Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the NOSFIN News, Tuesday, December 2nd, 2021, stand up for your country. President Biden winging his way back to the USA after spending a few days in Europe and running up a huge tab that we the taxpayers pick up and accomplish nothing. that I can see. Maybe he made a few deals that I don't know about, but, you know, the Rome thing was embarrassing for the Pope, not so much for Joe Biden because he doesn't care about the Catholic Church in abortion. He didn't care. Then over there, he met with the Italian Prime Minister and President. Okay, that's great. I don't know what that accomplishes. Then he goes up to Glasgow,
Starting point is 00:00:56 Scotland, they have a big global warming thing. Now, in the global warming thing, he was late. Biden was late consistently for everything he had to do. And I told you yesterday, we're investigating this. Well, it may not be his fault, the president's fault, because it was so chaotic over there. Somebody set off an alarm today, and everybody ran around, and they were this, and they were that, and people were supposed to deliver speeches, and they went over, and Biden went over. So I can't really say with any fairness, and of course I want to be fair to everybody, that President Biden was irresponsible and not showing up on time for his events. But be that as it may, he didn't show up on time. But 400 private jets showed up in Scotland. Yeah, it's like an Air Force. Can you
Starting point is 00:01:44 imagine the Scots with this sheep herders going, whoa, 400 private jets to a global warming conference. tell you about that a little bit more in a minute. And apparently, during one of the events, President Biden fell asleep. Roll it. Okay, so we didn't want to have any sound because we didn't want to awaken him. And that was reported by NBC News. Roll that. This is the fifth day of the president's overseas tour, and he was seen on camera with his eyes closed. It appears that perhaps he was dozing, and in these settings, cameras are all around, and the camera caught President Biden, who turned 79 later this month with his eyes closed for a period of time. And you're right, these can be embarrassing situations.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Now, I might have fallen asleep during it, too. but you know what are you going to do I don't know so this entire climate change deal is about money and if you missed us yesterday you missed a very very important no spin news edition it is available on bill o'reilly.com if you are a premium and concierge member you can watch it any time but I'm not going to go over the analysis again but I prove beyond any reasonable doubt this whole climate change thing is about money, okay, here in the USA and abroad. So summing up, Mr. Biden's trip to Europe has not helped me or you or anybody else, in my opinion, my humble opinion, I guess I could be wrong.
Starting point is 00:03:40 So there's a new poll out, I and I, TIPP, I don't know who these polling people are, 1,300 adults, they ask a very simple question. President Biden, is he mentally sharp? Okay, 42% say he is mentally sharp, and 51% say no. Seven are no sure, unsure. Sharp partisan divide, as always. Seventy-four percent of Democrats believe that Joe Biden's mentally sharp, and only 13% of Republicans do. But independence. Now, independence are the key to political power in this country. It's changed now. The independence are the ones. The independence are the ones that got Joe Biden elected. Trump didn't win enough of them. So they say 58% of independence say, Mr. Biden's not up to the job mentally. Okay, private jets. Here's who partial list. Air Force won Joe Biden, of course, and he has to. He has to. He has to. travel on Air Force One. Security and everything else. I mean, you can't begrudge of that. French President Macron, Justin Trudeau. Oh, Justin Air Canada wasn't good enough, huh? Angela Merkel, I love this. She traveled on Conrad Adonauer's VIP jet.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Adonauer's a very wealthy guy in German. Japanese Prime Minister Casida, India's Prime Minister Modi, Israeli Prime Minister Bennett, Jeff Bezos flew in on his $65 million private jet. Ooh, Prince Albert of Monaco, private jet, and Boris Johnson. Boris couldn't even take the train from London. Boris! Come on, Britt Whale, I took that train a number of times. Prince Charles, private jet.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And I think Leo DiCaprio is over there, and I'm sure Leo wasn't flying British airways. Okay, back in the USA, we have another border mess. As you know, President Trump got a remain in Mexico policy that said, if you want asylum in USA, you have to wait in Mexico until your case is hurt. stopped the madness for a year. It took Trump a long time to get the policy, but then the first day in, Biden knocked the policy out. However, a federal judge, Matthew Kismarik, said that the Department of Homeland Security and President Biden did not follow proper administrative procedures when knocking out a previous president's policy. So therefore, Judge Kismarik,
Starting point is 00:06:40 stated and said, you can't knock it out. The Supreme Court upheld that decision. All right. Now, the Biden administration has written a memo this came out yesterday that says, well, we're not going to obey the order. And I went, whoa, whoa. Biden's going to go up against the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:07:06 But they have a little caveat. So they put it out. He said that Biden's going to let everybody in. That's the open border policy he wants. Biden wants everybody in. Okay? He put a memo on and said, this is what we're going to continue with. But we're not going to continue with it until the termination of the judge's order takes place.
Starting point is 00:07:31 So I guess they're trying to gussy up what the mistake they made in the first place. So this is a wiggle room. But what's important for you to know is that Biden. does not want any restraints against foreign nationals coming into the United States. This is insane. I never thought I would see this from Joe Biden, ever. This is George Soros stuff. That's what this is. State of journalism. All right, so on Halloween, on Sunday, Washington Post does a big investigative report about the intrusion on the Capitol on January 6th. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:10 that's good. I'd like to have investigative reports about what happened on January 6, particularly that the government did not protect the capital the way it should have. That is a legitimate story. All right, so the Post does this, but of course they spit it that the Trump administration was mostly responsible for the lack of security. Okay, so the Trump people then reply to the Washington Post. Now, I'm not going to get into the micro, if you're interested, you can read the Washington Post article, and you can read the Trump reply on Trump's website, because the Washington Post wouldn't print it. They printed a little of it, put it up on a screen, quote, this is from Donald Trump's, spokesman Taylor Budavich. The media
Starting point is 00:09:00 has failed to do his job, including truly exposing Silicon Valley for its role in illegally rigging the election with hundreds of millions of dollars in dark money, which is probably, a gross underestimate. America is furious at the results of November 3rd and deserve answers. They deserve to protest and demand the truth from their representatives. However, since the media is not asking the questions, it's being left up to the people seek the truth. All right, so that's what was printed in the Washington Post. But they did not print the specific objections the Trump people had to the Post article. They should have. Now, this happened last week. You remember, the Wall Street Journal printed a letter in its entirety from Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:09:39 because the Wall Street Journal said, look, much of this vote of fraud stuff isn't true. All right, it's not true. And then the Post listed what wasn't true. Trump objected to that because Trump believes the election was rigged. And the strong point that Donald Trump does have is the Zuckerman money, okay, 430 million. He calls it dark money. It was dark money. Nobody knew about this until the story was broken a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Molly Hemingway broke it. And then I picked it up. So Zuckerman for Facebook poured $430 million in to the mail-in ballots to do whatever they did, and we don't even know what they did. That's a lot of Jack, and it was the reason he did that. Okay, so the Washington Post should. should have printed Donald Trump's objection to its article in totality and then did what the Wall Street Journal did. Take it apart. This is true. This isn't true. This is how we know it.
Starting point is 00:10:49 That's journalism. That's what journalism is. All right? You present both sides. One side inevitably is going to be wrong. And then you present as many facts as possible. One illuminating fact. I dealt with the Washington Post five years ago, and I gave them a story that was solid, and I backed it up every way you could back it up. They would not run it because the editor, Marty Barron, at the time, did not like me personally. And it was an important story. I'm not going to get into it any more than that today, all right? But I will tell you, the reporter wrote it for the Washington Post, all right?
Starting point is 00:11:26 And he's an honest man, and someday I'll put his name out there, but not now. And Marty Barron and they call it the second floor at the Washington Post building in D.C. killed it because they didn't like me. Not because it wasn't true. Okay. So a guy who is our go-to guy on journalistic matters is Bernie Goldberg. You may have heard the name. You may have visited his very fine website, bernardgoldberg.com. And Bernie had a column out recently about how cable news and I guess network news as well as divided Americans and made them hate each other, which is essentially true. So I want to just get your reaction of what I just reported on the Washington Post. I believe there is censorship, and they're proud of it. It used to be when you and I have worked at CBS.
Starting point is 00:12:18 If Dan Rather didn't like a story, it got spiked, okay, just like Marty Barron did to me five years ago. But they weren't proud of it. They kept a quiet. Now, to Washington bills, oh, we're not going to print this. What say you? Before we get into this, you mentioned a poll that said President Biden has a 42% approval rating in terms of mental. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Mental, what? Awareness. Acuity. Mentally sharp. Yes. I'm going to break some news. A poll just came out three minutes ago. And it asked if Bernard Goldberg is mentally sharp. And three percent of the people.
Starting point is 00:12:56 said I am, and 97% said, are you kidding? That just came out. You know, if I were you, I would not have mentioned that poll, but you know, you're a better man for it. Exactly, exactly. Now, on the Washington Posting, let me play a reporter and not commentator. There are two ways to look at this, and you presented both sides. One way to look at it is to say, we're not going to publish something that we know is factually incorrect. So if Donald Trump wants to come down with his response that's filled with crazy stuff, the Washington Post arguably could say, we're not going to do that. The other side would be Donald Trump isn't Joe Blow.
Starting point is 00:13:46 He's the former president of the United States. Run what he says and then run the same day. or, I would say the same day, run right in the same story. However, that is not true. Then Donald Trump makes another statement, and you say, that is not true. And you tell why factually. And here, let me just jump into say why that is important. Because according to polls, 75% of Trump supporters believe the election was rigged.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah, exactly. Okay, so it's not just the Washington Post blowing it. off and all the liberals say, oh, it's a lie, it's a law, it's a law, it's a law, okay, 75%. Okay, so if you have 74 million people voting for Donald Trump and 75% believe the elector was rigged, that's a big story. So you want to get the truth out and persuade some of those people. You don't censor Trump. That's not the way to do it, correct?
Starting point is 00:14:47 I would say that if Choblo said something that Martians' came down and had lunch with me at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan. No, you don't publish that because it's crazy. If Donald Trump says things that factually are not true, he's the former president. You could certainly make a case, publish it, and then refute it in the same article. Okay, so we're sympathetic on that. So I used to wake up. Goldberg's his new column, again available on bernard gobble.com with he wakes up every morning and he turns on cable news to find out what he missed overnight i used to do the exact same thing you know when i got up i would listen to uh the cbs radio um world news round up at eight a m and i still do that okay
Starting point is 00:15:42 and then i would totter on over to the tv turn it on and watch fox and friends and the other two just click around to see what video is out there and what I don't do that anymore I never turn on the set anymore for one key reason and I'll let you have the field I don't learn anything at all now I used to I used to five six seven years ago but I don't learn anything I just hear blah blah blah blather they're either bad mouth in who they hate or making an omelet you know I can make my own own homily. Go. I agree. I'm leaving now. You said it perfectly. Okay, let me give you my version of that. Although I agree with every syllable you just said. I get up and I want to find out
Starting point is 00:16:35 what I missed overnight. So I switch around to the different channels, mostly Fox and CNN. I'm under no illusions. I know that they're not honest newscast. I know that I don't tune it to Fox to hear what a great job Joe Biden is doing, and I don't tune into CNN to hear what a lousy job Joe Biden is doing. That's the bias. That's not what I'm here to talk about right now. I'm saying I've noticed something
Starting point is 00:17:02 that I think is different and it goes beyond bias. The culture war in America is not a good thing. It divides Americans. It makes Americans literally not want to live in the same country with people who hold diametrically opposite views, okay?
Starting point is 00:17:21 But Cable has figured out we could make money capitalizing on the culture wars. So every morning, and it's like on an endless loop bill, every morning I see stories on Fox about the mess on the southern border. Legitimate story. Turned to CNN. I don't see that story on CNN.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I don't see the dramatic footage of people coming up from Guatemala or wherever on CNN. But on CNN, I do hear stories every morning about Donald Trump's role in the January 6th riot, which they routinely call an insurrection. And Fox, I don't get that on Fox. On CNN, I hear that mask mandates are a good thing because they save lives. On Fox, I hear that mask mandates are a bad thing because they're a threat to personal freedoms. On Fox, I hear that Dr. Fauci is a national disaster. On CNN, he's a national treasure.
Starting point is 00:18:21 There are more stories, more hot-button social issues like that. But I've come to the conclusion, Bill, that cable news, because they made a cynical, conscious decision to make money off of the divisions in America. They didn't create the divisions. I want to be clear about that. but they capitalized on them. I believe that cable news as an institution is one of the most divisive forces in all of America. How about network news?
Starting point is 00:18:53 How does that play into this? In the morning, I'm not watching network news because it's too fluffy. You know that once when Brian Gumbull anchored the CBS Morning Show, he did a segment on how to properly fold sheet. I'm not kidding. Patapulti. So I don't need those kinds of stories
Starting point is 00:19:16 when I wake up in the morning. Of course, the networks have a liberal slant to them, but nothing like cable. Nothing like cable is blatant. Cable is in your face. That's because cable is all politics. Yeah, mostly politics.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And network news, as you pointed out, is frothy. And if you look at the anchors in the morning over there, Stephanopoulos is a political guy. He's not a journalist. But, you know, they'll give you maybe eight minutes out of the two hours of that. And then you'll have to sit through Kim Kardashian has a leather jacket on. You're right. I can't possibly. Now, the reason that you say the polarization has occurred, not only is there big money in the audience, but that the corporate corrupt, media pays their anchors and their analysts to spin it a certain way to reach that audience. So they're basically mercenaries there in cable news. They know what they're supposed to say. They're told what they're supposed to say. And I know that to be true. Never happened to me once,
Starting point is 00:20:35 by the way. And I was there at Fox more than 20 years. Somebody would dare. And I mean that word literally they dare, come in and tell me what to say. However, now I know, because I know all of them, that they are, that producers come in and say this is the way we're going to handle this, and they go out and they do because they're being paid millions of dollars. That's it, right? Yes, exactly. Now, I want to emphasize that cable news didn't start the fire.
Starting point is 00:21:02 They didn't create the polarization. They didn't create the divisions, the dangerous divisions in America. they've capitalized on it. And whether there's a written memo or just a word of mouth understanding, you know if you're on cable news what the proper slant of the story is. If you have an anchor on CNN, let's say on Fox, who suddenly wants to tell you that Joe Biden is a great guy. He's not going to be there.
Starting point is 00:21:31 No, he's not going to be there. There's no doubt about it. CNN. Now I have- CNN saying that Donald Trump is a great- guy. He's not going to be there. That's right. So you're absolutely right. And in the New York Times and a Washington Post, the same thing.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I always said if you wear a mega hat in Central Park and somebody sees you and you work for the New York Times, you can kiss your career, goodbye. And that's absolutely true. Can I give you once, there was a poll that just came out recently. 52% of people who voted for Donald Trump want either blue states or red states. They don't care which to secede from the union. right out. We saw that dope people. 42% of Democratic voters who voted for Biden, that's not as big a number, but it's a pretty big number, 42%. They want to say. Right. All they have to do, the Democrats, has moved to California.
Starting point is 00:22:23 That's all. You don't have to leave the union. It's moved to California. And then you have your progressive nirvana. Now, I was on a radio today. And the radio host asked me a very interesting question. said, you know, I noticed when you left Fox News four and a half years ago, all debate stopped, not only at Fox, but on the other networks as well. So anybody watching you and me, if they remember Goldberg, who was a much younger man then, I don't look any different. You knew that if you watched the factor, we were going to bring in the smartest left-wing people or right-wing people, depending on what my point of view was on the issue, to debate me.
Starting point is 00:23:04 That was the fun of the show. Sometimes it got out of hand, Barney Frank, Orodo Rivera, and criminal aliens, whatever it may be. But it was exciting in the sense that you didn't know what was going to happen or which argument was going to emerge strongest. They don't do that now. It's quiet, quiet, quiet. Am I right? Of course you're right. Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I'm sitting there going, why am I watching this? What happened? Why don't they do the debates anymore? Well, first let me say that's precisely my argument. I feel like on the guy in Groundhog Day, every day is the same thing. It's not only tiresome. It's downright boring. And I think it evolved.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I don't think it happened like from Monday to Tuesday. I think it evolved where they started to realize. And both sides, I mean, our audience doesn't want to hear anything that inconveniences them. They want their own biases, their own values spoken right back to them. They want their own biases and values validated by our hosts and our anchors. And I think the front office, you know this better than I, tell me if I'm wrong. But I think the people who are in charge of the business end of things are now, running the cable news operation and they say, we're not journalists.
Starting point is 00:24:38 We don't care about news. Yeah, fine. No, as long as it sells great. But here's the kicker on it. The factor gets the highest rated by far in cable news history. And no one will ever come close to what we did over a 16-year period. So I disagree with you a little bit. I think that people with a certain point of view are willing in a debate situation.
Starting point is 00:25:02 to see who wins, to see who's got the best argument. Because if they weren't, I wouldn't have dominated for 16 years, last word. The people may be willing to hear both sides in a more nuanced version of the news. You may be right about that. But the people who deliver the news and who get their marching orders from their bosses, they've made a decision. We don't want to do that anymore. Yeah, because it's too hard.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I'll tell you why. It's too hard to do that. Because you've got to be in shape to do that. You've got to think. You've got to have a strong argument to do that. Or you get your butt kicked by somebody smarter on the other side. So why bother with that kind of prep and research what I can just go and bring in to somebody who agrees with me 100%.
Starting point is 00:25:49 That's why. And you're right. You're absolutely right. The bean counters who run it, no journalists in charge anywhere. Okay. They're going, ah, just say what the audience wants to hear and here's your check. Right? That's exactly right. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:26:04 So you disagreed with me. That's exactly right, Bill. That's what I wanted to hear, Bernie. No, but it happens to be. Listen, I've disagreed with you plenty over the years. I know. Everybody knows. Let me say something very briefly that you're not expecting to hear. The most important thing that was done on cable news during the presidential election in 2020 is you put out a memo or a directive that said, I'm not having any political, on the show who represents a candidate because I never did that was revolutionary never did that was revolutionary yeah when I read memo when I got word about that I said I'm
Starting point is 00:26:45 nominating bill O'Reilly for a Nobel prize yes that was really I appreciate it Bernie so check out Bernie's column bernard goldberg dot com and go in there and have fun with Bernie and we always appreciate it, Bernie. Thanks very much. COVID stats. Okay, so you'll remember that I predicted COVID would subside somewhat in the autumn and it has. So a 14-day tracker, cases down 11 percent, USA nationwide, hospitalizations down 17, deaths down 20. Right now, 70 percent of adults in America fully vaccinated, 80 percent have at least one shot under their arm.
Starting point is 00:27:28 20 million Americans have received the booster. So yesterday I got a flu shot. Okay, very easy. He's walked in, pharmacy, pop, pop. And then I'm getting a booster in two weeks. You've got to wait two weeks. So that's my Vax resume. Philadelphia, which is Nutsville.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I just, you know, Philly didn't used to be this way. So they got a mayor, Jim Kenny, far left, Kook. He has banned police from. traffic stops in Philadelphia, his bill, the Driving Equality Act. That means Kenny believes that blacks are stopped way more often than whites, so nobody gets stopped. So, hey, if you want to steal a car in Philadelphia, that might be a good bed. Where to go, Jim?
Starting point is 00:28:21 It's just insane. Safeway and San Francisco used to be open 24-7, now it's not. in San Francisco County and the city, if you steal less than $950 worth of stuff in every instance, they won't prosecute. So what do you think they're doing? What do you think the drug addicts are doing? They're going in there and prosecute me. So Safeway goes, I'm not saying over at night.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And we've already chronicled Walgreens and Target. So you guys living in San Francisco and your million-dollar townhouses, you're not going to have any place to get anything because of this. Now, the city ruined. Hey, today's election day, so I went and I voted. I never tell anybody who I vote for, but I will tell you I voted against the New York State ballot proposal that gave undocumented aliens the right to vote in this state. I went, yeah, you got to earn that vote. Earn it by your birthright, okay, or come here illegally. So I was proud of that vote.
Starting point is 00:29:37 I did vote. I hope you did too. And this could be the end of the progressive momentum. If McCollough loses in Virginia tomorrow, full election coverage here. and we'll have a lot of interesting stuff. Now, in the background of the Biden collapse, all right, the radicals in Congress, the Progressive Caucus, they now say they'll vote for the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. They wouldn't last week, you remember.
Starting point is 00:30:09 We're not vote on that until we get the big one, the 3.5 reconciliation bill, which is just a giveaway. But that's not going to happen because Joe Manchin. in the Senate for West Virginia, he's not going to vote for it. So now it's all the way down to 1-7, but Manchin says they're doing a three-card Monty here. It's going to cost twice as much, and they're just moving stuff around, so he's not going to vote for it as of today. So the Progressive Caucus in the House says, okay, we'll vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, which will probably pass. Okay, in Great Britain, they have a different court system, a better court system.
Starting point is 00:30:51 than we have in America. So there, if you launch a frivolous lawsuit, a judge can say after you lose, you have to pay all the costs. So that cuts down these insane lawsuits. Okay? That's number one. Number two, the penal code, the criminal code in Great Britain is more expansive than here in America because there are fewer people over there. All right? We have four times as many people, I think it might be six times many people as they have in England. So there's a new bill that it's called the online safety bill. It's going to Parliament in December. And it says that if you do psychological harm to someone on the internet, you could go to prison for two years. Wow. So what's psychological harm? Threatening communications, knowingly fall.
Starting point is 00:31:50 communications, pylons, okay, which is a nasty, mean garbage. So here the entire cast of the view would be in the penitentiary, if that passed here. Jake Tapper, he'd be due in time. And because if you go on the internet and you put knowingly false stop on there, here nothing happens to you. Particularly if you're attacking a famous person because famous people have no rights in America. None. In Britain, they don't have that. There's no exception if you are a public figure. So I'm watching this law. What we need here is we don't need criminal statutes. We need civil statutes here, but we need them defined by the law. This is what you can't do to another person
Starting point is 00:32:48 on the net and have a list. And therefore, if a person violates that list, you can sue them civilly. See? And hurt them. But criminal, probably too much. 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 metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free.
Starting point is 00:33:40 With billions in precious metals 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 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5776 or text bill to 998899. All right, Marie Antoinette, heard the name? Have you heard the name? Marie Antoinette. There she is.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Look at the hair on her. Wow. It's like Priscilla Presley in the early days. So 266 years ago today, she was born in Vienna, Austria. This is a fascinating story. Now, everybody or a lot of people have heard about Marie Antoinette. And her famous quote, let them eat cake. All right. So Marie Antoinette was born into the royal family of Austria. She married into the royal family of France. Okay. And she was 14 years. years old when she got married in 1770. She married King Louis Auguste. All right. There is loose. Wow, nice kharata, whatever it is. Okay. So they got married and they had four children and they lived it up. At least Marie Antoinette lived it up. She was addicted to gambling. She was a degenerate gambler. And you just saw it by the outfit, put her up again. I mean, she spent unbelievable amounts of money on herself, all right, on jewelry, on everything.
