Hey BillOReilly.com Premium Members, welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday March 13th, 2018. Take your country back.
We had a little snow here again, nothing crazy. Third snow in ten days here in the northeast. New England got it worse, way worse. I remember living in Boston all those years and boy oh boy it's a cold city. So, we're hoping this is it and spring will, will break out in a big way in the northeast.
All right. So, Rex Tillerson the Secretary of State, gets fired. I'll tell you why. I told you it was going to happen, I love to tell you that I told you. I love that, I love to tell you I told you. I guess it's an ego thing somewhat. But believe me when I tell you I know Donald Trump, I know him inside out, upside down. I know what he's going to do. So, we'll explain.
First, the President is out in California, ostensibly to look at Wall prototypes, that's not why he's really there, he's going to vacuum up big money. A fundraiser in Los Angeles tonight, without any stars just big money people in California who believe in his policies. So, the Trump campaign will take out a lot of money from California, even though California generally speaking is not Trump territory.
So, if you read the Message of the Day, I explain it, you know, pretty simply it has to do with a tremendous amount of foreign born people living in California, many of whom need assistance, they go to the Democratic Party and the educational system dominated by the far left unions has absolutely taken over and the mindset in California is not what it used to be, when I started visiting in 1970. Since that time, I think I've been out to California every year. You know I love it out there. And why do I like it? Because it's so beautiful, what a beautiful state! So much nature, Yosemite and you've got the desert and you've got the ocean and you've got the mountains, and then you have Northern California, Mendocino area. I mean you drive from San Francisco down Route 1 to L.A., there's not a better drive in the world. I mean it's just a fabulous, fabulous place, physically speaking and I never had any problem anybody out there. California was The Factors biggest audience, and I think it's the BillOReilly.com Premium Members, we have more in California than anywhere else.
OK. Many, many, many Californians are open minded, are clear thinking individuals. But there has been this giant wave that has taken the state, far left and here's when I knew it might not ever come back. The murder of Kate Steinle. Now, you remember way, way back on The Factor that there were a series of judges, who were letting child molesters and rapists out easy either giving them short prison sentences or giving them probation or whatever it may be. We crushed that restorative justice movement crushed it, with Jessica's Law which the states put minimums, mandatory tough minimums on these child molesters. 45 out of the 50 states did it, even Massachusetts. All right. Now, that was a campaign that we won and that I think, put us on the map on the Fox News Channel, as being crusaders for justice. It took a while, we had to chase a lot of people around, run them down. Far Left HATED that, hated it. And I think that put me in their crosshairs, the first time. But we were successful with Jessica's Law.
Then, I wanted Kate's Law because young Kate Steinle, 32 years old walking with her dad, gunned down by an illegal alien who had defied deportation six times. He had been deported six times come back seven, convicted felon in this country. I said why? Why? He should be in prison for 30 years, this man. And I thought, I thought that the people of California would rise up, the people of San Francisco would rise up and demand that is protection of violent illegal aliens stop! I was wrong. I was wrong. There was no uprising. There were attacks on me, from the San Francisco politicians and the California politicians and the media which has gone far left and enables all this stuff to happen, right now. The family of Kate Steinle are appealing a federal judge's decision, which dismissed their claims against the San Francisco Sheriff's Office, who released, released Jose Garcia Zarate. Even though the feds had a retainer on him, they released him! And he shot Kate Steinle to death and then a court found that, well he really didn't murder her and they convicted him of weapons. I mean it's just insane. Anyway, Zarate, the feds have and now they're going to retry him on federal weapons charges. He'll never get out again and he'll probably wind up back in Mexico. I mean I don't know if the guy is going to defy deportation again but he might because there's no Kate's Law, there's no Kate's Law. So, anyway the family of Kate Steinle has to endure this horror, Kate loses her life and people in California don't care, they don't care at all. And then when we went to Congress, we almost had it, almost had it. But Harry Reid, the senator, former senator from Nevada killed it and it did not get. Still on the board and President Trump says he wants it but we haven't seen any votes. And the clock's ticking on that because if the Republicans lose the House in November forget about.
All right so, San Francisco has learned its lesson. There's a new sheriff out there Vicki Hennessey and she is going to prosecute people in her county who cooperate with ICE. And apparently ICE agents did interview some illegal aliens they wanted to talk to out there in San Francisco and Hennessey found out about it and said that, "I hold myself accountable. I apologize on behalf of the department, I feel embarrassed by it. I've taken steps to make sure it never happens again, that ICE agents would dare talk to an illegal alien. That's illegal in San Francisco County."
And of course, that law is illegal, you cannot trump federal law if you're a state and Hennessy goes on to tell the San Francisco Chronicle "ICE was testing our defenses, they found some weak points." Like it's a war between Sheriff Hennessey and the immigration officials in Washington, which it is! Where is the outcry, there's no outcry?
So, as you know California sanctuary state and they are welcoming, 'Hey! anybody, anybody, you're a violent hombre, you've had felonies in other places, you have felonies here, come on and we'll protect you in San Francisco, we'll protect you in Sacramento. We'll protect you throughout the whole state. Here's what Governor Jerry Brown said about it.
"We may be called to defend those laws and defend them we will. And let me be clear. We will defend everybody every man woman and child who's come here for a better life and has contributed to the well-being of our state.".
Contributed to the well-being of our state, Governor You won't even get behind Kate's law. Those are convicted felons in the United States who were here illegally from a foreign nation. You won't even do that! Don't give me, contributed to the welfare of our state. You couldn't care less who's there. Come on in! What a fraud.
All right, California the population out there and that's the largest state in the union, population wise; 27 percent, all right is foreign born, 10 million immigrants, about 52 million people in California, 10 million of them are immigrants. Highest population of foreign born people in the nation. Estimated 6 percent of California's population are illegals, right now. OK. And California has the highest taxes in the country because of many reasons, but the government assistance, to everybody not just immigrants, is through the roof there. Sales tax, in California is seven and a quarter percent, highest in the nation. Highest state income tax, 13.3 percent, can't write that off anymore. And the only reason that California hasn't bankrupt everybody is because of Prop 13. They can't raise property taxes because the people put a cap on it, the voters.
Liberalism in the schools, I know literally hundreds of people who have kids in California schools, they got to take them out. They've got to put them in private schools or charter schools, because it's just relentlessly left, left, left, left. Legalization of drugs, not just pot, drugs. All right. Acceptance of everybody. Fifteen bathrooms, no genders, no male pronouns on and on and on, crazy, crazy, crazy every day. These kids, of course they pick it up.
The California college system, UCLA does it get anymore further left than them? No. The state university system, insane and now in Oakland there's a coffee shop that won't serve cops, refuses to serve cops. That's unconstitutional, by the way. Hasta Muerte Coffee, OK, and that's until death coffee. If you're a cop, they're not serving you in Oakland, in this coffee shop.
Finally, the former governor Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. He says now he wants to sue global oil companies for knowingly killing people all over the world. Which that he argues that every gas station car and product with fossil fuels should have a warning label on it, hopes that he can raise awareness about cleaner cars. OK, so Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is a desperate attempt to get some attention paid to him. And I mean, look Schwarzenegger, his governorship was a disaster. I don't have anything against him, but he's the guy that commuted from Los Angeles to Sacramento while he was governor, in a private jet. And now he wants to sue the oil companies that fueled his aircraft. And I'm sure he still flies on private jets.
Let's bring in our pal, Ruben Navarrette who is a native Californian, he's in San Diego. He's the host of the daily podcast Navarrette Nation. That sounds kind of frightening. He's also on KOGO am 600 in San Diego, fine radio station and he's author of a book called The Darker Shade of Crimson: Odyssey of a Harvard Chicano. Which, would be you. OK don't brag about the Harvard thing, yeah, every time I do that I get mail.
All right, Ruben so correct me, I know I just did 11 minutes on California where am I going off the rails?
"Well, Bill, first of all you know you are a friend of mine. It's been my pleasure to be with you on your shows in the last 15 years or so. We're connected not just by Harvard but more important because your grandfather was a cop and my dad was a cop. You and I feel the same about Oakland coffee shops that won't serve cops. I think California went off the rails when it lost its balance and became a deep blue state. I understand that in California, Democrats can go crazy because they can pass anything they want without a single Republican vote. That more than anything has caused him to go overboard in regard to social issues, economic issues. Heard about the taxes, obviously. They don't have any pushback, I have become convinced having lived in two other states that were deep red states, that's Arizona and Texas, that whether you be deep red or deep blue, you're going to be in trouble. You want to have one of those states like Ohio where it's 50/50, everybody keeps everybody honest. In California and nobody keeps the Democrats honest."
But what about, you know I read an article today where your two Senators Feinstein and Harris, were invited by the ICE people, by the security people for a private briefing. So, the senators could see who the ICE agents were targeting in California. Both senators turned down the private briefing, I mean come on. So, where did it get irrational? Where did it get insane? When did that happen?
"When Trump was elected Democrats in California realized that they were in a state where the voters had gone two to one for Hillary Clinton, that every Democrat in California knew two things right away, that they could make points by running against Donald Trump and opposing him at every turn and that they would pay no cost for that at home because the people in California were so anti-Trump. So, I think Trump helped light that match. I want to say one thing, where you're absolutely right, you mentioned Jerry Brown. Democrats in California, Bill are the biggest phonies and liars and frauds when it comes to immigration. In 2012 Jerry Brown, when he was governor, vetoed something called the Trust Act because Jerry Brown said that it was important that you have cooperation between local sheriffs and ICE officials. Now, he's arguing the opposite, you know why? Because back then, the president was a Democrat and now it's a Republican."
Right and that back then they weren't as radicalized. Why in your opinion, Ruben didn't the people of California rise up and demand that Jessica's law be passed, not only on a national but on a state level. Why didn't the folks get riled up about something as terrible as that?
"You mean Kate's Law, correct?"
Kate's Law, I'm sorry, Kate's Law.
"So, I think that the Kate Steinle case really hurt a lot of Californians and it bothered them. But you have to understand the facts of the case as you said, Kate Steinle was killed because a bullet ricocheted off the pier. It was very difficult to charge that person, that assailant with first degree murder or second-degree murder."
No, no, no, no, no. Put that aside, the guy shouldn't have been here, should not have been here.
"He shouldn't have been."
All right. Breaks into a car, steals a gun, carries the gun around. All right. He's convicted dope dealer six times, deported six times, and is here and all I wanted to do was pass a very stringent law against convicted felons who defied deportation, and we got crickets out of California. The folks didn't rise up, my viewers did, thousands of my viewers did. But we didn't see any demonstrations in San Francisco or Los Angeles or Sacramento we didn't see any of that on behalf of Kate and her family, why?
"It is not because Californians are any more sympathetic or soft on illegal immigration than anybody else. And it's not because people in California don't care about people like Kate Steinle. It's because the people in California thought that, I think that particular case was not a perfect case to go to court with because of the victim, because there was a ricochet and because this person had been deported several times for non-violent crimes and there was a lot of blame to go around."
He was a drug dealer, that's not a nonviolent crime. This was a preventative law so this wouldn't happen again, nothing.
"Yes."
My theory is that people are afraid, they're afraid particularly, you know, in the entertainment business who dominates Los Angeles. If you speak out against the liberal orthodoxy you're going to have a hard time working that's how vicious these far left people are. They’re going to come and attack you. People are afraid. Last word.
"Well, you and I both been attacked by the left and I'm not going to argue there. It's clear that's true, there is that factor but I think in this case a lot of Californians had become very accustomed to illegal immigration. But again, the Democrats have gone too far because there's no way to keep them in line. We need balance in the state and right now we just don't have it.".
Well you're never going to have it, it's all over now because of the education indoctrination. Hey, Ruben good luck, everybody watch Ruben's podcast and we really appreciate you coming on. OK.
"Thanks, Bill."
Rex Tillerson, this was not a hard one for me to predict back on November 15th, I said this.
"Looks to me like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is going. OK. I don't think Donald Trump likes him and he would be replaced by Mike Pompeo who is the CIA director, who is actually telling people he thinks he's going to be Secretary of State, soon."
All right. So, that's exactly what happened today. Took a few months but that's what's going to happen to Jeff Sessions, too. In the summer he'll probably go, maybe before. Well anyway, how did O'Reilly know that Tillerson was out and Pompeo was in? It's not that people call me up and tell me, that's not what happens here. All right. Now, I have talked to the President since he's been elected, and I've talked to a lot of other people and those conversations are private and I do get information but I didn't talk to him about Tillerson. All right, and I haven't talked to him in a while.
I knew as soon as the news report came out that Tillerson, allegedly called Donald Trump a moron that Tillerson was gone. Now, Tillerson denied it through his spokesperson Heather Nauert, but never really denied it himself. He said, he doesn't want to, he doesn't use language like that and this is stupid, he said all that. Look, with Donald Trump if you sign on to work for Donald Trump you not only have to do pretty much what he wants you to do, although he does consider dissent, but you have to do it enthusiastically. So, if somebody accuses you of calling Donald Trump a moron you have to get right in that person's face and say, no I did not. I think probably Tillerson did it. And you know everybody gets frustrated with their bosses, everybody does, and says stuff off the top of their head. OK. The other thing is that Tillerson is kind of a dour guy, dour, d-o-u-r, word of the day, not Trump's type of guy. He's not, you know, Trump likes of guys like me, flamboyant guys. You know, boom, boom, boom. He likes stimulation in conversation, opinion all of that. And Tillerson never struck me as his kind of guy.
Now, apparently the president has a good relationship with Mike Pompeo, and now Pompeo has got to get okayed by Congress which that will happen and he'll be the next Secretary of State. Gina Haspel, first CIA director in the history of this nation. She is Pompeo's deputy right now, she'll take over the agency and that shouldn't be a problem. It will be interesting to see the Democrats vote against first woman to run the agency, they're already attacking her for being pro-torture.
Anyway, Tillerson out. Does it matter to us, the American people, to we the people? It matters in this way if Trump is very comfortable with his Secretary of State Pompeo and they're some simpatico. It's a more effective foreign policy. I think it's probably an upgrade OK.
The House Intelligence Committee issued a report saying it's not going to investigate Russian collusion anymore because there's nothing there. Partisan report, all Republicans. And the Republican's said, no collusion, didn't do anything. We're, we've been looking at this for 16 months, we came up with nothing and we're not going to continue looking at it. So, the Democrats on the committee are mad or whatever. I told you and told you and told you and told you, I don't think there's any collusion and I don't think Mueller is going to come up with anything of substance, he'll come up with a few little things. And obviously the House Republicans didn't come up with anything because you can't go out and say we didn't come up with anything, if you did, you can't because that'll come out, OK.
ABC, CBS, NBC on their nightly newscasts yesterday, they gave it less than a minute on all three. CBS Evening News, 31 seconds, ABC World News Tonight 27 seconds, NBC News ignored it, entirely, didn't mention this. All right, so do I, I don't have to continue, continue telling you what's happening in the press. You know what's happening. I think it's fascinating story, to the extent it influences you directly, I will tell you every day. But we all know that this is, not the news agencies in this country, the powerful news agencies aren't interested in reporting any truth or facts at all. None.
This is interesting. OK. A rehab center, expensive rehab center is now treating device use disorder, DUD, device use disorder. Apparently, younger Americans, primarily, are so addicted to their smart phones and other machines they can't even live their lives effectively anymore. Here's a description from Paradigm Malibu, a rehab center: "smartphone addiction may seem like a cliché, an eye rolling inducing first world problem but it could have devastating effects extreme use of digital devices and the Internet can lead to behavioral disorders that are as debilitating or life threatening as alcohol or drug abuse. And aside from those most severe cases, addictive technologies indicate that there is an entire generation prone to depression and loneliness."
So, basically they're saying you know people can kill themselves because they're so addicted to the smartphones and whatever and children and I know this to be true. All right, kids, they get angry when you take the devices away. They're using them in the middle of the night, they're losing sleep over them, they have to text, compulsive texting have to act like this if they don't. It's a psychological addiction there's no question it is, powerful, powerful addiction. So, now the rehab centers are dealing with it. OK.
We asked you to send your analysis, I mean I'm a big mouth and you know that but I'm really enjoying you guys sending me your analysis, if it's good were going to put it on the air. This one comes from Teresa Van Arsdale in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Go.
"Hi Bill. My commentary is regarding the proliferation of dishonest media. Access to media platforms have expanded beyond cable TV, social media along with thousands of news websites have become the source for which millions receive their news and has made source accountability extremely difficult. But as news consumers many have become scrollers, swipers and linkers as opposed to critical, analytical thinkers. Audience attention is easily grasped by sensational headlines whether real or fake. In the few seconds it takes to swipe from screen to screen, how quickly news is accessed and consumed but not analyzed by viewers or journalist has enabled the proliferation of dishonest media. Thanks for the opportunity to opine."
Very good, Teresa and you wrote that out and that's the smart way to do it, write it out and deliver it and we want your submissions. And Teresa is absolutely right. Her main point is that source accountability is vast. What that means is if a media person, a press person is going to tell you something happened, whatever it may be, unless you saw it yourself like the sun came up this morning. If they're going to tell you something happened, they got to tell you how they know it. Not a source close to the president told me. Bull! You can make that up, you can contrive that, it's bull. But that's what's happening and once you put it out there, then all the other websites pick it up if it hurts somebody they want to hurt. They don't care where it came from, they don't care if it's true, it's garbage. So very good, Teresa. Thank you.
And if you want to send us something we have an easy way to do it just go onto the website and it'll tell you how to do it.
All right, let's go to the mail.
On the message boards, Renee.
"Great podcast, the ridiculous way Oprah and Van Jones speak. Sounds like they are high or in another universe. I guess there was such low opinions of their followers. But you nailed it when describing what real darkness is. ISIS beheadings, no jobs, no raises and your analysis of Trump's increase in media attacks, spot on. I can miss a lot of news on the cable nets but I cannot miss your daily broadcast."
Excellent, very, very good. In case you missed it yesterday Van Jones and Oprah were talking about the darkness that descended on the nation. And I pointed out that the real darkness happened during the Obama administration, when ISIS was beheading people and people couldn't get a raise, Americans couldn't get a raise. So that struck a chord.
Tammy.
"Loved the show tonight, as always it was especially wonderful to see the old O'Reilly fire and passion that you displayed when talking about what true darkness is, as opposed to Oprah and Van Jones. Our country is in a downward spiral and I hope it can be reversed by intelligent discourse."
I'm not sure it can be reversed at this point, Tammy but that's why we're doing this. Take your country back. We got to fight it, fight, fight, fight.
Christine.
"Mr. O'Reilly, thank you for your sincere and honest compassion on the podcast this evening, expressing the truth. You are so correct in your analysis of what Mr. Obama did, absolutely nothing for eight years."
No I wouldn't say that, Tammy, uh Christine, I'm sorry. Christine, I wouldn't say he didn't do anything. He imposed his very progressive point of view on the country. All right. Income redistribution, a retreat from foreign affairs, letting bad guys like ISIS pretty much work it out, whatever they're doing, we're not going to interfere, that kind of thing. So saying her didn't do anything, he just did the wrong things, in my opinion. Not totally, but a lot.
Randy on the message boards.
"Just stopping by to say it was really good podcast tonight, your kill or be killed analysis of Trump versus the media is spot on. Your indignant reaction to Oprah's claim that darkness is spreading was well-deserved, it's great to see you fired up.".
OK. You know we get fired up when it is necessary to do that.
Brian Boyle. Tigard, Oregon outside of Portland.
"My question can't you stop your own political correctness and admit you love Trump his back alone and all he's accomplished. You keep stating it's not your job to protect President Trump, well, why not?".
Number one I don't love any politician if they're alive. You know Abraham Lincoln and George Washington and a few other presidents, I don't know if I loved them but I respect them tremendously. But politicians who are living, I mean I'm not loving them. I have to watch them. I have to watch everybody who has power. That's my job. That's why I have been very, very successful over the 43 years that I've been in this news business because I'm not beholden to parties or people, I'm beholden to you, now I guess you're a person. But the concept is I am watching the powerful, so they don't hurt you and that includes everybody.
Sherie Penn. Granbury, Texas.
"Bill, how can the press hope to unseat Donald Trump during his first term with the women when the allegations are based in the past. While he was a private citizen. How is this attack germane to his presidency?"
Sherie, they want to make it impossible for Trump to govern. And that is the women strategy. And if they can get some kind of malfeasance, trumped up, pardon the pun, they'll do that. OK. But it's making it impossible for the President to do his job, by creating so much chaos and pandemonium and scandal that he's just under siege. That is the strategy.
LeRoy Moving. Ocala, Florida.
"You said tonight that President Obama won the elections fair and square. Need to tell us Premium Members how you could possibly come to that conclusion."
LeRoy, did you miss the popular and electoral vote? He beat McCain, he beat Romney fair and square. He won, I don't, I don't know what the problem is there.
Ronald Boudreaux. Maple Grove, Minnesota.
"The release of the illegal immigrant in Denver is appalling, the left using an excuse there was no warrant. It obviously has to be technically. How hard would it be to get a warrant for an illegal aliens with a felony charge."
Look, the feds should have gotten the warrant right away because the guy is charged with vehicular homicide. But they put a, slapped a detainer on him and there's no excuse in the world for Denver or Colorado or anybody, not hold them, this guy, charged with vehicular homicide. OK now he's in the wind, some idiot judge gave him twenty-five thousand dollars bail. You all you have to do is post twenty-five hundred and you're out. Think he's coming back, this guy? Think he's going to show? Come on, this is a travesty, it really is.
Susan Sabens. Auburndale, DC. Where is Auburndale, don't know and I should know, I'm sorry I think maybe in Virginia.
"Sir, I have a history question and I hope you can explain. State versus Commonwealth. What's the difference?".
No difference. There are four commonwealths Massachusetts, Virginia Pennsylvania and Kentucky. They were branded commonwealths after the Revolutionary War because the folks said we are a state but our state philosophy is the people's good, the good for the people, commonwealth. So for people, they're are all states but they branded themselves commonwealth.
Robert Manderino. Mesa, Arizona.
