Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the News, Tuesday, December 10, 2024, stand up for your country. You know, one of the big problems with the progressive movement, and this is personal for me, is their utter disregard for your public safety and mine. So law and order to the progressives is totally different than traditional law and order, crime and punishment. The progressives see it as society's fault that people hurt each other. It's not personal.

I mean, you shouldn't hold a criminal accountable. That's insane and dangerous, ultra-dangerous. And that's one of the reasons that the progressive movement, in my estimation, has to be wiped out. All right? I'm pretty tolerant person here. But that puts my whole family in danger and yours as well, that attitude. So we've got three legal cases now at the top of the chart as far as the media is. concerned, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. Number one is this

Luigi Mangione, age 26, entitled to due process. Police in Pennsylvania, I'll tune in to be exact, found him. Actually, I back to New York City, charged with murder in the killing of Brian Thompson, who was the CEO of United Health Care. There's Mr. Thompson gunned down on 6th Avenue in New York City, broad daylight. It's on tape. And there's no doubt. doubt in anybody's mind that Luigi did it, all right, troubled individual, good student, wealthy home, but loon. And he took the gun and he killed this man. And he did it for political reasons. He didn't get reimbursed on a health care beef or something. And the progressive left hates the private health care system anyway, they want the government to run,

as you know. All that will come out. And again, he's entitled to due process, but he's never going to be free again. Twenty-six years old, his life's over. Okay? That's crime and punishment. Now, there's a couple of things interesting about this case. The police were tipped off to this guy by a McDonald's worker who recognized some of the video in the media and said, looks familiar. $60,000 could be coming that young man's way, the McDonald's guy, assuming it's a guy. That will not be paid out until after a trial. That's just the way these things work. But we're keeping our eye on it because that worker in McDonald's deserves the money. Secondly, the hysteria about certain people saying, well, the United

Healthcare CEO deserved it does not deserve your attention. This is a few fringe cooks. They're always in play. Ignore it. Media makes a big deal out of it, but I don't. I know who these people are and they're mentally ill. People who say that are mentally ill. I'm not going to give them any attention at all. It's not important. All right. The second case is Daniel Penny in New York City, former Marine Long Island guy who is found not guilty of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. You know the case. All right, 26 years old. Same age as Luigi, by the way. He's on a subway, and he's in a car, and a guy comes in, 30-year-old Jordan Neely, and he menaces the people in the subway, screams and yells, and Penny takes him down and

Neely dies. Okay? So the jury said, look, there's reasonable doubt in this case, because this guy was scaring and terrorizing these people, and Penny neutralized him. Unfortunately, the guy is dead. I don't want the guy dead. And I don't know about Penny, but I don't think Benny wanted to kill him either. But either way, there was reasonable doubt, and you don't convict unless it's beyond a reasonable doubt. That's why Penny was acquitted. well right away the race hustlers got into it because the victim is black and the perpetrator and who's now exonerated is white roll the tape when things happen to you you step up and defend yourself just like everybody else seeks justice on their own just like everybody else has vigilantes

We need some black vigilantes. That's right. People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud. How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us? And if you look on social media, if you look at the hatred spewed across against us, against black people, against a man who was sick. Because when there's a crisis of drugs in America, I'm sorry, it's only a crisis when it's a white person, an opioid crisis. Jordan was labeled a drug addict and labeled a crackhead.

The only crime that Jordan Neely was guilty of was the color of his skin. Well, that's false. The victim, Jordan Neely, 42 arrests, including a conviction. He beat up an elderly woman in East Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan. He punched her in the face. She's 67, broke her nose, fractured her orbital bone. Okay? So these race hustlers, they lie.

And what they're trying to do is pit black against white or whatever the case may be. They're despicable. Absolutely despicable. The good news is it does not seem like the African American community in New York City is rallying to their cause. We have not seen that. I suspect it's because African Americans are just like everybody else in New York City. They're subject to being terrorized. They know what it's like.

They know there are people like Jordan Neely with 42 arrests who's obviously mentally ill, obviously. Okay? Who just walks around. I mean, listen to this. Listen to this. All right. Neely pleaded. guilty to beating up the 67-year-old woman. Here was, here's a sentence, 15-month alternative to

incarceration program, where he was supposed to show up to a facility in the Bronx, all right? Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-98-99. Again, that's 866-3-26-5-7576, or text bill to 998899. 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, 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 it said Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Two weeks, he didn't show up.

Two weeks he showed up, then never saw him again. Walking around, terrorizing people, taking drugs, nobody's looking for him. Nobody. They could have found him. He was very visible in the subways. They don't care. That's New York City, run by progressives. Don't care.

Now, Neely's father is suing Daniel Penny. It's not going anywhere. But Neely's father should be suing New York City and New York State for failing to supervise an obviously dangerous mentally ill person. There are thousands of them, not only in New York City, but But in Chicago, L.A., Baltimore, Atlanta, on and on and on, you must isolate these people to protect the innocent. It's so despicable.

And they use this. Now, I'm keeping my eye on Sharpton. You haven't heard a word out of Sharpton. All right? He's too busy counting the $500,000 that Kamala gave him under the table for nothing. It takes a long time to count that much money. Sharpton, he's the primo race provocateur in New York. He didn't say anything.

He, Sharpton's on the run. He knows he's in trouble. So that's probably why he's keeping a little profile. But I don't expect this to go any further than today. Okay. Third legal case, this is a civil case. Donald Trump's suing CBS News. I'm not going to get into the weeds here, but it's basically the Trump campaign and Donald Trump himself believes that CBS News took an interview with Kamala Harris and edited it in a way to make Ms. Harris look better than what she actually said.

They filed this civil lawsuit in Texas in a conservative part of the state. the CBS lawyers are trying to get it thrown out on First Amendment. Now, do I think that Donald Trump's going to win this lawsuit? No, because it'll be appealed all over the place, and First Amendment is pretty tough to get through. But what is important here, and what I think President Trump wants, is CBS News to put that transcript out, which it refuses to do. because if they did indeed edit that interview to make Kamala Harris look better, CBS News is shot, finished. That's what I think is in play.

All right, so that is the justice system, as it stands now, joining us from New York City, is one of the best lawyers in town. Name is Arthur Dahlia. I mispronounced it last time. I Dahlia. i dollar i dollar i dollar like a dollar bill like dollar bill of which you charge many okay i got it all right let's run them down trump case would you have filed this case would you have signed on to that case uh it's uh here's the truth you want to talk about money most of those cases you take on as a lawyer

on a contingency fee so you say i'm only to get paid if i win i would not take that case on a contingency fee because i don't i think you're correct i don't think they're going to win how during the discovery process they may be able to get that transcript as part of evidence as part of the discovery process and unless cbs is successful and putting some sort of a gag order on that evidence some sort of it's called a protective order um trump could then release it and achieve the goal that he may want to achieve that they may actually dismiss the case after that okay we got what we want, we're done. But as a lawyer, you better make sure you're getting paid up front because, as you said, Mr. O'Reilly, the First Amendment gives a lot of protections to the press as it should.

So I don't think ultimately he would be successful, even though they went to a venue where they knew the case was going to a judge that would be sympathetic to President Trump based on his political leaders and the fact that Trump appointees. You said they might be able to get the transcript. They'd have to be able to get it. Because that's the crux of the case. The judge couldn't deny Trump's lawyers the opportunity to see what the case hinges on. That would be impossible, right? Unless they want a motion, a summary judgment motion to dismiss.

That's a whole different thing. If they got the case thrown out and they filed last week to get the case thrown out, do you think it's going to get thrown out? It's a close call. cases are not a close call, but it is a close call because the First Amendment is, it really safeguards the media from being bullied or really- I don't think it's going to get thrown out. I don't think the conservative judge in Texas is going to throw it out. And if he doesn't throw it out, CBS can't appeal that, that rule.

And it has to go forward then, right? Right. Yes. They're also asking for it to be moved to New York, the venue where CBS is located, and they may not get that either. So if it is, if it does, Why would a conservative judge be sympathetic to CBS? Right. They're not. It's like the Florida judge in a Mala Lago case, was sympathetic, thought it was an overreach by the Biden administration and go after Trump like that. Okay, let's get to the shooting of the CEO, the United Healthcare CEO.

So far, I think the authorities have handled it very well from the Pennsylvanians who got the guy and then the New York cops went out. They got him here. Evidence is overwhelming. If you were the defense attorney, you'd be up against it, correct? Yes. I would definitely be up against it.

But this is where you have to get creative. I just want to go back to the police work because I did speak to Chief of Patrol John Shell yesterday, and he wanted to make sure that citizens got credit that they deserve. This was a lot of old-fashioned police work getting his picture

out there, but then the citizens were the ones who really helped. But the cops were on the verge of getting his DNA. They were on the verge of getting his fingerprints from the cell phone. His DNA was from a bottle that he dropped in Starbucks that they saw, and they were able to get that bottle. So he was

on his way to being in some big trouble. Bill, in terms of a defense like this, where he has a written confession on him, a lot of the job of the defense attorney, any defense attorney, is to make sure everyone plays by the rules, all of his rights are observed and maintained and stood up for and then you write a book on his life

and apparently he had a bad operation that affected him and you hope maybe the prosecutor says all right as opposed to 25 to life which is what you're going to get after trial will give you 23 to life and save us the money time effort and energy two years I don't think this guy's ever going to get out

I don't think he's ever going to get out because it was so blatant and such a horror, a message has to be sent. But I understand you're trying to mitigate the sentence to some degree. Hopefully the guy can rehabilitate himself. I might even go for insanity on this guy. He's pretty out there. So maybe if I'm the defense attorney, I'm saying he doesn't know what he's doing. That doesn't work very much, though, right?

It does not. It very rarely works. And the other thing people brought up is an excuse called extreme emotional disturbance that takes manslaughter down to manslaughter. So you can get up. Not going to miss that. Right. But he was in a videotape.

He's just too cool about what he's doing and all that. He's not agitated. It's very, very planned and premeditated. All right. So Arthur Penny, then we go into the last case that we're talking about here. I predicted this. It wasn't a hard prediction. I still have faith, even though it's New York City and the folks, that they reasonable doubt all over the place. But the key question is, the district attorney in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, George Soros Progressive, okay? He knew there was reasonable doubt all over the place because the police had interviewed the people riding in the subway car.

Bragg had all of that information in front of it. He knew that his odds of getting a conviction were low, and he did it anyway. Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong, but you know, you showed that clip of the angry supporters of the deceased here, and that's the constituency that obviously Alvin Bragg was trying to please. But that's political. That's not justice. Well, Bill, unfortunately, the days of Frank Hogan, the Manhattan District Attorney and Bob Morgothar, where politics was not supposed to play a role,

gone way out the window. All right. Any chance. Any chance Hockel removes brag down? Fire is track. No, no, no. You kidding me. She's afraid of her own shadow.

She's going to take down the first African-American district attorney in Manhattan. Her approval rating is 35%. Her approval rating is 35%. And after the congestion parking, it's going to be 25. She does not have the intestinal fortitude to do so. what's insane to me, Bill, is people out there are trying to compare the crime that this Luigi kid did to what Daniel Penny did. And I mean, that really gets me upset. It's ridiculous. But again, that's just loons. I mean, I don't even bother them. All right, counselor, it's always

good to talk with you. You can listen to Arthur on his own radio show, The Arthur Idala, as in money, power hour on AM-97 The Answer in New York. So have a nice Christmas, and thanks for helping us out. Really appreciate it, Arthur. We'll see you. Thank you. Thanks for all you do for our country. Appreciate you.

Thank you. All right, Donald Trump's schedule. He's in Mar-a-Lago today. And he's got a lot of stuff going on. Obviously, he's running the country. Joe Pye's not running a country anymore. 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 world's 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. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine. New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors,

lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast, you don't want to miss an episode. People ask me, has this ever happened before? Yes, it has. FDR is the best example. Herbert Hoover was just shot after the Great Depression. Hoover couldn't do anything about it.

You can read that in confronting the president's. FDR gets elected. FDR just takes over and says, okay, Herbert, we'll see you down the road. Goodbye. But this in modern day, that Trump basically running the country out of Palm Beach, it's kind of unprecedented in modern day. Joe Biden today has another party at the White House

and gives some kind of speech about the economic playbook to Brookings, it's, you know, okay. Lara Trump, so she resigns. This is an interesting story from the Republican National Committee where she was running it, and very effective, 42 years old. And it looks like that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is going to appoint her as senator, take Marco Rubio's seat. That's what it looks like to me.

She wouldn't resign the RNC unless she's got something in her pocket. No reason to resign it. So keep your eye on that, I believe, that Lara Trump will be appointed into the U.S. Senate. More than 75 Nobel laureates have urged the Senate to reject RFK Juniors nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services. But this just helps Kennedy because these pinheads are loathed. I mean, these medical pinheads, yeah, you win a Nobel Prize or whatever, but you're part of the elite, you're part of the system, you're part of the swap. So everybody goes, oh, they don't like them.

so we do. So I don't think I'd worry about that. I think Kennedy's going to have a hard time because the senator is going to ask them questions. Remember, Democrats ask questions, too, and they're going to be after him. And it's hard to defend some of his positions. And that's the same thing that HECSAT is going to have to deal with. Like I said, it's going to have to come in and he's had, now if it's all sliming Hegseth, if that's all they have on him, he might squeak through because the Republican senators, they've had enough of this. I've had enough of it, and I bet you have, too. Everybody's slimed and smeared.

Everybody makes mistakes, okay? But now everybody's cavanoid. Everybody. So if that's it, then Hankseth might squeak in. I'd be a surprise of Murkowski and Collins vote for him. So that brings it down to 5149, and then you're in a netherworld. What's Mitch McCorm? Connell going to do. So both of those nominees, I don't think Tulsi Gabbard's going to have a hard time.

I think she'll get through. But RFK and Higsef, Dicey. Los Angeles, I love this story. Listen to this. Los Angeles Times was once the dominant newspaper on the West Coast, all right? It had like a half million a day circulation. It's down below 100,000. It's just nobody pays attention to it because it's a far left journal. It's a progressive journal. They don't make any pretense about covering the news fairly. They cover what they want to cover. But if it's not a story that fits in the narrative, they don't even cover it. So it's owned by one guy whose take is hemorrhaging money. His name is Dr. Patrick Sun-Shion. Okay? So he's installing, and I don't know how this is going to work, in the Los Angeles Times newsroom, a so-called bias meter.

to see if his own reporters and editorial staff are being unfair. And he's using AI to run the bias meter. Now, I don't know whether the readers of the newspaper are going to see that or how they're going to see it. But I've never heard of this before. But a bias meter run by AI being installed in the Los Angeles Times. I'm keeping my eye on that one. Now, why is that necessary? The culture in almost every newsroom in this country on a national level is left, far left.

That means if you're a maga person or you're pro-life or you're even conservative, you can't work in the newsrooms. You shunned, isolated, won't get promoted. Don't want you there. Okay? When you have that kind of peer pressure against you, who's going to walk into that? Now, when I worked at ABC News and CBS News, both of them were liberal when I was there. Jennings, Peter Jennings, kept a cap on it. Now, nobody knew my political point of view back when I was a correspondent for ABC News.

I was a reporter. I didn't put any politics today, any story I ever did. none. CBS, same thing. Nobody knew. I got hired at CBS, Dan Rather, because I did well at Channel 2, the local CBS station in New York City. Anyway, Rather was wore the liberalism on it, on his sleep. Everybody do. Jenny's not so much. They knew he was socially liberal, but he was disciplined, Jennings. But now that's all gone. It's all gone. You have to be left or far left to work in these national news agencies, with the exception of Fox News and Newsmax.

And News Nation, which I think the strongest of the trying to be balanced of all of them. Again, I work there on, you know, Monday you'll see me with Leland Vitterd and Wednesday with Cuomo. But they try. if you're in the network situation, there's no way. And that's the culture. New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times, Boston Globe, Atlanta Constitution, same thing. Very dangerous for the country. Smart life. There's another interesting story. So now the average American, all right, has a credit card debt of $10,757.57. How about how percent?

is that? This comes from a wallet hub. Wallahub is pretty good. They do some pretty good research. It's a personal finance website, wallet hub, one word. So $10,757 with the average American owes of the credit card companies. Why? Well, greed is one reason. No impulse control. I want it. I'm going to get it. If I can't afford it, I'll just put it, I'll pay the 18% Vig. 18% you pay in these companies. But here's another one. So I walk into a deli on Long Island the other day and I wanted a ham and cheese sandwich, ham and monster cheese with a little bit of mustard on a roll. 14 bucks. Are you kidding me? 14 bucks that cost the deli in just in the food, the roll and a ham and cheese and the mustard cost the deli about five bucks, maybe five. They're charging 14.

So, I'm watching now. Why are they doing this? In the deli, it was 80% urchins, teenagers in the local high schools there. That's who was in the deli. They had the debit cards. And they're getting anything they want. They don't care what the prices. They're not paying it.

Boom, boom, boom. That's why. And their parents have to pay off the debit card. And a lot of these parents are, hey, do whatever you want, Sally. Hey, Sean, get whatever you want. They don't care. And then they get the bill and I can't pay it. That's what's happening here.

Smart life. All you have to do is step back before you put that credit card on the little gizmo. They don't really need this. Is it worth the $14 for the ham and cheese? I bought the ham and cheese sandwich. And I ate it and it was decent. I won't do it again, all right, because that's ridiculous. Smart life.

Got to control the spending. This day in history of December 10, 2017, ISIS is defeated in Iraq. This was a huge win for the Trump administration, aided by the Obama administration. Now, if you want to know about it, if you care, killing the killers, best book, It walks right through how Obama and Trump's policies defeated ISIS. But it was on Trump's watch in 17, okay, that ISIS went down. Roll it. We've unleashed U.S. military might on ISIS, and today the coalition to defeat ISIS has recaptured nearly 100% of the territory.

Once held by the terrorists in Iraq and Syria, we're close to 100%. will be finished pretty soon with the ISIS situation in those two countries. And we're making it very difficult for them to come here. Believe me, we're fighting that very hard, Homeland Security and our great military. Okay, that happened seven years ago, and now we have Syria again run by Islamic fundamentalists.

They say they hate ISIS and al-Qaeda. This is the new leadership. As you know, Assad is now in Russia. horrible dictator, awful tyrant, gassing his own people. But it would be perfect with Putin. They have a lot to talk about. Maybe they can do a little chart who murdered more people. Putin or Assad, let's just add it up.

Anyway, the United States is bases in Syria, on Syrian soil in the eastern part of that country. Nobody's out there. It's the desert. We have special forces out there because ISIS was defeated, but they didn't kill all of them. They're still there in Syria, but they got the Kurds against them, they got the Turks against them, they got the USA against them. Iraq is so chaotic, you know, they're not effective. But it'll be very interesting to watch if the new government in Damascus, again, Islamic fundamentalists, assist the United States in containing ISIS. ISIS is, you know, as an opportunity here if these people in Damascus are sympathetic to them.

Anyway, this day in history, seven years ago, Trump never got credit for that, by the way. Never. And this is what makes me angry. It's not so much about Donald Trump, even though he's a friend of mine 35 years. Just whatever he did well in his first term was ignored, totally ignored. It was so unfair and so ridiculous. And they'll try it again this time around. It's going to be harder, though.

Anyway, I wanted to bring that to you, and it was a great victory, but Obama deserves credit too for this. They didn't play games, and they set up that ISIS defeat, and Trump executed it very well, pardoned, the word execution. cost the United States to defeat ISIS that time around, $15 billion. I think we've given more to Ukraine, but I'm not sure. Okay, let us take a short break, and then we'll be back with a final thought. Now, this final thought is going to take me back 47 years. Where do you see this thing? We'll be right back.

Final thought of the day, my second job in broadcasting was at WFAA TV in Dallas, Texas. First job was in Scranton, WNEP. All right, that was 47 years ago, 1975, wait a minute, 1975, 25, 49 years ago. No, you're kidding me. Oh, God. Anyway, roll the tape. As you can see, the Christmas season has begun in most department stores in about three weeks, the shopping crush will begin in earnest. And along with all the shoppers will come

the shoplifters. Retail experts estimate over $3 million in merchandise is stolen from the nation's stores daily, and that one person in 10 is a potential shoplifter. And never is shop theft worse than in the season of giving. A little down, right? I could have been a little livelier. The hair, the night the 70s. So in January, I celebrate my 50th anniversary. in the media. Oh, but Victor Garcia, who is our ace internet guy, no escaping Victor, he'll find it. Ferreted that out. I was at North Park in Dallas, okay? I think there was Neiman Marcus. I lived in Richardson, which was just north of Dallas. And Dallas, you know, for a Yankee like me, that was an interesting experience, 49 years ago.

Oh, man. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
