Bill spent part of his Friday morning talking with Glenn Beck on The Blaze Radio.  They began with President Trump's decision to focus on America's opioid problem. 

"The answer starts with forced rehabilitation," Bill asserted, "which would take the market away.  People arrested with drugs in their system would have a choice – they could go to drug rehab or get a stiff sentence.  Most people would take the inpatient rehab.  And then, as I've always said, any opioid dealer or pusher should get as much time as possible." 

The duo moved to the bubbling Uranium One scandal, in which the Obama administration gave a Russia-owned company control of 20% of our uranium.  At about the same time, the Clinton Foundation received some $145-million from executives of that company.  "The key to this story," Bill opined, "is why millions of dollars were flowing into the Clinton Foundation.  Bill Clinton also got $500,000 to go to Moscow and give a speech.  This was at the same time that seven government agencies in America allowed the Uranium One deal to go through.  That's the story."  Beck concluded that the Uranium One story is "much bigger than Watergate." 

They also discussed the notorious anti-Trump "dossier," which was paid for in part by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.  "Hillary Clinton came out this week and said she didn't know that her campaign was paying for this," Bill marveled, "but how is that possible?  She is in charge of her campaign, which was spending money trying to get dirt on her opponent.  But nobody came and told her this?  C'mon!  Are you kidding me? 

Bill used much of his weekly visit with Beck to lay out exactly why he has decided to file a lawsuit against one of the many people attacking him at the moment.  "I have to take some offensive action now because enough is enough," he began.  "I have had my whole career altered and I have been smeared, so now if someone says something untrue we are going to sue them.  We have filed suit today against a man who had made up a bunch of crap and he will now have to go through the system." 

Bill reiterated that he was very reluctant to use the court system:  "I'm the only one who continues to say that I didn't mistreat anyone, but these people and the media are convicting me anyway.  I have no defense except to say that if you lie about me you will be sued.  I prayed this would go away, but it is not and we have to take some action." 

Bill then took a shot at the New York Times and its reporting:  "The New York Times knows that I cannot speak specifically about anything because of legal restraints.  But I can say that in their first article last April they weren't even close to being accurate about settlement figures.  But people believe what they want to believe.  'Killing England' remains the number one selling book in America and BillOReilly.com has actually added Premium Members.  So the people who like and respect me believe me, while people who don't like and respect me believe the worst." 

Finally, he concluded with a ringing defense:  "When it comes to women being mistreated, every American should want justice.  I've been in the business for 43 years and never once was there a complaint filed against me with HR at twelve different companies.  That's verifiable!"
