Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, April 12, 2003, stand up for your country. So President Biden's getting worse, and it doesn't give me any joy to report that. But there is no question. him yourself, you'll see it, you can see it. But behind the scenes, the White House staff knows he is in steep decline, and he's not going to get any better. He has to be supervised all the time, either by his wife or by staff members flanking him. He just can't wander off because he would wander off. And we've seen that a couple of times on video. He cannot articulate

thoughts without a teleprompter. He has to read. He can read and recite, but he cannot think and verbalize. And that's why he doesn't hold many press conferences. Now, this is a dangerous situation for America and for we the people. He's a leader of the free world, and the free world knows what I just told you that he's in decline. So people like Macron, for example, under Trump never would have gone out as he did last week and said, you know, Taiwan's an American problem. We're not going to, we're not going to get involved with that. That never would have happened had the United States been run by a strong president. But Biden, you know, when they destroy a drone over international waters in the Black Sea and the president of the United States

doesn't say anything to the Russians, not a word. And then, three days later, they decorate the pilots that destroyed the U.S. drone, and you get nothing? That's frightening. All right? So this is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. Presidents in Ireland, as you know, but there's no press access to him. I've never seen this. On every foreign trip, there's a press conference. I mean, what are you doing and who are you talking to? No, not happening here. But maybe one of the reasons it's not. happening is because Hunter Biden accompanied Joe Biden in Ireland. Now, if this isn't an in-your-face to the American public, I don't know what is. Remember, Hunter Biden is under a grand jury

investigation in Delaware and scrutiny in the House of Representatives. So he gets on Air Force One, he goes over with his father, and he enjoys the week-long vacation in Ireland. Well, you would assume that there was a press conference that might come up. It might not because of the docile White House Press Corps, but I think that's a reason. The Press Corps itself is their corporate masters, the people they work for, they root for Biden. Everybody knows that. There's no two sides to this story. Everybody knows that. But the press corps, the individuals themselves, are getting very frustrated and they're taking it out on the white house spokesperson go is the administration trying to protect the president from our questions uh please absolutely not absolutely not

so why is the lack of any interaction in a formal setting to have a press conference uh i mean the president takes shouted questions i i understand john i understand i understand i have dealt with this question about three times already i understand it is it is it is It is the job of you all to ask this question to me. Totally get that. And that's not a problem at all. But certainly the president many times has stood in front of all of you, has taken questions on his own. Because he wanted to see what was all on your minds.

He wanted to see what the questions you all were going to ask him. And he wanted to answer them directly. It's more bolder, dash, word of the day. I mean, he's afraid. The White House is afraid to put him out there because they don't know what he's going to say. And that's what's going on. So yesterday he gave a speech in Belfast. He was an hour late for the speech, an hour.

Now, if you're late for any appointment without a very good reason, that's disrespectful. So if I have a date to meet somebody at a certain time and that person keeps me waiting for an hour, and there's no emergency or anything like that, that's a sign of disrespect to me and to you if it happens to you. Well, an hour late and then Biden finally totters on out there. It's crazy. So let's look at the data, all right? 27 months, Joe Biden's been in office.

He has held 24 press conferences. You see it at the bottom there. Same period of time, Barack Obama. Obama 46, Donald Trump, 51. That's a dramatic difference. And you can make the case that there's more turbulence in the Biden administration with the inflation, the border, the foreign problems, the Ukraine war, and he just will not answer questions about it.

And I've been in this business a long time. I know what's happening. I don't have to guess or speculate. There's no other reason on this earth that Biden does not answer questions other than he cannot answer that. Mentally is not up to it. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.

Larry Cook is a presidential historian based in Dallas, Pennsylvania. author in the book, Symbols of Patriotism, First Ladies and Daughters of the American Revolution. It was out in 2021. It's a good book. And he joins us now. So I want to run, first of all, do you disagree with my assessment of President Biden? I really don't disagree with that, Bill. You know, I think more than what President Biden says, it's what he's not saying. and you know whether it's because he can't or whether because he won't it's because he won't

I see it as more than what he's not saying you know more what he's not saying than what he's saying you know if you have watched the the series West Wing you can see when when the president's out there somebody's out there and the staff members are in the back and afraid that he's going off script and they're they're cringing I think about that every time that I see President Biden on TV at a press conference or a press interview that that's happening in real time. All right, but certainly Donald Trump went off script every second. His staff did cringe, as you rightly point out, but at least he answered what the day the question du jour was, and Obama the same way.

So now we have, what would you, as an American citizen, put aside your historian credentials, what would you want to know from Biden? And what would you ask him if you were sitting where I'm sitting? Well, I would really like to know more about the situations at hand. You know, I think that's what we're all thinking about. What's going on? The economy, Ukraine, China, what would be on the top of your list? I think our national security is on the top of my list anyway,

and I think it is with most Americans, with our problems with China, the collaboration, it seems to be there with Russia. You know, our economy is certainly important, but if we don't have a country, we don't have to worry about the economy. So, you know, he's just really not saying much about any of those things, and that's what I think he needs to be out there saying. To go back to what you said about President Trump,

I think President Trump going off script is more of a strategy, or definitely is a strategy, where it's completely different with President Biden. Okay. Now, one of the reasons that the White House staff doesn't want Biden out there is because there are so many unresolved problems, the border, violent crime, it's just every single day. And 27 months in, Joe Biden has not solved a significant problem in this country. inflation is coming down a little. We'll get to that later on in the broadcast.

But he really hasn't dealt with these serious situations. So you can talk a good game. He doesn't do that. But when it comes right down to it, he is not really a problem solver, in my opinion. Well, you know, in the presidency the way I see it too, even talking a good game is very important because everything a president says, or doesn't say can either calm the American public

or it can cause more worry in the American public. That's a good point. He's got a report in, but he doesn't. The electronic media, television news in particular, really ascended in 1960 with the Nixon-Kennedy debate.

That was the line of demarcation. Before that, Eisenhower and FDR and Truman, they didn't have to deal with TV so much. It was a new thing coming in, and it wasn't a major factor. But 1960 on. So let's run down as a president's. Kennedy, JFK, very good with the media. Would you agree?

I would agree. He had the charisma, which is something that's built in your personality. Plus, you know, that was a new time where he was really the first president to utilize TV. And he, you know, he was protected by the press and by others for various reasons. Yes. He didn't have any worries on that front that somebody would come after him. Linda Johnson, the exact opposite with the Vietnam War, and I didn't think Johnson handled the television media very well. It wasn't very glib, and he came across his stodgy. What did you think? Yeah, you know, I mean, in fairness, LBJ there, too, he was walking in Kennedy's shadow and being a completely different person.

And I think it, I think of the very first part of his presidency, he had, you know, of course, he had the honeymoon phase that a lot of them have. And he had even more of that because of the tragic assassination of Kennedy. But, and he took on the persona of being in charge and carrying on Kennedy's policies. But as things went on and things worsened with the Vietnam War, it got more of a problem with the press for him. And as you imagine, him not being very good in front of the press, you know, picking up. his beagles by the years. It wasn't really a good thing. But it was his speaking style. He was halting more fellow America. It wasn't like a natural. Then we go into Nixon, who had his troubles with the press because he was paranoid, primarily,

thought they were out to get him. And he was right. Many of them were. But he was never comfortable on television and came across that way. Yeah, absolutely. And the one thing that I want to add to that is, that a lot of people will compare President Trump's style with the press with Nixon. And I totally disagree with that. With Nixon, it was more of a revenge type thing. As you mentioned, he was very suspicious

and paranoid about the press. Where with President Trump, it's unprecedented, like most things Trump are, where he's right out there with it, and he uses it as a strategy, his contempt for the press. So I think it's very different between him and Richard Nixon. Trump is a performer also. He's performed on television and great.

Now, Jimmy Carter locally was good with the television media as governor of Georgia. But when he got into the White House, I never saw him as very comfortable there. Obviously, his administration didn't go fairly well. You know Carter. He had worked with the Carter Foundation, I believe, in planes. How do you assess him? Well, I think that's a fair assessment. of what you said, I think in the beginning, he was a Washington outsider. I think in the

beginning, the press didn't really really know how to handle him. He was different than what they were used to. He did use the press effectively to convey truth, honesty to the American people and to set an example for the American people like wearing a sweater and bringing back the fireside chats. So I think he utilized the press effectively, at least in the first two years of his presidency. Okay. And then we went to Ronald Reagan, a trained actor, somebody who knew how to use the media. But if you read my book, Killing Reagan, Reagan's staff was not comfortable letting the media at him. I mean, it all had to be controlled. And he was very rehearsed, Ronald Reagan. Delivered it great. But he wasn't like spontaneous.

Yeah, you know, I agree with that to a point. I mean, I think he was a great communicator. He did use his acting skills. And he was, the one thing that he had was some of that charisma we were talking about before. And his ability to, you know, to make light of something or to to come back with a witty comment was, I think, really a strong point for Ronald Reagan. Yeah, it was. And they were genuine Irish wit. And then we have Bush the Elder was never comfortable on television, and that heard him a lot when he ran against Bill Clinton. Yeah, I agree. You know, I think during his presidency, the way I see it, is that Bush the Elder had a comfortable, or I shouldn't say comfortable, but

a respectful relationship with the press. I think he had got respect from the press, and I think he gave them respect. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't contentious till the end when most of the press wanted Clinton to win. And Clinton was very good and glib with the media, I thought. Yeah, he was. And again, in the first part of his presidency, it was better.

The second term, the scandals coming up, it got a little more contentious. I think on both sides with all the scandals being involved. And that's the way it is, I think, with a lot of the presidencies that it may be a little better in the beginning than it is later on. It is a brief honeymoon. Not anymore, but it used to be. Now, Bush and Younger was never comfortable with the media. I interviewed him a number of times.

It was good with me, but he wasn't relaxed, I can tell you that. Clinton was much more relaxed, Trump, much more relaxed, Obama. much more or less with me and i i'm a pretty tough guy when i go in there for these interviews um but uh bush the younger it was never relaxed he wasn't dishonest uh he did dodge a few times particularly when i asked him about the media attacking him um but he i didn't get the feeling that he embraced the television media yeah i i agree with that assessment there uh you know a little bit like Reagan, he had the ability to kind of, you know, laugh at himself if he made a little gaffe or giving people nicknames, that type of thing, made it a little, you know, a little more

personal. He came in at a time, too, when I think there was really a ramp up of a left media bias coming along. I think that that's when we first started really seeing that. 9-11 shattered everything. And then he got a honeymoon piece. period after 9-11, but then when the Iraq war went south, he really took it. And then Obama was very, very good with the media. I thought he was, you know, I interviewed him three times, and I covered him in New Hampshire in the primary, and I watched him, and he was, I wouldn't say he's the best of all the presidents that I've covered with the media.

He was very good, but he didn't like to do it. Well, I, you know, I agree. I think he's up there as one of the best. He seemed comfortable. He, again, I keep bringing up the personality, the charisma thing. But if you have it, it certainly helps you out a lot. And like JFK, like Clinton, Obama has the charisma. He can get up there and you like listening to him. Yep. And then we have Trump, of course, who, as you rightly pointed out, use the media, still does to his benefit and then Biden who just is can't handle it at all we appreciate it Larry thank you very much for helping us out today I'm going to tell a quick story about Barack Obama now when I first met up with him it was in 2008 he was in New Hampshire for the

first primary and I was standing there and he knew him and his staff that I was waiting for him to get down the receiving line. And he had a body man, a big guy, about six foot five. And he's coming down the line, and I wanted to get a couple of questions with him. So the guy stands in front of my camera, a Fox News camera, up in New Hampshire. And I said, excuse me, sir, you're blocking our shot. You need to move, and he wouldn't move. Effectively, we couldn't get a picture of candidate Obama. So I moved him, physically moved him. You can Google it, whatever. But he went flying across the room. And I didn't hit him. I just moved him. And Obama saw his body man and didn't miss a beat. And he came down, now I got a clear shot at him, and I'm 6'4. He's about, you know, 5'11.

And I go, Senator, I have a few questions. And he goes, he wheels around. He goes, Bill, it's so good to see you, which, of course. And I'm looking at him. And he goes, look, I got to do this other thing. I said, you have to answer some of my questions. I mean, he goes, I'll give you a full interview. I promise.

This is all on camera. After his body man is sitting over there on his stage. And I said, okay, Senator. What else was I going to say? All right? And he walks off the stage. He did fulfill that promise, by the way. But he did it right in the middle of the Republican Convention or in Minneapolis where I was covering that.

And then I had a flawed at York, Pennsylvania because he said, okay, I'm ready to do the interview now. He wanted me out of the Republican Convention. That is a classic O'Reilly story. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune 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. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every

day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, let's go to Ukraine where there are American troops. now there. Don't panic. This is not unusual, but this came out on the leak, the U.S. intel leak on the Internet. So as far as we can tell, there are 14 special forces helping the Marines at the American embassy in Kiev. So the Marines guard all the embassies all around the world. In Ukraine, we have 14 special forces complementing the Marines. All right, the UK has more. They have 50, and I'm sure they're SAS guys, strategic air services, which is their special force.

And they're there, and a number of others have fewer. I am not worried about this. All right, they are defending our property pretty much. but I had the report exactly what we know. Let's go back to the United States. Walmart closing four Chicago stores very unusual. Walmart is a discount or you know that. All right, and most of its stores are fabulously profitable

because folks go there and it's like Costco and Sam's Club and you get better bargains. Well, they're closing four big stores. in Chicago, they say it's because they can't make money, but they don't, they're not telling the truth. They're closing these doors because of the shoplifting, which is massive in Chicago, okay, and because the Chicago, the Cook County, District Attorney won't prosecute. So the drug addicts go in, they steal whatever they want, they walk out, and the big trunk stores, they could hire security and the security could hold them for the police and the police could book them

but then they're right out there's nothing going to happen to them so that doesn't inhibit shoplifting so in chicago i asked my staff to run down the last two years that we have full stats 21 22 this is a city of 2.7 million in chicago 1500 murders 6400 shooting incidents 4,100 criminal sexual assaults, almost 17,000 robberies, 12,000-plus aggravated assault, 14,000 burglaries, 33,000 theft, that's mugging, motor vehicle theft, 32,000. This is an unbelievable crime plague in the windy city. So, what does the Democratic Party decide to do? Remember, Democrats control Chicago, top to bottom.

Democrats are going to have their national convention there. This is insane. Okay, but they're so arrogant. The Democratic Party is so arrogant. They go, we don't care if violence is out of control. We're going to Chicago, and we're going to tell everybody's great. and we're doing a great job that's what we're going to do so um the convention is august 19th to 22 um and it will be in uh the nation's third largest city and the republicans are going to be in

Milwaukee in august okay there are conventions in Milwaukee and um you know it's coming up fast absolutely coming up fast and now fox has announced it's going to hold the first primary debate. No date yet, but it's going to be in August, August, busy political month. Okay, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that's going to be where the debate is because that is where the Republican Convention is. All right. So there are four candidates on the GOP side now. You got Trump, you got Nikki Haley, you got Vivek, Ranaswamy, and former Arkansas or Governor Asa Hutchinson. So that is the campaign.

It's amazing it is coming up so fast. All right, tomorrow starts the media trial of the century in Delaware. So Fox News, as you know, is being sued by the Dominion Voting Systems Company for $1.6 billion with a B dollars because there were reports. on Fox News Channel that said Dominion cooked the election for Biden. It's primarily it. And, of course, that turned out not to be true. So Dominion is suing for defamation. We're also suing Newsmax and

O-A-N, okay, to conservative networks, television networks. Now, insurance covers some of the costs of this. And I estimate just attorney fees alone. and court fees are going to cost the Fox News Channel about $70 million. I mean, you get into civil litigation. It's crazy, expensive. So insurance will cover some of that. But if they lose the judgment, if the jury says, yes, you defamed, okay, then not only will the 1.6, it could be awarded, but punitive damages on top of that.

Now, this is a big, big deal. There will be no cameras in the courtroom, which is a break for Fox. Because you put those prime time people up there and Rupert Murdoch and his son and his television, that's not good for that. But there's a downside because now all the reportage we get out of there, the Delaware courtroom, will be hate Fox report. Do the corporate media wants Fox to lose? And since there isn't any live cameras,

someone's going to have to report, and all of them hate Fox. All of them, 100%. I'm not down there, so I can't report. I have to figure out, and I have very good contact, so I will. And if you keep it here, I'll tell you what's going on. Now, the key to this is very, very simple. This is very, very simple. The First Amendment allows fallacious opinions.

I mean, you can go on television. If you're a pundant or a regular civilian, give an opinion, and it could be wrong, and you cannot be punished for that under the First Amendment. So what I always do, if I'm in an accusatory situation or somebody's accusing, I always bring the other side in, which is why I wasn't sued in 20 years plus at the Fox News show. I always had, this side, that side. The second thing is you, the American citizen, are entitled to whatever opinion you want. So if you want to think that the 2020 election was a fraud, was rigged, and Dominion participated in that fraud, you have a right to hold that opinion. You have a right to hold that

opinion. The facts don't back it up, but you have a right to hold it. Here is the rub. And that's what Fox is going to argue. We have a right under the First Amendment to put forth opinions. But remember these words, and I'm going to write a column on this on Sunday. Reckless disregard for the truth. Five words. Reckless disregard for the truth. That's what Dominion is charging. charging. That Fox News knew these attacks against Dominion were false, and they put them on anyway. And they didn't balance them out. A jury now, regular folks, not scholars, not First Amendment experts. They're going to hear that. And they're going to see it because there will be clips played and then the people will have to testify all the prime time hosts will be paraded in you said

this you didn't balance it you did this you did that so if the jury finds there was reckless disregard for the truth that's defamation dominion wins now we will cover this i'm not covering it on a daily basis because i don't have access and i'm not taking the Associated Press's word for it, or the New York Times or CNN. I mean, that's ridiculous. So I will follow it, and I will use my sources to find out what the truth is, and I will report it to you. But I'm not going to, you know, every micro thing. But I'll report consistently on this. Says the trial is going to last five weeks, it won't. Okay, maybe three weeks. It's a long time. So that starts today. All right. So jury section selection starts

today. Testimony starts on Monday. North Dakota governor, Doug Bergam, signs a law saying that trans men, men wanting to be women and are transitioning to that, cannot compete against women, gender-based women, in high school or college sports. That is a law now in North Dakota. There hasn't been any cases, but North Dakota's conservative state got out in front of it. Now, we gave it yesterday we told you about Bud Light, Anheiser Bush. They have a trans spokesperson now, okay, and there are a lot of people who don't like that. some are boycotting Anheuser-Bush. Now, Wayne Allen Rood, a conservative commentator, has written a book called The Great Patriot Bicot Book,

the great conservative companies to buy from and invest in. All right, that's Wayne Allen Rute. He has one of the great conservative companies in the book, Anheuser-Busch. Well, now, now, Now, so I call them because I know Wayne, and he, you know, you're a good guy. I said, hey, Wayne, you know, what's this? Here's a statement.

Budweiser, the formerly conservative company, sells beer mostly conservative of macho men, shows a transgender person as a spokesman. Butweiser has lost their mind. They offended their core base of customers, asylum majority, to post a woke mob, to please a woke mob that makes up a tiny percentage of their customers, unquote. So sometimes you get caught up. and the company was one way at this juncture in history, and now it's another way. But, you know, there's a lot of articles about how Annalism Bush is suffering.

I'm not sure it's true. We'll see the stock price and when they report the next sales, and I'll know. 58% of Americans, according to CNBC, which is a pretty straight financial network. Living Paycheck to Paycheck, this is based on a study of 4,336. adults. Here are the findings, 70% of us stress about personal finance, 58% consider themselves living paycheck to paycheck. 36% say $100,000 would not, would make them, would yes, would make them financially comfortable. 53% do not have any emergency funds at all, 44% have credit card debt. So if you live in paycheck to paycheck, that is a very precarious place to

You know that, and this has risen in the 27 months that Joe Biden has been president. The number that came out yesterday is the average American home has lost $3,700, $3,700. They're poorer now than they were under Trump. Inflation is cooling a little bit. This is good. Eggs are down. The price of eggs are down. down. And that's because people stop buying them. You don't buy them, then the price comes down. But inflation in March rose on an annual basis of 5%. Okay, let's hope that continues.

Again, I want the economy to be strong. I don't factor in how it affects Biden or Trump or any of that policy because I want you to have some relief. 22,000, sorry, 2.5 million people, a lot of stats today, have fled America's big cities from 2020 to 22. This is a record, people fleeing the big cities because of the taxes and the crime primarily. And now they can work remote, so they don't have to go there, so they're going, hey, hey, hey, goodbye.

If you want to know everything that happened, read my book, Killing the Rising Sun. And it was in there because FDR, obviously, was Commander-in-Chief when we fought Japan,

and then Harry Truman took over at the end of that war. Now, Roosevelt was not faithful to his wife, and this was a tremendous embarrassment that he would die as his mistress, and as we chronicle in killing the rising sun, press covered it up, didn't mention it, never got out. Roosevelt was a great president, despite his, you know, I don't think I would have liked to hang around with FDR. Teddy, all day long, not FDR, snobby, elitist, you know, thought he could do whatever he wanted to do

with no consequences. But Depression, World War II, he performed. He did perform. So his death was 78 years ago today. Got a good mail segment and a final thought about what you should do when people are disrespectful to you. Right back. I let's go to the mail. Brian, I do believe that President Biden will be the Democratic nominee.

So far he's been perfect for the far left. They're in control of the White House. He does what they tell him to do and never apologizes. It's true. The far left doesn't care if he's diminished or not because he is. he is in their pocket. No doubt about it. Georgia Luna, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.

I totally disagree with you, Bill, saying the expulsion in Tennessee was an overreaction, the reason we have nonstop attacks on our institution's lack of consequences. All right, I respect your disagreement, but as I said yesterday, you get the same bang for the buck if you censure the three people who disrupted the Tennessee legislature rather than throwing them out.

If you throw them out, it gives the other side, the radical left, a cannon to come back and shoot you. If you censure and say you do it again, then you're out, you hold the high moral ground. That was my assessment. Joyce, I thought the Saturday Night Live, Trump impressionation was spot on. They weren't trying to disrespect. They were trying to be funny. some people objected to Jesus and Trump being mocked you know those people are always going to object it was tremendous satire Kathleen concierge member she gets direct access to me can someone please

explain what the Tennessee legislatures did yes Kathleen they went on to the floor with bullhorns and disrupted all of the proceedings and that is against the rules of the Tennessee legislature. Melissa P. Wichita Falls, Texas. I see Trump poll numbers all over the place. You've featured some of them, Bill. Can you give me your opinion on polling at this time?

It doesn't mean anything. I only use it to put stuff in context. It's important that Trump is pulled ahead of DeSantis because that, you know, that's an interesting thing. But right now, polling numbers, June, they'll start to matter. Sharon Goodberry, Palis Verdez, California, contrary to what your guest says about boycotts being short-lived. I still don't shop at Nordstrom because of their pulling Ivanka Trump's merchandise. You know, look, that's what I'm trying to get.

You, the American consumer, make your decision. There are things I won't do, and for a long time. You're absolutely right. Janet Skittorow I know Janet name in town you got to put your town I'll give it I'm going to pass because you say nice things about I'm 82 years old a Catholic from Levitown

Holy Family Parish there you go my hometown my husband and I watch killing Jesus the movie Friday evening and I wanted to watch it again on Saturday it was so realistic yes it was okay so So interested in Jesus, that's the one to do. Richard Grifford, St. Louis, Missouri, Bill, about some team normal pet wear.

I'm sure Holly is feeling left out. Holly is the team normal mascot. Not left out, but I'm not going to do pet wear. I got great shirts, I got hats, I got mugs, team normal, sweep in the country, you want to get this stuff. It will entertain anyone you meet. It's not political. Team normal people, just admire their country and think it's noble. Yes, we're on a downside, but we'll come back up.

All right, word of the day, do not be feckless. F-E-C-K-L-E-S, back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, here is the final thought of the day. So I gave a commentary the other day, which says, that if you are disparaged on purpose you don't forget it but I didn't say how to deal with it so if someone's disrespectful to you what do you do you punch them and wind up in court hurting yourself do you scream obscenities at them as so many people do no first of all if somebody is disrespecting you and

doesn't matter who they are where they are you tell them that you say that's pretty disrespectful to me you're disparaging me and i don't i don't like it then you step back no matter what how they react some of them might say they're sorry few but you don't say anything more but you go back and you think about it but you don't let it go it's not revenge you're looking for it's retribution so if somebody is going to disrespect you Well, you know, you don't have to take that, but you have to do it in a very methodical, well-thought-out way. Because if you react in the moment with emotion, then you're going to get hurt. 100% you're going to get hurt.

State your case, okay? And if it's ridicule, if they're ridiculing you, then you leave. Then you think about it. There are always ways to write that wrong, but you've got to think about it and ask some people that you respect. Final thought. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you again tomorrow.
