Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, June 25th, 2025. Stand up for your country. Well, another dishonest media play, but this one's really serious. All right, this is at a level I don't think I've seen before.

And I want to go over it very methodically with you. It's CNN versus Donald Trump. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. All right. So according to CNN, mission unsuccessful, unsuccessful in Iran. Okay. So I wrote a message today on BillOReilly.com outlining what the report is from CNN. But I'll give you briefly now.

four anonymous sources, okay? And when you see anonymous sources coming from a left-wing or a right-wing organization, you have to be very skeptical. So four anonymous sources telling CNN that the USA was not really successful in destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities. Now, the story on its face is ridiculous. How would they know that? How would any person on Earth know that?

Donald Trump doesn't know it. Nobody knows the extent of the damage underground in the bombing. There are no Americans on the scene. There are no Israelis on the scene, although there's a report that some people were there, but I don't believe it because they would have immediately been annihilated by the Iranian army. And the Iranians themselves cannot go down

to even look at what happened because they fear caving on them because if you look at the satellite pictures which we have, the whole surface is devastated. The mountain was almost blown away. You're telling me that they what, took an elevator down there? Come on. And even if that were true, which it isn't, Iranians never going to tell you the truth. And they would not have made a ceasefire in what, 35 seconds if that raid

had not been successful. So this whole story is a bunch of bull. Yet it's picked up all over the world, all over the world. Okay. Oh, the raid wasn't that successful. So you can basically understand the anger. So let's deal with Israel first, because the guy had an honest take on it.

His name is Effie Diefren. He is the Israeli defense minister. Okay. Spokesman. He's a brigadier general. Here's what he said. Quote, we met all the objectives of the operation as defined for us and even did so better than we had optimally expected. I say this with humility because

because it is still too early to determine. Thank you, General Gifford. You can't, there's no verifiable way to assess it. Now, the Trump administration wants to believe that they dismantled much of the Iranian nuclear capability. Fine. And the odds are they did.

for what I pointed at, the mullahs, their reaction. Here's what Donald Trump said. Go.

Those pilots, those B-2 pilots did an unbelievable job. And, you know, the fake news, like CNN in particular, they're trying to, you know, they're trying to say, well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed. You know what they're doing? They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives on the line. CNN is scum. And so is MSDNC. They're all. And frankly, the networks aren't much better. It's all fake news. Now, I'm.

Sympathy, I don't know the extent of the demoralization of our military. But if I'm the commander in chief, I probably get angrier than Trump at these CNN people, particularly if you're using anonymous sources. Who the hell are these people? You can identify them. You don't have to identify them by name. Tell me who they are. No, of course not.

You can get anything by using anonymous sources. Anything. It's simple. I never use them, okay, because it's dishonest. Now, the worst part about this is it goes all around the world, as I mentioned, and it's printed as fact. I can't tell you how many articles I read this morning on social media that this is fact. It's not a fact.

It's probably not true. Did CNN talk to somebody who said it wasn't a big deal? Sure. Is that hard? No. There are a lot of Trump haters, a lot, where you can get that kind of nonsense. But where is the verification of the article? Nowhere. And that's the memo.

All right, the president returns to D.C. today. He doesn't like these NATO meetings in G7. He's not comfortable there. He likes the one-on-one stuff. But he did accomplish getting all of the NATO nations to raise their defense spending to 5% of their GNP from 2%. That's a pretty good commitment, except Spain. Now, I'm president again. I give Spain a call and say, OK.

You're not going to help out here. It's going to come back to bite you. I got three and a half years left in this office. I'm not forgetting this. That's what I do. Okay, Spain. Now, my question is, did Joe Biden try to get the NATO spending up? No. Did Barack Obama try to get it up? No. Did George W. Bush try to get it up? I don't know. I don't know whether he tried or not. But they weren't successful. Trump did it. Not easy.

All right. The House of Representatives. So there was a vote yesterday, 344 to 79, not to impeach Donald Trump. Can you imagine this? This is just unbelievable. So at least the members embarrassed the 79 people who wanted him impeached. This came yesterday.

from a guy named Al Green, Congressman from Texas. You'll remember Mr. Green on March 4th doing this. Go. Mr. Green, take your seat. Take your seat, sir. Take your seat. Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concerted disruption of proper decorum, the chair now directs the sergeant at arms to restore order.

Alright, he got booted. And he's an anarchist, this guy. So here are some of the big names who voted to impeach the president over the Iranian bombing. Green, Cortez, Omar, Presley, Jayapal, Tlaib, those are the squad. Gerald Nadler, our old buddy. Gerald Nadler from New York. Eric Solwell from California. Joaquin Castro, Texas. Judy Chu from California.

Okay, so 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 online.

Why does the United States pay higher drug prices than other countries? Because America's the only country in the world where 340B hospitals mark up drug prices and PBM middlemen charge billions in hidden fees. Meanwhile, Americans subsidize the research and development for new cures. Other countries benefit, but don't pay their fair share.

Crackdown on the middlemen. End the free writing. Lower drug prices. Go to balance the scales dot org to learn more. Paid for by Pharma. Cortez, I don't know where Kasten is here. So Kasten is a congressman from Illinois. And he and Cortez, while American pilots were still in the mission, in the skies, called for the impeachment of Donald Trump on Saturday night.

While they were doing that. Now, I researched it. If this had been a declared war, they, those two congresspeople, would have been charged with treason. But you can't charge them with treason now. What you can do is bring them in front of the House Ethics Committee to explain themselves. Now, as we told you yesterday, the chairman of that committee is Congressman Michael Guest from Mississippi. And when we called him, he was very disrespectful to us, doesn't care about the issue at all. That was pretty shocking to me.

I have no idea why this guy doesn't care about this. I do know that the approval rating for Congress is below 20%, and maybe that's one of the reasons why. The folks don't think that Congress is proactive in situations like this. So I booked a congressperson who is proactive. Her name is Nicole Malliotakis.

and she is a congresswoman from New York. Are you as outraged as I am about Kasten and Cortes? Well, I'm outraged by the whole bunch. The fact that they not only did that on Saturday night, but that they had the nerve to try to impeach the president of the United States, 79 members, simply because he wanted to take away Iran's nuclear capability. I mean, whose side are they on? It really begs the question.

What is their intention in being in Congress when they don't want to see us being successful in this mission? And the president did not need any authorization from Congress to do what he did. These were targeted military strikes. This was a threat to the United States, the Middle East, the entire world, and it needed to be eliminated. And the fact that the president took this action, by the way, as so many presidents have done before without congressional approval,

whether it's Republican or Democrat. And President Obama was probably the one who did it the most, quite frankly. Well, look, we went over that. And the War Powers Act clearly says that all presidents have a 60 day window to use military action in protecting the United States. So that's going nowhere.

But the fact that these two would have such poor judgment, Kasten and, you know, Ocasio-Cortez, a total loon. I mean, this woman is so far out there, it's ridiculous. But there's got to be some kind of quality control in the House of Representatives. They should certainly be questioned for their role. What decision-making processes they go through that they thought this was a good idea. I'd like to know. Yes.

So you could bring an action to the ethics committee and say, I want to see him in here. And they would have to respect that action. I think if you were, and you could get others to do it too, I'm sure, did that, then I'd have to haul him in.

Yeah, well, I think that's a conversation that some of the members are going to be having with the speaker to see what our options are and how we can hold these members accountable. And it needs to be addressed because this is actually very serious what occurred here. Absolutely. You need to send a message that undermining the American military

in a time of when they're on a mission there could be killed because remember these uh pilots still in the air they're still in the air when these two loons did this and as I said if we were a declared war they'd be on charges of treason right now so when you see all of this craziness because you

know the body and most Americans watching me right now all over the world, not only Americans, they're going, is Congress really effective anymore? Or is it so tribal? Is it so divided that there are no standards left because the parties hate each other and Democrats hate Trump and Republicans hate the radicals? Is it beyond repair?

Look, I think that there is obviously a lot of division. There are a lot of factions, but we've proven to be successful in holding previous members accountable, whether it was the expulsion of George Santos or whether it be the censorship of multiple members, whether it be Ilhan Omar being removed.

removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee for her blatant anti-Semitism and anti-American actions. Those are just a couple of examples. But what I will say is that even with Bowman, look what happened with him. He pulled the fire alarm and we censored him and then he was voted out as a result of the actions. I think it was because members of Congress amplified how

what a horrible decision he made in trying to disrupt government proceedings. Thank you for giving me those examples. But we try to do what we can. I mean, it's always difficult. And obviously, when you have a slim majority as we do, it's hard to get every single Republican to cooperate. But oftentimes, we do see bipartisan support for some of these measures. Well, let's hope this thing goes to the Ethics Committee. One more question about Mandani, because you're in New York. So...

Our flagship radio station is WABC, and I'm doing a big takeout tonight about how radical this guy is and how destructive he's going to be if he does become mayor. People don't understand, and I'm going to do this right after we say goodbye to you, that only 22% of eligible voters showed up. It was 100 degrees yesterday. So he's not a lock to be mayor. But I'm going to submit to you that if this guy becomes mayor of New York City, it is over.

for the city. The flight of capital out of the city will be historic. I mean, people are not going to, corporations are not going to pay 14, 15% tax, which is what he wants to double the corporate tax now. And he wants a $30 an hour minimum wage. Bodega going to pay 30 bucks an hour? So I wonder what your perspective was on him.

Well, you'll see capital flee, you'll see residents flee, you will see law enforcement flee. This is somebody who has no respect for our law enforcement. Sadly, we've seen a lot of anti-Semitic actions and words as well. And we are very concerned what this will mean

at the core for public safety, for quality of life, for affordability in New York City. And my mother fled a communist country to see somebody who is proud to be a Democrat socialist, but really is a communist, become mayor of the city of New York. An individual who's only been a citizen of this country for seven years to become mayor of the most important economic engine of our nation is very scary. The largest city in the world, by the way, does not have a...

at all the experience to run this city. So there's that as well. So we have to do whatever we can to figure out what the next steps are for Democrats, independents, and Republicans to work together to elect someone who can defeat him. And it's interesting to see how the ticket may turn out here. If Cuomo stays on the ticket, if Adams stays on the ticket, if

and you have this three-way split, perhaps is an opportunity for a Republican to get in, even with as little as 30% of the vote. So we need to strategize here and all common sense New Yorkers, regardless of what party you are from, have to figure out what path we're going to take to move forward to elect whoever's going to be the person who can defeat this guy. Yeah, even the New York Times says he's too radical. It's crazy. Congresswoman, thanks very much for being a stand-up person.

and let us know if you do decide to do anything with the ethics committee because we're very involved with that story as you know thanks again all right so uh as we were talking about mandani uh is a 33 year old uh radical socialist he's born in uganda moved to south africa then he moved to new york went to bronx high bowdoin college in maine

Three terms in the assembly started very early very charismatic guy That's why I won because Cuomo's a bad candidate Andrew Cuomo and had a lot of money Soros money and others and bought a lot of time and 22% my god But to give you a little taste if you don't live in New York in the area. Here's what his rap is go

I want to say it very clearly because both Mr. Tilson and Andrew Cuomo's Republican billionaire donors have been lying about me on our television screens and right now. I will not defund the police. I will work with the police because I believe the police have a critical role to play in creating public service, public safety. So here's what the guy said a few years ago.

Quote, we don't need an investigation to know the NYPD is racist, anti-queer, and a major threat to public safety. What we need is to defund the NYPD. Okay, I mean, it doesn't get more straightforward than that. So that's what we have here in New York. And here's the irony of this. I live in Nassau County, which borders New York City.

Okay, I'm about maybe...

10 miles, maybe less, 8 miles from the New York City border. Nassau County is the safest county in the country as far as crime is concerned. Taxes are crazy all throughout New York State. But the county runs very efficiently because it isn't far left loons in charge here. It's fairly conservative people that are governing in a responsible way. So you cross over from Nassau into Queens,

or Brooklyn, okay? And it's like, whoa, no quality control whatsoever. But, you know, people vote for these people and they vote for them because they've given up. I've said this before. And they want the government just to pull them through life. Give me everything you can give me. And that's what they want. And they're going to vote for these socialists and communists and greater and greater, great. Now you got New York, you got LA, you got Chicago, you got San Francisco, all of them.

All of them. That's what I did on my YouTube commentary, which will drop tonight. I'll tell you a little bit more about it later. But these inner city people that a lot of not born here, but are eligible to vote. They don't want to compete. Someone can't compete. I understand that. And we have to provide safety nets. A lot of us don't want to. Give me, give me, give me, give me.

Okay, Friday the Senate is supposed to vote on a Trump tax and spend bill. So you're going to hear tax cuts for the rich a million times, throwing people off of Medicaid, on and on and on and on. Just remember one thing. All the bill does is extend what Trump did in his first term as far as taxes. Raise taxes to help the billionaires, all of that.

Smart life. Four in 10 Americans, 40 percent, are now scared to travel abroad. OK. Talker research. Pretty good. Two thousand U.S. participants. Forty percent say afraid. Canceling trips to Europe. I don't know about Asia, but I know they're canceling trips to Europe. And that's a big hit to Europe.

I get letters from concierge members and one of the services that we provide concierge members on BillOReilly.com is if you go someplace or you want to go somewhere, you run up by me because I've been to 86 countries and I can tell you what the deal is and you know what to do. I get a lot of letters, "Oh, you're not in any danger in Europe at this point unless you go to Ukraine, okay?"

But it's fairly contained. The violence is contained. If you're going to Austria, you'll be fine. That's my opinion, but it's based on facts. But fear, you know, Americans get afraid. I get afraid by a lot of things. What did FDR say? The only thing to fear is fear itself. Not the only thing. I don't want a big anaconda in my bedroom, but...

We're all getting a message. Hunter Biden. So this guy, he owes his lawyers who represent him in a Delaware gun trial and other federal investigations. He owes them a lot of money, more than 50K. And he's not paying. And they're suing him. They filed a lawsuit against him in D.C. Winston Strawn is the is the law firm. Hunter says, hey, I don't have any money.

and I could owe millions of dollars. I don't even have a place to live because I was living in Malibu in LA and the fires impacted my living conditions so I don't live there anymore and I don't really have an address and I don't have any money and I owe one of it. Now I'm sitting here going, this is the ultimate Netbo kid, Hunter Biden, right? Never did anything. He's a drug addict, he's this, he's that, you know the story. But he gets an opportunity by grifting,

to amass millions of dollars, which he did. Millions came in from China, from Russia, from Ukraine, areas came in. He got it. Now he owes millions. How does that work? How on earth does that work? Daddy, you know, set him up nicely for the ultimate grift.

And not only him, but the brother, Biden's brother, and I guess other members of his family. Remember, Biden parted all of them before he left office because they were all involved. As vice president under Obama, the money just flowed in. And here's this guy. And I'm just saying to myself, how bad is this? So now he's being sued by his lawyers. They'll never collect from this guy. If he's got money, he's got it hidden someplace. All right. I...

I'm just appalled because that is so opposite what I teach my kids and what happened to me. And it's just amazing. Anyway, you should know about it. Stay in history, June 25th, 1876. Custer's Last Stand. Now, this is a fascinating story. We get into it deeply in my book, Killing Crazy Horse, which is an action-packed book. So this happened 1876 in southern Montana, the Montana area.

was not a state then. And Custer was sent out there by U.S. Grant.

to tame the Indians. Washington wanted all the Native Americans to go on reservations, okay? And most of the Native Americans didn't want to do that, particularly the Sioux. That's a crazy horse. And Sitting Bull was involved too. So Custer goes out there. He's only 36 years old, but he performed heroically in the Civil War as a Union general, a brevet general. Okay, so he's out there.

And he's got about 700 guys in the 7th Cavalry. 700. Now he goes down and he surveils a Native American camp at the Little Bighorn River. But he doesn't see the main compound of the warriors. Misses it. But even if he saw it, you don't do what he did.

So he charges down. And remember, Custer will kill everybody. A very violent man with his guys. And then all the Native Americans come out and Custer has to turn around and run up the hill. Now, there are other U.S. Cavalry forces in the area, but they didn't come to Custer's rescue. They didn't like him very much. That controversial statement. And then Custer gets trapped there.

Now, if you go to the Custer Battlefield, which is a national park, it is a brilliant piece of history there. Those people out there have done a fantastic job of laying out. You can see the whole thing. And they have markers where all of the U.S. Army guys fell. They're all wiped out. OK. And the Indians law, you know, we don't know how many.

that the Native Americans lost because they took their dead and their wounded and couldn't count them. Now, Custer, 36 as I said, two younger brothers, nephew and brother-in-law, all killed with him. They're all with him in the battle. And that happened 149 years ago today. One of the greatest defeats ever of an American fighting force. And the kicker on it is

that the press coverage was anti-Native American. Savages, and they did this, and they mutilated the corpses. They did, okay? But that turned public opinion even more against the Native Americans, put more pressure on Washington, who sent droves of troops out, and that was the end of the Indian Wars. Again, Killing Crazy Horse, your best source for information.

Back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, final thought. I am going to be off tomorrow. I have to go up to New England. We'll be back Monday. We'll have a Sunday column for you. You know, summertime, the living is easy, but not here because I got so much to do. And I'm not whining about it. If I didn't want to do it, I wouldn't, right?

but i'm going to be uh out tomorrow and uh we'll miss you guys but i got a message you know anything happens boom we're right there just like the bombing we'll be right there now as i just said confronting evil comes out september 9th and in the book on a cover you got mal you got hitler you got putin you got the ayatollah all right the ayatollah chapters and putin you'll learn stuff you have no idea about and the other two guys we

We take you in why they did what they did. But we also have the cartel in the body of the book. We have eight other things beside those four. We have eight others. The cartels are as evil as they come. And we pinpoint the actual men.

and what they did. But there's a new book just out this week called Escobar: Taking Down the Notorious Kali Godfathers and the Biggest Drug Cartel in History. It's written by two former DEA agents, Chris Feistel, Dave Mitchell, along with Jessica Balboni, who's a friend of mine. And boy, if you are interested in this, what really struck me about the book, and it's unbelievably well documented,

It's how the cartels undermine the total government of Colombia. Took over the country, just like they're in charge of Mexico now. And they're coming back in Colombia because they got a weak left-wing president now in Colombia. They're coming back. Okay. But the detail of that book is really good. So I stole it from Oprah. Okay. I know. But Oprah, you know, her book selections were a lot of romance stuff. Yeah.

All of that and a lot of sensitivity in Oprah's books. We don't do that. We give it a hardcore style. Here's a history of it. Here's what happened. So the Bill Book Club is a little different, not as sensitive as the Oprah. And who is the actress has a book thing too? Reese Witherspoon, right? Reese Witherspoon. I don't know what Reese is doing. I kind of like her. She's pretty feisty.

But I know she's not doing what we're doing here. All right, that is it. Thank you for watching the No Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll be back on Monday. New column Sunday. New message tomorrow. Hang tough.
