Back in the very friendly confines of his home office, Bill began Wednesday's No Spin News with President Trump's important message on Iran, which he will deliver tomorrow.  "What we glean from our secret sources in Washington," Bill said, "is that the president will criticize Iran and 'decertify' them as a cooperative nation, but he won't pull completely out of the deal.  His speech will be tough on Iran and he will declare Iran's Revolutionary Guards as terrorists." 

Meanwhile, the president spent part of his Wednesday in York, Pennsylvania, where he continued to push his tax reform plan.  "This is a story directly relating to your life," Bill explained, "and today the president spoke with a lot of truckers.  He told them that the average tax cuts to American families will be $4,000 and that all business will pick up so there will be more jobs and opportunities in the trucking business.  If the tax cuts accomplish that, he'll be reelected unless some crazy stuff goes on." 

Turning to the National Football League, Bill laid out why that ongoing story is so important.  "This is not about football," he said, "this is part of the cultural civil war that we are going through.  The question is whether it is appropriate in the workplace for employees to protest against their country."  A new poll indicates that the vast majority of Americans believe NFL players should stand and be respectful during the National Anthem, while an astounding 69% of respondents said they are watching less football because of the protests. 

"Business is going down," Bill reported, "and there has been a big drop in the sale of jerseys and memorabilia.  When fewer people go to the games, it means less parking revenue and fewer sodas sold."  Bill then aired a segment from The View, during which San Francisco 49ers defensive back Eric Reid insisted that the protests have nothing to do with the flag, the Anthem, or the military.  Reid also accused President Trump of praising some neo-Nazis in Charlottesville as very fine people. 

"Eric Reid was going okay until he hit the Charlottesville thing," Bill opined, "because he doesn't know what he's talking about.  President Trump didn't say neo-Nazis were fine people, but that's what Eric Reid believes.  His protests are based on a major falsehood, but no one in the media will call him out on that.  Reid has the right to his opinion, but he does not have the right to spout falsehoods." 

For more on the NFL situation, Bill welcomed radio talk show host Sid Rosenberg, who has spent much of his career in sports broadcasting.  "We do have a cultural civil war here," Rosenberg began.  "I do believe there are voices that need to be heard, but it is disingenuous the way they are doing this.  Why not gather in Chicago, where kids are being killed every day?  This is getting nothing done!"  Bill suggested that about 10% of police officers, like 10% of pretty much any group, are not doing a good job.  "Kaepernick wanted to publicize police brutality," he pointed out, "but then he wore socks portraying police officers as pigs.  So what kind of credibility does Colin Kaepernick have?" 

Rosenberg agreed that Kaepernick's credibility is close to zero, and he again stressed that these protests are misplaced.  "Most of the crime is committed in the African American community," he stated, "so it's pretty obvious that more African Americans will be pulled over.  Let's be more accountable for our own communities and there will be fewer incidents."  Rosenberg concluded that there is probably very little that will convince some players to respect the flag and the National Anthem, saying, "They've already made up their minds that what they are doing is fine."  Bill ended the segment by declaring, "Trump won!" 

Bill turned to radical left-wing Drexel University professor George Ciccariello-Maher, who blamed white supremacy and white people in general for the Las Vegas slaughter.  This is the same lovely professor who once tweeted, "All I want for Christmas is white genocide."  While Drexel has finally placed the loony professor on leave, the Washington Post gave Ciccariello-Maher valuable real estate on its editorial pages to write about his situation. 

"He wrote in the Washington Post," Bill reported, "that his tweets were 'neither provocative in tone nor controversial in content,' but that is just a lie.  Of course they were provocative and controversial.  The guy wrote a long screed saying he's the victim and that he'll take legal action against Drexel.  It's just amazing." 

In their emails and message board posts, many Premium Members agreed with Bill's complaint that air travel is getting ever more unbearable.  Bill reiterated that airlines should be fined for lousy performance.  Other PMs groused about NFL players and their disrespectful protests. 

Bill will be back in the fancy Manhattan studio tomorrow, so tune in then for another edition of the No Spin News.
