Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, stand up for your country.

Very poor reporting on the Iran-Israel-USA situation. People speculating about stuff. They know nothing about it, anonymous sources, a bunch of garbage, and that's why I'm glad you're here listening on our radio affiliates across the country and watching on television, because we're going to set the record straight. Now, you have to know that the situation changes from hour to hour. I was on a Hannity radio program today, and I said, look, I don't have any hard data. that the president has made a decision one way or the other to use U.S. air power to blow up this furlough mountain where the uranium is. I don't know if that's going to happen. I do know there are plans drawn up so that, you know, if the president says go, it'll go fast.

But at this point, I don't think he's made a decision. but I could be wrong and it could happen any time so it's a tough story to be on top of yet there's so many distortions leading up to it and that's what I'm going to do and correct so that's a talking points memo about isolationism so if you believe the media isolationism is growing you know the people Americans don't want to get involved with foreign entanglements they want to get out of Ukraine I don't want any money there, they don't want to help Israel with Iran. This is what the media is pushing, okay? And some high profile individuals absolutely fit into that isolationist category.

But the regular folks, I don't think are there, but it could be wrong. All right, because data is hard to come by. There was a poll sent to me this morning. and it was some outfit that. And the poll question was, do you support military action, including ground troops in Iran? Well, no, who supports that? That's not even in play. Why do the poll? And, of course, overwhelming people.

Oh, we don't want to send U.S. forces over there. I mean, air power is one thing, but infantry is quite something else. All right, but there are, as I said, isolationists. And the interesting part is they're on both sides, the MAGA, conservative side, and the liberal progressive side. So here's MAGA guy, Steve Bannon, go. I'm telling people, hey, if we get sucked into this war, which inexorably looks like it's going to happen on the combat side, it's going to not just blow up the coalition, it's also going to thwart what we're doing with the most important thing, which is the deportation of the illegal alien invaders that are here.

If we don't do that, we don't have a country. I don't know how an Iranian action would impact on ice, but that's Mr. Bannon's opinion, and he is entitled to it. Now, on the left of the Trump haters, there's Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Go. Donald Trump is so weak in the Middle East that the Israelis essentially ran over him, and now we are speeding towards a war in the Middle East that the American people don't want. the fact of the matter is there was a diplomatic path and there potentially still could be a diplomatic path oh yeah okay i mean it's obvious the mullers are stringing us along how long do you want to give him so he doesn't care you know murphy doesn't care what's true he just hates trump all right so

let's run it down um here's a fact that if there is a nuclear explosion in this world, every human being will be affected. So if you're an isolationist, you've got to keep that in mind. So if they, the Iranians develop a nuclear weapon and they somehow streamline it down so it can be portable, portably transported somewhere. It's very hard to do it from the air. But, you know, and they blow something up, then everybody in the world is affected. So, it's not just over there. It's here. It's everywhere. The Iranian are supporting terrorists. That's beyond any doubt. Hamas, Hizbullah, they give them money, they give them arms.

The terrible nightclub assassinations in Orlando, Florida, that was ISIS. I mean, the Iranians are up to their neck and terrorism everywhere. The Mullahs admit they have the weapons-grade uranium. They, you know, they're not denying. it, they have it. And they go, oh, it's for peaceful purposes. Okay. If it's for peaceful purposes, just let the UN in. So let them see what you got. Bring it right down. It's not hard, but the Mullets won't do that. But you got to keep in mind, Saddam Hussein wouldn't do it either for weapons of mass destruction, and they didn't exist, and cost Saddam's life. He was killed because he lied about the WMDs, and then U.S. forces came in, deposed them, and the Iraqis hung him.

Didn't make a lot of sense to me, but he did it. And it's also very instructive to go back a little bit. appeasement of tyrants never works, ever. In the history of mankind, he's never worked. So the modern day history, so you remember the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, visiting Hitler in 38, and Hitler was taken Austria and Czechoslovakia,

and he's violating the Treaty of World War I. He's doing everything, he's rearming. I mean, obviously, guys, was going to cause trouble, massive trouble. And the British go, okay, go ahead. All right, World War II breaks out. Then at the end of World War II, Winston Churchill's the prime minister

and President Roosevelt and Stalin, when the war was a fait accompli that Hitler would lose, they met at Yalta. And at the end of FDR's life, he gave away the store to Stalin, gave Stalin everything he was. wanted. Winston was a little perturbed by it, but didn't have the power. And General Patton was going absolutely nuts if you read Killing Patton that FDR was giving Stalin, everything

that's down. What did that lead to the Cold War? Okay, 30, it was it 30, 40 years? That's what that led to. All right. So appeasement never works. So if you appease, Putin. Because Ukraine, you know, that's a part of this, this isolationist movement. And if you appease the Mullahs, you're going to be more trouble. Don't think there won't be, there will be. 100% guarantee. Now, if you don't believe that Iran's a threat to the world, you don't want to believe it.

And there are people like that. They just live in a bubble. You know, I see it every day. Oh, they're not close to developing a nuclear. developing a nuclear weapon. And one of these people is the American national security director, Tulsi Gabbard. This is amazing story.

So Gabbard doesn't see the threat, even though President Trump appointed her at national security. Doesn't see it. Roll the tape. Political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.

Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. Now that was just posted about a week ago. If you're thirsting for asphalt's

That's it for Tulsi. She's done. okay and when she was appointed national security chief i like her by the way i mean i've interviewed her a number of times and i think she's a woman of conviction but her conviction is isolationism and trump shouldn't know that so she's out all right let's sum this up um president trump's not a a warmonger. He doesn't really want to use U.S. air power, but there's a good chance he will. A lot of it has to do with how the mullahs behave. If the mulls would surrender and the UN people would go in there under U.S. supervision and dismantle the whole thing, then there wouldn't be

a need for it. That's probably a long shot. The mullahs themselves are going to wind up like Gaddafi with their throat cut in a ditch. That's going to happen to it. them, but if they were to surrender, maybe they could extend their lives a little bit. The other possibility is the Iranian army will turn on the mollas, remote, okay, but the Persians are different than the Arabs. Popular support in Iran is not with the mullahs, but they got the secret police stake going on. All right, so I can't predict with any certainty what will happen. I do know that air power plans are drawn up and Donald Trump could act on them any time he wants. It's up to him 100%. Israel doesn't have much say in this. Israel will have to do

what we tell them to do. And Netanyahu will be thrilled if we go in and dismantle that furlough Mountain. And the anti-Semites, the anti-Israel progressive crew, they're touting that we're lackeys to Israel. You know that. That's what all those Columbia University things were all about. You know, Israel's a terrorist state, is a genocide, on and on and on. But in real life, Israel's not going to let Iran have an atomic weapon, an atom bomb, a nuclear weapon, because Iran wants to kill them all. If you lived in Jerusalem, you'd feel his name away. And that's a memo. I was bringing a guy who is watching this very closely.

Doug Schoen, you know him, we use them a lot, Democrat political strategist, down to Miami. So you say that you have seen a survey of 800 U.S. adults on this issue. What do they say? By two to one, they support what Israel is doing. You made the point in your talking points memo. that there are isolationist elites who are speaking against any involvement or entanglement. The American people get that the Iranian regime is a terrorist regime, that they are seeking to develop nuclear weapons,

and by better than two to one, they support the actions of the Israeli government to try to dismantle that apparatus. How do you know that, though? Was this a formal poll taken? Yeah, it was a formal poll. It was done for a group. It was done for a Jewish group, full disclosure. But they didn't tell us what to ask or what to do. We asked a random sample of 800 Americans, as we would, in any political poll, what they thought. And there is clear support. Now, your point is also right, Bill. These attitudes do change. We saw during the Iraq war, there was big support at the start. And then by the end, to the Iraq war, less support. Support for Israel after October 7th. That's dissipated for the reasons we've all discussed. But bottom line, right now, there's support for action. And I would argue, Bill, that if you're in the Trump White House, and again, I can't speak for his decision,

nor can anyone. But this is a time when the Iranian government is weaker. Their proxies in the region or weaker and public opinion is supportive of action against their nuclear. Yeah, it's a right time to move them if you're going to do that. You're going to do it. One of the questions you have is, do you support Israel's actions as self-defense against Iran? Only 51% of Americans say that Israel is acting in self-defense. Does that surprise you? No, it doesn't because unless you're watching this very closely every day, you don't believe.

that Iran, which has been negotiating, I think, in bad faith, but whatever faith, you think, well, you know, they've been negotiating, and maybe there was a possibility of a deal. I don't believe there was. I don't think you believe there was. The Israelis certainly don't. But then I think Donald Trump increasingly doubts in himself. But I could see how an ordinary person at home would say, well, you know, we should have given diplomacy more of a chance.

Okay, but there comes a point where diplomacy acts against your own self-interest if it just goes on and on and on and on, which is what this has been. What, this is years we were going through this, Doug. And I told Hannity on his radio program today, it's funny when the Democrats, your party, criticizes the lack of diplomacy because none of this would have happened if not for President Biden. Once Biden surrendered in Afghanistan, then Putin started on a march.

China started on the march. Iran started to upgrade its uranium and kick more money because Biden and Obama gave them billions and billions of dollars into Hezbollah and Hamas. This all goes back to Biden. Yet the Democrats...

I think it goes back. to Obama and the JCPOA? Not quite as much. I walked through this. Obama made a huge mistake, and he delivered, the President Obama, delivered the money to the mulles.

Six billion dollars. In cash. Yeah. And a private play full of suitcases. And nobody knew about it. And that tells you that that was, but Biden's weakness. And I know that,

this because I was in Beijing three weeks ago. Okay? And I, you know, once the Chinese saw that, that Biden surrendered in Afghanistan, boom, South China Sea, all over the place. They're intruding Straits of Taiwan because they knew that Biden wouldn't do anything, and he didn't do anything. Okay? So that Trump was handed this massive disorder throughout the world. But Trump does not want to use American military power because of the unintended consequences that few people understand. There will be consequences if we bomb that mountain in Iran. That's undeniably the case.

Anytime you launch that kind of a strike, the possibility for collateral risk, damage, and developments that we can't now anticipate are heightened exponentially. So I think Trump is ready to act from what I see. No, he's ready. People would be supportive, but whether he pulls the trigger or not literally and metaphorically, time will tell. I think it'll be a quick decision one way or the other. Yeah, I'm giving it could happen. Look, we're taping this late afternoon.

It could happen an hour for now. Right. And it's hard to get a handle on it on what he's, because I don't know the end. intel coming in. So there's a lot of intel coming in to him about the Mullahs in their condition and the Iranian army and their point of view. But I think that if I had to advise the president, I have not been on this, I would say give it as much time as you can, but tell the Mullahs through the Swiss ambassador, that's how it goes, that, you know, 48 hours you're going to get Their heads cut off.

I mean, I would do that behind the scenes. I would tell you, having worked for five Israeli prime ministers, worked for a couple of American presidents, that's very sound advice. Yeah, because once we bomb, that's the end of the Mullahs. Their regime is over. The Mullahs could keep their power if they surrender. That's correct.

And that's like Kham. It's like Kadafi. It would make Trump steal in a heartbeat. Yeah. So it's like Gaddafi. All right, Doug. Thanks very much. much. We always appreciate your expertise. All right, over in Alberta, Canada, a very beautiful

part of the world, by the way. I hate that, by the way, I'm sorry. Very beautiful part of the world, period. No, by the way. Zelensky is asking the G7 nations minus Trump for 40 billion to carry on against Putin. So the only country that's ponied up by tape time is Canada pledging $2 billion. The other, are they going to, I think they will. I don't think Trump's going to abandon Ukraine. But remember, whatever Trump does, and this is so important for you to remember. So if he bombs the nuke thing in Iran, if he doesn't give Zelensky the money he wants, the press is going to crucify Trump, no matter what he does. Okay, and that's important to understand.

Because the press is ginning up this isolationist movement. And I don't think most Americans are isolationists, but I think that's a growing crew. They really don't know what the unintended consequences of a terrorist state arm with a nuke would be. So in Los Angeles, talk about a terrorist state. You know, I've been going out to L.A. since I'm 22 years old. Southern California, I'm just always, but L.A. now.

So it costs the city more than $20 million for these dopey no-king demonstrations. And the city owes a billion dollars. So the city of Los Angeles owes a billion dollars. and they pile on at least another 20 million controlling this demonstration. And they don't have the money. Isn't home where we all want to be?

Now, in the past, what usually happens was when a city gets into trouble fiscally, the feds come in and help.

No. That's not going to happen this time. So the governor, Newsom of California, he's going to have to help the city of Los Angeles, but he didn't have any money either. He squandered. everything that Jerry Brown, the former governor, left him. Jerry Brown left office with a surplus. Did you know that?

Liberal Jerry Brown had a surplus because he was frugal. And now I don't know the number, I should know it, but it's astronomical debt that they have. But L.A. had no money. So the former governor of California is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Okay, you know, Arnold. All right, determinator. So he shows up on the view yesterday why no one knows, but he's there, and they get right into the immigration deal.

Go. So I think the important thing is when you become an immigrant to think about, okay, I go to America because I want to use America for the great opportunities that America has, in education, in jobs, creating a family, all of those kind of things. then you have to think about, okay, if I get all of those things from America, then I have to give something back. You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America and to pay back to America. Don't forget, there's 90% of the people who come here are trying to do the right thing.

Okay, well, being the whole crew are open border people, they wouldn't put any restraints on anybody to come here. And this is what ABC News is selling. But I like what Schwarzenegger said. You know, I liked it. I think that's, you know, and I, the immigrants that I know, my driver last night was up in Yankee Stadium. He's from South Asia.

And I had to deal with a guy today on a book situation who's from India. And they're here legally, because I always check. And boy, they're giving back a lot. But they love, and I want Homeland Security to install a review process that some of the people getting caught up in these raids have a reason to be here, and their cases should be reviewed. I think that's fair and that should happen. So I'm pro-immigrant there, but come on, I mean, oh, 90% of them are trying to do the right thing. or okay, you can't allow billions of people to pour in here, whoopee, don't have the money

or the social protections. Boy, oh, boy, these people are so dense. Now, again, I'm not, I think historically it was worthy, but now it's a far left. organization. So it's like the ACLU. What are you doing? It gets taken over by the militants. So they're not going to invite Trump. He wouldn't go anyway to address the convention. This is the first time in history, more than 100 years, the NACP has not invited a sitting president. July 9th through 16th is their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, and they are disrespecting Donald Trump. Why?

Under his first administration, African American wages went up to record levels. Why are you disrespected him? I know why. It's the Democratic Party and all that. San Francisco, worst-run city in America. No surprise, right. Wallet Hub. We like Wallet Hub. They're kind of feisty. Today is a survey based on financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure. All right, here are the five worst cities in the country. Number five, Philadelphia, number four, New York City, number three, Oakland, number two, Detroit.

And number one, San Francisco. So I can speak to all these cities. San Francisco is a mess because of progressive leadership, they allow all minor, they consider the minor, so you want to use drugs in public in front of children, yeah, go ahead. You want to gross people out with your personal behavior, yeah, that's okay. You want to live on the street, you want to spit on people, you want to do it, fine, no problem. So when you get thousands of people doing that, you got a city of collapse. Detroit always been a problem because of drug addiction. and crime always and Oakland Oakland is very progressive pretty me more progressive than San Francisco it's the same disease you're just going over a bridge okay

Oakland one side of the bridge that's the other same mentality anything goes no restraints New York City is dominated by far left people social disorder is everywhere weak leadership across the board both at the city and state level, and Philadelphia is a mess. So my message of the day is on Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, okay, on Bill O'Reilly.com. Now, real quick, here, the five best-run cities, ready? I'm not going to put them up full screen, but I'll just read them off. Provo, Utah, pretty easy to govern that. Nampa, Idaho, same, Manchester, New Hampshire, Boise, Idaho, Nashville, Nashville, New Hampshire. So New Hampshire and Idaho is going to be under control.

if you're looking for both pretty chilly but they work smart life so um this is a study by the u.s. retail and food services commission all right take it in may so the headline is uh spending at restaurants and bars fell by nearly 1% in may biggest monthly drop in two years okay why because people are nervous, but it's more than that. $26 cheeseburgers.

I didn't go in, I just looked at the menu, and all in cheeseburg is $26. But they give you fries, though. Fries cost about a buck. So ground beef isn't up. They're just slapping you.

And if you look at the appetizers, now appetizers are running 15 to 20 bucks. Salads are running $12 to $18. And then entrees are running 40 and up. People can't do it. Dying out, a family of four, took about $300. And that's before booze. that I just can't do it. And that's what's happening.

You know, everybody's a little uneasy about the economy because we don't know what direction, but it's the insane prices. All right, streaming. Let me explain what streaming is. So everybody understands what I'm talking about. Streaming is you access video and audio through the video. the internet. That's streaming. Okay, so through this or through your computer or you hook up your computer to your TV set, that's streaming. Okay? And that is different obviously than getting information through an antenna that I don't have them anymore, or cable,

which you have to pay for. All right, they put it in a line to your house and that's straight linear television. That's the networks, that's the cable news programs, that's Discovery, all of that. For the first time in history, streaming has gotten more people than the linear stuff. First time in history. Forty-five percent of all viewership in America is streaming. 44 is the other stuff. It's passed. And the younger people, of course, are going to YouTube and Netflix and all of these, but so are the older people. And that's why I'm prospering so big, because we stream. Now, we are on linear, we're on direct TV, we're on the first, we are.

You can get us on all that, but we're on YouTube, Spotify, all of that. Boom. So I did a Stephen A. Smith's podcast earlier this week, 200,000 people right off the bat, boom. Okay, because that's streaming and they're looking for content. And we give them good content. Stay on history, June 18, 1983, astronaut Sally Ride becomes the first woman in space. Very interesting woman hasn't gotten her due, I don't think, in history. So, 42 years ago, she went up into space on the Challenger, you may remember that, Space Shuttle.

And she spent 343 hours up there and was the youngest U.S. astronaut to ever go into space in addition to be the first woman. Now, Ms. Ride was a very interesting person. Her dream was to play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers. She played tennis against Billy Jean King. She was on the Muppets. and she achieved, assumously, the nation's highest honor, Medal of Freedom.

And Barack Obama gave her that. So she died at age 61 in 2012 from pancreatic cancer. Very brave woman. And I hope they're teaching about it in high school, Sally Ride. It was an extraordinary individual. We wanted to let you know that in our history segment.

Final thought about you trusting other people. Back in a moment. Final thought, I have a message of today on trusting people. And there's an article in a psychological bulletin that says, if you trust people, you're going to be happier, okay, and you'll prosper more. I don't know. I don't want you to be cynical and I don't want you to be isolated. That'll make you unhappy, both of those things.

But our new motto, and you may have noticed it, is trust is earned. Trust is earned. You don't automatically trust people. In our society today, lying? stealing, scams, all of that, far more prevalent than ever before in history.

When I was growing up as a kid, in the 50s and 60s, you lie, you steal, you get a lot of trouble. Now you ask any lawyer, perjury in court of law, out of control. Nothing happens to you. You up there, swear to tell the whole truth, then you lie your butt off.

They won't do anything to you. you steal you could steal nine hundred dollars worth of stuff in california and you won't be punished and a voters okayed it so i have an example in my message they were my mother at the end of her life i had to have 24-hour people in a house to care for her almost all of them stole from an old lady So anyway, I trust a number of people. They've earned it. But other people that I did trust betrayed me. Same thing happened to you.

I can guarantee it. Every human being gets repatriated. It's the reason Judas Ascariad has a prominent place in the New Testament. Careful. Thanks for watching and listening to the No Spin News. Let's see tomorrow. Mom, Papa, my body grows at a rhythm alarmant
