Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Thursday, December 15th, 2020, stand up for your country. You may remember, if you follow us, that we reported a story on November 11th of this year. A guy named Manuel Pagan, arrested in New York City with 22,000 fentanyl pills, 22,000 fentanyl pills. Now, what does that mean? The dope pushers buy these pills, and Manuel is transporting them to the dope pushers, the people on the street. They're capsules. So they knock it down the capsule and they take the fentanyl inside and they sprinkle it

onto heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, whatever may be, to make the drug more potent. Okay? And fentanyl can stop your heart, can kill you, everybody knows that. So we have hundreds of thousands of dead Americans every year because of this fentanyl, all right? it's manufactured primarily the ingredients in it. It's man-made in China, sent to Mexico to the cartels. They smuggle it across because of President Biden's open border policy. It's easy. So Pagan gets 22,000 capsules, and he brings them into New York City, and he's going to sell him. But that's not what he's charged with, and that is the subject of this evening's talking

points memo. Because of the insane criminal justice system, we have here in New York, York City and New York State, Manuel Pagan was charged with possession, not possession with intent to sell, which is obviously what he was doing, okay, but just simple possession. Like you'd have two capsules in your pocket. So he was released without bail. Shocking. Shocking, irresponsible, whatever adjective you want to put on it, it was sickening, particularly if you have family members who are dead from drugs or you know people

who have died from drugs. Now, this is what I said. Go. Sign of the Times, New York City. Dope dealer, Manuel Pagan, 49 years old, Washington Heights, that's Upper West Side, way up in Manhattan. Cops harass him 20,000 fentanyl pills. 20,000 for Manuel. based on his own recognizance. No bail. Charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. Possession? Possession?

20,000 pills. I think Manuel is going to use 20,000 fentanyl pills? It should be possession with intent to sell. That gives Manuel 10 years in the state penitension. No. Nope. Now, Manuel will never be seen again. He's due back in court December 15th.

back in court December 15, he'd never come back. Well, today is December 15th, but he came back and I was wrong. But there's a reason I was wrong, okay? Not an excuse reason, but a valid reason I was wrong. So he did answer his hearing today with his court-appointed attorney, which means he didn't pay any money, a woman named Molly Kalmas. Okay? They did not. enter a plea. The district attorney, Alvin Bragg, is soft on crime as any law enforcement officer in the country. This guy doesn't want to put anybody away. His office says that Pagan is going to remain on the street, no bail, and that they're going to have discussions about a possible resolution of his case. Again, he didn't enter a plea. So what does this mean?

It means that Bragg, the DA, made a deal with this Pegas, that he's going to say who gave him the 20,000 fentanyl pills, you know, this is how it works. But you don't have to do it this way, all right? You can charge him with possession, and he's facing 10 to 20. That's when you make your deal. But the guy came back with assurances from the DA through his, his court-appointed attorney, that A, he'll be able to walk right out, which he did, okay, and B, that there'll be a quote-unquote resolution.

So we're going to follow this to the end, but the odds of Melanuel Pagan getting jail time are zero. He'll flip. Now, the only danger of Manuel is that the people who sold him the fentanyl might clip him. though may a little bit watch his butt because that's

what this is all about. There's a deal in the making here. But again, they don't have to go about

it this way. So why am I reporting this story? Well, number one, it's outrageous, okay? And number two, it shows you

that many law enforcement people, not the police, per se, but above, the prosecutors, the governors, the mayors,

they don't care whether your kid, dives of fentanyl. Fentanyl is a high priority for them. Biden doesn't care. And I mean that literally does not care. Yeah, give lip service to it because they have to. But if they really cared about people dying from drug ODs, they get tough on the drug

pushes. But drug pushes from Seattle to Key West, they know, even if they're caught selling the worst, drugs in the world, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, what's going to happen to them anymore? They're going to walk. They'll bust it down a simple possession, whatever it may be. So what is this? What is this? I mean, what is this? And you always come back to the fact that most of the drug dealers in this country are minorities. That's what this is all about. and the Alvin Braggs of the world. Put his picture up there again, please.

He doesn't want to put people of color in prison. He just doesn't want to do it. He wants to decarcerate this guy. Now, in Philadelphia, it's so bad that they're impeaching the DA there, Larry Krasner, and my sources in Pennsylvania tell me Krasher would probably get convicted and boot it out, just like the guy. in San Francisco. But Bragg in New York is safe. But it just drives me crazy to hear all this lip service bed, oh, yeah, we have to get them help and we have to do this and we have to do that.

They don't care. They don't care. I mean, shocking. It's absolutely shocking. The President of the United States could not care less about people dying from drug overdoses. He could not care less about six million foreign nationals pouring in here unsupervised. He just doesn't care. It's so shocking. Usually in the past, they faked it. All right? They faked it.

Oh, yeah, I, yeah. They don't bother doing any more these progressives. Eh, you know, we don't want to put minority people in prison because the system's biased against them, on and on and on. That's a memo. All right, so Joe Biden, today, another Africa day. I thought this is going to be one day, it's two days.

The African leaders are here. They're having a good time on my dime, which is fine. I don't mind it. I'll buy the African leaders dinner. And so they're here all day, and then Biden goes to Delaware, goes home, to Rojobit. And I don't think he's coming back, by the way. I could be wrong on that, but I think this is it.

So tomorrow, there is a town hall on health care benefits for vets. Okay. Look, I sympathize and I don't mind I'm doing that. I mean, Biden doesn't do anything anyway all day, and you know that. If you listen and watch to No Spin News every day we have reported schedule,

he doesn't do anything. All right? He just doesn't. He leaves everything to his underlings or committee, you know, whatever, but he didn't do anything. This, I don't care. Okay, so here's something interesting. New Hampshire. obviously primary, number one, up there with the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary. Now, the progressives want to change that. They want to get down into the African American states like South Carolina to do the first primaries, but I don't think that's going to happen. So anyway, there's a liberal group, Rootsaction.org, that took out an ad in New Hampshire about President Biden.

Go. The threat of the GOP has become all too obvious. States could not be higher. Our ideas are way more popular than Joe Biden is. Joe Biden running undermines the Democratic Party's chances in 2024. There's no question that we have a climate emergency. It's a question of it.

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

There's no room to compromise when our abortion rights are on the line. We can't afford to lose.

Don't run, Joe. Don't run, Joe. Don't run, Joe. No, Joe's not going to run. But that's a liberal group. That is just running in New Hampshire. Because they don't want him to run because they know they being the progressive movement that he'll lose. You're going to lose.

And because things are going to get worse in America next year. They are. And I'm going to deal with that in a final thought. I got a slew a male. about financial stuff, and a lot of people are panicking. So I'm going to do that in the final thought of the day. Okay, so the media, the corrupt corporate media, this is NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN. And some people think that Fox News is corrupt.

I mean, you know, there's not uniformity anymore about FNC. It's divided. But anyway, the corrupt media that just doesn't cover stories that will make Biden look bad, Starting to crack a little bit. So there's a guy named Jose Diaz Bellard. I've known him for a long time. He's on MSNBC, which is progressive heaven. And here's what he said about the border.

Go. What a just tragic humanitarian crisis. We just heard some of the horror stories that people face just when they get to Mexico and trying to get to the U.S. They're being kidnapped, starved, raped, extorted. That's just in Mexico. I'm just wondering, I'm not, where is the urgency here?

Where is the outrage that men, women, and children are going through hell? And it seems as though, unless there's some political aspect to this, there's no outrage. There's no focus. Jose, listen to me, your pal, okay? As I said, the President of the United States doesn't care about those people, all right, at all. now Trump who you don't like he had the immigration illegal immigration thing at least manageable the stat again is about 750,000 encounters with migrants and border patrol in Trump's last year because he had to remain in Mexico policy Biden comes in first day Knox remain in Mexico

go out. Now we have six million encounters in less than two years. And Biden wouldn't even go to the border, as we heard last week when he was in Arizona. I'm not going. I don't care. Because he doesn't care. So it's hard for people, particularly liberal Democrats, to wrap their head around the fact, and it is a fact, that their liberal president, they don't care where these people live or die. He's not going to do anything. Now, why isn't going to do anything? Because the progressives want to flood America with foreign nationals. And we went over this in the two tribes.

Now, on Sunday, I will have that two tribe analysis more fleshed out. Sunday noon, my column. So you'll be able to have the column, download it, look at it. And it will explain everything about why this has happened. So the state of Arizona put up crates as a barrier for people illegally crossing the border from Mexico to Arizona. They put up big, big crates, okay? And the Biden administration is suing the state to get those crates taken away. And Doug Ducey, the governor of Arizona, is doing it.

he's folding. I wouldn't. So Ducey says that he's going to stop putting up the barriers and he's going to remove the containers in the San Rafael Valley. Okay. So he's folding because the Biden administration is suing the state of Arizona. I put up more awful. Let's go to the culture. So as some of you know, I do a weekly spot with News Nation, which is a cable news outfit, trying to make a name for itself. And I'm on the Chris Cuomo show. So yesterday we reported that the Cambridge Dictionary has expanded the meaning of the word man and woman. It's all a bunch of malarkey, as Joe Biden might say, but it's woke stuff. Okay? So it's not enough to say, man. A person.

born a male, that's a man, or female, a person born a female, biological male, biological female. So when you're born, the authorities fill out a birth certificate. We all have them. Male, female. There's not like eight other categories. Now, as you get it to be an adult, if you want to change, you're titled to do this. that. It's America. You want to be a girl? You can be a girl. Okay? I don't care. It's better to me.

But anyway, the Cambridge Dictionary has changed the definition of man and woman. This was a topic last night on the Chris Cuomo show. Roll it. In theology, there's a lot of intolerance for things that are deemed immoral by certain religions. Come on. There's a lot of intolerance. Come on. This isn't a free-fire unitarian zone here. You've got to expand it. What should happen is the totality of the issue. Some people are going to want to change their gender. They should not be scorned or mocked or anything else.

They have a right once they're 18 years old. Particulate the next part because that's where we're rubbing. Go ahead. The next part is that there isn't anything wrong with that in a civil. civil society, but in certain religions, that has not looked upon as a positive. Okay. You give both sides so people can make up their mind. You can give both sides, but you say you can't make kids believe it's okay.

That's not what we're saying. We're saying it is okay. I didn't say that. You're saying don't indoctrinate kids whose faith. You said don't indoctrinate kids whose faith say that this is wrong. That's what you said. Correct. Okay.

Don't indoctrinate. it's a secular society you do the same way that you say that the world is round and not flat not in my religion it isn't that's your problem listen that's not our it's the same pomo listen to me and i'm going to drum some common sense into you it would be the same thing as a public school teacher in second grade came in and told the uh tykes that abortion was great and reproductive right was great it's excellent and if you get pregnant and you're a girl you should have an abortion. That's different.

That's indoctrination. That is not. That is indoctrination. I'm not talking about that. And religious people, religious people consider abortion a grave sin. I'm with you. You can't do that. I'm not doing that.

I'm not saying to do that. It's not a good analog to what I was talking about, which is these people exist. They have a right to exist that way. And if you don't like it in your faith, that's fine. But don't you act that out in a secular society in a way that disadvantages those people. I agree 100%. That's not indoctrination. And that's where the bullying comes in.

Absolutely. And you're dead right about that. As a debater and as a former teacher, you know and you're right. Okay. So it was a spirited debate. And I'm glad I had that forum because millions of people remember, all of that goes out on social media all over the world. And it's interesting because that segment that I do, they don't have debate. like that anymore on cable. I made the factor, the biggest cable success of all time, debating.

Almost every segment was a debate. So I'd say to my staff, find the smartest person who disagrees with me, bring them on in, okay, and we'll kick it around, and then the audience can see you as a stronger argument. And so, but that's gone now. It's like, here's my opinion, if I'm the anchor or the host of a program, and now we're going to bring in somebody who agrees with me 100% because it's easy to do. That's simple. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. In order to debate, you've got to be prepared. You've got to have a strong argument. Now, Cuomo is a liberal. He's never going to change. And it doesn't really matter to me what he is. All right. What I want to get out is the common sense view that these woke people are tedious. It's ridiculous.

They're trying to ram their lifestyle down the throats of traditional people's lives. And that's wrong. And you shouldn't be discussing this stuff with six and seven and eight-year-olds anyway because they don't understand it. And it's outrageous what they try to do in Florida. Now it's against the law, thanks to DeSantis, and that's his strong suit for running the president. They basically say, well, we're going to come in and we're going to tell you that, hey, this is an option for you. If you're eight and you don't like to, and your name is Larry, but you want to be Belinda, just wait until you're 18 and you, no, no, those are private matters.

Those are private matters. You don't have a chart saying, okay, here's how you can become a girl if you're a guy. That's ridiculous. That's, it's now against law in Florida, and it should be against the law everywhere. That's indoctrination, like I said, with the abortion thing. What's the difference between a teacher, a second grade teacher, coming in and say, hey, abortion's great. I love abortion.

I had five of them. And if you get pregnant, you young girls, when you're a teenager, you're going to have an abortion. That's outrageous. That's a public school. What about all the religious kids in the traditional kids? You can't do that. And he says it's not a valid comparison. Absolutely is.

Because the same teacher walks in and says, hey, you don't like being Sally and you want to be Harry. Just wait a few years and here's the chart. Here's what you can do. And write on. No. That's a parental responsibility. It's a personal decision. Public school shouldn't be involved with that at all, at all.

But my main point that I made last night was forget about the woke stuff. It's just tedious and tiresome and ridiculous. If I'm in a presence of somebody who's woke, I'm out of there. I don't embody that because it's just boring. boring. However, the bullying, and I saw it firsthand when I was a teacher, the school boards have got to, you've got to crack down at it. If somebody is a serial bullier, they're expelled. They're expelled. And you can see it now on the internet. These kids have the text and the emails. I mean, you can't tolerate it, school boards. It's not a federal issue. It's a local issue.

I wish, I mean, way back when I was teaching you didn't have any of this stuff, but boy, I was ferocious. Those bullies, they feared me. I get them. I wouldn't, I couldn't hit them or anything like that, but boy, I gave them a hard time. Because I, you know, and it's not just LGBT kids getting bullied. It's black kids. It's chubby kids. It's kids with bad complexions. It's across a board. And it's worse now than it was when I was teaching a thousand times worse because of this internet stuff. That's where the liberal people should be concentrating their efforts. But no, they want indoctrination brainwires. That's what they want. 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. All right, this is a crazy story. You ready for a crazy story? So John Boehner used to be the Speaker of the House.

Okay, he's a former Congressman from Ohio. Boehner and I never got along. I don't know why, but I never really particularly liked him. He hated me. So we just did not anything to do with him. So as I reported last week, there's a documentary on HBO by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, a very talented filmmaker named Alexandria. She made a documentary on her mother.

Guess why? Her mother's a saint. So Boehner, he watches this documentary. Roll the tape. Leaders lead, Madam Speaker, and you, Madam Speaker, have led. I'm honored to be here today as a long-time colleague and a fellow American to say thank you for that. Thank you all. Ah, so I'm not offended by that. I want to know how Bainer stay so tan. I mean, I go out in the sun for 30 seconds and I have to have an operation. But I'm not offended by that. But I don't think I could ever, ever say anything good about Nancy Pelosi. And that's on me.

I mean, I'm not being Christian. Two reasons that I think that Nancy Pelosi harmed this nation in a way that was almost unprecedented. First of all, she basically said to her members of Congress, Democrats, you don't do what I say, I'm cutting off your money. so there was no freedom of thought or anything like that it was you do it nancy's way whatever nancy wants you do it or you don't get any money from the democratic apparatus the political action committees and all of that now congress people have to run every two years so they got to raise money constantly to run they want to get reelected so pelosi was basically extorting them that's what she was doing it's done to some extent on the republican side but nothing like she

perfected it and the other thing was the state of the union that Trump gave where she ripped it up behind his back. That was one of the lowest moments in congressional history. Now in Civil War years, they used to beat each other up with canes in the House. But I thought that was so classless to rip up the State of the Union. Trump doesn't know it. He's got it back here. she knows, a camera's on her.

Awful. Now, if she came and said, Bill, I'm sorry that I did both of those things, I would forgive her. Shock and awe. You know, I do a weekly for Vidgo, which is a streaming service. I do a weekly program called

Shock and awe. And we've had tremendous guests. I mean, just absolutely off-the-chart guests. So this week is Christmas. and the decline of Christianity in this Christmas season, not just now, but it's been a slow dissent that Christianity in America is now about to be overtaken by people who don't give a hoot. So I just wanted to show you a little clip of what we did. Go. On the next episode of Shockin-R.

So when I laid out my vision of Christmas, the key question is, what has changed? Interestingly, you spoke more about a cultural Christmas in many ways than a religious one. I mean, you were talking about the presents and the tree and the caroling and all of that. But there wasn't a lot of Jesus in what you just said or Christ. And I think what a lot of people are complaining about today is that it seems as though because we've become more secular, that people are resenting the religious celebration of it, that they want to keep it secular. I think that's an interesting trend

because less people are going to church. You have more identifying as nuns, N-O-N-E-S. And that's true. So 93% of Americans, according to Pew, I believe it is, celebrate Christmas. But less than 50% of all Americans go to church, synagogue, mosque. So there's this gap about, let's see, let me do the map.

About 45% of Americans, oh, I have anything to do with Jesus or Allah or the Torah or anything. Yet, there they are on Christmas. And I'll remind you that President U.S. Grant was a man who made a federal holiday. Now, the other interesting aspect of this is the war on Christmas, which we won. The O'Reilly Factor was the forefront of that, and you may remember that. And it was a very, very intense time. Boy, did I get attacked. I was just brutalized because what had happened was that corporate America in the merchandising industry was ordering, not all of them, but many of them.

Their employees, their counterpeople, not to say Merry Christmas. It had to be happy holidays. Even if somebody said Merry Christmas to them, they weren't allowed to. to say Merry Christmas back. Remember that? So I just went in with my usual hammer and started to name the names of the department stores and the corporations that were behind this. And they folded fast. They folded in less than two weeks. All of them. Nobody held out. Everybody lifted the Merry Christmas band. That was one of the most powerful things that I ever did on television the other was raising money for the uh wounded severely wounded vets um and i remember that

now because that's not in play anymore so merry christmas isn't banned anymore the ACLU has pulled back on its lawsuits against the nativity scenes as long as you have a menorah and the nativity scene you're good okay or a Kwanza whatever the Kwanza people have you put that there too I have a problem with that who has a problem with that Nobody. So it's calmed down. The cultural Christmas war has calmed down thanks to not just me, but my staff. I mean, my staff is really good. And they're good now on the no spin news. And it will go with the factor because I took a bunch of them with me over here. So we're proud of that. But we do understand that America is heading the way of Holland here. And in 20 years, you got. 48% saying they're affiliated with a church, 48% of the American people now participate in a church, going to be 25%. So, and part of that is the church's fault because they're not engaging, generally speaking.

All right, Smart Life. This comes from Louis Cretio from Raleigh, North Carolina, as a friend of the program. So Azur Standard, Azur, A-Z-U-R-E-S-U-R-E-S. T, A-N-R-D. Azura is the color blue, standard, one-word.com. So what this does is if you go there, you can buy stuff, a wide variety of stuff, at a very low price. The kicker is, though, you have to pick the stuff up.

Hey, Lou, thanks. We appreciate the tip, this day in history. Very important day. 231 years ago, December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights, okay, was amended by the state of Virginia in the most powerful state by the time.

Remember, that was where Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, George Washington, everybody is in Virginia. So they approved 10 of the 12 Bill of Rights Amendments. Here they are, full screen, on the radio, I'll read them to you. First Amendment, freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, petition. Second Amendment, right to bear arms. Third Amendment, courting of soldiers. That means that British soldiers were third. throwing you out of your house in Boston and Philly and they were taking it over. So according to

the Bill of Rights, that could never happen again. American soldiers couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. Fourth Amendment search and seizure. You've got to get a warrant. You can't just come on in. Fifth Amendment grand jury, double jeopardy. It means you can't be tried twice for the same crime. Self-incrimination, you can take the fifth on and on. Sixth Amendment right to speedy trial. We don't have that anymore. We should have it. That's gone by the wayside. Seventh Amendment, jury trial in civil lawsuits. So you can demand a jury trial.

Eighth Amendment, excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishment. That's been used by the ACLU, because anything can be cruel and unusual punishment. Ninth Amendment, non-enumerated rights retained by the people. That basically is a catch-all that the federal government can't come in and treat you unfairly, that you can litigate. And the Tenth Amendment is rights are reserved to states or the people in those states. That's the abortion. Okay, the Supreme Court ruled the abortion should be handled by the individual states, and then it went back to the states.

Okay? There it is. Now, no other country on earth has that. We're the only ones that happen. And that's big, big time protection for us. It's not working perfectly now. Our justice system is on a verge of collapse. because of the progressives, but it's still the best in the world.

Okay, a mail segment and finance, money, your money, my money, in the final thought. Right back. Let's go to the mail. We got George Sepatrilyak, Largo, Florida. So the network and cable news ratings are low, and they aren't coming back. I agree. But when they ignore the dreadful border story, not to make Biden look bad, shouldn't it not matter much because hardly anyone is watching? That's true that a lot of people aren't watching, but then they don't know about the catastrophe down there. So it's a double-edged

swore. Stacey Gilmore, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, regarding the recent prisoner exchange a Britney Griner for Victor Boot, I've heard you comment several times, O'Reilly, that President Biden didn't have a choice. If Paul Whalen wasn't an option, could have chose to make no trade at all. That's what I would have done. It's pretty cool.

Keep that woman over there when you can get her out, so we have a disagreement. Polite, Stacey, but I would have gotten around. Jerry Groin, Libertyville, Illinois, Bill. watched you on Cuomo show, liked it, you're right. There are other programs. There are no other programs that allow for debate now. Also, your points were on target, but I don't think Cuomo listened to you. So what? I don't care. I don't care what he listens to. All right? I'm happy he has me on the program so that other people can hear it. I'm not in the business of converting

anybody. All right? That's not what I do. I put forth a strong, cogent, fair argument. you take it or leave it. Richard concierge member, please consider concierge membership for Christmas gifts.
