Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, July, 2020, Stand Up for Your Country, all of you who are participating in our campaign. We are mailing out the Stand Up for Your Country stickers today should have. have them soon. We'll tell you more about that at the end of the program, a very important program that we have launched here, and we hope you will participate. Now, one of the reasons that we all need to stand up for our country is because we're such a divided nation. And it really hurts me as an American who loves my country. I'd love to see us all on the same, I hate to use the cliche page, but I'd really like to see a lot of common ground among
Starting point is 00:00:57 all Americans. It's not happening. I think back 20 years ago, September 11th, all right, and what happened? Well, we got blown up, actually 19 years ago, by al-Qaeda. And that brought most Americans together. We had to write that wrong, and we got behind the new president, George Bush the Younger, and we did accomplish our goal. We did knock out the jihad. We did it, all right, with the help of other nations, but it was us.
Starting point is 00:01:34 But that unification, that fell apart once the Iraq war went south. So in the beginning, it was all right. The USA and the coalition invaded Iraq, it removed Saddam Hussein, who was not cooperating with UN weapons inspectors, and we thought had weapons of mass destruction that he might use. So once the Iraq campaign went south, then the country fractured again against conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, and on and on and on. Okay. So President Bush Younger got reelected because John Kerry was a pretty bad candidate.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Nobody trusted him. And then Barack Obama came in and defeated John McCain. All the while, the country was divided. We did not unite behind Barack Obama. He said he would unite the country, but he didn't, although he was re-elected, as Bush the Younger was. He beat Mitt Romney, another weak candidate. Romney could not articulate why he would be better for the country, and he could have easily
Starting point is 00:02:46 because the economy was still terrible. But anyway, divide, divide, divide, divide. And now we're at the breaking point. That's how bad it is here. So you see the forces. It's obvious what is happening. But with the killing of George Floyd, that ripped off any kind of civility. So now it's destroy America.
Starting point is 00:03:19 We have to destroy this country. And you have the media, academia, colleges, all of that on the destroy America side. And then you have traditional conservative Americans on, wait a minute. We believe the country is noble, and we believe that this nation offers more opportunity than any other nation on earth, which is true. That is true. So why do we want to blow it up because of slavery or some historical injustice? doesn't make any sense. Now, sense is not what's in play here, though. So I was talking with a very
Starting point is 00:03:57 intelligent liberal woman a few days ago, and I don't do this often off media. So I'll obviously interview anybody on TV, but in my private life, I really don't do this much. But there was an occasion where I was in her proximity and she was giving me the America as a white supremacist nation kind of line, which I looked at her and I said, well, I don't believe that and most Americans don't believe that. All right. So you may believe it and under our constitution, you have a right to believe it, but it isn't a fact. And to present it as a fact is fallacious. I was using big words because she was very smart. So she said, well, you're going to You're just discounting slavery and Jim Crow.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And I said, I'm not discounting anything, Madam. I love that word, Madam. I submit to you that every single nation in the world has a historical injustice and more than a few. So by your calculation, if America has to be remade because of slavery, which is what the New York Times is saying, then Germany, the Soviet Union, China, every other country would have to be remade. And reparations wouldn't just have to be paid to African Americans, but every minority,
Starting point is 00:05:25 including me. Now her eyes get wide. I said, my ancestors lost their land in County Cabin, Ireland. It was seized by the British Crown. And when the British Crown seized the two acres that my poor ancestors farm. The father had a heart attack, and the mother was left with two 16-year-old boys who she couldn't feed. So she put them on a coffin ship where they worked their way across the Atlantic, throwing bodies into the Atlantic Ocean, and landed in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:05:59 That's how my side, the O'Reilly side, started. So I'm entitled to reparations from the British government, am I not? You are listening to a free excerpt from Bill O'Reilly.com. 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 stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Tharu, 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326, 5570. or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576, or text bill to 998899. So you may know Tammy Duckworth. She's being considered as VP candidate under Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:07:35 All right, she's a senator from Illinois, 52 years old, former, I think she's in the Army, all right? She was deployed to Iraq as a Black Hawk helicopter pilot for the Illinois Army National Guard. On November 12, 2004, her helicopter was held by a ground surface-to-air missile. She lost her legs and partial use of her right arm. So Ms. Duck were the Patriot, okay? And she went to Iraq for her country. She's a Thai American, raised in Hawaii, and she got severely injured. though that's the truth and you got to respect that the problem is that now that she's a senator from illinois she's gone way far left roll the tape george washington i don't think anybody would call him a traitor and there are moves by some to remove statues of him is that a good idea
Starting point is 00:08:34 i think we should listen to the everybody i think we should listen to to the argument there but Remember that the president at Mount Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans who had actually been given that land during a treaty. Well, what does that have to do with George Washington? And that's true, by the way. When you read my book, Killing Crazy Horse out in September, you'll see what happened to the Sioux and the U.S. and how they dealt with each other. I spell it right out for you. But that had nothing to do with George Washington. Instead of sticking up for the father of our country, a man so heroic, you can't even describe it.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And if you don't believe me, read Killing England because I do describe it there, but it takes, you know, 70, 80 pages, he's such a hero. Yes, his wife owns slaves, yes, and he benefited from that. But that doesn't override the fact that we wouldn't have our freedoms, if not for George Washington. So instead of saying, no, we shouldn't tear down statutes of George Washington, as any responsible senator would do, she doesn't. She diverts it into Mount Rushmore is a bad thing. So Tucker Carlson criticizes Duckworth, all right, and I'm not going to get into it, but Tammy Duckworth has a right. to her point of view, and so does Tucker Carlson. So he calls her names, and he shouldn't do that. But his criticism was pretty much what my criticism is. If you're a sitting senator and you can't
Starting point is 00:10:19 stand up for George Washington, you're wrong. You're wrong. In the course of his analysis, Mr. Carlson says, we wanted Senator Duckworth to come on the program and debate it, but she would not. She's a coward. Shouldn't have said that. Because then the media immediately, I mean immediately said, oh, look at this. Tammy Duckworth lost both legs fighting for her country, and this guy calls her a coward. That's not what he did. It's totally out of context. But you can forget about context in the United States of America's media. That's never going to happen. Okay. So as I said, we're shipping the stand-up for your country stickers today. We want you to get your packs. I kept the price as low as I can keep it. All right,
Starting point is 00:11:16 give them out to everybody. And if somebody won't take it, tells you a lot, doesn't it? So display them where you want. Be proud of your country. It is a noble nation. Stand-up for your country. We do not kneel. Okay. So that campaign is very successful. Got a couple of hundred thousand out. We want to get two million. Another quick break back with a final thought on fun stuff to do this summer to mitigate all the terrible stuff. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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, final thought of the day. Summer's going fast, you know, it just whizzes by. And this is a very tough time. I don't even remember a tougher time. This COVID thing, this is devastating people and economically, physically, it's awful. And then we have the far left assaulting the traditions of America.
Starting point is 00:12:55 This is not a good time. So I want you guys to have some fun. Take your mind all life. So number one, you got to plan nature activities, nature. All right. So you go to the beach, beaches are really good, just stay six feet away, that kind of thing. Get on a boat if you can, boat. You don't have to worry about the COVID on the boat, a little fishing, a little jumping
Starting point is 00:13:18 off the boat, a little jet skiing, whatever it is, get in the water. Hiking, great. Just make sure, you know, you're not hiking with people who are hacking, no hiking with hacking. Okay. Golfing. I'm not a golfer. I'm terrible at it. I like the miniature golf. I can handle that. I'm the big golf. I'm bad. But golfing, you're out there, you know, you can do it. And then you're distancing and it's a good diversion. So golf is good. Plan what you're going to watch on TV. So there's so many good movies. So many of them. Write down to movies that you want to see again. And then, you know, you can get everything out. And then just like plan it out.
Starting point is 00:13:53 It's what I'm going to do. And finally, read a book. Read five books. Read 10, books. I'm going back and reading the classics. I'm reading Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. I'm going to read an Hemingway book. All right? You know, you've got time now. Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read. Regular books. But fill your leisure time with fun activities. Very, very important this summer in particular. See you tomorrow.
