It was a good year for us. It wasn't a good year for the country in particular, I don't think. A lot of people got hammered economically. We have problems that it remain unsolved. We have a lot of violence in the inner cities. We have a bad president. By bad, I mean incompetent. So, we're in the greatest year there, but for us, we're doing really well.

And it's because we are separating, vividly separating from the corporate media, which, as you know, is absolutely falling apart. And the propaganda that they put out every day is stunning. It really is. We're never going to get to do that. We're always going to give you fact-based news analysis here. Anyway, next year 24, one of the most important, years in American history because of the presidential race. And we will be on that and cover it

responsibly. And that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So a new poll CBS out on Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two votes coming right up. And the first question of the candidates who are considering if the 2024 Republican primary caucus in your state were held today, which one of the candidates would you vote for? Okay. Trump 58, DeSantis 22, Nikki Haley 13, Ramoswamy, and Christi really out of the running. Okay? I expect Trump to have little trouble in Iowa, winning that caucus, which is on January 15. Okay?

Now, once that happens, DeSantis is gone. Can't continue because DeSantis put all his resources in Iowa, unless there's a stunning surge, which I don't believe there will be. DeSantis will have to hang it up. It doesn't have the money to continue. Then it is on to New Hampshire, January 23rd. This is again the CBS poll in New Hampshire of the candidates you are considering,

am I consider, 224 Republican primary in your state were held today? Which one of those candidates would you vote for? Trump 44, Nikki Haley, 29, DeSantis 11. The 29 number for Nikki Haley is a good number. Now, the Granite State, as I said in the message of the day, and I hope you read that every day. Just go to Bill O'Reilly.com. There's the message every morning for you.

You don't have to be a member. You don't have to do anything. It just pops right up. Nikki Haley getting 29% at this point in the Granite States, good number. Now, New Hampshire is never really particularly like Donald Trump, when for Biden. It is an independent state, and independents are allowed to vote in the primary in New Hampshire, which will skew the results a little bit. It's not just Republicans. Independents can vote as well.

okay so i expect nicky hilly to do well not beat donald trump in new hampshire i don't think that's going to happen but she'll do well she's got a lot of money she can continue um pretty much no matter what happens in iowa or new hampshire and she will so you would think then with a nice number like that for niki haley that she would then go on the network news and answer questions about her campaign, her vision for the country on and on. Well, half of that happened. So she was invited on ABC News, Jonathan Carl, who bills himself as a correspondent, but he really isn't. He's a commentator. And he hates Trump. And he wrote a hate Trump book, okay? But the ABC is still trying to peddle him as a correspondent. No. And I don't mind him hating Trump. I don't care

whether he does or not. But Haley comes in, and he's totally disrespect. to Nikki Haley, totally disrespectful to her. Roll the tape. I mean, he's running on retribution. He wants to go out and he talks about annihilating his enemies and using the criminal justice system to do so. What do you think of that? You guys are exhausting.

You're exhausting and your obsession with him. The thing is the normal people aren't obsessed with Trump like you guys are. The normal people care about the fact that they can't afford things. They feel like their freedoms are being taken away. They think government's too big. It's too big. I know y'all want to talk about every single word he says and every single tweet he does. Good for her. I mean, really, I'm starting to like her a little bit. You know, I know her a little, as I explained on this broadcast, and she always came across

a little uppity to me. Imperious is the word. But that was really good. Just shut him down. And Carl was like, you know, because he's not in there to get the audience. the ABC News audience, any information about Nikki Haley, couldn't care less about that. He just wants to hammer Trump. That's all. Well, just have a hammer Trump hour. Don't bring somebody in like Ambassador or Governor Haley, whatever moniker you want to use. Okay, so there's another poll out, Fox News, and Fox News historically has been very unfriendly to Donald Trump, even when I was there.

You know, I used to look at this poll, and the poll never matched, never matched would really happen. I think the election of 2022, the Fox poll was a little bit better. But before that, like out there in the ozone. Okay, so this is a 1007 registered voters, Democrat 44, Republican 42, Fair poll. first question how would you vote if candidates were Joe Biden Donald Trump Trump 50 Biden 46 wouldn't vote one interesting okay I'm going to read you a list this is question number two going to read you a list of potential candidates 24 Republican nomination so they're

polling Republicans here please tell me which one you would like to see as the nominee Donald Trump 69 percent up seven points since November. And that's because of all this legal stuff. That's exactly what this is. Okay, so he's 69%. DeSantis 12, Haley, 9, and others don't really rate.

Next question, 24, would you like to see someone else as a Democratic nominee, or would you like to keep Joe Biden? Would like to see someone else 54, Joe Biden 43, so even among his own party, they don't want him. And that's been clear for a while.

All right, last question. Some congressional Republicans are pushing for impeachment proceedings against President Biden. What is your view? It's legitimate, 49. Bogus, 48, don't know four. So countries evenly divided on the impeachment. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews, and you'll and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau.

You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576 or text bill to 998899. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine,

every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay. That's the memo, by the way. So I incorporated all that into the Talking Points memo. All right, the Democratic Party is desperate. You know, you know they are. And they are anticipating that Trump will be the nominee.

The Democrats are. So this is a statement released two days ago by the Biden campaign spokesperson, Amar Musa, never heard of Amar. I have no idea who he is. But this is what he says. Quote, tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted. Adolf Hitler, praise Kim Jong-un, quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president. on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy.

Now, that would be something like you would see in Mad Magazine. Remember Mad Magazine? That quote. That would be like that. Okay. So that's what the Biden campaign is going to be. Okay. Donald Trump is Adolf and anybody supports them or stormtroopers.

That's the theme. And now the Biden acolyte, are running out to CNN and MSNBC, and the network shows, but not as much, they don't have enough time. But MSNBC and CNN are pretty much the spear points for the Biden administration. So this happened December 16th on CNN. Go. This is, you know, this is fascist rhetoric, the worries about polluting the blood of the superior

race, go as a standard of Nazism. It's not just the Nazis, it's also fascists in Italy. Mussolini literally talked about killing rats to go back to Trump's use of vermin in an earlier speech. He talked about killing rats who would bring infectious diseases and communism into Italy. So, you know, this is fascist rhetoric, and he's using it for a very precise purpose. So I'm glad Mussolini got a little airtime, you know, because the Hitler thing get a little worn now. But let's get Mussolini in there a little bit with Iraq. And we get Francisco Franco on that. He kind of kind of come on in pretty soon, I would have think.

But this is what the message is. And I told you this before. This whole democratic machine is very well organized. Comes out of two or three political action committees on case. Street in Washington and they fax out their talking points of the day. And you could see it even if you just watch Fox News. You could see Juan Williams reads almost to the word. If you really want to know what the Democratic talking points is, you listen to Juan. Okay. And then there's a few other people who do that on Fox News as well. They get every morning they get this is what we want you to

say on the media. And they say it. Republicans don't really have. have anything like that. They're not nearly as organized as the democratic propaganda machine. So you will see so much of this Hitler Mussolini stuff coming up. You won't believe it. So finally, the Department of Transportation, that's Pete Buttigieg, takes action against an American air carrier, Southwest. Find him $140 million for last Christmas's meltdown. You know, when we were reporting last year, I told you you just fly at your own risk. JetBlue is horrible. Southwest is a debacle.

You know, so now $140 million. It breaks down this way. Southwest is to pay the U.S. government goes into the Treasury, $35 million in cash over three years. That's like $12 million a year. Not going to hurt Southwest, bottom line. okay so this is not what it means then the other 90 million is put into a fund anticipating other payments to passengers when southwest screws up again which it will look i told you this from the jump they don't have enough people because they don't pay decent salaries the airlines in america

so they're hiring people who can't do the job who can't even speak english you go to JFK in particular in New York, and half of the personnel cannot make themselves clear using words. You don't know what they're saying. Now, I'm not casting aspersions on them. They're hardworking people, but they're not paying enough the airlines to get professional people. The pilots and flight crews are good. It's safe to fly. But they don't have any backup. So if a pilot gets sick, forget it. All right. And if there's any kind of delay, it spirals down. It's disorganized. They don't know what they're doing. And they don't particularly care. But maybe this will make them care. Here's what Buttigieg said. Quote, this penalty should put all airlines on notice to take every

possible step to ensure that a meltdown like last December never happens again. All right, Pete, it took you three years plus. No, that's not a little less than three years because he got in with Biden on an inauguration day. A little less than three years to do anything. But you did it, and I'm happy you did it. Got to send a message. All right, so crime.

A.H. Datalix. I've never heard of this. It's a firm that analyzes crime stats. I don't believe these stats. The FBI stats, I believe. All right, so it says murders in the USA down 13% as of December 7th, year to year. Still a lot of murders, but not nearly as bad as 2022.

Okay. We don't have the exact. number. The number they threw out, this analytics firm is not true. Just give an example. According to the FBI, in 2020, last stats we have, almost 22,000 Americans were murdered, okay, in 2020. And this analytics firm has 8,000? No, this is wrong. But there is a trend of crime dropping, and I'm not sure why. So we're going to look at it. So we're going to look into it, we're going to wait for the FBI stats. But disorder in the nation cities is at an all-time high. So on November 13th of this year, at 2.30 in the afternoon, two NYPD officers approached

three men who were smoking marijuana and a subway station in the Bronx. A brawl ensued. I mean, we have it on table. We'll show it to you now. Okay. So the three men attacked Officer So John Hernandez and his partner, who name I don't have, and they hurt them. The officers were hurt. So they arrested two of the three assailants, Kareem McCleary, 23, Isaiah, Jessamy, 20 years old. The other guy got away. They still haven't gotten them. They showed up at court yesterday these two assailants, a charge with second degree assault,

that is the top charge in New York, and their trial was put off until the end of January. Why? Why? But here's the rub about this story. So the police benevolent association, PBA, is supposed to be sticking up for the cops, and it's supposed to be raising awareness of how difficult police work is, and at this point in New York City and other cities as well. the cops are in danger, physical danger, because the thugs know, even if they spit in a cop's face or curse at the cop or push the cop, nothing much going to happen to them. As we see now, these guys are out in O'Bowell. Okay. So the president of the PBA in New York City is a man named Patrick Hendry. Okay, we've been trying to get him on his broadcast for a month.

All right, he won't come on. Why? Why won't you come on and explain the terrible circumstances in which the NYPD have to operate? Why on earth? What are you doing? Patrick Hendry. So I looked around for a criminologist in this area, and we found a good one. Dr. John Eterno, he teaches at Malloy University on Long Island. he was a captain, retired a captain in NYPD in 2004.

He joins us now from Brockville Center. Do you say your name right, Eterno? Is that correct? Yeah, that's fine, Bill. Okay. All right, so you were on the job for 20 years. I mean, and in the time you were there, you saw the worst of it, the crack wars. And then you saw Giuliani and Bloomberg, two mayors, pretty much turn it around

so that the bad guys were on the law. run. Now it's arc back to the bad guys are ruling the streets. What is the essential problem in New York City as you see it? New York City has a number of problems. First, I think the mayor needs to get more behind the police. His rhetoric at times is backward. He needs to stand behind the police. Judges need to stand up behind the police. But most of all, politicians. There are a number of things going on in New York City. One of them being the city council is passing a bill that they want police to record every single incident. This is just crazy.

Every single thing. It's insane. What people, let me explain it, doctor. So the liberal city council in New York, any interaction that a police officer has with a civilian, police officer has got to go back to the precinct and write it up. takes them off the street. NYPD is undermanned as it is. And Mayor Adams, who's a former police officer himself,

may even cut the force down from here to pay for the migrants. I mean, this is so insane. But when the police union won't stand up and say all of this crazy political stuff is putting our officers in danger, doctor, can you figure out why that man wouldn't do that? I don't know. You have to ask him, but in my view, this is something you really need to advertise. You've got to get on every program you possibly can

and let people know how difficult the job being a police officer is, particularly in a democracy. The officers are the front line of democracy at work. This is what they do. And when they get attacked in a subway, for something as minimal as smoking, it's something that's an affront to the public, not just an affront to the officers themselves.

This is an affront to democracy. You know, when officers in the street get attacked like this, this is a... That's true because the last line of defense, the savages and the folks are the police. Did you feel in physical danger when you were on the job, doctor? Absolutely.

There were times where I've gone after people with guns, knives, people that spit at me but today it's very different with politicians you at that point in time

at that point in time you knew you get backed up by your union and most of the time by the police chiefs right Kelly and rat 100% Bill right 100%. But now

that the people behind me would back me up I knew the union would stand behind me and most of the politicians, I'm not going to say all of them, but most of them stood behind the police, particularly the state, many of these officers, something like bail reform was just unconscionable. People wouldn't even think of that. And letting these two thugs get out on being released on their own recognizance, this is crazy. They are violent, and it's a problem not just for police, but for the public and being safe,

just walking in the streets and walking in a subway, we don't have that protection that we should feel from our politicians, from our police leaders, from our union leaders. We need that protection. We need that. It's a difficult job as it is. But not to have that backing is unconscious. It is. And many people are backing off.

As a journalist who covered this city for decades, I've never seen this before. I've never seen a union president run and not stick up for his guys. You can spit in the face of a police officer now in New York City. You can curse it them, push them, nothing. You wouldn't even be brought in for that. These guys wailed on the cops and beat them, and they were in for maybe three hours, no bail, out doing whatever they want to do. So you've got to feel, and this is the last.

question. The people on the job, the cops on the job, they know nobody has their back. Last word. Yeah, there is no doubt that police officers is the front line of democracy. Unfortunately, they have no choice. They're out there. It's a tough, tough job. And unfortunately, for them, they don't feel back. And they need to feel that backing of the public, of politicians, and of their own leaders. And it's not happening. And that's why they're all leaving and mass. Hey, Dr. Merry Christmas.

Okay, Pew Research, pretty good outfit. 1435 American teenagers about the social media stuff. Okay. How often do you use the internet? Computer or cell phone. 93% every day. And 46% almost constantly. Okay, that's a lot. Obviously we all know this. If you have an urchin or they got this thing in their hand all the time. Second question, do you have access at home to a smartphone? 95% do. Laptop, desktop, 90%. Now, the importance of this

study is masked. Okay. I'm not going to be around. Many of you, won't be around in 25 years, okay, unless, you know, but probably not, which is fine with me, by the way, okay. In 25 years, this planet is going to be completely different than it is now, not for the better, because of the artificial intelligence and the high tech and the social media. So traditional ways to communicate, that's the first thing that's going to go. Speaking, I'm talking to you now, right to you. With words and gestures, I'm a real person. What I say to you is true as far as I can ascertain it. Gone. Big, big, profound change is coming. Okay? And it has it all to do with the Internet and now

AI. Here's one of the changes already here. A third of public school students in this country, 15 million children, chronically absent from school in the 21-22 term. Now, that's just coming off COVID. Be fair. But it has carried through. In New York State, almost a million students are chronically absent. in Florida, same number, almost a million, don't show up. California, 2 million. Texas, a million and a half. All this demonstrates is that parental guidance is evaporating. In my house, and I'm sure your house, 90% of my viewers and listeners,

If we didn't go to school, that was trouble. Big trouble. Now, 15 million kids in the United States are chronically absent from school. Now, what's going to happen to those kids? Some of them will get out of it to learn to be plumbers or something where they can earn a living, but many of them won't. And they won't be able to compete because they can't read. They can't do math.

They can't think. They can't speak. They're covered with tattoos. They use four-letter words every sentence. And that's not going to change, by the way. The corporate structure and how you make a living in this country, that's not going to change. You're still going to have to work. These people are not going to be able to do that.

Big, big trouble. Coming. Now, if you are a parent and you are derelict and you're not paying attention to your children, okay, that is the lowest. That is so bad. You pay attention to your kids and grandkids too. Harvard president's going to keep her job. Board of trustees said, ah, no, no, keeping Claudine gay.

Now, I don't care about clotting one way or the other. I'm not after her scalp. I don't care. all right, she is a devoted, progressive, woke person. She's everything that I'm not, but I don't care, one way or the other. Now, Harvard's keeping her for one primary reason. Unlike most universities, Harvard doesn't need any money. It's got, I think, a $700 billion endowment in a bank in investments.

Doesn't need alumni money. I'd need anybody's money. Ever. And aside, the first president of Harvard was the top witch hunter in Salem. Do you know that? Increase Mather.

A revering. First president of Harvard. Harvard's first college in the USA. Increases responsible for what happened in Salem, 20 human beings be hung. When I go to Cambridge, because I'm an alumnus, as you know,

of Harvard. I kind of spread that around. Now, will Dr. Gay prosper as president of Harvard? No. She will not. The college's reputation has been besmirched. And remember, it got the lowest rating of any college in America for freedom of speech. Harvard, under Claudine Gay. Finally, on this woman. There are charges. They were listed in a Washington Free Beacon that she plagiarized her doctoral thesis. Charges were leveled by a guy named Christopher Rufo and another guy Brunette. Rufo is what they call a point of view reporter. Now, I try to get him on this broadcast, but he can't be bothered. I don't like him, right, because I know what he does. He comes out with something in his mine and he's going to prove it no matter what. And on this case, he's a conservative guy,

Rufo. But he's not looking for the truth, as we mentioned earlier in the broadcast. They're not looking at what you're real. He wants to slam Ms. Gay. Now, I don't know what she did or didn't do. She denies it that she plagiarized. So at the Boston Globe, she didn't do it. But she should be afforded due process. Fair? Harvard doesn't care. I mean, it doesn't. She checks the boxes. She's a black progressive woman. That's what Harvard wants. She plagiarized. I don't care. We ever going to get to the bottom of it? I don't know. But I'm not going to convict her here. That's not fair. All right, Christmas, right? 13 days away. I'm not listening. I'm not listening. to a holly golly Christmas. I will not do it. You've got to have standards. Okay, I did listen

to Chuck Berry's run, run reindeer today. And I love Chuck. It was great. No holly golly. Not doing it. Okay. Anyway, travel. Smart life. Listen to me. a hundred and four million drivers are going to be on the road in the next 13 days and pass that into new year's week drive at night don't go during the day particularly if you live in a big city I mean you can't you just can't at night you got to check the weather you got to take a nap you got to be alert You've got to have stops, rest stops, get some food, get some coffee, whatever it may be. But believe me, you will just save hours of frustration if you go at night.

7.5 million are going to be on an airplane. Okay. You have lost control of your life when you get to the airport. You have no control. The only way to cope with this, because there are going to be delays. and some cancellations, is to bring a book that you like. Of course, the killing books are the best. You can get them on Kindle, an audio book, and a little earpiece you got,

or you ever had a regular book? And if you don't want the killing books, get a book that interests you. Because that gives you something to look forward to when you're just sitting on your butt doing nothing. This is not going to cut it for two, three hours. It's not. All right, this is all right for a few minutes. And you have to basically lower your expectations to zero. But if you have a good book, if you have something to read, that will make the pain less.

And we just want you to be safe. Okay, just be safe. And just look at the weather forecast. look at this, where you're going, and that kind of thing. But it's going to be the biggest travel in history coming up. All right, Disney raises prices in Disney World, Disneyland, poor kids can't go. Disney's progressive, but poor children cannot go to Disney World or Disneyland.

It's too expensive. I was going to do more on this. I'm not, it just shows you the rank. You figured they'd have maybe one day where the price will be lower if you book in advance. They don't. All right, another mass shooting. Mass shooting is defined.

We will remind you, okay, that a mass shooting is four or more people killed, shot by gunfire. Okay? So, Vegas happened yesterday. Four dead, including the shooter. He was 67 years old. Anthony Polito wanted to get a job at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. They wouldn't hire him. So he goes in with a handgun and shoots up the place for three people he murders.

No reason. Just shoots him up. Press goes wild. You heard about it, right? All right. So this year, so far, here are the stats from the Gun Violence Archive. There have been 632 mass shootings in this country. Eight of them were by a lone gunman nut like the guy in Vegas.

Eight. So that leaves 624 mass shootings done by criminals. drug gangs, bank robber gangs, whatever gangs. Now, you will never hear that from the media, ever. The lone gunmen, as heinous as they are, you baldy, you know how terrible, terrible. Florida shooting, Connecticut shooting, on and on. It's awful. These are loons.

These are mentally evil people. but there are a fraction. Most of the mass shootings are generated by criminals. You don't hear it reported that way because most of those criminals are black. That's why you don't hear it. And the reportage doesn't fit in to gun control that the media desperately wants. They want to keep guns out of the hands of the hands of, law-abiding Americans who need the guns to protect themselves. In fact, by percentage,

Jewish people are buying more guns than anyone else right now. But the media, very left-wing media, doesn't want you to be able to buy a gun. They know the criminal gangs will get guns no matter why. They don't obey the law. Gun control doesn't affect them. Just the price of the gun will go up a little bit, just to buy them. So you take away all the guns from the law abiding people, but the criminals still have the guns. And the criminals are doing 95% of the mass shootings. Does that make sense to you? That's what's happening. And it's purely a race thing that there's no reporting of it. That's it. I hope we're clarifying here today. That's what I wanted to do in this no spin news. All right, European Union scientists say

is the warmest year ever in the history of civilization. We're something like that. All right. Copernicus, Climate Change Service, found that the mean temperature, January to November of this year, 1.46 Celsius higher than any time else.

All right. I believe it. I believe it, too much gunk in the air, no doubt, too much gunk. And it might be natural things, El Nino, whatever, but it's getting hotter. And there'll be unintended consequences of that. But again, you don't destroy economic systems. It's an article on the Long Island paper Newsday today about the windmills. Billion dollar project, billions, because the windmills are 80 feet higher under the ocean.

Yeah, how many people are served by the windmills off the far east coast of Long Island? Seventy thousand. How much investment is in those windmills? Probably $3 billion. $3 billion to service $70,000. Okay, there you go. Taylor Swift named Times Person of the Year. Good for her.

However, within minutes of that selection, the racist disturbed people on the Internet started attacking her and saying, she's the person in the air because she's white. I saw this. I'm not even going to mention the names, but it was picked up. The Internet news information sites picked it up. Oh, she only got it because she's white. What are we going to stop this? The way to stop it, and I don't like cancel culture,

is just not to print this crap. But the Internet won't do that because they want clicks. That's what they want. Now, the corporate media blackballs people all the time. You know, we went through this. So Liz Cheney gets all of this exposure on CBS, the other networks because they're very hate Trump. She's on every show.

Mark Levin on any shows? No. Bill O'Reilly on any shows? No. They're never going to give Levin and O'Reilly any publicity ever. But, Liz Cheney, Cassidy Hutchinson, Rachel Maddow, come on in all day long. This is what it is, that censorship. All right. Well, let's censor these racists, right?

I don't know about you, and I'm really tired of this. All right, here is a final thought of the day. I was working yesterday at 5 o'clock when the 5 was on a Fox News channel. I got a call. Waters is touting killing the witches. Roll the tape. I was reading the O'Reilly book, Killing the Witches, which is amazing. And you can kind of see how it all starts. It was this frenzy driven by young people, young women. women were freaking out and going like this and labeling women. And then without any due process, the preacher or the sheriff would then hang them. And if you said you weren't a witch, that meant you were. And then they'd kill you. And behind the scenes, a lot of it when they were

fingering these women was because they wanted to steal their land. Very good assessment by Waters in Salem. There were a lot of widows. And the widows would get the land. when their husbands died. And a bunch of the women who were hanged by the judges and clerics in Salem had a lot of land. And when they were convicted of being a witch, the land went to the town and they divvied it up. So water's got it.

And it was nice to see them discuss killing the witches on the five. We appreciate that very much. Books of Phenomenon. And I'm very pleased. Martin Dugard and I put a lot of work into the book. And it's nice to see it pay off. We're approaching now 300,000 in sales. We might hit that by New Year's.

Phenomenal in this day and age when a lot of people don't read anymore. And you'll like the book. I mean, no matter what. No politics in a book. But the canceled culture and lack of due process is here today in this country. And that's why I wrote Killing No Witches.

Because the witch hunt, as Donald Trump reminds us, us and every speech is a reality in America today. We trace the whole arc. Okay, I'll have a new column on Sunday that I think you're going to like. We will be back next week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, then it's Christmas time for everybody. We're going to have really good shows next week, year-enders. And we really appreciate you watching, listening, going to Bill O'Reilly.com, all of that. and we'll see you again on Monday.
