Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Tuesday, November 28, 2003, stand up for your country. Getting a little chilly here in the northeast, a little cold at night. And out west in Jackson, Wyoming, it was nine degrees this morning. So winter, late autumn, despite climate change in America, unless you're in the sunbelt, it's cold. All right.
Starting point is 00:00:41 And the reason I'm telling you this, which is obvious, is that climate change is happening in the Biden administration. Where do you hear this? That is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So there is a United Nations Climate Change Conference, two weeks. in Dubai. You know where Dubai is? It's in the Persian Gulf. The Persian Gulf supplies much of the world's oil, which is counter to climate change people, but they're having the conference in Dubai. Okay. Two weeks, that's kind of a long conference. Now, Joe Biden, Biden has been to two of them, but not going this year.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Okay? And the reason he isn't going, and the White House has not put out a reason, but I'll tell you the reason, is because right now at this moment, America is harvesting more fossil fuel than ever before in its history. So if Biden were to show up at a climate change conference in Dubai, the fanatic, would kill him. Hey, you're the big global warming guy, you're this, you're the progressive, you're blah, blah, blah, blah. And now, boom, the United States is harvesting more fossil fuel than ever before.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Now, the reason this is happening is because when Biden came into office, he attacked the fossil fuel industry. You'll remember that. And so, we're going green, electric cars, windmill, solar. you guys, I'm going to put you out of business with regulations, and all the energy prices in the USA went up igniting inflation. And inflation is dooming the Biden administration. So Biden, a man of no principles whatsoever, every principle he ever had, he changed. Biden's oh, we better start getting that oil out of there. And now he's exporting a lot of oil to
Starting point is 00:02:57 foreign countries, not only supplying it here. So oil prices in America have dropped for the last two months. I'll give you the stats in a moment. And overseas, we're making money selling oil to Europe because we have the embargo on Russian oil because of Ukraine. So this is geopolitics, and geopolitics are intruding on the climate change mandate. Okay. So we all got the primer here. So Biden, again, a man of no seasons, doesn't believe in anything. So, oh, we got to harvest oil. That's why I can't go to the climate change conference. Meanwhile, okay, back on the ranch here, the inflation under Biden for essentials, that means what you need to live, up 18 percent since he took office. So all of
Starting point is 00:03:57 us are paying 18% more to live. That is unsustainable. Nobody can get reelected on that record. Nobody. And Biden will not get reelected. Okay. So now the White House is panicking. But this puts the progressive left against Biden, and they already don't like Biden supporting Israel. So the progressive left is now pulling back from Biden. which is a good thing for conservative traditional candidates. So the real far-out left-wing, they don't like Biden anymore, even though he does everything they want him to do, or at least used to. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:42 So why, what is it about the alternative energy, the green economics that isn't working? Well, number one, electric cars. I mean, they're not in demand. and I'm not going to get one until the motion I can drive further than I can now. I'm not good with technical stuff. If I plug it in, I'll get electrocuted. You know, I'm not just, mechanically, I'm just no good. All right, and they're very expensive, these cars. And they have a chip shortage now.
Starting point is 00:05:17 And they have a battery fire risk. And in the winter, your efficiency on electric cars drastically drops. You know that? I didn't know it until we started to research. So electric car, that whole thing is flat. Not increasing, in spite of that, Connecticut, another loopy far left state goes, well, about 10 years we're going to forbid gas-powered cars. Well, that's unconstitutional, number one, you won't be able to do that Connecticut, and number two, it's stupid because people are not going to be able to afford it.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Even then in 10 years or not. And the other thing is the wind, okay? So Biden, and I'll tell you about this in a minute, is going to a wind farm today to show how green he is. It's so phony. Anyway, the wind stuff is getting more and more and more expensive. Here on Long Island, where I am, you look out into the ocean, a bunch of windmills. I can see them from my house out on eastern Long Island.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They surround Block Island, which is Rhode Island territory. Well, half of them don't work. I mean, the cost to install and maintain these things is so high that state governments can't afford it, that I'm going to have money to do it. So the technology is not there to be a green world. I wish it were. I'm not a big fan of fossil fuels. I don't like pollution.
Starting point is 00:06:45 All right? I wish we were 100% green on this planet. That includes dumping stuff in the oceans, plastics and all that. I'm a big environmental guy, but you can't ruin people's lives for a fantasy. All right, so Kerry's going over there, Blinking Secretary of State's going over to Dubai, a bunch of other people to represent America, and then, you know, India, China, oh, yeah, we'll do it. They're not going to ever do it.
Starting point is 00:07:14 They've got to feed their people. They're not going to ever be green, those countries. Africa is never going to be green. So, the United States pumping money. into all this. It's just sitting the money on fire. No good at all. Nothing. And that's the memo. So President Biden is going out to Atlanta to honor First Lady Rosalne Carter. That's a good thing. A woman of dignity, as we expressed here. That he's going to campaign reception, which means money raising on our dime in Denver, where he will visit CSTW, the largest wind tower manufacturer in the world.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Colorado, very green state, beautiful state, lived there for two years. So he's going to go to the factory and look at the wind. Okay, good, okay. Again, I wish the wind worked. It doesn't work. Okay, so. All right, so Biden is aware that he is, his administration is in grave danger because of the higher prices for essentials in America.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And before he left for Georgia, he said this. Go. But we know the prices are still too high for too many things, that times are still too tough for too many families. But we made progress, but we have more work to do. Let me be clear, to any corporation that's not brought their prices back down, even as inflation has come down, even as supply chains have been rebuilt, it's time to stop the price gouging, giving the American consumer a break. Yeah, I'm sure the corporations are going to do all that, right? So any guy lives in a bubble world, you know, the prices will come down when the consumers don't go there anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:04 That's why I told you about the $51 steak last week. I'm not going there anymore. The $14 chicken with rice soup from the local deli. Am I buying it anymore? Those prices will come down when the consumer says, It's not about the money. It's a principle of the thing. I know I'm getting gouged.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Look at the, and what are we going to do about insurance rates? You've got to have insurance to put your car on the road. They're raising these rates, you know, three, 400% for no reason. And there's Biden, oh, you better not go. What are you going to do about it, Joe? What? Nothing. It's like you do about anything else.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Every other problem. You don't do anything about it. 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. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.
Starting point is 00:10:09 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 and precious medals delivered thousands of five-star reviews, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-8899. Again, that's 866-326-5-7576, or text bill.
Starting point is 00:10:48 to 998899. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post
Starting point is 00:11:09 wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's go to Hunter Biden. So he's been subpoenaed to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee. That's James Comer on December 13th. The testimony will be behind Senate doors, according to Mr. Comer.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Hunter Biden says, no, I'm not going to show up unless I can testify publicly in front of the TV cameras. Okay, if he doesn't show up, Hunter Biden gets in even more trouble and Congress will pursue him. So I assume he'll show up and do what he's been subpoenaed to do. Maybe I'm wrong. But Hunter Biden's a publicity hound and he somehow wants to get in front of the American people and, you know, I mean, Democrats are going to stick up for him on a committee. You know that. but the Republican is going to go in pretty hard. So next tomorrow, guy named Rob Walker, a business associate of Hunter Biden's,
Starting point is 00:12:23 is going to testify 9.30. If we get anything out of that, we'll have it. And then December 6th, President Biden's brother, James, going to testify both are private. But we're on it. We're watching it for you. George Soros, you know, you know who he is, you know what he does.
Starting point is 00:12:41 So he has sent $250,000, quarter of a million, to a group called the Education for Just Peace. Okay? It's a pro-Hamas group. Where to go, George? $250,000. It's according to the Washington Examiner, but I believe it's true. So it's also sent $450,000 to the U.S. campaign for Palestinian rights. And overall, he's donated about 15 million to anti-Israel groups.
Starting point is 00:13:18 George Soros is Jewish by heritage. Pretty interesting, huh? George Soros was persecuted by the Nazis. And he's given all this money to hurt Israel. All right. So tomorrow night, Christmas tree lighting, New York City, Rockefeller Center, one of the great traditions we have here in New York, anti-Israel protesters are going to show up.
Starting point is 00:13:47 They say, group is within our lifetime, planning to disrupt the lighting. Nice, right? Good. So this puts the New York City police in a terrible position because they have to stop these people, and it's very hard because these people look like everybody else. They'll infiltrate in, and then they'll disrupt. and then the cops have to grab them and all of that. Now, the members of within our lifetime know,
Starting point is 00:14:18 no matter what they do in Rockefeller Center, nothing will happen to them. Yeah, they might get arrested, but they'll be out a couple hours, won't be prosecuted, charges will be dropped. They can do whatever they want to do. Spit at the cops, sure. Curse at them, go ahead or her. Yeah, we'll do that.
Starting point is 00:14:37 We'll have a great time. So New York City is now a public safety disaster, right, because of the far-left politicians gutting the criminal justice system here. And there's no two sides to that story. None. That's what's happening. So now we learn that 2,516 New York City police officers have left the force this year. We still have another month to go.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Okay? They're quitting. And these are usually experienced officers. Been around. Right? They're retiring. Are they taking jobs in other municipalities? Whatever they may be.
Starting point is 00:15:20 That's a big crew. And because of the migrant expense, the mayor, Adams, or the town says, we can't have any more money going into the police department for a while. We're canceling training classes. Three of them. So that means no new cops are coming on because the migrants are taken all the money the city has. So no cops. Can you, you know, just do the math on this thing.
Starting point is 00:15:50 So joining us now from New York City is a New York City icon. His name is Curtis Slewa, founder of the Guardian Angels. One thing you might want to know is that Slewa never takes the hat off. It's got a special shampoo that kind of goes under. underneath it. And he's my colleague at W.A.B.C. Radio, the big talker in NYC. So you're out on the street all the time. What about police morale? I mean, the day-to-day cops. How are they seeing all of this? Well, you have a mayor who was elected. In fact, I ran against him as a Republican alternative who said, I will protect the cops. I was a cop myself for 22 years. And
Starting point is 00:16:38 unfortunately, he's done anything but. So he's actually signed consent decrees that would limit what the cops can and cannot do in the course of a demonstration or even making a normal arrest and gave money to members of Black Lives Matter and Antifa two years after they rampage through the streets of New York City in the summer of George Floyd in 2020. Who gave money to, wait, wait, wait. Who gave money to Black Lives Matter in Antifa? Who did that?
Starting point is 00:17:09 That was just recently Eric Adams. He signed a consent court decree. Well, what does that mean, though? That means city tax dollars go to Black Lives Matter? That is correct, to members of Black Lives Matter and members of Antifa who felt that because they were kettled in, It's called limiting your ability to move in the course of a parade, a march, a demonstration, whatever you want to call it. All right. So this was a lawsuit that they settled.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Right. Which should have been fought because it was ridiculous. What will happen, for example, with the lighting of the Christmas tree, which is like part of Americana, you know, featured on NBC. The whole country will be watching. A lot of children, grandchildren. And they will attempt to march into the proceeding with no permit, no right to demonstrate, and immediately the police will allow them entry. They will not block their path of entry, and they will not actually execute any arrests until they actually commit a crime, which would mean to assault others who were there to watch the tree being lit up when they attempt to vandalize property, poor blood on themselves and everyone else and make their point of being pro-Palestinian,
Starting point is 00:18:30 pro-Hamas, and anti-Israel. It is so easy for the police to limit you. You are entitled to demonstrate. You're not entitled to parade. You're not entitled to be able to use amplification. But all of that has been eliminated. The cops have basically said, no mas, no mas. They taken their nightsticks away from them, which was a perfect way for the police.
Starting point is 00:18:54 to basically say, you don't go any further. It doesn't mean they hit anybody. It just meant they blocked their path of entry. And so now the only access that a cop has is either to a gun. We don't want them to threaten them to shoot them, a taser. We don't want that. Or to tackle them. And that's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:19:13 So the cops have opted their bill to say, well, we're not going to do anything. Because even if we have to make an arrest, they're going to turn them right loose before we finish that. And then there are going to be any charges. So in your experience, I mean, this is your point of view, and I'm not going to challenge it because I think you're right. But the police officer who comes to work every day on their ship, have they just given up? They say, look, the city is ungovernable. The rules that prohibit us from keeping order are insane.
Starting point is 00:19:47 So we're going to take our paycheck, stand there, and not do much. Is that what's happening? Exactly. It's happening in the jails. It's happening in the streets. It's happening. There is no enforcement in the city of New York whatsoever. So when you see things that remind you of anarchy, understand, the police are getting paid. They'll do their job. They've been trained in the academy to use proper force when necessary to make arrests, to stop individuals from doing harm to others and from vandalizing property. But the powers they're be, in this case, the mayor and the police commissioner will not allow them to do their job. And the mayor, in this case, Eric Adams, must stand up for law and order, public safety, and the police. And yet, what he has done is capitulate to the mob. As you know, he's involved in multiple issues that affect his ability to remain mayor, FBI, Department of Justice investigation. Yeah, well, let that play out. But de Blasio was worse, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:20:52 Adams has been. So de Blasio basically ripped out the entire public safety apparatus of the city in conjunction with Albany, run by far left zealots that passed the Nobel law, the governor signed it, first Cuomo, then Hockel. So if I'm a police officer and my grandfather was, I'm saying I'm outnumbered here. And even if I try to do the right thing, I'll probably get yelled that when I get back to the precinct house. But I'm still not convinced that the cops themselves have thrown, have given up. You say they have given up? Let's look at the smallest of crimes. Every day, we're going into holiday season now, Bill. 90,000 packages being delivered by United States Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, and the biggest deliverer now, Amazon, gets stolen by
Starting point is 00:21:51 porch pirates that means the moment the package is left for the recipient somebody is following the deliverer and just picks it up steals it no arrest no arrest whatsoever so you start at the lowest level shoplifting boldly brazenly people going in taking items leaving almost no arrest so when you see something of that nature you realize that yes the police have waved the white flag, and I'll tell you why. It's the reason that most citizens are unaware of. Every civil servant, every elected official, every judge, every prosecutor is protected with qualified immunity. That means if they make a mistake, and boy, there have been some big mistakes, men incarcerated for crimes they never committed who did 25, 30 years, and yet the judges
Starting point is 00:22:42 and prosecutors responsible cannot be personally sued. We get sued, the taxpayers. The only people have been stripped of that qualified immunity, our police officers. Right. So now they're stand alone. They could lose their house, their pension, their savings. Yeah, because you can sue them. Right, right. And that's why they're leaving. That's an excellent point, Curtis. We really appreciate you coming on. I'll be back. Um, hopefully this debacle will not unfold tomorrow at the Rockville Center, but we're on it. And, um, we'll see on the radio. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Bill, starts with the night stay. Okay. Let's go to the border. So the situation is getting worse, hard to believe. Tucson sector, if you've ever been
Starting point is 00:23:25 down to Arizona, Tucson is a border city, okay? It's not right on the border. It's back a little bit. Bizby is the art town on the border down there, been there many times. Then you're going west. You have Yuma County. This is a big magnet for migrants. So last week, 15,300 migrants. were confronted by Border Patrol just in the Tucson sector. It's a record. Okay? In October, 55,000 illegal entrance, 140% increase over last year, 22 in Tucson. What does Biden do about it?
Starting point is 00:24:15 No. Does he even mention it? No. Is it a question every day? in the press conference with Jean-Pierre? No, press. This is such a scandal. This, combined with the 18% rise in the cost of essentials, would put out anybody. You couldn't be elected with that record. What I'm trying to get across to Donald Trump is, stop all the other stuff. Just concentrate trade on that, and he's out. But Trump obscures Biden's record by ginning up all of this other stuff,
Starting point is 00:25:01 the election, and I'm going to get this one and that one. You don't need to do that. We got to get Biden out of there, and I mean that. He is the second worst president next to James Buchanan in the country's history. The destruction that that man is causing, going to be felt for years. Caravan. So now thousands of migrants are heading to the border on top of trains in Mexico. And the video is harrowing. There they are. Now, this could not happen if the Mexican government would do anything. The Mexican government allows this. because the cartels pay off the Mexican authorities to look the other way,
Starting point is 00:25:53 because the cartels smuggle these people across the border and they make money doing it. So that couldn't happen. You couldn't have thousands of people riding on top of railroad cars without the consent of the Mexican government. Would it Biden do nothing? Awful.
Starting point is 00:26:14 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. 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. Yes. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post
Starting point is 00:26:53 columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Dublin, Ireland. Okay. So a guy stabbed five people. Last weekend, I believe it was. Thursday, November 23rd, okay, Thanksgiving. Five-year-old boy, six-year-old girl, five-year-old girl, 17-year-old girl, and then an adult.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Right after the stabbing, there was rumors, there were rumors, that it was done by a migrant in Ireland. About 500 thugs, many of them far-right Nazi people, came out into Dublin, burned things down, looted, you know, just what Antifa does here. They did there, basically protesting about the migrants coming into Ireland. But these are Nazi people. But here's the really disturbing thing, despite the injuries, I hope all of these people survive. the government of Ireland will not tell the public who the guy is that did all this. They got him. He's in a hospital.
Starting point is 00:28:47 All right, they got him. They won't define him. So there are rumors that he's an Algerian, but nobody knows. Now, the government's suppressing that information because he's most likely not born in Ireland. that's why but the government shouldn't do that but there's no excuse now when i lived in england for a year these nazis were there way back there were skinheads they called them bother boys and they're all over uh london and they hated they called them woggs w-o-g-s they hated anybody who wasn't born white in England. Now the reason they did that is because they were miserable people.
Starting point is 00:29:41 They had miserable lives. In the British Isles, if you don't pass a test when you're 16 years old, you are doomed to a really hard scrabble existence. And these people are the lowest rung on the ladder. So they attack everybody. I mean, I was in a Glasgow ball. one time and a guy came up to me and he was a skinned he goes what soccer team do you root for he said football of course and I knew what he was doing he just wanted to get a fight and I answered whatever one you like whatever you root for that's who I root for and a guy just kind of toddled away but these people have been there for ever since World War II ended okay not a lot of them like
Starting point is 00:30:33 Antifa, not a lot of Antifa here, but enough to really cause trouble. But the Dublin government should tell the truth. Back home, R&C run out of money. Republican National Committee running out of money. I only have $9 million on hand. Wow. DNC's got almost double, $18 million. So I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:30:57 I usually am a guy who knows everything, right? Mr. Wright all the time, me? I don't know. why Republicans aren't given money, maybe, I don't, I don't know. Now, the Trump campaign is loaded. All right, so people are donating money to Trump, and he's got money. But the undercard next November is just as important. So Republicans have got to take back the House and Senate if they want to clean up this mess.
Starting point is 00:31:33 and the RNC didn't have any money. Smart light. So over the Thanksgiving weekend and Bill O'Reilly.com, we posted a shock and awe episode. That is a series that I did last year. And the episode was with Victor Davis Hansen, one of the smartest guys in the country. And I think I'm a pretty good columnist.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Hansen's better. Okay, this guy, the research that he brings, flawless. So I spoke with him about the cancel culture, the woke culture, how the progressive left was aiming to destroy traditional America. We posted the clip over the five-day weekend. It was the most watched clip. I think we've ever had. Roll the tape. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:25 So both of us have had to face that media, which not only disagrees, but wants to destroy. actively destroy people who will say, no, traditional America is better because if you look at history, that's how we became the most successful economic country that ever existed by tradition, hard work, self-reliance. You take that tack now, the media will try to destroy you. I think that's a huge component in all of this. So what they have done in the last 25 years, they control all of the levers of thought, influence through institutional powers, professional sports, Hollywood, media, Silicon Valley, corporate boardroom, Wall Street, the foundation, my gosh. And through those institutions, they feel that they don't really need a grassroots 51% consensus because
Starting point is 00:33:22 they can affect public opinion. So we're going into a midterm and we're not discussing these issues. We're discussing January 6th, hiatus. Then we go into the raid. the media bombshells walls are closing in then we do the phantom of the opera everybody's an enemy speech by uh by and now we're going to go back to january 6 and i think we'll probably end up with an indictment but they have the ability through the permanent state or the media or all of these things that we talked about to bypass an appeal to 51 percent of the people and their revolutionaries bill they don't believe in the constitution the custom and traditions they don't feel that's a reliable, a reliable companion for them.
Starting point is 00:34:06 All right, you can see the entire O'Reilly Hansen interview on Bill O'Reilly.com. It's free. You don't have to be a member. And if you go to our website, you get a message of the day, you get everything free. We just go down the menu. We have a menu in like this. Now, I'm going to talk about premium and concierge membership in a little while. you get a lot more, but the Hanson-O-Reilly interview is posted. Disney's got another flop, fifth one in a row, movie called Wish, W-I-S-H, cartoon,
Starting point is 00:34:42 not doing well at the box office, and Disney's got problems. It is the most famous corporation in the world, the Walt Disney Corporation. Huge problems now. brought on by their radical left posture. They destroyed themselves. Now, it's still functioning. It still makes money, but in serious trouble. Tomorrow, we'll have a special investigation on Disney.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Stay in history, November 28th, 1871. The Ku Klux Klan goes on trial in South Carolina. Fascinating story. U.S. grad, who was a friend to the Constitution and to freed slaves drove this. Justice Department went down to South Carolina, which was not obeying the amendments that were passed after the Civil War giving blacks the same rights as whites.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Well, South Carolina and other southern states didn't obey it. So Grant brought down the Justice Department and 144 Klan members were convicted in that mass trial.
