Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Thursday, August 5, 2021, stand up for your country. So we're going to do something a little bit different tonight because we have a very important program for you. And it has to do with why all Americans are being deceived. Some Americans want to be faked out. They don't want the truth. You know them. You know people in your own lives. They don't want to hear the facts. They don't want to know what's really happening. They're basically living their lives on emotion. And whatever emotion they have, you're not going to them. But for most Americans, in order to protect yourself in a very complicated, dangerous
Starting point is 00:01:00 world, you need honest information. The problem is you can't get it in the United States of America anymore because the press is so corrupt. And for the next 40 minutes or so, I'm going to prove that to you. Without any doubt, if you watch me from start to finish tonight, you will know exactly what is happening and why it's happening in this country, and it's unprecedented. It's never happened before. And so I told myself, look, I want to take a night out to do this, and we'll post it on Bill O'Reilly.com. We'll open it up for everybody this weekend. They'll tell your friends if they're not premium members or they don't watch the first. They're going to Bill O'Reilly and watch it.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Okay, so the best example of this is COVID. It is absolutely true that the President of the United States, the leader of this country, the elected leader, does not know what to do, how to handle it. He doesn't know. Now whether it's information flow into him or that he's not mentally able to disseminate information, I don't know. But I do know that almost everybody in this country is confused about why things are happening, why is this resurging? Our kids going to have to be locked out of school again.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Do they have to wear masks? Do I have to wear a mask? Why are the various governments doing various things? Nobody knows. Because it's just a tower of Babel. If you're a Bible reader, it's just all it is cacophony of voices, but no clarity in perhaps the most important story of our lifetime. Because it can kill you. Now, I have done, I think, excellent reporting on this, thanks to my staff.
Starting point is 00:03:08 and we have given you the absolute truth and encapsulating the truth is the only thing that will stop COVID is the vaccine. Nothing else will. So if you are not going to get vaccinated, you will be under threat for the rest of your life. So accept it. If you're not going to take the Vax, that's your position. in life. You are under threat. And by extension, your friends and family. Because if they're unvaxed, and you get it, you can give it to them. Now, even if you get vaxed, it's not 100%. It's 90%
Starting point is 00:03:55 FISA and Moderna, 66% J&J. Will we need booster shots? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. All right, maybe. But for now, 95% of the new hospitalizations in this country are unvaccinated people. That should be enough to tell you what's going on. Now, children, we are investigating Monday night, we will have a report on children. Again, it is murky. When a guy like Anthony Fauci is the top government spokesperson for COVID. You know the country's in trouble. And I'll, we'll deal with that a little bit later on. All right. There are four areas where the Biden administration is incompetent right now. The first is COVID. Okay, there's no policy or clarity coming out of the White House. The second is the border madness caused by Joe Biden himself. All right? That is leading to
Starting point is 00:05:03 suffering and death down there and a flood of foreign nationals, some of whom have COVID coming into this country. The third is the deadly crime wave we are seeing in the big cities where drug gangs are running wild. Criminals are not being punished. And the Biden administration's only answer is they're going to surround the gun dealers or something. And the fourth is the economy, which is a wobble right now. It isn't tanking. Not tanking that would be unfair. It's a wobble. We're all paying more for things we need. Now, on all four of those key things, do you get honest reporting from CBS NBC or ABC? No, you do not. From the cables, no you do not. The reason you don't get it from the networks
Starting point is 00:05:55 is they are in business to protect Joe Biden. And so is MSNBC attached to NBC News and CNN. So five, and if you want to count PBS, that would be six. They're all in business to protect Joe Biden because they believe they got him elected and they hated Donald Trump so much. So if you're going to protect somebody, you're certainly not going to tell people the truth about that person. And that's what's happened. Okay, so let's get specific.
Starting point is 00:06:31 A Gallup poll came out July 5th, 1,381 adults. All right. Question was simple. Please tell us how much confidence you have in television news. A great deal, quite a lot, 16%. That's it. All right. Some, 30%.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Very little, none, 53%. So the majority of Americans, they don't believe it. television news. All right. Newspapers, 21% great deal quite a lot, 35, some, 44, very little or none. That's actually higher than I thought it would be, because the newspapers in America now, the few of them that are left, are dominated by the Associated Press. That's where they get their articles from that agency, which is a committed left arena news agency. They are protecting Biden and advancing progressive causes. Now, you know the big metros, like the New York Times and Washington Post, L.A. Times, Boston Globe.
Starting point is 00:07:41 They're way, way out there. So that number surprised me a little that 56% of Americans still have any confidence in the newspaper industry. So let's define who we're talking about here very clearly. So there are five major television media companies right now, Comcast, NBC, Walt Disney, ABC, AT&T, CNN, Viacom, CBS, and the Fox Corporation, which is Fox Broadcast, and the Fox News Channel. Those are the five. They control all the flow through the electronic media to you. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Now, I'm an independent. I run my own corporation, my own news agency, and we reach a lot of people through radio and television. but not nearly what the corporate media reaches. The corporate media, with the exception of Fox, and Fox is a hybrid now. Fox management is liberal. Their prime time hosts are conservative, and dayside, it's all over the place.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Morning Show is fairly conservative. But it's not the way it used to be in the sense that when I was at Fox for the 20 plus years, I sat there, the philosophy was we were going to correct the record that the liberal corporations were putting out. That was the mandate. You'll remember, fair and balanced. So our mandate there was to correct the propaganda and the misreporting that was coming out of all the others. And I think I did that pretty well. 16 years, number one, ears more viewers than they have now. Okay, in addition to the corporate media, which again is all progressive left, you have the social media companies and that's where people are going.
Starting point is 00:09:43 These are the devices. These are Facebook. Facebook is an incredible power. Facebook has 2.7 billion users all over the world, 2.7 billion. All right. Revenue for Facebook, 86 billion. dwarfs any of the corporate media. All right. YouTube has two billion users, a big drop, but still substantial, all right, 20 billion in revenue. WhatsApp, I don't even know what WhatsApp is. That's got 2 billion, 20 billion in revenue as well. I'm sorry, that's got 2 billion users, 5 billion in revenue. Instagram has got 1.16 billion users, 7 billion. in revenue and TikTok run by Beijing all right so the kind of common is they're in the game big time 689 million users 35 billion revenue a year there's all year it really
Starting point is 00:10:41 figures so you can see that all the social media leans progressive left and 90% of the corporate media leans progressive left so what do you think your kids are going to come up with? What do you think your neighbors who are not well-informed are going to come up with? It's a massive wave of progressive propaganda, as we talked about yesterday with Mark Levin. Now, the border is a tremendous example of this, because if you listen to me right now, I'm going to explain exactly what happened, but you'll never hear this reported on corporate or social media. So Donald Trump had a big problem with the caravans. Remember that? And it drove him crazy as president. He had to stop this massive wave of humanity
Starting point is 00:11:32 that was being funded by far-left groups in the United States from assaulting the border. He did stop it. It took them almost three years, but he stopped it. They passed the migrant protection protocols, MPP. That was the policy. Didn't have to be voted on. In Congress, it was an executive order, the Remain in Mexico policy. All right? The MPP went into effect January 25th, 2019, all right, a year before Mr. Trump left office. Now, that policy said that if Border Patrol encounters you and you don't have a passport, you're not here legally, you go right back to Mexico, and then we'll adjudicate your case from there.
Starting point is 00:12:24 stop the caravans. It stopped the mass migration. Okay, you all understand. If you don't understand, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, but I think it's fairly clear. But it took the Trump administration almost three years to get this up and running. Now, the day that Biden came in to office, January of this year, he's told the world, I'm knocking this policy out. I'm putting it quote unquote under review. As soon as he said those two words, under review, all enforcement at the border stopped. All back to Mexico policy stopped. And since that time, 1.5 million human beings foreign nationals have breached the southern border. That's all we know about. Those are the ones the Border Patrol encountered. There are probably a million more that got in and nobody
Starting point is 00:13:21 saw them. Okay, so this is a colossal catastrophe, especially for Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, the border states. But you don't see much reporting about this once in a while. Now, Biden did this by himself, just as President Trump put the Remain in Mexico policy by himself. I mean, obviously, have people helping him with it, but it was him. Biden put it out by himself. Okay? And now Biden has no clue on how to stop this massive wave of humanity coming into the United States illegally. He doesn't know how, right? And he doesn't particularly care, I don't think. I don't see any urgency. I mean, just this week he said, okay, now we're going to enforce our policy that if you may have COVID, so we're going to send you back. Just this week,
Starting point is 00:14:18 because he's getting desperate. The Biden administration's getting desperate. It's being overwhelmed. And remember, when these people come in here, they put them on buses and they send them all over, from Seattle to Key West, from Bangor, Maine to Tucson. They go everywhere. They're not tested for COVID.
Starting point is 00:14:36 They're not vaxed. I mean, if you just step back and look at how destructive and irresponsible Biden's border policy is, staggering. Now, I get mailed to, well, what is it? he impeached? Nobody's going to impeach him. It's his policy. And the Democrats control the House, which is the impeachment place. Okay. So Biden himself addressed this issue a couple of times, but not in a serious way. On March 25th, here's what he said and here's what I said. Go. We're going to be moving within the next week, over 100,000, I mean, a thousand people out of the Border Patrol into safe, secure beds and facilities.
Starting point is 00:15:29 We're going to significantly ramp up. We're already out there contacting everyone from getting some of the employees at HHS. There's a lot of them doing other things and move them into making those calls. We're in the process of rearranging and providing for the personnel needed to get that done. Okay, to get what done? To get notification of minors who come here illegally, they are now going to be set free and sent to whatever information they give the Border Patrol at taxpayer expense. So, I mean, you know, 100,000, a thousand, he doesn't know. So let's go overall here.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Joe Biden was not in control of that press conference. He said things that weren't true. He was distracted, to say the least, in his thought process. He used notes and actually read from the notes, prepared, okay? And the press just stood there and really didn't anything. They were as befuddled as Mr. Biden was. Now, the press is very respectful to the president. I think we would all agree. All right. Again, they use no stats at all. No stats. You know, Mr. President, what you're saying about the border isn't really true based on what the border
Starting point is 00:16:56 patrol says or based on what the polling says. It's not really sure. None of them did it. Not one of them brought stats into that, which is just a disgrace. I mean, I've been a reporter for a long time. I mean, these people are not prepared. Now, why? Because they don't want to make Biden look bad. They lacked energy. It was an amazing contrast to Donald Trump when they wanted to hurt him. Okay. So to this day, to this hour, to the second, Joe Biden, the president of the United States, has no policy on the southern border other to let everybody in. Okay. And And we're going to suffer grievously because of that. Now we have violent crime.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It's up. I'm not going to even overwhelm me with stats. You know how violent. New York is, Chicago, L.A. You can't even live in Portland, Oregon anymore. Seattle's falling apart. Minneapolis, Baltimore. San Francisco's unlivable.
Starting point is 00:17:55 You know it. Okay. So what is Biden's, what is Biden's solution? What is it? Again, his solution is the gun dealers. The gun dealers. He's going to crack down on them. Not the criminals, not the drug gangs, not the prosecutors who won't even charge people for violent crime.
Starting point is 00:18:20 They won't even charge them. He's not going to do anything about that. He's going to do crackdown on gun dealers. So here's what I said on June 23rd. Go. So Joe Biden gets up there today. Wow, we're going to give billions of dollars from the COVID fund, transfer it over. federal agents are going to track down the gun dealers, the illegal gun dealers, and we're going to, and we're going to, and we're going to, and we're going to, and nothing will improve.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Now, the corrupt corporate media, number one, doesn't care about the problem, and number two, they're never going to go against Biden. They're never going to tell you what I just told you. The essence of why the violent crime in America is ascending rapidly is that those in charge of new, York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, Los Angeles, St. Louis, on and on and on and on. Think the police are racist. Therefore, that minority criminals shouldn't be punished, shouldn't have to be bailed, they should be allowed out without any bond, on and on and on. That is the crux of the violent crime problem. Again, President Biden, no way.
Starting point is 00:19:41 No way. I mean, he's just not gonna do it. So you have the border, you have violent crime. Both of those are not gonna be solved as long as Joe Biden is president and the corporate media will never tell you that. Third one, COVID. This is the most personal because as I said at the top,
Starting point is 00:19:59 this can kill you. This can kill you. All right? So we can't get a straight answer out of the President of the United States. What's the policy? What's the plan? What are you going to do to calm fears, to encourage people to be vaccinated?
Starting point is 00:20:19 What are you going to do? Listen to this exchange. Go. What is the thinking behind letting untested and unvaccinated migrants cross the southern border into U.S. cities in record numbers? There is, what we're doing, we have not withdrawn the order that is sometimes critical or criticized saying that unvaccinated people should be go back across the border but unaccompanied children is a different story
Starting point is 00:20:49 because there's that's the most humane thing to do is to test them and to treat them and not send them back alone but they're not being tested and not being treated all right they're just being put on a bus and sent somewhere, and if an unaccompanied minor does that, it's just a matter of time before his or her parents or uncle or aunt or guardian get here as well. So, I mean, befuddled, I know I overused the word, and I'm sorry that I do that, but I don't know what are confused, dazed, bewildered. And this is the President of the United States. I've never seen anything like it.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I really, in my lifetime, and you know me, I'm a presidential historian. I know them all from Millard Fillmore to James Polk to Grover, Cleveland. I've never seen this level of detachment. Maybe James Buchanan before the Civil War, it's close, but not in my lifetime. And my lifetime began with Eisenhower. I mean, Truman, but I was too little to figure him out. All right, so one of the problems with the COVID stuff is that there is no spokesperson that anybody believes anymore. So Donald Trump had Fauci and Burks.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Remember Dr. Burks, Deborah Birx? She just vanished. I don't know where she is. She probably got hammered so hard by, you know, I know she got hammered by the press, but by her own circle that she's just burnt out. Fauci's still around. I mean, all he is is like, tell me what to say. All right. So when you have a guy who's your main mouthpiece on COVID contradicting himself all over the place, you've got a problem.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Roll Fauci. Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. And it might even block a droplet. but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And I think, you know, one of the important things that we're emphasizing right now that really evolved from a situation that did change is our insistence now on wearing masks. I mean, masks are very important.
Starting point is 00:23:17 They protect you from giving infection to someone else. Even if you're vaccinated, if you live in an area that has a substantial, and high degree of transmissibility, the recommendation is that people who are vaccinated when they are in an indoor setting that they should wear a mask. Why? If you're vaccinated, you're over 90% protected. And if you get it, it's very mild. Now, if you spread it, you're spreading it to an unvaccinated person. And as I said on this broadcast, I may be cruel, but I don't really care. I'm not living my life behind a cloth.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But that just shows you how, you know, Fauci says, Mass or a waste of time, and then three months later, he goes, no, no, they're vital. Come on. You're a doctor. You're supposed to be a scientist. All right. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.
Starting point is 00:24:24 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. 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 metals 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 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-89-89-again. And that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Now, I'm just going to throw this in just for your frame of reference. The network news, the corporate media, are based in New York City. They have bureaus in Washington, but the heavyweights are here. The people who run the news agencies are here. They take their news from the New York Times and a Washington Post, all right? They don't come in every morning and say, oh, let's do this and that. They read those papers. Then they decide because they're in awe still of those papers, both of which are no longer
Starting point is 00:26:08 newspapers, their left-wing journals. Okay, so some facts. The New York Times has not endorsed a Republican candidate since 1956. President Eisenhower. The Washington Post has never, ever endorsed a Republican president candidate for president. According to a Gallup poll, 84% of Americans believe the news media bears responsibility for the partisan division in this country, and that's certainly true. A Harvard poll finds that in the first 100 days of news coverage of President Trump, his first 100 days in office, 93% of NBC news's coverage was negative and CNN's coverage.
Starting point is 00:26:56 93%. So there you go. If you confront these people, these network people, with facts that you don't report the news objectively or fairly and, longer. You were in business to destroy Trump. Now you're in business to protect Biden. How can that possibly be fair? If you say that to them and back it with stats, like 93% of Trump's in his first 100 days was negative. And I think it's 65% of Biden's first days was positive. Then they still deny it. Roll of tape. Where we did get lost in this, I would say. And this sort of happened to mainstream media in particular is that we did let Republican critics get in our heads. The Republicans have been running on, there's a liberal bias in the media. And if you talk about if you say something long enough, there are liberals who say there's a liberal bias in the media
Starting point is 00:28:02 when you see polling now. Okay. So Chuck Todd, that's who that was. He has a fairly prominent position in NBC News. And I remember back to Tim Russert, who did meet the press, and I respected Russard. We had a pretty good relationship. And I compare him to Chuck Todd. It's like, you know, comparing Mike Wallace to you name it today. All right. So Chuck Todd, he's not going to accept that there's liberal bias. He's what they call intellectually dishonest. He's simply not going to do it. It's like when you argue with somebody in your life, and no matter what you say to them, no matter how strong your argument is, no matter how much fact you back it up with, they're
Starting point is 00:28:52 not going to cede it. To me, I don't even bother anymore with those kinds of people. Oh, that's Chuck Todd. Okay. So Todd says, hey, you know, there isn't any liberal bias. It's all a Republican thing, propaganda. Well, let's prove Todd. Todd wrong, and it's not hard to do. So the first thing is Russian collusion. Now, you remember
Starting point is 00:29:15 that for the first, what, two years of the Trump administration, the corporate media was basically saying Donald Trump and his administration entered into a corrupt bargain with Putin and Russia to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. Okay? Roll the tape. He never thought that he was going to win. And so the collusion wasn't so much about political ambition. It was about being bought and paid for and owned by the Russians. We all know the president's no collusion, no obstruction mantra. We know it's false.
Starting point is 00:29:54 But it bears repeating. The fact is Robert Mueller did not say there was no collusion. He said there wasn't enough evidence. Well, that's not true. The Mueller report concluded there was. no collusion. That's in print. So both of those commentators, well-paid, are basically comfortable with telling you a falsehood. And they're, I could have, listen, I'm sorry to pick on them. I know them both. They're not bad people. I don't think. I could have done 50 of us.
Starting point is 00:30:35 So two years, and the press got it wrong, across the board on Russian collusion, never an apology. Second one, Hunter Biden. Roll it. This kid was paid $600,000 because his name is Biden, by a gas company in Ukraine, this super corrupt country that just had a revolution to get rid of corruption. It just looks bad. He should do better. It does sound like something Don Jr. would do. And if Don Jr. did it, it would be all Rachel Maddo was talking about. Okay, so Hunter Biden, as you know, made millions of dollars with the help of his father, who was then vice president.
Starting point is 00:31:17 There's no doubt about it. It's a fact. So foreign governments, China, Ukraine, the two top ones, but also Russia, paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars. Press wouldn't report it. Blacked it out. Not liberal bias? What is it? What is it? Chuck Todd. Third one. Wuhan Lab. Go.
Starting point is 00:31:45 China's buying billions of dollars worth of our product, our farm product and other product, manufacturing product, and it's been a great deal. But then we noticed a virus, and it's not acceptable what happened. It came out of China. Both scientists and the U.S. intelligence community agree that this coronavirus was not man-made. That is not a possibility. It came from a natural source. It didn't come from a lab. People have looked at the genes. The transmission was likely from animal to human. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the
Starting point is 00:32:17 President's Coronavirus Task Force, said there is no scientific evidence the coronavirus was made in a Chinese lab. Okay. Did that guy apologize? This haste? All right, we just had an 84-page report come out of the House of Representatives, yes, it was done by Republicans that said there was plenty of evidence to show that COVID was being manufactured, studied, research, whatever word you want to use inside that lab. But this guy Hayes said, that's not a possibility. Now, what does it matter that Fauci says? He doesn't know what he's talking about. But Hayes now, what does he do? That's Comcast.
Starting point is 00:33:06 That's NBC. Lafayette Square. Now, this seems like a little one. It's not a little one. So George Floyd, all right? He's killed by the police. Riots break out. Whole country's engaged.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Everybody's upset. Everybody is just what is going on here. Okay? So, thugs set fire to St. John's Church across the street from the White House, a historic church. The protesters are out the next night in front of the church. That was burned, yelling at Trump about George Floyd. The president wants to go to the church to show him. disdain of the vandalism.
Starting point is 00:34:02 So park police make the protesters move a couple of blocks away, okay, which they did. Rule the tape. The president threatening to use unprecedented military force on U.S. soil while offering a preview of it on the streets of Washington. The criticism comes after President Trump talked about using the military to dominate the streets. asked police to clear peaceful protesters from the park. Whose idea was it? We've heard different reports that it might have been Ivanka's idea. It may have been Jared's idea.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Whose idea was it to brutalize protesters, peaceful protesters? At the end of the day, this was President Trump's decision. Did others talk about it in the Oval Office, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Hope Hicks. Yes, they did. Mark Meadows as well. But this was President Trump. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Not true. So, the Department of Interior, which is responsible for the parks, they had their inspector general investigate. All of that, all of what you just heard. It came back. Here's a quote. The investigation found no evidence that protesters was forced out of the park near the White House last year to clear the way for Donald Trump and posed for photos outside of a church. That report was released June 9th of this year. So all those people misled you.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Did they apologize? Did you hear them apologize? Any of them? No. So I think I've made my point, but I'm going to wrap it up with the most serious of all of this, and that is the January 6th Capitol Riot. Now, the assertion, and it remains today, is that Donald Trump wanted and encouraged those rioters to break into the nation's capital. That's the assertion that he wanted, wanted it to happen and encouraged it to happen. Wall of the tape. Trump loved this. He loved what happened on January 6th because it was all about him.
Starting point is 00:36:09 These people were fighting for him. They were fighting against democracy and against free elections, to be sure. But they were fighting for him, and that's what he cares about. Okay, another lie from a Trump hater. So there was another report. And the report is a hundred. 127 pages long. It was conducted by a bipartisan, which means both parties, a group of senators on two different committees. The report does not mention Donald Trump's name or involvement
Starting point is 00:36:44 in this event on January 6th. It does say that Capitol Police officers, as early as December 21st, knew that protesters, some of them, plan to bring guns and try to break into the Capitol. They knew it, right? It criticizes the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, saying that even though they had intelligence, this might happen. They didn't tell the Capitol Police. Trump, there's nothing in there about Trump and who was on the committee. Amy Klobuchar was on a committee. Roy Blunt, Rob Portman, and Gary Peters.
Starting point is 00:37:22 That's two Democrats and two Republicans. So all of that, it was just, it was just garbage. It just wasn't true. On and on and on and on. So I'm going to wrap up this segment by a monologue I did on February 17th. When I talked to Ira Rosen, who was a 60 Minutes producer, go. You know where it started with Dan Rather? Dan Rather was the guy
Starting point is 00:37:54 that took it from Kronkite who was an avowed liberal Kronkite but nobody knew it he hit it all right rather took it into an act of his posture and it ultimately bit him in the Bush the younger story that about the National Guard
Starting point is 00:38:10 turned out to be bogus than him rather was humiliated but rather was a partisan I worked for him I know I was at CBS all right I know that he wore his liberalism on the sleeve and there was a little attempt to rein them in, but not much. But after that, then the floodgates open, and now it's all about money. We're going to target this audience.
Starting point is 00:38:32 They'll come to us. Look at the New York Times. How radical left an organization is that? Why? Because they're making their money on subscriptions to liberal people. Not to conservative traditionalists. They don't cover the news for everybody anymore. And here's the kicker.
Starting point is 00:38:50 July primetime ratings for Fox News primetime down 34% MSNBC down 37% CNN down 43% year-to-year. Morning programs, which are the big revenues for the corporate media, they're all down. Okay, today's show down 10% Good Morning America, 9% CBS morning show only has 2,7 viewers anyway, million viewers, they're down 10% as well. So Americans, though, they know what's going on. All right, I hope I've made my point. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish you upon,
