Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday. February 5th, 2020, Fight for Your Freedom.
So this was one of the busiest days I've had, I don't know, the last three years.
I did the Sean Hannity radio program. That's worth listening to because we had impeachment, we have State of the Union, we have the presidential race.
We got all kinds of stuff going on. And with Hannity and I, it's a pretty good dynamic, get a lot done and covered in a half an hour.
Now, for our purposes here tonight, I'm going to deal with the failed impeachment, but at first I want to do the state of the union because this was really interesting, much more so than usual presidential speeches.
Now, I did talk President Trump this morning because I had to clarify a few things.
I'm going to tell you what I said or what he said.
That's not what I do.
but I wanted to get some clarification about some of the things that he said.
And I'll give you an example as we roll along.
And he's feeling very, very strong, which is good and bad.
You don't want to get overconfident.
But I think that he did himself a lot of good last night.
It was the best speech that Donald Trump has ever given.
And I've seen most of them.
And it's because he was very precise.
and he was very presidential, authoritative.
He used his position, and he doesn't often do this.
At his rallies, he's more of an entertainer.
Now, there were entertaining aspects of the speech last night,
but they had to do with who he brought in
and the way he positioned the issues.
But he himself was a very, very disciplined speaker last night.
A guy named Stephen Miller writes the speeches,
but Donald Trump, you know, he's like Ronald Reagan.
And he goes in and he edits and puts in things that he wants.
Mr. Miller is brilliant.
I mean, and I don't even know him very well.
But boy, the way he crafted that speech, that was an hour and 20 minutes.
I wasn't bored.
Were you bored during that speech at all?
I mean, they clicked it along.
So this is what happened during the speech.
He basically gave you a litany of how he's succeeded for,
you, what he's done for the American people, which you would expect. It's the state of the union.
That's what all presidents do. But at the same time, he was saying, hey, look at how good things
are. He was diminishing his opposition. All right? Let me give you one vivid example. Roll it.
The unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century.
And very incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country.
If we hadn't reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration,
the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success.
You see the jab? The previous administration,
and Democrats hate that because Barack Obama is revered.
Now, the Washington Post immediately says, well, in 1953, the unemployment rate was lower.
Okay.
That was 67 years ago, and the population,
in the United States wasn't near what it is now, so you can, there are many, many more people
in the employment arena than there were in 1953. You see what I mean? It never ends. It never
ends. But the main point is that for every plus that Donald Trump told you he has accomplished,
he pointed out a minus on the Democratic side. That is good speech writing. 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. 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
size, 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.

Impeachment.
So Article 1 was abuse of power.
52 not guilty, 52 senators not guilty, 48 guilty.
Mitt Romney voted guilty.
Okay?
That's the end of Mitt Romney in the Republican Party.
He's through.
Now, Mitt Romney explained his vote by saying, my conscience dictates that I have to do this.
But that's not what his job is.
His job is to represent the people of Utah, not himself.
Now, if Mitt Romney believes there was an abuse of power, he needs to lay out specifically what that abuse of power.
power is. Because if he just says, well, I think or I feel or it's my opinion, it's not enough.
My belief is not enough to convict anybody of anything. A conviction must be based on facts,
provable facts. That's the Beyond the reasonable doubt clause. And if there were ever a reasonable
doubt, it's in the Ukraine situation. I mean, there's not a jury on in this country, maybe in
China. It's crazy. It's an interpretation. And Schiff and Pelosi and Nathar, they took the
interpretation that it was an abuse of power. But they had no facts to back it up, which is why
only Mitt Romney, out of all the Republicans elected in Washington, only him voted for
abuse of power to remove the president. Again, Mitt Romney has lost all credibility. He has no
standing in the Republican Party. Donald Trump Jr. called for him to be expelled. That would be
wrong. People who Utah should deal with him. The second article, obstruction of Congress, Romney
voted not guilty. 5347. Now, it's notable that the senator from Alabama, Jones, I believe his
name is, okay, voted guilty on both counts. He's done. If Alabama can put
up a credible Republican, that seat is going to be lost to the Democrats, through.
Joe Manchin, I'm surprised. Manchin knows this was all bull, but I guess Schumer threatened
him, and Manchin fell into line. The senator from Arizona, the name escapes me at the
moment, that's going to hurt her. Because fair-minded people know this was bogus. But the
Democrats fell into law.
The man who was hurt most by impeachment, and we won't even cover impeachment anymore, this is the
end of it, all right, here and everywhere, was Joe Biden.
I think I mentioned this to you yesterday.
Trump was hurt by it personally and in the worldwide press, and it was, you know, like the
Russian investigation, it was trying, no doubt about it. He could say it wasn't, or
It was.

We'll be right back after this message.
Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.
Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most.
powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, 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.
Okay, so I discuss, as I mentioned, topic of broadcasts,
Sean Haney on his radio program, the decline of the television media in the United States.
And nowhere is that scene more dramatically than it's CBS News.
Once the dominant force in America under Walter Cronkite, it is now third in the morning, third in the evening news,
60 minutes is on the decline.
Their whole operation is tottering.
So, what to do?
They can't out liberal NBC.
NBC is about as liberal a network as you could possibly have.
Can't do that.
ABC, they're doing okay.
They'd run a kind of a quasi-tabloid evening news show,
a lot of weather, a lot of crime.
In the morning, it's just entertainment at Good Morning America now.
So what does CBS do?
Well, last night might have given you a hint, well, LaTay.
The president was inaugurated with a speech about American carnage.
Tonight, three years later, before the nation, he spoke about the great American comeback.
This was a speech unlike any other I have witnessed from President Donald Trump,
where the reality TV president took on the state of the union, a master showman at his best.
That was Nora O'Donnell, who is now taken over the CBS Evening News.
Now, Ms. O'Donnell's a liberal woman, known her for many years, not crazy.
But she's a person of the left.
She had lunch with Donald Trump yesterday.
And she sat next to Donald Trump, not an accident.
Donald Trump put her right next to him.
That's because CBS is moving to the right.
You're going to see it.
They made the business calculation that, you know what?
There are a lot of conservatives, and they have nowhere to go on the nightly news.
See you tomorrow.
