| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the Noose Band News. Monday, November 7, 2022. Stand up for your country. |
| 0:19.2 | And you do that by voting tomorrow. I'm not going to lecture you. I mean, it's ridiculous. |
| 0:24.8 | If you're watching and listening to me, you're very interested in your country. |
| 0:27.7 | And you will go out and cast your ballot, I'm sure. |
| 0:32.0 | So the midterms 2022 are upon us. Why are there so important |
| 0:38.4 | besides the active political implications? Why are midterm elections in general so important? |
| 0:46.8 | That is a subject of this evening's talking points memo. Americans generally speaking do not trust |
| 0:55.8 | politicians. Now, we see them at rallies, yay, and all of that. I remember 11 months ago going |
| 1:04.9 | out with Donald Trump on a history tour. The crowds were delirious to see him. |
| 1:10.8 | But those are the true believers. Most Americans understand we have to have active leadership. |

| 1:40.5 | discipline you must have, or you just become corrupt. And that is the truth. |
| 1:46.4 | So the midterm elections are a constraint on the powerful. Between 1934, that's FDR, |
| 1:57.9 | in 2018, all right, two years, four years ago, the average loss of a president in power, |
| 2:08.4 | the average loss of a president in power was 28 house seats and four Senate seats. That's the |
| 2:17.7 | average over that big period of time. And it's not an accident. Americans will try to temper power. |
| 2:28.2 | So the data is fascinating for our recent lifetime. |
| 2:34.9 | You sort of would Bill Clinton. 1994, he beat Bush the elder in 1992, as you remember, |
| 2:43.9 | because the economy went south and Bush looked befuddled about it. Didn't have any confidence in him |
| 2:51.6 | to turn the economy around. His new vibrant guy Bill Clinton comes in and he wins. |
