Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Wednesday, March 16th, 2020, stand up for your country. Very important news day today. We're going to tie a lot of things in. I hope you have a pen and paper. This is like a Ph.D. in world events watching and listening to the no-spin news. I mean, I don't want to brag because I, you know, I'm beyond that. I really am. But, boy, we give you so much more than any other news agency on television and radio that I know of. And I appreciate you watching and consuming it. So let's begin with, of course, the major story at Ukraine because its president, Zelensky, addressed the U.S. Congress. today. Now, this ties into Joe Biden's future and the future of the United States, which includes
Starting point is 00:01:11 you. It all is tying in, and I'm going to tell you how. So it's an important broadcast. So let's start off with Zelensky. So as everyone in the world knows, evil Putin is killing Ukrainians, civilians, by the thousands. And so decent people in the world want that to stop. It's an emotional thing. You see it every night on television. This horror, one man is doing this. I can't tell me the Russian people want this. They don't. But they're going to have to get rid of Putin themselves because he's got nukes. Okay. So Zelensky, he speaks for 19 minutes by remote and he was on time, 9 a.m. Eastern time, six Pacific. See, I would have done it a little later if I were him to get more of a Pacific audience in here. Remember, California is the biggest state in the
Starting point is 00:02:16 Union. He's in Kiev, all right, the capital of Ukraine, and the city is under siege by Russian forces. Okay, so that's the setup. Now, basically, Zelensky yesterday spoke to the Canadian parliament and today, the U.S. Congress, and he wants more weapons and he'd like to have a no-fly zone enforced by NATO. Okay, if you were Zelensky, if I was Zelensky, I'd be asking for that, too. You know, he wants to protect his country and keep his country for being enslaved, and that's the word, by Putin. That's what he wants. Okay, but it's complicated, as they say. So I'm just going to run a very short soundbite from Zelensky.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And he let you get the feel of what went on this morning. Roll it. Is this a lot to ask for to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine to save people? Is this too much to ask? It is too much to ask because it could directly lead to World War III. So if you put NATO American pilots up in the air and Russian Migs and the NATO forces are fighting,
Starting point is 00:03:34 all right, shooting each other down, that's World War III. It also gives Putin propaganda for his own country. Remember, his own country, they're not real thrill with him. now, they can't be. They're getting strangled economically. He could say, look, look, they're attacking us. Look at those planes. They're attacking us. And it gives solace to China to help Putin more. That's a big thing. And I'm going to get to that. So it's important that you know the big picture. So emotion says, yeah, no fly zone. Let's get in there and protect these
Starting point is 00:04:11 for Ukrainians. That's what emotion dictates. But this is a chess game, a lethal chess game. Okay. So Zelensky knows he's not going to get the no-fly zone. He knows that. But he put forth something that he could get, and I hope he does. A humanitarian no-fly zone. That would mean that NATO would say to Russia, we are going to have a, a corridor set up in Ukraine where refugees can go without fear of being killed, and you're going to respect that no-fly zone corridor. Okay? Now, that gives us the high ground, because it's only civilians that use that corridor to get to Poland
Starting point is 00:05:01 or to the Czech Republic or wherever they want to go, to get out from being killed. A humanitarian no-fly zone. Now, it wouldn't be patrolled by NATO because then again, you're getting into that shoot war situation. But if Putin violated it and started mowing down civilians trying to get out, that takes China out of the equation. because, well, you could say to child, is this what you support? Women and children being shot in a no humanitarian, no-fly zone? You see what I'm talking about? That could happen.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Now, Biden goes to Brussels next week, and that's number one on the agenda. Now, all this mig stuff and air power stuff and, you know, Zelensky wants this. And of course, he would want it. But Poland, as we have explained on this program down to the micro detail, won't send the Migs directly to Ukraine. If they did, that should be fine with everybody. All right? Poland wants to send it to Germany to a U.S. Air Force base and then have Americans fly it back
Starting point is 00:06:18 into Ukraine. Sorry. Okay. I told Hannity, we had a very spirited conversation, Sean Hannity and I today on the radio, I told Hanni, look, if you're president, you say to Poland, you want to put those planes in to Ukraine now, go ahead. But we're not going to fly them in because you're right on the border. It takes you 20 minutes to get those planes in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:45 So, again, very few people understand this. They don't really know what the subtleties are. But the kicker on this is, even if you give Ukrainians war planes, Russians are going to be. to blow them right out of the sky and blow them up on the ground. You know, the planes have got to base somewhere. I think the Russians are just going to let those planes base? They're going to just blow the hell out of them. So this is another myth that somehow war planes provided by NATO are going to tilt the conflict in the favor of Ukraine. They won't. Okay. So after Zelensky it's a standing ovation in the U.S. Capitol, Biden is supposed to speak at 1130. All right?
Starting point is 00:07:34 He's 90 minutes late or something, some crazy thing. He shows you a lack of discipline on the part of the White House. They can't do anything, right? He speaks for nine minutes. That's all. Takes no questions. All right? And I got two soundbites, but first I want to set up what Biden said in his nine minutes. He's going to give an additional 800 million in military aid to Ukraine. Remember, under the Trump administration, we did provide Ukraine with weapons, sophisticated weapons. Obama wouldn't. And who was vice president under Obama? Okay, just keep that in mind. So Biden, 800 million U.S. dollars in military aid to Ukraine. 600 Stinger missiles, 2,600 javelin missiles, rounds of ammunition, grenade launchers, all down the list.
Starting point is 00:08:31 So they'll get to Ukraine, but Lord knows if they're going to save any lives or not. I don't know. But you have to send them. I mean, there are pundits going, why are we sending? These people are fighting for their freedom and fighting for their lives. You've got to arm them. All right, you have to. And hopefully it'll do some good.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I know the planes would do no good, but the arms, these stingers and javelins, they can put a hurt on Russia. Not enough to tilt the war, but enough to cause pain. All right, two soundbites. The general soundbite for Biden to open. Go. It's about freedom. It's about the right of people to determine their own future. It's about making sure Ukraine never, will never be a victory for Putin, no matter what advances he makes on the battlefield.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Okay, good. All right. You state it up top. It's obvious what you got to state it. The second one is about the USA. Go. America stands with the forces of freedom. We always have and we always will. I want to thank you all and God bless you and I'm going to walk over and sign this legislative, sign this bill to allow the drawdown of those materials. Okay, the drawdown of those materials. He walks over, he signs the bill. That's the $800 million. and the stuff is in motion. Now, Biden didn't say anything else about a no-fly zone. He didn't say anything about Miggs, planes.
Starting point is 00:10:01 He didn't say anything about anything, okay? And he was smart to do that, all right? And I told Hannity today, we shouldn't be telling the Russians what we're going to give them and not give them. Why are we doing that? I mean, you've got a list of stuff here that, why? Why ain't telling Putin how much arms you're going to, to send to Ukraine. You think he's going to be scared? He's not. The only thing that's going to stop Putin
Starting point is 00:10:27 is if Russian people get restive. Word of the day, R-E-S-T-I-V-E, restive. It's the only thing that's going to stop the man. All right? If the military sees that there are enormous Russian casualties, that could have some bearing on this. So stop with, we're doing this, with doing that. You don't have to say it. You do have to say, I'm not going to do a no-fly zone. Biden has clearly said that. Okay. So what's the strategy on this? As I said, it's a chess game. There are two things in play right now that no one knows about, but you are going to hear it right this minute. The first is this is as much about China as any other country. I mean, we got to take Putin out. We got to crush Putin. China's watching this very closely, because,
Starting point is 00:11:22 because it wants to invade Taiwan. We all know that, okay? If the world unites against Putin, China is going to see that. And economic sanctions against China would hurt that country more, far more, than economic sanctions against Putin, okay? Because China is the second largest economy in the world. Russia is 17. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:49 So China is watching all this, watching world reaction. to this. The more you can villainize Putin, if say he attacks civilians in the no-fly humanitarian corridor, the harder it makes for Xi to do what he wants to do. Everybody understand that. China's big here. The second thing is Biden himself. He knows he's through. The Democratic Party knows he's done. It's going to be a historic landslide for the Republicans in November. it can't come back fast enough to help Biden. With the wholesale price number announced yesterday at 10%, inflation is going to extend deep into the autumn.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Biden is toast in the midterm election. They know it. Everybody knows it. Now, the Democratic Party, and I'm going to deal with this a little bit later, doesn't want Biden to run again, and he will not run again. but they have to find someone else. But they can't say that. But they know that Biden can't lead this country.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Anyone with a brain knows that. If you are having a conversation with someone you know and they say that Biden is a good leader, he's doing a good job, you've got to say, hey, you know, it's getting late. You can't engage. If they're not smart enough to understand how bad a president Joe Biden is, and I'm not saying this out of any ideology or party or anything like, like that. He's just incompetent. All right. The only thing that could save him if he does run
Starting point is 00:13:28 again, which I don't believe you will, is that Biden kept us out of World War III. Biden kept us out of World War III. Remember that. That is in their minds at the White House right now. and the Democratic Party as well. Because if Biden doesn't run again, it's not like going to boot him. They're not going to boot him. He's going to say, ah, you know, I've got a pain on my shoulder. I really am going to be 82 years old.
Starting point is 00:13:58 You know, it's time for me to pass the torch. And the Democrats, oh, that's right, Joe, you're such a great as guy. He kept us out of World War III, so vote for whoever. Okay? All right. So last night on Frontline on PBS, PBS liberal network, but you all know what it is. They did an hour on Putin, and the first 35 minutes of it was very good.
Starting point is 00:14:25 It traced how Putin rose in power and how he convinced Boris Yeltsin, the president of Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that he, Putin really loved democracy. He was a reformer, and he really wanted to do this and all of that. But, of course, he was lying. He's an autocrat. He's a totalist. But Yeltsin bought it. Okay? For the first 35 minutes of front line, it was good. Hard news, good.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Then, as they always do at PBS, they tilt in to the politics. So the first thing was they had to bring it up to modern times, and they had to deal with Crimea eight years ago, where Putin just went in, March, and it took it. Who was President? Barack Obama. Who was Vice President? Joe Biden. Those two allowed Putin to take Crimea illegally. A couple of soft sanctions.
Starting point is 00:15:25 No big deal. He took it. All right. They glossed over that in a minute. They showed you a picture of Obama, no Biden, okay? And they said, well, maybe this wasn't so good. Then they segue into Trump. Okay? And I have two bites. The first one is basically, no, I combine them into one bite. So, no, I got two. I'm sorry. I got to figure this out here. I got two bites for you.
Starting point is 00:16:02 The first one is PBS, Frontline, then goes and says that Trump emboldened Putin, that all of this now is because of Trump run the first. by go as they held their first summit the long anticipated meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin it was clear that in Trump Putin had a very different American president all of a sudden there's this president of the United States who is a Putin groupie he's a Putin fanboy the things the things President Trump said about his admiration for Vladimir Putin the way he called NATO's mutual defense pledge into question must have seemed like an amazing gift to
Starting point is 00:16:56 Vladimir Putin. Okay, total propaganda. Total. Now, I'm going to run another soundbite because I want to wrap up my analysis with you having seen and heard both soundbites. Go for number two. President Putin denied having anything. to do with the election interference in 2016.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Every U.S. intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did. My first question for you, sir, is who do you believe? My people came to me, Dan Coates came to me, and some others. They said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Okay. So Trump is standing right next to Putin. What do you expect him to do? Go, yeah, he did it. Yeah, O'Vlad is a bad, bad guy. He did it. Bang. American-Russian relations down the drain for as long as Trump serves, right?
Starting point is 00:18:01 Couldn't do it. So he chose his words carefully. I don't see any reason why it would be. Trump knew they did it. He knew, but he made the calculation that to call out Putin, especially when they're on the stage together and Trump is trying to bring Putin down so he doesn't cause trouble would be bad for the country. Would you have made the same decision? I would have. I would have because it was a chance that Trump could make an arrangement with Putin so that Putin
Starting point is 00:18:36 didn't do what he did in Ukraine and for four years that chance was reality. Putin did not do anything like this under Trump. And recall this Glasser Woman is a far-left MSNBC person, and why are they using her in a hard news broadcast? Why? Come on, PBS, a fanboy, you know, a groupie. What a bunch of crap. Now, tomorrow on this broadcast, I'm going to string together a bunch of soundbites about Putin from Donald Trump from the history tour, stuff you haven't seen because he does, you know, I asked him about Putin in all four shows. I'm going to put them together and you get an idea. But Trump was right. Trump did not want a war with Russia or China. He didn't back down, all right? He scolded NATO because NATO wasn't
Starting point is 00:19:38 paying its defense dues. And Trump said, look, we're paying all the money to defend you against Putin. You got to kick in. That's all he did. And that have these morons go, called NATO's mutual defense pledge into question. He wanted him to pay the dues, you propagandists. Oh, it just drives me crazy, the dishonesty of PBS and every other corporate broadcast company in this country. Oh, it drives me nuts. So Trump was successful in neutralizing Putin. As soon as Trump left, what did you see? Afghanistan. Did PBS mention that in there? They didn't mention Joe Biden's participation in Afghanistan. They said Putin saw Afghanistan in a chaotic withdrawal. They didn't mention Biden, not PBS. Nope. That's when this decision was made, the decision to invade Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:20:46 After the weakness Biden showed and Millie showed, Millie, the commander of the joint chiefs of staff, okay, the weakness they showed, Putin said, all right, okay, that's what I'm dealing with. dealing with Trump anymore. I'm not dealing with Pompeo anymore. I got these people. I'm going to do what I want. That's exactly what happened. Okay. If you have any questions, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. But in 21 minutes and 19 seconds, every word I told you is true. Okay. Now there's a poll by the Wall Street Journal. they ask people, do you think Biden's going to run again? 52% of Americans say he is not going to run, right?
Starting point is 00:21:39 Only 29% expect him to run for a second term. 29%. Okay, 19 don't know. Among Democrats, 41% of Democrats say they don't think Biden's going to run again, and he's not. Now, I'll get into that in another day and another time. you all know the poll numbers you all know inflation you all know the chaotic state that we're living in in america today this is no way he's going to run again all right so let's bring in a guy who does this for living who analyzes politics for living sees down the road i want to
Starting point is 00:22:15 advance the story his name is bob charles he comes to us from phoenix arizona he's a director of communications for first strategic okay so all bob does to make a living is politics. You know, I feel sorry for you, Bob. I mean, I do a lot of politics, but I do other stuff. I don't know what I do if I just all politics. But anyway, in my analysis, have you seen anything that you disagree with, number one? Quick and easy answer, no. I can expound on that a little bit. Right. Nowadays, it's assumed that the president is going to run for re-election. The last president that didn't was Lyndon Johnson. And to the point with the 29%, 29% of people are looking
Starting point is 00:23:05 at Joe Biden and saying, yeah, he's going to run again. I got to tell you, Bill, if I'm running your campaign and you're running for reelection and I see that number, I figure out a way to pull you out of that race. So yeah, he's not running again. Okay. So I sit on the radio today, the Democrats don't have any viable candidates, certainly not Kamala Harris. She's polling worse than Biden and looks like a 12-year-old when she gets into
Starting point is 00:23:32 a situation where she has to articulate danger if she can't. So she's off the board. Governors, I guess there are a few Democrat governors they could put out, but do you see anybody who could give the Republicans at this juncture? Things can
Starting point is 00:23:48 change, of course. A run in 2024? No. And then there's, I got to say, there's not somebody that jumps out. And have you look at maybe Biden's cabinet, you got a Buttigieg or, you know, maybe read tread trying Beto or somebody like that. But no, there's nobody that jumps to the front. No, there's no way. There is a Democrat who could give the Republicans a run. And her name is Michelle Obama. Okay. So that's what I said on the radio today. I said, no Hillary Clinton, Americans don't like Hillary Clinton. She wants it and she's raising money, but if Michelle Obama decides to run, and she would not decide until very late, okay, and she obviously I've said she doesn't have any interest, she doesn't want to do it, but Michelle Obama is the only Democrat in this country at this juncture who could give the Republicans as things stand now a race. Do you agree? she would be formidable because of not just who she is, but there's an emotional appeal. There's a younger appeal. There's the energy that, frankly, I mean, I don't mean this is any disrespect to the president,
Starting point is 00:25:05 but he is showing his age. And at 79s, you know, to be in his 80s is this next term. People look at that and they say, no way. That's where Michelle Obama, young, and vibrant, been around, people could get, she could inspire. Yeah, and she'll get the minority precincts to support her, and she'll raise a ton of money, probably record-breaking amounts of money, but she's a very, very liberal woman, and her husband didn't really do that well in eight years. Now, that won't matter to the ideologues,
Starting point is 00:25:36 but to the independence, Bob, as you know, in Arizona, independence are huge now, okay? Independence will decide the next presidential race. So she's not a lock to win, but she is a lock if she wants it for the nomination, right? Absolutely. And then when you mentioned the independence, especially in Arizona, Arizona is now one of the most important states in the entire nation when it comes to determining an election. Should those independents swing, which now, by the way,
Starting point is 00:26:07 I don't know if you know this, Maricopa County, the largest county in Arizona, has just in the last month become primarily independent. Right. Is the major voting block. Bob, I know everything about Arizona. There's nothing I don't know about the entire state because it's my business to know. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Last question, do you agree with me that the midterms will be a slaughter and the Republicans, you know, they'll take both houses, I believe, and they may even have veto-proof majorities. Let me give you two points. There has never been, you can look at it statistically, under Trump, Obama, Clinton, 94. Anytime a president has entered this stage of the race in the approval ratings wherever they're at, they have lost majorities in the house. So if I look at statistics, I say absolutely Biden. I'm sorry. You are going to lose a lot of votes in the house. That doesn't mean that we still can't snatch that victory away. If we continue to talk about things that are not things people don't care about, then we can't. We can mess this up as Republicans. We can blow this opportunity. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:20 All right, Bob. We appreciate it very much. Thank you. And let us move along now to another poll, Rasmussen. It's about higher gas prices. It's a simple poll. How serious of a problem are rising gasoline prices for your personal budget? Serious or very serious, 81%.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Not serious, 18. I guess they're the ones who lives in Palm Beach. All right. Not West Palm Beach, the difference? Pombage. 81%. Okay. Has the rising gasoline caused you to drive less?
Starting point is 00:27:55 59% yes, 39% no. Has the rising gasoline cause you to reduce spending on other purchases? 61% less, no 35, and that signals a recession. Consumer spending is dropping fast because of inflation. I hate to give you that kind of news, but you got to prepare. And my final thought is going to tell you how. So hang tough for this broadcast. All right, so gas prices are so bad that Uber is raising its price 50 cents a trip. I don't know what that means. I don't take Uber. I don't even know what Uber is, but I know my urchins take it. So just so you know.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Now, all of this gas and pain because of Biden's mismanagement of fossil fuels has doomed the climate change warriors, at least temporarily. So John Kerry and his merry men and women, Hollywood zealots, bye-bye, as Steinfeld once said. It's open. Americans are saying, look, we're getting. hurt we want more drilling we want more fossil fuels available period tick tock no idea okay i'm sorry but i just don't have time for this kind of stuff tick tock is a chinese company all right and it specializes in people putting short form videos on the net and they include prank stunts tricks, jokes, dance, entertainment, 15 seconds to three minutes. That's TikTok. Okay? All right. So the White
Starting point is 00:29:55 House, this is unbelievable, unbelievable. The White House gets 30 TikTok influencers to come or talk to a guy named Matt Miller. I guess I just talked to him, all right, special advisor for communications at the White House. And Miller tells the influencers at TikTok that the high gas praises aren't Biden's fault. Whereupon the TikTok influencers put this propaganda on the internet. Go. I had the opportunity to ask the White House white gas down the street is $7 and here's what they said. The obvious reason, we're getting out of a two-year pandemic when use goes up price goes up now with Putin starting this horrific fight between ukraine and russia nobody wants to work with him and do an international trade okay i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not there are 15 million voters between
Starting point is 00:31:03 18 and 24 15 million okay in order for biden to win again every one of them would have to go to the polls and vote for him, which they won't. Okay, that's what this TikTok is all about. Okay, southern border, open border, Joe Biden. Yay, good policy, Gerald, right? Open border. So we do this every month in the month of February, 165,000 migrants were engaged by border patrol agents, up 60% since February, 2,000.
Starting point is 00:31:41 21. When Biden was president, but the open border policy hadn't kicked in, all right, entirely like it is now. Joe Biden's border policy is, don't stop anybody. Come on in. All right. Now, along with that, the fentanyl and heroin comes in. Has Biden beefed up the border, even in the face of this amazing surge of migrants across the southern border? No, doesn't beefed it up, building a border wall? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ordered by a federal court to get Trump's policy remain in Mexico back, Biden says he's doing it, but it's a slow walk. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.
Starting point is 00:32:26 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. The Rue, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better
Starting point is 00:33:05 Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as a I do. Please call 866, 326, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5-7576, or text bill to 998899. All right, one media story quick. Nobody really cares about the evening news anymore. Maybe 20 million people watch it over the three every night, mostly older people. So this morning after Zelensky speech, NBC trotted out Lester Holt, ABC trotted out David Muir, the two anchors on their nightly newscasts. But CBS used Gail King, the morning woman, the morning host. So Nora O'Donnell didn't show up. That means Nora O'Donnell is out. Maybe not right away, but don't expect Nora to be there much longer. This day in history, March 16th, 2014, eight years ago, as we mentioned, Crimea votes
Starting point is 00:34:15 to join Russia. Oh, I bet you it was a fair vote, don't you? And that was one good thing in the Frontline documentary last night, that they explained how Putin rigs all the votes. You could see it. They had video of it. So that was eight years ago. 97% of people voting in Crimea backed joining Russia. Yeah, sure. All right, quick break. Then we'll be, do the mail and a final thought that I think is pretty important.
