Hey Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News, September 9th, Thursday, 2021, stand up for your country.
So, President Biden, tough guy, tough guy today on his COVID speech.
It is important that you understand the difference between my fact-based information that I'm about to give you,
and then my analysis of that fact-based information, which comes after.
So some of our viewers and listeners are conflating when I report something and saying, I endorse it or I...
No. I'm going to lay out the facts, and then I'm going to analyze the facts.
That's how we always do it.
But on COVID, because it's so emotional, I want you to know that.
Okay.
So, President Biden gives a speech, and he essentially says, I'm writing an executive order
that commands all federal employees, including the military, to get vaccinated for COVID.
About 2.5 million civilian employees and then the rest of the military.
There will be exceptions, but very minor exceptions.
Okay.
Now, the president has a right under the Constitution to do that.
Maybe it'll be challenged, but they'll lose.
So because the President of the United States, the highest ranking officer in this country,
anyone who works for him in the federal government,
and that includes a military because he's commander-in-chief, has to follow his orders.
That's as simple as it gets.
So if you work for the feds, if you're in the military, you've got to get vaxed.
And if you don't, they'll suspend you.
Now, I don't think you're going to pay you either.
I think they're going to let you go, like United Airlines announced today,
that if you don't get vaxed, you're on unpaid leave.
I think that the feds will do.
So the remarks basically are to position Joe Biden in a way.
that he can take credit for COVID declining.
Now, in the Wall Street Journal today, there's a front page article that says that's already
happening, that it's reached its high point in the South and Florida and Texas.
And that's because more people are getting vaccinated.
So the more people that get vaccinated, the lower the cases are.
And, you know, I know the anti-vaxxers that you're going to dispute that.
it's nothing I can say. That's the data, the medical data, not only in the United States.
Okay, now I know you'll say, well, what about Israel? And I, I can't. I can't get into the weeds on this.
I can only tell you that the medical data being reported by the federal government in the United States is beyond any doubt.
The more people that have vaxed, the lower the transmission of COVID.
Of course, for our receptions.
All right.
So if you don't believe the federal government's data, what can I say?
All right, move to another country.
If you don't trust our system here, why would you want to live here?
I don't know.
I'm not saying America, love it or leave it.
I'm saying if you just don't believe anything coming out of the federal or state apparatus,
you've got to get out.
You got to go someplace else.
And I'm not saying you should.
I'm just saying, if that's the case, why would you stay?
All right.
So President Biden knows that he is perceived as being weak, and now he wants to be the anti-COVID warrior.
That's what this is all about.
It's not about COVID, really, because it will get under control, as I told you, two months ago.
It's going to start to subside.
because there are, and I'll give you the stat in a moment,
hundreds of millions of Americans who are vaccinated.
But it's important for you to know why this is happening today.
So the cumulative effect of Biden's executive order,
his speech today, tough guy Joe,
is that if you remain unvaccinated,
your life will be hell in America.
You're not going to be able to do.
much in the next six months to a year.
Private companies are going to say we want you vaxed.
So you want to go to a game or a show or whatever.
It's going to take a while and not every state, not every state will do it, but most will.
And if you are employed by a corporation, you can count on you better get vax or you have
to work from home or you're on unpaid leave like United Airlines.
So I just want you to think ahead.
That is what is coming.
The signal is, if you are unvaxed, you are un-American.
Now, I don't believe that, but that's what the signal coming from the White House is.
You're putting everybody at risk.
Okay.
Now, the kids.
So, as we reported yesterday, the COVID transmission rate among children is rocketing.
And soon the CDC, the federal agency in charge of monitoring medicines for safety and effectiveness
will say children can get vaccinated under 12. That's coming. It's already here for 12 to 18,
but only 15% of Americans age 12 to 18 are vaccinated. Okay. So the little kids, the younger kids,
they're going to be able to get that backs shortly.
Once that happens, and the schools in many, many states,
New York, California, Illinois, blue states,
are going to say, you can't go to class unless you're vaccinated.
That's what's going to happen.
Just, again, thinking ahead.
So you can learn remotely, in effect, being homeschooled by strangers,
but you can't come in.
Coming.
The justification for all of this is very, very simple, which is why the court cases will fail.
So say somebody decides to sue the federal government or an individual state or a school district or whatever.
This one stat put out by the federal government will wreck those lawsuits, I predict.
And that stat is between January 1st and August 30th of this year.
99% of hospital emissions are unvaccinated people for COVID.
99% of all the people who went into every hospital coast to coast, all right, with a COVID diagnosis, were unvaccinated.
That's it. That proves at public safety, all right, in an emergency situation, which this is.
will allow President Biden, the individual states, to do these kinds of things, to mandate,
and companies as well. But companies can do it without that stat. And here's another stat.
In the same period of time, January 1st, 2021 to August 30th, all right?
99% of the people who died from COVID, did not have full vaccination. 99%.
Now, that stat, I don't believe. And I'll tell you why.
Because not all states are reporting to the CDC.
It's haphazard.
Most states are, but there are some stragglers.
So I would say it's over 95% who have died,
but that's a little shaky to me.
And I'm trying to be as fair as I can.
And all the information that I've given you
from the beginning of this pandemic has been accurate.
Every single piece of information
and no spin-hous but out there's been accurate.
Okay, so 173 million Americans have been fully vaccinated.
There are 340 million of us in this country.
So more than 50% fully vaccinated.
But that includes J&JVax, which is only a 60% protection.
Moderna and Pfizer over 90.
Will there be booster shots?
yes, there will be. I don't know when, but they're going to come. It's going to be like the flu.
So let's sum up what we have here because it's very important for your life. It really is
very important that you see the reality of what's happening. All right. Overwhelming evidence
that only the vaccine will collapse COVID. There's nothing else that will collapse it. So
if you don't get vaccinated, you're at risk.
It's going to be around.
It's not if, it's when you get COVID.
Biden wants to be a tough guy
because he knows that he's getting his butt kicked
in the job performance polls,
and he knows how foolish he looked.
Now, when I say he knows, Dave told him.
Okay?
Is Joe Biden capable of independent analysis
on himself? No. But, you know, they said this did not work out for us in Afghanistan. So now
you've got to be tough guy, Joe, and defeat COVID. Couldn't defeat the Taliban, but you got to
defeat COVID. And finally, the more people that get vaccinated, the better the United States
of America will be. And that's my opinion. All right, I'm telling you that. And I have said
that from the very beginning. All right, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bring it on. But I've given you,
I think, the best, clearest and most fair analysis of where we stand on COVID, of anybody
reporting in this country. Civics poll. I don't know about this poll, but again, I'll give it to you.
More than 98,000 online respondents. Whenever I see online, I go, okay.
Joe Biden job approval. So they broke it down to six states that are battleground states. And I think this is fascinating. I don't know whether it's accurate, but I think it's fascinating. Throw Arizona up there first. So Arizona was won by what, 10,000 votes by Biden? It was very, very close. Right now, only 42% of Arizona's approve of President Biden's job performance. 45 disapprove.
Texas, not a state that likes Joe Biden.
Trump won it by more than five points.
Approved 38%, disapprove a whopping 58%.
So those of you thinking that Texas is going to turn blue, I don't think so.
Georgia, another 10,000 voter for Biden, approved 38, disapproved 53 in Georgia.
Florida, approve 40%, disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance, 53%.
Trump won Florida by three percentage points, North Carolina.
Approved Joe Biden, 40%, 40%, disapprove 53.
Trump won North Carolina by just one percentage point.
And finally, Pennsylvania, the big one, all right, 41% approve a whopping 51% of citizens
and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance,
according to this poll.
Biden won by three percentage points there.
So you can see, and Joe Biden can see,
if they have a big, big chart that they can wheel in to the Oval Office and say,
hey, this is really not going our way now, not only in the overall where it's low 40s,
his job approval rating, but in these six vital states, you're getting your butt kicked.
and that's why the COVID thing is so much.
Now here's the story that is a really disturbing story.
So Joe Biden is firing 18 Trump appointed members of U.S. military service academic boards.
And we're talking about West Point Air Force, Naval Academy, and others.
Okay, so they're a board of directors.
There are two big names, and I'm going to concentrate on them.
Kelly Ann Conway, former Trump advisor, is on the board of the Air Force Academy, and Sean Spicer, a veteran, all right, who served his country bravely and nobly, is on the board of the Naval Academy, Annapolis, and Maryland.
Okay, so Biden fired them all because this is malicious. So this is malice, Joe Biden. And then people said, well, what are you doing that? I mean, there's no reason to do that. They're one of six.
six board of directors, why are you firing him? Just to be mean? Here's what Jen Saki replied.
I will let others evaluate whether they think Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer and others were
qualified or not political to serve on these boards. But the president's qualification
requirements are not your party registration. They are whether you're qualified to serve and
whether you're aligned with the values of this administration. So Sean Spicer, who
certainly qualified to be on the board of the Naval Academy and former spokesperson for Donald
Trump. He got pretty angry about this on Newsmax. Go. You know, we've got some breaking
news tonight. All Trump appointees, including myself, have been kicked off the boards at the
United States Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and West Point in an unprecedented move by the Biden
administration. I'm announcing tonight for the first time that I will not be submitting my
resignation and I will be joining a lawsuit to fight this okay so good i'm glad that there'll be a
lawsuit i don't think that uh mr spicer and others will win the lawsuit because again
the commander-in-chief is joe biden and he's in charge of the military academies however
morally this is wrong it's absolutely wrong there's nothing good about this and again in
Biden's diminished state, he can't tell right from wrong anymore, in my opinion, my humble
opinion. All right. So Spicer and the others should sue so everybody in America knows
how malicious this is. Okay, 9-11 Saturday, right? And we went over the, we went over the
ceremonies yesterday. So President Biden, First Lady, Barack Obama.
Michelle Obama, all come in New York, George W. Bush, given a speech in Pennsylvania, and other dignitaries
will be marking the 20th anniversary of 9-11. However, Donald Trump is doing an entertainment venue that
evening. He's doing fight analysis in Florida, okay, at the Hard Rock Cafe. I don't think this is a good
look for Mr. Trump, but, you know, that's my opinion. It's 9-11. But he's doing it. So predictably,
the late night guys, well done, go. In Saturday, it happens to be the 20th anniversary of the
attack on 9-11. On Saturday, President Bush will visit a memorial to 9-11 in Pennsylvania. President
Obama will visit the 9-11 Memorial in New York.
President Biden plans to visit all three crash sites.
Donald Trump will be at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
This is not a joke, doing live in-person commentary for a boxing match.
Trump is going to do ringside commentary for a boxing match in Florida.
Even Rudy Giuliani took a break from Cameo to say, this is kind of sad.
You know, Trump is going to do boxing commentary.
It was like he wasn't even president,
and his life just picked up right where it left off.
The fight is at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida.
It'll be crazy when Trump walks through the door
and the casino instantly goes bankrupt.
Okay, so it's fair a game.
But the problem is they don't do that to the left.
They don't do that to Biden.
And you could do that all day to long to Biden.
And as a result, Jimmy Kimmel's program has declined,
to less than 2 million viewers and this is an astounding statistic the tonight show
wants the home of johnny carson j leno now gets 1.2 million viewers
1.2 million and that's because traditional conservative republican americans is not going to watch
them okay go about to california the recall vote is tuesday all the heavy hitter
and Democratic side going out to try to convince Democrats in California to keep Gavin Newsom in
office. We have two sound bites. We'll start with Barack Obama and end with Vice President
Harris. Go. Hello, Californians. You've got a big choice to make by September 14th.
Governor Newsom has spent the past year and a half protecting California communities. Now Republicans
are trying to recall him from office and overturn common sense COVID-Safe.
measures for health care workers and school staff.
This recall campaign is about California and it's about a whole lot more.
They think if they can win in California, they can do this anywhere.
Well, we will show them you're not going to get this done.
Not here, never.
Okay, I can't call the race now.
I had predicted early on that Newsom would be recalled that the voters in California boot him out.
It's been terrible governor, there's no doubt about it.
But the big money has gone in.
And now, if Democrats can mobilize their folks, because they outnumber Republicans, I think, four or five to one in California, they can keep them.
So I can't predict it.
Vote next Tuesday.
We'll be all over it.
Now, here's an evil story.
You know, evil, I say this occasionally.
Evil is present in the world.
And the battle is between good and evil.
Unfortunately, most people don't participate in that battle.
You'll remember that 98 people were killed when a condominium collapsed in Surveside Florida, that's North Miami Beach.
You'll remember it was a terrible, awful thing.
They were sleeping and the whole building went down.
Well, three people in Florida have been arrested for obtaining credit and debit cards from the deceased and running up a tab of $45,000.
Three people are Betsy Medina, Rodney Chote, Kimberly Johnson.
all in their 30s and they are charged with grand theft and if they're guilty and I hope they
do time but how evil is that how evil is that okay you may know the name Martin Dugard
you know that name does that ring a bell well he is my co-author on the killing series
all 10 of the killing books O'Reilly Dugard
books are the most successful non-fiction book series of all time. Nineteen million copies of
our books in print. Okay, 19 million. That's a lot. And what people don't know is that
Dugard, when he's not working with me, he writes his own books. And he has a new one out
called Taking Paris the Epic Battle for the City of Lights World War II book. In the past,
Marty's written The Explorers about Africa.
He has written The Last Voyage of Columbus.
He's written a Civil War book, Grant Lee Sherman Davis, all that.
Now, again, his new book is Taking Paris.
It's out this week.
And I talked to my partner yesterday.
Roll the tape.
So, DeGuard, this City of Lights, the epic battle for the City of Lights.
It's going to be a big bestseller, you know why?
Because my name is on your cover.
My name with an endorsement, yeah.
I mean, forget about Churchill.
I know you got Churchill on the cover.
You got a little Eiffel Tower thing, but my name is on a cover.
Man, that's going to sell.
You know, I read your book.
For anybody who likes history of World War II history, and, you know, if you read Killing
Patton and DeGuard is a co-author of me on Killing Patton, you know that France, you know that
was a very intense part of World War II,
but a lot of people just don't know the nuts and bolts.
What was the most fascinating thing for you
that you found out writing this book?
I think it was the rise of the resistance.
Going into the book, I didn't know much about the French resistance,
and I didn't know that it was just an organic group of people,
people with no military skills, no weaponry,
who trained themselves to be saboteurs,
to train themselves to defeat the Germans,
at the risk of their lives. I mean, I detail several of the public executions where German
soldiers would stand 10 feet away in a firing squad and shoot these people dead. And all they wanted
was freedom and liberty. Yeah, that Klaus Barbie boy, that Nazi Gestapo guy, he was in charge
of tracking down a lot of those resistance people. And he was successful, unfortunately,
and a lot of it. And that's just harrowing. I wanted to ask you, the Nazis treated the French
and the Western Europeans
a lot differently
than they treated the Eastern Europeans,
the Poles, Ukrainians.
Why was that, do you think?
Well, Hitler saw Paris
as the crown jewel of his
new Nazi empire, and he wanted to make sure
the people of Paris felt appreciated.
When he went into Warsaw, he
leveled the city. He publicly
executed tons of people.
Literally, if you were
intellectual, if you were a communist,
If you were gay, you were dead.
And then they knocked down cathedrals.
They just basically destroyed the country.
Whereas with Paris, the Parisians made it in open city.
So the Germans literally just marched in.
Hitler himself toured Paris afterwards looking at all the priceless works of art.
And then he plundered the city, taking a lot of those works of art back with him to Germany.
But he largely wanted to make sure Paris was the vacation spot for all of his soldiers during their leave from the front.
So you would have Nazi soldiers go to Paris, take the train to Paris.
So direct from the front, walk around the city with cameras around their necks and really enjoy the city like tourists.
Yeah, so he didn't, and he did the same thing in Rome as well.
He didn't destroy Rome.
So when the Germans who were at the front fighting, they needed a break, they went to Paris.
And that led to a rise of a lot of collaboration with the brothels and, you know, what soldiers, unfortunately, sometimes do.
you don't get into that too much,
but you did say there was a lot of collaboration
between some French and the Nazis,
whereas it was the resistance and the collaborators.
Now, after the Nazis got kicked out of there,
the French went after the collaborators with a vengeance, correct?
You know, it was kind of unequal because, yes, they did, first of all.
You know, women who were prostitutes or who, you know,
50,000 women in Paris gave birth to a German child during the war. So it's not like it was an
isolated incident. And it was strange that during the war, nobody talked about being a member of the
resistance because that could get you killed. But after the, so a lot of people are too afraid to be
part of the resistance. But, and they would prefer to be a cab collaborator because I would get the more
food that would get them maybe a better place to sleep at night. Right. After the war, a lot of these
people all of a sudden began claiming that they were part of the resistance when in fact they had
nothing to do with it right and it was a pretty harrowing civil situation so you must have been lonely
writing this book alone without without me and my brilliant presence correct you know you laugh
but it's actually really true because after 11 years of back and forth three times a week on
the phone with you to actually write a book and do not have anybody to say
hey, what do you think about this? How do we fix this? How do we make it better? What should we add to it?
All the little things, you know, or, you know, one of the things I tried to do to make it,
to recreate our work situation. It was to read each page out loud before I would kind of, you know,
print it out, read it out loud. But I don't have your voice. So when I missed the O'Reilly voice
reading the pages out loud. Oh, yeah, sure. But it is true that you are the most successful
nonfiction co-author of all time along along with me i say humbly um de gard and i also finished our next
killing book called uh killing the killers a secret war against terrorism and it was supposed to come out
in uh november but because of covid the printing plants could literally not print the book
So it'll be out early 2022.
Now, that book was so hard to write, and I think you would agree,
because you were weeping telling me how hard it was to write and research,
because we literally got classified information that we had to vet.
We had to vet it.
And, I mean, I know I'm going to wind up in federal prison.
You'll probably skate.
You'll say, oh, Riley did it.
But there's so much, so much information in killing the killers that nobody has any clue about.
And it was a grueling process.
And I'm, I'm glad it's over, but I'd like to get that book out as soon as I can get it out.
You know, first of all, you and I are usually very, very sympathetico, and we're never getting at each other.
But we got a little testy in this book.
It was, there was a lot of pressure.
but also too
some of the people that
you know through your influence that we're able
to interview for that book
I mean these the background
we got from these people at the
you know I'm not going to reveal at the level
but I mean these were people who knew what was going on
they know where the bodies were buried and to be able to
interview these people and really get a
sense of what the world of terror
is like was fantastic
yeah and I mean it was it is stunning
the amount of information this was
the most difficult book to write would you
agree with that the most difficult killing book well you know the first of all the terrorists obviously
aren't going to share information with us and so that makes the research hard and then the
intelligence community obviously isn't going to share intelligence with us so that makes the
research hard so basically you know i had to dig harder than i've ever had to dig from a research
point of view and then you you were trying to really craft a very very tight narration so we just
we trimmed it down we made it as fast as possible and it was just it was just this this constant
refining of the book that made for a very high-pressure writing environment. But in the end,
it's worth it. You know, the readers are going to be. I think people will be stunned when they see
how actually bin Laden, al-Baghdadi, Soleimani, how ISIS was defeated, exactly how,
exactly, precisely how. I think they're going to be stunned. So anyway, good luck with
the epic battle for the City of Lights, Martin Dugard.
Penguin is the publisher.
O'Reilly is on the cover as he should be.
All right, Marty, have fun out there in California.
Don't buy too much gas.
You know, it's like $80 a gallon now.
It's good to see your smiling face.
Catch up soon.
Okay, so I hope everybody will check out,
Taking Paris, the epic battle for the city of life.

9. This day in history, this is a great story. I love this story. September 9th,
1956, all right, 65 years ago, a young musician showed up on the Ed Sullivan Show, which was
enormous. For those of you who weren't around at the time, Ed Sullivan Show, huge. And that
young musician's name is Elvis Presley. Go.
All right, sitting home all alone, if you can't come around,
that police, please tell the phone.
On he cruised, the heart is true.
All right, now, the camera stayed above Presley's waist,
because in the musical parts, when he wasn't singing, he was writhing around.
He was moving those hips, and the girls in the audience were screaming.
So the Ed Sullivan people said,
you can't show this, but everybody got it.
And that led to a huge controversy.
Pastors across the country demonized Elvis,
said he was immoral, all right?
But the result was that Elvis became the biggest rock star in history,
all right, the king of rock and roll.
And that all began 65 years ago today.
Okay, so we got a good mail saying.
And then I'm going to show you in the final thought, my reporting on 9-11, 20 years ago.
We have the tape from the factor, and we're going to show you some of it.
We'll be right back.

All right, let's go to the mail. David Barber, New Iberia, Louisiana.
Anna. Mr. O'Reilly, I have four brothers who did not get the vaccine. All of them got COVID.
I did get the vaccine and have not gotten COVID. My four sisters did get the vaccine and did not
get COVID. Please pass this along to your listeners and let them know that you are telling them
the truth. Wow, nine kids in your family, David, and I'm sorry about your brothers.
Gary, message board, kids testing positive, does not mean kids are getting sick?
Gary, Gary.
If a child tests positive, you're correct.
It doesn't always lead to an illness for the child, but the child can spread the COVID.
I don't understand this.
Charles Krakoff, a concierge member, Charles's direct access to me.
Mr. O, is there any proof that Pfizer delayed the release of the release of the
the vaccine to hurt Donald Trump politically. They did not delay the release of the vaccine.
They delayed the announcement of the vaccine that it was coming. That announcement could
have been made about October 15, but the executives at Pfizer held it back. And yes, there
is proof they did that. Rick Berger, Mass. People Park, New York. Mr. O'Reilly, your closing
thought about anti-Vex people, not listening to facts are spot on. However, you ended it with
the comment that people who choose not to be vaccine are putting themselves at great risk.
Why didn't you say it's equally important they're putting everyone at risk?
I've said it over and over and over and over again, but I am appealing to the primal instinct
of all human beings, self-protection.
Okay, Al, Bill, you seem to think 20 years in Afghanistan was long enough.
Considering the situation there now, it was not nearly long enough.
20 years is peanuts, considering how long we've been in Europe and the Far East.
Now, did you just start watching me here?
I said they should have led it a residual force at Bogram to control what was happening in the country.
And air power should have been used to beat back the Taliban.
I clearly said that, not just once.
Tim, you keep saying Donald Trump's presidency was controversial,
but it was only controversial because the elites of media rejected his legitimate election
and he had to endure an unprecedented attack from everyone.
That's not quite true, Tim.
That's not quite true.
So Donald Trump was attacked in a blatantly unfair way from the very beginning.
That's true.
And he reacted in a way that was filled with anger.
And that was justifiable.
I would have done the same thing had I been President Trump.
But Donald Trump took on unnecessary controversies and used Twitter to stir up
a lot of stuff that didn't do the country a lot of good. So that is the accurate portrayal.
Susan, concierge, remember climate change is another way for the progressives to control us,
we the people. I'm not saying we shouldn't be mindful of the environment, but we need to put it
in perspective. You are absolutely right. Climate change is being used to change the USA's
economic system. No doubt about it. Edward Whitehurst, Florence, Arizona.
I plan to attend the history tour with you and President Trump in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on December 11th.
I'm just flying in to see the show that day and have to be back at the airport at 545.
Your show starts at 3.
Will there be a warm-out act, or will you and President Trump start at 3?
We'll probably start at 3.15 because we've got to get everybody in.
It's going to be an enormous crowd on December 11th.
So it's tight for you.
If you can put the flight back, I would.
And no warm-up act.
I mean, I mean, I'm doing two hours and 20 minutes and included and that's a little intermission.
And that's not enough time.
I got so many questions to ask.
Throw up the Trump schedule.
We want everybody to come see these shows.
This is once in a lifetime.
This is a once in a lifetime.
You'll never see anything like this.
All right.
So if you can take the time, fly in, see the shows, you will thank me.
I guarantee it.
Okay.
Killing mob, killing crazy U.S., buy them together.

Okay, here is the final thought of the day.
20 years ago, I was working for the Fox News Channel, the O'Reilly Factor.
which was the most successful cable news program of all time by far.
And I was home on Long Island watching FNC when I saw the tape of the first plane
crash into the World Trade Center.
I knew it was terrorism right away.
Others were saying, oh, maybe it's an accident.
I knew it wasn't.
Then the second plane.
And immediately I mobilized and I couldn't get into Manhattan
because the NYPD closed down every way in.
to Manhattan. You could not get in to that island. So I had to go out to Long Island to Woodbury
to do my show in a studio out there. So I'm going to show you a minute of the opening factor
20 years ago on 9-11. Go. Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly reporting tonight from Long Island. Thanks for
watching, and we continue now with Fox News Channel's continuous coverage of the terrorist attack
on America. I'm approximately 30 miles away from the Fox Studios in Manhattan because of
Authorities have sealed the island, and this is the closest facility I could get to.
Not since Pearl Harbor has there been so much national rage,
but this time the object of our anger is not so clearly defined.
With so many innocent Americans dead and injured,
it is natural and correct for all of us to seek justice
and be preoccupied with hunting down, to use President Bush's term,
those cowards who have slaughtered American civilians.
In the next hour, we will bring you non-interrupted coverage of the human toll of this sneak attack.
We have scores of correspondents standing by to bring you anything that breaks, and we will hear from some of the people whose lives have been altered forever.
It is impossible for any news agency to convey the pain that the families or the victims are feeling tonight,
even though it has been said a thousand times, prayer and sympathy are the only things we can give them.
The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, and tonight that power is being harnessed to combat the brutal killers that have caused the destruction you're looking at right now.
I'm proud of that commentary.
I think I wouldn't change a word of it 20 years later.
I've told you that in my town on Long Island, immense suffering, dozens killed.
Their children went to school.
They came home, and mom and dad were dead.
I mean, it's just staggering to think about it.
I wrote a book.
It will be out early next year called Killing the Killers, the Secret War Against Terrorism.
And I did that because I want you to know.
and the stuff in the book you don't know I want you to know how your country
reacted to 9-11 the truth and it is a proud legacy so that book's coming out
and I want to tell you about it again on Saturday I'm gonna say prayers for the
poor families that suffered here and the suffering still continues to this day
thank you for watching us tonight
Check in with us, please, over the weekend on bill o'Reilly.com.
We'll see again on Monday.
