Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, July 27, 2021, stand up for your country. Now, there's one story I'm not going to cover tonight. It's the hearing, the opening hearings, Nancy Pelosi's committee on the Capitol riot. And the reason I'm not covering it is because I don't have enough information to put the story into context. Let me explain it. It's important. So all three of the cable news networks, they took it live. And you had police officers, capital police officers saying how poorly they were treated. In one case, the guy and black guys said, hey, they called me this
Starting point is 00:00:56 name and that name, and it were obscene names, and it went out over the cable systems. Now, I don't object to that. I'm not objecting to anybody telling the nation what happened to him or her, all right? But I don't know who this guy is. I don't know who that police officer is. He's not been vetted in any way, and he's been selected by Nancy Pelosi. So I'm a little suspicious. There's no meaningful cross-examination. I mean, there are Republicans on the panel, but what are you going to go? Say they didn't say that to you?
Starting point is 00:01:42 You can't do that. But we don't know if the individual is testifying are Trump haters, are Republican haters. We don't know where they're coming from. So for me, until I know that, I can't report on this with any certainty at all. I certainly can't analyze it. So that's why we're not doing it. Now, I'm not telling you not to watch the hearings.
Starting point is 00:02:11 You want to watch and watch them. But you should understand that you are seeing something that has been scripted. Nancy Pelosi is not going to invite anybody in there who's going to say, well, they weren't so bad. that? I mean, she's not. And I don't know whether anybody'd say that anyway. It was pretty horrendous. Okay. Joe Biden's schedule, nothing. Well, that's not fair. I may be, he went over to visit the Director of National Intelligence to find out about national intelligence, and he gets a briefing on National Intelligence every day, so I went over there. He's not really clear, but that's where he went at 220, and he didn't have anything else on his schedule.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Nice work, if you can get it, isn't that the cliche? So yesterday, Mr. Biden met with the Prime Minister of Iraq to announce that combat missions for the U.S. forces will cease by the end of the year. And, okay, we're going to do Afghanistan, by the way, tomorrow. I'm still gathering information. This is looking really bad over in Afghanistan, but I don't want to report and analyze it until I have all the pieces in place.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Anyway, the Iraq-Biden meeting was open to a few questions. And remember, Joe Biden doesn't answer questions. He doesn't hold press conferences. He's not really available. And this is what happened, go. Veterans Affairs is going to have a mandate. you're paying the neck, but I'm going to answer your question because you've known each other for
Starting point is 00:03:55 so long. There's nothing to do with Iraq. I'll answer your question. Yes, Veteran Affairs is going to, in fact, require that all docs working in facilities are going to have to be vaccinated. Okay, so number one, Kelly O'Donnelly, NBC reporter, did her job. All right, so she asked Biden about the mandates in the Veterans Administration that all the personnel get vaccinated. It's a legitimate question. Number two, I don't think Biden was trying to demean her. He was just saying, I your opinion, I'll answer her question. I didn't see anything wrong with that. Partisans made a big deal out of it, not me. I wish President Biden went to answer more questions. I wish he'd do an interview with me. But he won't. Okay. Six months
Starting point is 00:04:48 in, I have said this. I don't want to be boring and repetitive. But I I am now believing that Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter. That's how he's governing the nation. And you know how the Carter years turned out. But I could be wrong. However, most Americans at least agree with me in some way. Listen to this. ABC News poll.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's a phony poll. It's a ridiculous poll. Why? Because they surveyed 31% Democrats, It's 24% Republicans and 36% independence, a seven-point gap. There's no reason for that, ABC. And even with that gap, they asked this question, thinking about the next 12 months, would you say you feel optimistic or pessimistic about the way things are going in this country?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Optimistic, 45, pessimistic, 55. even with that big advantage to the Democrats. So 55% of those answering this bogus poll say they feel pessimistic. Now, they did another poll, same question, on May 1st. Then it was Optimistic 64, Pestimistic 36. So that's dropped 20 points among Democrats about pretty pessimistic. And Joe Biden's in charge. So why is this happening?
Starting point is 00:06:14 COVID's a reason. Doesn't seem to ever go away. But gun violence and the economy are the two other big reasons. So ABC, same company that took the poll, they did a report with the Gun Violence Archive, a research group. And they said from Saturday, July 17th to Friday, July 23rd, a six-day period, at least nine. 915 shootings took place in 47 states and D.C. 430 people dead, 107 wounded. Top states, Illinois had 109 shootings, Texas 63, Pennsylvania 59, California 52, New York 48. That's in six days. So why is this happening? Because the violent drug gangs are running wild. in the urban centers. And what's Joe Biden's solution? He's going to surround the gun stores. It really is when you step back, no matter if you're a Democrat, Republican, independent,
Starting point is 00:07:30 if you're a mugwump, whatever you are, the serious sitting president say, I'm going to solve the gun violence problem by cracking down on gun stores. I mean, really, you know, beyond the pale. All right. Let's bring in a guy who is watching, news coverage because his life depends on it. And what I mean by that is the purveyor of bernardgoldberg.com. The legendary Bernie Goldberg is a media guy, has been for decades, probably since William Howard Taft was president. And he makes a living on Bernardgoberg.com by analyzing the media, among other things. Number one, do you think? think my assessment of President Biden is unfair?
Starting point is 00:08:20 No. I think the easy answer is that journalists traditionally, historically, side with Democrats over Republicans. That's because journalists are liberal, Democrats are liberal, and they see the Democratic views as reasonable views and they see conservative views as way out of the mainstream. So my quick, easy answer is that
Starting point is 00:08:53 they go easier on Biden certainly than they went on Trump. That goes without saying. But I know that you like evidence-based analysis. So I did some research. The Pew Research Center did a study of the first
Starting point is 00:09:09 hundred days. I don't think much difference between the first hundred days and the second hundred days, but in the first hundred days of the Biden administration, and get this bill. 78% of the stories about Joe Biden were negative. 78% were negative, but that was when the audience was conservative. So when the audience was conservative, almost all the stories about Biden were negative.
Starting point is 00:09:38 But when the audience was liberal, only 19% of the stories about Biden were negative. So in plain English, if you're watching Fox, almost everything about Biden is negative. If you're watching CNN or MSNBC, almost all the stories about Biden are positive. And that's because, and I think you'll agree with me on this, that's because this is not any longer about journalism.
Starting point is 00:10:06 This is about business. And the business model is simple. pander to the audience, give the audience what it wants to hear, don't do anything that might make them angry by exposing them to views they don't feel comfortable with. And as a result, almost everything about Biden is negative when it's to a conservative audience and the opposite when it's to a liberal audience. All right, but let's get back to me. It's all about me. All right? So I think President Biden's doing a bad job. And I'm not saying, saying that because many of my viewers on the first TV or Bill O'Reilly.com or listeners on
Starting point is 00:10:48 WABC radio think that as well. I'm saying it because I'm analyzing things like the border, the economy, violence in the streets, foreign affairs, how people are doing financially, and all of it is coming up not good. So therefore, go ahead, go ahead. Let me pick up on two of those specifics that you just mentioned. The world. That's his, he created that mess.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah. If you go back, and I did this on my website a while ago, if you go back and do nothing more than quote Joe Biden, he practically gave the immigrants from Central America and in Britain, invitation to come to the United States. So whatever's happening on the border, that's Biden's problem. That's a mess he created.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Now, if Trump had created a mess to this extent, it would be non-stop New York Times, page one. Okay, but that's obvious. The second thing is crime. I just wrote a column that's going to be up on my website in a few days. crime may very well bring down the Democrats next year and maybe even in 2024
Starting point is 00:12:09 because Joe Biden like most liberals thinks we have a gun problem conservatives and Republicans think we have a criminal problem and Joe Biden doesn't want to state an uncomfortable truth that a lot of these criminals
Starting point is 00:12:28 I would venture to say almost all other people you see looting high-end stores in big cities and casually walking out of the stores because they don't fear any consequences. Not only are those cities run by Democrats, but Joe Biden doesn't want to talk about the one root cause that Joe Biden and Democrats don't want to talk about.
Starting point is 00:12:50 The only root cause they don't want to talk about. Fatherlessness. I would venture to say almost every single one of those people looting stores grew up in a house without a father present. That's the problem. But it's even worse than that. The vast majority of people being shot and killed are African-American.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I mean, I think in some places like Chicago, it's 90%. Right. The victims of violent crime are African-American. Yet you see no urgency, just like the lawyer, no urgency to stop the gunfire to confront the drug gangs who are doing it. Everybody knows it's the drug gangs. It's not just
Starting point is 00:13:37 bank robbers doing it. It's drug gangs. And they're all minority gangs. The only black lives that matter are these people, to the people you're talking about. The only black lives that matter are the ones that get hurt when a white cop is involved. That's right. So Americans know that, according to this ABC poll,
Starting point is 00:13:58 they are pessimistic that Joe Biden's going to solve any problem. And here we go back to President Biden. I have seen nothing, not only in his six months as president, but in his senatorial career as well. I have seen no problem-solving ability, none. And Jimmy Carter had none either, which is why his administration spun out of, of control in the economy, in gasoline, in a variety of different ways that people were alive
Starting point is 00:14:37 back then. You saw it with your own eyes. Biden is the same skill set that Carter had, which is nothing. And yet he got elected president. And yet he got elected president for two reasons. One, he wasn't Bernie Sanders because they figured Bernie is too far to the left. He can't win. so they nominated Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Two, he wasn't Donald Trump. That is a major factor. America didn't say, we want Joe Biden. We think this guy is so charismatic, so visionary. We have to vote for Joe Biden to be president. No, they didn't want Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:15:15 They didn't want four more years of Donald Trump. That's why he's president. But I don't believe, I believe Joe Biden is the president technically. But I think he's sitting in the backseat while the progressives are driving the car. And that's why they don't want to blame criminals for crime because if you blame criminals,
Starting point is 00:15:35 the progressive ring of the party is going to get all upset. No, no, you can't blame criminals. You can blame racism, but you can blame racism for everything, by the way. So final question I have predicted here, and obviously in 17 months a lot could change. But I have predicted here a massive backlash against the woke movement, the progressive movement, Joe Biden, Democrats in general in the midterm elections of 2022. I believe the GOP as ineffective as they are right now, and the Republican
Starting point is 00:16:10 Party is not effective right now, I believe they will take back the House and the Senate in November 22, which effectively will end the Biden presidency and the progressive movement. I say you're on to something because history, for one thing, history is on the GOP side. In almost every election since World War II, the president in power during the first midterm election lost seats. I think it's about 26 seats in the House and about two seats in the Senate. So history is on the Republican side, but this time around, they also have several other other things on their side. They have the border on their side. They have pending inflation on their side. And to me, this is the most single, single most important. They have crime on their
Starting point is 00:17:06 side because suburban voters who deserted the Republican Party and voted for Joe Biden, they see what's going on. And they're worried that that crime is going to hit their neighborhood. That's right. Just as a fancy section of Washington, D.C. a few days ago. It's no longer in their neighborhood solely. Now it could be in your neighborhood, and they don't want that. And I think that's going to be the biggest single factor giving Republicans the advantage. Yeah. I mean, if the economy worsens, obviously, it's going to even be worse than we think it's going to be. You know, I heard a rumor that if people sign up for bernardgolberg.com, and you actually run into them somewhere in your travels
Starting point is 00:17:54 that you'll buy them dinner. Is that true? If I say yes, just to go along with your silly nonsense, I'm going to be a hit-up for all sorts of dinners. You're not going to be able to go out of the house. You better get a gold
Starting point is 00:18:10 card of what of those platinum that's American Express. I want to thank seriously. Seriously, I want to thank your many viewers in your audience who came over to the website. And I welcome anybody who hasn't come over. Come on over.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I will not agree with you. You will not agree with me 100% of the time, just as I assume you don't agree with Bill O'Reilly 100% of the time, but neither he nor I will pander to you. We'll give you our honest opinion. Sometimes you'll agree most of the time, I think in my case, and sometimes you won't. If you need somebody to agree with you 100% of the time,
Starting point is 00:18:47 please don't waste your time coming to bernardgoburg.com. All right. And there are plenty other places to go for that, that's for sure. All right, Bernie, stay well. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks for helping us out today. Appreciate it. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.
Starting point is 00:19:01 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. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau,
Starting point is 00:19:41 you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text Billsbury. bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326-5576-5576, or text bill to 998899. Now, here's a very interesting story in New Jersey, Union County, New Jersey, Roselle Park. A 54-year-old woman, I'm not even going to say her name because I just don't want to bring on any hate to her. put a bunch of obscene signs in her mother's front yard, her mother, obviously, elderly, and the signs say F. Biden and all that are obscene signs. Okay, so the town got a judge,
Starting point is 00:20:33 Gary Bundy, to remove three of the most obscene signs on the property, and now there's a court fight over it. So the ACLU is representing the woman pro bono for free, saying, no, no, she is right to put the obscene Biden signs up on her mother's lawn. The New York Times even agrees with the woman and the ACLU, but I do not. I think this is a local issue. And if Roselle Park, the people who run it, or my town or your town, if they don't want public obscenity, they can make an ordinance, a town ordinance. It says, we don't. We don't. We don't. We don't don't want public obscenity. And if you do that, you're going to be sanctioned or fined or whatever it may be. Because this gets out of control. And, you know, there are children
Starting point is 00:21:29 involved. And a woman is unbelievable that says, well, no children walk by my mother's yard. Well, come on. Come on. And have children seen and heard obscenity? Yeah, far too much of it. But I don't want that in my neighborhood. Do you? Because once this starts, then, it never stops. Then we have hatred on display everywhere. Now, you have a constitutional right to hate, but not to put people in a not threatening circumstance. You can't say this is threatening behavior, but it is obscene behavior. And you are, as an American citizen, of a right not to be subjected to that if your town agrees. So I think the woman is wrong and the ACLU and the New York Times are wrong, as they almost always are, even though they're defending
Starting point is 00:22:31 an attack on Joe Biden. All right, COVID. So the CDC, they don't know what to do about this variant that has hit the unvaccinated population of the United States heart, they don't know what to do. So 30% of us are unvaccinated. And this delta variant COVID thing is now coming strong. And a lot of people getting it who are again unvaccinated. 97% of those hospitalized in the last month or so are unvaccinated according to the hospitals themselves. So now the CDC doesn't know what to do. because 30% and a lot of people. So they're issuing guidance, not mandates, because they can't really do that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And the guidance is if you go inside in some high COVID areas like Florida, the highest rate of COVID there now, then you should wear a mask. That's what the CDC is saying. Is there anything wrong with that? No. It's not a mandate. They're not forcing it.
Starting point is 00:23:35 If you're a private business, you can demand, that anybody coming into your store or your concert or whatever you have indoors has to wear a mask. You can do that. Now, I at this point, will not patronize those businesses. I've made it clear. All right? I don't want to carry a mask around. I'm vaccinated. I'm not going to be foolish. I'm not going to go into crowds of strangers because no vaccination is 100%. None. But the stats are overwhelming that if you are vaccinated, you are protected, and even if you get COVID, it's going to be a very light situation. You're not going to be in a hospital, unless you have terrible immune system. You know, there are always caveats. But there's a lot of discussion about this because the CDC doesn't really know what to do. Now, the federal government can't mandate anything here. All right. So Biden can't come out tomorrow and say, I'm signing an executive order, says you all have to wear masks. Unconstitutional.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But the states can, as we discussed yesterday. And of course, Newsom, the governor of California, is taking the lead. Go. Look, we are mindful that we are here at important juncture in the history of this pandemic, this disease. And while it's absolutely true, and I appreciated the comments, that California is leading the nation in terms of doses administered over 43 and a half million. doses have been administered in this state, 17.6 million more than any other state. We are mindful of the increase in positivity rate. We're mindful of the efficiency of the Delta virus. We're mindful of the increase in case rates and hospitalization rates in this state
Starting point is 00:25:25 because too many people have chosen to live with this virus. We're at a point in this epidemic, this pandemic, where choice, individuals choice not to get vaccinated is now, impacting the rest of us in a profound and devastating and deadly way. Well, that's not true. It's not a deadly way. Those vaccinated vast majority on maybe 99.9% are not going to die. But the COVID thing isn't going away because of the unvaccinated. That's the truth. Now, news of themselves in big trouble. So the recall election in September, he may get booted. A guy named Larry Elder. who you may know, he's a commentator on radio and TV, he's in the race, and the polls show that he's
Starting point is 00:26:15 gaining strength. Now, Biden, Newsom is going to get booted because he overstepped his boundaries on his COVID. He ruined thousands of businesses by overreacting as he is now. But it is a terrible situation. Okay. The cities that have said you have to wear masks inside now, these are mandates, are Los Angeles, St. Louis, Palm Beach, Florida, Pasadena, California, right adjacent to Los Angeles, and Savannah, Georgia. Okay, so those cities can do that. Federal government cannot. In San Francisco, the private businesses, the bars, say, You can't come in and drink unless you have proof of vaccine on San Francisco. In Boston, Boston College, Catholic University says you can't come on campus
Starting point is 00:27:13 if you're a student in the fall unless you're vaccinated. So about 600 colleges have done that out of 5,000. And I think more will do it. And it makes sense because the kids are living in dormitories and they're into the classrooms. it's a tough one. But Boston College is a big, big school. So 600 have mandates. Students have to be vaccinated out of 5,000. And a lot of the other 5,000 have rules and, you know, my two kids are turning universities and they're both vaccinated. That's all I can tell you. Japan's crazy with COVID because only 30% of the population there has been vexed as opposed to 70% of
Starting point is 00:28:05 we in America. I wrote my message of the day on how lucky we are in the USA. I hope you read it on Bill O'Reilly.com. Well, anyway, in Japan, they had just today, because remember, they're ahead in time, 3,000 new COVID cases. 3,000 one day, Japan. As far as the Olympics, it could turn 155 cases linked to the Olympic Games. Now, in the Olympics themselves, ratings are going up a little bit. It's a basically three-way race for dominance between the United States, which by tape time led with 25 total medals. China had 21, Russia 18. So we got to be China because China is so awful that we got to beat them. So more people are watching. I'm not opposed to that. I've tuned in occasionally. I'm for Katie Ledecki and a lot of the other magnificent U.S. athletes that have nothing to do with
Starting point is 00:29:04 politics. Let's see what else on the Olympic front. Okay. So CBS Morning News, very liberal outfit, as they all are in the morning. And they bring on a guy named William Rodin. Used to be a New York Times columnist now works for ESPN. So Rodin apparently is objecting to seeing the American flag at the Olympic Games, roll of the tape. I love the opening ceremonies of March of Congress. Then I just realized, you know, man, particularly after these last four years, I had it wrong. Nationalism is not good.
Starting point is 00:29:42 We've seen the rise of white nationalism. Nationalism is not good. And also this whole idea, I keep thinking back on the capital riots. And I saw a lot of, you know, U.S. flags. Right. So now when I see the flag and the flag raises, man, what, what? What America am I living in? The America that has allowed you success, Mr. Rodin.
Starting point is 00:30:04 That's the America you're living in. Okay? So this guy, he doesn't want to see the flag, the American flag. He's entitled to his opinion. I don't want to see him. Ever. But I had to show you the soundbite to show you how this lunacy is all over the place. Now, ESPN, I mean, if they didn't have football,
Starting point is 00:30:27 pro football and college football, they'd be gone. I mean, it's just crazy left. And who owns the SBN? Disney. Scott Hawley, Senator from Missouri. He doesn't like Critical Waves Theory, neither do I. I wrote my column on it, posted on Bill O'Reilly.com. I hope you read it.
Starting point is 00:30:48 It will arm you with the facts. So you've got to take the emotion out of these arguments. So Senator Hawley has introduced the love, America Act in the Senate. Roll it. It's time to reclaim that and to teach our children who we are, who they are. And that's why my bill would say, listen, if a school district gets federal money, you've got to teach kids the basic truth about the country, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration, Pledge of Allegiance.
Starting point is 00:31:15 These are the things, the documents that express the ideals that unite us as Americans. You've got to replace the lies with the truth. And that's what I'm trying to do. Okay. There's a problem, though. going to pass, by the way, because the Senate is a Democrat with Kamala Harris and tiebreaker. But the problem is who defines the truth? You know, who does that? So the progressives are trying to ram this critical race theory down the throats of school
Starting point is 00:31:44 children who have no idea what the truth is. They're six. Okay, and that's horrible. It's horrendous. But if you pass a law, federal law, it says, we're not going to give you money unless you teach the truth, then somebody's got to decide. what that truth is. And that becomes very problematic. So the way to do this is to, it's a local issue. And school boards and principals have got to be responsible. I know many of them are not.
Starting point is 00:32:16 But the folks have got to rise up in your town, if you see craziness, you got to fight it. So I taught history, it's not hard to teach it. It's not a lot. It's not a hard to teach it because things happened and you pass those on to the urchins, both good and bad. Now, this is one of the biggest scandals that I've ever seen in my reporting lifetime, the Durham report. So you'll remember 27 months ago, Attorney General William Barr, under President Trump, appointed John Durham, U.S. Attorney from Connecticut, to look into whether the FBI or intelligence officials committed crimes when they investigated the Russian collusion fraud. 27 months ago, we had nothing.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars spent. We don't know anything. So now, the Biden Justice Department says, when we get something, and nobody knows when that is, We'll put it out to the public. Okay, fine. 27 months? No. Something wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm on it, but I don't know what to tell you. There aren't any leaks coming out of there. They're buttoned down. I think they are given people on the Durham Investigative Committee lie detector tests about whether you talked about. this outside. Think that's what they're doing, and that's why you haven't heard any leaks. All right, so this comes under the file, you reap what you sow, a biblical reference. So you may remember former California Senator Barbara Boxer, Uber Liberal. Okay, whatever the
Starting point is 00:34:16 progressive cause was, Ms. Boxer loved it. She is 80 years old now. She was on Monday walking down the street in Oakland, California, and she was attacked. She was mugged near Jack London Square, which is a prominent square in Oakland, where people, tourists, go. The Boxer was attacked on the street and mugged, okay, 80 years old. Here's what she said. Go. Well, he pushed me very hard. It's hard for me to describe what happened because it was so fast, but when I started to move away from him. He came behind me, pushed me hard, and then before I could fall almost like he grabbed my phone in the front. So it's just hard to put it all together. All right. So apparently she's not hurt, but the guy did assault her and stole her phone
Starting point is 00:35:13 and other stuff. So when I saw this, I went, the first thing I said rather to being sympathetic to Senator Boxer, which I should have been. Okay. I should have. have said, gee, I hope she's okay. But I didn't. I didn't do that. And that's my failing. All right. I said, you know, what goes around comes around. Because Boxer and her progressive cadre has allowed all this out of control crime. They don't want to stop it. They don't want to do anything to stop it. But still, it was my failing not to put the welfare of the physical welfare of a fellow citizen ahead of my scorn for her ideology. Now, we hear a lot about totalitarianism, so listen up. This day in history, July 27, 1943, the Nazi army, the Wehrmock had invaded the Soviet
Starting point is 00:36:19 Union and was on its way to defeating that country. If that had happened, Adolf Hitler might not have lost the war. So in the middle of this hellacious fight, the dictator of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, made a new law outlawing cowards, quote, panic makers and cowards must be liquidated on the spot. Not one step backward without orders and higher from higher headquarters. All right. Commanders who abandon whatever, whatever, whatever. Okay, so basically Stown says, we're going to shoot and kill anybody who retreats
Starting point is 00:37:02 or shows any cowardice whatsoever. We're going to execute them. Our own guys. That's totalitarianism, July 27, 1943. By the way, as you know, the Russians did defeat the Germans, and that was a turning point of. the war. Quick break, back with mail segment and a final thought that I think you'll enjoy.

My wife teaches at a small private school. a very generous grant from a private foundation that has stipulated the
Starting point is 00:38:49 school must spend a couple of thousand dollars every year teaching critical race theory material I wouldn't do it if I were in the classroom I wouldn't do it I just say flat out no they fired me at soon period Chris concierge remember great column bill if critical race theory doesn't define out and out communism I I don't know what does. Lenin would be proud. Lenin would like it. It's on the road to socialism, communism, but it's not, it's just a part of it, not the driving force, but it's horrible. Judith, Bill, the reason people don't want to get vaccinated is we can't trust anyone in medicine.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Well, Judith, that doesn't really hold up under scrutiny that theory because the medical community has wiped out most illnesses on a face of the earth. Life expectancy in the USA and almost all other countries way up because of medical science. So not trusting it, I don't know if that's a good place to be. David, once again, Bill, you've cogently stated the pitfalls of not being vaccinated. Originally, I was not committal. However, I decided after a conversation with my doctor that I had nothing to lose and more to gain by getting the vac. So I did. And everybody in my family now has it.
Starting point is 00:40:10 You made the key decision to talk to your doctor. That is the key decision. Okay. George Cooney, Wanda Net, Michigan. My Body, My Choice is the mantra for pro-choice people, not so much for COVID-19 vaccine. It's a good point. Did impose that on you in a heartbeat. The pro-choice people don't pro-choice when it comes to COVID.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Donna, you're exactly right. And that's why I'm not watching cable network news. I'm tired of wokeness. Robert, the problem with the Olympics goes a bit deeper. Much of the Olympics now dominated by professional athletes. They play for money, not for the school or state or national pride. That's because all the countries are professionals. So we in the United States had to do it.
Starting point is 00:40:57 And we did it. Brian Taplet, Cincinnati, do you think the reason there is so much wokenness at the Olympics because many of the woke athletes want to sponsor? No. I think they just talk amongst themselves. as they want to be accepted, and that's what's going on. One more letter, one more letter. Ian Edgehill, Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Excellent final thought on the long game bill. As I always told my co-pilots, no fast hands on my flight deck. Respond, don't react. Excellent. Respond, don't react.
