0:00.0	Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Thank you for watching the No Spin News from Washington, D.C.
0:19.1	It is Wednesday, April 22nd,
0:21.4	2026 to stand up for your country. So it was chaotic getting down here.
0:27.8	It's always chaotic in New York City. It took me two hours ago,
0:31.5	20 minutes, 20 miles, I should say. I live 20 miles from Manhattan two hours it's insane and it's not
0:42.7	going to get any better because there's nobody actually working on moving the
0:48.0	traffic in and out of the nation's largest city so it gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
0:57.0	I just made it.
1:00.1	And God intervened because the train Amtrak, which isn't bad,

1:54.0	correspondence dinner. First time in his five years in office, Donald Trump is attending. And that's why I'm going to be there.
2:04.5	Not because of the president, but because if anybody misbehaves, they're going to have to
2:10.6	answer me. And I mean that. I'm going to have their names and every place else on Monday up here.
2:24.9	And if they get out of control, which I can't imagine because the Secret Service will be all over the place, I'll confirm right in the room.
2:29.9	Because you have to respect the office of the presidency.
2:33.6	Anyway, that is why we are here.
