Bill O'Reilly (23:06)
So I thought you needed to know that. All right, another warning. Another day, another warning. Donald Trump warning Hamas. Okay, full screen. This is what he put on Truth Social, I believe. Quote, shalom. Hamas means hello and goodbye. You can choose release all the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is over for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted. Sending Israel everything it needs to finish a job. Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do what I say. Okay, True Social yesterday. And we understand from reporting from the Jerusalem Post, which is usually accurate, it's pro Israel, but usually accurate, that in Qatar, the an Arab nation in the Gulf, there is a negotiation going on directly between the United States and Hamas. Okay. The man representing all us, I don't know him. His name is Adam Bowler. Okay. The primary negotiator, Witkoff, is in Ukraine to come up with the mineral deal, which he will. So you need to know that. And Hamas is going to have to give up all hostages or it's going to be an amazing bloodbath and all. They will all die. They'll kill them all. All. Right, On a more mundane basis, but he's everywhere. Trump doesn't sleep. So now he's telling the mayor of Washington D.C. the far left, Muriel Bowser. You better clean up the district, madam. Quote, true Social, we have notified the mayor of Washington D.C. that she must clean up all the unsightly homeless encampments in the city, specifically including the ones outside the State Department near the White House. If she's not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her. It's not as threatening as Hamas, but so this is nonstop. So Bowser can't do it because she doesn't want to do it. A far left person, she doesn't care if they're homeless. Campments, drug addicts running around, carjacking. She couldn't care less about that, you know. So Trump did sign an executive order focused on beautification, clearing homeless camps. Tougher prosecutions for gun crimes and nuisance crimes like public urination and graffiti in Washington, D.C. that's already in play. So now he's gonna, I guess, send out the park service. That's what he would use to get all his homeless people out of there. And Bowser, you know, does Bowser care about all this? No. It's like Woo in Boston and Johnston in Denver and Johnson in Chicago and on and on and on. They don't care because they, their constituency is to hate Trump cadre. Okay, you got a pen? I always say watch and listen on a radio to the no spin news with a pen and paper. Gonna need it for this one. So I'm gonna give you smart life information that you should have. So I know scurry around, get that pen and paper. Here we go. So, as you know, Billorilly.com has a concierge member program. That means you sign up and you have a direct email access to me. And if you get in trouble or you need information, we will respond to you in 24 hours or less, most of the time. And we will help you. My crew will help you. So I'm getting a lot of letters about taxes, that people owe money, that mistakes are made, they don't know what to do. And tax filing is coming up. So here is the information you need. If you have any questions, throw it on up there. I'll read it for the radio people. Main number of the IRS 800, 829 1040. And the IRS says it gets to you fairly quickly. Let me know if that's true or not. If you have a business and you need information about taxes, it's different. 800-829-4933. If you want to find a free tax clinic. And Many people need this 1-800-906-9887. If you want to schedule an appointment with the IRS office near you. 1-844-545-5640. Okay, so if you are a concierge member or a premium member on billoreilly.com, you can get a transcript of what I just said. You'll have it there and I hope you carry them down. Don't mess around with your taxes. That will cause you so much grief. Don't smart life pay it or go into the system and try to negotiate it. Now, there are tax agencies that Negotiate for you, but they charge you a fee. Okay? And I'm not recommending anybody on that. I'm just telling you what your options are, are if you do contact the irs, and this is important as well, on the table in front of you, the phone. You got the table. You have your Social Security number, your date of birth, the last time you filed a tax return, the date and a copy of that tax return. Because the agent who answers the phone or the personnel are going to ask you questions and you want to be stammering around and get the name of the people you're talking to. Not just first name, not just Natalie. I talked to Natalie. Natalie who? I don't know Natalie. Hey, there's 100,000 people working for them. Some of them are named Natalie. And that just doesn't go for the ira, because anybody you're talking to about any business at all, get their full names. If they won't give you the full name, the end of the conversation. That's it. Okay? Smart life. ABC news laying off 200 people. And I'm really sorry. I work for ABC, and I had a very good experience working for them as a correspondent under Peter Jennings, okay? This is just letting people go because ABC is doing bad. That's it. Most of the hemorrhaging is in Good Morning America. So 10 years ago, Good Morning America averaged more than 6 million viewers a day. They're down about two and a half million and sinking. That's a 56% drop. Why are they sinking? Two reasons. A, you don't learn anything on Good Morning America unless you want to make an omelet, okay? I mean, they're not giving you anything. There's nobody there. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And let's go to the weather. Okay, fine. You can get that on your local. You can get that on the Internet. And the second thing is that people aren't even watching network TV anymore. It's too boring. So they're. You know, when you're down 56%, you can't pay. That's why Doge is cutting all the government jobs, because can't pay. We're bankrupt here in the United States. Now, abc, Disney is not bankrupt because of the theme parks and some of their movies. But they're going, they're hurting on the TV side. This Day in History, March 6, 1981. Walter Cronkite hangs it up, okay? 64 years old, CBF says, hey, Walt, once you're out of there, you're too old. Got to go home. So Walter Did Dan Rather took over, and that was the beginning of CBS News decline. So the high point was when Walter was there. Now, I met Cronkite a few times. One was when I was anchoring for the CBS affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut. And we went down to New York to give Walter some pointers. You can see me explaining to him how he should deliver the news. And he wasn't the warmest guy in the world, Walter. But I interviewed him right after he was forced to retire when I was working in Boston as an anchor. And he told me I made a mistake. I should have fought this. And I felt bad, you know, for him, because Rather came in and brought a lot of politics. Now, Walter Cronkite was a liberal man. There's no doubt about it. He was. But he didn't let that bleed over very this. And because he was old school, started his career in 1939, okay, writing for the UPI, which was a wire service. Then he covered World War II, and that was the big break, okay? He was the UP United Press International bureau chief in Moscow. And he came up the hard way. He came up just to fax Jack Webb, you know, that kind of thing. But he was the most powerful anchorman by far in the history of this country. Walter Cronkite. When he turned against the Vietnam War. After visiting Vietnam, it was over. Even President Johnson said, I lost Cronkite and it's over. All right? So he hung it up 44 years ago today. Back with the final thought in a moment. Okay, final thought. Yesterday was a very sad day here. Holly passed away. So I wrote a message of the day, which I hope you read every day on billoriley.com. it's free. There's me and the Terror Dog, and I will read you the message. Okay? We lost a family member on Wednesday, a beautiful cross corgi named Holly. Brain tumor, nine and a half years old. A good dog in every way. As a puppy, I branded her the Terror Dog because she tried to eat the living room. Many of you know Holly because we appointed her to the mascot of all of the O'Reilly Enterprises. We did everything we could to fight the brain tumor malady. And Holly was loved every minute of every day. Someone asked me how I can anchor a new show knowing about her condition, and I simply said, compartmentalize. My son asked for a Corgi in 2015. It was an easy decision. Pets enhance lives. Children cherish them. When I brought Holly home, he cried with joy. Best moment as Holly as a pup. There's A time for every season. Bible verse goes, and of course it's true. Nothing can stop fate. What we can do is protect those we love and look out for them. That's often not easy, but good people know it's imperative. Ali enriched all of our lives here in the O'Reilly home, and she will never be forgotten. I'm extremely fortunate to have had her company. There I am with Holly in the signature picture. And, you know, we're all grieving, and everybody grieves in different ways, and it's normal and natural to do that. You know, if you're grieving, you'd grieve. That's a good thing. And so what I've decided to do is make a big photo album. We do have it on billorilly.com I'm gonna. We have all the pictures, and you can go see them, but I'm gonna do it for my family. And let's make a big album of Holly pictures. Because memories are very important. This is. A lot of people don't respect their memories. Even the bad memories will teach you something. But the good memories really enhance all our lives because every day is new and everything changes. You know, it's never the same. We want to keep it the same, particularly the good times. I mean, I wish Holly were sitting with me right now, but we can. What we can do is preserve the memories, respect the memories. And I'm going to do that with a big photo album of Holly. And I'm very grateful, by the way, because it was. If it wasn't for my son. I'm a really busy guy and travel all over and everything, but I wouldn't probably have gotten Holly if it wasn't for Spencer. And he really wanted a corgi. And I went down to Georgia, at Abrida in Georgia to get her. And, you know, I knew that my son and daughter were going to be thrilled about it, but I didn't know how emotional I would be with the dog. The dog was, you know, a very important part of our lives here. And it was such a nice dog. It was even impossible to get mad, to get mad at the dog. Dog is just eating when she's a puppy. See, every. I just couldn't get mad at the dog. You know, I just. Anyway, nine and a half years, you know, I woke up this morning and kind of looking around and you know how it is. We all go through it, whether it's a person, whether it's a pet. We all go through it. Personal loss, people but wouldn't trade those times for anything. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you again on Monday.
