Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, March 10th, 2025, stand up for your country. Well, as I wrote on my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, it's a very important week for Donald Trump. This is a vitally important week for him.

Stock market's going over the cliff. And we're going to deal with that. and my advice to you is if you are holding stocks don't do anything now a few of my more daring friends are nibbling because you know the market's overreacting it's in an emotional state now and that's because of the uncertainty about tariffs and on and on and on but you know don't panic all right that's the best advice i can give to you um i'm going to be on news nation tonight at nine o'clock talking about all this also Only 15 VIP tickets left.

That's when you meet Stephen A. Smith, Cuomo, and me, and I'll protect you from Cuomo if you buy those tickets. Only 15 left for the March 30th live show at Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. So if you want to meet us, you've got to get on it. And if you want good seats to that show, you've got to get on it too. It's going to be quite the event.

So just go to Bill O'Reilly.com, get a little banner there. You click over, make it very easy for you to do it. And that, I'm going to shoot it. I'm going to bring some cameras, but I'm not going to show the whole thing. So if you want to see it, and it's much better to see it in person anyway, it's going to be funny, but it's going to be important, important show. Now, the talking points memo tonight is political chaos. So I get a lot of things going on, as I mentioned. First is Ukraine negotiations.

Begin tomorrow, Saudi Arabia. The American delegation is Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Middle East Envoy, Steve Whitkoff, all right. Ukraine is sending their people. The word is Zelensky is in Saudi Arabia, but is not going to attend the meetings, but that's fluid. We don't really know, but he's there. This is ultra-serious. The next day, Whitkoff peels off, goes to gutter and talks to the Hamas representatives. That'll be on Wednesday. And again, that's life and death. So then you have that.

In the meantime, Trump's envoy for hostages, a guy named Adam Bowler, who I do not know, will conduct an advance meeting tomorrow. So by Wednesday, I could, remember, they're way ahead in time. When I'm talking to you on Wednesday, it could be a whole different scenario here as far as the United States is concerned.

The tariffs, as I mentioned, driving the stock market down. And today was another disaster. What are you going to do? Trump believes that the international trade with a $1.3 billion trade deficit is unacceptable. And that's not $1.3 billion.

billion it's way higher than that I'm sorry I didn't have my stats close at hand though the trade deficit is close to a trillion dollars I believe under Biden and and Trump says we can't do that and that's why this is all happening is he gonna work it out I thought he would work it out but now I can't guarantee it so it's Europe it's Canada it's Mexico it's China China slapped a bunch of tariffs on us today day, it's a mess. The ultimate goal, if it works, will absolutely strengthen the United States. The dozen will go into recession. Consumer spending in February fell 0.5 percent, the

lowest since 2021, the middle of COVID. This is not good. That's why Trump is getting nervous. It goes to recession, then the Democrats rise again. So you see, this, he's not going to solve the tariff thing this week, but we might get good news out of Ukraine and Gaza. That's my prediction. And that's the memo. Bill O'Reilly here, I recently sat down with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you, he is laser focused on helping Americans prosper during his second term.

That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, chief investment strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called The Rebirth of the American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies could trigger an economic boom, how the AI revolution could help create more millionaires than at any other time in history, details on six specific stocks that could soar during Trump's presidency, and most importantly, how you can achieve the American dream. Now, I followed Alex's work from more than 20 years, and he spotted some of the best-performing stocks of our country. time. So please don't miss this opportunity. Visit trumps's American dream.com.

Trump's American dream.com. So we have a very important interview here. You know him. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo under President Trump. He's also the head of the CIA, also a congressman from Kansas. He joins us now from his new appointment at Columbia University. Now, I can't think of the better way to start your academic career. By going to Columbia, when the president just pulled $400 million out of there, I hope you had your contract signed before that, and they're deporting students that don't win security. And there you are.

You show up from Kansas right in the middle of it. So can you straighten the place out or what? Impeccable timing. Impeccable timing is always, Bill. And first of all, it's great to be back with you. It's interesting. I'm actually happy that I have this opportunity to go to Columbia. It's a place that has had all kinds of challenges.

We've all seen them, violence, protests, anti-Semitism running rampant, a faculty that is left of left of center way too often. And I was invited there to come be a different voice and to share both my views as a political matter, but importantly, my observations as a practitioner, who had to actually deliver security for the United States. And so it'll be fun. It's a very challenging time for the university, frankly,

all of America's major universities. And I hope I can be a constructive part of getting them back to something that honors the traditions that these great places had. Now, no loony students have given you a hard time so far, right? No, my interaction so far have been great. Kids have been interested. Many of them didn't agree with me on much. Some of them agreed with me on some, and a handful were.

More simpatico, if you will, but nobody's giving a hard time. All right, good. Let us know if that happens. And I'll come out there. I was born in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, so they happen with me on campus. All right, let's go to Ukraine. So my hypothesis, let me use that word, but it's not really a hypothesis because I know President Trump, as you know, pretty well, and I do talk to him.

So he doesn't want to alienate Putin. He wants to soften Putin up, so he gets him to a ceasefire discussion. And that's why you're not seeing call Putin names and do all that kind of stuff. He also wants to tamp down Zelensky's arrogance, which we saw. Is this the wrong strategy on Ukraine? Well, Bill, what you're describing there are the personal interactions, right? So that's a very personalized view of this. I think both of those are correct.

There's no reason for the Commander Chief of the United States to mock or call names for any leader. You remember with Chairman Kim, he'd say, we exchanged love letters. He talked about Xi Jinping in glowing terms from time to time. That was the personal. Same with Zelensky in that sense. I think you're right. I think he was trying to make sure Zelensky understood.

what's the outcome that President Trump's seeking. And from my vantage point, President Trump has always been someone who understood winning. And in this case, can't be the case that Putin can be perceived of having won. Whatever the outcome, whatever the geography, whatever the disposition in the end, we can't, that kind of aggression can't be rewarded because it'll get you more of it. And if there was one thing I'm proud of from our first four years, Bill, is we were pretty good at deterring the bad guys from doing exactly what they did to President Biden and invasion. getting Europe. We're pretty good at convincing folks like Hamas not to invade Israel on our watch. President Trump's pretty good at deterrence, and that's what he's going to try to get back.

I'm counting on it. Okay, but you're going to have to let Putin save a little face. He's not going to surrender because he doesn't care about how many people are dead or anything like that. He just cares about himself. So you've got to give him an exit ramp off. I think Putin wants the ramp, but you're dealing with an evil man here. He's just flat out evil. Do you believe that there will be a ceasefire? See, I said once Trump was elected, I think that ceasefire is going to happen.

Do you believe it? Yeah, there'll be a ceasefire, but the interesting question is really the one that you pose, which is you have an evil dictator like Vladimir Putin who has, to date, evidenced nothing that suggests he's actually looking for that off ramp that you described. Maybe he is, but he's been pretty good at masking any, any willingness to concede a single thing. In the end, Bill, what I think, how I think this ends up the call it face save and call it what you will.

I think he wants to be back in the global world, his economy back connected to the global international system. There's the solution is that you find a mechanism by which to permit Russian activity back in the economic system. We rebuilt Japan, right? There's a long history. When these wars end, we allow these economies, the people of those countries to engage in the world again, that's what I think Putin desperately needs for his own political stability back home, but also that's the ticket to give him something to say, look, look what I got us back.

Yeah, and if you give them that ticket, you've got to have European peacekeepers in there. So you've got to give the Ukrainian some assurance. I mean, Trump was smart not to sign a document saying Putin breaks the seeds fire. United States going to go in with troops. You can't do that, but you can negotiate a deal where the UN or the EU would put, and you call them rebuilding, you know, security to rebuild. And it'd be good if Putin kicked in a couple of billion, too, which you'll make easily by, you know, having the sanctions lifted on the oil stuff. So you know Putin pretty well. A lot of people just think that he is some kind of crazy guy.

I don't see him that way. I just think he's flat-out evil. Not crazy. And I've been criticized for saying he's actually pretty shrewd. And while he screwed this up, he thought he'd get to Keeve. He thought he'd get victory on the ground. Terrible strategic mistake, no doubt about it. He's not crazy.

He is evil, and the rationality flows from that. I don't think there's any doubt that his intentions were even greater than that. In my judgment, he wasn't fearing NATO was going to attack him for goodness. Like, that's just nutty. He was trying to begin the revisit of something greater for Russia. Yeah, just like Georgia and Belarus. He was trying to duplicate that. That's it.

And he didn't get it. He didn't get it. So now you've got to give him a push out, but you can't hammer him between the eyes like the idiot Democrats are trying to do it. You say to them, well, if you do that, you'll never get a ceasefire, and they have no answer. Let's go to China. So China slap tariffs on the U.S. USA today. That situation seems to be deteriorating. Is it? I think it is. And I know some will want to

blame President Trump for that. I think this is all Xi Jinping, this challenge that's being faced by the entire world. And by the way, it's connected to Russia. We shouldn't forget for a second that the primary consumer of Russian energy today is the Chinese Communist Party getting discounted crude oil and gas out of Russia. China is a huge beneficiary of this war, continues. in Ukraine, in Europe. But I think it's deteriorating because Xi Jinping now believes that he's got a place where he can actually exert influence and shape things in a way that his predecessors didn't believe.

The old, this is a rough translation from Mandarin Bill, you'll have to forgive me. But the old motto was, hide your power and bide your time. And Xi Jinping's no longer hiding his power. He's showing it full force and it's going to require a real American response. Well, when you say a response, everybody gets nervous. Is that going to be a military response? Can't do that, right? Well, Xi Jinping's going to, we're not going to attack China militarily.

Right. But Xi Jinping is already running into ships in the Philippines, the South China Sea. He's circling. Doing up the last five years, though. As long as he doesn't touch Taiwan, then the U.S. is going to allow some of that to happen. But I see it this way, and maybe I'm wrong. I think that China's economy is really wobbling, just like Russia's, but China is more intense. And she, like Putin, probably at this point in history, would want a better economic situation,

and he would be willing to deal for that. Am I wrong? I think you're wrong. I think Xi Jinping has concluded that this is the moment. So you've heard some of our generals talking about 2027 and I can't put a marker down as for time. But I think she is willing to sacrifice an awful lot of economy to gain a global advantage to get closer to the political hegemony that he seeks. It's going to be really hard. I agree. They've got huge long run demographic problems. Their real estate industry is way worse than anybody even knows, over levered. So there are many, many challenges. But I think she has concluded that it's no longer time to supplicate to the United States. on the economic front. And so he's going to push and push and push

until the United States pushes back. And I think you see President Trump trying to push back. 25% is a pushback. But if your opinion is correct, why didn't she move under Biden, who is extremely weak? Why did he live four years of Biden? And he didn't really do anything that catastrophic. Yeah, I don't think, Bill, I don't think for a second,

second he's going to invade Taiwan. The military invasion there, I think he believes, is unnecessary. His view is he's going to get Taiwan through propaganda politics, same way he took Hong Kong, right, force, choke them off, make their economy more difficult. And eventually the people will come to see they, hey, you know, why fight this? And so I think this is a longer march for him. And I think he made real progress on that in the Biden administration, in the Pacific Islands, in Africa. You saw what's gone on in Panama under President Biden, where the Chinese got a foothold on our doorstep. I think this is a determined strategic effort, not a Xi Jinping military takeover.

He knows he can't actually win that. The United States would, in the end, crush him. The press, the American press, portraying Donald Trump over the world as a villain. That hasn't stopped. And then they point to Trump denying Keev U.S. Intel. And then Trump saying to NATO, we're not going to do any military exercises. Let's take them one by one. The, as you know better than anybody, the reportage on the intel is just flat out ridiculous

because British intelligence gets everything we have and they just give it to Kiev. So it doesn't matter what, and you know, the former CIA chief, doesn't matter what Trump said, we're not going to give anything. The Brits have it all. And they'll give it to them. Am I wrong there? I think that reporting is highly hyped. I always joke, Bill, that if I watch the BBC, I wouldn't like America either.

Right, right. But it's such a, most people don't understand that. They don't understand how it works. Okay, you do, because you were in there, and I do because I've been around for so long. The second military exercise thing, I didn't quite get why Trump did that. Do you know? No, I don't know. Look, we've been trying to help them with training for an awfully long time.

When I was the CIA director, we were helping the Ukrainians. It was President Trump who provided the javelin missiles, right? People forget President Trump did that. It was President Trump who put American energy in the front making Vladimir Putin's resources worth less. I don't know why he chose that particular. It might have to do with Putin and some phone calls. It might. By the way, I'm not privy to any of that.

Right, I'm not either. But that's the only thing I can think of. All right. Now, a lot of people, including myself, believe that you would have been an asset to this Trump administration. But you weren't invited. Do you know why? No, I don't know the particulars of why. But again, I give President lots of latitude to pick the team they want.

He picked. No, I heard that, but you did a good job. He picked entirely new team, Bill. He even said you did a good job. He told me he did a good job. I worked hard, I'm sure. Yeah. I mean, I was surprised the man of your experience, and you know all of these players, I would

have put you as Defense Secretary, I don't think Hegg Seth is the guy, I would have put you there. But you must have thought about it a little bit, Mr. Secretary, because it is a natural fit. You succeeded with Trump the first time around. Did you guys have a falling out of some kind? Oh, no. Look, I don't know why he chose the people he did. He went through a lot of folks, Bill. I'll leave to him the personnel choices. I had said before, if he asked me to go serve, whatever role, whether it was in the Defense Department, wherever I'd happily go serve, and he just made a different decision. I think he's going to ask you. I do. I think he's going to pull you back. Next time I see him, I'm going to get to the bottom of that.

I'm I'm doing to my family because we going to Burlington for the event of

Yeah, that's fair. He goes by his gut. I agree with you that maybe he wanted a fresh look. I like Rubio, because he's a good counterbalance to Trump. I think that's a fairly good play. you agree no i agree i agree i think secretary rubio's going to do a very fine job because when he picked tillerson the oil guy who you saved his bacon remember that i went what i do vividly what that was a disaster and then he brought you in because you're the pro and then you guys

straightened it out when trump left office when he was defeated in 20 the world was fairly stable then I mean, it wasn't, as you pointed out earlier in this interview, there wasn't a lot of threats on the doorstep. Would that be accurate? We had things in a pretty good place. If you think about what fell apart relatively quickly, Europe fell apart, the advancements that were the Abraham Accords in the Middle East were dead stopped, even before the massacres of October 7th. And then, you know, we had come close to delivering on President Trump's commitment to reducing our forces in, Afghanistan to zero or near zero. And President Biden came in and pulled the plug, and we all know the calamity that followed there, not only the 13 dead and many, many injured, but I think much of

the chaos that ensued in the final two and a half years of the Biden administration was a direct result of that epic failure in Afghanistan. None of that happened for our four years. There's no doubt in my mind that that's true. All right, Mr. Secretary, I really appreciate you time and how busy you are trying to straighten Columbia University out. If you need any help, I'm 20 miles away. I'll be happy to come over. It's going to be bigger than me, but I'll give it a go. Yeah, I mean, it'll be happy to see me.

And, you know, it's all of that. And I hope you'll be available to us from time and time because I don't think there's anybody else who knows the world better than you do. I mean, you've got a pretty good handle on it. And again, we're very grateful it. Very grateful you're speaking with us today. Thank you. Bless you, Bill.

Have a good day. See you soon. Okay. Okay, I've covered pretty much everything I wanted to cover. Donald Trump's schedule this week. So he's got a big tech meeting. They can't be too happy. These tech companies with the stock market,

because tech's really getting hammered. But remember, if you're holding tech, I got a little of it. It comes back fast. So you got to say, I stuff, and you got all of this thing. and say, yeah, just don't react at this point. If I see a signal, I will tell you. I will tell you.

So that's what Trump's doing it. He's doing tech. Now, the president signed an executive order. There's a law firm called Perkins C-O-I-E. And he has now issued an executive order. an executive order suspending security clearances for everybody at Perkins Court because

they are not obeying the diversity equity and inclusion practices, but that's not what this is all about. So Perkins Coys was involved with the steel dossier, the phony Russian stuff. They're up to their eyes in it. They represented Biden in the election of 2020

when the charges of fraud were flying and they also work for Hillary Clinton's campaign. It's just a little payback on them. I'm keeping my eye on it. It doesn't affect you right now. It's a personal thing between the president and this law firm. People who propped up Russian collusion, I asked my staff, I said, you know, that was an embarrassing moment for American journalism because, as usual, it was no due process. It was all Trump's guilt. Trump campaign colluded with Russia to do all kinds of bad things. And the FBI got warrants

off it. I mean, it was horrible. It was a horrible part of American industry. Here's the people who really propped it up. Scarborough MSNBC, Katie Turr, MSNBC, Sonny Haas in the View, that's ABC News, Rachel Motto, MSNBC, and Jake Tapper of CNN, go. Why this is interesting and significant is that President Trump and others are trying to say that the FBI is corrupt and they had this steel dossier,

which they say has been discredited, which is not entirely true, and that it's all because of the steel dossier and this whole investigation is based on nonsense. Well, it is entirely true. He's the worst. That guy. Of all of them. This is a fascinating stories. New England, as I told you last week, for the Celtics Cavs game. And when I was there, the governor of New Hampshire, Kelly Ayat, issued an order to her state troopers, which I'll tell you about in a moment. The reason she did that was the governor of Massachusetts, Mora Healy, is in cooperating with Homeland Security. So here you have

Massachusetts, all right, and right north is New Hampshire, but you couldn't have two more opposite states. So Healy represents the Massachusetts machine, which is far left. All right, that's who they are. And here's what she says about ICE. Quote, Massachusetts law protects our residents from illegal detention, prevents the federal government from forcing local law enforcement to make decisions contrary to public safety interests of their community. This decision allows local law enforcement to focus their resources on keeping people safe. So it's like, blank you federal government, I, the governor of Massachusetts, am not going

to obey federal law. A yacht, who is a Republican, issues this statement. Quote, it is critical for state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal authorities, protect our citizens. Criminals who are in the country illegally opposed to danger should be apprehended and removed. A support and encourage New Hampshire law enforcement agencies cooperate with ICE to enforce our laws

and keep our communities safe. So they both say, a yacht and Healy, oh, we're going to keep the community safe. One says, I'm not obeying the law. The other, New Hampshire, Ayat, says all New Hampshire law enforcement have to cooperate with ICE. This is unbelievable. So if you know New England like I do, okay, from Holt in Maine to Greenwich, Connecticut, I know every foot of it. It's blue.

It is liberal, okay, except for the live-free or die state, which is a lot of. is split. Now, many liberals from Boston go and live in New Hampshire because the taxation is so much lower in New Hampshire. And they can commute to Boston. So that is skewed the New Hampshire vote. But this is like a war between the two governors. Now, Ayat is smart because she knows

that if you're an undocumented alien living in New Hampshire, you're going south to mess. Now that the New Hampshire cops can arrest you and hold you for ice. That's what's going on. Fascinating story. Absolutely underreported. I saw it myself. I didn't see it anywhere else.

All right. Now this is another barely significant story. The Heritage Foundation. We use them. I'm hopefully we're going to get somebody on Wednesday here. It's fairly conservative out of the think tank in Washington. They have analyzed. analyzed President Biden's executive orders. And they have found that almost all of the orders were signed by auto pen.

Now you'll notice that when Trump signs an order, executive order, he signs it in front of the press, the pool, and he holds it up. Biden didn't do that. In fact, he never signed it himself with his hand and a pen. He used an auto pen. You set the table, put on a playlist, even made the lasagna from scratch. And now you're wearing it. OxyClean MaxForce spray tackles tough, set in stains the first time.

Adulting is hard. Fighting stains shouldn't be. Oxyclean Maxforce. It's not clean unless it's oxyclean. Put us in a box. Go ahead. That just gives us something to break out of. Because the next generation 2025 GMC terrain elevation is raising the standard of what comes

standard as far as expectations go why meet them when you can shatter them what we choose to challenge we challenge completely we are professional grade visit gmc.com to learn more now some believe and i am one of them if i had no idea what he was saying he didn't know what it was you're going to see from almost day one in 2021 if i had no idea of what he was he didn't know what it was you're going to see from almost day one in 2021 if i had no idea what he's doing. You're going to see that. That's going to come out. So for four years, we didn't have a president. That is staggering. But Heritage is now looking into this and trying to get as much documentation as possible to prove that Biden didn't do his job, that other people were doing it and then machines were signing documents did you hear that story anywhere if you did

please do me a favor bill at bill o'reilly dot com tell me where you heard it bill at bill o'reilly dot com if you heard it from a news agency oh you float around the internet someplace i don't live in that world but if you heard it from a legitimate news agency or talk radio or cable whatever bill at bill o'reilly dot com tell me where you heard it So I don't think it's been reported. Smart life, kindness. So as you know, Holly DeThera Dog passed last week, nine and a half, brain tumor.

And I made an announcement, and my family issued a statement about Holly. So on X, a half million people engaged in that statement, a half million all over the world. 100,000 posts, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and about 200,000 watched the segment where I talked about Holly on the No Spin News. This is apart from our broadcasts. So if you add all that up, we're about a million people all over the world reacted to

Holly. Now I got a beautiful sculpture from a guy in Okinawa, Japan. I was going to give his name, but I don't want to do that. But if you're watching me, I really appreciate that. It was very, very skillfully done and very kind of you to send that to me. Kindness. All right, so everybody who reacted to Holly's passing were being kind, you know, because you want people, ah, who care, I don't care, but, and they say great things about Holly and all that. You have to teach that. Kindness has to be taught. You're not born as a baby kind. They're nice babies and they're cute and all, but they're not born kind. They have to teach it. Public school does not teach kindness. Because I taught

high school way back but it was you know pretty much the same nobody teaching kindness bullying and all of that I mean they take in front of once in a while but they're not bringing kindness into their lesson plan they being the school boards and teachers I guess would like to do it I hope they would but they there's just not emphasized at all parents some of them teach kindness but others don't. And if you're a selfish parent or grandparent or you care about it as yourself, believe me, that kid's going to pick that up.

Kindness is the key to life if you want to be a positive presence on the planet. You've got to think about other people. You've got to go outside of yourself. If you're thinking about yourself every second, which is what we're doing in America these days, narcissism, all-time high, then you're not going to possibly be kind

because you don't even know. Doesn't register. So you parents and grandparents out there, you got, and even if they're teenagers, you got to hone in on this. Because kind people, they prosper, unkind people in the short term, they might, but they're miserable in the long term. That is smart life. Thanks again for the Holly stuff. Not a lot to me and my family. Stay on history, March 10, 2003, the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Mains, lead singer, said this.

Go. We're changing of President of the United States. Well, it changed her life. So the USA was about to invade Iraq to remember. move Saddam Hussein of the heinous dictator. And Natalie didn't like it. But we're ashamed of the President of the United States from Texas. Blew that band up.

This blew it up. That was 22 years ago today. And they just banned it three years later. And then I got back together. And they went on tour last year, but they've never been the same. Now, I talked to Natalie Mainz. I ran into her someplace. I can't even remember when.

She didn't have any use from me, believe me. But I was trying to engage her. You know, like, I want to see your point of view or hear your point of view. I'm doing that. She recanted, to her credit, all right, May 21st, 2006. All right, they put out an album,

and then Natalie said, oh, I'm sorry, I said that. I don't really believe that. Now, maybe she did it because she had to put out the aisle. I don't know. But everybody remembered the Dixie Chicks who are no longer the Dixie Chicks. chicks, they're just the chicks now. But they're around. So what are we got for final thought? Irish American Month. We'll be back with it in a moment. All right, there's a final thought of the day.

On Friday, President Trump signed another executive order. His hand must hurt. Designating this month, March, Irish American Heritage Month. Well, great people. And they voted for me at heavy numbers, so I like them even. Yeah, you have to like it. You know, you're not supposed to, but you have to like that. So for the Irish American people proclamation. All right, so every month is something I can't keep track, and, you know, I'm always proud to be Irish American.

I don't need a month, but it's nice that President Trump. to acknowledge us. There are, in the United States of America, 32 million Irish Americans. That's a lot of green, 32 million. In the Republic of Ireland, 5 million. 32 million here, 5 million over there. And you know what?

I like it that way. Because you go to Ireland, and I've been to every, county it is so beautiful there because there's not a lot of people there's a lot of cows it's it's just the topography is just fabulous i'm going back again not this year but next year if i'm still here um because it's one of the greatest places on the planet and i'm not just saying it because i'm irish it's just i don't know anybody's ever gone to ireland who didn't like it I know people who got in Italy didn't like it. A little crowded, a little hot, whatever.

Everybody I know like that. So it's Irish American Heritage a month. And St. Patrick's a week from today. Here in New York, it's always a zoo. You know, I say it every year, but just keep it under control. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again.

more.
