Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, November 11, 2012, 24, stand up for your country. Well, I thought things would calm down over the weekend. No, wrong. Motion's still running very high about the vote. And that is the subject, I should say, of this evening's talking points memo. Okay, so liberal Democrats are furious, of course. But where I live on Long Island, we're not getting a lot of venting.

Get a lot of looks, some dirty looks, but not a lot of shoutouts or anything like that. And the Conservative Corps is deliriously happy. Okay, where I go, everybody wants to know what's going to happen now, and this, that, and the other thing. And you know what the most common question is asked to me? Are you as happy as I am? And my answer is no. I could never be as happy as you are in any circumstance. But my job is to watch all the people in power, and that's my job.

A lot of people, they don't understand that. They think that this is more of a cable news presentation where there's rooting going on. There's no rooting here. I mean, I made it clear that I was going to vote for Donald Trump, and I told you why. Was it based on ideology? It was based on what I believe is best for the country. And thank God that most of my compatriots think the way I do. So Trump won and Kamala Harris lost.

But there is bitterness on the left, because they weren't anticipating this. Not with the press touting Kamala Harris as hard as it did. So the left is turning on each other, which is very interesting to watch. First sound by Nancy Pelosi, blaming Biden. Go. The anticipation was that if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward.

But we don't know that. That didn't happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. Well, I don't believe a word of it. You know, Nancy Blasey is not a truth teller. I can document that a thousand times.

The Democratic establishment is split into the party apparatchniks, Nancy Pelosi, whatever the party wants to do, she'll do, and the far-left zealots who run the Biden White House who desperately wanted Kamala Harris because she's as further left than Biden. Okay, so there is a split, but nobody in the Democratic Party wanted a primary, a messy primary, because that would have brought disparagement to Biden and Harris because they did such a terrible job. Why would you want a primary with a guy an independent Democrat or a conservative Democrat, whatever,

blasting the current White House? No. So Pelosi's not telling the truth, which is her modus operandi. Then that's who she is. Now we go into the media precincts. MSNBC, an arm of NBC News, an arm of Comcast. It's ridiculous, absurd. Anybody watching that is a loon.

I'm sorry. Now, if you watch it just to get a perspective on what the loons believe, okay. But if you're believing this stuff, you're alone. Roll the tape. Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. White women voters did not. That is what it appears happened in that state, is that if you can't flip enough white women, and we've talked about this on this set numerous times.

Go about race for her. Everything's about race. Everything. If you go to the Met game, about race. A lot of white guys struck it. I mean, come on. How boring is this? Third one.

This was a situation where the head of the Democratic Finance Committee went on Fox and blamed the Obama's. Michelle and Barack Obama waited three days to endorse Kamala Harris. It was a silence hurt around the world. And prior to Biden's endorsement that no one really anticipated, they were vetting people like Mark Kelly. So now it's Pelosi is blaming Biden. Joy Reed is blaming white women. And the finance director is blaming Michelle and Barack. This is really, I mean, come on. Now, I don't blame anybody because I know what happened. Most Americans are suffering because of Biden's incompetence. That's it. That's it.

That's why Trump won an old landslide. Now, there is an ideological component, and I'll get to that. There is. The woke stuff and the DEI stuff, most Americans don't want that. But by far in a way, it was they're paying more than 20% more for essentials of life than they did under Trump. That's what did it. Okay.

When you look at the stats, and we'll give them to you in a moment. moment. I hope you have a pen and paper handy because you're amazing historical stats that I am about to give you. When you look at them, it is clear there were two main reasons the Democrats fell apart. One was President Biden, the second worst president in our history. That's a pretty tough bar. He made it. And if you read confronting the presidents, and I hope that. you have, all right, or will, I lay it out there. I can't lay it out any clearer, okay? And Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate.

Why was she a terrible candidate? For one simple reason. If you are speaking to a person, okay, no matter where you are, you're having a conversation, you ask them a question, and the person just doesn't answer it, okay, maybe it's a personal question, you understand, but if it's just a generic question, why are they not answered? You know, when I hire people from my three corporations, I have to ask them questions. If they don't answer the questions, I don't hire them. If you have a babysitter or somebody who does your lawn, cut your lawn, or a plumber or a painter, and you ask them

a question about the job, and they won't answer it, do you hire them? That's it. She wouldn't answer any questions. And America's, even the dumbest of us, are going, is something wrong? Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold.

and silver. Through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA.

I'm Miranda Devine. host 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. I mean, I have followed politics now for 50 years. I've never seen this before.

The arrogance of it and the disrespect for you, the American voter. Because you're voting to hire her for four years to run the country. And she won't answer any questions. That's disrespectful to you. Now, some people don't care, they don't care about anything, but most people do, and that took a while for that to get around. And then when she went on the view and said she wouldn't change anything, that was the final nail, okay? So that's why they lost, but there is another component. She is, and I said this for you on, the furthest left presidential candidate in history,

she got elected, this country would have been turned over, it would have been. would have been horrible and I have a message of the day where I just lay it out I'm just going to tell you one I want you to read the message of the day post it every morning you don't have to be a member just go to bill O'Reilly.com and there it is okay Kamala Harris when it comes down to it she wants a central planning apparatus at a Washington or Sacramento in California wherever to tell us what to do in every phase of our lives, economically, medically, everything. The big government will tell.

They'll dictate what we do. All right. You give us all your money through taxation. We'll set you up, cradle the grave. Nobody will really do well, but nobody's going to be destined. That's what we want. Central planning. Okay.

That's what she wants. That's what she believes in. Not self-reliance, robust capitalism, marketplace competition. None of that. and that's why she lost and that's a memo all right here are the stats ready for the stats as we have them now it may change a little but not much so a popular vote all right so trump got almost 75 million you see it on the screen there 74 8 and that's about what he got last time harris got 71 million that's down 10 million from joe in 2020

Why? Because people who hate Donald Trump, they're suffering too in the marketplace. And they just didn't go to vote for her because she's part of the apparatus of why they're suffering. Electoral College 312 to 226, which is a landslide. And if you look at the counties, I think it was what? 85% of American counties voted for Trump. It's just ridiculous. It's just the real liberal strongholds that supported her. None of the regular folks. All right, let's go to the exit polling age 18 to 29, the youngans. Harris got 54, Trump 43.

30 to 44. Now we're getting a little mature here. We've got families going on. And it was essentially a tie. Harris 49 and Trump 48. Then we get to the middle age, 45 to 16. Thinking about your future retirement, Trump wins big, 54, 44, and then 65 or old is surprised me. Tie, 49 each.

Okay? I guess some of the old people, senior citizens, bought that Trump was going to destroy Social Security and Medicare. I guess they bought, I don't know what that vote is. I really don't know what that is. But it's there. Okay. how about marital status? Single, married. Married people first. 56% Trump, 43 Harris. Not married, 54 Harris, 42 Trump. Okay, very close. Just flipped it. And unmarried people, there's a lot of

women in there with the abortion and all that. Race. This is the most interesting one to me. So white Americans, which make up 71% of the voting public, 57 Trump. 41 Harris. Black 85 Harris. 13 Trump. That's what Trump thought he's going to do better there. Latino, this was the key. 12% of the electorate. Blacks are 11%. So Latinos outnumber them now. 52% Harris, 46% Trump. I said if Trump got over 40, he would win. And once again, I am an Oracle. Asian 54 for Harris, 39 for Trump. No idea. about that vote. I don't know why that is. Religion. Protestants make up 42% of the electorate. They broke for Trump big, 63 to 36. Catholic. Last time around, it was 50-50.

This time Trump got 58, Harris 40, because Kamala Harris celebrated abortion, celebrated. It made it into a noble thing. That's why that happened. Jewish, 78% Harris, 22, Trump, which shows you that Jewish Americans prioritize their liberal belief system over Israel. That's their priority. Okay. Gender. Okay, 42% male voted for Harris.

55 of 13 voted for Trump. Female. Okay. 53% of the electorate male is. 47 by the way interesting 53% of female voters went for Harris 45 for Trump so an eight point advantage for Harris there but it didn't couldn't overwhelm the other demographics isn't that interesting you know you think I thought women would be more for Trump because of the grocery store factor but ideology you know if you are a voter who

is gripped by ideology. The ideology is more important to you than actual what's happening in real life. And there are millions of voters like that. You know, the black vote is very interesting because it's cultural in America. Blacks are expected to vote Democrat. And if you don't, you get heat, generally speaking.

You get heat, societal heat. And that's why it's the way it is. because black Americans are suffering, no doubt about it. All right, President Biden marking Veterans Day Today, and we salute all of our veterans. I have raised about $40 million to help veterans in my career. Very proud of that. And the president went to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington Cemetery. He did what he should do.

He did what he should do. Biden and Trump are going to meet Wednesday at the White House. This is usually what happens, but it did not happen four years ago. So Trump did not meet with Biden four years ago, but Biden is going to meet with Trump on Wednesday. And they're going to talk about foreign affairs, particularly Ukraine, and how the power is going to be handed over, which is a good thing. All right. But we have a poll, Bill O'Reilly.com, and poll question is, how high are your expectations for second Trump administration, very high 65? high, 32, and very low one.

I mean, people that don't care, but most people have high expectations. And with Congress being in Trump's corner, those expectations have put pressure on Donald Trump. You're going to have to get things done. Join us now for West Palm Beach, Florida, is Monica Crowley, who's a conservative podcaster, a Monica Crowley podcast.

I've know Monica since, Elvis was a tyke. That's not fair. You're much younger than I am and you look much better. Anyway, she comes to us with some priorities for her. This is about Monica, not about Trump. So give me five. In order of importance that you want President Trump to accomplish quickly, what's number one? Yes. Well, first, Bill, great to be with you. We are here celebrating. We're all going to save America together. Here are my top five priorities for President Trump right off the bat. And he has spoken about a couple of these that he is actually going to begin on day one. And if you want to drill down into each one, we can certainly do that. But number one for me is closed the border. And there are a lot of elements that go into sealing the border, mass deportations, etc. But that, for you. me is number one number two which let me stop let me stop let me stop okay okay so border and that would border economy would be obviously one two for any thinking person when he says mass deportations you know that each person here in residence here not people caught coming across the border they

can be sent right back are entitled to due process they have to have a hearing isn't not going to cause the Trump administration promise. Well, I've actually talked to top people around President Trump about this because you well know, Bill, that the imperial media is going to do for every single case

what they did with Elian Gonzalez, who was that Cuban child living in Miami with an American family, they pulled at the heart streams, it made a very emotional situation. And to your point, when they have to be processed legally, then the imperial media is going to cover every

single story as a heart-wrenching kind of thing to try to turn America's opinions against it. But keep in mind, Bill, that you have about 70% of the American people who want mass deportation. So public support at the moment is on the law. I know that. But come on, I don't be Kamala Harris. You know and I know that there is a due process inside the law. It's there. So you can't just drag somebody off their lawn, throw them in a van, and take them to Tijuana. You've got to have it. So you're talking 10 million people at least. So when you say mass deportations, I'm going to go, what is that going to look like?

Well, let's start with square one, Bill, which is 1.3 million illegals here have been accused of a serious violent crime, like murder, like rape. They're getting turned around immediately. So Rome wasn't built in a day. Let's start with the most violent criminals who have already been through the process who can be turned out beginning day one, day 10, or in the first 100 days. Judge has to sign off on it, but an immigration judge has to sign up, but we assume they will. Are they sending them to Rome? You mentioned Roma.

Are they going to, no. I'm giving you hard time. You know me in the cliches, okay? we were right. No, I know when you're mentioning Bill, 10 million illegals, actually the number is a lot higher than that. So this is going to be a Herculean task. But you know what I subtracted? I subtracted the undocumented migrants who have children born here because they're not going anywhere. Federal courts will stop that. That is probably, yeah, that is probably true that those people will be grandfathered in, but starting immediately is going to work with Congress to change the

anchor baby status, so that is going to be a disincentive for the future. Right. And they should. So we're talking 10 million residents who are here illegally that Trump believes and the people who voted for Trump, overwhelming, you've got to assume they believe that too, should be sent back to their home countries and then they can go through the legal process. But it's not going to be an instantaneous thing, Monica. It's going to take years for that to happen. It is definitely going to be a process, that's for sure, but I can tell you that on day one. You know, it was so interesting, Bill, over the last 24 hours, is that President Trump announced

Tom Homan, who's a former ICE director, before he announced a single cabinet member. So that shows you where President Trump's priorities are. Tom Homan is a complete border badass. So while we're talking about mass deportations, that's also going to run on a parallel track with supercharging the border patrol. There's no doubt about it. Holman is going again. Holman is going to be in charge of stopping as many. But even though I like the guy, and I think his philosophy is good, the way this is going to

stop is Mexico is going to put its armed forces back on the northern and southern borders of its country. That will happen because Trump will say, look, if you don't do it, we're going to crush you economically, and so they'll do it.

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.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. So we assume that the border will be sealed up pretty tight by April of 25. Okay, let's get on to your second priority.

What would that be? Second priority is related to the economy, and it's something that President Trump has talked about on day one, which he can do by executive order, and that is Drill Baby Drill. So he is going to open up all of the areas that Biden and Harris have shut down, especially federal land for drilling. He is going to get us back almost immediately to energy independence, which he got us to in the first term. And I'll tell you how it's going to have an immediate effect on the economy bill. Energy is built into every single thing you consume, whether it's this pen or my laptop that I'm talking to you through. it is built into everything, particularly groceries, and obviously the gas you put in your car

and the energy you use to heat and cool your home. So the second he signs that executive order on day one, prices will immediately begin to come down. It is going to have a massive effect on inflation, starting from the start. You're correct that once the fuel prices go down, all the transportation to the grocery stores, bringing the food in, all of that drops, all right? And people have more money in their pockets because gas prices will drop because there'll be more gas on the marketplace and on and on and on. But there are going to be businesses, a lot of them, that aren't going to drop the prices.

They won't. And Kamala ran around going, I'm going to get the price cougers. I'm going to, no, you're not. You can't. So I think Donald Trump's going to have to make a campaign public relations-wise saying, look, There are certain businesses that's just going to keep the prices artificially high and hope they can get away with it. Don't go there.

You see? It's going to have to be. Yes. And I don't know whether he's going to do that or not. I would. Well, you know, it is true that once prices increase, very difficult to bring them down because businesses see a wider profit margin, so they have less incentive to actually take prices back down. But this is the beauty of free market capital.

capitalism, because prices will go down elsewhere. And if people identify businesses or industries that are gouging them, they're going to take their pocketbooks and go spend their disposable income somewhere else. I would like to see you as Secretary of Gouging. I do a great job at going out here. I know. That's what I'm talking about. So you're going to go, okay, pigly-wiggly, you better get those prices down or we're coming

after you. All right, third. What's third? Third, and this is something that we executed when I was at the U.S. Treasury Department and the first Trump administration, which has made the Trump tax cuts permanent. Okay, we'll assume that's going to happen. He's got both houses of Congress. Okay, four.

He has to do that, though, bill in the first 100 days while he is maximum political capital and leverage with Congress. You got to do it in the first month, not 100 days. I hope so. Yeah, the bill should be ready to go. You give it a Johnson and you give it a. Thune or whoever's running the Senate, and go, I want it done. And boom, they'll vote for it like that. No, 100 days a month. You got a month. I hope it's as seamless as that, Bill, from your

lips to God's ears. No lips. And, you know, I'm going to, I'll be out there with a sign in front of the White House if it is more than 30 days. What's for? Number four, to me, and there's so many incredibly important appointments that the president has to make, but to me, the most important cabinet member is going to be the attorney general. Because while we face all kinds of existential threats from the Chinese Communist Party to Iran with a nuclear weapon, to me, the most existential threat is the enemy within. It's the weaponization of government. I agree. I want to see the attorney general empowered to do you have any preference. Do you have any preference for AG? Because I don't, I don't know who he's going to point. Got anybody?

Well, I think that, and these are names that have been reported publicly, but Ken Paxton, who is the current AG of Texas, is considered a controversial guy, though. Very controversial guy. All right, you're looking for a hard, hard guy. I don't know. I'm researching it now, but I don't know. Last one real quick. Okay, last one is election reform. I want to see that done in the first hundred days when he has maxed political capital. President has talked about a national ID photo requirement. That's going to get a lot of pushback from states like California and New York who don't have it and in the courts because states do run elections according to the Constitution. But I do want to see the president drive a stake in the ground on election reform because that and the wide open border are the two big existential threats. I like it.

It's going to be constitutional to have to go to the Supreme Court, though. I think they should pass. it, let them litigate it, let it go to the court. They got to close down Arizona. Arizona, you got to close it, okay, because they can't count their votes. I'm going to get into this. I'm very, you know, I like Arizona, but come on, you got it. You got to do a better job.

All right, Monica, thank you very much, as always, very lively. We appreciate it, and we'll talk to you soon. I hope. Thank you, Bill. You bet. Okay. I was going to do the Nancy Pelosi, Bernie, Sanders feud, but I'm going to save it till tomorrow.

Okay, we already made our points that they're fighting among themselves, but there's a bigger issue here with Pelosi and Sanders. So tomorrow I'm going to do that, just signaling my producers. All right, Kamala Harris apparently paid Oprah a million dollars, her production company Harpo, for putting on a big concert, a star-studded thing. and this is according to reporting from us. We have confirmed it. All right, Washington Examiner ran it, New York Post ran it,

but we have confirmed us independently that Harpo and Oprah got a million from Harris. Wow. And then there's a bunch of others. They had concerts with Lady Gaga and John Bon Jovi. Hey, they all made big money. They didn't do this free. But Oprah clocked in it.

And Oprah says she wanted to leave the country? No, I don't think so. I don't think Oprah did. So I wrote a column. It's a pretty funny column. I'm Bill O'Reilly.com called Departures. If you didn't read it, again, you don't have to be a member. Just go in and read this stuff.

So I have some advice for the people who are leaving. Here are some of them. This isn't in my column. These are the people that publicly said they're leaving the USA if Trump wins. Here they are. Cardi B. Lily Reiner, Christina Applegate. I like Christina.

Don't leave. America, Ferrara, mini driver. I thought she was British. Share, don't go, share. I do write about Cher. Sophie Turner, Sharon Stone. Oh, come on. We can't have Sharon Stone leaving.

Barbara Shreve said, you, Barbara could go. You know, she can go down at Uruguay or wherever she wants to go. Okay, so read my column. Let me know what you think about it. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly. Dot com. Name in town.

and Barbara, if you need any help, you know, packing up or anything, I mean, I got guys. Arizona, I'm sorry. Every time I get down in Arizona, which is always in a winter, can't be there in the summer, too hot. I love it there, but you can't count the votes. You got to close until you can count the votes. I'm sorry, you got to close. So to this day, all right, six days of the, after we voted. They've only counted 92% of us. So 8% aren't counted. And they couldn't call

anything. And finally, Trump won the state and Ruben Gallego, the Democrat defeated Carrie Lake for the Senate. Finally, it's still a House race there that hasn't been called. It's ridiculous. Come on. You know, you can't do this. If you can't count the vote, let the feds run it. Nevada, we got the same thing because of Harry Reid, the late senator, Harry Reid, set up this really crooked thing in Vegas, Clark County, and they can't get by it. And California doesn't want to count the votes. They don't want them. And they don't.

All right. I'm very angry about Arizona, because Arizona should not be this way. It's a little state. Doesn't have a lot of people. How many people do they have? 7.4 million. Okay? Where I live, there are 16.5 billion.

billion. And they can count the votes in the day here, and you can't count them in six days? Sorry. California gas prices. I think our biggest audience, when I was doing a factor on Fox, our biggest audience, California, I believe that is carried through to Bill O'Reilly.com. In the United States, Californians, our biggest audience, because it's the biggest state. Well, I got bad news for you guys. So gas prices could rise by 65 cents a gallon because of the vote Friday night, California Air Resources Board to change fuel standards to reduce emissions.

So right now, California's got the highest gas prices in the country, $4.68 a gallon. Okay, $3.9 a gallon is the average nationwide. That's way above national average. 65 cents on, that's five and a quarter for a gallon in California because of the emissions, global warming, all of that. So if you have a 20-gallon tank, that's more than 100 bucks in California. Coming up. Smart life.

So here's something that's not going to get better, even though I believe. Trump will, the energy policy that Monica was talking about, will bring prices down. And I hope quickly. But here's something that's not going to change. So I don't eat a lot of junk food, but I had a tin of Pringles. Pringle is pretty good. But I try not to eat a lot of that stuff. But somehow Pringles found its way into my house.

And I popped the top off, you know, it was sealed up. and I look in the cylinder, and there's about an eighth of the Pringle cylinder, there's no chips. Now, I remember buying Pringles years ago where it was right up to the brim. So what Pringles is doing is what a lot of them do, bathroom tissue, they give you less for the same price. So they're making a lot of money because you're getting 80% of the Pringles you used to get. They cut back by 20. I don't know, I didn't count the chips, but I went, where, wait, what is this? Smart life.

So, when you buy something, be cognizant of the fact that you may be getting a lot less than you used to get for the same price. That's slight of hand. Because nobody knows that. Okay, unless you're reading a five, well, I bought seven ounces of three and a cost. Nobody does that. But Pringles, come. But fill that cylinder up, smart life. Stay in history, November 11, 1918.

World War I ends. Now, World One, nobody cares. Everybody goes, why don't you write a book on World War I? Nobody cares. Okay, I'm sorry, they should care, but they don't. So there's 106 years ago, Woodrow Wilson's president, all right? And it's stacked up this way in Europe. Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Ottomans, and Bulgaria.

Bulgaria were against all the allied powers, France, UK, Russia, Italy, USA got in late, Serbia, Belgium, on and on, and on. And it was a stupid war. Never should have started. If you want to know origins of World War I, just Google it, it'll come up. Archduke friends, somebody in Serbia gets assassinated. Ridiculous, but it was horrible. Horrible. My grandfather's right in the middle of it. Horrible. Poison gas, everything like that. Okay, so in 1917, All right, more than about three years after the war started, Wilson starts to send troops over there. Two million Americans went over, okay? And the fighting lasted four years, three months, two weeks. A hundred and sixteen thousand Americans died, either from battlefield wounds or disease. 116,000, all told 16.5 million died in Europe, horrible. So World War I ended 106 years ago today. Back with the final thought in a moment.

Okay, final thought of the day, Jay Leno rolled into Long Island on Friday night. I went over to see him. I've known him for many years. As you know, I appeared on this program tons of times. That was the golden age of late-night TV. I mean, Carson was the best. Leno took over for him. But Leno was really good, and Letterman, and, you know, what the deal was.

And I was talking to Jay about the disintegration. Leno doesn't do political stuff. He did an hour and 20, and he's a pro. I mean, he's very good stand-up. You get a chance to go in. Crowd-loved him. But he doesn't do political stuff. You know, he says, look, I don't want to torque people off.

That's not why I'm in business. So I had a good chat with Jay. And when I was in the theater at Westbury to see him, you know, I got security and everything, but I'm not walled off and people were coming over. And it was a mixed crew. You could tell Republicans and Democrats, everybody's very nice, really, really good. And I answered all questions, post the pictures, whatever they wanted. But I was, you know, taking the temperature of the crew.

but everybody was great so it was a good night we got a really good week here a lot of breaking stuff we're on it as far as what Donald Trump is doing and what his transition will look like and we hope go to the YouTube thing you see what I'm going to say about him and we will see you tomorrow on the no-spin news
