Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, September 20th,
2023, stand up for your country.
The theme of the No Spin News tonight, unfortunately,
is government corruption.
That is the subject of this evening's talking,
points memo. You probably know. Attorney General Merrick Garland testified in front of the House
Judiciary Committee today. Jim Jordan, Republican from Ohio is the chairman. And it was interesting.
Usually Garland and Christopher Ray, they had of the FBI and all the other federal Justice Department
people tell you they can't comment because there's an investigation underway. That's not what Garland did
today. Garland did the Sergeant Schultz defense. I know nothing. Remember Hogan Zeros? Remember?
Big chubby Sergeant Schultz looking away on purpose? I don't know. That was Merrick Garland.
Here's how he explained it. He said that he told Senator Grassley, a Republican, that he
wouldn't intrude or interfere with the Hunter Biden investigation, okay? Because some Republicans
were worried that Merrick Garland would tilt it away. So Garland goes, oh, I didn't have anything
to do with it. Okay? It was all David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, full power.
But I didn't know what was happening, okay?
It was him.
I promised they wouldn't get involved.
Now, on the surface, it's pretty clever, because every specific question, Garland, I don't know, I wasn't following it.
I don't know.
I didn't hear about statute of limitations.
I don't know, all right?
But it falls apart.
Now, I'm going to tell you why.
All right. So that was what Garland's posture was. He didn't know. The House Republicans missed opportunities. I told Hannity on a radio show today on his radio show. Next time it should be Jordan, Hannity, and me interviewing Merrick Garland. No one else. Okay? Because we'd ask the specific questions that he couldn't pull that on. For example,
You don't have to intrude, Mr. Attorney General, but you do have to provide oversight.
So say you appoint David Weiss to investigate Hunter Biden, and Weiss is drunk every day.
What are you going to do?
You don't know that?
You're not watching what's happening there, or he doesn't show up for work, or whatever it may be.
The attorney general is the boss.
He doesn't have to tell Weiss, charge him with this, charge him with that,
but he certainly has to provide oversight.
Garland said he didn't provide any oversight.
When asked why it took almost five years to bring stupid charges,
and they were that got thrown out by a judge against on a bottom,
I don't know.
And that is the key.
And I'm just remembered that.
All right, let me play you three sound bites.
First one is Congressman Mike Johnson, Louisiana, and they're talking about the length of this Hunter Biden investigation to go.
Why has the Justice Department dragged this investigation out for so long?
Does it really take years to determine if Hunter Biden lied on a federal form related to purchasing a firearm?
Mr. Weiss was a longtime career prosecutor.
President Trump appointed him as you're not answering the question.
Is that standard procedure?
Should it take that long to make such a simple determination?
I'm answering the question.
Give me an opportunity to do so.
Okay.
He was charged with that investigation under the previous administration.
He's continued.
He knows how to conduct investigations,
and I have not intruded or attempted to evaluate that.
He hasn't attempted to evaluate it.
I mean, that's so observable.
when you think about. This is the top law enforcement official in the country. The president's
son is being investigated for felony corruption, and he hasn't evaluated. He should be fired
on the spot. Second soundbite. Congressman Dan Bishop, North Carolina picks up on the length
of the investigation how it affects the statute of limitations.
When did the Justice Department permit statutes of limitations to expire on some of the prospective charges against Hunter Biden for tax violation?
I don't know anything about the statute of limitations here.
The investigation was in the hands of Mr. Weiss to make the determinations that he thought were appropriate.
Are you unaware that statutes for limitations have in fact been allowed to expire after they're having been tolling agreements in place?
I'm going to say again, determination.
of where to bring cases and which kinds of cases to bring was left to Mr. Weiss.
So no oversight at all, Garland didn't know, Sergeant Schultz, no, nothing, okay, and throwing
Weiss under the bus. Wice is going to have the news, all right, when it comes down to the end of this.
Third Soundbite is, again, the same mantra. Garland must have said Trump,
appointed Weiss a dozen times because that's the Democratic talking point.
All right.
So here's the chairman, Jim Jordan.
Quote, Mr. Weiss has full authority to bring cases and other jurisdictions if he feels
it's necessary.
That was your response, Attorney General, to Senator Grassley's question on March 1st,
2023.
Just referenced it when Mr. Bishop was questioning you.
Only problem is he'd already been turned down by the U.S. attorney in the District of
Columbia, Mr. Graves.
So he didn't have full authority, did he?
I had an extended conversation with Senator Grassley at the time.
We briefly touched on the Section 515 question and how that process went.
My point's real simple, Mr. Garland.
You said he had complete authority, but he'd already been turned down.
He wanted to bring an action in the District of Columbia,
and the U.S. attorney there said, no, you can't.
And then you go tell the United States Senate under oath that he has complete authority.
I'm going to say again that no one had the authority.
to turn him down. They could refuse
to partner with him. They could
not. You can use whatever language, refuse
to partner is turning down.
It's not the same under
a well-known Justice Department of practice.
Oh,
Barney Fipe.
That's what that guy reminds me of.
Do the sitcom motif.
Well, here's the truth.
U.S. attorneys, Matthew Graves
in D.C. and Martin Estrada
in California, refused
to help David Wise.
okay. Merrick Garland could have ordered them to help David Weiss. He did not. He did not order
them. All right. He had to know they refused to help because it was all over. He had to know.
And Garland did nothing. All right. That's not full authority. So Garland's not telling the truth.
He goes, oh, well, they can refuse to partner. It's just garbage. And this is why people think the
government's corrupt because it is.
Garland is a corrupt man.
It's right on display.
Those two sides to that story.
He's being deceptive, Garland.
Now, I believe Garland.
I believe him when he says, I don't know anything.
Because he knew from the jump when he took the Attorney General job that Hunter Biden was under scrutiny.
And he didn't want any part of this radioactive case at all.
because Biden appointed him to the position of Attorney General.
So he said, I don't want to hear anything.
I don't want to know anything.
Don't tell me anything.
All right?
I'm almost 100% sure Garland's not lying about that.
But here is the final nail,
and I couldn't believe the Republicans didn't ask him this.
Garland had a sign off on the plea bargain that
was thrown out by the judge.
Garland is a former judge.
He had to know the clause in the plea agreement,
the initial plea agreement, that said,
you, the federal government cannot prosecute Hunter Biden
for any other crimes the rest of his life
was never going to fly.
Garland had to sign off on that plea.
He couldn't recuse himself.
That's the final nail in this deceptive.
in this deceptive man's coffin.
And that's the memo.

All right. Let's bring in Thomas Baker. He may have heard the name. He's the author of the
bestselling book, The Fall of the FBI, how once great agency became a threat to democracy.
Mr. Baker was an FBI agent for 33 years, served all over the world, a very distinguished
career. I want to get very specific with you. I'm sure you agree with me.
that Merrick Garland is not Elliott Ness.
He's not trying to find the truth about anything
that would affect the Biden family.
You're agreeing with that, right?
Yes, and it's very frustrating.
OK, it's sad.
It's sad for this country.
But the FBI, now I've had an ongoing disagreement
with Chris Cuomo on News Nation, and I'll be on there again tonight.
Cuomo claims the FBI has been vigorously investigating
Hunter Biden.
I say there's no trace the FBI has been involved in that investigation at all.
Who's right?
Well, I think you're right.
It cannot be, at least up to this point, be called vigorous by any means.
And I think one of the congressional soundbites you played where the congressman was trying to get out the point of how long this was taking is very significant.
It's inordinate.
We're talking two, three, and in some instances of some aspects of it, five years this has been dragging on.
And the one charge that came forward a week ago now, the gun charge, is so clear cut, is so cut and dry, that charge could have been brought forward two or three years ago.
But not only that, it's almost an indefensible charge.
I mean, it's literally black and white.
He lied on a government form he signed the gun firearms gun purchase.
So that was a simple case that could have been brought.
wrote forward three or four years ago.
Okay, but you wrote a book, I mean, about the FBI.
Have you heard anything, any field office, Baltimore,
anybody that has got agents actively trying to find out what Hunter Biden did or did not do
and if any money passed along to his father?
Have you heard a whiff about that?
Bill, here's what, I wrote the book because I was concerned about the change in culture
the FBI that has led it into all these problems they have today, and this case is another
manifestation of it. They had the laptop, it's almost five years now, but they had the laptop
very early on. They have the technical expertise beyond any shadow of a doubt to tell within
days, if not within hours, the legitimacy and the accuracy of the laptop, and they so
determined, we know that now for a fact, and yet it was allowed to go by in intelligence
offices, including one, Lisa Monaco, who had been the chief of staff to Bob Mueller at the FBI,
and now she is the deputy attorney general. She is the one, and the emails have been made public,
sending around the emails with this guy Merrill from the CIA asking these other 51 people to
sign on. She's now the Deputy Attorney General. Yeah. Well, I know about the politics. We all know
how rotten the politics are, but there were 170 reports from banks flagging transitions that were
suspicious, financial deposits and things like that were suspicious. 170, all right,
from the Biden family were flagged 170 times. The FBI doesn't see.
to have looked into any of them?
Well, that's most shocking at all, and that's one of the really concrete pieces, and I'll call it
evidence that exists, that warrants proceeding with the investigation not only of Hunter Biden,
but of his father, now the incumbent president, a suspicious activity report. This is something
that financial institutions, and not just banks, but brokerages and others, are required
to file when they believe there is suspicious.
activity. And in numerous cases, and you can ask anybody in the FBI, the DEA, anybody,
often one suspicious activity reports is all the probable cause you need to open a money laundering
case, a drug trafficking case, or numerous financial fraud investigations. One, to have 176 involving the
Biden family. And then we now know, separate and corroborating that, that they set up these
20-some dummy paper companies to run money through. I mean, this reached to high heavens and this
should be jumped on with both feet. But yet it's dragged on. Are you certain the FBI didn't look
into this? Because all of the things that we've just talked about were revealed by the House
investigators in Congress. Not that.
the federal government.
Oh, no, some of it was looked into.
But these roadblocks, whether administratively within the FBI,
maliciously within the FBI, or in the Department of Justice,
or in one of the U.S. attorney's offices, up to and including the Attorney General,
are slowing everything down.
Specifically, last fall, one FBI agent, an assistant agent in charge in the Washington
field office, was let go by Christian.
Ray, because he had been essentially very in deep-sixing the investigation around the
laptop. And that's all well documented now.
Ray fired him because he was trying to obscure the laptop. So in this case, Ray did the right
thing. But my overall question, and I don't know whether you know or not, if you don't know,
I mean, you don't know. I don't think the FBI under Christopher Ray was involved with anything.
in trying to get information about the Biden family.
That's the way it looks to me as a journalist.
Well, it's certain.
Well, with very good reason, because, as the congressman said today,
so much time has gone by.
Well, so why?
Complex did a lot of time.
But this is inordinate.
And what Chris Ray did there with that one individual last fall,
he's done in other instances where malfeasance has come to the surface.
fired the individual or let individuals resign, in some cases, both things have happened.
And he always says when he testifies before Congress where he speaks to a group, including
groups of former agents, he always says, in so many words, we've gotten rid of the Rottenapples.
That was his response to the Durham report, which documented in great detail the lack of any
predicate information to start that. I don't trust Ray at all. I don't trust.
Well, and I think the Justice Department is, we don't have one anymore.
The book is The Fall of the FBI, How a Once Great Agency, Became a Threat of Democracy by Thomas Baker.
Mr. Baker, thanks for being with us today.
We appreciate it.
Okay, corruption.
Sure.
Corruption number two.
So earlier this week, we played two soundbites, one from Trump saying that Nancy Pelosi stopped the National Guard from protecting the Capitol on January 6th,
and one from Nancy Pelosi saying that she begged Trump.
to bring in the National Guard.
And that drives me crazy.
So I said to my staff, we got to get more on this.
All right, we have to get more.
So yesterday, unbeknownst to me, the U.S. Capitol Police Chief, Stephen's sonned, S-U-N-D,
testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee about January 6th.
Okay? So he's there, gets no press coverage. Even for me, I didn't even know about it. It's a subcommittee thing. It wasn't televised, but I should have known about it, but I didn't. Okay. So he's talking primarily about the National Guard. Now, the sergeant at arms, who was son's boss at the Capitol, okay? His name is Paul Irving. He was fired a day after January 6th.
Sun was fired by Pelosi.
Okay, we'll get into that in a moment.
Okay, so Irving was where Sun had to go to try to get the guard
in place to protect the Capitol on January 6th,
because everybody knew there was going to be trouble.
Follow me so far?
Okay.
The sergeant-at-arms, Irving, had to get permission from the Speaker of the House.
Nancy Pelosi.
Had to.
He couldn't order the National Guard.
Pelosi had to do that.
Okay, Congressman Brian Steele from Wisconsin Republican
interviewed Sunned yesterday.
Go.
You mentioned that when you first brought up the National Guard
to the House Sergeant in Arms
in the days leading up to January 6th,
that Mr. Irving said he, quote,
didn't like the optics, end quote.
Is that correct?
That is correct.
He referenced being concerned for optics.
And on January 6th, when he went to Mr. Irving to get his approval to call in the guard,
Mr. Irving said he would, quote, run it up the chain. Is that correct?
Yes, sir. That was a telephone call.
So running up the chain would most likely, in your opinion, is through the Speaker's office
and possibly to Speaker Pelosi?
That would be where to end, yes.
Okay. So let's park that there, and then let's jump to a second set here.
in a press conference on January 7th, Speaker Pelosi called for your resignation on national
television. Speaker Pelosi also stated that she had not talked to you since the initial breach of
the Capitol, but according to your transcribed interview, you're on the phone with Speaker
Pelosi a few times. Can you explain that discrepancy?
Yeah, that is correct. I spoke to Speaker Pelosi three times that evening, and she went on
national TV and said I'd never spoken to her, but I spoke to her three times.
Now, the follow-up question was, did you ask her to bring in the guard, but they didn't ask it
because these are politicians and they don't think like journalists or prosecutors.
Okay. Now, I believe that Nancy Pelosi was asked about bringing in the National Guard.
That is my belief. I think the evidence all points to that.
Okay? I could be wrong, but I'm going with available evidence, and you just heard it.
And everybody knew there were going to be problems.
And Donald Trump, the president, had broached the subject with the Pentagon at least two days before on January 4th.
And that's in stone. That's in writing.
Well, here's what Pelosi says.
We begged him. Chuck Schumer and I begged him to send the troops again and again.
He's a secretary of the army, McCarthy, another McCarthy, and acting secretary of defense, just made it, oh, there are too many obstacles, it's bureaucratic, it's this, we can't do it.
I don't believe him.
But again, I can't prove it.
All right.
Finally, on January 6th, Ray Epps, you'll know that he was the focus of some people who said that he was working for the federal government and encourage people to go in and riot at the Capitol.
charged with disorderly or disruptive conduct, federal charge. So Mr. Epps will have to answer
that charge. He lives in Arizona, 61 years old. You know him. It's featured on 60 minutes,
on and on and on and on. So far, 624 people, Epps's number 24, 624, have been convicted.
78, sentenced to prison.
523 cases are pending, so that means more than 1,000 people have been charged on January 6th.
Joe Biden's schedule today met with Netanyahu of Israel and Lula de Silva, president of Brazil,
and then he had two fundraisers in New York City, which is a fountain of money for the Democratic Party.
You all know that, and that's what Biden did today.
All right, poll, trust in our political system, Pew Research, Republican 28, Democrat 28, Independent 27, fair sample, 14,000 adults.
Here are the headlines of that study.
Four times as many Americans have unfavorable views of both parties than they did in 2022.
Trust in government is near a 70-year low.
Just 16% of the public say they trust the federal government.
Two and three Americans say they always or often feel exhausted when they think about politics.
Top two words used to describe U.S. politics are divisive and corrupt.
Okay.
Corrupt is, that is the most important word.
Here's another example of corruption.
So this is from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Since the year 2008, 15 years ago, the United States has sent $3 billion.
with a B, to Mexico to fight drug trafficking.
Okay?
The U.S. Government Accountability Office says,
we got nothing for our money.
Zero.
Three billion.
Gone.
They don't know where the money is.
They don't know who got it.
They don't know what was done.
This is a study.
They studied, where's the money.
Nobody knows where the money is.
I can tell you where it is.
It's in a bank in the Cayman Islands.
Okay?
That's where the money is.
And Mexican government officials put it there and stole it.
So, $3 billion, taxpayer dollars, $3 billion here, $3 billion there, and Ukraine, that's a problem.
I said that yesterday.
Sending all his money over there, you don't think it's getting stolen, it is.
Not all of it, but NATO has got to put in auditors to watch where this stuff is going.
Ukraine's a corrupt country.
It doesn't mean we should pull out, we've got to fight Putin there, but be very suspicious.
back.
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.
All right, Fennel Update, we did this yesterday.
If you didn't see it, I hope you will watch my talking points yesterday.
If you're premium concierge members, you watch any time you want, you get a transcript.
If you're not premium or concierge members, check it out.
All right, it will enhance your life, particularly concierge membership.
It's an insurance policy for you.
Okay, so as you know, as we reported one year old, Nicholas Domenici killed by fentanyl,
three other toddlers hurt because the daycare center they were in was also a drug factory in
the Bronx, New York.
Okay?
The woman who was arrested, Gray Menendez de Ventura, deleted 21,000 messages on her machine.
Her husband, who looks like the top drug dealer in the operation, still at large,
the cops have not released his name.
Why?
Why?
Let's get his name out there, okay?
Anyway,
the reason all this is happening is because New York State
and many other liberal states
don't prosecute drug dealers.
We told you, all right,
about the case of this guy Pagan,
who was arrested last year
with 20,000 fentanyl pills.
20,000.
Today,
he was sentenced and the prosecutors tell us he's going to get two years. Two years
for being a major weight fentanyl dealer. You know, corruption? This guy should get 20 years. Not two.
He pleaded it down and bragged the corrupt DA in Mexico.
at and took it. They caught them with it. You didn't have to plea it down. Illinois,
comes the first state to totally eliminate cash bail. Hey, that's going to help the Chicago violence
problem, isn't it? So no cash bail ever again until this idiot Governor Pritzker's thrown
out of there by the good people of Illinois, and boy, you guys got to mobilize. So Priske,
this is great. Roll of tape.
We're going to continue to focus on public safety, on making sure that, you know, in my view, someone who's wealthier shouldn't just be able to buy their way out of jail when they've committed a violent crime, when someone who's poor can't, you know, hasn't committed a violent crime and will sit in jail.
So the whole purpose here is fairness.
Yeah, sure, it's fairness.
We're going to continue to focus on public safety.
Hey, you're doing a great job, governor.
Yeah.
really good. Poor people are being murdered at a historic level in Chicago. And they're all
minorities, by the way. Okay. But we're going to focus on public safety. But if we find
somebody with a gun, all right, a legal gun, no bad. Right. And that's a deal in fentanyl, heroin.
Ah, nah, nah, nah, nah. It's not a violent crime. Selling poison is not a violent crime.
Minneapolis can't get any cops. They don't have enough police to, uh,
keep the people in Minneapolis safe.
This is because of the George Floyd incident.
All right.
It's the lowest level of uniform personnel in Minneapolis in 40 years.
And they can't, nobody wants to be a cop in Minneapolis.
Who would you?
Would you?
Would that liberal city council there?
You make one mistake.
It's your, and you'll have to pay and pay and pay and pay.
Nobody's going to go be a cop in Minneapolis.
Second lowest ratio of officers to population in large cities in America.
I should know what the lowest is.
Portland is the lowest.
Portland, Oregon is another place.
Smart life.
Okay.
So 70% of U.S. adults say they got a little problem sleeping, all right?
11%.
It's a lot.
Okay, report poor sleep every night.
So to study out of the UK, all right, Benidin Health.
They said there's foods.
If you eat certain foods, you're going to have trouble going to sleep.
I want to know if this is smart life now.
What are we doing it?
We want you to sleep well.
Chocolate, you eat chocolate before bedtime, you're going to be jazz.
Cheese.
Cheese.
Tiramine, which is in cheese, keeps you up.
Curry.
Now, I don't know anybody who eats curry before they go to bed.
cultural thing, I don't know, don't eat curry, ice cream, that's the same as chocolate,
you get this sugar rush, and chips, over-consumption of salt known to dehydridge your body,
and it's not going to be a good night's sleep if you gorge on chips.
Here are the good foods, smart life, good foods eat before bed, cherries, raw honey, bananas,
turkey, and almonds.
I don't need any of them before I go to bed, but I'm not like.
This day in history, September 20th, 2004, big press story.
So you'll remember that George W. Bush was running for prison.
Okay?
And John Kerry was his opponent.
And CBS wanted John Kerry to win.
So Dan Rather came up with a story
that said George W. Bush
Dodge Vietnam and got a spot in the Texas Air National Guard
and he didn't meet his obligations in the guard
and then rather put out documents.
Okay, that was 19 years ago today.
It turned out that the documents were phony.
And here's CBS had to apologize
and here's what Rather said.
On September 8th, the documents purported to show
that George W. Bush
received preferential treatment during his years in the Texas Air National Guard.
At the time, CBS News and this reporter fully believed the documents were genuine.
Tonight, after further investigation, we can no longer vouch for their authenticity.
And that ruined rather's career.
Boom.
I know rather mixed feelings about him.
I've had some intelligent discussions with him.
When I was at CBS, I didn't like the way he was running his office.
operation.
Someday I'll get into that a little more specifically, but that was it for Rather.
I booted the story, and you know where they got the phony documents?
Carry campaign.
Now, I don't know whether Rather knew that or not, but that was the end.
And that was this day in history.
All right, you got a Cracker Jack, Cracker Jack mail segment, and then a big, important announcement.
It's important to me anyway about.
killing the witches out next Tuesday, right back.
Okay, let's go into the mail bag.
Alan Hinks, Manchester, Vermont, beautiful town, Manchester, particularly in the autumn.
Vibak Ramoswamy was very refreshing.
Appeals to me, as I have a distrust of both parties, as a legal immigrant, I value my
USA citizenship dearly at which the country remains the best spot on the planet.
Vivak may be a bit young, but his enthusiasm and bold thoughts are what are
country needs. All right. So we had Mr. Ramaswami on yesterday. You got a reaction to that.
Sally Musselman, Trinity, Florida. Vivek was a great guest. Your interview was excellent,
as always, O'Reilly, very insightful. But not everybody. Robert, message board, Vivek,
Ramoswamy, reminds me of a fast-talking used car salesman. Oh, come on now.
Pre-owned car salesman, that's a cliche. I know a lot of them and some of them are good guys.
He has no chance of getting a Republican nomination. I agree with that.
Tanya, concierge member, which means Tanya has direct access to me.
It's an insurance policy for Tanya's life.
Bill Vovac is extremely naive about Ukraine.
The Ukrainians are never going to surrender their Russian-speaking territory.
I don't think either side is going to give a lot there, but eventually something will have to break.
David, concierge member, Trump will keep on with his non-participation in the debates to his own detriment.
Meanwhile, those debate participants will slowly gain ground.
hasn't happened yet, could, but Trump's way ahead right now.
Neil Harrison, Arlington, Texas, how do you recognize,
how do you expect to reorganize the FBI without congressional approval?
Neil, Congress has anything to do with the FBI?
He falls under the executive branch, the president.
The president controls the Justice Department.
He appoints the Attorney General.
He appoints the FBI director.
I don't have anything to do with it.
It just funds it, okay?
If a president wants to do away with the FBI,
the president can do that by executive order.
Candace Plattenberger, Lake Orion, Michigan.
I say if Senator Federman wants to be in office,
respect the dress code.
We have to do this for any work position,
or can we now tell our bosses we want to come to work
in our pajamas?
There's a difference between government and private industry.
So, Candace of you, don't dress to the standard,
of your employer, you'll get bounced.
But Chuck Schumer,
Senate Majority Leader, said that
Federman can come to work
in his little hoodie.
I would not have done that, but...
Rustum, concierge member,
there is no way 80 million of us voted
for Mr. Biden.
Listen, you believe what you want to believe, Rustin.
And you may be right.
But historically,
that's on the sheet.
And that's what I have to report.
Okay, Killing New Witches out September 26. Big announcement in Final Thought. I'm holding it over.
Now, this is a book that is a little scary. I wouldn't be giving it to the urchins unless they're 1314.
Killing New Witch's influences way back then, all right, in the late 1600s, the way we live today.
And there is a modern day witch hunt, the canceled culture. I tie it all in together in the book.
fall madness bundle still at your disposal killing the legends killing the killers any mug of your choice for forty two ninety five greatest deal remember gift giving coming up uh and by the way which is a great Halloween gift if you do that better than any candy and finally um we are on youtube Instagram and threads okay um we're also
also on Twitter at Bill O'Reilly, and that ties into the final thought that I'm going to give you
in a moment, which will surprise you. Word of the day, do not be Bella Kos, B-E-L-L-I-C-O-R-E-L-C-O-Royle.
When writing to me, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name and town, if you wish
to opine, right back with the final thought. All right, here is the final thought.
of the day. So, big promotion for the next three or four weeks. I got to go over to England
to see my urchin over there at Oxford, but most of the time I'm going to be doing this work,
no spin news, all the radio we do, Bill O'Reilly.com, and then I'm going to be promoting
killing the witches. We're going to kick off the killing the witches promotion on Twitter
or X and Hunter, Hunter. Okay.
Ready?
Tucker Carlson.
He's going to interview me.
Tucker Carlson.
Remember that name?
He took my slot at Fox News,
and now he's not at Fox News anymore.
So I have a few questions for Tucker,
and I'm sure he's got a few questions for me.
That interview is going to be taped on Monday night in Manhattan,
in a secret location.
And then, I guess Tucker is the master of his domain, he'll decide, you know, I hope it comes out the next day, book release day, Tuesday of next week, the 26th of September.
But I can guarantee you, this is not going to be a boring interview.
This is going to be something for the ages.
All right, we'll use some of it here on the NOSFIN News, too.
but I think you're going to want to see
the whole experience. So when I get a little
bit more, we know when the interview
is going to be take place. We don't know
when X or
Twitter, and I'm apart
from all this world, by the way.
But I got guys and gals who
write in it, they know.
When we know you'll know.
All right, when that's going to be put up there.
But I'm hoping it will be
you know, the evening
of the 25th, right
before, you know,
Amazon sends it out to you, Barnes & O'Oval, Bill O'Reilly.com.
We'll send it out to early.
If you're ordered on Bill O'Reilly.com, I'm going to get those books out.
Now, I'm not going in to this interview with any preconceived questions or answers.
I'm going to talk about killing the witches and how it applies to cancel culture and things like that.
Definitely going to do that.
But I don't have really much else.
I mean, I'm pleased that Mr. Carlson wants to talk to me, very pleased about that.
I know him a bit.
He was in Washington and I was in New York at Fox, so our paths didn't cross all that off.
And we have a respectful relationship, two very different styles about broadcasting and what we do on the air.
Obviously, you know that.
But anything could happen in this, you know, because I got questions, but he, you know,
He's the interviewer, and I'm the interviewee, so I will be respectful of that.
But I'll get a few of my questions in.
So anyway, I'm very pleased about that, because I can't think in this world right now,
because this will go worldwide, this will be everywhere.
They called viral, right?
Everywhere.
I can give a better vehicle right now than this.
And I've never known Mr. Carlson to be deceptive.
I'm not, ever.
So you're going to get a healthy dose of what both of us think.
So there's going to be any decept.
It's not going to be like Merrick Garland.
It drives me crazy.
It really, really drives me crazy.
Anyway, I hope you listen to the hands.
Hannity Radio program today.
So I'm posted on Bill O'Reilly.com
because we talk about Carlins.
And I will keep you posted
throughout the next
few days on the
Carlson X Twitter
situation. And most of all, we
want you to check out, killing the witches.
You're going to like this book. You can keep you up
nights. We've got a lot in
there. A lot of different things in there.
You're going to learn a lot.
Not an easy book to write, but we nailed
it, I think. Thank you very
much for watching and listening to the no spin news i hope you enjoyed this broadcast tonight
it was an important one and we'll see you tomorrow
