Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, June 21st, 2020, stand up for your country. First day of summer, longest day of the year, here in the Northeast, 15 hours of sunlight. that's nice. I mean, for recreation, but stay out of the sun, please. I got to get another thing taken off me in July. I don't know. I'm going to bore you with it. Before I do that minor operation, I'll do a smart life on it, but no, the sun, no. You've got to be very, very careful about that, just looking out for you. But I want you guys to enjoy the summer. I hope you have some fun things planned. Reaction to the Hunter Biden guilty plea. That is the subject
Starting point is 00:01:00 of tonight's talking points memo. Okay, this is an easy deal for Hunter Biden. Everybody knows that. If I was the actor Wesley Snipes, remember Wesley? I think he was a vampire in some movies and he was in a basketball movie with Woody Arelson. So Wesley got three years in a federal penitentiary
Starting point is 00:01:24 for not paying his taxes. Pretty much, the exact same thing. that Hunter Biden did. And that's not equal justice for all. So the president, Hunter's father, is going to be confronted with this situation for the foreseeable future. Go. All right, very proud of my son. So what do you expect him to say? I mean, you know, he comes out of from the kid was a drug addict. Now he's trying not to be a drug addict, and he denies that he knew anything about his financial irregularities, which is hard for me to believe when the Biden family, it looks like now, derive $20 million from foreign concerns for doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:02:30 And the patriarch of the family doesn't know anything about that? That ring true to you? Anyway, that's not what we're dealing with now, but believe me, that is coming, and the Democratic Party is very worried about that. I'd have a long discussion with Sean Hannity on his program, radio program today about that. It's posted on bill o'Reilly.com if you would like to hear it. Okay, so we have an ongoing investigation of Hunter, according to the U.S. attorney in Delaware, but no one believes that. I don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:03:10 So the FBI is not going to investigate the Bidens aggressively. It's not. And there's nothing I can do or Hannity can do or anybody can do to force the FBI to do its job Under Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, the pipeline is Garland takes his orders from Biden, Christopher Ray, the FBI chief, takes his orders from Garland, and the order is lay off. That's simple. Lay off. They're not going to do anything.
Starting point is 00:03:44 But you do have two congressional committees, judiciary and oversight. Now, I gave some good advice to Comer and Jordan, the two Republicans heading those committees, about how to present what they know to be true. You've got to take partisan politics out of it. You have to. And you have to have charts and you have to have graphs and you have to be as simple as humanly possible so that the majority of Americans who don't follow the news, many of them don't care about their country, can understand if there is evidence, and I mean
Starting point is 00:04:29 solid evidence, that Joe Biden took money from foreign companies through his family. That's what this is all about. It's not about Hunter Biden. Nobody cares about Hunter Biden. He should have gotten six months in the federal pen. Yeah, he should have gotten that. But he's a president's son. So anyway, all of this is going to continue, and there's two reasons why, partisan politics,
Starting point is 00:04:57 you know big stakes in 24, you all know that, and payback, payback for Trump. All right, you're going to do that to our guy, and we're going to do this to your guy. But we the people have a right to know if Vice President Joe Biden took money under the table. And if you don't care about that or you're not investigating. that, that's corruption. And the FBI is corrupt. If Republicans win in 24, the whole Justice Department, all the upper echelons, all of them are going to be fired. There'll be a new FBI chief, there'll be a new attorney general, of course, and down the line. They're going. There isn't any two sides to the story. It's corrupt. And then we live in this country, and I know you're
Starting point is 00:05:46 frustrated, go, what can I do? You can't do anything but vote. And maybe, you know, I have discussions with your family and friends about this. But you're going to run into people who don't care if Joe Biden took money as vice president. There were people who didn't care that Richard Nixon obstructed justice and lied and did everything. There were 30% of people who didn't care. So that's where we are today. But it's very important for this country's future. If, and that's a big word, if, if Joe Biden took money,
Starting point is 00:06:19 we got to get to the bottom of that okay so after the Durham testimony there were the usual suspects I'm sorry after the Hunter Biden verdict I'm ahead of myself I'll get to Durham after the Hunter Biden verdict plea deal yesterday the usual suspect showed up go The real crime here is not what Hunter Biden's pleading guilty to you. You have someone who is engaged in corruption in selling influence to the highest echelons of the United States government. And that influence was sold to some of the most devious and dangerous people on planet Earth. And now they're getting him to plead guilty on tax charges. I think honestly, they probably went out of their way to charge them.
Starting point is 00:07:12 But no one. No one should lose sight of what this was all about. the sheer sadism of an attempt to wield a son's addiction against the father for political purposes. That's what has animated this entire enterprise from the beginning. I think that's the dumbest statement I've heard on television news in a year or two. That was so stupid it was almost beyond belief. It's Hunter Biden's addiction. They're using his addiction to try to get his father now. He got more than $10 million, you pinhead.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I mean, sometimes, and that's NBC News putting that out. Your jaw just goes, are you actually saying that on television? And that idiot has been doing that for years. Okay, let's get to the Biden. So Joe Biden flew back from California where he used our taxpayer money to campaign for his reelection. So he's coming back to meet with near Andrew Modi. You know who that is? Come on, you've got to know.
Starting point is 00:08:22 He's a president, the prime minister, I should say, of India. And he's having dinner with Modi. And this is important. Of course, nobody knows that it's important, but it is. India is very vital to contailing China. The Indians don't like the Chinese. They've been fighting for years over border, Kashmir, all kinds of stuff. up in the Himalayas.
Starting point is 00:08:47 The Indians don't trust the Chinese. They never have trusted the Chinese ever since Jenghis Khan, the Mongol warrior. The Indians never. Now we're doing big business with India, the USA, okay? Maybe too much so. But they're in our court because they're making money from us. We need India, the world's most populated country. There's a bulwark against China power in Asia.
Starting point is 00:09:13 we need the philippines we need japan we got to surround them south koreas and of course but i can't tell you how important a man modi is and americans have no idea who he is he is so important okay so john durham i got ahead of myself and i apologize for that but i'm anxious to report this story to you uh testified today in front of the house judiciary committee that's Jim Jordan, who's a chairperson. And it was that basically the FBI was corrupt in the way it put together crossfire hurricane, which was the investigation into whether the Trump campaign worked with Russia to subvert our election in 2016. All right. That's what it was. and Jordan, I'm sorry, and Durham came to the conclusion the FBI was corrupt.
Starting point is 00:10:18 All right, they did all kinds of terrible things, some of them illegal, to try to get Trump. The goal of the Bureau was to get Trump, take him out, using all kinds of underhanded methods. So the Democrats on that committee, of course, are going to not accept. that and even though it's true beyond any reasonable doubt they won't accept it and this was a fairly intense exchange go your reputation will be damaged as everybody's reputation who gets involved with Donald Trump is damaged he's damaged goods there's no good dealing with him because you will end up on the bottom of a pyre I yield back the balance of my time sure my
Starting point is 00:11:02 presume the gentleman's undecided on how he feels about the former president Gentlemen, the witness can respond. Yeah, my concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect, and my family, and my lord. And I'm perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir. That's a good answer. Steve Cohen is a radical leftist. Democrat from Tennessee, interestingly enough, but in a very liberal district, of course.
Starting point is 00:11:33 But he, Nadler, Schiff, they all did the same thing. It doesn't really matter. The FBI broke laws and was unethical and it got warrants they shouldn't have gotten and all of that. We don't care because we hate Trump. And our hatred of Trump overrides any respect for the law. And Cohen said it. Oh, you're throwing in with Trump. No, Durham just, after four years and all that money, this is what Durham found out.
Starting point is 00:12:06 the FBI committed crimes and did things that they shouldn't have done. When I say committed crimes, you cannot swear, okay, to a federal judge on a warrant basis that things are true when they're not true. And that's what they did. That's what the FBI did. They put false things in and document given to a judge to get a war. warrant to eavesdrop, to tap. It's a crime. And he did it. Now, you say, well, why are they going to be, how come that being held accountable? Who's going to hold them accountable?
Starting point is 00:12:47 Merrick Garland? I told Hannity today, if the Republicans win the presidency and at least one of the houses in 24, they could go back and prosecute some of these people on conspiracy charges. like Comey and McCabe and struck and other people within the Justice Department. Okay, that could happen. It should happen. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding 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,
Starting point is 00:13:38 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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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. There's more to this story than we heard today from John Durham. And so I've been casting around for a guy who has credibility and can explain to us more about this. His name is Jeff Clark. He is former assistant U.S. Attorney General under Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:56 You work for Attorney General Barr directly? Did you, Mr. Clark? Yes, I worked first for Jeff Sessions and then under Matt Whitaker and then under Barr. Okay, so you were there for the whole four years. So when you experienced this, you went through this, and you heard Durham and read his report, but you say there's more to this. What's the headline? The headline is, you know, I think if you're trying to do a hearing,
Starting point is 00:15:28 And I took, in your talking points memo, the fact that it's true, you know, you have to try to simplify things for the American people, especially people who aren't focused on politics, right? So inherently, what that simplification does is it turns into a binary, you know, a left-right paradigm kind of thing. So the Democrats are going to say Durham's got nothing, and, you know, that's why he only has one guilty plea, his two trials failed. this is all an attempt to distract from the indictment against Trump involving Mar-a-Lago and other legal problems of Trump. And the Republicans are going to cast Durham in the light of being the hero who uncovered all of the corruption at the Justice Department and the FBI. And I think that the second part of that story is an oversimplification. I think that Durham failed to interview a whole host of people. You mentioned, you know, Strach and McCabe.
Starting point is 00:16:22 There's also Igor Danchenko, Christopher Steele, pre-stap, Glenn Simpson, Mark Elias, Rodney Jaffe. None of these people were interviewed, which makes absolutely no sense. Also from the Durham report, it came out that there was an August 2016 meeting in the Oval Office with Barack Obama, Attorney General Lynch, Brennan, and several others, where it was clear that they were informed that Hillary Clinton was going to create an op to try. tried to paint Donald Trump falsely as being a tool of Russian intelligence, that he was essentially a Russian agent. Well, why weren't they called in? Why weren't they deposed by Durham? So, you know, to me, Bill, what I think this is, is it has opened more of the kimono. It has exposed more of the corruption than the Inspector General's report from Horowitz that first came out. So it's an improvement over that.
Starting point is 00:17:19 But it's not exposing the full depth and evils of the operation that was launched to either prevent Donald Trump from becoming president of the United States or if he were to be elected to consume him constantly with a drag on his presidency that sapped all of its strength and had him, you know, always on his back foot fighting against these fake allegations. Okay. Okay. If that's true, and it looks like what you said is, because it's a matter of record who was interviewed and who wasn't, then the next question is, was Durham in the tank? Did he purposely not try to uncover more corruption? I think it's a kind of sophisticated containment operation, Bill, with former Attorney General Barr. I mean, it's no coincidence to me that, that Barr basically indicated where he thought this was going to head, right? And so he painted this as a kind of soft coup against President Trump.
Starting point is 00:18:21 And I think the Durham report is entirely consistent with that. But, you know, at no point did I think he ever really was aggressive in saying that this would produce the fall of a lot of people from either the career ranks or some of the upper reaches of the department. Yeah, if you have Obama and those people, and you would think that Joe Biden would be in that pool as well if they do that Hillary Clinton was trying to use phony documents to impugn Trump. But how close a relationship did Barr have with Durham? When we think of independent councils, we think that these councils don't, you know, they're not taking their orders from a certain person. But how close were the two? Well, I think there's been a lot of reporting that comes out, has come out, that they were very close. The New York Times used to talk about how they would have whiskey, they traveled to Europe together, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:19:21 So I think that they were working very closely on exactly how this would come out. It's also not a coincidence to me that it took forever for this to be done, right? And given that long list, I gave you a people who weren't interviewed, then you really scratch your head about what was going on for all these years. doing if they weren't going after those principles. So then if that was all true, then the suspicion comes against Barr, that Barr didn't want the country to know the extent of this corruption. Do you believe that? Yes, precisely, Bill.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I think that's exactly where it points. And then I'll point you to Bill Barr's recent interview with Brett Baer, where he started out essentially with a pitch of, well, this was only ever really going to be a report when he was pressed a little bit, and not to firmly by Brett Baer, you know, he said, well, yeah, sure, if he came up with something, he could pursue prosecutions. But the real point of this was just to write a report. And, you know, I've seen it characterized, I've characterized it myself as, look, we already had one book report from Michael Harowitz, the IG. Did we need a second book report? I think the American people were looking for more accountability than that.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And they were. You're right. But why would Barr want to give cards? to his political enemies? Because I don't really think that they are his political enemies, Bill. I think that we're living essentially under a kind of uniparty apparatus in the United States, and I think that Barr is part of that unit party apparatus, right? There's a kind of, you know, red team blue team sort of thing going on of, you know, we're Republicans, we wear ours on our shirts versus D's, you know, going on. But they're largely cooperative on lots of major issues like a lot of the
Starting point is 00:21:07 you know, the massive intelligence state we have now in the wake of 9-11, of all the war mongering that's going on, as we see with a lot of the support for Ukraine. And, you know, I think Barr is in that mold. Bar is not a populist Republican who wants to see the deep state, the administrative state, really curtailed. I think he wants to see that continue. And I think he knows that Donald Trump is the existential threat to that system. Do you think that Trump knew that Barr did not have a motivation to get to the heart of the corruption? Absolutely, I don't. I think that Barr is very sophisticated, and I think that Barr wrote an audition memo about the Mueller investigation, indicating that, you know, the president couldn't possibly be obstructing justice. It was a very sophisticated and well-done memo. I think that on the strength of that memo, he was hired as the Attorney General to replace Jeff Sessions, whom Trump was very frustrated with, particularly because he recused from this
Starting point is 00:22:10 whole issue, right? I mean, the whole ball got rolling against Trump in a very serious way after he did get elected president because Jeff Sessions was convinced to recuse. I don't think he should have recused. He talked to the Russian ambassador yesterday. You were working for Barr. Did you know when you were working for him directly as an assistant attorney general that Barr was a swamp creature in the tank didn't want to uncover massive corruption? Did you know that? Well, I knew that he had been part of that kind of approach to the world in the Bush 41 administration where he had been Attorney General for the first time. And in particular, because of something, maybe I'll bring this to the attention of your viewers, that Barr had been
Starting point is 00:22:51 responsible actually for blocking Ken Starr from getting the Supreme Court seat that David Souter eventually got. So he linked up with, you know, the the folks in New Hampshire, you know, Governor Sununu, now his son's obviously risen in the political world. But Governor Sununu and Barr, they blocked Ken Starr, they got Souter in. Souter was a disaster. We would have seen Rowe and Casey reverse probably 20 years earlier, you know, if, and Casey would have gone a different way to reverse Rowe than the Dobbs decision from last year if that had not happened. I think Ken, so I knew that, but what I will say is I thought based on speeches that he was giving and my personal interactions with him that he had turned over a new page, that he realized that America was under threat from a lot of the current radical nature of the Democrat Party and their alliances or their own beliefs in Marxism or Maoist-like thinking. And, you know, so I had hoped that he had changed.
Starting point is 00:23:56 But I think what emerged as a result of the Durham investigation, putting a lid on things, and what emerged in terms of how he surprised President Trump and turned 180 degrees around on the problems with the 2020 election after originally going on TV and saying that mail-in ballots are a huge problem for fraud, I think then I saw that he really had never changed from his days in the 90s. Okay, and we're going to invite Mr. Barr on the program. He already turned me down once. but if he does come on, I mean, I'm going to obviously play some of your sound bites for him. But he's a smart guy, Barr. He is? And he's not going to admit to any of this. You know that. I know that.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Is there a smoking gun against Barr that if you were interrogating him, you would use? Last question. Maybe Bill, I'll noodle on that one. I think that the fact that he knifed Ken Stubes. over, you know, a Tempest in a teapot. That's a long, long time ago. It's a long time ago. In terms of right now, right, unless you've got someone who was in his true inner circle
Starting point is 00:25:03 like Durham to kind of admit what the game afoot was, I don't think we have a smoking gun. But I think there's a lot of triangulation that points to this conclusion, Bill. That's very, very interesting, Mr. Clark. We really appreciate it. Thank you for helping us out tonight. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got Exhibit. exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter,
Starting point is 00:25:28 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Okay, let's go to the missing sub, five human beings on a verge of death because their air is going to run out pretty soon and they're two miles below the ocean the authorities believe and anything can happen let's all pray that they get rescued and this is a very disturbing situation because at least two executives in this company all right were fired because they told the CEO of Ocean Gate that's the company with the submersible, that their safety mechanisms were not complete enough. So David Lockridge, the first whistleblower, who filed an actual complaint against Ocean Gate, was fired. And he said, look, the pressure, certified pressure in the vehicle, the submersible,
Starting point is 00:26:45 was not suited for 4,000 meters where they went. So that's what I think. think happened is that this submersible got so deep that the systems just shut down, all of them. And they'll find it, but I don't, the odds of survival about, you know, I think it's about 10 to 1, and it's a shame. It really is that these people have to go that way. Okay, Donald Trump Jr., this story has not been reported, but we will, of course. That's what we do here on the No Spin News. So he's on his way to Australia, invited there by a conservative group to give a series of speeches. And there is a group called change.org, a communist group, that is trying to prevent Don Jr. from entering Australia. And they've got 19,000 petition signatures to bar
Starting point is 00:27:44 him from entering that country. Now, I don't believe Australia is going to cave to that. but this is pretty funny. So this petition was started by a guy an Australian named Chris Erickson who describes himself as a doctor at the United Church of Bacon. So this is an anti-religion, anti-conservative, anti-Trump guy who is causing trouble for Don Jr. Okay. So Turning Point USA, that's a Charlie Kirk organization. They're sponsoring this trip. And again, Again, I don't think they're going to be able to block them. Now, we called Don Jr., he doesn't want to comment on it, which is pretty unusual. I don't know why, but we'll follow it for you.
Starting point is 00:28:32 But I think he'll go down under. Okay, money, your money. How are you doing with the money? I hope you're doing well. I hope you're saving some money. So the average American, according to the Census Bureau, the typical U.S. family, family of four, right? $71,000 in income a year. Okay, that's the typical.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Now, typical is a generalized word, but I think that's about accurate. But the same people that were polled by Gallup said they need $85,000 to get by, to break even. So they're down $14,000 in income. Okay, inflation is now 6%. Under Trump in his last year is 1.5%. So the money that people do have being eroded five times faster than it was under Trump. And that means a lot if you live in, you know, close to the margin. So $85,000 is what the typical family of four needs to not go into debt.
Starting point is 00:29:40 In California, they did a study of the homeless over the age of 50. Okay? No surprise that 50% of homeless over the age of 50 can't pay the rent or their bills or anything. Are you surprised? I'm not surprised. Most of these people, if you're age 50 and you don't have a place to live, you've got a problem. Look, people come here from Haiti, from Africa, from Asia, and they can earn money. driving a taxi, an Uber, being in a restaurant, a service industry, but if you're addicted
Starting point is 00:30:23 to hard drugs or you're an alcoholic, you can't hold a job, or if you're mentally ill. That's what this is. This homeless stuff is all about narcotics, alcohol, and about 20% mentally ill. That's it. In this system, is full employment here. You can make money. So this is all a bunch of gibberish, but I have to report it to you. The border.
Starting point is 00:30:54 So this year, this fiscal year, all right, has broken a record for encounters of people on the terror watch list. This is pretty frightening. 127 foreign nationals on the terror watch list, which means they are terrorists. They have participated in terror activities overseas. That's what it means. They were caught at the border trying to sneak in. 127. In 2019, you know what the number was?
Starting point is 00:31:29 Zero. That was Trump. Now, four years later, is 127. We're fact-based here. Those are the facts. Update on Bud Light. it's still going down, okay? For the week ending June 10th,
Starting point is 00:31:49 but light sales dropped 27% from the previous week. Whoa, I mean, this trans story, I thought would be maybe two weeks, but it looks like Bud Light is done. That's what it looks like to me. And other brands of Anheuser-Busch,
Starting point is 00:32:08 the parent company, they're declining too. Budwives of beer, down 10%, natural light. Down 2%. Mickelope Ultra down 2.5%. So, Anna is a Bush, you know, you've got to get those Clydesdales out there pretty fast. Smart life. Regular naps will make you smarter.
Starting point is 00:32:32 This from the Journal of Sleep Health. I love this. Okay. So they analyzed data from people age 40 to 69. It says, and it were 379,000 people study. That's a lot of folks. So if you take a nap in the late afternoon, okay, and then you wake up refreshed, you're smarter than a person who doesn't.
Starting point is 00:33:00 That's basically what this is. I believe this, because I take some naps, not every day. I mean, when the Tara dog calms down, I might do a half an hour. And I know it helps me. But the reason I do it is because of Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill, one of the smartest politicians of all time, took a nap every day. Now, you may assert that he did it because he was drinking heavily in the afternoon, which he did, and that can put you to sleep as alcohols are depressing. But Winston had to have that nap.
Starting point is 00:33:39 All right? There you go. Now, Joe Biden is rumored to take naps, but because we don't know anything about what he does in the White House, and I mean we know nothing about what he does, I can't confirm or do not. So Walt Disney has a new movie called Elemental, which features a non-binary character. What is non-binary? Well, the dictionary says a person who doesn't identify solely as a male or female. They don't know what they are, or they don't want to be either. Okay, so this, in the movie, Elemental, there is a featured player who's non-binary.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Okay. So the film is set in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic elements of nature, which means trees and whatever have human characteristics. Now, right away, am I sending my kid to a movie that is centered around anthropomorphic and non-bormorphic. and non-binary. No, I'm not sending my kid to that movie. Okay, I'm certainly not going to it. I like Davy Crockett. You know, I want to get back to the King of the Wild Frontier with Disney.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Give me Davy. Update Davy. Give me old Davy. I like Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. So this movie costs 200 million. Can you imagine? Because the animation and all that stuff to make. market and the opening weekend was 30 million that means a bomb nobody's going so in your face
Starting point is 00:35:18 disney you know this woke stuff and one of the kings of the woke stuff within the disney corporation resigned today probably because of this um but you deserve all the bad stuff that's happening to you and i'm proud to say i sold my disney stock a long time ago when this first started this trend first i i don't want anything to do with them This day in history, here's a very interesting story. June 21st, 2019, President Trump confirms that he called off an attack on Iran in response to Iran downing a U.S. drone. And he talked about it in the press. Go. Let me start right in. What happened last night?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Well, you had a situation that was very bad because the night before they shot down an unmanned drone. and the unmanned is a very big factor, the fact that there was not a person on it, a U.S. person on it or anybody. And that had an impact on me. I said, well, you know, we got a little problem. And I think they did it on purpose because they understand that they will be hit very hard if that were playing with a person in it. And I think they knew that there was nobody there. So we had a very, you know, modest but pretty heavy attack schedule. And this was a pre-plan that you had something that if they did something, you had something,
Starting point is 00:36:42 these were sort of ready-made plans to use it necessary. I have so many targets you wouldn't believe. Now, that was four years ago, and that's what got him in trouble in the Mar-a-Lago documents, that he was up in Bedminster, had a document about this attack that was called off, just classified, all right, and he's on tape, and that's the basis of what he's going through now. isn't that interesting happened four years ago today okay let's take a quick break and i mean quick back with mail and a final thought here is uh the mail uh we'll go to vincent concierge member vincent has direct access to me if you become a concierge member on bill o'reilly
Starting point is 00:37:25 dot com that will enhance your life it's an insurance policy for life okay vincent said bill i spent 10 years with the nypd 30 years with the vermont department of corrections During the 40 years, I never heard of a felony weapon charge getting a diversion program sentence. Thank you for that information, Vincent. Thank you. Ann Hill, Mountain Home, Arkansas. You said on the Northman News that Trump didn't turn over the documents when asked.
Starting point is 00:37:56 First, how do you know that they really asked for the documents? I'm skeptical of anything that government does. information, the request from the National Archives, was presented to the grand jury. That's what prosecutors do. They present evidence, their evidence, to the grand jury. You don't trust the government? A lot of people don't trust, but that's what happened. Jacqueline Banayos, Mission Viejo, California, does Hunter Biden have to pay back taxes? Yes. Is to pay back, and he'll be fine. As I write in a message of the day, I hope you read it today on bill o'Reilly.com. somebody else will pay the fine for them. That's how these Gryptors go.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Susan Line, Boswell, Downington, Pennsylvania. I'm confused as the plea deal regarding tax evasion, a weapons charge that has been in the news, me and Hunter Biden cannot be charged with any crimes. No. If he does, they can prove he did something else, they just can't charge them on those exact crimes again. It's called double jeopardy. Bill Forrest, Woodbridge, Virginia, your assessment of the Hunter Biden outcome reminds me of I see things. I expect nothing, so I'm never disappointed. When someone surprised me by doing the right thing and is an unexpected gift, it's a good
Starting point is 00:39:15 philosophy. I don't have high expectations of humanity anymore, but I get angry when people do the wrong thing. Nellie, concierge member, thank you, Nellie. It's shameful that the media does not report crimes and violence caused by black gangs. They do not want to report on blacks, killing blacks, but if a white kills a black, they'll report it all day long. Absolutely true.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Absolutely true. Lloyd Richmond, Farmington, Utah. Bill, thank you for reporting the news, and it is well worth my annual membership fee for Bill O'Reilly.com. An example was last night. You did a highly focused memo on Hunter Biden's plea. You did a well-chosen guest speaker about it. You did a smart life segment that always helps me about family history.
Starting point is 00:40:13 You did the quality store reminder and I get impeccable customer service. I am really glad to hear that Lloyd. You go to Bill O'Reilly.com store. We are there for you. So I appreciate that nice letter. Let's go to Mark, West Virginia. I must say tonight's final thought was one of your best ever. maybe it was the way you presented a definition of patriotism.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Love your country, but more importantly, help your country. That's the definition. Shmoo, I am Scotch Irish. My bucket list is to two of the British Isles. Great pictures on your website, Bill, of your trip to Ireland. Ireland and Scotland have had an enormous influence on the founding of our country, small countries, but mighty people. They are mighty people.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Absolutely. That's why I love to go there. Okay, I hope you go to the bill o'Reilly.com store. We have a summer reading special.

That's a rank-out word. When I was a kid, we used to rank out or other kids.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Nud-N-N-N-N-N-K was one of those words. Back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, final thought of the day, I was at a very expensive restaurant last night on Long Island, and it was packed. And it was Tuesday night. And it was good. I mean, you know, food is really good. But I'm going, wow, people, economic times are perilous, but people are spending.
Starting point is 00:42:11 And I think it's because many Americans have a live for today mentality, which sounds good. There was a song, I think it was by the grassroots, live for today, la, la, remember that? Okay. And it sounds good. Live for today, but don't. Planning is the key to success and the key to a less stressful life. Although I, everybody in that restaurant was having a good time last night. Everybody.
Starting point is 00:42:38 And food was good as I said, but it was expensive and it was packed on a Tuesday night. Don't live for today. Enjoy today. Be in the moment, but plan. Thank you for watching and listening on our radio affiliates all across the country to the no spin news. We'll see you tomorrow.
