Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022, stand up for your country. It was a madhouse here today. I got an urchin going to Ireland and play lacrosse. Oh, my God. just to get that organized, the equipment and everything, and then Pelosi's in Taiwan and the waxen terra leaders. It's just on and on.

I'm sure your life is like that too. It never ends. Who else is going to come through that door? So anyway, we'll get to the Pelosi story in a few minutes, but Tara leads this evening. That is the subject of the talking points memo, Dron. kills the al-Qaeda leader. Iman al-Zarahiri. Now, I know his name is pronounced another way,

but I don't care. I'm calling him Azarhii. Now, we write about him extensively in killing the killers, and now that book takes on an amazing amount of importance because exactly how Soleimani got it. He was the Revolutionary Guards leader in Iran, uh... was how zara here he got it

exactly the same only solomani was in a car zahari in a house so zahari july thirty first uh... six a m boom from space and again that weaponry is described how it works and how it the whole thing goes down and killing the killers okay it was in the shirper neighborhood of Kabul afghanistan i have been to Kabul

i don't know the city that well i don't know where the shirr neighborhood is. But I can tell you, and I will tell you, how this went down by our inside sources in a moment. Ozhariri was born in 1951, 71 years old, in Giza, Egypt. Terrible, awful, killer, jihadists from the jump. And when bin Laden was killed by U.S. Special Forces, here's what Al-Zar-Hiri said, go. When he was the sheik he's he's called

with the great and he's after the people of the people of 19 who they were

the Ubal of America in the Pintagoon at the command of their military and

New York the rams of its power of and was the tairair

in the way to either to the White or or the Congress and he's

all right so most people say rest in peace not me uh i think he's where he should be right now and that is suffering for eternity that's how uh evil a man this was now uh president biden made an announcement last night in prime time go no we we uh we make it clear again tonight that no matter how long it takes no matter where you hide. If you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out. Good. And this is, the timing is ironic because we did a big special last week defending America for Bill O'Reilly.com premium members, and we got into all of this, and then four days later, Zauer here he gets it. So I'm going to play you just a 60-second clip from the defendant.

America special. And if you haven't seen it, you're a premium member. You certainly can see it anytime you want. And if you sign up for premium membership, again, you get to see it anytime you want. And it's well worth seeing. Okay? So here's a bit of defending America go. On the foreign terrorism front, we're pretty well protected, even under Joe Biden, who doesn't know much about this at all. And that's because the Trump people are still in place, most of them, and the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency in all of our agencies that operate in a foreign territory. So the CIA, as you probably know, can't operate in the United States.

That's the FBI. So once a terrorist gets here, the FBI takes it over from the CIA. But overseas, the CIA and the National Security Agency, NSA, based in Maryland, they have the surveillance responsibilities. Surveillance responsibilities are very, very important. And the United States surveillance is the best that's ever existed anywhere in this world because of our space weaponry and surveillance apparatus up there. And again, in killing the killers, I bring you through all of this.

Okay, so how do you get Zahari? So in Afghanistan, I mean, you hear all of this stuff over the horizon and all of this BS, and that's what it is, it's propaganda. garbage. Whenever you hear that, just turn off the TV set or whatever. That's not what's happening here. So the Central Intelligence Agency, Mossad, which is the Israeli agency, and M16, which is the British intelligence. Those three are very active in Afghanistan because that's where Al-Qaeda is reconstituting. Now, when I say active, there aren't like James Bond people there. There are what they call assets. Assets are paid people.

people, Afghans, who then supply information to the Western intelligence agencies. Okay? They were very well paid. The guy who fingered Al-Zar Rahiri in Kabul, he's a millionaire for the rest of his life, okay? Because the bounty on Al-Zar-A-Hiri was, I think it was 25 million. So anyway, these assets are in Afghanistan, and they regularly provide information to the USA, Israel, and Great Britain.

How do they do that? In a variety of different ways, they do it. If they get caught, they'll be executed by the Taliban, so it's pretty dangerous. But they're pretty substantial in Pakistan as well. All right, so we have eyes on the ground all over that. It's not over the horizon. It's nonsense. It's just garbage.

I mean, I shake my head. But Americans don't know. And that's why I wrote killing the killers to give you some education. foundation and how this whole thing works because someday you're going to want to know and and i hope you want to know now so anyway the asset uh obviously picked up the zaraheri was in Kabul in that neighborhood and then basically the uh american forces had to see if there was anybody else in the house because they don't want to whack civilians even though Biden did that in the chaotic pullout of Afghanistan last August.

So there were innocent civilians killed by the Biden administration. It was ridiculous. They didn't know what they were doing. But now, from the sky, drones can see, once they get the address, once I know where the house is, they can see in and out. You can see people coming in and out, even from space. My most startling fact in killing the killers is that from 13 miles up, or is it, yeah, I think it, be three miles up, between three and 13 miles up, the drone can read the name of a golf ball in a fairway. Okay, so they can see what they have to see. So they were assured or relatively

assured at 6 a.m. that is our hero, he was there by himself and back. He's dead. Now, this sends a chill all throughout the world, not only to the jihadists, but to our enemies in China and Russia. Because we can do the same thing to them. We can't do it realistic. because there'd be a nuclear war, but we can do it. Literally, I mean, Putin, he could be dust in a second. And the other nations, China and Russia, don't have what we have yet. They will. They don't have it now. That's an inhibitor. All right, so they know they pull the trigger, they start anything. It's going to be them. They're not going to get, they're not going to be Barrett. They know that. So this is a good thing. This is 100% positive. Political front,

you know, good, Biden got him. Fine. Now, I have no problem with Biden getting them. Maybe read the prompter, he was staring at it like this. I watched him closely. Somebody wrote it for him. But that's all right. Keep getting them. You know, we got a big ISIS problem now in Africa. Big. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rise. 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. Theroux, 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 and precious medals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. please call 866, 326, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899. Okay, so Joe Biden today didn't do anything. He still got COVID, and he had a virtual thing with Whitmer, the governor of Michigan. Whitmer's trying to, you know, stop all the anti-abortion stuff in her state. That's all they did. And okay, fine. No problem. Now, this was a pretty stunning thing. As you know, I'd say

85% of the press is pro-Biden. You know, they just love the liberal line. And they, because Biden is a Democrat, they support him. So does a website call Axios? I never go on it, because I know what it is. And the guy who runs it, the co-founder, I should say, I don't know if he runs it now, but he's a co-founder. This is a startling soundbite. Where do you hear this? Go. Yeah, so the headline on Axios, we are Reagan. That's what a Biden confidant told me. And here's what they have in mind. Like you and I can say that President Biden has had a series of breaks after not being able to catch a break for a year, everything including baby formula lining up on his desk. The Biden view is that he is, this is a payoff of vindication

for playing the long game. So when that confidence said, we are Reagan, their extension of that was we had a big plan and it's getting in place. Yeah, the big plan was to ruin the country and it's getting in place. Now, this nitwit, Alan, he thinks, this is great that Biden's going to make a comeback like Reagan did, okay? It's preposterous. Number one, Biden's responsible for the inflation. The Reagan wasn't. Reagan inherited all the bad economy from Jimmy Carter. Number two, Biden's responsible for the open border, which is just a catastrophe. When you combine the undocumented migrants coming in into millions and all the narcotics, it's, I've never seen anything like it. Most incompetent policy of

ever seen. And number three, the crime all throughout the United States. It's almost unimaginable five years ago that this would be happening. It's all because of Biden. And this guy gets on it. Oh, yeah, he's going to make her comeback like Reagan. Look, I don't care what he says. Doesn't matter to me. I don't go on the Internet to get my news. That's insane to do that. It's a place. It's a Playpen. But it's my job to point out how ridiculous this is. This whole thing is. The media in America. All right, Pelosi. So she goes to Taiwan. She landed tonight because they're, I don't know, what, 12, 14 hours ahead over there, something like that. So she lands Tuesday night in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. I have been there. I would never go back. I'll explain that some other time.

Anyway, why she's there, I don't quite know. No one knows. So he called to Pelosi's office. And Pelosi says, well, we're over there to discuss trade and other stuff, shared interests. Whenever you hear that, you know, it's BS, including advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific region. I don't know. We have business with Taiwan, all right? We buy high-tech stuff, software from them. They make stuff, chips and things like that. I understand.

But there's no reason for her to go there. She's also, where else is she going? She's going to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan. All right. You know, she's got five other Democratic congressmen with her, no Republicans would go. Is it smart to go to Taiwan? No, not particularly smart.

Not going to get anything done. But once it was announced and then Beijing threatened the USA, then every American got to go, okay, it's not smart, but don't pull out. Because if you pull out, we look weak. We look like we're caving to the Chinese threats, right? so you can't pull out once it was announced Pelosi was going can't you just can't all right so americans should understand that but Biden who's scared his spokesperson says this go we have said we have repeatedly said that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side

We have said that we do not support Taiwan independence, and we have said that we expect cross-strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. All right, you know, that's fine. We don't need to spit in the eye of Xi and the communists in Beijing. We can say, all right, look, solve your problems peacefully, don't invade and start a war. But that statement shows weakness. Although I understand Biden needed to send a signal the Xi that we're not going to get behind Taiwan independence. We're not going to support that they're a separate country, which they are.

They have a capitalistic system there, and they don't oppress people like the totalitarian communists do in Beijing. All right. So, a complicated world. Come to us and we'll tell you what's going on. So let's go to the oil gouge. So Biden is yelling at the oil companies for making obscene profits because of the jump in the price of oil. Well, Biden's right, okay, with a caveat. Let's show the, this is second quarter profits, just second quarter profits.

ExxonMobil, almost $18 billion in the second quarter alone. Chevron, almost $12 billion. shell almost 12 billion and just in a quarter that's their profit it's unbelievable all right to put it into perspective um this is in 2019 right get it up the exit of oil gain 3.13 billion gain 4.1 and then shell 3 billion That was before COVID. Can't count COVID. So you could see how astronomically, the profit for the major oil companies has exploded. Now, when inflation hits, and everybody needs to understand that, not only do the companies, whether they be oil companies, food companies, clothing companies, not only do they add the inflation to the price, but they add on.

little what they call VIG in mafia circles, a little profit. Because they know, you know, you don't know what it is. You're not, you don't have a calibrator about how much those oranges cost. You don't know. They throw a little in there. That's what the oil company's doing. See? So Biden's right when he says the oil company, but it's not the oil company's fault that Biden attacked the fossil fuel industry, making it more difficult to harvest oil. in the USA. So if you make it more difficult to grow oranges, then orange juice is going to go up in price because you don't have as much of it. Got it? Has everybody got it? Biden did that to oil. That's what he did. He'll never admit it, but they know Putin. Oh, Putin, the oil

company. He is so incompetent, Joe Biden, it's just beyond belief. But again, You know that, and we've proven it a thousand different ways. So in addition to the unbelievable profits, the oil companies, the stockpile of crude, the reserve. In the United States case, something happens, has fall to its lowest level since 1985. Why? Because Biden's taken oil out of the reserve and selling it. Not only here, but China got some of it. Well, I know Biden won't say. Maybe it was a bribe to keep, to not shoot down Nancy Blosy play.

I don't know. But now we got a very low level of oil reserve because of altogether Biden. Okay. So I get a lot of letters about Russia's not paying a price, blah, blah, blah, boom, blah. I want to play you a soundbite from my. March 2nd of this year. All right. Again, I'm not trying to tell you what a genius I am. I'm trying to show all of our listeners on the radio and watchers on TV that we are a serious news agency that rarely makes a mistake. This is what I said. I was talking to Senator Joseph Lieberman on March 2nd,

2022. Go. The economy is done, too, if the sanctions, if they keep the sanctions in place, you can crush him. The Russian people are going to suffer grievously in the next few months. And they may overthrow this man, which is, I think,

the hope of the West. Obviously talking about Putin. Well, now a Yale study out just out. Yale. Big Yale. All right. Says the Russian economy is in deep trouble. Quote, Russian imports have largely collapsed and the country faces stark challenges, securing crucial

inputs, parts, and technology from hesitant trade partners, leading to widespread supply shortages within its domestic economy, unquote. Russia has lost 40% of its gross domestic product since the sanctions, 40%. Now, can Putin last? Will the Russian people rise up and overthrow him? they're all suffering because of the sanctions. And that's the true. Now, I know other commentator, particularly conservative commentators, said, oh, no, no, these sanctions aren't working. Not true. They are working. But Putin has a very, very powerful secret police. You say one word against Putin. You write one word against Putin. He'll kill you. Or at the very least send you to a gulag. You got a very tight grip like Maduro and Venezuela. Okay, very tight grip. So we can't

count on that, but it could happen. Yale study. All right, back home, um, the first person, capital rider who stand, who stood trial, gets seven years in a federal penitentiary. His name is Guy Reffitt, 49 years old, Wiley, Texas. He was convicted of civil disorder and entering and remaining on restricted grounds with a firearm. Now, that's why he got the seven years. This guy took a gun to the riot. You got a gun inside the Capitol. You're going. So that's what happened there study at a lancet which is a very prestigious uh psychiatry journal just release study potent marijuana creating addicts worldwide told you all right cannabis use disorder people unable to stop using marijuana even though it's causing health and social problems in their

lives up 76 percent in europe legalized pot. Yeah, it's great. Okay. Okay. Told you. They don't care about Lansett studies anyway. Just want the money. I don't care how many DUIs there are. This want the money. Let's tax marijuana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. There's a new COVID Vax coming according to ABC News. All right. Five billion dollar investment by the federal government and Moderna and Pfizer said they have new formulas of the COVID VACs. And it'll be available to September 1st. I got four doses of this Vax, not getting another one. Not going to do it.

Enough's enough. I want to see a study on what the new Vax from Moderna and Pfizer will do for me. I want it in writing. If I don't get it in writing from the CDC, and I don't want Fauci giving it to me because he's not a truth teller. I'm not getting a Vax. Not going to do it. Had enough. I haven't gotten COVID, but I know people in my own family heavily Vaxed, who got it,

and they had a hard time with it. So you're going to tell me it mitigates the COVID? Well, these people had a hard time. So Biden has got like 18 Vaxes. He's got it twice now. Explain it to us. Federal government? No.

Joining us now from Patterson, New Jersey, Dr. Bob Luhita, who is the director of the Institute for Autoimmune and Rehumatic diseases in the St. Joseph's healthcare system. I don't know how you get that on a business car there, doctor. I can't even say it, but you know about immunity, okay? So am I being an idiot not getting a new vaccine or what? No, you're not an idiot. And there are a lot of people who are telling you. telling me that they're not going to be vaccinated again. Many people, as you know, and I know, including the President of the United States, has been vexed and he's been boosted, and you've been boosted twice, I've been boosted once, and continue to get COVID. And I had COVID about a month ago after my booster.

So, you know, this is a very unusual virus, Bill, and it's a virus that, like the common cold, recurs and evades the immune system. good news is it's an upper respiratory virus and it doesn't cause much damage like the delta variant did back in the early days which attacked the lower respiratory system and killed everybody and we were on the front lines for that and i hope that never happens again but let me let me stop you there so the virus mutates in different forms it comes back it goes in it goes out but at this point what you're telling me doctor is that you perhaps the foremost expert in immunology in the United States don't have any confidence in this

new vaccine yet. Is that what you're telling me? Well, no, that's not what I'm telling you. I'm saying that if they design an omicron specific towards a number of possible mutations, which is possible, because they do this with messenger RNA, and they can take out a fragment of the viral genome and reproduce it in the laboratory. And that's what we'll be injected into you as a very specific messenger RNA against Omicron and the BA variants going after five. If that happens, and there will be data because the FDA doesn't approve anything without that, then I'll get it. But it isn't there. It's not there now. I haven't seen it because we're watching it. Not there now. And what you just said, nobody's going to understand that unless you have

the medical degree. So it's got to be put in in terms of what do you have and what is it going to do? But you know, we've been led down this path before and that's the problem. In the beginning they said, okay, we got a Vax and the Vax is going to prevent you from getting COVID. That proved untrue. Then they said, well, we got another Vax and then if you take this, you won't get COVID as bad. Now, I guess that's true to some extent, but not all Stets. Correct? That's correct. It depends on your immune system. And everybody's different. And that has to do with your genetics. It has to do with your environment. It has to do whether you drink too much, you smoke too much, you take illicit drugs, or you're extremely poor. And your immune system

doesn't have the proper nutrition. Then, and then you can get a very mild virus, which will kill you. And so this is the, this is like a crapshoot. We don't know. Yeah, it's the X factor on how strong a person you are physically. Okay. So I would like you to keep an eye on this for us. You'll be our go-to guy. When the new data comes out about this new VACs, whatever it may do, we'll have you back on and you can explain it so that everybody, even I understand it, which is not easy. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometime. But now that I have you here, I want to talk about a campaign that I'm on, and I want to get your opinion on it. So about a year ago, I knocked out most sugar in my diet, okay, because I've

believe that sugar suppresses the immune system. And the more sugar you have in your system, the more you take in, the more prone you are to chronic disease, and the weaker you are internally. Since I've stopped the sugar, and there are a lot of good substitutes now, food and beverage products, you know, I have a lot more energy and my physical well-being has been heightened. Is that your experience? that is my experience and you know it goes very well with the epidemic of diabetes type two that we have in this country and indeed around the world and it goes with obesity so if you cut out sugar and i mean this is very difficult for a lot of people to do oh it's not easy you got to be smart

you got you got you got a search for alternate products so let me give an example bread turns the sugar, but not sour dough bread. And sour dough bread, it tastes better than regular bread so that I'm a sourdough guy now, all right? The worst of it is these drinks, these iced teas, these energy drinks. If you look at the label, they're giving you 70 grams of sugar. People don't know that. They don't know when they're slugging three or four of these drinks down a day that they're overwhelming their system with sugar. Finally, the fast food generation, which is This is garbage. This is garbage they're selling you, all right?

And that's why people are fat. But here's my beef. The government never tells you about this. They demonize tobacco to the extent that most sane people don't smoke cigarettes or pot, okay? But they don't do it with food because the food lobby is too powerful. It's so corrupt. Am I wrong? You're absolutely right.

And do you remember a few years ago the mayor of New York outlawed slurpees? for this very reason because the evident obesity and the diabetes that was going through the roof and the fact that people were gaining a tremendous, particularly poor people who eat a lot of carbos, a lot of sugar, they were not doing well and they were suffering because of the high amounts of sugar that they were taking. So it's a good point. Yeah, de Blasio was the guy you were referring to, but I don't think he banned the slurpes because of the sugar.

Everybody was- No, it was- It was a Bloomberg? Okay, well, it's the same thing. Everybody was throwing the slurpees at Bloomberg. All right, so that's why he didn't want them. All right, that's a jest. Doctor, thanks very much. Keep an eye on that Vax, and we'll, I want to have the best reporting on this Vax that we can have, okay? Thank you very much for helping us out. Thank you, Bill. All right, let's go to California. It's a disaster, as you know. Everybody's leaving the most beautiful state.

I think in the Union. I mean, California is a stunningly beautiful state. Well, between, April, 2020, and January this year, okay, 350,000 residents took off. All right. California has an outbound move rate right now of above 50%. Now, this is according to California Department of Finance stats, their own stats. Everybody's leaving. Why? Because crime's out of control, rents and to buy a house out of control. It's a socialist government there. Newsom is ridiculous. Why would you live there even if it is beautiful and the climate's great? So they're leaving. But it's not the worst. You know what the worst is? Illinois. More people leave in Illinois because they have the worst governor in the entire country, J.B. Pritzker and in Chicago.

53 more people shot in Chicago over the weekend. 53 more. Last week. weekend, July 22nd or 24th, 60. So you add that up. It's 113 people shot in two weekends in Chicago. And what are they doing? Nothing. Nothing. So the Chicago Bears and football team says, you know what? We're moving out of Soldier Field. We're leaving. So the Bears have been in Soldier Field since 1921. They're going. Arlington Heights. You can build a new stadium there. Mayor Life would beg them. We said, we'll build the stadium, new stadium for you. Nope. Bears are out. Gone. There you go. Smart life segment. Perhaps the most important segment we do every night. So I've told you about Bill O'Reilly.com concierge membership.

For a pittance, and I mean that literally, with very little money, you have direct access to me. So if you have a problem in your life, this is all confidential, by the way. I'm going to read you four testimonials, but I'm not going to use last names, okay? If you have a problem, and you write to me, we will try to help you solve it in any area. Sometimes we can't help, but most times we can. So here are four letters. We begin with Mary in Florida. I'm not only a concierge member, but a lifetime one.

to you, O'Reilly, during a time of just feeling overwhelmed by the current state of our country asking how to deal with it. You help me calm me down and form an outlook, keep me moving forward. Thank you. My husband and I both like knowing you are just an email away. That's from Mary. Jan and California. I ask for your advice about our investments, given we are seniors and the possible uneasiness of the market under this president. Your response triggered a call to our broker who is now helping us monitor things. Thank you so much. Okay. John in North Carolina. You gave me an excellent recommendation on where to stay in Antigua, so my wife and I spent a week there for our 20th anniversary. I would never have known

about this beautiful place without contacting you first. Your advice was invaluable. And finally, Gus in Tobacco Canyon, California. My wife and I plan to visit New York to see our son and his partner in June. We were anxious, given what we were hearing about the danger in the city. let us know where to stay and how to visit. We went and had a great time even walking through Central Park at night. Okay, so I can do all of those things for you. Now, the best tip you need in your life, a doctor you trust and know who you can get on the phone. Same thing with an attorney, who you can get on the phone, who you trust. And finally, you need an accountant, a financial person.

Doesn't maybe have to be a certified public accounting, but somebody who could advise you on handling your money. You need those three people. You have to be able to get to them. Okay, that is our smart life segment. And once again, Bill O'Reilly.com, concierge membership, a must in this complicated world. This day in history, August 2, 1876,

while Bill Hickcock shot dead. So, as you may know, Hickok was a marshal in Abilene, Kansas, very fast gun, and killed a lot of guys in gun fights. So he went up to a gambling center, Deadwood, South Dakota. I've been there. And 1876, he was playing poker. And he wiped out a guy named Jack McCall. But he felt sorry for McCall. He lost his money.

So Hickok gave him money to buy breakfast and, you know, a little pin money to walk around. Next day, Wild Bill was again playing cards, and McCall shot him dead, snuck up behind him, back shooter, killed him. McCall was acquitted because it wasn't really justice in Deadwood, it was a wide open town. However, two years later, they grabbed him in North Dakota in Yankton, and they tried him for murdering Wild Bill Hickcock, and they hung him. And that is Wild Bill Hickok's to mind, 35 years old, when he was murdered. Okay, good mail segment. And a final thought on what I saw at mass this Sunday. Right back.

Nancy Shaw, Grants Pass, Oregon. Bill, why do progressives continue with their insane agenda when most of the American population is not in favor of it? Progressives don't see it that way. They don't. They're true believers. True believers, they're fanatics, and that's why they're not learning any lessons.

Vicki King, Dallas. Bill, thank you for your succinct coverage of the January 6th events. Do you have any information about reports that some of the people at the riots were planted? We looked into some of it, and we couldn't find any validity to those conspiracy theories. Maybe there is, if you have evidence, I am willing to consider it. Neil Harrison and Arlington, Texas, why do you think Republicans are more interested in getting to the truth than the Democrats? I didn't say that. I never said that.

I want the Republicans to turn this country around, but do I have confidence they will? Steve Hammock, Mount Clemens, Michigan, defending America was very enlightening, eye-opening, truly appreciated. You and your new staff are the best in the business. I agree. So defending America, particularly in the wake of the Al-Qaeda chief being waxed by a drone, watch it if you can. Karen, on a message board, Bill, please address what's really going on in the impeachment fiasco of the Supreme Court conservative justice. Karen, there is no impeachment move in the Supreme Court. None. So what you see on the Internet is just garbage. Doesn't exist.

Ronald, the lack of charges against Comey and McCabe has undermined my faith in the FBI. Okay, me too. I have any confidence in the FBI. Now, the head of the FBI is going to testify on Thursday in front of a committee, and I'll cover it. We'll see what he's got. Where's the Hunter of Biden? Where's the leaker of the Supreme Court? George, concierge member.

Thank you, George, regarding Liz Cheney and whether she lies or not. As a simple man, I define lying as saying something you know is not true. It's not misleading. It's not misstating. It's a lie. What's so hard about calling it what it is, Bill? State of mind. now i know what lose cheney said about october six is not true does she know it's not true she should

but it goes to state of mine i can't read her mine so i say she misstated jim eyington blanko texas best column ever you nailed it bill just the way president biden would have answered i have a column about my fantasy interview with joe biden so i'm bill o'reilly dot com I think you'll get a chuckle out of reading it. All right. Jerry Cruthers, Kingsport, Tennessee, and became a lifetime premium member because you lock and load every day.

We try. Charles Gassman, Shelby, North Carolina. We started listening to Killing England during our July 4th trip. Very fitting. And we concluded the book by going by some of the sites that you wrote about. All of our history books are relevant.

You can't go wrong reading that. Word of the day, petulance. no petulance P-E-T-U-L-A and C-E back with a little gospel from O'Reilly Hey I'm Caitlin Becker

So I'm in mass on Saturday, no, on Sunday, 9 a.m. Mass, okay? And all the scriptures have to do with vanity.

And that it's, if you're, if you pursue. vanity, you're not doing what God wants you to do because it's all personal vanity. It's all promoting yourself. But some of the gospel had to do with money. So accumulating money is vanity. Okay. However, I have always said on this program and to anybody who will listen that you have to take the gospel and epistles and the Bible and apply it to today. which most clerics, priests in the Catholic Church, do not do. So money vanity, pursuit of money, greed, certainly, certain. But you need money in America in 2022 to protect yourself.

You need it. And you need to get as much as you can, honestly, of course. Because if you get sick or your family undergoes a disaster like the floods in Kentucky or the fires in California, whatever, you are going to need money. And if people attack you, which happens every day to millions of Americans, you need money to get a lawyer. You're going to be money to protect yourself from evil. You have to accumulate money.

It's not a vanity to protect yourself. You know, when I'm sitting there, I'm going, what about that? Never going to happen in the church. I know it. But it's my job to tell you. Pursuit of money for material stuff, vanity. To protect yourself, no.
