Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, September 16, 2020,

stand up for your country. Well, Town Hall and ABC are not real successful. Only about

four million people tuned in. See President Trump and George E. Stepanopoulos and a few people

that were handpicked by the network in Philadelphia. These Town Hall formats are kind of stale.

You know, President can say what he wants. He's a president. You know, Stepanopoulos tries to

Because what I did was with China, I put a ban on with Europe, I put a ban on and we would have

lost thousands of more people had I not put the ban on. So that was called action, not with the

mouth, but in actual fact, we did a very, very good job when we put that ban on. Whether you call

a talent or luck, it was very important. So we saved a lot of lives when we did that.

Okay, the problem here is semantics, meaning of words. So everybody heard the Bob Woodward tape

where President Trump said I downplayed it because I didn't want to panic the people.

And now he says he upplayed it by his action. See, that's the subtletoe. So let me read you to
