Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, January 23rd, 2004, stand up for your country, which they are doing in New Hampshire today. I kind of like this regional voting, bring states into focus that don't get a lot of attention. tradition going on. You should know the Democrats did not hold primary in New Hampshire, as they did in the past, because they want South Carolina to be the first primary, so African Americans can dominate the returns on the Democratic side. That is the political strategy, just in case you were wondering. Now, Dick's notch, the northernmost town up by Canada in New Hampshire, All six votes went for Nikki Haley, we can report.

Polls closed 7-738. I'm not sure what the corporate media is going to do tonight, whether they do what they did in Iowa, and as soon as 7 o'clock rolls around, they're going to go Trump won. Trump's going to win. It's just a matter by how much. If you believe the Boston Globe poll out yesterday,

it'll be a landslide, and Nikki Haley will be wiped out. not so sure about that. So I'm going to withhold a prediction other than Trump will win. I will be on News Nation around 8.45 this evening with analysis in case you want to get my instant take. Talking points memo is about President Biden's mental state. So based upon what I went through with my mother, I believe, and I could be different. desperately wrong, and perhaps I'm irresponsible for saying this, but I believe that President Biden has early stage dementia, all right? We'll have a medical doctor on tomorrow, talk about

my opinion. Dementia is not one specific disease, not like Alzheimer's disease. It's an umbrella where elderly people, sometimes not so elderly, decline mentally. All right? So, one of the early symptoms is memory loss, but most senior citizens have memory loss. So it's a hard line to walk. In my mother's situation, what I saw was a very slow deterioration from early 80s to early 90s. She died 92, where my mother withdrew from the world. Now, I kept her comfortable in her own home, 24-7 care. She didn't have to do anything.

Okay? All she had to do was go into the living room and watch television or whatever, listen to the radio, and then go to the kitchen for meals. That's it. And I was happy to do it because my mother was a saint and did so many good things. But it was frustrating because I would go over and have a conversation with my mother who recognized me, but really couldn't hold a conversation. And she didn't have any interest in doing that either.

Most of the time, she was asleep. So a person in early stage dementia demonstrates they have difficulty in thinking things through. Like you can't say, well, what do you want to do tomorrow, mom? No, that's not happening. Okay? Sometimes they can't find the right words. They stammer and stutter. They can't remember the word.

And they get lost. So if my mother went to church, even though she had gone for 50, 60 years, the same church, she get lost. I mean, you have to steer her in, that kind of thing. And finally, and this is where I picked it up with Joe Biden, you lose interest in your surroundings. Joe Biden has no interest in solving the border problem. None. If he did, he would have done it two and a half years ago. Whenever you ask Joe Biden about the border, he'll say, I need more money, or it's Congress's fault. There's no interest. No interest at all. He doesn't have any interest in solving Hamas Israel. He'll read the words that are put

in front of him. He can still do that. Not effectively, but he can do it. But he didn't have any emotion. There's no emotion. The only time that report say he shows emotion is with his son Hunter and Hunter's troubles. Now, as far as I know, the White House physician, Colonel Kevin O'Connor, okay, is never going to tell the American public that Joe Biden has any kind of fundamental deficiency at all. He's just not going to do it. All right. And there is no outcry from the media because they would rather have Biden with dementia than Trump. And that's true. Same thing with Democratic Party. Although it's a little bit different because the Democratic Party, if they had somewhere else to go, they'd go there, but they don't at this point. That I might change.

And finally, Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in 1919. He actually had two, September 25th, and a big one on October 2nd. Incapacitated the President of the United States. Nobody knew. Nobody reported. White House doctor didn't say a word. Okay? So Edith, his wife, First Lady, took over running the government, even signed documents.

All right? Now, Woodrow recovered a little bit, and the public finally got to know about his stroke six months after they happened. For six months, American public didn't know that the president of the United States was incapacitated. Now, it could never happen today. However, if you look at Joe Biden's schedule, there's nothing ever on it. He has no events. So this is rapidly becoming a major problem for this nation, a problem unreported by the mainstream media. And that's a memo.

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. 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.

Please call 866326-55-7576 or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576-56-5576 or text bill to 998899. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine. host columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors,

lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. All right. So Mr. Biden is off to Manassas, Virginia for a campaign rally with Kamala and Jill and the first husband or whatever they call him, first gentleman. Excuse me. It's all about abortion. They're going to yell and scream that women are being denied their rights. Trump is the devil and abortion. Abortion. Abortion.

abortion, abortion. So that's what's happening today. Now, all Biden has to do is get on the plane and off the plane, all right, and then stand or sit there. And I don't even know if he, he has to make some remarks. Has to. But it's minor. All right, a week from today, he's going to Miami to a private home. Chris Corgi is the Biden Victory Fund director. And if you have $250,000, you can go to Chris's house and see the president. Okay. You can buy lesser tickets, but that's the big one. So I heard a rumor that maybe Morris, this guy, Morris, going to lend Hunter Biden a quarter of a mill.

So, Hunter, no, the joke. All right, last formal press conference for Joe Biden was December 12th, all right, with Zelensky. Remember that. Nothing came out of it. A couple of softball questions and it was just nothing. In three years, Barack Obama held, come back to me, please, held 66 press conferences, okay, three years. Trump held 52 press conferences. In three years, Joe Biden has held 33. half the number of Barack Obama. And most of those press conferences were very, very short. And as we have reported time and time again, he knows the questions.

Biden knows the questions. Now, they deny it, oh no, we never get a bunch of bull, all right? Because he's reading his answers off cards. You've all seen us do that here on the NOSPN News. We show you the video. And you read the answers off guard, so I ask the note a question in advance. Anyway, Biden, they're keeping them away from the press that will continue. So tonight in New Hampshire, I expect the MAGA people to overwhelm the Trump haters.

But in the general election, New Hampshire is not going to vote for Donald Trump. Marist Poles says that Biden's leading by five. It's not MAGA country in New Hampshire. In fact, all of New England, they don't like Donald Trump up there. Okay. There have already been some dirty tricks in New Hampshire. Do you hear about this? So a robocall was made telling Democrats in the Granite State, okay, not to

vote for Trump, because that was being urged by some people, unaligned voters. Roll the tape on the robocall. We know the value of voting Democratic on our votes count. It's important that you save your vote for the November election. We'll need your help in electing Democrats up and down the ticket. Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again. Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday. Okay, it sounded like Biden, right?

Wasn't, wasn't Biden. It was an AI voice distort. So the Attorney General of New Hampshire is looking into this, but we can expect more of this, as for sure. State of the Union address, usually given around this time historically, but Joe Biden does not do that. So remember in 21, April 28th, my God, that was the State of the Union.

22, it was March 1st, and now it's going to be March 7th. It's right before Super Tuesday. Maybe that's why, I don't know. Does it matter? No. State of the Union, you know what the State of the Union is, okay? I mean, you know your circumstance. Let's bring in Isaac Saul.

He is the CEO and founder of a news agency called Tangle. Readtangle.com. He's out of Philadelphia. I read Tangle, and I think it's pretty honest, pretty straightforward. That's one of the three or four that I will read. So, Nikki Haley, she vows to stay in, even if she gets waxed by 15 points tonight, which the Boston Globe says she will. I'm not sure about that.

Nikki says, I'm in it. I'm not getting out. You believe her? I believe her that she'll hang in past New Hampshire. Yeah, I mean, I think she's still getting money. There's a donors who are still lining up behind her. I'm not totally sure why. I think, you know, I wrote in August of last year that this race was basically over.

Trump had a lead in the polls that had never been surrounded by challengers. in the history of modern primaries. So he's pretty much had a stragglehold on this from the beginning, and that hasn't changed. But, you know, she could be a little bit competitive. Maybe she overperforms. Maybe instead of getting, you know, 20 or 25% of the vote, she gets 35%.

She comes in a few percentage points above what the polls are showing. I think if that happens, she'll do her best to stick around. But, you know, the reality is... Why? Why? All right. So she's not going to win her home state, and that's four weeks away, four long weeks away, all right? And you're not going to win South Carolina. It's MAGA country and all of the big shots down there lined up behind Trump. So why?

What is in it? You know, most of the time I know these people and why they do what they do. They want to write a book. They want their lecture fears to be jacked up. They have nothing else to do, whatever it may be. But Nikki Haley knows she's not going to beat Trump one-on-one. stop. So why does she hang around? Well, I think she's, you know, as you sort of mentioned at the top of your segment there, there's a lot of candidates in this race who are on the other side

is 70, the other side of 75. And she's a relatively young politician. So I sincerely doubt this is the last time that we see her in a presidential race. I think 2028 is going to be wide open on the GOP side. And if she can prove to some donors and prove to some people in their Republican Party that she's got the Hutzpah to stick around with Trump and go toe to toe with him. I think in the long term, that's probably good for her political career, even if she ends up getting trounced in a couple primary races. But, you know, Ron DeSantis dropped out last week, and what did he get for doing that? He got headline after headline about what a total disaster his campaign was. So, you know, on the one hand, it made sense for him to leave the race. But on the other

hand, it was a pretty damaging thing from an optics perspective and for the future of his political career, I think, that he didn't even make it to New Hampshire. So if you're Mickey Haley, I think you see that. That was a different situation, though. So, I mean, DeSantis put everything in Iowa, didn't even campaign in New Hampshire and got killed, so he had nowhere to go. Nicky Haley performed okay in Iowa. And as you said, if she if she does all right tonight, But if she doesn't, and she gets wiped out, I don't know, then she's going to get a loser tag. You're right in the sense that she is priming herself for four years from now. That's correct.

She sees the field, she doesn't see a lot of moderate Republicans in the field. Most are pretty far right. And she goes, you know, I'm going to build name recognition. This is a good way to do it. But the danger there, Isaac, is that she gets the loser tag. and she looks foolish, which is absolutely a possibility. She gets wiped out tonight, four weeks of nothing going around. I'm not going to even, you know, I mean, I would interview Nikki Haley,

but I would be tough on Nikki Haley, so she'd never come here. It doesn't go into tough venues. But I see a danger for her, last word. Yeah, I mean, look, I think the best case that she's going to drop out after New Hampshire is the fact that losing in her home state of South Carolina to Trump by a huge margin would be incredibly embarrassing for her, you know, similar to what Iowa was for DeSantis. So I'll certainly give you that, that that is a big, big red light for her. But, you know, she's made a lot of promises to donors. She's got the thing all these challengers

wanted, which is Trump one-on-one, and she's proved to be a pretty stubborn lady. So maybe she'll stick around for it, but who knows. We'll see. Okay, Isaac, appreciate it very much. Tangle, let it tangle and check it out. You'll like it. All right, polling morning console, 6,417 registered voters. That's a big crew.

Okay, question number one. Who do you support Biden or Trump to be the next president? Trump 45. Biden 40, someone else. 10, that would be RFK, I guess. Don't know five. That's good news for Donald Trump. He's up by five in a morning console poll, which is not historically friendly to Republicans. Okay. So it seems that Trump has momentum. You'll probably get more after tonight. Then there's another poll, Harris poll, 2,346 registered voters. What is the most important issue in the campaign?

immigration 35 percent inflation 32 economy and jobs 25 crime and drug 16 health care 16 no sign of abortion remember that okay so Biden and Harris it's abortion abortion abortion abortion is five ahead of it you know our word because it's a disaster those issues okay that is the election again I'll be on 845 News Nation this evening with analysis and that should be interesting. Okay, so I got a lot of mail about the Supreme Court ruling 5-4 yesterday that the state of Texas has to take down the razor wire it has placed on some parts of the southern border. I would have voted the same way.

If you are going to uphold the, upheld the Constitution, it should be clear. Federal government is jurisdiction on all borders and all immigration law. It is not nebulous. There is no two sides of the story. There's no caveat in the Constitution. It says, but if Joe Biden is a moron and irresponsible and won't obey the law, then the individual states can usurp the power. That's not there.

Okay? This is what happens when American voters put people in office who won't obey the law. Joe Biden is not obeying the law. He's not upholding it. He won't do it. He's got to toss him. He's got to go. Same thing with your DAs and everything else.

So it's five to four. And then basically the federal government said, look, all this razor wire is blocking the board of patrol from doing its duty. That's a bunch of bull. Or the patrol can easily get around anything that Texas puts up. But the Constitution is clear, as I said. That's what that's all about. Now, there is a mother, and I feel so sorry for her. Name is Tammy Nobles. Okay? And she is suing the federal government, Department of Homeland Security, and the Health and Human Services Department for $100 million. Because her daughter, 20 years old, Kayla, autistic, was murdered by an M-13 El Salvadoran in Maryland. Okay?

So this is about as horrible as it gets. And Ms. Noble says the reason she was murdered is because Biden is allowing criminals to come into the country unsupervised, which is true. There's no doubt it's true. There's no two sides of the story. I don't think she's going to win her lawsuit. The reason being is that her daughter, again autistic, was living with this Salvadoran guy. Complicates matters here. But the overarching is that the open border leads to death.

Crime, ODs for narcotics, abuse, trafficking, you name it. Again, go back to Joe Biden. Does he care? Does he put, can he put that together? The answer is no. He cannot.

Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Smart life. All right. Now, about a month ago, six weeks ago, Holly the Tara Dog had a brain tumor. It was a very intense situation in my house because we all love Holly and Holly has got three million Twitter followers and everybody loves Holly. So I finally found a good vet. I went through this with you guys. The first two vets were not good. All they wanted was money.

They didn't care about Holly. One said it was a neck injury. The other was so incompetent that she didn't know what it was and didn't care what it was. I mean, I'm not a fool. I come in and I start to ask you questions. I know whether you care or not. Finally, because I had everybody researching on Long Island, who's the best guy named Marino at a plain view?

Okay? I take Holly in. She has surgery almost immediately. They remove the tumor. Holly is now about 80% back. Okay? it was very expensive, not unreasonable, absolutely not, for the level of care that Holly needed. I did not have pet insurance.

So immediately I started to research it. So we found a website, policy off policy.com, P-A-W-L-I-C-Y-com, policy.com. Policy.com. It is a pet insurance marketplace that gives you free quotes and comparisons. Okay? It's great for you. If you got a dog, a cat, you know, a bigger animal, whatever. So one of my producers' sample did.

Threw in, she had a new kitten, excuse me, looking for health insurance, and 300 quotes appeared on policy. And then, you know, you can pick the one you feel as best. You've got to research a company. Can't just buy a company and you don't know. But this gives you all of the information and one stop shopping. Now, the average insurance for dogs is between $600 and $700 a year.

for cats it's between three and a quarter and 400 that's the average in there now if your pet is a pre-existing condition or whatever it's going to go up if it's an older pet you'll pay more but anyway this is a smart life americans love their pets i want you to have as much protection as you can have so policy dot com history, January 23, 2005, 19 years ago, Johnny Carson died from emphysema. You remember if you watched him, he's a smoker, and he checked out at 79. Now, Carson, for the younger generation, if you ask about Johnny Carson for anybody under 30, chances I don't even know the man. I mean, it's crazy. He was probably the most dominant.

entertainer on television ever bullet tape Ronald Reagan says he is still not decided whether he is going to run for president it is just a coincidence that his wife Nancy was out this week shopping for an oval carpet some people say that

California's governor Jerry Brown is possibly considering a Democratic nominee There's going to be a problem. I don't think Jerry Brown would accept the nomination at all, unless he could get a room at the wire within walking distance of the White House. That's quite the jacket there for Johnny. Now, in his last year on the air on the Tonight Show NBC, he averaged about 15 million viewers.

It's a huge crew, okay? Last year, his replacement, Jimmy Fallon after Jay Leno, that kind of thing, but the same slot. Average 1.3 million viewers a night is according to variety. Competition, Colbert, 1.88 million. Kimmel, 1.68 million. So you can see how late night television has completely collapsed in America. Now, why is it collapsed? Well, there are two reasons.

Number one, this now overrides television entertainment in all categories. So people get their entertainment from this. And then on the bigger computers, they play their games or whatever. They're everywhere, all over the place. There's no appointment viewing anymore. There's not. Okay? So this is number one.

Number two is that the ratings for late-night television, most of the viewers are in the heartland because 1130 Eastern Time is 9.30 Denver Time, you know, that kind. It's an earlier play. It should say central time, Chicago. So it's earlier. So more people would watch there. By going far, far left, which ABC, CBS, and NBC, has. have done, particularly CBS, they've alienated all traditional viewers.

I mean, who in their right mind would watch Stephen Colbert, unless you were a fanatical liberal? All right, who? No one. Now Carson, you saw him jab, but he was gentle, and he jabbed all over the place. He wasn't an ideologue, even though he was a liberal man in his private life. Carson was a liberal. But he didn't bring that to the Tonight Show. He jabbed everybody, and it was fun to watch it. So anyway, 19 years ago, Johnny Carson leaves the planet. So I got good mail segment for you and try to pick these letters very carefully.

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. We'd like questions in the mail. if you have a question, not quite understanding what's happening. And, of course, we love strong opinions. Can't use profanity. Profanity is disqualifying right away. Can't. We don't do that here. But we like the mail segment, and we do it, of course, every program.

The concierge mail is fascinating, but that's all private. I can't use that on here. Once in a while, I use an anonymous letter. When is a real important point going on? But that's a fascinating crew, the concierge membership to Bill O'Reilly.com. Very strong opinions there. Okay, so we'll be back with mail in a moment. Let's go to the mail.

Concierge member, John. Rhonda Santa's not only lost this year, but blew his chances for 2008. It is not like to be challenged, questioned, or disagreed with. Nikki Haley is not as accomplished as she thinks she is. She spent two years as UN ambassador and quit. I can't think of anything else that she did. Well, she was a governor of South Carolina. So Nikki Haley, I'm going to disagree with you, John, is accomplished.

Governor of his state, elected, pretty good job, as far as I could see. Okay? Then she gets the appointment to the U.N. Look, I think she did the best she could in an impossible situation, got fed up with it. Didn't get along with Trump. Trump didn't kind of ignore her as U.N. ambassador. her, but if you'd say she's not accomplished, I mean, she is. So let's try to be fair to that.

Gary, Bill DeSantis lost because once a lawsuit started against Trump, poll number shot up and DeSantis dropped. People wanted to support Trump over the fake accusations. Yeah, that's one reason, but it was bad campaign style for the governor, as I said. Now, in this country with Donald Trump and Obama and, you know, huge, huge presences, you got to have some charisma out there. And Ronda Santos is not a good public speaker. Not.

And that's what really doomed him. It's hard to listen to his message. It's a good message, I think. Excuse me. Gary. That was Gary. Marion Brady. Eureka, California. I have been to Eureka. Architecture there is great. What a nice little town, northern California. So what's good morning, America. They're making a big deal out of Trump having cognitive issues. I haven't seen this covered. Is it to throw mud on Trump? Of course it is. Trump's lucid.

I mean, I know he's lucid. But he's getting up there. So he's going to make mistakes. He's going to confuse things, and that's just the way of the world. But he's lucid. I know. And if he wasn't, I would tell you. George Boyer, Perth, Australia.

George is a concierge member. Thank you, mate. Gidey Bell. There's no question. question that old Joe has been a complete disaster for America and that the Donald was a successful, albeit controversial president. So it's obvious who should be the next guy in the White House. One thing does worry me, however, Trump's isolationist America First vision seems to indicate that he will stop supporting Ukraine. That would be a catastrophe. I'm not sure I would

be surprised if Donald Trump cuts Ukraine adrift. What is more likely to happen is that he will engineer an armistice, a ceasefire between Zelensky and Putin. And Putin would have to get some land, mostly Russian dominated provinces. That's much more likely. He's not going to do, Trump's not going to do what Biden did in Afghanistan. He's not going to stand up there and just go, well, bye, no. That would never happen under Trump. Trump sees himself as a strong man, not letting anybody push America around. But he's not going to perpetually send $75 billion a year of American taxpayer money to Ukraine.

So I wouldn't be, that would be something to watch, that's for sure, but I'm not too worried about that. Okay, Dr. Dennis Wadja, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, what do you think about the JetBlue Spirit Airlines merger? Well, the latest study says that JetBlue is the worst airline in the country. So why would you give the worst airline in the country the power to buy another airline? Is that an upgrade? So the federal government said no. They're not going to give JetBlue the waiver to buy Spirit Airlines. I don't know Spirit Airlines.

It's one of these smaller care. They have trouble. But I know JetBlue, okay? And I don't have any confidence. I have a new CEO, a woman, if you have to look. So maybe things will get better. I don't know. Howard Solomon, Boynton Beach, Florida.

I had not been to a dermatologist in two and a half years after your smart life segment, O'Reilly. I made an appointment. Let's just say I have more bandages on my face than you do. Okay, so I had here, here, and. here and then I got a big one on my leg. So Howard has got more. Two and a half years is too long. If you're over the age of 50, you got to get into that dermatologist. So what happens is if you don't, then if you do have some cancer intrusion, it metastasizes into a big deal and could kill you, as my father found out. Go to

the dermatologist is covered Medicare covers okay um you got lots of good stuff if you have gift giving given the next few months go to bill o'reilly.com team normal stuff still there love that team normal stuff if uh governor Huckabee Sanders has chosen vice president and that's my recommendation for Donald Trump then a team normal surge back because she is the originator of that as you'll remember where the day one of my favorites I've been using a while do not be a popin jay P-O-P-I-N-J-Y excellent back with a final thought about how all our lives are changing and many of us don't even know it in a moment okay final thought of the day change in America now

wherever I go and I mean everywhere across the board what's gonna happen what's gonna happen, what's going to happen? Trump going to win, Trump this, Biden, that, right, by, I don't know. Why don't I know? Because there are going to be things that happen, changes in this country between now and November. Big things, unexpected things are going to happen. And we're living at a time where changes are accelerating. Not exactly sure why. So I did the O'Reilly Factor for more than 20 years on the Fox News channel. The presentation that we came up with in 1996 pretty much held throughout those two decades. We tweaked it. We brought in new celebrities personalities. We sped it up. Okay, we did a number of things. But it was essentially,

the same. Okay, now it's all changed because the concentration spans of Americans have plummeted because of the cell phones, the smartphones. So they can't sit there any longer or won't sit there. How do I know this? Books. When Killing Lincoln came out, phenomenon, there was a huge market. And you had borders, bookstores. You had Barnes and Noble all over the place. You had Amazon was, you know, there. But there were people going to bookstores. No more. The book buying public has shrunk because of the phones. And people don't want to spend hours reading a book. No matter how fun the book is, or how much they learn. because the phone delivers instant gratification over and over and over and over.

And you play the game, you can go wherever you want, you can do this, you can do that. There's a book. You got the book. It's 300 pages. You have to sit, you have to read the book.
