Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021, stand up for your country. Now, I'm taking credit for this San Francisco thing. I know it wasn't just me, but I pounded them on radio and television about trying to take the names of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson off the schools out there. And they folded. They folded yesterday. And we're happy. And I'll get into this in micro detail. So the first thing that happened was that the San Francisco School Board was under intense pressure, not only in the city by the

today, but all over the country, because most people understand there are no perfect, are no perfect people, even icons, even historical figures, even presidents. I mean, I'm a historian, you guys know that. There isn't one president, not one, who didn't do some bad things in his life, not one. There are no icons, there are no war heroes. No one. If you read my books from killing Lincoln on, I tell the truth about these people. So the loons in San Francisco, whose agenda is basically to indoctrinate children, school children, into a brave new world of socialism, and America's bad and all American tradition

should be done away with immediately so we can have inclusion and we can have fairness and we can have equality and we can have this great, great world that we're going to impose on everybody. And if you don't like it, we're going to destroy you, by the way. That's part of it. So anyway, the nuts out in San Francisco was six to one. The school board voted to take the names of the icons off the schools. And that would have cost a couple hundred thousand dollars to do it. $400,000 was the estimate. So the head of the school board, Gabriela Lopez, issued a statement on the matter yesterday, I'm going to quote her. I acknowledge you take responsibility that mistakes were made in the renaming process. Reopening Willoughby our only focus until all the

children and young people are back in schools. We're canceling renaming committee meetings for the time being. We will be revising our plans to run a more deliberate process moving forward, which includes engaging historians at nearby universities to help because we don't know anything. She didn't say that, but they don't know anything, nothing. So I've made this, I've mentioned this a couple of times that I want to clarify tonight. Martin Luther King, Jr., in my opinion, was a great hero. And I write about him extensively in killing Kennedy. okay however he did some things that are not good and they're documented they're on tape now those tapes have not been put out they're still classified as national security

and they won't be put out to 2007 I don't think they'll be put out then and I don't want them to come out I don't want them to come out because I think that Dr. King did so much good he shouldn't be besmirched even by his own activities. But you could not name anything after him if you went by the standards of San Francisco or anyone else. You wouldn't have any names of any historical people. Do you not understand all this?

All right. We won. That's a big one. This is a big one. Big victory for traditional fair, in America. On to censorship. We'll win this one, too. So there are two congresspeople from California, which is really not even a state and a union anymore. It's kind of a state of mind. All right, so Anna Esho and Jerry McInerney. I'll tell you about them in a minute. So there are two

congresspeople, and they have introduced or they want to, censor Fox News, News, News Max, one America. I want to censor them. By having the companies that carry them, drop them all. Okay, here's what the Congressman put on paper, and I'm going to quote them. Nearly half Americans get their news primarily from TV. However, not all TV news sources are the same. Some purported news outlets have long been misinformation, rumor mills, and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm. Misinformation on TV has led to our current polluted information environment that radicalizes individuals to commit seditious acts and rejects public health, best practices, among other issues, and our public discourse. Experts have noted that the right-wing

media ecosystem is more susceptible to disinformation lies and have truths, unquote. Experts have noted. Who might that be? Who are those experts? Okay, so this dams all the right-wing television outlets. But doesn't mention that for three years, the left-wing outlets, NBC News, CNN, CBS, and ABC, carried on a daily basis false and fallacious reporting and analysis on Russian collusion. Three years, every day. Somehow that escaped Congresswoman Esho and Congressman McInerney. They didn't quite get that. I didn't quite see it. Even when the Mueller report was released, embarrassing all of the anti-Trump media, all of the liberal media. But they didn't care. It didn't pause a beat. Now, I don't justify bad behavior by pointing to

other bad behavior. That's one of the cardinal rules on the no-spin zone. We do not do that. And yes, there was fallacious analysis and reporting on the right-wing. networks. Yes, there was. A lot of the stuff that was put out was false about the election and about other things. A lot of it, not a little of it, a lot of it. You never heard it here. Not one time. Not one time. Did it ever occur to you? Because I know you guys are paying attention to the news, not just me. Did it ever occur that I didn't do it one? once that I didn't buy into any specific conspiracy one time in the election? Why didn't I do that? Because there was no information. There was stuff put out there all over the place, but it wasn't

confirmed by anyone. And when I, and we reported this accurately, and you know it, we went out wrong one time in the whole election cycle, not once. All right, I'll stack that record up against anybody. We reported it down the line fair. There was fraud in the election. There was. The Justice Department knows it, but it didn't rise to the Supreme Court doing anything about it because it wasn't pervasive enough to overturn the vote. Now, maybe it will be. I said yesterday that Mike Lindell could be the greatest hero since Paul Revere if he fights the lawsuit against him by the Dominion voting people and the other machines, and discovers that there was mass fraud in those machines, Mike Lindell becomes Paul Revere. And he has an opportunity to do it

because his attorneys can discover. They can go in and look. And everything that Mike Lindell purports to be true, he can produce evidence. in that trial to back them up. If that happens, then the whole thing it's turned on its head. Because the Justice Department under Joe Biden never gonna look at this in a million years, and yesterday the Supreme Court turned it down.

Why? Because there wasn't enough evidence for six of the Supreme Court justices to say, well, we're not gonna go into Pennsylvania and overturn that vote. Now you know there are three Supreme Court justices that are going to vote for Biden, no matter what it is, you could bring in videotape

of people cheating and they wouldn't care. All right? But there are enough justices on the Supreme Court. If the evidence was there, they would have said, yeah, we got to take a look at this Pennsylvania thing. But they said, no, 6 to 3. Now, I know some of you aren't going to believe the system no matter what.

I know that, okay? All I can do is tell you what's real, what we have, what we see. So anyway, back to these nuts, Ushu and Mac and Ernie. They've written a letter to AT&T, Verizon, Roku, Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Charter, Dish, Cox, Alphabet, and Hulu, saying you've got to take off the right-wing conservative networks. Okay, this is totalitarianism. This is what they do in China. is what they do in Cuba

okay now these two I mean McInerney he's stocked in California okay very liberal place 69 years old you know I mean the guy is in the outer limits

he's in the ozone and S.U this is Santa Clara San Mateo Santa Cruz she's 78 years old and again I mean there's no talking to these people.

Now, tomorrow, they're going to testify in front of a House committee. That's going to be a lead story. You've got Bernie Goldberg coming up on them tomorrow. So we'll advance to this story. All right. It's not going to happen, by the way. They're not going to take the right-wing networks off. That would be unconstitutional for them to do it.

And the FCC chairman laced them. All right. He's still there. Biden didn't get rid of him. Put that quote on a screen. He laced them. All right. Today, two senior Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee selectively targeted a handful of news media outlets for their coverage of political events.

By writing letters to the cable providers and other regional entities that carry these news media outlets, the Democrats are sending a message that is as clear as it is troubling. These regulated entities will pay a price if the targeted newsrooms do not conform to Democrats' preferred political narratives. Good for this guy, Brendan Cox. Good for him. That's exactly what it is. You better tow the line. We're going to hurt you.

I mean, that's the whole game. Tomorrow, by the way, Soledad O'Brien Far Left journalist is going to testify. We'll use some of her. Emily Bell, I don't know her. Columbia University, you can imagine. Kristen Urguiza? I don't know her. Jonathan Turley is a fair man.

thoroughly as a fair man. Again, Goldberg will be here to help us tomorrow. All right, Democrats are canceling Governor Andrew Cuomo. We couldn't find one liberal pundit sticking up for the governor last night. Not one. CNN has muted his brother, Chris Cuomo, as a non-oclock program. He can't mention his brother, Andrew Cuomo, the governor. So Democrat assemblyman Ronald Kim wants Cuomo impeached, not Chris, Andrew in New York. We don't have recall here like you have in California. Newsom, I think Newsom may be gone this year. But anyway, Andrew Cuomo can't be recalled, but he can be impeached.

And a Democrat's leading away. Okay, and 11 members of the New York State Democratic Party have submitted a resolution in the legislature in Albany to censure. Andrew Cuomo. So they're after him. And this is, everybody's asking me, why are the left after one of their own? Remember, just two, three weeks ago, Andrew Cuomo was like, oh, the big, it's going to be Attorney General, he's going to do this, going to, here's why they're after him, because the smart heads in the Progressive Party know they've overreached, and I'm going to do that in the final thought. They know it. So now they're throwing Cuomo because you can't defend what Cuomo did.

people died and he won't admit it but it's true you can't defend it nobody can defend it so they're going to throw him over the side into the ocean so they can point to oh no no no we just don't cancel conservatives we we cancel all bad people that's why they're doing it isn't fascinating two federal investigations one by the FBI out of Brooklyn into the nursing home Cuomo situation. And now some Republican senators want to launch an investigation out of Capitol Hill on Andrew. Andrew. And this is just an aside. CNN, you know what CNN is, okay. Hate Trump, this and that. The week of January 18th, they were still hating Trump. of 2,800,000 viewers.

The week of February 8th, they lost 35% of their audience, and it's gonna get down to 50% and 60% CNN. Got, vanished. Along with Trump, as soon as Trump left, CNN, and MSNBC's audience, woo! Fox's having trouble, you know that across the board. So as I predicted, they're all gonna be, I have not a good year this year, unless some big thing happens.

Reparations for slavery, and we've got a good guest on this coming up. He's warming up in the bullpen in Kansas for us. All right, so there was a study done at Harvard, my alma mater. And two guys did this study, Dr. Eugene Richardson and Dr. Momin Malik. And they came to the conclusion that descendants of slaves should receive $800,000 per household in reparations. And if they did, they got $800,000, then maybe that slavery thing would be mitigated. Okay. That's never going to happen in a million years. So anyway, Joe Biden, he doesn't oppose reparations like his former boss, Barack Obama did.

Here's what Jen Saki said about President Biden. He has signed an executive order on his first day, which would begin to deliver on his commitment to having an across-government approach to addressing racial inequality and making sure equity is a part of his entire policy agenda. But he certainly would support a study of reparations. We understand that we don't need a study to take action right now. I don't know what that means. There's going to be a study. Whenever you hear that, we're going to have a commission. No, we're going to have a study.

Whenever you hear that, it means nothing's going to happen. Okay, so there is a bill, H.R. 40, that would do something, create a commission. Okay. The bottom line is not going to be any reparations, direct payments to descendants of slave in the United States. Not going to happen. because it would be so explosive and cause so much damage to race relations, people are going, hey, I lost descendants fighting for the North. I had my property seized.

You know, what about this? What about it? I mean, it would never end. So it's not going to happen. J.P. Morgan has tapped $30 billion to advance racial equity. This is the Biden thing. So J.P. Morgan is going to put 30 billion of its own money, kind of, toward supplying more loans to customers and businesses of color, expanding operations and opening branches to serve more communities in the neighborhoods that are marginalized and investing in new technology to help somebody. I don't have any problem with that. I don't have any problem with J.P. Morgan spending $30 billion or $80 billion or $90,000. billion bringing services to people in neighborhoods that are underserved. None. I don't have

any problem with J.P. Morgan hiring as many minorities they want to hire as long as they're qualified. Okay? No problem. This is a private company that can do what they want. But there's always a butt. Out of the $30 billion, they're taking their tax credit for it. So they're taking a tax right off for this equity business, J.P. Morgan is. so they're deducting it. So they're going to pay less tax, this huge company, this huge bank company, less money is going in to the Treasury, the U.S. Treasury, because they're taking a write-off on it.

Just thought you'd like to know that. That'll never be reported by anybody else, but this and that. I mentioned Barack Obama. He opposes reparations, or at least he did it in the past. Very, very clearly, quote, I'm going to quote them. This is July 2017-2008. I have said in the past, I'll repeat again, the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed, unquote. So, there you go.

I was bringing Michael Austin. He is the director of the Sandal and Center for Entrepreneurial Government in Wichita, Lawrence, Kansas, I should say. And he has been an advisor to the governor of Kansas. He knows his economic stuff. So did I make any mistakes, Michael, in my run up to reparations? that you heard. Do you disagree with anything I said? No, not at all. Reparations, if done, would be my word. The largest government handout the country would ever see, and it's going to be as effective in solving race relations as the New Deal and War on Poverty were effective in growing the economy, right? So in other words, a complete disaster. We here at the Kansas Policy Institute educate government agencies can only do one thing and one thing well, and that's give out government handouts. We really need to empower the people to be the best version of themselves.

That's the best way to see equality out there. Okay, so what do you say to a person who says, listen, Michael, you know, my relatives, my ancestors were enslaved. Then after that, they couldn't get an education. They had to move to Michigan to make a living. They had to live in a ghetto. They weren't, didn't pass down any legacy, any material, things to their children and that cycle of poverty and that cycle of deprivation lasts up to this

minute. Aren't we entitled we, the victims of slavery all these years later, aren't we entitled to some government help? How would you answer that? Well, there already is government help, but you have to also understand we as a society don't hold people responsible for things that happened in the past. And secondly, when you think about reparations, We're not talking about reparations. Reparations means there's a specific victim and there's a specific perpetrator. We're talking about government handouts. Take myself, for example, my family didn't come to America until well after slavery ended.

Do you think Joe Biden and his reparation study are going to take that into consideration and spend fewer dollars? No, of course not. This is functionally no different than canceling student loans or Medicare for all. It's all about massively expanding government handouts. Now, the president of the United States, Mr. Biden, seems to be on board with handing out as much as he can to so-called marginalized communities, not just African-Americans, but there's a whole list. And this is the equity play that he did the first day he was in office. How do you feel about that, giving favorable treatment to so-called marginalized groups? It depends on what that treatment is.

But I think for most of the, for most arguments, you don't create equity, you don't create justice by making one group worse off than the other. And second, this talk about free stuff, either free health care or free tuition or even reparations. It's all about taking, you know, people's hard-earned money and spending it in the most flamboyant way possible, regardless of the results. Why do you think that 90% of African-American voters continue to support the Democratic Party in places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, when their whole society is falling apart around them? Crime is crazy. Poor people are suffering, being murdered by the thousands. Why do they still support the people who don't seem to be able to help them? Well, let me flip that question a little bit. You know, why do politicians keep pushing these race-baiting tactics and policies? And my answer to that would be it's like football.

You know, the politicians are going to keep running the rape reparations, the race- hustling tactics until, you know, the other side figures out how to stop it. And if the left continues to get more support for socialism and wealth redistribution from doing these types of tactics, then the more that they're going to do it. So the only thing that we can do as a society, I think, is present our elected officials with two simple questions. You know, at what cost and what evidence do you have? You know, even if you do that, you're not going to convince the politicians because they're going to buy as many votes as they can buy. We all know that. But the folks, the regular folks, I can't answer the question. You go to the Bronx and Brooklyn where I live and you see that it's totally out of control.

there's no public safety at all yet the folks continue to vote in the people who hurt them and i don't get it last word i think what's most important is when you set those questions as what the cost is what is the evidence you'll find very many policies uh the far left can push through those questions and you're right so much of this year uh have the society has had a mindset that just seems contrary to Dr. King, right, which is holding yourself to the content of your character. I have learned that making good choices, finding a job, treating others with kindness can go a long way in providing anyone a life at a spare. And we just have to get that word out there again. All right, Michael, thanks very much for helping us out. We appreciate it. If any of you can explain

to me, anybody, I mean, write to me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, why people in the African-American community, devastated for decades, for hundreds of years in some cases, continue to vote for people who hurt them. I don't think Michael was able to answer the question, and I'd love an answer if anybody has a good opinion on that. All right, Merrick Garland, everyone. Let's hear it from Merrick. He's going to be the next Attorney General. He's going to be the next guy. I mean, I can't believe it. I would never, ever vote from Mary Garland Fraternity General. I thank God he's not on the Supreme Court.

So why? Roll the tape. Just a fundamental question. Do you believe that illegal entry at America's border should remain a crime? Well, I haven't thought about that question. I just haven't thought about that question. I think, you know, the president has made clear that we are a country of, with the borders and with the concern about national security. I don't know of a proposal to decriminalize, but still make it unlawful to enter.

I just don't know the answer to that question. So you can't be Attorney General? You don't know the answer to that question? That's not a hard question. And does anybody believe for a second, then Mr. Garland has never thought about that? Anybody believe that? I thought about that. He's the Attorney General of the United States.

And he's like, he should have said, no. We got to have borders. We have to have laws. We have to know who's here. We have to supervise immigration because if you don't, you have chaos. That's what he should have said. But even though this man is about as unqualified as anybody I've ever seen

to the Attorney General position. All right? I mean, he's Eric Holder's bro, as they say. Grassley, Cornyn, Graham, Cruz, the big Republican senators all say, yeah, he's, yeah, okay. So they're going to give Biden this one. Not going to turn out well. Cancel Culture Update. Okay. So the chief of the Cherokee Nation. Now, if you read Killing Crazy Horse, you know,

we tell you about the Cherokees how they got hosed. But, you know, there's still a nation. So this man's name is Chuck Hoskin, Jr. He has written a letter to Jeep saying, you got to rename the Jeep Cherokee, which was first introduced in 1974. Chuck's a little late to the party on this one, 47 years ago. But no, no, cheek Cherokee, uh, no good. Here's what Chuck says. I think we're in a day and age in this country where it's time for both corporations and team sports to retire the use of Native American names, images, and mascots from their products, team jerseys, and sports in general. Okay. I would think that if you're a proud Cherokee, you would want the name to be known by everybody. I would. I love this story.

You ready for this? Bruce Springsteen, who we last left taking a breathalyzer test in Staten Island. He is now uniting with Barack Obama to do a podcast called Renegades Born in the USA. I bet. You're going to be eight episodes. There they are. They're the renegades. They don't they look like renegades. Oh, yeah.

So they're going to have, according to the PR, deep and revealing conversation. I assume they'll have to bring someone else in for that. That's not nice. Barack Obama's a brilliant man. And I don't say that word brilliant with any sarcasm. he's a brilliant man he is i mean to do what he did from where he came from you don't have to like him but he's got some kind of intellect that man bruce i'm not so sure however i'll watch i think if i can find it all right the first episode ran 53 minutes all right i don't know

whether it was deep and revealing i didn't see it could be viewed on spotify i don't know what that is, but I heard of it. So talk about deep and revealing. How about Madonna? Okay, this is another great one. So Madonna, working girl from Detroit, is worth about $850 million. She lives near me out in Eastern Long Island. Madonna got a huge track out there. Okay? And, you know, she earned her money. Material girl. Don't begrudge her a cent of it. However, Madonna says that she is oppressed in this country. Quote, the patriarchy continues to try to crush my neck with their heavy boots, cut off my life force, and take away my voice.

Even those who call themselves artists, you know who you are. Death to the patriarchy now and forever and quote, wow, somebody has their boot on Madonna's neck. Well, what about Madonna's 10 bodyguards? Do they have permitting that on, how did that work out? Now, maybe she's just being satirical. Maybe this is just a joke, right? The joke is on all of us, and Madonna's sitting up there, counting her $850 million,

going, yeah, I don't, I'll put this out. So this is, you know, so the patriarchy, I mean, that's white guys, I guess. I don't even know what that is, but I think it's white guys. So Madonna was born in South Africa or Thailand or Finland. Do you think she'd have $850 million? You think so? So the patriarchy had done pretty well by her. Again, she earned it, but she had the opportunity.

Tim Matheson. You know him? Otter in Animal House. So Tim, kind of a liberal guy. And a few days ago, January 22nd, he tweeted this about Melania Trump and Jill Biden. Quote, so wonderful to have a first lady with class and heart and can speak English. Whoa. Whoa. Tim got crushed. The patriarchy got him. So the same day, Matheson puts out another tweet. This morning I made a hasty and stupid joke about the former First Lady. It wasn't funny. It wasn't poor taste. It was regretful and humorless. And I apologize. Okay.

All right. So Tim Matheson, insulted Melania Trump, who is a very smart woman, by the way. Very smart. And now, if it were the other, way around if Tim were conservative he'd be canceled right wouldn't he be canceled I'm not canceling I'm accepting Tim's apology caveat I know him he played Ronald Reagan in my movie killing Reagan roll the tape we understand that at least three persons have been hit the president was hit by john warnick hinkley they have been

underestimating us all our lives i want to show them i can do this up and not without you not without your faith mr president this is the worst possible thing you could do right now last time i checked i am in control here all right all right timethison good apology to him we love you we're not canceling you and he's a really good actor i thought he did very very well as ronald regan in killing regan the movie all right pew we respect pew research we think it's good they say that social media users are more likely to believe nonsense and misinformation than people who don't hang out on social media all right the report found the people who use social platforms for news were less informed and more susceptible to believing

rumors and hoaxes. I know that's true. You wouldn't believe the mail I get. They, I saw it on social media. This day in history, one of the bloodiest battles ever for the United States of America. Seventy-six years ago, February 23rd, 1945, five Marines raised the flag, the American flag on Iwo Jima, Mount Sarabachi. So I read all about this in killing the rising sun. Yes, I have a lot of books. And this battle was incredible. 70,000 Marines invaded the island

because they needed the air strip there to attack Japan itself. And the Japanese wouldn't surrender. 18,000 Japanese fighters killed, 7,000 Marines killed, five days of fighting. Brutal. Incredible.

Iwo Jima, 76 years ago today. Okay, quick break. Back with some mail and a final thought about the progressive left may be on the verge of implosion. Right back. 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. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five-star reviews, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau.

You can trust American Hartford Gold, as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576, or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576, or text bill to 998899. All right, it's to do the mail. Always a fun part of the program. Wayne, concierge member, which means Wayne has direct access to me. Bill, the cancel culture thing is not just about denial of due process. It's about denial of the very concept of redemption.

It is the denial of a man's right to make mistakes and to change. And a woman's right, too. You've got to be politically correct, Wayne. Very good, Wayne. Very good. Janice Kid, Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Bill, I think the simplest way to end cancel culture by corporations and news media is boycott. I'm not a big boycott guy, but I am going to suggest to people who don't like the cancel culture

that those who do it, who push it, who embrace it, you don't do business with them. It's different from a boycott. I'm not organizing any boycotts. Okay? I'm just saying if this person's doing this, you make the call. You have the power, as we saw in San Francisco. That was the folks that turned that school board around. Kent, your analysis of canceled culture is very good, but how do we as Americans, and there are millions of us, counter cancel culture and biased media?

They are in control. Buy your dollars. That's how you do it. And that's why we're doing this campaign. Von McGraw, Waterbury, Connecticut, Bill, after listening to the no-spin news, it breaks my heart that our country could lose all its rights in a single generation. I serve my country in the late 1970s, so disappointed in what's happening. So am I.

But I think it's going to turn, and that's a final thought coming right up. Michael Noble of Vancouver, Canada. I unfortunately see exactly what is happening, Bill, and I disagree with you. and what you said about Gina Carano. She did not equate Nazis with the political climate in America. Disney is not the problem. Disney is the symptom of the problem. Well, I disagree on both fronts.

Gina Carano didn't do anything malicious. She should not have been canceled, should not have been fired. But you don't use the Nazi analogy to make a point about contemporary politics in America. It's just not valid. okay so she made a mistake there disney fired her in a fascistic way so disney in my opinion my humble opinion is the problem stephen if u.s olympic hockey team beat our ideological political rival today they would be called privileged white guys who are racist and white supremacist might be john concierge member thank you john watch some of merrick garland's confirmation or like a

say is, thank God, he's not on the Supreme Court. I agree 100%. That was the best thing Donald Trump did, the three Supreme Court appointees. Paul Worley, St. Louis. Come on, Bill, anyone with common sense will realize a trip to Cancun wasn't going to change the power problem in Texas. No, but leadership has got to be on the scenes in time of crisis. Charlie, Bill O. Yeah, the optics look bad for Ted Cruz, but tell me this. What the hell can a Senator do? shake hands, mingle with the proletariat, got to be on the scene. Got to be. Chris Dolofsky, Philadelphia, Bill Wire, left-wing media outlets like NBC attacking Governor

Cormo. He's a Democrat. That's usually a pass in the media. And I explained it, but I wanted to read your letter because you were on it, and your question prompted me to put the segment in tonight, Chris. Kyle Beatty, I've been listening to you for many years, Mr. O'Reilly. Thanks for delivering the news with clarity and no spin. I'm also a big fan of the killing books.

And on that note, if you pre-order killing the mob out May 4th, you get 50% off killing Crazy Horse. If you re-up your premium or concierge member, you get the books free. I mean that, that's a good deal. Might want to think about it. Okay, when writing to us, do not be a jack-and-a-pice. I love that word. J-A-C-K-A-N-A-P-E-S.

Jack-N-A-A-P-E-S. Don't be that. Back with a final thought in a moment. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post 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. Okay, final thought of the day, it is my opinion, and I may be absolutely wrong, that the far-left progressive movement is close to destroying itself. Three issues.

The first one is censorship. Censorship. Even the dimest among us, the dimest people on the planet in the USA know. The totalitarianism follows from censorship. You want to keep your freedom. You can't have censorship. You can't have social media telling you what you can and can't say. You can't, all right, number one.

Number two, destroying the energy industry, green New Deal. We're seeing what's happening, California, Texas, can't destroy it. You can simultaneously develop alternative energy. You can't destroy it. That's what the progressives want. And the third thing is immigration. Wait do you see what's going to happen. Now, tomorrow we're going to have an immigration story.

It's building now. But I'll give you one fact. In the Del Rio, Texas sector, all right? 172% increase in apprehensions from December to January, 172%. Joe Biden is sending a signal, come on, come on, come on. You're going to let everybody in, who wants asylum, that's everybody. And then seven years and now maybe their case will be heard, maybe they'll show up, probably won't. They'll be, they'll be here.

You'll be here. No COVID tests. Come on in. It's going to kill me. The economy, immigration, cancel. culture, censorship, all at the far left doorstep. Where do you see what's going to happen? See tomorrow.
