Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, November 14th, 2022, stand up for your country. Well, the midterm election was a scandal. A scandal. Now, I'm going to explain that. And I can't tell you how livid I am about certain states and what they are doing right now. Now, it's not about voter fraud. It's not about, you know, mailing this and drop off that.
Starting point is 00:00:46 It's about efficiency. And whenever you have chaos and we do have it in four states, you're going to have corruption. chaos leads to corruption. So we're going to get into that. But first, President Biden, as you may know, is overseas. He met with the Chinese dictator Xi today, and that is the subject of this evening's talking point's memo. All right, some context to this, which you'll get nowhere else,
Starting point is 00:01:10 which is why you're listening and watching the no spin news tonight. China's economy is in trouble. 1.5 billion people, most of them very poor. They don't have the basics of life. Some don't even have electricity out in the western part of that country. It's a huge country. And most people just get by. And the economy goes south, there's going to be big trouble.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And you've got a big COVID comeback there in China as well. So here are the facts. So the producer price index, which is the overall indicator of the economy, is down 1.3% in October from a year ago. And that is not good. Okay? It's the first time that the producer price indexed fell since December 2020 in China. But here is the key stat.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Prices for pork, which is big in China, pork, up 52%. They can't afford it. Fruit up 13%. Now, China's stats are not reliable, so this is shocking. It's probably worse than that. Okay? And then the export economy. China makes its money, unlike the United States, in selling products abroad because they have slave labor there. There are people who don't make any money. So they make the hats and the shirts and everything else.
Starting point is 00:02:35 And they send it abroad and they make a profit and it comes back. It's what their economy is based on. It's an export economy. It fell 0.3% in October alone. Okay? expectations were for a 4.3% rise in exports in China, and it fell 0.3%. Again, this is dangerous in a population that is living on the margin. So Barclays, the World Bank, cut its forecast for China's economic growth next year to 2%. This is nothing. China's in trouble. And COVID, in the last two weeks, COVID cases reported 600% up. 600% in two weeks in China. So there's lockdowns. That means soldiers come in to your area and you can't go out, whether you have COVID or not. Not everywhere, but a lot of places. So this is the atmosphere of the meeting between President Biden and President Xi. Bali, Indonesia,
Starting point is 00:03:54 a place called Nusa Dua. I've been there. A beautiful place. They say that the meeting took three hours. On our side, Secretary of State Blinken was there, Treasury Secretary Yellen, Jake Sullivan National Security Advisor, Nicholas Burns, American Ambassador to China. And the Chinese he said, all a bunch of people there. So, this is a quote from the Chinese news agency, which is, you know, the government tells them what to do. The discussion were thorough, frank, and constructive. That doesn't mean anything. But here's what's interesting. She is quoted as saying, we hope and always have strive for maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan straight. But Taiwan independence is as incompatible to peace and stability in the Taiwan
Starting point is 00:04:44 as fire and water. So she's not backing away. Chinese are going to make a move on Taiwan, but now is not the right time, in my opinion, because their economy is so fragile. And once they do that, there'll be sanctions like with Putin, which are really breaking Russia. And we're going to do a big investigation on Putin next week when all this election stuff clears. Putin is in trouble. She knows it. Now, the Biden side, the American side, says that the two agreed that nuclear weapons should never be used. Chinese did not put that out. That was a message to Putin. China didn't say anything about it. So you can't get anything out of Biden.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's just a bunch of gibberish because he doesn't really want you and me, anybody else to know what's happening. But here's the only sound bite we could pick out to show you. Go. Let me start with a few words about the recent elections held in the United States. What we saw was the strength and resilience of the American democracy, and we saw it in action. And the American people prove, once again, that democracy is who we are. There was a strong rejection of election deniers at every level from those seeking to lead our states and those seeking to serve in Congress, and also those seeking to oversee the elections. And there was a strong rejection of political violence and voter intimidation.
Starting point is 00:06:08 There was an emphatic statement that in America, the world of the people prevails. I have no problem with that, but of course, Biden is overlooking the scandalous nature of the election in some states. Overall, the American election helped Biden a lot, because people obviously don't really understand, you know, the intricacies of our system. And Biden survived, he wasn't embarrassed. And so it helped him. But she and Putin and everybody else know that Joe Biden is a weak president. And before, in the next two years, I expect him to be challenged by China. China's not going to take a chance that some tough guy is going to get elected president in 2024.
Starting point is 00:06:59 So I expect something, but I don't, of course, know what. All right, let's go back home, the vote scandal. So four places are just scandalous across the board. board, Arizona, Nevada, California, Alaska. So Arizona government race still not called, and the margin is about 20,000 votes. The Democrat Hobbs leading the Republican Lake. Now, that's nothing, 20,000 votes. And there are two House races in Arizona is still not called.
Starting point is 00:07:32 So Republicans are probably going to win the House, squeak it out by one or two. But in Arizona, we still don't. know. Now, Arizona is a tiny state. And they can't, this is almost a week. They can't count their votes. So, a strong president would have moved federal monitors in already. But the deuce is going on. What's the matter with you people? You can't count the votes in Arizona? Two house races, those are the most vital. Because if both of those go to a Republican, then the House will be Republican. All right. So I think Hobbs will probably beat Lake, but I'm not sure because the margin very thin. And it changes hourly. Now in Nevada, same thing. Tiny state. Finally, Cortez-Mastro,
Starting point is 00:08:25 the Democrat candidate for Senate, beat Laxol, the Republican, but only by 6,000 votes. Six thousand votes out of about a million cast. So Laxal should ask for a recount, but he won't because he'd have to pay for it. In Nevada, if you want to recount, you've got to pay. So Cortez is now the winner of that Nevada state race. I'm shocked. Really? I am absolutely shocked that Arizona and Nevada are now blue states.
Starting point is 00:09:00 What happened to Western independence? What happened? People don't have a lot of money in Nevada and Arizona? they're getting killed oh california ten house races haven't been called now everybody goes california liberal state most of those house races are in the conservative interior of california ten they can't count the votes in a district after a week what is going on this is such a scandal i can't even tell you all right um and then in alaska they have this insane uh first choice second choice this that Alaska the senator whether it's
Starting point is 00:09:49 Makowski or a tishabaka will be Republican the governor will be Republican and there is a house seat up there but it looks like that's going to go to a Democrat because of this insane system, but they still don't know. They still don't know. And it's only 300,000 people voting. Not even 300,000 people voting in Alaska. They can't count the votes after a week. Boggles the mind.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And the only solution to these things, because the Constitution gives the states the right to monitor federal election, is to send federal monitors in. monitors in to see if there's corruption, to see why these people can't count the votes. That's it. Biden's never going to do that because the Democrats want this. It works to their advantage to have a disorderly election.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Okay. So I'm really, this should never happen in America, ever. But it is. So Pelosi, who I don't believe is going to be speaker any longer, and it'll be the end of her. Thank God. She goes on ABC and says this. So do you think President Biden should run again? Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:11:12 President Biden has been a great president for a country. He has accomplished so much, 10 million jobs, over 10 million jobs under his leadership, working with the private sector, of course. He has just done so many things that are so great. Baghdad, Barbara, that's all she is. She hasn't created 10 million jobs. I mean, this is not true. All right, and we went over this 15 times. When you start from zero because of COVID,
Starting point is 00:11:43 it's not you creating the jobs. The jobs come back because COVID isn't there any longer. Baghdad Barbara, there she gets. Ah, she's sombering. Good riddance, boy. That, and this isn't partisan, and nothing to do with party, but that woman, with that amount of power for all those years. Oh, how much damage he did to this country?
Starting point is 00:12:08 All right, let's bring in a guy who's a lot smarter about elections than I am. His name is Zach Smith. He works for the Heritage Legal Foundation coming to us from Washington, D.C. He is an election expert. Did I make any mistakes in my description of where we are in the midterms right now? Mr. Smith. Well, you're absolutely right, Bill. This delay in counting the votes is absolutely shameful. Unfortunately, what we've seen are certain states and certain election officials are refusing to administer efficient, safe, secure elections. Look, that should really be a bipartisan
Starting point is 00:12:41 issue. Whether you're a Republican, whether you're a Democrat, whether you're an independent, everyone should want to make sure that the votes are counted quickly and that they're counted accurately. Unfortunately, certain states, the states that you mentioned, Arizona, Nevada, California, Alaska, and there are others for having great difficulty in meeting that very low bar. And I suspect part of the reason they're having difficulty doing that is because they've been sloppy in their election processes and procedures. You know, one of the things we did here at the Heritage Foundation, we compiled an election integrity scorecard and we ranked the states one to 50 on how well they did in terms of making sure their elections were safe and secure and how efficiently
Starting point is 00:13:24 they could administer that process. And it shouldn't come as a surprise that California ranked 49th out of 50 and Nevada ranked 50 out of 50. And so if the citizens in those states would require their elected officials to get serious about this, they could see a much better system being implemented. Now this is a partisan statement I'm going to make, but before that, we're going to Would you be kind enough to send me the heritage rankings, and I'll use it tomorrow on the NOSPIN News? I'd like to have to.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Happy to put it up to everybody's sake. Okay, so my contention is Democrats like the chaos. They like the mail-in ballots. They like the drop-offs. They like all this, because it's easier for them on their ground game, which they have a much better ground game than Republicans do. That means that people in the precincts that go out and cajole people to vote and things like that. they round up votes. It's much easier to do when you have a very loosely monitored situation. So Democrats don't want reform. My opinion, am I wrong? Well, look, Bill, you know, we do policy,
Starting point is 00:14:31 not politics here at the Heritage Foundation. And so certainly it seems to be that many Democratic-run states or liberal-won states and jurisdictions are having serious issues, counting the balance effectively and efficiently. And part of the reason for that is that for so long, long these individuals particularly these individuals on the left have resisted implementing common sense election safeguards yeah they don't want it right but they don't want it for a reason mr smith they don't want it for a reason it's not just gross incompetence yes gross incompetence is in play but there is a reason they don't want to do what florida did so in 2000 the most famous american screw up election florida was just a disgrace all right
Starting point is 00:15:18 Well, they revamped the whole thing, and now Florida is one of the most efficient. I bet it's in the top 10 in your list, is it not? Florida does very well, and they deserve a lot of kudos for implementing common-sense legislation. Look, the problem in part, Bill, is whenever states move to enact these common-sense reforms that, by the way, are very popular across the political spectrum, across races, across genders, because they are such common-sense solutions, these states face lawsuits. often collusive in nature, where those who are bringing the suits find a favorable election official who will enter a favorable settlement. And so when you get Heritage Election Integrity
Starting point is 00:15:59 scorecard, we have 12 broad categories that we suggest states should implement that will help avoid many of the problems that we're currently seeing. Okay. Let's turn to the House of Representatives. I've been following this every hour. So frustrating because the ticker doesn't move. You know, we're in Monday night now, vote was last Tuesday night, and it's still in some place in California, some districts, small districts, this is not LA or San Francisco, 38% of the vote in, 40% of vote. Are you looking at you? But from my math, it looks like the Republicans will take the house by one or two. Is that what you have? Well, it certainly seems to be what's being reported right now. I know it's a much smaller wave than was initially anticipating.
Starting point is 00:16:47 participated. But look, I think going back to the original point, Bill, this is shameful that it's taking so long. Have you guys been counting the districts? Do you concur that it's likely Republicans will win the House? Or do you not know? Well, that is a question that is better answered by many of my colleagues at Heritage Action, the Heritage Foundation's sister organization and others. But look, the delay in knowing the outcome is absolutely. shameful is something that should not be repeated again. And if states will get serious about election integrity, running safe, secure, efficient elections,
Starting point is 00:17:26 they can take a look at the Heritage Foundation's Election Integrity Scorecard to find those best practices. Okay, so you're not going to tell me what you think. How about your colleagues? Have any of them gone on the record by saying they think one or the other party will take the House? Well, look, I think at this point we have to wait for the votes to to wait for the votes to come in.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Okay, I got it, I got it. I'm just looking for, you know, look, I got my own method of doing this stuff in Colorado, I think a Boert or whatever name is, the woman up in a mountain area, the state. She's going to win. That ticks it up to 213 and then 85 more. And then, as I said, the districts in play in California are in the Central Valley, in the conservative parts of the state. We got two in Arizona. Just driving crazy. Final question for you. This is a victory for Biden, I believe,
Starting point is 00:18:25 because he could have gotten wiped out and embarrassed all over the world and the Democrats could have been decimated. He would have been under pressure to actually leave the presidency if that happened. But now he's strutting around like a peacock. And I wondered if you had any thoughts on that. Well, look, I think unfortunately
Starting point is 00:18:43 the Biden administration's policies have been incredibly harmful for us as a nation. He's often taken unilateral executive action beyond what he is constitutionally or statutorily authorized to take. And so I'm hopeful, although I doubt it will happen, that the Biden administration will take a different tact and will certainly not take actions that are unconstitutional, are not statutorily authorized. All right, Mr. Smith, we really appreciate it. Thanks for coming on today. power politics and the people behind the headlines i'm miranda divine new york post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast podforce one every week i'll sit down for candid conversations with washington's most
Starting point is 00:19:27 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. Donald Trump. Now, there's no question that Donald Trump was a factor in the midterms, and he helped the Democrats. No question about it, okay, because of the election denier thing. From the very beginning, I suggested to the president himself in private conversation and on this broadcast that that is not a winner.
Starting point is 00:20:20 2020 relitigation is not a winner. Tees off a lot of independence. Independence broke four points for the Democrats, which was the difference. It's interesting because more Republicans voted for Republican House candidates by a margin about 5%. So overall vote for the House, Republicans won out by 5%, which is pretty healthy margin. But on the independent side, they broke for the Democrats largely because of the denier January 6th. And if you were watching any of these commercials, I mean, they just waived it. You know, Trump and this, and they linked the Bulldog, and they linked the guy in Arizona and Tudor Dixon and Michigan to Trump. and the denier, and it worked. It worked. I mean, if anybody said it worked, they're not telling you the truth. It worked. So, that being said, you then step back and say, well, what is Donald Trump's
Starting point is 00:21:24 future? Remember, 80 million people voted against him. They didn't vote for Biden, by the way, and you know that. He voted against Trump. Does he have a political future? So my message is today on Bill O'Reilly.com and my column, both on the election. I hope you go to Bill O'Reilly.com and read them. And it's free. You don't need to be a premium member or anything like that. You just go and messages there every morning. Column's there every Sunday.
Starting point is 00:21:50 I think they're provocative. But what is Donald Trump's future as a presidential candidate? So Jason Miller, one of his top guys, says tomorrow night at Ma LaGo in Palm Beach, he's going to announce it's going to run. That's what Miller says. I don't know. I haven't talked to Donald Trump in a while. I don't know what he's going to do.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I know he wants to run, but is he going to announce tomorrow night? Miller is a guy that's close to him. And Miller's saying, yeah, he's going to announce. All right. And they even put a 9 p.m. Eastern Time slap on it so they get primetime TV coverage. Okay. I don't have analysis now on Donald Trump running or not, whether this is a good thing for the country or not. I know at this point in history, he's not the power he used to be.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I think even the MAGA supporters would know that. You have to know that. But the man is incredible, and he can come back. But can he get those independents over to his side? Boy, that's tough. And it is a tough, tough road. So anyway, when he announces, we'll analyze what he says, and I'll get as much inside information tomorrow as I can. But at the same time, this is swirling around this week.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Vice President Pence is out on a book tour. But you got a book. And the left-wing press is using Pence against Trump. So Pence goes on with David Muir, ABC, and the headline is that Pence says Donald Trump put me and my family in danger. You know, okay. Pence has refrained from bad-mouthing Trump, although Pence was not happy about Trump trying to force him not to certify the election. and Pence was right. Constitutionally, Pence was right. So you've got to be that in the book. But what you should know is Pence is going to do a big thing on CNN, on Wednesday. So the left-wing press is using Pence against Trump. Ironically, for the left-wing media, dissantis at this point,
Starting point is 00:24:24 the governor of Florida, is more dangerous to the liberal cause. than Trump is. That could change. That could change. But by attacking, continuing attack and undermining Trump, you might get a stronger candidate, DeSantis, in 24. But all of that is swirling around. Now, you know me, I'll tell you the truth as we see it and we'll back it up with facts. These early polls, DeSantis versus Trump, they're just bull. I'm not even going to reporter. Usually I report the stuff and tell you, ah, there's a bunch of crap. But I'm not even going to report that because it's still too turbulent around. People aren't figuring it out yet on a Republican side. There's a lot of angst on a Republican side. They like DeSantis and they like
Starting point is 00:25:15 Trump, some of them. There's a little, I'd say 20% of a Republicans don't like Trump. I think everybody in the Republican Party likes DeSantis. All right. So that's where we are. on that. Let's go to the border. The Border Patrol guy down there, Christopher Magnus, is out. So Biden throws him under the bus, and is this going to improve anything? No. It's a scapegoat deal. It's like, oh, well, we fired ahead of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Hey, it's your fault, Biden. 100% your fault. You. Get you fire anybody you want, fire yourself. You're the one that put the open border in, and now it's chaos. El Paso, Texas, it's a big town. Their airport is almost unusable.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Almost unusable. There are so many migrants at the airport. And listen to this. So the Biden administration says they're going to give a private agency, the enunciation house, $7 million, to take the people in the El Paso airport to Denver, to Denver's airport, so they can fly out of there because El Paso can't handle it, and Denver's much bigger. So they're $7 million more taxpayer money. shutting these people around. It's, what a, you know, with the economy, the open border and the crime, I had no idea Americans would be this foolish to do what they did last week in the election.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Disney. Now, here's the company that DeSantis destroyed. DeSantis did this. So Disney's got a big show. on Broadway, the Lion King. In that show, there are people who interpret the words for the death. One of those people is a guy named Keith Wan, 53 years old, professional guy, and by all accounts,
Starting point is 00:27:16 does a great job in signing for the Lion King. He's fired because he's white, okay? So the quote from the agency that hired him and now fired him, theater development fund, is that in the current social climate, you can't have a white person signing for black performers. To his credit, Mr. Wen has sued in federal court and he'll win. Disney'll settle, okay? And there's another woman who got booted too.
Starting point is 00:27:57 it's just unbelievable so disney and basically say hey you know even though these people good they're competent but they're white and uh lion king's got black performance so they can't do the sign language of the black performance horrible the guy who runs disney is named bob chapik okay total fool all right he's a CEO um and he now is going to lay off a bunch of people working for Disney, but we won't say how many. The reason is that Disney's quarter missed its mark by a billion dollars, and the streaming service lost nearly $1.5 billion. This is Disney Plus.
Starting point is 00:28:44 So Disney is hemorrhaging money. Why? Because traditional Americans, conservative Americans, I can do it. But I can do it. You know, you take your Disney and. Stuff it. It's a shame because Disney is magic for children and the children aren't. Political? Now, the parks still do well. But all are other enterprises and people?
Starting point is 00:29:10 No. Karma. Sign of the Times, New York City. Dope dealer, Manuel Pagan, 49 years old, Washington Heights, that's upper west side, way up in Manhattan. Cops harass him 20,000 fentanyl pills, 20,000 for Manuel, released on his own recognizance, Nobel, charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. Possession? Possession? 20,000 pills? I think Manuel is going to use 20,000 fentanyl pills? It should be possession with intent to sell. That give Manuel, 10 years in the state penitentiary. No. Nope. Now, Manuel will never be seen again. He's due back in court December 15. He'd never come back. They know that. Hockel knows that. The Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, knows that. Cops know it. You know, it takes a while to bring a case like that,
Starting point is 00:30:18 20,000 fentanyl pills. And fentanyl kills people. We all know that. Think New York State cares? Not at all. Dope deals do whatever they want. Heroin fine. Opium, fine, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl. Go ahead. We're not even going to hold you. Criminal justice does not exist in New York City.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Does not exist there anymore. And the people of New York City voted for no criminal justice. Because if they had voted for Lee's up, and the blacks broke 10 to 1 against Zeldon in New York City. That's why he lost. Zeldon would reimpose criminal justice. Hoke or not. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I live here. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. Smart life. Senior citizens, poll, one poll, taken by, on behalf of Bright Star Care, which is an in-home senior care service. General findings, 30% of Americans over the age of 55, were happiest in their 30s, 25% in their 20s. So back in the day, right, Glory Days, Springsteen, that's when senior citizens were most, happy in their lives. Interesting. Question. If you could do redo one major decision, what would it be? 20% save more money. Thirty-nine percent wish they received better advice about
Starting point is 00:32:08 money. Okay. So it's 60%. It's all about money. And that's why we do smart life to save you money. Okay. So the seniors, no, they don't have enough money. And they wish they had more. That's why I'm here. Final question, what advice would seniors give their younger selves? 41%. Would advise about education get as much as possible. 37% advise about money. 36% health.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Now, health, very important component. You know, sugar. If you're going to consume a lot of sugar, that's all the soft drinks and all the bread and all the candy and cakes and desserts. All right. You're going to suffer. You're going to suffer. and suffer big it's going to happen it's not a matter of it more sugar you consume the more you're going to suffer before you die smart life so we have a lot of products now that can wean you off
Starting point is 00:33:10 all that you don't have to be crazy you can still have some sugar but just cut it down 60 70 percent you'll live longer and you'll have a stronger immune system to fight off the inevitable this day in history november 14th 2017 you remember three ucla basketball players went to china to play and they stole stuff okay and the chinese arrested them and threw them in jail forever a la angelo ball cody riley jalen hall okay they were detained uh in a shanghai suburb for stealing stuff from a Louis Vuitton store. Now, the Chinese government wasn't going to let them out, but Trump had a meeting with Xi, serendipitous, okay, and went over and said, hey, can you let these guys go? And she did. Let them out. So they got home. Contrast to
Starting point is 00:34:08 Brittany Griner, the WNBA basketball player in Olympian, who brought a grander. Who brought a grander of hash, oil, to Moscow for her personal use, which was an incredibly dumb thing to do. They found it, and she's now been in prison for nine months, and she's been sentenced to nine years. Okay? Biden can't get her out. Trump gets the three basketball players out. Biden can't get Ms. Griner out.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So I point that out. this day in history. Okay, good mail segment, good final thought. We'll be right back.
