Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Thursday, March 11, 2021. Stand up for your country.

0:22.0

Well, I'll tell you about today, things you will not hear anywhere else, which is our hallmark, here at the No Spin News. Let's begin with a year ago today. A year ago today. Remember that? March 11, 2020.

0:36.0

The World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic because of COVID. And the number of things happened to rapid succession today, a year ago.

0:47.0

Number one, the stock market went down 700 points. All right. Number two, the National Basketball Association canceled games. Number three, Tom Hanks and his wife announced they had COVID in Australia.

0:59.0

And everybody was going like, this, whoa, what is going on? Now, I had warned you, if you were with us back on January 23, 2020, that this COVID thing coming out of Wuhan, China, was going to be bad.

1:15.0

Now, I was the first broadcast journalism guy to do it. I believe I could be wronging that, but we haven't seen any earlier than that. But I have to say, I was a panic. I mean, see the terrible toll that COVID has taken. I didn't see that.

1:33.0

I thought it would be, you know, three or four months, and then it would kind of subside like most pandemics do. So anyway, today is the anniversary. And tonight, Joe Biden will speak about where we're going from here. Okay.

1:48.0

Okay. About 15 minutes. We'll get to that in a moment. But I want to play you then President Trump's sound bite on the COVID situation. Go.

1:59.0

I am confident that by counting and continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens. And we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus.

2:13.0

We are at a critical time in the fight against the virus. We made a life-saving move with early action on China. Now we must take the same action with Europe. We will not delay. I will never hesitate to take any necessary steps to protect the lives, health and safety of the American people. I will always put the well-being of America first.

2:40.0

Okay. So President Trump took three actions. He stopped flights from China in January. Then today, a year ago, he stopped flights from Europe coming here. And they automatically, I shouldn't say automatically, they went into the vaccine mode.

2:57.0

All right. So US scientists went into the vaccine mode very early. And that's why we were able to get it at the end of November 2020, which was a miracle, I think. And of course, the press didn't give President Trump any credit at all for that.

3:13.0

Now, yesterday, a year ago, May, March 10, 2020, Joe Biden said this.

3:23.0

People just wonder what's going on. He's down there golfing today. I mean, there's no sense of urgency. The American people, I think, want to know that their president is on top of this, understands it and that he's being guided by science.

3:37.0

Okay, guided by science. Obviously, a theme of Joe Biden's ever since he announced his run for the presidency, guided by science. So who was the top science guy in the Trump administration? Well, that would have been a Dr. Anthony Fauci.

3:56.0

All right. And here's what the doctor said on March 8, 2020. Go.

4:02.0

Right now, people should not be worried. There's no reason to be walking around with the mask. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. And it might even block a droplet.

4:16.0

But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

4:21.0

All right, there's the science. You're a goal. All right, there's the science. So President Trump, he didn't go on the mask wearing tangent until months later.

4:35.0

And so after hearing the scientists, Dr. Anthony Fauci say what he just said, a lot of Americans said, I'm not going to wear that mask. That was a mistake in hindsight. So the mask is a barrier, both to get it and to spread it.

4:55.0

The barriers that fool proof people still get it by wearing a mask if you're in a crew, but it is a barrier. So I think I provide a pretty good perspective about a year ago from the top three guys, Trump Biden and Fauci.

5:13.0

Now what went wrong? Well, immediately, COVID was politicized by the corrupt corporate media because there was a presidential race underway already.
