Bill began the No Spin News with the latest in Charlottesville, where a memorial service was held Wednesday to honor Heather Heyer, who was mowed down by the Nazi-sympathizing terrorist James Alex Fields. 

"I felt terrible for the Heyer family," Bill began, "because this was a very nice woman who just wanted to make her voice heard.  She didn't like racism, she didn't like Nazis, and she was just in the wrong place when this guy drove his car into a crowd.  There's no difference between James Fields and the ISIS people who do this.  You can imagine if this was your daughter or sister or wife, the evil is beyond comprehension." 

Heather Heyer's death and the violence in Charlottesville have poured even more fuel on this country's inflammatory politics.  "Whenever Nazis are involved," Bill asserted, "that's the end of the discussion, you just have to condemn them and walk away.  That's the big mistake Donald Trump made and I know he didn't do it on purpose.  He doesn't think through what his words will mean to his opposition." 

Bill also put forth an ominous warning about the legion of Trump haters:  "These people on the left are not going to stop with Trump or the Robert E. Lee statues, they're coming for everybody.  They want to shut up and hurt their opposition, that's who they are."  To buttress that argument, Bill read some truly vile quotes from far-left Internet sites, some of which are glorifying violence and promising even more. 

On that same subject of Trump-loathing, Bill played a clip from CNN, which invited the always-lovely Michael Moore for a friendly chat.  Moore denounced not only President Trump, but anyone and everyone who voted for him.  He actually compared Trump voters to people who hold a woman down while she is being raped. 

Conservative columnist and Trump loyalist Monica Crowley called in with her unique perspective.  "I've been watching this unfold for the past two years," she said, "ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy.  Those forces that you just talked about quickly galvanized because they realized that he represents an existential threat to their grand project of tearing America down.  They believe the founders were evil slaveholders, and by extension the country is evil and must be destroyed.  The left is at war with this country, the Constitution, capitalism, and the traditional moral order." 

Bill agreed with Crowley that President Trump is up against some very powerful enemies:  "The forces on the far left are much stronger than they were ten years ago.  There is more money and the media is now also on the far left side.  Donald Trump lost the Charlottesville deal because he should have just walked away after the condemnation of the Nazis rather than hand his opponents a sledgehammer with which to beat him." 

Crowley, who worked for Richard Nixon, concurred with the idea that President Trump frequently hands ammunition to the very people who hate him:  "Nixon once said that he had a legion of enemies and he gave them the sword.  Nixon's advice to Trump would be that, whatever you do, do not give your legion of enemies the sword.  President Trump has to pick his battles and time them properly.  His presidency is at stake and he is coming to that understanding.  But even if he had handled this situation perfectly, his enemies would have clubbed and attacked him." 

After bidding goodbye to Monica Crowley, Bill reported on a very disturbing story out of North Korea:  "The State Department is reporting that North Korea is the worst persecutor of religious people in the world.  If you believe in anything, you are subject to execution, torture, beatings, and arrest.  That is a vicious and totalitarian state." 

Closer to home, Oregon's far left governor Kate Brown has signed a law that gives every woman the unfettered and unlimited right to abort her baby, even if the infant is just minutes from birth.  "Science has proven that babies are viable about halfway through the pregnancy," Bill stated, "but Governor Brown doesn't care about that.  Any woman who wants to kill the fetus can do that and the state will pay for it.  If Kate Brown believes in any God at all, there will be quite a discussion upon her demise because this is life.  Compare Oregon to Texas, where they are trying to make abortions more difficult.  It tells you about the unbelievable divide in America, it's really getting serious." 

Premium Members then got their turn to weigh in with opinions and questions.  PMs generally focused on the violence in Charlottesville and the sudden urge to rip down statues throughout the South.  "It all depends on the statue," Bill advised one Premium Member.  "If there's a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest in New Orleans, he's a founder of the KKK.  That would be like putting up a statue of Fidel Castro in Miami.  You wouldn't put up a statue of Tojo in Pearl Harbor and there are no statues of Hitler anywhere.  Bad guys are bad guys." 

Bill ended with a tribute to Elvis Presley, who died 40 years ago today:  "He was probably the best concert entertainer ever.  I always sympathize with the lad from Tupelo, Mississippi.  He wasn't educated, but God gave him a gift that brought joy to a lot of people."
