States, by far. Nobody came close to that.
Starting point is 00:29:37 4,200 pardons. I guess most of those were in his family, but that's a cheap comment. Okay, 4200. So, here's what Biden tells the Times, quote, the auto pen is, you know, is legal. As you know, other presidents used it, including Trump.
Starting point is 00:30:00 The point is that, you know, we're talking about a whole lot of people. So is one, two, three, four you knows in two sentences. And he basically says, look, I knew every one of the pardons, all 4,200. I knew these people and why they were being pardoned. Do you believe that? Does anybody on earth believe that? I don't believe it. He just said to his people, pardon my family, pardon anyone associated with me, nearly anybody,
Starting point is 00:30:44 or anybody Trump doesn't like, and here's the auto pen and you go do it, I'm taking a nap. That's exactly what happened. If the Times had asked, say, picked out 10 pardons, pretty high profile, and said, why was this person pardoned, Mr. President Biden? He couldn't answer, and the Times would never dare ask that question, because they know he couldn't answer. Bhrhr-smart life, this is another important story. Please pay attention.
Starting point is 00:31:22 As you know, we have a concierge service on Bill O'Reilly. you pay about a hundred bucks a year that is about 10 times less that you would pay a life coach or anything like that and you get a free book as part of the concierge membership if you get into trouble you can petition us and we will help you because we care about our viewers and listeners and concierge and premium members everybody says that but we really care about them all right and we don't sell your lists i've told you that before we keep your privacy a hundred percent so for a hundred bucks you get insurance life insurance if you're a concierge member so i get a a letter from florida it says quote looking for advice i understand you
Starting point is 00:32:14 recommend not to invest on the internet however three years ago i started a small account two thousand and I made regular deposits in a stalking account, Coinbase. It loves to tout how secure and protected they are, but I had a great difficulty assessing my account and was locked out on two occasions through no fault of my own. To get to the point of my request for assistance as a concierge member, I have requested in accounting for all the missing funds. Now approximately $12,000 I get the runaround.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Now, we're trying to help this guy. but here's how hard it is we don't know where these people are and the FBI doesn't know where they are either they could be in India they could be in Taiwan they could be anywhere on the planet and the concierge member doesn't know where they are
Starting point is 00:33:05 he just sent them money don't don't now I don't know whether we're going to be able to find coin base. I don't know. The FBI can't. It's not a bank where you can walk in.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It's not Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, where you got a staff. It's not a local person with an office who can look out for your money. It's some internet thing. $12,000? dollars? Now, there are two reasons why this happens. One, that people are just gullible. But I have gone over this before. Do not do business on the internet at all. If you want to
Starting point is 00:34:04 order for Amazon, yeah, that's fine. But do not invest. I don't even do the crypto stuff. I'm telling you, I'm not doing it. All right, smart life. I'll have a little bit more on this and final thought. Here are the world's richest people. They don't do business on the internet. Elon Musk, $347 billion. Mark Zuckerberg, 258.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Ellison, Larry Ellison, Oracle, $251 billion. Bezos, 243. Bomber, founder of Microsoft, 174. And then the last five, you see Warren Buffett's the only big name on it. You know, look, these guys made their money because it's a change now. It's like in Confronting Evil, I've got the robber barons. When the U.S. economy started to revolutionize into the modern stuff, these guys made so much money.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Same thing in the tech. They all made their money in tech, all right? And they got more money, and that's what Bernie Sanders doesn't like. Stay on history, July 14th, 1980, Republican National Convention opens in Detroit. Ronald Reagan is the star, 45 years ago today. Now, here's how Reagan won the nomination. Quote, he mobilized grassroots conservatives that a clear message of smaller government,
Starting point is 00:35:23 lower taxes, a strong anti-communism. President Jimmy Carter, Democrat, faced mounting issues such as high inflation, the Iran hostage crisis, party infighting, which made voters seek change, and helps Reagan's message resonate. And Reagan was so much more charismatic than Jimmy Carter. I mean, it was like ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And then Reagan got the nomination on July 17th, 1980, and here's what he said. Go. Thanks to the economic policies of the Democratic Party, millions of Americans find themselves out of work. Millions more have never even had a fair chance to learn new skills, hold a decent job, or secure for themselves and their families. A share in the prosperity of this nation. It's time to put America back to work. All right, Reagan, very successful president, two terms, waxed Jimmy Carter. You can read about in confronting the presidents.
Starting point is 00:36:21 We have the whole thing there. It's fascinating. We're going to do a final thought about social media, the internet for you. It's an extension of smart life.

Starting point is 00:36:59 or whatever it may be. They have no options in life, none. Now, there's two reasons for this. Number one, they're lazy. And I don't think that's my crew.
