Bill O'Reilly Chuckles at Newsom-for-President Rumors: ‘J.D. Vance Has Got to Be the Happiest Guy in the World'
With what the Associated Press calls 'the earliest phase of the 2028 presidential election season already underway,' one name being floated for the Democrats is California Gov. Gavin Newsom – and Bill O'Reilly says that should make Republicans feel pretty comfortable in these early days. Newsom hasn't declared either way, but media outlets from the AP to Politico to NBC News were reading the tea leaves last week as the second-term governor is rumored to be kicking the tires and working on a 'rebrand' as a more centrist candidate than previously advertised. As he tends to do, O'Reilly just said it outright: 'Gavin Newsom is running for president,' the 'No Spin News' host said. 'I told you this earlier this week, and he sees an opportunity because there's no competition on the Democratic side for him at this point. Newsom — talk about a hypocrite. This is hypocrite number one.' O'Reilly pointed to Newsom's recent pivots on homelessness and a proposed cap on state public health spending for undocumented immigrants as evidence. 'Well, what took you so long?,' O'Reilly said. 'You've been governor for six years. [Homelessness] has cost the state billions of dollars and has destroyed San Francisco and other cities. And all of a sudden, you're enlightened? You want the homeless camps dismantled?' He also rolled a clip of Newsom recently talking about his plan to address the state's annual $12 billion spending deficit. 'So here are the solutions,' Newsom said. '$5 billion on a freeze on our Medi-Cal expansion. We're not cutting or rolling back those that are enrolled in our Medi-Cal system – we're just capping it, particularly for those with documentation.' O'Reilly called spin on that: 'Yeah, a cap. What a weasel this guy is. So, why didn't you do it five years ago? Why didn't you do it? It is so ridiculous.' And finally, O'Reilly had a good chuckle at Newsom's blame for the state's financial woes on the Trump administration. 'California is under assault,' Newsom said in another clip. 'The United States of America, in many respects, is under assault because we have a president that's been reckless in terms of assaulting those growth engines, has created a climate of deep uncertainty, and certainly has California in his sights.' The former Fox News host found that truly funny: 'So, it's Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault that California has a $12 billion-a-year deficit. Democrats, is this what you want? This is what you're going to put up?' O'Reilly concluded that it's only good news for whomever Republicans intend to run in 2028 – especially if it's the current vice president. 'J.D. Vance has got to be the happiest guy in the world,' O'Reilly said, shaking his head. 'He's got to be the happiest guy in the world. Yeah, bring it on. Unbelievable.'

O'Reilly signals Trump ‘making a mistake' with Abrego Garcia stance
Bill O'Reilly argued that President Trump is 'making a mistake' over his firm stance on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation and unwillingness to return him to the United States despite an order from the Supreme Court. O'Reilly, speaking on his 'No Spin News,' said he thought Trump could be alienating the Supreme Court by not facilitating Abrego Garcia's return. 'The Trump administration's making a mistake not bringing the man back because the Supreme Court wants the man back,' O'Reilly said in comments highlighted by Mediaite. 'And if I'm President Trump, I don't want to alienate the Supreme Court, period.' O'Reilly noted that Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran citizen who is in the U.S. immigration system after a 2019 court order granted him permission to evade life-threatening conditions in El Salvador. The Maryland man's deportation has become a flashpoint in American politics, with Democrats demanding he be returned. The Supreme Court's order for the administration to 'facilitate' his return has led Trump officials to place responsibility with the Salvadoran government, which has said they will not be returning Abrego Garcia. The battle also highlights the executive branch's struggle with judicial power as the case plays out in the courts. O'Reilly was in favor of bringing Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. and letting the justice system handle the case. Abrego Garcia has been under scrutiny from the administration for being involved with 'human trafficking' and the MS-13 gang. The Department of Homeland Security revealed he was suspected of human trafficking while pulled over for a traffic stop in Tennessee in 2022 while driving with eight other people. 'The authorities in Tennessee did not charge this guy, Garcia, with anything, but they caught him. No, he's not some guy cutting the lawn on Saturday in Maryland,' O'Reilly argued. 'But let the Justice Department prove it, and then you boot him,' he added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Malaysians bite back at Bill O'Reilly's ‘poor' claims: ‘we have free healthcare, grandpa'
Malaysians , stung by claims that they are poor, have fired back at US political commentator Bill O'Reilly, criticising both his ignorance and America's ill-treatment of its own people despite its relative wealth. Advertisement O'Reilly, whose No Spin News channel on YouTube draws a loyal following among US conservatives, has been the target of Malaysian social media vitriol since last week when he said Malaysians 'have no money' during a monologue lambasting Chinese President Xi Jinping 's tour of Southeast Asia. On Thursday, he doubled down on his position by comparing what he said was Malaysia's per capita income of US$5,731 to the average annual earnings of US$42,220 of each American worker. 'So, if you want to buy a little hat, and you're only making five grand a year, you're not going to buy it,' O'Reilly said in a segment posted to his channel. 'You're not getting Chinese takeout either in Kuala Lumpur. You're barely eating.' Bill O'Reilly hosts the No Spin News channel on YouTube. Photo: Instagram/Bill O'Reilly O'Reilly was responding to criticism from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim , who last week described the American's rant as 'imperialist'.
