Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Thursday, July 1st, 2021, stand up for your country, especially on this July 4th weekend. All right, so we have an indictment of a Trump executive in New York City. I'm going to get to that in a little while. It's a little nebulous, a little shaky, and I'll give you all the facts. Okay, first, Joe Biden's schedule, he's down in Miami.

A little tape on him. His schedule is meeting with the people affected by the terrible condo collapse and the responders. And that's what Joe Biden should do, all right? Basically, you've got a situation where it's a horror. You're sleeping in your bed and you're building collapses. And it's going to be like 160 people dead. So it's good he's down there. I'm glad he's doing it.

There's a collapse itself. It happened last Thursday. And we have a special report next Tuesday on a kid, a 15-year-old who survived this. It's an exclusive report. I didn't want to do it. He lost his mother, and I don't want to, I want to give it some space. So we'll have that on Tuesday. So then Mr. Biden begins his Bringing America Together tour over the weekend, which we mocked yesterday.

And I told Bernie and sit on W.A.B.C. this morning, it reminds me of the happy together tour by the turtles. America's not together. It's not even close to being together. Mr. Biden is going to Michigan and the vice president's going to Nevada and other people are going all over the place who celebrate the vaccine victory over COVID. All right. But they're not going to say, hey, thanks Donald Trump for getting a vaccine. And so it becomes political and boring. Nobody will even pay attention to it.

But that's what's the weekend going on. Okay. So there's a pullout and it's from Reuters News Agency, which is a left wing, news agency, and it's a bogus poll. A party affiliation is 45% Democrat, 35% Republicans, 8% unknown. Why would you even bother doing a poll, Reuters? Why spend the money? All right, this is just a bogus poll. 4,420 adults they spoke to online. So I was about to throw this poll out entirely, but then I said, wait, it's broken down on party lines. So let's just analyze a Democrat response to approval of Joe Biden's presidential leadership.

I think that's fair, right? So you've got 45% Democrats, and the first one is gun violence. In April, 62% of Democrats said, yeah, Joe Biden really, he's going to get guns under control. Now, 44%. 18% crater because people heard that stupid speech. Like, I'm going to, we're going to solve the gun violence situation by cracking down on gun dealers. Oh, stop, will you? So even Democrats, and I shouldn't say even in a pejorative way, but his own party,

so there's a bunch of hooey. So he's collapsed 18% in two months on that. The economy has collapsed 12%. Okay, so in April, 75%. approval. Now, 63% approval, and that's just wishful thinking. Because if you don't know you're paying more for everything, then I don't know what to tell you. You ought to give me your money, and I'll manage it for you if you're in that bad a condition. Taxation, April, 64% of the Democrats love the raising taxes. Now it's 12, 52% down 12 points. All right, racial inequality. 72% said,

Joel Joe's doing a good job in April, 66%, now down six, because Biden has stuck by his equity, favoritism, a platform that will give minorities more than we'll give white people, which is unconstitutional, and we'll prove that in a moment, but Democrats like that. Immigration finally, April, 52% approved, not a big number, and now 48%. So below the Mendoza line of 50, even Democrats, again,

even his own party says, hey, Joe, you're not cutting it on immigration. So all of these are very bad numbers, all of them, for Joe Biden. And I have told you the first six months of his administration has been a disaster. If you really step back and look at it unemotionally, it's been very bad. And I don't think he's going to improve, but I'm willing to let it unfold. As I said last night, I think President Trump campaigning to be president again is too early. But that's just my opinion. Now, I've been to meet with the president on Wednesday, as I mentioned to you.

That's one week from today on next Thursday. We will have that interview here, nowhere else. So the first will carry it. The W.A.B.C. will carry it on the radio. We will carry it on No Spin News. and it'll be, I know what I want to do with that interview. It's going to be very, very different than the usual interviews, Donald Trump. He knows that. He knows who I am.

And then we're going to talk about the shows in December, the four shows, the history tour. So we're going to get a preview of what he sees as being the benefit or deficit of those four shows. That'll be next Thursday a week from today. I will meet with him next Wednesday. I'll still do the show next Wednesday. because that's the kind of guy I am. I'm going to do the show, then I'm going to zip down a jersey. Okay, so C-SPAN, queried, queried, no LGBT stuff there.

That is a legitimate word. Presidential historians, about 80% lean left in that crew, and asked to rank the best and worst presidents. So I'm going to take them 15 at a time. And then we'll discuss where Donald Trump and Barack Obama fit. There's the first 15. Abraham Lincoln, no doubt he was the best president. I agree. Washington was second best.

Then FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower. Pretty high for Dwight. Truman, Truman was a good president. Jefferson, good president. JFK, undefined because he was assassinated so quickly. Ronald Reagan right after JFK, nine. That's a pretty good number for President Reagan. Then Barack Obama, that's ridiculous.

Lyndon Johnson was a bad president. He's 11 in the survey. James Monroe, more of a pinheady guy, but I don't know. I don't know where I put him. Woodrow Wilson was not a good president. He's 13. William McKinley, again, he was assassinated. John Adams 15.

Okay, come back to me. So that list is all right. I'm not jumping up and down about anything, as long as they have Lincoln in a number one position. and I thought Reagan did pretty well there. Okay, second 15, Madison. A little Jimmy was so-so president. Quincy had is much better.

He was the anti-slavery guy. Polk ran the government well and expanded U.S. territory, as you may know. Then Clinton 19 is ridiculous. That's just a foolish position for him. U.S. Grant was a disaster as president because of all corruption. That's foolish.

Bush the Elder, 21, no, nope. Andrew Jackson, oh, you can make a case. Strong president. William Howard Taft, 23, I don't know. A smart guy. Calvin Coolidge did pretty well. Grover Cleveland, nobody has any idea, including me. Jimmy Carter, 26, is absurd.

He was a terrible president. James Garfield assassinated. We don't even know what he would have done. What's he doing at 27? They took him out early. Ford, he only served three years. What's going on? Bush, the younger, 29, Chester Arthur, 30. Okay, bottom 15. Nixon, we all know what happened to him. Benjamin Harrison didn't do anything. Rutherford Hayes didn't do anything. Martin Van Buren was corrupt. Zachary Taylor died quickly, didn't do anything. Herbert Hoover was a disaster. Warren Harding.

worse than Hoover, Fillmore wasn't even there, Tyler was ridiculously terrible, Henry Harrison served 90 days in office, then Trump. Then the final worst president's Pierce, Johnson, and Buchanan. Yes, they were terrible, all three of them. So you can't evaluate Barack Obama or Donald Trump. It's far too early. It's far too early. You don't know what their policies are going to lead to. Trump did very well in the economy, but that's a short-term play. What about Trump's foreign policy? Was that better than Obama's? Obama's was pretty much let everybody do everything.

Trump was a tough guy. Can't evaluate them now. It's not fair. You've got to have at least 20 years after president leaves office. Interesting, though. C-SPAN, come on. All right, now here's, I think, probably the most interesting story of the day. So somebody leaked to political that Vice President Harris has

staff doesn't like her or the job or Washington or the air conditioning. I don't even know. But it was a leak, all right, out of Harris's camp, that Kamala doesn't have control over her staff, it's primarily it. So somebody wants to hurt her. Now, as you know, President Biden put her in charge of the border. And in a passive aggressive stance, Kamala Harris said, I'm not going down there.

And only went down there last week when ordered because Trump went this week. So there is not, and I told you this from the jump, there is no goodwill between Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden doesn't like her because in a debate, in the Democratic primary, Ms. Harris said that Joe Biden's a racist. Remember, I'm the little girl on a bus, that little girl was me. And Biden is not going to forget that. So Biden is looking for ways to kind of give her a little of this. Harris knows it. That's why Harris don't want anything to do with the border.

So writing in the New York Times, a Fordham University political scientist named Christina Greer says this, quote. No one has been able to solve the complicated issue of immigration and undocumented immigrants coming to the U.S. border. Yet Ms. Harris is charged with solving it. As a child of not one but two immigrants, and then I'm two leader of an imperial nation, does. She is charged with telling people in Guatemala do not come to the United States. She undertakes tasks at the pleasure of the president, but this particular role reminds me of Admiral Akbar's declaration in return of the Jedi. It's a trap. And Professor Greer is correct. So isn't this interesting? Okay. So after reading that column, Ezra Klein, who is a

Democrat fanatic, masquerading as a columnist for the New York Time, tweets out, this seems right. Kamala Harris will probably be the Democratic nominee in 2428. Biden's team should be giving her portfolios. They make it likely her she'll win. Instead they're giving her impossible problems that will likely become liabilities, unquote. So, you know, there's no pretense about where the New York Times is supposed to be a newspaper. It's not. they're basically working for the Democrats, and Ezra Klein is too.

Now, should I condemn Ezra Klein? If I did that, if I condemned Ezra Klein, then I'd have to condemn Carl Rove, who writes a column for the Wall Street Journal, because Mr. Rove works for the Republican Party. So I can't do that. As long as people know where you're coming from, and certainly everybody knows where Carl Rove is, I don't know, I don't think anybody cares about Ezra Klein, but these news. newspapers hire these columnists who are party people. That's who they are. I wouldn't do that. I think Mr. Rose is a smart guy. I don't know about Klein, but I wouldn't. If I'm a newspaper editor,

I'm not hiring a party apparatchnik to write for my paper or be on my cable show. I never use party people. I mean, during the campaign when I was doing the O'Reilly Factor, I never used surrogates, ever. Trump wanted to come on, but I'm not using your people. I didn't do that for Biden either. You know, I mean, it was, not Biden, Obama. It was Trump versus Obama. I didn't do that for Obama. I didn't use them. Everybody else used the surrogates, I wouldn't do it.

Because I know what they're going to say. They have to say that stuff. That's boring. Okay, so Kamala Harris, keep your eye on this. Now, she's never going to be honest and say, Joe Biden's trying to get me. Who Biden is? Okay.

This is another bogus thing. So Nancy Pelosi ram through a House vote that puts together a select committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Why? FBI is already doing that, okay? And you in charge of anything, Nancy Pelosi is political, and you're going to spin it. You're not going to be honest. You're not an honest woman. You're not.

You never have been. you're a party person. Okay. So all this is, and I told you yesterday, is to embarrass Trump, should Trump start to run again for president? And to embarrass the Republican Party for the 2022 midterms. That's all this is. So today, Pelosi appoints Liz Cheney to be on the Select Committee. Well, okay, but Liz going to lose her seat in Wyoming, I predict, because she hates Trump and she'll lose. Maybe I'm wrong. I was in Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, but I don't see a lot of support for Liz Cheney there.

Anyway, the committee will be run by House Democrats Pelosi. Okay, we'll have subpoena power so they can drag me in if they want, and will not be given a deadline to finish its work. I mean, it's going forever. What a colossal waste of money. All right, let's get into the Trump Organization. The DA in Manhattan, Cy Vance, fanatica leftist, indicted Alan Weisselberg, the CFO, chief financial officer of the Trump organization.

He's 73 years old. And basically, Vance says that Weisselberg took perks like cars and private school tuition for one of his grandchildren, children and a free apartment. He took it and didn't put it on his taxes. Okay, that's, that's the beef. It's pretty low-level beef, right? Most of the time, this stuff, and this happens all the time, and I'm not justifying it. If Weisselberg did that, try to get around paying taxes by getting perks and keeping them quiet, you can't do that, violation of law. But usually that's settled. It's settled quickly. Wieselberg pays a fine, pays back taxes.

taxes. It's not a dog and pony show that CNN and MSNBC can run with all day long. All three network broadcast will do it. Weisselberg, Weisleberg, Weisleberg. And Vance is hoping that Weisleberg goes, don't hurt me. I'll tell you bad things about Donald Trump. That's all this is. Now, I wrote a message of the day, and I hope you check in on Bill O'Reilly.com every morning for the message of the day on this, where I stake out the absolute hatred. that Cy Vance and the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, Havert Donald Trump, for years I've been trying to get anything on him. And this is the best they can do that the CFO of the Trump organization

may have taken a free apartment that he didn't tell anybody about. Now, Trump's going to say, and the lawyers are going to say, and this is the gifts. You're getting gifts. But there's a certain amount of money if you get a gift that you have to tell the IRS about. Yeah, that's what this is. all right this is all about that again i'm not excusing anything but i am telling you the truth the truth is this is a political prosecution that it goes against the spirit of our republic

it is fueled by people who despise and hate donald trump to an extent that's unnerving disturbing and taxpayer money is being used to this okay Cosby. Bill Cosby did it. Let me get that up front. If I'm a jury member in Pennsylvania, guilty. So, as you may know, he was convicted of assaulting a woman at his home, sex assault, sentenced to up to 10 years of prison, has served almost three. So yesterday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is elected, not appointed, I threw the case out because Cosby was lied to by the Attorney General's office of this state. Was it the Attorney General or the District Attorney?

One of them. Previous prosecutor. Anyways, a state prosecutor in Pennsylvania that lied to Cosby about this case, causing Cosby to make statements that pretty much convicted him. So it looks to me like the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did the right thing and throwing it out. Because you can't, if you're a prosecutor, just as we talk with the Trump stuff, you can't be manipulating the law.

You know, if Cosby made a deal with the prosecutor and then the deal was negative on, even if it's not the same guy, the office has to hold a deal. So, Cosby's out. So he's 83, he's never going to come back. that's that So as I said at the top of the program Joe Biden is holding firm to equity Equity is favoring one group of Americans

over other groups because of skin, color, or minority status, LGBT, whatever it may be. Okay, that's unconstitutional. So we are all, all Americans, all 330 million of us, supposed to be given an equal opportunity to pursue happiness. That's the Constitution. That's why it's built. Biden doesn't care. He doesn't understand a Constitution. He's just doing what he's told.

We said that a million times. So now the courts are weighing in on. The first case is a restaurant case. All right? So it's brought in Tennessee on behalf of Antonio Vittolo, who owns Jake's Bar and Grill in Harriman, Tennessee. So, Mr. Vitolo says, he's not getting his share of COVID relief fund because it's going to minorities first. And the court said, yeah, it is. Antonio's right. It's got to stop. Okay, that's number one.

Number two, U.S. judge blocks $4 billion in debt relief because of COVID to minority farmers. And this is easy. You've got to spread the COVID money out among all farmers. of all colors. You can't just say black farmers get more. The judge says that, no. Done. But just the fact that the progressive left and the president of the United States wants this is appalling. And we don't live in that kind of country. We have a constitution that bans that racial preferences. We can't do that. But they'll keep trying and trying and trying and trying and trying and trying.

So killing the mob, when I go out and I promote the book, I say that organized crime loves Joe Biden. And a lot of people, what? And I say, the reason they love him is a border. Because organized crime controls 80% of the distribution of narcotics in the USA, billions of millions of dollars, flowing to the mob. because Biden has opened the border pretty much collapsed any kind of barriers or any kind of orderly processing of migrants that's done most of the border patrol and ice have to process

the hundreds of thousands of people pouring in here that takes away from drug interdiction So the Border Patrol said yesterday, quote, the rising amount of fentanyl is being found in the desert transported by increasingly brazen smugglers who are exploiting stretched federal resources, unquote. The smuggling of fentanyl is up 4,000 percent. 4,000 percent. Thank you, Joe Biden. Fentinol will kill you, not if, when. Okay, it'll kill you. Cartel loves fentanyl, cheap to make everybody, all the drug addicts like it, buying it.

They don't care if they die anyway, you wouldn't be a drug addict if you care. Drug addicts want to die, most of them. Okay, so yeah, fentanyl, I'll take it. 4,000 percent. Methsiegers up 85 percent, heroin up, cocaine up, everything up, up, up, up. Countries are wash with dangerous drugs. Thanks, Joe. Does Joe know that?

No idea. See, I never could say this about Barack Obama. Barack Obama's on top of everything. Mistakes he made, he knew. Go by. Okay. So, Donald Trump with the board yesterday, you might have seen it on a Hannity program last night,

Town Hall, is with the Texas governor. It's unpredictable. was ruined the border. I had it under control. Okay. So CNN sends Jim Acosta, the chief Trump hater in CNN, and I saying something. They sent him to the border, and here's what happened. Thank you, everybody. Congratulations. apologize about January 6th. Okay. Now, the reason Acosta did that is because CNN is dying. And the only way that CNN won't go into the grave is if Donald Trump becomes a focus of attention again. So Acosta, you know, just stupid. And the crowd, of course, knows it's stupid and they don't like him anyway.

But just think about this. This is CNN's main guy. Guzana does something that stupid. And it is just stupid. What do you think the president is going to say? Yeah, yeah, I apologize. It's all my fault. You know, you want to ask a question. At least that's an intelligent question.

Okay, so let me back up the CNN. Boy, this is second quarter of the year is in television ratings. Okay. This is compared to June to June, 2020. 20. CNN prime time has dropped 57%. So that means it's lost six out of every 10 viewers it had last June. Gone into the wind. Okay. MSC, MSC, I'm sorry, MSNBC. You see, I'm so wired, I can't even say it. They're down 36% prime time. Fox News down 42%. Primetime.

42%. That worked there more than 20 years. We never had anything close to that. Ever. So what's going on is people are fatigued. That's another word for bored.

That's what's happening. And the worst thing you can do if you make a movie or a television show or on the radio, the worst thing you can do is be boring. But with CNN and MSNBC, oh, I said it, they don't have any credibility at all. Fox has some credibility with the conservative, traditional American.

They still have some credibility. The other two don't have any. So even the liberals, go, hey, am I going to waste my time watching an hour or that? No. Shocking. The shocking situation is in San Francisco. So this hurts me. I don't know why. I mean, I've always loved that area, the Bay Area, Monterey, Big Sur, Carmel, North Marin County, San Rafael, Mendocino. I just think it's a tremendous part of America. I love going there. Weather's great. So much to do. Food is good. Well, San Francisco is done. It's like CNN. done. So the Chamber of Commerce of the city, they're worried because they're not booking conventions,

people are leaving, their tax base is crumbling, crime is everywhere, homeless have taken over. So they do a poll. All right, it's an internet poll. About 520 San Francisco residents, 44% of the 520, that's a small sample. So they intend to leave San Francisco in the next few years. 44%. And that's hard to leave your home. Okay? 70% believe the quality of life in San Francisco has drastically declined. And it has. 70%. And that's the most liberal town in the country. Not like conservatives are angry. There are no conservatives. Basically speaking, So, San Francisco, this is what happens when you put progressive leftists in charge. It's happened in Chicago, it's happened to New York City.

So, you know, when I talk to people who are liberal, and I say, again, I know a significant amount of liberal people, I put this forth. They never have an answer. Their only answer is I hate Trump. That's it. or I hate Bush the younger when that was going on, the Iraq war, whatever it may be. I love Barack Obama. Okay. But it's a matter of administrating. It's a matter of doing your job. And a progressive left can't do its job because it doesn't want to. They don't want to solve the crime problem.

Wouldn't even admit the crime problem is caused by young black males in drug gangs. They wouldn't even admit it. You know, it's like saying, if you have a vicious dog, oh, that dog's not vicious. It's a chunk out of somebody's leg. But, no, not vicious. Okay. Now, one of the reasons in San Francisco is falling apart in addition to people leaving. And by the way, another stat, 650 percent, 650 percent.

exiting from 219 to the end of 220, all right, people leaving up 650%. One of the reasons is because San Francisco authorities in the city and county won't enforce a law. So they're breaking into cars, all right? Car breakings up 700% in some parts of San Francisco, 700%. Fisherman's Wharf in Chinatown. Used to be those two were the safest. When I ran a car in San Francisco two years ago, at the counter, the guy said to me, don't park your car on the street. If you parked the car in the street, so we need to break into the car,

particularly if you have anything on the seats, but they'll break in just to look in the glove compartment. They'll smash the window, and they'll break in. I said, well, is this every day? He goes, all of our cars are broken into. And I said, there's a reason? because even if the cops catch the person who breaks the window and goes into the car, they're not prosecuted.

No charges. There you go. New study reveals which U.S. City has the worst traffic. I get to told you this. New York. Start spreading the news. You don't want to drive here. So one of the reasons that New York has the worst traffic in the country, and this includes

Newark, New Jersey, and Connecticut. All right, is because there are 16 million people in the New York City metro area. There are 600,000 people in Wyoming, okay, in all the state, 16 million people. And when I was growing up, most families have one car, and now I have three cars, because the urchins have cars, and maybe grandma has a car. Okay? 16 million do the math. In addition, the rows have fallen apart. Pottles everywhere, this, and bam, boom, bab. And under Cuomo, the governor of New York, you could pretty much drive whenever speed you want. Now, I never got that because the state needs a revenue. I still drive.

I drive over the speed limit. I'm not going to lie to you. But I always cruise it so there are people going faster than me. And there are a lot faster. So if I'm doing 6870 and a 55, I got guys doing 80, 85, okay, like this. And they say, well, well, how can traffic be that bad if you're doing that? That's at night. I just drive at night. When I come out here to Eastern Long Island from my house in Nassau County, which is 20 miles from the city, I got to drive 9, 10 at night. You can't come out during the day. You can't get here. It's three, four hours.

Okay. Number two, L.A. L.A. My God. All right. There, there's a perpetual rush hour. It's not like morning, afternoon. It's everywhere.

Unless you know the local roads, you're dead on five. You're dead. And it goes all the way down to the border. It goes there, you know, San Diego used to be a little bit of a rest, but not anymore. And now they have toll roads you can go on which not quite as crowded, but L.A. is a disaster. Chicago. Chicago is basically, you're stuck in traffic because there's a Cunningham Expressway and Kennedy,

but there's not a lot of options. So, and then Houston and Dallas. When I lived in Dallas, it wasn't so bad. It's take Northwest Highway down into town. I never really gotten a traffic jam. Now it's crazed. So those are the top five. Wichita, Kansas the best.

Least traffic in the United States. Wichita, Kansas. This day in history. July 4th, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg begins. Now, it's 158 years ago. Most, they don't teach history in school anymore. So Robert E. Lee, is a very, very smart general.

And we wrote the book, Killing Lincoln. And if you really care about the Civil War, you got to read that book. And Battle of Gettysburg is big in that book. So Lee knew that he had to invade the North because there's too much pressure on Virginia, in particular, his home state. And the Union forces were getting larger and larger. They weren't doing so well. All right, the Union generals were bad.

McClellan was a disaster. and until Lincoln pulled U.S. Grant out of the West and brought him in as a commander, Lee was winning. So Lee says, we're going to go up to Pennsylvania to an area of Gettysburg, just north of the Maryland line, okay, and we're going to take some territory in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and hold it. And then we're going to pivot, and we might go right down and get Abe to Washington, D.C., because Gettysburg's not far away. So two armies mass, Lee's army and the Union Army under General Mead.

They mass. Now, the Union forces, they have more guys, and they have more cannon, and they have more bullets. But the rebels were better fighters, because a lot of the Union guys were draftees, whereas the rebels, they don't really have a formal draft, and they were experienced soldiers. So then the fight starts, bang. And it was the most hellacious battle on American soil in our history, and it was a turning point of our country. Three days.

And they really couldn't move. Or he's back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And then Lee says, I'm running out of morning. I'm running out of ammo. I'm running out of food. I'm running out of everything. I got to break through. I got to beat these guys.

Pickets charge. Union wipes him out. shoots him down Lee has to retreat Battle of Gettysburg won by the north Lincoln goes to Gettysburg Gettysburg Address all right

because they inaugurated a federal cemetery there I saw the Gettysburg address handwritten in the White House Barack Obama took me up to the Lincoln bedroom where it's in glass I almost cried because that's how emotional

I get about this If Lee had won, Lincoln might have had to sue for peace, and we would be two countries today. Now, slavery would have ultimately been banished, but it would have been a very, very different America. So think about that on the Fourth of July. So the Battle of Gettysburg took place 158 years ago today. Again, killing Lincoln, your best source of information for all of this, and you should know it, and so should the urchins. because if you tonight at dinner, sit down with your kids or grandkids and go, hey, Battle of Gettysburg started today, you'll get

uh, okay, uh, uh, and maybe they'll look it up, but they don't know anything about it. And that's what happened. That's an amazing occurrence. All right, we've got a good mail segment, some disagreement with me, which I like. And then we have a final thought about our culture, American culture. Back in a moment. 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, I are.

I do not know if President Biden will go to hell, this off our discussion of Mr. Biden abortion in Catholic Church. It appears he's preparing for it by turning America into a living hell.

That's pretty witty, Noreen. Andrew, hey Bill, love killing them off, Fantastic Reed. Ben Franklin said it best. Everyone is born ignorant, but it takes a lot of work to become stupid. I love Ben. Don't you love Ben? Hence, we see this in our cities falling apart, and nobody doing much about it. It's a good point, Andrew.

David, while you may have a problem with these various statues being removed from the capital grounds, many more Americans do have a problem. with it, Bill. I totally resent having our history removed. It's all about location, David. So in the Capitol building, if you have slavers on display with no context, like John Calhoun, Roger Taney, that's a little problematic. Now, I'm not for banning statues, but you've got to put them in the proper context. So somebody who was fighting to upholds, old slavery does not, in my humble opinion, deserve a place in the U.S. capital. You'll put them in the Smithsonian.

I don't have a problem. Dan Langen, Louisville, Kentucky. I respectfully disagree with you on Donald Trump getting reelected. Myself and several colleagues voted for him twice. I can't vote for him again. His ego is out of control. It's why he defeated himself in 2020. Why can't he admit he lost?

the election. Okay. So, Dan, a lot of people feel the same way, but remember, 72 million votes for Donald Trump, and he is an economic genius. I'm sorry, he is. And if the economy goes south, which is heading this, that way now, people are going to overlook the bombastic behavior, I think. Barry, concierge member, Bill Facebook comes in second to the iPhone in influencing our lives. Facebook has two sides good and evil. The good side, it's positive and brings people and families together. The evil side is negative and mean. I agree with that.

I'm not on Facebook. I've never been on Facebook. I'm frightened of Facebook. I have a face. I have lots of books. I don't need a combana. Okay. Kip.

Absolutely right about people not listening, Bill. Very obvious in restaurants where you have to ask for a fork, a spoon, or cream for coffee. You are usually talking to the backs of the wait staff as they walk away. Whatever you do, don't drive from a fast food restaurant without checking the bag. Yeah, I know. Shantal Leffler, El Cajon, California. Mr. O'Reilly, can't wait to read your new book, Killing the Killers. But doesn't it make you a traitor to divulge classified information? No, because this is all in the past. No, lives are at stake and no national security is a stake. We would not do that. We did get information that nobody else has, and it will be in killing the killers. And you should know it.

You absolutely should know it. Killing the mob is easy to read. Kelly Reeves, okay, and we hope everybody will check that out, killing the mob. Still number one. I'll deal with that in a moment. If you go to Bill O'Reilly.com, you could pre-order killing the killers out November 2nd. You can also get all kinds of great stuff and buy tickets to the Trump History Show. Where did the day do not be picky you now when writing to Bill O'Reilly.com? Final thought in a moment. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't.

You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. So here's the final thought. We got another dose of good news yesterday from the New York Times. Eight weeks at number one. Look at this. Look at this. Books been out eight weeks. Seven weeks number one. I think in the New York Times right now, they have to be going nuts over there, really. I mean, this is a phenomenon now. It's not just a book. So why do people like killing them off?

Number one, it's honest, okay, as all the killing books are. No spin in there, no propaganda, no speculation, none of that, okay? It's all facts. And the facts are interesting to people because we all live them. We know a lot of these people, Frank Sinatra, the Rock and Rock. Rollers, the actors, Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe. These are all contemporized. And killing the killers is contemporized, too. We live this. And so it's more, there's more connection here. So that's why killing the mob, boom, like this. And I'm not bragging. I'm grateful for everybody
