Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, October 24, 2023, stand up for your country. Before we get to the Talking Points memo, a couple of breaking stories. I just want to bring you up to date on. Looks like the Republicans are going to nominate ministers. So to Congressman Tom Emmer, to be Speaker, he is what they call the House Whip. That sounds kind of ominous, but a whip is basically a rules guy. And he, or she, alerts Congresspeople to what the protocols are and things like that in their
Starting point is 00:00:49 own parties. So we tape in the late afternoon, as you know, and, you know, the Republicans are running around trying to get the votes. they need 217, some people don't like them. It's the same old stuff, but we're on. Secondly, a woman named Jenna Ellis, who represented Donald Trump in some legal matters after the 20 election has pleaded guilty
Starting point is 00:01:16 to Georgia election crimes. Apparently, she tried to persuade senators and legislators in the state of Georgia, not to certify the election based on false information. She says she was given the information by other people, but in a court of law, that doesn't stand. She got five years probation. Now, I'm looking into this a little deeper.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'll have a little bit more for you tomorrow, but as the third person convicted in the Georgia case. And now the memo, the ceasefire people. Okay? Are they worthy, or are they simply virtue signallers who know nothing? Here are some famous faces. You'll know them right away. Pope Francis, Channing Tatum, actor, Alyssa Milano, activist, actress,
Starting point is 00:02:14 Congresswoman Corey Bush, Congressman Rashida Talib. They all want to ceasefire, okay? And they say, no, no, no, no, we can't have the Israeli military go in and try to destroy Hamas. Can't do that. Well, let's go to the casual count first. October 7,400 Israeli citizens murdered by Hamas, 1400. Okay, almost 5,000 wounded. Israeli kidnapped and held hostage 222.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Americans killed 32, most of whom were living in Israel. Americans kidnapped 13, as far as we know. Could be more. Palestinians killed and injured, we don't know. because there's no reliable information coming out of there. Hamas controls the information flaw. You can't believe a word they said. Now, if Pope Francis had his way,
Starting point is 00:03:12 I assume all fighting would stop, all shooting would stop. Now, do I criticize the Pope for that? No, I don't. His job is to be a man of peace, so he would like to see all the killing stop. That makes sense, but it cannot stop. And now we go out of theological musings into the real world. See, the Pope doesn't really live in the real world. He lives in the theological world.
Starting point is 00:03:45 His job is to spread the gospel. He's not a politician. The others are whatever. I mean, the actors and actresses and the nutty congresspeople we mentioned, I mean, they all have their own agenda. But anyway, if there were a ceasefire, that means Hamas remains intact. It isn't destroyed. So what's to stop it from doing the same thing on Thanksgiving or Christmas or any day?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Now, if you're an Israeli citizen, you've got thousands. Thousands of people want to kill you, just a few miles away, armed with rockets, okay, because the ceasefire, there wouldn't be any capitulation of weapons. That's not a way to live. You can't run a country like that. I mean, come on. And I wrote the book, Killing the Killers, and I hope you read it. If you haven't read it, you know, you've got to get it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 If you really want to understand how the United States annihilated. ISIS and Al Qaeda. We annihilated them. We didn't cease fire. Same thing as the Third Reich. There's no difference between the Third Reich, the Nazis, and Hamas. They both wanted to kill Jews. What's a difference? No difference. Okay? So we annihilated the Nazi party. They surrendered unconditionally. We executed some of their leadership. We took all their weapons, and to this day, you cannot have any symbols of the Nazi party in Germany. It's against the law. So I'm not really understanding the ceasefire thing here at all.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Are these people dumb? Are they? Maybe. Do they not know that you can't go in and butcher women and children and then have a ceasefire? As I mentioned yesterday, did we have a ceasefire after 9? 9-11, we did not. The American people would never have stood for it. So anyway, to me, it's such a clear issue, but there's one more point that I want to make. And this is on the other side. Netanyahu and the Israeli government let their people down
Starting point is 00:06:11 by not getting enough intelligence to prevent this thing. They have to explain that to the world. They haven't thus far. Now, when the Israelis go into Gaza, and they will, they can't kill civilians. But Hamas are going to hide behind the civilians. You see? What they do.
Starting point is 00:06:41 So it's got to be patient and surgical. You've got to obey the so-called rules of war that came out of the Geneva Convention. That makes it very, very tough on the Israeli military, very tough. Because like the U.S. war in Iraq, you can't tell who's going to fire at you and shoot a rocket at you under the robes. You don't know. So it's a really difficult. So Israel's strategy has to be very selective. They've got to have targets dismantle.
Starting point is 00:07:23 They're looking for weapons caches. Obviously, you've got to hide those weapons somewhere. And then if they have identified Hamas terrorists, they've got to kill them. But you've got to take it slow. You can't be piling up bodies of women and children. in Palestine. Because then you'll lose. Israel will lose. Israel knows this. But it's one thing to theoretically say it like I am. And the other thing is when you're walking into Gaza, it's dangerous. So Israel can win this if it is ultra careful and smart. I don't have to do this in a day.
Starting point is 00:08:12 But you have to do it. And that's a memo. I hope I'm not excommunicated by Rome, but, you know, I got to tell the truth. And I think the Pope would admire me for doing that. He knows who I am. I don't know if he gets reports about what we say here, but he certainly knows. All right. So in New York Times admitting that it totally screwed up its hospital, Gaza hospital report,
Starting point is 00:08:41 by blaring a headline that Israel destroyed the hospital, which, as we now know, isn't true. So it is now verifiable evidence that the hospital was hit by a terrorist rocket. But the New York Times, when this all happened, boom, they said, Israel did it according to Hamas. According to Hamas? Come on. It's ridiculous. list. All right, here's what I said shortly after the New York Times put that headline out there. Go. Now, there is a way to report a story like this, and you come on and News Nation did it,
Starting point is 00:09:25 so you guys know. You basically say a hospital was destroyed. We have not been able to confirm who destroyed it. Each side is blaming the other. Is that unreasonable, Cuomo, to report the story that way? No. That's how you do it. That's Journalism 101. Now, the New York Times knows that, but they did it anyway. But now they're apologizing. Okay? Put it on a full screen. Here's their apology. Quote, given the sensitive nature of the news during a widened conflict and the prominent promotion it received, this is the hospital headline, Times editors should have taken more care with the initial presentation and have been more explicit about what information could be verified, unquote. Yeah, okay, well, that's yesterday you put that out. Took you two
Starting point is 00:10:17 weeks to figure that out? All right. Now, here's the reason the Times put out that editor's note. It's Jewish readership, very high, because New York Times publishes just for liberal people. No independence, no conservatives. It's 100% liberal paper. Everyone knows that. That's where they make their money. Their Jewish readership is just furious. That's why they put out that same thing. Now, maybe there's some editor in there who's contrite, but I haven't seen that person on any news program. Have you? I mean, if I'm the editor of New York Times, I go out and say, I'm sorry. This should never have happened. Do you have you seen that?
Starting point is 00:11:05 No. 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. Tharu, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, President Biden has nothing to do today. I mean, I'm almost tempted to call him up and say, look, I'll come on in and, you know, liven up your day.
Starting point is 00:12:52 We'll have a discussion, but nothing to do. 6 p.m. he's going to meet the prime minister of Australia and his wife. and tomorrow will be a big dinner, and we'll tell you about the dinner tomorrow. Those are always big dog and pony shows. But the president, you know, I guess he's watching the Middle East closely, which he should be. Hunter Biden, and that probe began again today, House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan. And they interviewed Martin Estrada, the U.S. Attorney in California, who refused to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss in investigating Hunterbott.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Boy, would I like to be in that Q&A, but it's private. I'm sure to leak out. We'll have it tomorrow for you. But there's Martin O'Srida. No, I'm not helping you out, Dave. Even though we're on the same team in the Justice Department, and where's Merrick Garland? Merrick could have picked up their phone and said, hey, Martin, you got to help Dave. No, Mary Garland didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Well, I want to know where Matthew Graves and Fatima Graves are. This is bigger than Martin Estrada. Matthew Graves is the U.S. Attorney in D.C. You also told David Weiss to take a hike. And there's his wife, Fatima, who's visited the White House about 28 times. Are you kidding me? What's that all about? Can we get those folks in there to the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Can we? All right. So I said in early September that this autumn was not going to be good for the President of the United States. Go. But let's get into the swing here because fall, it's going to be a really sketchy time for President Biden. And I don't know what's going to happen. I don't want to speculate and do all this stuff, but I know it's not going to be good. And it's not good.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And it's going to get worse. So the age and the disorder all over the world combined with the money to the Biden family, I don't know if he makes it to Christmas. I don't know. All right, crime, no punishment. Now, there is disorder in the world. That's what Ukraine and the Middle East is all about. Disorder, creating chaos, creating violence, murdering innocent people.
Starting point is 00:15:35 But in the United States, we got it. We got it in almost every urban center, all right? Disorder on the streets. So the National Sheriffs Association wrote a letter to the Biden administration on September 21st and said, hey, we need White House leadership to see. stop the growing disorder in America. Did you hear about this? I bet you did not. That letter from the Sheriff's Association got zero media coverage.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Now, they recommend five things that the White House do. Number one, combat illegal drug importation, close the open border. Number two, prosecute gun crimes. Number three, change the mindset of violators. That's impossible unless you punish them. So I'm assuming that's what the sheriffs want. Mental health crisis, again, law enforcement, that's not what the law enforcement does. And the final thing is reevaluate the failed experiment of Nobel, which is colossal in this growing disorder.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So I asked my staff, you know, find me a really good guest, and we did. But before I bring him in, and this guy's top shelf, all right, I'm going to give you my theory about the disorder thing, and it comes down to drug addiction. I'm backing the theory up with stats as I always do. All right, 80% of all criminal offenders in the USA abused drugs or alcohol. 80%, 95% return to drug use after they get out of prison. Each year in America, there are 600,000 victims of child abuse and neglect, 600,000 kids. All right? Most of those are children of substance abusers.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Okay, all right, that's one in eight kids. And finally, the National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare put out a stat that children remove from their homes, taken out by the state, all right, has risen from 13% the year 2000 to 20% now, one in five. So the scourge of drug addiction drives crime and it drives child abuse. Joining us now from New Jersey is Dr. John Shane. He's a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice 15 years there. And then before that, he was a captain in the Newark, New Jersey Police Department where he spent 20 years.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Now, Newark, New Jersey is an epicenter for narcotics use, and always has been. Poverty level there is high. So, doctor, I submit to you that in order to drive down public disorder and in order to get prime under control in the urban centers, you've got to be tougher on narcotics, importation, and drug use. Am I wrong? No, I think you have some valid points. Importation, trafficking are some of the most pernicious things that can happen at a local level. The reality is that the federal government, unfortunately, has very limited role in controlling
Starting point is 00:19:41 local issues. I agree 100% that they have to do things at the border, and not just the southern border, but the northern border as well. We see what's going on. All border. Let me ask you specifically, when you saw the first year of the Biden administration that there was an essentially open border with record amounts of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine coming across, wouldn't a guy like you, a professor at John Jay, or I'd say, maybe we should close that border and make it harder for the cartels to get drugs in here? Isn't it a logical progression? Not only that. That's something I study. It's called situational crime prevention, and the whole idea behind it is blocking opportunities for crime to occur.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Okay. And we know that hardening targets and those sorts of things relate directly to what the Biden administration has not done it after three years. Nothing. Well, Bill, the politics are rearing its ugly head. He has an ulterior motive, and he's not interested. What do you think that is? I think that is allowing a certain level of disorder at the local level to occur, and then coming in and trying to use government as the savior once they're here, and creating another class of addicted people, and that is addicted to government operations.
Starting point is 00:21:06 All right. You think that they're doing this almost intentionally so they can ride into the rescue. There is no rescue. Now, you know and I know that local police departments, like Newark, depend on block grants from the federal government. All right? Correct. Everyone, so really the feds have a lot of power in state and local decisions. They can cut off those grants. For example, in Philadelphia, all right? Where you have a DA, Krasner who won't just simply will not charge crime, criminals or crimes. And if they're addicted to drugs, they walk. Okay? Well, you go to a drug treatment. Oh, you do this. Oh, you beat up the old lady and you took all her money. That's okay. You're not going to do any time. You'll go to some phony drug rehab thing, not even inpatient, outpatient. You take your heroin and then you go on in for an hour. That's okay. Old ladies in the hospital, traumatized, life will never be the chain. Same. This is so outrageous if people understood how many
Starting point is 00:22:10 innocent United States citizens are harmed by drug addicts. And the drug addicts don't pay any price. The people you're talking about, Bill, the prosecutors and their associates are an extension of exactly what's going on with the White House administration. There's, there's no commitment to the certainty of punishment. Now, we've known for a long time in the research community that the certainty of punishment as opposed to the severity of punishment is deterrent to criminal behavior.
Starting point is 00:22:48 There has to be some element of certainty. The idea, which is what the NSA was getting at when they talked about changing behavior, this idea that it's almost certain I'm going to be punished if I get caught. and then fortifying police departments with the ability to actually catch people. And once they do, that there's a certainty of apprehension and there's a certainty of punishment. Those things are lacking.
Starting point is 00:23:14 The progressive movement, and I'm sure you see it in John Jay, okay, the progressive movement throws that out saying that if you do that, you're racist because most criminals are people of color. So therefore, they shouldn't be punished because society made them take the heroin, all right, and sell the fentanyl on the street. We're going to leave them alone. That's the mindset, correct? That is correct. There's a lot of that, and that is the overwhelming post-George Floyd sentiment. It seems that the entire criminal justice system is taking a beating over the action. of a rogue police officer in one city
Starting point is 00:24:02 that just should not have happened. They absolutely seized upon that, there's no doubt. Now, I wrote a paper when I was at Harvard on Singapore. I traveled to Singapore. They have no drug problem there. They have no social disorder in Singapore. It is a fascist country. Okay?
Starting point is 00:24:23 That has to be stated. But their basic law is this. if you are addicted to drugs and they can drug test you on the spot, they don't need a warrant or anything like that, okay? You go to mandatory rehab inpatient rehab. They have camps, not many anymore because there aren't drug addicts in Singapore. They all went to Malaysia, which lets you do what you want. Okay, can you see that ever happening in the United States
Starting point is 00:24:54 where if you are caught in a commission of crime, you have drugs in your system, you've got to go to mandatory rehab. You're off the street. The market collapses. I can see that as a consequence of conviction. Yes, I can't see it as an intrusion upon liberty at the behest of a police officer at the scene of something. Upon conviction, yeah, I can see that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:18 And it's probably not a bad thing. I agree with you. I would not, you have to have a presumption of innocence, but the conviction, all right means in addition to serving your sentence whatever it may be okay you got to go out because they're not going to i mean in new york and you know this you can you can you can hurt severely hurt a person all right trying to mug them or take whatever they want stabbing even stabbing them you're not going to do time you're not going to do time it's insane last word didn't didn't we see that with the uh the bodega uh homicide yeah yeah where the man was held
Starting point is 00:25:56 It's a classic example of that sort of thing, where the victim was the one that was charged with the crime. It can't happen. It cannot continue to happen. And the unfortunate side before there is any reform is that you're going to see more victims pile up. You bet. And then there'll be change. And at the top of that food chain is Joe Biden who does not care, in my opinion. Doctor, good discussion.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Thanks very much. We really appreciate it. All right, another record month for border intrusions, September, there were, let's get that number, 2.4. Oh, no, this is for the fiscal year, 2.4 million migrants in the fiscal year 223, which just ended. Okay? In September, we had, the stats are alluding me, 270,000 encounters in September, record, record. And every day, according to the Border Patrol,
Starting point is 00:27:06 1,125 people just get away. Now, I don't know where they come up with that. But this is another flood of humanity here. And just like crime, Joe Biden, nothing. How could you possibly vote for this man again? It wouldn't matter Casper the friendly ghosts were running against him. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides.
Starting point is 00:27:41 especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. All right. Economy. Bidenomics. Car owners falling behind on payments, highest rate ever. Okay. 6.11% in September 1st this year are behind 60 days on their car loans. Can't pay. Can't pay. Highest ever. Nobody had any money. Because they're paying all the money on the essentials. And Joe Biden, oh, Bidenomics are great. Okay? Smart life. So coffee. A lot of Americans are obsessed with coffee. I don't really know how this happened. In Britain, they're assessed with tea. They like their tea. But we dumped all their tea in the harbor and we went to coffee route. So in my town, four coffee places. You can pay as much as $12 for a cup of coffee.
Starting point is 00:29:40 average is about five. All right. And they don't even give you that big a cup. It's just like this. But there's a study out of the University of Singapore. Sorry about Singapore getting a lot of airtime. All right, 12,000 participants between the ages of 45 and 74. If you drink four cups of coffee, this study says that you will not be as frail in your old age. That the caffeine will fortify you and make you a macho or machet person. Machet would be feminine. Is that offensive? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Anyway, so four cups of coffee or tea, because tea has caffeine, are going to load you up because once you reach a certain age, you start to get more frail. Okay? Do I believe this? No.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But I don't have any data to back it up. So here's my take. Coffee is okay, but you don't want to become addicted to caffeine, and you can't. If you drink four cups of coffee, four healthy cups a day, you're going to get addicted to it. So don't do that. Also, if you drink coffee the latter part of the day, you're not going to be able to go to sleep. Decaf, okay, but four cups of caffeine-laden coffee, smart life, and plus if you buy it out, it's 20 bucks.
Starting point is 00:31:21 And you got to put a little tip in a jar too, or the person is going to give you the eye. So I drink one to two cups of coffee a day. All right? I do. Not every day. I never drink coffee in a restaurant. ever. Number one, it's usually bad. Number two, it's usually five bucks. I'm not paying five dollars. My coffee downstairs, here, I got the studio in my house, cost about 40 cents a cup.
Starting point is 00:31:56 It's good. Okay, so I'm not buying a study, but I could be wrong. Stay in history, October 24th, 1929, Black Thursday, you know what Black Thursday was? Stock market crashed. I mean, boom, okay? And millions of Americans were wiped out. How did it happen? So during the roaring 20s, where everybody was getting drunk on bootlegged booze, they're also buying stocks. And the stock market from 1921 to 1929, boom, way up, and people made money. So people started to buy stocks on borrowed money. They didn't have the cash to buy the stock, so they borrowed it. And then when things started to totter, they couldn't pay the money back. And then it started to mount. So 94 years ago today, the whole thing crashed.
Starting point is 00:32:57 There was no federal insurance in the bank system. And half of the nation's banks failed, 7,000. So if you had money in those banks, wiped out. I got wiped out earlier this year on Key Bank or whatever it was when I went bankrupt. I had stock. Stock went to zero. I lost my investment. I have a lot of it. Boy, was I angry. Ooh, because I had no clue, right? It was in trouble. But millions of Americans had all
Starting point is 00:33:35 their savings in these banks, the banks close, they're screwed. Now we have FDIC insurance up to $250,000. So if you have your money in the bank, you'll get it back from the federal government if the bank goes south. If you have more than $250,000, you have more than $250,000. You're lose it. Very important point. Anyway, the depression continues, okay? At one point, between 25 and 33% of Americans were out of work. Hard to tabulate it because there were a lot of money changing hands and bartering and things like that, but between 25 and 33 didn't have a job. And it was no welfare. And there were no food stamps. And there was no anything. Okay? So you, starved, Herbert Hoover president, when this collapsed. His thing was, I'm not helping him,
Starting point is 00:34:29 self-reliance. So FDR came in, four terms, turned it all around, but really, World War II. And this is an amazing historical occurrence. That put the economy and the stock market back on the growth pattern, because we had to make so many things to beat the Japanese and the Germans. okay so anyway the crash black thursday 94 years ago today all right i got a good mail segment and you know we try to do these final thoughts so they help you and we have one tonight all right rack in a moment let's go to the mail we got a concierge member larry didn't the u.n and the pope do similar to what the actors did virtue signaling they all impeachers now that the terrorists have done their killing and kidnapping right I mean that
Starting point is 00:35:24 that's what the memo was all about but I don't I'm not that cynical I don't think the Pope is sitting there in a Vatican going you know I I want pain to be come to Israel I these people including Pope Francis do not understand the world in my humble opinion the Pope understands theology He does, but he doesn't understand the world that we are living in now, where evil dominates over good. It does. D. Allen, Dallas, Texas, Big O, the United States is funding two wars. Ukraine and Israel.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Which war is more important? They're both linked in. See, I didn't object to Biden's speech where he. equated Ukraine with Israel because they're all about world disorder. All right, Putin, war criminal. How many thousands of people, innocent people have died because of Putin? War criminal. Boom, like this.
Starting point is 00:36:36 What he wants to do is just go in and subjugate nations. I'm going to do it. Okay, got to stop him. Amos, flat out terrorists. Flat out. And it's not revenge, it's retribution. There's a difference. Dave Z. Tokyo, Japan.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Hey, Bill, the media is obsessed with the 200 hostages being held by Hamas and expecting the Israeli force to change battle plans accordingly. As you report in your excellent book, Killing the Killers, terrorists are fond of killing hostages at the last moment before they're being rescued. The more value the media places upon the hostages, the more valuable they become to the terrorists. I don't know.
