Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, May 10th, 2020, stand up for your country. This is one of those broadcasts were a pen and paper will be handling. We're going to give you very important facts. And why do you want facts? because in your life, you're going to be speaking with people about important things, and if you are armed and dangerous with facts, you will enjoy the conversation a lot more. So by far the worst failure of the Biden administration is the economy. What a mess.

All right? Most every American is losing money. Some can afford to lose the money. Some can't. It is Joe Biden's fault. It's not Congress. Okay. It's not Putin. It's not COVID. It's Biden. But he will never admit that. So today, he tried to save himself by giving a 20-9 minute speech about inflation. We will go over it in a methodical and fair manner. And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So Biden was 30 minutes late, as usual, never on time. And the reason is that he's prepping, that he's reading the teleprompter behind the scenes. They change words for him that he can't say. So it takes longer for him to get it together. Today, as I just said, he spoke for 29 minutes. He took questions, but only on inflation. So no abortion questions, nothing else, just inflation. He has a very tough, persuasive road to go down, all right, because of the facts.

So today, gas prices reached an all-time high in the United States of America, $4.37, on average, all-time high. I'm going to give you the stat under Trump in a minute. So this is up the 437, about $0.25 a quarter compared to a month ago. Just a month. Gas goes up $0.25 a gallon. Okay. Stock market, crazy. Insane.

All right. So the Dow Jones has decreased 12% since January 3rd, first trading day of the year. NASDAQ, 27%, a third down. Those are high-tech stocks. things like that most americans have investments in their retirement accounts so we're all losing money when you get your statement you're going to cry now my advice and i'll say it again don't panic don't do anything ride it out now that advice may be bad i hope it isn't but i'm doing the same thing i'm riding it out i had stops i lost a lot of my stocks that's okay okay but the ones that i have i'm

I'm holding. I'm not going to panic some. Now, this is going to be the key issue in November. Everybody knows that. I mean, people are crazed now about abortion and January 6th. None of that's going to matter because people's lives depend on money. It's not just in the United States. That's all over the world. You have no money. You have no power. You can starve to death. You need money. Biden's taking. money away from Americans. Trump added money to Americans. Now, I don't care whether you like Trump or not. I don't care what party you're in. That is true. Here are the facts. So under Trump, inflation ran 1.4% in the four years. One point four. That was nothing.

Biden's 16 months, about 10% when you add in everything. So that's an astronomical jump. So today, Biden tried to explain it. Roll the tape. But first, I want us to be crystal clear about the problem. There are two leading causes of inflation we're seeing today. The first cause of inflation is a once-in-the-century pandemic. And this year, we have a second cause, a second cause, Mr. Putin's war in Ukraine.

You saw, we saw in March that 60% of inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for gasoline. Oh, Putin did it. Okay. Before Putin invaded Ukraine, under Biden, gas, the price of a gallon gas had written from $2.93 under Trump, last week of Trump, $2.99. 93 cents when Trump left to $3.75. Almost a 30% jump before Putin. Before. Why? Because Biden attacked the American energy industry.

And the oil futures market, which sets the price of a barrel oil, spiked right after that. They went, ooh, Americans are going to cut back on their oil production, so that means that the price of oil worldwide is going to go up. is going to go up. That's what happened. Now, Biden doesn't understand that. He doesn't know it. He just reads what they put in front of it. So the facts are, and I'll give them to you again, inflation under Trump, 1.4 percent, under Biden, 10 percent. Gasoline, $2.93, Trump left office, before Putin, $3.75. Now, $4.37. So even if Putin was responsible,

It's a little jump. The big jump came after Biden attacked the fossil fuel industry. Okay, we all have that. There's no dispute on these stats. Now, what's Biden going to do to bring inflation down? We'll take it. Americans have two potential to pass forward. The first is my plan, a Democratic plan.

Plan put forward by Congress and Republicans is a second alternative. Here's how each of us would tackle inflation. My plan is to lower everyday costs for everyday costs for hard work in Americans and lower the deficit by asking large corporations and the wealthiest Americans to not engage in price gouging and to pay their fair share in taxes. Okay, that's going to do nothing. Nothing. That's just foolish. You would flunk your economics class if you wrote that in a paper to your high school or college. teacher. Okay, here's my plan. Lower employer, and then that doesn't make any sense, so he goes,

and lower everyday costs for everyday costs for hardworking Americans. How? How? Doesn't say. And lower the deficit by asking large corporations and the wealthy Americans not to engage in price gouging. Well, wealthy Americans don't price gouge. They are just wealthy and to pay their fair share and tax. That means Biden wants to raise taxes when we're on the edge of a recession. This is dangerous. This isn't just stupid. This is dangerous. So we're on the edge of a recession now. The only thing keeping us falling over the cliff as we did under Bush the Younger, you'll remember, 2008, is that most Americans are working and earning money. Now, those wages are being eroded by inflation, but they have jobs, mass layoffs, more jobs than workers. The only thing. So now Biden says,

I want to raise taxes, fair share, that's the code, on corporations. So what happens when you raise taxes on corporations? They lay off people. Yeah, everybody knows that. Boom, over the clip. So this guy Biden, he's dangerous. He's a danger to us, to our welfare. Now, the 80 million Americans who voted for him, most of them, of course, voting against Trump, if you don't know that now, if you can't figure out that you're, you voted for a dangerous man, a man who's hurting you and your family, then you're either too dumb to understand anything or you're dishonest. There's no other third way. You're either too stupid to understand what's happening right now in the country economically, or you're dishonest. You think Putin is responsible for

inflation and higher gas prices. I mean, I don't know anybody who thinks that. Okay. The last soundbite, and I knew this was going to happen, I told my staff, this is going to happen. When it happens, give me the soundbite. Roll it. restrictions on abortion or what limits do you believe there should be as because I don't I want the story to be about inflation now now now responding okay now the question should have been do you discourage protesters from camping out in front of the Supreme Court justices homes that's what the question should have been okay yes or no but Biden's not

going to answer those questions but we know what he thinks because he has not discouraged people from camping out in front of the Supreme Bureau. It's just his homes. All right, under Trump, I'm going to say it again, inflation was almost non-existent. The Dow Jones, in the four years Trump was president, increased 51%. The NASDAQ 125%. I was under Trump, the Trump economy, which worked for everybody.

For the poorest of the poor it worked. poorest of the poor it worked. So that is it. There is no other issue in this country right now. That's it. Because when people get hurt, when their families are put in jeopardy because they don't have enough money to exist, they're going into debt, whoever is in charge gets booted. And this is Biden's fault. All right, on the abortion front, there were some protests last night. As we said yesterday, protesting in front of the Supreme Court Justice's home is against the U.S. Penal Code 1507. So Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, should be out in the press conference saying that and saying, please don't do this.

And if you do it, then FBI agents will arrest you. But that will never happen under the Biden administration. So in Justice Alito's home, about 100 people last night, this is in Alexandria, Virginia. No violence. They're just chanting aboard the court. You know, there's no violence. They didn't do that. But Biden and Garland won't call them off. We won't say that's not right. Don't do that. You want to protest outside the Washington Monument or wherever you want to do. Okay, but don't go to private residence and do it. That's wrong. Now, that's not hard to say. Okay. U.S. Marshals, people don't understand a moment. marshals are the protective agency, the FBI are the arresting agency. So if you violate federal law, which is what this is, these abortion protests in front of the judge's homes, that's the FBI. It's not local police. Now, local police can detain, but that's a federal law. Do we all get this? So Garland hasn't even, as far as I know, alerted the FBI, any of this. We don't see them, and no arrests have been made.

Chicago. So Mayor Lightfoot is saying to people around the Chicago area, they call it Chicago land, to come to Chicago for abortions. So Mayor Lightfoot knows a lot about death since more than 4,000 people in Chicago have been murdered since 2016. for 1,000 murdered in the streets. So Mayor knows a lot about death. You may be an expert in death. Okay? Here's what she said.

If you look around Chicago, we've got a number of states that have the so-called trigger laws that would ban abortion upon the reversal row. So we've seen a substantial increase already, and we're expecting, frankly, an explosion of new cases from women in Wisconsin, Missouri, potentially Michigan, Indiana. None of those states are going to ban abortion. So, I mean, she's just not telling the truth.

And by the way, let me just go back to Biden for a minute. Life doesn't care about the truth. Biden believes what he says. You know, I mean, people go, oh, my, it's lying, lying, lying, lying. If you look at it lying, you have to know it's not true and say it. Now, it's not an excuse for Biden. I'm not making an excuse. But he believes what he said today about, you know, oh, we're going to bring prices down by raising taxes and telling companies not the dowage.

He believes it. He believes Putin caused inflation. He, Joe Biden, believes it. But that's frightening because he lives in a world of delusion. The leader of the United States is delusional. Okay. George Floyd protests. This is interesting.

We have a lot of protests now about Roe v. Wade. Okay? Well, you go back to May 25th, 2020, not that long ago, two years ago, okay? And you had riots all over the United States objecting to the demise of George Floyd. In fact, 13,600 people were arrested in those coast-to-coast riots. thousand six hundred well what happened to those people an organization called a prosecution project all right follows this and this is based in george mason university in virginia okay now i think the project's in dc so out of the 13,600 arrested charged possible trial

11. Charged no trial, that means dismissal, 45. Guilty plea on a part of the rioters, 109. Found nine guilty, 55 total cases in the system, again out of 13,600, 100,000, around 10%. Now, the people that were arrested by and large are the bad, bad, bad people, not the people who didn't throw bricks at the cops or set fires. He's the worst. The worst, all right? The 13,600 that they actually arrested and booked and took in because the cop has read a report.

He said, justify taking a person down and giving it to the district attorney. He's got to write the report. He said, well, I saw some guy who just had a sign, I arrested him. No. So listen, 10% of the worst were were adjudicated. Is that amazing? Okay, town by town. Portland, Oregon, arrested 1100, prosecuted 165. Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, more than 3,000, all right, arrested, prosecuted about 2,000. That's not a bad record. New York City, 5,000 arrested. The city will not say

how many were prosecuted. However, in Manhattan, the DA dropped 64% of the cases, and in Brooklyn, 83% of the serious cases were dismissed. San Francisco, 127 protesters arrested in the George Floyd riots, zero prosecuted, no one. Houston, 796 arrested, 194 prosecuted, L.A., More than 3,000 arrested, 210 prosecuted, about 5%. Minneapolis, 800 arrested, 95% dismissed. How about that? Is that justice? Joining us now from Washington, D.C., Julio Rosas.

He is the author of a new book, which I read and I recommend, called Fiery but Mostly Peaceful. That's a kind of sarcastic title. The 2020 riots and the gaslighting of America. It came out May 3rd, the same time killing the killers came out, and I hope you buy both folks. All right, Julio, I gave the stats to the folks. You don't quibble with any of those stats, do you?

No, no, I certainly do not. Okay. So on, based on your eyewitness reporting, because you were in these riots, many of them, what were the worst situations that you saw? Well, probably the worst place was Minneapolis, was at the start of everything because just the country was just really unprepared because, you know, before everything was surrendered around COVID and the emergency response to that. So Minneapolis, in terms of scale, in terms of people who participate in the rights, in my opinion, what it was that I personally covered, it was the worst. I mean, yeah, we have these stats about people who were arrested and don't even wrong, obviously a lot of people were, but I can just tell you that it doesn't really reflect just really how, how.

many people were partaking in this i mean just looting vandalism even worse no destruction of probably setting things on fire i mean we're talking about thousands of people in just in just one city like like Minneapolis and in that case it's technically like two cities with with st paul being right next door which also experienced some pretty extensive damage as well so it's it's a pretty damning indictment on our justice system and and you have to also think about kind of how what we're seeing today, right? I mean, the part of the reason why we're seeing this crime way, wait, wait, let's stay with Minneapolis for a minute.

Did the police in Minneapolis, when you were there and watching, did they do their job or did they stand down? They tried to the best of their ability, but when I got onto the ground on that first Thursday outside the third precinct, which was the night when they were ordered to evacuate and it was eventually set on fire, but prior to that, they didn't have the manpower to stop just the lawlessness that was happening. I mean, right across the street, there was a whole, you know, stores and businesses like a Target and a grocery store, along with several other ones that were just being looted throughout the entire day. And the police couldn't stop it because...

And you say that cops didn't have enough people to stop it. I'm not sure about that. I don't know if they wanted to stop. Because they were primarily focused on protecting the third precinct because... Yeah, because they restore and they burned down that precinct. They failed in protecting it. That precinct was burned to the ground. So I think I see it a little bit differently than you do.

And remember, you have more credibility than I have because you were there and I was not there. But I don't think that the mayors of these towns wanted a strict enforcement of the anti-rioting laws. And I think that message was the cops picked that message up. Now, you were also in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the infamous written house, case took that's where that was what did you see there so with specifically the written house case I mean well first off I mean the context is that this happened in a riot mainstream media is just consistently labeled the written house shootings taking place during a protest which is not the case thought I mean they the

rioters were attacking the county courthouse for a third night in the row they were attacking the National Guardsmen it wasn't just police anymore they were attacking National Guardsmen and so naturally in response to that the long enforcement pushed them away from the courthouse. The problem is, and again, this kind of goes back to manpower, uh, they, they push the rioters away from the courthouse towards the people who were protecting, uh, private property from further damage because, uh, in the previous days, when they couldn't get close to the courthouse, they then decided to destroy other things that were unprotected. And so with the written house case specifically, it's just, I mean,

it just creates when we have this power vacuum that's created, uh, in these, you know, very chaotic incidents, you're going to get examples like Howard Nuss. Okay. So I think it's safe to say that there was very little planning that the police were not supported by the politicians by and large. Certainly in New York City here, the politicians didn't want to prosecute any of the looters, any of the people who hurt police officers and civilians. Cy Vance was the Attorney General, was the District Attorney I should say in New York City he had no interest in prosecuting anyone and San Francisco LA Chicago was the same way then you write a little bit about the capital

situation where there was a much more robust response to those who violated the capital broke in and created mayhem there correct yes and and and that's and that's kind of what makes January 6 so frustrating having covered you know both the 2020 riots in January 6 is that, you know, again, that was, that was a riot and people did do bad things. But when you look at kind of how hard the hammer came down on people who didn't even, who didn't even, who weren't even accused of writing or being violent, they still got the book thrown at them pretty hard when, and then you contrast that to like the Portland federal courthouse and the month-long siege that took place, I mean, there were people who were accused of attacking police officers and they had their case to dismiss. And so, really, when it comes to, you know, violence we get to violence. And it just creates this cycle that we're kind of in right now. And that's why there's concern with leftist reaction if Roe versus Wade is overturned,

you know, there's a good chance that they can go back to their previous playbook because they were able to get away with so much for so long. Possible. I'm hoping not. We're not seeing that level of violence as we saw with the Floyd situation. There is a difference, though. in Minneapolis and Kenosha, Wisconsin, and New York City in San Francisco, these are local crimes, all right? So they're adjudicated on the local level.

In the Capitol, that is a federal crime. And it's much more serious to violate federal law than state law. It sounds hollow because if you kill a person in a state or you kill a federal official, they're both dead. But the federal apparatus is much tougher than the state. apparatus, particularly in a liberal place like Portland, Oregon, so they don't really care about enforcing the law. Did you factor that into your analysis of January 6 vis-a-vis George Floyd? You know, absolutely. And as I say in the book, like, it's not surprising that the people who did break into the Capitol had the hammer kind of brought down on them. But the issue is that when

we're talking about whether it's not, you know, what is justice? and what is just, well, you would think the DOJ would look at, especially again, and that's why I pointed to the federal courthouse in Portland because that was federal property. And yeah, granted, a federal courthouse is not on the same level in terms of significance as a capital building. But when we're talking about consequences, you know, my opinion, anybody, you know, it doesn't matter what their causes or, you know, what their side is. But when you go on and commit criminal acts, especially to people who had nothing to do with whatever outrage was being caused, you know, they should be held accountable to that fact. But, you know, I can personally attest to that a friend of mine who was a freelance photographer,

he got swept up and the FBI is going after him, even though he didn't commit any crimes at all. And so it's just- He was in the Capitol building, taking pictures, I assume. No, no, he was outside. He never went inside. So he was outside, the FBI arrested him outside? It was, no, this was months after the fact. Okay. caught up on surveillance, I'm sure. All right, Julio, the book is fiery, but mostly peaceful. And

if you want to know what the inside stuff is on the George Floyd riots, that is the book. We appreciate your time very much. So there is a lawsuit filed by the state of Florida. Attorney General Ashley Moody has sued the Biden administration. Didn't get a lot of publicity. and basically the lawsuit is that the Biden administration is allowing the release of illegal migrants into the United States, and that's a violation of federal law. So the Biden administration filed for dismissal of the lawsuit. And yesterday, Judge Kent Wetherill II, pointed by Trump, denied it. And here's what the judge said.

up on the screen, quote, clearly and unambiguously, the law state that aliens arriving at the border shall be detained, not that they may be detained, and that the site of provisions of 1-2-5 expressly require aliens to be detained until removal proceedings have concluded, and that does not authorize defendants to circumvent the mandatory detention requirement as it is allegedly doing through the challenge policies. So that's pretty good. That's pretty good. So the Biden administration says,

we don't really care that the federal law at the border says you have to detain until the asylum claim or whatever is ruled on. We don't care. We're going to bust them or fly them into wherever they want to go in the United States. direct violation of the law. Now, the reason I'm telling you this is because if this lawsuit is successful by the state of Florida, which it may be, that's grounds for impeachment on Joe Biden. Just this. Just keep your eye on it. Nobody else reporting it. No, it's been news. It is unique. 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.

Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5776 or text bill to 99-88-9-8-9. Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899.

Okay, Penske truck leasing. So you want to move and you want to pay a big mover to come in, you throw all your gear in Penske. So Penske has listed the top cities where Americans are moving to based upon the rental data. top city number one Houston I'm surprised you know you said yeah got some problems down there a little hot and humid nice town I was there in December but you know I don't know Vegas yeah a lot of opportunity in Vegas Phoenix Sunbelt down there Charlotte North Carolina hot hot hot town not climate wise it a little warm in the summer but Charlotte real estate markets smoke. Denver, San Antonio, Dallas. So people want to go to Texas,

obviously. Orlando, Florida, Austin, Texas, third Texas City. Chicago, surprise. Must be the suburbs of Chicago. I mean, I don't think people are clamoring to go downtown, although social problems. Anyway, I thought that was interesting. And here is a study from the University of Bath in England. Okay? So I've been to Bath and the reason to go to Bath is you got Roman ruins there. Okay, the Romans had a big encampment in Bath. Nice town. It's west of London. Anyway, the university studied 154 people between the ages of 1872 who use social media a lot daily. Okay. And the conclusion was, if If you don't go on social media for a week, one week, then everything in your life gets

better, okay? So you have an improved mood, less anxiety, bigger appetite, I guess, and no depression, and it's better. So if you're a big social media user and you go cold turkey for a week and don't use it everything in your life goes up you're not interesting okay this day in history may 10 1773 the T act now you're saying O'Reilly why are you boring me with the T act of 1773 because your freedom that you have right now stems directly to the T act okay you wouldn't have the freedom you have now without it so this was another foolish thing by

King George who ruled the colonies. So King George gave the British East India Company a monopoly on tea. Everybody drank tea because it was cheap. No coffee wasn't big back then. No Starbucks in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Tea. And it was cheap and everybody drank it, both in England and in a colony. So now one company has control of all the tea means they raise the prices of monopoly.

Now, the king, I'm sure I got a big kickback from the British East India Company, which is why he did it. Money, always money. Anyway, the colonists didn't like this at all. They had to pay more money for tea. The price on tea went up and the tax on it. So the Boston Tea Party happened. I'm not going to go into that. If you don't know that, I can't help you.

But the colonists dressed up like Native America. Americans, they went into Boston Harbor. They dumped half. What was the thing I used on radio? The stat is unbelievable. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in today's money worth a tea. Three ships. Boom. All the tea ruined. Oh, King didn't like that at all. So, he passed all kinds of other taxes. And then the Sons of Liberty, which were the ones who did the Boston Party, started organizing the rebellion. and the rest, as they say, is history. Now, here's something you don't know. Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, back in 1773,

condemned the Boston Tea Party. Franklin thought it was boorish. He didn't like the Sons of Liberty anyway. He thought they were way too crude. And Washington, I'm not really sure why he criticized the Boston Tea Party. He wised up about two years. years later, but Franklin and Washington were not on board with the Boston Tea Party. See how much you learn here watching us? Yeah. Okay, so we're going to take a quick break. We have a final

Bill O'Reilly.com, premium and concierge membership for Father's Day and for yourself. So, Wayne has direct access to me, but he posted this on the message board. If we are no longer a noble nation, it is because we lack noble leaders. Some truth to that, Wayne.

But also, the nobility of our nation has been corrupted by the corporate media. I can't tell you how that powerful media, has changed everything in this country. And I saw it firsthand. Larry, I want every protester who evaded a Supreme Court justice property who invaded and violated the federal law to be arrested in jail in the same prison as the January 6th illegal assailants. It's not the same. It's just not. the capital intrusion so far is a lot worse than these people holding signs outside Alito's house. You got to keep the crime in perspective. Now, if somebody would break into a leader's

house or throw something or burn, yes. Then it'd be the same, but not yet. George, concierge members, since protesting outside of judges' home is clearly a crime who has ordered the police to stand down and do nothing while the negligence to go nuts. Again, it's not a local police situation. They are there to keep order, and I assume that police in Alexandria of Virginia are keeping order as best they can, and I guess they could detain and wait for the FBI to come on arrest, but they're never going to do that. I'm just not going to do it.

It's the way age we live in, the country live in. Jack Oaks, Hillsboro, North Carolina, I fear the abortion issue has long legs and will influence the November election by creating a rally cry for Democrats. Okay, Jack, I disagree with you. I think it's all about the economy, but you may be right. We'll see. Barbara Williams, Lake Oswego, Oregon, why are our Democrat candidates for the primary saying they will fight the Republicans wanting to end Social Security? Because this is more propaganda. So Senator Scott from Florida proposed a law, which will never pass. In a million years, Republicans aren't backing it. That every five years, all the entitlements, including Social Security, be, looked at, re-evaluated. That's one guy, turned her to sky from Florida. McConnell just said,

you know where we're doing it. That's not going to happen. But the Democrats, they don't care about any of that. It's just propaganda. Boom. Oh, they take away to Social Security. Paul Bailey, Kiaha, Hawaii. Why do you see a viable candidate? Who do you see? Why can't I read today? as a viable candidate for president besides Trump in 2024. Well, obviously DeSantis in Florida would be the frontrunner. All the polls show that. That's not a genius analysis. I think Senator Tim Scott in South Carolina would be viable.

I think there are a number of Republican governors who would give it a go if Trump doesn't. But if Trump wants to run, I don't think anybody, including DeSantis, is going to primary him. Dale Benzine, Alpharetta, Georgia. At one point, do you see the U.S. people saying, enough to the financial support of Ukraine. I don't think so. I think most Americans want Putin to get his butt kicked, and if we can help, we'll help. Tim Ferrante, Keyport, New Jersey, Mr. O'Reilly, Killing and Killers is a riveting read and a stunning achievement.

Well, thank you, Tim. I appreciate that. Please tell us your writing process with Martin Dugart. Dugard does a research, all right? It takes us about a year to write a killing book. So I outlined a book. I picked the title. I outline a book. I give it to Marty. I say, we need to know X, Y, Z, XYZ. We go chapter by chapter. His research comes into me in narrative form. I shape it into the stories that you see, and that's how it goes. Very disciplined operation. Killing to Killers 11th book, most successful, nonfiction book series of all time. And we hope you check out Killing and Killers. You will like the book, and it's an important book.

Okay, at 9 p.m. this evening, 9 p.m. Some of you are listening to me on the radio at 9 p.m. I understand that. But if you are a premium member and a concierge member to bill o'Reilly.com, we have an exclusive town hall for you. Nine Eastern time tonight. I will answer questions about killing the killers and anything else. We got a whole bunch of great questions already, really good questions. And we'll have fun. It's a fun town hall meeting tonight, nine Eastern time. Word of the day do not be sardonic when writing to me. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name and town if you wish to opine. Back with the final thought about you and social media in a moment.

Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. 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 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. So final thought of the day, I get thousands of letters from all over the world, and I read as many as I can, which is, I'd say, 50%, you know, when they come in, we have

screeners, so if you're cursing at me, or I'm like, that just gets thrown away. But the good, intelligent letters get to me, all of them. But what I'm seeing is a lot of conspiracy stuff, okay, and it's starting to bother me. Dan, who lives in the villages in Florida, the big O'Reilly territory, he writes me, put the on, and let me read this letter. Bill, do you think that it's possible the Mexican cartels are paying the Democratic Party in return for the Biden administration keeping the southern border open? No, that's impossible. That would never happen. That's crazy conspiracy that a criminal enterprise that sells narcotics would pay one of the two major political parties in America to keep the border open.

So I know this stuff floats around on the Internet all the time. These conspiracy things, I get them at least five to ten a day. The most insane. Now, I'm not mocking Dan. You know, I don't do that, but think about it, how crazy that is. Now, these websites, they don't care how crazy. All they want is clicks, so they're going to put up all these misleading headlines. I see it every day in my research.

They mislead you so you click in, and they can tell the advertiser, we have this many people. But it's a lie. Once you see something that that's outlandish, don't go to that place anymore. You know, life's too short for that. There are honest websites like Bill O'Reilly.com on and we never do that. Everything has to be backed up. By facts, we don't do conspiracies here. You know, I wrote Killing Kennedy, the biggest conspiracy in modern times was that everybody shot JFK, except Oswald.

And I demunked every one of them with FBI documents, with local police documents, Document, document, document, document. All that Kennedy conspiracy stuff was just bull. Okay? That's the biggest. But every day I see conspiracies, don't get caught up in that. Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
