Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Thursday, January 12, 2023, stand up for your country. Getting harder to do that because it's so chaotic, but we have to do it. Stand up for your country. Now, it has not been a good 12 days, the first 12 days of 2003 for President of Biden.
Starting point is 00:00:33 So today, did you see it? Did you see the announcement of a new special counsel? How many of those? We have 18 now? Going to look into the Biden document thing? Now, we have the inside story on that. You're going to appreciate it. But I have to do the talking points memo
Starting point is 00:00:51 because I prepared this especially for you. I'm going to do that first on immigration. Then we'll get into the Biden document. which is an amazing story. And I don't use that word as a cliche. It really is. All right, talking points, memo. Let's talk about legal immigration to the USA. We always say that if you're listening and watching the NOSFIN News, good to have a pen and paper because you can use this information. So in the whole world, the United States is the second most generous nation on legal immigration. Second, who's first?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Germany. Germany takes in 1.2 legal immigrants every year. We take in a million. Now, Germany is mostly from the Middle East, North Africa, to do domestic work that the Germans won't do themselves. Okay? So we take in a million here immigrants legally every year. That means they get papers, they get the right to work, all of that. Illegally, under Biden, we have about between 5 and 6 million that have come in under him. I'll get to that in a moment, but I want to give you the legal stats. So to get here legally, you have to go through a process. You have to apply. And then four years from 18 to 21, all right, more than 3 million people have gone through that process and are now here.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Overall, 34 million foreign nationals live legally in the United States, and about half of them have become American citizens, right? 34 million. That doesn't count illegal aliens, okay, which I estimate between 15 and 18 million. All right. So that's a lot of folks. We're taking a lot of folks in, but we should take more. So Congress should pass a new immigration quota of a million and a half, half of them by merit, people that the United States needs, all right, to do business or academics or whatever it may be, and half on refugee status. What is that? Like the Afghans who helped us, coming over, the Iraqis who helped us, various people in various countries who have contributed. to the benefit of the United States, and now they might be in some trouble.
Starting point is 00:03:26 That's refugees. That's different from asylum. Okay, asylum is a totally different thing, all right? And that is a case by case where a judge makes the decision. But Congress can say, we'll take a million and a half, half merit, half refugees. I think that's generous, and we can control that number here. It doesn't set off demographic chaos. like this massive wave of illegal immigration does.
Starting point is 00:03:57 So the border is not going to get any better under Biden, because as I've said, probably too much, and I apologize if I'm repetitive. President Biden doesn't care about this at all. All right, it's way too complicated for him. He's afraid of the progressive left who wants open borders. Everybody knows that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:18 So he's not going to do anything. And when he went to El Paso, he didn't want to be there, he didn't do anything there. It's a whole charade. So Biden's got two more years in office. Nothing's going to get better at the border. But if you ask his press secretary about that, here's what you get. Go. The president has been doing the work.
Starting point is 00:04:37 And if you think about the record funding, he has done more than any prior president to secure the border and build a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system. Well, I don't think there's one America, not one, who believes that state. Now, is she lying? Yes. It's not misleading. It's not spinning. She's lying. All right. So Donald Trump, for example, tried to build a border wall and was successful in his remain in Mexico policy. He did a thousand times more to control illegal immigration than Joe Biden, a thousand times more. Yet that woman has a mitigated gall to get up there and go, no, Biden's done more than any other president.
Starting point is 00:05:21 It's just a flat out lie, all right? But she gets away with it. I mean, I understand that. But if you, you know, when she comes on, I have my producers listen to her. I just can't. I can't even listen to her because I know that this is not an honest venue here. The White House press office is not an honest venue, period. Now, you can make the same argument for the Trump people and the Bush people and the Obama
Starting point is 00:05:50 people. They were spinners. That's what they do. Okay. But a lie like that, come on, that's insulting. That insults me. All right, illegal immigration. So the only solution other than the big wall and telling people, if you come here illegally and we catch you and send you back and you do it again, you're banned for life. If it's the third time, you go to prison. That should be a law. Okay? You cross our border.
Starting point is 00:06:25 We send you back. Okay? If you come back again, you're banned for life. You get sent back again. Go back a third time. You're in prison, five years. All right? We'll build them.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Immigration prisons. Okay, that's it. So that would put a real damper on people, conning the system, gaming the system, which is what they're doing now. Everybody knows that. Okay? So then you'll get from the left, well, we need comprehensive immigration reform. It's impossible because the Democratic Party wants total amnesty for everybody.
Starting point is 00:07:00 You heard Senator Schumer say that. Said flat out, every single person, even the criminals. They want amnesty and citizenship for all 18 million of them, whatever the number may be. Republicans are never going to do that. And even when the Democrats control both houses of Congress and at President Obama sitting, they didn't get that. They didn't do that. And the Republicans are never going to compromise until you put up a wall, a border wall, and have a secure southern border. They're never going to give one person the right to come here until that's done.
Starting point is 00:07:39 So the gulf, the breach between the two parties is so big, you're never going to get it. Never going to happen. Okay, so forget about comprehensive immigration reform. Now, Congressman Pat Fallon, Texas, filed impeachment against Department of Human Department, the ICE leader, Mayorkas, all right? Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. There's Mayorkas. Fallon wants him impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. not wise because Mayorkas is a flunky all right he's a flunky that's enough of him we know what he looks like all right he just takes orders from it's Biden if you want to impede
Starting point is 00:08:28 somebody it's got to be him I'm not recommending that at this point because I want to see what this Hunter Biden stuff leads to first but if you violate immigration law which Joe Biden is by allowing people to apply for asylum when they get caught in the desert instead of going to ports of entry, which the law specifically says, you want asylum in the United States? You've got to go to a port of entry. And there's a ton of them on the southern border. A ton of them. But the people now, they're caught in the desert by ICE, and they go, I want asylum, and Biden's permitting that.
Starting point is 00:09:05 That's a violation of federal law, a violation of its constitutional oath. You can get them on that. But mayor is, why bother? I know it's symbolic. I understand that. But everybody knows what it is. So summing up, we should be a little bit more generous in allowing legal immigrants in here, a million and a half. It has to be done an orderly basis, refugees and merit. And on illegal immigration, we got to get tough. But Biden will. And that's a memo. Now, so there's more. documents. This time they find him in Biden's garage in Delaware. And he goes, well, I got my
Starting point is 00:09:48 Corvette locked up in that garage, so don't worry about the documents. That was what Biden said. Okay. And so it's a special counsel. Another one. Remember Durham. Durham's still on a payroll. What was Durham doing? He was supposed to get to the bottom of all this FBI corruption and everything. What is that? It's one after the other, after the other of special counsels. Okay, so the new guy is Robert Hur, 50 years old, New York City born, Harvard College, Stanford Law School, Swamp Creature, Special Assistant to FBI Chief Christopher Ray, assistant U.S. Attorney, on and on, you know, his establishment guy. I guess he's competent. I don't know him, but he's a special counsel looking at the Biden's
Starting point is 00:10:33 documents. But here's the thing about this whole story. It's not being reported accurately. Or is it? All presidents wind up with classified documents in their offices, private offices after they leave, the White House. All of them. Because they don't pack it. Trump didn't pack it. Biden didn't pack it. There are people throwing stuff in. All right. And here's what Biden said this morning about this whole thing. Go. The Department of Justice was immediately, as was done, the Department of Justice was immediately notified, and the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of the document. So you're going to see, we're going to see all this unfold. I'm confident. Okay, fine, but you didn't tell the public. Okay, so this happened before the midterm election, as we reported yesterday.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And we didn't find out about this to last week, January 12. I'm sorry, it wasn't January 12th. It was the documents in Biden's Wilmington home were January 12th. We didn't find out about this until about 10 days ago when CNN reported it, NBC reported something like that. So for a solid two months, the Biden administration kept it quiet. covered it up? Sure. Sure. So Joe Biden said, oh, we immediately told the Department of Justice and the document. And you didn't tell us. You worked for us. You didn't tell us because you didn't want that out before the midterm vote. And that's why. That's the story. The cover up. The old cliche, it's not the crime. It's the cover up. Here you go. Now, Donald Trump's got to be the luckiest guy in the world, right? To all this Mar-a-Lago with document stuff, bye, gone,
Starting point is 00:12:39 because you can't do anything to Trump unless you do the same thing. And Biden, it doesn't matter how many. It doesn't matter how many. It's the same thing. So there's Trump going, okay, I dodged another one. And he did. So in the end, nothing is going to happen. on the document front.
Starting point is 00:13:02 That's going to happen to Trump. Now it's going to happen to Biden. But the left-wingers in this country, they're desperate now to save Biden's reputation. Because remember, Biden was hard on Trump. Biden pounded Trump for this document stuff. And remember the FBI raid. Of course, you remember that on Mar-a-Lago.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I mean, it was totally, I said at the time, didn't have to happen. That was ridiculous. It was absurd that happened. Anyways, on News Nation last night with Chris Cuomo. We do that every Wednesday. And of course, this subject came up. The only thing I'll say about the documents.
Starting point is 00:13:39 They're looking at them now like crazy. Is the saving grace, and it is grace, for Trump and for Biden and for most of these guys, is they have no idea what documents they retained, and the statute demands it. That's correct. It's got to be willful retention. I don't know about the, didn't release them before the midterms. I don't think Biden knew anything about this. I have no reason to believe otherwise.
Starting point is 00:13:59 The only problem from Trump... That's impossible, Cuomo. Excuse me? That's impossible. What's impossible? So, six days before the midterms. Right. They, his lawyers, his own lawyers,
Starting point is 00:14:09 discovered the documents, reported it to the archives. Right. And you're telling me his own lawyers wouldn't tell him? Oh, no, look, they may have, but I don't think they hit it. And I think that, look,
Starting point is 00:14:22 Of course they hit it. Well, they're the ones who disclosed it. Of course they hit it. We didn't find out until a couple of days ago, Cuomo. But they did. closed it. The archive, the DOJ didn't come to them and say, do you have these documents? They told the DOJ. Yeah, two and a half months later, after a major election, they disclosed. I think it's a problem. Yeah, I think it's a problem. But you see that Chris Cuomo didn't want
Starting point is 00:14:46 to admit what everybody knows. That would be impossible for Biden not to know his own lawyers discovered documents classified in an office and district. DC. Because the fiduciary duty of an attorney, any attorney, is to tell their client what's happening full disclosure. They would have had to have done that. It was impossible for Biden not to know. So Biden made the decision not to tell anybody for two months plus. But the left doesn't want, they don't want, no, that's too Nixonian. The cover of. up. Anyway, that's a worthy debate on News Nation every Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I hope you'll dial into that. If you didn't see it last night, I posted a lot of it on Bill O'Reilly.com, and you don't have to be a premium member or anything to get it. You just go there and you look at it because it's a long segment we do, and that wasn't the only topic. Very interesting topic on the homeless lady getting hosed down in San Francisco. So that is the sad saga of Joe Biden, who boots it totally in El Paso down on the border. Then it's a farce in Mexico City with the three amigos. Then he comes back to the documents, and the year's only 12 days long. I'm telling you, and every time I hear he's running again in 24, I go, no, he isn't.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Because this is going to get worse, not just this, but it's going to be worse. after the other, after the other, after the other. Okay. 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 conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers,
Starting point is 00:16:52 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. 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
Starting point is 00:17:32 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. You know, I've told you why, Kate's Law and all of that. But I think he's the worst, the career politician, a swamp guy, makes deals all in the back room. He's just not what we need here. Anyway, do you like approve or disapprove of Mitch McConnell?
Starting point is 00:18:17 29% of the American people approve of him. 64% disapprove. That is the highest number. Okay, the highest number of politicians that disapproved, but they don't like them. Now, Pelosi's number, I think, was higher, but they just did Senate here. Another poll, Gallup, all right? Party affiliation. Are you a conservative or a liberal?
Starting point is 00:18:52 This is interesting. So among all Americans, and this was an 11,000. an adult poll by telephone. Gallup says 36% of the 11,000 say they are conservative, 36% liberal, 26%, 10 points down. However, within the Democratic Party, the people who say they're liberal, not moderate Democrats, are rising. In 1994, 25% of Democrats said they were liberal, now 54. and that's because of the colleges and the high school's indoctrination that liberal is noble
Starting point is 00:19:34 liberal is noble conservative is bad conservative is bad that's why this number is going up f a meltdown okay so yesterday i hope you weren't flying yesterday about 11 000 flights delayed probably more than that is the latest stats we have about 1500 cancellations because of the computer system, notice-to-air missions run by the FAA, crashed. And they put out some statement like it was corrupted by something, and who knows? But here's the interesting part of this story. After they got this system up and running again, after they crashed, and was out for three hours, okay? Canadas went down.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Got a coincidence? Now, I'm not a conspiracy guy. You know that. I think most conspiracies are dishonest and they're stupid. But canadas go down. Okay? And that lasted three hours. I think hours lasted longer than three hours.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I might have misspoken there. That lasted for three hours. So what's going on? If that's a coincidence, that's a pretty heady coincidence. The same day that the American system goes down, and then they get it back up, three hours later, the Canadian system goes down. Okay. I said yesterday, and this is absolutely true, our enemies are watching this. They know our infrastructure is weak here.
Starting point is 00:21:21 And all the money we spend, trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions. infrastructure bill money on this is that part of the infrastructure having safe planes being able to take off knowing that they're what the conditions are is that not part of the infrastructure what do we do one one seven trillion on the infrastructure and you got an arcane computer system that goes down where's the money you see there's no accountability nobody watches all this nobody watches it all right disney um least favorite company So Iger is back, Bob Iger, Cheapik got fired, and Disney's a mess. It's just a mess.
Starting point is 00:22:05 So this is rich. Iger is dropping the lowest price ticket to Disney world, and I guess Disneyland as well, to $104. That's a piece. So a family of four, that's $416 a day to get into the parks. That's the lowest price. And those tickets are available only two months out of the year, July and August, in Orlando, when it's 150 degrees. I don't know what they do in Anaheon. So this is like, I go, oh, yeah, we're going to, look, Disney is an operation that does not care about what it was invented to do.
Starting point is 00:22:53 and that was entertain children. That's why Walt Disney founded the company to entertain children. And now they priced the children out. The working class and poor kids of America can't go. Why? Because they're greedy SOBs. That's why. USC, University of Southern California, good school.
Starting point is 00:23:23 particularly if you want to get into movies and stuff like that. Okay, this is reported by the Daily Caller, but I believe it's true. It has not been refuted. So, USC is removing the word field, F-I-E-L-D, playing field. Field. You can't say it anymore, or you're offensive. And they're replacing it with the Latin word practicum, practicum, P-R-A-E-E-R-A-E. C-T-I-C-C-U-M Practicum. So you have to go, are you going to the practicum to play baseball today?
Starting point is 00:24:03 No. Why are they doing this? Because the word field has ties to anti-black and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Going into the field or field work may have connotations for the descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign. this is beyond insane this is in a totally different realm where we're going to destroy the english language and i don't know there's no why behind this is no black person on earth is going to be offended by the word field i mean you really have to you would have to be so neurotic all right a field is a field no Not at USC.
Starting point is 00:24:55 See, this disqualifies that college now. I can't root for it in sports. I would never send my urchins there. I won't go on the campus. I mean, my alma mater, Maris College in Poughkeepsie, okay, is now woke. I'm out. Boston University, where I got a master's in broadcast journalism, is beyond woke. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Harvard, you know about, okay? So I got nowhere to go. I'm looking for schools that I can support. I found one. Talladega University in Alabama, mostly black school. I give them substantial amount of money to scholarships because it isn't woke. They do a damn good job in educating poor and working people. It's a historically black school, but there are whites there now.
Starting point is 00:26:02 So I'm actually looking around for schools. I'm not going to give you a dime if you're woke and stupid. I'm not. All right. India is going to pass China as the world's most populated country. Why do we care? We should care. So in India, they now have, and I'm not.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I don't know how to keep track of this. One billion, 410 million people. China has 1,450 billion people. So maybe next Thursday, depending on the birth rate, and India passes China. Now, if you look at the map, and I hope you have one, India is a lot smaller country than China. So it's dense, it packed in.
Starting point is 00:26:49 So what is the significance? Why am I telling you? this because it's all about climate change. So the progressive left in this country want to ruin capitalism. That is priority number one. Get rid of capitalism. If you're a progressive, you have to buy into that. The way to do it is to destroy industries like gas, like coal, like natural gas, all of those industries, destroy them, okay, destroy car makers, truck makers that use those things, fossil fuels, right? That's a big step.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Government controls all of this. That's what the progressives want in the name of climate change. We can't spew the stuff into the air. Okay. Number one, that is self-defeating because you destroy the economy, you destroy people's lives. And the progressives, that's why we're in this inflationary spiral. That's why it's happening. And we may go into a recession. That's why. Biden and the progressive move it caused it. Now, China and India, the two biggest populations, they're not going to do anything to stop global
Starting point is 00:28:07 warming. They can't. They got too many people to feed. They're going to pump out as much fossil fuel stuff as they can. They're not going to clean up the environment. They're not going to stop throwing garbage into the Ganges River because they don't have the infrastructure to collect the garbage. The Chinese aren't going to do jack. In fact, the Chinese want this global warming to destroy our economy. That's what they want. That's why they cheer it on. So you've got to plan it where you're destroying the economies of the West, the capitalist economies in the name of global warming, but the two big population centers aren't going to do a thing. there you go john carrie okay smart life if you're going on vacation summer you go on a trip
Starting point is 00:28:59 you got to do it now you got a plan now you got about a two-week window about February 1st you don't have it done by then you're going to pay a lot more so um summer vacations are healthy particularly if you have urchins and you take them someplace they haven't been and I always did that every summer. Always took them in different parts of the country. Show them things. You got to book it now. Number one, drive if you can. Stay out of the airport. That's a killer. And they'll kill you. Believe me, their pricing is insane. So if you can drive, if it's within 12 hours of your home, stay overnight someplace, all right? Do it. Drive. Number two, hotels.
Starting point is 00:29:46 They'll give you a price on a hotel, and then they'll add 40% more on that you don't know about. Gym fees, water fees, whatever it may be. So you need to get the full price because they're killing you, these hotels. If you book ahead, you can go to TripAdvisor or Expedia, one of these things. You can compare, all right? Comparison shop. She's what you have to do. Because if you don't, if you wait until May to book your summer vacation, it's going to cost you 50 to 60% more.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Do the same thing. All right, smart life, get on it, figure it out, talk it over, get a destination or two. You might want to go to, research, drive if you can. This day in history, January 12, 1971, the most controversial, TV program of all time because of the year that was 52 years
Starting point is 00:30:51 ago, January 12th, 1971, debuted on CBS. Go. You're married 22 years today, Daddy, so talk real nice to mom, okay? Listen, little girl, you just go on and mind your own beeswax,
Starting point is 00:31:07 huh? And pull that skate down. Every time you sit down on one of them things the mystery's over. What the hell is it nowadays? Will you tell me, girls with skites up to here, guys with hair down to there? I stopped in a gents room the other day, so help me, there was a guy in there with a ponytail. My heart nearly taint over in me. I thought I was in the wrong toilet.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Why do you fight it? The world's changing. That's right. That's what the Reverend Feltier was saying. You two should have heard him. Of course, Mr. Religion here wasn't seeing eye to eye with the sermon. What sermon? That was socialist propaganda, pure, and simpler. Don't give me that look. You didn't think it was so hot neither. I said it was different, that's all.
Starting point is 00:31:55 But I didn't curse the Reverend from right there in the front of the world. Brilliant. And gutsy. Gutsy. You know, nobody had seen that before on television in America. They did have in Britain. That's where they got the idea. from All in the Family.
Starting point is 00:32:13 They had that kind of edge. I was in, I lived in England in 69, 70, and I saw it. And I went, whoa. And so the TV guys put it over. All the Family was on for nine years, five number one, all kinds of offshoots, but just that clip, it holds up. It holds up now, 52 years later.
Starting point is 00:32:38 All right, Mel, and final thought. We'll be back in a moment. 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 Podcast, Spotify. or wherever you get your podcast. Let's go to the mail.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Philip, spending millions to fix the airline computer system to keep Americans safe. It's what the government is supposed to do with my money, not flush it away on climate change boondoggles and jogging trails in Georgia. Right on. That's a good letter, Philip. Kathleen, I cannot believe the House,
Starting point is 00:33:42 bill to remove $70 billion from the budget was nayed by the Democrats. Are they not thinking of the U.S. citizens or are they foolishly thinking it won't affect taxpayers making less than $400,000? It's about government control, Kathleen. The progressive left Democratic Party wants big government to tell you what you can and can't do, and that goes for money. You get all those IRS agents all over you, okay? That's what they want. William Nelson, Proser Washington, When I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s, we all knew there were poor people, homeless out of work folks, but we didn't see them. Now you see tennis lined up in most large cities throughout the country. My question is, where have all these homeless folks come from?
Starting point is 00:34:27 They've come from your neighborhood, William. They come from everywhere. Most of them are drug addicted. If you are addicted to hard drugs, you can't hold a job. You can't have a house because you can't pay the rent or mortgage it. And so you find yourself destitute and you go where other drug addicts go. You conjure together. And so they've decided to go to San Francisco where they're paid $1,000 a month by the city.
Starting point is 00:34:54 They spend it on heroin and fent and all, whatever, meth. And then more and more and more and more come. That's what happens. George Aluna, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. For Bobbard and Gets, who stood alone on principle, you should under understand that, O'Reilly. If they truly believe that Kevin McCarthy should not be Speaker, they shouldn't vote for him. You may be right when you say they are rock stars among a very small sliver Americans, but it is that sliver that will bring us back to sanity. Well, George, look,
Starting point is 00:35:27 I'm all for voting your conscience, but there comes a point whether you destroy the party that you're part of or not, and that point was reached by Beaubert and Gates. And as far as sliver to bring us back to sanity, only if you persuade the majority. And believe me, Gates and Bobert are not persuading the majority of Americans. They have lost almost all credibility. Sharon Wright, COCA, Florida, since I don't trust information coming from the net, can you give us a history lesson on our immigration laws? I don't have real time for that, but I understand your dilemma. So in the early part of America's development, we needed all the immigrants we could get. All right, because of the westward expansion, and there was no, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:16 you got here, you're here, no paperwork. Then in the 19th century, when my people came over from Ireland, all right, my mother's side came over three ships after the Mayflower. That's how early they got, but there's no paper, but you signed a paper, okay, and you were here, but that was it. Then in the 19th century and the 20th century, structures started to be put into place. But only after, all right, the government expanded, income tax was voted in, the government got bigger. And then it had to know who was here. The modern day immigration changed with Ronald Reagan, who gave everybody amnesty in the tradeoff that we were going to secure the border. Well, everybody got amnesty in the 80s, all the foreign nationals, but no border security.
Starting point is 00:37:10 It was Reagan's fault. Reagan should have followed through on that. And now we have chaos. So there's your history lesson. Steve Prest, Middleburg Heights, Ohio. My wife and I are traveling on a long plan 30th anniversary to Hawaii, and we got hammered by the collapse of the computer. You've missed our first day and maybe more. lines for airline customer service are miles long I know you can't drive to
Starting point is 00:37:37 Hawaii and Hawaii is a beautiful place to go I love Hawaii but if you can drive drive Ruth I love the smart life tips on nutrition Chris I have been following your no sugar suggested for several months even through the Christmas holidays I feel much better okay Greg Nunley Louisville Kentucky I have followed you for years O'Reilly Thank you for your honest commentary. It is not found elsewhere. That's what we do here. We give you stuff. You'll find nowhere else. Okay. So I hope you go to the Bill O'Reilly store. It helps us out. You know, we have to pay our people and we pay them well. And pick up some no-spin mugs. Stand up for your country mugs. Pick up, please. My still best-selling book, Killing the Legends,
Starting point is 00:38:25 number 13 last Sunday on the New York Times. So it's amazing. It really is. You love the book. Pick it up. me or concierge member on bill o'reilly dot com get that book or any of my other tomes free free free free want to write to me bill at bill o'reilly dot com bill at bill o'reilly dot com word of the day don't be a moon calf m o n c a l f moon calf back with a final thought on jack nicholson in a moment okay so here's a final thought of the day there's a tabloid called the Daily Mail the worst just the lowest can't even I don't have enough adjectives okay so it writes a piece on Jack Nicholson who's 85 years old and it says that he's losing it and his life is terrible on and on and on and on it's disgusting all right so Nicholson as you know has won three Oscars for Best Actor
Starting point is 00:39:29 He's probably one of the top five actors of all time, American actors of all time. So I know this article was bull because I visited Jack Nicholson a few months ago. And I was at his house. And I had a long conversation with him. And he follows the no spin news very closely. And he had all kinds of very intelligent questions for me. And I've been friends with him for decades. And he is 85.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Okay, but he's more intellectually nimble than the president of the United States. I'll tell you that. So when I see this kind of stuff, you know, it's really horrible because people believe it. But I thought for Jack's sake, I'd set the record straight. I hope he doesn't mind. But he's a good guy, smart guy. And every time I talk to him, I learn. a tremendous amount, which is really my litmus test, you know, for people. I want to learn,
Starting point is 00:40:35 I want to, what they've experienced. So anyway, Jack Nicholson, hang tough out there in Los Angeles. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. Sunday column at noon. We'll see you again on Monday.
