Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, November 21st, 2022, stand up for your country. I got a little cold here. I'm going to get into that in a smart life segment tonight. I think you'll find it amusing how I actually got this cold. So I haven't had one in 10 years. I thought I had. had the magic formula, too. But we have a lot to tell you about politically tonight, things that you have not heard. Number one, Friday. Whenever the federal government announces something on Friday, it means they really don't want a wide distribution. So Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, comes out last Friday, and says he's appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Donald

Trump on two things, January 6th and the classified documents that showed up in Ma A Lago. Okay, I don't know why they had to release that on a Friday, late Friday, but got enough attention you know about it, I'm sure. And there's a lot more to this, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. First of all, the special prosecutor is a man named Jack Smith. He is currently working in the Hague and the Netherlands, investigating war criminals overseas. I don't know much about him. Conservatives are giving them a hard time about Lois Lerner, things like that. I don't know.

I'll find out, but I, you know, I assume this guy is competent. I assume he's a John Durham type, but I don't know. But anyway, he's in charge, right? Now, so Garland does this knowing that there are going to be unintended consequences. So Garland doesn't want to be part of those, but he is. So he could have kept the case in January 6th, in particular, all the January 6th committee had to do his hand over what they have to Garland, and then FBI goes through it and says, hey, is there anything indictable? That's all he had to do.

But he didn't. Remember, the January 6th Committee in the House operated for 18 months. 18 months. Leaked everything. Convicted, condemned Donald Trump. So now we want. We need another year on top of that. I don't know why. The Maulago documents thing, if you got something, it's not hard. Show the American people what the documents are that Trump took and why they are important enough to makes such a big deal out of it. That should take two minutes. FBI knows what they took. Garland knows what they have. No, we got to have another special prosecutor and another $30 million investigation. And, oh, yeah, we got to do it.

Makes no sense at all. But here's the kicker. And I think Merrick Garland is not smart enough to understand what he did. in order to investigate Donald Trump's actions on 4 January 6th that led to the riot at the Capitol, okay, you have to bring in the FBI because it's now been established by none other than the New York Times and other press that at least eight informants were in D.C. as part of that mob. Okay? So Christopher Ray, the director of the FBI, is asked about this on November 15th by Congressman Clay Higgins. Go.

Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6th prior to the doors being open? Again, I had to be very careful. It should be a no. Can you not tell the American people? No. We did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol. The gentleman's time has expired. You should not read anything into my decision not to share information. Director Ray. He's right.

I mean, the Congress is right. If he's no, you'd say no. But it isn't no. So now, Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, has to get into that. Does Garland understand that if it's shown, that if evidence says the FBI knew about this incursion before it happened and didn't tell anybody or actually encouraged it, that blows up the Justice Department, blows up the whole department. So, yeah, Donald Trump, you can investigate them. We all know the story. He acted far too

slowly to condemn the riot. There's no doubt that's true. Is that a crime? No. And it's on the record the day before he had a meeting with the Pentagon that he recommended bringing the National Guard. That creates reasonable doubt on his attentions on January 6th. Those are in stone those two things. They're not debatable issues. But the FBI being involved in the actual mob with the actual mob.

That's new. And Ray would not say. And there's no reason on earth for him. If they didn't have, if, yep, I didn't have anybody there, he goes, no, we didn't have anybody there. Doesn't compromise anything, does it? What does it compromise? No, we didn't have anybody there? Doesn't compromise anything.

So you got to assume based on that and the reportage on other press people, they did have people than the FBI. So now those people are going to have to be part of the investigation into Trump. It have to be. Did you tell the Trump administration, anybody that this could happen beforehand? Those are the questions that have to be asked in the FBI. I'm telling you, Garland made a huge mistake, enormous mistake by outcropping this. He didn't have to do it. He did it. And now the Democratic apparatus, the Biden administration, is in trouble.

And that's not the worst thing. So the backlash from this Trump move is going to now encourage House Republicans to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter. So you're going to have dueling investigations. You're going to have the Justice Department on Trump. You're going to have the House committees on Joe and Hunter. And you know there's no presumption of innocence in this country. So you hate Trump, you think he's guilty. You hate Biden.

You think he's guilty. So leaks will be every day. Leaks from the committees in the House, leaks from the special prosecutors' investigation. Every day. We're going to get leak, leak, leak, leak, leak, dueling leaks. Now, the Biden administration will collapse, and I use that word literally, if the House committee can find that Hunter Biden gave money to his father while Joe Biden was vice president.

If that can be established, that collapses the entire administration. Because Joe Biden did not put that money on his tax return. That's a felony. It's a felony. You can only give $12,000 to someone else as a gift without a tax penalty. So I'm telling you, this story is enormous. The implications are through the roof on both sides. It's going to be an interesting year.

and it will affect the 2024 election who runs all of that. But we're going to cover this fairly. We do give presumption of innocence to both Trump and Biden. That's what we give. And if they have evidence, we'll present it to you, and I will give you my opinion whether it's solid or not. Oh, my God. When I saw that Friday, I went,

Merrick Garland's crazy. He has now lost control of the entire process. At least if he were in charge of the investigation himself, he could come to some kind of rational conclusion. He can't now. All right, we have a great guest today, by the way. Hang tough. I got one more segment before we get to him.

So five house races haven't been called yet. Two weeks. This is unbelievable. Four in California. California won in Alaska. Alaska, none am going to bother with. They can't count their votes in Alaska. Cannot do it. All right. Second, least populated state in the Union next to Wyoming, they can't count their votes. They got some arcane system. So there will be a Democratic congresswoman from Alaska. That will happen because two Republicans ran against her and they split the vote. But race in California, 20, 2nd Congressional District, David Valdeo, 53% Republican, Rudy Salas, 47%, 86% of the vote counted. So they still haven't, after two weeks, counted 14% of the vote. Anyway, Valdeo is well ahead.

So you put that in the Republican side. Third congressional district in California, Kevin Kiley, Republican, way ahead of Kermit Jones. 71% counted. Are you kidding me? 71% after two weeks? What do you have fifth graders doing this? It's such a scandal. 13th California congressional district. This is close. Duarte, the Republican, 50.3% Adam Gray, the Democrat 49.6, 95% of the total voters. So you got to figure that Duarte will win. So that's three seats. that go to the Republicans. And the final one is Colorado, where Lauren Bobert, the flamethrower, won by a little bit, with 99% of the vote counted.

And Adam Frisch, the Democrat, has conceded to Lauren. So it's another one, so that adds up to 222 for the Republicans, more than enough to control the House, as you know. So let's bring in a guy who probably knows Congress better than any human being on a planet. Senator Joseph Lieberman, obviously served in Connecticut. And how long were you in the Senate? I should have it here on my sheet, but I do not. How long?

I vote 24 years. Okay. And that's a scolding of my staff, which is usually good, but they should have that here. So let's go with the scandal of the election. election, then we'll go into Merrick Garland first. Shouldn't there be federal oversight marshals or somebody sent into these districts who will not count the vote? Well, there ought to be something. I mean, every time I see it in the papers on TV, I'm shocked that they're still counting votes. I guess it's because they're paper ballots in

California. And Alaska, I know they have this, as you said, arcane ranked voting system, as complicated, but I mean, this is the 21st century. It just doesn't make sense that it takes two weeks. You could, I'm not sure what you can do, but it's worth thinking about because there definitely are different ways in which the federal government, through legislation, has entered the area of state elections, particularly for Congress, after all, it's the national legislature, and could set some standards about what you do when you get. get to this point. Well, they can provide, you know, look, you, you have been around long enough to know that in

some districts in the South, they were disenfranchising African American voters. Certain counties were, we're doing all kinds of things. The federal overseers went in, okay, to those counties and arrested people. Right. And the power of the federal government is to oversee the vote counts. in the individual states, because the states, according to the Constitution, have the power to run the election and say, why they want. But if they're crooked or incompetent, then the feds have to go in.

Yeah, and look, the problem here is we're obviously operating at a time in our history where a lot of people don't trust the counting of votes. So the longer you go, the more people are going to say, what's going on out there? That's right. It's more time for playing around with the results. And the comparison to the old segregation of the South, unfortunately, is apt. So this is unaccepted bottom line. And, you know, look, when the House is so close, and this means everything, this is everything now, between the Democratic and Republican parties.

And just as an aside, there's going to be real trouble in Maricopa County, Arizona, which is another troubled state over the Kerry Lake thing. but I'm going to put that aside for now. All right, let's get to the Merrick Garland announcement. Do you think my analysis has any merit? Your analysis, as always, or usually always, was thought-provoking. So I will tell you, Merrick Garland was not thinking at all. I know him a little bit. I don't know what as you are thinking now.

He's thinking, I got two choices I can make here. I got these two really intensely political topics to investigate because they came to my office. I can either drop them and say there's no evidence to proceed with prosecution or I've got to get them to somebody else. Because after all, I'm investigating not only the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, but now a declared candidate for re-election. So I can't do it without people saying I'm politically biased. So there you go to Jack Smith, who I don't know either, but he seems like he's a professional. I give him two pieces of unsolicited advice. One is you're compared, I know John Durham and Durham very well because he's from Connecticut

and a great prosecutor, a real pro, not a politician at all. He did one thing that was really important that others had not done that position. He laid low. He didn't talk to the press at all, which is what. Smith ought to do. The second is that unlike previous independent councils like Lawrence Walsh, Iran-Contra, Kent Star Clinton, which went on so long that they cost enormous amounts of money. Jack Smith ought to get this done as quickly as he can in large part because of what you said, Bill. These files are full of the result of investigations that have already gone on

in Congress and other prosecutor's office. So be quiet and act quickly, and that's the best thing you can do. Quickly and honestly. Because, look, there's already a suspicion about Merrick Garland because Hunter Biden's case has been going on for more than two years. And it sits in Delaware with the federal prosecutor not doing anything. He's amassed it. So either charge or not charge. Don't just sit there with nothing. And so you talk about people not having any faith in the system, Senator. My God, it doesn't take that long. It's a tax beef primarily against Hunter Biden. All right. That's what it is. It doesn't take two years. And now the grand jury is not even sitting anymore. All of that stuff remains in Wilmington, Delaware. So where's Merrick Garland

on that? Apparently nowhere that I've heard and I haven't followed it real closely but hey this is this likely I mean definite investigation of the Hunter Biden case

by the next Congress is proof that even though the outcome in the House was much less of a Republican way than people were predicting there are big changes that are going to occur as a result of the margin,

which looks like, as you said, though, it's going to be about 222 to 213. It could have been a one voter, two-voter margin. The speaker controls the agenda. Republicans are in charge of the committees. The investigation of Hunter Biden wouldn't have happened if the Democrats control the House. Absolutely not. But now it's on steroids because of what Garland did. to Trump because Jordan and all those guys who are going to spearhead this are going,

okay, you're going after our guy. We're going to go after your guy. But even worse is the FBI component. I don't think Garley even thought about it. Because in the January 6th investigation, Smith has got to look into the FBI's conduct. Why didn't the FBI, if they had eight undercovers tell Pelosi or Muriel Bowser, the mayor of D.C. or the White House what the deuce was going to happen. That's huge. Yeah, I assume as you do that the fact that a director, FBI Director Ray didn't answer the question was because the answer was yes. I don't particularly mind it. Frankly, if there have been a left-wing Antiva push into the Capitol, I would like to feel there were some law enforcement people inside there.

But it's a very relevant question for Jack Smith. And we ought to know the answer to it. That's right. Some people will not. And none of this is good for the country, by the way, because it just divides people like crazy for the next year. As I said, we're just going to hear it leak and leak and leak and nick. You got a sitting president who, if it's true,

that his son gave him money, he's done. That whole thing collapses. And if they can prove that Trump did something that we're not aware of, because the January 6th Committee put out everything they have, I didn't see any crime there, misjudgment, absolutely. So the country is going to be in turmoil for the next year over these things. Last word. I agree.

I mean, look, in the best of all worlds, we wouldn't be going through this. And there is a tip for tat quality to this that never seems to end at this phase of American history because we're always thinking about the next election. It's not instead of the next generation, what's good for the country. I'm giving unsolicited advice I say to Jim Jordan, you're going to do this investigation. Try to make it as factual and respectable as you can because if it's just, as you use the term flame throwing, If it's just about somebody else, if it's just flame throwing, it's not going to have credibility and it's just going to divide the country more. There's a reasonable question to investigate here.

Incidentally, as compared to the June 6th Commission, although they had Cheney and Kinsliger on it, assuming that the Judiciary Committee of the House conducts the investigation, there will be Democrats on that committee. So in a way, it's not going to be bipartisan, but there will be bipartisan involvement in it. Hopefully they can figure out a way to work together and think about what the law requires and what's good for the country. Yes, and you're absolutely right. It has to be fact-based. It can't be just bomb throwing and all of that. Hey, Senator, I want you to have a happy Thanksgiving with your family, and you're really kind to help us out, and I really appreciate it.

I really enjoy being with you. Let me say about your poll that I had it last week, and praise the Lord, it does get better. Right now, I'm mad at the Lord, but I'm going to praise them soon, and then it'll get better. Give them a second, shit. All right, Senator, thanks again. I appreciate it. Thank you. We will. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about.

The juicy details in the world's of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy shit. show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just one footnote, I was on a Hannity radio program today because he's off on Wednesday and so am I. We did talk about some of these issues. You might want to check that out on Bill O'Reilly.com. That's where we live. in Biden's schedule today. He pardoned the national Thanksgiving turkey at 11.15 a.m.

And then he went to North Carolina, Cherry Point, to have early Thanksgiving with some Marines. Those are good things. Yesterday, he celebrated his 80th birthday in a White House with a brunch. It was not an early bird special. It was a brunch. Oldest president by far. Reagan got out at 77. He was second oldest. And then Joe Biden and Jill go to Nantucket on Tuesday, November 22nd, for a long Thanksgiving weekend. Now, why would they go to Nantucket?

It's a beautiful island, but it's chilly there. The wind whipping off the Atlantic and the Nantucket Sound. and then across the next. So they get a big house. Biden paid for it. It's a gift. It's one of his donors, whatever. And every Democratic swell in New England goes to Nantucket. Now, I was going to say this would be a good time for DeSantis to send some migrants up there, but that would be cruel. I don't want that to happen. But that's why he's going. So Joe Biden, Thanksgiving, Nantucket, beautiful place and probably won't come out much very chilly thanks evening travel for the folks you i'm not going anywhere so yesterday jet blue my favorite airline delayed 52% of its flights

yesterday okay 52% oh there was a snowstorm in buffalo so that i'm sure that oh no even though you're going to Savannah, Georgia, showing them up like to, slow it down. Anyway, it's going to be hell. So bookings, people know it. Bookings for Thanksgiving air traveler down 7% from the same point in 2019. We don't even count COVID. But the revenue for the airlines is up 3% because they're charging about $100 more for the average domestic ticket. So that's that. Okay, I got a lot of letters on cryptocurrency. I mean, I dismissed it because it's stupid. And I'll prove it in a moment. But I'm going to just run it down for you fast. So there's a guy named Sam Bankman-Fried sets up a company in the Bahamas. Bahamas has no oversight at all on anything. And you can do

it. If you have money, you can do what you want in the Bahamas. So this guy starts a cryptocurrency Exchange, FTX, and people invest in it, all right? And 1.45 billion and $3 billion, that's almost $5 billion, money flows into this guy's pocket, or in the Bahamas. One million people and businesses, including hedge funds, investigated in this FTX cryptocurrency thing. Well, they're all wiped out. This guy was a grifter, okay? And so he'll get charged. He has to get charged. The U.S. government will put pressure on the Bahamians to pick them up. But before it collapsed, Fried and his merry men donated $70 million to the Democrats for the midterm elections, 70 second only to Soros. So a lot of the money that investors will never see,

went to the Democrats. Okay, so this guy is he's going to jail probably for the rest of his life because this scam. Now, why didn't I follow this story? Because I told you back on February 23rd of this year, what would happen? Go. If you follow my lead, you will not get scammed. over the phone. Ever. You want to do business with me? You send me something in the mail so I can see it. I can see the address. I can see the spelling of your name. If you do business on the internet, if you do crypto, if you do any of this stuff, you are exposing yourself to fraud. So I just dismissed it. And I told my brokers, by the way, nothing close.

I don't want anything in there ever. Bitcoin, the same thing. Not any of that ever. So they know. So I kind of like, okay, well, you guys got what you deserve. That's kind of cruel. I understand people make mistakes, but please listen to me. Oh, yeah.

Disney fires Bob Chapik. Here's another one. Okay. Okay, so Cheapbook, the CEO, destroys the Disney Corporation about a year, took them, and he destroys it. Roll it, this is what I said on June 23rd of this year ago. I've never seen a corporation put itself at such a great risk in my entire life. This is just so insane. You don't think there's going to be a backlash against you, Disney, for telling parents they have no right to monitor what their five, six, and seven-year-olds here,

school about gender identity. Is that what you're telling me, Disney? So, the Disney CEO, Bob Chappick, who's responsible for this mess, politically correct, woke Bob Chepik. Hey, Bob, I wouldn't be like decorating your office with stuff. I kind of be moving my stuff out very quietly because you're toast. You're gone. Not a matter of if. It's wet. And that's why I think you listen and watch me because it's not that I'm a genius. It's just that this is the world.

When Shepak threw in with the woke fanatics, it was over. I said quite, I'm not doing business with him. All right? I'm not. My whole thing is protecting the kids. So Iger, who's woke, Robert Iger, comes back as Disney's CEO. Chapic cost Disney, what, about $4 billion?

Stock's down 40% since he took over. $4 billion in losses, all of that. Now, can they restore the name, the brand? Yeah, because kids love Disney. And I'll watch, Iger. You know, if they keep doing this woke stuff, I'll report it. But again, that's why you watch and listen to the news. no spend news and go to bill o'reilly.com because we are right this year i've been right 90% of the

time nobody has that record because all of my projections and analysis are fact-based and i know the world i know this country all right smart life so i got a cold now i haven't had a cold in 10 years because i built my immune system up to ward off infections So I drink Japanese tea, Cho Wa, C-H-O-W-A, which is a powerful stimulator of the immune system, and I cut out the sugar, most of the sugar. The sugar suppresses your immune system. So does tobacco, so does alcohol, so do narcotics, all of that. They suppress your immune system.

The more, the stronger your immune system is, the longer you will live. Now, some things, immune system can't deal with like a heart attack or, you know, cancer. But even in cancer, strong immune system gives you more of a fighting chance. So anyway, last Thursday I got this call. I was shocked. I said, what is this? All right? And annoyed.

Because I got a whole bunch of other medical stuff I'm dealing with. But that's why I got it. That's not serious. I'm okay. But because my body is fighting off other things, the immune system went down. And boom, I got the gold. First one in 10 years. My medicine cabinet is like I have all this anti-cold stuff from 11 years ago.

I didn't take it. I just tossing blood new stuff. And I don't like taking a lot of that anyway. But at night, you got to breathe. But anyway, I'm not whining. smart life segment is to encourage you to build up your immune system very important for quality of life very important this will be gone a couple of days and i hope all right this day in history i love this story november 21st 91 91 years ago the most successful monster movie ever

made was released. Go. To me, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, in the name of God. Now I know what it feels like to be God. Ah, he wants to be God. Anyway, the monster runs around and does what monsters do, okay? But the backstory is amazing. Frankenstein was a book during in 1818 by a 20-year-old named Mary Shelley in Switzerland. Big bestseller, people loved it.

But then it sat there, nothing happened until Universal Studios was almost bankrupt. In 1930, they made a movie called Dracula, and it made a lot of money. The next year, they made Frankenstein. They needed another monster movie, and so they grabbed Shelley's book. Shelly Long Dead, they had a pair of state. But the key was Boris Karloff, the English actor, who played. the monster, the monster, okay? Boris is great.

And Boris made a bloody fortune in all the sequels, a bride of Frankenstein, and I don't know, was he in that? I mean, son of Frankenstein, Frankenstein goes to the post office, whatever it was. Boris was in it. And so, that was 91 years ago. I remember my mother telling me how scared she was when she went to see that in the theaters. All right, I got a good mail segment and a final. thought on Thanksgiving. Back in a moment.

Let's go to the mail. We got Don Crawford in Happy Valley, Oregon. Bill, it is my impression that most, if not all, of the elections with delayed counts, somebody in common, they were coming, they were counting mail-in ballots after election day. Didn't all of these results turn toward the progressive candidates? Yes. Most of the votes that are counted after election day come from mail-ins or drop-offs. And historically, liberal voters have used those more than conservative voters. I wish they do a study on why.

Milton Sauer, Meriden, Connecticut, Bill, you keep calling for federal monitors to oversee the Arizona election. However, elections are the state's responsibility. Okay, we explained that, and just talked about it with Senator Lieberman. Sometimes you've got to send in the troops when obvious corruption is taking place.

Back with a final thought about Thanksgiving in a moment.

thought of the day, Thanksgiving. Now, most people don't ever think about what they're going to do on Thanksgiving other than watch the football game or maybe play a little touch football, but they don't think about how they're going to present themselves at dinner. This is a big mistake. So if you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner or traveling to someone else's home, number one, you've got to know who's going to be there. Okay, is there an annoyer? Is there somebody there who's going to be provocative. It's going to be, who's that? Got to know the roster. Okay. And then you develop a game plan. How are you going to present yourself on Thanksgiving? Are you going to be bellicose? It's a good word of the day, right? Word of the day, bellicose. See how I worked it in?

Or are you going to be kind of just happy the happy guy or gal? It's Thanksgiving. Don't really want to talk about how great Joe Biden's doing on the border. I know it's hard. I know it's hard. But it doesn't matter. So if you got somebody in the crew who's just picking, you know, looking for a little, ignore them, make a joke out of it. You know, make a joke out of it. But you have to know this before you go in because there's so much stuff coming out people on these Thanksgiving celebrations. If you got kids that run around, and doing this, and doing that, but you have to kind of almost hypnotize yourself into the presentation zone, I call it. And you've got to say, this is what, nobody's going to shake

me out of it. I'm going to be nice. I'm going to be happy. This is a grand, a traditional occasion for our country. Of course, we all have things to be thankful for. Maybe we talk a little history. Maybe we talk a little sports. Maybe we talk a little entertainment. Maybe we talk to no spin news. You know, and this is what O'Reilly's got. You know, it's shocking to me that I'd say half the country doesn't even know the no spin news is on. It's just crazy. That kind of thing. But you've got to really know how to present yourself and stay in the discipline zone. no matter what crazy Larry says, it just doesn't matter, as Bill Murray once said in the movie Meatballs. It just doesn't matter.

Thanks for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
