Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the NOSBN News for Monday, May 20, 2004, stand up for your country. So Donald Trump walking into court today in New York City mentioned me, your humble correspondent, and the message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, which I hope every more, morning. You go and read. It's free and all of that. I was caught by surprise, and we will play that for you and put it into the context of which it occurred. But the talking points memo this evening is President Biden's speech to the graduating class of Morehouse College in Atlanta. The speech bothered me on a personal level. And I want to let you know.

what happened there. So Morehouse College, very prestigious, primarily African-American school, founded in 1867, Martin Linger Luther King, senior and junior, attended Morehouse. That's about 2,200 undergraduate students, 414 did graduate over the weekend, and Donald Trump was Donald Trump. Joe Biden, President Biden, was the invited commencement speaker. Okay, so that sets the stage. Now, there is some local reporting. I wasn't there. It says that the president's speech was not received in a wildly enthusiastic way.

Now, I want to be fair here. So I wasn't there, and that's the interpretation of other so-called journalists, but you know the world we live in now. But I think it is safe to say that there wasn't a strong pro or con reaction from the 400 students that heard him speak. Now, I'm going to run you two sound bites. The first one is an attempt by President Biden to, I don't know, convince, maybe that's too strong a word, the students, that the system, is rigged against them. Roll it.

I never thought I'd be in a president of time when there's a national effort to ban books. Not to write history, but to erase history. They don't see you in the future of America, but they're wrong. To me, we make history, not erase it. We know black history is American history. Many of you graduates don't know me, but check my record.

You know what I'm saying. I mean from my gut. We know black men are going to help us lead us to the future. Black men from this class in this university. Well, what about the black women? So if a Republican, conservative, traditional politicians and black men, press would have just slaughtered them. But what about the black women?

And this just goes to my belief that Joe Biden doesn't really know what he's saying. He didn't write the speech. Somebody wrote it for him. But this is what bother me. Okay. They don't see you in a future of America. Who's they? What are you talking about?

So one of the most famous books that hasn't been banned. No books have been banned on a. mass scale that we know of. There are books that have been challenged, particularly in Florida. So as we're reported, this can be a county in the panhandle killing Reagan. My book was pulled out of the school library. No explanation. They probably don't like me. But it's still out. It hasn't been banned. They're evaluating the book. For what? Books 100% accurate. So there are challenges to books. But there's nothing to do with skin color.

I think I'm a white guy. A lot of it has to do with sexual content. Okay? Again, I don't know anything you do with black and white. So Biden gets in there and he's trying to sell this. They're banning books about African American history. And no. So, some of the biggest selling books in this country are about the black experience.

Coats and all these others. I mean, they sell millions of copies. Come on. And that bothers me. Now, again, Biden know what he's saying. He doesn't know what he's saying. I know that. You're not convinced some of you of that, but I know it.

The second thing is that we did a big search across the country. to see if any school districts have irrationally banned any books about African-American history. We can't find any. Again, some have been challenged, but there's no big book ban, but he's trying to make out that there's just concerted national effort to, pardon the pun, black out black history. It's not true. Second sound bite has to do with race baiting.

Now, what is race baiting? It's when you use skin color to incite. Now, race baiting can be done by any ethnic person, white, black, Asian, Native American, anybody can race bait. So you use a skin color to try to get people upset. jet. Roll a tape. Well, let's be clear, what happens to you and your family when old ghost and new garment sees power, extremists come for the freedoms you thought belonged to you and everyone.

Today in Georgia, they won't allow water to be available to you while you wait in line to vote in election. What in the hell is that all about? I'm serious. Think about it. And then the constant attacks on black election workers who count your vote. Insurrectionists, the storm the Capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some. Not in my house. All right, so they won't allow water. Just the blacks, It's like, yes. So today in Georgia, they won't allow water to be available to you while you're waiting in line of vote.

That's not true. There was a Georgia law passed, the Election Integrity Act of 2021, that says no one can provide food or drink to anyone in line to vote. That's an electioneering law, because you could have somebody in a, you know, Republican hat given out whatever to people online, you can't do that. That's against the federal law. But in Georgia, there are self-service water stations at all the polling places under this law. So again, Biden is just propaganda after propaganda.

And then attacks on black election workers, constant attack. on black electorate workers. Again, we did a massive coast-to-coast search. Here's what he's talking about. This is really incredible. In Georgia, two women, Ruby Freeman and her daughter were Andrea Moss were attacked by Rudy Giuliani for doing bad stuff during the vote in 2020. Two women We can't find any other African-American poll people who have been accused. None. And remember, here's Biden. Constant attacks on black election workers.

That's his quote. Now, what happened to Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss? Well, they were awarded $148 million in damages, which has ruined Giuliani's life. he's bankrupt so i think the system is working if you're unjustly accused as these women were then you sue and they want a hundred and forty eight million dollars what is biden talking about this really is beyond the pale and my job now through november is the fact is the fact check both Biden and Trump for what they say. Now, I don't know, and I suspect the students at Moore House had no idea about what I just told you, about the book ban, about the water, about

the, they don't know. So why is Biden doing this? He's doing it to tell these graduates have worked hard. Many of them are the first people in their entire family history. to graduate from college, that they're going into a country that hates them. That's what he's doing. Country hates it. They're not going to give you water if you want to vote. If you're a black election worker, they're going to cack you.

It's on and on and on and on and on. If you write a book about black history, it's going to be banned. Come on. You know, really, I've given a commencement speech. That's not what you're supposed to do. Okay, that's the 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. Tharu, 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 and precious medals 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 866-3-2-6, 55-76, or text Bill to 99-89-88-99. Again, that's 866-326-5576 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 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. So let's get another point of view on this. Joining us now from Washington is Dr. Ravi Pavan. He is a political science presser at Howard University, another prestigious school.

He served as Department of Political Science Head at Howard from 219 to 222. All right, first of all, my being unfair in my analysis of the Biden speech. Yeah, you got a few things just inaccurate. I know you would appreciate this. I know you know spend known in fact. Sure, sure. Try, we can agree on some things. There have been some series of book bans. I'm former president of the Association for Ethnic Studies.

We get along with the American Library Association and Penn America. We track this information. And American Library Association is noted over 4,000 titles have been banned. Many of them of African American origin in terms of the authorship. In Florida, over 3,000 books banned in the past year. alone across 11 districts, according to Penn America. This has been cited in NPR and New York Times, so I'm sure you. Let me jump in.

We have the same information from the American Library Association. The books have been challenged, not banned. Challenge. Well, no, they have been censored. Can you give me a doctor? Can you give me a school? district, can you give me one school district? I gave you one that took my book off the shelf. Can you give me one school district that have taken books out of the school library

based on African American history? Just one. Name any district in the state of Texas that has been doing this for decades. And we in the... So you say all school districts in Texas have done it? Under the last several decades of GOP leadership, here's why state school boards, you should know this, you were a former teacher like my mom, state boards of education, which are most cases that are appointed by governors are the ones that actually set curriculum. School boards set policy. And so when you see parents fighting at school boards in the local districts about what their children are learning or not, what they are objecting to. is, in fact, curriculum.

And curriculum has largely been watered down in GOP-led state with governorship because the GOP has been effective in the past 20, 30 years, and really in taking over state executive leadership and the state top. Look, here's what I'm trying to say. Here's what I'm trying to say to you. There is no mass book ban in the United States about African history, American history. There isn't. It doesn't exist.

That's inaccurate, no. That's inaccurate. You and I disagree because I've got the library. and we have challenges. We have challenges, no bans. That's what we have. How about we talk about what we should be offering? Why can't we teach students? We'll get to that. We'll get to the bigger picture. Would you challenge doctor? You challenge my facts. My facts are correct. There's no mass book ban of African American history in this country. There are challenges. And you're right. Some local school boards are ridiculous. Look, you think I like killing Reagan being

pulled out of the schools and has to be a county. That's insane. So I know it's happening. Somebody, you know, we were a book on Reagan. It's honest. Good and the bad. They didn't like it. So I pulled it. So that happens. I agree. No mass book ban. And that's what Biden's trying to sell. My point is that as an educator. The what? Well, I just think that as an educator, hopefully you agree that. Educator is the one setting curriculum. It should not be parents. I agree that the local school boards. I agree that the local school boards should set, it's a local issue, all right, and that they should be absolutely bend over backwards to get the material into the school library so the kids can read a number

of things. That's what I agree with. Now, the election workers, okay, we cited two. We can't find any others. Whereas the President of the United States is telling them Warhouse, hey, they're under constant attack everywhere. Come on. That's an exaggeration meant to inflame the students against the country. That's what it is. No, systemic discrimination is not exaggeration. It's my lived experience. You know, the fact that I have, you know, a grandfather that was, you know, that had a father that was enslaved. This is documented evidence. Okay, but I had, listen, that's in the past. That's history. We're talking about 2024 now. We're talking about graduates from college who have to go into the marketplace and compete for a prosperous life.

What happened to your- In those people at the Morehouse, I'm very well prepared, and the president encouraged them that they are well prepared, but that they should, in fact, face the reality that the world and the deck isn't any, cases stacked against them. You're going to say that black man in America, I've had an equal opportunity bill? No, I'm not going to say that. And that would be absurd because black men in America have had a much rougher road than white men. Everybody knows that. But if you build a wall of grievance, if the students coming out of Moore House have a chip on their shoulder and an attitude, if I don't succeed, it's the white man's fault. That's destructive. That is destructive.

That's not what President Biden said. Well, that's what I heard. President, what he said is he did use the reference to they, and they are institutional forces, sometimes ideological actors, sometimes interest groups, sometimes powerful corporate interests, sometimes infiltration of Russia and China and other people's elections that want to try to convince African Americans not to vote in their own best interests, as was the case in the 2016 election.

These are absolutely documented instances of structural and equality. that has systemically hindered the opportunities and life chances for black men, even with college degrees. And so, yes, it was important to not do a wall of grievance, how did you say, but to recognize the pain and the horror of decades of generational genocide committed. Well, I think everybody, any fair-minded person recognizes that. Now we need to move forward. Let me ask you this.

So if you were speaking at Moore House, okay, are you going to see? set your tone of your speech to be grievance, all right, unresolved grievance, or optimism that if you work hard, no matter what color you are, there is no limits to how you can succeed. Because there really isn't any limit in this country, as Barack Obama proved. There's no limit now. No, but in the individual instances of black success of a certain small number do not in any way negate the reality of significant black challenges and employment, significant challenges and access to health care that the Affordable Care Act and apologies that the Biden administration has in fact reported. Well, here is here's the irony of what

you're saying. Under Donald Trump, black unemployment was the lowest in history. This is the And, you know, the African-American community generally. As we all, though, economic numbers lag beyond the particular time in which a president is in office. Every party does this, but just because you have good economic numbers while you are in office does not mean it's a result immediately of your policy. Sometimes it takes... Well, it's the only yardstick we have, and more blacks were working under Trump than ever.

And I have got coming up. That was then. Right now, we... have more blacks working under Biden than ever. So let's talk about that now. No, no, you know. It's a higher percentage of unemployment under Biden than it was under Trump. And that's an interesting stat. I didn't even know that until this morning. Final question for you. And I appreciate the debate. Believe me. I give a I give money to Talladega College. You know that. Alabama. And the reason I do is because Talladega is a working

situation, working class situation. And that's where I went to college, you know, primarily white working class school. Now, Talladega College is in business, all right, to lift up the poorest African Americans. That's what they're in business to do. And they're doing a damn good job of it, which is why I give my money to them, right? Because I, you know, I have a relationship with the president. I know what they're doing. I know what they're trying to do. But I told the president, and you tell me if I'm wrong, I said, I don't want to support you. or Talladega if you're going to sell grievance. You have to understand what happened.

You have to understand the history of it. You have to. You have to be willing, Bill, to reframe what you call grievance as rather a retelling of the accurate story of our lived experience in the past and how that affects our present. That is the reality.

You call it a grievance, I call it my living here. Don't set up a racial polarized society where if you, fail because everyone does, you're blaming it on skin color. I think you're going to make the informed society. I think you would agree with that. We need young people to know white studies, black studies, Latino studies, Chicana studies, Native American studies, queer studies.

We need students of all graduate classes to understand how white people became white, how when we came here. No problem with that. I wrote a series of history books that goes absolutely all through that. And if you read Killing Lincoln, the black experience is highlighted there. Hey, doctor, a very, very good debate. We really appreciate your time. And we'll do it again, I hope, sometime. Thank you very much.

All right, Trump, as I mentioned at the top of the program, Biden's schedule, by the way, he has nothing on his schedule. He came back from Delaware at one. the afternoon and he's got it's Jewish American Heritage Month. He's got some meeting. So don't worry about that. So Trump shows up for court today.

And thank God this trial is going to end soon. And here's what he says. Go. Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump and his family do not deserve this blatant miscarriage of justice. Don't applaud the destruction of justice because you may be on the receiving end someday. That's Bill O'Reilly. Okay, so I wrote a message and he lifted that, and it's in context. So I want everybody to read the message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, because there's a reason that I wrote the message.

And it's just, it's more than that paragraph. I want you to check it out. So today we learned that Michael Cohen, the prosecution store witness, stole money from Donald Trump. That's what we learned. I'm not handicapped in this trial. I told you up top. I think it's going to be a hung jury. I'm staying to that.

It'll probably be over because of Memorial Day weekend and all that. Maybe next Wednesday, I don't know. But that's where we are. Okay. Over the weekend, Donald Trump addressed African-American voters directly in Texas. Here's what Mr. Trump said. Go. And honestly, there's been no president since April.

Abraham Lincoln, and perhaps in a certain way, including Abraham Lincoln, but there's been no president since Abraham Lincoln that has done more for the black individual in this country than President Donald J. Trump. There's been nobody, not even close. All right, so Trump's basing that on 2019 December, record low unemployment for blacks 5.9%. Now, under Biden, it's six-point poor percent. Okay, so it's risen a half point under Biden from pre-COVID. Can't take the COVID stats, obviously. All right, the median income, 2019, again, under Biden for blacks, was $52,500.

The median income now is $52,0860, but when you add in the enormous inflation, the median income for blacks has dropped under. by. Now, those are the stats. Now, what did he mean by, but there's been no president to Abraham Lincoln and has done more for the black individual than Donald J. Trump, and perhaps in a certain way, including Abraham Lincoln. What did he mean by that? He meant that Lincoln had no sway over black economics. Okay, emancipation proclamation freed, blacks from slavery, Civil War ended, but Lincoln didn't have any direct economic power, and Trump did. That's what he meant.

But Trump gets himself in trouble by not spelling it out historically. That's my job, I guess. Anyway, I thought that was interesting. I wrote a column about Donald Trump demanding that Joe Biden get drug tested before the June 27th debate. It's pretty funny. So that's on Bill O'Reilly.com. The column on Sunday is different from the Daily Message, and I hope you read both.

Media. All right, so Congresswoman Elise Stefanik goes on Fox News with Shannon Bream. And it's a shootout. Go. The New York Times had a lengthy piece where they talk about your transformation. They say from somebody who was not supportive of President Trump

to somebody who is full-throatedly supported of him. They say you called him a whack job at one point. And they add this. In August 2015, she told a New York radio station that he was insulting to women and that his candidacy would hurt the party's efforts to attract female voters. According to her former friends, they continue. She thought Mr. Trump was too awful and ridiculous to be taken seriously. Her revisionism still shocks those who have known her the longest and who remember the disdain she expressed for Mr. Trump back then. So the question is when? More importantly, why did you change your mind about President Trump? Well, Shannon, it's a disgrace that you would quote the New York Times with nameless, faceless, false sources. So I'm giving you a chance to respond to that.

Shannon, Shannon, Shannon, they're not quoting my friends. Those names are not included because they are false smears. I was attacked. To be fair, there are a number of names of people. No, Shannon. Just to be fair, there are a number of names of people who are quoted in the article. Shannon, let me correct to you. People can read it for themselves.

Okay, so I read it for myself. And the Congresswoman is correct. And Shannon Bream is wrong. Now, I like Shannon Bream. She's usually fair. Known her for a long time. This was a gotcha. Set up.

So in the article, there's one name. One. Melissa DeRosa. You know that name? She's a Democrat who worked for Governor Andrew Cuomo, who's known the Steffinac for a long time. I'm sorry. Stefanik.

for a long time. That's the only name. So what Janet Bream said wasn't true. She got called out. The winner is the Congress law. Primetime coverage of Joe Biden's executive privilege saying that no tapes of him can be released in the documents interview done by special counsel, her.

You remember that last week. So here's who covered. CNN, two minutes, 20 seconds. MMAC, they just couldn't get around to it. Fox News gave it six minutes. ABC World News 121, nightly, one four, a minute four. CBF, even news, they can only do 25 seconds of that executive order. I got a bunch of mail and say, oh, no, you can't.

Biden has the power to do that. But you can jump up and down all day long. He can block it. And there's no court going to overrule them, including his Supreme Court. That in the Constitution, presidential power. All right, crime time. You remember on October 28, 2022, a man named David D. Puppie, or Pape, I don't even care what his name is, broke into the Nancy Pelosi home in San Francisco, attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi with a hammer,

fractured Paul Pelosi's skull, and injured him grievously. He has been now, the PAPE has been sentenced to 30 years in a federal penitentiary. Good. We cannot have this. And you remember there were some right-wing conspirators that said, oh, Paul Pelosi knew him and, you know, I said at the time, false. Okay, be very, very careful on a conspiracy front. In New York City, 34-year-old Patrick Young attacks a police car. with two officers inside.

He's got a big knife. He kicks in the window and punches to officers. He's arrested, held on $10,000 bail. Very rare, but they had to. He attacked two cops, okay? Appears before Justice Brenda Rivera in the Bronx. Vera lets him go. He has 20 priors, including

weapons charges. This woman, who's a judge, lets him go. That's what we have. That's the progressive left, right there, smiling at you. Unbelievable. And you wonder why New York City police officers are just 200, I think it's 200 a week or a month or quit. Bye. Smart life. I've been a little selfish, just promoting my own books of Father's Day, so I'll spread it out a little bit. Dad and Granddad, if they're readers, I got some books for you. The Light of Battle, Eisenhower D-Day, the Birth of American Superpower, Michael Paradis.

Taking London, my co-author of Martin Dugard, that's his book. Winston Churchill in a fight to save civilization. That will be out June 11th. Okay, the Shadow of War, a Naval, a Novel. Okay, we have naval written down here, but it's a novel of the Cuban missile crisis, Jeff Shara. Judgment of Tokyo, this is a good book. World War II on trial and making of modern Asia, Gary Bass. They're all good books, but this one caught my attention.

Okay, I have your back, how an American soldier became an international hero, Tom Sileo. And finally, the unvanquished, the untold story of Lincoln Special Forces, the man on for Moses Ragers, shadow war that forge America's special operations, Patrick O'Donnell. That's some subtitle. Anyway, all of those are history books. And if you want to get to add, if he's got all mine, you might consider those smart life. All right, Louisiana becoming the first state to require the Ten Commandments be posted in all public schools. All right, this is Louisiana Bill HB-7-1. I believe that the governor will sign it. and then it will be ruled unconstitutional.

Because it's already in a 1980 ruling, Supreme Court said, no. But it's wrong because the Supreme Court itself in the building has a display of the Ten Commandments. When you go to Washington and you tour the Supreme Court building, you'll see the Ten Commandments. Why? Because our entire law system is based on Judeo-Christian tradition.

That's why? So we'll follow Louisiana thing. Jeff Landry is the new governor there. He's a good guy, and we'll see it where it goes. Okay, this day in history, one of my favorite shows, along with Mary Tyler Moore, was Cheers. Okay? Very well written, good flow, fun to watch. 31 years ago, May 20th, 1993, 93 million Americans watched the last episode of Cheers.

Okay, 40% of the population. tuned into a sitcom today, 31 years ago. Okay? Cheers at 275 episodes. And as I said, the writing was great. Roll it. I've got a pet little theory about that. You see, if you go back in history and take every president,

you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in the last name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. So who's going to win, Cliff? Reagan again? What, not? No, no, not a chance. See, I figured it out. By my calculations,

our next president has to be named Yelnik McWawa. That's the stupidest name I've ever heard. Sam, please. You're talking about our next president. Okay, last episode of Cheers, 31 years ago today. Ted Danson still alive, 76. Shelly Long, still alive, 74. 76, still alive. George Went, Norm, 75, still alive. John Ratsenberger, he just saw, age 77,

still around, still kicking. They do individual projects, you see him. Kelsey Grammer, just as a new sitcom, he's 69. Woody Harrison, big movie star, 62, and Kirste Allie unfortunately died 2002 of colon cancer. So there's your day in history. I'll be back with mail and a final thought about my daughter. All right, let's go to the mail. We have David concierge member. Again, concierge membership. We urge you to look into it.

Insurance policy for your life. Believe me, this will help you. Bill, I'm glad you stated that this whole debate process is outdated and no longer necessary because of lack of fact checking. I couldn't agree more. Yeah, it's a waste of time now unless you put in the fact check at the end. David, another concierge, remember the only problem I can think of with your suggestion of fact-checking is that Trump should not agree to the CNN debate moderated by Tapper because it would be, it would be unfair to have CNN fact-checkers. All right, okay, I understand, but you got to have fact-checking.

If they're in the network, they're going to have to provide the fact-checkers. Janine Disher, Grayland, Washington, what are your criterias for confronting the presidents? Which one do you confront most and why? Well, my upcoming book, Confronting the Presidents, No Spin Assessment from Washington to Biden, does just that. Very simple. I'm a simple man. Did the individual president, 45 of them, hurt or helped the country? and we tell you, you know, based on the evidence.

Susan Calione, Swanee, Georgia, not rocket science debate in June. Joe Biden will get softball questions, and Donald Trump will get questions about January 6th and his trials, et cetera.

Would you change your eating habits? Well, I've already changed.

my eating habits. So some people eat the ice cream, even if it kills you, just like some people smoke if it kills you. But everybody should know what sugar can do to you. So I'm for it. Maurice Daniel, Castle Hane, North Carolina. Can't wait to read confronting the presidents. How did you decide which president's display in a cover? It was just art. You know, I mean, we put recognizable people on there, but it's just the cover's argument. You got the cover, throw it on up. I designed a cover, and it was a cover. And it wasn't. any political message sent. You know, the people are recognizable. We got a good blend of old and new. And the book comes out on September 10th. John McGrath, Lynn Haven, Florida.

And word of the day do not be a charlatan when writing to me, Bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name and town, if you wish to opine. Charlton is C-H-A-R-L-A-T-A-N, back with a final thought about my daughter.

Okay, here is a final thought today. My daughter graduates from St. John's Law School. This evening, I'll be there and keep a low profile. She doesn't like a lot of attention. And I kind of bring attention wherever I go with. I'll be there. Nobody will see me, though. So I had a conversation with her.

I said, look, you worked hard and proud of you, of course. I mean, go through law school, and she did very well. you really have to work hard. And that's a necessity, as I was talking to the doctor earlier. Hard work is really, it's not skin color, it's hard work. But I said, now that you're gonna be an attorney, you can go two ways. You can help people, pro bono work, advocacy,

giving people breaks, defending the right people, or you can hurt them, ambulance chasing, anybody walks through the door with a check, you take the case, you don't check it out, you don't know, you ruin people's lives because you want money. Most lawyers do that. Not all, but most, if you're going to get paid, they will take the case. And the excuse is, well, everybody deserves a defense or everybody deserves to be heard, or okay, I got it. But you need to check it out because attorneys have the power to ruin people's lives and family's lives and a lot of them do they want money money money money money money

money so I said to her I said look you got to make a choice you know work for a law firm firm comes in you take the case you check it out you know it's flimsy you can't do it you can't you cannot destroy people for money if you do you will be destroyed it will come back and destroy you. But if you use your powers for good, you will be heightened. You will have a fine life. So I laid it out that way. Pretty stark. And I got a little, you know, from, she likes to give me jazz, and I got jazz from her. But I said, that's it. Pretty simple if you're an attorney. You go down the right road or you go down a wrong road. It's not a construction job. This is a job of decision making. And I hope you don't go down the dark alley. No coming back from that.

Once you destroy somebody, that's forever. Very proud of my daughter. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
