Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Wednesday, November 17, 2021. Stand up for your country. Now, the road trip for President Biden, he's off to Michigan. It's the same dance as yesterday. This time, he's touting electric cars. Electric cars are good. You've got to make them more affordable and the technology easier to use for the folks,
Starting point is 00:00:35 but electric cars are good. And the reason he's doing this, as we explained yesterday, is you've got to get out there because his poll numbers are cascading. He looks befuddled. He's got to get out there and be vibrant, as they say. So he's in charge. So I was curious because the newspapers didn't give this much coverage, this New Hampshire jaunt last night.
Starting point is 00:00:57 didn't really the AP put out a piece but it was nothing so NBC News with Lester Holt gave it a minute ABC World News tonight David Muir gave it a whopping two minutes and 32 seconds David must really like those electric cars although Biden wasn't talking about electric cars he's talking about a bridge so David probably likes bridges as well as cars CBS evening news nor O'Donnell they kind of snubbed present 13 seconds barely enough time to say his name in the town in New Hampshire. Okay, so I think this will be it for Joe Biden. He says that he's going to get the bill back better, reconciliation,
Starting point is 00:01:39 whatever it's being called today. I don't think that's going to happen. I could be wrong. I kind of searched back. What was the last time I was wrong? But I don't see Mansion and Cinema, the two Democrat moderates and the Senate voting for it now. And the reason is it's all over the place.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Every day they change the money and where it's going to go. And Mansions said, look, this is so chaotic. You can't vote for a couple of trillion dollars in spending unless you know where it's going to go. And nobody knows where it's going to go. Joe doesn't know where it's going to go. He just wants the bill back better thing. So I'd be surprised if the Senate passes this thing. one Democrat vote in the Senate's over, and that would be Mansion at this point.
Starting point is 00:02:31 They put a lot of heat on cinema and Mansion, that's for sure. So then Joe Biden goes to Nantucket. You ever been to Nantucket? Lovely place. My mother used to work in her college summers in Nantucket. Beautiful beaches on the south side, flat island, a lot of swells from New England, a lot of accents, bastin, a nice whaling town.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And Joe goes there a lot for Thanksgiving. But we don't know when he's going. We know it'll stay probably until Sunday, but we don't know. Stay in a big estate, and there's plenty of them. And Nantucket, very, very wealthy. So, you know, I hope he has a good time. It'd be interesting to see if he's vaxing. And if you go to see Joe on Thanksgiving,
Starting point is 00:03:21 you have to wear mad. What do you have to do? That'd be interesting. I don't know if we're going to get that. So the turkey pardon, which is done every year. That's this Friday, November 19th of the White House, two turkeys that are being pardoned from Jasper, Indiana. We're not eating them.
Starting point is 00:03:40 They get a pardon. I can't remember back last year. What a fiasco that was with the Trump turkey pardon. Nobody knew it was. It was funny. Anyway, I like the tradition, let's pardon the turkeys, and that happens on Friday. So you would expect that right after the pardons that he would go to New England. Maybe not.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Right now, I mean, and I really wish I could report accurately to you because that's what I do. But right now, I got a $1.75 trillion proposal for this build-back better thing. I mean, that's what they're putting out. But there's no breakdown that I can see, and that's an awful lot of money, particularly because they just passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. So they're trying to break the bank, the Democratic Party, and give as much money away to the folks as they can. We know that. We've been over it. That's their strategy to buy votes, create a socialistic economy, and that's what this is all about. If I thought that build back better would benefit you and me and all my viewers and listeners, I would endorse it. But I don't know what to do that's going on.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I can't get a straight-ins from these people. Nobody else can either. So no way. Mansion basically flat out said he's not voting for it. Now, that was yesterday. But again, a lot of pressure on these. people. But yesterday man said, no. And there aren't any Republicans in the second. I'll look for this. If you're a Republican in a house and you vote for you, you're dead. You'll never
Starting point is 00:05:25 get elected again. All right. So the Wall Street Journal, they cover economics pretty thoroughly. I trust what they say. They source everything. So they say if this big bill passes in addition to the infrastructure, that the United States America will be the highest tax country on planet. So my question is that where we want to be? So the Wall Street Journal says the average payment state and federal will go up into the 50s. So right now we're in the middle of the pack 43%. That's what we pay on average to the feds and state. But this would go up into about 57%. Now, I'm not a selfish guy. I got plenty of money and I worked hard for it. But if I'm going to continue, you know, running three news agencies, which I do, I don't want to give the federal
Starting point is 00:06:27 government 57% of my income. Who would want to do that? Because we all know how much of it's going to be wasted. Nobody's going to watch it. The audits are going to be chaotic. It's just too much money. And the money goes from Washington to the individual states like California and Illinois and New York for equity and whatever crazy thing they have. And who knows? But I know I'm going to be paying 57%. So Germany is 47%. Sweden 52, France 55, we would pass all those countries and become the highest tax nation in the world. So when I was in Munich and Bavaria right before COVID, I did a lot of research. You made me remember that I reported the German worker is taxed to here. Everything the German worker does. Value added tax, everything he buys, you know, the municipal government in Munich
Starting point is 00:07:29 has his handout, the state has its hand out, Berlin has his hand out. And so you can't accumulate cash unless you cheat, what they call it the gig economy. And a lot of people do. Most people do. All right, you can't accumulate money because the government takes it away. So what this does is it robs incentive. Now, I'm a success economically because I work damn hard. And I always have. I never jake it, even if I don't like who I'm working for, I give them their money's worth. All right? And I was willing to fork over what I had to fork over. But it was going up and up and up, and I'm not seeing the corresponding good for the nation. Now, maybe you see it, but I don't.
Starting point is 00:08:18 New York State, where I live, highest taxed union, roads are falling apart. Airports have a mess. All right? Train stations are dangerous. Infrastructure, insane. Where's the little money going? Schools in affluent areas on Long Island where I am are good, and we pay plenty of school tax. But in the city, they're terrible, even though the taxes are supplemented in the New York City schools.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So where is his money and what are the improvements being made? You never get it. So I'll remind you that Bill de Blasio has gone down in history as the worst mayor in New York City history. he gave his wife 1.2 billion in city funds. I think it's Shailene or somebody. And she was supposed to use that for social justice. Nobody knows what the money is. Is there an audit by the Attorney General?
Starting point is 00:09:24 No. Why would there be? Attorney General in the United States, Latisha James, she doesn't care where the money is. She's in that whole crew. But 1.2 billion taken out of the pockets of people who work in New York City goes to this woman and then it disappears. There's no accounting. So if you were living in Bolivia or Chile, this would be corruption. This is what the third world nations do.
Starting point is 00:09:59 they steal Haiti okay nobody knows where it is but nobody's looking nobody's looking nobody's going to go to jail nobody's going to be investigated so it's the philosophy of the progressives is very very simple white men have all the money and they have accumulated that money by exploiting the minority communities so the government must punish white men, not only the high earners, but the truckers and the people working in the grocery stores. If you're white, you get punished. You're not on the equity list. You're not on that list. That is the philosophy. That's scandalous, right? It's scandalous. Now, Biden, if you remember back to his first week, did a big deal out of this equity thing. Oh, we're going to do
Starting point is 00:10:56 equity equity we mean we give money to the groups that we want to vote for us that's what it means and this is a little race-based stuff the shame of it is and i'll get into this a little bit next week that all the spending and money pouring into the poor precincts and neighborhoods makes things worse because there's no discipline everybody's got their hand out give me mine Most Americans have no idea that this is actually happening. If you were to go out tonight, go to a restaurant, maybe strike up a conversation with the changing. Just ask you what I'm saying, $1.75 trillion, do you know where that's going?
Starting point is 00:11:42 That money? That billed back better money? Do you know? If anybody gives you a coaching answer, please write me an email, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Okay. Okay. So we have a situation where all of this spending is now causing the Fed to print more money because they have to cover the expenditures. It's not enough money in the U.S. Treasury to do it. So they print money. And that means the dollars that you have in a bank or invest in their worth go down. that's inflation.
Starting point is 00:12:22 So Biden's running around with Jenzoggi, oh, no, it's not going to cause more inflation. Every economist in the world just goes, what? And this is the extent of the incompetence that we have in Washington, D.C. right now. So Rasmus and Daly tracking, we give you this every day. 41% of likely U.S. voters approve of Mr. Biden's job performance. 58, though. Bad number. I thought you might want to hear what the Trump number was.
Starting point is 00:12:54 So in October 2020, before the vote, economists UGov had Trump at 45% approval. NBC News had him at 45, Harvard Harris had him at 46, Gallum had him at 44, not even close to where Biden is. So, you know, interesting information. And there's another big difference, that the people who liked Donald Trump and his performance in office really liked it.
Starting point is 00:13:23 They were fanatical Trump people. And they would vote for him no matter what. Biden's support is soft. I've never seen a person go, I've got to have that Joe Biden. He's the best. That Joe Biden, he's really doing a hell of a job. Have you?
Starting point is 00:13:42 So all Biden's support is is an anti-Trump play. That's it. So then the question becomes, the Democratic Party knows all this. What do you do? You only have less than a year before the midterms where the Democrats could lose everything in Congress, and that's the end of Joe Biden. So joining us now from New York City is Paul Alexander, the former media strategist for Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat from Hawaii. So you can imagine, and I'm sure you know, that these meetings are going on. do we bring this back? How do we stop the bleeding and the polling? Do you have any idea what the strategy might be? You know, there are a number of very basic things that I would recommend if I was in the administration. First and foremost, I think President Biden's open hostility
Starting point is 00:14:38 toward oil and gas is a self-inflicted wound. There is no reason for the U.S. not to be energy independence, especially with record inflation and a supply chain crisis, already hurting American wallets. Now, Eric Adams, the Democrat mayor-elect of New York City was recently threatened by leadership of Black Lives Matter with riot and bloodshed if he did not give into their demands. Adams just held a press conference calling on national Democrats to condemn this extremism. This would be an easy opportunity for President Biden to take a tough stance against real threats of violent crime. And beyond that, I would look to the very sensible and popular platform of now former Democrat, Andrew Yang, who just recently launched the Forward Party. And I would use
Starting point is 00:15:37 the bully pulpit to advocate for issues with bipartisan support overwhelmingly, things like open primaries, ranked choice voting, and term limits. Doing so would restore some of his credibility as a pragmatic consensus builder and do a lot to enhance the transparency, fairness, and efficiency of our democracy. Isn't it too late? Come on, Paul. Let's be honest. I mean, the guy, you know how it hard it is to change people's perceptions. You get off on the wrong foot, they got that image, and his image is shot. I mean, he doesn't command the stage. He hasn't done anything to help the country
Starting point is 00:16:17 with the possible exception of Vax rollouts, but he hasn't done anything. Isn't it too late for him? No, I don't believe so. One year is an eternity in politics, and three years is obviously triple that length, whatever triple eternity. But it's not going to be three years.
Starting point is 00:16:35 He gets whacked next November. It's over for the Biden administration. That could be true. It's, you know, he was in the Senate for four decades. When push comes to shove, perhaps he will really show his ability to form some consensus within that governing body and actually get things done. Perhaps now, when he doesn't have to do that, at least on paper, by the numbers, he's being a little more bold and trying to check off more things from the progressive agenda than he otherwise would. see i could be wrong and i could be mean and i don't want to be either but i don't think he's up to the job i don't think you can that's okay i mean that's certainly your opinion i'm not going
Starting point is 00:17:24 to uh do you disagree with that opinion no do you think that joe biden at age 79 can run this country effectively he certainly has not instilled confidence in me thus far uh but i was of a similar belief prior to the election, to be fair. So that really has not changed. So you never thought that Biden would be a good president. It was just the anti-Trump movement that put him into office, right? To an extent. I mean, you had mentioned the polling earlier, and I think we should look at that.
Starting point is 00:17:57 It is important to acknowledge that over the last five years in particular, there has been a consistent misreading of the electorate by national pollsters. on both Democrat favorability and GOP turnout. The most egregious example that comes to mind is that ABC News Wisconsin poll that had Biden up plus 17 the week of the 2020 election, and then he won it by less than a point. You know, the real clear politics average
Starting point is 00:18:25 had Andrew Gillum ahead of Ron DeSantis by nearly four points, and we know Ron DeSantis won that race. More recently, it had New Jersey governor, Phil Murphy, up by eight points, and look how close that race turned out to be. So I think there is ample evidence here to suggest a real disconnect between Democrat polling and Democrat performance. Now, on to Biden. I'm going to disagree with you, and I'm going to base it on a fact.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Okay. So if you analyze the daily television ratings for MSNBC and CNN, unquestionably pro-Biden, they are at historic lows, no one watching. that. Now, Fox is losing audience as well, but not nearly as rapidly. So that tells me that Democrats and independents who might be sympathetic to Mr. Biden, they don't want to see him. What do you think? As I had said previously, his appearances rarely instill confidence, so I'm not going to entirely disagree with that. If you want to break up the segments between progressives, moderates, dependence, we can examine each of those. Right now, he does not seem to have a clearly defined base. He is yet to deliver any sort of major legislative victory for progressives who are
Starting point is 00:19:48 already not particularly enthusiastic about him to be going with. For moderates, the infrastructure bill could be seen as a major victory, but I honestly do believe it's being overshadowed by the backlash to these controversial vaccine mandates, and that has turned him into a fairly polarizing president. Combine that with the folks are not going to care about any bill back better when they're paying three times as much for a gallon of gas and twice as much for food. Those issues will override any theoretical stuff. Last word. I don't disagree with that. And if we want to look at that further, let's look to Bill Clinton as an example, who won independence overwhelmingly in his 96 reelects and left office with a 61% approval rating despite all the scandal.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Why? Well, the economy was booming, and he made lowering violent crime a top priority of his administration. Security. Security bill is a primal need, not a partisan one. That includes both financial security and public safety. There's no doubt about that. But Clinton was an extraordinary politician, and Biden is not. Hey, Paul, we really appreciate it. Thanks for coming on and a very interesting segment. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Theroux, 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, I are. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions and 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, 5576, or text bill to 99-8899.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. All right, so Joe Biden goes home to Delaware a lot, and he's made 16 trips in a year. And of course, taxpayer $3 million. That's lunch money for the federal government. but 16 trips in a year, 52 weeks, that's a lot of going home. And so the right is, you know, jumping up and down about that. And he also, I'm sorry, I said 16 trips. It's 22 trips.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I don't know why I don't have this a little more clear. 22 trips. And, you know, you got to get the helicopter, you got to get the plane, you got to get the Secret Service and all that. No, he's spent a lot of Jack. I don't think he's constrained on any level at all. COVID. So, boosters are coming might be available Friday. And the data says that if you are vaxed, that after six months, the protection from the vaxed declines.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Not all the way, but you're not as protected as you work. So the government is saying that you've got to get the booster. Right now, about 60% of the U.S. population is vaxed. That needs to go up to 75. So there's 15% in there. And if that goes up to 75, this COVID thing will be on the wane. 31 people, 16% of the population, have received a booster so far. I'm going to get it, you know, I don't really want to get it, but protection, because I have so much to do, I don't, you know, socialize or much or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Nobody wants to hang with me, but I'll get it. Border. So, crossings, encounters, they call them, going down. September 192 August to 10 July 214 All right So last month
Starting point is 00:24:32 October You had about 100,000 So you can see it's going down Now the reason it's going down is because the federal government is doing the COVID thing They're being tougher They're not letting people in and they're using the Title 42, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:24:50 So you've got to go back. It's not anything to do with any Trump and any policy. It's not even due with Border Patrol. It's just that the orders are going. Send it back because of COVID. So that's what's happening down there. Still a two million people a year breaching our border. So remember the Department of Homeland Security Officer on the horse with the reins.
Starting point is 00:25:17 So the immediate one, while they were whipping Haitian migrants and all that. So it turns out they weren't whipping Haitian migrants, and the Customs and Border Patrol not even going to investigate because they have photographic evidence that says the guy wasn't whipping Haitian migrants. So what are the odds of you turning on CNN and MSNBC tonight hearing that story? That is all mistake. Now, I feel elation for the poor Border Patrol agent who got hammered, so hopefully nothing happens to him. But even Biden's own Homeland Security office says, no, there's nothing there.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Again, if you see that story reported somewhere else, please email me immediately. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to O'Pine. So the cancel culture has devastated the entertainment industry. If you are a conservative or traditional or even an independent and you support Donald Trump or traditional in this country, you're not going to work. So there's nothing written down, but believe me, I know firsthand. So I'm in the Screen Actors Guild after a union. That's my union. And I've been in there for decades.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And it's a decent union. You know, I actually get a pension. Believe it. But it's a far left union run by progressives. And if I run into a problem where I have a project that's being deep six because I'm me, after and SAG are not going to help. So therefore, you only have one mindset producing entertainment. The most vivid example of this are the commercials, the TV commercials.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So now, if you watch the commercials, almost every one are people of color or gay people or whatever, almost every one. Now, I don't have any beef for that because for years, African Americans didn't get the opportunities that white Americans got in the Screen Actors' Guild. I thought they're making up for time, and I don't have a beef. But it's there. It's there. So I have a lot of friends in the industry.
Starting point is 00:27:57 You know that. Two very powerful actors, very powerful. You know their names, but I'm not going to burn him. They shot a pilot for ABC Disney. And it was good. They didn't pick it up because they're white. And they actually were told. We're not picking this pilot up because you're white guys.
Starting point is 00:28:19 So that's what's going on. That's a blacklist. So this ain't history 74 years ago, the real blacklist was announced. The Screen Actors Guild made all of their members sign an anti-communist loyalty oath 74 years ago. And if you didn't, you got booted out of the union. And then on top of that, the federal government started. to hold hearings, the House on un-American activities, trying to find communists. It's all about that. You got to swear you weren't a communist. Now, that was a blacklist that hurt a lot
Starting point is 00:29:02 of people. After SAG was right in the middle of that. Ronald Reagan, you know, the first person to testify in front of the House on American activities? committee, Walt Disney. First one. So it took litigation for the blacklist to blow up. So people say, you're not going to let me work. I'm going to see you. And production company said, we don't want that. And I went away. But it'll last a long time, 47 years ago today. Okay. So we will have a mail segment that I think will be exciting. And then a very, very nice final thought. Back in a moment. 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. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before. And we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the top.

You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the world's 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,
Starting point is 00:30:52 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, let's do some mail. We got John Turcott in Billings, Montana. Bill, I listened last night to you talk about the Boondoggle Infrastructure Bill, and you said you would have voted for it. My question is how you justify one point trillion in taxes, and the folks get back less than $500 billion in infrastructure. Number one, it will be $1.2 trillion in taxes. It'll be a lot. Not going to be that. And again, the states, your state, Montana, are responsible for using the money responsibly. Responsible, responsibly. So look, it's a hope I understand it. Patricia in Harvey's Lake, Pennsylvania, I've been reading about and watching the Kyle
Starting point is 00:31:45 Rittenhouse trial on Fox News. Seems the liberal media wants to try and make this about race, and some outrageous statements are being said. Why is so much attention, a lot of it biased, against the defendant? Because it's a progressive cause. They want Kyle Rittenhouse convicted. They want to ruin his life. It's a simple. as that. Dr. Mike Millard, Laguna Nigel, Florida. I was curious if there was specific language in the infrastructure bill providing funding allocations for the hardening of our vital energy, water, and agriculture resources. Now, I said Laguna, Nagel, Florida, I think it's California. Don't think there's a Laguna Nigel in Florida. Anyway, as I said, it's hard to
Starting point is 00:32:37 know what's going to get funded and what is in which. which is why it's such a big problem. Kevin Loud, Phoenix, Arizona. The other day, you mentioned the Democrats have no presidential hopefuls. How about Joe Manchin? Progressive left and notable for him. The left wing of the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:32:58 in a million years wouldn't support him. Oh, he didn't have a chance. So you've got to always look at the big picture. Bob Lamoth, Hampton, New Hampshire. Vermont is among the highest vaccination rates of the country at 82%. If what you're saying about high-vaxed places being safest, why is Vermont in such bad shape? Number one, it's 72% of Vermonters have been vaccinated, not 82. That threshold is not high enough to stop the so-called delta variant.
Starting point is 00:33:32 So Vermont, as you know, very rural state and things, they spread very quickly. So everybody knows everybody, everybody's associating with everybody, and that's what I think is going on there. Richard Robbins, I'm curious to know your reasons for being against the vaccine mandates. Friends of mine argue they do work. Now, I don't want the vaccine to be mandated because of freedom issues. I want to convince people. that self-protection and the protection of others is a patriotic thing to do.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I think Biden makes a terrible mistake when he said, you better do what I say. That just alienates and makes it harder. So that's my reasoning there. One more. William Blasick, Seacliff, New York. Educate me, I'm confused when Jen Saki speaks. Is it disinformation, misinformation, or propaganda?
Starting point is 00:34:39 So, misinformation and propaganda are the same thing. Disinformation is a lie. So you have to make up your own mind about her presentation. But I was able to delineate what she's doing there so you would know when you hear her say something. It's not always a lot. It's a false opinion. She's wrong. If you hear disinformation, that's a lie.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Okay, I got two final thoughts of the day. We're going to honor a World War II Patriot. And then I'm going to tell you about something that's very important. One word, anticipation. Very important. Right back. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist,
Starting point is 00:35:36 and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce 1. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce 1 with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay, so final thought of the day, we would like to applaud 93-year-old Norm Fullner, who is 90, I just said he's 93, I'm being redundant. Now, he, Norm has donated to independence fund.org for years. He has done so much for that worthy organization. So I figured, you know, a World War II vet, give me a shout out here.
Starting point is 00:36:41 We love our vets. And a guy like Norm is so generous that you should know about it. Independence Fund.org, of course, helps the severely wounded American veterans. Okay, so yesterday, in the final thought, I talked about managing risk. and a lot of Americans don't even concentrate on that. They kind of blithely go through life thinking nothing bad is going to happen. So there's a risk in everything we do. Sometimes a risk is high.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Sometimes it's low. But whatever it is, you need to assess, I'm doing this, and here's the risk level. Okay? And then you have to figure out a strategy to deal with that risk. So when I'm driving on the Long Island Expressway, I know that there are going to be loons weaving in and out, driving dangerously. So I am anticipating that. I'm holding back. I don't tailgate.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And I'm watching. Okay? I'm watching the whole thing because they're coming. I know they're coming. And if you're not prepared for them, you can get hurt big. So this is called anticipation. And I think it's one of the most important things for a successful life. If you want to be successful in business or personal stuff or whatever it may be,
Starting point is 00:38:18 you have to anticipate what might happen. So if you do A, B might happen. And worst case scenario, you got to throw in there. All right, this is a little pinheady, I understand, but most people don't do it. so i hope you do christmas is coming our christmas store is open no supply chain problems for us we have great gifts we have the christmas ornaments god bless america on your tree who doesn't want those we have the stand-up for your country stuff which is excellent love the mugs and these are easy. So you call in, you go to our store and you order them and we'll have them there two or three
Starting point is 00:39:04 days. You wrap them up and you get them out. That helps us so we can help you. And then we have the bundle. So we're trying to get more premium and concierge members because that's the backbone of our program here. And there's some resistance and I'll tell you tomorrow what the resistance is. It has to do with alcohol. You can believe it. But we are trying to recruit. So if you give a gift certificate, concierge or premium, you get a bundle of free stuff. A bundle. All kinds of good stuff arrives at your house. And I'm saying myself, I can't do any more than this. so I hope you guys will check it out and you know
Starting point is 00:39:55 it's funny because when I left Fox News I thought that our marketing arm would decline we're doing better today than when I was there five years ago it's incredible because the people it's almost like the Trump supporters the people that watch the no spin news and listen on WABC the people who do that are loyal
Starting point is 00:40:16 I mean they know what we're doing here This isn't a casual thing. And so they help us. And that's what we're doing here with the Bill O'Reilly.com premium store. Word of the day, feckless. You cannot be feckless. So I've been doing a lot of press for the Trump-O-Reilly History Tour. It's fun to do it.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I was on Mark Levine, Hannity Today, all of the pro-Trump shows, local news, K-L-I-F in Dallas. They have a good interview today with them. And my basic pitch here is that if you go to this show, it's for them, and put up the slide there, on December 11th and Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale, 12th Amway Center, Orlando, 18th Toyota Center, Houston, 19th Dallas American Airlines Center. So if you go, if you take the time, it's the best Christmas gift ever, by the time. way. You are going to learn so much and have such a good time. I have a heavy duty. It's going to be a lot of information. You know me with Trump. We have a pretty good rapport. I understand Glenn Beck is going to introduce us in Fort Lauderdale and Sean Hannity in Orlando. So that'll be something,
Starting point is 00:41:40 you know, they're going to make fun of me and that's fine. But it's really, it's not a heavy duty presentation. We're not trying to get into that. What we are trying to do is write the record, which needs to be righted, and to tell you, A, what President Trump actually did in his policies, and B, why this country has fallen apart. Now, that'll get a little contentious with Mr. Trump. I mean, he'll take cheap shots at Joe Biden, but to be expected. But there's going to be more of your record, Mr. President. that's where I'm going with this and sold almost 30,000 tickets so far. That's a colossus.
Starting point is 00:42:25 But there are some nice seats still available. Go to Bill O'Reilly.com. We'll link you right over to the box offices. And again, great Christmas and Hanukkah gift. Thank you for watching us tonight. We will be back tomorrow. See you then.
