Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Thursday, August 31st, 2021, 2023, stand up for your country. You can't believe it's the last day of August. I'm sure you feel the same way. It's kind of disturbing. When I was a little kid, school started after Labor Day, and it coined. incited with my birthday, and I was like, ah, you know, can't we move school back maybe to February? Anyway, we have a special no spin news tonight. It's a live show. I'm doing it

live on tape, like I always do. It's not clips or anything like that. But the Republican Party is really at a crossroads now, because four more years of the Democrats, and we might have to kiss traditional America goodbye. That's how bad it is. Yet the Republican Party really doesn't have a dominant figure other than Donald Trump, and he's not really a Republican or a conservative. He's a populist, right? So he's not steeped in Republican history or promoting a party agenda.

And I know that because I'm that way. I know the history of it, but I am a registered independent. I don't align with a party because my job. job is to watch everybody in power or seeking power. So for me to align myself with a party, then I couldn't do my job. And that's why I don't. But that being said, I have to say that this time around, I can't vote for any Democrat. And I always split my ticket. But there isn't one Democrat running in 24 that I could support. Because all of them have allowed the progressive movement to take over the party. All of them. You don't hear any dissent, even from the so-called

moderate Democrats. Now, I went over the progressive agenda last night. If you did not see that, we urge you to watch it. If you subscribe to Bill O'Reilly.com as a premium or conciergeers member, you can watch any time you want, anywhere you want, and we'll give you a written transcript should you need that free. So I did the whole progressive thing last night. I laid it down. And to progressives control Joe Biden. Joe Biden's not really a Democrat anymore. He's a progressive. So the Republicans have got to attack that

and put forth better policies, particularly problem solving, in order to win in 24. And that's what I'm going to do tonight. All right? So let's start with the most important issue, the economy. So unemployment is low. It was low under Trump.

It's low under Biden. good thing, obviously. We want people to work. We want them to climb that ladder of success. Labor Day is coming up. That'll be my final thought. But work is what makes America go. Calvin Coolidge-June said, the business of America is business. He was wrong. The business of America is work. There would be no business, if not for the workers. So unemployment. fine. Spending wildly out of control. Since Biden took office a little more than two and a half years ago, $17 trillion has been spent by the federal government, and there's no restraint in cycle. You can't sustain that, all right? Now, most Americans don't care because it doesn't

affect them directly. Oh, so what? They're spending money in Washington, the Treasury Prince money. Well, down the road, something really bad is going to happen. I don't know what it is. do know that you just can't continue to do this wild spending. Now under Trump, a big spending guy, first two and a half years, he spent $10 trillion, as opposed to Biden's $17 trillion. And as we went over last night, Biden is spending the money and the Democratic Party wants this to buy votes, to give voters stuff so they vote for the Democrats because they know the Republicans were not do this much longer. They did it under Trump.

Trump said he had to rebuild the military and he had COVID, all of that. But even so, $7 trillion more in spending under Biden the same period of time. Now, the most important part of the economy is what you spend. So under Biden, food is up across the board, 20%, right? and gas is up 60%. Okay, we're taking these figures from the government's own statistics. Gas up, food up 20, gas up 60. That just drains.

It takes right out of your wallet. Okay, so then we go to real wages. Because of that, inflation, higher prices for things that you have to have, real wages are down 5% under budget. Biden. He'll never tell you that. The Democrats will know, and a press won't report it. Okay, but that's the truth. The average American workers lost $5,000 in spending power under Biden. Under Trump, 8.7% increase in real wages. Now, you didn't know that, because Trump never says that he's too busy insulting people. But 8.7% you had that much more money.

money to spend. So there's no comparison. And that's number one for the Republican Party. Get those stats out. Drill them home. Because that's where Americans live. All right. Day to day spending. So when you have a tremendous advantage on the economic front, you've got a pound at home. The press is never going to report it. We have gone over this a million times. The press is corrupt. Republicans can't count on it to buy their own ads in key states. That could go either way. Second, culture. We all know the woke cancel culture and extremism in this country is driven by the Democratic Party. Everybody knows that. All right, All you have to do is go to Florida, where DeSantis done a very good job countering the woke Democrats.

All right. He's really put a hurt on them. That's his strongest suit in his presidential campaign. DeSantis recognized it early and pass a number of laws to stop this extremism in the culture. I'm going to give you two examples. The first one is this notion embraced by the Democratic Party, that there should be no boundaries at all in gender. Go. I think for a lot of young trans people across the country, well, the trans community in general, but particularly for young people, this is, they are, they feel like they are being told they don't belong, that they're not worthy of the same rights.

and dignity as everybody else. And honestly, it's making them really lose faith in government because the idea that government would come along and tell people that in schools we're going to examine you and your reproductive anatomy in order to determine whether or not you're a female is just insane. What's insane is a woman's lying. Because the schools only do that in competitive sports. because any sane person knows that a biological male is generally stronger than a biological female.

And if the male says he's a woman now and competes with women, they're going to dominate. Anybody knows that? It's had nothing to do with the government. This has to do with the Democratic Party trying to disassemble. biological gender, okay, because they want to disassemble every tradition in America, including your birth, your birth certificate. They want to alter it, free fire zone. Anybody can do whatever they want, including commit as many crimes as they want.

The other thing where the Republicans have got to get this in the forefront is the anti-police posture of the Democratic Party. And when it comes to funds, it's not always just about the number of officers in the street. It's about these police precincts that have tanks, that have military weaponry, and frankly, have a degree of, that have a degree of material resources and warlike, warlike weaponry that people ask, why does a local police precinct have this in the first place? Okay, so the woman's boarding on incoherent, and she is a star in the Democratic Party.

But the general thread in the Democratic precincts is the police are bad, and you go to any town run by Democrats, and you see that. Ask any cop in Chicago or San Francisco or L.A. or New York City, or Baltimore, or St. Louis, or Philadelphia. Ask any police officer. Do you feel supported by your Democratic politicians? Come on. That's got to be in the forefront of any Republican campaign. Now, the folks who are behind the curve, not you guys. I mean, I know I say nice things about Bill O'Reilly.com viewers and Osmond News viewers,

but you deserve it. You're ahead, because I'm ahead. But most of our compatriots are way, way behind. The cycle. They don't really understand what the economy and this wild spending, how bad it is. They don't understand how bad the culture is, particularly if they don't live in crazy cities like San Francisco. But once the word gets out, once they see with their own eyes at Dylan Mulaney, Mulvaney, whatever name is, are pushing Bud Light, they rebel. And so Bud Light is dead. Disney is so bad, lowest stock price in decades,

and now Disney's going to try to sell it self. Okay? Because it's not coming back. The image is so bad. Now, DeSantis had something to do with that. And then Target and other stores, which play into this madness. All right, the consumer, when if Schumer finally wakes up, I'm not buying, not going there.

That's what the Republican Party has to do. They have to wake up the people who are far behind because they cast ballots. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage gold IRA.

They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326, 556.5.6. or text Bill to 998899. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new

new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid, conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay, next one is border immigration law. So I don't know what else to say about this.

I'll repeat it for the, what, 100th time? Trump's Remain in Mexico policy cut down a legal migration into this country by about 80%. 80%. Day Biden took office, he knocked out, remained in Mexico, signed an executive order that anyone in the world who wanted to petition for asylum in this country could do so, and most could come here. That's a violation of our immigration law, Biden and care.

And so we're flooded now with migrants. Flooded. And the Democrat cities are taking it the worst. Will it take? This is not a sign of progress. This is a sign of a crisis, greatest, I believe humanitarian crises, the city has ever witnessed.

going to do the duality of calling for rightfully the resources for the city. Even something simple as calling the state of emergency, if the president does that, it allow us to get resources. Well, you're never going to do that because it's his fault. Biden's fault, single-handedly. Now, Adams, the mayor of New York City, is an enabler. He's a big sanctuary city guy. So the Republicans take all of these people that are now complaining about.

be out-of-control migrant situation, string them together in an ad, and then show the massive amounts of people at the border coming on in here. Again, Americans who don't live at the border, they don't pay attention to the news cycle. They get it, but they're way behind on this. So, and then the drugs I'm going to deal with in the homeless thing. along with the migrants comes, a flood of narcotics. Does Biden care about that? No.

And I'll remind you that the Vice President Kamala Harris was put in charge for the border. Find the rude causes. Have we heard from her? No. Has she gone down there? No. It's just, it's such a joke, but it's not funny. So now I've given you three big ones. The economy, okay, the border, and the culture. Just those three alone should assure a Republican landslide in 24. But because the Republican parties in such a disarray, that isn't assured.

Next one, Ukraine. Now, this is, we're getting into Nutsville now. I get letters, and I don't answer the letters because I'm not in business. Anybody wants to think that Putin's invasion of Ukraine should be allowed, and he should be able to do what he wants over there, you have a right to believe that. You do. And there is a subset of both liberals and conservatives

who want to pull out of Ukraine, let Putin do what he wants to do. Not a big crew, but it's there. You know who the people are. Now, I know that a responsible foreign policy is vital to every American's interest because it's a worldwide economy. You can't let Putin run wild and she take over Taiwan with all the chips and everything are down.

And you can't. You can't. It has to be some kind of world order. But it's how you go about it. So the Republicans, number one, have to admit that Ukraine is a corrupt country because it is. It is. right we're not talking about the massachusetts bay colony here for decades ever since world war two ended ukraine sided with the nazis by the way okay ukraine has been a corrupt

country so get that up front and we have to watch every dime we send there and so far we've sent about 80 billion with more to come the by the administration but we have to to stop Putin there. So that overrides the internal politics of Ukraine. Ukraine, by the way, is probably going to bring down Joe Biden. That's another thing. Okay. So the first thing is for the Republicans to say, look, this isn't about Ukraine. This is about America. Can't let this killer dictator Putin run wild. And this is where he's got to be stopped. Most Americans are going to respond to that, I believe. Okay, but you've got to be up front with him about the whole thing.

Remember, America did business with Stalin. They knew Stalin was almost as bad as Hitler. We knew that. Franklin Roosevelt knew that. But we allied with Stalin to defeat Hitler. Okay, sometimes you don't have a choice about who your allies are. and that's a situation in Ukraine. Now, abortion.

This is an issue where it has to be presented in a reasonable way. So Nikki Haley, in the first debate, the former governor of South Carolina, was very reasonable. The Supreme Court has ruled that each state regulates abortion laws. And that is what the Constitution pretty much says. Right? Democrats hate that. Most Democrats want abortion no matter what. I haven't heard any Democrats, with the exception of maybe Joe Manchin, all right, put forth any kind of moderation on abortion at all. Okay? But the Republicans have got to be clear-eyed about this. They can't be saying we're going to throw women in jail. We're going to do this. We're going to punish. We're going to do that. It's a persuadable issue. But the Democrats are so far out there, that should become what the campaign, the Republican campaign, concentrates on. Roll it. Most of all, because no one, not the president, not a Supreme Court justice, not your partner, should be able to force you to remain pregnant if you do not wish to.

Our message today is loud and clear. We will keep fighting until we achieve full. reproductive justice in america and what full reproductive justice means abortion anytime any place for any reason stay out of the way so this is a human rights issue okay the human rights issue this is what the chinese do the communist chinese they want to kill a baby they kill the baby

government kills the baby you want to do it they do it you want that that what you want here that's what that woman wants she killed a baby up until what? Five minutes before birth? She would. Nobody has a right to say you have to be pregnant if you don't want to be pregnant. Listen to her. Listen to how extreme that is. In my ad, that'd be all over the place. But the Republicans have got to be reasonable to win over independent women in particular. Can't get into religion on it. You can't do that. This is a secular country. Crime, homeless, drugs. Okay. So we all know the catastrophe of San Francisco,

a whole city ruined by drug addicted homeless people. Los Angeles has 80,000 homeless drug addict. They're not all drug addicts, but about 80% of them are. New York City has almost 100,000 of these people. Now, number one, quality of life crimes have to be enforced. There's a reason you have quality of life laws. So somebody can't come up on your lawn, your front lawn, and put up a tent and take heroin. Right?

That's trespassing. If all you need to do is enforce the trespass laws against these people who are all over the place. And then enforce the drug laws. You're not allowed to consume hard narcotics. And you put them away. These people in a cell somewhere and you offer them rehabilitation. They want rehabilitation. I'll pay for it.

I want my tax money to go to drug rehab. But most of them don't want it. These drug addicts don't want rehabilitation. They want to be high all day, every day. That's what they want to do. And if they intrude on your rights or my rights or if they commit crimes, they don't care. Those people are dangerous.

I'm sorry, they're dangerous people. They infect other people. They do all kinds of horrible things. They destroy cities. And we'll let them get away with them. Well, the Republican Party says, enough. We're not doing that anymore. Big.

It's an emotional issue. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't.

It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven. Education.

Okay. So public school education in many places, not all. Where I live on Long Island, schools are generally, public schools are generally good. The problem is a culture in the public schools, which is why I, I sent my urchins to Catholic schools, and both of them are prospering, both educationally and culturally, okay, because there was a structure in the Catholic school, both inside and outside the classroom. So if you were using your machine to bully somebody, this, but you didn't do it on the property

of the school, the Catholic school will take action. Public school will not. If you're using terrible language, all right, outside of the public school, public school is not going to do anything to you. Catholic school will. I wanted that kind of discipline and a work. Okay. Most Americans can't afford private school.

So they have to go to the public schools. Public schools are dominated by Democrats and the teachers' unions. Teachers unions donated $14 million, okay, to the Democrats in 2022 that cycle. They bought, they bought them. And the teachers unions basically say, eh, anything goes. You got a bad teacher, teacher the kids hate, test scores are low in a jail. You can't touch that teacher. You can't touch them or her.

Now, what do you do about it? Well, you can do the Florida, Texas model, which is what the Republicans should rally around here. So in Florida and Texas, there are standards of education that each public school has to meet. That means no indoctrination. That's the don't say gay law. It's not don't say gay. It's don't indoctrinate seven-year-olds into topics they can't possibly understand. There's a law.

DeSantis was behind it. Same law in Texas, okay, even though Dallas and Houston, pretty rough there because the Democrats control those inner cities and Austin as well. So this is not, education is not a driver of votes for the Republicans, like the economy is, the culture is, crime is, it doesn't drive, but the Republicans should have a well-thought-out. model of what public education looks like. Race. So for decades, the Democratic Party has tried to divide whites and blacks primarily. Okay? So that's why African Americans vote in a monolith for Democrats, because Democrats say, look,

we believe that you're being persecuted by white Republicans, white supremacist, and not only are we going to fight them, but we're going to give you an enormous amount of stuff. Okay, look at the food stamp program, which is Biden has, it's on steroids now under Biden. No drug testing, no provision you have to look for a job, none of that, nothing. Okay, it's here you go, here you go, here you go. That's why the debt is so high, entitlements and other crazy spending. So the race thing, not only is a political thing, but it's a social thing. because I'll submit to you that white Americans now are very, very cautious around their

fellow black citizens, very cautious. That's not the way to foster good race relations. And the reason is because the progressives want blacks to hate whites. Go. But we can't stop at criminal justice reform or policing reform. for that matter. We are not merely fighting to tear down the systems of oppression in the criminal justice system. We are fighting to tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing, in education, in health care, in employment, in the air we breathe. So white people are oppressing.

That's what the democratic message is. You know, Race is a touchy subject, but the Republicans have got to figure out how to present the race issue in a way that exposes what you just heard there. The Democratic Party wants black Americans to believe they are oppressed by whites. That's what they want. That foster good race relations? I don't think so. Social Security and Medicare. Again, this is not an issue that you can really camp.

pain on, but it's a coming disaster. So the country's getting older and the younger people are not able to support the older people. Simple as that. So right now, Social Security has a $3 trillion deficit. That means the government pays $3 trillion out more than it takes in on Social Security taxes. Unsustainable. Can't sustain it. Okay? On Medicare, it's $450 billion deficit. So you combine the two, and it's about $3.25 trillion every year. The government can't cover. Now, Americans do not want any cuts in Social Security or Medicaid care.

Okay, they don't. Cross the board. Republicans, Democrats, and they don't want it. But when you can float, and I wouldn't do it this time around because it's too crazy and the Democrats will seize on it and the press will seize on it, I would raise the retirement age down the road. Just like they try to do what they did in France and there were riots all over the place. There wouldn't be riots here, I don't think. I think most Americans understand now that with medical science, people are much more viable into their late 60s, early 70s. But that's coming.

Finally, tribalism. So we're divided into tribes. This is basically the media's fault. And I remember Ted Koppel coming on, the O'Reilly Factor, telling me that the division, the country was all my fault. Because what I did was establish a primetime news program that laid out in no uncertain terms what my belief system was. That's what the O'Reilly Factor was.

That's what it was named the O'Reilly Factor. Koppel objected to that. Why? Because Koppel is a devoted liberal, and he knew that I was making tremendous strides in traditional conservative communities because they finally had a voice to counter the Koppels of the world. Koppel didn't like that. Now, I was polite because I respect Ted Koppel as a journalist, a good journalist. All right? But I knew what he was doing.

But now the news industry is to use a cliche on steroids, and that divides people. So if you watch MSNBC, you've got to be a devoted liberal. You can't be independent. You can't be traditional. You can't. There's so much garbage on that thing. If you watch Fox, what is it? 97% the last survey, conservative people watching Fox.

When I was there was 60%. and it was 20% liberal and 20% independent or undefined. Okay, now it's 95, 97%. Because that's what FNC has decided to do, program for the people who believe in conservative tenants. I never did that. I wanted everybody to watch the factor, and everybody pretty much did at one time or another.

So the electronic media includes talk radio has made us into tribes. So we consume our own news. Okay? So in New York Times, you can't read it unless you're a liberal. All right, I can't read it at all because every article I can see what they're doing and how they're misleading their readers. I can't read that. I can't read the Washington Post.

I just get too angry. And I'm not learning anything from them. I can read a Wall Street Journal and I do every day. All right? And I got my other news sources that I go to for one thing or another. But this tribalism promotes hatred. All right. So if you're not in my tribe, I don't like you. And I want to hurt you in sometimes. Now, I got to tell you, I get thousands of letters a week from all over the world because the no-spin news now goes everywhere.

And I don't get a lot of hate. I don't. And now we have standard, very strict procedures about what you can and can't write on our message boards or anything like that. You can't use profanity. You can't write any hate stuff. You can't do it. But the mail that I get is not full of hate. It's full of concern. Okay?

So I would say that most of my audience does not like Joe Biden. They don't like them personally. They don't like him as a president. But the level of hate against Trump, far more than what I'm seeing against Biden. So that's where you want to be. You want to, and the Republican Party wants to be there as well. So Hannity, he did something very smart

by interviewing Gavin Newsom. Now I was smart, and it was smart of Newsom to participate. And now Hanney's trying to put together a debate between DeSantis and Newsom. Very good. Very good. That's what we should be trying to do here. Strong convictions and beliefs are excellent. All right?

I'm a man who does that. And I admire and respect that. As long as they're based on honesty and what's good for America. I said last night on News Nation with Chris Cuomo, that Mitch McConnell, that, what's her name in Feinstein, Senator, California, and Joe Biden should all resign today. Because they can't do their jobs, and they're not helping the country by keeping their power. Out, get out. You're not helping the country. But they won't. Tribalism, not a good thing. Keep an open mind.

All right, so there you have the 10 things, and I hope you found them worthy. If you have any other things that you believe the Republican Party should concentrate on the upcoming campaign, let me know. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. For those of you in Kazakhstan, name in town, even if I can't pronounce your town, I will try. Okay? We get a lot of mail with no town now because there's a lot of new people all over the world watching our presentation. So it's Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name and town, if you wish to opine. Good mail segment, final thought, coming your way next.

Okay, let's go to The Mail. We got Charlie Fish, Colonial Heights, Virginia. Great memo on the progressive movement, scary, but very good description. Later with Ms. Moll, you opine that perhaps 20% of Americans were progressive. My question, how much of our government are progressive? and is there enough traditionalists, regardless the party, control them? The answer to the second question is, yes,

DeSantis has controlled the progressives in Florida by confronting them, so they can be controlled. I don't know how many progressives there are because the studies, there aren't any real studies on it. I'm putting a number of 20% ardent liberals are usually progressive. Jordan Rickard, Toronto, Canada. I enjoyed your analysis of the progressive movement last night.

Once again, you can see that on bill o'Reilly.com. I love when you drop those truth bombs, you and your staff do great work. What is Mark Zuckerberg hoped a game by donating such huge amounts of money to the Democratic Party? He wants progressive power, Zuckerberg. That's what he wants. So he's ready to pony up 400 million like he did in the 2020 election. Claudia on the message board. I'm 90% certain that Zuck Buck.

Punx manipulation that happened in 2020 is being planned again. Maybe funded by the same guy, maybe other progressive billionaires are clamoring to get in on the action. You're right. You're right. But they don't violate any law. The Supreme Court rule that you can donate unlimited amounts of money to political action committees for their purposes. Republicans do the same thing. Ethan, concierge member, we urge you over the Labor Day weekend to check out our concierge program, it is a life insurance policy for you. You get in any kind of trouble, you come to me and I'll try to help you. Simple as that. Ethan is a concierge member. Hey, Bill, I'm wondering why you

purposely ignore the influence of Chris Christie in New Hampshire. He is nearly beating Trump. So I don't believe that Chris Christie has any chance to win the Republican nomination. You'll remember that Pat Buchanan, the pundit at one time won the New Hampshire primary. I don't ignore Chris Christie. I analyzed his performance at the debate. I think he should lighten up and I'm not talking about his weight. He's a little intense out there and he's a little too, I hate Trump. My analysis of him, but I certainly don't ignore him. Jerry Gibbons, Pearl City, Hawaii, the press will never give a Republican fair and honest coverage. Whoever the Republican nominee is, the mainstream media will make that person a villain. It's true.

Absolutely, Jerry. Never, in a million years. With the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, support a Republican. Pat Allen Bach, Tabernacle, New Jersey. Bill, come on now. What is going on with Mitch McConnell? I pray for the man, but it's an insult he continues to serve in the U.S. Senate.

I don't think it's an insult. I think it's selfish. You should resign. Elizabeth Hayes, Newport News, Virginia, I want to go see Oppenheimer. So I read Killing the Rising Sun. Excellent. Now I'll enjoy the movie even more. And now you'll see how the writer and director of the movie, his name escapes me.

A big famous guy, cribbed some of this stuff from Killing the Rising Sun and put it in the movie, particularly in the Los Alamos sections. Billion Rising Sun of my favorite books. Marie, concierge, remember, identify with dropping stuff. I'm 73 years old. So annoying.

Yeah, dexterity. When you get older, Marie, you've got to work it. You got to work it. I got a little ball now that I squeeze. I told you I'm in the water, the ocean, and the pool, stretching. Dexterity goes. The older you get, the more you're kind of,

become less flexible. That's why I did that final thought yesterday. Walter Hooker, Montgomery, Texas. My wife and I, Sue, had been married for 60 years, August 31st, today. 60 years, you know? That's so admirable. So Walter and Sue, Montgomery, Texas. Happy anniversary.

60 years. Wow. Okay. Okay, killing the rising sun. Killing the Witches. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Got to get serious about it. Out September 26th, pre-order on Bill O'Reilly.com,

Amazon, Barnes & Noble, you know the drill. Come at premium or concierge member over the weekend, and I hope you check that out. You get that free. Book is free or any of my other books. Okay, you re-up your membership early. You get a free book. So killing the witches is scary.

Great Halloween book, but it's really three books and one, and once we get into September, I'll be telling you about it. We still have the all-time special for summer reading up until Monday, Crazy Horse Killers and Legends, all together for 3295, and you get a free team normal baseball hat to boot. I mean, that is the greatest deal ever, and I can't keep it going any longer than Monday, okay? And then we have our live show, New York State of Mind, on October 27th to kick off the holiday. Halloween weekend is very scary. It's at the Huntington Paramount Theater. And they just released 70 tickets. Tickets are really almost gone, but 70 Primo seats.

I guess they kicked in a wall someplace. So if you want to go see us live, you'll never forget the show. Great time to come to Long Island. and end of October leaves a churnin. You'll see Teddy Roosevelt's house, lots of good restaurants. They'll have fun. Okay, so I got a final thought. We'll be back in a moment.

Hey, I forgot the word of the day. Do not be picky un. P-I-C-A-U-A-U-N-E. Pick-E-U-N-E. I final thought today, Labor Day on Monday. And as I said in the analysis of what the Republicans have to do, the American worker, and I'm one, I'm in a union, I've been working my butt off since I'm 12 years old, is really the backbone of the country. So nothing gets

done without the workers. But we're underappreciated by the fat cat, high-tech moguls and the people who got the yachts and, you know, the people who have benefited from our labor. Now, there our geniuses up there and their concepts have made a lot of money and that's why they have the yachts and the private planes and i don't begrudge that at all are you successful you have a good time okay now i think you should good money to charity and a lot of them do um but the worker the person in the trenches just like a war the soldiers on the ground and make it happen okay and We're underappreciated here in this country, particularly by the media, which thinks that we're all, what is the Hillary Clinton thing, we're all undesirable or whatever she said, the crazy thing that she said. And Obama going, you know, guns and Bibles, you know, come on.

Our hard work makes this country the greatest nation on earth. So happy Labor Day. Have a great time. We'll see you again on Tuesday.
