Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, April 13th, 2022, stand up for your country. It is all over for the Biden administration. They are not going to come back. I don't think it's possible. now. Before the Biden administration, it turned things around so that the majority of Americans would have confidence in it or the president himself. And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. First, the facts. All right. Producer prices. Those are prices that

wholesalers and businesses pay for products and services. Okay? Producer prices up 11.2 percent from march 22 this year march 21 the highest year-to-year increase in wholesale prices ever ever okay so now all of those prices are going to be passed on us the stores everything you buy i went to the deli today turkey sandwich used to be $7.50 at the deli that I go to, okay? 10 and a quarter. 7.50, a couple of months ago, $10.25 now. Okay, so it doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or an independent or an anarchist or whatever it doesn't matter. Everybody in this country pays more money. Working class and poor people don't have much disposable income anyway. and they don't have the reserve.

So this just comes right out. Yes, there's low unemployment, man. That's good. You want a job, you can get a job in America, okay? But your salary is not keeping up with the expenses. That is the overriding issue in this country. It's way stronger than COVID or Ukraine, or even the border, the border is just staggering,

but day-to-day expenses. are the most important thing for votes. So Jimmy Carter's presidency, those of you are around, 76 to 80, destroyed by his mismanagement, Carter's mismanagement of the economy. Now, Jimmy Carter was the governor of Georgia. He was elected, okay, because Americans didn't really like Gerald Ford, who pardoned Richard Nixon after Watergate. Ford was far more experienced than Jimmy Carter, but Carter was a good campaigner, and they said, hey, you know, let's give the Democrats a Carter a chance. Carter had no blank and clue about macroeconomics. He didn't understand it. He didn't know what to do when things started going south.

Biden's worse than Carter. Biden has no idea about the marketplace, about how everything was. works. And I'm going to prove that to you. All right, the inflation rate right now is 8.5%. This is incredible. So if it continues this way the next three years, 8, 16, 24, add 150, 25%. So the dollar you have now in your wallet is going to be worth 25% less if this continues in three years. 25% of your whole portfolio, of your worth. Okay? And is it going to happen? I don't know what's going to happen, but things are getting worse.

And you know what Biden says? It's Putin's fault. Putin did it. The Putin price crisis. I don't think there's anybody. Honestly, if they were honest and they're not, the left isn't honest generally speaking by that okay so this is catastrophic and i'm that's not hyperbola for the american workers and the poor catastrophic and the Biden administration will

try to give away more money to families and the poor to try to get the edge off but that'll cause more inflation. More money they print and give away, the higher the inflation goes. That's how they're going to try to save themselves. But it's all going to ground to a halt in November when the Republican Party takes control of the House and Senate, which it will. Because people aren't going to be voting for the Republicans, they're going to be voting against Biden, just as they voted against Donald Trump. Nobody voted for Biden. It was either pro-Trump or anti-Trump. Now it's going to be, I don't care who's in there as long as it's not Biden. And things are going to get worse for Biden. This Hunter Biden thing, that's not going away.

The border thing, after they lift the COVID restrictions down there, that's going to explode. I don't know what Putin's going to do, but he's hanging on hoping that the Biden administration collapses, all right, which it might. Now, what does that mean, O'Reilly? What does that mean the Biden administration collapses? It means they can't govern at all. And that will happen if they lose control of the House and Senate. Biden will never get anything passed, nothing. So for two years who sit in the White House, you're not going to get him out of there, although I think he may be impeached over the border, but he'll never be convicted. You'll never get two-thirds of the Senate to boot him, okay? But he'll be there, and he won't be able to do anything. And every executive

order he writes will be challenged immediately in the federal courts. And as it gets up to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court will vote against Biden. Though he's going to be just there. He might just move to Delaware. If they lose in the midterms, the Democrats, Biden just might just move back to Delaware, because he's not going to be able to do anything. at all. So that is the big picture and that is a talking points memo. Now let me give you a little comparison and again this is not ideological or party. Donald Trump president 2020. Okay, that's fair right to compare 2020 to now. Okay. The producer price average, which I just told you is in a record jump back in 2020 was minus.

2.8%. That means prices were going down. Can you believe this? Biden, it's up 11-2 under Trump, down 2.8. I always tell you, please have a pen and paper so you can write that down. I'll tell you for the third time. Biden, producer price index up 11.2% last year at Trump, down 2.8%. Price is going down. All right. Do you think anyone knows that? Did you know it? Be honest. Did you? No, you didn't know it. I didn't know it until my staff researched it because it's not reported. So how would you know it? You're never going to hear that. Okay, that's the producer price indication. Inflation, all right? Eight and a half percent now last year under Trump, 1.2%. Eight and a half now, 1.2%. Sixteen months, it goes from 1.2 to 8.5. It's all Biden's fault. 100% his fault.

No one else to blame but him. Okay. So, what's the big difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden? Take ideology out of it, please. It bores me. Trump is a problem solver. Why? Because it reflects on Trump.

If he does something that works, it reflects on him. He solves problems. He solved the border problem. It took him three years, but he stopped it by and large. Okay, didn't have any trouble in Afghanistan. Didn't have any trouble with Putin. didn't have any trouble? Well, I shouldn't say that. China was annoying. So Trump understands business. He's a businessman. All right? And he sees something. And they saw it. Larry Cudlow was his main guy.

Larry Codleau was a genius. All right? Now, Biden, who's he got? Who? No one. because they're all hired on the basis of skin color or gender or whatever it may be. It's not looking for the best and the brightest. Okay, so the ability to solve problems was Trump's strongest suit, and that's what we did in the Trump-O-Reilly history tour. If you know of one problem, just one, that Joe Biden has solved in 16 months, please email me Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, please. Because I don't know of any. And I'm trying to find one. Just one. Let's bring in Restford. He is the former director of office management and budget under President Trump right now. He runs the Center for Renewing America.

It comes to us from Washington, D.C. All right, make any mistakes in my analysis up top here, Mr. Boat? No, I don't think you have. All right. So it was clean. It was a clean analysis. No factual errors. No hyperbola. No exaggeration. No ideology. Is that correct? And from your point of view?

I think that's a fair way to put it. Okay. Now, obviously, I'm reflecting well on you and the Trump administration. So everybody should know that. How did you keep inflation under control? Well, I think you raised a great point when you said that the president was constantly assessing this at all times, and he had a team that was. You know, he liked to refer to people who had a feel for these things and was not ideological when it came to the fundamentals. And, you know, that's something that there's no way we would have experienced the last year where the beginning of the Biden administration, people like me, but also people like,

Larry Summers and even Jason Furman from the Obama administration were saying, folks, you got to be careful Biden administration if you're going to pass another $2 trillion in spending right out of the gate. And then they didn't stop there. They kept going with their other build back better approach. It didn't pass, thankfully. But what it hid was that the spending that was already underway that they were proposing elsewhere that we just passed is something that was still there. And it was an entire year, both at the administration, the White House, Office of Management, Budget, Treasury, and the Fed, instead of tackling a problem that everyone knew was going to be an issue because of the steps that were required to deal with the pandemic and other the situations that we were dealing with, everyone knew that this could be a problem. Instead of hitting the brakes, they hit the gas and they tried to spend as much as the country could be willing to give them because they were ideologically committed.

and yesterday proves that they are still ideologically committed. Okay. So Trump had COVID in 2020, top to bottom. And it was worse under Trump because the whole economy shut down. And that is the reason I think he lost the election. So the country and the economy shuts down because of COVID. And then it reopens after the vaccine gets up and running. But still, inflation did not ignite.

So you're saying that because the Biden administration printed so much money, gave away so much money, COVID relief funds and all this, which I think it had to do, yeah, had to give away some money for COVID relief. You wouldn't argue with that, right? No, I mean, I think we did enough already. I don't think that last round was necessary. Okay, so you guys did under Trump, because you would do it targeting too. Now, the other thing that you haven't mentioned, and I didn't mention, was the attack on the fossil fuel industry, the oil industry, which drove the futures, they call them futures, market, the price of oil up worldwide. And when the price of oil goes up worldwide, not just

in the United States, then everything costs more, correct? Correct. Every decision that they have made has been on the basis of their view of the climate catastrophe and anti-energy. Every decision that they make regulatoryly. So they have, you know, if we had a rule to have a shot clock to be sure that federal agencies decided on a two-year time limit to make a decision on any infrastructure project. That's one of the things that we're most proud of. They would overturn that. Everything is designed towards using less energy. And so that has been a huge drag on the economy instead of what Larry would talk about, which is a V-shaped recovery where you have this initial shock that we saw in COVID and then you spring out of it

because of your economic growth policies. They have hurt that V-shaped to a great extent. And it's largely because of their anti-energy policy and their overall regulatory structure that's designed to control the country as opposed to let it free and let it grow. All right. When you mentioned Larry, you're mentioning Larry Kudlow. Give me two regulations that were not in place under President Trump that the Biden administration put in that has driven inflation, in your opinion, two. Well, I would just give you, one of them's the NEPA. So they, Trump put it in place.

NEPA is the National Environmental Policy Act, and it's been in place since Carter, and Trump basically said, we're going to make sure that all of the litigation that goes on as a result of it, we're going to make it so that in two years, it may not be a yes or answer, but you're going to get an answer

if you're a developer, if you're trying to build something in this country, and they've put that on ice. Similarly, they're working to overturn, a major anti-pro-energy rule that we had had to deal with that Obama administration had left us. They were trying to basically do a cap-and-trade scheme to basically say, to penalize facilities across coal and oil exploration. They were trying to penalize that.

We got rid of that and had it on the road to being completely gotten rid of. And they are in court trying to make sure that that. Trying to bring it back. legacy is maintained the oil companies and the power companies and all of that they see this happening and they pull back on production do i have it right they pull back on it which means that you have to pay more to get your fuel because there's less of it that's called supply and demand when there's less of something and you need it the price goes up correct yep and then the unintended consequence. Right. Why am I going to put my capital in investment in the next four years

if I know that this is the environment that I'm dealing with? Right. And then once that happens, then all of the other food, clothing, products, wood, cars, all of that, they go up because they have to pay more for the energy because everything runs off energy, correct? Exactly. All right. So now we know. The last question I have is my provocative statement. It's all over today on April 12th for the Biden administration. He's finished. This new report, 11.2 rise in the pricing index, which means that's coming at us. The consumer is going to have to pay between now and the end of the year.

All of that. So prices are going to rise. My turkey sandwich, 10 and a quarter this morning, which used to be 750. It's going to be $14 by the end of the year. Is that accurate? Is my prognostication accurate? I believe so. And I want to say what yesterday was important because it takes it.

The American people, no one believes that this is the Putin price hike. And so it takes something that they're already ticked off about and just makes them bitter towards the White House for them to think that they are that stupid, that they're going to fall for a line like that. It'd be one thing if you blame the Fed and said, this is their problem. solve. But no, to insult their intelligence, I believe, is the kind of thing that takes them from frustrated to bitter and pissed off and go to the polls and put them in people in charge. Folks are angry now. All the polls show that. Mr. Boyd, thanks very much. We appreciate. We hope you come back. And it's a very sad situation for this country. Okay, as you know,

we've been analyzing the airport, the airline industry and what's happening at the airports, and it is a disaster. Again, right at the feed of the Biden administration, that That is Pete Buttigieg, the Department of Transportation Chief. So just today we learned that the price of an airline ticket up 20% from the pandemic, 20% from the start of the pandemic. All right, why? Two reasons. More customers are flying now that COVID is declining and fuel. Fuel is skyrocketing.

So your price on the plane is up 20% and you may not get there. as we have documented all this week. So the guy in charge of this is Pete Buttigieg. You know him, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor. And a piece was done on him by New York Magazine on March 31st. Okay, two weeks ago, Pete Buttigieg, put it on the screen. This is what New York Magazine reports. At a time when other members of the cabinet, the Biden cabinet,

or struggling to escape the administration's travails, Buttigieg has proved himself to be both a dog defender of the president and an irrepressibly buoyant figure with a following all his own as likely to appear in People magazine with his husband, Chastin, and the twins as on Meet the Press, unquote. That's it. That's it. Do you get the feeling that things are totally out of control? Because I do.

Now, what Buttigieg should do is tell all American Airlines you either improve your on-time performance, stop canceling flights because you don't have pilots and flight personnel, or we're going to fine you. We, the federal government, are going to fine you. big money. He does that. It stops. Won't do it. 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 or place in a tax advantage gold IRA.

Disney. I was first on this. I hope you remember. So how I knew was that Disney, which runs ABC News, backs the view. perhaps the most irresponsible news program in history. That's a news show, not an entertainment show, ABC News. Disney owns. When I saw that, all right, I said, troubled company.

And that was years ago. Well, now there's a poll, Trafalgar Group, and this is off the Florida law that tells teachers you are not to introduce gender fluidity and other subjects to five-year-olds. I think it's five to nine because it's not appropriate. They can't understand it. Any sane person would support that law, not Disney. Okay?

According to Disney, that persecutes gay kids and gay families. That's what they say. Here's the poll. 39 Democrat, 36 Republican. News reports reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children. to sexual ideas, does this make you more or less likely to do business with Disney? More likely, 9%. I've never seen a plurality like this.

Less likely, 68%. Now, if you're on the board of directors of Disney, an immensely proper rule, corporation and you yourself might have Disney stock. I sold my stock. I do not hold stock in companies that I don't respect. I sold it a while back. Okay. Now, if you're on a board of directors, you're going, you are turning you, the president of Disney, and you're turning the whole country against the corporation, okay, because they are.

But the more important story is China, and this has never reported. Did you know that Shanghai Disneyland brings Disney corporation in the United States $5 billion a year? Did you know that? okay now disney splits 10 billion dollars in profit they get five and a state-owned chinese company that means the communists in Beijing they own it they get the money okay they're in partnership with disney do you know that Shanghai Disneyland gets worse so Disney sells a lot of movie tickets in china because China is the biggest movie market in the world world, by far, way bigger than the United States. But you can't run a movie in China unless you

censor it. So, I'll give you one example. There's a movie, a Disney movie called Kondun that depicted the Chinese occupation of Tibet. China still occupies Tibet. They took it over, Dalai Lama are read, and Chinese troops are all over. They took Tibet over. Okay, just like Putin's attempting to do in Ukraine. The world didn't care. Tibet, where is that, that kind of a thing. All right. So Disney censored the movie, took that out. And the CEO at the time, Michael Eisner, another villain, said, quote, that it was an insult to our friends to have the scene where the Chinese occupied Tibet. Maybe remember a movie called World War Z, Brad Pitt, zombie movie. Disney censored that. That was a Disney flick. All right, took out the part where the zombie revolution, whatever, began in China. Out.

Okay. So China dictates to Disney what happens and what doesn't happen. But even worse is that China persecutes the Uyghurs and other minorities. And some of them are in concentration camps. There's no human rights in China. None. Who's their best client, best customer? Would that be Disney?

So Disney is telling the state of Florida, hey, you're violating the rights of gays by this law, but they're okay with what the Chinese do. All right, there you go. CNN. I'm sorry. Okay, so nobody watches CNN, lowest ratings you've ever seen. So they launched CNN Plus, which is a paid subscription.

So you pay CNN, all right? So you guys, many of you, are on Bill O'Reilly.com and is a subscriber fee. It's the same thing. But on Bill O'Reilly.com, we help your life. We give you honest information on CNN. You don't do that. So they launched this big thing, CNN Plus, they have 10,000 people. They expected to have 2 million people this year.

They got 10,000. This is Chris Wallace. Because why would you think that nobody watches CNN? free, it's not free you get on your cable band, you got to pay cable, but nobody watches now. Why wouldn't you think that people would pay money when they're not watching now? Why? Now, to be fair, because I try to be, CNN does very good documentaries sometimes. But you can see it free on CNN.

What do you need to go on CNN Plus? CNN has no talent. Okay, there isn't anybody on the whole network that Americans going, I got to see that person tonight. There's nobody. Jake Tapper, are you kidding me? The guy can't break a million. He's never been able to do it. Don Lemon, he's down around 600,000. Anderson Cooper, nobody. They don't, and they've been on forever. If the folks were going to watch him, they would have watched them. So CNN plus a bomb. More bad news for Blue States. This is the census. I'm just going to run it down. Okay. Interesting.

Population of the USA in the past year, 2021, all right, dropped by 0.1%, the lowest rate since the nation's founding. Every other year, we grew more than 0.1%. 33 states out of the 50 saw population increases, but 17 states declined in some of them huge. Huge. All right. Here are the states that have added population. Go. Idaho, Utah, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina, Delaware, Texas, Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, all low-tax states. All of them. Here are the states that have lost population. D.C., which is a disaster. New York, another disaster. Illinois, ridiculous. California, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts, West Virginia, North Dakota. Puerto Rico, not a state, of course. They've all lost population. I don't know why North Dakota is losing population because the energy industry is shrinking, not because of social things, just economic there. All right, the worst county in the United States for losing people, you want to guess? New York County. That's New York City. That's New York City.

city, the five boroughs. Fleeing. And with the subway bombing yesterday, I mean, bombing, shooting, killing, terror guy. Okay, so that is the census. This day in history, April 13, 2017, U.S. military drops the mother of all bombs, their words, mother of all bombs, on ISIS in eastern. Afghanistan on the border of Pakistan. Why? Because ISIS was attacking American troops. Okay? So under the Trump administration, boom. They dropped this incredible bomb and they kill, excuse me the stat here, 90 at least. It was hard to know because everything was obliterated. 90 Islamic state militants in that bombing. Now, the reason I'm bringing this out is because killing the killers, the secret war against terrorists, comes out in less than three weeks.

All right? We have all of the campaigns that you have never heard of against ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, all the terrorists in that book. Lots of classified information in that book. Nobody has ever heard this stuff before. So I wanted to bring the book to your attention. Important book, best reporting I have ever done. You'll hear me say that. I don't want to be repetitive, but it's true.

So this day in history, the mother of all bombs, dropped on ISIS, killing the killers, the mother of all books, I hope, out in three weeks. Take a quick break. We'll do some mail, and then we'll do a final thought on virtue signaling. Right back. politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce

one with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, let's go to the mail. Lucinda Callis, Richmond, Virginia. Hey, Bill, please expound on the issue of the shortage of pilots, which is a large part of the airline's problems. Okay, so COVID, they had the mandates for the pilots, a lot of pilots who want to get vaccinated. military, whatever it may be, and they're out. Then you had the situation where the airlines themselves laid off people because they weren't flying during COVID when the country was shut down. Now, a lot of those pilots laid off didn't come back because you can get a good union settlement now. A lot of retired. Now, the airlines should have known this and started to hire and recruit new pilots and train them. They did not. So now, not a pilot's flight of planes.

But they don't tell you that. They drag you to the airport and there's your plane and there's no pilot, which is exactly what happened to me when I try to go to Turks. Cakesh. That is on Bill O'Reilly.com, all of that repertoire. Robert Shirley's Smithfield Road Island. Bill in planning a trip to London with the collapse of the American Airlines would be better to fly with a foreign carrier. there, too. One of my English friends joined us in Turks Caicos, and he said it's bad. So I would say whatever airline gives you the best time to leave and the best deal that would be, because it's just a gamble. Now, the advantage is it's one shot, either New York or Boston to London. So, but it's a crapshoot. Jenny Ledge, Elko, and Ivory.

Bill, you keep asking us to come up with one thing the Biden administration has done that's good for the country. After grocery shopping this week, I decided that President Biden is single-handedly solving the obesity problem because people can't afford to eat. That's not bad. Not bad, Jenny. Okay. Robert, concierge member. Robert gets direct access to me. Good time to become a concierge member now. Get a free book. Free copy of Killing killers, give it as a gift. You get the book. Okay, cartels need to be designated as international terrorist organizations then and only then will they be properly dealt with. I can't understand why it hasn't happened. Because Trump, who wanted to do it, Biden never do it, and neither would

Obama, decided it was more important to guard the borders, get the Mexican military in the borders. That was the trade with Obrador. Obrador would order his military to both borders, with Guatemala with the USA, if Trump didn't designate the cartels as terror groups. And that's what happened. Sherry, concierge member, Bill, I must agree with you about the, I must disagree. Sherry is disagreeing. Bill, I must disagree with you about the dog stroller. My dog, Maggie, is getting old and tired, melts in the sun.

Look, if you're an old dog or a sick dog, use a stroller. Come on, you know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. Sherry, healthy dogs in the stroller? No. Let them walk as God intended. Kevin Manning, Sacramento, Bill, your observation concerning human betrayal rising in America, set against a majority of dog owners seeing their pet as their best friend, reminded me of my favorite Mark Twain quotation. If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man unquote twain is just brilliant he just brilliant um

thank you for sending me that kevin that's a great quote diane starrens dallas texas i took your advice bill i've been reading killing jesus over lent my second read of the book i read it for the first time last lent we have all your killing books can't wait for killing the killers okay so it is wednesday uh tomorrow holy thursday i will have the talking points memo on jesus not religious so you secularists atheists jews muslims buddhists whatever you're going to want to hear this talking points memo tomorrow thursday holy thursday in the christian calendar okay killing jesus the book you haven't read it read it i mean it'll astound you there's a movie which is a good movie you can pay-per-view it, which, you know, in the next four days, you might want to check that out.

Get them now if you want to give mom, dad, granddad, grandma a mug. You can give them three or two, whatever you want.

There's no better deal. Word of the day do not be obsequious. O-B-S-E-Q-U-I-O-U-I-U-S do not be obsequious when writing to us

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name and 10, if you wish you will find. Final thought about virtue signaling. Next. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, New episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, let's wrap things up with the final thought, as we always do.

So everybody asks me, okay, look, why would Disney lose maybe billions of dollars, and they will, by opposing a common-sense law in Florida. Why would they do that? It's a little complicated. I'm going to walk through it slowly. The United States of America, we might rename this country to the United Tribes of America.

We all are in tribes now. Okay? It's not e-pluribus unum any longer. Okay? It's not that. We are tribal. What's a tribe? The Marine Corps is a tribe. All right. Always faithful. Semper the Dubai, The Delis. That's a tribe. When I worked at Fox News, Fox News was a tribe. CNN's a tribe. A.B.C. News is a tribe. Your job, if you work closely with your coworkers, the tribe. Your neighborhood might be a tribe if you're all involved with each other. Okay. Now, in Hollywood, that is a huge tribe. Everybody's tied in. 90% are ardent fanatical leftists. We're talking actors, producers, writers. Maybe it's 80%. That'd probably be more fair. 80%. Okay. Disney wants to curry favor with that creative community.

They want people to bring products and projects to them. So they virtue signal on the progressive front. It's a business decision. Now, it has gone horribly wrong. And this new guy, I forget his name, who's now the CEO, he's gone. You mark my words. He's out. It was just a matter of time.

but the reason originally they got on this train was because their fear and they do the Hollywood left they fear them and if you don't kow to them they come after you and that is the same mentality in Silicon Valley in those social media companies 80% leftist and if you don't fit in you're ostracized. You can't work there. You can't work. If you are a conservative actor or writer or director in Hollywood, you can't work. A couple of exceptions. The Rock, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, but they're just so megastrish that they're exception. But if you're just trying to work your way up, you can't. If you were a Trump supporter, you would be fired. You would out the door. So that's why Disney did what it did. When you see virtue signalers, whether

it could be in your own neighborhood and your own family, they're trying to make themselves feel better and they're trying to play to a crowd. So if you have a terrible opinion of yourself, as many in Hollywood do, because they're horrible people there. Not everybody. I have lots of friends in Hollywood. But there's a lot of bad people in the movie industry and in television. Television horrible. They want to make themselves feel better by being for the minority, by being woke, by being progressive, because inside they don't feel so good. They know they're bad, but they sell out, mostly for money, some for fame. So that's what this is all about. We live in a tribal country now. It's not we're all pulling for each other. We're not all

pulling for each other. Putin knows that, by the way. He knows that America is a very, very divided nation. Okay? And you see it and it's exacerbated by the media, particularly the news media. All right. So it's black against white, it's secularists, against the traditionalists, this, against, Republican, against Democrat, against, against, where's the four? That's why I wrote that column about Heraldo and his charity that Heraldo and I partnered up, and Heraldo will be here on Monday, by the way, we partnered up to raise almost a million dollars for autistic people. And he sees the world much differently than I do. But we were able to put that aside, didn't enter into my mind at all. And he asked me, I immediately said yes,

because I wanted to help. I don't care what, it doesn't matter to me what the ideology behind some of the people in Geraldo's charity is, I don't care, just want to make the lives of the autistic better. And if we all did that on all fronts, wouldn't we be a stronger country? We would be. Okay, so that is the sermon today. And tomorrow, I reiterate, I am going to have a talking point about Jesus, the Nazarene, no religion at all in it that you're going to want to hear. To spread the word. You'll only hear this on the no spin news, on Common Sense, on WabC. It's the only place you'll hear anything like this. Thanks for watching tonight. We'll see you tomorrow.
