Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News from Monday, November 25th, 2012, stand up for your country. Short week, but a lot to tell you about. It's before we went to air. Jack Smith, special prosecutor, said to the judge, hey, I think we should drop all this stuff against Trump. who predicted that that might be me okay and uh donald charm having a very happy thanksgiving down
Starting point is 00:00:39 there in florida i'll tell you that but there's a lot of stuff in motion uh and of course we always stay ahead of it here which is why you watch and listen to me i'm sure and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo so let's begin with why okay the no spin news has been so successful. We are now the most financially successful independent news agency in the world. That's pretty staggering. As because of you, watching me now, listening on the radio, but why do you do it? You do it because you know we're honest, we're not ideological, we tell you what we believe, but most importantly, why we believe it. And we also are ahead of the news cycle.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So we have had an extraordinary year here predicting what would happen in this 2024 election cycle. Here is the backup go. Now, the first prediction I've got to say is the Supreme Court will overturn Colorado and Maine to take Trump off the vote. Trump will probably be able to get around his legal situations, most likely, with the help of the Supreme Court. Just mark my words. Now remember, this case is in Manhattan. So Trump has no chance. He has no chance in Manhattan, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:02:20 The case never would have been brought in 30 states. But in Manhattan, if the trial does start on April 15th, Trump is guilty. Now, my prediction made six months ago, maybe more, is that Joe Biden will not be on the ticket. And something's going to happen. Something's going to happen. Might be the debate. So this morning, I was up at six, and the media was already bounding the drum that Biden's staying in the wrong. race. That's not true. Okay, that's what the media has been told to say. So I think that by any
Starting point is 00:03:02 fair measure, the electoral vote situation in the so-called swing states will swing Trump's way. I put Trump at about 319 electoral votes right now. If Trump is elected, who will be the Secretary of State? Marco Rubio. I have, haven't been right about everything else, but most things, including the Biden, wouldn't be running. So let's sum up the talking points memo. I predict Donald Trump will be the next president. So Congressman Gates, Florida resigned yesterday. So he's out. He's not going to be a congressman anymore. He's hoping that he will be in the Trump administration. And I don't think he is a good choice for Attorney General.
Starting point is 00:03:57 I think Pam Bondi, who's also very loyal Donald Trump, who's the former AG in Florida, is a far better choice. All right, so remember Johnny Carson had a character Carnack, the Magnificent? He put an envelope to his head, and then he predicted.
Starting point is 00:04:16 That's me. I mean, really, step back. I know I'm conceded. I know I'm bragging. I'm sorry. Forgive me. police, but the record is the record. Every single one. We're way out in front of it. The electoral votes, I said 319, Trump got 317. I mean, sometimes, and people walk on and go, they look
Starting point is 00:04:40 at me and go, how do you do it? I go luck. Some of it is, but our research is so intense here. We cover it all from all sides. We don't believe what we want to believe. That's number one. We don't do that. And we don't analyze based on party affiliation or ideology. So I can't figure out why all 350 Americans, even the newborn, aren't watching me right now. Come on. Why do you? I say this to some people. I go, why are you wasting your time watching? Because I know what they're watching. Why? they're just going to deceive you anyway 220 24 has been our best year ever we've earned it thanks to you uh and that's the memo so let's get into uh some hard news okay Joe Biden pardoned two turkeys
Starting point is 00:05:41 today peach and blossom okay and then he took a nap uh peach and blossom uh went home I guess to wherever turkeys live uh Donald Trump didn't do anything today but he did He's got a little office of Marlado. I've been there. Not lavish at all. You have to go out of the main lobby and then you go across and you go up another stairs and he has his office there with his people around him. I think that's probably where he is, planning out strategy for the next almost two months
Starting point is 00:06:16 before he becomes president. All of his cabinet elections have been now announced. 21 of them. There are three that are going to have problems. Pete Hegsef, Department of Defense, Tulsi Gabbard, Department Director of National Intelligence, Robert Kennedy Jr., Health and Human Services. Hegseth, not a lot of experience managing a mammoth bureaucracy, and he's got people throwing accusations at him. That's not unusual in this day and age. You know that. accusations every day, every way. They're used as cudgels now, and you need to step back and evaluate. But HECSeth really doesn't have the management experience. That's the best
Starting point is 00:07:06 word. If I'm a senator, I bring them in, but boy, I grill them hard. Robert Kennedy, Jr. He's just got too much conspiracy stuff on his plate. And we went over that last week. I don't have to go over it. But he did a nice job in the environmental area here in New York on riverkeepers, clean up the Hudson River. He's dead on about the food industry causing death and disease among Americans. I mean, it's a big scandal. It's just as bad as tobacco. All right. But boy, if you look at Kennedy's background stuff, he said, is so irresponsible. You can't defend it. And then Tulsi Gabbard, you know, she stuck up for Putin in Russia, and she's in isolation and she got her in charge of national intelligence.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I don't know. Again, I'd bring her in. I like her. 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-26-5576 or text bill to 998899. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't
Starting point is 00:09:42 want to miss an episode. She was very good on this program, answered the questions, didn't dodge, but I'm not sure national intelligence is where she should be. Anyway, those three in the weeks to come are going to be problematic, but we will follow it and report on it fairly. So the two most powerful people beside President Trump are Susie Wiles, the chief of staff. She is 67 years old. She ran the Florida campaign for Trump in 2016. She is the daughter of the late sportscaster Pat Summerall. I never met her.
Starting point is 00:10:25 My reporting people I know is good. Solid woman, very smart. The most powerful person in the country beside Donald Trump is Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff or policy. Now, everybody goes, well, he's just. just a deputy chief of staff. There is no sheriff. Trump is a sheriff. So it says deputy chief of staff. There's no chief of staff for policy. It's Miller. Now, why is Miller so powerful? He's 39 years old. I first came across him when he was attending Duke University and he went to bat
Starting point is 00:11:03 for those Duke lacrosse players who were falsely accused of rape. Remember that story? I was a horrible sort. Well, Miller is one of the few that stood up in defense of these lacrosse players. I always remembered that. And now he is the guy closest to Donald Trump on policy. So I have said that Trump's White House will be top down, unlike the last time. When he entered the White House, he was a bit insecure. He'd never been there before. He hired people that he shouldn't have hired. Now he's going to run the show. And Miller is the guy, it's going to be a top advisor, will pick up the phone and tell the cabinet heads what to do. There's not going to be a lot of policy outside the White House. It's not going to be like Bush the Youngers administration.
Starting point is 00:11:57 You'll remember that Colin Powell, Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney, Vice. They had enormous power. enormous power in that administration. That's not going to be it. Trump, Wiles, and Miller are going to make the policy, along with a couple of others. Miller will pick up the phone and say, is what we're going to do. That's it. So the department heads are not as important as they used to be.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And Biden did that too, and it was a disaster. Okay? Mayorkas. I mean, come on. Ridiculous Homeland Security. And Buttigieg watches the airline industry collapse, does nothing, is Department of Transportation. But anyway, that's how it's going to go down.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So joining us now from North Carolina is a guy who knows this deal probably better than anyone else in the country. His name is Mick Mulvaney. And he was the acting White House Chief of Staff from January 2nd, 2019. to March 31st, 2020, all right, six months before the election, actually eight months before. No, yeah, eight months before. He took over from John Kelly, who Trump did not have a good relationship with.
Starting point is 00:13:26 All right, you are now on News Nation. You formally analyze a new at CBS, and you are the head of Actum, a consulting firm. firm. Do you sleep? Do you get any sleep at all? I mean, this is, you're busy than I am. Yeah, I also, I write columns for the Hill newspaper, the New York Post. No, I sleep on airplanes, Bill. You know what that's like. Wow, I don't go on airplanes anymore because I'm afraid of Buttigieg. So I'm afraid. I don't go. I just laid it out how it's going down. Did I make any mistakes? No, in fact, I'm sitting here going, why does he need me? He's got it just about right, down to the point about, you know, Donald Trump is his own chief of staff. It's a very flat
Starting point is 00:14:11 organization. It's the president and everybody else. But your robot Stephen Miller is spot on. Here's the only thing I could add to that for some color. Folks ask me, oh, my goodness, he's, you know, he's taking so many TV people. No, he's not. He's taking people who are good on television. Why is that? You've just hit the nail on the head on how it's going to work in terms of getting the policy in place. Miller's going to pick up the phone. Maybe Mike Walt's calls down the folks inside the White House will be setting the policy. The folks out of the agencies will be the implementers. And, and this is the critical part, the people selling it on television, Donald Trump likes people who are on TV. So Miller's going to pick up the phone and say,
Starting point is 00:14:52 look, we're doing this on immigration. Homan will be sitting with him there. And then Christy Nome will say, okay, and she'll go out on television and sell it. The same will be true. Sean Duffy at DOT. Good on TV. Hegson. Good on TV. Linda McMahon, really good on TV. So I think you're going to see this sort of this this this this bifurcated leadership where there be somebody in the white house and somebody out in the in the executive branch and together they're going to be running the agencies yeah um okay so you know i'm sympathetic on that now you got along with trump from what i understand as chief of staff right that's because i knew i wasn't the president um which i think some of my predecessors struggled with all right so let's talk about that so kelly uh uh
Starting point is 00:15:36 the general didn't get along with Trump, and the allegation is that Kelly didn't go along with what Trump wanted, and there was strife there. Is that pretty much what happened? I think that's fair. I think John, and he said this publicly, I'm talking about General Kelly now, saw himself as a check against the president. And I've got some fundamental disagreements with that. The check against the executive branch is the legislative branch and the judicial branch, not the chief of staff. I wasn't there to sort of, you know, double check Donald Trump or make sure he wasn't doing something. That's not the job. The job is to try to make the president successful. Kelly never saw that. I lost a lot of respect for him when he decided that he was the adult in the
Starting point is 00:16:22 room. And I, you know, kept wanting to remind folks that no one voted for John Kelly. They voted for Donald Trump. No one voted for me. They voted for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. And that, that, that Susie Wiles, I think, gets that. Susie Wiles, I don't know her. I've heard the same things about her that you have. I've talked to some former chiefs of staff who did meet her. We had a dinner last week and I was out of town and couldn't make it. All the reports about her are absolutely solid, spot on good, and that she understands that she's not the president, and that's a good first step of being the good chief of staff. Now, I know Donald Trump longer than probably most in public life. He's not a guy that you want to challenge as far as
Starting point is 00:17:03 ego is concerned. So you've got to be a special type of person. I could see Kelly big ego, General Kelly, and Trump big ego, and they're clashing, because Kelly thinks he's right, Trump thinks he's right. When you, and there has to be occasions, felt that President Trump was making a mistake, did you challenge him? Sure. Recognizing what you've just said is, again, Correct. There's only room for one ego in that building, and it's the president. The chief of staff is not the chief of the president. He's the chief of the staff. But yes, the president asked me one day, he goes, Mick, tell me, how do you summarize what you do around here? So, Mr. President, my job is to tell you the stuff that nobody else wants to tell you, and to tell you the stuff you don't want to hear. I'm the only person in the building who gets paid to do exactly that. There's a reason, Bill, that the life expectancy of a chief of staff is relatively short. You know, Trump takes a lot of heat for having four. chiefs of staff in his first term. Coincidentally, by the way, that's exactly the same of the Barack Obama had in his first term, four chiefs of staff.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's a tough job when you are the only person to tell the president's stuff he doesn't want to hear. And yeah, I did it. I didn't see Kelly really do it in an effective manner. Reince tried. Reince was in a very difficult situation. I don't think that Mark Meadows did a very good job telling the president that. So I think Susie has the ability to do it clearly.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I mean, you can only imagine, Bill, and I'm sorry it talks long. There were going to be some times on the campaign where things weren't going very well. And somebody had to walk in and tell the president, Mr. President, we need to look at this a little bit differently, maybe change something up. And from everybody I've talked to, we said, that was Susie. And he listened to her. And she was effective at it. So that votes well for her. But now you made me mad because you got paid for telling the president stuff he didn't want to hear.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I never got paid. I tell him stuff all the time he didn't want to hear. It depends on what day it is, whether he's mad at me or not. And I'm going, why did I get paid for that? Kelly and others say that Trump has fascist tendencies. I thought that was unfair because Kelly would never sit across me as you are. In a million years, the general wouldn't do it because he knows that he'd be challenged roundly, and I don't think he's got the heft to stand up to my questioning, but I could be wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:28 but I know he won't. Did you see any kind of fascism in play here, my way or the highway? I don't respect the process of the separation of powers. Did you see any of that? No, not a single time. And I don't believe that John did either. Because I believe that if John really had seen that,
Starting point is 00:19:50 and that's what, that's what, oh my goodness gracious, this guy is a fascist, he wouldn't have stayed. He would never would have stayed. He would have said something bad. identify it by saying I'm trying to convince him not to be a fascist. You know, you know how they are. Yeah, but no, no, okay, but you know what the next question is, why did you stay quiet for five and a half years and why did you come out 10 days before the election? That's a fair question to ask. Yes, sure. And I don't think he's got a good answer for that. Well, that's why he's not here.
Starting point is 00:20:14 A final question for you. The press. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

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. And you didn't have to deal with the press directly. You had your own communications people and that's what they did. But now you remember the press with News Nation and you know, you know, there's only one other president in history, and believe me, I know about
Starting point is 00:21:37 the presidents in history, that got this kind of vilification from the media, and that's Abraham Lincoln. And that was obvious why. I mean, it was fighting him a little war and the South wanted them dead and all that. But the press has now adopted, and they obviously got creamed in the election, but adopted that Trump is a monster. There's nothing good about him. Is there a reason why that happened? Bill, the only way I can describe it is that Trump derangement syndrome is real. There's a bunch of people, a lot of them in the press, other in higher education, some on Wall Street that just are irrational when it comes to Donald Trump. I mean, look at Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, who called him Hitler for several months and then went down to Marlono to kiss the ring. But what's the genesis of the hatred?
Starting point is 00:22:35 So you could hate Bush, the younger. I mean, got us involved with Iraq and this total fiasco over there, as some did. some but i've never seen the the level of vitriol against any elected official anyone yeah even george wallace when george wallace ran for president as a third in the third party the hatred toward wallace wasn't as bad as the hatred toward trump and the vilication of nixon is this look it's a it's a good question let me see if i can give an answer that might not be what you expect. I think the reason they hate him is that he won. They loved him when they thought he was going to lose. No one gave him more free airtime in 2016 than the left-wing
Starting point is 00:23:26 media. They just loved him. He was on Morning Joe on MSNBC almost every single day calling in. They loved him because they thought he was going to be a good Republican and lose. And the fact that he won and won in large part because of them. The earn media numbers, Bill, and you know what that means. Earned media in my business politics is when you go on TV and you don't have to pay for it, you get it for free. He over a billion dollars of earned media in 2016, and that is not all from right-leaning Fox News. More than half of it came from the left-wing outlets. So I think the reason they hate him is that he used them to win. And they'll probably never forgive themselves for that. That's a good answer. Particularly
Starting point is 00:24:07 Jeff Zucker, who was running CNN at the time, was his buddy from The Apprentice. that they may he made them all look really bad and small mr milaney we really appreciate it mow vaney you know melaney mulvaney these irish names i i just can't i don't know why i have a happy to worse girl i've answered i've answered a much worse so now you're a smart guy i mean i like watching you on news nation because you don't give the predictable well we'll see you know you know what you're talking about and i that's why i wanted to have you on today and we You appreciate it. Have a very happy Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Now, thanks for having me. Okay, Mick, see you. CBS, Paul. Do you approve of the Trump cabinet picks? 59% say yes. 41% disapprove. That's basically, you know, the election over, right? The 41% they don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:05 They just don't like Trump. But that's a pretty good number for Trump. Robert Kennedy, Jr., do you approve a good pick 47, not good 34, don't know 19. Tulsi Gabbard, good 36, not good 27. Haven't heard enough, 36. Pete Hegseth, good, 33, not good, 28. Haven't heard enough, 39.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Okay, there we go, CBS poll. Progressives, in search of a new leader. I was going to run a, this is out of the Hill. Hill is a decent thing if you want to read some columns. So it's a column on a hill. Progressives begin search for new leader. They don't have a leader. And I don't see one.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Bernie Sanders, no. Okay, he's 112 years old. AOC, no. I mean, I'm sorry she's a fellow Boston University alum, but no. So there's nobody there to lead the progressives, not the Democrat, the progressives. So that column is up today. Progressive Media, MSNBC, I just heard Mick talk about it a little bit. Their numbers are cascading downward.
Starting point is 00:26:23 MSNBC, Joe and Mika delivered their lowest rated program, 2554, in four years. Okay, and nobody likes them anymore because they went to see Trump. Now, I am going to predict and start my prediction cycle all over again. ABC News is going to have to dump out of the view. The ABC News controls the view now. They can't do that anymore. It's ruining the brand. So ABC Entertainment, Disney will order this.
Starting point is 00:26:54 We'll take over the view. View gets about 2.5 million people every day. It's consistent. They haven't dropped Mitch audience since the election. It's just liberal women watching them. All right, immigration defiance. We reported last week, the mayor of Boston, Ms. Wu and the mayor of Denver, Mike Johnson,
Starting point is 00:27:16 and to some extent the mayor of Chicago. All say they are gonna use, there's Johnson and Denver, use city resources, city cops, all right, other resources they have to block any deportations ordered by the federal government. That's what they said. Okay, so this is a violation of federal law, U.S. Code 1503.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Okay. The law prohibits any act that corruptly or by threats, force, or intimidation influence obstructs or impedes the due administration of justice from the federal government. It is a felony to obstruct a federal investigation.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Ten years in prison. Keep that in mind. So I used to live in Denver. Many of you know, I worked at KMGH TV out there, two years, loved it. Totally different city. in state Colorado than it is now. It's been overwhelmed by left-wingers. One of the big left-wingers is Mike Johnson, the mayor of Denver, and who said, I'm going to use cops to stop the feds
Starting point is 00:28:26 from coming in and deporting migrants who are in Denver. Okay. So then Channel 9 out there in Denver interviewed the mayor, and here's what happened. Go. It sounds to me like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? Would I have taken it back if I could? Yes, I probably wouldn't have used that image because I don't, that's the image I hope we can avoid. What I was trying to say is this is an outcome I hope we can avoid in this country. I think none of us want that. Well, you're not going to avoid it. And if you try anything, Mr. Mayor, with all due respect,
Starting point is 00:29:03 and this goes out to Mayor Wu in Boston and any other mayor, if you try, try, I'm going to call for your arrest. And I think the new Attorney General, Pambandi, will have you arrested and prosecuted. That's it. Very simple message. You stand in a way of ICE agents going in to deport migrants under the order of the federal government, you're going to get arrested and prosecuted. all. Smart life. So weather is a problem here, and it could be global warming as possible.
Starting point is 00:29:49 My weather guy, Joe Bastardi, says no, but Bastardi I've known for a long time, and he runs a weather outfit called Weatherbell.com. So we recommend if you are traveling smart life segment anywhere in the next week, you check in with weatherbell.com. It's already saved me from disaster in the Caribbean two weeks ago. It's going to go to an island, and it's six inches of rain and winds at 40 miles per hour. So he's starting to go, I don't know if that's a good idea. Thank you, Joe. I don't want you to get in an avalanche somewhere in Wyoming, right?
Starting point is 00:30:29 So before you go anywhere, weatherbell.com, write it down. Smart Life. Stay in history, November 25th, 1984. It's an interesting story. So as an Irish rock guy, Bob Geldorf, he goes to Ethiopia back in 1984 and sees a famine, giant famine there. All right, people dying, kids dying, everything. Goes back to London. and he organizes 36 musicians to cut a record. Here's the song, go. All right. All right, best-selling single record in UK history raised 24 million worldwide for the famine. Okay, then it was a concert, live aid off that, then it was an American song, and, you know, staggering amount of money to go in to help the famine people.
Starting point is 00:31:59 it get there? 140 million all toll. Nobody knows. Nobody knows where the money went. There were a few investigations by the press, but they weren't credible. Governments forget it. So based on what's happened in Haiti and other places where billions of dollars have gone there, money doesn't get to the folks.
Starting point is 00:32:27 And I talked about this with Bono one time. a good guy, the Irish rocker. And I said, look, I respect what you do. But once that money goes into those countries, nobody has any oversight on it. Nobody. You really think most of that money is going down to those people? Anyway, that happened. Live A, do they know it's Christmas 40 years ago today? We'll be back in a moment. The final thought, going to help you out for Christmas. All right, here's the final thought of the day. So I'm in charge, you know, which is pretty frightening, if you think about it. So I have three corporations. And when I worked for Fox News 20 years plus, and when I worked as a correspondent for ABC News and CBS News,
Starting point is 00:33:14 and when I anchored Inside Edition, I wasn't in charge. All right? There were people who were my superiors. And I was always a rebel, always, you know, I never go along guy. I did what I thought was right. And I was a success in all of those places, with the exception of CBS News under Dan Rather, and someday I'll write about that. But that, I couldn't cut through the corruption there. I couldn't. But ABC was a great experience. But anyway, I'm the boss now. So I say to my crew, and it's a good crew. You know, let's do this, let's do that. I'm not a martinet. Word of the day, another word of the day, Jeune, Martinette. I am not a martinet. But if I want something done, you got to convince me it's not a good thing. I'll listen, but you got to have facts. So I came up with this
Starting point is 00:34:15 not woke concept. The reason I did was there's so many people frustrated that they couldn't debate issues, important issues to them, to everybody, because they would be derided and they'd be yelled at and scorned and they may lose their job and the teacher might give a bad grade. And I said, I gotta find a vehicle, a real simple way to get a message across in a funny, humorous way. And I came up with it, the not woke gear. This is just fun.
Starting point is 00:34:52 So put my picture up there. In the polo, I wear this polo at it. And people know it's me, most of them. All right. But everybody, where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? All right? You'll make a lot of friends.
Starting point is 00:35:07 There's a polo. We got the tee, the t-shirt. All right. Now, the holiday, the Teradog, won't go to sleep without the t-shirt over her. But it's so much fun because you'll let people walk up to you and I'll have conversation with you. I haven't heard any reports of people saying anything bad, okay? They don't do that.
Starting point is 00:35:28 They just go, well, what does that mean? Or where did you get that? And, you know, it's a lot of fun. And one of the best items is the mug. And all three items, the polo, the tea, and the mug, the greatest Christmas gifts. Because they're not expensive. You know, if somebody's done you a solid or you got somebody working for you or this or not, and you just want to give them something they like, this is great.
Starting point is 00:35:52 So that's what I came up with this thing. So I wanted to bring down the political tension in the country. And now that traditionalists have won the election in the form of Donald Trump and the Republican Congress, this is a tradition win. It's not so much a Republican party win. This is a traditional vote. We don't want all this woke stuff that is really limiting our freedoms and doing things that we don't approve of. So we're not woke, and everybody is still celebratory. There'll be three weeks tomorrow, they're still, but you don't want to be obnoxious.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Well, some do, but I, just have a little humor here, not woke, all right? So check that out on bill o'Reilly.com, and we appreciate it. So the schedule this week is I will be here tomorrow, and then we're going to be, give my staff off the rest of the week for Thanksgiving. We will be here a full week next week, a full week of the week after, and a full week the week after that. And then it's Christmas already. I can't believe it, but it's a very short Christmas run-up this year. Busy, you won't even believe it.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I mean, it's just crazy busy because you get to a lot of stuff. When you run into corporations, you got to a lot of year-end stuff. Your business people know that. But anyway, we're going to, because there's going to stuff happen. I was hoping it would slow down a little bit, the news cycle. Not going to slow down. It's just too much intensity here. And overseas, we're watching Ukraine. We're watching a Russia-Ukraine thing. All right, a lot of stuff going on. So we will be here. All right, just wanted you to let you know that. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News tonight. We'll see you tomorrow.
