Introduction:

Hey BillOReilly.com Premium Members, welcome to the No Spin News, without me. I’m on vacation but tonight we have the best of my interviews on this podcast and it is a rollicking affair, it will not bore you, you will learn. So that’s what we’re going to do, I’ll be back on Monday but we want everyone to continue to go to the website. As you know, I’ll be tweeting and sending stuff in and annoying everyone as I usually do and I’ll tell you all about my vacation on Monday, when I get back. All right so let’s roll that special, here are the best interviews we have done on BillOReilly.com.

Brett Tolman interview:

 Let's go over to the Trump team So, Rudy Giuliani comes on board in an effort to get everything out on the table because of the raid on Michael Cohen's office by the FBI, he says, 'yeah Cohen paid $130K to this woman and it didn't come out of campaign fund, so end of story. Is it end of story? 

"Well, you know even if that was the end of story in terms of what actually occurred and we've got, we've got a grasp of it, the media right now is not going to let it be the end of the story." 

Absolutely, I'm just talking about legal, I don't care about the media, they're dishonest, they're killing themselves, they're committing media suicide. But just in the realm of the law, no intrusion on campaign funds Trump decides through his attorney to settle this case or whatever it is, it's not a violation, is it? 

"If it doesn't have a connection to the campaign funds and he could, he's a private citizen, at that point when this is happening, you also don't know what latitude he's given his attorneys, who do have the ability to act on his behalf." 

We don't know yet. 

"Yeah, we don't, we don't know. He has every ability every ability to settle a case, now or then." 

Now, settlements don't mean anything anymore because people like Ms. Daniels go out and violate the settlement terms but that's another story. So then Giuliani, after he says that, and as you rightly pointed out the media is never gonna let it go, they're going to continue to do this. Then he says something pretty compelling that Donald Trump is not going to sit down in a verbal Q and A with the Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, was that a wise thing for Rudy Giuliani to say?

"I don't fault him for saying it, I think that it needs to be, there needs to be a very candid discussion between the parties and if they think they're going to, you know, they're going to be able to get what they want right off the bat, I mean you look at those questions, and Bill, you've said this before, but you look at the questions they already know a lot of the answers to those questions, in a lot of ways it's just looking to trip up, you know the individual whoever is the target, you ask those kind of questions you just want to make sure you have an ability to try to find some fault in their response that doesn't match with what has previously been said, so any defense attorney that that is going to be worth their salt, is going to say I'm very concerned about going into a meeting where you can do nothing but hurt your position legally." 

Yeah, because you don't know what General Flynn has told them, remember that Mueller didn't want him sentenced, wanted to push back Flynn's sentencing until June because he didn't really say why, he just wanted it put back so I said last week, if I were the lead attorney I would say we're not going to talk to Robert Mueller face to face, we will answer writing, questions, written questions under oath, but we're not going to talk to him. And if you subpoena him to testify in front of a criminal grand jury, we're going to take the Fifth and we're going to tell the American people why we're taking the Fifth. Now, today it services that that's being considered, I guess they watched the podcast here, that Giuliani says, yeah you know, we might take the Fifth. What do you think's going to happen on that front?

"You know that, you're absolutely right, written interrogatories or written answers to those questions might be suitable because then you can control the dialogue and the follw up question of concern. And going into, you know, this is a grand jury subpoena that they would use, before I'd even consider taking the Fifth I would fight it, if your client is the sitting President of the United States, on the ability of the special counsel to subpoena and put him in front of the grand jury." 

Yeah, they could fight it and go up to the Supreme Court and it would take some time to do it but then it never gets resolved, you see it never, it keeps going and going and going and going and going and going.

Katrina Pierson interview:

So, what would you want Jeff Sessions to do? He got caught up in the Russian collusion thing because he did speak to the Russian ambassador. So he was linked in to that. He didn't do anything nefarious it was a party. So he got out of it. Right. But what would you want Sessions to do that he isn't doing?

"But my point is that he has essentially evaporated throughout the process." 

Yeah, but he's recused. 

"But he can recuse himself at this point, there is no Russia collusion, there is no evidence." 

Katrina, do you have a specific thing you want Sessions to do? 

"Yes, I want Jeff Sessions to unrecuse himself, establish that there is no evidence of Russia collusion and shut down the Mueller investigation. This is costing taxpayers millions of dollars, people are losing their livelihoods, their homes, their professions..." 

That's not going to happen. 

"They're being hurt number of ways, over nothing." 

I don't think that's a smart thing to do, shut down the Mueller investigation, I think that it's so far along now and the IG report, I believe is going to be favorable to the Trump team, if it isn't then it's a whole different ball game, but I wouldn't shut anything down now. Let it play out. If you shut it down then you're going to give the other side more ammunition.

Dennis Miller interview:

 So, has politically correct behavior and pressure influenced you at all in the way you present? 

"Sure. That's what they want, that's what they're going to get. When I was young and I was more fiery, I'd fight them. Do you really want to come under that's, that hammer? I don't at age 64, I'll be honest with you. It's, I don't think it's coming back, you know me we've had this talk, I don't find it funny, I find it disturbing, I don't sense anybody on that side of the aisle who's doing all this finds it disturbing and I don't quite see what's going to bring it back. Maybe I read an interesting article about Kanye West, might of torn a hole in the fabric of it all, by coming out and saying he loves Trump. It might take somebody from that side who's thought to be you know, a Salient cogent social commentator, I don't know much about hip hop but I do know that my kid thinks he's brilliant, my one son. Maybe it takes something like that but I do remember this, I watched Kanye West for years and he always seemed insolent and angry and often drunk when I would see him at these awards ceremonies, and nobody ever said a word to him, they chalked it up to artistic license and then I remember around a year ago he said if I had voted I would have voted for Donald Trump and I think his family and loved ones had him involuntarily committed later that week to a sanitarium, that'll shut, and I'm not even kidding there. I remember they put him in, I thought that's what you have to do to be committed by your loved ones, that's when the intervention comes now when you say something like well I think Candace Owens makes sense, now they're out to get him. So I can't even find it mirthful, I can't find anything about it, where you say, yeah isn't that crazy, it is crazy. And would I, would I alter certain things I would say in these times? Yeah I would." 

How about the other comics that you know, are they angry that they cannot express themselves the way they could about all topics, say even 10-15 years ago. 

I don't think so, I think that, listen even when you're even when you're in the room as they say, I think people watch themselves now. I don't know what to say, Bill, it is a pretty crazy thing that is happening. It's almost like Orwell missed it by 35 years." 

Yeah.

"But I think, I think if you told him that you can't use certain phrases or you can't watch certain movies that are considered classics or you can't listen to that or if you say this they try to ruin you. I think Orwell would say, 'well I'm looking to be, I don't want to be so on the nose about it, I wanted to be a little more defracted. It is weird times out there and the people who are making it weird, believe they're making it weird in the name of progressive liberalism and that's an odd mix. I don't know what to say, they feel they're right." 

You know Mel Brooks was in World War II, he fought in Germany and he was very affected by the Holocaust and everything else. And now his movie that he won an Oscar for best screenplay, if he had written that now, number one it wouldn't get made, they wouldn't make it. And number two, it would be a micro-aggression to all these people who are so sensitive they can't even delineate satire, which obviously The Producers is satirizing, they're not maliciously poking fun at anything, other than the fact that Hitler was such an idiot. If you watch the movie here, Dick Shawn plays him as an idiot. OK. But I'm disturbed because it goes into every part of our lives now and now we can't, we don't have freedom of speech anymore because if we say something, even a harmless jest, then it gets rammed down your throat as you're some kind of racist fascist person. I mean what has happened? 

"I would say that most things, I'll continue to say. But when you ask me candidly are there certain things, put it this way forget micro-aggression, if Mel Brooks made Blazing Saddles now and used some of that language it would not be a micro-aggression, it would be a macro-aggression on the rise." 

Yep. 

"Mel Brooks if he was of a certain age, would have to be destroyed if he was in his prime and I can't tell you if they re-released that film in a theater, just hypothetically and it's not going to happen, but if somebody said it's time for a re-release of this, I think they'd try to destroy what is Mel today? 90. I think they would go after him now." 

Bernie and Sid Interview:

Now, Comey is all over every place. Do your listeners care? 

"They do care, yeah, yeah. And I think a lot of people are down on him. Of course, as you know, both the Democrats and Republicans are down on him together but he comes off as a self-serving, double talking sneak with delusions of grandeur. I think he has a Brian Williams sickness in his head, something wrong with this guy. But listen the bottom line is this, Bill he oversaw an FBI that was corrupt, that engaged in a conspiracy along with the Department of Justice, the Hillary Clinton campaign, to exonerate her, to get her elected president. And of course, as you know to set up the President, the now President of the United States, Trump in case he won. Which they did!" 

So, you have seen the inspector general's report of the Justice Department. Bernard McGuirk has seen it!? 

"You don't have to see it, you don't have to see it!" 

What if it contradicts what you just said?

It doesn't, because the facts are out there already, for anybody to connect the dots, anybody with half of a brain can connect the dots." 

That's report is going to be issued in two weeks because, because the inspector general is going to Congress to talk about it. 

"But we already know McCabe lied."

That's already been out. 

"The Strzok-Page, from Lisa Page." 

So you expect the inspector general to excoriate, word of the day excoriate, James Comey. 

"Word of the day, write it down." 

Do you? 

"I do. And look for me it came down to one simple thing. First, of all, two things. One, he made this really elaborate argument why Hillary Clinton was guilty for a good 30 minutes, and then went on to say but we're not going to think about it. That was strange.”

"That was obstruction of justice right there." 

"And then when he goes and he says about Hillary Clinton, that he thought she was going to win and then he says and by the way, Bill if I knew that she was not going to win, maybe I wouldn't have come out and said what I said." 

This is four or five days before the election. So, he wanted to cover his butt. 

"Correct." 

All right. So, saying well the FBI knew but they didn't say so. Well that's what I've always reported. 

"We know this, we found this out." 

Yeah. 

"The NYPD had all of this before the FBI did, they were about to come out and release all of this, the FBI found that out. So, that's why Jim Comey came out in the first place." 

But why was NYPD involved? 

"They were involved because they seized Anthony Weiner's laptop, them the FBI." 

Oh so, the NYPD grab Wiener's laptop Weiner married to Huma Abedin. 

"That's exactly right."

All right. Who transferred her Hillary Clinton e-mails to her husband. 

"That's right."

The NYPD got it, they were going to release it and the FBI panicked and had to put it up.

"They had it for 30 days until McCabe came out with that announcement. And that's the reason why, so he's even lying about that, that will come out, eventually."

That's a good piece of information, I did not know. Now, when your viewers call you, so Comey is getting it from the left and the right. 

"Right." 

He has the Hillary lovers, and there's a lot of them here in New York City. 

"Right." 

They despise Comey, and then the right wing obviously hates him. All right does anybody stick up for him? 

Yes. The people that really, really despise Donald Trump, are able to put the Hillary stuff aside and the right stuff aside because they still feel like he's the enemy of Donald Trump and the enemy of Donald Trump is a friend of mine. So, there is still a, more than a small percentage I would say a decent amount of people that even though they really don't Comey, they like Donald Trump less, so they don't necessarily kill Comey because he's still the guy they believe is telling more truths than the President." 

"The book should have been called 50 Shades of grandstanding garbage, that's what it should have been called, or sex lies and vitriol. That's what it should've been called." 

"I like that." 

"Because it's just papa's garbage." 

So, we don't expect Comey to be coming on the Bernie and Sid show any time soon? Obviously, he'd never come up against me, in a million years. 

"We have our fingers crossed." 

No, he'd never do that.

Joe DiGenova interview:

Why do you believe James Comey is corrupt? 

"Because Bill, I've been a prosecutor a U.S. attorney and independent counsel and a special counsel to the House of Representatives. When Comey says that no reasonable prosecutor would have brought a case against Hillary Clinton, he is lying, he is absolutely wrong. The case against Hillary Clinton was a case that should have been presented to a grand jury, there should have been search warrants, there should have been subpoenas, there should have been an indictment. In fact, anybody with an ounce of brains who's worked at the Department of Justice, knows that Hillary Clinton broke the law and everybody knows that James Comey purposely threw the case to protect her and what you said earlier about the Comey family's political interest in Hillary Clinton makes it abundantly clear that Mr. Comey acted for political reasons and I think he'd besmirched his office, and I think he'd besmirched the Department of Justice, and that's why I call him a dirty cop." 

"Why then would he four days before the vote come out and say we're reopening the case, we found new stuff that Hillary Clinton may have done, why would you do that? 

"I think you are dealing with one of the most bizarre troubled individuals who has ever held the FBI director's office, just think about it, Bill. Can you picture William Webster or Louis Freeh going on television the way he did last night and saying the things that he said about a president of the United States? He has, as you said in your monologue probably for many years to come, destroyed the relationship between any president and the FBI. What a horrible, horrible thing for him to have done. That's just part of the, see this animus that he has for President Trump affected his judgment, he didn't want Trump to be President. And I had believed for two years or more, that there was a plot a brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton illegally and if she'd lost to frame Donald Trump with a crime, every single thing we've seen plays out that theory."

Lanny Davis interview:

All right. But the attorney general, the inspector general report is going to say whether or not the FBI did its due diligence on Hillary Clinton's e-mail and Trump Russian collusion. All right. It's going to say yes or no. And so Trump should just hold his fire, his powder until we know what that report is going to say. 

"I agree because the irony may be, I was interviewed by Inspector General, I've only told one reporter that, and it was never written so this is my first time to say that, I was interviewed after my making a phone call and researching my book that I considered James Comey to have acted unethically and that he should have been fired by Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch because he violated Justice Department policies by holding a press conference and expressing his opinion publicly on the evidence. That's a firing offense. His decision to write a letter 11 days before the election, whether it hurt Clinton or hurt Trump was not consistent with 50 years of Justice Department policy to do nothing that might impact Presidential election.". 

So you told the inspector general what you just told my audience here? 

"I did and I gave them documents, documents that were never seen before but posted two months after the election, that showed that the whole email investigation was botched. So, I think that's where the inspector general will come down on Comey, very hard as well as on McCabe." 

OK so that's fascinating, that's fascinating. So, once you have investigations that are tainted and it doesn't really matter which way they're tainted. All right then the President of the United States can call and so can Hillary Clinton, say hey you know, I didn't get a fair shake on this, this is what happened, it shouldn't happen and then everything else surrounding it becomes suspect. So, let's get back to the, and I think people know that. 

OK so that's fascinating, that's fascinating

Jordan Peterson interview:

 We are seeing an attack on the President of the United States by the media that's unprecedented. They want him out of there. They're not reporting, they're trying to hang him. They want him out, the corporate chieftains want him removed. It's not about reporting anymore and the chaos that's ensued, whether you like Trump or not. I mean, I don't know how the man does his job every day.

"Yeah well it reminds me of the political situation that surrounded Nixon in the 70s. You know, this is the last time that I saw that much political tension, I think emanating from the United States, internal political tension. So." 

It's a different situation, though.

"Yeah, oh yeah it is. It is." 

Because this is, this is naked advocacy for money, too. I mean the people who are on the side of removing President Trump, they can make big money. And then you have the, you know the women's movement, that we now know is tied into the far left. All right. And you have this unbelievable, massing of totalitarian forces, I think it is really frightening. 

"Well part of the problem, Bill, as far as I can tell is that there is no simple way of, of clearly defining the ideas on the left that go too far. You know, because each of the ideas taken singly have a certain amount of attraction, especially to people who are compassionate. But if you get the ideas pushed far enough, like I would say they're pushed too far for example when the radical leftist go after equality of outcome. Then things take a vicious tilt in a totalitarian direction but it's not easy to explain that to people who don't know anything about history and who don't know anything about philosophy. It's hard to put your finger on exactly why that's a bad idea." 

But there is a backlash brewing. Look, if Mueller indicts Donald Trump, there's going to be a civil war in this country in the United States. 

"Well, let's hope it doesn't get to that. Do you think they'll indict him?". 

No, I don't think he will. And I think the Inspector General of the Justice Department is going to save President Trump.
