Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, May 8, 2024, stand up for your country. No Trump trial today, thank God, and I mean that literally, this whole thing after Stormy Daniels's testimony and cross-examination is a big. black mark against the state of New York. I mean, it's a fiasco. It's shocking when you think about it what's going on in that courtroom. This never should take place in any courtroom anywhere in this country. This is so obviously driven by politics. It's insane. And I spent about 20 minutes with Sean Hannity on a radio talking about that. Hannity I see it a little differently. I think Trump's going to be acquitted in the sense that there's going to be a hung jury. And

And the Manhattan DA embarrassed beyond belief already, even though he probably doesn't even know it, won't retry the case. But I could be wrong on that, but I'm putting myself on the jury, and I wrote a message of the day on bill o'Reilly.com. On the jury, this is what I'm hearing. Okay, so you might want to check that out. But be that as it may, all right, this is an acute embarrassment. and any intelligent people person knows this should never be taking place in a republic like we have. And then there is the political aspect of it all.

That is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So I believe it's very, very possible if Donald Trump emerges stronger after all this legal stuff is behind him, which will be in about three weeks. so this fiasco hush money trial should be over in about three weeks okay jury comes back jury says what it says immediate appeals okay Trump's not going to jail unless he hits the judge with a pie and even if the judge does sentence him to confinement it's not got to be jail it's going to be in his uh trump tower apartment with an ankle bracelet okay you don't keep sitting former president in jail for this And so that case, no matter how it goes, is pretty much done already in the Court of Public

opinion. Again, even if you hate Trump's guts, you've got to know, this is just bogus. Okay? I mean, we proved it yesterday. If you didn't see yesterday's notice of the news, if you're a premium concierge member, you can get a transcript of it. Because I just take the whole thing apart. I don't want to do that again today.

Now, in Florida, federal judge Eileen Cannon has said the Maa Lago documents case not going to be heard anytime soon. And guess who predicted that on Monday? She said that yesterday one day before, here's what your humble correspondent said. Maa Lago documents, the Florida federal judge, it's going to delay it. We're going to find a way to delay it. And even if she doesn't, it's almost impossible to convict Trump on that when Biden got a free pass. So it's, I don't know how to even do it. Now, am I an Oracle?

Come on. Am I a soothsayer? One day prior, I predict she's going to delay it and then she does. Now, maybe she's watching the No Spin News. Very possible. But I'm not going to take credit for that. My ego's big enough. But this is why you are watching and listening to me right this moment.

Because that's what we do. We're ahead of it. That Mara Lago case is not going to be heard until after the election. And the judge says, look, we don't have enough information about the classified document. and whatever to we open this trial. We can't. So that's gone. Supreme Court, as I told you, is going to kick back the January 6th case to the lower federal courts for more definition on how a president is immunity. What kind of immunity the president should have. So that'll delay it way beyond the election. Fannie Welles, poor Fannie. My God. Fannie. Fannie.

Fannie now says she's being called in front of the Georgia State Senate, and Fannie says, I'm not showing up. I'm not going to testify, even though they demand that she testify. Roll the tape. Well, you will appear before a Georgia Senate committee without a student. Well, first of all, I don't even think they have the authority to say, you know, me, but they need to learn the law. So will you appear yes or no?

I will not appear to anything that is unlawful. And I have not going to the law in any way. They can hold her in contempt. They can fire her. The Attorney General of Georgia can fire. Hey, Fannie, you're fired out by. In addition, the courts are looking at, an appeals court is looking at whether Fannie should be on a case anyway.

Remember the judge said, oh, yeah, you can be, but you have to fire your boyfriend, which she did. But now the appeals court's got, oh, we don't know. That case is toast is gone. So let's recap. Stormy Daniel's fiasco, her testimony alone, killed it. Oh, I hate him. Oh, I hate him.

Oh, I want him to, you know, oh, and the jury said, they go, what are you doing here, lady? Why are you here? I said to Hannity today, look, the first question, and I don't believe Trump's lawyers is doing a great job. I mean, Murchin, the judge said, we don't want any salacious testimony, and then 10 seconds later, there's selection testimony. And then McChan says, well, the reason was the Trump lawyers didn't object.

He has a point. If I'm one of the Trump lawyers, I would have been objecting to every sentence the woman said. Now, I know why the Trump lawyers did it, because they want to show Merchan has no control over the courtroom, which he does it. Okay, so they can use that as an appeal, but it could have been better done. So anyway, if you're sitting in the New York courtroom and you're a human being, you go, why is Stormy Daniels there? So she had a social interaction with Donald Trump. She says this happened.

Trump says it didn't. But there was a social interaction. They have a picture. Okay. So that happened in 2006. And in 2016, you're demanding money. For what? Why are you demanding?

money from the National Enquirer or anybody else. Why? For what? That's for the first question. What are you doing here, lady? You know why she's there. We went over the door man yesterday. So he's completely bogus and he got $30,000. And any human being on earth would have said, look, the president election is in seven days. You know, we got to shut these people up. Anybody would have done that because the press is going to look into the allegation. Let's put it on page one. And finally, in this whole fiasco, I wrote a message again about Grover Cleveland, former president, who's the only one who served non-consecutive terms, and that's what Trump's trying to do.

He had the exact same thing happened to him in 1874, exactly the same. But we lived in a different age back then. So check it all out. Anyway, let's sum this up. I think come June 1st, it's all over, all the legal stuff's over for Trump, and he emerges stronger. And that's the memo. Now, the smart people on the left side of the equation,

they know I'm right. And they're panicking. And they know that this testimony from Stormy Daniels was absurd. Here's CNN, go. So when you have damaging testimony that's highly inflammatory, that that could be far more prejudicial to the jury than probative of this story. And so I think some of those details, I'm surprised that the state elicited those. It didn't seem necessary to tell the story.

Correct. The jury's going to be sitting there going on. what the deuce is this? You're just trying to humiliate the man. It doesn't prove he did anything, created any crime. And then, on the left-wing occasion, there are the people on television.

Gen Saki, go. I think many of them want to be close to power. They also assume or have this thought in their mind that maybe Donald Trump will go away. Maybe he'll go to jail. Maybe he will die, not to be too morbid, but maybe, I mean, he's not a young man. Maybe he'll die. So, I mean, this is what MSNBC is paying for, that kind of analysis.

Well, maybe he'll, maybe he'll die. It's so insane. It's just, they just blabber. And they're not just the left-winger's. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. national debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets, and meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver, through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals

Hey, it's Sean Spicer 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. 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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. All right. Let's go to Biden's schedule. Back in Wisconsin, man, he must love cheese, huh? President of the United States, Wisconsin four times since the first of the year. Not doing the people's business. No way. Raising money. Racine. Then he said, wait in Chicago, more money. Money, money, money, money.

Hey, Joe, I got to break it to you, man. You can raise as much money as you want. Almost everybody with an IQ over 70 understands that you are a bad president. So, I don't know, you should give the money to charity or something. So the White House Transition Project, which is another pinhead group in D.C., they came out with a study that said, Biden has given fewer presidential interviews than anyone in more than 40 years. Anybody surprised? No.

Do you count Howard Stern? I guess you do, but I don't know. Anyway, Biden's given 89 interviews in three and a half years. By contrast, let's put it up on the screen. Trump gave 300, its first three and a half years. Obama 422. Wow. George W. Bush 1.35, but we were at war.

Clinton and Bush, 168-ish, Ronald Reagan, 189. So I guess they're hearkening back to Jimmy Carter days. Carter didn't do a lot of press because Carter was under siege, just like Biden is. President Biden has gone 100 consecutive days without a serious, you know, we don't count the playfuls media interview. Okay, now there are a lot of podcasts around, okay? and I'm not an internet guy, but I get a report and I see things from my staff. My staff's deeply involved in social media and all that, and they should be. There's a lot of stuff going on, and I'm an idiot.

I don't know anything about it. So I got an email from a friend in Florida saying, oh, man, you're no-spin podcasts as a greatest, and I had to correct them. They say, and it's not a podcast. We do a newscast. The rules are different. We do journalism, podcasts, our opinion, and entertainment. Okay, now I try to make the journalism as entertaining as possible.

And we take segments of our presentation during this newscasts, and we put them under the podcast labels in many places. All right, the reason we are so successful here at the no-spin-news and Bill O'Reilly.com is because we're worldwide now. You can catch us on YouTube, on all kinds of things. I mean, I have a list of where we are. We're everywhere. And some of those places are podcasts.

But in the straight podcast world, there's one I want to bring to your attention. It's called Truth with Vivek Ramoswamy. Okay, ran for president. He'd been on the Nozeman News before. Doing very well. And he's concentrating on a lot of media. This is what the full screen definition of his podcast. podcast says, quote, the media has systematically lied to you about the war in Iraq, 2008

financial crisis, Russian collusion hoax that never was, COVID-19 origins, Hunter Biden's laptop, the truth about January 6th, and how our money is being spent in Ukraine, the transgender national shooter memo. The list goes on. Joining us now from Columbus, Ohio, is Vivek Ramoswamy. So, congrats on the project. We need all voices, particularly from people who actually think about stuff. You don't think President Biden is going to, President Trump's going to die anytime. That's great analysis. I might die.

It's the sheer joy as they say it that you actually got to dissect here. That's actually what's going on is there's this word called Shadenfreude. It refers to rejoicing in somebody else's sorrow. That's what I saw there. And I think that's what's disgusting. But that's also the theme of why I've launched this podcast. One of the things I saw in the presidential campaign bill was the media has just systematically made a business of lying. And you talk about news media.

The idea that the news is actually the news is still the myth that many people in this country indulge. I saw that in my campaign. The objective of the news media isn't to actually report what is happening. It's to create an impression that stops people from seeing what's happening. I think you're right. Generally speaking, it's driven by ideology, particularly the corporate media, which has now decided, look, the way we make money is to preach to acquire. We don't care about the majority of the American people.

We want to spotlight certain people, have them come in as many nights as they can, and we'll give them what they want. And I think that's beyond dispute. But let's get your point of view on a number of things. So you say how our money is being spent in Ukraine. Do you think we're being fleeced here as American taxpayers? I think we have been fleeced as American taxpayers because we have very little accounting of where that first hundred billion dollars went. And I think it is a mistake. And

frankly, it's a bipartisan mistake to fork over more money to Ukraine when we don't have an answer for what the next hundred billion dollars is going to accomplish that the first hundred billion dollars didn't. Okay, let me stop. Let me stop you there. You know that all foreign aid is given to the countries and there is no accountability for that foreign aid. We do not audit foreign aid that goes into any country. We don't have that authority to do it. And we're going to asked them. But to me, looking at the Ukraine war with Russia, the Ukrainians have fought pretty hard, almost to a standoff against Putin, a much more powerful person and country. And I know that the aid that Americans and NATO have provided Ukraine has allowed that. Would you say

I'll, I push back. I think you're partially wrong, Bill, with due respect. Because had the United States not provided that aid, you know who would have, it would have been Germany in Western European countries who have actually enjoyed the security blanket that the United States has provided without actually any particular accountability. You would have been willing to take that chance because Putin takes that country over. There's an article today in a Wall Street Journal about Georgia, the country of Georgia, and how Putin is trying to undermine that country now. Georgia would like to get into the EU. Forget it. Putin has got us people on All right. Now, I had Tulsi Gabbard on yesterday, and we disagreed on Ukraine. I am firmly in the camp. I don't think it's unlimited, by the way. I don't think you just keep sending and sending. I think you and I may have a respectful disagreement on this. I think one of the things we have done in this Ukraine war by the U.S. funding Ukraine is that we're actually driving Russia further into China's hands. The Russia-China alliance is stronger today than it was two years ago. There's no doubt about that. As opposed to what I think we should have.

done bill which was in the early part of this war says now going back a couple of years there should have been an easy quick negotiation that Zelensky was ready to want it until well no no no no you know who didn't want it Boris Johnson who traveled I think it was that April soon after the war started when Zelensky was ready to negotiate Boris Johnson who was facing his own issues created a deflection and travel to Ukraine that effectively convinced Zelensky out of it so I think that many ways we have didn't want he doesn't want this he can't sell it he's a big strong man but you're right about russia and china being closer together because when evil coalesces and that's what's happening in the world iran russia china evil

they want to cause we need to disband the russia china alliance i think that's got to be the top you can't disband it i mean we have no way to disband it well here's she's the thing they're going to do what's best for them and what they love I love the discussion with you because, you know, it's a healthy, we don't have these healthy debates on the right enough. People said the same thing. You can't do it back in the 1970s when Richard Nixon made a plan to actually move. Did you trust Mao Zedong?

No, but get Mao Zedong out of the hands of the USSR. People said that was impossible. Now, did Nixon trust Mao, of course not. It wasn't Mao. It was after now at the time. No, no. Well, he pulled him out, pulled Mao led China slowly weakened to that alliance. But it was new leadership that was, and the people were starving and Nixon had an upper hand there.

It wasn't Mao. Mao wouldn't have never done that. But Putin will, I think if Trump is elected. Trump is unthinkable at the time, just as it's unthinkable today to pull Russia out of China's hands. But I think we can do it in every step we've taken, I think has had the inadvertent effect. I'm not saying here's what's possible. But the inadvertent effect of pulling them into Russia's hands. So I think you and I agree that the Russia-China alliance is the single greatest threat we face.

There's no question about that. But you've got to put Iran into that triumvirate. But I believe if Trump is reelected, that he'll make a deal with Putin. I believe that Biden is no shot. No, because Biden, no one takes it seriously. You have to actually have fear. He and Putin have some weird thing going on that nobody knows about. Okay. Now, there is a possibility that if Trump is elected in November, you will get a cabinet position or be offered one. Which cabinet position would you want? Look, I'm open-minded on the best way I can maximize impact to this country. Tell me where you think your talents would be best used. You, I'll tell you one of the things, a couple of the areas where I focused immensely on the campaign, two areas. You can think about it

as two sets of mass deportation. The first mass deportation I think we need in this country is anybody who's in this country illegally needs to be returned to their country. So you want to be Homeland Security Chief? Stop. Talk about the positions, but that's objectives of what needs to be accomplished in the next administration.

Do I think we need a better successor to Majorcas, absolutely. But what do you want to do by that? Come on. Well, I want to change this country. Where would your talents be? You know yourself. And the second thing I want to do,

this is actually really important is the mass deportation of federal bureaucrats out of Washington, D.C. So playing a major role They all go to chat. Why are you dodging this question? It's such an easy question. What the reality is, there's a lot of things that's like to do.

Where would your talents be best used if Trump is considering you? What department? Come on. Either drain in the swamp or protecting our border and mass deporting illegals. All right. The number one objective that we're going to have, though, is winning the election this November. And I'll be respectful of the conversations I've had with him. But I think what I want to focus on here is how do we actually achieve the mission.

Okay, Vivek, very good. Again, I want to remind people the truth. How many podcasts do you do a week? How many? I'm doing it once a week. The truth comes out once a week. And when does it go up? When is the best day to go?

It just went up today. So the first major episode with the relaunch just went up today. I had a great conversation with Anne Coulter about the future of nationalism and national identity in America. And we had a great discussion, spart about a lot of things. And so it's a good taste of what this about. We had a good debate. We had a healthy debate. But it was actually very friendly and respectful.

which is, I think, what we need more on the right is actual debate, but do it in an intelligent way rather than just spouting off talking points. All right. So Ann Coulter and Vivek, Ramswamy, on the truth. We appreciate you coming out. You're welcome anytime, Vivek. Thanks for taking the time today. 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 worlds of 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. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 conversation, with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. 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. Okay, so I'm going to be a lot of.

going to do an Israel Gaza thing tomorrow because again, we just don't need jerk the Associated Press reports, which are usually wrong. So hard to get accurate information out of that theater. Very, very hard. Now, in Ukraine, I use British intelligence. That's it. I don't use American sources for Ukrainian information. I certainly don't use Zelensky and Kiev because they're not telling the truth. British intel pretty good. it. All right. So when I give you a stat on Ukraine, as I did earlier this week, that Putin's losing about a thousand soldiers a day. All right, a day. That comes from the Brit intelligence. Now, in Hamas and Gaza and Israel, really tough to get what's actually happening. Because both sides

don't want the truth out there. But we're working it, and I'll have something for you tomorrow in in more detail. So I wrote a column on Sunday, and it's up on Bill O'Reilly.com. There are two ways you can read me. My weekly column on Sunday, which is entitled Class Warfare, and my daily message of the day. The message is shorter. The column is not long, but more entailed. So when I wrote the column Class Warfare about what's happening on college campuses and really what was driving it. I made the statement that climate change and the people involved with that, many of them are anti-capitalists. They want a big government to control the economy. That is their motivator and they use global warming to do that. Now let me back it up. Vermont, which is the most

socialistic state in the union. Wors in California, it's way out there. That's Bernie Sanders. He's an open socialist, and they wins the Senate's feed, time after time after times. Run again, I think the guy's 112 years old. Okay, so they pass a law called the Climate Superfund Act in Mount Peelier, which is the capital of Vermont. Vermont is a beautiful state, by the way. I love going there. But it's crazy. They're loons. So they passed Climate Superfund Act. And here's what it says. The state of Vermont will hold companies responsible for environmental contamination to clean up sites or reimburse the government for the cost of work to do so. That's okay. If a company's polluting something, they should pay for it, right? But here's where it goes

off the rails. Vermont's bill would also mandate that big oil and others with high emissions pay for damage caused by global warming. Well, what's that? Who defines that? Every storm that you get in Vermont, every snowstorm, windstorm, rainstorm, that the big companies have got to pay for the cleanup? Is I would say it? Yeah, that's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. How crazy is this? Okay, so it's unconstitutional. all the corporations that would be involved in Vermont, they just file federal lawsuit and be slapped down. I can't do this.

You can't just say, well, this company has to pay for this because we believe some theory that a thunderstorm was caused by global warming. How insane is this? That's what's happening in Vermont. And that's what the socialists want. The government to just go in and just order the corporations, companies, the private marketplace,

to do whatever the government wants. That's socialism. Communism is the next step where the government actually seizes your property. I hope we all have that. Now, New Pole, Monmouth, not reliable. Sorry, Monmouth University. You really don't know what you're doing.

Call me, and I'll tell you how to do a poll. They got 808 adults, not registered voters, not likely voters, just adults. No idea. Okay. 25, Republican, 31 Democrat, two biggest split. First question, would you say climate change is very serious, somewhat serious or not too serious? Very serious, 46%. That's down 10 points from a mammoth poll into 21. Somewhat serious, 20, not too serious, six. That doesn't add up. That's only 72%. Where are the others? This is why the Monmouth Poll, you know. Okay. How important is it federal government address the issue of climate change?

That's the socialism component. Extremely important, 29, very important 23, somewhat important 26, not important 22. So this means that most Americans are concerned about the climate change. And there is climate change. If you can read the thermometers and I can, you know that the earth is warming. But we don't know exactly why. And we do know that even if the United States punishes each of us by hurting the economy in the pursuit of a cleaner country,

India and China aren't going to cooperate. So global warming is global. You got the two biggest countries saying, you know what? And Putin is not going to cooperate. You get three. Three are the biggest countries where we're not doing it. Just keep that in mind. That means we, doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

We should. So I'm president, this is what I propose on global warming. Number one, tax credits for clean energy. So if you do something in your house, solar panels, whatever it may be, you get to take some of that off your taxes. And if you're a corporation and you're investing in clean energy or cleanups or getting a plastic out of the ocean, whatever it may be, you get to deduct some of that. That makes sense to everybody. It's not a direct tax. It's kind of a rebate for doing good work.

And then we have tough pollution standards. That's a state thing pretty much. The best thing that RFK Jr. has ever done is an entire career is clean up the Hudson River, River Keepers. He did a brilliant job with that. Okay. So it's a state-by-state, but the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, should set the standards.

You pollute, you pay. You big corporation, you're polluting, you pay. Right? Is that fair? So that's what I would do. But passing all these crazy laws like Vermont, I mean, that's... No. Okay, best and worst states in the union. How about this?

U.S. News and World Report. Categories are health care, education, economy, infrastructure opportunity, fiscal stability, crime, corrections, natural environment. Here are the 10 best states. Number one, Utah. I like Utah. Wide open spaces, not many people. New Hampshire, live free or die, like the state. Nebraska. Same thing, very get off my back. Minnesota, no. Way too much far left control of Minnesota. Idaho, okay. Iowa, same. Vermont, we just dealt with. That's nuts that that would be one of the 10 best states. Sorry, New U.S. News and World Report, but you are crazy. Washington State backs it up. That's a lunatic asylum there in Olympia. Florida, all right, Massachusetts, because of the health and education, I understand why it's on the list. If you get

sick, you want to be in Boston. Okay, if you want a good education, you want to be in Boston. I went to be you in Harvard, I know. Where states, Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alaska, Alabama, Oklahoma, Michigan, South Carolina. Now, these are generally the poorest states in the union the tax base is low they don't have a lot of money to spend on education and health care that's why they're there i take issue with south carolina i think it's a pretty well-run state okay and um Alaska is very libertarian you go to Alaska they're basically say to you in juno you just do what you want on your own watch out for the bears boy scouts Now, all the right wing is just crazed about this.

So you've got to think independently. So the Boy Scouts of America, more than a million boys, kids, are involved. Okay? And 176,000 of them are now girls and young women. They've crossed over from the Girl Scouts to the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts had terrible supervision and leadership for about two decades. And a lot of kids got abused. And you know that.

Lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. Terrible supervision, both at the local and the national level. They need to change their name. So the new name is Scouting America takes effect February 8, 2025. I have no beef. I have no beef with Scouting America whatsoever. Boy Scouts blew it. They blew it.

Now, it is a good program in theory, but you have to have discipline. You have to have oversight. You have to be able to select good people. And if people get out of line, adults, you've got to punish them. And if the scouts themselves are loons, you've got to kick them out. Okay, you can't have chaos. You're just too many. But it really helps young Americans.

So I'm hoping that scouting America will write this train. We need it. North Carolina student, this is an amazing story. So 16-year-old Christian McGee, I've been suspended from, the Central Division High School in Lexington, North Carolina, by an English teacher. According to Christian's mother, Christian asked a question about the word alien to the teacher. And he wanted a definition. Is it like, this is a quote, like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards. This is what Christian said to the teacher. Christian was suspended by the school for
