Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, stand up for your country. Well, the world is in turmoil. You know that. And it's because of weak and or corrupt leadership. So the world is now an unstable place. Four years ago, it was not.

Just keep that in mind. Putin is a menace. The Mullahs in Iran are worse. They're just murderers there. Putin's a murderer too. But the mullahs, the fanaticism they bring, that all infidels deserve to die, I mean, it's pretty staggering.

And then you have President Biden, who's not an evil man, in my opinion, but he's befuddled, he's weak, and he may be corrupt. He may have taken money from his son and brother, and we are following that story, as you know. Enter the Chinese president, Xi, another evil-doer, I guess. I mean, what he's done to the Muslims in China and around the world, he supports Putin, he supports Iran. I'd say he's evil, but we have to deal with him, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So, tomorrow in San Francisco, at the APEC, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, meeting, she and Biden will meet. I don't have a time yet, but, you know, obviously, when we know it,

you'll know it. So this is a very important meeting for everybody on the planet. And most people have no idea, which is sad. But you do because you're here, absorbing information for me. So China, Russia, and Iran have now banned together. They're partners in trying to hurt the United States of America. That's the headline. These three countries are trying to hurt us, we the people, for a variety of reasons. Putin and the Mullahs are hopeless. No reasoning with them.

The only thing they understand is force. Putin himself, I believe, will. self-destruct, but I could be wrong. He's not going to win in Ukraine, but he doesn't seem to care anymore. The mullahs, they may have to be confronted militarily. So just keep that in mind. China is persuadable to get out of that axis of evil or whatever you want to call it. And here's the reason. It's not because the Chinese communists are good people or are looking out the world, no. They couldn't care less. They want to impose communism on as many human beings as they can. That's why they're there. But the MCI in China is down two trillion dollars

in three years. That MCI, MSCI, I should say, is basically the stock market and other economic indicators. So it's lost $2 trillion. That's enormous. Okay, 54% drop. So if you're an investor, a Chinese investor, and there are a few, not many, you're getting your butt kicked, all right? And that trickles down to the folks who don't have anything anyway. If you live in a Chinese countryside, believe me, you have nothing. So China, is in trouble economically. They cannot afford to have the United States slap sanctions on them. And that's what would happen if China invades Taiwan. That's why they haven't invaded it yet. So China needs the USA to buy its products, including TikTok, because China

is an export economy. It makes things cheaply. It sends it to the USA, sells it for 10 times of much money, and then the money flows back to Beijing, where it's distributed around. That's how it works. You take the United States market out, Iran's not going to buy anything from them, okay? Russia, they don't have any money over there. This is what the Chinese need, so they're persuadable. But you've got to have skill to do that, and Biden does it. So the White House, the Biden administration, has taken the president out of the equation.

Not many people know this. He'll be at the meeting, and maybe he'll even say a few words. But he's not running that meeting. Secretary of State Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan are running the show. In conjunction with the Pentagon, they will tell Biden what to say, when to say it. Biden himself has absolutely no clue about geopolitics or the economy or anything else. He's there as a figurehead. That's why he's there. He has to be there. All right. So you're not going to get any of this reportage anywhere else, by the way. I mean,

they're either going to slam Biden, the Fox people, and the conservative people, you're going to slam him. or they're going to praise him like the liberal networks will do in the New York Times and Washington Post. But this is not personal with me. I'm reporting this accurately. Now, the way to do this is you're not going to force China to do anything. The United States isn't strong enough to force China to do anything. Okay? But you can say, if you do X, Y will happen.

That's what Trump did. Okay? And X doesn't always have to be negative. X can be positive. So if you do, if you stop aiding Putin, then we will increase your exports by 5%. Whatever. You go in with a deal to she who understands deals. On this program, I don't know, maybe eight months, nine months ago,

former Secretary of State Pompeo said that she was the coldest character he had ever met in his life, dead eyes. And that's true. She understands numbers and power. That's it. He doesn't care about anybody, but she. He's got two close friends in the entire world. One of them came here a few weeks ago to set this meeting up, and we reported on that. Now, Teddy Roosevelt was a very good negotiator, and I'm sorry to bore you with the history,

but it's important that you know. Walk softly, carry a big stick, talk softly, carry a big stick. And Teddy couldn't walk really softly because he was kind of stocky. And the big stick was, you do something to hurt us, and then we're going to hurt you back. more. That's the big stick. You've got to do it in a way in these meetings in San Francisco that isn't threatening. I do this in my own personal negotiations. And some people say, are you threatening me? I said, no. But I want to be fair to you and tell you what's going to happen if you do X. That's all. I want to be fair.

I don't want to threaten because this is our policy. That's how you do it. So the meeting is a positive for the world. We've got to bring down the world tension, which has risen dramatically under Biden. It's a fact. Got to bring it down. And the United States has got to be unemotional and resolute. This is what we would like to see you do.

China. And if you do it, you're going to prosper. But if you continue to ship weapons to Putin and the mullahs, then you're not going to prosper. That's it. Now, I'm going to report this fairly tomorrow. I mean, we'll be all over it. I've got good sources. We'll get you as best information as we can. And that's a memo. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under press. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over

your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty-free.

Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-8899. Again, And that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.

So the president of the United States delivered remarks on how great he's doing with climate crisis. Fine. She doesn't care about climate crisis, so there it is. And then he's going to have a meeting tonight. Biden is with his donors in San Francisco, and there are many, giving him many, for the campaign. Okay, so before all of this began, all of the meeting stuff, and again, this is an

economic meeting not only with China, but with all the Asian countries that's taking place in San Francisco. It's a big economic meeting there. And as we reported yesterday, San Francisco's an embarrassment to the world. So now they swept out all the drug addicts and all the homeless. That was asked to Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, yesterday. Go. San Francisco has cleaned up their streets ahead of President Biden and President Cheese meeting. They moved homeless to other parts of the city, cleared tent cities, and trash off the street.

Is the president embarrassed that an American city needs to go through a total makeover to be presentable for his out-of-town guests? The president is incredibly proud of the record that the United States will bring as host to this summit? So they didn't answer the question. You expect them to answer the question? I mean, that's what these guys do now. I don't even know why they press bothers with them.

They just wouldn't answer any questions. If it were me, I would have stood up and said, maybe did you not understand a question? Is President Biden embarrassed by the state of San Francisco? Yes or no? Right? So anyway, they're all the same. So to the big march in Washington, D.C., pro-Israel today.

It attracted a lot of people. I don't have a crowd estimate yet for you. I don't be accurate. We'll have it for you tomorrow. And this is necessary. Sponsored by the Jewish Federation of North America. Conference of Presidents of major American Jewish organizations. So, you know, we saw all the pro-Hamas demonstrations.

Now we're going to see some pro-Israel demonstrations. And tomorrow I'll have a little bit more on it for you. So far, we're taping in the late afternoon, but no problems so far. Hamas. So they say they may release 70 women and children being held hostage. 240 are believed to be captives of Hamas right now. In return for the 70, Hamas wants some power. Palestinians to be released. That means terrorists. They want Israel to give up some terrorists that Israel has captured.

Pretty tough for Israel to do that. They'll work out something, I think, but I can't be sure. But that's in motion now. So I wanted to get the best expert, as I always do for you guys, to talk about President Biden's foreign policy outlook. And the best guy in a country, in my opinion, humble opinion, is a former senator from Connecticut, Joseph Lieberman. He's not an ideologue, got tons of experience in the Middle East. He knows China very well. Senator, thanks for helping us out here. What I want to know first is overall, Israel Hamas, is the Biden administration handling it well? What grade would you give them?

Yeah, it will great to be worthy on thanks for your business. kind words in introduction. So I guess I'd give them a B plus. These are two real challenges to our security, American, to world security, and to our values, the Hamas attack on the Israelis, which is really Iran that hates us and hates Israel and really hates the Arab countries as well. And of course, Putin's invasion of Ukraine. So I would say, say President Biden's administration have taken a strong position supporting both the Ukrainians and the Israelis. Why does it be plus? I think with the Ukrainians, we could have given them some better military system sooner with the current situation in the Middle East. Of course,

everybody, nobody likes to see innocent civilians in Gaza being hurt or killed as a result of the Israeli effort to destroy Hamas. But that's Hamas' fault. And I just don't think we should pressure our allies in Israel to ceasefire or stop the fight. So maybe there could be a little less than that from the administration. But overall, the president's restated American leadership in the world. And that's important. And not everybody on Capitol Hill agrees with that. So it's doubly important. Okay. Were you surprised at all of the demonstrations, particularly at the universities, against the state of Israel? Did that surprise you? Yeah, it's not just the demonstrations because maybe it could figure that because there's such a leftist influence on college campuses,

but the size and the intensity of it and the terrible hatred, not just sort of anti-Israel, but in some cases pretty clearly anti-Semitic. And to a certain extent, anti-American. It makes me think that some radical left-wing groups infiltrated those pro-Palestinian demonstration with tearing down American flags, you know, and a burning and whacking, not only Netanyahu, but Biden as if they were pinatas.

That's awful stuff. And it doesn't speak for the American people, but it sends out a terrible message. from American college campuses. Yeah, and you got Harvard, MIT, and the top schools in the country basically justifying it by not taking any action

against the anti-Semites and the destructive people. They basically let it go. And did that surprise you? Well, it did, but frankly not as much because I watched that happen on college campuses. Too many of the administrators try to please everybody. And, you know, a university is supposed to be a place.

of truth, where you teach truth and learn truth. And in these cases, you just can't please everybody. Some people are just plain wrong. And a president of a university should say that. If demonstrators are anti-Semitic, the president shouldn't feel like, oh, they're going to make a wishy-washy statement. Everybody has a point here.

No, not everybody does have a point. That's true. And it's your crew, not you, but you are, ended your political career as an independent, but the Democratic Party, my God. Now, I set this segment up by saying that the Xi Biden meeting is important for everybody in the world. You want to drop tensions with China if you can. But I don't believe Joe Biden is in charge of this. I see it's Jake Sullivan and it's the Secretary of State Blinken. They'll be sitting next to Biden. They're pretty much calling it shots.

You know the inside. Am I wrong? Well, I mean, Biden is the president, so it's up to him to assert the authority of the commander-in-chief. But there's no question that Jake Sullivan and Blinken are important to him. Look, I think the important thing in these meetings tomorrow between Biden and she is that we're coming in on a position of strength. And I hope President Biden understands it and reflects that at the table. which is to say our economy is it's so much better shape than the Chinese economy. They're hurting of their own economic maladministration.

But we're also hurting them with our sanctions, and they're going to need some help. And it's an opportunity not to rub Xi's face in it, but to reach some agreements. You know, there are competitors. There are challenges. They have a whole way of life and way of government that's totally different from ours. But the key here is we don't want to get in a war with them. We don't even want to get in a Cold War with them. And it would be great if we can come out with some agreements from this meeting in San Francisco.

Maybe the beginning of looking at some of the tariffs to see which ones are hurt both countries and they take them off. But I'd like to see the Chinese admit that they have a role to play in cutting down the movement of fentanyl in our country. Yeah, that's great. which they do. And look, long term, this takes me back to 1972, Nixon Kissinger, when one of their main motivations for opening up relations with China

was to separate China from Russia. And here again today, China gives a lot more heft to Russia, Iran, and North Korea than those devils deserve. And we've got to convince them that it'd be a lot better for them. Back off from them. Matt, right. It's amazing how history does repeat itself. Hey, Senator, always a pleasure to talk with you. Thank you for taking the time, and I hope we can do it again soon. Thank you.

Me too, Bill. Have a great thing. Now, on to the 2024 presidential run. There is an outfit called Stack Data Strategy. I have never heard of it. It's an English corporation. They did research on 15,205 U.S. registered voters. That is a big crew. Okay, they finished the research in early November, early this month. And here is the data they are putting out. I cannot vouch for this, but the data is interesting.

Number one. It projects that Trump would defeat Biden, if the election were held today, 292 electoral votes to 246. But Biden would still win the popular vote 49 to 48%. That's because of California. California will never again even come close to voting for a Republican. It's the nation's largest state. So the popular vote will always go to a Democrat from now until the. end of this country. It's just the way it is. The states that are in play, Biden is expected to

win Colorado, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, Virginia. I'm surprised about Nevada because other polling has Nevada in the Trump camp, but this is what they say. The state Trump's, Trump's supposed to win, the contested states, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania. That's a big one. Texas and Wisconsin. All right. So this is what they say. Trump would win electoral vote and if the election were held tomorrow. Let's go to the U.S. Supreme Court. You know that Clarence Thomas, the most conservative of this Supreme Court justices, took a bunch of gifts from his friends. He got an RV. He got vacations, private jet flights, a bunch of stuff. And a very left-wing group pro-Publica has been

embarrassing, Clarence Thomas, and the Supreme Court four months. So now there is a new code. The court announced its first formal code of conduct governing ethical behavior of the non-justices. But they really didn't put it, code it. They just said, a justice should uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary, that kind of stuff, is no, you have to do this, you have to do that, none of that. So it's just a bunch of BSPR stuff. Now, what should happen is that all gifts over what? 250 bucks have to be reported to the chief justice's office and any trips or any vacations or any gratuities, anything. Over $250 have to be reported. And to approved by John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

And then if Roberts takes something, he's got to give it, designate somebody to approve or disapprove. It can be done. I understand the court not wanting to give any power to the politicians because then it becomes, well, we hate Thomas because he's a conservative, or we hate Sotomayor because she's a liberal. You don't want that. The Supreme Court should be able to police itself, but they have. have no rules here, and they need rules. Because this is the most powerful governing body in this country. It's got to have 100% credibility with the folks. I mean, the Supreme Court is more

powerful than the president, because he can knock out what the president does, knock out his executive orders. So you can't have anybody taking stuff. Got it? Supreme Court? Apparently, you don't because you should have done a lot better than this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

Okay, there's more than enough evidence that Mayorkas is not upholding the law, which is this a job. More than enough evidence of that. But Mayorkas isn't making any decisions at all, none. They're all coming from the White House. And when asked about it, I said, it's a waste the time to impeach Mayorkas because he's just, well, let the godfather to explain it.

Go. Not even your father would dream that such a thing could be possible. And Pentangelo is a dead man. You don't have ten. He's small potatoes. Small potatoes. That's what Mayorkas is, all right? He's a water carrier.

Probably the worst public servant I've ever seen. Alejandro Mayorkas? He is awful. Look about a shill. Oh, should he be impeached and booted? Yes. But he's not going to be because a bunch of Republicans, eight of them, said, you know, we don't really want to do this now. And I think there's some worthiness to that you're going to

impede you go up to Biden. Okay. The border crisis engineered by Biden with the help of my orcas is costing the U.S. taxpayer that you and me at least $500 billion this year. $500 billion. All right. And this is according to the House Committee on Homeland Security, taking data from the Center for Immigration Studies. Now, what do they spend their money on? Number one, health care. As soon as a migrant gets in here, they get free health care. Law enforcement costs to regulate them.

Education costs, the kids got to go to school. All right, welfare, big welfare for the illegal migrants. unaccompanied children have to be supported cradle to whenever they're 21. Everything. And finally, the course of transporting the migrants, $340 million right now. The government gives them plane tickets, bus tickets, train tickets, wherever they want to go. We're paying for it. Is that good?

Do you think that's a good policy, Joe? Biden? Just for that alone, he shouldn't get one vote. Not one. Just for that. Unbelievable. Smart life. All right. So Thanksgiving is in nine days, right? Nine days from now. We'll all be off, having a nice meal and having some fun, I hope. But it looks like 49 million Americans, according to the AAA, are going to travel. They're going to drive in their cars, 49 million. Additional 5 million are going to fly. So that's 54 million on the road.

An additional 2 million are going to take trains and buses. So that's 56 million. Population now is about 330 million of the United States. So 56 million on the road, going to have Thanksgiving. somewhere. Here is the problem, and this is why I put it in smart life. The airlines have not fixed their personnel problems. They haven't fixed them. They don't have enough pilots or flight attendants or mechanics or gate people to get the flights on time to the destination. It's that simple. They don't have them. Jet blue is the worst. Absolutely the bottom. I

I don't count sunburst airlines or whatever the low, I don't count them. The majors, all right? So you go in JetBlue, the over-under is, you know, 40% you might get there on time, maybe 20 if there's snows anywhere or rains anywhere. That's always the excuse. So if you are flying, and it's about $5 million, it's up. 7% over last year. Say some prayers.

It's going to be bad. Now, here's my litmus test. So I live in New York, and it's a good location if I want to go to New England, all right, or south to D.C. A lot of traffic. Tons and tons of traffic. I drive at night. I leave 7.38, okay? I usually go north to New England without a problem.

South, eh, you know, it's dicey. But I try to fly to drive, I should say, at night. If I have to fly, first flight out, because the plane has to be at the gate. The problem is the planes take off and the schedules are built around, well, they're going to arrive in Memphis, and then an hour later they're going to go to Nashville. No. First flight out is your safest flight. Okay? But driving in the congested northeast is got to be at night or you're going to get killed on the road. If I can, I drive. So my test is if I can make it to my destination in eight hours or less, I'm driving. And I'm breaking it up.

I'm breaking the eight-hour drive up. So there's always something interesting to see, no matter where you are in this country, it's a fascinating country. You look at the map, I've got four maps of everything. And I'm looking to say, oh, maybe I'll stop here, stop here for dinner, or here for lunch. I break it up. Then you listen to the killing books on tape in the car. You know, that will really help pass the time.

So eight hours, and sometimes I'll even go ten hours. hours. Because I don't want to go to the airport. Getting in and out of there, getting through security, you're not making up any time. So sometimes I'll go 10. If you have to fly, all right, you've got, bring the book. I mean, I guess you can listen to it now on the headphones, right? Everybody's got the headphones on. Bring something that is going to occupy you in a pleasant way. So you bring the stress down of the insane airlines.

Because it will be insane. I guarantee it. Smart life. Stay in History, November 14th, 2013. Fascinating story. You may have heard of James Whitey Bolger. I reported on this guy when I was up in Boston. All right. Horrible killer.

Dope dealer. You name it. Scum of the earth. So he headed the Winter Hill gang in South Boston. All right? I know it very, very well. And he got away with it for 16 years because he had a deal with the FBI that he would inform on the Italian organized crime based in the north end of Boston. There's a great movie called Black Mask, Johnny Depp, plays Bulger, very accurate movie. So anyway, the FBI squashed any local law enforcement that was going after Bulger, who was moving heavyweight narcotics from Montreal into Boston and down in New York

City. Sixteen years, FBI covered him because he was given, he was an informant. Then Bolger killed some people that dissolved the deal and they arrested him. Okay, but they didn't arrest them. They issued a warrant for his arrest. And then one of his corrupt guys, I think in the FBI, picked up the phones and Eddie Whitey, better get out of here. They're coming for you. And why he Well, 16 years, the FBI couldn't find him. 16 years. And he was the second most wanted man in the world next to Osama Bidladi. They got a tip from Iceland, from Recovic, that Bulger was in California, Santa Monica, in an apartment complex living with his girlfriend.

They got him. Okay. So 10 years ago today, Bulger starts serving his life. life sentence and he's 84 years old. All right. He's in a penitentiary, federal penitentiary in Florida. They transfer him up to West Virginia. Okay? Hazleton Penitentiary. Why? Nobody knows why. So the feds bring him into West Virginia. Where he's assassinated at age 89. All right? What they did was they had locks, steel locks, wrapped in socks, four of them, three actual and one lookout. Okay?

And they beat him to death with the locks that were wrapped in the socks. His eyes were gouged out. I mean, it was unbelievable. This happened to federal pediatry. So he's dead. The four involved in a murder are going to be tried, but they're going to be tried in December of next year. year, 2004. And this happened in 2018, this assassination of Bolger, who I don't feel sorry for. I hope he's enjoying hell, okay? But six years to try this case? Because the feds don't want to be

embarrassed, right? Why did you transfer them? How did these guys get in there to kill him? That's what this is all about. So, Whitey Bulger began serving his sentence 10 years ago today, and they killed him in a federal penitentiary. Mail, final thought, coming your way. Okay, let's go to the mail. Richard Dick, Murphy, North Carolina. Bill, you're correct that the election next year will be decided by the pocketbook. Just this month, my home insurance went up 55%, my utility bill, 93%.

Per your suggestion, I'm looking at options. You have to. I just got a car insurance. I paid $3,000 last year, two cars. They went to $10. No. Now, I might have to get car insurance from Brazil, but I'm not paying the 10.

I got a clean record. Unbelievable what's happening under the Biden administration. Nick Rossiano, Monroe, New York. understand many people need help and higher earners should pay more than low earners in tax, but why do so many people vote for more tax? Our government, our governor, that's Kathy Hockel in New York, said in a debate against Zeldon, cutting taxes is irresponsible, and she won because many of the voters for Hockel don't pay any taxes. They're poor. They're not involved with paying taxes.

Ronald Boudreau, Estero, Florida. Bill, I would really like to get some accurate info on the Gaza Strip as it relates to Israel. The Jews withdrew from Gaza in 205, I believe. So it's a narrative about Israel occupying Gaza. The narrative is that there is no government in Gaza, Ronald. It's run by terrorists. So the infrastructure has to be supplied by Israel. That means water, okay, food, you don't grow anything in Gaza, all right.

All the essentials come from Israel. The pro-Mas people, pro-Palestinian people say that's occupation. What's going on there? Rich Stevens, San Diego, I have a question for you concerning the House Committee investigating Hunter Biden. Can the committee subpoena Joe Biden? No, president will cite executive privilege. I'm not going to be able to subpoena him. Don Rae, Chicago, why do we never hear Donald Trump take credit for one of his clearest wins, namely the elimination of ISIS?

Can't answer that question? I wrote a book on it, killing the killers, a whole book that documents everything that Bush and Obama and that Trump did to destroy the jihadists. Why Trump doesn't wave that flag? I don't know. I don't know. Robert concierge member, Robert gets direct action. access to me. Why isn't President Biden concerned about his place in history? Come on. He can barely get out of bed in him. He can't process that. Jerry, concierge member, Jerry hope you

My bet one week. Yeah, I think one week they'll be back. Sure. No enforcement of anything in San Francisco. That's what you're going to get. Al, concierge members in the mail. They removed the homeless off the streets and sidewalks for a foreigner, but not for their own citizens. That should tell you something about the California political system. I wrote a message of the day about the exact same thing, Al. Bill O'Reilly.com. Messages of the day. Don't have to be a member of anything.

Just go there. And my column is posted. If you haven't read it, on the corrupt media, you should read that. Always good to check in with us at billowrally.com each day. Charles Briggs, Collierville, Tennessee. I agree the urchin should be working to teach them the value of financial discipline. My son did that. My grandson's 12 and 15 due yard maintenance, work hardness summers,

Bill Reimer, Lexington Park, Maryland, the honest truth is that the killing books have brought me, age 80, from no book reading to several per year. Thanks for improving my life, making history a good read again. You are welcome, Bill. Killing the Witches.

It's still a huge bestseller. I see the sales chart every day we are approaching 200,000 hardbacked books and sales. That is astronomical. Great gift. Really good. Not just about witches, but about our founding, Thanksgiving. It's about exorcism today. There's a lot of stuff in that book.

All the killing books. You'll love them. Particularly if you travel, listen to them in a car. Okay. Let's go to the Bill O'Reilly.com Hanukkah Christmas store. Hanukkah is what? December 8th, I believe, is coming up fast. If you give the gift cards for premium or concierge membership,

you've got to know people who are interested in hearing the news reported truthfully. That's the litmus test. You give them the gift card for the membership. They become members automatically. And you get a free book. Any book? Any killing book or even my older ones. Okay?

So if you give five gift cards to educated people, all right, you get five books. So that's 10 gifts, or you can keep the five books. This is the best deal I could possibly give. This is my present to you to save you money. I mean, come on, I do the math on this thing. Word of the day, do not be furtive. F-U-R-T-I-V-E. Fertive is not a good thing.

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town if you wish to opine. Right back with the final thought on what I'm having for turkey dinner. I just gave it away. What I'm having for dinner on Thanksgiving in a moment. All right, Thanksgiving menu being planned at the O'Reilly House. So listen to this.

I found a butterball turkey. Actually, I didn't, but the people who worked for me did. And they're an extension of me. 99 cents a pound. Butterball are the best. Okay? And so we grabbed that. I think we got close to 20 pounds.

That's a great price. So then I go down the menu items. You know, you've got to have the sweet potatoes. You've got to have the mashed potatoes. That's a lot of potatoes. Got to have the turnips. That's mine. Love those turnips.

Got to have the gravy. It's got to be done perfectly. But I'm putting it together for a pretty reasonable price. My goal is to put it together for the same price that I had five years ago. And I'm way ahead on a turkey now. And then we get the pies for dessert. You can get good deals. You just got to shop around on them because there are good deals. So the menu is getting put together. We're real happy about the turkey. See, I'm just like you. I'm no different than you. I do the same stuff you do. That's why I think I've been successful in this media business.

I'm just like a regular American. Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpin News. See tomorrow.
