Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here, welcome to the No Spin News for Thursday, April 1st, 2021, stand up for your country. It is April Fool's Day, but we're not fooling around here. We've got a lot of good information. However, the origins of April Fool's, I bet you don't know. Wait till you hear this. We'll have it in the history segment coming on up. Okay, so we have made it a habit to give you President Biden's schedule today. Put it up on his screen. That's it. He's got a 115 cabinet meeting. 16 permanent members will join him in the White House and they'll have coffee and maybe some bagels and they'll talk about how they're instituting socialism. You know, people say, oh, O'Reilly, socialism, it's absolutely true, and I'll prove it to you tonight. And this is just an amazing series of events that we are witnessing.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Problem is that 90% of the American people don't know what's amazing. They don't know how threatening it is. They don't know what's going on. And I don't say that with any kind of super-silious attitude, word of the day, super-silius. Okay? That's arrogant. I don't. I know that most Americans, particularly the 80-million people.
Starting point is 00:01:26 in that voted for Joe Biden have no blank an idea what's really happening with my job to tell you and I will so Mr. Biden starts his day about you know 10 a.m. he kind of wanders down he got a couple of briefings but he didn't do much he just doesn't do much um simple as that because we've been doing this schedule now three weeks he's never had a busy schedule And people say, well, why don't you compare it to Trump? I don't have Trump schedule. All right. That happened months ago.
Starting point is 00:02:01 I can't dig it on up. It's not public. Okay. So it's all about spending our money because nobody is going to give the United States money. I know the foreign country is going to do it. Aliens aren't going to drop it. So the money that Joe Biden wants to spend comes from you and me. and corporations and companies.
Starting point is 00:02:26 And the government takes that money in the form of taxation. They have the legal right to do that under our constitution. Then you have to have a federal government that supervises the military, that builds roads and bridges, that maintains civility in the country. You have to. But when you gut the people, when you take so much that people's lifestyles are affected, then you're making a decision that you want the federal government to run the economy and tell each of us what we can and can't have. So we have a lot, then we're going to come in and take a lot of
Starting point is 00:03:08 what you have. All right. Now, there you're getting into unconstitutional stuff. So let's be very specific. Yesterday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joe Biden unveiled the American jobs plan. So my question is, why do we need an American jobs plan when COVID will be wiped out pretty much by fall? And under the Trump economy, there was record low unemployment across the board. So why don't you just keep in place what Donald Trump had? Why do we need a new American jobs plan? The Trump jobs plan worked pretty well.
Starting point is 00:03:59 The facts say it did. Record low unemployment across the board. No. We got to throw that out. That has to go. Why? Nobody ever says why. Biden doesn't take questions.
Starting point is 00:04:17 And even the one occasion he did, the questions were ridiculous. They didn't get into anything. So Joe gets out there. And believe me, he didn't put this together. Joe Biden doesn't do macroeconomics. They gave it to him. And he says, you know, the American Jobs Plan, we're going to spend $2.25 trillion over eight years. All right. $650 billion is going to be infrastructure, that's clean drinking water, affordable and sustainable housing. That's giveaway housing, free housing. Public schools, the individual counties take care of public schools through your property taxes. But no, they're going to put more money into public schools. $30,000 per student already in New York City public schools. And they're flunking the standardized tests there. But let's put more money in.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Okay, great. 10,000 private schools, private school scores are much higher. than the 30,000 public school scores, just so you know. $621 billion in transportation infrastructure. I'm going to fix the roads, going to fix the bridges, public transport. That's the dying New York City subway system because of the violence down there. Airports, electric vehicle development. Ah, there it is.
Starting point is 00:05:41 So electric vehicle development means that the federal government, not Tesla, not the private car manufacturers. The federal government is going to build all of these. stations where you charge your car. Why? If Tesla and Ford and Chevy want to market electric cars, and I like them, they build them. No. Green New Deal. So we got to build them. 580 billion research and development. Again, that's the private sector. That's the private sector. All right, Richard in development got us the COVID vaccine in the private sector. Government didn't do it. Government scientists didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:06:29 What do we need? $580 billion for research and development. Why? Explain it to me. $400 billion for home care for elderly and disabled Americans. $400 billion? Okay. So when you add it all up, Biden has to cover the spending with astronomical taxes.
Starting point is 00:06:58 So he says he's going to tax corporations $1.5 trillion. Okay? That'll be among the highest corporate taxation in the developed world. $1.5 trillion. He's raising, raising taxes, that much on corporation. So the corporation is going to do one of two things. They're going to move over to Ireland where the corporate tax rate is much, much lower. Okay?
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yes, Biden will try to tack on some penalty for that, but it's not going to be 28%. Our and or, they can do both, they're going to lay off people. They're going to lay off workers, all right, because they're not going to take a 7%, 21 to 28% corporate tax haircut. And the third thing you'll probably do is, if they can, is raise prices on whatever product they produce. You saw that in a gallon of gasoline. So once Biden attacked the oil and gas industry, gallon gasoline is up about a buck for everybody. That's what you're going to see. If you want to buy a refrigerator, a car, a TV, all going to go up.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Is it good for you? Is it good for you? I don't think so. Not good for me. I can cover it, but not good. Then another $1.5 trillion, all right, added together, that's $3 trillion, on individuals like me. All right. So we're going up to 40%, 39.9, whatever it is, 40% to the feds.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And then in New York State wants to go up to 16. See, 40 and 16, that's 56. You live in New York City, attack another eight. This isn't sustainable. People aren't going to give 60% of their money, their wages to the government and taxation. Not going to do it. They move to Florida or Texas. Or are they going to move to Brazil?
Starting point is 00:09:01 I wouldn't go to Brazil, but maybe Uruguay, or a very favorable taxation. That's what they're going to do. They're not going to do it. Or are they going to retire? or they're going to start a company in Delaware, Biden's home state, which is a very favorable tax climate. Did you know that? Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:21 So this dwarf anything Barack Obama proposed. It's like double what he wanted to do and is going to be a fight in the Senate. Now, much of this infrastructure stuff that Biden told everybody about yesterday in Pittsburgh is entitlements, giveaways. It's disguised as infrastructure. For example, free community college, free pre-K.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Why do we need free community college? It's already very inexpensive to go to community college. Why does the government have to pick that tab up? I paid for my grad school. I paid half for my undergrad. My father picked up half, which was nice of them. Why do we need that? Because the marginalized, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:17 So what the vision is, is socialism. So why don't people understand this? Because they're lazy. Many of our fellow citizens are lazy, not you because you're watching a news program that's delivering honest information to you. But I can't tell you how many people right now have the headphones on listening to some stupid rapper, tell them how they're going to screw up the police or whatever. Millions and millions and millions of people are doing that.
Starting point is 00:10:47 We're watching some mindless idiot singing show on TV. So what Joe Biden is doing is instituting socialism. All right? He's basically saying to the American people, we'll tell you how much money you can have. We in Washington are going to tell you how much money. tell you how much money you can have, how many possessions you can have, because there is a wealth tax coming, a proposed wealth tax. And that would mean they're actually physically going to have to come to your house and evaluate what you have and then slap a tax on it every year from your
Starting point is 00:11:24 possessions that you bought with after-tax dollars, that's seizure. Okay, will that happen? I don't think so. It's unconstitutional, 14th Amendment. Okay, but the socialists want that. Ocasio-Cortez, is absolutely a certifiable loon, said that this spending bill is far too low, the $3 to $4 trillion that Biden wants to spend on infrastructure. She wants $10 trillion. Did I say billion? Trillion. Ocasio-Teckel says it wants $10 trillion.
Starting point is 00:11:56 But she doesn't want $10 trillion. She wants unlimited trillions. She wants the government in Washington to run the economy, that's socialism, okay? Now, I've said this before. I don't want to be repetitive and boring. But in Europe, they have shut down most of the continent because they don't have the vaccine. Why don't they have a vaccine? Because there's nobody to develop it in the private sector.
Starting point is 00:12:19 In America, Donald Trump signed deals with whoever developed the vaccine in record time, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. They got billions in contracts from the federal government. France do that? No. Germany? No. England?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yes. They develop their own vaccine, but they're out of the EU. They booted it, but on the continent, they don't have the vaccine. So they shut down again, because they're socialists, and they don't have the money to buy the vaccine, and they don't have the private development to make it. That's what you get with socialism. in America, we're ambitious, okay, because we know we could get very wealthy if we have a product that people want. You can't do that in Europe. They take everything from you. You want that
Starting point is 00:13:18 here? Now, I know some Americans do. They say, like, I don't want to work hard. I want a guaranteed income, a house. I want guaranteed food. I want, I want, I want, I want, but I don't want to work for it. That's socialism. So Donald Trump dissenting up. What a surprise, right? Put it up on a screen. Here's what Mr. Trump said about Biden. Biden's policy would break the back of the American worker with among the highest business tax rates in the developed world under Biden's plan. If you create jobs in America and hire American workers, you'll pay more in taxes. That's true. But if you close down your factories in Ohio, Michigan, fire U.S. workers and move all your production of Beijing and Shanghai, you'll pay less. It's the exact opposite of putting America
Starting point is 00:14:06 first, it's putting America at last, unquote. Now, it's a little overstated about the China thing, but not much. Okay. So let's sum this up. Socialism is here. The proposals are here. The Republicans will fight against it in the Senate. No Republican in the Senate will vote for any of this. But it's 50-50. Now, you Georgians who elected the two socialist loons in January, you're happy? You're happy down there in Georgia? Are you? The people who stayed home and didn't vote? Because you did it. Those two loons did it. Biden, I will tell you again, doesn't know what he's saying. I don't care whether you believe it or not. I know it. He didn't write any of this. He does what he's told.
Starting point is 00:15:02 He can't even train his dog. Got to fight it. We'll lose all our personal freedoms. If socialism takes grip in this country, we will lose all of our personal freedoms, all of them. Border. There was a caravan that formed in Honduras. that formed in Honduras, all right?
Starting point is 00:15:31 The Honduran police broke it up, and it wasn't nice. So that caravan is stopped. Good. The brother of the president of Honduras, Tony Hernandez, has been sentenced to life in an American prison for state-sponsored drug trafficking, life in prison. This idiot, you're looking at an idiot, actually went to Miami, where the feds grabbed them
Starting point is 00:16:04 because he's one of the biggest dope dealers in Central America. His brother is the president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez. There's Juan. I'm sure he had no idea what Tony was doing. So what does Joe Biden want to do? Joe Biden wants to kick $30 billion to
Starting point is 00:16:28 Juan Orlando Hernandez. That's what Vice President Harris is supposed to. Go down there with the $30 billion. To do what? To break up caravans, I guess. That's why that caravan was broken
Starting point is 00:16:45 up by the Honduran police because they're going, hey, it's $30 billion on a way. Think that's going to get to the folks? Huh? Think so? I've been to San Pedro Sula. San Pedro Sula. Don't go. Don't go. Controlled entirely by drug gangs. And the brother of the president gets life as a major trafficker. This is Honduras.
Starting point is 00:17:18 You're going to hear that on ABC, CBS, NBC Nightly News tonight? No, they're not going to hear it. Okay, San Diego. So the feds have to put the kids in the San Diego Convention Center, these are the migrant kids, who are coming over at the rate of about 1,000 a day, all right? 1,000 a day. So in the convention center, they test for COVID. And the kids coming from Mexico, Central America, are testing,
Starting point is 00:17:53 9% higher than the American kids, okay? So it's COVID, these are just the kids, and it's hard to get COVID when you're a kid. Imagine the adults pouring in here, they're not tested. They're just put on a bus or a plane, they go wherever they wanna go, courtesy of your Biden. Let's face it, the US economy is under stress.
Starting point is 00:18:18 National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China, is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free.
Starting point is 00:18:51 billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998899. New York, totally falling apart. This whole infrastructure in New York State and City is falling apart. Why? Because there's loons running the legislature in Albany and Cuomo is neutered, neutered. He's trying to hold on and ain't going to happen.
Starting point is 00:19:48 So they in Albany have proposed $2 billion. dollars for unemployment benefits to illegal aliens. Two billion. Now the state owes hundreds of billions of dollars, but Biden is going to pay that debt off. So you guys in Idaho, Arkansas, Arizona, Hawaii, Alaska, you're paying off, your taxpayers paying off the debt in New York
Starting point is 00:20:18 because we're getting something like $575 billion from the federal government. That was the COVID relief package. So New York will be able to pay its debt off, but of course it'll lay on $250 billion more in a year. So everything that comes down up right, I mean, in New York state, some illegal immigrants got $1,000 for nothing. They just sent them a grand. You shouldn't even be here. They get $1,000 of state of New York. Georgia election law. We went over this yesterday. All right. I've read the law. I don't see what the problem is. Now, maybe I'm not smart enough. You know, I'm a simple man. Doesn't mean I'm a dumb man. It means I'm a simple man. I ask simple questions. I'm a linear
Starting point is 00:21:10 thinker. Okay, so three big corporations that are based in Georgia, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and Merck, their CEOs all object, they object, to the new Georgia voting law. Let's hear from the Coca-Cola guy, go. This is, this is frankly just a step backwards. We've spent many decades promoting within Georgia, a better society and a better environment for business, and this is a step backwards. And we're very clear on that, and our position remains the same, this legislation is wrong and needs to be remedied. and we will continue to advocate for it, both in private and now even more clearly in public. But why is it wrong? Why?
Starting point is 00:22:00 So James Quincy doesn't say. And neither does Edward Bastion, the Delta CEO, nor Kenneth Frazier, the Merck CEO. They don't say why it's bad, what they object to. They should, bad, bad. Why? Because they're virtue signaling. Okay? It's what they do. I'm so noble. I want everybody to vote. And this Georgia law, it makes it harder to vote. No, it doesn't. It doesn't. I studied it. If it did, I would tell you. I would. You know I would. So we put in calls. Okay, what are you objecting to? No, we're just objecting because we want to be noble. We want the New York Times and the Atlantic Journal Constitution to like us. That's why.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It's just insane. So I don't drink Coca-Cola anyway because it's got too much sugar in it. You drink a steady diet of that, you're going to get diabetes. Delta? I like Delta. But now if I had a choice, Merck? Nah. All right, I'm going to go down this again so you know what these guys are objecting to. Here's the law in Georgia, the five major things. Makes it a misdemeanor crime for anyone beside a poll worker to give food or drinks to voters waiting in law. They don't want Democrats or Republicans giving people stuff and encouraging them to vote their way. right who cares allows local officials to begin processing but not counting absentee ballots
Starting point is 00:23:47 two weeks before the election all right you're just putting them in a bin so they'll be counted on election days right that is that constrain anybody i don't think so all right the law requires absentee ballots to be printed on special paper so we know there's no fraud okay and your precinct name that's where you're voting what voting place that's your uh attached to has to be on the paper along with an ID that you get from the state or your Social Security number. Okay? So we know you're a real person. You're not dead. Does that constrain anybody? I don't think so. State will give you the paper, give you to pen, and give you the ID number if you don't have one. What's a problem? All right? Expands early
Starting point is 00:24:36 voting access for most counties in Georgia, adding an additional mandatory Saturday, formally codifying Sunday voting hours is option. So you can, more days to vote. Got more days to vote. I don't know. Okay. And the polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to. Okay. Shortens the runoff election cycle from nine weeks to four weeks. That's not even a national vote. That's if there's a tie or something like that in Georgia. So where, where is this constraining anyone? Nobody knows. Nobody can say, but we don't like it because we're noble. Because the New York Times doesn't like it. Washington Post doesn't like it. CNN isn't like it. Why don't they like it? They don't know. COVID third leading cause of death in the USA now behind heart disease and cancer.
Starting point is 00:25:34 you know it everywhere it's everywhere France locked down for four weeks don't go to France happy Easter to all our French friends can't go out of house great LA County oh I love this guy all right so the new DA elected elected Gascon all right George Gascon, he says, there's a law in the books in California that if you're a gang member, you get extra time for violent crimes. But I'm not enforcing it. So guess so for no reason you're a gang member and you get convicted, they can tack on extra prison time. The Gascon goes, we're not going to do that. So you override Sacramento and the will of the people in California. Okay, so in McArthur Park, the song, McArthur Park, there was a transsexual woman.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I guess she's a woman. Let me get the actual data on this case. Okay. So, they didn't put out the woman's name, but she is transsexual. It's in McArthur Park, okay? A gang member, beats her almost to death transgender woman this happened on March 25th Thursday okay it's the fourth beating of a transgender person in MacArthur Barre they catch the guy Gabriel Oriana 19 okay he has a long long rap sheet but he's not being prosecuted for the gang thing I predict Gabriel probably one do any time. Probably won't do any. Beating up the transsexual. Great. Huh? L.A., oh, by the way, homicides in L.A. Up 88% compared to 2019. Way to go, George.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Really doing a great job out there. Really good. Aggravated assaults in L.A. And motor vehicle theft, L.A., up 40%. Keep, there you go, George. What a guy. New York legalizes pot, which will create more disorder. All right. People who are 21 and older are allowed to use smoke ingest or consume cannabis products. Effective immediately, says Governor Cuomo. Another brilliant move there, Governor.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Man, you are so effective. So now, in a city of 8 million, soon to be 6 million. kids hey remember when you're a kid all right think back to when you were 12 13 in that range maybe if you were in the city even younger so somebody's brother goes in the liquor store buys little beer for you a little wine bang you get blasted remember that easy right on long allen levittown where i was you want a beer you want a wine easy some 18 year old drinking age 18 then come in bring in all your wine it's what's going to happen with the pot Okay? So the kids, eight, nine, ten, they smoke some pot. Easy. Now, you can say, oh, it's easy to get now. Yeah, in some place it is. Not in my neighborhood on Long Island. It's not. It's around, but it's not easy. Now, it will be.
Starting point is 00:29:14 So a new study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, NIDA, says that within 12 months, if an adolescent uses cannabis, okay, they, 11% of them get addicted. All right, let me repeat that. Within a year, if an adolescent smokes pot, 11 percent get addicted. Within 36 months, right, that's three years. 20 percent of adolescents get addicted because once they use pot, they continue to use it, most of them. There are some towns here on Long Island, where I am right now, that say, we know Andrew Cuomo's insane, we know the state legislature's irresponsible, so we're not going to allow marijuana within our city limits. And I applaud these people. Village Park, that's Mayor Michael McGinty, Atlantic Beach, Mayor George Pappas, Freeport, Mayor Robert Kennedy, and Rockville Center,
Starting point is 00:30:22 Mayor Francis Murray. Three out of four are Irishmen and one's a Greek. Okay? They say, not in our town, we're not going to let you sell pot or use pot. You do it in our town. I'm going to bring you in. That's what has to happen in New York State and everywhere else. Let's go overseas. China made a deal with Iran 400 billion. China is going to buy oil from Iran over the next 25 years. 400 billion China will pay them. Now, this gets around any embargo against Iran to stop with the nukes. So China basically subverting the rest of the world and saying, Iran, you want to get the
Starting point is 00:31:10 nuke, go ahead. and we'll give you a $400 billion, you send us some oil. Nice, huh? That's China. Great. Cancell Culture, USA. Beach Boys should write a song, all right? Not surfing USA, cancel culture, USA. Cleveland Indians. So if you want to go to the game, you can't paint your face.
Starting point is 00:31:33 And you can't wear an Indian headdress. Or I guess, any kind of thing around your forehead, because you might be a brave, not a chief. I don't know. But don't mess around if you want to go to the game, the Cleveland Indian game. This is cultural appropriation. So if you put war paint on your, you can't do it. They won't let you. I guess you'll get thrown out of the park if you do it.
Starting point is 00:32:03 No tomahawk chop. Oh, no, no, no, no. Illinois. Illinois is the craziest cancel culture state in the union. You guys win, okay? Pritzker, the governor, the most incompetent governor in the United States. You win. Here we go. Waukegan, Illinois, Board of Ed, okay? Met Tuesday of this week. And they want to take Thomas Jefferson's name off of middle school, okay? Because they don't like him because he had slaves. So Jefferson goes. And somebody said, well, let's rename the school after Barack and Michelle Obama. Yay! No! No. So a guy stands up Edgar Costalanos and he says, quote,
Starting point is 00:32:55 I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community. So Obama, he's not pure enough in Waukegan, Illinois to get a school next day. All right. And you know, as we reported in Evanston, Illinois, they're giving reparations, the city, to some African-Americans. Now, I don't object to that because that's private money. So if you want to donate your money to Evanston, Illinois, and say, please use this. this money to help some African Americans, you have a perfect right to do that.
Starting point is 00:33:41 As long as it's not public money, taxpayer money, I'm probably, but the fact that Evanston, Illinois wants to do it, thinks it's worthy to do, Illinois. You really want to get into Chicago again? I don't. Let me just tell you that last week, there were 15 murders. That's more than two a day in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Chicago, 150% increase over the same week last year. Doing a great job there. Boy, Lori Lightfoot, you are a genius. Absolute genius. All right, let's get some lighter news. NFL, National Football League. Okay. So a lot of Americans are mad at them because of the kneeling.
Starting point is 00:34:26 You all know that. But a lot of people watch. And so the networks are paying $113 billion. dollars i hope there's no biden money in that i don't think there is but you never know uh over 11 seasons to the nfl 113 billion teams divided up that's an increase over 80 percent from the deal they had in the past all right this is tv revenue money that's huge all right but in return the league has to expand to 17 games which will mean more knee injuries more head injuries more more everything. Remember, these are gladiators out there. This is our modern day Rome. That's what
Starting point is 00:35:12 they are. The NFL stands for not for long in the players' parlance. But I don't begrudge them the money, and I don't, I played college football. Okay, I'm not going to be a hypocrite. I knew the dangers, and I got smacked. But you two, you gov, Yves, something poll asked Americans, do you watch as much NFL as you used to? 11% say they watch more, 35% said they watch less, and 56% say they watch the same. So there you go, NFL. Good news. Ready for some good news?
Starting point is 00:35:54 I'm ready for good news. Independencefund.org delivered its 2,500 track chair this week. Okay? And we want to thank the Kendrick family, which owns the Arizona Diamondbacks for allowing Independence Fund to have this ceremony. So the man who got it is Sergeant Jordan Maynard, Marine.
