Hey Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, November 4th,
2024, stand up for your country and go vote for your country.
Well, it's almost over, at least the voting part.
And I'm holding my prediction that Trump will win.
I don't know how by how much or anything of that, but, and I could be wrong.
I'm not betting on it, by the way, but that's my prediction based upon our data.
And if you are premium or concierge members to Bill O'Reilly.com, you can get all of that data in a transcript form.
Just remember, that's one of the big advantages.
Now, tonight at 9 Eastern, for you guys, premium and concierge members, and I'm not leaving everybody out.
but we obviously have perks for people who support us, our main supporters.
I'm going to do a live Q&A at 9.
I'm wedging it in.
I got a big, big night with all kinds of stuff we'll tell you about at the end of the program.
But from 9 to about 10 minutes to 10, maybe even a little longer, I'll be live answering your questions,
concierge and premium members on Bill O'Reilly.com about the election.
okay so we will see you then the talking points memo is the last polling we're going to analyze four
polls for you two that lean trump to harris that's fair and then on wednesday we'll tell you who was good
and who was bad in the polling world so this is all data that's no opinion in this let's begin with
atlas they're out of brazil i interviewed the CEO a few weeks ago we believe that they are very
accurate based upon what happened four years ago when they were right on it okay their latest poll
as a trump at 496 and harris at 482 about a percentage and a half point between them so atlas believes
that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States here are the swing states
uh Atlas has got Trump up in North Carolina I believe that
Trump will take North Carolina. Atlas got him winning in Georgia. I believe Georgia will go for Trump.
Arizona, I believe Arizona will go for Trump. Nevada, you're seeing it there. I don't know about Nevada.
Nevada is a strange place because of Harris County, not Harris County, Clark County, thank you,
which dominates the state. So I'm not going to make a prediction there. Wisconsin, I think, will go to Harris,
even though Atlas says Trump is leading.
Atlas also has Trump leading in Michigan,
okay, by a point in a half.
Don't know, but I would have to say that Michigan
is going to go to Trump.
Pennsylvania, same situation as Michigan, razor-close,
but I think that, you know, Philadelphia scares me.
So I think Harris might take Pennsylvania.
or vice versa.
I don't think either Trump or Harris
are going to take both Michigan and Pennsylvania.
It's going to either one or the other.
All right, so obviously Atlas believes Trump is going to win.
Rasmussen leans Trump.
Okay, they have the national at Trump 49, Harris 46.
This is the biggest poll as far as Trump winning the national vote.
Swing states.
Rasmussen. He's got Trump up by two in Pennsylvania, two in Arizona, six in Georgia,
one in Michigan. No, he's got Harris winning in Michigan. Rasmussen got Harris winning in
Michigan by one. Nevada, Trump up by two, North Carolina, Trump up by three, Wisconsin, Trump
up by three. So only one swing state does Rassmussen.
mustn't give Harris. Now we go to the other side, the Harris leading polls, first morning
consult. It's got Harris winning 49 to 47. Now morning consult is a lift wing organization.
That doesn't come from me. It comes from media bias fact check. Okay. So they are left.
They have in the swing states, tie in Pennsylvania, tie in Arizona, Trump up by two in Georgia,
Harris up by one in Michigan, Trump up by two in North Carolina, Trump up and Harris tied in
in Wisconsin. They don't do Nevada. All right. And the last one is Marist polling. I went to Maris
college, loved it. Put football there, went third year abroad. Tremendous experience. The college
is now woke. Breaks my heart, but it's woke. So people come, and I'm the most famous
alumni by far of that school, and I tell them the truth. You want woke? Go there. All right,
NPR and PBS, do I have to say more? Their paymasters are ardently left wing. Here's what Maris
says. Harris 52, Trump 47 overall nationally. That's the biggest spread for Harris. Maris College.
Swing states. Got Harris up by two over Trump, Pennsylvania. Trump defeating Harris by one in
Arizona, Ty and Georgia, Harris beating Trump in Michigan, Trump beating Harris in North Carolina,
and Harris beating Trump in Wisconsin. They do not do Nevada either. Nevada is a real spooky
state as far as polling and even counting the votes. Tough, tough one. All right, so there you
have it. And, you know, all I can do is tell you my pretty
prediction was based on voter registration in the swing states going into Republican precincts.
I think that's been an underreported story that not only in a presidential race but in
the senatorial races will mean a lot and that's a memo.
All right, the schedules Joe Biden called up some people today thanking them for something.
don't know really what.
Harris says all Pennsylvania all the time, the day before the vote.
She needs it, and she's running a little bit behind, so she's there in the common wall.
Trump has got a North Carolina rally.
He's got a Redding, Pennsylvania rally, got a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rally, and Grand Rapids, Michigan rally.
You got four in three states.
Can't say the guy doesn't work hard, right?
All right. Dishonest election coverage. It's legion. But there's one I want to show you how blatantly
dishonest the television media has been. All right. So CNN is better than it used to be.
The new CEO over there knows that that network is on the skids. And he's knocked out the Jeff Zucker far left.
hate Trump. They still hate Trump, but they don't hate him as much. Okay? All right. Now,
they introduce, on Wednesday of last week, a woman named Margaret Hoover as a Republican strategist.
The problem is Margaret Hoover doesn't work for any Republicans at all. She works for PBS,
which is about as far away from the Republican Party as you can get.
Yet CNN bills her as a Republican strategist.
Number one, dishonesty.
Number two, here's what she said.
Go.
And they're probably seeing the same things that you guys are talking about,
which is that there is real groundswell in the early vote.
There is real enthusiasm, which is hard to measure.
I have heard from Republicans that there is concern at the Trump campaign,
amongst the operatives that actually really do know the political wherewithal
that the turnout and enthusiasm numbers are aware they need to do.
Okay, I don't believe that at all.
I'm glad I don't believe what she said.
And I think I could prove it in a moment, but I got something else.
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 stock.

Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast.
finding you to turn 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 sides, 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.
Now, Iowa, you might have heard, there's a poll out by the Des Moines Register that says that
Harris is up by three over Trump in Iowa. shocking. Oh, look at this. Look at this. I think
the polls bogus. And there was another poll put out simultaneously by Emerson College in Boston
about Iowa voters. Now, Emerson's poll isn't that great because I'm always going to tell you
the truth. But Emerson's poll has trumped up by 10 in Iowa, whereas the Des Moines Register poll
has trump up by three. That's a 13-point swing. Somebody's desperately wrong. I'm putting my
money on Emerson here. And if I'm wrong, on Wednesday, I will tell you that. But the
reportage was all about the Des Moines Register poll. You didn't hear a word about Emerson.
And it came out at the same time.
That's how dishonest the television media is.
So, journalist, John McLaughlin, he works for Donald Trump.
He polls for the president and for Republicans, and he is in upstate New York.
Okay, Margaret Hoover.
She says Republicans like you are very worried about this.
Did you tell Margaret Hoover you were worried?
Do you know anybody polling for Donald Trump that might have told her that?
No, but, you know, her husband's running for Congress in New York One.
He's probably going to lose tomorrow.
Yeah, but that doesn't have anything to do with it.
This guy's name is George Avlon.
He used to work for CNN.
He's a far-left grifter, in my opinion, okay?
But that doesn't have any to do with it.
Hoover went on and said, oh, the Republicans are telling me.
Those in the no.
You're in the know.
You are the no guy.
You're the pollster.
Okay?
Now, I want to get this clear.
Did you tell Hoover or anyone that you were nervous about this election?
No, the early voting is going very well.
It's precisely the opposite of what she said.
I'm just saying she's just saying that's all I want.
That's all I want.
So the reason I'm doing this is to show the blatant
dishonesty that is going around. Okay. So, you want to make a prediction or you want to put
things in a perspective? What do you want to do? I'm letting you have the floor. I'm working my
butt off to prove your prediction right because the early voting, I mean, the early voting in
states like Arizona and North Carolina for the first time in history and also in Nevada or North
Carolina, Arizona. Those states, Republicans have come out heavier than the Democrats. It was
first time in history by point. Republicans did that in North Carolina. So, and most of the votes are
cast in those states. Now, you still have Michigan and Wisconsin where they still have a heavy
mail-in ballot that's favored to the Democrats, but far less than it was four years ago, and the same
in Pennsylvania. So it's kind of cliche, but if we have a good turnout tomorrow, we're going to
win this. And Donald Trump will win, when, you know, will be the president. All right. So how,
how confident are you? I think the heavy turnout on the Trump end is a lock. Because the
mega people and, you know, it's personal now. I don't think that minority voters who might
ordinarily go for Harris are going to turn out as much as they did four years ago. But the
Trump people certainly mobilize. So let's assume that happens. 90%
sure, 80% sure, where are?
Well, I think tomorrow if that happens, it's very high certainty.
But what I'm saying to you is, you're exactly right.
The Trump people are more mobilized.
Yeah.
And the difference is the lack of enthusiasm for Harris.
If you're an undecided voter tomorrow, go to the supermarket before you vote.
It's like...
Right.
And you don't have to vote for president.
This is in both situations.
Because the last poll said 60%,
and this is my message of the day on Bill.
message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com today. 60% of votes don't like either of them.
So you don't have to vote for either of them. Just vote down a ticket.
Right. Now, you're not. You have to vote. You have to vote. You got to vote for the president.
Yeah. If you're a patriot or you love your country, you got to show up, but you don't have to vote
if you don't like either of them. Now, you don't do specific down market senatorial polling,
do you? Yes. We've been polling for Dave McCormick and for Carrie Lake, my brother,
as my partner, and the firm's polled for them.
Okay. So if Harris wins, what are the odds that the Republicans control the Senate,
take the Senate?
The Republicans are going to take the Senate because West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio
are already going a Republican.
Jared Brown's going to lose in Ohio? You're sure about that?
Pretty sure, yes. And if Donald Trump wins, as we should,
should if there's a good turnout tomorrow. We will bring in more senators, whether it's Dave
McCormick, who's running very well in Pennsylvania. You've got Eric Hubdy in Wisconsin,
and you've got Mike Rogers in Michigan. And the Democrats were the ones a couple of weeks ago
leaking the polls that Trump was ahead in those states. Kamala Harris spent all day yesterday
in Michigan because she's worried about losing Michigan. So, and then if Trump wins decisively
in Nevada and in Arizona, he could bring in Carrie.
Lake and also Sam Brown. So it's kind of like a Ronald Reagan. Those of us who were old enough
to remember, 1980, when we voted for Reagan, got to vote for Aldamato, for Center. We got to vote
for, you know, they brought Reagan. Yeah, but they call them coat tails. Final question for you.
The mantra, I follow the media closer than anybody follows the media, I think, because I understand
who's running it. I know most of these people.
people. I know what they're doing. Okay. So the close in the television media, and I want to get
your personal feeling on that, is that Kamala Harris's late-minute surge. You can just put on any
network news, and that's what you saw. Even the Wall Street Journal, which the editorial page
leans right, but the news pages lean left. You know what they had on page two today?
The proud boys are supporting Donald Trump.
What are there, nine proud boys in this country?
I don't know any proud boy.
I don't know where they are, couldn't find them.
But there's a big headline, proud boys, and they're fascists, these guys.
Okay, that was what the Wall Street Journal put at the top of their news cycle.
So you can see, you know, how they're trying to manipulate the vote.
Number one, does any of that matter?
And number two, does it offend you, John McLaughlin?
Yes, it's offensive, you know, being called fascists, being a cold garbage.
That's offensive.
And it motivates our voters to get out.
You know, a week ago, I spoke to President Trump.
And I said to him, you know, at this point, Mitt Romney was ahead by a point.
And then he ignored New York and New Jersey when Hurricane Sandy hit.
And he lost his lead on Sunday Monday night to Obama and the polls by a point.
And you have to lose them by four points.
And Donald Trump's line to me was, I'm not Mitt Romney.
He is busting his butt.
As you know, there's no doubt.
There's been more states and more rallies than Harris.
And I'm motivated.
And we disregard the radical press because the liberal press has no credibility.
The media research center said they have 85% negative coverage of Trump
and 79% positive coverage of Harris.
So.
Yeah, it's built in.
And I hope there will be exit polling questions on it.
All right, John, we really appreciate it.
We'll get you back next week, I hope, for our post-mortem.
And it's very kind of you, as I said, to help us out all throughout this election.
Thank you.
We got the Republican side.
Let's get the Democrat side and bring in Doug Schoen, who is a Democrat political strategist.
A legitimate one, not like Ms. Hoover, who is masquerading.
Shone actually does work for some Democrats.
He joins us now from Miami, Florida.
You heard McLaughlin and me bloviating.
I was bloviating.
McLaughlin was brilliant, as always.
Where do you see this going tomorrow?
I see it going narrowly to Donald Trump.
I look at all the data, the same data you and John reviewed.
And I think basically the blue wall tilts with the exception of Pennsylvania.
to Harris, the Sunbelt states, I think, tilt, if not go, Donald Trump.
And if I'm correct, that means that you've got four to two with Pennsylvania a toss-up.
And that's been holding steady or moving to Trump.
But bottom line, Bill, I've seen this election as one that was Donald Trump's 10 days ago.
He did not close as well as he could have, and I thought Kamala Harris closed as well as a Democrat, under her circumstances, but I still see a narrow Trump victory.
So you think Trump is going to win Pennsylvania, that'll put him over the top?
Precisely, yes.
Okay. When you say Trump didn't close, is it's Trump's fault, or was it the media really rolling out the Liz Cheney nonsense and, you know, everything they could contrive?
Was that part of it or was it really Trump didn't do what he should have done?
Trump didn't do what he should have done.
He made some unforced errors and rest assured the media magnified every misstep and blew it way out of proportion.
How big was the comedian at Madison Square Garden with the Puerto Rican stuff?
That was huge because it broke Trump's momentum.
He was going into that rally as a clear.
favorite. Everything was going his way. That froze everything. And we had a two-day dialogue
of just about that comedian and his set and the whole thing. But did Trump turn that to his
advantage by the Biden garbage remark? It certainly truncated the negativity, stop the bleeding.
And so I give a qualified yes to that. But in politics,
unforced errors are the greatest sin of all.
What could have Trump have done that he did not do?
Well, first, if I was organizing that rally, I would have had a cast of one, Donald Trump
speak. Second, I would have made it very clear that he is looking for a better and new
future for America and been more optimistic and inclusive in his rhetoric.
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, 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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
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.
That being said, the real issue to me, Bill, is that Americans are very angry. They don't like
Joe Biden. They don't like his policies. They feel that they are less well off than they were.
and bottom line they want change, the change they want is for the Trump policies.
They're just not sure they want Trump, the man.
Okay.
Anything else that I brag, and I'm an idiot for doing it, but I do it because I don't know why I do it.
I need to see a therapist.
But I say if I were in charge of the Trump campaign, he'd be up by 10.
I'm sure he would.
Because I would have had him be more human.
Yes.
I wouldn't have played down, though, the border and the economy and the overseas chaos.
I would have heightened that.
I would have done it worse than he did.
But I also would have had him basically level.
Like NBC, and we're going to cover this in a moment, owes him a minute and a half after
that kissy face with Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live.
So the federal government got involved.
So you can't do that NBC.
you've got to give Trump the same minute and a half to say whatever he wants.
We can't figure out if Trump campaign isn't even going to use that opportunity,
which I definitely would have tonight on the Lester Holt program.
If I were Trump, I would go, Lester, as you sit there and smile,
I got 90 seconds to say, whatever I want.
That's what I would have done, okay?
And that would have been a huge story going into the vote tomorrow, right?
Bill, I couldn't agree with you more.
I'm startled to hear that they have not done that.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think Trump got his message out, just for the, we have obviously some Trump supporters watch this broadcast very closely.
It's not for a lack of message.
He got his message out, but it's always been with him the demeanor factor,
particularly with women.
And you believe that Trump will override that because of the issues.
Is that correct?
I do.
This is an issue agenda like 1980, which John McLaughlin alluded to, where people are enraged
with the impact of the Biden-Harris policies.
If this election was a referendum on those policies and those policies alone, Trump would
win by 10 or more.
I agree with you.
Trump, when he's humanized, and you know him better than I do, but when he's humanized,
he can be a warm, approachable guy.
We didn't see much of that Trump in this election.
Okay, Doug, we appreciate it, as always.
Now you have the two best political analysts, in my opinion.
McLaughlin is shown back to back, and we'll catch up with you, I owe your dinner.
We'll catch up with you.
I look forward, Bill.
Thank you for the pleasure.
for the pleasure and privilege of being on with you.
All right, Doug, thank you.
Okay, back to the press.
The Associated Press is a wire service.
That means it writes articles,
and the articles go out to all the small newspapers
and some large ones across the country and the world.
It has 44 million views, the Associated Press, every month.
44 million.
That's even more than I do.
Okay.
It's run by a woman named Daisy Verazingham, Verazingham, okay?
She's the CEO.
It's the first person of color and the first person from outside the United States
to lead the Associated Press, and it's 175-year-old history.
She is a British businesswoman.
She's also an ardent liberal, all right?
who's running the largest news service in the world.
I'm just going to give you four headlines, and you can tell me.
All right?
That's my number one.
Harris and Beyonce ignite a Houston rally with a double-ballard argument against Trump.
Okay, that was a headline.
Second headline.
Trump says his New York rally marked by crude and racist insults was an
absolute love fest. This is a headline. That's an editorial, that's an editorial opinion in their
news headline. Inside the Weave, how Donald Trump's rhetoric has grown darker and windier.
And the final one, Trump hurls a string of insults at Harris, including lazy, a racist
trope against black people. So if you call anyone lazy, your urchins, anybody else, it's a racist
trope. Doesn't get worse than that. It doesn't. This is the Associated Press supposed to be
objective. It's like, I love this. Trump has a string of insults in Harris.
Wasn't there a string of insults coming back at Trump from Harris? I think there was?
Somehow the AP missed that. Fire. Television. Sunday news shows.
I'm going to give you pro and con.
Okay.
Now, these are committed people, not should be committed to asylums.
They're committed to their political beliefs.
Let's go with the anti-Trump people first.
Go.
He continues to spew all of these misinformation and lies about election, fraudulent election.
Obviously, this isn't one his campaign wants him talking about at the end.
You know, everything Trumpism infects becomes infested.
You look at his takeover, the Republican Party.
We thought at some point the Republican Party would be able to withstand him and stand up to him.
That is not happening.
That was Vice President Harris in East Lansing, Michigan, just moments ago,
driving home her closing message of unity and patriotism.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's closing message continues to be divisive, violent rhetoric,
like this remark in North Carolina today.
has rebooted the Obama coalition.
She's getting younger voters.
She's getting voters of color to turn out for her in big numbers.
Okay.
I don't know how any human being could listen to any of that.
And on the other side as well.
Roll it.
Combalt says, if you're about freedom, justice, and compassion,
you're going to vote for her?
Like compassion for who?
For Americans who are the victims of crimes?
Because we've got open jails, open borders.
They've opened our pocketbook.
Who do they have compassion for everybody but the working taxpaying American?
Hockel and Harris are doing nothing good for the American people post-election.
If this were a marriage, instead of trying to save it, they're trying to take out the spouse.
That is the America that Kamala Harris created and that the elites on the trail with her are celebrating tonight.
As they all show, it's an utter disregard.
It's a callous disregard for the suffering of their fellow Americans.
You know, Trump, he's not a perfect man.
He is not the perfect candidate.
But right now, he is our only hope to save this nation.
Now, there's nothing wrong with partisan analysis.
All right?
I've done it on occasion.
I've gotten away from it.
And I'm much more fact-based now than I was, say, 15.
years ago. But when I covered the Obama McCain and Obama Romney races, I shifted then,
okay, into, I saw the media disintegrating and I go, somebody's got to step in here
and at least provide a factual context, not I hate the left or I hate the right. And the
audience for that ideological stuff is dropping quickly, all right? It's vanishing. If you want
ideology, it's easy to get it on social media. And so you don't have to sit through an hour
of getting hammered over the head with it. There's nothing wrong in doing it. All the people
that I showed you are professional. And they say what I guess they
believe, although some are charlatans, but they are entitled to hold that belief system.
I'm not criticizing any specific belief.
I'm just telling you it's numbing for me.
Saturday Night Live.
Okay, so almost 90% of its audience are liberals.
That's where the show is evolved.
And they brought on Kamala Harris two days.
ago go. It is nice to see you Kamala. It is nice to see you Kamala and I'm just here to remind you
you got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.
I see what you did. They're like to a garbage truck, right?
I don't really laugh like that. Do I?
All right. So there's nothing wrong with that, by the way. And Harris, Kamala Harris herself, very relaxed when she's in front of the television camera. If she loses, she's got a future on TV if she wants it. So the FCC Federal Communications Commission, yes, it still exists. There is a fairness doctrine. If you are in a race, a political race,
a network can't give time to your opponent free unless it gives you time free.
Well, obviously, NBC gave free time to Kamala Harris, 90 seconds.
So the commissioner, Brendan Carr, said, hey, NBC, you got to give 90 seconds to Trump.
But as we talked about, we don't know if Trump's going to take it.
At this point, it's getting pretty close.
Okay.
smart life family it's frustrating sometimes I get letters all over the time but
it's at the top of my list for a smart life family is so important more
important than your job is more important than your hobbies it's more
important than this stupid cell phone so on all Souls Day Saturday
my cousin Dickie Melton passed away, the pride of the low country, Charleston, South Carolina.
Vietnam War hero, 81 years old.
Now, Dickie and I go back to when I was a little kid, even though he's a southerner.
He was up in Long Island when he was doing basic training at Fort Dix in New Jersey,
and we stayed in touch forever.
Dickie was a hero.
You saw the dog in a picture there.
He was a scout on the Vietnamese Cambodian border,
perhaps the most dangerous place on Earth in 1968.
It was him and the dog.
Sarge was the dog saying, put that picture up again.
And Dickie was alone,
trying to isolate where the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese regulars
were infiltrating down.
the Cochee Man Trail were so that the Americans could attack them.
Dickie, bravest guy, I mean, you can't get more brave than that.
You can't.
Love his country.
Okay?
Love his family.
And I recognize very early that he was a special guy.
