Hey, Will O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News from Monday, April 6, 2026, stand
up for your country. Big press conference today with President Trump. I'll run it down
very quickly if you want more information. It's all over the place. My, what I do is
read smart news and the Wall Street Journal. They're pretty good. The rest of them are just,
you're not going to get honest information from them, but those two zero in on. And the smart
life, the smart news thing. The reason that's good is because it does give you left and right.
Okay, it goes both ways. So you get a good cross section. So the president, of course,
talked about the miraculous rescue of the two U.S. airmen over the weekend in Iran.
Amazing operation. And everybody involved should be very proud. The situation is that
in any war, there will be risk to the U.S. military and any kind of conflict. But this one
went our way. Then the president pivoted. He didn't say a lot of new stuff.
Okay, it was the usual grievance. Nobody's helping us. Some new names were put in there, though.
Australia, Japan, South Korea, not helping with Iran. In addition to NATO, we're going to get
to that in a moment. That's disturbing. Some Gulf states are helping us, but they had the
vested interest of being right there next to Iran. And with the oil flow kind of stopped.
It's worth their while to throw in with the U.S.A. But we haven't gotten much help from
around the world, which is kind of startling. The highlight, if you will, of the presser
was when Donald Trump said this, go. If I didn't come along and terminate the Obama deal,
which was terrible, the Iran nuclear deal was a road to a nuclear weapon, a big one, unlimited.
Legally, I terminated it without even much thought it was so easy. I terminated that and then
the B2 bombers. And I did one other thing. I had killed Kassam Soleimini, who was an evil genius.
And the reason I did it, I heard he was going to knock out five of our military bases.
Okay, I write about that in killing the killers. President Trump really believes that.
And I'm not casting any aspersions on his belief, but he believes that he was designated
by maybe a higher power to come in and stop this madness with Iran. Now, the people that don't
like the president don't believe it. And both sides believe what they want to believe.
But I'm not in that soup bowl. So I know that the Iranians feverishly want to get a nuclear weapon.
If they did not, they would have allowed inspectors in. I'm a simple man. That's a simple analysis.
If you are not hell bent on getting your nuclear arsenal, why not let them in?
Okay, so they can say, they already suffered an air intrusion on your main nuclear base.
And you're now starting it up again. You say, okay, we're going to stop. Iran doesn't need to develop
a nuclear weapon. It doesn't need to. So this is all logic that I'm bringing to my analysis.
So you've got a country that's tottering, all right, may go under, yet you're still refusing
to allow the inspectors and to look at the nukes. Now, the president reiterated that the end of Tuesday,
tomorrow, if he doesn't have some kind of deal with Iran, that involves nukes, that he'll bomb
their electrical grid. Take them out. Then we won't have any communications. I believe that
that might be extended. The Tuesday deadline might be extended, perhaps for a week. Not a bad thing.
Not a bad thing. Show us the world. We're not warmongers here. We want to get this done.
Okay. But the key component is in his mind, President of the United States believes he is doing
the right thing for the world. The world largely is rejecting that.
All right. So that's what happened today. Now, the talking points memo is the new nickname Trump's
war. So I assume, and we will report tomorrow on this, that the usual Trump haters will diminish
the press conference today. And I have my producers looking for the sound and we'll go over that.
And there are people actively hoping Iran beats the United States in this conflict. And we will
spotlight those people tomorrow. Okay. The strategy from the hate Trump media is to say, we are not
winning. Okay. This is hurting every American, higher gas prices, whatever it may be,
reckoning the economy, the whole world's against us. You've heard it. Okay. And I don't believe it's
going to stop. All right. It'll just accelerate up. And then if we finally get a deal, which I think
we will, I'm praying we will, then it'll be yeah, but yeah, but it's not the deal that he said.
You see what's going on here. I mean, everybody does. And now the latest is the New York Times headlines,
Trump revels in threats to commit war crimes in Iran.
So now we got the New York Times accusing the president not only of committing the war crimes,
but revels wants to. So what are we talking about here? Well, we're talking about this quote,
100 legal experts and lawyers, according to New York Times, and you could get 100 legal experts
and lawyers say anything. Okay. So the conduct of the war in rhetoric of U.S. officials raises
serious concerns about violations of international humanitarian law, including potential war crimes.
We point out the very act of the United States attacking Iran, violation of the UN charter.
There's no evidence, Mr. Trump was acting to defend his country against an imminent threat.
So either these people don't believe that Iran has or wants a nuclear weapon or I don't know
what plan B would be. So if you have a nuclear weapon and you're pledged to kill Jews and Americans
and you've state-sponsored terrorism for almost 50 years, it's not hard to do the math here.
Is it? New York Times. I mean, this is just almost laughable what they're throwing out there.
But now it's war crimes. So let's go back into history. The only reason Japan surrendered to the
United States in 1945 was because we dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We fire bomb Tokyo. We fire bomb Dresden Germany. We the United States killed what? A million civilians?
Probably more from the sky. That was the only way to defeat these fascist countries that launched the war.
It is true. Iran did not launch any war. However, the nuclear weapon component dwarfs
anything that Hitler or Tokyo had. We're all getting this. So a few nuts will accuse Truman
and Winston Churchill of war crimes. But these are crazy people. You had to end it. Trump wants to end it.
Financial stress is hitting an all-time high. Millions of Americans are stretched thin with no extra money, no room to breathe.
And this isn't just lower income households. Middle class families are also running out of options.
If debt has been weighing on you, you are not alone and waiting usually makes things worse.
Interest grows. Minimum payments trap you. Nothing changes. You don't need another loan
or to consider bankruptcy. You need a strategy. That's why I like done with debt.

Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the
markets. Meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my
savings with physical gold and silver. The rule, the only dealer I trust, American, Hartford Gold.
And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place an attack's advantage,
gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free.
With billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five-star reviews, and an A plus from
the Better Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576
or tax bill to 999-8899. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or tax bill to 999-8899.
By saying no, Ryan, you've got to give up the nukes. Well, I can give you the facts. Okay.
So, when you are examining what's really happening, if you care to be fair, that rhymes,
you've got to take all this into account. Trump haters, whatever he does, that's NATO. Okay,
then I go like it. Whatever he does, then I go like it. Japan, South Korea, that's kind of
startling Australia, not helping. Kind of startling. I mean, it's so far away that they're not going
to be affected by any nuke that Iran might use on the stand, but come on. If the whole world,
again, I don't want to be repetitive, but if the whole world allied with the United States,
Iran couldn't exist. And that's a memo. Okay, now we go to the moral aspect. And yesterday,
Easter, I went to church. Churches were very crowded, but my religion, a Roman Catholicism,
is condemned. The United States action in Iran. So Archbishop Timothy Brolyo represents U.S.
military services like a super chaplain. He goes on CBS. Go.
Under the just war theory, it is not because while there was a threat with nuclear arms,
it's compensating for a threat before the threat is actually realized. And I think there,
I would line myself up with Pope Leo who has been urging for negotiation.
I realize also that you could say, well, with whom are you going to negotiate? And that is,
that is a problem. But that's not the real problem, Archbishop. The real problem is your statement
that Iran's nuclear threat is not actually realized. But any idea what a nuclear weapon would do
if it were realized. And you're going to wait and see.
That's a tough one. All right, that is a very tough one. And then the usual urging negotiation,
which has been underway for months, months, negotiation. And the last one in Geneva, Switzerland,
the Iranians basically said to the United States, we're going to develop the nuclear weapon,
whether you like it or not. We don't care what you say. Now, I'm not trying to persuade anybody
far be it for me to tell the Pope and the Archbishop that they're morally wrong. I'm not doing that.
I'm not. I'm not telling you about the morality of the war in Iran.
But as a loyal Catholic, I'm sitting there and this doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It's not doctrine in a sense that a just war can be debated. It's not dogma, which is coming
straight from Jesus. That's dogma. Okay, what Jesus says, that you got to love the Lord above
everything else and love your neighbor as yourself. That can't change. Doctrine can.
But again, it's not my job to try to persuade anybody that their stance on the Iran action is wrong.
But it is my job to point out that the Archbishop is saying, well, it's complicating for a threat
before the threat is actually realized. Hey, okay, you're going to wait and see if the Iranians
would use a nuclear weapon. I'm not sure I want to take that chance, particularly when we,
the United States, can do something about it. Okay, so NATO continues to sit it out. Spain's the
worst. But it was surprising today to hear President Trump say South Korea, Japan, Australia,
and other countries won't help us. All of NATO is united now. There will be a meeting the
head of NATO coming to see President Trump on Wednesday. NATO's got to do something except Spain.
Now, Spain is a socialist country. They're not like the United States. And they have denied us
refueling on their land for our planes to go to Iran. They have now actually helped out,
I understand, Iran military capabilities. Pretty startling, joining us from the Thesda Maryland,
Dr. Michael Rubin is a senior fellow at American Enterprise Institute, which is a think tank
dedicated to defending human dignity. So tell me about this Spain helping Iran thing.
Well, you know, the Middle East forums, Jose Lev Alvarez, a former Special Forces soldier
who is fluent in Spanish has exposed a great deal of Spanish industry, which was shipping
military-grade steel and other technology to Iran, to a company that was manufacturing
Iranian drones. This is at the same time as you said, Bill, that the Iran, that the Spaniards were
denying the United States access to some of the bases. And it's at the same time that the Spanish
government was also boycotting all Israeli goods and leading the braiding pack, arguing that Israel
really has no right to exist, that it's a terrorist state. I mean, it really is unbelievable
that a Spanish ally, one that was with us just a couple decades ago. I mean, a NATO ally,
one that was so with us just a couple decades ago, has made such a turn. And it has, because it's
a socialist government, is that what behind this? In Spain's case, yes, but also the Spanish
Prime Minister was elected. And as you said, he comes from a socialist background. He was elected
because among Spain's center right, there is a corruption scandal. As soon as he got into office,
however, his wife became the focus of a corruption scandal. So I suspect in Spain's case, part of
its ideology, part of its distraction. And then if we want to look more broadly, you're talking
about South Korea, which today is also a very leftist regime. And other countries, Australia,
we are like Gover in Gover's travels. And so many of these other countries are the little
cushions who simply want to tie us down without view to the greater threat that looms over the
horizon, though. But they believe the greater threat is Trump. And Trump even said it today,
this is all about Greenland. Hey, podcast listeners, Gillian Michaels here. If the world is feeling
unstable right now, and the noise and the chaos is overwhelming, if you're looking for clarity

That's why NATO hates him and will cooperate, which I think there's some truth to that.
Well, NATO certainly resents Donald Trump. Look, if we want to look at Donald Trump's first term,
one of Donald Trump's signature achievements was actually getting NATO to pay up. But NATO doesn't
necessarily like having to pay up and certainly its politicians don't like having to explain
to a public that doesn't understand that has been shielded from these threats for so long.
When it comes to Iran, you know that Iranians have conducted assassinations on French soil,
on German soil, on Spanish soil, on British soil. I mean, this notion that Iran doesn't pose a
grave and growing threat is absolutely insane. And this notion that we hear that imminence,
that Donald Trump violated imminence is simply backward when it actually comes to the roots of
imminence in international law. Well, you've got everybody alive, including the Catholic Church,
that's putting a moral label on the action against Donald Trump. And usually the church stays out
of stuff like this. But they haven't this time around. So I'm wondering if this is more about
migration into Europe because these governments fear, particularly Spain, it's going to legalize what,
a couple hundred thousand people from mostly from North Africa. And then you go down a list,
you got Britain and you got France with you, millions of people pouring in. And it looks like
the government fears those people. And of course, as you know, Iran is a Shia nation. And that's a
dominant part of Islam. You know, Bill, I'm really glad you asked this question because one of the
things that fascinates me, which regard to this current war, in talking to people from the United
Nations, High Commissioner for Refugees, for example, this is the first war where you've actually
had a net inflow of population because so many Iranians have been crossing the border from Turkey
into Iran, from Armenia into Iran, because they have such faith that the Americans and the Israelis
are bombing precisely. And therefore, they don't carry risk. What's actually quite interesting when
we talk about this issue of migration is, of course, number one, this year marks the 75th anniversary
of the Convention on Refugees. But the other issue is that on January 1st, Bahamsala, the former
president of Iraq, took over as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. He's the first high commissioner
who is actually a refugee himself. And he has rebutted this Western European socialist embrace that
all refugees are legitimate. He's basically been proposing, get back to the basics, that economic
migrants aren't refugees, and this, more than anything else, puts the Western European approach
there back as to the ropes. I mean, simply put, they're upset that they can no longer hijack
international institutions to promote their ideology, which isn't rooted in the actual law.
But you don't have that in Japan or South Korea or Australia. These countries are just sitting
it out, waiting for the United States to do the dirty work it looks to me.
Well, you're absolutely right on Japan, and I'm actually surprised by Japan. South Korea,
however, and Australia have both taken hard left terms. And so when we actually look at the
conservatives in South Korea, they're akin to mainstream Democrats in the United States.
The spectrum in South Korea, I was there quite recently, has shifted so far to the left.
We need to be cognizant and calibrate our foreign policy towards the reality of what
these countries are now, rather than what they once were. But you're absolutely right. It is
surprising. And again, going back to Donald Trump's first term, what he stopped is the
three-loading within NATO. And now it looks like we have a much greater problem. Look, when it comes
to Iran, you can kick the can down the road as far as you want. But eventually that road comes to an
end. When it comes to this notion that there was no imminent spill, let me ask you a question.
If I decided I didn't like you, and I purchased a gun, and then I googled where you live,
and then I purchased ammunition, and then I took an Uber to your house, and then I knocked on your
door and loaded the gun. At what point would I pose an imminent threat? I would argue that when
I threatened to kill you, that would be the time in which I should face consequences. And the
fact of matter is that Iranians were chanting death to America every single day. And when people say,
hey, we need more diplomacy, then how come they don't question why the Russians were selling
anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, or the Chinese were talking about selling anti-carrier killer missiles?
The fact of matter is, if you want to know why diplomacy, the window of diplomacy closed,
you got to ask the Kremlin, and you got to ask Beijing. Well, they've been historically trying to
destabilize the United States, and one way to do that is to prop up a rogue state,
they hate Israel too, but Israel's a minor player, they're a final question for you.
The Iranian strategy is fairly simple. It's a rope-a-dope, you know, use a boxing thing.
We'll take all of the bombings and all of the military action, because we don't believe
that the United States can be able to outlast the opposition both from within and without,
because the press in America, as you know, Dr. Hates Trump, and they're going to use every single
weapon they have to try to de-legitimize, which is why Trump said today, put it on Obama,
put the whole thing on Obama, okay, today. I thought it was interesting, and he did that to try to
deflect some of this, it's Trump's fault, it's Trump's fault, it's Trump's fault,
but that's what the Iranians believe that they can outlast the United States here. How do you see that?
Well, first of all, I'm reminded of that old joke about the New York Times that if George W. Bush
walked on water, the headline would have been George Bush can't swim, and the fact of matter is
the press is what the press is. During the Cold War, we had communists, we had anti-communists,
and we had anti-anti-communists, and the same dynamic is at play today, but you're absolutely
right, the Iranians are trying to wait us out. Now, the model is a historian that I look at is
1999 with the Clinton administration when we're bombing Serbia in order to compel a concession and
safety for Kosovo. And what a lot of people forget is the bombing itself didn't actually change
the regime in Belgrade, it didn't actually end Slobelon Milosevic's rule. That came the next year
because he had so few supporters left that he was much more easily overthrown. I suspect we might
be going down the Serbia path right now. Yeah, but something's got to happen with the nukes.
Trump's not going to back away from that. Oh, you're out in North should he? Look, he's the commander
in chief, he's responsible if we try to ensure international stability and security by consensus,
that's never worked before. That's why the president has always been the leader of the free world.
If we listened to global consensus, Berlin would have fallen back in the 1940s, 1950s. We wouldn't
have fought the Soviet Union. We would have, I mean, basically it would have hoped be a whole
different world, and that's what so many people on the left and so many people who are just obsessed
by Trump's arrangement syndrome don't understand. All right, Dr. Thanks very much for the good analysis.
We really appreciate it. The
dissent, that's the word I'm looking for. What do you think? You think that they're going to,
the press is going to, they can't attack the rescue mission
of the two airmen, and that's they've spent a lot of time. Trump and Hegseth and
the lead general spent a lot of time on it, but it'll be interesting to see tomorrow. And as I
said, we'll have it. All right, back home, California gas prices out of control. Diesel broke above
eight dollars gallon, highest by far in the country. Next high national average,
diesel is five sixty.
California's above eight. And then Rayleigh gas, California's approaching six bucks a gallon,
national average four dollars a gallon. Now, if you were the governor of the state in order to
give your people relief, what would you do? Well, suspend the gas tax, right?
Right? You think Newsom's going to do that? I think he might. I think he might,
because remember, he wants to run for president. He doesn't care about California anymore.
But why hasn't he done it yet? You know, just put it on hold for two months. That will bring
it down. California is sixty cents a gallon taxes, sixty cents a gallon, back with the final
thought in a moment. Okay, final thought, a lot of action going to go on this week with Iran
and the economy. So we're here and we're not going to screw around. We're going to tell you exactly
what's happening because it's way too important. So we hope you will check in with us each night.
We'll give you the facts. I'm not going to Monday morning quarterback the war. That's insane.
I don't have the intel or any of that. The people who do that are grossly irresponsible.
Okay? So we are sticking to the facts. Tonight, I'll be on a Leland Vitter,
nine o'clock Eastern news nation. I'm sure he's going to go over a lot of the Trump stuff.
We are up to the task. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News this evening.
See you again tomorrow.
