Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Thursday, May 9th, 2004, stand up for your country. Nothing made you to report on the Trump trial. I hope you read my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com. The whole thing is an embarrassment for the state of New York. and I'm not even sure my state, New York, can be embarrassed at this point. It's such a fiasco here with crime and punitive taxation and woke and far left governance.

I mean, I don't know if anybody holding office in New York, well, I shouldn't say that. There are some good people. But the state of New York, this trial, this Trump hush money thing, and I back it up in the message, I'm not going to, we went over yesterday, I'm not going to do that again today, but I hope you do read that on bill o'Reilly.com. So tonight I want to look at presidential leadership because it's in question again, and that is the talking points memo. So yesterday, Joe Biden made headlines when he gave an interview to CNN, friendly interview, Aaron Burnett, didn't challenge him, where he said, look, America is going to deline, delivering bombs and other heavy ordinance to Israel, if Israel invades Rafa, which is the last stronghold of Hamas in Gaza. So we got a map. I want to show you where Rafa is and the problems

here. So the Hamas leadership that isn't dead has fled down here. It's close to the border with Egypt. And Egypt wants no part of Hamas or refugees or Palestinians or any of that. So Egypt is sealed a border, you can't get into Egypt. So Netanyahu and the Israeli government, they want to kill Hamas leadership. Now, there have been negotiations floated, but Hamas refuses to release the hostages. This is estimated 150 hostages there. We don't know how many are dead, but in any ceasefire, you'd have to release the hostages. Doesn't that make sense to you? Or remember, in October Seventh, Hamas terrorists crossed the border into Israel and slaughtered 1,200 civilians. No military targets.

Kill babies, rape women, murdered them. I mean, come on. I mean, it was there 9-11. And the people who did it are hiding in their office, so you've got to go in and get them. But there's a way to do it. And I want to talk a little bit about that. But Biden basically is told Israel, you can't go in and bomb and kill civilians. Here's the problem.

Hamas hides behind civilians. They use civilians as cannon fodder, the terror group does. And so it's pretty hard to get them when their headquarters is below an orphanage or a hospital. Now, I do think you can do the Rafa invasion in a targeted way, and that's what I would advise. But Biden's basically saying to Israel, hey, you better do what we tell you to do, we, the USA, which is ridiculous. Israel has to defend itself. But if Israel goes in and just slaughter civilians, they'll lose. Israel's going to lose not only to war, but all subsequent help.

So there are two reasons that Biden made this public. The first is there are Arab nations that don't want the Palestinian civilians to be harmed. And Biden needs those nations. Roll the tape. I've been working with the Arab states. I won't mention them because they don't want to get them in trouble. But five leaders in the Arab community were prepared to help rebuild Gaza, prepared to help transition to a two-state solution. The Biden needs those nations, and I understand that.

There's no doubt about it. They, Arab nations, can be very helpful to the United States and Israel, particularly in a fight against Iran. We're talking Saudi Arabia, gutter, Egypt, and a few others. They hate Iran, and they can help us there. The second reason is venal. Okay, it's all about Biden. Biden knows that supporting Israel is hurting him in the polls.

among younger people and his progressive base. He knows that. They hate Israel. The progressives hate Israel. I think Israel is oppression, just like the United States. The progressive movement loaths this country. They want to change everything about it. We've gone over that.

Okay. So, I'm president. What do I do? I talked about it last night on News Nation with Cuomo. Go. He's got Burns, the CIA chief in Jerusalem right now. Burns should have done all of this quietly with Netanyahu and the defense minister of Israel, very quietly. He said, look, we can't supply you with heavy weaponry if you go in and slaughter thousands of civilians.

So no, if you do that, we're going to stop supplying you, and we're going to tell the world that we want to warned you and you did it anyway. That should have been done in private. That's what diplomacy is. But Biden didn't do it in private because Biden wants the progressives to switch over to his side. That's why, and that's bad. Bad for the world, bad for everybody. So that would have been the way to handle it. Now, Israel itself, they understand this. if Israel goes in and kills thousands of Palestinian civilians, even if those civilians are being used by Hamas, the whole world turns against Israel.

And then Yahoo can blow smoke and say, well, we'll stand alone, but he can't. Okay? You can't. You need the United States and NATO behind you. And believe me, the European countries, they'll throw Israel under the bus in a heartbeat. America is Israel's best ally.

And if you did that quietly with Netanyahu, don't embarrass him. I think you might have been able to accomplish with targeted strikes in Rafah. And that's the memo. I think it's a fair 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.

Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune in to my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in.

You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. So our international news partner is called Daily Chatter. You can get it on daily chatter, c-a-t-t-r, dot com. And the reason we interact with this agency is they have people all over the world. Okay, I can't hire foreign correspondents, but I need an agency that isn't ideological. So I can't use, for example, the economist out of England because they're progressives. I can't use Al Jazeera. They got booted out of Israel because they would take in Hamas propaganda and printing it as fact.

That's what Al Jazeera was doing. That's the way they got booted. Okay. It's very hard to get independent analysis. Daily Charter did a pretty good job. Okay? And, you know, I know the guy who runs in, he's been on the No Spin News, pretty confidence. And we ask them to say, okay, no, where are we as far as public opinion is concerned?

And he steered us, Phil Balboni, the head of Delhi Chatter, to a recent Gallup poll, which I had overlooked. I don't know why. And here is a summation of the poll, quote, after narrowly backing Israel's military action in Gaza in November, Americans now oppose the campaign by a solid margin. 55% currently disapprove of Israel's actions, while 36% approve. Okay. So why is the shift going on? Because the American media is not explaining what's happened as I just did in the Talking Points memo. I mean, they don't, look, you hear ceasefire you can't have a ceasefire with Hamas holding 150 hostages. You can't. That would be such a

dereliction of duty on the part of the Israeli government. If Hamas releases the hostages and And believe me, some of them are dead. Some of them have been murdered. Okay. Then you can start to talk about a ceasefire. Okay. So if you want to check out Daily Shatter, that's up to you. President Biden's schedule, he welcomed the Las Vegas Aces to the White House as the NBA, WNBA team,

who won the championship. How woke is that? I know, I'm happy the lady's got to see the White House. that's fine, but it's woke, all right? And then he goes to California, another California trip, third one, this year to raise money. So Biden's not doing a people's business at all.

None. He just doesn't do it. And he's on the plane, money, money, money, money, money. And the Democratic Party knows that Biden is not good for anything other than fundraising. And that's why they got them all over the place. Money, get the money, because it's not just Biden run in November,

it's the Senate. And right now, the Senate may go Republican. No, they got to get all this money that Biden's raising. That's why every day I tell you here, he's here, he's there, never doing the people's business. Now, yesterday in Wisconsin, Biden said some crazy stuff. And then on CNN, in addition to the Israel stuff, he said this, go. I mean, no president's had the run we've had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came to office.

9%. No pushback from Aaron Burnett. It's not 9%. It was 1.4%. That's a pretty big gap, wouldn't you say? So Biden goes on national TV says when he came at the office, inflation was 9%. It's a lie. It's an untruth.

But is it a conscious lie? I'll get to it in a minute. But the CNN interviewer should have been, no. You can imagine Biden's sitting with me. Okay? No, it was one for. What are you saying it's not? Why are you saying stuff like that?

Now, the people who don't know anything, okay? Well, yeah, when Biden came in, it was 9% inflation. No, it wasn't. In fact, since Biden's been president, prices for the essentials of life have risen about 20% to this day. By going, oh, inflation is coming out, it's 20%. That's a lot. Under Trump, four years, prices rose 8%.

It's a 12% spread. But by, oh, no, no, I had the best economy. I created all the jobs. You didn't create all the jobs. Once the COVID pandemic subsided, then people, people went back to work. And you're counting that, a job creation. All right. So I know that many anti-Biden people, hey, he's a liar, he's a liar. Okay, here's another one. So Biden went to school at Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, okay, as an urchin. It's a Catholic school.

He had a teacher named Timothy Riley. Riley spelled his name wrong, but that's okay. Okay, so Biden tells stories about Mr. Riley, rule of tape. My theology professor at the Catholic school I went to was a guy named Riley, last name, and he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers, and he decided to become a priest before that, so he didn't go. but every single solitary Monday that Green Bay won we got the last period of the day off

now Biden's in Wisconsin when he says that Green Bay of course in Wisconsin but it's not true it's not even close to be a jerk okay so Father Riley, Professor Riley whoever he was he's dead he died

in recently just recently April 22nd. He's dead. He was interrupted by the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay Pack goes, no, we haven't. Okay, so now you have, in one day, Biden lying about inflation and telling a phony story about his former teacher. So you go liar, liar, liar, liar, okay. I'm telling you this is what's going on. He doesn't know. what he is saying. What does that mean? He has no censor in his mind.

Whatever pops into his mind when he's speaking, he says. Trump does that, not at this level, but whatever pops into Trump's mind when he's on the stump when he's having a rally, there's no, well, maybe I shouldn't say that or should it a different way. So Biden, because of his declining mental acuity, word of the day, whatever pops into his mind, he says. So he doesn't know whether the Green Bay Packer story is true, but he didn't care. The 9% inflation, that's what he wants to believe. And he knows the press will not call him on it. Okay. I know you disagree. And Bill. at Bill O'Reilly.com, and fine. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. So with the media

corruption being at an all-time high, the national media's corruption at an all-time high, this is why Biden get away with this. All right? You can say whatever he wants, and nobody's, nobody holds them accountable. And the late-night comedians, the three of them, are a good example of this, of what's happening. So most Americans are catching on that the news industry and the entertainment industry on television, it's corrupt, not honest. So the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the week of April 29th, okay, average 1.4 million people. More people watch me, okay? Late Show Colbert, 2.3 million, Kimmel, 1.6 million. All right? Those are minuscule numbers.

when you think about Johnny Carson and Jay Leno and David Letterman, those people. So nobody watches them. In fact, Fallon is down 33% in five years. Colbert is down 23%, Kimmel is down 2%. Because Kimmel never had the audience anyway. Now, what's happening, why this is happening, is because the late night guys will only do progressive liberal comedy and guests. They won't book it.

I can't get on any of those shows. even though I was on Leno and Letterman all time and on Kimmel too, but not now. It's all left way. Here's what happened last night on Colbert. I think what we're looking at right now is some significant stakes for the country about the future of our democracy. I don't think that anyone should be hiding from that or talking around that. So I don't try to be anything other than who I am. and I don't try to do anything but present what my point of view is in an informed way.

I do it with facts. All right, that's Jen Saki, former Biden spokeswoman. I have dubbed her the queen of disinformation. But in Jen Saki's mind, everything she says is fact-based, everything, because that's what she wants to believe. Now, would Jen Saki report that Biden misled the end? entire world by saying that inflation was 9% when he took office? No. No, wouldn't mention it. So she says, well, I base everything on facts. No, you don't. You don't report what you don't want to report. Anything that would make Biden look bad, you're not, you're going to ignore it totally.

And she's on MSNBC, if you don't know. I don't know how anybody would know because nobody watches MSNBC. Okay, again, it's it. But when you add it all up, you see what's happening with late night morning programming, the news agencies that run, the nightly news broadcast. When you see it all, it's gone. And so Americans are adrift. They don't have anywhere to get the information. Let me make one final point. This is interesting. So on Tuesday, Indiana had a primary. All right, inside the primary, Trump got 78% of the vote. Nikki Haley, 22%. So that's a pretty big number for Nikki Haley because she's out of the race, right? Well, here's with the left-wing press. said go niki haley who's been out of the race for two months got a hundred and twenty five

thousand votes and twenty one that's got to me that's gotta mean something niki haley somebody who's no longer actually running taking a substantial share of the votes but still what you're seeing in indiana is a large number 22 percent haley actually delivering a warning sign for the former president and last night's republican primary in indiana while trump did win former candidate nicky haley grabbed 22 percent of the vote even even though she dropped out of the race in March? All those people were lying to you. All of them.

Okay? So that it was MSNBC and ABC News. They're all lying. Why were they lying? How were they lying? It was an open primary. Anybody could vote for anybody. Nikki Haley got 22% of the vote

because Democrats crossed over and vote for it. just like New Hampshire. Remember New Hampshire? Democrats wanted to embarrass Trump. So they voted for Dickie Haley. Because Biden was a lock. And they were instructed to do that. Why didn't NBC News report that?

How about ABC News? Why didn't you report that? No, no, it looked bad for Trump. Dickey Haley, got to what he has a message. Totally bogus. You know, I know you're not in my business. Just woo. All I can do is expose it.

If I could, I go in with a sledgehammer, but I can't. Security would grab me and I would be prosecuted in the state of New York. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Biden is panicking about the border.

So the latest is going to be new standards for asylum seekers, the biggest con in the world. So today, Biden administration announces that no longer everybody going to be allowed in while their asylum claims are adjudicated, which takes five years, that means there's an open border. You come on in, you tell the U.S. authorities, I want asylum, they go, what's your name? You give them the name. They give you a plane or bus ticket. You're gone. And then maybe you'll get a summons to appear sometime, which you probably won't even answer. That is an open border. Now Biden says, oh, we're changing, okay? And how they're changing is that the individual, Homeland Security personnel on the border, can turn back asylum seekers if they want. Again, here's what I said on News Nation. Go. So right now, what you're asking the Border Patrol to do, and the Border Patrol is overwhelmed

is to basically cherry pick who's not going to get visa consideration. So they can barely contain what they have now. So now you're going to line people. You can get it, but you can't. And there's no explanation. nation, it's all subjective, and the border patrol is not going to be able to do that. Then you imagine, they have all these hundreds of people coming on, no, you, but not you, it's impossible, all right? And the Biden administration knows it, knows it, it's just smoke

and mirrors. Schumer is behind this. Senator Schumer, he's behind this board of thing. Remember, he was behind that insane law that Republicans wouldn't support. that if you read the law, all it did was provide more money to give more foreign nationals a chance at asylum. That's all it did. It didn't stop anybody. And the Republicans said, what? This isn't Board of Security.

And then, oh, no, we had a solution. It's smoke and mirrors. And the final point is, no matter what they come up with, the Biden administration, Republicans aren't going to support it. They don't want to lose the issue. Okay? So they're not going to support anything at this point. And Biden doesn't need any of this.

He can write an executive order tomorrow and change the visa application. He doesn't need Congress. He doesn't need anybody. He can do what Trump did, remain in Mexico. He could do it. Biden won't. So the dishonesty level that we are dealing with in America now is through the roof. The dishonesty of the American government.

And all goes back to leadership. Okay, there was a vote in the House of Representatives on the, equal representation act. You know about this? Of course, everybody ignored it. So the Equal Representation Act would require that the census ask a question about citizenship. Are you a citizen? U.S. citizen. Okay, the vote was 206 Republicans voted yes, we want that law, and 202 Democrats voted no. All the Democrats voted no. They don't want to know in the sentence, in the census, who's a U.S. citizen and who is it? That makes sense to you?

Every Democrat and every Republican said, no, we want to know. So it passed the House. Schumer gets it now. Yeah, okay. Never. And that's why Republicans have to win the Senate in November and keep the House.

All right, Denver. Oh, lived in New York. Denver for two years. Some of you know that. KMGH TV, which back then was a CBS affiliate, great place, great town, love Colorado, all right, and learned a lot, won an Emmy, did really good work. And then Denver was a traditional town. Now it is crazy left wing. So Denver is a sanctuary city is welcomed thousands and thousands of migrants, and it's now overwhelmed. doesn't, can't put in places, can't handle them. The migrants then have set up encampments in Denver, in the city, the capital city of

Colorado, and they won't leave. And the mayor, Mike Johnson, crazy left, and the governor, Jared Polis, not crazy left, but very sympathetic to the left. They're not doing anything about it. So, this week, the migrants issued a list of demands on the city of Denver. The migrants are demanding. This is what the demand is demanding. Ready?

Migrants will cook their own food provided by Denver, the city. So you have to give them food, they're going to cook it, because they don't want you to cook it. Migrants will have shower access anytime they want. Okay? Are they coming to my house for the shower? shower, I don't know. Migrants will have medical, free medical visits. Okay, I don't get a free medical, nobody in Denver, I know gets free medical visits, all right. Migrants cannot be removed from their encampments. Migrants will get work permits to get a job in Colorado right now.

and they will get free immigration lawyers paid for by the state of Colorado. The city will provide privacy for migrant families. I don't know how they do that, and all migrant children will get free transportation to and from school. As well as a list of demands, and you better give it to us because we want to nap. These are people who entered the country under dubious circumstances, for sure. Better. And there they are. There's the Mayor Johnston and Governor Polis.

They trade that in Florida or Texas or Alabama or even Virginia. I don't think they get too far. Rents. Do you rent or do you own? Okay. It's better to own, but very hard to buy a house now because of Joe Biden. Because interest rates are up so high. It was hard.

So some people are renting, and rents are up 30% since Biden took office. Okay? Here are the most expensive rental cities. Atlanta, this is not, this is a rising the fastest, rent's rising the fastest. Atlanta, Charlotte, North Carolina, Miami, Phoenix, Tampa, Baltimore, Cincinnati, wow. Vegas, New York City, San Diego. So if you're planning to move there, you better bring a lot of money. The average rent, all across the country, $2,000 a month.

according to rent.com. Smart live. So I am trying to book a little vacation after the presidential election, because I'm going to be like this. We're going to give you the best election coverage you have ever seen, I promise. But that's going to require a lot of work on my part. And I am willing to do it because this is so important. So from September to November, I'm going to be crazed working.

And I got Confronting the Presidents coming out September 10th, which I'm going to have to promote all over the world. So by the middle of November, I'm going to need a vacation. Sure, I'm not going to take a long time, but so I want to get down to the Caribbean because that's what, you know, I'm snorkel and and whatever, a big water guy. So I'm going to give you the best smart life tip that you have got travel, and here it comes. If you go to TripAdvisor, which is a good website, and you look at hotels or Expedia or what's the other one,

because of the V, I don't remember, but they do commercials all over the place. They give you a, this is how much the hotel costs, a night. What they don't give you is all the fees. And the fees have now overwhelmed the cost of the room. So I'm picking on the Ritz-Carlton Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico. Nice place. And I just picked it out of a hat. I have no beef with them. So May 17th to 19th, All right. Next weekend. Not this weekend. Next weekend. You want two nights, Friday, Saturday in where it's called in Dorado Beach, right? Okay. There's so much of cost. They will give you a suite that sleeps six human beings. Okay. Ocean View, two double beds, non-refundable. But if you book it, you lose your money, and you can't go. The suite costs, okay, $6,000 a night.

$6,000 a night. That's $12,000 for two nights, okay? Included in that is nothing. That's just it costs as sweet. Now, if you get six people, that's a grand a night. But then they slap you with fees of $1,380. dollars so your total for two nights is 13,712 dollars with all the fees you got a resort fee you got a hookup for your computer fee you got a pool fee you got a beach fee you got a parking

fee even if you don't park you got um i view i don't know it's can you believe this so it's almost $14,000 without tips or anything like that and without food you don't get food all right and that's just I can give you a thousand examples so what I do is number one I would never even consider this in the past but I'm looking at all inclusives where you get the food and the room still very expensive okay but If they're going to give you three squares, and I don't drink, but they throw in the booze, and you get a decent one, and I'm not recommending any, because I've never been to an all-inclusive. It's a little, you know, I don't really trust it, but I'm looking at it.

But you, when you book a hotel room in a Caribbean or anybody else, anywhere else, you've got to look at what their fees are, the hotels. It is insane, smart life. The stay in history, May 9th, 1949, Billy Joel was born in the Bronx, okay? And he moved out to Hicksville, Long Island, which is where I first ran into him, Levitown Parkway. So Billy Joe's a genius, musical genius. There's no doubt about it. Sold 160 million records.

All right, 33, self-written top 40 hits. 33, including this one. she's been living in her hometown girl she's been living in her white street guy i bet her mother never told her why i'm gonna try and for her hometown girl she's been living in her white grid world as long as anyone with hot No, he's not a downtown man. That's what I am. No, he's not a downtown man any longer. Billy Joel's worth $250 million.

That's the estimate. That's probably baloney. It's according to Parade magazine. But anyway, it should be worth a lot more. And the reason he isn't is because his manager in the 80s was his brother-in-law. okay um his ex-wife elizabeth's brother and the manager stole money from him a lot of money and joel wasn't paying attention joe sued him he got nine million dollars in a settlement according to forbes but that was a pittance of what the guy allegedly because it never went to

criminal court uh took from billy joel but anyway uh known him long time good guy great show great show get a chance check it out on apple okay we got mail and we got a final thought on mother's day coming up right back let's go to the mail we got wayne a concierge member we implore you for your own good to check out concierge membership on bill o'reilly dot com it's a insurance policy for your life so please check that over the weekend uh stormy daniels extorted $30,000 from President Trump, says Wayne. Why isn't she in jail? Because Trump didn't file charges.

Got to file charges. Stephen, concierge member, I've served on two juries and proud of doing my duty. Given my limited experience, I've always believed that jurists will do the best of their ability. I'm not so sure in this case. I had a very interesting debate with Sean Hannity about this yesterday. It's on Bill O'Reilly.com, on his radio program. I think that it'll be a hung jury. How many thinks Trump's going to get convicted?

And we both give our reasons. It's worth a listen. Christopher Haggerty, Winchester, Virginia. Bill, any chance you might be commenting on the five candidates for the Virginia Republican primary Senate race. No chance. We don't do local and state races. Can't possibly do that and bring you all the news

that affects your life directly. I mean, people in Idaho, they care about what the primary system is in Virginia? No. Eric Eisenhower, Dallas, Texas. But when you first announced you would be appearing on Cuomo, I thought you had lost your mind, but now I understand why you do it.

I'm very glad you do. I love watching the segment each week. It's really worked out. I think for Cuomo, for me, We get a totally different audience out there, and here's some common sense. James Milner, Kesswick, Virginia, Bill, please get this straight. When Trump said there are fine people on both sides in Charlottesville, was he talking about white supremacist and counter-protest,

this was when he talking about the removal of the Confederate statues. So I've gone over this 4,987 times, James. That's how many times I've gone. over this. It's in the United States of Trump. The book I wrote about him. I can't do it every day. Now, it's obviously about the Confederate statute, but I know you can't watch all the time.

John Sato, Hicksville, New York, Billy Joel's hometown.

Do you think Republicans regret their decision to get? rid of Republican Santos, thinking the Democrats would reciprocate if people like Senator Menendez and Congressman Quayar got in trouble. Nobody ever thought that Democrats would reciprocate. Santos had to go. Period. You got to do the right thing. You don't do the right thing because you think somebody's going to reciprocate. You just do the right thing. All right, Thomas D. Sia. Thomas is in Armagh, New York, and Westchester County. Bill, I don't agree with you all the time, but you're reporting a fast two months has been stellar.

If you want to reach me, by the way, bill at bill o'reilly.com bill at bill o'reilly.com name in town so my mom's um anniversary of her passing was tuesday of this week she would have been 101 years old winniford angela o'reilly okay yonkers new york uh born 1923 greatest mom i mean if that woman is not in heaven

none of us have a chance. I mean, really, really fine, fine mother. And she only did one bad thing to me. And I remember because I was so shocked that she was in a bad mood and kind of whacked me for something I didn't do. I still remember because my mother was so fair and so nice.

She just drove us everywhere, play ice hockey in the winter. Greatest mom. And I was lucky to have her because my father was a pretty tough guy. My grandfather was at NYPD. The paternal side of the family, it would tough. But I love both my parents.

I was very respectful to them. I handled everything for them, everything. And I have a foundation named after my parents, the Winiford and William O'Reilly Foundation, charitable foundation. And we give away millions of dollars. And on Monday, I'll be with Geraldo on the Autism Benefit out here on Long Island.

And we do. We do not take donations from anywhere else. It's not like the Clinton Foundation where they fly around on private jets, charge it to the foundation. That's what I do. So all the income that we generate here, a lot of it goes into the foundation, and we do a lot of good because I supervise where that money goes. You take my money and you're not doing what you should do. You've got a problem with me, and you don't want a problem with me. Okay?

So anyway, Mother's Day, you know, Mom, I hope you're watching all the good things that are happening here. your grandchildren are prospering and thanks for being a great mom and thank you for watching and listening new column on Sunday we'll see you on Monday
