Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, December 19th, 2020, standoff for your country.
Happy Hanukkah, all our Jewish listeners and viewers. I'm glad it's Christmas Hanukkah week.
We all need to wind down.
After a very tough year, you know, American homes, households has lost $7 trillion this year.
I keep looking at that figure and analyzing it, and it's almost incomprehensible.
Seven trillion dollars of spending power we've lost because of Joe Biden.
And it's as simple as that.
It's him.
It's his policy.
and the progressive left to run him.
So this has been a tough year for everybody.
And some people, a lot of people, don't even know it,
which is why I wrote my column on Sunday.
I hope you read it, The Rise of the Tribes,
because Tribe No. 2 in America doesn't know any of this.
They don't know.
So I hope you do read it.
Next year it's going to be dicey.
You can see the cracks already.
big institutional investors stop buying stocks, big companies, financial institutions laying people off now.
There are going to be big layoffs in the media already started there.
So next year, cautious.
And that is why the most important thing outside of your job and your family taking care of both is you've got to stay close to us.
Because we're ahead of this.
And that's why, you know, premium membership, concierge membership, all of that, you know,
if you're going to give somebody a gift, consider that.
And you guys are already in, so stay with us.
The Talking Points Memo this evening is on the continuing madness in the media,
which is going to get worse as well.
They're not going to ever now.
support a Republican, no matter who that Republican is for president.
The media will never, ever again in our lifetime, support a Republican, ever.
That's how deeply ingrained this progressive movement is in the corridors of power,
in the leftist movement.
So here is a great example.
on ABC News Sunday, there was an interview on the program this week with Martha Rattitz.
So Texas Governor Abbott came on. Roll the tape.
You talk about the border wall, you talk about open borders.
I don't think I've ever heard President Biden say, we have an open board and come on over.
But people I have heard say, are you, are former President Trump, or Ronda Santos.
That message reverberates in Mexico and beyond.
Well, that is one of the most foolish statements I have ever heard in my entire career.
And Martha Rattitz is not, she's a smart woman.
I work with her in Boston at Channel 5 up there.
And she's basically saying, oh, Joe Biden isn't the one that's sending a signal.
The border's open.
It's you, Governor Abbott.
And, you know, the conservatives, they're the ones that are making everybody come up here with the open border scenario.
And you go to yourself, do you have eyes, Ms. Radditz?
These pictures, all right, are sent all over the world of millions of people,
five million since Biden's been inaugurated.
Foreign nationalists have encountered border patrol.
Five million in less than two years.
And Radis is going, no, it's not Biden who's making these people come.
It's you, Governor Abbott and the Conservatives,
and you just go like this.
That is so colossibly stupid, and she is not a stupid woman.
right she's a leftist no doubt about it and she works for disney which is about as liberal as it gets
on a corporate level but i'm sitting there going are you kidding me now just let me prove my point
here the bide administration every single day does not enforce immigration law just doesn't enforce
And here is the key.
Immigration law says, quote, to lawfully enter the United States, a non-citizen must apply and present himself or herself in person to an immigration officer at a U.S. port of entry when the port is open for inspection.
That is the law.
But for the Biden administration, if you're caught wandering around the desert somewhere or coming over the Rio Grande and you get one foot,
on U.S. soil and say, I want asylum. They let you in. That's a clear violation of the stated
immigration law. So there's no debate about it. Now, I get mail going, well, why can't Biden be
prosecuted? Because not enforcing the law is not a crime. It's not. If it were, half the DAs in the
country, he would be in the penitentiary because they have what they call discretion
under the law. Now, can you impeach Biden in a heartbeat? And if the Senate and House were
controlled by Republicans, he'd get convicted. They boot him on this because he is
absolutely failing to uphold his oath. His oath is.
is I, Joe Biden, will uphold the laws of the United States.
He is not.
Am I clear on this?
Is everybody clear?
Somebody get a message to Martha Radditz.
Okay, there are 51 ports of entry on the southern border.
51.
So it's not like hard to get to.
They're not.
But these people don't want to go there because then they get in the bureaucracy.
they might be sent back.
They know if they can get in here,
Biden will let them stay.
And it doesn't matter who they are.
It doesn't matter if they have 18 felonies in Honduras.
Because the U.S. government can't check them out.
Most of them don't even have ID.
They don't even, you know, it's like, my name's Jose.
All right, and that's it.
Now, El Paso, the city, is declared a state of emergency.
because they're overwhelmed by this.
And that's a big city.
And the mayor there says, look, we can't handle the amount of people, his name is Oscar Leaser.
So we have a state of emergency because we have 40% more migrants in October than we had in October 21, 40% more.
And they keep coming thousands every day to the El Paso sector.
Why El Paso?
Because that's where the cartel is.
El Paso Juarez, that cartels the whole town of Juarez, Mexican cartels.
So what is the state of emergency?
It means that the city of El Paso can bus migrants other places without the federal
government's approval.
It's a big mess.
The city of El Paso have no resources to do any of that, but this is a symbolic gesture.
Okay.
Okay, so summing up, why did Martha Raditz take that tact?
Because that is the tact of ABC News.
That's what they believe.
And they're going to protect Joe Biden, no matter what he does, they're going to protect him.
Okay?
It's clear.
And CBS is going to do it, and NBC is going to do it, and CNN's going to do it.
No matter what he does, they'll protect him.
Now, what is going to happen, I predict now, is over Christmas and the holiday, you're going
to see the network news report on the border, but from a humanitarian point of view.
Look at these poor people.
They're freezing cold.
They don't have enough to, there's five-year-old Sally, doesn't have enough to eat,
trying to get sympathy for the migrants, so that they make.
it easier for them to get in here. That's what you're going to see, rather than what I just did
saying what the deuce is the President of the United States doing, not enforcing border law.
What is he doing?
All right. That's the memo. President's schedule. It's Ecuador Day in the White House.
There's a meeting with President Guillermo Laso of Ecuador. I have not been to Ecuador.
I want to go to the Galapolos, so you've got to go through there.
So I will, God willing, you know, be there sometime.
And then at 7 p.m. is a Hanukkah celebration at the White House.
That ought to be fun.
Joe and Joe Biden are going to spend Christmas at the White House.
No Delaware.
They're going to be there.
And all the members of the Biden family will join them.
And then after Christmas, they're going to St.
Croy in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have been to St. Croix, nice island. Not great beaches in
St. Croix. A little rocky there, but beautiful island. And they'll do what they always do.
The Bidens, they get a rich benefactor down there. They'll stay at their house and they'll have a
nice time. I do not begrudge Joe Biden any of that. I just think he's a terrible president.
Okay. Now, on December 18th, Biden was talking.
to veterans in Delaware and said this. Go.
Thank you. I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid.
I married Dominic Giac Giacoppa's daughter, so, you know, I've gotten an old Italian to me now.
Okay, I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid. We've heard that before.
He's used that line before. I'll get to that in a moment.
But he did not marry Dominic Giacoppa's daughter.
So he married his granddaughter.
So Biden doesn't even know the lineage of his wife.
He doesn't know.
It's almost, you know.
Okay.
So I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid.
Am I offended by that?
I am not.
It's hard to offend me on this ethnic stuff.
Did you know that the term patty wagon?
was named after Irish drunks, that the cops in New York and Boston threw them into wagons
to take them to the drunk tank. And so they named the wagons patty wagons because they're overwhelmingly
Irish were passed out in the streets. Not an ethnic slur? I believe it is. Okay? And then there's a
million of them. But I don't care. All right, I'm smarter than Joe Biden. I'm Irish, 100% Irish.
smarter than he is. In fact, if there were a debate between Joe Biden and myself, there would be a
first-round T-K-O. He wouldn't last three minutes with me. And that's a truth. And you can call me a
braggard. I don't mind. It's a truth. And you know it. Okay, so let's get to the January 6th
referrals. So from the very beginning, any fair-minded person knew that the January 6th
committee wasn't looking for the truth about January 6th, wasn't trying to find out what actually
happened. They were trying to put a noose around Donald Trump's neck and hang him and blame him
for the riot. That's what they were trying to do. Everybody knew that, which is why I know
Republicans in the House outside of Cheney and Kinsaker, whatever his name, is.
were on the committee because every every republicans said look this is the cliche is kangaroo
court that's what it was everybody knew that and subsequently that was born out millions of
dollars spent time wasted will get Trump no matter what so today the committee is issuing a summary
of their findings and referring Donald Trump for criminal prosecution
Okay. Now, I know a lot about this story more than most people know. So the three areas that they want the Justice Department to prosecute on are insurrection that Trump caused an insurrection himself, okay?
Be obstruction of an official proceeding. That would be the electoral votes.
and conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
I don't know what that is.
Okay, I don't know.
Those are the three.
Now, the heavy odds are that America, Garland, will do nothing unless Biden tells them to do it.
And Biden is not going to tell them to do it unless the progressives really start to panic about Trump.
Because once you do that, then the whole country blows up.
And Biden does not need that now.
He does not need it.
So I don't think anything is going to come at this, at least in the short term.
Never know about the long term.
So I asked my staff to get a smart guy, an attorney, to give us another point of view on this.
His name is Arthur Idalia.
You might know him.
He's been on TV a lot.
He does a radio program on 970 AM in New York City.
And here he is coming to us.
Manhattan. So if you were defending Trump, because that's what you do for a living, right,
you defend people who are charged with serious crimes, would you be worried?
Well, I've only seen the evidence of the prosecutor. So I don't know the evidence of the defense
attorney. So often, like yes, Friday, I get the prosecutor's accusatory instrument and I read it
and I'm like, oh boy, we're in trouble.
But then I sit down and I talk to my client
and there are a lot of answers to the charges
or the circumstances around those charges.
From what I saw earlier today,
from Congress's presentation and the video that they ran,
yeah, I would definitely be concerned.
And when you have the former attorney general, Mr. Barr,
saying that he told the president of the United States,
Donald Trump, that I have found no evidence of fraud
and basically, no matter how many times you asked me to say
that I did find evidence of fraud, I'm not going to do that.
You know, that doesn't bode well.
But, Mr. O'Reilly, to put you in good company, you know,
just because I'm Italian, it doesn't mean I'm not a really smart guy.
I did look up the conspiracies of fraud in the United States
because I've never heard of it.
And I found two cases, one from 1910 and one from 1924,
and the general concept is any conspiracy for the purpose
of impairing, obstructing, or defeating the lawful function of any department of government.
That's the first case.
And Chief Judge Taft in 1924 wrote to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions.
So President Trump, what he has to do here is his defense is he has to say, look, I never told anybody to storm the capital.
I never told anybody to create any violence.
I never told anybody to do X, Y, and Z.
They took it on their own to do it based on, yes, some of my comments.
I did think the election was stolen from me.
I do still to this day think there is fraud.
Those are genuine beliefs of mine, and I have these reasons to believe it.
But what Merrick Garland has done,
but what he did as soon as President Trump announced he was running for president,
is he said, look, I shouldn't be the one involved in this case,
since he's running against my boss and that is clearly a textbook conflict of interest so in my opinion
he did the right thing by stepping back as much as he good and appointed a prosecutor um jack smith who
actually i crossed path with here he started off in the in the eastern district of new york and
brooklyn but he's really been all over the country and all over the world as a prosecutor he's known
as a through prosecutor people around him say they don't know
know if he's a Democrat or a Republican.
And his statement was, I'm going to look at the evidence and see where it leads.
However, clear, he does not have the final say.
It still goes.
So Congress is basically now giving us to Jack Smith.
Jack Smith will do whatever investigation he wants to do.
And all he does is make a recommendation back to Merrick Garland.
And if you are correct, Bill O'Reilly, Merrick Garland will do whatever President Trump, President Biden tells us.
tells them to do. Now, as I said to the audience, I know a lot about this case because I've
been following it very, very clearly. So what the committee has come up with is a bunch of circumstantial
evidence. So a skilled defense attorney like you could shred that. So we know, for example,
that Trump alerted the Pentagon that the National Guard might be needed to protect Washington, D.C.
That's in stone. That happened.
So that happened a day before the January 6th incident.
That wipes that out, that Trump wanted this riot to occur.
Wipes it right out because it's reasonable doubt.
If he alerted the Pentagon, then he couldn't possibly have wanted this to happen.
That's number one.
Number two, you're basically saying you disrupted a proceeding to certify the electoral votes.
But Trump comes back or you come back if you're defending him and say, look, Trump believed there was a mechanism in the Constitution that allowed the Vice President Pence not to certify certain electoral votes and states that are dubious.
and then you debate that all around.
I mean, but there's reasonable doubt right there.
The way you have to try to turn lemons here into lemonade
is that as a defense attorney,
and we have to do that often as defense attorneys,
the whole part about Pence and the pressure,
because there seems to be some evidence
that the President of the United States put a lot of pressure on Pence.
And that's true. He did.
Trump, but Trump's got to turn it around and say,
but Pence never got to Congress.
Pence never disrupted.
uh the proceedings he didn't do anything ever did anything so you can't blame uh anything i said to pence
on me disrupting no but he could they can say it was a conspiracy that you conspired to make it
happen and just because it didn't happen doesn't throw out the conspiracy charge since you
since you brought it up let me put on my objective hat because i was a prosecutor and a defense
attorney in federal court proving conspiracy is a very easy thing to do it's a very easy thing to do
And if they want to get Donald Trump and they charge him with conspiracy in almost any jurisdiction in the United States of America, the bar is very low to convict somebody of a conspiracy.
Here it's to conspiracy to do fraud the U.S., which is something I've never heard of, but they could also charge him with conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding of Congress.
And that, anyone who's charged with proceeding with a conspiracy needs to worry because the federal government bill, my dad told me this a long time ago, when they want you,
they'll get you. That's true, but remember that it would be a jury and they would have to have
what they call a smoking gun because the jury is going to have to be convinced that Donald Trump
actively, not passively, all right, did something illegal to stop a legitimate government function.
I could defend this case. I think I could win, but anyway.
But he doesn't have to do it. He just has to be active in the conversation.
and if he directs someone else to do it, he could be sitting in the White House and someone else does something.
But there wasn't anybody who did anything like that. Pence went to the Capitol.
Pence did what Pence believed the Constitution required. Okay. There was no one else involved in that kind of a situation.
We've already shredded the fact that Trump wanted the riot to occur. That's not true.
So what's the other conspiracy? Giving an opinion?
Well, I think Jack Smith, the special prosecutor, what he, the people he's going to call in, and if they cooperate, are the ones that were charged with the actual crimes.
Who told you to go into the Capitol? There was one guy in the video earlier today.
But they already should have that. They already should have that because the proceedings, the criminal proceedings, been going on for a year.
How many people are in penitentiary? They should have it already.
Now you have a different prosecutor who's supposed to be operating independently.
And you see, you know he isn't.
He's also, Bill, just one more thing is he's also looking at these, the papers that was stuck in Florida and Mar-a-Lago and why these, so he's doing an investigation on several things.
He's doing it on.
I know.
The third thing is the super PAC that apparently raised some money that Trump was supposed, I'm sorry, not the SuperPack, but Trump raised money right after this that was supposed to be used a certain way.
and they're looking at whether it was used a certain way.
So there's three ways they go after.
From what up my perch, it's just like the impeachment stuff.
All right, they try, they're trying to get this thing going.
They're trying any way they can.
I don't think it's going to work, but I could be wrong.
Very good conversation, Arthur.
Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you for taking the time.
Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast,
and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
Every morning I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, 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.
over the weekend. You see, I don't get any time off like you guys do. I have to always be watching
and listening. Sometimes it drives me crazy, you know, I just don't want to do it. So Schumer and
Pelosi have lunch with the CNN correspondent Jamie Gangiel. It's been around forever, this woman.
Okay? This was December 15th. And I'm looking at this report, and it seems,
to me that they are gloating. Schumer and Pelosi are gloating. See if you picked that up. Roll
the tape. I tell people, Nancy instinctively knew how to handle Trump because for her first,
you know, 35, 40 years of life, she raised five children, and she knew how to deal with children,
and that's what helped her deal with Trump because he ultimately was a child.
We had a different approach. Chuck is a New York.
Brooker.
Brooklyn.
Brooklyn.
So they spoke their own kind of, they understood each other.
What would it mean if Donald Trump was re-elected president?
I don't think it'll happen.
The American people have gotten wise to him.
Took a little while, but they did.
I don't think that we should talk about him while we're eating.
Is that classy?
I don't.
I don't know. I thought I'd show it to you. Okay, so the cable news ratings are in from year to year, all right, because 22 is pretty much over now. It's pretty grim, pretty grim. So CNN's primetime audience, that's where they really make their money. Prime Time is 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Okay?
down 33 percent. So they left the third of their audience. MSNBC down 21 percent. Okay,
um, not good. And Fox News is down one percent in the 25 to 54 demographic, which they
call the money demographic. Now remember when I was doing the factor, we did a million
in the 25-54 some nights, the combined 8 and 11 broadcast.
So that's why the factor made so much money.
Anyway, the 25 to 54 demographic, CNN down 36%,
MSNBC down almost 40%.
These are the younger viewers.
Fox News down 7%.
But in the last three months, Fox News has hemorrhaged
25 to 54 viewers. I'm not exactly sure why. See, Fox News has a built-in advantage because
conservative Americans, and remember, there are 125 million homes that have television in this
country, 125 million. So the conservatives have nowhere else to go. Newsmax is there,
but it has not been able to establish itself for whatever.
have a reason. All right. So if you're a conservative, traditional American and you want news at
night, there's only one place for you to go. The liberals divide, okay, between MSNBC and CNN,
and then they have the nightly newscasts on the three NBC, CBS, ABC, which are tilting further
and further left.
So they have a lot of different things.
So they're a fragmented audience.
But this is not going to get any better.
Maybe the presidential election 24 will ignite it viewership a little.
But right now, only about 2, 3% of homes with TV in America are watching these.
people. That's nothing. Now, you say, well, why do you even discuss it? Because what they say goes out
on the internet. That's the conduit. See, what I say to you on the NOSPN News goes out to Facebook and
YouTube and it goes everywhere. I don't even know where it's going. It goes all over the world.
I don't even track it. My people do that. But that is what happens. They don't watch real time.
They watch clips, and the clips go all over.
So that is why we discussed this, because if there is subterfuge, if there is lying going
on, if stories are ignored like the Musk Twitter story, which is unbelievable scandal,
you need to know it.
Smart Life.
Okay.
So Christmas Hanukkah gratuities, that's tips.
Okay. Now, I like to be generous around the holidays. I have the resources to be generous. I didn't always. And I was still generous. So I'll tell you something, I've never told anybody. When I was working at Fox, the factor, as you know, the highest rated cable news show of all time, and will remain that, Fox did not give Christmas
bonuses to anyone. Nobody. I gave out of my pocket Christmas bonuses to my staff. Now, I didn't
spread it around. I wasn't, you know, that, that, that, that, but I've always done this because
people do good work for me, making me look good. And I was kind of offended that FNC making billions
and billions of dollars wouldn't kick back a little Christmas Hanukkah money. Okay. So anyway,
This week, smart life, the people you depend on, give a 20 or a 50 or whatever, whatever you can afford.
Mail person, sanitation people. That's a key. People pick up your garbage, okay?
Give them a nice little gratuity because you're going to have stuff throughout the year you want them to take and, you know, it's kind of on the edge.
anybody you depend on so if you have a housekeeper or babysitter if you're an apartment building
the doorman whoever delivers handymen okay i don't know whether i have a couple of guys because i
can't do anything all right i can't fix anything i'm just hopeless and they actually laugh at me
the people that i hire laugh at me because i don't know um where's this mr o'reilly i have no
idea where it is. I should know, but I don't. Anyway, so if this is a practical thing as well
as a charitable thing, take care of those people that you depend on this week with a smile.
This day in history. Now, Christmas music, I don't overdo it. My two favorite albums,
are Christmas albums are Charlie Brown Christmas. What a piece of music that is. And the
Carpenter's, Karen and Richard Carpenter. Now you might say, oh, Riley, what are you doing?
If you listen to Karen Carpenter's voice, okay, it is as clear a voice as any human being has
ever had that I've ever heard. So 44 years ago today, ABC, a whole different network back
then ran a Carpenter's Christmas special. Go.
That I wish you Merry Christmas Day, Happy New Year too, I just one wish on this Christmas
I wish I were with you.
Now, I know it's not an M&M Christmas, but I like that stuff, but just five years later, February 4th, 1983, Karen Carpenter was dead from a heart attack caused by anorexia.
She did not eat, and it was horrifying.
years old and she wouldn't eat um but what are you going to do uh what are you going to do
is this eating disorder stuff it's all over doesn't get any publicity but it's everywhere
anyway um we want some good christmas music the carpenters okay we got a mail segment
and then we have a final thought that pertains to christmas as well we'll be right back

Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.
Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers,
lawmakers, and even the president of the United States.
These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world.
Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
You don't want to miss an episode.
Let's go to the mail, Daniel Birch, Portland, Oregon.
Bill, why do you and others repeatedly say Biden doesn't care about illegal immigration?
He does care, and his administration is competent.
They're doing this on purpose.
They want millions more illegal immigrants to come to America.
It's clearly intentional.
Okay, so we're not opposed.
my direct statement is the Biden administration does not want to solve the problem of illegal immigration.
You are correct, the progressives want as many foreign nationals in this country as possible.
And it goes to the column that I wrote on Sunday.
I hope you read it, The Rise of the Tribes.
Martin, I fear Tribe One, which is from the column, is on the way out, simply in numbers,
game. The tipping point is millions of people streaming across the border who have zero
stake in our culture. There's something to that. But many, many, many immigrants work really
hard and buy into the American dream. Many. They're not layabouts. Jeff, concierge member,
please consider concierge membership for yourself or as a gift. I agree that Republicans
should go heavy on evidence and light on hysterics.
when they have the committees investigating the Bidens.
My problem is that evidence doesn't mean anything,
and there are liberal judges all over the place.
It's a court of public opinion here.
So that's what this is, court of public opinion.
James, investigations are just protests without the marches,
serve no good for our country,
and take elected officials away from the duty
of solving the problems of our country.
I disagree.
I think you've got to get to the truth of certain matters.
short, Rochester, New York. Bill, won't the corporate media blackout any Republican-led
congressional hearings? Yeah, but it'll get out on the internet. Talk radio, Fox News. It'll get
out. It'll get out. Just like the border. Al Pollack, Logan, Utah. Bill, I listen to your piece
on price gouging, and I have a great example. Where I live, we now have a Costco selling gas
at $2.99 a gallon, while other stations are $3.53.
sure Costco does a heavy volume of gas and their prices are lower but you think those gas prices
at the gas stations are going to come down fast they're coming down but not fast final thought
in a moment time now for the final thought of the day and we just gave you a gratuity smart
life segment now charitable giving on bill o'reilly dot com I have
have listed some of the charities that we give to. They've all been vetted. I am very, very
militant about that. I'm not giving money to people who are going to waste it. All right? I talk
to the people. We know what they're doing with the money. So if you're looking for charities,
but let me give you a tip. In your town and your county, there are usually a big brothers
and sisters organization. I was a big brother when I worked in Denver. I had three kids.
And it was one of the best things that I have ever done. And I think the kids themselves would
agree because I've stayed in touch with them over the years and mentored them. So the big brothers,
big sisters, that's a local charity that you might want to support. The other thing is the
food kitchens. They have them everywhere. Now, there are people and they're not drug addicts
or near-de-wells or whatever that are really poor and they're confused and they don't have
the skills to really make it in America and they're hungry. So those things you can find
and you can actually walk in and give them a check or whatever and you can check it out yourself
to see if they're being run properly.
And, you know, I am a guy who respects every religion, even Islam when it's sincere,
you know, not when I try to kill people, but, you know, and the basis of Christmas is Christianity.
And it's quite clear that we Christians have an obligation.
to help people who need help.
And so around Christmas time, this is, it's, I have to do it.
I have to do it.
Now tomorrow, I'm going to, we have a special edition.
I'll be here and I'll be here in the setting and we'll have news and all of that.
But I'm going to take some time out to do two things.
the movie that I'm most proud of that I executive produced is killing Jesus.
I mean, killing Kennedy was really good, and so was killing Lincoln and killing Reagan.
They're all good.
But killing Jesus is a cut above.
And I'm going to run a two-minute clip that directly pertains to the history of the birth of Jesus.
Kelsey Grammer plays Herod in the clip.
I'm going to run that.
I'm going to, and I've done this once before, I'm going to go over the history that Martin
Dugard and I found in killing Jesus, the book, which was a massive worldwide bestseller.
I don't have any religion in it, by the way. I don't use the word Christ once in killing
Jesus because Christ is Redeemer, and it connotes a belief. We didn't do that. What we did was methodically
find out
okay
what
Jesus
the boy and the man
actually experienced
on this planet
it's fascinating to me
I mean even if I were a pagan
I mean
Jesus
of Nazareth
the Nazarene
is the most
famous human being
was ever lived
how did that happen how did that happen think about it think about it of all the people who've ever
lived he's the most famous and has the most followers today in 2022 how did that happen tomorrow
i'm going to tell you right here on the no spin news not going to be a sermon it's going to be
historically based. I find it fascinating. You may find it boring. If you do, you don't have to
watch or listen. But I think it is Christmas week, this is a good deal. All right? So,
thank you very much for watching and listening on our, on more than 100 radio stations across
the country. And we will see you tomorrow.
