Trump endorses Stephen A. Smith for president — but is it a trick?



While talking to Bill O’Reilly and Andrew Cuomo on “News Nation,” Stephen A. Smith received a presidential endorsement that no one was expecting.

President Donald Trump called into the show to endorse Smith as a 2028 presidential nominee.

“Stephen A. Smith may run for president, as you know,” O’Reilly told Trump over the phone. “Do you have any advice for Stephen A. if he launches the run?”

“No, Stephen A., he’s a good guy, he’s a smart guy, I love watching him, he’s got great entertainment skills, which is very important. People watch him. You know, a lot of these Democrats I watch, I say, ‘They have no chance.’ I’ve been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates, and I will tell you, I’d love to see him run,” Trump said to cheers from the studio audience.


“Boom,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” says. “Donald Trump has joined Stephen A. Smith’s campaign for the presidency in 2028. Doesn’t surprise me.”

“But it does surprise me that they’re paying the guy $20 million a year at ESPN and he doesn’t even have to pay attention to sports,” he continues, “He’s out campaigning for president.”

BlazeTV contributors Steve Kim and T.J. Moe are glad Trump is endorsing Smith.

“I’m with Donald Trump,” Kim says. “I hope he runs for president, please let it be. Please. In fact, let his running mate be Jazzy Jazz Ratchet. That’s a dream party ticket for me. So yes, I endorse the endorsement of Donald J. Trump.”

“I had the same thought,” Moe chimes in. “Trump’s baiting him into it. It’s no different than what I heard yesterday, Beto O’Rourke came out and said, ‘If the people of Texas want me to run for the Senate, I will run.’ And I’m like, ‘Yes, I will donate and contribute to your campaign because it will guarantee another conservative maintains Texas.’”

“That’s what I think Donald Trump’s doing here,” he adds.

Bill O’Reilly: The JFK files revelation no one’s talking about



The secrecy surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy has long been a breeding ground for conspiracy theories and debate — and judging by the American people's growing thirst for the truth, it’s for good reason.

Now, the fervor brought on by his assassination has all been reignited by the recently declassified JFK files, which Bill O’Reilly of “No Spin News” and author of “Killing Kennedy” doesn’t believe are groundbreaking in the slightest.

“There’s nothing in there that startled me, and we did some pretty heavy-duty research on 'Killing Kennedy.' We were lucky enough to get the original FBI notes,” O’Reilly tells Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable,” noting that those FBI notes “concluded with evidence that is rock solid that Oswald was the gunman.”


However, some conspiracy theories tell a different story — and O’Reilly isn’t buying them.

“A number of people have made millions of dollars by trumping up conspiracy theories about who killed Kennedy and how it all happened. Just remember, there is an industry that does that, and they make money,” he explains.

“I saw chatter on X from people saying, ‘Oh, Israel was involved in some way.’ Is there any truth to that?” Stuckey asks.

“No, of course not. The Kennedy conspiracy people, there’s a group on social media that desperately wants attention, and some of them can monetize that by saying outrageous things they can never back up,” O’Reilly responds.

O’Reilly has clearly done his research on Oswald and explains that the assassin was a former Marine sniper and thus an expert marksman.

“He comes back, he defects to Russia, and then after a few years, he gets married, and he comes back to the United States with his bride, Marina,” O’Reilly says. “But he’s still a nut. He was a nut when he defected, and he’s a nut when he came back.”

Oswald then sauntered into the Cuban consulate in Mexico City, where he was rejected.

“They reject him because he was a nut. Anybody knowing him knew that,” O’Reilly continues. “Oswald’s mad, he comes back to Texas. So that was what that was all about. CIA picked him up down there, saw him, and then he was surveilled to some extent in Dallas, so he was on their radar.”

According to O’Reilly, Oswald had a CIA minder in Dallas named George de Mohrenschildt, which is a curious part of the story.

“I believe and I think I can prove it that de Mohrenschildt was Oswald’s minder for the CIA. Kept an eye on him. When the congressional committee investigating the assassination approached de Mohrenschildt in Florida years later, de Morenschildt killed himself,” O’Reilly tells Stuckey.

“Wow,” Stuckey says, shocked.

Bill O’Reilly’s BOLD claim: Biden WILL drop out



Biden’s disastrous debate performance has caused all kinds of speculation regarding whether or not he will continue his election campaign for 2024.

Bill O’Reilly has his own theory.

“The people in charge of this are Barack Obama and Ron Klain,” O’Reilly tells Glenn Beck, noting that they've told Biden: “You can’t win. You cannot beat Trump, and he’s the devil, he’s evil. So if you don’t get out, you are helping evil.”

Meanwhile, he believes the first lady is fighting their suggestion.

“It’s his wife that’s making all the calls,” O’Reilly says. “And she is going ‘No way, no way we’re leaving, we’re fighting this to the end.’”

“The fight is now between the party elders and Jill Biden,” he adds.

However, he believes that Jill Biden will lose this fight.

“All Biden has to do is say 'I’m retiring for health reasons,' which you’re going to see, and 'I’m going to give my delegates to whomever the party wants,' and then Biden will be totally out of it and they’ll tell him to give the delegates to Kamala, to Newsom, to Whitmer, whatever,” O’Reilly explains.

Not only does O’Reilly believe that Biden’s clear mental decline is good enough reason to oust him, but he never had the support that Trump has in the first place.

“Biden’s support was thin to begin with. He doesn’t have a core support. It’s all hate Trump support,” he says. “So there aren’t many Democrats, if you believe the CBS poll, that care if Biden’s the nominee. They don’t have an emotional investment in Biden. They just want to see Trump lose.”

What Glenn is most concerned about is who is going to replace the president.

“Who do you think is most likely to replace him?” he asks O’Reilly.

“I will tell you who wants it,” he says. “Kamala wants it. Kamala’s not gonna go quietly into the night, and she’ll play the race card.”

O’Reilly believes Newsom and Whitmer are prime candidates as well.

“What about big Mike?” Glenn asks, referencing Michelle Obama.

“Obviously that would be the savior, right? But there isn’t any indication one way or the other that she wants to do it,” O’Reilly says.

Bill O’Reilly & Glenn: Could THIS lawsuit SINK Fox News?



Fox News is currently under some pressure.

The network is battling against defamation claims in court from Dominion Voting Systems, which claims that certain hosts should not have shared allegedly incorrect allegations made by President Donald Trump.

According to Glenn, there are rumors that Tucker Carlson is even being told by Ray Epps' attorney that he must apologize to Ray Epps for what he’s said.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly comes on the show to discuss.

He says that we’re going to see more and more “of this hoping that Fox News collapses — because they do have a major problem with the Dominion lawsuits.”

Beck asks O’Reilly how he sees it all ending, and the answer isn’t pretty.

O’Reilly says that because of his exit six years ago from Fox, he sees it as karma.

He says that “Dominion has a case” and that despite the fact that former Attorney General Bill Barr said the case is weak, he doesn’t think it’s a weak case.

He claims that “it could go either way,” but no matter what the outcome is, Fox is already in trouble.

“They may have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars, which will gut the company. They’re already laying off and they’re already cutting salaries at Fox News — already underway.”

O’Reilly believes that if the hosts had guests with opposing views rather than guests who espouse a similar ideology — like he does — this all could have been avoided.

He says, “My business model is simple. I always tell the truth based on facts as I see it. Fox does not do that now. It is a money machine now.”
