Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, December 20th already, 2022, stand up for your country. Well, this is the last broadcast of the year. I got to give my squad some time off. We don't have reinforcement. We're an independent news agency. Everybody works every day. It's not like, you know, somebody can go to Tahiti and I can just bring in people. So we're working pretty hard. I think you know that. I'm going to give everybody two weeks off. And I hope they aren't arrested. No, it's a good crew. So this is our last broadcast of the year. I will be tweeting over the break a lot, keeping up with the news and we'll have things on Bill O'Reilly.com every day, new things that are fun. Remember, we have the crossword puzzles, and we have all kinds of flashbacks and things like
Starting point is 00:01:11 that that are entertaining. So you learn and you have fun at the same time. But anyway, sign up at Bill O'Reilly. That's the tweet at Bill O'Reilly. Musk hasn't bothered me. I don't expect you will. We use it more for information than to tear people to pieces. If I'm going to tear somebody up, I'm going to do it straight on. I'm not going to do tweet stuff. That's like behind and back, stabbing. I don't go for that. Now, there's lots going on today on December 20th,
Starting point is 00:01:43 particularly at the border, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So now the Supreme Court is involved. I suspected this would happen. So everybody in the country knows this is a catastrophe at the southern border. Our security has been compromised, a record. of hard narcotics flowing in, millions and millions of foreign nationals, being allowed to stay in America unsupervised. Everybody knows that, all right? Even President Biden knows it. The difference in President Biden does not care about this issue, about what's happening. It's obvious he does it,
Starting point is 00:02:21 all right? But the Supreme Court, I believe, is pretty agitated about it. So Chief Justice John Roberts extended Title 42. It was supposed to expire tomorrow. Now, he's extended it. Now, what does that mean? So Title 42 gives the federal government the power to turn any migrant around who comes across the border without paperwork, without a passport, can turn them right around and send it back to Mexico. It was a lot like Trump's remain in Mexico policy, but Title 42 is based on disease, COVID, and any other communicable disease. The government says, look, we don't know where these people are. We don't know where they come from.
Starting point is 00:03:04 We don't know what they've been exposed to. So we can't let them in because they may infect Americans with COVID. That makes sense. That's Title 42. So a dopey federal judge suspended it, and now the Supreme Court has overridden that. So Roberts has given to federal government, the Biden, which wants 42 to expire. This is just so insane. That's why I'm so frustrated reporting the story. He's given them to the end of today to file a counterclaim, and then Roberts
Starting point is 00:03:42 will make a decision. But I suspect he's going to kick it to the full court for a hearing, which would then be in June. Their decision would be in June. That's what I think was going to happen here. So the issue of Title 42 is in the hands of Supreme Court. But it doesn't really matter because the Biden administration didn't send very many people back. They allow people in. And we went over this and over this and over this. I'm not going to go over it again. But the Biden administration refuses to enforce immigration law that was passed by Congress and signed by Ronald Reagan, I believe. He just won't enforce it.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Okay. Now, that in itself is not a crime. He can't be charged with a criminal act. It could be impeached for failure to uphold the laws of the United States, which is his oath of office. Okay. So now, that's what's going on there. But here's how absurd it really is. For almost a year, the corrupt corporate media tried to cover this story up, as they did with
Starting point is 00:04:55 Hunter Biden laptop. They didn't report on it much, but it's gotten so bad with state of emergencies in El Paso and Texas declared a state of emergency. So now the corrupt corporate media has to report on it. They have to. Now, as you saw yesterday, if you watch the It's been news, ABC is blaming Republicans for this. It's incredible, incredible. But yesterday, a Washington Post reporter asked Corinne and Jean-Pierre about the border. Go. Just a question on migration. The president tasked the vice president with studying and working on the root causes of some of these issues.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm wondering if there's any update from this side of the White House on what she's been doing and what she will continue to do as we're expecting an influx at the border. As you know, the president appreciates the partnership. he has with the vice president. You're right. That has been her charge to work in a diplomatic way on finding the root causes of migration. I don't have anything to lay out specifically on what that work looks like. But again, we appreciate her partnership. And I would probably refer you to her office on anything specific on the work that she's doing. Now, how insane is that? So the President of the United States doesn't know and, of course, doesn't care what Kamala Harris is doing to get to the root causes of migration.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Now, just think about it. Just step back and think about how incompetent this is that a president appoints a vice president appoints a vice president. Oh, yeah, you go down and find out why this is all happened. And then, what, a year later, almost a year later, he doesn't know. But he appreciates the partnership. partnership. No partnership. She's not doing Jack. I mean, it's almost like a cartoon every day for me to report to you the reality of what's happening. It's almost like a cartoon. And it's not only the border that Biden doesn't care about. He doesn't care about government spending.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So under Biden, new spending, spending that didn't exist before he was president, is stands at 3.37 trillion, a record. 3.37 trillion has been in an office for two years. So why should you care? Well, that means that the money you have in the bank and your wallet under your mattress, wherever it may be, is worth less because Biden and the Treasury Department have to print money to cover the spending so that the money that's in play is less. so if you're going to buy a van go there are only what a limited amount of van go paintings around
Starting point is 00:07:48 if suddenly there were a thousand van go's discovered then the value of the other van goes would come down you see no maybe you don't i don't know and does Biden care about 3.37 trillion in spending no at all i don't care at all so that's two border federal spending slash and inflation. As inflation goes up, the more money the government spends. And the third is violent crime. So listen to this. Seventy-two billion dollars a year of taxpayer money is given by Washington to the states, the 50 states, to help with crime control. It's called block grants. And that money can be used for whatever the states wanted to be. Okay, federal government didn't have any say about how it's huge. so 72 billion a year and violent crime in most major cities is through the roof has
Starting point is 00:08:51 Biden said anything about it not once I haven't heard him say one thing it's like okay here's your money and we don't really care whether you're fighting violent crime or not because they're not they're not fighting violent crime is Biden care no so you say with me, O'Reilly, you hate Biden. I don't hate Biden. This is not a hate Trump on the other side of the aisle. I don't. All right? I don't care about Joe Biden. I met him once. He was a standard politician. I had a nice little chat with him for about two minutes, and that was it. I don't care about him one way or the other. I will tell you that he is the second worst president in our republic's history. Okay? And then I'm I'm going to prove that coming up in a couple of minutes. Now, today, Joe Biden has nothing on his schedule. Oh, it's five days before Christmas. He's nothing.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Usually they'll put something out. Nothing. Zero. Now, that tells me something wrong. Because they usually fake it, but they don't have anything on a schedule at all. So is he sleeping all day? I don't know. However, yesterday, Monday, December 19th, Biden did his eighth one-on-one interview.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So he's only done eight in, you know, approaching two years. This one was done with the hard-hitting Drew Barrymore, the actress slash talk show host. Now, I'm going to run a minute of this, and it is almost beyond belief. roll it well i one thing that joe gives me every year is a poem which is i knew you'd love that he has a book that he bought for me and every year he writes a poem you personally write the poem of course i do a lot to write about because there's no better present than one that's made you know the one you can't buy give me strength give me humor and i know we can get somewhere together. She got both of them. I'm usually the brunt of her humor, though. And the boys love her making
Starting point is 00:11:14 fun of me. I am the... Of course they do. Who wants to grow up in a serious household? Exactly. That's right. I can't make fun of things. And I have so much to work with. I'm so excited and I'm looking back at 2022 with such fondness. And as you're going into 2023, I just hope for you for the very best. And I thank you. for creating that feeling around for everybody. Give me more credit than that, sir, but thank you for saying that. Well, it's how I truly feel, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to tell you that. Thank you so much for your time.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So she thinks 22 is a fond year, and she thinks that Joe Biden created hope for everybody. Drew Barrymore thinks that. Okay. She's entitled to think whatever she wants to think. I have seen a lot of interviews in my 50 years in journalism. That perhaps was the most fawning F-A-W-N-I-N-G interview I have ever seen. Okay. Now, just listen to it, just one stat. So while Drew Barrymore is saying, oh, you've given everybody hope, oh, it's fondness that I'll remember this year.
Starting point is 00:12:37 this year the american people have lost in personal assets seven trillion dollars now maybe not drew barry more i don't even think she'd know if she'd lost it but maybe i'm being unkind so this is what joe biden did yesterday this meanwhile 200 000 people who don't belong in the United States cross the border. And he's doing that. Okay. I got to get to my pal,
Starting point is 00:13:21 James Buchanan. Put him on up. James Buchanan was president of the United States from 1856 to 60. Okay? He was the worst president by far. in the history of our republic because he allowed the south the southern states to loot union depots to disrespect the federal government and mass he allowed the build-up to the civil
Starting point is 00:13:55 war okay and then lincoln got elected and comes in and all hell breaks loose because buchanan didn't care, just as Biden doesn't care, about the South's insurrection. He didn't care. He did nothing. Now, I can prove it. In my collection of historical artifacts, I have a letter from Harry Truman, throw it on up. Okay? So a woman writes to Truman, and she says, what about Buchanan and the Civil War?
Starting point is 00:14:32 and Truman writes back, if Old Buck, that's his nickname, Buchanan, had the Cajonas, he didn't use that word Truman, but that's what he's saying, of Andrew Jackson, the Civil War might have been averted, which is absolutely true. If you had Jackson in front of Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, he never would have allowed the South to gather in strength to defy the federal government, because once you defy it, the federal government, then everybody in the South goes, we can do this. We can do this. We can separate. They're not going to do anything or we'll kick their butt if they try. Instead of sending federal troops and force and mass down to the South and stopping it in its infancy. Okay, so Truman and everybody else who knows the country and knows what happened, knows that Buchanan was the worst. And he was the worst because he didn't care. he was a coward or whatever it may be.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I don't know what his inner thoughts were, but I do know for four years he sat on his expanse of butt and did nothing. Just as Biden is doing that now in very, very serious things for this country. Okay, that's the memo. Now let's go to Trump. Not a lot of new on a Trump front. We went over this last night on the no-spin news. You premium members of concierge members, you can access the nosmith news anytime you want.
Starting point is 00:16:05 If you missed it, I think we had very, very good analysis of the referral, the criminal referral to the Justice Department about Donald Trump. So Mitch McConnell was asked about this, all right, and here's what he said, quote, the entire nation knows who is responsible for that day, January 6th. Beyond that, I don't have any immediate observations. That is an irresponsible statement by Senator McConnell. Trump was not responsible for the riot at the Capitol. He didn't do what he should have done by immediately calling for his followers to stand down. He didn't do that. But he didn't want that to happen, and he panicked when it did happen because they were his people doing it.
Starting point is 00:16:54 That's what happened. When McConnell says, our entire nation knows who's responsible for that day. That's because McConnell hates Trump. Just that statement means McConnell is no longer qualified to be the minority leader in the Senate, in my opinion, my humble opinion. I don't like this guy. You know I don't like him because of Kate's law. We've gone over that. But he now is hurting the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:17:22 All right. He's got to step aside. You need new younger blood in that position. And I'm not a party guy. I couldn't care less what they do inside the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. I don't care. I'm a registered independent.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Keep an eye on all of them. All right. Now, on the criminal justice front, Illinois on January 1st knocks out all bail. Okay? So there's no more bail in the state of Illinois. And in Chicago, drug gangs are celebrating. they'll have a very, very fun New Year's Eve, going, hey, we're not going to give out.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Okay, we can do whatever we want, then they're not going to hold us. Have a gun? They won't hold us. Sell heroin? Nope, not held in us. Now, the law says that the individual judges in Illinois, all right, are responsible for remanding to custody the person arrested or not. So what you'll have is in the southern part of Illinois, the more conservative part, the judges will remand.
Starting point is 00:18:26 But in Chicago, Cook County, and where the real crime is, most of those liberal judges, they don't matter. Go ahead, you know, we'll see you in five months for your hearing. State of Illinois. More people per capita are leaving Illinois than any other state. New York and California numbers, they're the leaders. But percentage-wise, Illinois, it's draining out of that state because it's so crazy. Stanford University, very fine university, or it used to be. I took a year and a half to study harmful language, okay, the elimination of harmful language initiative.
Starting point is 00:19:14 So a bunch of these pinheads got together and they go, we're going to have language that we are going to be. suggested not used at Stanford. Now, I took my son to Stanford when we were touring colleges because it really is or was an excellent school. Both of us said, no. Too woke, too crazy. All right. Now, here are the harmful word, some of them. You don't want to say American on a college campus of Stanford. You replace it with U.S. citizen. Why? Because people in Central and South America are Americans too, and we're slighting them by appropriating the term American. Immigrant, nope, a person who has immigrated. Prisoner, nope, a person who is incarcerated, not a prisoner. Homeless person, nope, a person without housing.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Handicapped parking. Nope. Accessible parking. Not handicapped. Nobody's handicapped. Committed suicide. Oh, no, no. Died by suicide.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Blind review, anonymous review. Tone deaf, unenlightened. Can't use blind or deaf. Nope. Addict. No. Person with a substance abuse disorder. And the word brave is.
Starting point is 00:20:50 is out they don't have a synonym for brave they just don't don't say brave i guess it's because of indians but i'm not sure stanford university about 80 000 a year to go there smart life so a cardiologist named dr donald lloyd jones has studied heart attack spike rates And he says that between Christmas and New Year's, there are 40% more heart attacks. And this is the quote, during the holiday season, there are different stresses like dealing with your in-laws and travel arrangements that may add stress. We're often knocked off our eating and sleeping patterns. We tend to consume more alcohol. We're not pursuing our typical physical activity.
Starting point is 00:21:43 And we may get thrown off our medication schedule, unquote. So, it's a little dopey here, but not crazy because, yeah, those days between Christmas and New Year's, everybody's partying, celebrating, a lot of eggnog. I can't drink eggnog. Anybody out there like eggnog? No, but you pour booze in it and then you get blasted, so they tell me. The other thing in the Smart Life category is don't overdo the celebrating, you know, moderation. watch the COVID. So I don't go out in public a lot because, you know, when I do, I have to, it's an ordeal. I'm not whining about it either. I mean, I just once in a while. But when I do, it's always a fist bump now. No handshakes. Everybody wants a handshake, but I just give them a fist bump and I just go COVID. Okay, that protects you. No hugging. No, because if a person has COVID and you're there like that, so be careful about going into groups that you don't know, people you don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:03 My daughter, three times COVID, and she's vaxed because she lived in New York City. And she's around strangers all the time in confined areas. And she's picking up, picking it up, picking it up, picking it up. It's crazy. So watch that COVID thing. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter,
Starting point is 00:23:28 plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I'm not a big mask guy. I don't do that. And those of you who do, I respect it. Maybe the mask helps. I don't know. I haven't gotten COVID. I've been very, very, very lucky. But I got it fully vexed and all that. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. But just be, watch your health. Watch your health. over the Christmas thing. We want you to be strong. All right. Now, let's get into a Christmas tradition. Now, I've given this before. I've done this before. So some of you listening on the radio and watching on television,
Starting point is 00:24:31 you might want to go away for five minutes and then come back. But I think it's very instructive. So I wrote a book, Killing Jesus, okay? Massive bestseller all over the world. But it's a history book. It says. All right, a history, killing Jesus. We do not use the word Christ in the book because that connotes Redeemer.
Starting point is 00:24:54 It's a religious connotation. Here's killing Jesus in Korean. So this book was in every part of the world, including the Muslim part of the world. And people obviously want to know about Jesus, the man. Okay? So killing Jesus, the book, was made into killing Jesus, the movie. I was the executive producer.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Roll the clip. Majesty, an alignment of the stars has drawn us here. These stars. Before tell a great event. A child. Born in your kingdom is the God of Israel's chosen. The Messiah. The Messiah.
Starting point is 00:25:38 A king of the Davidic line to restore the glory of Israel, as in the prophecy of Isaiah. Isaiah. Of all the infants born in my kingdom, how will you find this one child, destined to be the Messiah? Knowledge that the day and time of his birth match the position of the stars, and the child would give us a sign. What a blessing. Yes. Find this child. Send me news that I may comment.
Starting point is 00:26:16 make a comment, venerate him. I welcome your holy mission. Majesty. Okay, so you can see that on pay-per-view. That's Kelsey Grammer, by the way. And it's a really good primer on Jesus. So why are we talking about this? because Christmas is five days, and that's what it's about. The birth of an infant in Bethlehem,
Starting point is 00:26:52 and it's all historical. So my co-author and researcher Martin Dugard went to Israel. Government of Israel opened up all their records. About that time, we read Josephus and all of that. We got unbelievable stuff. And basically, the story is that Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem to answer the census from Augustus Caesar, who was occupied. most of the world and he wanted to know how many people were under his occupation so he could tax the various lands so they had to go you didn't go you're in trouble and there jesus was born then herod kelsey grammar okay sent his soldiers into murder um the first born any baby that was born within six months now some historians dispute that but
Starting point is 00:27:46 it happened. And Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, they moved out before Herod's soldiers got in. And they were mercenary soldiers. Herod was a Jew, but he hired mercenaries because he didn't trust the other Jews because they hated him. All right. So fast forward up to Jesus' adulthood. And he goes and he preaches. And at first, there were 15, 20 people. And after a year, there were two, three thousand people. So how does that happen? Well, you say because of his message, because he was preaching goodwill toward men and charity for all and all that. People couldn't hear him. Couldn't hear him. He didn't have a microphone. So he would stand on a hill or he'd be out in a sea of Galilee in a boat. You could see him. Couldn't hear him. And his apostle did spread
Starting point is 00:28:41 the word about what he was saying, but you don't get two, three thousand people showing up. where he is unless there's something extraordinary happen. Now, we are no miracles in killing Jesus. You don't have any miracles because how could we? To history, there's no verification. What there was, and is, is the spies following Jesus for the Sanhedra and the Jewish authorities and for Pilate, the Romans, sent dispatches back saying,
Starting point is 00:29:10 the guy's healing people. And this is what's drawing the crowds. everybody wants to see it or get healed themselves that happened now whether those miracles were real or not you have to decide it's a matter of faith but here's the kicker on jesus and christmas so right now in the world there are 2.5 billion christians following jesus more than any other religion is about 2 billion um hinduism about a billion centered in india course. Anyway, Jesus of Nazareth, a poor stone cutter, that's what Joseph and Jesus did. They cut stone to build homes. And everybody goes, oh, he's a carpenter. There were no trees. So they cut
Starting point is 00:30:01 stone. That's how they built dwellings. Anyway, he comes from a backwater, small town Nazareth. He rises up to become the most famous human being was ever lived. How does that have? it. We're thinking about it in this Christmas season. This day in history in the USA, December 20th, 1803, Thomas Jefferson buys the Louisiana purchase from France, $15 million. Put up the maps. Let's see what we got for our money. And on radio, I'll describe it, starts in New Orleans, goes all the way up to the Canadian border. Okay. The western edge. is Colorado, now Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho. Look at that, that vast track of land, 828,000 square miles. Now, the French didn't want it because they couldn't administrate it because it was full of Native Americans who didn't want any white people there. And it was a rough and tumbled place. So they said, I will take the $15 million and we'll run. And Thomas Jefferson was president, James Monroe, Secretary of State, negotiated it. And that's really how the United States became
Starting point is 00:31:21 the most powerful nation. Okay, we got mail. We got Holly the Terodog and a final thought. We don't want to miss that. Coming right back. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

Starting point is 00:32:55 And you get it instantly. If you buy a concierge membership for yourself or anyone else on your Christmas list, get a free book. Any book you want. Killing the legends, of course, anything. So Tricia's a concierge member. She says 50 million illegals are here in the USA, thanks to George Soros. Left as a machine uses a fist to threaten or bankrupt anyone standing in their way. Number one, Tricia, we love you. It's not 50 billion. Okay, tops 20 million, probably 15. So when you want to win the argument, factual correctness is important. Phyllis, so much talk, discussion, criticism of Joe Biden's board of policy, but nothing gets done ever. Simply cannot understand why more Americans are not taking.
Starting point is 00:33:41 They talk to their congressmen. Look, talk is cheap. Trump, in the Remain of Mexico policy, blunted it. Biden, as we went over, doesn't care. Leslie, concierge member, thank you, Leslie. Hey, Bill, I just as a friend, a Biden supporter living in Texas, if he thought there was a border crisis, he said, it's no different than four years of Trump.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I took your advice, just left the topic alone. people believe what they want to believe, absolutely. So last year, Trump, about 700,000 encounters at the Border Patrol. Now it's up to two and a half million a year. Tell your friend, but he's not going to change his opinion. Patricia Hill, Jamestown, Pennsylvania, what happens when there's not enough of Tribe 1 to support Tribe 2? And the government, is that the downfall of the USA? Okay, good question. Now, this goes to my column, The Rise of the Tribes on Bill O'Reilly.com, I hope you read it. All right. We are two separate peoples now, two tribes in this country. Tribe number one largely supports tribe number
Starting point is 00:34:53 two. So Patricia said, well, what happens when taxing them to hear they can't tax them anymore? That's when the government comes in, like the Soviet Union, like China, like Cuba, okay, and takes over private industry. That's communism. So when taxation no longer can support most of the people who need entitlements, the government then nationalizes certain industries to get the money. That's what happens. Claudia.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Martha Raditz, ABC want to make the Republicans responsible for the crisis with illegal migrants, like they're in charge of protecting our borders. not Joe Biden. Governor Abbott's responses to Raddits were clear, but a bit bureaucratic. Yeah, I would have been a little more militant had I been Governor Abbott when he came out with that. And again, we had that on the Nosephan News last night. Kent VanColor, Rye, New York. I agree with you, O'Reilly, that declaring homelessness a crime is the only way to stop the epidemic. Taxpayer money spent to jail, vagrants would prevent crimes and the degradation of cities. You got me all wrong. I don't want it to be a crime. I think that would never happen
Starting point is 00:36:11 in this country and shouldn't happen. Absolutely not. My solution to the homelessness problem is therapeutic centers, not jails, not prison, not arrests, but if a drug addict is homeless and has a rap sheet, selling narcotics, stealing, whatever, they can be deemed a danger to public safety. And they can be removed to a facility for quote-unquote evaluation, which can take as long as the municipality deems as necessary. But I would never criminalize homelessness. That's not the way to do it. Therapeutic centers, where the people get services, they get a roof, they get fed, but no drugs and no booze. So they're not going to want to go there.
Starting point is 00:37:11 But that's a way to do it. Jane Yars, Weston, Massachusetts. Thank you, Bill, for your smart life tips. After hearing about the iBonds, we looked into it. My husband and I each purchased the maximum amount. Thanks again for your smart life. Merry Christmas. So the eye bonds are there for you, 10,000 minimum.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Pay a great interest rates guaranteed by the federal government. So if you got 10 grand and you're getting 2% in your bank, it's a year commitment, but you can, you know, there's a lot of things you can do with it. That was one of our best smart life tips. And a lot of people went into it. Richard Swaffer, Montreal, Canada. My wife always laughs at me when I put on the Charlie Brown Christmas album. It reminds me of when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:38:00 My kids and I watch Charlie Brown Christmas every year. It's on, I think it's on Amazon now or something. I can't, I don't know. I can't figure all that out. I listened to the Charlie Brown Christmas album last night. I did. It's great. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And the jazz and that is fabulous. That kid's stuff. I mean, they have a kid's choir and stuff, but it's really, really good music. So you're smart to do it, Richard, up there in Montreal. Okay. Okay, so we can still get your stuff from the Bill O'Reilly.com Christmas store, but it's tight now. But as I said, the premium memberships and the concierge memberships, and that helps us so much. So if you know and like somebody and it's not that expensive, and you get a free book, come on.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And if you're not a premium member, listen to me on a radio on Bill O'Reilly.com, I mean, ah, you can make your membership fee back a thousand times. if you give presents to people. Because we have good, and they're not political presence. And none of that. They're just good stuff. But anyway, five days of Christmas. I mean, we can, you know, if you order today, we can get it to you, two-day shipping. You've got to pay for that, but we can get whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:39:17 But I continue to believe that this concierge membership and premium membership is a way to go. Okay. Okay. We have the word of the day, disputatious. This is a great word. D-I-S-P-U-T-A-T-I-O-U-S. Disputatious do not be that. So I have a little time to kill now about a minute before we bring in Holly the Terra Dog, who's warming up in the bullpen over there. Unbelievable dog. Someday I'll really give you the skinny on Holly the Terri Dog. But she wants her air. time for the last broadcast of the year, and we will give it to her. But we are an independent news agency here, as I said, a topic program. And we work hard, very, very hard. And we don't make mistakes. And that's amazing, because I see mistakes every day. And by the way, I'm going
Starting point is 00:40:18 to be on News Nation tonight. It's a Cuomo promo. I'll be on with Chris Cuomo on Tuesday tonight. I'm sure Trump's going to come up, by the way. And I'm ready. I'm ready. Because Cuomo's kind of obsessed with Trump. And it's going to be an interesting discussion. So that's an 8 p.m. Eastern News Nation. I will be there. But anyway, we really appreciate you guys helping us out. And I'm going to take a quick break. And you got Holly ready? She'll be here in a moment. Okay, here's the final thought of the day, Holly the Tara Dog, and I wish you all Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. It's a cliche, but we do. Right, Holly? We wish you a Merry Christmas. Now, I want to show you the bribes that I have to give Holly to perform. This is chicken, right, Holly?
Starting point is 00:41:17 And Holly would eat a thousand of them. No? No, you're going to be good. You've got to be good. All right. Look at the camera there's treats in the camera there's treats there see if she knows if you perform well you get another treat but this isn't good you got to look at the folks you got now corgis are from whales and they are sheep-herding dogs so they domesticate well but Holly's instinct is to keep the sheep on the mountainside and so when you get her in a stationary position like this this isn't like a little poodle this is a funny dog but anyway it's a last show for 22 we got a big year and 23 planned right holly holly's seven now he's
Starting point is 00:42:12 seven year you're seven and she a good dog even though she's you know moving around she senses that treat coming after holly oh that's it got to be good is that tree coming. So I want you all to have a very, very nice rest over Christmas if you can. And don't forget, at Bill O'Reilly will be tweeting a lot. Maybe some pictures of the Tara Dog here. Right, Holly? Some pictures out of you. And we really appreciate you guys watching and listening. It means everything to us because we're an independent news agency and without you, we're not on. So thank you very much. And we will see. you on January 3rd, I believe. January 3rd will be here. All right, have a great one.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Say goodbye.
