John Lennon would have been 85 years old today, but of course he's been dead for 45 years,

murdered outside the Dakota building back on Monday night, Dalpin's Patriots, 1980.

Again, Howard CoSell dead on arrival.

And what's interesting that Lourafino just told me is his son, Sean, has a birthday

on his father's birthday today as well. Yep. Just like me and my mom, Naomi. We share the same birthday, April the 19th. So happy birthday to the great Beatle, John Lennon. Bill O'Reilly's so good to me. You know, I need good ratings in the 9 o'clock hour, too. 8 o'clock hour are pretty good. Bill gets the best ratings of any show all week long on

WabC with me. So believe it or not, this helps me that Bill stuck around today because John

Shell was in studio for quite some time as he retired from the force yesterday after 32 years.

He was the best, he still is the best, he'll always be the best, whether it's 9 p.m.

weeknights on Wabc or his own amazing website, Bill O'Reilly.com, great interviews, great

stories. It's just great television. It's killing series 14 in, confronting the president's

amazing book, confronting evil. Still number one. Still still number one being out since late

September and there's a great job too I must say I catch these news nation clips now with him

and Cuomo and Stephen A. Smith I think he's taking that show back on the road again him Chris

Cuomo and Stephen A. Smith he's just best ever, my friend Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, good Thursday morning, buddy.

How are you?

I'm okay.

I have a question for you.

Do you think Bo Dietl's teeth hurt after the interview?

Have you ever in your life?

How does the tongue move that fast?

It's like a mamba, a snake, the striking snake.
