Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, September 25th, 2023, stand up for your country. Enormous corruption right now in the USA. I think pretty much everybody knows it. Some won't admit it. but almost every day we see corruption right in front of us. And it's a three-tiered situation.
Starting point is 00:00:37 The Justice Department, politicians, not all, but enough, and the media. All three have real problems with corruption. And we're going to look at the media now, and that's the talking points memo this evening. So Americans can no longer get accurate information about their country or the world. It used to be, and I'm not going to give a history lesson here, but the Founding Fathers, many of whom despise the press, like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, they knew there had to be vehicles to get information to the voters.
Starting point is 00:01:21 And that's why the press has special privileges in the Constitution. Okay? But what happened was the big corporations, Disney, Comcast, Warner, Fox took over the television media and the newspapers were also dominated by corporate entities, almost all of whom are liberal. Fox is the exception. Now, last week, Rupert Murdoch,
Starting point is 00:02:00 the chairman of Fox News, announced he was going to resign. He's 92 years old. Almost immediately, CNN launched into its propaganda mode. It ran a prime time montage of sound
Starting point is 00:02:21 from Fox News to prove FNC is racist. Roll the tape. Maybe tomorrow he says he's going to transition to a woman. Better yet, maybe a black woman, maybe even better, half black, half Pacific Islander, something like that. Slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government. Slaves who worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government. It sounds like I'm soft on slavery, correct?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Okay. So, that sound bite, 2016, was based on a speech by Michelle Obama, where she was explaining that slaves built the White House. Here's my soundbite in entirety. Go. Finally tonight, fact of tip of the day, as we mentioned talking points memo, Michelle Obama referenced slaves building the White House and referring to the evolution of America
Starting point is 00:03:40 in a positive way. It was a positive comment. The history behind a remark is fascinating. Slaves that worked there were well-fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802. However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. So Michelle Obama is essentially correct in citing slaves as builders of the White House, but there were others working as well. That sound like I justified slavery to you?
Starting point is 00:04:13 So CNN took eight seconds out of a 40 seconds. and soundbite. Two, try to convince its audience that I am a racist, that I justify slavery. Does it get any lower than that? Does it? So, I contacted my attorneys, who are excellent. They wrote a letter to the CEO of CNN, David Zazlov, Z.A. L-A-V, and said, we need an apology and we need it quick.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Okay? So CNN's top attorney got back a few hours ago and says, we will have a response. I await it. Okay. Now, if I were to sue CNN, I would win because they obviously defame me. And they did it on purpose with malice. They had the full sound cut. And they just ran apart that would indicate something false about me.
Starting point is 00:05:26 But I'd have to show damages to get any money, and it would take three years, and millions of dollars. I'd have to pay millions of dollars to my attorneys and court costs to get the thing in a position where I'd win, but I wouldn't win because the judge would go or the jury. Well, O'Reilly's successful. It didn't really damage him. damage me. Okay? I mean, this is the kind of propaganda that CNN puts out every day, every day. So I'm awaiting its response, and I will report it to you. And it's not, I'm not trying to make myself a martyr or a victim here. I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself. Okay, but these news, corporate news agencies do this all the time. Almost every day they do it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And most people can't afford to take them on. So they're smeared and slimed, particularly if you're a conservative or a traditional person. So this is corruption. CNN is worldwide. It goes all over the world. And somebody doesn't know me, sees me walking down, ooh, look at the racist. He's a racist. He justified slavery.
Starting point is 00:06:48 when I did the exact opposite and put Michelle Obama's remarks into the proper historical context which is what we do I'm telling you you know it's so disturbing for me to watch this because I've been in this business almost 50 years now
Starting point is 00:07:09 to see how drastically this whole thing is declined And I'm speaking with Tucker Carlson tonight. We're taping the interview in Manhattan for killing the witches. I'll tell you a little bit more about it later. And I think that's going to come up. It has to come up. I mean, the media in general, what the deuce is going on here.
Starting point is 00:07:37 And again, it comes into your home and your life because voters can't find out what the truth is any longer. You can't. And that's a memo. 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, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America
Starting point is 00:08:20 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. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast,
Starting point is 00:08:37 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 world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:09:04 All right, Joe Biden's schedule. He had a couple of meetings today. That was nice. One with the Pacific Islander people, and you got to post for a family with them, family photo. Excellent. And then he met with a board of advisors on historically black colleges and universities. That's very nice. He didn't do anything about the border. He didn't do anything about inflation. Didn't do anything about the economy. Didn't do anything about violent crime. Didn't do anything about fentanyl pouring in. But they had meetings. We had a lot of meetings. Now on Friday, the White House announced that there's a new committee or something.
Starting point is 00:09:44 headed by Vice President Harris, and it's to prevent gun violence. It's a whole brand new thing. I write about it in the message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, which I hope when you get up every morning, it's one of the things that you do. Check in. You don't have to be a member. You don't be anything like that.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Okay? And I'm going, you know, hey, this is a new office. So here is President Biden announcing what's going on. Go. After every mass shooting, we hear a simple message. The same message all over the country. I've been to every mass shooting. Do something.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Oh, of course, President Biden hasn't been to every mass shooting. He's been to one this year. There have been 506 mass shootings so far in 2023. And President Biden visited the site of one. But he said he'd been to everyone. So again, it comes back to what I was telling you. He's not lying. He doesn't know what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:10:55 That he went off the teleprompter there. They don't write that for him. I've been to every one of them. No human being, particularly the president of any country, would make such an outlandish statement if he or she actually knew what the words were coming out of their mouths. He doesn't know. Now, I know some of you disagree, but it just logically, it's just incredible.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Anyway, the White House was asked about, and they have no comment. Shocking poll, the left doesn't know what to do about this. ABC News, Washington Post poll. All right, Democrats 25, Republicans 25, Independence, 42. This time last year, it would have been Democrats 45, Republicans 25. But thanks to us, embarrassed all these polling agencies. Now it's fair. First question, if the 24 presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?
Starting point is 00:12:01 Trump, 51% Biden 42. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Second question, do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden's handling his job? Approved 37, disapprove 56. No opinion, seven. Next question. Would you like to Democrats to nominate Biden? 33. Yes. Nominate someone else 62. Not good. final question, would you like the Republican Party to nominate somebody else or keep Donald Trump? Trump 54, DeSantis 15, Haley 7, Pence 6, Scott 4, Christy 3, Rameswamy 3.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Now, that shot, that's, again, ABC News, Washington Post, and both news organizations, are favorable to the Democratic Party. ABC, not like the Washington Post. The Washington Post. The Washington Post is zealots. I mean, they're in business with them. ABC leans, but they're not crazy. So Larry Sabato, remember that name?
Starting point is 00:13:20 I used them a lot on a factor. He's a pollster. He works at the University of Virginia. He issued a statement, quote, ignore the Washington Post ABC poll. It's ridiculous outlier. Trump up 10 over Biden laughable, my question, how could you even a publisher poll so absurd on his face will be a lingering embarrassment to you, unquote, to you meaning the Washington
Starting point is 00:13:43 Post ABC News. This is Larry Sabato's saying this. So I told you, excuse me, that Sabato has now thrown in with the far left. And I told you that in the last election cycle, because it's easy to see. All right? So Sabato's furious about this. And I asked myself, look, we got to back up that my opinion is that Sabato's a leftist. So found an interesting soundbite. He teaches, as I said, the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He went to the rally where Trump said there are good people at both sides. Remember that Charlottesville rally? Okay. What Trump was talking about was the statues, whether they should stay or go. But Sabato and others made it about Trump was saying there were good people on the Nazi side. And then the January 6th thing, too.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Let's roll Sabato. First Charlottesville in 2017, which I'm familiar with because I watched it, and January 6th, 2021, when President Trump himself using Twitter encouraged his followers to come, and said it will be wild so saboteau doesn't like Trump all right and now he's getting nervous as is the democratic establishment to get nervous now what do I think about the poll I don't think the poll reflects where we are right now in America however Biden is trending down the more we see the soundbite I just showed you and his sons and the Justice Department and the corruption and the migrants and the inflation. He's trending down and fast.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Ten, that's, it could be, it doesn't match the other polling, but I think it might. I think you're going to see a real fast downside to Biden, and then he will submit his resignation. for health reasons. That's my prediction. Okay, here's an interesting story. I think I'm the only one who got it. So there's a debate on Wednesday. All right, and on Thursday we'll have our analysis of the debate. It's the Republican debate. DeSantis, Pence, Haley, Scott, Ramoswamy, Christy, California, CME Valley, North of L.A.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Okay. Trump, not going, doesn't need. need to go. All right? But guess who's going on the Democratic side to be the person who replies to the debate? Gavin Newsom, Governor California. Whoa! Now, he's supposed to be Biden's rival, right? But the Biden campaign is sending him to Cemi Valley for the debate. So that tells me a deal has been made between Newsom and the Biden administration. Newsom, as he said last week, isn't running and is supporting Joe. That came out last week. But if Joe goes, the Biden administration is going to support Newsom.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I think. That's what this tells me. All right, the migration chaos. So, it's not only here in America, France has now beefed up their army on the border with Italy to stop migrants coming from Italy and France. Italy is considering using its navy to blockade Tunisia and Libya where African migrants are coming, getting on boats, and coming to Italy. The order has not been issued, but it's being consider. Pope Francis doesn't like this at all. So he goes to France and he says an ample number of
Starting point is 00:17:59 legal and regular entrances of migrants with emphasis on accepting those fleeing war, hunger, and poverty rather than on preservation of one's own well-being. Okay. So he basically says, saying, you've got to accept everybody from these terrible countries who, and they are terrible, a lot of them, war, violence, famine, poverty. Pope Francis said, look, don't stop them, you've got to commit. Theologically, he's correct. That's the message of Christianity. You have to help the downtrod but public policy-wise rendering to caesar in the words of jesus the pope is so far off it's stunning because the people who live in america and in france and italy and every developed country are suffering with the wave of millions of people coming in who must be supported by the tax
Starting point is 00:19:19 dollars of those people. El Paso, Texas is being torn to pieces. Here's the mayor. If you look over there, we're looking at well over 2,000 looking to come into the United States right now. So we are working with a lot of our public. partners today, but I've been talking about the last couple of days that the city of El Paso only has so many resources, and we have come to what we look at, a breaking point right now. New York City is going to be riots in New York. He's nowhere to put the hundreds of thousands of migrants coming up here. There's nowhere to educate them. There's not enough emergency rooms for them. So the Pope, and don't give me any.
Starting point is 00:20:10 the Pope. He's a humble man. He doesn't even live in the Vatican. He lives in an apartment. He's not one of these popes that's flash and all his stuff. But he's a liberation theologian. Okay. He doesn't really grasp, all right, the morality that it takes to run a country like the United States where all citizens have to be considered, not just the migrants. If we could wave a magic wand and make life better for the migrants, we would do it. But you don't destroy an infrastructure when you cannot support. Can't. Unbelievable story. Senator Bob Menendez, Democrat, New Jersey, second time, charged with corruption. He says he didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 He says he's going to be acquitted, but he's going to trial. This is the Justice Department. This is Merrick Garland after him. He's entitled to due process, but not entitled to due process. According to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Go. The situation is quite unfortunate, but I do believe that it is in the best interests. for Senator Menendez to resign in this moment.
Starting point is 00:21:38 As you mentioned, consistency matters. It shouldn't matter whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. Yeah, it shouldn't matter. If you're confused, you've got to go. If confused, if you're accused, confused, sorry, if you're accused, according to Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez, you've got to go. And if you're accused of anything, you've got to go.
Starting point is 00:22:03 that's cancel culture that's the witch hunt accusation that menendez you got to go bob second time now the first time menendez uh with charge with receiving gifts and 660,000 in campaign contributions from a guy in florida was a mistrial and the government didn't retry so bob got off stayed in the Senate. Bob says he's going to run again. Look, Robert Menendez, the worst. I'm not sticking up for him. The worst. But I'm not convicting him without a trial. 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,
Starting point is 00:23:04 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, back to Gavin Newsome. So he vetoes a bill in California that would require a judge in child custody matters to take an account the child's gender identity
Starting point is 00:23:39 and how the parents see that. It's insane. Newsom knows that parents, particularly independent and Republican parents, are had it with getting this trans business shoved down their children's throats and now bringing it into divorce court. So Newsom vetoes the bill. Again, you're never going to hear this anywhere else because Newsom knows if he wants to run for president, he can't stick up for this. All right, you know, in Virginia, okay, Yonkin, the governor got elected on this. And it's going to be a campaign issue in 24. So there is a new book called Hide Your children, exposing the Marxists behind the attack on America's Kids. The author is Liz Wheeler. You may see her on the first TV, is a primetime show, and she joins us now.
Starting point is 00:24:41 So, Marxists, give me the connection between Nakami's and the indoctrination of children. Hi, Bill. Thanks so much for having me on the show today. You know, this is one of the most common questions that I've been getting about my book. It's why I put the word Marxist in the title because I think as Republicans, as conservatives, it's very important that we acknowledge the reality of the political enemy that we're facing because if we don't, then we won't fight well against them. We'll lose. I don't want to lose. I don't think anybody watching your program wants to lose. So the connection is this. A lot of people, when they think of Marxism, think of Karl Marx, you know, the Communist Manifesto, this economic Marxism, where the working class is supposed
Starting point is 00:25:30 to be discontented with capitalism. They're supposed to overthrow the ruling class and thus usher in communism or Marxism. People say, well, is that what you're talking about, Liz? Is that what's in this book? Well, Bill, let me tell you, when I dived into the research for this book, what I found is that Karl Marx's version of Marxism kind of went out of fashion. He had envisioned a global Marxist revolution. And it didn't happen. It never really came to fruition. But then we have an Italian Marxist by the name of Antonio Gromsey, who's actually the co-founder of the Italian Communist Party. He was in prison in fascist Italy and he was studying Marxism. And he began to recognize that where there had been successful Marxist revolutions, it wasn't because the
Starting point is 00:26:15 working class was economically discontented. It was because the Marxist, had undermined, subverted, captured the civil institutions, which means the cultural institutions, on which the working class rely. And Gramsci named among others the media, the education system, religion, the law, and the nuclear family. So if you look at what's happening in our country today, we're seeing all of these things. The media is captured. The education system is just indoctrination. Sadly, religious institutions have been corrupted. The law, I mean, Black Lives Matters doing their best to destroy that. and the nuclear family is under constant assault.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Once you see this connection, even if it's to an idea that came from men who lived long before we did, it's hard to unsee it because we're watching it play out before our very eyes. Okay. There are radical teachers and there are activists in public schools, not too many in private schools, which is why I sent my kids to private school. They're there, but they're not the majority. Okay, the majority of public school teachers and administrators are good decent.
Starting point is 00:27:20 and human beings who don't want Marxism or anything else like that imposed on the children. So I'm not sure how big a problem the Marx's connection to try to get the children to think a certain way is. How big a problem to you is it? Well, let me explain it this way. So the word woke or the idea of wokeness, we're pretty familiar with that. We've said it a lot. We've heard it a lot in the last year. A lot of conservatives aren't necessarily able to define it. They recognize it like, oh, critical race theory, that's woke, or trans ideology, that's woke. But they don't know its origin. So what I did in this book is I traced the origin of the word woke back to a Brazilian Marxist by the name of Paulo Freire, who contended that in the education system, when teachers impart
Starting point is 00:28:11 knowledge, they're not imparting reality or truth or fact. They are instead just indoctrinating children with the prevailing political narrative. So Friere proposed this idea that instead of teaching children facts and knowledge, we instead teach them how to think, how to view the world. And we call this critical consciousness. Liz. No, yes. Listen to this because it's right in our classrooms. Yes, it exists, particularly in places like San Francisco and L.A. and New York City where the teachers' unions, all of which are far left progressive, it exists. But I'm not sure how big a problem it is. Now, DeSantis took care of it in Florida by passing laws that you couldn't have certain materials presented to children at certain ages, which I support that law. Okay? But I'm not sure,
Starting point is 00:29:10 I'm not undermining your book. The research is fascinating about how the whole thing came about. I think the media is much more of a danger in this area than the school system is. Would I be wrong? I think so with all due respect, because when I described this critical consciousness that Paulo Freer was talking about, he was talking about teaching children to view the world through a Marxist worldview, to put people in a demographic either as an oppressor or as oppressed. And this worldview, this critical consciousness, it exists in every single classroom in our country under the heading of social emotional learning. I'm sure you've heard about it.
Starting point is 00:29:49 It's disguised as just being values education, but it's teaching children to view the world through the lens of an oppressor or oppressed. I think that's incredibly dangerous. We're seeing the fruits of that. We see how many young people have turned against America, have turned against white people, are embracing critical race theory, the trans ideology even. This kind of grooming that happens in schools is effective. You think it's all over that. You think it's coming from if we see the number of children, You think it's in North Dakota. You think it's all over the place that this wave of woke, and I agree with you, that's the strategy to make the kid into a victim, particularly minority children.
Starting point is 00:30:29 You're a victim. Don't worry about if you fail, you don't do anything because it's society that makes you, you know, oppressed. I get it. But I'm not so sure, and I'm going to give you the last word on it, that this is the prevailing wisdom outside of the big. urban centers last word well listen I think I had a similar experience to a lot of parents my daughter's two and a half years old and when she was born my husband and I were discussing where to send her to school I'm a big proponent of homeschooling he wanted to send her to the local public school and I said you
Starting point is 00:31:02 know what I don't think we should do that I think there's a lot of poison there in there and he said not in our neighborhood though not in our local community public school and I think that one of the things that happened during COVID is a lot of parents my husband included had their eyes opened to the fact that, you know what, this is in our neighborhood because it's embedded into curriculum that teachers, even if the teachers don't adhere to this ideology or don't understand what they're propagating, they are required to teach these students. It's part of national standards, it's part of state standards. And interesting. It's every. I haven't seen the
Starting point is 00:31:34 textbooks for a while, but I'm going to go look into that. So the book is Liz Wheeler, hide your children, exposing to Marxists behind the attack on America's kids. Liz, thanks very much. We'll see you on the first, okay? Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it. All right. Sure. Smart life. One of the keys to a happy life is learning and having fun at the same time. That has been a key to my life, all right? So I acquire a tremendous amount of knowledge, but it's fun. And that's why I wrote the killing series. And tomorrow, killing the witches, as we mentioned, comes into the marketplace.
Starting point is 00:32:16 This is the 13th killing book, the most successful nonfiction book series in history of all time. Nobody stopped it, 19 million copies of my books in print. And it comes out, it's really three books in one. And it's fun to read, tremendous Halloween book, obviously. Come back to me. So there's three books, all right? The first one is we put you on the Mayflower. You take the 66-day voyage from England to Cape Cod, all right?
Starting point is 00:32:50 Where do you see what happened on the Mayflower? Then we plunk you down in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where there's all kinds of chaos. And some of the people, all of whom are Puritans, religious fanatics, move up north. It wasn't any Boston yet. To sail them. Okay, land is free. They get a settlement there, and they are theologically insane. So after a few decades, the witch stuff begins.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And we go right through it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And it's grizzly. Okay? They're just be foreworn. It's not for 10 and 11-year-old kids. Say 13, 14, if they're bright. Then young Benjamin Franklin, a teenager in Boston, gets onto this witch stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:46 We show you how, we take you through, and it stays with him his whole life. And he brings it into Philadelphia where they're forging the Constitution. Where do you see the brawl between Patrick Henry, who wanted America to be a theocracy, Christian nation and Franklin and Jefferson and Madison. It's a brawl. And the last part of the book is Modern Times. Demon possession, because that's what witchcraft is all about. Demon possession.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Where do you see what happened on the movie set of The Exorcist? Oh my God. Oh, pardon a pun. So, and then I get into the witch hunts, the cancel culture in the afterword of the book. So I can guarantee you you will learn an enormous amount, but it's fun at the same time. It's going to be hard to put it down. It comes out tomorrow, we hope you'll consider.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Stay in History, September 25th, 1789, first United States Congress, the first Congress that already beaten, Great Britain, adopts 12 amendments which form the Bill of Rights. So the top five were Congress should make no law respecting the establishment of religion, just what I was talking about, well-regulated militia has to happen, so all citizens have the right to be armed, right of the people to be secure in their homes, can't kick the door in without a warrant, and all criminal prosecutions got to have a fair trial. Okay. And finally, the powers not regulated to the federal government are the purview of the states. That was the Roe v. Wade thing. So that happened. Let's see, 254 years ago today.
Starting point is 00:35:47 All right, lively mail segment and a final thought about my adventure this weekend with Billy Joel. Back in a moment. Okay, let's go to the mail. We got Richard Middleman, Pasadena, California. Bill isn't the invasion at the border caused by Biden's refusal to enforce immigration laws. Wouldn't that be enough to impeach him? Yes, the invasion is on Biden's policies. You could impeach him for not enforcing immigration law, but it would never lead to a conviction in the Senate, which you could do it. Glenda Brown, Junction City, Oregon can Congress refuse to fund the government until the border is shut
Starting point is 00:36:28 down. Next time around, budget has already been passed next time around. They could do it if Republicans gain control. But if there's a Republican president, he or she, Nikki Haley, I'm going to reverse that policy. I'm positive. Gary Holt, Anchorage, Alaska. I mostly agree with your column this week, Sunday column, except the last time I checked the punishment you proposed for gun crimes is already on the books. No, it's not. Each state has its own gun laws. So Virginia is a lot different than New York. So I propose all gun crimes be federalized by kidnapping because the gun situation is a threat to public safety everywhere. Emil Domus, the Villages, Florida.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I fully understand why Donald Trump does not attend the debates. However, I believe the majority of American voters want to see him at the debates. He's so far ahead, it would be foolish, in my opinion. I've gone over it, Emil. I mean, I think you're right. Bates would be libelier if Trump were there. John Schmule, Warren, Michigan. Bill, what a pleasure of surprise I had today, Saturday for John.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I brought in my mail, and there was your new book, Killing the Witches, three days before the official release date. I'm a premium member, and that's why you got it early. Premium and concierge members of Bill O'Reilly.com, get everything early. And if you become one, you get Killing the Witches free. All right, but, you know, membership has benefits here. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town. Still getting a lot of letters without name in town and some good ones I want to use.
Starting point is 00:38:30 You've got to throw your name in town in there. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. All right, fall madness underway, killing the legends, killing the killer, any mug of your choice, $4295, stock up on this and you got all your Christmas and holiday gift giving. You get it done for a fraction of the cost. And people want this stuff. And then we have, I'm on Twitter. and that brings me to Tucker Carlson.
Starting point is 00:38:58 So I'm going to Manhattan right after the taping, and we're going to sit down. Carlson's going to interview me, but you know what a big mouth I am. So I'll probably be interviewing him, too. It'll be back and forth, and he's doing it for X Twitter. So tomorrow, I'll be able to tell you where you can see this, and I'll tell you how it goes. I don't know where it's going. I mean, it's about killing the witches. I've done the book.
Starting point is 00:39:22 We've got to ask me some questions about that. But it should be, I have no idea how it's going to come out. Looking forward to it, though. Word of the day, do not be a plunker, and I'm sure Tucker's not going to be a plonker. P-L-O-N-K-E-R, back with a final thought a moment. All right, here is the final thought of the day. So I go up to Boston, I told you I was going, and I didn't fly. Thank God, it was a tsunami here because of Orphelia down in North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:39:52 It was just a non-stop arena wind here. So I drove up, and I had stuff to do with Cambridge, Massachusetts, right across at Charles River from Boston. And then, you know, I saw some friends and all that. And then on Saturday I went down to Foxborough with the Patriots play to see the Billy Joel Stevie Nix concert. All right? So I'm a big fan of both Joel and Stevie.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And I've known Billy Joel since I'm 14 years old. We look a little bit different now than we did when we met when we were 14 in our Levitown neighborhood. And it was really good to see him. It really was. Now, he had a hip replacement, but he's really looking good now. We had a few laughs backstage, and some of his band members went to the same high school. We had a lot in common. But the most important thing I can tell you is that in their mid-70s, both Billy Joel and Stevie Nix are fantastic performers.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I mean, it's incredible how good they both are. And I have to give props to the New England crowd. They sat there in that stadium, and it was pouring. Now, it was a big covered stage, okay, and me, I'm in a suite, so I'm not getting rained on. I felt guilty. You know, I'm sitting there, I'm dry, and these people, they paid all this money to see them, and it was worth the ticket price. I mean, as I said, I mean, to see these vintage performers, and Beach Boys are the same way.
Starting point is 00:41:40 I mean, you know, I think what is love? Close to 80 now? And they're still popping it out. But Joel himself, about an hour 45, he didn't miss a note. And, you know, I'm pretty, I've been in a lot of shows. I know when you're getting phoned in and when you're not. And both of them, and they did a duet of Tom Petty, stopped dragging my heart around.
Starting point is 00:42:09 It was, I mean, it was really good. So anyway, it was very, and then I drove back to the island, Long Island, at two in the morning because I didn't want to face the traffic on Sunday in the rain that you would have to. But it was good. It was good. Everybody was nice, and it was good to see everybody in New England. I was surprised about how many Harvard students know me.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I'm posing for pictures. I've done this. Aren't you guys study? What are you doing? What are you doing? for watching and listening to the no spin news. Please consider witches, and we will see you tomorrow.
