Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for January 25th, 2020, stand up for your country. So this is a very unusual broadcast tonight because we are going to bring you a number of stories you haven't heard about, but you should have heard about them. They're important to you. But the corporate media is so corrupt and lazy.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Lazy is getting to be big. And I got a final thought on it that I think you're going to enjoy. Journalists are lazy now, and I'll tell you why. Anyway, it's a busy news day, and there is an unsavory situation in Philadelphia. And I'm almost, if you've heard about this, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, please tell me where. because I'm almost positive. Nobody's heard about this, and that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So most people in Philadelphia area get ready for the big playoff game on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. However, on Tuesday evening, the Union League of Philadelphia
Starting point is 00:01:18 bestowed its gold medal, highest honor on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. That was a couple of days, Yesterday. Yesterday, okay? DeSantis flew up from Florida to get the medal. Now, what is the Union League? Well, it's a private club who's found in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the policies of Abraham Lincoln. So obviously, it's been around a long time, 1862. It's got more than 4,000 members. Previous gold medals went to James Mattis, the former Secretary of Defense, George W. Bush, Bush the Younger, and Bush the Elder. So it's a legitimate organization. Obviously, Leans Republican.
Starting point is 00:02:07 But when DeSantis was named the honoree, immediately the far-left cranks, the loons in Philadelphia, went wild. Roll the tape. Why you are promoting this individual who, in their philosophy, in their philosophy sees so many people, black and brown folks, LGBT and the rest folks, see them as second-class citizens. This is a disgrace.
Starting point is 00:02:40 It is wrong. It is a smack in the face to people of this city. Now, this is really interesting. So personal attacks on dissent by the far left cranks in Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a far-left town. It's like New York City. Okay, 44% black crime rate through the route, but they elect very, very progressive individuals to run the city, and that's why the city's a mess. And it is a mess. Everybody living in Philadelphia knows it's a mess. So the Sanders has done a pretty good job in Florida, comes in, and these people right away are
Starting point is 00:03:21 accusing of being a racist and a homophobic and everything else. This is a very important. This is a is a strategy now. This is an in-stone strategy. It wouldn't matter whether it would be DeSantis or any other high-profile Republican. These cranks would label those people bigots. Okay? That's what they're going to do from now on. Why? Because nobody calls them out. all right so they use the race card and the homophobic carb and all of that to diminish people on the republican side or the conservative side they do that primarily to keep the african-american voting block solid so it won't start to defect like the Hispanic american voting block many are defecting to the republican party so the race thing is used primarily to
Starting point is 00:04:18 keep blacks in line by the progressive movement. It's really despicable, but there was some exposure, some criticism on the local news in Philadelphia, and I was happy to see this against that, really. Whenever you're trying to come up with something, they always attack you as a racist person as a person who does not believe in the minority rights it's insane and it's dangerous okay it conjures up hatred so dissent is wants to be president we all know that he's gathering money he's visiting other states um he wants to be the republican nominee and it'll be interesting to see how that plays out against trump so right away the progressive thing is He's a bigot. He's a racist. Of course, Trump is a racist. O'Reilly is a racist. They did that to me
Starting point is 00:05:18 when I was working Fox News. Every day I'd be a racist. If I would even give stats and mention that African Americans are responsible for most of the murders in the USA on a proportionate basis, a percentage basis, then I'm a racist. Just for giving you honest information. Anybody, anybody that the far left doesn't like is a racist. And it's unchallenged. Nobody isn't challenging it saying, hey, this is horrible. It's un-American. It's an insult not only to the country but to the voters themselves.
Starting point is 00:06:00 All right. They don't know DeSantis. These people never met DeSantis. And again, Florida runs pretty well. Look, Florida runs a lot better in Pennsylvania. Okay. It does. as a state. Anyway, I wanted to bring you that story. Congratulations to Governor DeSantis for
Starting point is 00:06:21 the award that he got. That's the memo. Okay, President Biden, who is absolutely fine with all this racist stuff. Absolutely. Loves it. Does it himself. And the Martin Luther King's speech in Atlanta, that was horrible, what he did. All right, so he has nothing on his schedule. I mean, we do this every day. I don't want to be repetitive and boring, but he's got enough. He had lunch with Kamala. Okay, I hope it was delightful. Now, I'm supposed to talk about Biden tonight on News Nation on the Cuomo program at 8 o'clock. I haven't gotten confirmation. That's the subject, but it was talked about earlier this week that I would run down Biden, put him in historical context. So I hope that's still going to happen. Again, News Nation, 8 o'clock. You should
Starting point is 00:07:16 get it. It's widely distributed. And they tweet when Cuomo and I are debating, the Twitter thing goes crazy, I understand. So it's an interesting thing. Between about 8.15, I usually hit maybe a little earlier. That's what I'm on. All right, Lindsay Graham, you know, people like them, they don't like him, whatever. I think he's okay. But he has a good take on this document thing. Now, the document thing's totally out of control, and I'll address it. But it's such a big non-story. I mean, the FBI raid wasn't a non-story. That was an abuse of power on Maelago. That was horrible. But now with Pence saying, well, I just found this. And then Biden, Every day, we got new Biden stuff, and then Trump, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Here's what Graham says. I don't believe there were sinister motives with regards to the handling of classified information by President Biden, President Trump, or Vice President Pence. We have a classified information problem that needs to be fixed, unquote. So I agree. I don't see that there were sinister motives here. I don't believe that, look, Trump would never read documents in his, never, you know, they packed them up, they shipped them down in Florida. Biden never in a million years would read documents, ever, okay? And Pence is so buttoned down, he would read them, Pence, but he's such a straight guy that if he knew somebody packed up classified documents, he would have said no.
Starting point is 00:09:02 No. All right. Now, look, the hysteria surrounding this has gotten completely out of control because the corporate media don't know what to do. It's January and all of that's, you know, not a lot of big news stories except for mass shootings and weather. And so it's the same old stuff. So I'm going to deal with it in final thought. I'm going to tell you what the underpinnings of this is. is. All right, Texas and 19 other states are suing the Biden administration over migrant parole program. You know what that is? I didn't, I have to be refreshed on that. That's the program that allows people from Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela to come to the USA every month. 30,000 of them, I guess it's divided among the four countries. They just get visas to come here. All right, so the states, the states that are suing the Biden administration say, hey, you can't do that. It's Congress that does the immigration law, not you, the federal government, the executive branch. You can't do it.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So the states are all Republican states, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nebraska, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee. Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming. Not one Democrat state on this because they don't care about what the Constitution says. And certainly they don't want to limit migrants from coming here. The left wing, the Democratic Party, doesn't want to do it. Anyway, I'd be interesting to see where this goes, this lawsuit. I'm glad it was filed. I want to get some clarification. Probably go to the Supreme Court, but I think that they'll block it first. Federal judges will block the 30,000 from coming here in February. that's the next round. I think that'll happen. Mexico. So I told you it's the most dangerous
Starting point is 00:11:09 country on earth and it's doing tremendous damage to the United States right now much more damage than China or Russia are doing to us. Mexico is the worst. So you know it's out of control crime. Sixty-six thousand in 2021, dead or missing. Sixty-six thousand. In the USA, triple the population, 23,000. Anyway, Jose Gutierrez, Ohio, architect, and his fiancé Daniela Pichardo went missing Christmas Eve, and they just found them yesterday. All shot up. They're dead. All right. So the U.S. State Department says a place where they were, Zocatakis, Mexico is a no-travel zone because of the cartel, but the whole country of Mexico is a no travel zone, in my opinion. I will never go there.
Starting point is 00:12:06 And if you go there, don't go off the hotel property. I mean, it is particularly in a place like Acapulco, where the whole town is owned by the cartel. And you've got Cancun problems, too, although Cancun, the town is separate from the resorts. But if you think you're going to ride around Mexico in a rental car, you're out of your bleeding mind okay that is a dangerous dangerous place now uh california public defender orange county south of l a elli elliott blair he's dead all right he went down to bahar rosarito beach and he's dead and his family says he was killed but the mexican attorney general says he was drunk and he fell off a balcony his body's still in mexico all right and this happened uh what a
Starting point is 00:12:58 A week ago, January 14th. So that's 11 days ago. Can't get his body out of there? Why? Because they're sanitizing the body. If there's foul play signs, they're getting them out of there. That's why. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce 1.

You can and find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Awful. State of Connecticut is considering legislation that would legalize voting for undocumented immigrants. So if you sneak into the country illegally and you wind up in Connecticut, then you can vote on everything.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Local, state, everything. Can't vote in presidential, but of course, they would. and there are an estimated 250,000 undocumented in Connecticut. This will not pass. I can't imagine the governor signing it in Connecticut or even the legislation passing it. But we'll track it for you. But this is a far-left cook, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:15 who introduced that in the legislation. Ukraine. So they're going to get 31 Abrams tanks from the USA and Germany folded. They're going to give Ukraine. Ukraine, leopard tanks, 14 of them. Now, tanks in Ukraine in that theater, they're used mostly defensively, but they can, obviously, push Russian infantry back. And this is a big win for Ukraine. So I was on Hannity today. Hannity is a little skeptical about this. We had a difference
Starting point is 00:15:47 of opinion. I'm foreign. And I explained that, look, this is a downgrade of Putin. It's all about Putin. Given the tanks of Ukraine, it's not about Ukraine, okay, for the USA. It's about getting Putin out. And he's right here. So that's why we're doing this. So it's a very interesting debate that Hannity and I had on his radio program. We have it posted on bill o'Reilly.com. And, you know, it's extensive. So we disagree on, you know, I want Putin out And I know, I know that's what all of this is about. Putin, get him out. Here's what Biden said.
Starting point is 00:16:31 The United States has worked in lockstep with our allies and partners around the world to make sure the Ukrainian people are in the strongest possible position to defend their nation, their families, and against the truly brutal aggression of Russia. Okay, each tank, Abrams tank costs $9 million. dollars. Okay, so you can do the math. That's almost 300 million. Again, on top of everything else we sent over to Ukraine, there's a lot of money. But if we can get Putin out of there, it's worth it. All right, the doomsday clock. You know what the doomsday clock is? This is fascinating. All right. So in 1945, after the atomic bomb was developed,
Starting point is 00:17:14 Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, and other scientists who worked on a Manhattan project, Adam Baum, and all this is in killing the rising sun, they started the doomsday clock, all right, where this is how long the earth has to exist before man destroys it. So, tithets have moved the doomsday clock forward because of Ukraine, Putin and nukes, to 90 seconds to midnight. Whoa, that's close. The most it's ever been away from midnight, it's 17 minutes following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 91.
Starting point is 00:18:00 But now it's 90 seconds, because crazy Putin, he could do anything, right? I don't believe that the Russian military would allow him to use nukes, but that's just my opinion. All right, media, Washington Post, NBC News, two very progressive news agencies, both laying people off. About 50 positions are being closed up in the Washington Post newsroom. That's a lot. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Two dozen people fired, the others not being filled. NBC News laid off 75 people this month. as a lot. Now, the reason is that half the country, maybe more, don't trust the Washington Post and NBC News. NBC News is killing itself with MSNBC. I mean, Fox is a separate entity of its own, of its own. But NBC's got a lot of different properties, the Today Show, the Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, all of that. NBC has gone so far left that conservatives don't want to watch it, any of it, any of it. And that's why NBC News is getting hammered.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It's no longer number one nightly newscast, ABC beats it, and it's declining because more than a half the country says, I'm going to watch that. It's not fair. It pushes progressive stuff, exactly what's happening. these people are never going to learn cnn is now almost off the chart people don't watch cnn it's almost off the chart okay mike pompeo former secretary of state will be here one week he's got a new book out uh it's called never given inch fighting for the america i love um it's got a whole bunch of controversial stuff we're going to have a very good uh q and a with uh
Starting point is 00:20:06 mr pompeo anyway he named some journalists who he believes are not, I don't know. I don't want to use the word honest, but hurting the country. All right, number one, Chris Wallace. So Secretary Pompeo said Wallace often tried to drive a wedge between him and Trump. All right. So when Pompeo went on Fox News Sunday, that's what Wallace tried to do. Andrea Mitchell, now she's on MSNBC and she's a FAR.
Starting point is 00:20:40 far, far left. Pompeo said she tried to bait him to criticize Trump, Bob Woodward. Now, I have my problems with Woodward because he made a tremendous amount of money just hammering Trump. You know, I've always had a pretty respectful relationship with Bob, but what he did to Trump for money, I just didn't respect it. And Pompeo backs it up. He said, I did my best to comply with Donald Trump's direction that I talked to Woodward.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You know, Trump called Pompeii and said, talk to the guy. I can't understand, and I did ask Trump this in the history shows. Why would you do talk to Woodward? He's going to hatchet you. Okay, that's what he's getting paid to do. When you sign a book contract, you have to tell the publisher what's going to be in the book. And it can't be Trump's good. The publisher doesn't want that.
Starting point is 00:21:38 So anyway, Pompeo talked to Woodward for 15 minutes, Pompeo says, and he gave nothing. Jim Acosta, we all know him, Bill Crystal, you know, these are people who hate Trump, and Pompeo says, were very unfair. Finally, Christian Amunpur, always progressive, always on the left-wing side of the issue. so I thought you'd find that amusing. All of those people are named in his book. Again, Pompeo will be here one week from today. So I'm going over the internet sites, new sites this morning, as I usually do, and I see something from A&W root beer. Now, I don't drink soda anymore, but at one time I really liked root beer.
Starting point is 00:22:33 and I drank A&W. So they have a bear, Rudy the Bear, that's their advertising person. So I see a report on the Internet that says they're going to put pants on Rudy the Bear. And I just rolled my eyes. I believe the report. I believed it. Now, if I can be suckered, you can imagine what everybody else. So my producer is smarter than me, and she says, I don't know about it.
Starting point is 00:23:08 It turns out it was a joke, that A&W is shrewd enough, put that out, knowing the Internet just publish it, okay? Get all the publicity free and get people riled. Now, I wasn't riled up. I just go, bears don't wear pants. But bears don't wear shirts either, and Rudy has a shirt. So anyway, it was a fake, but I'm sure. people got riled. Now, this comes off the M&M's thing, which I totally ignored because I know what this is. This is a fabricated story that means nothing but gets Mars chocolates, big publicity.
Starting point is 00:23:50 So the M&M's thing was that they're getting doing away with all these polarizing M&Ms advertising mascots, who I don't care about at all. I don't eat M&Ms because it's too much shirt. burger, but what's wrong with them? I don't know. Are they going to put somebody in heels? I forget it. I knew it was bogus. But do you know, it's publicity M&M's got from this? So they got a new ad going on in the Super Bowl, and I think it's not with them. They got it. They hired, what's her name? The Saturday Night Live woman, tell me am I here where her name is. She's very funny.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Maya Rudolph. Very funny. I think the most, of all the females, I don't know. There are a couple of really good ones. But Amaya is the new spokesperson for M&Ms. Now, all of this commercial stuff and politically correct stuff generates publicity for the product. But you can get hurt going into this political arena. So joining us now from Montgomery, Alabama,
Starting point is 00:25:01 is Dr. Allen Mendenhall. He's associate dean of the Sorrell College of Business at Troy University, and, you know, he knows this world. So if you were a CEO of any major corporation, how would you handle, you know, the social media trumped up controversies? You stay away, you embrace it like A&W root beer. What do you do? Well, I think actually one of the big problems is that these boards of directs, directors are getting pressure from asset management firms and other institutional investors that are actually pushing corporations to the left. And a lot of CEOs are just at companies
Starting point is 00:25:46 for a short amount of time. So say you know you're just going in there for four or five years and you're going to be out looking for the next thing. Well, you can make all kinds of decisions that actually aren't that profitable for your company. In fact, the entire shift from shareholder primacy to the stakeholder model is predicated on this idea that shareholders, maximizing profits for shareholders is an old-fashioned way of doing business and that we need to redefine business to account for the interest of all kinds of stakeholders. Well, stakeholders is a vague term that can be defined in any way. So a CEO could come in and say, look, we need to do X, Y, and Z because all these
Starting point is 00:26:26 stakeholders may be affected by climate change or some sort of environmental issue. And then you can institute policies and procedures that may make yourself more palatable to the media that may make your company look suitably leftist. But that's what happened at Disney, right? That's what Disney did. Oh, it's happened so many times. And in fact, the most recent. That's the poster boy for a lesson at Troy University. I mean, you got Disney, which markets to every American who has children. and then all of a sudden it's pushing a very controversial public school issue about indoctrinating children into subjects they can't possibly understand. Disney says that's good. That's the don't say gay thing. And in doing so, Disney harmed its brand beyond redemption, for at least in the short term,
Starting point is 00:27:24 and they got Chepik, the CEO, fired for doing it. But you would think that if Chabee, was a good businessman. He would know just what you stated, Dean, that, hey, if you're going to take a political stance, you're going to alienate somebody, right? That's exactly right. And you'll find that you have to imagine this situation. Let's just say half of America is conservative and half of America is on the political left or progressive. Well, you would know that waiting into politics is going to alienate a certain number of people, a certain fraction of the U.S. population. Well, why would any companies do this? Well, it's because we're starting to have financial and institutional incentives that are trying to push companies to the left.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And my biggest example of that is just this ESG movement, the environmental, social, and governance movement, which of course can mean two things. In one sense, it's just a framework or strategy that individual corporations undertake internally. But more broadly, it is the non-financial standards metrics and factors that asset management firms, financial institutions, and institutional investors consider when they allocate capital or assess risk. Now, these factors are pushing companies to the left. And you see institutional investors, the big three are Black Rock State Street and Vanguard. They hold over 20% of the equity of S&P 500 companies. And now we have, you know, Trading is very different.
Starting point is 00:28:59 You know, 100 years ago, buying stocks and things like that was just becoming widespread. It was only in the 80s and 90s that we started having 401Ks and those types of things. Now, institutional investors have gotten huge. They hold around 80%. So institutional investors that buy a lot of stock, okay? Yes. And their funds. They are telling CEOs, hey, you better embrace climate change or we're not going to buy your stock?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Well, here's what happened just yesterday, Bill. Just yesterday, Newsmax was yanked from DirecTV. So AT&T owns roughly 70% of the shares of DirecTV. But you have a small hedge fund that is an activist investor. They're called activist investors. And their job is to go out and buy as many shares in publicly traded companies as they can and deliberately push these companies politically to the left. By threats?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Is that how that? they push him by threatening them? By saying we're going to dump your stock unless you dump newsmax? That's what's happening? They have shareholder proposals that they issue. They write reports.
Starting point is 00:30:11 They go to the media. And they exercise their proxy voting power. So all these thousands and thousands of beneficiaries of these funds, they're the intermediaries. And then those people, you know, there's actually a breach of fiduciary duty that's going on.
Starting point is 00:30:27 And they're manipulating the markets. They're manipulating the markets for political gain. I mean, that should be an SEC concern, Securities and Exchange Commission. In fact, you know, the SEC is actually because of this, considering some proposed regulations that would force companies to disclose ESG factors. But we know that right now, the way these investments are being done, they violate federal case precedent, they violate Delaware law where a lot of these companies are incorporated.
Starting point is 00:30:57 which places a huge emphasis on shareholder primacy. And they violate the Employment Retirement Income Security Act, ERISA, because a lot of this money that's being invested comes from state pension money. Well, it's got to be, they've got to litigate it then. And I know this Newsmax thing is in Congress now. We'll see how it goes. Dean, very enlightening.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Thank you very much for helping us out. We appreciate it. Thanks, Bill. Thanks for having me on. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about,
Starting point is 00:31:33 the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, smart life. Task rabbit.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Okay, so if you like me and you can't do anything in the house, fix anything, I can't paint because I painted during college, but I can't do anything else. So you're looking around all the time for people who can help you when stuff goes south. Task rabbit is the place. Okay, so it's a website as app. features, whatever that means. And you can sign up to become a tasker, 25 bucks. And then it's free from then on, I guess, until you die. And they have in your area, you put your zip code in, all right, people who will fix your stuff. Now, I like this on twofolds. It makes it easier
Starting point is 00:32:49 for you to call somebody up and say, hey, how much you're going to charge me to fix this? The average is $35 an hour, so TaskRabbit is pretty up front about it, okay? And if you can fix stuff, you can get on TaskRabbit in your area, so people will know you can fix stuff if you need extra money. Okay, so it's good for the consumer and for the fixer. Task Rabbit, Smart Life. Stay in history, January 25th, 1961, 62 years ago. The first televised presidential press conference was held.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Roll the tape. Third, I'm happy to be able to announce that Captain Freeman B. Olmstead and Captain John R. McCone, members of the crew of the United States Air Force RB-47 aircraft, who have been detained by Soviet authorities since July 1st, 1960, have been released by the Soviet government and are now on route to the United States. The United States government is gratified by this decision of the Soviet Union. Okay, so that started the president. Now, Kennedy did a lot of them. One every 16 days,
Starting point is 00:34:08 because he was good and the media liked him and he wasn't going to make. Biden, two years, is at 22 news conferences. That's 11 a year. And I think that number is high. This comes from the American presidency project. I think that's a high number. I think they're taking, you know, when he's sitting there with the president of Morocco and he answers a couple of questions. Because formal news conferences on Biden, I don't remember 22 of them. Okay. But anyway, Biden doesn't do a lot of them. And Kennedy did. And the first one was 62 years ago today. All right, good lively mail segment. And a final thought on this document thing that's got everybody up and crazy about it. I'm going to try to put it in some kind of perspective right back.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Let's go to the mail, Charles, on the message board. If you sign up for concierger premium membership on bill o'Reilly.com, we have message boards where you can talk to each other. Because we have, you know, hundreds of thousands of people involved with us. And it's very, It's a fun thing. And we do supervise it. No, no obscenities, no defamation. No, not a lot. All right, so Charles is trying all gun crimes in federal court makes perfect sense. Many local jurisdictions simply do not enforce the law and a lax of protecting public.
