So this big dog and pony show on Capitol Hill, testifying in front of some House committees about trying to censor Fox News, Newsmax, One America, you know, let's get them out of here. stronger country if we only had liberal TV networks, right? That would be really, really good. So that was the hearing. Nothing will come of this. But there is a plan. There is a reason why this is happening. So I got Bernie Goldberg warming up in a bullpen now. You're going to come on in. I'll walk you through it. It's an important story. And here's the setup. So basically, There are two liberal members, both California, Congresspeople, who are driving this. Let's cancel Fox News.

Let me get their names here. I don't have, yes. Anna Eschew and Jerry McInerney, we told you about them yesterday. All right, so they succeeded in getting a House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology to hear these. complaints against the conservative media. And then the Energy and Commerce Committee, they joins. There are a lot of them in this hearing. The first time, by it I'm going to play for you,

is the chairman of the communications technology. Congressman Mike Doyle, go. In the midst of this pandemic, we also saw the rise of the Stop the Steel movement, fomented by former President Trump and propagated by members of the media that sought to dispute the outcome of our elections and overturn our democratic process. As we all know, this led directly to the horrific events of January 6th.

So what? Until he's reading it off the paper, that one of his assistants wrote for him. So what? We all know that. Why are you wasting our time? They're wasting our time because they're basically going to pin the controversy over the election and the insurrection at the Capitol on the conservative media. So they tried to pin it on Donald Trump, and impeachment.

We'll get to that in a moment. And that didn't work. And then that I'm going to try to pin it on the conservative television outlets. That's what that was all about. And so because they did that, because they disrupted our electoral process, and that led to the violence at the Capitol, you gotta get them out of here. They have to go off the air, okay?

The second soundbite is a Republican congressperson who's very upset by all this. Go. And all my time on this committee, there's never been a more obvious direct attack on the First Amendment. Despite what has been said, I want to be

very clear. Condeming the January 6th attack and upholding truth and facts, it's a shared bipartisan goal. Unfortunately, that's not what this hearing is about. If the majority was really interested in a meaningful dialogue, you wouldn't schedule a hyper-partisan hearing to shame and blame. You wouldn't be sending letters pressuring private companies to block conservative media outlets. I'm not only disappointed in

this hearing, I'm deeply troubled by it. And so am I. Number one, it's a waste of taxpayers' money. This is just, you know, why are you doing this? You have no chance. for the government to take any action against any news network. That's not going to happen. So why are they doing it? I'll get there. I'll get there. But I have to play one more soundbite. This is by a woman named Soledadad O'Brien used to work at CNN. A very committed liberal woman, but she did criticize NBC News and CNN today for all of the phony business and the Russian collusion stuff. You remember that. Of course, everybody remembers. That happened three years. We didn't hear any threats against CNN and NBC News that the big corporation should hurt them for that bogus coverage.

Do you hear that? No. So Ms. O'Brien pointed that out, but still, her sentiments lie with the progressives. Go. I think that you should not be allowed, and this should be through the news organization, should not want people to be on the air if they are, in fact, lying. and they are liars. Okay, so who decides that? Who decides if they're liars are lying? You remember Al Franken? He wrote a book, Lying Liars or something.

In that book, he said that I was not born and raised in Levittown, Long Island. He said it flat out. O'Reilly's a liar. He wasn't born there. And then I had to produce the deed to my parents' home, which I did. clearly said Levitat. So I'm only telling you that, number one, because Al Frank is the lowest

form of humanity, don't get lower than him, and number two, and I wanted to remind everybody about that, and number two, that, okay, you could call anybody a liar. You can do that all day long. Oh, you like the Kansas City Chiefs, you thought they were going to win a Super Bowl, you're a liar, they lost. So, Ms. O'Brien, who, are you? Are you going to be the arbitrator of who's a liar and who isn't? I love that to Barney Frank. Remember Barney? Okay, on the O'Reilly Factor. When he lied right in front of you, I had a videotape. He basically said the federal government wasn't responsible for the bogus loans coming out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And then when I said, of course they were responsible. He goes, I didn't say that. I said, what? Here's the tape. And it was, you know, Google it.

O'Reilly Barney-Frank. Google it. Now, I had him back on after that. I didn't ban him. He obviously wasn't telling you the truth. I scolded him, you know, in a very loud way. But who's the arbitrary? Oh, no, you didn't put liars on.

I mean, I don't want to be flipping about this, but if you're going to have a truth serum, you're not going to have any television news lying is pervasive spinning no spin zone reason no spin news i have that moniker all right so that was uh what happened today on capital hill it didn't get anybody anywhere it won't so uh what is really going on okay so the california congressman su and mccanerney sent letters to at t and t Verizon Roku Amazon Amazon Amazon Apple, Comcast, Charter Communications, DISH, Cox, Altees, Alphabet, and Hulu. And on those letters, they said, you should not carry Fox News, News, Max, and One America.

Dump them. And if that happened, okay, then you wouldn't have those networks. Because they don't broadcast like NBC, ABC, and CBS does over the public airways. They broadcast through private companies, okay, that take them and, you know, put them on cable systems. It's a whole different thing. So the far left, the progressives are saying, we're gonna strangle.

We tried the boycotts that has worked. We've targeted people like Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, we target them, hurt them. Cowardly corporations now won't advertise. We've done that, but we still haven't gotten them off the air because there are traditional conservative people who are gonna watch them no matter what we do, no matter how many sponsor boycotts there are,

they're still gonna do that. going to do that. They're still going to watch. But now we're going to go. We're going to get where they live. We're going to get Verizon and all these people to dump them, take them right off because they're liars. And they led to, they lied about the pandemic and they lied about this and the election and the, yeah, on and on and on. Okay. That's the end game. Will they succeed? No, they won't succeed. This time. this time. But to come and back. Now, I have told you and told you and told you, I had to experience this every day of my life when I worked for Fox. I mean, George Soros pumped tens of

millions of dollars into operations like Media Matters, designed to cripple and hurt me. All right? Every single day. Look about lying. My God. So we got through it, except when the management changed over there and then it got too intense but that was fine all right i'm much better off running my own news operation but i'm sure somewhere at some time somebody's going to try to cancel me somehow that's why i've got five lawyers okay and they're good so when you come into my zone now to attack you're going to pay a price and that costs a lot of money but we're able to to do it. We have to do it. It's a war. It's a war. Okay, for the hearts and minds. I mean, there's a lot of heart in it, of the American people. It's a propaganda war. And that is what

we are seeing played out. So, when you see all of this happen, no, it's designed to shut down opposing speech. The progressive left, the far left, does not want to hear anything that goes against their orthodoxy. And they want to punish people who do it. Don't see that on the right.

You don't see people on Newsmax calling for CNN to shut down. At least I haven't seen it. Maybe there's loons everywhere. Maybe they've done it, but I haven't seen it. Okay? All coming from one precinct here. Note that.

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. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. Or place in a tax advantage, gold, I are.

They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions and precious medals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-89-89-8-9-9. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. All right, joining us now from North Carolina, the purveyor of the very successful website, Bernardgoldberg.com, all kinds of fun stuff, interesting stuff going on there. We'll talk a little bit about that at the end of the interview.

So in my assessment of what's happening with the censorship and the attacks on right-wing media, am I misstating anything in your opinion, Bernie? I feel very uncomfortable, Bill. I have to be honest with you. I agreed with everything you said, and that makes me feel very uncomfortable. I know. Okay, let me make several points. First, I have a friend, a very smart guy, who back in the 60s, was,

an anti-war liberal, anti-war liberal activist. Over the years he became a conservative. A few years ago he said to me, if the left ever is in a position to take control, they will try to shut down free speech. I wasn't buying it. He's right. It turns out he's absolutely right. Because if the liberals on this committee had their way, if they thought they can get away with it, which, as you said, they can't. But if they thought they can get away with it, they would try to shut down any kind of opinions that they disagreed with. That's point number one.

Point number two, the purpose of this hearing, ostensibly, was to come out against misinformation, disinformation, lies that pose as facts. Hey, I'm against that also. You're against that also. But the problem is that too many liberals think that the only

disinformation that's worth talking about is coming from conservative media. Oh, there's plenty of disinformation coming from CNN and MSNBC, but they don't want to talk about that. Adam Schiff, a member of the same Congress that held this hearing today, Adam Schiff, disseminates

false. information all the time, but that doesn't seem to bother them. Okay, that's point number two, that they think it's only a conservative problem. And my final point, Bill, they want to talk about information that poses, that presents itself as fact, but it's really either lies or disinformation. But it'll take them 10 seconds before they go from supposedly factual information to opinion that they don't like, that they'll try to shut down. It's one thing to say,

I don't want somebody on the air to say the earth is flat because it isn't flat. That's a fact. I'm all for that. But when it gets into opinion, as you rightly asked, who's going to be the judge

of what opinion is false and what opinion is acceptable? That's the problem. Well, a vibrant debate is the mark of a democracy of a country that respects opposing points of view. We're not a country that respects opposing points of view anymore.

We're not. That's right. And on both sides. On both sides. So the game now is to run the other side down. All right? Totally. Down.

All right. So I'll give you an example. So I'm talking to Sean Hannity on his radio program today. And we're talking about Joe Biden. And there's a clip. of Mr. Biden yesterday, not able, he's not able to get out that 500,000 Americans have died from COVID. Can't get it out. Just can't say it for whatever reason. All right. And so the discussion was about cognitive decline on the part of the president. So it was a very interesting

discussion. There weren't any facts presented because we're not doctors. I mean, we can't go in and say Joe Biden has X, Y, and Z. What we can say is that this is what is happening. That's a fact. Okay. So whether you like Joe Biden or not, that's a discussion that's worth having because he's the leader of the country. Now, the other side would shut that discussion off. You couldn't have it because you're lying about Joe Biden. No, I'm not. I'm raising questions about Joe Biden as I raise questions about Donald Trump in certain areas. I'm not saying anything because I don't know. I'm not a physician. But then we shut that down. And I don't think people understand, but the big threat here are the corporations, Bernie. So you saw the boycott stuff.

You saw big corporations pulling ads just on accusations, allegations, nothing solid. We don't like them, so you pull your ad or else. And they did. And now they're trying to same tactic on the cable carriers. You better pull them off. You don't pull them off. We're going to hurt you. That's what's going on here. They're cowards. Corporate America has become an institution composed largely of cowards. They don't want to, they don't want to question whether they don't want a debate. They don't want a healthy debate. They don't want two sides of a discussion. They have taken sides, and the side they've taken is the, excuse, the woke, woke, left-wing side of arguments. So if you say that America is a fundamentally, irredeemably racist country,

you won't get in any trouble with any corporation in America. But if you go on and say, I don't buy that argument. Are there racist in a country of 330 million people? Yes, there are, and I would prefer that there be none. But yeah, there are some racist, and it's a bad thing. But America is not a fundamentally racist country. You might get fired for that. As a matter of fact, let me give you a real-life example.

A play-by-play announcer for the Sacramento King's basketball team in the NBA was asked what he thinks of Black Lives Matter in a tweet. He tweeted back, and this is a verbatim tweet, All Lives Matter. That's what he said. All lives matter. And he lost his job 10 seconds after he did that. He was God.

That's a problem. That's a problem. And it should be the media that speaks out again. what's going on, but the media all too often is paving the way. Yeah, they're participating in the censorship. Look, if you allow Silicon Valley, and there has to be new laws drawn up by Congress and signed by a president to regulate the censorship coming out of Facebook and all of these other Twitter, there have to be because they have special protections. Those companies are given special protections by the federal government, so you can't sue them directly for certain. things. But if you allow that to happen so that they can knock out anybody who's using social

media to get a point across, that's not open to them. Then they knock out television and radio because if you give an opinion that I don't think masks stop a transmission of COVID, that opinion, I believe is wrong, but if you do it, you're done out, okay, so that you can't have any discussion about anything like that. Then we then descend into totalitarianism. That's the only way socialism can be imposed. The only way socialism can come is not through a free society, but a totalitarian society. Look, we all know about free speech, and people often misuse the term. The only people who cannot let you say certain things, even if they're false things, is the government.

That's a violation of free speech. But there's something else known as the spirit of free speech. So while the government can't shut you down for saying things the government disagrees with, even if they're false things, the government can't shut you down. But if Silicon Valley decides to shut you down, that's a violation of the spirit, of free speech. You know what? It may not be illegal. As a matter of fact, it's not illegal as of

today, but it's wrong. And when powerful institutions where millions and millions of people get their news, I mean, they're not getting their news from the CBS evening news the way they used to when we work their bill. Now they're getting it from Facebook, you know, and Twitter. Well, if those powerful institutions can shut down free speech. spirit of free speech. And if they're doing it, and if they're doing it in conjunction with one political party, the Democratic Party, that's tantamount to the government shutting down free speech. It's not the same, but it's pretty close to the same. Okay, so you and I, we run our own operations, and we are selling freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

That's what Goldberg and O'Reilly sell. Okay, now I do it through the no-spin news that you're watching and listening to right now. I also do it to syndicated radio through writing and things like that. You, Bernie Goldberg, have bernardgoldberg.com. It's your operation. How difficult is it for you to make a go of it? That's a very interesting question, Bill. Very interesting, because in the current state of media, and you made a very important point a few seconds ago when you said it isn't about debate anymore, it's about putting down the other side.

That's what cable news has become, for instance, just putting down the other side. I don't do that on my website. I put down the other side when I firmly believe the other side is wrong, but when I believe that. My side is wrong. I also write about that. So if anybody is looking for a place to go where they're only going to get their own opinions validated, where nobody's going to say, I think you're wrong about this. And here's why. Don't waste your time coming to bernardgobert.com. I don't want you to waste your time. My website says, as your show does, this is what I think. It is only my opinion. It's an educated opinion in that I've been a newsman for more years than I care to announce to the whole world. But it's only my opinion. Sometimes my opinion is something you will agree with, but sometimes it's something you will disagree with. I will never, ever pander to my audience.

I have too much respect for the people who come to my website. I will never pander to that. And you have too much respect for yourself. and that's the way I look at it. So, anyway, I wanted people to go to bernard Goldberg.com. Check it out. Don't mind if Bernie's a little obnoxious. That's just the way he was born.

It's not his fault. But he is charming in his own way, and you'll see that. It comes through on the website. So thanks for taking the time and talk with us. We really appreciate it, Bernie. Once again, I feel uncomfortable today. because they get a lot of sense. All right.

We'll see you soon, I hope. All right, Democrats are canceling Governor Andrew Cuomo. We couldn't find one liberal pundit sticking up for the governor last night. Not one. CNN has muted his brother, Chris Cuomo, as a 9 o'clock program. He can't mention his brother Andrew Cuomo, the governor. So Democrat Assemblyman Ronald Kim wants Cuomo impeached, not Chris, Andrew, in New York. We don't have recall here like you have in California.

Newsom, I think Newsom may be gone this year. But anyway, Andrew Cuomo can't be recalled, but he can be impeached. And a Democrat's leading away. Okay. And 11 members of the New York State Democratic Party have submitted a resident. solution in the legislature in Albany to censure Andrew Cuomo. So they're after him. And this is, everybody's asking me, why are they, why are the left after one of their own? Remember, just two, three weeks ago, Andrew Cuomo was like, oh, the big, it's going to be

Attorney General, he's going to do this. Here's why they're after him, because the smart heads in the Progressive Party know they've overreached, and I'm going to do that in the final thought. They know it. So now they're throwing Cuomo because you can't defend what Cuomo did. I mean, people died. And he won't admit it. But it's true. You can't defend it. Nobody can defend it. So they're going to throw him over the side into the ocean so they can point to, oh, no, no, no, we just don't cancel conservatives. We cancel all bad people. That's why they're doing it. Isn't it as fascinating? Two federal investigations, one by the FBI out of Brooklyn, nursing home Cuomo situation. And now some Republican senators want to launch an investigation

out of Capitol Hill on Andrew. Andrew. And this is just an aside. CNN, you know what CNN is, okay. Hate Trump, this and that. The week of January 18th, they were still hating Trump. okay um they got on prime time an average of two million eight hundred thousand uh viewers week of february eighth they lost 35 percent of their audience and it's going to get down to 50 and 60 percent cnn got vanished along with trump as soon as trump left cnn and msbc's audience was, woo. Fox is having trouble. You know that across the board. So as I predicted, they're all going to be, have not a good year this year, unless some big thing happens. Reparations for slavery. We've got a good guest on this coming up. He's warming up in the bullpen in Kansas for us.

All right. So there was a study done at Harvard, my alma mater. And two guys did this study. Dr. Eugene Richardson and Dr. Momin Malik. And they came to the conclusion that descendants of slaves should receive $800,000 per household in reparations. And if they did, they got $800,000, then maybe that slavery thing would be mitigated. Okay. That's never going to happen. million years. So anyway, Joe Biden, he doesn't oppose reparations like his former boss, Barack Obama did. Here's what Jen Saki said about President Biden. He has signed an executive

order on his first day, which would begin to deliver on his commitment to having an across government approach to addressing racial inequality and making sure equity is a part of of his entire policy agenda, but he certainly would support a study of reparations. We understand, understands that we don't need a study to take action right now. I don't know what that means. There's going to be a study. Whenever you hear that, we're going to have a commission. No, we're going to have a study. Whenever you hear that, means nothing's going to happen. Okay, so there is a bill, HR 40, that would do something, create a commission.

Okay. The bottom line is not going to be any reparations, direct payments to descendants of slave in the United States. Not going to happen. Because it would be so explosive and caused so much damage to race relations, people are going, hey, I lost descendants fighting for the North. I had my property seized. You know, what about this? What about it? I mean, it would never end. So it's not going to happen. has tapped $30 billion to advance racial equity. This is the Biden thing. So J.P. Morgan's going to put $30 billion of its own money, kind of, toward supplying more loans to customers and businesses of color, expanding operations and opening branches to serve more communities in the neighborhoods that are marginalized and investing in new technology to help somebody. I don't have any problem with that. I don't have any problem with J.P. Morgan, spending $30 billion or $80 billion or $90 billion, bringing services to people in neighborhoods that are underserved. None.

I don't have any problem with J.P. Morgan hiring as many minorities they want to hire as long as they're qualified. Okay? No problem. This is a private company that can do what they want. But there's always a but. Out of the $30 billion, they're taking their tax credit for it. So they're taking a tax write off for this equity business, J.P. Morgan is so they're deducting it. So they're going to pay less tax, this huge company, this huge bank company.

Less money is going in to the Treasury, the U.S. Treasury, because they're taking a right off on it. Just thought you'd like to know that. That'll never be reported by anybody else, but this and that. I mentioned Barack Obama. He opposes reparations, or at least he did in the past. Very, very clearly, quote, I'm going to quote them. This is July 27, 2008. I've said in the past, I'll repeat again, the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed, unquote. So, there you go. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post, column. 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,

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. I was bringing Michael Austin. He is the director of the Sandal and Center for Entrepreneurial Government in Wichita, Lawrence, Kansas, I should say. And he has been an advisor to the governor of Kansas. He knows his economic stuff. So did I make any mistakes, Michael, in my run-up to reparations that you heard. Do you disagree with

anything I said? No, not at all. Reparations, if done, would be my word, the largest government handout the country would ever see, and it's going to be as effective in solving race relations as the New Deal and war on poverty were effective in growing the economy, right? So in other words, a complete disaster. We here at the Kansas Policy Institute educate government agencies can only do one thing and one thing well, and that's give out government handouts. We really need to empower the people to be the best version of themselves. That's the best way to see equality out there. Okay. So what do you say to a person who says, listen, Michael, you know, my relatives,

my ancestors were enslaved. Then after that, they couldn't get an education. They had to move to Michigan to make a living. They had to live in a ghetto. They weren't, didn't pass down any legacy, any material things to their children. And that's cycle. of poverty and that cycle of deprivation lasts up to this minute. Aren't we entitled we, the victims of slavery all these years later, aren't we entitled to some government help? How would you answer that? Well, there already is government help, but you have to also understand we as a society don't hold people responsible for things that happened in the past. And secondly, when you think about reparations, we're not talking about reparations. Reparations

means there's a specific victim and there's a specific perpetrator. We're talking about government handouts. Take myself, for example, my family didn't come to America until well after slavery ended. Do you think Joe Biden and his reparation study are going to take that into consideration and spend fewer dollars? No, of course not. This is functionally no different than canceling student loans or Medicare for all. It's all about massively expanding government handouts. Now, the president of the United States, Mr. Biden, seems to be on.

on board with handing out as much as he can to so-called marginalized communities, not just African-Americans, but there's a whole list. And this is the equity play that he did the first day he was in office. How do you feel about that, giving favorable treatment to so-called marginalized groups? It depends on what that treatment is, but I think for most of the, for most arguments, you don't create equity, you don't create justice. by making one group worse off than the other. And second, this talk about free stuff,

either free health care or free tuition or even reparations. It's all about taking, you know, people's hard-earned money and spending it in the most flamboyant way possible, regardless of the results. Why do you think that 90% of African-American voters continue to support the Democratic Party in places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, when their whole society is falling apart around them, crime is crazy, poor people are suffering,

being murdered by the thousands. Why do they still support the people who don't seem to be able to help them? Well, let me flip that question a little bit. Why do politicians keep pushing these race-baiting tactics and policies? And my answer to that would be It's like football.

You know, the politicians are going to keep running the rape reparations, the race hustling tactics until, you know, the other side figures out how to stop it. And if the left continues to get more support for socialism and wealth redistribution from doing these types of tactics, then the more that they're going to do it. So the only thing that we can do as a society, I think, is present our elected officials with two simple questions, you know, at what cost and what evidence do you have? But even if you do that, you're not going to convince the politicians because they're going to buy as many votes as they can buy. We all know that. But the folks, the regular folks, I can't answer the question. You go to the Bronx and Brooklyn where I live and you see that it's totally out of control. There's no public safety at all. Yet the folks continue to vote in the people who hurt them. And I don't get it. Last word. I think what's most important is when you set those questions as what the cost is, what is the evidence, you'll find very many policies far left can push through those questions.

And you're right, so much of this year, the society has had a mindset that just seems contrary to Dr. King, right, which is holding yourself to the content of your character. I have learned that making good choices, finding a job, treating others with kindness can go a long way in providing anyone a life that is space. And we just have to get that word out there again. All right, Michael, thanks very much for helping us out. We appreciate it. And if any of you can explain to me, anybody, I mean, write to me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, why people in the African-American community devastated for decades, for hundreds of years in some cases,

continue to vote for people who hurt them. I don't think Michael was able to answer the question. question and I'd love an answer if anybody has a good opinion on that. All right, it's due to the mail. Always a fun part of the program, Wayne concierge member, which means Wayne has direct access to me. The La Cancel Culture thing is not just about denial of due process. It's about denial of the very concept of redemption. It is the denial of a man's right to make mistakes and to change in a woman's right, too.

You've got to be politically correct, Wayne. Very good, Wayne. Very good. Janice Kid, Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Bill, I think the simplest way to end cancel culture by corporations and news media is boycott. I'm not a big boycott guy, but I am going to suggest to people who don't like the cancel culture that those who do it, who push it, who embrace it, you don't do business with them. It's different from a boycott.

I'm not organizing any boycotts. Okay? I'm just saying if this person's doing this, you make the call. You have the power, as we saw in San Francisco. That was the folks that turned that school board around. Kent, your analysis of canceled culture is very good, but how do we as Americans, and there are millions of us, counter cancel culture and biased media? They are in control. Buy your dollars.

That's how you do it. And that's why we're doing this campaign. McGrough, Waterbury, Connecticut, Bill, after listening to the no-spin news, it breaks my heart that our country could lose all its rights in a single generation.

Chris Dolofsky, Philadelphia, Bill Wire, left-wing media outlets like NBC attacking Governor Cormo. He's a Democrat.

That's usually a pass in the media. And I explained it, but I wanted to read your letter because you were on it, and your question prompted me to put the segment in tonight, Chris. Kyle Beatty, I've been listening to you for many years, Mr. O'Reilly. Thanks for delivering the news of clarity and no spin. I'm also a big fan of the killing book. books. And on that note, if you pre-order killing the mob out May 4th, you get 50% off killing crazy horse. If you re-up your premium or concierge member, you get the books free. I mean

that, that's a good deal. You might want to think about it. Okay, when writing to us, do not be a jack-and-a-apes. I love that word. J-A-C-A-N-A-P-E-S. Jack-N-A-P-E-S.
