Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, January 10, 2023, stand up for your country.
Busy News Day.
We'll have Donald Trump Jr. here.
He's got a new project.
We'll talk some politics with him.
That's coming up shortly.
Now, last night in my commentary, I said the U.S. and A needs a course correction.
So I didn't get into specifics about that, and I got a bunch of mail, which shows our listeners and viewers are very alert, saying, well, what O'Reilly exactly is the course correction.
And that is an excellent question, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
So we start with President O Biden, O Biden, President Biden, that was a fraudulent slip on Obama,
President Biden being the most leftist president in history.
So a second would be FDR because he had to expand the federal government to get us out of the Great Depression,
and then we had World War II.
So the federal government had an enormous amount of power, and FDR did a lot of power.
and FDR did a lot of public works, as you know, and on and on.
But his philosophy, Roosevelt's philosophy, was not in line with the progressive movement today
or communism or socialism.
He's a big government guy, no doubt about it.
But Biden, and I don't even know what his thought process is because I don't think he has
one at this point in his life, is basically doing what his progressive handlers are telling him
to do. And that is veering the country to the left in a fairly significant way. That's why we need
a course correction. We don't want to be a left-wing country like the Scandinavian countries or even
France. We don't want to govern that way because that robs people of incentives. You know,
the American dream is built on hard work and trying to build yourself up in a competitive society.
That's not what the leftist societies do.
They guarantee you an outcome, paltry outcome, but you do what they say, that's socialism.
Okay, so number one, we need a balanced budget amendment.
Now, what is that?
It's basically Congress saying we are not going to go over a certain amount, a percentage, 10%, 15, whatever, in our budget.
yearly expenditures. You're not going to get an exact balanced budget amendment, but you can
limit it, limit the spending to this percentage over what we take in, we the federal government.
Always going to have emergency funds that you have to say China invades Taiwan. It's going to
cost us billions, maybe a trillion dollars if they do that. So you got to have that built in.
But we need to stop the insane spending here.
And just as an example of the insane spending, in his first two years, Joe Biden's administration has spent $6.2 trillion that we didn't have.
That's unfunded, $6.2 trillion.
And you go, oh, COVID, oh, COVID.
Well, Donald Trump, in four years, spent a colossal $7.8 trillion.
And that's a big number, 7.8, but that's over four years.
Biden's 6-2 over 2.
And President Trump said, well, I had to rebuild the military, and I had to, you know, get us out of this economic funk, and I had to cut taxes in order to do that.
Every president has excuses, and some of them are valid for the way he handles his administration.
Biden's excuses, he doesn't care.
I mean, there's another insane bill that we'll get to tomorrow.
I don't have time for it tonight.
Another colossal spending, ridiculous thing.
I mean, just keep in mind one thing.
Three million taxpayer dollars for a jogging path in Georgia named after Michelle Obama.
No.
No.
The fact that that would be in the omnibus bill is insulting to all of us.
Stop. First course correction, balanced budget amendment. Okay. Second course correction is a federal
law passed by Congress, signed by the president, banning equity in hiring or school admissions
because all Americans are equal under the law. That's what the Constitution says. So we're all
equal under law. You can't have equity, which Biden is promoted all day long, okay, where one group,
a selected group or groups within S, get preferential economic and educational treatment.
That's against the Constitution. Well, let's put it in law, okay? No more equity. If you want to
help certain groups that are underperforming, that's fine.
Do the mentoring program, Brothers Keeper, all of that is good.
But you don't force employers or schools to impose preferences.
That's what equity is.
It's wrong.
That's number two.
Number three, term limits.
It's never going to happen while the Democrats control anybody.
okay but it's needed in this country we got too many corrupt politicians sitting in there forever
number four federal laws that say if states do not enforce immigration law any other law
they get no federal aid at all none now i don't put the sanctuary movement to bet
None. Not a penny goes to California, New York, Massachusetts, and the other sanctuary states. Nothing. You don't enforce federal law. Again, federal law is passed by Congress signed by a president. You get no federal funds. That would be huge, huge. You can't do it on a state basis, which is why we have this crazy crime problem because DAs in Chicago and New York and San Francisco.
go in LA, won't enforce the law. The states are the states. But feds can say, no taxpayer money
to you, Massachusetts, as long as you're a sanctuary state. Yeah, you see how fast Massachusetts
got out of that. Okay? Next, new immigration laws, fair laws. I'm for the DACA thing. I think if a kid was
dragged here as a baby, a small kid by his parents who were irresponsible and crossed into this country
illegally, that kid is not responsible. And he's here and she's here and they're ingrained in the
system. You give him a pathway. But not blanket amnesty. No. And you enforce the law and you build a
wall. New immigration laws. And you make it easier for legal people to get here. You take more.
And I take refugees and I give asylum status, but you do it in a right way or you're disqualified
forever, forever. If you're a foreign national and you don't apply for asylum the right way
and you get caught, you can never come here. That's part of the new immigration law.
Next one, new federal agency, brand new, not attached to the Justice Department or the
Federal Elections Commission to investigate all federal election complaints because many Americans
have lost faith in our election system.
Okay. So we're a brand new agency. If there is a state that has been accused of not counting the votes properly in a national election, that agency immediately goes in. But it can't be attached to the FBI or the Justice Department, maybe because that's political. Okay. This new agency might devolve into that, but give it a shot. Okay. And finally, in the course correction, we need to have guidelines, federal guidelines.
on Americans suing the federal government, okay, for censorship,
lack of due process and bias in the workplace.
You say you get fired because you're black, okay?
That should be a federal beef, and you should be able to sue whoever fired you in federal court,
not state court.
Okay?
So let's be fair about this.
So those are the course corrections that I would immediately get into motion.
There are others, but all of those are within our Constitution.
They're all not hard to pass.
There won't be any court cases at the Supreme Court level about them.
We already have a great constitution in place, but we're ignoring it.
We're ignoring it.
And that's why this nation is tottering on the edge of anarchy.
in some places. We have anarchy. So anyway, I'm glad you guys wrote me and if you are concierge,
your premium members on Bill O'Reilly.com, you can download what I just told you, which is why
it's important to be. Sign up for a membership. We have transcripts that you can download. You'll have
it. Boom. You can refer to it anytime you want to refer. You can spread it around to your friends.
that's the course correction that we need i thought a lot about this all right when i say
staying up for your country part of standing up for your country is when it's in trouble which
it is now getting it right back okay uh Biden is back uh or he's on his way and uh I don't
know what that was all about a Mexico city I got a sound bite for you so maybe you can tell
me after you're listening to the soundby from the president what this meeting with Trudeau
and over a door, and Biden was all about, roll the tape.
So there's much we can do, much we have to talk about,
and I'm looking forward to being able to do it
because I'm confident.
I'm confident we can get it done.
I'm confident we're at one of those moments
of a real change in the direction.
Get what done?
What are you talking about?
Nobody knows what he's talking about.
I mean, it's just ridiculous.
There's so much more we have to talk.
What?
What?
are you doing? Is it fentanyl? Is it six million foreign nationals on your watch in here? What is it?
We are confident we can talk about BS. All right, they found some classified documents in the Penn Center in Washington, D.C., which is associated with the University of Pennsylvania. I'm going to hold off on this story because I don't have all the info yet.
It's like the Mala Lago story.
Biden apparently took classified information when he was vice president out of the vice president's office and brought it to his private Penn Center.
But I'm going to wait here.
Now, as already a guy named Richard Sauber appointed to investigate, the actual documents are far less than the Trump situation.
But come on.
You know, we said it's at the very beginning that every president does this kind of thing.
Not on purpose.
They just don't know what's in the boxes.
But let me see exactly what it is so I can do a fair analysis.
Donald Trump, he doesn't wait.
Here's what he said about it.
Quote, when is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?
These documents were definitely not declassified.
and that was yesterday at 6.44 p.m. on truth, social.
Anyway, this makes it very difficult to continue this document charade for the Justice Department.
Okay, so let's get to Donald Trump Jr. I know him pretty well.
He's always been a good guy when I'm around. Maybe he's behaving because it's me. I'm not sure.
big hunter and my son is a big hunter so they talk about assassinating animals and all that i'm not
really into that but um just give you a little profile of uh don junior so he's signed a deal with
rumble as in ready to uh which is um a podcast service and he's got a new podcast going to debut on
January 23rd coming up fast called triggered with Don Jr. an homage to the title of his
2019 book. He joins us now from Florida. So Rumble, huh? Why should we watch? Why should we
watch you? Well, listen, A, I think you've seen sort of the people rejecting mainstream media
coverage. I think we've seen all of the bias that's out there. Rumble as a platform is one of the
few places that hasn't been censoring conservatives they're a free speech platform it's it's sort of
youtube minus uh you know the threats of being put in the gulag uh so you know i was an early believer in
the platform uh i've been an early believer in a lot of these free speech and sort of even
i don't want to say right wing economy because again that's pure free speech although i do think
there's a lot of stuff going on right now in sort of the parallel economies uh as people on the
conservative side of things understand the total level of disdain the left woke corporate
America and everyone has for them. I think for many years that disdain was in existence, but
the conservative side turned the other cheek and we said it's okay. But now I think it's been
pretty clear, whether it's through the release of the Twitter files, whether it's just watching
what's going on with Disney, Netflix, and all of those companies share prices. Americans
and especially conservative Americans, have had enough.
And so, you know, as someone who's just been out there, you know,
fighting that battle for free speech and against the mainstream media and the lies,
someone, frankly, who's been subjected to a lot of those things,
I said, why don't we get out there and have this conversation with people?
Okay.
So are you going to do a political show?
I mean, that was going to be most of the time.
You're doing it twice a week, right?
Two podcasts a week.
How long will the podcast be?
How long will he be?
About an hour, hour and a half.
I think with Rumble, there's a unique ability there to actually have sort of a live interactive component.
So people can be, you know, interacting live with me during it.
We can start that conversation so we can actually be essentially answering their questions into that fan base.
I think some of that gets left out a lot.
And certainly on the cable side of things where you can have that component of really, you know,
not just going with, you know, what the talking points are, but having sort of a little bit of a free flow.
Yeah, I mean, that would be good if you could have interaction with people live on the podcast,
that would certainly be it. Now, are you going into this, though, as a conservative Republican?
That's what I want to know. Is it going to be a political conservative Republican newscast or podcast?
I think there will clearly be a political component of that. It's going to be my take on a lot of the stuff
that's news of the day at times, but there will also be people that I'm interviewing. You mentioned sort of, you know,
Hunting and the outdoors. I mean, if there are interesting people in my life that we're going to bring them on, we're going to talk about it, you know, have that sort of fireside chat, much less sort of traditional media interview, but certainly more conversational-based. So, you know, I think people enjoy that much more than sort of just going through the typical questions that everyone has an answer to. I think that leads you down to much more. If you're going to be on for now and a half, you're going to be on for now and a half, you're going to have to be entertaining. And that's a pretty heavy lift. We do 42 minutes daily here.
but I've been doing this for a long time.
So let's get down to the campaign.
Are you going to be helping your father with the campaign?
I know your sister is not.
Will you be helping him?
Listen, I'm going to be very active in that stuff.
I mean, for better or worse,
I went from being a real estate developer
to being sort of a leader in the movement,
in the MAGA movement,
fighting for those things.
I've taken those slings and arrows for a long time.
I'm a believer in that.
And so, you know, I'm going to be very involved one way or the other, whether it's, you know, active role in the campaign.
I think even if I didn't have an active role in the campaign, I'm so out there all over the country doing these things, fighting for various conservative causes and for the people that we believe in within the movement, that I'm definitely going to continue that.
That's just a part of my life these days.
And I really actually enjoy being a warrior for that cause and for the Americans that benefit from it.
All right. So you're going to be campaigning for your father.
In the recent Republican fiasco with the speaker, were you happy with that when you were watching Gitz and Bobert and the others pretty much sabotaging McCarthy?
How did you feel about that?
Well, there were times, you know, I like the end results, right?
Yeah, the end result worked out for Republicans.
I think there was a lot more showmanship than needed.
that's because I understand the inside baseball, meaning I knew people on both sides that were
in the room telling me what had already been agreed to and what wasn't. And so there felt like
it was like an excuse to create fundraising emails across the board. Whereas I wasn't, though,
necessarily upset with the debate on the floor of Congress before the American people. I know,
you know, 60 minutes, it's an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment that we don't just sort of stamp
the pre-baked response of the DNC or the RNC or any of these things?
I mean, I think we could actually use a little bit more debate on the floor.
But the two people, Bobert and Gates, who at the end of Friday night were still sitting
there, when everybody knew it, they got a lot of what they wanted, but they still wouldn't
give in.
I'm not even involved with Republican or Democratic politics.
That teed me off.
I went, these people are just grandstand in this.
I think there was a component where it got dragged on longer than it probably needed to.
I think they got the things that they wanted to, and I think that was agreed to beforehand.
I like what they do with the movement.
I'm friendly with both of them, but I think it probably went longer than it needed to,
and I think there was an element of showmanship.
But, you know, that is unfortunately, you know, the nature of the game.
So, again, I'm happy that the fact that there's this debate,
I do think that Kevin will do a good job.
I was actually, you know, for someone who's clearly never going to be called an establishment
kind of guy, I was an earlier believer in that because I knew the guys on his team that were
working on the things that he was planning on doing way before the showmanship started.
And I was like, listen, if we get 30, 40, 50 percent of those things, conservatives are going
to be very happy with the end results of that.
But it's not going to be easy.
With the attack on the IRS and, you know, getting rid of the 87,000 agents.
And, you know, but that's our job that to hold someone accountable.
If they make the promises, I mean, you can put it out there not going to happen.
We'll do that in a moment after we finish talking with you.
Do you talk politics with your father on a regular basis?
Are you guys talking politics?
I do.
These days, we do a lot of that.
Okay.
I'm going on the ground in so many of those places, you know.
All right, so you guys are back and forth in the political spectrum.
Does he know now that his.
power has waned a bit with the American people, according to the polls. And I think it's true.
I mean, not to say he can't make a comeback and he can't reassemble momentum. He can't. And
anybody who thinks he can't is foolish. But right now, he's not as powerful as he once
was. Does he know that? Well, I think you see some of that, but I think that's also a factor
of time, right? You got two years till sort of the next election. That's a long way to go.
It is sort of a marathon. But does he know, does he know where he is in the moment?
He sees all of the information that's out there, Billy. He's a, he's a consummate consumer of
everything that's out there. So I know that, but I don't know if he accepts the information.
See, he sees it. I understand. I don't know if he understands when he wants to put it on
and when it's time to put it on. I think, you know, no one's better at that than him.
Okay. Now, there will be a showdown between Governor DeSantis and Donald Trump if the course of Republican politics continues this way.
There's no doubt that DeSantis wants to be president. I've always said, I don't know DeSantis. I've never spoken to him, but I've always said to your father, if you guys could have a detente, all right, and kind of all right, and kind of allie yourselves, you president, him, vice president, with the
a surety that he'd be treated like mike pence mike pence had a good amount of input into the
trump administration as you well know um if that were the scenario would be a lot easier for you
and the republican party have you discussed that with your father well you know there there
is the concept it's hard to have a vp and the president from the same state right now that
doesn't mean you can't all you got to do is a hillary clinton and and just drive to georgia and get an
apartment you know what hillary did here in new york
Yeah, nobody's going to care. Nobody's going to care.
Yeah, listen, it's an interesting dynamic watching a lot of that. What it was, I think perhaps the most fascinating thing about watching some of that right now is watching sort of the money class of conservative politics right now. They're jostling behind others where they have a lot more control, right? The money class wants a Republican president that's not necessarily greatest for the people, but will ultimately greatest for the guys that control the money.
And watching that shift away from Trump
because they want a president that picks up the phone
and says, how high would you like me to jump, Mr. Donation guy?
That's an interesting thing.
And you actually see that even in sort of corporate media
where they want to be able to control that narrative
more than what you can with Trump.
And that's sort of the interesting aspect of even
the sort of conservative rebuke to America first,
which is like they like the idea of it,
but not if it maybe makes it a little bit harder
for them to get a little bit of a cheaper widget
to make more billion.
So watching that play out, it's been pretty fascinating because, you know, the phenomenon of Trump in America first was so unique and so special.
It was sort of a major shift in conservative politics where they were representing hardworking men and women and the middle class of America, which, you know, they probably hadn't done a good job of before.
But watching them now try to grasp that message, visage it just enough, but not really implement those policies because it may not be as good for the moneyed institutions is pretty far.
fascinating. I think as people dig more into that, they'll see a pretty interesting narrative
taking place, in my opinion. Well, certainly the Republican establishment in Washington doesn't
want any part of you, father, the Mitch McConnell arm and the people in New York. Yeah, I'm not even
talking about that. I'm talking about the donor class. Yeah, no, but they're associated.
You know that. The donor class is associated with the Democratic establishment in Washington,
which, by the way, will turn on a dime if Donald Trump's poll number suddenly rock it.
Your donor class will be right back trying to kiss your butt.
Now, final question for you, if there is a Senate opening in Florida on a Republican side,
might you run for office?
Well, I don't have any intention to doing that right now.
Oh, come on, you mind.
And you want to or someday do you want to run or not?
Well, some day is a different question.
Listen, there's a, you know, I do love the game.
Okay.
You got to also want to do that you got to also want to do the day job.
You know, I sort of, I think perhaps how I've made a name in politics is I'm actually not
afraid of doing the fighting part.
That's the part that most of the conservatives shy away from.
That's the part that they sort of just wither and go away and die.
We need to be doing a better job of that.
But I don't know that I want to necessarily do the bureaucratic part of.
sitting in Washington, D.C., and dealing with these folks just yet.
Doesn't mean I won't in time, but right now, you know, I like being in the action as opposed
to in Washington, D.C.
Okay.
Now, once again, Rumble is the network.
Would that be right?
Rumble?
Well, yeah, it's, you know, it's another version, let's call it, of YouTube, a free speech platform,
so you can go to Rumble sign up under my name, and you'll check out the podcast.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Okay, it's free?
It is.
January 23rd is first podcast, first debut, January 23rd, right?
Correct.
Okay.
So after you've done it for about a month, come on back, and let me know what you think.
And how's it going?
I'll do it.
Well, I want you to watch it.
I want to get the critique from a master bill.
You've done a great job of it for a little time.
You know, I'm just a knee-of-bite.
It's no spin, though.
It's a no-spin critique, you know.
When I'm on with Cuomo, I'm a big boy.
Well, when I'm on with Cuomo and I do the News Nation now every Wednesday,
and he asked me for a critique, it's brutal.
I mean, it's private.
I would never, ever, you know.
But, I mean, if you want a critique, I'll give you a critique, but it's not going to be a lollipop.
I appreciate it.
I don't want a lollipop.
enough of that in this world. All right, Don. Good luck to you. Best to the family, and we'll talk
again soon, I hope. See you. Good to be with you. Thanks, Bill. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of

Okay, so the House, first thing on the agenda was voting to rescind,
$70 billion in spending, okayed by the Biden administration,
to hire 87,000 IRS agents to terrorize the American public.
It's all, it's what it is, you know, just going after me.
And depending on your assets, if you have more than 100K, all right, on your tax return,
they'll come after you.
Not, you know, they can't get everybody, but that's where they're looking.
But anyway, it'll never pass the Senate.
You can't get it through, but it's symbolic.
So McCarthy is sending a message.
because conservatives hate this. They don't want the big government IRS have an 87 more,
thousand more agents to come and terrorize people. Okay. And so that happened yesterday.
Now, the big thing in 2003, 2020, is a recession. I don't know. I mean, it would be
irresponsible of me to predict a recession. But if it happens, it throws all political parties into
chaos because then you're going to have inflation is bad enough. A recession where people
being thrown out of work is a one-two punch that'll bring down the Democratic Party. Now,
you can't root for a recession because Americans are going to get hurt. But Goldman Sachs announced
that they'll lay off 3,000 employees tomorrow. Amazon's already announced that 18,000 jobs
worldwide are out. Sales Force has announced that they're going to cut back their about 7,000
jobs there and on and on and on. Now, it's mostly tech and Amazon is a manufacturing, a retailer
and all that, but they're taking it on the chin, the high-tech industry. If you are a stockholder
and you have high-tech stocks, you know how bad this is.
is. So I don't know. I don't know how it's going to affect the one strong component of the
economy, and that's employment. So Biden hasn't destroyed the employment situation in this
country. He's not responsible for it because it's COVID people coming back and companies
gearing up in a different way. So the employment rate is at a historic law.
if you want to work in America, you can work. But these are high-end jobs now that are now being
eliminated. And if it continues, then we'll get into a recession. So I don't know. So vaccinations
for COVID. So Biden has announced that the government doesn't have any more money to pick up
the tab. So all the vaccinations that you've gotten and I have gotten have been paid for it by the
government so far. Now, Moderna says they want $130 a shot once it goes private, which will come
this year, but they don't know when. Okay. So if you want to get vaxed against the latest COVID
variant, you got a pony up 130 or your insurance company would have to do that. I'm watching
this. This will definitely bring down the vaccinations, no doubt it will.
And at this point, you know, this COVID thing, it's like a super flu now.
But there are elderly people.
They get COVID.
That's it.
Take them off the table.
So complicated, but you should know what's ahead.
That's why we're in business.
We're in business to keep you ahead of the curve in every way.
So recession, we don't know.
Once I get an inkling, I'll tell you because then you'll have to really constrain your spending.
All right. The only defense against a recession and a possible loss of the job is to really cut back on your spending. Americans haven't come back on their spending, even in the inflationary times. Most of them are still spending. I mean, the restaurants on Long Island here, the high-end ones are packed. They're paying the tariff. And that's keeping the economy up, consumer spending. But once people start getting laid off, that's got to come back. And that's what drives a recession.
talk about saving you money so we do this almost every day to give you the ability to keep as much
money as you can keep so there's a website restaurant.com that's easy right restaurant.com this is what you
do there if you go to uh restaurant.com and you put in your zip code okay and then there is
in your zip code, a list of restaurants
who cooperate with restaurant.com.
So you can buy coupons for $10 at a certain restaurant.
You name the restaurant,
but you only pay $4 for the coupon.
So you're saving $6.
And the restaurant has to redeem it for $10.
So say you wanna go to a high-end burger place.
So you put the burger place in
and to see if it's on restaurant.com, and it says, yes, and you can buy a $20 or a $40 or a $50 coupon
for that restaurant specifically, all right, and you pay half or whatever to restaurant.com.
And then when you bring it in, you give them the coupon and they take it off the bill.
So that's a pretty good deal.
And every zip code in the country, I mean, I don't know.
You're out in the middle of needles, California.
I don't know how many options you're going to have, but you're in New York City or a Long Island.
You got options.
So we figured we'd give that to you.
If you use it, let me know.
Okay, if you use any of the stuff we'd give you in the Smart Life segments, and by the way, there are posted on Bill O'Reilly.com is another good reason to go there.
Let me know how it works.
This day in history, January 10th, 1999.
What happened?
Do you know?
first edition of the Sopranos on HBO okay so the Sopranos is a phenomenon to this day 24 years ago
it came on the air tony soprano played by the late james gandolphini was a low-level mob boss in
new jersey and he had a whole bunch of colorful people around him uh and the show started very slow
the audience for season one three and a half million season two six point six billion then eight point nine
then 11 nine point eight point six eight point two in the uh second half of the sixth season now i like
the sopranos too much cursing but the mafia people curse they tell me it could have been cut
back a little bit some of it made me a little queasy because of kids who were watching and
they were trying to emulate this, that wouldn't be good.
But I got it.
And it was an entertaining program.
But I hated the ending.
Roll the tape.
Okay, so there was an implication Tony Soprano, and nobody knows.
And when the show just black, it went to black, millions of Americans called their cable providers and said, well, what happened?
All it is. It was a terrible ending. You got to resolve it. People are emotionally involved. And Seinfeld did that too. You got to resolve it. I think they left it open because they thought Mel maybe we'll come back or whatever. Okay. But it was not good, just my opinion. So we got Mel segment, and we have a final thought on that unbelievable college football championship game last night in a moment.
power, politics and the people behind the headlines.

George Concierge member, which means George gets direct access to me.
Any problem George has, you can send it to me.
Very private.
No one will ever know.
and I'll try to help George out with it.
George says,
Joe Biden has the nerve to ask while at the border,
if I could wave a magic wand and fix it, what would I do?
Maybe he puts it back like he found it.
Very astute.
All he had to do is go back to the remaining Mexico policy
that Trump had, and all of this chaos would stop.
Tony D., College Point, New York.
A bill of best concession out of Kevin McCarthy was term limits.
I believe without term limits, the USA will fall.
Term limits aren't going to happen now, but you try to sell it to the American people.
That's what you try to do.
You have to build up to it, but it's not.
Democrats are never going to do that now could change.
Tim Smith, the Royal Grande, California.
I hope you're not getting inundated with the rain out there.
Boy, Bill, been thinking about term limits.
The problem is that the bureaucracy has no limits.
Take Fauci and the FBI being questioned by the Senate.
They look at the Senate with defiance and tell them they won't answer the crime.
questions because nobody holds them accountable, but term limits would not affect a guy like
Tony Fauci who works for the CDC or the National Institute of Health. That wouldn't affect
them. Just elected people. Gary Burke, Aurora, Illinois, Bobbard and Gates are rock stars.
Nobody remember this, you said, Bill, but folks aren't even following it. They will both get
reelected.
Bover and Engades a rock stars in a very, very small sliver of America.
Okay?
That's all I can tell you.
Maybe I'm wrong, but what they did, they will never have the respect of their colleagues
in a house.
I can tell you that, ever.
Wayne Schmidt, Olaith, Kansas bill, typically the last omnibus bill, passed that had
tons of wasteful spending in it.
see a rule for Congress to pass a bill, that every line of the bill has to have a separate vote.
Then you never get any bills passed.
It would take so long.
It would be impossible.
Couldn't do it.
Dennis Leahyiff, Laurel, Delaware.
Bill, your piece today says that Biden took an oath in office.
He's talking about my column, all right, my column on bill o'Reilly.com.
The Biden took an oath at his inauguration of polls the laws,
United States. The presidential oath omits that. It is, I do solemnly swear to affirm that I will
faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States and will best of my ability
preserve, protect the defendant constitution of the United States. Dennis, Dennis, Dennis.
The Constitution of the United States says that Congress will pass laws and the president must sign them.
Once those laws are passed and signed by the president, they cannot be defied by
another president so the oath of office says i have to uphold the constitution laws past laws are part of
the constitution biden's ignoring immigration law it's a violation okay um no spin mugs put them on up there
just got them all right beautiful we have the state
for your country mugs they almost sold out i think they're reordered but we just got these in you'll love
them and don't forget on sunday uh killing the legends number 13 on the new york times list on
sunday it's been out since september it's january elvis's birthday was sunday and um i hope you
consider the book i think you like it word of the day do not be pertinacious
P-E-R-T-P-I-N-A-C-I-O-U-S.
Do not be pertinacious.
Back with a final thought in a moment.
Okay, here is the final thought of the day.
It's brief.
Georgia beat T-CU 65-7 last night in the championship college football game.
I felt sorry for TCU.
They were overmatched.
Georgia was much stronger.
and I didn't watch the whole game because I felt so sorry for Texas Christian University.
They did their best.
Things like that happen in life.
We all get crushed.
And now you're going to bounce back.
I didn't think Georgia rubbed it in.
They played almost their whole team.
They knew they were better.
I mean, at halftime, everybody knew the game was over.
But the lesson is we all get crushed.
all of us in life.
And you got to pick yourself up.
You heard this before, but it's really important when you get crushed, no matter what it is.
Take a deep breath and you fight your way back.
Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News and we'll see you tomorrow.
