Hey, everybody, it is Monday, September 28th. You're listening to the Mo News podcast. I'm Moshe Oinounou.

Jill Wagner (0:09)

And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

Mosheh Oinounou (0:13)

And we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. As we were getting started here, I told Jill, pretend this edition is live, like we did on Thursday.

Jill Wagner (0:21)

Which meant that, of course, I flubbed the beginning.

Mosheh Oinounou (0:24)

She said her name.

Of all things, she had to say her name twice, everybody. For the record, you heard the good version of it. Just now, if Ari and our editor caught, I assume he gave you the good version.

As this comes out at 4:30 AM. But we mentioned that because we did do a live edition for Friday's podcast that we taped on Thursday. And we're going to make that a weekly tradition now. We got great feedback from all of you. So if you would like tomorrow's news today, at least on Thursday, you'll be getting it live on our YouTube channel at 5 PM Eastern Time, typically every week Thursday. So you can watch us do our thing live. And maybe over time we grow to more days out of the week. But nonetheless, Jill, we're going to just run through today's podcast. No mistakes, no errors. And if we get them, just work through it because we're doing this live.

Jill Wagner (1:13)

In the words of Bill O'Reilly, do it, love. I was so happy you posted that video. For anyone who's not familiar, Bill O'Reilly was an anchor over at Inside Edition. They must have had him trying to tape some sort of tease or the end of the show.

Mosheh Oinounou (1:30)

The end of the show. They were pre-taping the end of the show.

Jill Wagner (1:33)

And I guess he got frustrated.

Mosheh Oinounou (1:35)

From 1993, you guess he got frustrated. Jill, he was throwing things and lobbing obscenities and yelling at people. He's like, what does it mean, play it out? What do you mean, play it out? They're like, to play us out, you know, the expression, play us out. Like, we're going to have the music play at the end. I guess he wasn't familiar with the expression. He got mad at the producer. That clip has gone viral, has been seen hundreds of millions of times at this point. And so that's for many of you. I found out as we posted that clip on Instagram, you make references to the Bill O'Reilly, do it live. We'll do it live all the time.

Jill Wagner (2:07)

But what that really tells you, and Mosheh, you would know this better than anybody working in the TV business. It means that some one somewhere did not like Bill O'Reilly because they saved that tape that does not make him look good at all and decided to air it.

Mosheh Oinounou (2:22)

Having worked with Bill O'Reilly, Jill, I know many people that don't like Bill O'Reilly. I mean, remember, he was pushed out at Fox News and he's still going. I think he's a News Nation now and has his own thing. But yes, there's no shortage of people who have issues with Bill O'Reilly, Jill. Actually, fun story before we get started here. I had this experience and so did a colleague of mine. I was the Fox News campaign reporter in 8 following the John McCain presidential campaign. I had a friend, Bonnie Capp. She was the reporter covering the Barack Obama presidential campaign. Remember, 8 was Obama versus McCain. They both did interviews with Bill O'Reilly, who at the time was the highest rated cable news show. They both candidates, Obama and McCain made references to, hey, are you familiar with Moshe? This is McCain. I was in the studio.

McCain was like, are you familiar with Moshe, Bill, who covers the campaign for you guys, he's doing a great job, and Bill's like, never heard of him. Then Obama comes in and has the same thing. He's like, I love Bonnie Capp, she does a great job for you guys at Fox, and Bill's like, never heard of her.

Needless to say, the presidential candidates both do us, but Bill O'Reilly, who was at the network we worked for, and we were feeding material from the campaign trail too, never heard of us.

Jill Wagner (3:37)

Well, Moshe, that could be one of the many reasons that that video was leaked, because there could be many people who feel the way that you do.

Mosheh Oinounou (3:45)

Not by me. That was from a previous network. That was when he was in CBS days. But I could do a whole Ask Mo Anything podcast just about Bill O'Reilly stories at some point, folks.
