Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, July 11, 2003, stand up for your country. You know, we Americans are a self-centered people. We've always been that way. A lot of it has to do with separating from England and fighting a war over that. then basically being preoccupied with our own situations rather than looking around the world. And if you trace American history, isolationism is always present in every decade. Now, things have changed because of the high-tech era, and all countries are tied into each other.

So what happens overseas in the developed countries directly affects us. talking about Africa or South America or South Asia where inter-country controversies don't affect us at all. But I am talking about the developed world and China and Russia and Iran and India. Everything that happens in those places influences the way we live here. Keep that in mind. Now, with the collapse of the American public school system, and it has collapse, just look at the test scores. It's ridiculous. History and geography, if you quiz the urchins, I mean, they have no blanket idea about what happened, when it happened, where it happened, and nor do they care. Even though they have the doping machine in their hand, they can just Google whatever

they want and pop sharp right before their eyes. That's how easy it is to get information. what do they want to know where zambia is no idea right so anyway against that backdrop we have a significant meeting in lithuania quiz question where is lithuania do you know well it's part of the three baltic states that border russia okay and were occupied by the soviet union for decades but they got their freedom when the Soviet Union collapsed. So 31 NATO countries, their leadership, have gone to Lithuania to taunt Putin. That's what they're doing there. They're taunting him because if they want to have a NATO media, you're going to have in Belgium, far away from Russia.

But they want to be right on Putin's doorstep because they sense weakness in Putin. And they want to show the world that NATO is a lot stronger than Putin. And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So President Biden leads the charge. We are the most powerful country in the world. China would like to be, but not yet. All right. Now today, Sweden's membership in NATO pretty much confirmed.

Turkey was blocking that for some bogus reason about migrants, but the U.S. bought off Turkey by allowing a transfer of F-16 jet fighters to the Aragon government, and then you buy these people off. That's what you do. That's called diplomacy. We've seen jets over there, they've got to pay for them. But, you know, Turkey is a dubious country to say the least. And as soon as that deal was made, Aragon said, oh, yeah, we'll let Sweden into NATO. This, of course, tees off Putin because now you've got Finland, Sweden, aligned against him. That's 33 NATO countries and counting. Also, today, Ukraine was reaffirmed that NATO will continue to help.

They'll deliver – France is going to deliver deep strike missiles. Germany is going to give Ukraine 20,000 rounds of artillery ammo. Germany's a riot. They really, you know. Bottom line is NATO's United against Putin. It has nothing to do with Ukraine. Ukraine is just the facilitator here. All right.

So let's give you some stats. In the USA, the latest poll on Ukraine was Pew, Pew Research Center, okay? June, early June. Do you approve or disapprove of the Biden administration's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Approved 39, disapprove 35. So it's pretty close. And 25% have no blank and clue, as I said, what this is. all about, where Ukraine is, who Putin is, they don't know.

So, but it's close. And the reason is close is that the conservative media has been skeptical of helping Ukraine. And the main people are Tucker Carlson, as you know, when he was on Fox, he was against the Ukraine assistance, Alex Jones, that far right guy, Tulsi Gabbard, former Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, Senator Ram Paul, Senator J.D. Vance, Congressman Matt Gates, Governor Ron DeSantis, and on and on. I mean, those are the big names that don't want to help Ukraine. Okay, they all have their own reasons, and they're entitled to them. This is America. You want to dissent? You dissent. All the Democrats have fallen lockstep behind Biden, as they usually do. Okay. Now, the stats in the war. War's been going on about a year and a half. 50,000 at least, Russians have been killed. 50,000.

That's a big loss, obviously. All right. Ukrainians have lost about 20,000, but I think that's low. We don't get real reliable reporting out of Ukraine or Russia. Ukrainian civilians, this is a little bit better because U.S. Red Cross is there, international rate cross as well. Civilians killed about 10,000. Civilians injured, about 16,000.

But here's the stat. Six million Ukrainians have fled the country. And they got to live somewhere and somewhere here in the USA. Six million. So this is an unbelievable global disaster. The Kiev School of Economics, again, unreliable, estimates that the destruction in Ukraine has cost $143 billion. Now, NATO has pledged $165.5. billion to Ukraine, of which the USA is paying 40 percent, 75 million billion so far. It's a lot of taxpayer money going over there. Is Ukraine corrupt? Yeah, it is. But the enemy of your enemy is your friend. And there's no way we can regulate what happens inside Ukraine. What we want to do is downgrade Putin, so he gets overthrown, which I have predicted will happen. And that would be a big win for the world. So that's where we are. And I'm a realist.

I want what's best for America first, and then the world. It's better if Putin disappears. And here's something interesting. He's the richest man in the world, Putin. and his money is tied up in Switzerland, other easy banking places under phony names and all that. You know how it goes. Putin can't spend it. You can't spend the money.

There isn't a country on the planet that will take Putin with the possible exception of Iran. And Putin is, well, I go to Iran. Okay, nobody else is going to take him. Maybe Afghanistan. All right, but he's got nowhere to go. So he can't, like, flee the country. like Edie Amin did and went to Saudi Arabia. So nobody's going to take Putin.

And he can't spend his money. I guess his friends are buying his girlfriend in Switzerland's buying stuff, but he can't. Now he's got everything he needs in Russia, but it's still Russia. He can't go on vacation. So Putin is going to wind up in handcuffs or with a bullet in his head. That's what's going to happen because his Ukraine thing's not going to get any better for him. It's a stalemate now, all right? And two sides are looking at each other, and, you know, I don't know what's going to happen.

I can't possibly predict. But NATO in the two-day meeting is pretty firm. We're not backing off, and Ukraine's not backing off. So Putin, what Putin should do is try to get a peace thing going on. Remember, Pope Francis went over there and offered to broker a peace deal. Putin said no. and said no to every piece overture, every one. Okay, that's the memo.

Let's bring in a guest who I think disagrees with me a little, and I love that. You know how I like that. Her name is Kelly Vejos. I hope I got that. She works for the Quincy Institute, which is a think tank, and studies situations. all over the world in a U.S. context, joining us now from Washington. So where did I go wrong? Did I go wrong anywhere? Well, I mean, I think you might be a little optimistic on Putin's demise.

I think there are plenty of people who would hope that he would disappear. I guess the question is, how would it happen? I don't think the American people are interested in another regime-change war in which our entire U.S. foreign policy is geared towards ousting another foreign leader and then having to deal with a vacuum, a power vacuum after. Many experts on Russia say, you know, if Putin was gone tomorrow, there'd probably be a more nationalistic or hardline person waiting in the wings because that's where the power center is right now. Okay. Let me dissent from that analysis. The military would take over Russia, as you know, probably.

It's the only other body that could run the country. The oligarchs aren't making any money now. They'll back the military and business as usual. Everybody gets rich. Putin can't stay there. He's been embarrassed by the Wagner group, even though there's some detente in the air. Nobody believes that. The Russian people don't like Putin.

That nationalism is gone on the backs of the 50,000 dead. and more than 100,000 maimed. He can't recruit. People are leaving Russia in droves. He's done. It's just as a matter how. It's not going to survive this. And if he does, I'll have you back on.

And I'll say, you were right and I was wrong. But I can't, I'm a historian. There's no leader on the skids like Putin who has ever survived it. And a vacuum, Soviet military takes over. Soviet military is in business to make money. And the oligarchs will come in, and it'll be back to business. And that's what I see.

Go ahead. Well, I mean, I think there's plenty of polling in Russia that say it's not as clear cut as you say that nobody in Russia works. Wait, wait, wait, you know if a polling outfit calls you and you go against Putin, you're going to get a knock on the door. Come on. Right. But I've seen polling by polling companies that are actually trusted by the Kremlin come out with much more temperate. results in terms of what the Russian people are thinking. And they do, you know, in many ways do support the war effort in Ukraine.

I don't believe that for a second. I don't believe that propaganda for a second. Okay, for example. Wait, wait, wait. For example. It's like every totalitarian regime on earth. They always put that stuff out. You think the Russian people are happy with this Ukraine thing?

You think they're happy with it? I don't know what else we have to go by, Bill, when you have poll after poll after poll that show that the Russian people support the war effort. All done by the crew. I'm not sure there are foundations in there that you can probably just dismiss, but on point, the Russian people have supported this. I just want to give you one example. Navalny, who is the much-heralded democracy leader in Russia, who is in jail. for his political activism has been a supporter of Russia remaining in Crimea because the Russian people believe Crimea is Russian and they support the Russian people in crime but no but so to say that

they don't support the war effort that's that's erroneous that it's very complicated there is a there are Russians speaking people in Ukraine there are Russian parts of Ukraine that are supported by the people in Russia, and they support Russia being able to maintain its points there. I'm going to say that they don't support the war, they don't support who, and I feel, is a broad brush. If what you're saying is true, and I don't believe it is, not because you are being deceitful, I think you're buying into propaganda. When the Wagner Group rebelled a few weeks ago against Moscow, no military, Russian military

unit stepped up to fight them. They seized a fairly large Russian city without any resistance. In fact, six Russian generals crossed over to help the Wagner Group. All six have been arrested, and they're probably dead now, because the Wagner Group backed down for whatever reason. I don't know. My analysis is based on U.S. and British intelligence, what they are putting out, because I have access to some of that. And they are directly contradicting any kind of poll that would be taken in a country where the people are frightened to death of saying anything negative about their government. So let's advance it a little bit longer.

If you were advising President Biden, what would you tell him to do right now as far as Ukraine and Putin? Well, I would tell him to start opening up communications with their Russian counterparts, whether it be the Secretary of State's counterpart, the CIA's counterpart, the Secretary of Defense counterpart, and get some talking going. Because I agree with you, Bill. This is a stalemate. But surely you know, surely you know that the United States ambassador to the Vatican was involved with Pope Francis's trip to try to convince me.

Putin to go to the peace table. So there are avenues where the United States and Great Britain and the NATO countries have said to Putin, hey, we're willing to talk about peace. That's what they say. That's what they say, Bill. Why would the Pope go? They say when they're pressed, but I don't see any evidence of it. I don't see any evidence that they are focused on a diplomatic pathway. I see a lot of evidence. Why would Pope Francis go there? into the war and the more fighting, which is only destroying Ukraine. Because as you know, the best they can get out of this is a stalemate, the best.

You think it's better for Putin to run Ukraine, take it over, as he has Belarus and Georgia. You think that's better. No, no. Then the Ukrainians fighting for their freedom because the current course isn't working. Because it's not working for Putin, but it's working for Ukraine because they fought them a stalemate. Is it? They don't have as many soldiers, they don't have as many weapons, they don't have, they don't have production lines. We just had to give them cluster munitions because we're running out of regular artillery shells to give Ukraine.

We've leaned on all of our allies to give every piece of ammo that we possibly can. So you think it's better for the Ukrainian. We don't have the production lines going enough to fund and you think you think it's better for the Ukrainian people to be. be subjugated by Moscow rather than a fight for their freedom. No, I didn't say that. I said we need to get talks going to end the war. That doesn't mean subjugation is to end gold here. You're ignoring the Pope Francis entree, totally ignoring that the man went with the blessing

of Biden and the U.S. ambassador and Putin tell him to get bent. The Pope did? The Pope did? I didn't know that the Pope was like coordinating with Washington. Pope made him a mission. Of course they coordinate with watching. What do you think the U.S. ambassador in the Vatican does? I don't believe that, but I guess it sounds good on paper. I don't believe that because if they really did, they would continue pushing the Vatican to keep that shuttle diplomacy going. There's no shuttle about it. Putin said no. Putin said no. They don't

even acknowledge that the Pope has gone over there. They can't do that. Well, it's been reported widely, but they can't say, look, the Pope's going over there. I mean, there's a big, because of security, because there's security, come on. They haven't acknowledged that the Pope is actually trying for peace. They don't really care to even. Why do you think he went over there to give his blessing to Putin to baptize some kid? Of course, he went over there to try to get broker some kind of peace. Anyway, look, I put my case forth, and you did a very good job.

I must say, I love these debates. And we'll let the viewers, of course, process it. And thanks for coming. I hope you, I hope you come back. Thank you very much. Anytime. Thank you. Okay.

All right, let's get back here. Biden Family Finances. It's do bad. By the way, if you want to comment on that debate, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. So there's a guy named Gal Luft, 57 years old. He's got a dual passport.

Israeli and USA. He said that he knows or has evidence that Joe Biden took money from Hunter Biden in all of this, China, Romania, Ukraine, Russia stuff. This is what the guy said. He's been arrested, all right, by the Justice Department and charged with eight counts of arms trafficking. All right? Apparently, he broke it a deal. China was going to sell arms to Libya. Okay? So, U.S. Justice Department issued a warrant. he's on the land. He's gone in the wind. Nobody knows where he is.

Now the conspiracy people come out. They come out all over the place. Because Comer, the Oversight Committee chair in the house, mentioned this guy Loft as some kind of informant. Now people are saying, oh, because he had information against President Biden, they arrested him. Hold on. Okay.

Just wait. I understand the United States of conspiracy. I understand talk radio. I did talk radio. I know the conspiracies sell. I know they make money. Both sides. Both sides.

So I have to report this guy Luft. All right? I don't know what he did. How could I possibly know what he did? Maybe he's completely innocent. Maybe the Biden administration is trying to shut him up. Possible, but you can't say it as fact. FBI Chief Christopher Ray tomorrow, and we are, this will be our lead story and talking points,

goes before the House Judiciary Committee, that's Jim Jordan, to the House Committee is investigating the politicization of the nation's preeminent law enforcement agency, the FBI under the direction of Ray and Attorney General Garland. So Hunter and Jim have got to come up. Got to come up. Have to be. Front and center. So I told you what I think is going to happen is that Ray is going to do what he always does. I can't comment. It's under investigation. Oh, maybe other charges will be lodged against somebody in the Biden family, so I can't comment.

Oh, I can't do this. I can't do that. I can't imagine Ray's going to go in and answer these questions. We're on it. I hope he answers the questions. We are the people have a right to know what the deuce is happening. the FBI. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay.

By the way, we are going out a special event, Bill O'Reilly.com, knows been news event. It's going to be Monday, July 24th, all right? about our investigation into the Biden family finances. This event is simply your questions to me, and I will answer them for about 45 minutes, but it's only for premium and concierge members of Bill O'Reilly.com. So if you're thinking about it, joining us and getting all of the things we have for you

for a very, very low price, you will get access to that special. for the thousands of premium and concierge members we already have. Okay, just mark that calendar, 8 p.m. July 24th, live. I'll have the emails right in front of me. Pop, pop, pop, pop. Okay, so we're doing that for you because we know you're very interested in this. The Biden administration does not like this federal order

that federal employees are no longer, to consult with social media mavens. This comes off the censorship by Twitter and others about the COVID vaccine. So federal judges have said, your federal employee, you can't have meetings with the social media crew. The judge that issued that order is U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doty. okay and um he has issued it temporarily the order bars many agencies and are employees from urging encouraging pressuring or inducing social media companies to remove or restrict content okay so the Biden administration asked for a delay and the judge said no this is going to go to

the Supreme court that's where it's headed first amendment but you can see the intent because the censorship on social media was so horrific, driven by the FBI and other federal agencies that the federal judiciary is appalled. You can't be making secret deals with these people to censor opinions if you're in the FBI or anyplace else. That's under the federal government's umbrella. Fascinating story. All right, Fox News may face a lawsuit from Ray Epps. Now, those of you follow January 6th, you certainly know who Ray Epps is.

It was a Trump supporter, former Marine from Arizona. He was at the riot on January 6th, and he was not charged, but still could be. Okay, Epps is not. free and clear of charges on January 6. However, Tucker Carlson in particular and others at Fox News suggested, I think that's the word I'm looking for, that Epps was part of a false flag operation. He was a plant to incite the riot at the Capitol. Epps went on 60 minutes and said his life is ruined. After watching that, here's what I said. First of all, if you watched 60 Minutes last night, you saw a man named Ray Epps, right, tell the audience that Tucker Carlson ruined his life.

I'm going to deal with Mr. Epps in the final thought of today's broadcast, but that was a pretty strong assertion on 60 Minutes. And when I saw it, I said, oh, here comes the lawsuit. against Tucker Carlson and Fox News from Ray Epps. Now, the Guardian, not a reliable source, the Guardian newspaper reports that Epps is going to sue. His lawyer has already demanded an apology, sent Fox News a cease and desist letter demanding a retraction of the conspiracy theory and on and on.

My question is, why hasn't EPS? sued before this, what's holding that up? See, there's something in there that we don't know about. Again, we report the facts. Do we trust the guardian? No. Is it likely Epps will sue? Yes. But there's something holding it up. Okay, what else do we have here on the sheet? Oh, by the way, Fox News stock was downgraded yesterday by Wells Fargo, and then the left went wild. But this is across the board. This isn't just an FNC problem. Cable news and programming entertainment is done.

It's done. It's obsolete because it's too expensive. So cable news, if you get a full boot of cable offerings, you're paying $225. So people aren't going to do that. I mean, I have 100 channels. I don't watch 90 of them. It's very, very hard to find anything to watch. Life below zero?

I don't need to watch that. I just don't. I'm sorry. And cable news ratings, I mean, since I left six and a half years ago, I mean, And you, boop, like this. Because people can get information elsewhere. They don't have to invest an hour. But more importantly, all news operations are boring. They're all repetitive. They're all boring. The analysts are afraid to say anything that will get them in trouble. And why, why? So the audience has fled. and at the same time downsize because of money to just select the things that they want which you can do all right so very interesting things taking place and here's another disney okay this is a titanic corporation has lost more than 50% of its value in the stock market two reasons Disney is greedy in fact there's going to be an eighth dwarf named greedy okay there's dopey there's doc and there's

greedy so if you're a family of four and you go to Disney World or Disneyland you could easily spend $1,000 a day most people can't do that most families can't do that and now Disney's woke

unapologetically woke woke to the core so there's an outfit called touring plans they did a study of wait times in Disney land and, yeah, Disney World. Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, studied it, and the wait times are down 43% since 2019,

which means there are fewer people going to the parks. And I believe it. It's mainly because of the money. It's so expensive. So Greedy, the Dwarf, you know, he may get let go. They might have to furlough greedy. Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.

Okay, so I have a master's degree from Harvard, Ivy League School, obviously. I enjoyed my time in Cambridge, but I understand the Ivy League mentality, all right? And still today, an Ivy League degree in this country is, we'll get you open doors. So Brown is an Ivy League school. And the newspaper there, the Daily Herald, Brown Daily Herald, they do a survey. So they asked the students, are you gay? And 38% of the students said, yeah, I'm gay. Big headline.

Huge social media story. I'm looking into this. And I know exactly what happened here. So many Ivy League students are wise guys and gals. they're cynical they're they get a question like yeah i'm gay even if they're not gay they just want to cause trouble they just want to you know i i did that i do that if i were at harvard at the kennedy school and i got a call from the daily newspaper are you guys yeah yeah of course i have just to give them some jazz that's what this is about so it's estimated that uh gay

Americans comprise about 6 to 8% of the population. So Brown's 38%. No. I got a real kick out of that. Kansas, let's go to Kansas. So for the last four years, you could change your gender on your driver's license. If you're trans, you could do that. But then the legislature in Kansas pass the losses, you can't. So if you were born a biological male or female, it's on your birth certificate, that's what's on your driver's license. Trans people go nuts. Far left goes nuts. Okay. So there's all kinds of back and forth. But district judge, state judge, Teresa Watson, issued an order that prohibits the state from allowing transgender. transgender drivers to change the sex on the license.

That should be it. That should be it. But it'll probably go federal, but Canada's going to be allowed to do that, I think, in the end. They can do it now. Smart life. This is very important. I hope you appreciate these smart life segments. We put a lot into them.

And this is directly because we want you to have the best life you can possibly have. So there's a study, the European Heart Journal puts it out. It says, now, if you consume a little dairy, it could help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Whoa, wait, wait, what do I mean? We weren't supposed to have any dairy. It's a low-fat milk, 2% this, stuff about that, no cheese, no ice cream, no dairy. bad cow bad cow but now it's okay a couple of times a week to have that little dairy okay now all of this is remember you couldn't eat eggs down then you could eat eggs now then you couldn't

again and you can't eat bacon but maybe you can eat turkey bacon remember all this it's just you'll drive you nuts ignore it eat in moderation so I eat whole milk I don't like the 2% watery stuff but I don't drink a lot of it I put it on a cereal all right I have a little cheese once in a while but I'm not a cheese whiz guy I'm you know once in a while just moderation little ice cream that's my weakness only two times a week though okay moderation and everything because if you're not moderate you could get diabetes which you don't want so the estimate is that by the year 2050 all right that's 27 years from now one billion people worldwide

why we'll have diabetes. And all that is is blood sugar. So when you go to the doctor and you should go every year, you haven't tested your blood sugar. And if it's in the pre-diabetes cycle, you've got to cut back to sugar. That's the most important thing. Get that sugar down. Fruit juice is a killer. But now they have fruit juice that tastes pretty good, that's lower. All right, nothing over 15 grams. And on a label, you see, okay? How many grams is you? sugar. Fifteen, if it's above that, no. Below that, if it's 10 to 15, you can, if it's below 10, you're good. Smart life. Stay in history, July 11, 1955, President Dwight Eisenhower signs a bill requiring the inscription in God we trust on all paper and coin currency in the

USA. I write a message of the day about it, how God was happy with that. How do I know? Well, I know. Good connections. Anyway, that happened 68 years ago. It's been challenged and challenged and challenged and challenged, still there. In fact, it's the national motto. Did you know that?

A lot of people think e pluribus unum, Latin, for out of many one, is the national motto. It isn't. It's been replaced by in God we trust. The atheist drives them nuts. But the Supreme Court has ruled consistently. ruled consistently that this is not a promotion of a certain religion. It's not. It is a sentiment and it's allowed. Okay, Dwight Eisen now. That's what he did. Got a good mail and a final thought.

We'll be right back with those. Let's go to the mail. Francisco writes, people see and hear what they want to see and hear, Bill. I was talking to an old friend about the Biden Money Trail and the different accounts corporations banks and all of the stuff that's been reported his answer they all do it there go they doesn't care and there are millions and millions of americans don't care what the biden's did don't care not in the least and there are millions of millions americans that don't care what trump did perry hey bill once again it's most evident the reason for our corruption in the country is lack of an honest media that is absolutely true corrupt media leads and makes it much easier for corrupt politicians to operate.

Catherine, Partham, Wyndham, New Hampshire. Bill, did I hear you say that if Fatta McGrath was placed in front of a congressional committee, she could not plead the fifth. Why would she not charge with any crime? Fatta McGraths is the wife of U.S. attorney Matthew Graves in Washington, D.C., Matthew Graves refused to cooperate in the Biden investigation. Fatta McRae has been to the White House 28 times with no explanation. But she's not charged any crime.

It's not illegal to go to the White House or take a message at the White House. It's not illegal. So if she would ever plead a fifth, then all kinds of doors opened. Gabriel Caponera. Sorry, Gabe. Gabriel Caponera, Chicago. Why are so many people once thought noble willing to fall on their swords for the Biden family? I don't know any people willing to fall on their swords for the Biden family who I thought were noble.

Can you send me some names? I don't know any. Mostly zealots. Joseph Molineli, Kwag, Long Island. Bill, you stated Russia is our number one enemy. I thought it was China. It's Russia because Russia is militarizing and acting to, invade other countries. China has not yet done that, unless you want to count to bet decades ago.

Linda Horwedge, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I read your message today and I have a question. Do you think that if neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden were in the race of presidency, people would vote with their hearts and brains instead of hatred? I think it would be a little easier for zealots to take an objective look if both men were not in there. But, you know, to launch out. Sandy, a manfredi, Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, there's no way a teacher in the U.S.

can confiscate a phone from a kid. All hell would break loose. Too many kids have no respect for teachers. Sandy, you know, look, the school is a right to make rules in the classroom. If the school's rule is the kid doesn't have a cell phone while in the class

out, keep it in a backpack or something, then the kid violates the rules, you just send the kid right down of the principal. That's it. Principal has to enforce the rules. And if you don't, then you're going to have chaos. And a lot of schools do. Okay, killing the witches, we're getting good buzz. We sent out a few copies for review. Everybody likes it. So that book comes out, September 26. If you want to pre-order, Bill O'Reilly.com, Amazon Barnes & Noble, you know the drill.

Where they did not be restive, R-E-S-T-I-V-E, when writing to me, bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, please. Final thought in a moment. All right, let's do the final thought here. Of course, with this new July 24th special for premium and concierge members about the Biden

investigation, which I'm in the forefront now, we are going to stay on the story, obviously. But the story is going to be difficult in August because Congress goes on recess from July 31st, Monday, until September 4th, after Labor Day. So no committee hearings, all right? Nothing's going to go on, but there will be stuff. And now I'm going to work. I'm going to take some days off in August toward the end. But that's a good time for me to talk to a bunch of congresspeople in private and get an idea of what's going to happen in September. That's the big push.

Big push is September until the primaries start to vote in January. I don't think Biden's going to make it. I've said that and said that and said that. But boy, oh boy, evidence is mounting. anyway we're going to be your go-to people and the final thought is i hope you will become premium and concierge members you stay with us through the summer we will have the best reporting on the biden family finance story thank you for watching no spin news tonight thank you for listening our affiliates all across the country see you again tomorrow
