Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News Thursday, May 11, 2023, stand up for your country.
So a few hours ago, I got a call from Donald Trump, the former president of the United States.
Now, he never signals me that he's going to close.
He has my private number. Very few people on the earth do have that. So he calls. And of course,
I'm going to take the call. I'm a news guy. So we spoke for about 10 minutes. He's very happy
with the town hall. Very happy. I didn't have much to say because why would I? I just debriefed him about what happened
into New Hampshire, how he felt about it, what he's going to do now. Not my job or role to say
anything unless he asks me. Okay, so that happened, and I got some pretty good information to
share with you, and he's happy, but lots of people are not happy about that town hall,
and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So I'm going to slow it down,
because there's a lot here, and I want to be fair, as always.
The town hall, in my opinion, was a shipwreck, okay?
What is the town hall supposed to be?
Two things.
Supposed to give audience members a chance to ask the president
or whosoever the subject of the town hall questions
and get information.
That's number one.
Can you remember one thing the audience asked Donald Trump?
I can't.
Number two, the moderator of the town hall is supposed to get as much information out of the subject as humanly possible.
That didn't happen.
And here's why.
When you go into interview Donald Trump, and I've done it scores at times, as you all know, you know what you are getting.
everybody knows that Trump has his greatest hits it's like if you go to a concert by the classic rock group
the turtles they are going to sing happy together there's nothing you can do if you're in the arena
with the turtles you're going to hear happy together okay so if Trump is sitting across from you
you're going to hear his greatest hits. What are the greatest hits? The election was rigged
2020. Okay. January 6th was mostly peaceful with good people. Vladimir Putin is smart and the country
is going to hell. Those are the four top, greatest hits of Donald Trump, and he's going to
tell you about them no matter what you do okay so enter the moderator 31-year-old
katelyn collins a cnn host miss collins is very talented and very smart but she's 31 years old
when i was 31 i was lucky i wasn't in the penitentiary she also has no mentor
at CNN because there is no one there, no one, who knows that to interview anybody.
Okay, they just don't have the skill set.
If Caitlin Collins had spent a few hours on the phone with me, that interview that she did
or the moderation that she did would have been a thousand times better because I would
have tell her what I'm telling you.
You don't go in as a prosecutor.
You don't tell a former president that he's lying.
You don't challenge the greatest hits because you know he's not going to admit he is wrong.
Ever.
Okay, ever.
If you read the United States of Trump, his own son told me in his whole life, Donald Trump has never admitted being wrong once.
not once.
The closest he ever came
was my interview with him about
John McCain
when he disparaged
the senator's P-O-W status.
That's the closest he came.
And he didn't admit he was wrong then,
but it was close.
Okay.
So Caitlin Collins
wanted to prove her medal,
M-E-T-T-L-E,
two CNN viewers
who are primarily left-wing.
So, therefore, she interrupted.
She had to interrupt sometimes.
I interrupt Trump.
I interrupted Obama.
You have to.
Because they'll just go on forever.
But she was accusatory.
And that put Trump in a, I'm going to steamroll this person mode, rather than having a conversation.
Okay.
Now let me give you some examples of all of this.
So the first thing is the election.
That should have never come up with Caitlin Collins.
Trump is going to bring it up anyway.
All right?
He was going to bring it up because he always brings it up.
And he's not going to back off no matter what you do.
Roll the tape.
That was a rigged election.
And it's a shame that we had to go through it.
It's very bad for our country all over the world.
They looked at it.
And they saw exactly what everyone else saw.
I've never spoken to a crowd as large as this, and that was because they thought the election was rigged.
And they were there proud.
They were there with love in their heart.
That was an unbelievable, and it was a beautiful day.
When you were in office, you said that you respected President Putin.
Do you still respect him today?
He made a tremendous mistake.
He made it. He's a smart guy.
I think it's a very sad thing for our country.
I think it's a very sad thing, frankly, for the world, because if you look at what's gone to our country, our country has gone to hell.
All right, so they're the greatest hits right there.
I mean, they just come down for you.
So there is a way to get at the rigged election thing.
Caitlin Collins was confrontational.
No, that's not true.
All right?
No, no.
Your people filed 60 lawsuits and they lost them all.
Actually, the number is 42 if you really want to cut it down.
But, all right, we'll just take the 60.
The way to ask that question is not to say you're a liar, Donald Trump, okay, is to say, you know, I'm looking at my research here, and the Trump organization filed 42 or 60, whatever number you want to use, okay, actions in court, and you lost them all.
How do you explain that, Mr. President?
And you ask it in that tone.
Okay.
So I did that, and I have a sound light.
I don't know if it's queued, but let's try to get it.
I did that on January 6th.
Okay, so Trump says, it's a beautiful day.
They were all there protesting.
Most of them were peaceful.
That's his line.
Okay.
Now, here's what I said in the history tour in 2021.
Go.
But now they say, you didn't act fast enough to quell the riot
as it was happening. How do you reply to that? Okay, now I didn't get an answer. He did not
answer that question. But I couldn't force him to answer it. However, I asked you to measure
tone. How to reply to people saying you didn't act fast enough to quell the riot? Because he didn't.
He waited about two and a half hours. But he's not going to answer the question. You have
to ask it. So Ms. Collins' tone, now you saw my tone, here's Caitlin's tone. Go.
But when it was clear to you that they were not being peaceful, you saw them rushing the Capitol,
breaking windows, they were hitting officers with flagpoles, tasing them, beating them up.
When it was clear, they weren't being peaceful. Why did you wait three hours to tell them to leave
the Capitol?
Okay. Trump didn't answer the question then.
He's never going to answer the question, ever.
Okay.
So you have a situation where you've got to know who your interview subject is.
And you've got to get as much out of that person as you can.
But some things you're never going to get from Barack Obama, from Hillary Clinton, from Donald Trump, from any politician.
They're never going to give you.
And that's where this thing went off the rails, okay?
And it got confrontational between Caitlin Collins and Donald Trump.
And that was a disservice, okay?
So pretty much at the end of it, it reached ahead, rule the tape.
But that's the question that investigators have, I think, is why you held onto those documents
when you knew the federal government
was seeking them and then had given you a subpoena
to return them. Are you ready? Are you ready? Can I talk?
Yeah, what's the answer? Can you mind?
I would like for you to answer the question. Okay, it's very simple
to answer. That's why I asked it.
It's very simple to you're a nasty person. I'll tell you.
She was being a wise guy or gal, whatever. That's why I asked it.
Again, you've got to control and discipline yourself.
You can be tough, but you can't, and then she steps out of that role.
and he heard the audience, they were Republicans, remember, and they were signing with Trump.
So, again, Ms. Collins did that because she was afraid that her left-wing constituency
would call her too soft on Trump.
Well, the left-wing constituency condemned that town hall every way you could condemn it.
So not only didn't Caitlin Collins get information as much as she could have as much as I would have
gotten, okay, because I told Donald Trump on a number of cases, you didn't answer the question.
You didn't answer it. And he doesn't care whether he answered it or not. So I'm sitting there.
I sympathize with, I sympathize with Caitlin Collins. So I learned under Mike Wallace, okay,
and Mike Wallace is the best interviewer of all time. And he kind of adopted me. He liked my style,
because my style was modeled kind of after him.
And I watched him.
You may remember when Mike Wallace interviewed the Ayatollah Khomeini,
one of the most heinous villains this earth has ever seen.
And he was in Tehran, and Wallace is sitting there with this monster, okay, this mass murderer.
And Wallace was basically conciliatory.
Okay?
You remember when he said, you know, I'm sorry I have to ask this.
I mean, he wasn't fawning, but he's.
was putting himself in a position not to create tension, but to get some answers, which Wallace
did. And I told him in he looked like a complete idiot. So there is a science to interviewing.
You have to be part surgeon and part prize fighter. I remember my interview with Barack Obama
in the White House before the Super Bowl when he had endorsed the Muslim Brotherhood.
to lead the country of Egypt, which to me was absolutely appalling, all right?
How can you put these thugs, these killers, and you give the President of the United States
seal of approval?
And I said that to him.
I said, really are you going to endorse the Muslim Brotherhood?
They're killers.
But I didn't say it in an accusatory way.
I'd like you to answer the question.
I didn't do that.
I got hate mail all over the place, okay, from people who hated Obama going, you didn't, you should, you, you, you know, they wanted me to crush him.
Just as far left wanted Ms. Collins to crush Trump.
You can't take the bait, all right, if you are an interviewer.
Anyway, Trump did what Trump wanted to do, which is a steamroll CNN.
That's number one.
B, get the grievance card up front.
Trump is running on one thing and one thing only.
When you strip it all away, Donald Trump is saying to Americans,
the country's going to hell, and I'm the only one that can stop it.
When you add up all of the stuff, okay,
he's not going to condemn the January 6 rioters.
He's not.
I will.
He won't.
Because he knows part of the MAGA movement sympathizes with him.
He knows that.
He's not going to condemn Putin, because if he gets reelected, he's going to have to deal
with Putin.
And he handled that Ukraine question.
She baited him, Caitlin Collins, baited him by trying to get him to say something about Putin,
bad about Putin.
And he said, look, I'm not going to call him a war criminal because I might have to negotiate
with him.
That's not how you negotiate with people calling them a war criminal.
And I just want the killing in Ukraine to stop.
That was Trump's best answer.
Okay?
And Trump then left the arena like Elvis, right, with, she didn't touch him.
Because the people who hate Trump are always going to hate him.
Always are going to hate him.
There's nothing he can do to stop them from hating him.
But his base, they are, feel the grievances that he feels.
They believe the election was, a big portion of them, believe the election was rigged.
Oh, that's a lie. That's a lie.
Is it a lie when Joe Biden says the board is secure?
Not.
But Biden believes it is.
Was the election rig?
No.
Trump believes it is.
It wasn't.
What happened was there were abnormalities like Zuckerberg pumping $200 million into 10 counties.
Where'd that money go? Where'd it go? You tell me New York Times? Anybody? Washington Post? Where'd it go?
Now that is serious. Dominion machines manipulating votes to Joe Biden? Foolish.
But Trump's not going to give you anything on anyway. He's going to list the grievances, border, crime.
inflation, and he's going to go, I can solve it all. I can stop Putin. I can keep
she contained. Could win. Absolutely could win. So he accomplished what he wanted to accomplish.
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. 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
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.
All right. Biden's schedule nothing. Again, he's blathering about historic conservation actions at 4 p.m. That's it.
And you go off to Delaware, do whatever he wants to do. He doesn't work for the people.
Now, earlier this week, we reported on an ABC News poll that had Biden's job approval rating at 36%.
You'll remember that. Here's what I said on the radio. Go. Expect some polling that props him up and a spate of articles.
celebrating his achievements. The media campaign should fail, as Mr. Biden will sink deeper into
incompetence. He will not be able to debate or even campaign much. So that's where we are
seven months before the primary voting begin. Okay, so I predicted a spate of articles saying
he's great, and I'll give you one coming up about the border.
polling the props him up.
Presto, it's Thursday, and here's a U-Gov poll.
Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden's handling your job?
Approve 50%.
Whoa!
Disapproved 47.
Wait, ABC's got 36%.
U-Gov has got 50.
Okay?
I knew that would happen.
Yes, I'm an Oracle.
That's why you're watching and listening to the no-spin news.
But here's something even more interesting.
on that. U-Gov's clientele, the people who pay them for polling results. Huffington Post can't get
further left. New York Times, CBS News, and The Economist magazine. You cannot get more left-wing.
So if you're running U-Gov poll, what are you going to give them?
I thought I'd point that out.
FBI says it's not in a hand over a whistleblower complaint
that charges President Biden, then Vice President Biden,
with a criminal scheme.
So the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed this memo
because the FBI had to take down what the police.
whistleblower said the FBI goes not going to give it to you wow okay now this is
Christopher Ray and he says basically look reporting by confidential human sources is an
important form of highly sensitive law enforcement information upon which the
FBI relies so we're not going to give you what this is is this is what Ray
always does can't comment this investigation have to protect our sources
He has a point here because we don't know, we the people, and Ray certainly won't explain it,
whether there's any credibility to this whistleblower or not.
So we don't know it.
But what Ray should do is invite Comer, the head of the judiciary, of the Oversight Committee,
and the ranking Democrat, to the FBI office to look at the memo.
that's what he should do
so if I'm Comer I'm mad
and I'm going to torture Ray somehow
I'm going to get him in
or Ray will say the same thing
I can't comment I can't comment I can't comment
but
Comer has a right to know what's in that memo
and so do we eventually
if there's any credibility to it
because we can't trust the FBI
and Christopher Ray to actually investigate anything
on Bill Biden can't
you know I mean Hunter Biden
Biden's going on for five years
They'll indict him next week. He'll get indicted on low-level beefs, but five years.
Okay. Border update. Now, here's where I get in when I said there'll be a spate of positive articles about Biden off the ABC News, Washington Post poll.
Washington Post's own poll had them at 36% job approval.
So here's the editorial board says to Washington Post today.
quote, Mr. Biden is right to end the use of Title 42, which under the federal government has
conducted an expulsion program masquerading as a public health initiative. He also deserves
credit for keeping migrant families together, a departure from President Donald Trump's
pitiless policy of separating them. Most of all, Mr. Biden should be applauded for taking
steps to vastly expand the admission of refugees, including hundreds of thousands from Ukraine
and Afghanistan, along with establishing wider legal pathways for others to enter.
the country. So the Washington Post is okay with open borders. That's what this means. Okay.
Ukraine and Afghanistan, there's nothing to do with this. They're coming in legally.
The Washington Post, oh, no, but I'm doing a good job. He's uniting the families. He's letting
everybody come on in. That's where they are. That's who they are. Okay, but now you see more
and more of this to prop Joey up. I shouldn't say Joey. That's disrespectful. I'm sorry.
To prop the president up, okay, as I predicted.
The border situation in the next week or so is going to be, this will probably disqualify Biden for any kind of hope that he could ever be reelected.
You will see hundreds of thousands of people mass across that border, and Biden's not going to be able to stop him.
He's not.
So it's now up to about 11,000 a day coming across.
That'll continue, and it's just, and more than a half million got away.
immigrants according to the border patrol these are people who don't ask for
asylum they just sneak in half million since October this is so far out of
control it's such it I don't think I've ever seen a worse public policy
disgrace than this this is just beyond anything I could ever imagine and here's
the director of Homeland Security Mayorkas go let me be clear
The lifting of the Title 42 public health order does not mean our border is open.
In fact, it is the contrary.
Our use of our immigration enforcement authorities under Title VIII of the United States Code
means tougher consequences for people who cross the border illegally.
Does anybody believe that man?
And he had to read it.
You saw him reading it.
So the board is not open.
Oh, no.
So does seven million come in since Biden's been in office?
How do they get in if the board is not open?
How?
In Trump's last year, I think it was 400,000 or 600,000?
And so now up to 3.5 million a year?
What are you doing?
All right.
You all know.
I don't have to convince you.
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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Now, one of the reasons that these people get away with what they do,
May Yorkers and Biden and all of that,
is that the media is on their side, as we just showed you with the Washington Post.
And for uninformed people, people who don't consume the news,
they don't watch the know-spin news, they don't go to bill o'Reilly.com,
read my columns.
Don't do any of that, okay?
They're just in their own bubble.
But they know celebrities.
They do, and they follow most of those bubble people.
follow celebrities. So Oprah Winfrey is probably the most powerful woman in the country right now,
I would say, certainly the wealthiest. And she deserves her wealth. I mean, this woman built
herself up for nothing. Terrible upbringing. Parents were chaotic. I mean, she's all over the
place. She did it on her own, which is why America is a great place. If a young black woman from
Mississippi with nothing can get into a position of being the most powerful woman in the
country, the country's got to be doing something right. Anyway, Oprah Winfrey gave a speech at
the Tennessee State graduation, Tennessee State primarily black college. Okay, and here's what
she said. Go. You witnessed the storming of the Capitol and the death of civility. You're
acutely aware that voting rights are being gutted, women's rights are being dismantled, books are
being banned. History is being rewritten. The Supreme Court is being corrupted. The debt
stealing is being held hostage. The climate is changing. The LGBTQ community, LGBT plus community
is under attack. Yeah, make sure you get the plus in there, Ms. Winfrey. All right, so let's go
over her beefs. And she's telling the kids this, it's like you live in a terrible country.
That's what she's basically saying. Okay, so like, number one, voting rights are being gutted.
2002 midterm election more people voted in the midterm than ever before 2020 presidential election more people voted than ever before
by how you back that up okay that's number one so that's not true that's number one women's
rights are being dismal she doesn't like the abortion thing she wants abortion on demand for any
reason Oprah Winfrey doesn't want any limitations okay
A lot of Americans want limitations on Bush, but over does not respect them because they're
violating women's rights.
What about the baby in the ninth month?
Any rights at all?
Ms. Winfrey?
Anybody?
Anything?
No.
Okay?
Just boom.
Take her out.
Take him out if you want to.
Books are being banned.
I don't know any books being banned.
I mean, maybe in some crazy school district someplace.
place. I mean, they don't want third graders reading about activities that they don't
understand, right? But I don't know any books being banned. I know gone with the wing can't be
shown on HBO. I know that's why that's been banned. One of the most successful moving
pictures of all time can't be shown on AP. HBO doesn't want it's not it's not woke.
Oprah? Okay, let's get the next one. History being rewritten. How? I'm the most successful
historian in the world. Nobody more successful sells more history books than me. How's history
being rewritten? Did I rewrite it? Any of my 12 killing books rewrite history? I did, let me know.
bill at bill o'reilly dot com name in town what what what do you mean history's being
rewritten i don't understand it tell me specifically where okay that's bs right supreme
court being corrupted how does that what does that mean all right if clarence thomas did
something wrong to investigate them and find out right how if that's your beef clarence thomas
and say, Clarence Thomas,
shouldn't it take on vacation trips from his friend
or whatever it may be?
Let's see what the rules are.
Let's see what Thomas did.
I'm for that.
But the Supreme Court, the whole court, corrupted?
I don't think so to my or would agree with that.
The debt ceiling being held hostage.
Yeah, because the federal government
is spending so much money,
the country is becoming bankrupt,
and inflation is rising
because we're printing too much money to pay our debt.
held hostage because you want to cut spending?
You have to cut spending.
U.S. government has to cut spending.
Has to.
But it's being held hostage, according to Oprah Winfrey.
The climate is changing.
Okay.
You want to know, you got 10 houses.
In fact, I snorkeled in front of your house in Turks Gakos.
It was a great house.
You're never there, according to your neighbors.
beautiful house and i was boom right in the ocean in front of your house so you would know
if climate was changed because you've got 10 houses and i think it's changing too and the plus
community lg plus is under attack where now i'm anti-bullying you bully a gay kid i'm right with that
kid. I'll stop you. I did when I was a high school teacher. I stopped that. But it seems to me
that gays have more freedom to express themselves now. They got parades. They got their own day.
They got their own flag. I'm not. So this is just far left clap track. Okay. It's just,
But all those kids graduating from Tennessee State
They riveted on this
But you can take this apart so easily
Again, I know Oprah a little bit
I was on a program once
She treated me very respectfully
Never a problem with her
And I don't disrespect her point of view
She wants to be a far left person, good
guess where you want to be you have a perfect right to be there but when you put this stuff
out as fact and it's not then i got a problem cancel culture so there is a football player
all right his name is matt arrasia 22 years old he was the best punter in college football
played for the san diego state aztecs he was drafted his sixth round by the buffalo bills he
He signed a contract worth $4 million.
A short time after that, he was accused along with other players at San Diego State of raping
a 17-year-old girl.
Erezia denied the allegations.
The Buffalo Bills fired him, cut him.
Now the prosecutor in San Diego says that Matt Erezia was not even in the building.
where this alleged rape took place that he had left the house hours before this crime took place
if there was a crime. It has not been adjudicated. So Arazia is off free. Canceled culture. Buffalo
bills cut him. He doesn't have a job now. He's the best punter in college football.
Doesn't have a job. Okay. So I'm sitting there going, the Buffalo bills, and I'm
rooted for them, should pay him the $4 million right now, today, write him a check, because
you didn't give him due process. And I'll never root for the Buffalo bills again. And by the way,
they're getting a new stadium up there in Buffalo, courtesy of the taxpayers of New York,
which is an abomination. Okay. And the second thing is that every team in the NFL should be
making an offer to this kid. He didn't do it. The prosecutors say he didn't do it. And now
22 years old, he had to face that. And the kid has issued a statement. It's a pretty
classy statement. Thanking the prosecutors. This is horrible. Victor Davis Hansen. He writes a column,
and he's a very good columnist, and you can get it at American Great Nixon. He talks about this
Jordan Neely, who was killed in the subway by a 24-year-old Marine because Neely was disrupting
and some say threatening the passengers. Oh, you know about this case. So Hansen is fact-based,
and he comes up with that Neely had been arrested 42 times. This is the guy who's dead.
Okay. He punched a number of people in the face, allegedly, including.
including a 67-year-old woman and a 68-year-old Hispanic male.
There was an act of warrant out for Neely's arrest at the time of his death.
Okay?
The news media neglected to mention that an African-American passenger helped subdue Neely in the incident.
Okay?
And the man had left a psychiatric center at his own volition, just walked out two weeks before.
So none of that was reported, or it wasn't widely disseminated.
And Hanson is a guy that you guys should read.
America is a youth drug crisis.
You know, I'm going to do this on Monday because we're running out of time.
But there's a study by the National Institute on Drug Use that shows legalization of pot is hurting children dramatically.
I predicted that.
On Monday, we will do it because there's a lot of facts here.
I don't want to zoom through it.
All right, smart life.
Now, if Caitlin Collins will sign up for my Bill O'Reilly interview summer camp,
I don't really have one, but maybe I should.
She'd be a lot better off.
She needs a mentor because, as I said, you're very bright and she's very,
she's going to be very successful in her life,
but she needs to know how to do it, all right, and she doesn't know.
And there's nobody there to teach her.
Now, why is this in the smart?
life because you need a mentor no matter how old you are you need somebody that you can call
and have a conversation with when there is subject comes up that you're not quite confident you
can deal with that's called a mentor now I got about 10 of them and I'm financial I got social
I got journalistic as I said the late Mike Wallace was one of mine Peter Jennings was a mentor for me
And I've been lucky in my life, but I've been smart too.
I pick out the best people, the most successful people, okay?
And I just have a conversation with them.
If you don't have mentors, people that you, especially on finances, finances and diet, okay, what to eat, what not to eat, those are the two most important for you.
Get them.
Think about it.
Write down names.
Develop a rapport.
Smart life.
Stay in history, May 11, 1989.
2,000 troops were sent by Bush, the elder to Panama, to supervise the Panama Canal because the dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, was running wild there.
One of the troops, an off-duty Marine, was killed by Noriega's forces, and then 27,000 U.S. troops went to Panama.
The DEA arrested Noriega, brought him to Miami.
He was convicted of drug dealing and all together spent 25 years in prison.
First time ever that a U.S. jury convicted a foreign leader and the foreign leader was jailed in the USA, then extradited to France, spent time in jail there, then went back to Panama and died at the age of 83.
And that started on this day.
I'm back with mail and a final thought in a moment.
All right, let's go to the mail. Don, hey, Bill, regarding the foreign payments to the Biden family,
suspicious activity, these events occurred before and apparently during the time, Bill Barr was Attorney General.
Was this information hidden from the public by Barr? No, because it broke when the Hunter Biden laptop was discovered.
And that was during Biden's term. So Barr didn't have anything to do with it.
I doubt Hunter Biden. This is from Al, concierge member. Al gets direct access to me.
I doubt whether Hunter Biden or other members of his family pay any price for their criminal actions.
Not so fast, Al. Due process. Hunter Biden is done. He's going to get convicted. He'll plead guilty.
Joe, looks bad. We've got to wait. More evidence is needed.
As I watch a press conference on Biden, I firmly believe the man and his family are corrupt.
That is your right to believe that.
My question is, as Biden was Vice President Obama, had to know what he was doing.
No, it didn't have to know.
President and Vice President, they're not even in the same building.
So I wouldn't go to that extent.
Jan Kubris, Concierge member, Jan, thank you.
Hey, Bill, why would they go solely for civil charges against Trump and not criminal charges?
but not criminal charges, because you could have never, ever convicted Trump of rape when
the woman didn't even know what year it happened. And neither did her two friends who she told about
it allegedly. Come on. I mean, it was, you could punch holes in that case all day long, all day
long. Tom Spurlock, Yorba Linda, California, John Wick mentality. That's correct. Sociological
grooming promotes mass chaos. The mental acceptance of anarchy is needed to promote chaos. That is
the Marxist playbook. You're right. They want to bring the country down, the far left.
Lucas Long, St. Paul, Minnesota, do you think we'll ever return to the days when our country
was united? I hope so. We need a charismatic leader to do that. That's what we need.
Carrie Stickle, Philadelphia. I'm happy to be back as a premium member. Why did you leave,
Carrie? Send me a letter. Why did you leave? Thank you for all your team does Bill.
wondering why you're not on a beach in Hawaii. I want to be on a beach in Hawaii. Okay, but I have
a mission. And now the mission is exploding because we're expanding so rapidly here. If you read
the Wall Street Journal article, we're the most successful independent news agency on Earth.
I just can't go to Hawaii as much as I would love to. I got stuff to do, as they say.
Lloyd Richmond, Farmington, Utah, Team Normal initiated our Mother's Day celebration.
She loves the mugs.

Word of the day do not be a Nimrod.
N-I-M-R-O-D.
Back with the final thought in a moment.
All right, here we go with the final thought.
We have posted on Bill.
O'Reilly.com some of the history tour to show you the difference between when I interview
Donald Trump and when CNN interviews Donald Trump.
Here's a little preview.
Go.
So I'm trying to assess Putin and she who between the two is a bigger threat to America?
When you have nuclear, everybody's a threat.
you still have an answer to my question. Who's more dangerous? I think, honestly, I think they're both
dangerous. It depends on what day you're talking about. All right. That kind of candor, there it is.
So it's on bill o'Reilly.com. You all can go. You don't have to be a premium member of concierge member. You should be.
Okay? You get lots of great stuff if you are. But I want everybody to take a look. And then you can compare and contrast.
So there's a way to do this, even with a very difficult interview subject like Donald Trump.
And he is difficult because, as we said, he and the turtles have their greatest hits.
Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpid News.
New column Sunday noon.
And we'll see you again on Monday.
