Hey, Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, March 10th, 2021, stand up for your country. Lead story again today is President Biden. Now, it's on the Hannity radio program today, and we have it posted on Bill O'Reilly.com, should you want to listen. And I explained to on how I am covering President Biden. And I'm not doing it in any kind of ideological way because I don't think that serves you, my audience. I'm doing it in a fact-based, stair-step way. And I am concerned.

I am concerned about Mr. Biden. I'm concerned about him personally, and I'm concerned about him being in charge of this country. and has nothing whatsoever to do with policies, all right? It has to do with him. So that's the lead story tonight. So it's been 50 days since Joe Biden has assumed office, 50 days. And in that time, he has not talked to the press.

He has not taken any questions. He simply hasn't done anything other than signed stuff that's been placed in front of him. Now, actually, CNN did this analysis. It's pretty startling because, CNN is in business to protect Joe Biden, as is NBC News. The two media organizations that want to protect him on television are CNN and NBC News, and the two media organizations of print are the Washington Post and New York Times. They're all invested in protecting Joe Biden because they were so anti-Trump and so pro-Biden to get him elected.

Now, CNN says that in 100 years, all the presidents, in 100 years, had a press conference within 33 days of assuming office. All of them, not Biden. So the logical question would be, why not? It's not that you're too busy. You're not doing anything. As we reported yesterday on his schedule for Tuesday was one thing. To visit a hardware store in Washington, D.C., to talk about how COVID affected the store. he was two hours late for that meeting that's it today wednesday he's got one thing on his calendar again an afternoon meeting with the CEOs of murk and johnson and johnson to talk about the covid vaccine that's it nothing else now he has his usual briefings where guys and gals come into the oval office and say mr president here's what we know here's what happened overnight all he has to do is

sit there in a chair, maybe takes notes, maybe he doesn't, sips on a little beverage, that's it. So it's not like President Biden is busy. He's not. He's not busy. He's not doing anything. Okay, so why can't he have the calls with the press? Why can't he invite a couple of people in, like me? Yeah. And we have a little chat about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, how he's seeing a country these days. Well, he can't do that. Can't do it because his staff has no confidence that he could answer any questions. That's exactly what's happening. Is his staff upset by this? No. Why would they be? They're running the country, not him. Now, we've gone through Susan Rice, Barack and Michelle Obama. We've gone through all that. Okay, so you should be up to

speed on that. Now, Thursday night, Joe Biden's going to give a speech about 15 minutes, maybe a little bit longer. One year anniversary of the COVID shutdown. He's going to say, Americans are the greatest people where we've turned a corner thanks to my administration. We did it, that boom, but I don't know if he's going to give the Trump administration credit for the vaccine or not. It doesn't really matter. He may just to deflect criticism from that, but he's going to read the prompter. I'm going to read it. It's going to be big, big words. He's going to speak fairly slowly, and he's not going to take any questions, and that's what he's going to do tomorrow night. Now, I'll watch it so you don't have to. I'll tweet during the speech. That's Thursday

night. Now, the big thing that Joe Biden should be explaining to the country is what the deuce is happening on the border. Do you realize there are now 11,300 foreign national minors children in the custody of the U.S. government, 11,300? I mean, that's just stunning, stunning. So these kids are here because the cartels in Mexico are smuggling them in with the arrangement the children will be able to bring their fathers and mothers and grandmothers and grandfas and brothers and sisters in after them. And they will. according to the Joe Biden open immigration plan. See, it's a mistake to say it's an open border.

It is, in essence, but it's open immigration. That's what's happening. If you come in here on a visa and overstay, there's nobody going to track you down. In fact, ICE arrests in February down 60% from January. So you remember that you're an organization. day was in January. 60%. Because President Biden has said to, or his advisors have said to the Homeland Security people, don't arrest anybody. No, it's not what we want to do. Don't do that. And they're not. 60% in 30 days. And the unintended consequence of that, or maybe the intended

consequence, said hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals will stream into this country before June. Hundreds of thousands. When you have 11,300 unintended minors, you know that's no accident. It's not these kids saying, hey, I want to come to America, so I'm going to walk 200 miles or 500 miles to get there. They're not doing it. It's the pipeline. Okay, so I'm a simple man. You all know that. And my question to Joe Biden is very, very simple. Mr. Biden, your immigration policy has led to hundreds of thousands of people coming here, including 11,300 minors. Who does that help? Is there one person in the country or on the planet? Who does it help? Now, there is one group helped by the Biden, immigration. policy. One, the Mexican drug cartels. They're making a ton of money because they control

who comes to the border. And you've got to pay them. If you don't pay them, they kill you. They're making millions of dollars. Okay? Now, do you think Joe Biden knows that? I don't. I'm not giving them a pass, by the way. I just don't think that that man has any clue about what this immigration policy is going to lead to and has already led to. I don't think he knows a stat that there's 11,300 unattended kids here from other countries. I don't think he knows that. I could be wrong. Maybe I am.

But if you ask his spokesperson about all this, here's what you get. Roll it. And on immigration, you said you wanted to stay away from labels. I know the DHS secretary has not wanted to call it a crisis, but instead referred to as a challenge. But right now, since it is 3,200 unaccompanied migrant children, according to documents from Monday, that's higher than the peak of the 2019 border crisis when it was around 2,600 then? Well, first, one of the reasons is because we have a different policy than the last administration. We're not turning kids away at the border, unaccompanied children.

We're also, of course, not ripping them from the arms of their parents. And so we know, and we knew, we know there is going to be an increased number of kids coming across the border. There are several steps, as we've talked about a little bit, that we're working to address that. Ripping the kids from the arms of their parents. Okay, so if you knew it, Ms. Saki, why didn't you have a plan in place to deal with it? Why? Now, the stats, the CNN reporter's site are just for a day, thousands of kids in a day. All right.

The overall stats, as I said, are more than 11,000. But, no, no, we're working on it. You don't put a policy in place if you don't know what to do after the policy is launched. That's called incompetence. Okay. all right so the media now has to cover the story as i told you earlier this week when they were ignoring the story they have to cover it because it's getting so big so last night um CNN spell spent 12 minutes and five hours 12 minutes on the story in five hours MSNBC didn't cover it at

all so NBC news basically saying to the American people we're not a news or organization anymore. This is Comcast, okay? We're just not. It's not going to cover any story that's going to make anybody that we like look bad. Fox News 20 minutes they spent on it. The networks David Muir finally figured it out, two minutes 12 seconds on the nightly news last night, NBC, Lesterholt, a minute 36. They didn't cover it on Monday night. Neither of them. CBS did cover it on Monday, they didn't cover it last night, which is all right. I mean, they did a package on Monday. You don't want to be repetitive. All right, so let me just sum this elite story up. I'm worried about Joe Biden. I'm worried about him personally. I don't think he is

functioning in the job the way he shouldn't. I'm worried absolutely for the country and the world because the most powerful man in the world seems to me to be befuddled at best and in cognitive decline at worst. COVID bill. So it passes, everybody knew was going to pass. Now, one Republican senator or congressperson, not one, voted for the bill. So it's about $2 trillion. All right. And a lot of people are going to get checks. And that's not a bad thing that people get checks. A lot of people desperate got hurt by COVID. They need the money. All right. But in this bill, it's just crazy. Now, I'm just going to, for you, aficionados of politics, one Democratic congressperson, Jared Golden of Maine, voted against it because Mainers, they understand money and they don't want a $30 trillion debt. And that's why he did it.

And then Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska, he didn't vote because he was attending a funeral of his father-in-law. But he said he opposed it. So no Republican support in Congress at all. So anyone making over 80,000, you're not going to get anything. And that's 160,000 for a couple. All right, you're not going to get the $1,400 check because you're making too much money. Otherwise, you will get money. And there was a misreporting about illegal aliens.

They will not get money. But immigrants will. I mean, if you're here on a green card, you'll get money, but not illegal aliens. A check should go out this month, and $5 billion is included in this COVID bill to pay off loans of African-American farmers, but not white farmers. This is equity. This is the equity thing we talked about, okay? So, okay, five billion for farmers of course. color, they call them. States get $200 billion. So New York, where I am right now,

catastrophe, COVID catastrophe here. I think they're going to get $15 billion from the feds, from everybody. Not enough for Cuomo. He still wants to raise taxes. Excellent. That'll just drive more people out of the state. We'll go deeper in debt. It's just unbelievable. Unemployment benefits extended through September 6, 300 bucks a week. If you're not working, get 300 bucks a week in addition to the COVID stimulus check. And there's all kinds of pork everywhere in it. There is nutrition programs. There are welfare programs. 880 million set aside for just entitlement programs, nothing to do with COVID. So this was an income redistribution bill that adds to trillion dollars to the debt, not to the deficit. We don't have the money to pay two trillion

dollars for COVID. There's no money. You add up all the tax receipts for 2021. It's not going to cover any of this. This goes right into the debt category. Now, it's hard to oppose this because even though no Republican supported it, 70% of America said, yeah, we need the money. 70%. And that was one of the things that sunk Donald Trump because McConnell wouldn't support it. He wanted $800 instead of 16 going out. And Trump wanted the full boot. He wanted everybody to get the money they're going to get. I don't think Trump would have signed off on all the pork, but he wanted that. But anyway, the Pew study, it's a reliable poll. 70% support the bill, the COVID bill, 28% don't. And that goes across party lines, obviously. Okay, everybody up to speed on that.

So we got Biden. We got the COVID bill done. Let's go to the conservative media. And we have a good guest on this coming up. So Russian Limbaugh died on February 17th. Okay. You did three hours of radio every day. That's 15 hours a week. 600 radio stations, estimated obvious, you know, people coming in and out, 25 million a week. So this was, a huge conservative media canon. Now, Mr. Limbaugh's program is still running with clips of him. He doesn't have a replacement. There's nobody who can replace Rush Limbaugh and even come close to the ratings that he had, and that's just reality. The other conservative media is Fox News. Now, they're down February to February, 30%. That's a huge hit.

30% of Fox viewers have left in a year. Newsmax, which was benefiting because they bought into the fraudulent election thing, they're down 50% in one month now that Biden is president. Okay. So the two primary TV conservative media declining, along with the radio media declining. So now, traditional conservative people always heavily outnumbered. All three networks are liberal, CNN, MSNBC, liberal, all the newspapers, major dailies are liberal, all of them. So for the New York Post, that's a tabloid, but the mainstream newspapers. So heavily outnumbered to begin with, now you see a decline, a market decline, the conservative media. One footnote. The liberal media is also declining. CNN and MSNBC's ratings are catastrophic the last month. They've dropped so far from what they had during the

insurrection, during the inauguration. I mean, they're getting hammered because they don't have any talent. It's all we hate Trump. Now what are they going to do? We love Biden. All right. Go ahead. Huffington Post, perhaps the most vicious of all the social news organizations. They just laid off 50 people. They're hemorrhaging money. They lost $20 million last year. Oh, my God. And now, I'm happy.

That's good because they're the worst. And they're not alone. They're all losing money, too. So it's not like the left media is rising. It isn't. They're all going. down. But because, I'll reiterate this point, conservatives are so heavily outnumbered in the media, the message now is less than it used to be. So let's bring in Chris Ruby. She is the head of the

Ruby Media Group. She's a CEO. That is a strategic public relations, social media and management agency. Ms. Ruby and I attended the same school at Boston University, obviously not at the same time. I was there during the Daniel Boone years, the John Adams years, and Mr. He is a little more contemporized. So my analysis of the conservative media, you think I'm making any mistakes? I don't see that you're making a mistake, Bill. I think the challenge that we have is really the fragmentation of the traditional cable news ecosystem in favor of the traditional cable news ecosystem in favor of a much more segmented social media, digital media ecosystem. And so when we look at a Newsmax or OAN or Fox News and these networks that are certainly

trying to compete with Fox News in a way that at one time they never could, I almost don't even know if it matters how much money they pour into these competitive networks if they will have trouble reaching that millennial 25 to 35 demo that is clearly going to be. more active on social media platforms, like, for example, the new platform Clubhouse. We saw the rise of podcasting. Now we're seeing the rise of voice chat-based social media. And to give you an example there, I created the Republicans and Conservatives Room or Club on Clubhouse. That has over 7,100 followers. As soon as Clubhouse gave people the ability to create their own clubs on Friday night, There are now at least 12 more clubs and people created women conservatives, black conservatives,

Jewish conservatives, Christian conservatives. So it is not enough to just say a blanket statement of conservatives and Republicans. You need to segment that down even further. And how does that apply to cable news? Well, it applies to cable news in terms of a threat in a very real way. People want to watch cable news and see figures that reflect who they are and their values. cable news traditionally has always casted a much larger and wider net. Unless cable news is going to take a playbook from what social media channels are doing and what people want,

they simply can't compete in the same way. And they will be seen as a dinosaur by the people and the demo that they are trying so hard to attract. All right, but here's the big picture. You can do chat rooms and all your platforms and social media all day long. That's not going to move public opinion. It's a niche situation. So my news agency, Bill O'Reilly.com, we reach millions of people because we've been in business now for four years and built up a radio television network scheme that people are aware of what

we do, but it's nothing like I had on the Fox News Channel, the O'Reilly Factor, where I could basically shape public opinion. I could do that. Social media can't do that, never will be able to do that. So the danger for the republic, for the country, Chris, is that a story like Hunter Biden can be completely blacked out now, and people won't even know it, won't even hear about it unless they're in a certain chat room at a certain time. And so therefore, what happens in the country can be controlled by politicians, by the

entertainment industry, by whatever. And now with the censorship that we're seeing in Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley, all right? You really run it into a wall here. I agree with you. People will still have a voice. They'll be able to say what they want to say on social media and all of that. But as far as moving the conversation and the dialogue to a way where public opinion is altered, I see that vanishing. I mean, well, of course, we're seeing that, I mean, Section 230 is obviously a big factor there, right? What is Biden's plan with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act?

I haven't heard him talk about that recently. It doesn't have a plan. I mean, but this goes to, we have a president of the United States. I firmly believe this, who simply isn't running the country. Now, should you have known about that before the election? Yes. But that's not what it was all about. It was all about Donald Trump, for or against.

Because the media would never tell you, honestly, any of the media that Joe Biden really wasn't up to the job. And now, as going forward, you lose a limbaugh. Fox, I don't know whether they can turn it around. I mean, their programming is not as nearly as innovative as it was, and it's not exciting. I don't know whether they can. They're trying, but I don't know if they can. What is the new American dream when it comes to journalism? So much of this comes back to that. I believe that at least the new American dream for millennials is that when they look and they say, I want to be a journalist, they're not saying that they want to be a Tucker and an anchor on primetime cable news.

The American dream for them, for today's youth, is that they want to be Ben Shapiro. They don't see cable news. Look, that's fine. You want to be Ben Shapiro? Go ahead be Ben Shapiro. All right, if you can talk that fast. But if the American public can't get information. Chris. If it's a blackout of information, all right, then we're going down the drain if that

happens. I'll give you the last word. Completely agree with that. And we also have sitting members of Congress who are actively trying to cancel Fox News, Newsmax, N-O-A-N, and pass that through, which is also, you know, borderline insane. Yeah, that's not going to happen. It's the companies themselves that are happy rise up and put on program that attracts, you know, the people that it used to attract. Chris, thanks very much. We appreciate it. 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. Get precious

Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-26-5-7576, or text bill to 998899. How about the 10 best states in America? How about those? You know what they are? I didn't. All right, so the U.S. News and World Report of Bankrupt Magazine does this every year. Annual ranking of all 50 states, the 10 best based on health care, education, economy, infrastructure, opportunity, fiscal stability, crime, and corrections, natural environment. Okay, ready? All right, here are the 10 best. The best state in the union is Washington State, according to U.S. News and World Report.

What you don't know about Washington State is it's two states. It's the eastern part, which is traditional and runs very well, and people have a very high quality of life. And then western part, which is Seattle and Olympia and the peninsula up there, which is absolute chaos. But you can live well in Washington State if you can take the rain. The second one is Minnesota. Again, their major city, Minneapolis, is burnt down. You can live well in Minnesota if you can take the cold. It is freezing there.

Okay? Utah third, I've been to Utah, but I don't know much about the infrastructure there. It is a rural state primarily. Salt Lake City is not a major hub. Got a basketball team, but you move to Utah. You've got to like the outdoors. same thing in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a rural state. I know New Hampshire very well, very nice place to live, but it's cold. Idaho, same situation. Outdoor state, easy to live there,

traditional state. Then Nebraska. Nebraska is a divided state, but there's opportunity in Nebraska. You can make money in Nebraska, all right? It's got a good lifestyle. Virginia going deep blue now in Virginia. Deep blue. I like Virginia. Commonwealth has got a lot. I've got the mountains, got the ocean, although not beaches in the tidewater area. Wisconsin, again, Wisconsin is a two states, traditional rural, very far left, urban. Massachusetts, listen, my home was in Massachusetts. I loved it there. I loved it there. But that's Elizabeth Warren. Okay, so the politics are crazy. Massachusetts got everything. And Florida is 10.

Florida is on their ascent. But you've got to take the heat. You know, five months of the year, it's hot. It never cools down. So those are the 10. Tomorrow we'll give you the 10 worst dates, according to U.S. News and World Report. So Disney, I want to go back to this. We've reported it before, but it's so jarring because everybody knows these vehicles.

So Disney is putting out a con. You've got to know this. Now, Disney is a real troubled company. I mean, it really is if you examine it. So they say that two of their main properties, Dumbo, the elephant, and Peter Pan, beloved by kids everywhere in the world, can no longer be accessed by children under seven because of the canceled culture. Now, my question at Disney is what kid under seven accesses anything? See, if you use an adult account and how Disney would know, I don't know, you can access Dumbo and Peter Pan.

You have to pay them, though Disney's not cutting, because the seven-year-old's not paying them. So this is a con. But the Disney noble people, the executives, this is Iger and all these people. They wanted to get it out to the... We know there was racism and, you know, questionable things in our product. Now, there was racism in Dumbo. There was. One of the main characters is Jim Crow.

Come on. My thing is, edit it out. Okay? If you make movies in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, you're going to have stuff like this. Snip it. But no, no, they want a virtue signal. Now, Peter Pan, apparently the problem with Peter Pan is that it portrays Native Americans in a stereotypical manner.

That's Tiger Lily. I always thought Tiger Lily was a good role model for girls. She was Peter Pan's ally against the evil Captain Hook, who was a white guy. I like Tiger Lily. what but no no no because tiger lily did indian things that's very typical so if you're seven you can't order up peter pan but your dad and mom can and pay to ten bucks or whatever they want oh all right here's the story of the day ready for the story of the day okay so peers morgan quits his show in great britain he's co-hosting a morning show because he slammed megan

and people didn't like it or what I don't even know Pierce Morgan. I mean, I think I met him once, but I don't even remember. Anyway, he's gone. Gone for he walks off his show and they don't want him back and he's gone. So the view, of course, talks about this and my name comes up. Roll it. Before I even start that, I want to clear up that you and on I walked off the set because Bill O'Reilly said something extraordinarily bigoted,

and we did not want to sit there with him. The situation is completely different here, so let's just be clear. I was making a joke. Sorry, my bad. No, no, it wasn't that. I just want to make sure everybody understands. Everybody understands that you're a radical loon. That's what everybody understands.

I didn't make any bigoted statement. I didn't do anything like that. All right, this was in the year 2010, an imam in New York City wanted to build a mosque on the side of the Twin Towers, okay? I said, quite rationally and correctly, that was inappropriate. All right? I said, you don't build a Benny Hanna at Pearl Harbor. It's not the right thing to do. But if the imam wants to build a mosque two blocks away, I will have.

help the imam build the mosque but not on the site of the attack on 9-11 so i went on the view and here's what happened go and let me break this to you 70 percent of americans don't want that moss down there so don't give me the rebuild you want to bet on that you want to bet on that you want a bit i'll show you that poll in a minute all i'm saying is not americans don't want it down But why is that? But why aren't we saying... Because it's inappropriate. Why is it inappropriate with 70 families died?

Muslims killed us on 9-11. No! No! Oh my God! That is... Oh my God. Is that what you're saying? Excuse me.

What religion were they in? What religion was Mr. McVey? Mr. McVey was an extremist as well. I'm telling you, 70% of the Christians. You know, I don't want to sit here. I don't want to sit here. Go. Go.

You're outraged about Muslims killed us in 9-11. Okay, and I'm Pierce Morgan, I think, was back in the green room. No, it's a joke. All right, so my thesis was that Muslims, terrorists, the jihadists, the al-Qaeda's, all practitioners of Islam, killed 3,000 Americans. is on 9-11. Is that not true historically? And that's why it's inappropriate to build a mosque on the site of the Twin Towers. Just as Japan attacked Pearl Harbor killing hundreds of U.S. naval personnel and civilians. And that's why you don't build a Japanese restaurant there.

Is this crazy stuff? All right. Now, that was way before the canceled culture was even thought. of. But the fact that yesterday, Ms. Behar, who remains in my prayers, said that I made an extraordinarily bigoted statement. My statement was absolutely 100% true. But because she's a loon, she can believe what she wants to believe, and walk off. And you know, that was the greatest thing that she walked off. I love that, because I got more air time and I have to deal with her. Okay. I got some mail and a good final thought. Back in a moment. 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, 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. All right, let's get to the mail. We got William Barabo, Austin, Kentucky. Bill, with your outstanding staff, can you tell me who's really running the country Mr. Biden is an empty suit. We've gone over this now, William.

Okay? It is remnants of the O'Biden administration, Susan Rice. Biden's top domestic advisor is the most powerful person in the country right now. Sabah Jebremskill. I hope I'm saying your last name right, Sabah, San Diego. Bill O'Reilly, I heard what you had to say about Cornell University's policy about COVID. As a black woman, I found a whole thing upsetting. COVID doesn't care if you're black or white, rich, or poor.

It's a contagious disease. It's very irresponsible of Cornell to exempt black students from being vaccinated. Thank you, Sabah. Thank you very much. I appreciate you writing to me and telling me your opinion. Derek Afani, Victoria, Australia. After living in South Africa during the 50s, 60s, and 70s, if I have one word for what Cornell University is practicing, apartheid.

Rodney Cundi, Calgary, Canada. I think the vast majority of Americans do not ascribe to the politically correct canceled culture mob. Time for the majority to take a page from the iconic movie Network, stand up and shout I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. But the problem here in America now, and I don't know if it's that way in Canada, is if you stand up against the mob, the mob comes after you.

And a lot of people are frightened about that. That is the problem. Now, I agree with you. We the people are going to have to stand up to this. Then I have to have courage. Sharon Goodberry, Pallas Verdeus Peninsula, California. I'm a Californian, and not just Republicans are signing the recall petitions against Newsom. Many Democrats are just as upset. Okay, I believe that.

Steve, if anyone thinks California will turn to a red state, I would like to sell them some stuff. They should be smoking or something like that. I don't think California is going to turn red, but I think the hold of the progressives is declining in the golden state, and I hope it is. Sebastian Manjulo, Coral Springs, Florida. Bill, appreciate your honest news coverage. This is my only source of news. I'm a singer, songwriter, based in Coral Springs, Florida, and I'm planning to move to Los Angeles. Is this a good time to make that move?

Now, Sebastian, usually this kind of a request and a question comes under the concierge membership. So you have direct access, and you can ask me these kinds of questions about your career and what you should or should not do and what you should expect. I'm doing this because, number one, I think you're a good guy and I want to give you some advice. And number two, I want people to know that concierge membership contains that. So usually I won't do this. But if you're going to move to Los Angeles, you will have more opportunity in the music industry there. There's no doubt about that. But you will also be barraged with political, correct, cancel culture stuff.

And law enforcement in Los Angeles County is completely breaking down. And if you don't have a lot of money to buy a nice place, you're going to be in neighborhoods. that are dicey. And if you do hit it big, they're going to take in taxes an incredible amount of money, and you're going to be paying $4 for a gallon of gasoline. So you've got to weigh it. There's opportunity, but boy, there's a lot of downside in California right now. Carol Seffier, Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm a new member of Bill O'Reilly.com. I'm a senior woman. The more I hear about the crisis on the southern border, I'm getting frightened. My neighbors tell me that the criminal element, illegal immigrants are going to hit my neighborhood. I don't think so. If you're in a

secure neighborhood in Las Vegas, you're not going to be affected directly by the mass of immigration. I mean, those people, 95% of them are not criminals. They're good people. All they want to do is have a better life. Five percent are hardcore and they'll hurt you. There's no doubt about it. But I don't think crime is, you know, if you have a secure place to live, you'll be okay. Ryan, Bill, you ask an interest question when you said, why are you wasting your time watching cable news? Good point. Donald Trump's mistake was the same thing and he let the media get under his skin. Look, there are some good programs on the Fox News Channel, on Newsmax. There are. And you can get guests on all of them

that are worth listening to. But boy, it's declined, in my opinion, pretty drastically. Senander, Milburn, Florida. Bill, your O'Reilly Update, March 9, 2021, that was yesterday, was perfect in tone and content. You brought to the attention of radio listeners, the absurdity of what the left is doing, and how it has all happened before historically. Your objective and neutral tone delivered almost deadpan made the absurdity all the more poignant. You're on to something here. Our O'Reilly update now heard on 300 radio stations across the country. We appreciate you making those comments, Nathan. We do post our radio stuff on Bill O'Reilly.com every night. And, you know, it's a Paul Harvey 15-minute broadcast. We do two minutes in the morning as well.

Okay, so pre-order killing the mob, which is building steam right now. It'll be out May 4th. in Father's Day, although I don't know if mom is interested in a mob. Are you mom's interested in a mob? Tell me. It's a great book. You're really going to like killing the mob. And if you order, pre-order from Bill O'Reilly.com, give you 50% off killing crazy horse. Word of the day, do not be a barber monger, B-A-R, M-O-N-G-E-R. It's straightforward. Back with the final thought in a moment. Okay, my final thought today is about entitlement, people on this planet who believe that they are special. Now, I was brought up in the 50s and 60s when nobody believed that because we're coming off the Great Depression in the 30s, World War II in the 40s, life was hard,

people were grateful for the little they had. My parents were grateful for the little they had out in Levittown, New York. But now we have people wanting all of this stuff, give me, give me, give me, give me, all right, give me. And Megan Markle looked a little entitled, did she not? In that interview, a little entitled. So this morning, you know, breakfast is a little chaotic in the O'Reilly house. And one of the urchins, I go, I got some toast and fruit for you. So the urchin looks up and goes, you feed me like a prisoner in a penitentiary. I said, what is fresh fruit?

All right? There's toast. There's exotic jam. If you want something, you want baguette, go cook them. But no, no, no. You feed me like a prisoner. It's busy here in the morning. So anyway, I'll have a few laughs.

I didn't get mad. I made fun of the urchin. He got it. He got it. I said, you know what? A little self-reliance goes a long way here. If you have an entitled point of view, and we all know people who do.

If you think you are owed something by life, by the royal family, by me at breakfast time, you think that you're going to be disappointed. See you tomorrow.
