Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, April 5th, 2020, stand up for your country. So I'm sure some of you watched the television news coverage of the Trump situation yesterday. It was interesting. MSNBC, did. didn't even take Trump's speech in Maelago.

And because this woman, Rachel Maddow comes on, I go, well, we're not taking it because there's the same old lies. I mean, NBC really should be ashamed of itself. You know, I don't have any problem in that it's a liberal network. I don't. I mean, if they think they can make money by left-wing people buying products on MSNBC, that's capitalism. to just do this absurd nonsense.

Oh, without broadcast, like what you say, Ms. Mato, is true? What your crew says is true? You'd have a blackout 24 hours a day of lives were what was the criteria to broadcast. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I had a vent on that. The subject of this evening's Talking Points memo is a political war, of course, is now igniting. So let's go over it methodically. I think that's the best way to do it.

We have new stuff for you tonight. The centerpiece in this prosecution is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. For those of you who don't live in the tri-state area, Mr. Bragg is an ultra-liberal. He was elected with a very small percentage of the vote. Color of Change funded his campaign. More than $400,000. That money came directly from Jewish. George Soros, 50% of felony arrests in New York City are either dismiss or downgraded to misdemeanors

by Mr. Bragg, who openly says he does not want to incarcerate criminals, okay? That's who he is. Now, he is charging Donald Trump, as you know and have heard a thousand times with business irregularities, falsifying business records. That is a misdemeanor in New York. state and couldn't be prosecuted because it happened six years ago and the statute of limitations is two years. The whole case should have been thrown out. Yet Mr. Bragg proports that there is another crime, a higher crime, that the falsification of the business records enabled. Yet when asked

about what that crime could be, he would not answer. Now, this to me, if I'm a judge, I throw the case out right then and there. Because if there isn't a higher crime, it goes into the misdemeanor category. The statute of limitations is past. You cannot try it. And Bragg is going, I don't have to tell you what it is. I'm the judge. Out.

Just on the legal merits of the case. Okay. So Brad gets up there and says this. Go. 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. These are felony crimes in New York State, no matter who you are. We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct. Serious criminal conduct?

Well, no bail for Donald Trump. Of course, no bail for anybody. in this state. And the next appearance is December 4th. So this is serious criminal conduct? And you're not going to even talk about it until December 4th? So Mr. Brad came across as Alvin, one of the chipmunks, rather than a law enforcement agent who knows what he's doing. It's just, I said this from the beginning, a fiasco. Now, a lot of the analysis is based on ideology that commentators either like or hate Donald Trump.

I don't do that. If I thought Donald Trump committed a serious crime, I would tell you, I'm not Donald Trump's lawyer. I'm just a citizen of the United States and New York State. Look, let me make it even more vivid to you. Bragg has insinuated that Trump violated New York State election law. He didn't say it, he insinuated it by subterfuge,

not telling people that some allegation back in 2006, and we'll get that at a moment, was in play. Well, Congressman George Santos, in my district here, lied pretty much about every single thing when he was elected last November. Santos is just walking around. Nobody bothering Santos in New York State. So if Trump somehow deceived the voters, Santos didn't?

Are you kidding me? It's serious because it's hurting the country, but it's a joke when you look at the legality. Now, Bragg's boss is Attorney General Letitia James, who's in all. Albany. She is just like Bragg when it comes to Donald Trump. Go. As the next Attorney General, I see the law as a sworn and as a shield to protect those who are vulnerable because no one is above the law, including this illegitimate president. And so, I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day, suing him, defending your rights, and then going home.

Yeah, every day we're going to sue him. So that, I mean, that's against the law. You can't single out an American citizen for persecution, which he just said is against the law. So this whole thing, it's never going to be tried. You know, December 4th is the next hearing. It's never going to get in. most likely by that time, this case will be thrown out.

Although New York is a corrupt state, and the judges may go along with the machine, the Democratic far-left machine, but then it would go into the federal area, and that's where I think it'd be thrown out. Now, what about criminal intent? This is another one. So law and order, criminal intent, right? So in 2006, Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump had an interaction of some kind. I don't know what it was.

You don't know what it was. Ms. Daniels has signed affidavits saying there was no affair, but now there is an affair, whatever it may be. But it took her 10 years to parade in with a lawyer who's now incarcerated Avinati to demand money. That was in 2016 as the presidential vote was coming due. So they timed it, Stormy Daniels and her lawyer, so they would come in and demand money so it wouldn't throw the Trump campaign and Donald Trump's life into chaos. So what do you call that? You call that some kind of crime? Same thing happened with a woman named Karen McDougal, who went to the National Enquirer shortly before the president to vote and said, I'll sell you my story for a lot of money.

So if you're candidate Trump and the vote is coming up, well, you don't want this out for two reasons. You don't want your campaign blown up and you don't want to hurt your family. This guy has a 17-year-old son. Right? So to prove criminal intent is impossible because Trump's lawyers just go in and say, look, who would want that? You know, the woman did get money, but this was to protect, this is what Trump's lawyers would say, will say, his family. I mean, does that make sense to everybody? Now, Alvin Bragg is basing his entire case on these women.

And another grifter who made up a story and got a little bit of money. His entire case is based on those people. And again, I'll ask you, how would you describe those people? Ten years? No, no, not happen. Then all of a sudden, I want money. That's not what a problem. prosecutor does. If the, so, quote, complaining witness, all right, if the person where this

all started is shady, not reliable, they don't take a case. So this case has so many problems, it's just almost beyond belief. Okay. Now, the political component is fast. So you have the Democratic Party which wants in the presidential race to run against Donald Trump. It doesn't matter whether it's Biden or somebody else, okay? They want to run against Donald Trump. Maybe that, be careful what you wish for, but that's what the Democratic Party wants. So in order to engender sympathy, they're doing all this. and Trump is getting the sympathy.

Rasmussen poll out today has Trump beating Biden by seven points and beating DeSantis by 30 for the Republican nomination. But the Democrats, they want him to get the nomination because they feel that he'd be easier to defeat than Ron DeSantis. That's the Democratic thing. So there is a link between Alvin Bragg and the Biden White House. Did you know that? Has it been reported anywhere? The link is 48-year-old Matt Colangelo. We mentioned him last night. Now, he used to work for Barack Obama and certainly

knows Joe Biden. He is now senior counsel to District Attorney Bragg. Ah! So he goes from Washington, from the Obama-Biden administration into Bragg's office. But, um, I know, we don't have anything to do with this. Oh, yeah, okay. Now, I'm not a conspiracy guy. You know me. This is no coincidence. Boy, it's dirty.

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. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast. Reminding you to tune into my show every day

to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all 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. Okay, Trump, alas, not a mile. I'm sure you watch that. He went after all of the prosecutions, not just brag, and he centered in on special counsel Jack Smith. Go. We have this Jack Smith lunatic threatening people every single day

through his representatives. They're threatening jail terms. But talk about Trump and you'll go free. This is where we are as a nation. Who would have thought they can't beat us at the ballot box so they try and beat us through the law. That's the country in which we live, however, right now. The USA is a mess.

And that's what Trump will run on, that it's a corrupt country, and he'll uncorrupt it. All right, he is the victim, and that's his campaign. You just heard it there. I want to give you the numbers on Erasmus and poll. Trump 47, Biden 40. Okay. In February, it was Biden 40.

Trump 42. So this is a eight-point swing and a lot of money coming into the Trump campaign, which Trump's going to need to pay his lawyers. So if Trump didn't have a re-election campaign, he'd have to pay it out of his own pocket. I estimate war, all these cases, $50 to $70 million in cost Trump. but he'll be able to, by donations, use that money to pay his lawyers. All right. If you have any questions at all, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com.

I did Hannity today. I brought over some of that point. That's on bill o'Reilly.com. We did a Q&A on WABC radio last night with callers. I will answer any of your questions tomorrow. Okay. So we want to be very clear. Let's bring in now a very interesting guy.

His name is Jack Smith. He's a former U.S. attorney in Northern Florida. He works for the Heritage Foundation now. He's a legal fellow. That's a right-leaning group. And he is the author of the upcoming book, Rogue Prosecutors, How Radical Soros Lawyers are destroying America's communities. Be out in June.

You can pre-order it now, Amazon and all the others, Barnes & Noble. And he joins us now from Pensacola, Florida. So I talked for about 14 minutes. Did I make any mistakes or omit anything that you think is important? Well, look, Bill, I think the point you are making that's very important is this is an extremely unusual prosecution in a lot of ways. And that's not just what white-leaning commentators, white-leaning lawyers are saying. That's what the liberal media outlets at the Washington Post, the New York Times, Fox Media, they're all saying, this is a very thin read for Alvin Bragg to hang these charges on Donald Trump.

And like you said, these falsification of business records charges that appeared in the indictment yesterday, those are typically misdemeanors under New York law, but they can only be bumped up to Class E, low-level felonies if Alvin Brad can prove beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the highest burden we know in American law, the standard any prosecutor has to meet. to prove his or her case, if Alvin Bragg can prove that those business documents were falsified by Donald Trump or someone acting at his behest with the intent to conceal another crime. Now, as you mentioned, we don't know what that other crime is. Alvin Bragg didn't put it in the indictment.

Didn't really bring a lot of clarity during this press conference, but I suspect it's based on campaign finance violations. If it's based on state campaign finance violations, that's very odd. because Donald Trump was a presidential candidate, and so, you know, federal campaign finance law should govern his conduct. And if it's federal campaign finance violations, that, too, would be very odd for two reasons. One, this is a state-level prosecution, not a federal prosecution, and the federal government, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Election Commission, which is charged with issuing civil fines when campaign finance laws are violated, both of those

entities looked at this situation and decided not to move forward with charges. And yet Alvin Bragg, he has chosen to move forward with charges that seem very questionable. That's a weak case. Everybody, I haven't heard anybody say it's a strong case, as you point out, anybody. Nobody says a strong case. Nobody says slam dunk. Nobody says any of that. I think it's going to get thrown out down the lane, all right? It's going to take years to adjudicate it if it doesn't. But can something happen to Bragg? Can Bragg be charged? If he doesn't come up with a crime, as we both pointed out, he hasn't yet that elevates it into the felony level. If he doesn't do that, if he can't do it, okay, can he be charged with prosecutorial misconduct?

Well, charging someone with prosecutorial misconduct, that's a very high bar for someone to surpass is those are very difficult charges to bring. That's what I thought. And, And the Attorney General Letitia James had never do it in New York because she hates Trump, too. If this case were in Florida where you are, it never would have reached anything, correct? Well, I doubt it would have been brought for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Governor Ryan DeSantis used his authority to remove a source back prosecutor in Tampa, Florida, Andrew Warren. But look, Bill, the thing that's very troubling about this case, and there are many things that are troubling, but I think one of the biggest troubling aspects of this case is the hypocrisy, the double standard that seems to be in play, which I know is shocking to really know one. But Alvin Bragg, he campaigned not only on promises to investigate Donald Trump, but more broadly not to prosecute most misdemeanors, not to seek incarceration in most cases, not to seek to hold offenders, even repeat violent offenders, pending their trials. And so yet, if you look at the facts surrounding this case, the charges

surrounding this case, you know, I think it quickly becomes apparent that this case likely would never have been initiated if the defendant wasn't named Donald Trump. I think you're right, Mr. Smith. Thanks very much for your expertise. Zach's book is The Rogue Prosecutors, How Radical Source Lawyers are Destroying America's Communities. You can pre-order it now. I'll be out in June. Okay. The political war. in America. So I'm smiling, but I'm really not smiling. So the city of Chicago elects Brandon Johnson, somebody who's further left than Lori Lightfoot. Okay. Well, Windy City voters, I don't know what to say to you. You'll have more bodies piling up in the

streets in the poor neighborhoods. The wealthy people in Chicago can protect themselves. The poor working on. This guy is an anti-police zealot, Brandon Johnson, and he wins by about 17,000 votes. That's all. It was close. But he got more votes than the pro-police candidate in Chicago. So there's a war here between people who are on team normal, that's us, common sense, love our country, and the radical left that hates the country, and are voting in people who are going to be destructive. Chicago's the third largest city in the country. It's just shocking. And now let's get into the political civil war a little deeper. Joining us from Nashville, Tennessee, is a very provocative man. You know him. Jason Whitlock,

and he's on Blaze TV. I can't believe you work for Beck. I mean, how is that? Is Beck, he's running around all over the place over there? Glenn Beck is awesome. Glenn's in Dallas. I'm in Nashville. And actually, you know, Glenn is the face of Blaze, but I actually work with and for Tyler Cardin and Gaston Mooney,

but that's inside baseball. All right. So he's the face of the Blazor, the Brains. That's what I'm getting. Okay, so the political civil war here, how do you see it? I think it's time to see. seriously contemplate secession. And I say that in all seriousness. I don't have a common ground with the other side. I don't think the other side has common ground with anybody that has any faith in God. I don't think they have common ground with anybody that believes in our founding documents, that believes in our founding fathers, that believes that America has been a force for good over the course of its history and has bended towards justice.

The other side wants to overthrow our founding, our Christian values, and want to create a society that bends towards the godless and the atheist and the secular crowd and the Marxists and the communists. And I don't think they're changing. And so when their position is that men can get pregnant, how do you reason with people like that? You don't. But there is no mechanism. There's no mechanism in the Constitution for secession, so it can't happen, legally can't happen. My tenant is if you live in California or New York or Illinois or these states that are been hijacked by the far left, and remember, that can always reverse itself and has throughout history, but the Chicago vote was

very troubling yesterday. You can move to where you are, Tennessee, or to another traditional state like Tennessee. Texas, or Florida, the Carolinas. There are plenty of places that you can go. You don't have to break up the country, which I don't think would be a good thing. I live in a red state. I live in a blue city. I live what I believe on the front lines of this cultural war right here in Nashville.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this last mass school shooting was a transgender person. the work that Matt Walsh and the guys at the Daily Wire have been doing have put Nashville in the crosshairs and made it a center of this cultural war I think a lot of the work that I do in terms of addressing how they use

race to advance their ridiculous ideologies we're doing that on the front line and so I just Bill I just don't see common ground mentally ill people like the person who shot up the school in Tennessee, killing the nine-year-olds, they're on the other side, too, like the guy

who shot up to Charleston Church. So it's hard, you can't generalize about crimes because there are exceptions and there are unique circumstances. I agree with you that this far-left movement is pernicious, and it does not want to improve America. It wants to destroy. destroy America. And therefore, I am on your team. But seceding is not the answer. If you look at history, the answer is convincing people in a way that is very vivid. And that's why I do what I do, because I want to bring that message. Now, as far as corruption in America is concerned, I think in my lifetime, the country has never been more corrupt. Would you agree with that?

A thousand percent. All right. Why? Because we've turned away from God. Well, because, yes, Bill. There are many Jesuits and Catholics and Jews who are on the progressive side, Jason? Yeah, just because they call themselves. Jesuits and Christians and just doesn't mean they actually believe in God. There are many people

that believe in God that don't want anything to do with obeying God. And that's the problem we have here in America, this little slippery slope. Oh, it's just going to be same-sex marriage. Well, no, it's actually going to turn into minor attracted people and drag queens at schools dancing in front of kids and reading books and sexualizing kids. Again, there are some principles that come from the Bible that we should have never backed down on. And we did back down, and it's created this slippery slope now. And Bill, you and I can go back 10, 15 years into our history when I was an idiot about the Second Amendment. And I was on that little slippery slope of like, well, they, you know.

take away some of the guns and blah, blah, I was an idiot. And I didn't believe at that point, like, well, the left isn't that crazy. Well, now I know they're that crazy. And we have to have our guns. And there's some lines in the sand we have to draw if we want a sane society that's safe for our kids. All right. And so it makes sense. What you're saying makes sense. There has to be some kind of standard if you want to have a strong nation so you're going to be talking about this at rocket town that's in tennessee near nashville right rocket it's in nashville no rocket town's a building a facility in nashville april 14th and 15 it's going to be you minister anthony walker t j mo a whole bunch of people you're charging 99 dollars all right so why do i want to pay

$99. Because we're going to have a fun, inspiring, worship-filled weekend, trying to inspire men to stand our ground and to take the responsibility that to write this society and write this ship, this whole matriarchal culture that we're setting up, it doesn't work. It just doesn't work. Is there a website attached to this where people can get more info? Yes. Fearless Army roll call.com. If you're a man that wants to live up to your responsibility and be a leader in this society and make sure that we're leaving this country a better place for our kids, not a worst place. You need to come to Nashville, have some food with us, listen to some music. We got great entertainment, the whole night. And we're going to come together as believers across racial lines, across economic lines. We're going to prove to people that. that there are sane men out here that want to do what's best for this country. Okay, that's, give me the website again slowly. Fearless army rollcall.com.

There you go, Jason. Thanks to talking to us today. We appreciate it. Thank you, Bill. 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 into president biden territory right now uh he did nothing again today as i told that he you know his schedule was put out to the press every day every day he does nothing or he travels to someplace like north carolina minnesota tells everybody how great the economy is and he comes right back and that's it so i think that uh mr biden is in severe cognitive decline right now

That's why I keep saying, I don't think he's going to run again. Could be wrong, of course. Bad news for the president on the economic front. The jobs, new jobs, only added $145,000, expected $200,000. That's not a disaster, but it's going a wrong way. And if we go into a recession, but again, you can't count on rational voting anymore. I thought the 20 midterms, the 2002 midterms, were going to be a repudiation of Biden in the Democratic Party. I was wrong.

It just can't anymore. People are voting against their own best interests. Smart life. Now, this is an interesting story. So I cruise around and I try to find stuff to help your life, my life. So I see a headline, five dumbest things we keep spending too much money on. I go in, all right, and I look, and it's a little murky, so I have my producers investigate. So what this is, is an outfit called Penny Hoarder, H-O-A-R-D-E-R, Penny Hoarder.

Now, they don't really give you any information, but they want your information. They want you to tell them what your address is and other personal stuff because they want to sell you stuff. Do not do that. So this was, you know, a phony headline, all right, bait and switch. I took the bait, but I didn't give them anything. And then I had my people check it out to be fair. And it was like, all I want is your personal information. which they can sell and your money to sign up for whatever they have.

So on the Internet, this is Legion. They're all over the place. Do not give your personal information on the phone to anybody. Okay? Smart Life. This day in history, April 5, 2005, ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings reveals he has lung cancer. All right. four months later he would be dead now the reason i am using this in the historical slot tonight

is because i worked for peter jennings for two years and i knew him pretty well and i learned a lot from him and uh he smoked a lot and tried to kick it and i remember you know everybody would be it trembles when he was trying to kick it because he'd be in a bad mood and all that Some people didn't like Peter Jennings. He was kind of arrogant at times. I really liked him. And I'll tell you why. He's a straight shooter. I was as cocky as they come when I was an ABC News correspondent. I was unbearable. I didn't. It was a mean or anything. I was just a swagger kind of guy. Well, Jennings liked that. Whereas Dan Rather, when I worked for CBS, he didn't. But Jennings kind of liked that I was feisty. And I got, I was on World News Tonight in two years more than a hundred times. I got a lot of play. And I got to know him because he didn't want to do the afternoon news briefs right after General Hospital. He just thought it was beneath them to do these news briefs.

And it was only one guy in the New York Bureau who could do them live. And that was, wah, because I was trained in local news. So I get a call 10 minutes before, you know, 3 o'clock, get down here. You got to do the news brief. Peter's not going to do it. So I bolt down there and slap a little pancake on me and I sit in the chair and knock it out. Okay? And he kind of enjoyed that.

And for me, that was a great spot. Millions of people watching this dopy soap General Hospital. And then before it comes on, here's me. It's like a 90-second news brief. so anyway i felt terrible about peter and and when i was doing a factor um he would call me a lot and say why did you say that or how can you do that and we would debate it and but he was he was a good guy and i wanted you all to know that all right we got a mail segment we got a final thought and i think the final thought is worthy for you to hear tonight i mean they all

are, but this is a little elevated. Okay, we'll be right back. All right. Let's go to the mail. Henry, concierge member now, again, I don't want to be boring and repetitive, but concierge membership on bill o'Reilly.com, direct access to me. Every day, we answer within 24 hours, whatever your questions may be. Finance, travel, urchins, bad neighbors, community stop, whatever it may be. All right. That's a good service to have. If you sign up for concierge or premium membership, concierge is a little bit more expensive, but really we give you big discounts on everything, so you make it back. But anyway, you get a free copy of any of my books, including the upcoming Killing the Witches, which I'm putting the finishing touches on right now. That'll be out

September 26th. You're going to be very, very surprised by this book. It goes places that no other book has ever gone before. Didn't they say that on Star Trek? Anyway, get back to Henry. Mr. Oh, I think this Benjamin Franklin quote is worthy. Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters, unquote. Well, I don't, we're corrupt, but I think we're going to get out of this.

Joseph Ricka rent in Washington, because the judicial system in this country is totally corrupt. There's no way Trump can get a fair trial in New York City. The reason why is because the Democrats on the jury will never issue a not guilty verdict. It's true, and he may get a change of venue, but remember, Bragg and the judge that's assigned to the case, who Trump does not like, they go with the change of venue. But if I were Trump's lawyers, I'd get it out of New York City. Absolutely. Reid Hindman, Ottawa, Canada. Bill, can Alman Bragg be sued for malicious prosecution? No. They're indemnified. All members of the court are indemnified from civil suits. You cannot sue them in the United States. I don't think it can in Canada either. Bill Rogers, Camelisk, New York. I've never been affiliated with any political party, but I am conservative with seven years of mostly ridiculous attacks on Donald Trump. I am changing.

I am registering as a Republican this way. I will be able to vote for him in a primary. Okay. There's a lot of people rallying to the Republican cause right now. There's no doubt about it. Jim Knox, Jacksonville, North Carolina. Why are sealed documents and gag orders appropriate for the types of charges brought against Trump? Well, sealed documents are grand jury documents.

All grand jury is sealed everywhere. Okay, so that's not unusual. There was no gag order because it would have been in. immediately challenged in a federal court. And the judge didn't want that. Jim Seve, Kettering, Ohio. Bill, why have we not heard from Mitch McConnell regarding the Trump indictment? Because he has a concussion. So Senator McConnell getting old, all right, no doubt about it, fell down, hit his head. And I understand that he is not in good shape. I don't know more than that and I don't want to intrude on their privacy over there okay team normal uh spring and

summer um i got i got to model this stuff for you i'm trying over the weekend to get to do it i have no time from modeling exercises but i do the shirts are great and the hats and a mugs in it right and this will be spring and summer and you'll have a good time with it because wherever you go if you have a team normal hat or shirt people will come up and go what's team normal and you will explain it to them. All right, and you'll make new friends because it's not political, there's no angst. It's fun, entertaining. Word of the day, do not be nebulous.

One of my favorite words, N-E-B-U-L-O-U-S. Do not be nebulous. Writing to me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name and town, if you wish to opine. Quick break, back with an important final thought. Okay, here is the final thought of the day. We want to wish all of our Jewish viewers and listeners a very good Passover. You know, it's happy Passover, not appropriate. It's Passover. If you read the Old Testament, it's fascinating the Egyptian Jewish conflict. Moses is the middle of that. So it's not happy, but it's a spiritual exercise for. our Jewish brothers and sisters, and we want to acknowledge that. And then tomorrow is Holy Thursday, the time of the Last Supper for Christians,

and then Friday is the execution of the Nazarene, and then Saturday is Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. So I've been telling you that rent the movie killing Jesus, all right, that's totally appropriate. It's better than the Ten Commandments or all these older movies. or read the book the book will do you a lot of good but when i go to church i'm going to try to get to church tomorrow and friday and of course on easter i'm going to pray for my country i always pray for my family and i never pray interestingly enough for success okay i never never do that um or money or material things i know you know i pray for a greater good stuff

So, of course, my family, I want to protect it, my friends. I've got a lot of friends now battling cancer and four. And, you know, anything I can do I'm going to do, including, say, prayers for that. But now I'm putting my country up there because we, who love our country, team normal, I mean, it's getting bad. I mean, this political war has not been seen since the Vietnam time, and this is worse than back then. this is no not anything to trifle with so I'm a believer you guys know that and I'm basing my belief on rationality I don't know whether I mentioned this or not but

it's worth mentioning again so I have atheist friends and and I give them a lot of jazz you know so I go explain to me again why there's no supreme being and no and somebody who designed the universe. Oh, no, no, no, it's evolution. And it came out of the ocean and the little cells came out. And I said, oh, okay, well, how did the ocean get there? So it's a silence.

But then I hit him with this. I said, okay, let's just assume that the ocean appeared somewhere and landed on Earth and not Venus. And then the cell kind of came out. or the amoeba, whatever it is, paramecium. How did it get to be a dinosaur? How did that little thing?

Big giant, you know, Jurassic Park. I said, look, just watch Jurassic Park, and he's thinking, like, oh, no, no, come from that little cell? That, how it went. So I use humor here. They can't answer. Nobody can. The believers can.

answer. They go, well, God did it. Okay. People believe what they want to believe. I happen to want to believe that there is a justice in the universe, that good people will be rewarded and evil people will be punished. That's what I want to believe. And the only way that's going to happen is that there's a supreme being. But my rational thought says that paramecium can't turn into the brontosaurus. There's no way that it can happen. And if you look at how intricate the human body is, all right, so we came from a woolly mammoth or some chimpanzee someplace, it just doesn't stack in my limited rational mind. And I think about these things. So when I go to church tomorrow, Friday, and Sunday, in the forefront is asking the Creator and Jesus, who is the Redeemer in my faith, to help the most noble nation on earth, the nation that helps more human beings than any other nation combined. Us, we need help.

We need divine intervention. We do. And that, I mean, that Chicago vote, I mean, your head will snap back. Those people in Chicago, they want more of Lori Lightfoot. They want worse than Lori Lightfoot. they want more bodies in the streets and the poor neighborhoods that what you're voting for

that's what they're voting for so we need divine intervention that is the final thought of the day and again i'd like to hear if you disagree or have any other thoughts bill at bill o'reilly dot com we always thank you for watching and listening to the no spin news and we will see you tomorrow
