Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Thursday, April 13th, 2003, stand up for your country. Busy News Day. And some of the news is very weird. I don't use that word much, but it is. And I'm going to explain it to you. and we begin with Hunter Biden being in Ireland with his father, President Joe Biden. And we explained this yesterday.

It was pretty shocking to see Hunter Biden under serious investigation get off Air Force One and accompany his father around the country, Ireland, actually two countries there, for the week. And at first, I thought, boy, oh boy, is this in your face to the American public? You know, here we have a guy who's got serious problems, Hunter Biden, and he's taking a vacation at taxpayer Spence because his father wanted him over there. But then it occurred to me that Hunter Biden is there for a very serious reason, because Jill Biden, the first lady, is not there. And what is Jill Biden's job?

To be at Joe Biden's side every second and to actually tell him where to go and what to do. The President of the United States needs a handler to tell him to do that. And that's why Hunter Biden is there. I'm going to prove it to you in a moment. So this is so strange, this trip to Ireland, and is so strange. First of all, last night, the president of the United States gives remarks to the Irish. Roll the tape. The closing comment I make, you see this tie I have with a shamrock on it?

This was given to me by one of these guys right here. It was a hell of a rugby player, and they beat the hell of the black and tans. Oh, God, I remember. But it was when you, or it's a soldier field, wasn't it? Chicago. Chicago. Okay. So black and tans, no. What Mr. Biden meant was all blacks. Okay, that is the rugby team from New Zealand. And there was a game in 2016, all right, where the Irish team beat the all blacks. So Mr. Biden says black and tans, who were the black and tans? They were Catholic police officers during the troubles who signed on. with the protestant constable they call them constables over there okay and they were considered traders by the r ira those are the black and tans so joe biden doesn't know he's there and where is soldier field in chicago oh yeah yeah now this may seem like it's small ball to you all right but it's not all of our enemies are watching this all of them

So then he won't hold a press conference, won't answer anybody's questions from the media, but he will talk to the kids, President Biden. Go. My dog is doing well. His name is commander. What's your dog is now? He'll be a good. All right. Anyway, guys.

You're supposed to do the rope way, Dad. I'm supposed to do a rope line? All right. There he is. Hunter Biden is supposed to do the rope line, dad, the rope line. That's why he's there. This is tragic. All right. So, she in China, Putin, Iranian mullers, they're watching this. You don't think they're going to test America in the next year? Because they don't know whether Biden's going to be around for four or more after this. I doubt it. Things are going to unfold. And they're going to test us. They've already shot down or destroyed a drone over the Black Sea. The president said nothing. The balloon, the Chinese balloon and another embarrassment for the USA. McCrone goes to China and says to Xi, I don't worry about us. We're not going to stick up for Taiwan. McCrone never would have done that under Trump or even Obama. Never in a million years would he have done that. That's an insult to us. us. They're our ally, France. If you want to go take Taiwan, France and Europe, we're not going

to get it. It's incredible. And Biden says nothing. You don't know anything. And we have two Americans being held hostage in Russia right now. You've got the Wall Street Journal reporter and the former Marine who was charged with spying or some stupid thing. What's Biden doing about that? nothing. Would it take almost a year for Brittany Griner to be pulled out of there? And Putin is whatever Putin wants to do, he does.

I mean, it's just why, and I'm not the kind of guy that just throws out criticism. If I'm president and there, they kidnap two American citizens, or three if you count Ms. Griner, I basically say to Putin, you've got a week to think up a way to get them out

of there, okay? And if you don't, no more commercial flights from the United States to Moscow. None. We don't let anybody fly out of here to you, and we're not going to accept any Russian flights, but you're going to be totally cut off commercially from the United States.

And you can pack up your embassy too in Washington. All right? You've got to tell these people there are consequences for their behavior. Now, this was the topic yesterday on the Hannity radio program. We posted the whole thing as we always do on Bill O'Reilly.com.

I hope you check in with us every day. You have so much good stuff on Bill O'Reilly.com. You don't have to be a member. I mean, we'll talk about that later. You can just access a lot of this stuff for free. I'm Bill O'Reilly.com. Anyway, I'm on a Hannity radio program, and here's how it goes. Roll it.

There's been no consequences, Bill. Bill, if I punched you in the face, you'd at least try to punch me back, right? No, I kick you in the groin. You wouldn't get there. Okay. But I try. And you try, exactly. You do something.

You fight back. You wouldn't just take it. Yeah. So, there's no downside for China to saber-rattle. But there is a downside if they do the Taiwan thing, a big downside, because their economy will ground to a halt. And believe me, they know what's going on with Putin. They know this isn't working out real well for him.

So I'm not convinced they're at the stage where they're going to launch any kind of offensive action against Taiwan. But here's another point I want to make. people know about the bud trans controversy, the bud light trans controversy, than know about the Chinese threat. And that's true, okay, because the media in America does not report to you on this threat, this growing threat. When you have three sworn enemies to America, again, Putin, she, and the mullahs in Iran,

and they know that the president is weak. And it's, you know, I say to people, I don't really know anyone at this point in my personal life who sticks up for Joe Biden. Certainly they don't around me. And it's not that I hate Biden. I don't, I was on W.A.B.C. this morning with Sid Rosenberg, and I'll play a clip of that later as to do with New York City. But I said to Sid, I don't hate Biden. I mean, I'm not viscerally trying to hurt him. Sid hates him. All right. Now, to me, he is the second worst president. I've said this. I don't want to be repetitive and boring next to James Buchanan. If you do any research, you will see that James Buchanan led this country into the civil war. You don't get worse than that. You can't. Unless there's a nuclear war or something that Biden leads us into, then he would obviously become the worst. But he's the second worst now because he doesn't try to solve any. problems. All right. The board is as bad as it's been. 27 months. Violent crime getting worse.

All right. Gas prices going up again. Economy, very, very shaky. Layoffs in the high-tech industry all over the place. What's he doing? He's over there in Ireland doing what? Doing what? Okay, it's a vacation. So, and I don't begrudge him the vacation if he would come back and do something, but he doesn't do anything. Every day we report to you his schedule. And three out of five days, he's got nothing on his schedule. I mean, this is a man who is incapable of doing the job. Look, in your life, you know people who are just incapable of doing jobs that can't do them.

That's where we are. So the people who want to reelect Joe Biden or think he's doing a good job, they're either flat out moronic or their agenda is ideology above all because the left wing has Biden in their pocket and I want the left wing government. I'm going to support Biden. There's only two reasons. So I don't know anybody in my personal life sticks up for Biden. Hey, hey, Trump, some of them. And it's always justifying to vote for Biden by saying, well, Trump's worse. Okay. Whatever you want to think about that, you can think. I'm not going to try to persuade anybody about Donald Trump. He's there. You see him. You make your own call on him. But I will say that if you look at policy, there's no comparison. There's no comparison between what Trump did and what Biden is doing. Okay. 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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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, lawmakers, 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. So Biden will come back tomorrow, then it'll go right to Delaware, and I can almost guarantee you on Monday you will not work. So let's shift into Trump. So he's got a civil action against him in Manhattan by far, far, far, fars left Attorney General Letitia James. The case is this.

James is accusing Donald Trump and three of his children, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, of, quote, staggering fraud for overvaluing assets by billions of dollars so that they could borrow against the assets. And Letitia Graeme says this is against New York civil laws, not a criminal case. So Trump had to come here to New York, where I am last night, and do a deposition. Okay, the lawsuit, James wants $250 million from Trump. Now, I have no idea. Okay, I have no idea. I know two things. Number one, this is political. Okay, James doing the same thing. Bragg is doing their buddies in the same far left trough. And number two, that Trump has been singled out one man, one American, for all of this punishment because they don't like him.

That's what. Now, maybe he'll lose this. He's lost lawsuits before. But that's what's. Now, Trump himself is suing his former attorney Michael Cohen for $500 million. The lawsuit alleges that Cohen breached attorney-client privilege by spreading falsehoods about Trump. All right. So Trump wants a half million bucks. This is filed in the Southern District of Florida. So I'll tell you a story about Michael Cohen. In 2016, during the campaign, Donald Trump called me about something I don't remember what it was.

Okay? And I said, why don't you come on the show, and at that time it was working for Fox, and we'll kick this around. He goes, no, I'm too busy. I can't do it. I got a campaign thing. But I want you to take Michael Cohen, my lawyer. knows all about this. And I said, not in a million years would I put Michael Cohen on my program. Not in a million years would I do that. He goes, why? Why? I said, I don't trust him.

He's honest. Okay, I'm not putting him on. I don't put surrogates on. I'll put your surrogates on. I don't put Hillary Clinton surrogates on. I don't do that. I won't do it. You want to come on, you're welcome. Not taking Michael Cohen. At that time, Trump, thought Michael Cohen's great. I always knew he wasn't. Just as I knew, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani and all those people who were running around saying the Dominion Law Machines, and we'll get voting machine,

we'll get to that later, I don't put them on. Okay, I'd invite them. Because I knew it was BS. If you were experienced, like I am, and you know and you can read what's happening, these aren't hard decisions to make. They're not. So anyway, Cohen getting sued for a half million, you know, and this is going to, Cohen's got to defend it.

He's got to hire lawyers, you've got to do all of this, and, you know, there you go. All right, New York City, the downfall of New York City. Sienna College Poll, it's a small college up by Albany, very small sample, 795 residents of New York. Two questions. Overall, are you happy that you live in New York, or do you wish you lived somewhere else? Happy to live in New York, 70, wish I live somewhere else, 30. Okay? Second question, do you plan to continue to live in New York,

or will you move in the next five years? Live in New York 71 will leave 27%. Now, those are big numbers. Those are big numbers for wanting to get out of here. So if you have 30% of your population dissatisfied and want to go somewhere else, The tax implications of that are staggering because most of the people who are leaving New York State and City are big earners or corporate people. And the state can't replace that money.

Now, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety, license registration, 10,000 New Yorkers in the first quarter of this year, 23, have changed from New York licenses of Florida. 10,000. That's huge. And this state is running a deficit. I mean, I don't have enough money to pay anything. Highest tax state and the union, they have to rate tax even higher. That means more people will leave. So this thing is totally out of control here in New York. California, same thing. Illinois, Cook County, same thing. Identical. People know what's going on and they don't want to be abused anymore. By the way, New Yorkers are moving primarily to three counties of Florida, Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade, and Broward, okay, the East Coast Ocean counties. It's interesting, the migration patterns. Canadians go to the west coast of Florida,

but most New Yorkers are going to the East Coast. So this morning on WABC Radio, which carries the no spin news under the banner of common sense uh... and i'm on that radio station doing commentary every day i was on with sit in the morning number one morning program congratulations to sid rozenberg n w a bc astounding turnaround i'm on there we're talking about new york city roll it there is no discipline in the city of new york so there's no quality of life

so you walk down the street with your ten-year-old and you're smelling pot Right. Every second. That's right. You're watching drug addicts inject themselves with narcotics. You're on the subway and you're seeing the most depraved conduct you can imagine. And nothing is being done about it. Nope.

Why? Because the far left doesn't want anything done about it. They believe the imposition of order is racist. Because most of the miscreants in New York. city are people of color so they've thrown the whole system of self-protection out and that's why we have the anarchy we have and that's why people are moving away okay so you know i hate to single out people of color. I don't like to do that. I don't think skin color drives crime or any other social ill. The problem is the culture which has grown up in some of the poor neighborhoods,

not only in New York, but in urban centers all over the country. That culture, not just African Americans are whites, Hispanics, that very few Asians, by the way, but whites and Hispanics partake. It is violent. It is a violent culture. It glorifies drug use, glorifies it. That culture is driving this behavior. Nobody wants to talk about it, plus the dissolution of the family, which you'll never get a conversation on at all. So that's why this is all happening. I'm a big why guy. The what is easy. Any moron can tell you in the media what is happening, but they can't tell you why. I don't have the guts to tell you why. Because they might get in trouble. Okay. Now, another weird story. I used the word weird at the top of the program. This is so strange.

So Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is probably the finest hospital for vets in a world. I've been there many times to talk to wounded soldiers and to do other stories. Well, pastoral care is a big part of that. That means rabbis, priests, ministers, imams, whatever it may be. They go there to the hospital to bring solace to the people who are ill, to the vets who are ill and wounded. Okay. So this was administrated last year. year by Catholic priests. They had the contract, okay? But everybody, of all faiths, was allowed in. Well, they booted the Catholics. They booted them. The Defense Department runs Walter Reed, kicked them out. And they gave the contract to a secular firm, no religion.

Well, there are some congresspeople who are very angry about this, and they want an explanation. and there should be an explanation. This is pastoral care. Falls under the banner of religion, not secular. So the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, Mr. Clueless, this is the guy who was Afghanistan saying, it was, hey, it's okay. You know, he should give everybody, every American,

because this is taxpayer money in there. Well, why'd you boot the Catholic priest? I'll tell you why they booted them because of abortion. The Biden administration, even though Biden, Biden's visiting or has visited the shrine at knock in Ireland, which is where the Blessed Mother was supposed to appear. He visits. You know, he parades as Catholicism, but his administration has run a rough shot over the Catholic Church.

And here's another story. So a person named Mave Noda, 31 years old, transgender, a male who identifies as a woman, attacked the St. Louis Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington. He attacked it, smashed doors, painted F.U. Catholics, rot on your fake hell. He even spray painted a person working inside the church. That was assault. Now, this is a hate crime. Correct? Hate crime? Against the Catholic Church? Right? No doubt. Hate crime. Well, the Justice Department is recommending no prison time for Maev Noda. Are you kidding me? You just attacked a Catholic church. They got it on video. He should do at least two years. a hate crime? What if he had attacked, and you know what I'm going to say, a mosque or a synagogue or a black church, a Baptist church? Think you would have gotten no prison time?

No. So all you Catholics out there know, understand the Biden administration is not your friend because of abortion. Now let's get to the abortion pill. This is going to the Supreme Court. So there are some states that don't want the abortion pill sold. And they are saying that it's not safe. I don't know. Okay? The FDA is approved that I guess.

But it's in the courts. It's in the courts. So now the Supreme Court is going to decide whether these abortion pills have to be sold. in all 50 states. Now you can't force a pharmacy to carry them. This is, but you can't outlaw them. So if you have a pharmacy, you don't want to carry the abortion pill. They can't force you carry it. But there can't be a law in North Dakota or wherever, Mississippi, that no abortion bills can be sold in the state because there'd be pharmacies who want to sell. That's what the Supreme Court will hear. Legal abortions since the Roe v. Wade decision, this is according

to a pro-life group, the Society of Family Planning, there are 5,377 fewer abortions on average per month, per month. So we're talking more than 60,000 human beings are on the planet now that would not have been had the Supreme Court not thrown the abortion thing back to the states. I guarantee you we'll never hear that reported anywhere. You are not going to hear that except here on the No Spin News, all right? It's stunning. So 60,000 Americans, because you're born in America, your American citizen, are here that would not have been here, had the Supreme Court kept

Groby Wade is a federal tenant and not kicked it back to the states. Do you care about that? I wonder. I don't know. I'm just asking. Do you care? I mean, the media certainly is pro-abortion. They like abortion, many of them. But I don't know whether Americans even care about this or not. Anizer Bush, we've been covering the story of the trans person who is advertising Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney and Bud, Aniza Bush, Bud Light, taking it on the chin. They have lost $5 billion in equity since this campaign was made public. That means their stock prices down.

People are selling the stock. And they're not buying as much beer, as much Bud Light as they used to, and that's what's going on there. Mulvaney herself or himself would, I don't know. I don't know. Mulvaney says there these people who are against her are bullying her because she's an easy target. All right. and also Budweiser, which owns Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser. The Clydesdales can appear in Springfield, Missouri, capital of the state, because the threats.

Now, that's bad. I like the Clydesdales. You like the Clydesdales, but they're getting so many threats, Anise of Bush, that they're pulling the horses out of a display, and that's bad. Okay, I hope you're not threatening anybody. that would be terrible. 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 wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, smart life. So this segment, as you know, is set up to help you. I think we're the only national media that does this. And it is, the stories that I select are to make your life easier. That's what it is. Like last night we had, you want to buy or sell a car. Here's a website. We checked it out. It's pretty good. I gave you the website and you do what you want. But we do that with nutrition. We do that with anything that directly affects you. So we have a program on Bill O'Reilly.com, concierge membership, and it costs less than $100 a year. But it is the best investment you could make because it'll save you sometimes thousands of dollars a year, depending on what you need and what you ask and how I can direct you.

So what's happening, though, is that people are starting to send me mail on the regular mail unit, not the concierge, and asking questions that I would ordinarily only answer under the concierge program. So we have two tiers. You have premium membership, okay, which is very inexpensive, and you get your money back if you, because you get a free book on any of them. And then if you buy anything, the discounts, you got your money back. It's essentially free. Concierge men are a little bit, a little bit higher, but still very small. So I'm going to read you three letters that came in this morning.

First is from Eleanor Moore, Bridgeport, Connecticut. I love the no-spin news. We've been fans since the factored days. I have Amex charges that I'm carrying, but the interest is high. I have an annuity, which I can pull, to pay off Amex, should I do it? Now, ordinarily, I would not do this on the no-spin news. I do it privately on the concierge membership ban, which we do every day. But it's private. Nobody knows. So the answer to your question, Illinois, is yes.

Get rid of that credit card debt, because you're paying Vig, vigorous, about 18, 19%. So economically, if you can pay it, pay it. It just makes sense. Second letter is from Cheryl Phillips Lone Tree, Colorado. My daughter wants to study in Prague. Next year, she'll be 20 years old with the current climate in Europe. I'm not sure what I should do. She'll be fine in Prague.

It's a beautiful city. It's a great experience for her to have. And unless things change, you know, you have to keep your eye on it. when booking her semester by travel insurance. She's in case all hell breaks loose, but Prague is fine. And the next one is Susan Mullen, Methuen, Massachusetts. Please help us choose between Bentley College and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst School of Business, similar cost. Both are in Massachusetts, so that means they're woke.

All right, but Bentley College is much, much smaller. It's north of Boston, I believe, in a suburb. I would go to Bentley, only because UMass is huge. And UMass can get a little crazy in Amherst. Bentley, I don't know what the woke quotient is. You should go there. Certainly, if you're going to send your kid to any college, you should walk to campus and figure it out.

okay because you can see right there what's going on um but if it were me i one of my kids went to fordham the other is salvea regina fordum is a big school salve is a small school i prefer small schools okay but i don't want to send them to woke places neither fordum nor salve or woke and i made sure that before i wrote the tuition check so anyway those are three letters and i think important to those people who wrote to me, but I can't do it again. I can't read that on the regular letter ban. We do have letters coming up. If you want personal advice, I'm happy to give it to you, but it has to be under the concierge program on billowally.com. Okay, AI, we're watching this AI madness. It's coming. New study says 40% of domestic tasks will be automated in 10 years.

This comes out of Japan and the UK, but it's going to happen here. 47% of U.S. jobs are at high risk of automation. It's true. Okay. Grocery shopping is going to be all automated. So if you work in a grocery store, you know, those jobs are going to be cut down. A lot of service jobs are going to be cut down. You clean a house, you're going to be able to clean your house by AI.

Okay. AI is going to come in, and it's going to do a lot of. the labor. So train yourself now, if you're younger, particularly, to do something that AI can't do. Like sell. AI can't sell. Human beings have to sell. Real estate, whatever it may be. Let's say in history April 13, 2011, this is fascinating. So President Barack Obama, under a lot of pressure, gave a big speech and said that government deficits, deficit spending, would be cut $4 trillion in 12 years. Okay.

President Obama told the nation, $4 trillion in deficit over 12 years cuts. Okay, it's 12 years. Here are the stats. The deficit in 2011, when Obama made the speech, was $1.3 trillion. the estimated deficit this year, 2.3 trillion. So a trillion dollars higher. That is because government cannot and will not stop the massive spending because they want to buy votes.

That's what it's all about, buying your vote. Get today approaching $33 trillion. Back when Obama made the speech, the national debt was $238 billion. Unbelievable. Unblank and believable. $238 billion to almost $333 trillion. Can't keep happening.

Okay, quick break, mail, and then final thought on the Fox News trial. Let's go to the mail. Al, says, my crystal ball predicts Fox will win the Dominion lawsuit. DeSantis will be Trump's VP and Trump will win the election. China will not invade Taiwan. All right, Al, I'm going to hold you to it, man. Okay, I'll remember.

Susan Livingston, Woodbury, Minnesota. I agree with you, Bill, that if Trump and DeSantis could put aside their egos and decide to run together, it would give the conservators an edge. Mark Corfanta, Ravensdale, Washington. I disagree that a Trump dissentist's ticket would be a positive development. Having Descenters on the ticket would not help Trump gain support of moderates. Ted, on a message board. You say, O'Reilly, there is no one visible enough to replace Biden.

A few Democrats would challenge him anyway for fear of angering the left wing, which is Biden in his pocket. Okay? personally i don't rate bobby kennedy juniors chances high but he is running no chance not with the covid stuff and the vaccines you don't have a chance not with the far left or even the democratic party in general barry bill smart life stay out of chicago okay barry Lieutenant Colonel Bob Smith in Ashdown, Arkansas. Majority of hardworking Americans are team normal folks. I agree.

Well, team crazy screams, whines, and attacks. Normal folks are hard at work, running businesses, serving their customers and employees. Yeah, that's why we want you to get the gear. Team normal. You know, you're the hardworking American, the honest American. You love your country. You want to see it get better. but you don't think it has to be destroyed, and the team crazies do.

So this is on bill o'Reilly.com. We do have very nifty shirts for the ladies. Can I say ladies? Yes, I can say ladies. On this day coming up, hats and mugs, team normal, check it out. Francisco Hermosillo, San Diego. Mr. O'Reilly, all your killing books have been amazing. entertaining and informative all of them and capital letters from francisco problem is i'm about

to finish killing the legends thank you but what's next francisco you surely have heard about killing the witches who september 26th you'll love it it's not just about witches you're going to be very surprised about what's inside this book if you become a premium or concierge you get it free pre-order it now and the membership applies to any of my killing books thank you for reading them all francisco very nice of you okay word of the day chris quomo used this last night on his program when i was on do not be a coxcomb legitimate word c o x c o mb will be back with a cut of my news nation appearance on the fox news lawsuit in a moment okay here is the final thought today on Wednesdays, I go on the Chris Cuomo program, News Nation, 8 p.m. Easter. And last night, they

wanted to talk about the Fox News lawsuit, which, you know, a lot of people want to talk to me about it. And I am going to cover this fairly. Okay. No animus here. I'm going to cover it fairly. It's not going to be easy because 100% of the corporate media in America wants Fox to lose. Everybody does. Okay. Not me. i'm agnostic okay i don't one way or the other jury is being selected today testimony is supposed to begin on monday i just did my radio commentary on it all right so last night this came up and i was trying to explain to chris qualmo the big picture Roll it.

So you would think that Rupert Murdoch, who calls the shots, would try to settle. So now I believe that Dominion didn't want to settle. That Dominion believes it's going to win its case. And on top of the 1.6 billion, it's asking, the jury of regular folks will give it punitive damages as well, which could lift it up to $2 billion. Now a federal judge will bust that down, but it's a catastrophe for the Fox News Channel. Is it? Is it?

No cameras in a courtroom are, that's a benefit to Fox. Because if you had the camera on and these, and these attorneys are cutting these people of pieces. But it's a downside because now literally every organization, news organization covering the trial wants Fox to lose, 100%, so that the American people are going to get filtered through that. But shouldn't you lose? whatever that means, if you are saying one thing to each other and another thing to your audience? Well, I don't know if hypocrisy is worth $1.6 billion.

Okay. So we found a lawyer, and believe me, we looked because a lot of lawyers have agendas. I think that's fair. I think I found a guy. who doesn't, who's an expert on civil litigation, and he's going to be our go-to guy. You know, we have Brett Tallman in the Justice Department. I think most of you think and like Brett Tallman and think he's an honest guy. I know he's an honest guy. I got an attorney, and we're going to bring him in on Monday, all right, because I don't, I'm not in the courtroom here. I'm dependent like you are in the Associated Press.

Come on. The Associated Press didn't even mention that Hunter Biden is in Ireland with his father the first time he got off the plane. So you know the fix is in, right? And I'm not down there to watch myself, so I've got to try to get what's going on because I think you're interested in this story. If you're not interested in it, let me know. I'm not going to do crazy amount of coverage on it, but I'm going to keep you updated. The final thing is that in anything like this, all right, there are a lot of things that people don't know. You know, so Dominion throws out all these quotes from the Fox News people.

They might be out of context. You don't know. We don't see the whole conversation stream. So to be fair, and I try to be fair in everything, you know, I'm going to cover this. And the final thing I want to say is no matter what happens, this changes. the whole television news industry. It changes it. Now, Fox is not going to lose its hardcore, older conservative viewers.

They'll be there to the end because there's nowhere else for them to go. No, they'll be there. But as I said yesterday, the younger viewers are fleeing. Not my concern, not my job. I've got to run my own news agency. Okay? But I'm going to tell you the truth about what's happening. Thank you for watching and listening.

to the No Spin News, new columns Sunday noon, and we'll see you again on Monday.
