Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for April 19th, 2003, stand up for your country. Can you believe that in just four months, the first presidential debate will be held? And both parties right now, pretty chaotic. Are they not? It's not focused at all. And the Fox News settlement yesterday will influence how the presidential primaries will unfold, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So we did a search to find out if any news organization won. Said anything. positive about Fox News yesterday? The answer is no. A hundred percent of the news coverage was negative. So I get a letter from Dan Schmidt, who lives in East Hampton, New York.

He says, just wondering if this settlement will have any lasting impact on the Republican party primary or the presidential election of 2024. It's an excellent question, Dan. So the answer is yes, it will, because Fox News is going to be distracted. There's another lawsuit coming up, SmartMatic, and I'll get into that. It's not nearly what this is. The SmartMatic lawsuit is much smaller. But Newsmax has to go through Dominion, and that's the other conservative channel, and O-A-N-N is there, but that doesn't reach very many people anymore.

So anyway, I talked about the impact, the presidential impact of this whole thing with Doug Schoen yesterday. Roll the tape. Yeah, but it's his polarizing point of view that I still think he could adjust to. But without, you know, the Fox News machine behind him, and I don't think most people have taken this into consideration. Trump loses a lot of power. He does. But his ability to communicate, Bill, using alternative channels of communication, has been second to none. I say in my book, Power, that he controls the dialogue every day, whether it be Twitter, truth, social, whatever.

Okay. Now, the management of Fox News does not support Donald Trump for president. However, some of the so-called talent, the host, the pundits, still do. And I don't expect them to be silenced. They're not going to do that. However, the amount of time devoted to Trump and his rallies and all of that will be severely cut down. In 2016, Fox News Channel and all the other news agencies on television gave Trump an amazing amount of exposure. of exposure because he was a ratings driver. He drove the ratings up. I was there. I mean, I saw it

right day to day. And then the liberal news agencies, that's 80% of them on television, they started to figure out, uh-oh, he might beat Hillary Clinton. So the coverage, which in the beginning was more like, look at this guy, became negative toward Trump. But he was still on all the time. In 20, he wasn't on quite as much, and by then he was the devil in the media. It was the absolute devil. So things have changed. Now, with Fox News not behind him, again, the management doesn't want him to be president, it throws everything. And DeSantis knows this. The main rival, of course, Governor DeSantis. He knows he's going to get much more favorable treatment on Fox than Trump will.

But I don't know, and I analyzed it, I don't know of anybody Fox talent that's really behind DeSantis now. There are a few that lean his way, but it's not like it was with Trump where you had a bunch of people going, Trump's got to have them. Not like that. So anyway, all of this comes into how Americans are going to get their information about the presidential election. Since Rush Limbaugh's death, talk radio has declined conservative talk radio. There is no liberal talk radio. Doesn't exist nationally, maybe locally, but nationally.

Tried it, Air America, unbelievable bomb. Because they're so sanctimonious, that's why. But anyway, Limbaugh was a huge, huge force to drive conservative voters, Republican voters to the polls. He's gone, and that void is there. Conservative radio still does pretty well. I saw the ratings from March today. And thank you all on WABC listening to us right now. We do very, very well at 9 o'clock at night. They take the No Spin News and they broadcast.

on the common sense band. So anyway, just summing up, you are going to go into an election where both parties are chaotic. Biden, I don't think, is going to run. I've told you that from the very beginning. He's the diminishment of Joe Biden. It's stunning. They're keeping it from the public. The press won't report it anyway. But this time next year, I don't know if that man's even going to be able to get out of the house. I mean, that's how fast he's declining. but they have no one else on the Democratic side. Public inside, it looks like Trump against DeSantis, but it's fractured all over the place, and that's the memo.

All right, the Smartmatic thing, just very briefly, it's just a small company based in London. It consolidated in Delaware. That's where most corporations go because they have a low tax rate there. It only has seven employees in Boccauton, Florida. It only did one thing in the 2000. 20 election. And that was in Los Angeles County. They had Smartmatic machines. Well, L.A. County voted 10 to 1 for Biden, but SmartMatic didn't really have much of a role in that

election. Nevertheless, it's suing Fox News and Newsmax and everybody else for billions of dollars. In addition, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartaromo, Janine Piro, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, the litany. Now, SmartMatic has an advantage because it can get legally all of the depositions and all of the data, the dominion accumulated. That can go to SmartMatic. And if they're smart, they'll take it. Okay?

So they don't have to do a lot of their homework. They already have it handed to them. However, Fox News filed a counter lawsuit saying, this is ridiculous. You've only got seven employees, and they're only in one county, and you're suing us for billions of dollars? It's crazy. So I don't expect this to, you know, rise to any level of importance, but it's a distraction. And, of course, as we went over yesterday, the bigger distraction for Newsmax is Dominion. They've got to answer Dominion.

And Newsmax can't afford to pay any judgment. You put them right out of business. 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 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. 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, 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. President's schedule today goes to AcoKeekeek, Maryland and tells everybody that his economic vision is working. Okay.

It's not. And I'll give you just one stat. This is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So it's just the federal government staff. Under Biden's regime, two years plus, the average American family has lost $7,400 in income. It's a lot of money. So Biden can go and tell you the economy's great and he's cutting this and cutting that. That's it.

That's all you need to know. Average family, $7,400 light. and that's because of inflation. So if you get a raise, it doesn't go up as much as inflation goes up. So you're spending more than you're getting, taking in. That's the stat. That's all. It's all you need to know.

Well, Biden never acknowledged? Of course not. Will anybody even ask them about it? No. It's so absurd. All right, this is tax week. Joe and Jill. All right.

I don't want to be disrespectful. I just this is amusing to me. So last year they made $579,514. Pretty nice, pretty nice, right? They paid $138,000 in federal income tax. They donated $20,000 a charity. That's 3.5% of their gross. I mean, that's Paltry, P-A-L-T-R-Y, 3.5, that's it. And he is a history. The Bidens of a history and I'd given anything. In 2021, they gave 2.8, so they're actually up 7%. So they don't give any money to charity. How about Kamala and Doug? They made $457,000 last year.

They paid $94,000 in federal income tax. They donated $23,000 in charity. That's 5% of the gross. That's 5% is about average, I would say. However, last year, they only, and I got them on this, they only donated 1.3% and that's embarrassing. So these are people who want our money, you know, tax money, tax money, but they don't give anything to charity. So you make the call. Now the shooting, this one, Bodoin, Maine, that's where the college is, the famous college up there.

Some idiot is accused, 34-year-old Joseph Eaton. of killing four and I'm sorry killing the really let's say four people I was right four people were killed three others wounded seven people the guy shoots the main authorities don't have a motive yet all right now Eaton's a violent felon so he was prohibited from owning a firearm but he had one anyway which I'm telling you is the way it's always going to be no matter what you do no state can ban they can do They do that. Anyway, it's 300 million firearms in America. If you're a thug, you're going to get a firearm. Whatever what the bands are, you're going to get it. Okay, so now this guy is charged with murder,

and it caught my attention because this is Maine. This is rural Maine. And again, we don't know why this happened. So far this year, 165 mass shootings, 90% of them are gangster, drug gang type things. the gun violence archives. Now, what do you do? I put forth my gun problem solving and, you know, federalize all gun crimes, and then the individual states, the more powerful the weapon is, the more training you have to have. Okay? That's pretty much what I want. But I wanted to know what a moderate Democrat wants. Not a far left loon because they want to ban all guns. They want to take all guns away from Americans so that Americans couldn't protect themselves. That's what they want. But moderate Democrats. So out here in Nassau County, where I am, the former county executive

is Laura Curran, and she is a moderate Democrat, and I know that to be true. She does a show on W.A.B.C. Radio, Sundays 4 p.m. and she joins us now from Baldwin Long Island on the South sure. Okay, so, Laura, I didn't miscategorize you. You're a moderate Democrat, right? Yes, yes. I'm very comfortable with that moniker bill. Okay, and you're surrounded by far-left loons in New York. It is frustrating. It is frustrating to see what's happening to my party, and I see that with our far-left policies, we're losing more and more races here on Long Island and actually around the state. Okay, because the state's a mess. That's why. Now, gun, So if you were the emperor of America, no, Congress, nothing.

You're the emperor. You do what you want. How would you solve the gun problem? You know, as you laid out your common sense plan, I think that makes a lot of sense. And I think people are incredibly frustrated anytime we have a shooting. And it seems to be happening every other day. Now we have Bowdoin, Maine. We had Nashville, Louisville, you know, Alabama, the Sweet 16.

I mean, it becomes kind of performative and everyone can predict what they're going to say on one side and what they're going to say on the other side. But meanwhile, people are dying. Families are- Okay, but what's your solution, though? What would you do? You're the empress or emperor. What would you do? I, well, I would look at the Constitution.

I may be the Empress, but I'm not going to overturn the Constitution in the Second Amendment. And people do have a right to their arms. And there are a lot of Democrats who like to hunt or whatever it may be. So there may be some silent Democrats who are afraid to say what they think about that. I think I don't know why anyone needs an assault rifle to go hunting or even to protect themselves. I think that's something we have to take a really hard look at. I think training is a very good idea. What you just said, training, maybe a mental health scan, mental health.

You know, if you have mental health problems, it should be a lot harder to get weapons, especially there's weapons that can shoot, you know, hundreds of people in a very short period of time. And I think we also need to look at what's going on in our society right now. This is a bigger issue. Yeah, but you're not going to solve that. Even as empress, you're not going to solve bad parents and terrible culture. You're not going to solve it. All right. So the reason that I want, the reason that I, and number one, if you live in rural Montana, for example, or Wyoming or any of the western states where there's not a lot of people around, the police are proactive, They can't protect you.

They have to respond. You know, having an AR or whatever in your home, I would have one. Because, you know, whether it's a bear or 18 guys on motorcycles, come on on up your driveway, nobody's going to help you but yourself. And I don't want some pin-headed politician telling me I can't protect my family. All right. In New York City with 8.5 million people, it's a different story. So I want to let the states handle what the laws are about guns.

And we have that now, primarily. So you can carry in Florida, you can carry in Texas. You can't carry in New York unless you jump through a thousand hoops. And I understand that. Eight and a half million people crowded into a small space. Can't have everybody with guns. But the reason I want training for the heavier weapons is that delays the impulse purchase. You know, the guy in Louisville bought that AR, I think, two or three days ahead or when he went into the bank.

You couldn't do that anywhere, okay? You would have to get months of training so that the trainers could put an eye on you, all right, could assess not only your physical ability to handle the weapon, but how you are behaving. You need to have that kind of scrutiny. But on the criminal end, we have a terrible problem in New York that's being downgraded by the governor and the mayor of New York City and Nadler, the congressman. I mean, they're not real upset about all of the violence in New York City. I mean, every gang dope dealer has a gun, and Bragg will let you out with no bail, even if you're found with an illegal gun. yet Democrats vote for these people, Laura? Yes, but in lower and lower numbers,

if you see the turnout in some of these races, it is quite low. But what else say about, say, your plan, it's a very common sense plan. It makes a lot of sense. It's worth looking at. The problem is getting Congress, getting Republicans and Democrats together

to come up with a common sense plan. They're not going to do it. No, because there are so many Republicans and conservatives to say, I don't want any limitations on guns at all. None. So a conservative in South Carolina or anything, they're not going to say what I just said. Well, let's be reasonable. And if you want to buy a heavier weapon, then you have to go through training that the state

mandates and we take a look at you. There are a lot of people on the right that don't want any of that. And on the left, they don't want to hear about putting young black men. in prison and they're the most that's the biggest group using the weapons to kill people Alabama Alabama was African American on African American gang related you know you don't you don't even hear the media reporting that they wouldn't even report it because the left is so against punishing minority criminals and that's the truth and it's a shame that in our political discourse right now nuance gets lost like you talked about the difference between

living in rural Montana and New York City. The other thing that you alluded to, Bill, is that you can have the best gun laws that God has ever made, that emperors or empresses have ever made. But people will circumvent those laws to get guns. And that's, I don't know how we stop that. Just like the guy in Maynard.

Just like the guy and made it. You are never going to solve the gun problem in America, ever. But you can diminish it. Yeah, yes, absolutely. You know, I'm friends with a woman named Linda Beagle Shulman, a fellow Long Islander who lost her son in Parkland, who was a teacher down there. And she's so incredibly frustrated by the theater

that happens on both sides. And in the meantime, what's happening? Families continue to be ripped apart. Schools have to completely redo their protocols. You know, police departments have to retrain their officers on how to respond to active shooters. This is a real fear that affects the entire country. Well, I hate to take a pessimistic view, but because of the stringent politics on both sides, I don't see it getting any better.

Now, in New York State yesterday, the Board of Regents, which oversees the public school system, banned the mascot names, Indians, warriors, chiefs, anything to do with Native Americans. If a school keeps the name, they don't get any state money. What do you think about that? Well, I think that's really problematic because you have locally elected school boards who are supposed to represent the will of the people in their districts and make policy based on that will. Of course, they have to abide by all the guidelines and regulations. But this is something that is going to be, I think, very popular, very unpopular, I should say, because people really identify strongly on Long Island and everywhere with their school sports teams. And it's interesting because you have the Wantau Warriors, which is a very generic name. but if it is in any way linked to a Native American culture or Native history,

is this just virtue, in your opinion, is this just virtue signaling? Is that what this is, politically correct stuff? That's what I hear from a lot of people here on Long Island, that, you know, we have significant problems in our schools. I mean, I think on Long Island, we've got good schools, but generally, you know, we need help with our public schools. This is not going to move the needle. Help educate children.

All this is a bunch of gibberish. from the left-wing government. Politically, this is another reason why a lot of moderate Democrats or independents are scratching their heads and saying, why would I vote for a Democrat if these are the kinds of policies? But they still do, Laura.

They still do in Manhattan, in particular, not Manhattan, New York City. Final question. I wrote a book called Killing Crazy Horse the Merciless Indian Wars in America. I did not get one letter. And we sent that book to leaders of African

of Native American communities. We sent them to reservations because we wanted to get feedback from Native Americans about the book. It's a brutal book, very tough book. On both sides, but it's absolutely 100% true. But I was waiting for

the woke to attack the word Indian. In fact, in my publishing house, somebody actually did. Oh, you can't use the word any. I said, well, then you're not going to be able to publish a book because that's what it is, the Indian Wars. That's the historical term for it. I'm not going to be woke and take the word Indian out of there. It's insane. But that's where we are.

Thanks to your party, Laura. That's where we are thanks to your party. Because woke is a hundred percent Democrat, a hundred percent. I am concerned. The virtue signaling, and a lot of people are wondering, look, like you just mentioned, people are losing their income, inflation. We have serious problems in our society. A lot of these issues that are being pushed by the left of my party are not really solving those problems. And I think a lot of moderate Democrats feel intimidated to kind of go along where they're going to be yelled at on Twitter or by the activists. Yeah, they're afraid. Yeah. They're definitely afraid. And then you have Trump. They hate Trump so much that they still vote for the far left people because they hate Trump.

So insane. So chaotic. All right, Laura, good to see you. Thanks for helping us out. We really Appreciate it. We'll talk again, I hope. It's my pleasure. Thank you very much. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. make sure you tune in you can find us at apple podcast spotify or wherever you get your podcast from the moderate level we go to the far left uh alexandria ocasia cortez easy target and i

don't use her very much but this is pretty pretty ridiculous um she goes on the daily show which is allegedly a comedy show not really anymore uh it's not like john stewart when he was on there it's i don't know even why it's on here but here's what she says go we're here in new york city um and you're talking about funding uh violence prevention outside of the police and yet eric adams has just increased police wages by 28 percent is that misplaced i think so we are now at a point where officially most officers are paid more than a teacher with a master's degree serving these same kids involved in these same incidents. We are defunding safety, defunding our public schools, defunding our public pools,

defunding our parks, defunding our libraries when we are taking all of those resources and demanding that every single department except the militarized one be cut. We are sending a message about who and what we care about. This is such a moron, and I mean that literally. New York, city public schools, $37,000 per pupil, the highest in the nation. We're defunding our public schools. It's just insane. But this is what they, Biden on down, they just say stuff. No longer do they have to even worry about if it's true. Don't even have to worry about it because the press will cover for them. University of Texas, Austin, Longhorns,

psychology class. Teacher is let me do right. Okay. I'll find a teacher's name. She gives a quiz. Her name is Kristen Bradbury. Kristen Bradbury.

Gives a quiz. All right. So here's a question. Put it on up. I'll read it for everybody listening on a radio. Neither race nor gender is determinative

an anti-social personality disorder. However, if we must go there, which socio-demographic group is most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others

in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit irresponsibility and a lack of remorse okay so then she gives multiple choice all right middle class Latino families wealthy white men Asian men of all economic groups female dentists so she's looking for wealthy white men obviously why is Kristen Bradbury looking for wealthy white men because they hold the most social power and they can get away with the most wrongdoing. So here we have the University of Texas psychology class. This is a quiz. So you've got to circle wealthy white men are responsible for most of society ills or you get it wrong.

I wouldn't send my kid to UT. Would you? This is crazy. Okay, let's get back to the media. My favorite subject, because I am in the media, 47 years. So we did search last night, and I told you the topic program. Nobody said anything good about Fox News. I'm going to do this in a final thought, because I had two headlines this week.

A lot of attention paid to me. But I'll get that in the final thought. So I'm going to pick two sound bites, and I'm going to play them for you, which illuminates what kind of a corporate media we have in this country. The first one, CNN, which is a big corporation, Discovery, Warner Brothers, whatever. I can't even keep track, all right? And the woman speaking is Allison Camerata, who worked at Fox News for six. 16 years. 16 years. Go. I think this is a victory for Fox.

They don't have to put their big stars on the stand. And they didn't even have to issue a public apology. When you guys say that they admitted that they lied, no, they didn't. They're saying that we acknowledge the court's findings that certain claims about dominion appear, about dominion to be false. That doesn't say we lied. So Ms. Camerrano wanted Fox punished more than the 800,000 and the statements that came out. I know her.

She was, I got along with her fine. Never a problem. I didn't know well. I mean, she worked a day shift and I was on with nine. But I'm going to myself, you work for a company for 16 years, okay? What happened? Why does she hate them so much? I don't know.

The second one is the vile. Joy Reed, and I mean vile, that's my opinion. I mean, this woman, whoa. So this is NBC News. Go. The risk was that Fox's captive audience would catch wind of what their favorite Fox stars actually think about their viewers and about Donald Trump. And now they didn't believe any of the horse manure about the 2020 election

that they were shoveling at the Fox audience for more than two years. Okay, so every day. this woman attacks. All right. Disparages. Ridicules. Doesn't criticize. Ridicules.

The Fox audience. So if you watch it or you vote for Trump, you're bad person. Not misguided. Bad. Corporate media. Okay. Now we have a headline that says Americans spend more

on legal marijuana than on chocolate and beer craft beer I don't know what crap beer I give beer this comes out of a Colorado-based media organization called Marijuana Business Daily code their conclusion that this year Americans will spend 34 billion dollars on legal pot 34 billion and in 2020 and in 2020 28 is five years away, 57 billion dollars. Americans will spend to intoxicate themselves with marijuana. That's more than chocolate and beer, crap beer combined.

Interesting, right? So now we should call our country the United States of intoxication. Right? So we're going to have billions and billions of dollars spent on marijuana in addition to alcohol. I'll be the only sober one in New York, I guess. I shouldn't say that. Some of you watching.

But why is this happening? It's happening because the totalitarians want a stone society because you're more pliant then. Because they can get away with more. You're not paying attention. You're too busy getting high. Whatever that means. That's what they want. Intoxication is good for the charlatans seeking power.

Now, 20 years ago, almost 20 years ago, this is amazing. I went on Conan O'Brien and talked about pot. Go. What about legalizing marijuana? I don't want to legalize it. You see, this is the younger audience. But you don't understand. You're not going to hear that on a 700 club.

They're not going to applaud for that. Yes, they are. No, not on the 700 club. It doesn't go along party lines. I don't want to legalize you. That gets everybody excited, don't you see? Sorry about my voice. I don't want to legalize marijuana,

but I would decriminalize it because I don't want to see you go to prison. And, uh... Let me tell you something. Bill, they are not catching this guy, all right? Yeah. Almost 20 years ago. Boy, that's why.

Stay in history, April 19, 1951, General Douglas MacArthur relieved of command in the Korean War. April 19th, okay, what led to that? So MacArthur, obviously, World War II hero, although he did lose some significant battles in Pacific, was appointed by Harry Truman to command U.S. and U.N. forces once North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950. MacArthur was the guy. Now, he initially was successful in driving the North Koreans back, way beyond the parallel. But the Chinese, the Red Chinese Army, intervened to save the North Koreans. And MacArthur wanted to wax them.

Okay? Bomb Beijing, which was Peking, all of that. Truman did not want another World War in 1950, five years after World War II. So he sacked, fired MacArthur. And he said, quote, this is Truman. I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was. But that's not against the law for generals.

If it was, half to three quarters of them would be in jail, unquote, Harry Truman. All right, so MacArthur came back to the U.S. USA was a big hero, and he died at age 84 from cirrhosis, okay, on April 5th, 1964, his stay in history. A lively mail segment, a lot of it about the Fox settlement, and then a final thought about my media experience this week, right back. Okay, let's go to the mail. Tony LaFrazia, Winthrop, Massachusetts, just north of Boston.

Bill, I can understand why Fox is being sued, but isn't this type of reporting routine procedure for other media organizations, shouldn't we be seeing these types of suits on a daily basis? Not at this level, because you have to show damage, and then you have to show malice in assessing the damage. It's very complicated to do it, Tony. Very complicated. This is a very rare case. Bonnie, Box News having a case earned against them in Delaware is sure they would lose like Trump, Fox News can't get a fair jury in the blue precincts.

Maybe, I don't think that was a consideration myself, but it could have been. Michael, concierge member, Michael gets direct access to me. We suggest you might want to research concierge membership on Bill O'Reilly.com. It will enhance your life. It will. I don't believe Dominion as a company is worth anywhere close to their

demand. I'd also like to see how they will prove damage as well we're not going to see any of that because fox decided that they didn't want to do it simple as that alana uh i don't think anyone will ever convince me that the election wasn't stolen just like carry lake in arizona how do you explain that one i don't have to explain it if carry lake in arizona running for governor was a victim of fraud, let's see it. You see, this is what I mean, and I'm not diminishing your opinion, Alana. If you want to think the election 2020 was rigged, you're entitled to that, but you can't state it as a fact.

Gus Pullen, Houston, Texas. I've watched you since I've since I've done edition bill, and you have the best news program anywhere. I'd like to hear more about Ukraine. I can't see anything but Russia winning. Russia isn't winning. Russia is getting its butt kicked economically.
