This is the last day of this national security blunder. I hope, unless there's new stuff that comes out, I don't think there will be. I'll wrap it up for you fairly succinctly.
Starting point is 00:01:25 The media, of course, you know, they love that. this kind of thing. I recognize the importance of the story. And it is important because we can't have this again. And if it happens again, people are going to have to get fired. But let me walk through it where we are. But I believe today will be the end. For me, and responsible people, the hate Trumpers will try to drag it out as long as they can. All right. So let's review. That is the subject of this evening talking points memo. Apparently National Security Advisor Mike Walsz accidentally allowed a very liberal journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg from Atlantic Magazine, into the meeting which was on an app called Signal. It was a national security meeting, as you probably
Starting point is 00:02:20 know, discussing how to attack the hooty terrorists in Yemen. So there were dialing. Miles made, people, got on the thread, and one of them was Jeffrey Goldberg, and nobody knew it, because it was a mistake made by Walls. Now, there are unanswered questions here. How did you have Jeffrey Goldberg's number, Mr. Walls, he's a top Trump hater. That should be answered. And Goldberg himself should answer some questions to the FBI. I don't know why Cash Patel has a dispatched FBI agents to talk to Goldberg about how this all happened. It's national security.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Maybe it has happened and the press doesn't know about it. I certainly don't know about it, but it should happen. Goldberg should be interviewed by FBI agents, right? Okay. Now, Walswood on TV last night, Laura Ingraham, Fox News. roll the tape. Right? You've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So of course I didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is something we're trying to figure out.
Starting point is 00:03:41 So your, you're a staffer did not put his contact information. No, no, no, no, no. But how did it end up? Well, that's what we're trying to, that's what we're trying to figure out. Okay. But that's a pretty big problem. That is what, if there are numbers, we got the best technical not minds, right? That's just. And that's where. I mean, I'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where it was said one person and then a different phone number. Not me, because I don't do that. If I have a serious conversation, it's on a hard line where if you tap a hard line, it's a felony. I don't do signal.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I don't know what signal is. And none of our national security people should be using it either. Okay? because if Jeffrey Goldberg can get on it, so can the Chinese and the Russians. Okay? Aye, aye, aye. But at least Walsh owned up to it. It's in his purview.
Starting point is 00:04:40 But I want a little more information. And Laura Ingram did her job. I mean, she framed it the proper way. Now, I don't think anybody's going to get fired here, but Trump's embarrassed. And he's angry about it. I know that to be true. but it's not a scandal, all right? It's a blunder.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Okay, scandal is far, far different. But not to the hate Trump media. Go. Wolf, this hearing is going to be hijacked by this scandal, and that's really what it is for the Trump administration. We saw two Republican senators point to the fact that they plan to ask questions about this scandal inside of a closed-door hearing, which is going to take place.
Starting point is 00:05:23 later this afternoon. If anything, I would say the scandal looks worse for the Trump White House on the second day, even than it did initially. Now, over on Fox News, pundits were trying their best to downplay the scandal, though even there. A few had to admit that this is kind of a big deal. So what's the scandal that somebody made a mistake
Starting point is 00:05:46 and let this weasel Goldberg in? That's a blunder. There was no collusion, that would be a scandal. If Goldberg said, hey, let me into the thread and then somebody said, okay, we'll sneak you in. That's a scam. Some nitwit, dialing a wrong number or whatever happened, is a blunder. Now if it upgrades, and that's why the FBI needs to speak to Goldberg. All right. And that's a memo. Now, here's a media scandal, kind of. Wall Street Journal gets delivered to my door every day. The editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal are fair and backed with facts. The news pages tilt left, but not crazy. It's primarily a financial newspaper. There is a reporter,
Starting point is 00:06:49 Alyssa Corne, okay? She is a deputy bureau chief of the media team. Wow, got a big title. She's trying to stick up for Jeffrey Goldberg. Trying to say this man is credibility. As I reported yesterday, he was the guy who reported that President Trump, in his first term, went to Europe and said that U.S. soldiers killed in World War I were suckers. That never happened.
Starting point is 00:07:18 and I investigated it, okay? Never happened. But Melissa somehow writes, quote, in September 2020, Goldberg reported that Trump referred to soldiers killed in battle during World War I as losers and suckers, citing multiple anonymous sources. So they heard the remarks.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Trump contested the reporting, though his chief of staff at the time confirmed he had used those words. Not true. Not true. The chief of staff was John Kelly. Now, Kelly excoriated Trump because Trump fired him and called Trump all kinds of names, but never said
Starting point is 00:07:58 that we can find, and we did a big search, that Trump said dead World War I soldiers were losers and suckers. And a guy in the room who also hates Donald Trump. You know him, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, Said this, go. And according to what that article said, the president made disparaging remarks about our soldiers, that people buried at the Anmarne Cemetery,
Starting point is 00:08:28 in connection with the decision for him not to go to the ceremony that was planned that afternoon. And that was simply false. I don't know who told the author that, but that was false. Okay, that was false. And Bolton was there, following Trump around. the whole day. And then I talked to myself, the other people who were there, nobody, heard that, even anonymously.
Starting point is 00:08:56 So we have misreporting terrible journalism on the part of the Wall Street Journal. I'm surprised, I'm disappointed. So Mr. Holman, I've noticed when you appear on the network news and some cables that the questioning is often hostile to you. you. It's not neutral questioning. It's like, hey, what are you doing? How many people did you throw out today? And I'm sure you noticed that too. And I'm saying to myself, why? Do you have any idea why that so many, so many of the American press corps are antagonistic to you? This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chau, a new kind of flavor sparkling water. The kind made with real fruit juice, a pinch of Sicilian salt, and the sparkle of the
Starting point is 00:09:50 Italian sun. With no added sugar and just 10 or less calories per can, enjoy with love from Italy. By San Pellegrino Chau now. The Red Hot Clarence event is on right now at Burlington, and I'm excited for the markdowns. It's all about savings on top of savings throughout the store. This is when I stock up on styles from my closet, home decor, and much more, because there's up to 70% off other retailers' prices on clearance. I mean, I'm going every day because these prices, too hot to miss. Burlington deals, brands, wow.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Styles and selections may vary by location. Well, I think it's because I served President Trump. I mean, you know, when I work for, I was a third in command of ice under Barack Obama. We had over 409,000 removals, and they weren't hostile then. So I think working for President Trump makes me hostile anybody that serves President Trump. But look, I'm proud to work for President Trump. I think he's the greatest president in my lifetime.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And especially when it comes to border security and immigration enforcement and national security. So they don't bother me. Look, if I can deliver their heads rent free, I'm okay with that because I'm going to keep telling the truth, whether they like it or not. My talking points never change. I don't care if I'm talking to a conservative or talking to liberal. They're going to hear the same thing because what I give them is facts. They can like it or not like it, but they're going to hear the truth. Okay, but they don't like it.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Now, when you were working for President Obama who deported more undocumented people than any other president in history, all right? And most of those were at the border that got kicked back fast, and they didn't have this asylum con that they rose up under President Biden. When you were working for Barack Obama, in my research on him from my book, Confronting the President's, he didn't want an open border. He didn't want chaotic immigration. Am I correct there? Well, his first term, like I said, we removed a lot of people in the first term, and largely because we're accounting board patrol removals with ice removals,
Starting point is 00:11:58 and that's how come the number got so big, but he was pushing for that. He was pushing for more removals. But under the second term, the Obama term, we pretty much got shut down. I mean, once he got the named Deporter-in-Chief, operations really slowed down. And that's one of the reason at the end of that administration that I decided to retire. Because after four years doing that, I was tired of it. But in the beginning, he was about securing the border. In the last four years, he was not.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And you think it was political pressure, obviously, from the left that caused that? Absolutely. Okay. Now, one of the beefs against Homeland Security is they are not, they are deporting non-criminal migrants along with the criminals. And I believe that's true to some extent because how could you possibly know when you go sweep a whole bunch of people, say you're a criminal migrant married to a person who isn't a criminal, stuff like that? How valid is that criticism that ICE is now deporting people quickly without due process that aren't criminals? Well, they all get due process. I mean, the non-criminals, where does most of non-criminals get arrested?
Starting point is 00:13:12 Sanctuary cities. And I've said this for two months. Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don't want, more agents in their communities and more collateral arrest. Because if we can't arrest a bad guy in the county jail, one agent arrest, one criminal alien, and they're going to release them, like the major cities this country, sanctuary cities.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You're going to release them back in the community? Okay, fine. We're still going to do our job, which means we're going to go to the community and we're going to find him. And when we find them, most likely they're with others. Others that are illegally in the United States,
Starting point is 00:13:39 but not a criminal. Well, we're not going to tell ICE agents, forget the oath you took, ignore the immigration law, walk away from these people. No, they're going to come too. So when you look at the collaterals and non-criminales,
Starting point is 00:13:50 most of them arrest those, because they forced us in that position. We're going to arrest them. That's an important point. So when you do a sweep, if you find a non-criminal migrant, that person gets taken into custody, correct? Yeah, to be clear, when we do a target enforcement operation, we know exactly who we're looking for,
Starting point is 00:14:10 and we're most likely we're going to find him. And when we go to that location, look for that target, that criminal target, many times, most times he's with others, especially if that at a work site, they're coming to. So sanctuary cities are forcing us into that. situation. So if you, I've said this many times, let us in the jail. That means more, less agents in the neighborhood. That means less collaterals, but they refuse to assist ice. So we're
Starting point is 00:14:32 going to keep doing what we're doing. Just to be clear, when you do an enforcement sweep, it is based upon information provided about criminal aliens. Is that correct? Local, state, federal information, right? That's exactly right. Okay, stop. I want to call the sweep, Bill. I called a target enforcement operation. We have a target or we've got a sheet. Who's the alien's name? What's his immigration record? What's his criminal record? We're most likely where we find them and it has to be approved by supervisors.
Starting point is 00:15:02 We go on the street, look for somebody. We have a whole frigid of operation sheet that details who this person is and we're looking for. And where do you get that information? From the states, from the locals? Where does that come from? Through various databases that we use at ICE. I can't tell you all of them for the law enforcement sensitive, but
Starting point is 00:15:17 we do targeting based on criminal databases. We use all the social media. We use a lot of things I don't want to discuss here, but we create those target basis. So you get this stuff, and if there's an undocumented alien who is not a criminal, they get swept up, they get deported sometimes, and it depends on the process. Am I correct? Yes. All right. Now, Michelle Wu in Boston is heading for collision with Tom Holman, who is speaking to me right now. Again this weekend, she basically said, we're not We're not going to cooperate on any level.
Starting point is 00:15:54 We want undocumented people in the city of Boston. And she's backed up by the governor of Massachusetts, Mora Healy. Do you have any plans to take action against Mayor Wu and Governor Healy? Actually, you're the first show where I can make this announcement. So as I promised at Seaback, I was going to go to Boston. I'm going to bring hell with me. And we did.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I was in Boston the last Tuesday. I started an operation with ICE, HSI, ERO, FBI, ATF, D-EA, U.S. Marshals, and the State Department. And in a five-day operation, we arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston and the surrounding communities in Massachusetts. And 205 of those were significant public safety threats, including four murderers, child rapists, armed robbers, a couple Interpol Red Notice Arrest. We arrested a lot of bad people in the last five days in Massachusetts, many of them in Boston. We just put the numbers again today. You're the first show I've actually been able to talk about this. The numbers just got put out today, Bill.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Excellent. But Ms. Wu is defiant even in the face of those incredible stats. And they are incredible if you know the city of Boston. It's not New York City. It's not nearly that large. So I'm wondering whether the next step for the Justice Department, it wouldn't be, it would be the Attorney General Bondi, is going to go after people like Michelle Woeh for violating some tenant of federal law. You believe that will happen? I hope it will happen.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I know Pam Bonney's already put sanctuercities on notice. I know she's already sued a couple. I sent that report to Pam Bondi this morning and who we arrested in Boston in the surrounding area and the public safety threat that we had to take off the street because if we got to go to the street
Starting point is 00:17:52 and rest people like this, the job of ICE is already dangerous but to go arrest an aggravated felon murder public safety threat in the general public, not only puts the officer at risk it puts the community at risk. So I sent the numbers this morning to DOJ
Starting point is 00:18:07 so I think Pam Bonnie would take action and do what she can do but she's already started soon in Sanctuary City So, you know, God bless Pam Bondi. I think she's going to do the right thing, and I think she's going to try to hold these sanctuary cities accountable in courts. All right. So it'll be civil litigation, not criminal litigation, correct?
Starting point is 00:18:25 I'll leave that out to Pam Bondi. We'll see what happens. But it would be amazing to see, you know, a big city mayor or a state governor, like Pritzker in Illinois, or even, you know, here, Hokel in New York, she plays a double game. The damage that the Biden administration did to the country, and I know this is a political question, but it has troubled me from the very beginning, seems to me to be incalculable as far as the Treasury is concerned, crime is concerned, social upheaval is concerned.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Do you have any idea why Joe Biden opened that border for three and a half years? Do you have any idea why that man did that? No, I can only guess, and I've said many times I work for six presidents starting around Reagan. Even when Clinton Obama took steps as we discussed to try to take action and secure the border, no one did more than President Trump. He was unprecedented in his success.
Starting point is 00:19:25 He had the most secure border in my lifetime. But Joe Biden's the first president in my lifetime who came in office and unsecured a border on purpose. That wasn't mismanagement. It wasn't incompetence. He knew exactly what he was doing, along with Alejandro Mayorkans. But there must be chat, though.
Starting point is 00:19:39 There must be chat in Homeland Security and in the Border Patrol precincts about the why of all this. What did he think he was accomplishing? I think they saw a future political benefit and that millions of people into this country. Remember, when he did everything to secure the border, what else did he do?
Starting point is 00:19:57 He overturned the Trump census row, which means millions of people released in sanctuary cities will be counted next census, which will lead to more seats in the house for the dams. I think they saw a future political benefit by releasing millions of people in sanctuary cities in this country. That is my belief. Final question.
Starting point is 00:20:13 California is 50% of the undocumented migrants. Newsom is now backpedaling, as you know. But L.A. and San Francisco are still sanctuary cities. Do you expect anything to change in California? I can tell you, ICE is going to, we'll be going to L.A. and San Francisco very soon. In sanctuary cities, we can't arrest a bag. guy in jail, we'll double the man force in those cities. But we're going to do our job, sanctuary or not. If you're a sanctuary you want to step aside and watch us, protect your
Starting point is 00:20:45 communities, then have that. Just don't get in the way. Don't cross that line of ignoring, harboring, concealing, illegal aiming. Don't cross that line of impeding us because there will be consequences. But we're coming. We're going to do this job. President Trump promised American people we're going to do this. American people giving a mandate. This is the number one issue. We're going to keep President Trump's promise. We're going to be going to every sanctuary city and arresting public safety threats, because that's what the American people want. All right. Unless the court, Supreme Court, says you can't do a certain thing, you're not going to defy the federal court order, correct?
Starting point is 00:21:18 No, we're not going to do that. We're not the Biden administration who ignored the courts on forgiveness of a student loan. They told me he couldn't do it. He did it, and he fought him every step of the way on that. No, this is a law and order administration. We're going to do the right thing. Absolutely. All right. Mr. Hohman, you're welcome anytime. Thank you for for taking the time to talk with me today. Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. I want to thank Mr. Holman again for being kind enough to come in here.
Starting point is 00:21:43 We know everybody is after him for an interview. Now, I'd like you to tell me what to thought of that interview. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish to apply. Bill at Billo-Oreilly.com. Good, bad, too hard, too soft. Did I leave anything out? You know, give me your review.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I like those reviews. Joining us now is a guy who's going to give me a different point of view, which is what we want here. His name is Dr. Seth Wright. He is an assistant teaching professor of political silence at Penn State University, Harrisburg. Am I making any mistakes here, doctor? Well, you mentioned that the one who might, the one who might revitalize the Democrat Party is Michelle Obama. I would disagree. I am watching the governor of the Commonwealth, Governor Shapiro, and he's been going public.
Starting point is 00:22:42 He's governed over a divided government in the past, has very broad support here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and he might be the one to step up to the plate and revitalize the Democrat Party on a national level. He would have to do, he has to start tomorrow. tomorrow. It's when he'd have to start because nobody knows him. And it takes a very, very long time for a politician to get known in the United States because of the intrusion of the cell phones. It's not like it used to be. We live in a Balkanized media world. It's very hard for people to lock in. And you're correct. I like Governor Shapiro in a sense that I think he's an honest man. But for the American people to come to know him, extremely difficult ride.
Starting point is 00:23:35 He's going to have to raise a billion dollars, and I don't know if he can do that. That's the real story here, right, beyond the polling numbers. Simply put, Democrats, for at large, have a serious identity and storytelling problem. Folks who are being surveyed about the likeability or favorability, of the Democrats, they're not just mad about nothing. They may be mad because they feel Democrats aren't addressing what matters to them, whether that's immigration, prices that are too high, peace in Ukraine, or Gaza, global conflict, or just the sense that the world is spinning dangerously off access.
Starting point is 00:24:20 The idea that birds of a feather should vote together, the vote blue no matter who messaging, this no longer resonates. So this trend we're seeing isn't disapproval, it's disengagement. Well, I disagree with you now. I think it's disapproval of Biden and Harris, Biden's administration and Harris's campaign. I think most Americans, so my belief, and maybe I'm wrong about this, but I don't think so. Most Americans are not ideological. Put us in a box.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Go ahead. That just gives us something to break out of. Because the next generation 2025 GMC terrain elevation is raising the standard of what comes standard. As far as expectations go, why meet them when you can shatter them? What we choose to challenge, we challenge completely. We are professional grade. Visit gmc.com to learn more. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobil.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month. month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. A front payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. New customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com. They're not. They just want to earn a living and have a happy life and be responsible and raise their families and you're right they don't want all this turbulence all over the place but they're not wedded to a party the fastest growing party is the independent registration as you know
Starting point is 00:26:04 so but they see performance and Biden was so horrible and Kamala was such a poor candidate that that's what drove or is driving the democratic numbers down one of the key functions of a political party is to develop new candidates and this is one area where the Democrat Party totally fumbled the bag back to some of the recent polling 27 percent of respondents in recent polls hold a favorable view of Democrats the challenge with any kind of poll analysis is finding the Mo Joust, the right words to understand voter sentiment. Democrats are Brussels sprouts popular right now. 27%. That's a low opinion figure, usually reserved for people who wear socks with sandals. That's how unpopular they are right now. So developing new candidates. But that's
Starting point is 00:27:10 based on performance, not perception. You see what I mean? You're unpopular. You're unpopular. If you're playing for Penn State and you fumble a football four times in the first half, you're unpopular. That's what happened to the Democratic Party. Their policies was so terrible. And as I pointed out earlier, you didn't hear Bernie Sanders or Casillo-Torquez go, yeah, we shouldn't have an open border. Everybody got behind Biden. And then when they found out that he was out in the ozone layer, they bailed on. But I think performance is driving it down.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Last word. What I don't know is whether anyone inside of the Democrat Party machine still has a wrench in hand or if the engine's just running on groupthink fumes. Because when a system is really humming along without resistance, without any kind of challenge or someone yelling from under the hood that the timing's off or the belt slipping, It doesn't matter how polished the dashboard looks. They're going to miss what matters. You forget why the engine was built in the first place.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Consensus is dangerous when there's a dearth of deliberation. So what I don't know is who in the Democrat Party is going to go ten toes down, is paying attention, and is ready to stand on business. Yeah, I don't know either. I think Shapiro, as you pointed out, is doing a good job in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. but he does another power now he doesn't have the money he doesn't have the profile so i'm not sure whether he's going to be the guy hey doctor thanks very much we appreciate your point of view thanks for coming on media madness so we do this segment every night pretty much and i know a lot of you are bored with it and don't care about the media i understand um but the danger that a disintegrating
Starting point is 00:29:03 media poses to a free society is substantial and you should know the bigger picture here Now, President Trump doesn't like certain media, and I don't blame them. And I would probably do similar things if I were president, because the media's attacked me, long before Donald Trump, by the way, long before, in a vile, vicious ways, because I'm so powerful, and they don't like what I say, the liberal media. All right. So today, the Associated Pressure had been banned from the Oval Office in the White House grounds because Trump believes they don't report fairly on him, which is true. They don't. It's true. Okay. But Trump used the Gulf of America, Gulf of Mexico stuff to say, well, if you're not going to abide by an executive order, because remember, Trump's not an executive order. Now, it's now the Gulf of America. But if you're not going to buy-bye, you can't be here at the White House. That was the excuse to boot them.
Starting point is 00:30:10 So the Associated Press went into court to debt to get the ban lifted by the judges. I don't know if they're going to be able to do that. The President of the United States has a right to regulate what media is on his property. He's in a White House, right? So I don't see that, but maybe it'll happen. So the AP wants to use the course to get back in. At the same time, and I did not know about this, the Federal Communications Commission
Starting point is 00:30:42 is looking at Disney, Comcast, and other left-wing media organizations. And they're using the DEI stuff. Remember, the president signed an order saying anybody dealing with the federal government cannot practice diversity, equity, equity and inclusion. And if you do, you can't deal with the federal government at all. That's the law, executive order.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Well, now Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, says, is looking at Disney and Comcast and Verizon as violators of this executive order. Whoa. Now, I knew this was going to happen because I had an extensive 90-minute conversation with Donald Trump on January 2nd about the media. I can't impart everything that went on. It was a private dinner, but we talked at length, and he asked me questions and I answer him honestly.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Because I know all of these people, as I told you yesterday, I know everybody at PBS. I know who they are. I know how they operate, all right. Been in this business 50 years. I can't believe it, but it's true. I'm the last man standing from my class of journalists, the last one. Britt Hume, maybe he's a little bit more than me.
Starting point is 00:32:21 So I shouldn't say the last one. Hume is there. Anyway, and I told President Trump, I answered his questions honestly, and I told him about the culture of Disney, the culture of Comcast, the culture of PBS. Now, what do I mean by that? If you work for these organizations, you must tow their line or you are not going to prosper. I worked at CBS under Dan Rather. I worked at ABC under Peter Jennings. I know this. Now, those cultures have changed. Jennings is a tough guy. Social liberal. but he didn't want any ideology in reporting.
Starting point is 00:33:03 He's very disciplined, very fair. Rather, not so much. Rather was a committed liberal. And he did inject his politics into the CBS presentation, which drove Walter Cronkite crazy. Because remember, rather took over from Cronkite. He was a liberal, too, but he didn't like that. I know all this. I was there.
Starting point is 00:33:28 So then the culture of Disney and the culture of Comcast NBC went even further left when I started the O'Reilly factor because Fox News was so successful in presenting a traditional point of view to the American public. The others went, well, we don't believe in traditional points of view. We love liberalism, so let's double, triple, quadruple down on our liberalism, and that's what they did. I would never get hired today by Disney or Comcast, even though I could make them tons of money.
Starting point is 00:34:07 They wouldn't hire me. They won't even put me on CBS Sunday Morning Show to talk about my books, which are the best-selling non-fiction books in the world. And I called out Jane Pauley, but Jane Pauley is part of that culture. You cannot prosper. inside these major media corporations unless you are a left winger.
Starting point is 00:34:36 And I'll tell you you can't prosper inside of Fox News unless you're traditional conservative. But it's not quite as onerous at Fox. They need outside and there are a few voices on the left there. And they're usually responsible voices, in my opinion, I don't know any nuts down there. So anyway, Trump knows he's never going to get a fair cut from Disney or Comcast, ever. They're always going to try to hurt him. So he says, okay, you won't play that game? FCC is going to look at you now, and that's what's happening.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Now, if you disagree with my analysis or I can bill at bill o'Reilly.com name in town, but what I've told you is absolutely the truth. It's all to do with the corporate culture. All right, and here's an interesting footnote to this. Pugh put out a poll on whether tax money should go to NPR, PBS. All right? More than 9,000 Americans' poll, question is, would you stop federal government funding for NPR and PBS?
Starting point is 00:35:46 So stop it 24%. Continue the funding, 43%. No. Don't know 33%. They don't know what NPR and PBS is. I don't know. No, because NPR and PBS are in business to promote liberalism. Why should I, if I'm not a liberal, pay for that?
Starting point is 00:36:14 You're forcing me to pay for that with my tax money. No, that's not democracy. Smart life. Okay, so the NoSpin News, Bill O'Reilly.com, our whole independent news operation is just about eight years old. I can't believe that time went so fast. We are the most successful independent news agency in the world. And that takes in profits, it takes in millions of views, whatever. There's nobody close to us.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Now, some of these podcasts, they get a lot of attention, but they're podcasts. They're like, yeah, sit around and they're sweatshirts. This is a news organization. We abide by the journalistic tenants, and we are, there's nobody that comes close to us. And we're all over the world now on YouTube and things like that. Anyway, if you are a member, a concierge or premium member of Bill O'Reilly.com, you get special privileges, including discounts on all our stuff. And you get a free book when you sign up.

So you really get it free. We have a 90% retention rate. Nobody in the business says that on any product. 90% of people sign up for concierge and premium membership re-sign. Re-up.

In order to prosper, you need to know these things, particularly with the economy. I'm right on this tariff business. I am watching everything that happens so I can tell you what's likely to happen in the grocery store, at the gas pump, things like that.
Starting point is 00:39:20 things like that. So that's why we have a 90% retention rate. Smart life, you're in good shape if you are with us.

Starting point is 00:39:44 So that's our pitch eight years into this experiment. You know, when I left Fox News, I took five people with me from FNC in various capacities. And they are still the core of what we do here because I train them and missing that. And that's why we're where we are. Michelle Obama has a hydration drink with Stephen Curry, the basketball player. It's called Pleasy. Please, something. something, P-L-E-Z-I, please, hydration. And it has more potassium, half the sugar, left sodium,
Starting point is 00:40:29 Michelle says, comes in three flavors, and it's $2.29 a bottle, whoa, whoa, that's a lot for an energy drink. But it doesn't have the sugar, so I'm happy. No added artificial sweeteners, and pleasing means fun and creole. Or it's it, please, I don't know what it is. But the interesting part of the story is that Michelle Obama is a capitalist to the nth degree. Sorry about the cliche. Three mansions, I mean, big, nice mansions.
Starting point is 00:41:07 And a fourth working in Chicago on the library front. And now she got a hydration drink. This is not Bernie Sanders here. This is, come on. So I thought you would like to know. Stephen Curry is a really good basketball player, Golden State. They're in business together. I might try it, but boy, $2.29 a bottle.
Starting point is 00:41:38 So here is the final thought of the day. The Three American Show on Sunday at 3 p.m. We're going to do a bunch of things there. It's not just the live tour. I'm shooting it for television. Now, what does that mean? I'm shooting a pilot because I believe this concept is really, really strong. And we're going to see if somebody wants to stream it based upon the show.
Starting point is 00:42:05 It's number one. Number two, we are going to show you some of the clips on Monday. Not a lot because we want you to come to the show. But there will be a pre-game huddle with Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo, and me. We're going to shoot that, and the audience wouldn't even see that, but you will on Monday. And we're going to lay out what we're going to do. We're going to have that. So it's a special situation.
Starting point is 00:42:34 And I think what I'm going to show you on Monday is the Q&A with the audience. That should really be wild. You have three separate guys with three separate philosophy. And the questions that are going to come in, and I'm kind of the moderator here, it's my production company that's doing this. So I'm going to show you a little bit about that and see, you know, the flavor of it and how it goes. The guys are primed. They say they're bringing their A games. I said, above all, we want to have fun.
Starting point is 00:43:04 We're going to have a lot of good information, but it's going to be a fun, enjoyable, entertaining program. We're going to do it. And best case scenario is everybody is a blast at Sunday at 3 on Long Island, and then we take the tape and somebody buys it. So we do this on a kind of semi-regular basis for the world because the world needs non-quire stuff. What drives me crazy, and I've said it before, I'm sorry to be redundant, is when I was working at Fox, the factor, I looked for the best guess I could get that opposed my point in view. My orders to my producers work, find the smartest person who disagrees with me. And let's see the debate, and then people can decide which argument is stronger. We still do that to this day here.
Starting point is 00:43:52 That's God. It's the choir. Every guest agrees with the host, no matter what channel there it is. This is very, very little. Now, CNN has ejected this guy Jennings into their proceedings. He's pretty good, but he's outnumbered five, six to one. And by the time you get to them, everybody's like, oh, jeez, right on. And that is really boring to me.
Starting point is 00:44:18 That's why I don't watch a lot of news, television news, or the networks or the cable. It's dull. It's predictable. We are not. This show will not be predicted. I don't know what's going to happen on Sunday at 3. Go to billowrelly.com if you want to see us. We've released 15 VIPs so you could meet the three of them.
Starting point is 00:44:40 us after the show why anyone would want to do that it's beyond me but all the VIPs sold out real fast oh you get a picture and you know we chat a little bit um so anyway this is going to be an interesting weekend for moi which i think it's french from me thank you for watching the no spin news and listening on our radio stations we'll see you Monday
