Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News.
Tuesday, January 30th, 2024, stand up for your country.
We got two big stories in motion.
And as you may know, we tape late afternoon.
Sometimes, you know, the news breaks after we're off.
but we are following these stories very intensely.
The first one is the border bill.
All right, Joe Biden trying to save his administration
and the Democratic Party backing him up
with some kind of new bill that would tighten up the border.
We don't know what's in it,
but we are on it and we will have the latest.
Also, what kind of military action
will America take against Iran?
Joe Biden has to do something, doesn't want to.
Admitz he doesn't want to.
but he has to after three American service people were killed on Sunday by Iranian proxies.
So let's begin with the southern border. That is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
Well, this bill is a mystery. There's only been one leak. I'll get to that in a moment.
But there is a huge pushback on ideological grounds. So,
Donald Trump, conservatives, Republicans, they don't want to let Biden to use a cliche off the hook.
So for three years, Joe Biden has destroyed national security by failing to enforce immigration law.
There's no two sides to that story.
So now Biden's trying to save himself by pushing some bill into Congress.
Okay, but you don't take size to, you know, with the bill.
bill says. Of course, that doesn't stop the dishonest media and dishonest politicians.
It'll take slides because they don't care. I do. I care. So NBC and CBS are reporting based on
anonymous sources, which we never use here. Okay, they're reporting that there is in the bill
a trigger to stop anyone from coming across the border if crossings reach 8,500 in a day
or 5,000 a day over a seven-week period. Very confusing. Okay, but this eliminates my vote if I'm in
Congress. I'm not going to give a you come on in up to a certain point every day and then we
release you into the country and do whatever you want to do, I'm not voting for that.
Would you? Would you vote for that? Let me just give you the math on it. If you allow 5,000
migrants in a day, that would be almost two million a year. And who's going to count the migrants,
by the way? It's a pretty big border, about 3,000 miles. So this is, if I see that in a bill,
not voting for the bill. Okay? It's pretty simple. But I don't know if it's in the bill or not.
So it's got to come out this week because the Senate has set the vote on it next week.
And the Senate will probably pass it, I guess, because most Democrats, they control the Senate.
But Trump is telling all Republicans, don't vote for the bill. But Trump doesn't know what's in it yet.
hold your fire okay so last night I'm on News Nation and I do News Nation
at the 7 o'clock program on Monday and the Cuomo 8 o'clock program on Wednesday
and the ratings for my segments are very good and you should watch them
because there's a good back and forth so Leland Vitterd former Fox guy runs a 7 o'clock
hour on News Nation he's saying well there's a strategy this is a strategy by
the Biden administration. And that's true. But here's how I answered that question. Go.
So what do you mean? Biden's strategy? What strategy? I failed with the economy, 17% inflation for
necessities. I failed at the border. I failed keeping the peace around the world. I failed controlling
government spending. What's the strategy, Leland? What's he going to run on? I don't go to work three
out of seven days. Nobody knows where I am today, Monday. Where is he today? Nobody knows.
It's insane. He's got nothing to run on. Keep that in mind. That even if a bill would pass,
a watered down border security bill, which the media desperately wants to happen, okay,
Biden is still an abject failure. Okay. And anybody who doesn't know that,
doesn't want to know it and we'll get to that at the back end of the program all right but keep
this in mind about 25% of our fellow country men and women want an open border one out of four
they want it for a variety of reasons so this data comes to us from CRC research it's a
conservative group tied in with the federalist society. All right. So the question was,
would you more or less be likely to support a candidate who says that immigration is healthy for
the U.S. and we should keep open borders? Okay, total. More likely to support the candidate,
35 percent, less likely 57 percent, unsure not. Republicans, more likely 18 percent. That's a high
number. I don't believe 18 percent of Republicans want an open border.
Less likely 78, unsure, 5.
Democrats, more likely 55%, less likely 36, unsure 5.
Okay, I believe the Democrat number.
There are progressive leftists, excuse me,
who want to change the demographic of America
so that the so-called white patriarchy is dissolved.
And the only way you do that is by allowing a massive amount of people of color and foreign nationals into the country.
That's how you do it.
And that's the thinking.
Got to get rid of the white men.
All right?
So we'll do it by opening the board.
Now, just the fact that I said that, I'm a racist.
See, that's the defense.
Everybody knows what I'm saying is true.
But if you say it aloud, you're a racist.
So I don't care anymore, okay?
I give more money, charitable money to minorities than any other journalist alive.
I'll challenge any journalist up against my foundation.
So call me whatever you want to call me.
Anyway, this whole thing is white hot, and we are on it.
And I don't think the new border bill.
is going to pass. Because if it was strong and it did stop dead, the migrants coming here,
which Joe Biden could do by executive order. Executive order could do it. Doesn't need a
legislation, okay, but they don't want to stop it. Biden does not want to stop. If you did,
it would have stopped a long time ago. That's a memo. All right, Biden today, in the face of
military action against Iran, is raising money in Florida. Not a good look for the whole
world, not just for the country. So Joe Biden has said now to the press, he knows what he's going to do
to Iran. He knows what he's going to do. He won't tell us, and that's smart. Why would you tip
off the mowers? Don't tell anybody, but he said, I know what we're going to do. But in the meantime,
I'm going to out of Florida and get money for me and my re-election Democratic Party. Not a good
look. Not surprised. So the three U.S.
service people in Jordan are identified now. Sergeant William Jerome Rivers, 46 years old,
Georgia, Specialist Kennedy Sanders, 24, Georgia. Brianna Moffitt, 23, Georgia. Okay, we were very, very
sorry for that. So they're dead. Forty others injured by a Jerome. And now the Pentagon
admits that they should have shot down that drone, but they thought it was a friendly.
Mistakes are made in war. I understand, but that's a pretty a mistake.
Okay, so Biden announced right before tape time. He's going to go Friday to Dover, Delaware,
where KIAs killed in action, come back to the United States, and meet with the families.
That's a good thing. Not criticizing Biden for doing it.
to do it. The optics would be insane. Has to do it. But it's a good thing that he does.
Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. 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. Tharu, 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

the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326,

Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text bill to 998899.
Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and every
everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.
Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music,
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is disturbing. So often I'll run a soundbite because I believe that our president is in the early stage dimension.
That's where he is. And I run soundbites to back up.
up what I'm saying. Well, his spokesperson, Corinne Jean-Priere, certainly is not in early stage
dimension. Yet, some of her answers to questions are bizarre. Go.
Our deepest, obviously, our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out
to the families who lost three, three brave, three folks who are, who are military folks,
who are brave, who are always fighting,
who are fighting on behalf of this administration,
of the American people, obviously, more so, more importantly.
That's embarrassing.
That makes Kamala Harris look like me.
Okay?
That's embarrassing.
But she could not articulate the sympathies of the Biden administration
about the three deaths.
The woman could not do it.
And she's the chief White House spokesperson.
Okay, Mayorcas update, he's going to be impeached.
There isn't a Republican in the House that's going to vote against impeaching him
because that would disqualify them from being a Republican.
So every Republican, the House representative is going to vote to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas,
head of Homeland Security.
That should happen any time.
It has to happen this week because there'll be a full House vote next week.
It will be interesting to see if any Democrats vote for convicting, I'm sorry, impeaching
Mayorcas.
Now, we know the Senate's not going to vote to convict.
Never in a million years with it.
Because you're really convicting Joe Biden because Mayorgas does what he's told.
But in the House, are any Democrats going to say, yeah, the guy,
won't do his job and has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths over the years, the three-year
period, drug ODs, cartel murders, you name it. Okay? So you've got to get out of there. One
Democrat in the House going to do that? I don't know. I don't know. So that's in play.
Donald Trump. You may remember that in October, let me get the date here. I don't even know if I have the date.
I don't have the date at my fingertips. I should have it, but I don't. So a man named Little John, okay, Charles Little John. There's Charles.
38 years old, working for the IRS as a consultant.
In 2017, he signed on, and then he leaked Donald Trump's income tax returns, along with Senator
Rick Scott, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Elon Musk, on and on and on,
a whole bunch of them.
And he leaked it to the New York Times.
So now he's been convicted of that one count only.
He could have been charged with 30 counts because of all these other people.
But the Justice Department, okay, count of one count.
Got convicted, got five years the max.
The judge was so appalled by what the guy did.
Now, the guy says, oh, I did it for the good of the country.
Yeah, they all do that.
But now he says he's sorry because he's going to federal prison for five years.
All right.
And he should.
Now, he linked it to the New York Times.
The New York Times doesn't like the fact that he was charged and convicted.
Now, the New York Times, you know, you have to go back to the Pentagon Papers.
You have to go back to all of that.
The federal courts don't like to charge the media.
Okay.
A operation called ProPublica, remember that?
ProPublica.
Very, very far-left organization.
They did 50 stories embarrassing all of these people that Little John leaked their tax returns.
50.
So just keep that in mind the next time you hear the words pro-public for the public.
No.
These people who got their tax returns leaked are the public.
Got it?
Now, what would I do?
Say Charles Littlejohn called me up and said,
I got Trump's tax return and all these tax returns.
You want to see him.
Now, I know it's illegal because you can't do that, right?
And I would say, no, I don't want to see them.
Because I'm not going to participate in a crime.
I said, but if you want to send me a memo,
all right, telling me what you learn,
in a non-specific way, I'll take a look at the memo.
But I don't want numbers.
I don't want any of that.
Okay?
Then if I thought there was some kind of criminality involved on a part of the people
that Little John was ratting on, then I would tell you, and I wouldn't tell you how.
I'd say, look, this might want to be looked into.
You can do this kind of reporting without breaking.
the law. New York Times should know that, but they don't because they don't care. Now, if somebody
leaked to the New York Times, Joe Biden's tax, and they're public, but say he did something
wrong on a tax realm, he and Hunter, and say the Times got it. Do you think the time's going to
put that out there? I don't know. They might. Okay, Georgia. Now, this whole case, Fannie
Willis, Trump's the luckiest guy in a world in Georgia.
Luckyest guy in a world.
Whole case is falling apart.
All right, this is where Fannie Willis, Fulton County District Attorney,
charging Trump and 19 others interfering in the presidential Georgia vote.
So Fannie, it looks like, I got 10 laws that she may have violated.
She didn't title a due process, but this is insane, okay?
Okay. So on February 15th, the judge in Georgia is going to rule whether Fannie gets kicked
off the case. And he has to say yes. He has to. There was an interesting soundbite on Fox
about this from a formal, former federal prosecutor. Go. So I think that is something that
needs a very deep investigation, but even more concerning now is these reports that we hear
that Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade were taking meetings at the White House.
And what I really want to know about those meetings is whether there was an improper purpose.
Were they trying to set the timing up so that it would interfere with the 2024 election?
That's absolutely the most important part of the story.
So if we had an honest justice department, which we don't, we don't have an honest attorney general or FBI chief,
they would now be investigating the Justice Department why a state county prosecutor
went to the White House twice on the state of George's dime during this Trump investigation.
Why?
Okay, but Merrick Garland, the Attorney General in the United States, never going to do it.
And neither is Christopher Ray.
Never.
That is called corruption.
That is part of the reason that Americans have to vote the Democrats out.
All of them have to go, or you're just going to have more and more and more corruption.
It's just a point.
But summing it up, this Fannie Willis thing, gone.
And what's going to happen, I predict, is the judge is going to throw her off the case.
And then it goes to the prosecuting attorney's counsel of Georgia
and have found another county.
Okay, they won't throw the case out entirely.
This is six, nine members, six DAs, three state court solicitors,
get together and say, agree upon another county
to hear this case against Trump and 19 others.
That's going to take a long time.
So, and then if the Trump lawyers are smart,
and there's debate on that,
They'll take this to the federal level on prosecutorial misconduct
and try to get the whole thing thrown out by a federal judge,
particularly if they can tie in Willis to the White House.
Okay, so Trump is lucky because this thing is going to vanish.
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 1. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful

You can find it said Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
Now, podcasts, it gets me riled up when somebody says, oh, Bill O'Reilly does a podcast.
I do not do a podcast.
I'm not skilled enough to do a podcast.
I can't sit there for three hours like Rogan and do whatever Rogan does.
I can't.
Okay?
But there are four million podcasts now underway in America.
And 10% of the adult population watches these podcasts.
And it's good that they're there.
People should be able to express themselves and get an audience to see what they have to say, right?
Podcast.
Okay.
What we do here is a broadcast.
Okay, we don't sit around and ruminate and we don't do anything of that.
This is a very methodically produced and delivered daily newscast.
So that's the difference.
There is a new podcast on the first TV, which carries the no-spin news, as you know,
just started Monday.
It's hosted by a guy named Josh Hammer.
He is a senior editor at large.
for Newsweek, the Internet magazine.
And I've been around, the journalist.
He comes to us from Miami, Florida.
So why do we need 4,0.1 podcasts?
Well, Bill, it's great to join you.
As I told you off air, I really grew up watching your program.
So it's really an honor and a privilege.
So we feel that there is no one currently covering
all of the various litigation and law fair
affecting the 2024 presidential election, who is being fair and honest about it. Now, you have
many podcasts on the left from the New York Times, NPR, CNN, Washington Post, from that whole
media or a bit that are trying to cover the various Trump-related legal drama, such as the
Fannie Wilson incident that you were just talking about, but they're obviously doing so through
a very specific analytical prism, a vehemently anti-Trump, you might say TDS, Trump-Trump
derangement syndrome inflicted prison. On the other hand, you have some commentators on the right
who I think, you know, for trying to be fair here, probably also are not entirely fair, that they
are so in Trump apologist mode that they're trying to remove kind of their legal analysis cap and just
trying to offer up any kind of defense that they possibly can. I would like to think, Bill, and I guess
we'll see if this experiment is successful, but I'm just going to call it like I see it. I'm an
attorney by background. I still speak to federal society groups of law schools all across the
country, even published actually a piece of constitutional scholarship earlier this month.
I'm a very conservative guy, but I actually openly supported Ron DeSantis in the primary,
so I don't hold any water for Donald Trump. I'm a conservative lawyer who's going to call it like
they see it. And we're on the show bill. We're going to talk not just about Trump's legal trials.
We're going to talk also about Hunter Biden. Of course, his gun prosecution, his tax prosecution.
We'll talk about the question of 14th Amendment Section 3, Insurrection Clause, the question of
Trump ballot access all across the country.
occasionally we'll sprinkle in some other legal news as well so for example in my show this
morning i talked about the texas border dispute which reached the us let me stop you let me stop you there
just nuts and bolts before we get to the texas situation um how long is the podcast uh it's a short
form so it's only 15 to 20 minutes every morning it's trying just to get you the legal news of the
day 15 to 20 minutes five days a week yes sir okay and uh you're concentrating on um
policy that crosses the line into the legal realm. So I get a lot of mail on Texas, and I've been
very clear on it. The Supreme Court is a final word in this country on legal matters. And the most
recent ruling in Texas, five to four, was that if the federal authorities want to remove razor wire,
that the state of Texas has placed on federal land,
that they have the legal right to do it,
and Texas cannot stop that.
And I said, that ruling is compatible with the Constitution.
Would you say yes or no to that?
Look, I mean, Texas and the United States are both sovereign entities.
Well, you got to answer the question, Josh.
Based on the Constitution, would you
say the Supreme Court ruling upheld what the Constitution says.
So unfortunately, Bill, what the court held, I do not think that it is compatible with current
U.S. law, because if you look at current U.S. law, including the statute that's commonly referred
to as EDPUB, which was the statute passed after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1996,
you know, it is all-encompassing ubiquitous United States congressionally passed legislation
and that the United States has to protect the borders of this country. They have to detain
illegal migrants when they cross there.
That's a theory, and it's a correct theory.
But based on the law, okay?
And you can disagree with the law,
and I would say probably to most of our audience that I does,
that Governor Abbott's doing a right thing
by protecting the citizens of Texas,
by putting razor wire up, so migrants can't pour in.
I mean, I think the sympathies of the American people
are with Governor Abbott.
But the wording of the law, again, you can disagree with it, but it's clear.
And once the Supreme Court rules, that has got to be upheld or we have anarchy.
Would you agree with that?
I think it's a little more complicated than that, Bill.
I have to say I do.
So look, the United States, if you look at what the Supreme Court order said, they said that border patrol has the ability to go in and snip razor wire as they so choose.
Now, it's worth parsing that out legally because the Supreme Court order, as I think you just implicitly noted, was actually silent as to what the state of Texas can do.
It says nothing whatsoever as to what Greg Abbott's Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers can do when it comes to putting up new wire.
So it becomes something of a Mexican standoff, if you will, pun very much intended.
I don't disagree with any of that, okay?
The order clearly states that if the Border Patrol deems necessary, it can take the wire out.
And state of Texas cannot stop the water patrol from doing that.
But three days later, the state of Texas can put more wire back.
They don't violate the law by doing that according to this ruling because the ruling was so narrow.
Okay?
And that's what the state of Texas is telling you, saying, look, all right, go take it out, all right, but we're going to put it back.
And then they'll take it out again or whatever.
And Mexican standoff, cliche, but that's what it is.
However, if Governor Abbott put Texas Rangers down with the razor wire
and said to the federalies, don't touch our wire, he could be arrested and put in the prison.
That's what you can't do.
I would agree with you on that.
The order very clear.
Well, we're sympathetic on that.
And the reason that all this happened was because the federal government has jurisdiction over the borders of the United States, not the states, and federal law trump state law, always.
Now, the problem then becomes, what do you do when you have a president who will not enforce the law, which we have right now?
now. And this is the frustration on the right Republican Party, not enforcing the law. And people
are in danger in Texas and New Mexico and California and Arizona. All of that is true. But
there are mechanisms to remove the president if he won't enforce the law. Unfortunately, our
system is so corrupt now that the mechanism of impeachment is now a party thing. It's not like
it was in Watergate. I'll give you the last word on it.
Well, Bill, this whole dispute takes me back to the 2012 Supreme Court case, Arizona versus
United States, which was a very, very similar legal issue.
Arizona passed a strong anti-legal immigration law under then-Governor called SB 1070.
And the court did rule in a very divided ruling five, four.
They basically upheld parts of the law, struck down parts of the law.
But my favorite opinion from that case, which is the one that I quoted both on my new show
in on my column on Friday was the concurrence slash dissent of the late grade justice
Anthony Scalia. When he says, I think this is exactly right as a matter of constitutional law
101, because the states are sovereign entities, they have the right to exclude and to enforce
their own border with two exceptions bill, unless there are constitutional limitations to the
contrary or congressional impositions to the contrary. That's the Supremacy Clause of Article 6,
which you referenced earlier. I think the key point, though, for Scalia in Arizona and that I would
make here in Texas is that those two factors don't actually apply right now because there is
no congressional legislation that would affirmatively allow border patrol in this case to go in
and snip razor wire in defiance of pre-existing congressional statute so i think it is a little bit
more legally complicated of a situation but having said that i think that texas is absolutely doing
the right thing and i do think that bind is bluffing and that he's going to blink first when it
comes to this standoff as well all right well we'll have more challenges certainly in the next six
months. So the podcast is called America on trial. The guy I'm talking to right now with the beard
is Josh Hammer. And you can check him out every morning on the first. And you should. Josh,
smart guy. If anything else catches your eye on immigration front, let us know, Josh. Okay,
we appreciate you coming on. You bet, Bill. Thanks so much. Cheers. Smart life. So you got to start
your tax returns now. And this is very important.
very important because if you don't and you get into trouble, in the last year of the Biden
administration, the IRS is going to go wild. Forget about the new agent hirings. That's never
going to happen. But the government is desperate for revenue. So February 1st is this week.
You have to now start getting your tax stuff in order. If you have assets or
or make $80,000 a year or more,
you cannot do your taxes by yourself.
You are being a fool if you do.
You cannot do your taxes on the internet.
You must have a record and a human being.
That costs a little bit of money.
I understand, but you have to protect yourself.
So you've got to get a good tax attorney
or an accountant, okay?
Negotiate a fee because some, obviously some taxes, returns are more complicated than others.
You've got to trust the person, have a rapport with the person, make sure the person is going to return your phone calls,
and then you've got to assemble all the stuff, and they have to send it to you by the end of January.
And you walk it on over.
I wouldn't send it on over.
I walk it on over.
And you make duplicate copies of everything.
because the only way you can be punished by your state
or the federal government is if you are derelict.
If you do due diligence and can prove it,
even if there's a mistake made, okay, you're not going to be punished.
You have to pay back some money,
but it's not going to be all kinds of onerous stuff attached to it.
And then you have a provider.
And when you hire somebody, you have to read the contract.
If there's a mistake, are they responsible for the mistake?
That kind of thing.
So my accountant, Swifty, who I pay a lot of money to,
if there's a problem, Swifty's got to pick it up that I didn't cause.
So if Swifty and his employees make a mistake or don't do what they're supposed to do, they're responsible.
So this is very important, okay?
You got to pay attention now.
Because once it gets closer to April, and you can get extensions, they're not hard to get.
You can extend it.
So if you are chaotic and you don't really understand and you don't have a person you trust, extend it out.
You can do that.
That's a smart life tip.
All right, traffic.
The 10 worst cities in the country for traffic here they are, New York City, which is insane now.
insane to drive around New York City to Washington, D.C., not nearly as bad as New York.
New York is so far ahead.
It's like Cairo.
Have you ever been to Cairo, Egypt?
New York is worse than Cairo, which has no traffic enforcement at all in Egypt.
Third is San Francisco, nobody going there now, so that'll probably lessen.
Then Boston, the problem with Boston is street signs and it funnels traffic in from
the west and the south. But if you've got to go in through the north, you're going over
antiquated stuff. It's very hard to drive there. Chicago, the Dan Ryan, everybody knows. Baltimore,
I usually take the beltway around it. Seattle, again, not a lot of arteries in. Philadelphia,
Schuylkill, you do never, you do not ever want to go on a Schuylkill Expressway. L.A., crazy, insane.
L.A. should be third. It's worse in San Francisco.
And Miami is wall-to-wall in the winter because of all the tourists and people don't know where they're going.
And it's insane. So there they are, the worst traffic.
This day in history, January 30, 1973, G. Gordon Liddy and James McCorde found guilty of all counts in the Watergate.
Liddy is, you know, he was the flamboyant ex-Intel guy, McCord ex-C-I-A guy,
and they kind of masterminded the break-in at the Watergate headquarters.
Liddy was convicted of a burglary, conspiracy, refused to testify for the Senate.
52 months he got.
Okay?
And then he came out and got a big contract to be a radio talk show host.
I was on a show one time.
And then McCord just disappeared.
He only served four months.
We're writing the president's book, as you know, I'll tell you more about it in a second.
But Nixon was so dumb.
All he had to do, Nixon, was as soon as he found out about this breaking,
because he did not order the break in.
But it was his guys who did it.
We say, I'm sorry.
These guys were out of control.
I didn't know anything about it, but now I'm going to cooperate fully with the Justice Department
because we can't have this. And Nixon would have been clear forever if you had done that.
Okay, so the Watergate thing happened today.
We have The Mail, and we have a final thought about Irrational People Part 2.
We get a lot of mail on this, so it's important. Right back.
Okay, let's go to The Mail. We got Tanya.
Yeah.
Bill, you said it's very important to Republicans win the congressional majority.
Are they going to do that when the RNC has no money?
And tiny RNC has a lot of money.
And political action committee supporting the Republican Party loaded.
So they'll have a billion dollars they can spend.
Charles, you say Governor Abbott must comply with the Supreme Court's decision guarding the southern border.
Otherwise, the governor could be jailed.
Does this logic comply to President Biden?
Biden. So I'm glad you wrote. We, I think, went over it in minute detail with our guest
tonight. And there's a mechanism to punish President Biden, but his party will not cooperate.
Tom Christensen, Sandy, Utah. What a phony Biden is. First ain't office. He signed an executive
order reversing Trump remained in Mexico policy. Now he wants us to believe he can't do anything
about the border without new legislation. Why doesn't he sign an executive order? Of course.
course. Any intelligent person knows what this is. It's a giant charade.
Lisa Mahoney, Lexington, Kentucky. I heard you say, O'Reilly, if Trump is president, he would
broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. How can that happen when Putin needs to hang for war crimes?
Because Putin's never going to hang for war crimes until his own people turn against him.
Well, that's it.
As long as the Russian people support Putin,
not hanging for anything.
Not going on trial for anything.
Michael D. Leonardo, Tom's River, New Jersey,
if everything is Iran-backed, isn't it time to hit the head of the stake
and start World War III?
You've got to be careful now.
You can do it.
Read killing the killers.
Absolutely surgically hurt them.
that you go in heavy, World War III.
Richard Breeden in Florida,
are there no statute of limitations involving a civil lawsuit?
How is it possible to file against President Trump
if this carol thing occurred in 1996
because New York State, the progressive loons,
opened it up for a year that said,
even in 1814, if something happened to you in New York State,
you can try it in civil court.
Absolutely. That's what they did.
And that's what happened.
She exploited it.
Kathleen Babcock, Middletown, Road, Eidlin.
Please list some balanced conservative colleges for my history-loving grandson.
So, Kathleen, I'm going to give you one, but this is a concierge member request.
Okay?
So concierge members get this kind of a service.
I don't do this for the general public.
But right down the road from you is a school called Salve Regina University.
Excellent school.
But if you, you've got to be a concierge member,
if you want me to take a look at what your son's resume is
and where he might want to go.
That's concierge.
Rodney, thank you for your daily brief, Bill,
as well as your no-spin news.
We would have no idea what is really happening
around our country, if not for you.
I appreciate that, because that is the service that we provide.
Wayne Gooch, Durham, North Carolina.
I have followed you since the 90s,
just recently subscribed to the bill.

pre-orders for confronting the presidents. So really, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about
it. Okay. No skullduggery. I love that. Skull-duggery. When writing to me, bill at bill
O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name and town of you wish you will pine.
Back with a final thought. Okay, final thought, irrational people. I've gone over this and I've got
over this and I get a lot of mail. It's heartbreaking if you have an irrational person in your
family. A child, a parent, brother, sister, it's heartbreaking. My philosophy in the family
is to ignore the irrationality unless it hurts people. If it's just the
ravings of a far right person or a far left person. They're not hurting anybody. Let it go.
Be kind. Stay away from the, you know, change the subject, whatever. Family, try to keep the family
together. If it's outside, a close friend, then you got to do the same thing you do in the family.
But if it isn't, I'm telling you to wave goodbye. Irrational people, people who believe what they
want to believe, no matter what the evidence is. Not worth it. Not worth it. You got to seek out
people who are clear, thinking, and sincere. Differences of opinion are great. And there are many,
many issues where you can have valid opinions on both sides. But if somebody is a loon,
why do you want to hang with them
that's the final thought thank you for watching
and listening to the newsfin news we'll see you tomorrow
