Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, January 18th, 2020, Martin Luther King, Federal Holiday. We'll have more on Dr. King later on in this broadcast. Stand up for your country. So my new column on the Trump legacy on Bill O'Reilly.com, get a lot of reaction. And I hope you read it. I hope you take the time out to read. It's an important column.
Starting point is 00:00:38 We're going to deal with some of that a little bit later on. But first, it is inaugural week, so we're going to deal with Joe Biden, who will be president in three days. Wednesday on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the ceremonies get underway at 1130 a.m. where Kamala Harris is sworn in as vice president at noon, Joe Biden will be sworn in. There will be about a thousand people there, mostly members of Biden's administration and other Washington dignitaries. Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and his spouses will attempt the event. Mike Pence will be there, but not Donald Trump. And that's a good thing,
Starting point is 00:01:19 because if President Trump did attend, the press would focus in on him and continue to batter him, and instead of inauguration day, we'd have Social Civil War Day. Okay, so it's never going to stop. Now, Mr. Trump should explain to the American people why he's not attended the inauguration. I believe that would be good for him and the country. I hope he does that, but he has not done it yet. So the press is making a big deal that of all the security arrangements, 25,000 National Guard, as you may know. This is hyping up the quote-unquote potential danger from the right wing.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's bogus. I don't believe there will be any problem of significance throughout the country on Wednesday unless the people causing the problem want to go to the federal penitentiary. Now, maybe there's a few who do. maybe there's people out there in the right wing precincts who want to be sentenced to harsh terms in the federal penitentiary because that's what will happen. All right, the days of allowing violent protests are pretty much coming to an end on both the right and the left in this country. So people have had enough.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Critical mass has been reached. I know you'll say, well, the left wing doesn't get, and it's true. that in many liberal cities, far left, Antifa people ran wild in the summer. We all know it. We all saw it. We're not held accountable. But since the capital situation, that, in my opinion, has ended. And now law enforcement people, whether they be police, whether they be district's attorneys, whatever they may be, if they don't enforce the law, the people will take it out on them. And, you know, it's all about what's good for me in this country.
Starting point is 00:03:18 So that's why I do not believe there's going to be any widespread protests on Wednesday. Might be a few picketers here and there. I don't expect them to be violent because you'll go to the federal penitentiary, as will many of those protesters, looters, thugs, traitors, who broke into the Capitol. There are a lot of them going. And they didn't know when they picked up the Confederate flag in the morning to break a window to go into the Capitol that they're going to spend two or three years
Starting point is 00:03:46 in federal penitentiary. Believe me, they did not know that. Well, they will. All right. So after the inauguration, Lady Gaga, apparently going to sing the national anthem, maybe before Lady Gaga. And then Jennifer Lopez is going to be performing. I hope it doesn't involve a poll. And for those of you why, it's a Super Bowl. I have to have to. show last year. You know what I'm talking about. I don't think we need that here. Maybe a flagpole, but, you know, I hope Ms. Lopez stays away from the poll. Donald Trump will hold a farewell ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base about 8 a.m. He'll thank people, I'm sure, and then he'll fly off to Florida to his club in Maelago. We don't know many.
Starting point is 00:04:42 of the details yet, but I should have all of that tomorrow, and I will, of course, report to you. Now, the challenges for President Biden have already begun, and this is fascinating. So you may have heard that according to the BBC, about 7,000 migrants have gathered together in Honduras and Guatemala to go to the border. We're starting this all over again, all right? And they are doing that because they believe Joe Biden is going to practice an open border policy. So according to NBC News, a spokesman for Biden unidentified, which is what NBC News and the rest of them do, has said to the migrants, this is not a good time to do this. We don't want the first actions of the Biden administration to be 7,000 people crossing into the United States illegally.
Starting point is 00:05:40 But what did you think was going to happen? I mean, these people know what Joe Biden has said about illegal immigration, and the enforcement is going to be far less than it was under President Trump. Everybody knows that. All right, but the big thing is that Trump made an agreement with Mexican President Obrador that Trump would not declare the Mexican cartels terror groups in return for over a door using the Mexican armed forces to stop the caravans. That was the deal.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Secret deal never confirmed by either man, but I know it's true. And that stopped the migration into America by these groups cold. Well, that deal is no longer enforced. Not there anymore. Because Biden would never designate the cartels as terror groups. Not what he does. So now there's no deal. And the people from Central America and Mexico itself can come on up to the border if they
Starting point is 00:06:50 get in, they get in. Now many of them are readying asylum requests. Because Joe Biden, you know, his asylum policy is kind of murky. Roll the tape. We'll have to have a process to ensure everyone's health and safety, including including the safety of asylum seekers, hoping for a new start in the United States, free of violence and persecution.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Come on. That's basically, hey, come on. Everybody in the world, not just in Central America, everybody in the world, everybody in Hong Kong, right? Everybody there. If you get here, you come in. Joe Biden, come on in. And five years.
Starting point is 00:07:42 from now, maybe, maybe we'll get to your case. But in the meantime, you can go and do whatever you want in the USA. That's what he just said. That's what he just said. Hopefully free of persecution. Come on in. So any person in the world can now come into the United States and apply for asylum. Okay? That's number one. Elections of consequences, and for you 80 million plus who voted for Joe Biden, you just voted for chaos. Because when these people come here and many of them are persecuted, many of them are desperate, almost all of them are poor, the American taxpayer is going to pick it up. You heard Biden in the debate say, I'm going to pay for the health care of all illegal immigrants.
Starting point is 00:08:42 can pay for their health care. As soon as they get here, we're going to be paying all their health care bills, we're going to be paying their food stamps, we're going to be paying their housing, we're going to be paying everything. That'll bankrupt the country. Now, you think I'm being dire? I'm not. I'm realistic. If I were a poor person living anywhere in the world, I'd make damn well sure I got to that Mexican border and got over it no matter what I had to do. And I'll show up and I ask for asylum and I'm going to get a hearing five to ten years from now. In the meantime, I can live in the USA. Come on.
Starting point is 00:09:24 That is exactly what's going to happen. Are you telling me that 80 million American voters did not understand that? I'll tell you most of them didn't. But you'll see, you'll mark my words right now. in the next two years we are going to be overwhelmed by foreign nationals. And you border states, Arizona, Nevada, you voted for Joe Biden? Where do you see what's going to happen to your state? Texas, New Mexico, of course.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Anyway, all right. In addition to that, Joe Biden wants to give amnesty to 11 million undocumented people already here. All right. So I'm thinking maybe two, three million going to come in the next year, and then we got 11 million already here. So four people anonymous sources told the AP that Biden's going to introduce legislation to legalize at least 11 million undocumented very, very soon. And again, we'll be paying for all of their health care. I just, I'm sitting here as a loyal American, and I know what's going to happen. I know what's going to happen because there's nothing to stop this.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Biden is not going to enforce the border like Trump did. Not going to make a deal with Obrador to use the Mexican military to stop the caravans. not going to do it because at this juncture in history, the Democratic Party wants as many foreign nationals in this country because most of them will register to vote as Democrats. You've seen the demographic changes in Texas, in Arizona, in Nevada, in California, particularly California. In New York City, where I am, 50% of the workforce is. the city is foreign-born. 50%. And you wonder why you have no Republican Party? In New York State, it does not exist. It does not exist in California. Texas is the big thing. The Democrats
Starting point is 00:11:53 want to turn it blue. And you do that by flooding the state with people sympathetic to the Democratic party. Okay. In addition to the immigration chaos, and I'll be on this, like no one will be in this country, I will report to you directly anything that happens in this area. So Iran is going to challenge Biden right off the bat. Already's did. Iranian boats surrounded an American submarine in the Persian Gulf on January 14th, Biden's president. So you're going to see provocations from Iran. You will see provocations from China, but I don't know what they will be. Also, Putin will provoke.
Starting point is 00:12:45 They're going to stick Biden, stick them, all right? See what he's got. See what he says. See what he does. Iran, China, Putin. Big three. North Korea I don't know about yet because a lot of chaos inside that country and we don't really know. All right, now a lot of you have written to me and said, why is gas gone up here on Long Island?
Starting point is 00:13:11 And let me correct myself, I'm 20 miles outside of New York City. But where I live on Long Island, a gallon of gas is now 10 cents more expensive than it was a week ago. One gallon's gone up 10 cents. so people go, well, why? Why do you think? Biden is going to attack fossil fuels. Going to shut down pipelines. He's going to do everything he can to hurt the fossil fuel and oil industries. They know that. They know that their expenses and everything else, the fossil fuel industry is going up and they won't be able to do as much business. So they're raising the prices in advance of that. And we're paying. Again, did the 80 million people who voted for Joe Biden not
Starting point is 00:13:57 know that? Okay. So summing up, Joe Biden's big day is Wednesday, 46 president of the United States. I congratulate Mr. Biden. I congratulate him. In a million years, I never would have voted for him, not because of ideology. I don't care whether he's a Democrat or an independent or a Republican or a libertarian. I could not care less. But I, as an American citizen, knew if he won, the economy would be hurt, which it will be, and immigration will go insane, which it will. And the unintended consequences of both of the of those things, the economy and immigration, will hurt every single one of us. You mark my words. Now, don't go outside and be depressed because it's only two years. In two years, big congressional
Starting point is 00:15:06 elections, and Biden can be stopped, and his agenda can be stopped, partially. But it's not like this is in stone forever. But the damage done in two years, unless Joe Biden proves me wrong, which he could. But what are the odds of that, really? What are the odds of that? Let's bring in David Petrusia. I know I said his name wrong because I am an idiot and can't say complicated names. He is a historian. He's coming up from Scotia, New York, upstate. and he knows Joe Biden really, really well. So I want to get very specific, David. Why is Joe Biden president?
Starting point is 00:15:53 What's the one big reason he's being inaugurated on Wednesday? Ambition. He wants it. He's wanted it since grade school, since putting it in writing to the nun. And he's continued that way. You know, there's a story about Huey Long saying to his first wife, that I'm going to get elected to the Senate at the age of 30 or governor, and then I'm going to become president.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And this is when they're courting, and he's a nobody. And it's the same story with Joe Biden. He has had this ambition his whole life, and he has had a persistence. He's had to put things kind of on hold many times when his campaign will crash and burn because of plagiarism or exaggerating his academic stance. endings, or because when he was on the shelf for seven months because of health problems a long time in the Senate years ago, or being on the shelf as essentially the wing man or yes man to Barack Obama, promising that he wouldn't run in 2016 or presumably ever again, but then gearing up because the ambition never died. Never underestimate a man who wants something very, very badly. and who will do anything to get it. Why did Hillary Clinton get the nomination said of Joe Biden in 16, in your opinion?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Well, in 2012, a Biden was nearly dumped. They were doing polling to see if a switch, you know, it's like, Joe, get out from the vice presidency. This was akin to Nixon in 1956, where he was almost dumped from the ticket. And he was offered a cabinet post, not even secretary of, state. But, you know, they thought they could maybe do better with Hillary on the ticket as a woman and what was Joe bringing to the ticket. And eventually they found out it's a wash because it often is with vice presidents. Okay. So there wasn't great enthusiasm for Joe Biden after Barack Obama left office. Hillary Clinton got it. And now four years later, Biden's back and
Starting point is 00:18:08 Biden gets nominated. Now, in our pre-interview, you made an interesting statement. You said, like Warren Harding, the infamous Warren Harding, his wife poisoned him, Biden was the available man, the available man. What does that mean? Well, that was a title of a biography about Harding. And when all the frontrunners and all the bigger guys beat themselves to a pulp in 1920, Harding stepped forward as being the acceptable choice. and Biden became the acceptable choice in 2020 because the others were for some reason or other not acceptable.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And the guy who was really most not acceptable to the Democratic Party and leadership and the big shots was Bernie Sanders. So Biden becomes the non-Bernie Sanders, the anti-Bernie Sanders, and that gives him the nomination. And then you fast forward to the general election and, well, he is the anti-Donald Trump, the non-Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And it really is a referendum on Trump at that point, particularly with the COVID and being in the basement. No doubt about it. If COVID hadn't hit Trump, I think, would have been reelected. Did Joe Biden do anything extraordinary in all his years in the Senate? Well, he was noted for all sorts of. of things that would not normally get you the nomination in the very progressive times of the Democratic Party in 2020. He is Mr. Anti-Buscing as much as any national politician in the country. And then he's obsessively anti-crime, anti-drug.
Starting point is 00:20:01 A lot of this talk now we're hearing about mass incarceration and harsh penalties and mandatory sentences and bail forfeitures and all sorts of things like that these are Biden brainstorms and he's beating the drum on this during the Reagan administration and the Reagan administration is saying no no no no no these things are too tough that you're going too far here but this was this is another thing the Biden persona where he's the tough guy he's his swaggering you know the guy who confronts you when you ask a question of a rally and insults your IQ or insults you. And this is a scary thing.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I think this is a scary thing for foreign policy, which you were talking about. How is that going to, you know, Trump had his bluster, but when it came to, you know, firing the first shot against the foreign power, he was never going to do it. He was actually very pacifistic.
Starting point is 00:20:59 But what will Biden do and what will other people do in response to him? A lot of wars are, you know, because of miscalculation. Yes, but Biden didn't want to get, Biden changed on everything. He's changed his opinion on abortion, on crime, as you pointed out, on everything. And Biden didn't even want to get bin Laden. He didn't even want to do that raid.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I'm not worried about that so much. Final question is something I am worried about. It looks to me like Joe Biden has had a cognitive decline. I'm not a doctor, and I don't believe he's as out of it. as some conservative commentators would have you believe. He looks to me to be cogent. He was at the debates with Trump, but it looks to me like he's not really in charge of a day-to-day point of view. I have said to my audience, I believe the Obama administration and President Obama himself will be suggesting a lot of things to Joe Biden. Do you see it that way?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Well, they had a good personal relationship at the end, even though, and Biden was, you know, begging, begging for an Obama endorsement. I think he craves his favor. I think he will listen to him a lot. And, you know, how far gone is he cognitively? I mean, we're going to see it. 78, whether you go in strong, you know, it's a crapshoot. So it could very well be when you start out. as on the bubble not good at all but they'll keep them in the basement we won't even know because the press won't report it accurately david thanks very much we really appreciate it uh your point of view and uh helping us out today thanks again all right so if you're president of united states you get a lot of stuff and it was an article in men's health magazine um and it lists all the perks i just want to run a few of them down for you me you might not know that obviously the president gets a plane, big plane. And one of the most interesting parts of my career was I got to ride that plane when I was researching in the United States of Trump with
Starting point is 00:23:16 Donald Trump. And it's a fascinating thing. So they get the big plane. Then they get to live in a White House, which is amazingly luxurious. And every time I've been in there in my mouth just goes, wow. I mean, any place in the world that I'd want to live, it would be the White House. I don't want to be present. I just want to live there. All right. Then they get their own vacation home Camp David. Camp David. I'd rather be in Malibu someplace, but that's all right. Then they get an executive chef to cook all their meals at any time of the day or night. They've got two or three rotating chefs. But if you're hungry at 4 a.m., hey, here it is. You get an omelet. Then they get hired help. A hundred people work directly for the president,
Starting point is 00:24:01 including maids, cooks, butlers, plumbers, engineers, florists, anything you want. You get a button on their desk, the resolute desk in the Oval Office. You push that button, people instantly appear, yes, Mr. President. So one of the funny parts in the United States of Trump is that Trump used that button a lot because he always wanted Diet Coke, up to 24 Diet Coke a day. that button. Trump's finger must be muscular from president. But he gets $400,000 a year in salary, the president does. And he gets a pension. Barack Obama last year got $208,000 in a pension. All right. So this is a good gig, this presidential thing. This is good. And you get a vacation
Starting point is 00:24:56 allowance, take your family in where you want, get a clothing allowance. nice suits and ties and shirts. It's a good gig. Okay, so the media is absolutely thrilled this week. And by the way, there's been a lot of press about the decline of Fox News, the ratings decline there, and it's pretty serious. But MSNBC and CNN, they're direct competitors. They're doing all right now.
Starting point is 00:25:25 But once Biden takes over and there's no Trump, although they'll hate Trump every night anyway, no matter what Trump's going to be a private citizen and still hate them, their ratings are going to go down too, though they're all going down because it's boring now, except for us. We're going up a lot. So the media is now openly rooting for Joe Biden. They have a vested interest in his success. And they're not going to say anything bad about them because they worked with the Democratic Party to get Biden elected. You need to know that, which is why our broadcast becomes more important. Number one, we're not ideological.
Starting point is 00:26:09 We're fact-based, and you need to know the facts. And you ain't going to get them from the network or cable news agencies. Okay, roll a tape on wanting Biden to succeed. I am truly excited to watch Joe Biden and Kamala Harris become the next president and vice president of the United States. meeting Biden where he's always been. Now, luckily, the current administration is only the current administration for another five days, because next Wednesday, the keys to the country will be handed over to
Starting point is 00:26:41 President-elect Joe Biden. Now, I used Colbert because he's the number one late-night show, but his ratings are abysmal. I mean, they're terrible if you compare them to Jay Leno and Johnny Carson. I mean, then I'm in close. But the reason Colbert is beating Fallon and Kimmel, whose ratings are beyond belief low, is because he bashed Trump every night and he hates Trump. Now that's going to go away to some extent. He's still going to bash and hate him, but it doesn't matter anymore because he's not there. Where do you see what happens to Colbert?
Starting point is 00:27:19 Okay. So is there a mandate for Joe Biden? This is the most important question of the week, of this inaugural. week. Is there a mandate? He won by 7 million votes. Now, you can say there was shenanigans and some fraud, and I believe there was, but not at that level, not at 7 million. Okay? So Biden wins 7 million more votes than Donald Trump in a popular, and it obviously beats him in the electoral. In the United States here are 3,06 counties. So I live in Nassau County, and you live in some county. That's the way we're broken down. Donald Trump won 2,497 counties throughout the
Starting point is 00:28:05 USA. 84% of the counties went for Trump. Biden won just 16%. Now when Obama won the second time, Biden won 22% of the counties. So Biden lost 6% from Obama. The source of all this is the Brookings Institute. So when you have Donald Trump winning 84% of all the counties in America, that doesn't bode well for Joe Biden. The Biden won all the cities which are falling apart. I mean, you give me the city, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Atlanta, It's Armageddon, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, but Biden won all the votes there. And that's why he's president. Now, DeRoy Murdoch is a writer and smart guy, I think.
Starting point is 00:29:14 He and I wrote a column at the same time, almost simultaneously, about the Trump legacy. So what Trump did well in his four years, because you're never going to get this. is from the mainstream media. So let's just run it down. I think this is instructive. All right. So, you know that Donald Trump cut corporate taxes. That was the big thing. Brought the corporate tax down to 21%. Biden says he's going to raise it. That stimulated corporations spending more money expanding their business. And when you expand your business, you hire more people, more jobs were created, lowest unemployment rate, lowest for minorities, all of that. All right. Median income, the most important stat, goes up to close to $70,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:30:09 All right. Wages grew in 2019, for example, 3.6%. Way more than inflation. So on the economic front, Trump was very successful. And if anybody tells you that's not true, they are lying to you. Secondly, energy. And again, you know, we're seeing energies go up. That's going to continue to happen because Biden's going to attack fossil fuel. Well, the United States is now energy independent. We don't have to buy from OPEC.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And we export energy bringing money into this country. It's going to stop, okay, under Biden. On the mass incarceration level, Trump was pretty liberal. I mean, he did a whole bunch of things to free up people who were in prison for a long period of time who may have been unjustly sentenced. He did that. Then on the VA front, he totally reorganized the Veterans Administration and gave veterans the right to use doctors in hospitals of their choice. Tremendous, tremendous improvement there.
Starting point is 00:31:22 All right. You know about the border wall, about 500 miles of it. We went over this on the top of the program. He made a deal with Overdor to stop the caravans and all of that. So 53 percent from 2019 to 2020 drop in people illegally crossing our border. Fifty three percent. Some of that was COVID, but most of it was Mexican Army. ISIS. Trump destroyed it. All right. So Al-Baghdadi got it right in the head. Soleimani, the Iranian terrorist, got it. Where's ISIS? When was the last time you heard about ISIS? Under Obama, ISIS ran wild. Obama Biden. Okay, did that. Israel signed four peace accords with Arab states. Now, does that influence you? No. but it's good for the world to have peace between Arab states and Israel. Is it not? I think so. That was Trump. China. That's a mixed bag because we don't know how much Donald Trump's trade war, tariff, whatever you want to call it, affected China. They'll never tell us the truth. But Trump was not soft on China. Biden will be. You wait and see.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Operation Warps Speed, vaccine in less than a year against COVID? Who does that? That's almost a miracle. The unfortunate part is we had the vaccine and the government, federal, state, and local can't get it to us. What else is new? Big government. The scientists developed the vaccine because the feds are paying Pfizer and the others a bloody fortune. so the scientists did their job and now we can't even get it to the folks because government
Starting point is 00:33:20 never works on that level. Big government. Okay, NBC poll. In general, do you approve or disapprove the job Donald Trump is doing? This is an outgoing poll. I was staggered. 43% said they approve. 55 don't. That's NBC rigged. Rigged again. Trump. Total, that was asked in October before all the madness. Trump is at 45 then approval, 52 disapproved. So Trump's only lost two points, according to NBC. Rasmussen Daily tracking is 48% of likely U.S. voters approving a job performance of Trump's job performance today. 51% disapproved. So all of this madness didn't hurt him in these polls. All right, the American thinker is a conservative website on the net, of course, and it has had to apologize to the Dominion
Starting point is 00:34:22 voting machine people. Quote, these pieces that the American thinker ran relied on discredited sources who have peddled debunk theories about Dominion's supposed ties of Venezuela, fraud on Dominion's machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently. Okay, that's all I'm going to use on this. So this website, because they're being threatened with a lawsuit, as is Sidney Powell, the attorney, she's already been sued. They're back in a way.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I told you from the very beginning. You cannot believe stuff on the Internet. You can't, even if it plays into your core belief system. So Dominion is getting all these people. to say, yeah, there really wasn't a lot of Ford, fraud in the election. You see, you know. All right, I'm going to do, I put this story off for three days, and now I'm going to have to put it off for another day.
Starting point is 00:35:28 But it's about an illegal alley in California who killed a young woman who had been deported 10 times, but I don't have the time to do it today. I'm going to do it tomorrow. I promise. I have it here. I promise. CBS poll, as you see it, the biggest threat to American way of life comes from other people in America, 54%. There's your civil war. Economic forces, 20%.
Starting point is 00:35:55 The natural disaster, that's global warming, 17, foreign countries 8. Isn't that interesting? But most Americans think their neighbors are the biggest threat to the country. Fascinating. This day in history, Martin Luther King was born. He's actually born on January 15th. All right, there's Dr. King. Now, I get a lot of people saying,
Starting point is 00:36:16 are you gonna write Killing King, a killing book about Martin Luther King? Here's why I cannot do that at this point, because the FBI is sealed, its classified information, all the files on Martin Luther King until 2027, six years from now. So whatever you hear about Dr. King cannot be verified.
Starting point is 00:36:37 He was assassinated, all know that. All right, James Earl Ray did it, That is a murky story. How did Ray get to London? How did he get to Canada? All of that. Okay? Now, Dr. King himself was a hero. But if you read Killing Kennedy, and I hope you do, if you really want to know the truth about Martin Luther King, the Kennedy brothers, and your country. Martin Luther King, in his personal life, had some problems. I'm not going to go over them today on the federal holiday. I will tell you that no man is perfect, that all of us are sinners, and Martin Luther King, Jr. was. But he was a towering figure for peace and justice. And there's no question he was. I know more about Martin Luther King, Jr. than most human beings know. And I wrote truthfully about him in Killing Kennedy. You might want to check that out. So we admire Dr. King. We wish there was African American leadership at his level today in this country. We fervently wish that. All right, quick break. We'll be back with some mail. And then a final thought, some advice

Starting point is 00:39:40 Many of us are worried that our 401ks and retirement savings, everything we worked for over a lifetime, could evaporate. With all the fake news, it's important to have an independent expert in our corner to preserve and grow our savings. It's simple. So please meet Silicon Valley Angel investor and 5G expert, Jeff Brown, of Brownstone Research, whose only obligation is to us, to you. His newsletter, The Near Future Report, shares his analysis on where the stock market is going and when, which stocks are poised to rise and fall, and new ways to profit from the exploding tech market.
Starting point is 00:40:23 His track record is amazing, so please go to Bill5G.com. It's easy. Bill 5G.com. You will thank me. Okay, let's start the mail with Joyce Ferrelli. Cincinnati. In the Court of Public Opinion, we don't need compelling evidence the election was rigged. You yourself, Bill, admit there was fraud. The Democrats felt the election was honest. Why did they fight so hard on allowing audits and investigations if the Democrats thought the election was honest? There was no upside for Democrats to go in and investigate the election. They already won't. And if fraud was uncovered, that would embarrass the party. Would it not? So that's why they didn't do it or won't do it ever. Lisa Wood, Kansas City. What do you think about what they are doing to Josh Hawley in Missouri?
Starting point is 00:41:15 Should I be concerned? I'm going to be canceled next. Holly's under big fire. I think that will dissipate. I think Missouri will stand behind the senator. I hope so. John. Senator manages comments about expelling Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley from the Senate are beyond disappointing.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Anyone who thinks that Cruz and Holly were trying to start or aid insurrections, a total moron. moron. I agree. I agree 100%. Jennifer, why would someone explain? Would someone explain to me why so many Republican senators and representatives aren't supportive impeachment? Only 10 congressmen from the Republican side crossed. That's not a lot. Senate will see. And that's what my column is all about. Mitch McConnell, all of that. Please read the column, Title of Trump legacy. Massachusetts, why won't President Trump's lawyers file a suit, alleging the House impeachment was conducted in an unconstitutional manner? Because they lose. They followed the rules.
Starting point is 00:42:17 I mean, it was wrong to do it, in my opinion, but they follow the rules. Carolyn, Nancy Pelosi is just a puppet who is really behind the campaign to get Trump impeached. Nancy Pelosi, she's behind it. Yes, does she put her finger to the wind? Absolutely. But she's behind it. Lawrence McCoy, Columbus, Indiana. The canceled culture, very powerful, has reached critical mass.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Free speech is lost. Not forever. But I think critical masses, as you pointed out, Lawrence, absolutely reached, and I think there's going to be a tremendous backlash against the freedom of speech oppressors. Kelly, power is never a good thing. Thank you for honest reporting and never wavering from honesty, even when it isn't easy.
Starting point is 00:43:01 You are the only news we trust. Thank you, Kelly. Appreciate that. Naomi Caryon, Littes, Pennsylvania. Bill, every year I give my now 90-year-old Navy veteran a new book. I guess that's a husband. This year, I gave him a signed copy of Killing Crazy Ours. He said it was the best book he's ever read, and he reads a lot.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Killing Crazy Ours is an excellent book. I hope you will take the time to get it and read it. And on that note, and thank you, Naomi.

Starting point is 00:43:57 All right. And I have a letter here from Flo Valdez, coming Georgia. It's my birthday. Can you give us a positive word of the day? Absolutely flow. Happy birthday and try to be perspicacious in everything you do. P-E-R-S, P-E-R-S, P-I-C, A-C, I-O-U-S, perspicacious. Back in a moment with the final thought.

Starting point is 00:45:41 I am knocking out the BS. I've had it. I'm not going to watch news programs where I don't learn anything. That's my litmus test. Am I learning something? Are you giving me something I don't know? I don't care anymore about opinions on either side. If you back up opinion with facts, and I don't know the facts, I will watch and listen.
Starting point is 00:46:06 And I will like doing that. But no more endless panels, people there, what do they say, who are there, your life will be so much better. All right. Exercise. Take a walk. Read a book. Call somebody up and have a nice conversation. Go shopping. Anything. But if you cut out the BS out of your life, you'll be a much happier person. See you tomorrow.
