Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, March 6, 2003, Stand Up for Your Country.
Well, I posted a column yesterday on Bill O'Reilly.com saying that many Americans, perhaps most, despise people with whom they disagree.
And the reason for that is primarily the media, both corporate and social.
And you know I'm right.
The vitriol that we hear and see every day is beyond anything ever experienced in this country.
Now, the essential problem is money.
So various corporations believe they can make money.
marketing a political point of view to a section of America, which concurs with that point of
view. So facts, fairness, perspective, gone. We want money, and we're going to tell you what you
want to hear. That is very, very different than when I was studying journalism at Boston
University, you know, 40 years ago. I mean, it's just a stunning thing to watch over my
lifetime of journalism. Anyway, these corporations run from the top down, which means if you
dissent from the point of view you are being told to have, you can kiss your career goodbye.
Okay. So I asked my staff to zero in on what is now the most liberal television operation in the United States of America, and that is NBC News owned by Comcast. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. We begin with the CEO of Comcast. His name is Brian Roberts.
He is 63 years old, a lifer at Comcast, been there 33 years, based in Philadelphia.
Now, he runs the show, okay?
He is the last word.
It is not a democracy.
If you study NBC News, there is only one visible Republican, and she doesn't have a real news job.
Her name is Jenna Bush.
She is the daughter of Bush the Younger, President Bush the Younger.
They have a few other commentators that maybe are Republicans, but very, very few.
The whole outfit NBC News is either liberal or agnostic.
They don't show what their hand.
But certainly NBC News is programmed.
is left. A whole network is devoted to that, MSNBC. And I write about MSNBC in the column telling you exactly
how they are trying to make money off division, in this case racial division. Now, with CNN trying
to pull back from the abyss, the ideological abyss, because the network got so damaged
by its previous President Jeff Zucker.
And remember, CNN was sold.
Okay, so it doesn't have what it used to have,
which was the mandate to be left weighing in hate Trump.
But the damage was so extensive there that they had pulled back.
They're not in the middle.
They're still left, but they're not nearly what NBC News is.
So let's get back to Brian Roberts.
His wife, Eileen, donated an astounding,
$152,000 to the Biden campaign in 2020.
152,000 to the Biden campaign.
That's just unbelievable.
Roberts himself has donated 76,000 to Democratic candidates since 2006 and 13,500 to
Republican candidates.
In 2015, Roberts, who is a buddy of Barack Obama,
attended the state dinner for the Chinese president, Xi.
Roberts has a home on Martha's Vineyard, where the Obamas have a home and their buddies.
They golf together.
Roberts threw a big party fundraiser for the Obamas.
And now here is the kicker.
Comcast, which owns NBC News,
is donating $100 million towards social justice
to, quote, fight injustice and inequality
against any race, ethnicity, gender identity,
sexual orientation, or ability, unquote.
$100 million from the Comcast Corporation.
So there is no doubt that NBC knew,
which answers to Brian Roberts is going to take a liberal-slash-democrat slant.
Yet, do they say that?
Does any media beside me report it?
Have you heard it?
Now, surely you've heard that Fox News is in the tank for Republicans.
Surely you know that.
Surely you know the management of Fox News has been attacked, and now it's every single day.
NBC, have you heard any of that that I just told you?
Any of it?
No.
Because the left protects its own.
So most corporate media is left.
Now you would say, okay, O'Reilly, well, why wouldn't they make more money these corporations in the media if they appeal to everybody?
Well, you can't do that anymore.
Americans who consume news, and that's not the majority, believe me.
Most Americans don't know anything about the news.
They're not interested.
But the Americans who do pay attention to the news, all right, are divided.
And many of them only go to media that tells them what they want to hear.
So you can't make any money in the middle anymore.
you just can unless you pull off a stunning upset and have the you know break stories and
investigative stuff but nobody wants to do that because it's too expensive to do it so anyway
when you have a powerful powerful company like Comcast remember Comcast runs cable companies
cable outlets all right and they are dramatic
dramatically left wing and in favor the Democratic Party.
Come on, look at the numbers.
The numbers are staggering.
And no one knows this.
You're living in a totalitarian world.
What totalitarian regimes do is hide the truth from the people.
If you knew all about this, please do me a favor.
me a letter at Bill o'Reilly.com email and say, I knew all about Comcast, Brian Roberts, NBC News
from this vehicle. This is how I learned it. I would really, really like to know because I don't
believe it's ever been out there to this extent. And it is the biggest reason that we Americans now
despise each other because we're divided into tribes.
That's the column, all right?
And there are more in the media, far more liberal tribes
than conservative tribes, although talk radio, to be fair,
is dominated by conservatives.
They tried the liberal angle and nobody listened.
Never quite figured that out, but nobody listened.
So talk radio on is right wing.
conservative Republican leaning. No doubt about that. But television, which has much, much more
influence national television than talk radio does, is dramatically left. Let's see. Do you leave
anything out here? I mean, I thought we did a pretty good job researching this. And every
thing I told you is absolutely in stone true. There's no, I don't have to slant any of this.
facts are the facts and you know you can do the what aboutism and I know the
left will do it what about Fox and O-A-N and Newsmax it doesn't even come
close the money and the power don't come close to CBS ABC NBC CNN it's not even the
same hemisphere. And that's why. Okay, and that's the memo. Let's go to Biden today. Once again,
did none of the people's business. The man does not administrate to this country. He went out
and gave a speech to the firefighters in D.C. for what? I mean, okay, good. Firefighters are great.
My uncle was a firefighter. He died of lung cancer fighting fires in New York City.
respect toward the firefighters, absolutely, but can you do anything, Mr. President, just
anything at all, solve any problem? Beyond belief, 40% of Americans still support him.
Pete Buttigieg, I said he was finished in the public arena he is, but he's trying to hold
on, okay? So he didn't go until Trump went to the train site in East Palestine, Ohio,
finally went, but it was too late. And the airline thing is still a disaster. But Buttigieg,
here's how he replies to his incompetence. Budajid is incompetent. Here's how he replies.
Quote, it's really rich to see some of these folks, his critics, the former president, these
Fox News hosts, who are literally lifelong hard-carrying members of the East Coast elite,
whose top African honor policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and it wouldn't know their way
around a T.J. Max, that their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely
care about the forgotten middle of the country. I think Tucker Carlson knows the difference
between a T.J. Max and Coles, unquote. So this is one of the lamest defenses of a poor record
I've ever seen. It's deflect, deflect, deflect, tax cut for the rich, elite. I was like,
Come on. Okay. So yesterday, JetBlue, 37% of all their planes were delayed. Now, they're going to say, oh, it's the weather. Okay. Delta, which pretty much competes with JetBlue along the same root system, 21%. So JetBlue, and this is almost going on for a year. It was a year April where I had that confrontation with the JetBlue.
guy at JFK Airport. And JetBlue hasn't gotten any better. It's the same all thing. You
don't have enough pilots. They don't have enough flight personnel. They don't have enough
baggage. They don't have enough anything. Yet every day, they're open for business, taking
people's money and providing this kind of abysmal service. Has people who had judged the
Secretary of Transportation done one thing? Does it find JetBlue? No. Every day. You've got to be
crazy. Fly that airline. I mean, you just have to be. Okay, Atlanta. That is a very interesting
story. So in Atlanta, they want to build a police training center. There is a group called
Rise Up, which is basically the same as Antifa. Rise Up. Remember that. It organized protests
against the building of this police training center in Atlanta. So yesterday, there was some
violence. All right. There was a demonstration, and people showed up with Molotov cocktails,
bricks, and threw them at police, set vehicles on fire, and, you know, did what they do.
35 protesters were arrested. 33 of the 35 were not from Georgia. They were outside,
vegetators, okay?
23 out of the 35 have been charged with domestic terrorism.
That is a federal charge because if you tried it in Atlanta, nothing would happen.
So keep your eye.
Now, are you going to hear about Rise Up from the Biden Justice Department?
No, they're after the Catholics.
They're not going to hear about Rise Up.
All right, terrible situation.
But again, if you hear anybody reporting that beside me, let me know.
Walmart.
So Walmart is like a cash cow, right?
You get good products at the lowest price.
You go to Walmart.
It's noted for that.
That's how the Walmart people have made billions of.
of dollars over the years. There were two stores in Portland, Oregon, two Walmart stores.
They're leaving. Okay? And I used to live in Portland. So I know that was one of the most
placid towns when I lived there in the mid 80s that I have ever been to. It rained all the time.
It was beautiful. A lot of people stoned on various things, mellow. Now it's a combat zone.
And that's why Walmarts leave it.
So they close the only two Walmarts in Portland, Oregon.
And they say it's because of financial performance.
The truth is it's because they're shoplifting.
And that, of course, impacts on financial performance
because the Portland authorities won't prosecute shoplifters.
There you go.
Fauci.
So this guy is really emerging as a major villain now.
Fauci was the face of the Centers for Disease Control.
Work for Trump.
Work for Biden.
Got out there in his little superiority showcase.
I'm the science.
I'm all that.
Okay.
So according to the New York Post, in February 2020,
Fauci commissioned a paper.
paper, scientific paper, to disprove the Wuhan lab leak theory.
Because Fauci was invested in the bat theory, not the Chinese lab, the COVID leaked out of
it. Okay. All along, Fauci has cast aspersions, word of the day, on the lab leak. Go.
I have always said that the high likelihood is that this is a natural occurrence.
I didn't dismiss anything.
I just said it's a high likelihood that this is a natural occurrence
from the environment of an animal reservoir that we have not yet identified.
Okay, so that's not true according to a whole bunch of investigations.
Fauci has ruined the centers,
for disease controls reputation.
You trust them?
I don't.
But Fauci had a media partner, actually two.
NBC News, which we talked about, and CNN.
Let's zero in on CNN.
Go.
Tom Cotton, one of Donald Trump's staunchest allies
in the Senate, suggested that the virus
might have originated in a high security
biochemical lab in China.
In the 1980s, I remember when the far left trafficked in rumors about HIV having been invented
in CIA labs, the far right has now found its own virus conspiracy theory.
And then there's this theory, widely debunked, this paper from two Chinese researchers
that says it is plausible that the virus leaked accidentally from one of two labs near
the Wuhan seafood market.
widely debunked by whom, CNN.
So Fauci had two media partners,
which is why I'm spending so much time
on this media stuff, okay?
And the partners bolstered his false assertion
that COVID came from a bat or some other animal.
And believe me, that's what he was peddling.
Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
I'm Miranda Devine.
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, 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 us at Apple
Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. So when you have that, when you have somebody
peddling something false, a politician or a member of an administration, and then you're backed
up with two powerful media companies, MSNBC and CNN, that takes root. That becomes the
the truth. But it wasn't the truth, or it doesn't seem to be the truth. So we were deceived.
Americans abducted in Mexico. Another unbelievable story. Tomorrow I'm going to do the talking points
memo on this, because details are still sketchy right now. But we know that four Americans
crossed the border into Matamoros, Mexico, okay, almost immediately.
their car with North Carolina plates was attacked, was people shot at it, and the Americans
were kidnapped. Now, there are varying reports that they're dead or they're, I can't
confirm any of that other than the State Department and Mexican authorities have confirmed
that four Americans drove into Matamoros and they were kidnapped. Who kidnapped them? The car
of course, who control that city. Now, why would any American go to Matamoros? That's not spring
break territory. That's not Cancun. I don't know. There's one theory floating around that they
went for medical, you can buy drugs, legal drugs, cheaper in Mexico, and they went there to do
that. I don't know. I will know tomorrow. And we're going to do a big thing on this. But I will
tell you, you are out just like JetBlue. If you go to Mexico, unless you have to go for some
business or something like that, but if you go there for leisure, you're crazy. That whole
country is controlled by gangsters, violent gangsters, who will kill you in a snap. They don't
care. And there's no authority to stop them, which is what my memory.
Amos going to be about tomorrow. Great Britain. So they have a big problem with illegal immigration.
People come from Europe in boats across the North Sea, the English Channel, the Irish Sea, wherever it may be.
And they want to live in England or Scotland or Wales. Okay. So they're besieging.
So there's a new prime minister. You must know that. Sunac, 42 years.
years old. He's the leader of the Conservative Party, and he's been a prime minister since October.
We haven't heard much about him. But tomorrow, a new law is enacted in Great Britain. The old law
said, if you can arrive on land here, you can apply for asylum. Just like we have here, our law is
tougher. You have to go to a port of entry. Biden doesn't enforce that, which is why he should be
impeached and thrown out, but that'll never happen. But in England, if you get to land,
you can apply for asylum, no longer. Tomorrow, a new law says, you come here illegally, no application
for asylum, and we're sending you back right away. Now, that's going to cost the British government
of fortune to ship those people back to the Middle East and Africa, where that's the primary
places they come to England from. A lot of Pakistanis there, a lot of Muslims.
I think it's more than 10% of British population now is a Muslim.
But they're getting tough in England, which is far more liberal socially than America.
So everybody knows that you can't sustain this kind of human wave illegal immigration except Biden.
And Biden doesn't care.
But Sunak is enacting that law tomorrow.
Smart life. So my message of the day is on Saul Olinsky's Rules for Radicals, all right? And you may have
heard a rumor that Hillary Clinton wrote a paper on it when she was in Wellesley College of
Massachusetts. I can't confirm that, but the rules for radicals are out there and they're being
used. And that's my message of the day. What the biggest rule for radicals, according to Saul
Linsky, who died in 1972, crazy left winger. He's with Noam Chomsky and these guys, right?
American communists. Is ridicule your opponent? I mean, really ridicule. That is your best weapon
short of violence. And we are seeing violence now, as we did in Atlanta. But ridicule,
ridicule, ridicule. Now, let's go to you, the No Spin News listener and viewers.
Fewer. Many of us, and I think I've been guilty of this in the past too, ridicule people with whom we disagree. I mean, really zero in and ridicule them. Not polite disagreement, not constructive criticism disagreement. Ridicule. Try to hurt them. Ridicule are you trying to hurt. Even if you make up and shake hands and if you're in a family.
and apologize and say people don't forget that and this is why it's in the smart life segment
tonight if you ridicule somebody i mean really go in and hurt them they may forgive you and we're
going to deal with that in a final thought but they're never going to forget it and your
relationship will never be the same hey i'm katelyn 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
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.
Ever. Even if you're a parent, you ridicule your children, humiliate your children.
They're still going to be your children.
They'll still love you, I hope, and you'll love them, but they're never going to forget it.
So before you do that, pull it back, pull it back, and find another way.
You owe it to your children, to your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, your friends, to tell them what you think.
And if they're wrong to say, you know, I don't agree, and maybe find a constructive way to do it.
But ridicule them, and that goes back to the hatred that Americans are feeling against one another to ridicule.
I can't even watch most of these television programs anymore because they're so hateful.
And you know who the suspects are, some of the most successful media people in country.
That's all they do is ridicule.
Smart life, don't do it.
You're going to hurt you.
And the person you're ridiculing.
The stay in history, March 6, 1981, okay?
42 years ago, Walter Cronkite signed off.
Roll it.
The Federal Election Commission said today that former President Ford's 176 campaign
spent $23.5 million, most of the federal election.
of it federal funds. The commission disallowed $700 spent on parking tickets by campaign workers.
So Cronkite was the most trusted broadcaster when he retired on March 6, 1981. He's an interesting
guy, Cronkite. He anchored the CBS evening news for 19 years and they dominated.
Much like Johnny Carson dominated late night TV on NBC. Crunkie dominated.
but he had tough competition up against him.
Huttley Brinkley on NBC.
ABC really never got it together
until Peter Jennings took over.
But anyway, people trusted Kronkite.
Now, I interviewed him shortly after he retired.
And I had never met him before,
but I interviewed him the way I interview everybody.
I knew he was a liberal man.
But there's nothing wrong with that
if you're not trying to indoctrinate your viewers and listeners.
But I wanted him to expose himself a little bit.
Okay?
And if you watch the interview, I did it for Channel 3 in Hartford when I was working up there.
You get a little of it.
I didn't pound him.
We were a CBS affiliate.
I couldn't pound Walter Crock.
But I was pulling stuff out of him.
The two nuggets that I pulled out of him.
And remember, he anchored CBS for 19 years.
years. And then he was 65, and they said, you got to retire, but he didn't have to retire.
The reason he retired is that Rune Arledge at ABC was going to hire Dan Rather.
And CBS didn't want to lose, rather, because he was the heir apparent to Cronkite.
So they booted Walter out and put Dan in. Now, Cronkite did not like Rather at all.
And that was clear in the interview, okay, because rather was a bomb thrower and did a lot of political stuff, you know, because rather it was way, way further left than Kronkite.
So anyway, a few years later, I don't know what the occasion was.
I can't remember it, but I did have a little correspondence with Kronkite, and I said, do you regret retiring at 65?
He goes, yes, I should have stayed.
I should have toughed it out.
So Walter Cronkite, 42 years ago, today was his last broadcast.
We have a lively mail segment and a final thought on forgiveness, which ties in to the ridicule thing.
Right back.
All right.
Let's go to the mail.
We'll go up to Saipan in the Pacific.
You know where Saipan is?
Okay.
It's in the Western Pacific, big World War II battle there.
Americans victorious. So Barry Wicksman lives there and watches the no-spin news. He says,
Bill, do you sense people are finally waking up to the lies and incompetence of the Biden administration?
Saipan, by the way, is still American territory. 40% of Americans support Biden. So the majority don't.
So waking up, I don't know, you know, I think the 40%, maybe there's a few of them that are just dense, but most of them are stalwart Democrats.
Robert Everett, Howard, Pennsylvania, just saw your interview with Benzeman, can't believe you haven't figured it out, O'Reilly.
The reason the Democratic administration is letting in millions of migrants is because they're going to get all their votes.
Well, Robert, with all due respect, I have reported that many, many times.
It's called the replacement theory.
Okay, you bring in foreign nationals to replace the votes of Americans who were born here.
But it doesn't stack if you look at the Hispanic-American vote.
So that's going more and more for Republicans.
though Hispanics are different, ideologically, every way, than some of the other Democratic
voting blocks.
It's more about tilting and weakening the current white supremacy structure.
This is how the Democratic Party looks at it.
Now, Biden's the poster boy for white supremacy structure.
supremacy structure. This is why it's so crazy. But now Biden thinks that he's a reformer.
Sandra on the message boards, Bill, do you still believe a national divorce is not going to
happen in any toxic relationship, but divorce is the only answer? It's impossible logistically,
Sandra? I mean, if you want to just talk to people that you agree with, you can certainly do that.
You can certainly do it, but there's not going to be any
official anything, the Constitution is a Constitution. The 50 states stay.
Zane, concierge member, it is hard to love the other side when 90% of what they want is to
destroy our great country, modify it to a point that it's not recognizable or change
the capitalist government to socialism. I don't say you have to love the other side.
Who's saying that? You just, you got to deal.
deal with them in a way that isn't destructive to you.
I don't believe me.
I don't love the other side.
I don't.
Paul, Mr. O'Reilly, I'm a premium member, and I've read all of your killing books.
I can't wait for the next one.
My question is this now that Mansion and Cinema have left the Democratic Party
and declared themselves independent do the Democrats still have an advantage in the Senate?
But Paul, Manchin and Cinema have not left the Democratic Party.
If you would be kind enough, Paul, just to tell me where you got that.
Okay?
But I'm happy to correct the record, but I'm worried that, you know, our viewers and listeners see this stuff on the Internet, and they didn't leave.
They're both still Democrats.
George, concierge member, James Buchanan was a bit.
bad president because of inaction, but really
what could he have done? A Blinken
couldn't stop the war between the states from happening.
Mahon.
George,
you got to reread killing Lincoln.
James Buchanan
got elected in 1856.
As soon as he was elected,
the southern states started
to assault
union representatives
in the South.
Like arms depots, post offices, anything associated with the U.S. government were being brutalized by people in the South.
What did Buchanan do?
It's like the crime today.
You don't punish the criminals, there's going to be more crime.
You don't punish the rebels when they started this is going to be more rebellion.
Buchanan was absolutely, without a doubt, the worst president this country has ever had.
Jim Woods, East Mauritius, New York, out here on Long Island, has a tip.
Raw honey.
It has anti-inflammatory properties.
It's rich in antioxidants, which have been proven to help fight and prevent inflammation.
If I want a Swedener, I use honey.
like a beekeeper there, Drew. Anyway, I use a little honey, too. Okay, so as you all know,
the sugar is the devil. And I get the Irish oatmeal going. It's a little bland. I put
little blueberries on it, some strawberries cut up, like, just not douse in it. There's some honey.
The honey is not the devil, sugar is. Len Evans, Sydney, British Columbia, Canada, weed shops,
Vancouver are looking to sell cocaine. Check it out, O'Reilly. I already know.
Vancouver is, does not enforce any drug laws, none. So it's a beautiful city. I've been there,
enjoyed it, drug addicts have overrun it. And the Vancouver authorities are happy?
They're fine. Did you know, and I bet you do, Vancouver is a primary transshipment point from Asia.
All right, it's too far away from Mexico, but the Asian heroin comes in there and transships out of there because there's no law enforcement.
Where are you, Mounties?
Sharon Goodberry, Palis Verdeus Peninsula, California, a lovely place.
I don't understand parents who don't feed their children healthy.
I was a single mother with three children.
I always fed them healthy meals every day, no processed food.
It's all about laziness, Sharon.
It's hard to get the urchins every day, cook them up, you know, vegetables and not give them processed food.
It's hard. It takes a while. But you're a good mom. You know, the healthier the kids are physically, the healthier they're going to be mentally.
No doubt about it. Paul Matsizuski, Wakanda, Illinois. I'm a premium member read all the killing books.
can't wait for the next one no i already read this letter i said to paul the mansion and
cinema i got two copies of your letter paul um tom smith of philadelphia good morning per
family search dot org and ancestry dot com william stoughton is my first cousin ten times removed
i understand he was a chief judge of the salem witch trials is that true it is tom
big villain, William Stoughton, and got away with it.
Most of the witch hunters didn't.
He got away with it.
And where do you see what happened to him?
He's in Killing the Witches.
All right, killing the witches will be out.
You can pre-order now on billowryly.com and Amazon and Barnes & Noble, wherever you like it.
You get it first to be pre-order out in September.
It's going to be a big book.
I am just wrapping it up.
I am finishing the touches on it.
You're going to be surprised on this one.
Team normal.
We're shipping this week.
So if you want, team normal gear.
There's the shirt.
We have women shirts that are beautiful.
Mom's Day coming up.
We get the hats.
We got the mugs.
We got the bumper stickers.
Again, for those of you who are not acquainted with this,
there are two teams in the USA, team crazy, we all know who they are, and team normal,
the team you are on, so get the team uniform, get the gear for spring and summer,
Bill O'Reilly.com, we have it.
Word of the day, do not be a barber monger, B-A-R-B-A-R, like a barber that cuts your hair,
monger, this is one word, M-O-N-G-E-R, so barber.
mongers. That's not good. Be back with a final thought on forgiveness in a moment. Okay, time for the
final thought. First, I have to make a correction, basically, to Paul, about Christian Sinai. She
officially announced she's not formally a part of the Democratic Party, but she caucuses with that.
Okay, so it's murky. So if Kristen Sinema runs again for Senate from Arizona,
I'm not sure what her line is going to be, okay?
But she hasn't like switched over officially at this point.
I should have made that clear.
All right, forgiveness.
So I'm sitting there in church, you know,
and we got a lot of African priests here on Long Island.
Can't understand them.
You know, Catholic Church, not in good shape.
Just not.
They're the nicest guys.
They are really good, devoted, holy men.
But you can't understand them.
So there's a, it was a gospel a couple of weeks ago, Matthew 6, 14, about forgiveness, that Christians, Catholics, we have to forgive.
So my question is, okay.
If somebody asks for forgiveness, they do a bad thing, because we all do bad things.
And you say, you're sorry, that's asking for you, you forgive them.
What about Putin?
What about Putin?
Do we all collectively forgive Putin?
For massacring women and children, hundreds of thousands, dead, wounded, millions displaced.
We all go, hey, Putin, you're forgiven.
Hi.
That is a very, very difficult theological question.
If Putin slapped me in the face, would I turn the other cheek?
I wouldn't.
Now, Jewish theology is a little bit different.
eye for nine old testament so the forgiveness thing is complicated as they say but my philosophy is this
for the final thought do not wish ill and i i don't i don't say i want Putin to die or anything
like that it would be better for the world if he did i'm honest but don't wish ill for the people
who are have done you wrong but
But if less they ask for forgiveness, I'm agnostic.
I'm not forgiven, Putin.
And that is the final thought of the day.
Thank you very much for watching and listening this evening to the No Spin News.
