Ten years from today, Lisa Schneider will train in her office job to become the leader of a pack of dogs as the owner of her own dog rescue. That is a second act made possible by the reskilling courses Lisa's taking now with AARP to help make sure her income lives as long as she does. And she can finally run with the big dogs and the small dogs who just think they're big dogs. That's why the younger you are, the more you need AARP. Learn more at aarp.org skills hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the no Spin News for Wednesday, July 9, 2025. Stand up for your country. You know, America is like a good scandal. Probably everybody in the world does. It breaks the boredom. You can take sides many times and we have that with the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Heinous man, now commiserating with Satan. I just can't even describe, you know, the evil that this guy embraced. And the federal government knows about some of that evil, but they are not communicating to with the people what exactly they know. Now, it is a little bit complicated. As I wrote in my message of the day, there are innocent people that associated to some extent, maybe they had lunch, maybe they just met them one time with Epstein. If those people names get put out into the public, their lives could be ruined. Now I talked about this with Donald Trump and I will tell you about that in a moment.

Doug Schoen
Epstein is now the focus of attention for millions and millions of people. They want to know if the federal government covered up anything. If there were famous people involved with him doing dastardly things. And those are legitimate questions and honest government will attempt to answer them as best it can while being responsible to the innocent. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So it's a bad look right now. That's a cliche, I know. But with Attorney General Bondi saying one thing and then saying another thing about the so called Epstein files, I don't know what the files are. I don't know anything about it. But I do know the federal government has information on the man and what the man's activities comprise. They do. FBI has it and we are not getting that. Now the Trump administration is transparent. There has not been a modern day president. I can't think of anybody in the last hundred years who's been more accessible to the press than Mr. Trump. He's on Air Force One. Every time he got a guess, he takes the questions. He's on the tarmac. He's accessible. Compared to him and Biden. You never saw Biden. Biden wouldn't answer any questions. He couldn't get close to him. Trump every day. So something's not right here. Okay? And I don't know what it is. Will I find out? I don't know about that either. I did request an interview with Kash Patel, who turned me down. That's not good. I know Mr. Patel been very fair to him over the years. The guy flat out turned me down. Okay. But my obligation to report that to you. And it looks like the federal government is hiding something, but that may not be true. So that's where we are. And I don't like that feeling. And you don't either. I'm sure you don't want some definition here. Right now, a bit of a timeline. August 10, 2019. All right? Epstein found dead in his New York City jail cell. I believe it's a suicide. I don't believe the New York City coroner made up the fact that the autopsy showed that he expired by hanging himself. I don't believe that. But millions of people believe that he was murdered to cover up something that's a conspiracy theory and it's in play. Now, I can't prove my point because I didn't do the post mortem examination on Epstein. And the whole autopsy hasn't been released. Most of it has. Summary has. And then Epstein's brother brought in, you know, hired guns, got people who were paid to tell Epstein's brother what he wanted to hear. That looks suspicious to me. You know how that game goes. Okay, so the conspiracy is underway. Does that mean anything? No. I mean, I wrote killing Kennedy got 10,000 Kennedy conspiracies. And a lot of those people who pushed that made money on it. You want to know what happened to jfk? You read Killing Kennedy. That's what happened to him. Because we were able to get the primary reporting from the FBI. So without any editing or any of that, we're very lucky to get that. Anyway, the chief medical examiner who was involved in the Epstein case, a woman named Dr. Barbara Sampson, and she's an honest woman. I don't think there's any possibility that she forged anything here. My opinion. Okay, so now what do we do? Well, clearly the Trump administration doesn't want to hold a press conference. And Bondi would have to do that. She could have Patel there, head of the FBI. They don't want to do that. Again, that's not a good look. So any skilled law enforcement agent knows what they can and can't tell the public. Unless there's somebody under active criminal investigation, you can't put the name out. That's wrong. You could destroy people's lives. But you can generally telephone me and everybody else. Here's what we got, okay? And here's what the indictment was. This guy was going to get convicted. Evidence overwhelming. And you know, we've learned X, Y and Z without giving names. You can do that. It's not hard to do that. Here's a kicker on it. Merrick Garland should be in this press conference. Biden had this info for four years. Justice Department and Biden, they didn't do anything. Now if Trump was involved or anybody, any high ranking Republican, believe me, that would have been out in a second. New York Times would have had that. Washington Post would have had that in a second. There were any Republican or conservative people involved with Epstein, boom, that would have been out, okay? And on the other side, I think the Trump administration probably would have gone after anybody. On the liberal side, you got Bill Clinton associated with Epstein to some extent. I mean, they crossed paths, I don't know. But none of that ever came out. Just keep that in mind. But Merrick Garland knows as much as Pam Bondi knows. Where's Merrick? Where's him? I don't hear the media screaming about, well, let's bring in Merrick Garland.

Doug Schoen
The former FBI chief. Escapes me. I'm old under Biden, right? Get them both together. So anyway, the story is not going to go away and it is going to hurt President Trump. I don't think it will hurt him dramatically. But you know, leadership is keep your promises, transparency. So let's get this done. That's a memoir. Another big criminal case, and he made it a criminal case. Dr. Kevin O', Connor, Joe Biden's personal physician, took the Fifth today. So he walks in to the House and the oversight committee that's comer and they ask him two questions, okay? Was he ever told a lie about the President's health and did he believe Mr. Biden was unfit to execute his duties? Two questions. And then o' Connor says, I am taking the Fifth Amendment because whatever I say might incriminate me. Okay? He's entitled to do that. But now the FBI has got to put him under active and criminal investigation. You say I'm not going to talk to a congressional committee because I might have committed a crime there. That's it. You got to go. Then the FBI has got to go. Okay? Now we're going to issue subpoenas, we're going to search your home, we're going to get all your records. We're going to do everything. Oconnors still going well. Patient doctor privilege. No, no, that will never hold up in federal court. They'll knock that out immediately. I mean the responsible judges. So I'm not surprised. Are you surprised? So Biden announced his cancer and his doctor didn't know that and the cancer just didn't magically appear. That's something that takes time to develop. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax Advantage Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401. Tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576 or text BILL to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text BILL to 998999. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Pod Force One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Pod Force One with me, Miranda Devine, everybody. Every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. This is really bad. Really, really bad. Anyway, so Comer says it's clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden's cognitive decline and maybe physical decline. Okay, I believe that I didn't come is absolutely right. Okana's lawyer says that it does not intend to honor one of the most well known privileges in our law, the patient physician privilege. Okay, counselor, take it into federal court. You can't have a sitting President unable to perform his duties and his doctor lying about it. I mean, that goes way beyond any kind of privilege. And the Trump administration, I did not know this until we started researching it. It waived executive privilege. It can do that. Sudana. You can't. You know, if Biden had invoked it before he left, maybe not now. So it's all doctor, patient now. This is going to take years, but the FBI should be aggressively looking at this. Let's see if there's anything else here. It's a big red flag that was lifted today. Here's something I want your opinion on. Do you believe most Americans care? I know you care if you didn't like Biden, but just the regular folks who don't pay attention to the news. Do you think they care that Biden was in there for four years? Second worst president ever and you read Confronting the presidents. I make the case. It's an overwhelming case, let's put it that way. Do you think they care that they covered all this up? The White House, people, Democratic Party, the journalists think the regular man on the street who doesn't. Not ideological party doesn't mean much. Do you think they care? I don't know. But Anyway, bill@billoriley.com, bill@billorilly.com if you want to weigh in on that. Now, while we're talking about Biden, yesterday we had a conversation about his befuddlement and that he was interviewed by Robert her, the special counsel, about Biden taking classified documents, putting them in his garage and other places all over the place, which he did. Same thing that Trump took classified and put him in Mar a Lago. Same exact thing. Other than Trump had the right to do it in the sense that he was president. Biden did not have the right to any classified information at all because he was vice president. Anyway, in the body of the discussion, we mentioned that the tape recording interview between special counsel, her and his staff and Joe Biden was available on the Internet. And the address is YouTube.comaxios that's a website, a x I o s YouTube.comaxios. if you want to hear the whole thing, here's a taste of it. Go. Months of dying. Was it 2015? He died 2015. I'm not sure the months are. But I think that was.
- [16:04]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, that's right, Mr. President.
- [16:07]
Doug Schoen
And what's happened in the meantime is that as. And Trump gets elected in November of 2017. 16. 2016. All right, so.
- [16:34]
Bill O'Reilly
That'S when you left office.
- [16:36]
Doug Schoen
January 2017. Okay. But that's when Trump gets sworn in January. Okay. Yeah.
- [16:45]
Bill O'Reilly
Correct.
- [16:47]
Doug Schoen
And in 2017, Bull had passed. And, and this is personal, the genesis of the book and the title, promise me dad was a, I know you're all close with your sons and daughters, but Beau was like my right arm and that was my left. I was pathetic. And I was the president of the United States. And none of us knew how bad it was. I shouldn't say none of us, but it's really frightening. All right. Elon Musk still mad at Trump taking the Epstein files. He says, quote, how can people be expected to have faith in Trump if you won't release The Epstein files? July 8th on X. And as you know, he's Mr. Musk wants to start a third party, the American Party. Joining us now is one of the most astute political observers in the country. And Doug Schoen gave me money to say that on Saturday night when I was in person. He joins us now from Southampton, home of very wealthy, swell people. Southampton. He's a Democratic political strategist. So your take on the proposed American party.
- [18:28]
Stephen A. Smith
You know, I have studied, Bill, third parties in America, there is broad support in the electorate for third parties. The problem is the only thing the two major parties, Democrats and Republicans, agree on is, is that we shouldn't have third parties and to make it as difficult as possible for them to get on the ballot, get support and raise money. So I don't necessarily think Elon Musk's third party, in the absence of an infrastructure that doesn't exist, is going to do anything more than rally some aspects of the far right. Maybe a few people on the far left, but mostly far right, to the detriment of Donald Trump and the Republican.
- [19:15]
Doug Schoen
The way I see it, there's no hope for this party. That's there's no constituency for it.
- [19:22]
Stephen A. Smith
Correct.
- [19:23]
Doug Schoen
We took a poll. It's still up on billo reilly.com who do you side with in a few between Trump and Musk, 93% of my viewers side with Trump. No surprise, seven with Musk. So Trump, you know, he has captured the imagination of millions of Republicans and MAGA people where Musk, I think he's admired in certain circles. Brilliant man, no doubt. But I don't know who would even register to be in the American Party. I don't know one human being and I know thousands of people who would register for the American party. You know anybody who would do that?
- [20:05]
Stephen A. Smith
That's why I said only a few people on the far right.
- [20:09]
Doug Schoen
I don't even know they would do.
- [20:10]
Stephen A. Smith
It because it's disillusioned with the system.
- [20:13]
Doug Schoen
Bill, you know, look, the Musk Party is. Is two things. Cut government spending big time. Liberals, never going to do that ever, ever, ever in a million years. So you get nobody from the left, zero. And be an isolationist. Okay? They don't want to be involved with. With bad things overseas. And you're right, the only people who might even consider those two things, although I think most conservatives would want cuts to the federal budget, I believe that's true. But they don't want to disrupt the Republican Party, which is trouncing at this point, the Democratic Party. Right.
- [20:58]
Stephen A. Smith
All true, Bill. I believe that there isn't a constituency. I'm not convinced Musk is prepared to not only spend the money, which he has, obviously, but to build the grassroots, which is enormously difficult. Think.
- [21:16]
Doug Schoen
Billions and billions of dollars to do this. And when he goes out to the grassroots, there's not going to be any grass.
- [21:24]
Stephen A. Smith
That's exactly.
- [21:24]
Doug Schoen
It'll be like, okay, where's the gra. It's not like the American people when they heard this, Doug, going, oh, yeah, yeah, let's get this going. As I said, I don't know one person. So what it comes down to is it looks like a vanity play to me to annoy Donald Trump by Elon Musk. Last word?
- [21:51]
Stephen A. Smith
Yeah, last word is I believe the only person will be impacted this is Donald Trump, by making it harder for Republicans, even in a good environment, to get elected. I think it, frankly, is going to hurt Musk because the party won't, as you suggest, get support and be beyond that. I think it'll hurt his business enterprises. So my advice to Elon Musk would be to put the American party back where he came from, which is his head, and concentrate on that which he's good at, which is his business.
- [22:24]
Doug Schoen
All right, Doug, thanks very much. We appreciate it. Have a good summer on Long Island. Okay. FBI is launching criminal investigation into former CIA chief John Brennan, former FBI James Comey. This is predictable, Bill. Basically it is. They lied in front of Congress. That's the allegation. Brennan and Comey lied in front of Congress about the Russian collusion stuff. And so the FBI is going after them. Will it lead anywhere? I don't think so. And let me back that up. Remember Letitia James, about a month ago, maybe two months ago, and they had her. She bought a house in Virginia. She said that she was a resident of Virginia. She isn't. She's a resident of New York. She's the Attorney General of New York. And they got her. They got her. Where's the indictment? Where? Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.
- [23:30]
Bill O'Reilly
So I thought it would be fun.
- [23:32]
Doug Schoen
If we made $15 bill, but it turns out that's very illegal.
- [23:38]
Bill O'Reilly
So there goes my big idea for the commercial.
- [23:40]
Doug Schoen
Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to 15 per month required new customer.
- [23:47]
Bill O'Reilly
Offer for first three months only.
- [23:47]
Doug Schoen
Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. Cmintmobile.com Lowe's knows July 4th savings are worth celebrating right now.

These deals are coming in hot. Lowes we help you Save. Valid through 7 9. Selection varies by location while supplies last. See lowe's.com for more details. Excludes Alaska and Hawaii. No, see, the announcement is the important thing for politicians. Now, maybe it will come against Ms. James. Certainly Donald Trump despises her. But a lot of this is just showmanship. Not to say then Brennan and Comey are good guys. They're not. They're both dishonest, in my opinion. Supreme Court says that Donald Trump can lay off members of the federal government under his supervision. The executive branch. No surprise. I mean, 15 page opinion only. Judge Brown Jackson, Justice Brown Jackson, who is uber left. Okay, she dissented, but it doesn't matter. It just makes sense. If you're the President, you're running the executive branch and you want to fire people, you can fire people. Okay, that's it. Trump administration suing California over Title 9. Title 9 is the Civil rights law that says you cannot have discrimination based on sex in any education program. And the Trump administration alleges that California is forcing girls to share, quote, intimate spaces such as locker rooms with boys, causing a hostile educational environment and denying girls educational opportunities. So they're suing the state of California. This will force California to stop this crazy stuff because the law in California is that athletes can participate in sports consistent with their gender identity. So there's no restraint. That'll change because of this lawsuit. They'll settle the lawsuit, but that's what's going on there. All right, let's shift to the culture now. We don't do a lot of culture reporting anymore. I wrote a whole book on it, Culture Warrior. And what's interesting about that book is I guess it's about 15 years old, maybe even older. Everything I wrote in the book came true. Just call me Nostradamus. About the change in the culture and what would happen and why it would happen. Anyway, the other day I was on News Nation with my pal Stephen A. Smith and Cuomo, the three Americans. And we were talking about the entertainment industry and how it is having an effect on younger Americans. And you may remember that in a poll just before the 4th of July, Generation Z, born after 1996, only 41% are proud to be an American. And then a millennial is 58%, which is a low number. And so I said to myself, why? And part of the reason is the culture of disrespect that's being peddled by the entertainment industry. And then Stephen and I got it. I, growing up as a younger person, was a big fan of R and B and Motown. Big fan. I know a lot of Those guys, the OJs and the spinners and things like that. And I loved them, and I thought they were a very positive force in America. Well, today we have a different thing, Hip hop, I guess they call it. And I believe that this hip hop stuff teaches disrespect and encourages it. Bad language, don't even wear no condoms. You know, all of that stuff. And kids as young as what, 10, 11, 12 listen to this. Instead of me listening to Four Tops and the Temptations and Smokey Robinson and all these people, they're listening to this. And I think that the level of disrespect among younger people has risen because of this kind of stuff. Am I wrong?
- [28:15]
Bill O'Reilly
I'm in no position to say definitively, Bill, that you're wrong. Where I was pushing back on you is when you talked about hip hop as if hip hop are the originators of all of this. When we talk about disrespect, when we talk about some of the lyrics that are spewed, And I'm like, have you listened to rock music? Have you listened to heavy metal music? Have you listened to some of the stuff spanning decades? Have you seen people worshiping the devil, engaging in Satanism, preaching about violence and whatever? I mean, we've seen all of this in the past, and that had nothing to do with hip hop. So when you came out on Cuomo show and you talked about hip hop, it's one thing to say that you don't like It. But it was almost as if you isolated your opinion to that as opposed to really embracing what really has been happening with the music industry, with Hollywood and some of the things that they've been perpetuating and disseminating for decades, long even before hip hop came along. That was my issue. But I don't do the biggest issue.
- [29:20]
Doug Schoen
I don't do the justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. And you're absolutely right. I mean, a lot of this rock stuff is garbage. But this hip hop industry is directed at not just African American children, but children, many of whom are marginalized. They don't have people in the house, Father in the house. Look, I wouldn't let my kids listen to Megan the Stallion and Florilla or whatever his name is that could not come into my house. Am I wrong?
- [29:50]
Bill O'Reilly
No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. You're wrong if you're saying them. I would say to you, there's certain songs I'm not going to allow you to listen to. Like for example, the artists that I grew up listening to, whether it was run DMC, it was KRS1, it was Eric Being Rakim, Public Enemy, et cetera, et cetera. In this day and age, whether it's Eminem, it's Jay Z, it's Nas, who's been around forever, along with a plethora of others, there's some songs I wouldn't allow my kids to listen to. There are other songs I don't mind. It all depends on a particular song and a particular lyrics that are being spewed. As opposed to me denigrating an artist because a particular song.
- [30:27]
Doug Schoen
That.
- [30:28]
Bill O'Reilly
That's what I'm saying to you, okay?
- [30:30]
Doug Schoen
But remember, okay, the unbelievable amount of African American children who are living without a father. It is a problem that this country has never seen at this level. You give those kids role models who are using the F word every two seconds, we've got tattoos all over them who can't speak proper English. And you are saying that this is what is going to be imitated? Look, Willie Mays was my idol growing up, all right? There couldn't have been a better idol for me than Willie Mays. Just couldn't have been, all right? And he drove me to play baseball for 15 consecutive years.

Your burger is served.
- [31:46]
Bill O'Reilly
And this is our finest Pepsi Zero Sugar. Its sweet profile perfectly balances the savory.
- [31:52]
Doug Schoen
Notes of your burger. That is one perfect combination. Burgers deserve Pepsi. And then I went over to the turn on WABC AM radio to listen to all of these black artists whose music was uplifting. That helped me. It didn't hurt me. Now the role models, many of them are hurting these kids. You got to admit that.
- [32:24]
Bill O'Reilly
I'm not denying. I have no problem admitting that. I have no problem acknowledging that. Parents. And it extends beyond the black community. White, Hispanic.
- [32:33]
Doug Schoen
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- [32:34]
Bill O'Reilly
I mean, everybody's complaining about, Everybody's complaining about it. You're absolutely right. I'm not trying. I'm not here to say that you're wrong. I just want you to contextualize things properly. So we're talking about this subject right now, Bill, and you can look at it that way and you have every right to. I'm not going to knock you for that. But allow me to retort. Let's go into your wheelhouse for a second. Right now we're looking at an unemployment rate in the United States of America that's hovering around 4 to 4.1%. In the black community, it's at 16% amongst young black males, particularly between the ages of 16 and 19, for example, I think I read the number being at about 19.8%. I've often been on the air saying this. When white folks catch a cold, black folks catch pneumonia, it's always worse for us. There's always an uphill battle to climb to get to your point. It makes it even harder when other obstacles get in the way that we know would potentially derail, particularly somebody from a, from, from an African American community on a come up looking for opportunities. But what happens, the music industry comes along and they're talking to you about making money. And here's how we want you to make the money. And so you have young minds that are being influenced, but most importantly are trying to get a leg up or trying to earn their stripes or trying to find a way to pay their bills and to take care of themselves and their family, et cetera, et cetera, that are presented with these opportunities. So when you talk about a hip hop industry, you might talk about the artist and I might say somebody like Bill O'Reilly is informed enough to know it extends far beyond that particular artist because those artists answer to somebody. Somebody makes those albums, they promote those albums, they market those albums, they disseminate those albums.
- [34:10]
Doug Schoen
Yeah, but the artist is creating. It is creating the scenario that if you are a certain person, you can use that language. The reason that the minority unemployment is higher is because of the presentation. If you are an African American in this country and you present yourself in a way the employment employer believes that is going to help the business, you'll get the job.
- [34:37]
Bill O'Reilly
Not always.
- [34:39]
Doug Schoen
No system is perfect. But if. But believe me, believe me, you have a just as good a chance to get that job, and you don't want to work for a racist anyway. Okay?
- [34:50]
Bill O'Reilly
Right.
- [34:52]
Doug Schoen
But if you go in and you can't speak English and you're going the F word every two minutes and you got a tattoo of a panther on your neck, there's a good chance you're not gonna get the job.
- [35:04]
Bill O'Reilly
That is totally true. But that is not a vast majority of African Americans out in this world. And you have to take that into consideration as well. Now, you might look at some members of the hip hop community and you might see them acting a certain way, which is unfortunate, and we don't hesitate to call them out for that. But we also see a lot of these hip hop artists doing fantastic things within the community, within the world.
- [35:25]
Doug Schoen
Okay? But that doesn't justify. Look, Jay Z sold crack, all right? Kill people, all right? I have no respect for him. None. Zero.
- [35:34]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, he's. He's. And he's a friend of mine.
- [35:37]
Doug Schoen
Okay, I'm sorry. Well, I'm sorry, but I'm a truthful man. He sold crack.
- [35:41]
Bill O'Reilly
So am I. So am I.
- [35:42]
Doug Schoen
So if he would come out and he would say, I was absolutely wrong, don't use crack. All right? That is horrible.
- [35:52]
Bill O'Reilly
And I'm saying to you is you can do two things at once. You can admit exactly what Bill O'Reilly said and then turn around and say, excuse me, this is what I had to do to survive. Because the opportunity.

Doug Schoen
I don't believe that for a second.
- [36:05]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, tell me. Tell me something you don't believe that.
- [36:07]
Doug Schoen
Because there are most African Americans don't sell crack.
- [36:12]
Bill O'Reilly
I understand that, but you're using a specific incident. I'm going to a macro perspective. There are an abundance of situations involving males in the African American community where trying times present themselves and challenges present themselves. I was fortunate and blessed enough to have a mother and a father in the home. Bill, even My father wanted to do it.
- [36:33]
Doug Schoen
And that's why, even though I feel terrible about the unsupervised children, not just African Americans, but all of them who get involved with this hip hop, which is going to hurt them. Last question. Wouldn't it be better.
- [36:46]
Bill O'Reilly
Not as simple as that, but.
- [36:47]
Stephen A. Smith
Okay.
- [36:48]
Doug Schoen
Wouldn't it be better for the world if Motown came back and all of the good songs that we still listen to 50, 60 years later, okay, dominated the music industry and not this other garbage? Wouldn't that be better?
- [37:08]
Bill O'Reilly
I think a lot of it exists now. You've got a lot of beautiful artists out here. Have you ever listened to Joe? Have you ever listened to Akon? Have you ever listened to an abundance of other guys out there with some great music, some great albums out there, whatever. Everybody can't be Prince, Michael Jackson, the Temptations, the Four Tops. You forgot to mention the Osley Brothers. Let's not forget about Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross. You had a whole bunch of artists that were absolutely fabulous.

Doug Schoen
I got. I got to stop you there on Cuomo tonight, if we have time. You asked me about going to the Isley Brothers concert, okay? I was the only white guy in there. The only white guy told me, okay?
- [37:45]
Bill O'Reilly
You told me that, and I remember.
- [37:47]
Doug Schoen
And the crowd.
- [37:48]
Bill O'Reilly
But see, here's your problem. Here's your problem. You think. You think you're loved because you. You. You know Bill O'Reilly is right and he tells the truth. That's not why you're respected and why you can walk anywhere even when people disagree with you. Do you know what the real reason is, Bill? Even if we think you're wrong, we know you mean what you say. You believe it. You feel it. We could go on and on about this particular conversation. I could have corrected you on a few things. But I know that your foundation, the foundation of your belief has some merit, and you're bold enough and brave enough to say it.
- [38:27]
Doug Schoen
Appreciate the question.
- [38:28]
Bill O'Reilly
Rather than hiding behind some curtain. So that's where it comes from. But it ain't because we think you're right all the time. Because.
- [38:33]
Doug Schoen
No, no. And I don't want you to. I don't want you to think I'm right. I just try to make an overwhelming case. And that's what the three Americans is all about. That's why it's sweeping the country. You got three separate guys who all have belief systems who throw it on out there, and then people can say, all right, that's been. That's it. Has she been able to See.

Bill O'Reilly
You could be nicer. You could be nicer to Chris Cuomo. You could be nicer to Chris.

Doug Schoen
You know, he doesn't deserve it. Okay? I mean, I tell you, he just doesn't deserve it. All right, I'll see you soon. Thanks for helping us out. We appreciate it. Thank you. That was a great discussion. CPNA is a really solid guy, just so you know. Back with a final thought in a moment. All right, Here is the final thought of the day. Concierge membership means that if you have a problem, you have a direct email to me and my staff, and we will try to help you solve the problem. But what we're finding out is that many of our concierge members, and we love them, of course, force don't take the steps to solve their own problems. Now, I'll just give you one real mundane. I got a letter that says I'm going to New York City for the first time. What should I see? Well, there are thousands of things to see in New York City. What am I? Statue of Liberty? Empire state building? The 911 memorial? I mean, you got to narrow it down, okay? You got to tell me what you want, what you like, you like museums, you like sports. Then I can guide you. So when you write to us for concierge and you want problem solved, you got to say, this is what I've done. This is how I've handled so far. Then I can step in. My producer said that we often ask for the names of lawyers so we can talk to your lawyer to see if you're being represented in an honest way. More than 50% of people won't give us the lawyer information. We cannot help you then. If you give us a lawyer information, we get on the phone with the lawyer. I can report back to you saying, this is what they are doing or this is what they are not doing that they should do, and we told them to do it. So in this life, you have to help yourself, and then other people can assist you more easily. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you again tomorrow.
