Welcome to the NoSpin News Thursday, January 23, 2020, Fight for Your Freedom. All right, here's the impeachment latest. There's actually a good story hidden under all the bloviating. And if you're watching it, you're a better person than I am. I can't. I just can't. But I get wires and I get information from my staff. So I'm on it, but I just can't sit there and just listen to the same stuff over and over and over and over again.

All right, so the story is this. This is the important story. Democrats in the Senate want witnesses. All right, we got to have witnesses, got to have them. And they want subpoenas and they want all of that. Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, say, we don't think so. The reason is, there are two reasons. The Founding Fathers set it up so that the House would do all the witness calling and subpoenaing and documents,

then get all the evidence and send the evidence to the elite in the Senate, all right, and they would look at it. But the Senate wouldn't be the gathering. information gathering agency. But the real reason that McConnell doesn't want this is because he knows that Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader and Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, want to drag this thing out, the impeachment hearing in the Senate, until the summer. And that would happen because the Democrats would want a subpoena, John Bolton, Mick Mulaney, other people who are working or were working directly with President Trump. And a president

would say, no, executive privilege, they can't show up. There'd be a lawsuit. They'd go to the Supreme Court. On and on and on and on. Never end. McConnell knows this. So he's going to basically play a game where they're never going to call witnesses. I would be shocked. I could be wrong on that. We'll know next week. But I don't think so. because again the witnesses they call will be executive privilege witnesses and then you'd have to litigate it all day long Schumer he is going up against McConnell and McConnell does the same thing and Nancy Pelosi does in a house. Connolly is here quietly gets a message out to all the Republican senators you better not buck us because this is about the party it's not just about

the President of the United States about Republican Party you better not defect over to the Democrats or we're going to primary you and you're not going to get a nickel from the Democrat from the Republican apparatus. That's how you keep so-called members in line. Connell does that very well. So, Pelosi. So that's why you're not seeing even a guy like Mitt Romney, high-profile guy, buck them very much. Interesting, Joe Biden running around Iowa was asked by a reporter Hey, your name is on the top of the witless list from the Republicans. Maybe they'll trade. So John Bolton will come in in return for you.

And here's how Joe Biden replied. The reason why I would not make the deal on the bottom line is I, this is a constitutional issue. And we're not going to turn it into a farce into some kind of political theater. They're trying to return in a political theater, but I want no part of being any part of that. Ah, it's a constitutional issue, is it? What Mr. Biden is saying there are two things. Impeachment's constitutional, okay, but he's not going to show up, even if subpoenaed, because of executive privilege. He would claim executive privilege as vice president under Barack Obama.

That's what he's, he's doing exactly the same. same thing, exactly the same thing, the President Trump will do. Executive privilege. Now, I want to break this to the former vice president. It's already a farce. But to have him stand there and say, they want to turn into political theater, like the Republicans want, I mean, are you that dense? Any answer is yes, he is.

So on the radio today, on the O'Reilly Update radio program, which we post on the site every day, I did a commentary on Bloomberg's money. After graduating from Harvard, Bloomberg landed a job with a mid-level Wall Street firm. Starting salary, $9,000 a year. By 1972, much had become a partner in that firm, but was fired after a financial merger. Don't feel too bad.

Bloomberg was given a $10 million severance. He then started his own company building market data computers. a game changer for Wall Street. Today, more than 300,000 of those computers are in operation around the world. His company, Bloomberg LP, generates about $10 billion a year in revenue. So that's what it is in the United States. If you're an entrepreneur and you invent something like these computers, you're a billionaire.

I mean, that's what happens. And that's not income inequality, that's luck. and your innate ability to see that society will buy an appliance of some kind, a device of some kind. So Bloomberg has $60 billion. That's what he's worth. And he says he's going to spend $2 billion trying to get Trump out of there. He's running some vicious ads against Trump, an impeachment ad, this, that, the other thing. Bloomberg essentially is setting himself up for something else. I said he wants to be Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, if Democrats win. I think he knows he's not going to win the nomination. He's a rich, white guy. That does

not play into the far left in the media or in the Democratic Party. You are listening to a free excerpt from Bill O'Reilly.com's no-spin news broadcast where you can actually see me.

It will. So it's worth the bucks. There's not that many bucks anyway. Stephen, are, is the president's side allowed to object to Dems during impeachment like a real criminal

civil case? No. Nope. That's why Roberts is there. If everybody starts yelling, he's going to stop. it. But it's not a criminal case. There's no cross-examination. There's no objection. None of that. It's a PR deal. Bill. Why is it okay for Joe Biden as VP of the USA to withhold funds from Ukraine until they replaced a prosecutor for obviously personal reasons? But it's not okay

if President Trump to want an investigation possible wrongdoing by a Ukrainian while he was holding that office by a former VP. Look, two cases are similar and parallel. A little bit of different. So Biden goes to Ukraine, says, you're not going to get a billion dollars in loans from the USA unless you fire that guy over there. And that guy over there is looking into his son who's getting money from a Ukrainian company. We all know that. So Trump picks up the phone and says to the president of Ukraine, hey, I'd like you to investigate some corruption allegations that may have affected 2016 election here in the USA. Would you please look into that? If Biden's name comes up, let me know. What's a difference?

There isn't a lot of difference. But again, the media would never make that comparison as you did astutely bill. John, could you change anything about the Trump administration if you had to power? Fact-based tweets? Fact-based tweets. I would tell the president or suggest to the president. You don't tell the president anything. Suggest to him.

Look, tweeting is okay. following you but let's shift from personal attacks you know shifts a pencil-neck geek to fact-based takes a little research but he's got the guys that's what I would do killing crazy horse out May 12th renew your membership get it free if you already renewed you can order it and you'll get it first and we'll see you later
