Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, June 19th, 2024, stand up for your country. So eight days, one of the most important debates in U.S. history to take place. You know that. We are going to have the best coverage. More importantly, you know, I'm bragging about best, we'll have very honest coverage because we are not coming at this from any kind of ideological viewpoint.

I have been clear that I believe President Biden is a terrible chief executive, the second worst in our history. And I'll back that up in my upcoming book confronting the presidents, and I've backed it up here. But that doesn't mean that I'm incapable of covering an event, honestly, and with It's because we are purveyors of information here, all right? That's what we do. It separates us from almost every other television news organization in the world. We're not in this business to speak to the choir. We're in the business to tell you what is happening, why it's happening, and get you the best information. And we have, of course, very good sources. We are technicians here. All right, now I'm going to

prove this right now the difference between the no spin news bill o'reilly dot com and all the rest okay that is the subject of this evening talk of points memo it comes out of political fanaticism and fanaticism is divided into two categories one what they call true believers these are the mooney types the cults where they just are staggeringly strident in what they believe. And the other start of fanaticism is money, where they can make money being fanatical in the political realm. Okay, so let us start, and one more caveat, most Americans are not like this. The folks are not like this. There are some, and you know who they are in your life, but not most, okay? But on television and in the

media whoa my earpiece just fell out here um anyway let's begin um yesterday on the view go joe biden's record as a president yeah is a very very strong record i mean we are we are the economic envy of the world right doesn't mean our economy is perfect but literally we are the envy of the world we've got a better situation than anybody we've got unemployment rates that we haven't seen in generations okay so every poll shows that Joe Biden's job approval rating is now below 40%. So this woman comes on the air and says, very strong record. Well, what are we all stupid?

I mean, the unfavorability job, the direction of the country is 70% of Americans feel the country is going in the wrong direction. So how could a sitting president be doing a, quote, very, very strong, job if 70% feel a country is going in the wrong direction. Impossible. And then she says, we have unemployment rates we haven't seen in generations. The current unemployment rate, May, 4%. Okay. In February 2020, under Trump, right before COVID, 3.5%. Now, Ms. Maddo doesn't care. about what she says, if it's factual or not. She doesn't care.

She makes an enormous amount of money, all right, pushing forth a far left point of view. And if she's got to distort stat, do you think she looked that up? No. It's an easy stat, lady. Okay? we have the unemployment race we haven't seen in generations. Yeah, we saw it four years ago, before COVID, lower. Okay, then we have on the right, not as significant as on the left, because remember,

the corporate media, NBC News, and Ms. Maddo's case, has far more left-wingerers than right-wingers. You just add it up. But there are fanatics on the right. Go. But the Democrats were very tactical, folks. They're not stupid. They understand that it doesn't matter if these illegals vote or not. It does.

I mean, it's terrible. Obviously, if they do, they broke the law. All right. All Democrats do not want illegal aliens to vote. Now, the far left does, but he didn't define it that way. He said the Democrats, you know, no, no. If you were to believe that, then every Democrat in the country is fostering lawbreaking because it's illegal to vote if you're not a U.S. citizen.

Everyone, no, it's not true. Okay, so the social media hypes the fanaticism. If you are a deliberate person putting forth facts and a point of view that is based on reality, you're not going to get a lot of time on the political websites. If you throw the hand grenade and attack somebody personally, you're going to get headlines all day long. That's a big change in this country. So if you're seeking attention, seeking a choir to follow you, you throw those bombs. All right, because of social media, you'll pick them up, because they want clicks.

They want people to look in. Now, people who are fanatics live in a delusional world. So I was on a Hannity radio program today, and I kind of hijacked the show, as I am known to do. And I asked him a question. We're talking about the border, the open border, where President Biden is solely responsible. Congress didn't do it. Judges didn't do it. He did it. One man, executive order, open that border, to all the danger. Okay? And we were talking about how many families in this country have lost loved ones because of the open border and that there were eight terrorists arrested last week tied to ISIS that came across the southern border. So I asked Andy, I said, those are all facts. Why do you think a George at Julia Roberts, the Hollywood crowd, totally ignores that and raises millions of dollars, gives millions of dollars to reelect Joe Biden. Why? I asked Sean Hannity that question.

Now, I'm not going to give you Hannity's answer. You've got to go to Bill O'Reilly.com and listen to the show. We have a post it there. Because if I give you his answer, I might muddle it up. I want you to hear what his answer is, an interesting answer. But I think it's safe to say, and factualists say, that if you're a political fanatic, you live in a delusional world. You don't want to know the truth. You just want to hear what you believe. Enter again, and I'm sorry I'm picking on the woman. I never even met her, this racial matter.

And I'm picking on her tonight, but I'm only doing it because these are the most recent sound bites. All right? Roll it. That's something that the United States of America contributed to the world's response and has a lot to be proud of, and you have a lot to be proud of. I don't know if it's okay for me to ask you this, but if there had been a problem in developing a vaccine for COVID, if we hadn't been able to do that, do you have in mind a number about how many people would have died? I think globally it would be many more millions. Okay, so Mato says the United States has a lot to be proud of in developing the vaccine for COVID. it? Well, who developed it? I believe that would be President Trump with Operation Warped Speed.

Now, if you saw my interview with Donald Trump in the history tour, he walked right through how he got that thing done with the farmer, the big companies. He negotiated those deals. Trumped it to get that vaccine so fast. Now, both Fauci and Mato had never. it. The vaccine saved millions of lives. But did you hear Donald Trump's name mentioned there? No. No. It's the United States of America contributed to the world's response and there's a lot to be proud of. The United States of America. Okay, the taxpayer paid for it, all right, but Trump did it. So, Matt, it totally ignores that. It's just incredible.

And most of all, it's dishonest. And that's a memo. 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.

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, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, President Biden didn't show up for work today at the White House. Okay. He didn't show up. He's in Rojobef, Delaware. I don't know what he's doing,

but I suspect he's trying to memorize answers for the debate, eight days from today. There is a new Joe Biden ad that attacks President Trump. Roll it. In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump for who he is. He's been convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for sexual assault, and he committed financial fraud. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's been working, lowering health care costs and making big corporations pay their fair share. This election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family. I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message. Well, Mr. President, with all due respect, you might be careful with that kind of stuff.

Because there's a woman named Tara Reid who worked in your proximity in D.C. from 1992, 1993. three, okay? She alleges that you, uh, let's just say that you are guilty of inappropriate behavior toward her. Okay. Um, she has sued the Department of Justice saying that, uh, they, uh, they allowed it to happen. She did not file a criminal complaint, but she did file a public incident police report on April 9th, 2020, saying she's a victim of sexual assault. Now, the Republicans Trump could run a spot on her, and all they would have to do would be to pull a clip from 60 minutes who interviewed Ms. Reed. Roll it. And when I pulled away, he pulled back, and he seemed, he looked at me like kind of almost annoyed, and he seemed, and he said,

said, come on, man, I heard you liked me. And that's when he got, I can see that he was angry, and he put his finger kind of towards my face. And he said, you know, you're nothing to me. You're nothing. Well, if you want to get into mud, and I think this is what's going to evolve, I do. I think this is going to be the dirtiest, muddiest campaign in history. There you go. Now, Ms. Reed, story is murky. To be fair, I think she's in Russia. She made an announcement that she's defecting to Russia. You don't have to defect.

I don't know if she's giving up her citizenship or not, but it's a murky situation. But that's 60 minutes. So if Trump and the Republicans want to put a spot together, they can. All right, so Trump was in Racine, Wisconsin yesterday. And, you know, here we go. Roll it. Is anybody going to watch the debate?

He's going to be so pumped up. He's going to be pumped up. You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened? Who left that somebody didn't pick up? Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. I wonder who that could have been. I don't know.

Actually, I think it was Joe. All right. So he's been what he always is, a provocateur. playing to his crew. Does that help him win back the presidency? So all of this stuff kind of makes me nostalgic for the old days of politics in America. And there is a new movie coming out on June 27th in the theaters. It is called Something to Stand for. It is a positive movie about America. Wow. And involved deeply in the film is Mike Roe. You know him. He's a TV guy, commentator. He's got all kinds of stuff, podcasts going on. And he joins us now from New York City.

So I wanted to run all this stuff before we got to you to show you, and I know you know, and everybody watching around the world, me and you tonight, that we have disintegrated on our political front and our media front here. Is your movie, and I'll get the name of it again, stumping to stand for? Is that going to uplift us? I sure hope so. I found it uplifting to do. And before I brag about it, let me tell you that I think you made a really important point

early on about about our media and uh i think a lot today about that hans christian anderson story you know the emperor's new clothes and uh and i think about the courage that kid had or maybe just the complete lack of guile and saying hey wait you know he's naked and all the townspeople you know who had been pretending that he wasn't finally getting that memo that's that's what we need our media to be right we need somebody to tell us the truth otherwise we're just town people nodding along so but it's not going to happen on the corporate level it does happen independently i mean you tell the truth on your podcast as far as i know i tell the truth at great risk to me personally and professionally i'm blackballed uh by a lot of the big media companies

because i tell the truth they don't want to hear that there's so much money to be made now in the speaking to the choir precincts that the corporate media is not going to abandon that but your movie of and i'm looking forward to seeing it runs down a bunch of uh very huge historical occurrences american revolution world war two civil rights movement but in a way that compliments america is that right it's correct you look i'm not just interested in history my dad was a history teacher. My podcast is called The Way I heard it because obviously I wasn't there

to bear witness to these events, but I think they're so important. And I'm borrowing from Paul Harvey, who I'm sure you must have met in your time. Sure, absolutely. His radio show, the rest of the story, was such a great way to present a mystery. I tell you something you didn't know

about somebody you do. take you along for a ride, and then have a reveal at the end. And my podcast has done well with that formula, which I borrowed, and this movie uses it. We have nine stories. Each one is a brief mystery about somebody you know that focuses on something that you didn't. And we've lined them all up together and stitched in between is a trip to the National Mall where I visit the statuary and the memorials. and the monuments that in many cases were built to honor the men that the movie pays a tribute to.

So obviously, it's a love letter to the country for Independence Day, and it was inspired in no small part by some of the points you were making earlier. It's not about liberal or Democrat or Republican or conservative. It's really about American and anti-American. When you look at the attacks on our statuary, when you look at our willful, decision to judge the past by today's standards. You can start, I think, to maybe understand the disconnect that has an awful lot of people confused this Fourth of July. Now, how did you get the film produced? No big corporation would back a film like this. Would you raise the money independently? Yeah, I went to Oklahoma. I hired 300 actors from Oklahoma. The entire crew,

100 people from Oklahoma. There might have been two people from Texas. But by and large, it was a message from the heart, you know, delivered from the heartland. All right, but who paid for all that, Mike? Well, I mean, a lot of people kind of kicked in. TBN is involved in this. Fathom is the theater group that made it happen. Okay.

But mostly, you know, impact productions are partners of mine. But we took stories that I wrote over the last six or seven years. and we simply adapted them to the big screen. So a lot of the actual work was already done. It just occurred to us that it seemed like it would be a good time to put something out there that focuses on humor, gratitude, the history that we used to be taught on a regular basis. It's just a good-natured tap on the country's metaphorical shoulders, Bill.

All right. So it's independently financed, the folks who you got investors and all of that. And then it comes out June 27th. And I'm going to go see it. And then I want you to come back because as a historian myself, I'm going to have some questions, all right? And I hope you don't screw up, Mike, because you know me. I'm going to go right in. I'm going to go right.

I know, no, bring it, bring it. Because you've done with, and I'm sorry to suck up like this, but your books made history interesting for people who are otherwise. not interested and that's a big part i think of what we need to do you got to be a populist and you and you have to bring and the book coming up confronting the presidents which will send you a galley of next week out september 10th is the same formula now last question for you um i like the whole tone of this obviously i love my country i'm loyal to my country um but i believe that the United States of America is in a steep decline. Do you agree? In 1998, every reliable poll pegged 70 to 71 percent of Americans as describing themselves as either intensely or extremely

patriotic. That same poll today puts it at 39 percent, closer to 18 percent for people under 30. So when politics and patriotism become conflated, we're going to see some unintended consequences. And I think they're playing out right now. Gone are the days where Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan go out to get a stake after tearing each other's throats out during the day. We have lost the ability to have any kind of nuance when we look back in time. And look, my last thought is this, we're a work in progress. We're never going to be finished, and our country was formed by imperfect people. But the progress we've made is shocking.

It's stunning. And there's still every reason in the world to celebrate it, to be proud of it, and to be grateful for it. And that's what I'm doing on Independence Day. All right. And we appreciate, if you want more on this and a preview, something to stand for dot movie. Something to stand for dot movie. All right, Mike, we'll see you in a few weeks

with my review of the film. We appreciate it coming on tonight. Thank you, Bill. Be well. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture,

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 another terrible migrant story for you, Colorado outside of Denver, guy named Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, 47 years old. He's speeding, according to cops driving a truck. He hits five other vehicles, there's Mendoza, killing one of the drivers,

64-year-old Scott Miller, seriously injuring at least one other driver. Okay, Cruz Mendoza did time for drug charges in order. again, April 2002, okay, still in the country. You ready? 16 times. He was either booted or left the country and came back, 16 times illegally, one six. Now, that's it. We don't have a border when a guy like this can come across it 16 times illegally. Not only that, initially he was charged with a felony for killing, all right, another human being, but now it's been busted down to a misdemeanor, careless driving. This is Colorado that doesn't want to punish migrants no matter what they do.

Now, that might be a bit unfair, but it's really bordering there. As you know, I worked in Denver for two years. Totally different city back then. Now, it's a madhouse. A literal madhouse. Awful. Chicago. The head of the teachers union there is a woman named Stacey Davis.

She is a radical leftist. She goes on the radio, WBBM, very good of affiliate, okay, and says this. Go. Conservatives don't even want black children to be able to read. Remember, these saying conservatives are the conservatives who probably would have been championing black codes, you know, during reconstruction or thereafter. So forgive me again if conservatives pushing back on educating immigrant children, black children, children who live in poverty, doesn't make my anxiety go up.

So conservatives don't even want black children to be able to read, according to the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. Okay. San Francisco is the worst run city in America, according to Wallet Hub. Not a shock, right? We've been reporting on this for two years. Now, Wallet Hub compared 148 Americans. cities, all right, six categories, financial stability, education, health, safety, economy,

and infrastructure, and pollution. San Francisco is the worst because it's out of control. Radical leftists run the city. Here are the other top nine worst cities in the country. Oakland, right across the bay, Gulfport, Mississippi, New York City, Flint, Michigan, Cleveland, Tacoma, Washington, Denver, hello, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles. Boy, boy, that's quite the list, huh? Here are the best run cities. Nampa, Idaho, number one best run city in the USA. Lexington, Kentucky, Boise, Idaho.

Two Idaho's in the top three. Nashua, New Hampshire, Oklahoma City, Durham, North Carolina, Provo, Utah. Fort Wayne, Indiana, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Wichita, Kansas. There you go. Smart life. Okay. I always encourage people to listen and watch the no-spin news with a pen and paper. Now, you concierge and premium members can get a transcript, so you don't have to do that.

You can just ask and we'll send it to you. All right, this will save you money. Food. through the roof, right? We all have to eat. There is an app. I don't even know what an app is, but there is one. Too good to go app.

Too good to go app. You get it in your app store or Google Play. This is an outfit out of Denmark. So you put your information and it tells you what restaurants in your area will sell you food for a very low price. Okay? So to go, too good to go is a place you can hunt for nearby restaurants, bakeries, or grocery stores that may have goods would otherwise end up as waste by the end of the day. Okay. Now I didn't use end of the day as a cliche.

That's what they say. So you go in there and you say, OK, the problem is that you don't know what you're getting. They give you a bag of food, but you don't know really what it is. I don't like that. However, it's only between $4 and $7. So if you get a steak or something good is well worth it, right? Now, I want some of you to do this, because

because this is a smart life segment and tell me how it works. Because I'm not going to do it. I don't know an app from an ASP, ASP, it's a snake. I don't know. Would you tell me if it works, okay? Americans of poor diets are falling. So, 1999, half of us had a bad diet. Now, 37%.

What's a bad diet? sugar, all right, processed meat, saturated fat, salt, sodium. You're eating a lot of that, bad diet. What's a good diet? Fruits, vegetables, you know, whole grains, fish, shellfish, nut, seeds, legumes. I don't know what the difference between vegetable and legumes are, but I like the word legumes. All right, so the more of that eat, the healthy you are. Now, it is the key to good health.

I wish I had learned this lesson when I was younger. I'm in pretty good shape now, and I really work at it. You know that. But if I had learned this lesson maybe 20 years ago, I'd be in better shape. And I would have eliminated some of the health problems that I've had to deal with. And everybody has to deal with it. Because diet is it. They say diet and exercise?

Okay. But it's really diet. I mean, you've got to move it. You got to get out and do the power walks, but, right. So what I do now is this. Every day in the morning, I decide what I'm going to eat that day. And I base it on what I ate the day before. So if I had a Carvel ice cream, which I did last week,

and the best ice cream on Earth, that's my first job was at Carvel, then I'm not going to have any ice cream this week. I know, but it's a lot of sugar. And I put a little hot fudge on it. It was really good. But once every two weeks for that. So every morning I get up and I say, okay, I'm going to have this. And I'm going to have this.

And I balance it out. And if it's bad, like I'll put a burger on the grill and some hot dogs. I'm partial to Nathan's. But once a week tops on that. Okay? So that's what you do. You've got to plan. You can't be driving into the window and they're throwing this greasy garbage in your front seat. No. It's going to shorten your life. This day in history, June 19, 1865, Union troops arrive in Galveston, Texas to tell Texans that all slaves are freed. fascinating story and today is the federal holiday holiday of june 10th so lee surrendered to grant on april 9th 1865 and if you want to know all about that you read killing lincoln we have

everything about it however texas didn't know it's so far away from virginia they didn't know what happened or any news okay so union troops got on vessels and went to Texas because Texas was a Confederate state. They got off the boat and they said, hey, you slaves, you're all free. That's Juneteenth. There were an estimated 250,000 slaves in Texas at that time. That's a big crew. Now, many of the slaves didn't leave their plantations or wherever they were living because they

didn't know where to go. It wasn't like the federal government was given them money or relocation expenses. They had nowhere to go. So they stayed, but they weren't enslaved anymore. You had to pay them, but it was a mess. Believe me, that whole after the Civil War thing was a colossal mess. They call it Reconstruction, but boy, oh boy. And you can imagine four million slaves in America and you got nothing for them. Got no house, you got no money. Yeah, they had freedom. But then there were people who were trying to deny them that.

You know, in vigilante groups, it was a mess. It didn't get sorted out about 30 years. But anyway, today, 159 years ago, June 19th, the state of Texas got the word, June 10th. Okay, final thought in a moment. Here is the final thought of the day. It is very dicey for parents to give their adult children advice, particularly if they don't ask for it.

Okay? But you see things that may be hurting your children and you want to help if you're a good parent, right? So I've got young adults, very young adults. and the situation involving my son that's not right, I know it, but I want him to handle it. I don't want, you know, me going in, that's like Godzilla, you know, and it's not good. Not Don Corleone here. So I know what's going on, and I'm advising him on how to handle it, but it's a tough one. I'm not going to tell you what it is, not fair.

So I said to him last night, look, if you want me to, because this is a fairly serious situation, I'll handle it. But I want you to think about it. We have a few options left that you can do. And he said, okay, that sounds fair. Now, I will handle it if the options don't pan out, because it's wrong. And I'm not going to allow my children. I don't care how well they are to be abused or taken advantage of it.

I will not. Main job of a father is to protect his children. Okay? All right. So now I'm watching this thing very, very, very closely. But I don't want, because of who I am, him to be hurt by my intrusion. Like, oh, look at this, he runs to daddy, you know, all of that. of. Man, it is a tight rope to walk that. You got to really give it a lot of thought. And when

you're dealing with your children and they're adults, lots of times they think they know it all. You know that. And they don't. You got to let them make their own mistakes unless it's really life-altering. And this one, my son knows, okay, that this is wrong. And it may be beyond him and his capacity at this point in his life to right the wrong not beyond me but i'm bringing you this as a final thought because i know there are just so many parents worried about their young adult children even older children try not to intrude unless you have to but if they ask your advice and they need your help give it to them thank you for watching and listening to the been news. We'll see you get tomorrow.
