Bill O'Reilly here Friday, October 23rd, 2020. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America, big buzz about the debate last night. Right after it, I was on television, Bill O'Reilly.com, and our other outlets, to give my instant analysis of the debate. Take a listen. Okay, so I'm going to give you the overall And then we'll get a little specific. President Trump won the debate by sheer force of personality. Now, if you are a Biden supporter, you think he won the debate. If you are a Trump supporter, you feel he won the debate.

But if you step back and you look at the two men as leaders, Donald Trump had more power behind his presentation. But I have to say that Joe Biden didn't really falter were no mental acuity issues. He said what he wanted to say in a fairly straightforward fashion. Now, the arch was that Trump is incompetent and on the other side that Biden is just a politician, an old-time hack, and a corrupt man. And there we have the singular part. of the debate that really matters. The corruption issue. As you may know, a business partner to Hunter Biden came out and said that Joe Biden actively was involved in enriching

his son by using the office of the vice presidency in foreign nations. All right. That's added on to the Hunter Biden computer, the hard drive that contained all kinds of things that imply, heavily imply that Hunter Biden was making millions of dollars because his father was vice president. All right. So that shrouded over the entire debate. Now clearly the NBC news moderator, Kristen Welker, who did a good job. didn't want to talk about that. And here's the proof. Ms. Welker had no specific questions about it, none in curious.

All right. Now, earlier today we heard Leslie Stahl, because President Trump put out the 60 Minutes interview, tell the president that all the accusations against Joe Biden are quote-unquote unverified. And that's why she, Leslie Stahl, wasn't really interested in talking about that. More of my post-debate analysis coming right up in the message of the day.

Right back. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Tharu, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford gold.

Let's continue with my post-debate analysis given live last night right after the exposition

in Nashville, Tennessee. But then Trump did something very interesting in the last 20 minutes of the debate. And this is why I think you want. Every time Biden said, I'm going to do, I'm going to do, I'm going to do, which he did every two minutes. And he was not specific. You know, go to my website. I'm going to do this. I'm going to.

Trump just goes, hey, you had eight years. You didn't do anything. You had eight years. Why don't you do it then? And at the end, Biden finally said, well, it was a Republican Congress. But he got battered. Trump battered him with that. Hey Joe, you've been in government for 47 years.

Federal government, you don't do anything. And then when I brought up race and this surprise, Ms. Welker, all right, Trump said, I'm the most effective president of black since Abraham Lincoln. All right? And then he peeled off a number of things that he's done to help the African American community, which are all true. Okay? Welker tried to inject the crazy stuff about the border crossings, being rapists and all that,

but it didn't really resonate. And then Biden was pinned back because Biden's crime bill in the 80s hurt African Americans. But now Biden's saying, I don't want anybody to go to jail because of narcotics offenses. I don't want anybody go in jail. So you can sell heroin, you can do whatever you want, I don't want you in jail. And that was Barack Obama's policy. It's a nonviolent crime. Don't put them in jail.

Let him sell heroin to the 14-year-old. Let him sell methamphetamine and crack cocaine. Go ahead. Let him. What do you think these gangs in Chicago gunning everybody down are doing? What do you think they're doing? Now, Trump should have absolutely leapt into that and said, Joe, you're so soft on crime.

You don't have one endorsement from any law enforcement agency. Donald Trump missed opportunities. That was a big one. I said, you don't know what you're doing. I mean, 30, 40 years ago, you want to put every black person in jail. Now you want to let everybody out. It's a matter with you. You have no policy at all.

And the cops endorsed me. And then on the border, and they did the cage thing, you know, Obama put them in cages, no, you put them in cages, you know, the same thing. We've heard it a million times. But why didn't Donald Trump say to a Biden, in that debate, you said you'd pay the health care costs of every illegal alien that comes to this country? Why didn't he do that? I'm sitting there going, come on, that's the crusher.

So the president was prepared at one level, but he didn't knock Biden out, knocked him down, did knock him out. Biden didn't hurt Trump this time around. Didn't hurt him. Last time, Trump hurt himself. Biden didn't hurt him this time. Now, Biden held his own, as I said, held his own. And I think Trump, probably if you were looking at this

and you were a blank slate, you would go, I'm going to vote for the more authoritative, powerful man to run the country. So in that regard, as I said, the top, Donald Trump won the debate. But again, you know, you're not going to get any consensus by anybody who supports Joe Biden that that actually happened. And the final thing is, if in the next 10 days it is shown beyond a reasonable doubt, even if the media doesn't cover, I will, and others will too. Talk Radio, Fox News. Okay? If it's shown Joe Biden that he He used his power as vice president to enrich his family.

No Americans should vote for him. So that's it. Who do you think won the debate? Write me at bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Coming up, something you might, not know.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not,

No. 105 years ago today, more than 25,000 women took to the streets of Midtown Manhattan demanding the right to vote. The march was the culmination of an ongoing battle dating back to before the Civil War. In July 1848, suffrage activists gathered in Seneca Falls, New York for the first women's rights convention. The event kicked off a nationwide movement. speakers included Frederick Douglass and other prominent abolitionists. The movement lost some momentum years later when the country's attention turned to abolishing slavery. But after the Civil War in 1869, Susan B. Anthony founded the National Woman Suffrage Association. It quickly became one of the fastest growing political organizations in the USA. Believe it or not, the group

witnessed widespread opposition. from both men and women. In the early 1900s, Josephine Dodge, a pioneer in childhood care, formed the National Association opposed to women's suffrage, claiming the vote would distract women from their, quote, motherly duties. The group of chapters in Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and most southern states. Their national pamphlets states, quote, the majority of women do not wish to vote. It is unwise, unfair, unjust to force upon a majority of women a measure which is obnoxious to their ideals of womanhood, unquote. By 1915, public sentiment had turned in favor of women's rights. By 1917, New York State granted women the right

to vote. The 19th Amendment was passed less than three years later. And here's something else you might not know. The same day, thousands of women walked down Fifth Avenue. The New York Times ran a story against the march, wrote the Times, quote, If they get the vote, they will play havoc for themselves and society. It is not possible to think of women as soldiers, sailors, police, patrolmen, or firemen, unquote. Wow. How times have changed.

Back after this. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly, no spin, just facts, and always looking out for you.
