Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, December 50,000, 23, stand up for your country. You know what really annoys me? I know I'm annoyed all the time. I get it. Joe Biden doesn't work. The president of the United States does not work. I'm sorry, I give you his schedule every day, and I have come to the point where this man does not work.

Everything is done for him, and he's running around now every day collecting money for the Democrats in 2024. Not since Warren Harding, and trust me on this, not since President Harding, have we had a lazy, president than Joe Biden. Okay? Now, Dwight Eisenhower wasn't exactly the energizer bunny in there in the 1950s, but he was far better on the job than Biden. Now, that is the truth. If you don't believe it, you don't want to believe it. I can back it up 50 different ways, okay? But it annoys me because we have so many problems in this country and they're not being addressed. They're not being addressed at all.

And he's the leader. Oh, it just drives me crazy. And now, Joe Biden is caught in a trap as Elvis Presley once sang. That is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So, as you know, The progressive base that is the heart of Joe Biden's support in America

despises Israel, always has. They believe Israel is a fascist country. The progressives hate the country of Israel. Here is the leader of the progressive party. Go. I do not believe we should be appropriating over 10, billion dollars for the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government to continue its current military approach. What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral. It is in violation of international

law, and the United States should not be complicit in those actions. Now, that's absurd, insane, but that is the leader of the progressive movement in America, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. And he is a big Biden supporter. So, if I'm interviewing Sanders, I go, well, you don't want Israel to destroy Hamas? Is that what you're telling me, Senator? You don't want Israel to destroy that terror group. The group that went in and killed innocent civilians, raped Jewish women, killed babies. You don't want Israel to do that?

And then he gives you some gobbly gook about international. Okay? But the truth is that Sanders doesn't want him to do it. Doesn't want Israel to destroy Hamas. Does he? No. So that's the progressive side. That's what you see on the college campuses.

That's what you see in New York City where all these people are out there. Now, they call it anti-Semitic. Some of the progressives are anti-Semites. Bernie Sanders is a Jewish person by blood. But I don't think he's anti-Semitic. He just hates Israel. There's a fine line there. Okay? So Biden is beholden to those people. On the other side of the equation, Biden's

operation, his money, his organization, are primarily Jewish Americans who support Israel, some of them. All right. So this weekend, Biden's going to L.A. Big dog and pony show. All right, big fundraiser. You can give the Biden re-election political action committee almost a million dollars. That's the ceiling. You can't give the money to Biden himself. You can give it to the political action committee. Now, it's going to be a big soire Friday night at the home of interior designer Michael Smith and his boyfriend James Costos, okay? So the people who are going to be there form the core of Biden's financial support. Here they are. Jeffrey Katzenberg, okay, Stephen Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Rob Ryan.

David Geffin, Barbara Streisand, Jason Alexander. They're all Jewish. Okay? So another guy, Reed Hastings, we haven't found out. He's of Austrian-Jewish descent. He's a Netflix guy, fabulously wealthy. Now, I don't know if all of them support Israel, but most of them do. They don't want Hamas.

to go unpunished. So here you have that crew, that's the money Biden crew, and Katzenberg is running his reelection campaign. Can you imagine a Hollywood mogul running election? That's what's happening. And then the Sanders crew that hates Israel. And there's Joe in the middle. That's why he's so wishy-washy. That's why he's, well, yeah, oh, is he, just vent him so we usually send a money, but you don't want to do this. Don't do that. Don't do this. Don't do that. Meddling. Now Netanyahu, if he would tell the truth, and he can't because he needs American money, when he throw Sanders, right? Sanders, yeah, but Biden right at the window. Because it's not go get him. That's not what's happening. So there's, this is a fascinating political

equation here. And you'll hear this nowhere else but on the no spin news. You're not going to hear this anywhere else. Now, after I do it and say it, then you'll hear it. But it's fascinating. And that's a memo. 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.

Not doing his job as president, raise the money. He's got a big swaree tonight. James Taylor, does Schubert theater in Boston, know it well? All the Boston fat cats are up there giving him dough. Okay? And then he goes back down a night. So a whole day does nothing. People do at the White House.

I'll say run the show, but I didn't have anything to do with it day to day anymore. So, boy, does this annoy me. Tickets, by the way, if you want to, it's too late now. But if you went to the Schubert top seat, $7,500, the best seats are going for. Just an aside, when I did the history tour with Donald Trump, which wasn't associated with any political thing at all. It was a private commercial show. You know what the top seat was? $17,500.

And they sold out first. Just an aside. Okay, next week in the House, there is a possible impeachment inquiry vote. Inquiry is the key word. It's not a vote on impeachment. It's a vote to investigate going forward on impeachment in order to bring more power to the House committee's assembling information about Hunter and Joe and Jim Biden. That's what this is all about.

And it will take every Republican, nearly everyone in the House, to vote for it, as newt gingrich explained go if you're a republican do you really want to guarantee a primary opponent uh by voting against it looking at it this doesn't impeach him this simply gives congress additional power to force the white house to reveal documents and to force people to come and testify okay so i'm in the house i vote for this i vote for the impeachment inquiry all right i would i'd vote for it if i'd vote for it if i I were a Democrat in the House, but no Democrat will. Because if you did, you'd be shunned from the party. Nobody would ever talk to you again. Republican is not quite as tight. You might get a

couple of people, all right, that vote against it. I don't know. Now, if it were a straight impeachment vote, I would not vote for impeaching Joe Biden at this point. There's not enough. there's a lot there is a lot we keep in mind the Senate will never convict him ever so at this point

why bother with impeachment if it's going to lose and there isn't enough to convince the country and mass that Biden benefited from his son and brother's grifting but there could be that's what the investigation in the House is all

out because the Justice Department and the FBI will not do it. Keep that in mind. The House shouldn't be having to do this. It should be the FBI. No, they're not going to do it. Okay. I'm laughing, but I'm crying on the inside. Now, the media, which has still has influence, not as much as it did, but still has it. Their full 100% cover for Biden, with the exception of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Okay, those, and they're both owned by Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, okay? Every other media, corporate media,

is covering for Biden. Roll it. A recent NBC News poll showed 60% of voters have major or moderate concerns about Biden's possible awareness or involvement in the business dealings of his son. Despite the fact that even Republican members of Congress admit there is no evidence to suggest

the president did anything wrong. Republicans have spent months digging, including through Biden family bank records, and still no credible evidence of corruption or even really wrongdoing by Joe Biden. Yeah, there still is not the evidence. There are plenty of questions that Republicans have put forward, but no evidence and really not even clarity on what the charge they would be focused on here. Well, all three of those people, with all due respect, are not telling you the truth. There's plenty of evidence.

It's not beyond a reasonable doubt evidence, but there's evidence all over the place. You know, the big headline of right wing media today was, well, Hunter Biden wrote his father checks to cover a loan or whatever, and it's not enough, which is not enough, but there's evidence there. Certainly evidence that as vice president, Joe Biden enabled his son to go all over the world and grift money. There's evidence. So those people are just not telling you the truth. You know that, I'm sure. So the problem then becomes you've got 100% of the Democratic Party not caring and not going to ever do anything about Joe Biden, whatever he did. Okay? Not going to happen. And you had the media at the tune of 90% that are going to cover for Biden.

as well. So it looks like he might get away with it because of the corruption of the media, which should be covering this story the way they covered Trump and Nixon. Bordergate, right? No. Joining us now in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is journalist Isaac Saul. He is the founder of Tangle News. So I get lots of mail saying, where do I go, you know, outside of my own operation, and I go to the Wall Street Journal, but we have recently taken on Tangle, semaphore, we're looking at them, all right, these are independent agencies like mine, and they deliver good information, and Mr. Saul is the head of that. So I read somewhere where you're going to Transylvania University in Kentucky,

and that's a real college, I actually know it, and I can't believe you would enroll there, because then you'd have to wear a black cape and all that. But anyway, you're going there to discuss why the profession of journalism has sunk so low in the Court of Public Opinion, correct? Yeah, I mean, if you look at any of the recent polling we have about how people feel about the media, you'll see pretty unbelievably bad numbers. I think a recent Gallup poll showed about 16% of Americans said they had a great deal trust in television news and the numbers even lower for newspapers now, pretty much the only

thing that polls worse than the media these days is Congress, which is loath by pretty much everybody currently. So it is not a good time to be a reporter, at least in the sense that it's, you know, it's really hard to earn people's trust. And I think a lot of that is the media's own fault. I think we've done it to ourselves in a lot of ways. And it doesn't surprise me at all that that's the current state of things. Well, how did it happen, though? I mean, what do you think? There was a time when I was in grad school at Boston U,

getting a broadcast journalism master's degree, which the media was trusted. They were involved with the Watergate at that point. They had aggressively covered the Vietnam War, and they were, you know, credible. That's the word, Kronkite, chancellor, all those people. So what happened? Yeah. So I talk about three main issues, which is transparency, hiring, and a general balance that we see in the media. So in terms of transparency, you know, the biggest issue for me is that most news organizations are not transparent about how the mistakes they make happen. So when the New York Times gets a story wrong, like the bombing of a hospital in Gaza, they might issue a correction. But,

We're not totally clear on how that mistake actually happened, why it happened, which leaves a lot of room for suspicion. We saw this, you know, during the Trump era, a lot of mistakes tended to go the wrong way, at least against Trump. So if you were somebody reading a lot of mainstream media, anytime you saw a major error, it was typically the kind of error that made Trump look worse than what the actual correction ended up looking like. And we didn't often get explanations about that. So that's one. And two is hiring, which is just that, you know, most news organizations are dominated by people with moderate center or left of center politics. There are very few conservatives or Republicans who are working in the industry.

That's not some conspiracy theory. There's polls of journalists and media outfits all across the country all the time, and they always show the same results, which is that a vast majority of people who work in the profession of journalism are people with center or left of center politics. And there are very few people on the right side of the political spectrum, which impacts the coverage that you see. And that brings me to balance, which is just, you know, if you read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal covering the exact same event, you'll see them cover it in drastically different ways, which is a problem for both media outlets. Their coverage with, you know, presumably some of the best reporters in the world should be a lot more similar, but it's not. And that is just a reflection of the fact that a lot of media organizations are using their reporting to sort of espouse a worldview rather than tell honestly what's happening.

How badly did the voting machine fiasco hurt Fox News? I think it hurt them a lot. I mean, that's actually, it's funny you mention that because that's one of the examples I use in my talk, which is that, you know, for Fox News, they were in a position where they were featured. their viewers what they wanted to hear, which is a really dangerous place to be as a news organization. You know, I know your politics, Bill, and I'm listening to you at the top, tell your audience that, hey, there's some evidence that Biden needs to be investigated, but there isn't smoking gun evidence that he should be impeached. And I think that's the right thing to tell your viewers. But a lot of conservative columnists are telling their audience that

the evidence is smoking gun and Biden should be impeached. And that's the wrong thing to tell your audience because it's not there. It's just trying to tell them what they want to hear to make sure that they like you and keep them happy. And Fox News is trying to tell its audience what they wanted to hear. Yeah. That's what they're all doing now because that's what it comes down to money. They can make money preaching to the choir. And if you look, I just give you a really good example. And you may run into this as a young journalist. So when the election happened 2000, 2000, 2020, I can't lose the track of it.

When it happened, about 10 days, two weeks after, I told my audience that there wasn't enough evidence to present to the federal judges because I was watching Supreme Court Justice Alito who had sway over Pennsylvania. And I was watching what was going to be submitted to Alito

who was sympathetic to this. He was sympathetic. that there might have been fraud in Pennsylvania, all right? Well, the Trump people didn't submit anything to him at all. And I said, you know what, at this point, you got to just go with what the election returns are because you don't have any hard evidence, you know, individuals running around saying that's one thing, but you got to present it to the court of law. I must have lost a thousand premium members to Bill O'Reilly.com by saying,

that, all right? Then we're an independent as you are, at Tangle. We're independent here. We, we depend on our viewers and listeners on the radio to support us and our sponsors. When you lose a thousand in two days, but I had to do it because that's me. If I had been in that chair at Fox News at 8 o'clock with the O'Reilly Factor, none of that would have happened. none of it would have happened because i would have come out boom i would have put britt hume on because he was of like mind and i would have just wiped it out but i'm not there anymore so fox news i don't know if it's ever going to recover uh it's it's trust image among just regular folks the the staunch conservatives that's where they go still but not to the numbers that they did

All right. Last question for you. As an independent kind of guy, and the website is reetangle.com, very easy. Retangle.com. Do you believe that Americans really want to know the truth, Isaac? Or are they just comfortable in their ideological slot? They just want to hear what they believe. What do you believe? I'll tell you what. When I started this, I did not believe that America. wanted to always hear the truth even when it was hard for them. My instinct was that would be really hard to build a media company like this that shared views from across the political spectrum. But as I've gone on building Tangle out, I'm starting to see that there are a ton of Americans who want that because even if people disagree with the other side of their own political positions, they want to understand them. And more than that, I think a lot of Americans are just exhausted. They're tired of the really nonstop stream of extremism on both sides of the media and

both sides of the political spectrum. And they're interested in more nuanced. They're interested in a better understanding of their neighbors. And I personally do feel like we have hit rock bottom in terms of how much people want to be in their own bubbles. So on that note, I am definitely optimistic. And I've seen it firsthand. I mean, we're a young media organization, but we've got 80,000 people on our mailing list. We've got a podcast, a YouTube. channel. We have a huge audience that comes in every month to view our content, hundreds of thousands of people. And that to me is a signal that we're doing something. There's a really big appetite for in the country right now. Well, keep it up. Retangle.com. Thank you, Isaac.

Really appreciate it. Okay. Let's go to your money. I'm going to give you four or five segments in a row here, and they're all very important for you. All right. So we leave in a politics aside, we're going to you. All right, consumer spending USA broke a record in October. Okay? Where do you hear this? Consumers spent $2 trillion just in October in America. This is according to Wallet Hub, and they did the research on it. Now, what that means is we, the people, are keeping this country out of a recession because we're spending, continuing to spend an enormous amount of money. Many of us don't have that money. Keep that in mind. We're spending on credit, which is never a good thing. But consumers spent 81% of all take-home pay

in October. That means they only had 19% left over for emergencies, for savings, for investments. Getting up there. Okay. Because consumers continue to spend so much,

about 4%, a little less, 3% of retired Americans have to take money out of their IRAs and other 401ks. their retirement funds, okay, not only them, but younger people who are investing in retirement funds take the money out. They can't pay their bills. The insurance bill is killing everybody.

I'm getting letters every day, okay. You do have in every state, all 50 states, an insurance commission in your state. You should know what that is because these insurance companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise with the NFL and all of us. How many state farm commercials are going to see? Okay. They're doubling premiums for no reason. That's got to get under control. Okay, you have to have insurance on your home and your car.

That is way out of whack. And that happened on the bike. Okay. So we are not in a good place, but if we cut back on our spending, than the odds of a recession go up. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

All right? I don't know. I need a percentage. I'll try to get it tomorrow on how many Americans hold. stocks and mutual funds or whatever. I don't have it off the top of my head. Now, this summer were really rough for stocks. Very, very tough. Okay? On May 5th of this year, of, no, I'm sorry, of 22, went back to 20, that far back, because I knew Biden was going to be bad for the stock market because he's just so weak, all right? Here's what I said, May 5th, 2022.

Go. Now, the reason a stock market is up and down and in and out, and again, don't panic. Hold on. I have a two-year time frame in a stock market right now, so I'm willing to just sit on losses for two years. Because I think by that time, I'll be in a much stronger position with the stocks that I hold in the mutual funds that I hold. Okay, so I'm not quite at the two-year mark. I'm at the 18 months. month mark now, and the stocks have come back. So this fall, there's been a 9% gain in November alone, 9% gain, best showing in the market since July 22. Up and down, up and down. Hold on. Don't panic. Once Biden gets out of there, okay, things will stabilize them. I hope. They'll never stabilize under him. That brings us to gold. We have gold. We have gold.

sponsors here, you know that, American Hartford Gold Group, been a sponsor of us for years. Now, gold has hit its highest mark ever, okay, in the overseas trading on Monday, and it's up 14% this year. Gold. Okay, now, when I do these advertisers, I don't tout it. I don't tell you to buy it. you that this company is reputable. That's what I tell you. And we watch the company, but I don't say, go in, go out. Let me just say this on gold and silver and commodities in general. Goes up, goes down. And that's always the way it's been. So when you are making your investment decisions, you have to understand that. So when it's up, you think about How much do I have? How much do I need? That kind of thing. But gold, because of Biden's weakness and Ukraine and Israel and all of this, flying.

Okay. Moody's. That is the big investment rating agency. Cut China. Told you when she came over here last month, China is in trouble economically, which is great for us. because they can't cause a lot of trouble when their economy is sinking. You'd have to be out of your blank and mind to invest in China at this point. Okay, you'd have to be crazy, both patriotically and financially. But Moody's cut them, and China is not doing well. The cities that are most expensive to live in in the world, put them up. Let's go. Singapore is the top city, the most expensive city in the world because they have to import everything.

It's an island nation, very safe, very, very expensive. Number two, Zurich, Switzerland's always been expensive, nothing you can do. If you go there, you're going to pay a lot of money. Geneva, both Zurich and Geneva, financial centers, very wealthy people live there. New York City, tied with Geneva for third. extraordinarily expensive in New York, Hong Kong, even though it's communist now, very expensive. L.A., that's housing prices. You want to live in L.A., you've got to fork over so much money for a dwelling. Paris has always been expensive. Copenhagen, I was surprised. Copenhagen is not

known for being an expensive town, but it's in Tel Aviv, Israel, again, you've got to import everything into Tel Aviv. It's very hard to get stuff in there, and then San Francisco, which is absolutely falling apart, but the real estate is still high there. It won't be high much longer. There they are. Now, in San Francisco, there's finally been a crackdown on people still in cars. It's the car theft capital of the world, San Francisco. So they flooded the zone. And San Francisco, between September 1st and November 26th this fall, logged about 3,400 car break-ins that is down from 6,700 in the same period of 22. So they're actually prosecuting people who break into cars.

Finally, but they take 10 years. You see what law enforcement does? You prosecute the criminals. They won't commit as many crimes. Hello. Good. Man. Oh, by the way, the homeless people that were shuntered out of there when she came over,

the Chinese dictator, they're back. According to Kran for the television station out there, they're all back. They all came back and they're gone, now they're back. There's nothing in the world that can make me live in San Francisco. All right, this is a terrible story. Boston woman just married, goes to the Bahamas, the island of New Providence, and paddleboards, about almost a mile offshore, which is not advisable in the old. ocean anywhere shark kills her okay we don't know her name yet it's American from

Boston as they said I spent a lot of time in the ocean a lot and there are rules for the road so they say I'm not going out a mile and I'm not going out there if I if I dive I'm with a bunch of people even snorkeling I'm with people one time I didn't do that, I went out by myself, I got in trouble. Got a rip, got out of it because I'm a strong swimmer, but man, that ocean. Now, in the Bahamas, since 1580, this is a little bit of hype here, the government says it's been 33 unprovoked shark attacks. The word unprovoked is another thing of it. 33 and all that time. Around the world, in 22 last stats available, 57 shark attacks, 5 fatal. Australia and South Africa are the most dangerous places. Florida got those bull sharks

nipping you down here. You got to watch it. But you got more of a chance when you're hiking you get bitten by a snake than you do get attacked by the shark. But I feel so sorry for this woman. All right, just say in history, December 5th, 1901, Walt Disney born. Okay. He was born in Chicago. Then his family moved to Missouri to a farm, and Walt was always very talented animator. He could draw. Then he moved to Hollywood with his brother, Roy, and they wanted to be cartoonists, essentially. And then they got into the movie business, which was, you know, 122 years ago, was just starting. That's when Roy, Walt was born.

But he got out to Hollywood. And in 1937, okay, they put out their first movie, roll the tape. Oh, dear. I wonder if the children are. Oh! What? You're a little mim! How do you do?

I said, how do you do what? Oh, you can, Doc. I'm so glad. Now don't tell me who you are. Let me give. I know. You're Doc. Why, yeah. Yeah, that's true. I don't think there are any trans people. in the original Snow White, I'm not sure. If I were one of the dwarfs, that would be hard.

I'm six foot four, but I would be grumpy. You all know that. Okay? I liked Happy, the best, happy the dwarf. Anyway, rest is history. Disney, biggest entertainment company in the world on hard times now because of the woke stuff. Walt Disney died 1971 from lung cancer. I'm sorry, 1966.

I got so many dates here. I got me. He died December. 15th, 1966, Walt did, the age of 65 from lung cancer. He was a chain smoker. That is the history. All right, we got a good mail segment and a final thought about the importance of next year, which is coming up fast. Right back. Let's go to the mail. We got James Shackmouth, Kenosha, Wisconsin. Bill, I know you've said James Buchanan was the worst president because it was handling of the slavery issue and Joe Biden's second word. So what, in your opinion, would it

take for Biden to move ahead of Buchanan? It's impossible. Becana was so bad, so many people died because they am. Because it just don't wait, unless Biden starts a nuclear war or something. Kenny, concierge member, Kenny gets direct access to me. I could not agree more. I was also born and bred New York in New York and with 20 years in law enforcement. And I feel unsafe. in the city now. Worst part, it's spreading the Long Island. Not so much. Nassau and Suffolk County police departments and the Republican administrations in both counties is stopping the madness. Not so much. It can be done. Dan, turns out that the 1980s flick escaped from New York was very apropos. I was thinking about that. Snake Pliskin. That was a really interesting.

movie. Bob Nolan, Ontario, California, right outside of LA. I don't like giving cash to people on the street because I don't know what they're going to buy, but I would like to help, so I give them a gift card to a fast food place. Okay, that's good charity, I think, even if they're drug addicts and alcoholics, they've got to eat. All right. Lorenzo Crichillo, Farmingville, New York. Hey, Bill, your thoughts of of looking up old classmates and friends, sending them a Christmas card, very, something that I do. It's called re-thanksgiving. In essence, the thought of it is to reconnect with people you may have drifted apart from, but goes further into trying to get past bad feelings and forgiveness. Yeah. You know, if you want to

approach months to somebody that you feel bad about having a poor relationship with, this is a great time of year to do it. But I like the reach out to people that were really positive in your life and drifted away. I think that's such a good Christmas thing. Luann Hirsch, Walnut Creek, California. That was your best smart tip, smart life tip ever. Learning not to force the situation is a key to happiness and peace. I think that's why it's so closely tied to faith. You know, you do your best.

You try your hardest to make something happen. If it doesn't happen, accept it. Jim Revilla, Clovis, California, a lot of Californians today. Bill, I've read all the killing books. I just finished killing the SS, let me very disturbed. I had no idea that our country, along with many European countries, had such a limited desire to hunt down the Nazi war criminals. That was because of the communists for America,

because we feared Stalin. You wanted to use the Nazi hierarchy as a bulwark. That's why they did it. They shouldn't have done it. It was wrong, but that's why they did it. Killing Patton is also a book. If you read Killing the SS, they go hand in hand. Okay.

Bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name and town, if you wish to opine, please go to the Christmas Hanukkah store. Hanukkah's Friday.

You will like this book. You give gift cards to bill o'Reilly.com, premium members, and concierge, members. These are fabulous gifts, and I will tell you why in a final thought coming up after these messages. Okay, there's the final thought of the day. So next year is a vital year in American history. 2004, tell the tale on which way this country is going to go. We're going to get back to traditional tenants that made us the greatest country on earth, or are we going to let the far left progressive movement take us over and destroy and divide us? What are we going to do? So, even the dimest among us, all right, when presented with that, traditional, progressive, got to start

to pay attention. As we discussed earlier in the program, you're not going to get the truth from the corporate media. They will not tell you the truth. We will. Therefore, the gift cards, the premium and concierge memberships of Bill O'Reilly.com become vital, V-I-T-A-L, vital. Word of the day. You know what it means. But this is not anything casual here this year. This is so important. And if you want information on a daily basis, that is honest, this is the place to be. Some of your friends might not even know about it. I can't tell you how many places I go, we love you, O'Reilly, but we miss you. I say, you don't have to miss me. You go to Bill O'Reilly. dot com. There I am. There's probably too much of me on there. And then our radio stations across

the country, they take the no spin news at night, WABC, our flagship station. You know, I mean, but the gift cards really will put people in a position to get the information they need and to discuss. You guys got to talk about this stuff. Not to argue. But if you don't know how important 2024 is going to be, then I don't know if you're worthy to live. in this country. That's how intense this year is going to be. We hope you do go to Bill O'Reilly.com Christmas and Hanukkah store, bulk on up, and we will see you again tomorrow.
