Hey Bill O'Reilly.com, premium members, welcome to the no-spin news, Tuesday, April 21st, 2020, fight for your freedom and for your health. So I want to welcome in all our thousands of new premium and concierge members. The reason that so many people are signing up, and I've mentioned this before, is because we are ahead of the story. We are not repeating the same things over and over and over as television news is doing. And we are not politicizing this virus. However, our lead story tonight is political because it is becoming obvious to me and other observers that the virus will be the main campaign issue in November. And so there are two sides to the story at this point. Of course, that will change.

That President Trump booted it and wasn't prepared and didn't pay attention early enough and that it developed into this contagion that should have been contained. That's the Democrats' point of view and the press. And remember, the press and the Democrats are working together to dislodge Donald Trump. The administration side is we were ahead of the curve. No one else, including the Democratic Party, flagged this virus. And once we understood the dangerous nature of it, we took effective measures. That's the Trump administration.

Now, you, the voter, are going to have to decide. And the decision will change because the facts will change. If the virus, as I said, is under control by mid-summer, Trump's likely to win, unless Biden puts Michelle Obama on the second, which is the rumor now. That's the rumor du jour that Michelle Obama will be the VP selection. I don't think that's going to happen, but it could. And it will change. That's a game-changing. Anyway, so if the virus is contained by the summer, people go back to work.

kids are in school in September because a lot of states are just knocking the whole school thing out because of potential lawsuits, which is crazy, but that's what's happening. And if the pandemic rages throughout the summer and into the fall, Democrats probably win. And that's it. But right now, it's who knew what, when, and all of that. So let me give you the facts. Again, pen and paper, always good to have. So there was a paper given to the federal government on November 20th, 2019.

The title of the paper was ending the cycle of crisis and complacency in U.S. global health security. It was done by former Senator Kelly Ayat from New Hampshire, Stephen Morrison, a global health policy center VP, and Dr. Julie Gerberting. commission on strengthening America's health security. It's a good paper. I mean, I didn't read the whole thing, but I read enough of a note. They said, look, you know, this is a dangerous world vis-a-vis virus. They didn't say Wuhan virus or coronavirus or COVID didn't say that. He said, it's dangerous. We should be paying attention to it. That came out November 20th. A little bit before that, September 2019, there was a paper issued preparedness for high-impact respiratory pandemic. This came out of the John Hopkins Center for Health Security.

It's another, you know, academic paper, academic, but it was issued. And then on January 29th, one day before President Trump issued the travel ban from China, Daniel Coates, Director of National Intelligence, published a paper that said worldwide threat assessment of U.S. intelligence community. So that's what prompted Donald Trump take action. So when Coates, the director of national intelligence, said, look, this is going to be bad. Now, on the 22nd, I'll say this again, I'm sorry to be repetitive, I flagged y'all. Y'all is a southern expression. I flagged you. And the reason I did that is because I was following the University of Hong Kong. And their assessment going back to 2007, and I said, this thing's going to break out.

You are listening to a free excerpt from Bill O'Reilly.com's no-spin news broadcast, where you can actually see me. We'll be right back after this message. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stock pockets. filing gold.

Alabama, that's going to open soon. Florida, some beaches are open there. They're going to open soon. Minnesota has opened golfing, boating, fishing, hunting, and hiking. It's already open. Public schools may open May 4th in Minnesota. That'll be interesting to see. Mississippi order expires next week to stay at home. I don't expect that order to be to extend to Mississippi.

Oklahoma. I don't know what's going to happen in Oklahoma. The state can begin reopening May 1st. I don't know how that's going to shake down. Texas, just south of Oklahoma, obviously, they're reopening in Texas. South Carolina reopened some beaches. Public schools closed through April 30th. Will that extend?

I'm not sure. Pennsylvania schools closed the rest of the year in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And the reason this is happening in Ohio and Pennsylvania and the states, lawsuits, the lawyers are starving, the ambulance chasers, and there are millions of them. They're starving. And there is lined up. One kid goes back to school, gets the virus, bang! Ten million dollar lawsuit against the school district or the state or whatever.

whatever. Schools know that. I can't tell you, I'm not going to get into it today, how pernicious and destructive the legal industry is in the United States to our well-being. All right, new poll. I don't really believe this poll. Axius, if so, it's, you know, how much of a risk to your health and well-being do you think returning to normalcy will be? Large risk, moderate risk, 72%. Small risk, no risk, 27. It's a risk. It's a risk going back. There's no doubt. Have you social distance? Yes, 92. And that's the key. Even if you go back to work or you're going into a place to buy something, you kind of stay away. You wait a little mask and whatever. Be right back with a final thought.

I want to say that the more patient we are, the better.

Now, I am not a patient man. I never have been. It caused me trouble. It's helped me in a way because I was ambitious and I rose to the top quickly in my profession. I worked my butt off because I was impatient. I wanted to get there. And I did. But in other ways, my impatient is herbie, leading to mistakes. So now with the pandemic, we need to be cautious. So I don't mind people going out. I think the governor of Michigan is way off it, when she says you can't get in your car and drive to your second home,

or you can't buy mulch in Home Depot. I think this is insane, and I'll fight against that. I don't think you have to wear a mask and you're walking a dog. All right? The dog's looking at you're like, what? What's going on here? You're going to hold me up? You don't need the mask when you walk the dog.

You do need to stay six feet away because a lot of people are asymptomatic. You don't know. They look fine. They feel fine. They're carrying it. You know, you've got to do that. All of that is, you know, annoying.

Don't defy it. I mean, these people out there, oh, I want to do this. They're wrong. Because they may be carrying the disease, and they may give it to. somebody who dies so it's not all about you it's about them patience patience patience patience you know take it slow take it easy think about what you're going to do

where you're going to eat what you're going to have where you're going to go all right you know we live in electronic age the urchins are all over the machines god of it those machines and those games didn't exist they become oh I dread to think about what would have. I don't do the machines. I'm reading. I'm learning. I'm doing this. I'm compiling information for you. But it's frustrating. I got to be patient. I'm not going to do anything that puts you at risk. You being anybody around me. I'll see you tomorrow.
