Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, July 12, 2022, Tuesday, stand up for your country and live a smart life. That is our new theme here on the No Spin News, Live a Smart Life. We're going to define it at the end of the broadcast again. We did it last night. Got a lot of good tips. Tomorrow night we're going to give you some money saving tips. But in this very dubious, word of the day, dubious, atmosphere in America, we have to be smart

now. Can't be apathetic. We can't be lazy. You've got to be smart to protect yourself and your family. Now, being smart is going to put you a way. ahead of 95% of Americans? Not to say that they're dumb, but they're not focused on what's important. And we are. So one of the things that we will talk to you about in the future this summer and fall is avoiding blunders. And that is one of the things the Biden administration is

not doing. In fact, I have never seen so many blunders from an executive brand, in my lifetime that are happening now, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So the oil situation is the biggest blunder of the Biden administration. He's going to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, the president is, to talk to the sheikhs about pumping more oil. Can you imagine this? So five years ago, under Donald Trump, six years ago, the USA was energy independent. We didn't need to buy any energy anywhere because we were producing it. First day in office, Joe Biden comes in January 20th, 2021 and attacks the American energy industry. We all know this. He slaps regulations on it in harvesting oil, fracking, coal, everything in the name of

global warming. That sent a signal to the rest of the world that the the U.S. energy industry was going to decline, which it has. Therefore, the price worldwide of a barrel of oil went up and up and up. And that's why inflation exploded in the USA and other countries, because we're paying more to drive an automobile heat and cool our homes. And that affects everything. All right. We all got it. Biden 100% his fault, not Putin, not the oil companies, Biden. Okay, so now he has to go over to Saudi Arabia, a country he despises, as do most leftists in America, because it's a totalitarian state.

If they want to murder somebody, they murder somebody. He's got to go there and say, come, please, pump more oil. And then he's going to have to give the shake something to get. more oil. He'll get it. But we'll give them weapons or we'll give them whatever they want. And you'll never hear about that, what we give them. Okay, so Biden is desperate now. The Democratic Party is desperate because they see the numbers. 33% job approval in a New York Times for President Biden. Unheard of. But even the dimest of us, people who never will lead a smart life, No, he's screwing up.

The only people that are behind Biden are the zealots, the hard core. If they weren't hardcore leftists, they'd be moonies. Okay. So this is a catastrophe. And now people trying to defend Biden are looking like their clowns. Roll the tape. Your administration has blamed this on the, you know, the war, and that was certainly a big factor, but gas prices had gone up 50% already before the war.

So to me, that's half of the blame, not all the blame. Yeah, and what I'm saying about is when it comes to these sky-high gas prices, drivers are mad about it, I'm mad about it, the president's mad about it, oil company executives are thrilled because this is good news for them. Okay, so why didn't Neil Kavuto say, wait a minute. Oil company executives are thrilled. Well, that may be so, but they didn't gouge under Trump, did they? The oil companies didn't exploit oil under Trump because they couldn't because there was enough product. It's supply and demand. Now, Kavuto didn't do that. I can't tell you why it didn't do it. It's obvious that he should have.

and Buttigieg himself, Secretary of Transportation, under his watch, the airline industry's collapsed. He's done nothing. So Biden and Buda judge, they're compatible. We're not going to do anything, to solve anything. Okay. Just a reminder, last year, Trump's presidency, gasoline averaged $2.17 in this country. It's unbelievable. What is it? Five bucks now, it's going down a little bit now, all right? Because the futures market sees that OPEC is probably going to pump more, but we still pay at ridiculous prices for a gallon of gas to heat and cool your home. That's a memo. All right, the president's scheduled today. A. got busy day, 11.15 a.m. He met with Obrador, Mexico, total farce. Obrador is never going to do anything to help the United States. He doesn't like the United States.

At 4.30, there was a White House congressional picnic. I guess Obrador didn't get invited to that, but a picnic. I bet you one, I don't think any Republicans went. We'll find out tomorrow if any Republicans went at a picnic. And then 10 p.m., he goes to Israel for his Middle East jaunt. It's Israel first, then Saudi Arabia. Okay, so he'll be back. The president will be back on July 16th.

And that is, for the weekend, he's got to have the weekend in Delaware, so of course, come back for that. Now, this is such a catastrophe, the Biden administration is such a catastrophe that even CNN in the tank for Biden all day long, try to get him elected in every way possible. Okay, even CNN is challenging. Go. What was the president's response to a new poll from the New York Times today showing that 64% of Democrats say that they're, would prefer a different candidate in 2024. And I would also say from that very same poll, there were 92% of Democrats who support this president as well. Not true.

So she stands up there, this woman, and just lies. All right, here's the truth. 70% of Democrats approve, not 92%. All right? 25% disapproved, according to New York Times poll. 68% of independence, which is the key voting block now, disapproved. So Biden's toast. As I told you, you're not going to run again in 24.

I don't think he's going to make his first term out, as I've told you. I don't want to be repetitive here. Now, what was Ms. Jean-Pierre referring to with the 92% figure? Okay. She was referring to another question that said, said, if Biden runs against Trump, would you support Trump or Biden? That's the 92% that Ms. Jean-Bierre was referring to. But it had nothing to do with the question. So she misled the nation, Jean-Pierre did, and she could fall back on that question, Trump versus Biden.

You see what this is? This is propaganda. This is what they do. Isn't it a shame that the White House Press Secretary responsible for delivering honest information to the American public is dishonest? Isn't that a shame? Now, you may say they all do it. And to some extent, you're right. But not that. That's just blatant. Now, Ms. Collins, the White House correspondent for CNN, should have said, wait a minute. I got the poll right here and the 92% isn't the job approval rating. Why are you saying it is? But Collins can't do this. that because she works for CNN. And her liberal base would be outraged that she followed up. So she's dishonest. And maybe that's too harsh. Maybe that's too harsh on Caitlin Collins.

But she does, like Kubudo, they're not prepared for the dishonesty. I mean, Cabuto could have just slayed Buttigieg, slayed him, but he didn't. And Collins' easy follow-up, wait a minute, wait a minute, I have the poll right here, Madam Secretary, or whatever your caller. And at 70%, not 92, what are you talking about? Wouldn't do it, or wasn't smart enough to do it. See, this disturbs me as a journalist because you, the American people in general now, you'll get the truth here, but not everybody watches in those spin news to their detriment. Because they don't know what the deuce is going on because of the deception in the government and the incompetence slash deception in the media.

You combine it until you don't know what's going on. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free.

With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews, our reviews, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576, or text bill to 99-88-99. One guy who does know what's going on, who is a an honest man and i bring him on you know monthly now is doug shone so dog is a democrat political strategist long resume work for bill clinton and on and on and on um and he sees the destruction of the biden administration first ham he joins us now from new york city so in my talking points memo when i i did that to set you up did i go awry anywhere in your opinion no no the only thing i would

ad bill is in addition to giving up energy and dependence, which Biden has done, the Democrats have completely punted the immigration issue. The open borders are back. There's no movement towards tightening the borders if the judge the last week had not kept Title 42 in place. It would be even worse for Biden. But what I've read recently, which startles me, is they've come back to this build back better bill, which is a complete disaster, will fuel inflation, raise taxes, raise spending. Yeah, but that's never going to, not even going to get anywhere. You know that.

I mean, Connell never put it up before the election. Nobody will, and mansion in cinema wouldn't do it anyway. But the reason I didn't mention the border and other blunders is because I wanted to do a memo in the context of him going to Saudi Arabia. And in my opinion, the number one blunder is destroying the American. energy industry to the extent that it comes home to each American. And that, as you know, is going to be the overriding issue in the midterm election, correct? That plus prices at the grocery store. Yeah. It's put simply inflation and the inability of the Biden administration

to do anything about it, to have a plan for energy independence and for prices at the retail counter. Bill, it's an unmitigated disaster, and as his approval, the president gets close to or at 30 percent, we're looking to historic, historic levels of defeat for the Democrats in the midterm. I have said that over and over again, Joe Biden cannot process information. Now, you may see this differently, and if you do, I want your opinion. So I don't think that Biden lives in the real world. Now, he knows the poll numbers are low. He does.

They have to tell him that. I don't know how much they tell him, but he knows he's not doing well. But he doesn't correlate the global warming climate change, far left progressive movement with the destruction or the harm to the American industry, American energy industry. He doesn't see that. He thinks he's noble in trying to get the country away from fossil fuels, despite all the pain, despite all the economic pain. Would you say that's an accurate assessment of him? I would say it's an accurate assessment.

Put another way, we need more drilling. We need the Keystone pipeline. We need fracking. We need to have what we had under Donald Trump, which was effective energy independence. Okay, I know what we need, but Biden's mindset is not that. He's not going to bed every go, he's not going to bed every night going with, gee, and we need what Doug Schoen just said. He's going to bed go, I'm a saint because I'm advancing the cause of climate change.

That's what he's going to bed saying, right? And that is what ultimately is hurting him, hurting the American people, and will cost him potentially control of Congress. Okay. Now, in your latest column, and first tell everybody where they can read your columns, Doug. I am in the Hill every week. I am in the Orange County Register. Okay, Orange County Register every week.

Thehill.com. Yes, sir. You can read Doug. Now, you are very hard on Vice President Harris. You say that the woman is almost incapable of public speaking. Let's roll a tape on that. We'll analyze. When you look back, did Democrats fail past Democratic presidents,

congressional leaders to not codify Roe v. Wade over the past five decades? I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled. Clearly, we're not. No, that's right. And that's why I do believe that we are living, sadly, in real unsettled times. Okay, so she wouldn't hammer the Democratic Party for not codifying Roe v. Way, which wouldn't have done any good anyway, because the Supreme Court can throw out any law made by Congress. So it's ridiculous. The whole argument is stupid. But if Joe Biden resigns, and again, I give him a 30% chance in 2003 to quit because of health reasons, then she becomes president. And you say that would be a disaster as well. It would be a disaster for the reasons the viewers saw just now. She can't answer a simple question about whether something should be a law or not.

She didn't really appear to know or have an opinion. And bottom line, she was a disaster when she was handling the border. They've kept her under wraps. Her staff is departing one seems to go every week or two. there is nothing that she has contributed that has worked out well for Joe Biden. That's for sure. Now, final question for you, Democrats, liberals, the media, all want Donald Trump to announce he's running for president in 24 as soon as possible because they believe that would re-energize a Democratic Party and maybe not, maybe stave off a disaster in November. How do you see that?

Midterm elections are invariably a referendum on the incumbent party. Given that Biden's ratings are approaching 30 percent, I understand the argument, but rejected. That is yes, Trump is front and center with the January 6 hearings if he announced it would give the Democrats a focal point. But people are going to vote yea or nay on Biden and his performance, not on Donald Trump. Okay, but there are, in my opinion, Democrats who will stay home in November. They won't pull a lever for Republicans because they're fed up with what's happening in a country. They'll just stay home. But if there's some Democrats who will vote Republican because what's going on now is unsustainable.

Some, but voting blocks like African Americans, Hispanics are going to go over to the GOP side, But African-Americans, things like that, they may just say, look, I'm getting hammered. I'm not going to go vote at all. I mean, it's speculation. But if Trump's in, if Trump announces those people who might stay home who still hate him, and that's a lot of people, might come out. That's my point. And that's certainly possible.

Yes, Bill. Okay. Doug Joan, everyone, again, catches stuff at the Orange County Register. It's a newspaper in California and on the Hill. Thank you, Doug. Okay, so, sure. I want to remind you all about, was it, 85% of the American press endorsed Joe Biden?

Have you heard a, sorry? I haven't. And then some very, very big names also endorsed Biden, but they're kind of silent now, will it take? The kind of leadership that's guided by knowledge, and experience. Honesty and humility. Empathy and grace. That kind of leadership doesn't just belong in our state capitals and mayor's offices. It belongs in the White House. And that's why I'm so proud to endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States. The values I learned growing up in the

South Bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that Joe Biden's parents instilled in him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I support Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him and we need to restore those values to the White House. I have never publicly endorsed a presidential candidate or a vice presidential candidate in my life over my career. So I figured let's kick this conversation off this way

by me officially publicly endorsing you both to become press. president and vice resident of our great country. Oh, that's fantastic. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That's incredible. It's a great deal with us, for real. All right. I don't mind people endorsing people. I never do.

My old adage is if I endorse somebody, then the next day they'll be in prison. Okay, so I'm not endorse anybody. It's my job to watch them all. Watch every single one of them so they don't hose you. So Obama, Powell, the right, Powell, The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. It's a catastrophe. Are you sorry you endorsed Joe Biden? Right? I mean, now, Cole and Powell passed away, so that can't happen.

Obama, he knows what a screw-up Biden was and is, but he'll never admit it. But the Rock, you know, I mean, I'd love to see a statement. I met him one time, very a gentleman. you had a good conversation with him not a not a crazy guy i could have given you the crazy people uh it's look when you have a party the democrats allied with the corporate media that's powerful and they screwed up there Biden is is going to continue to hurt all of us things are not going to get better here he cannot govern end of story but it isn't the end of the story Okay. Now, because of all of this bad news, Americans, some of them, are just receding, all right? This is from Axios, which is a website. Okay? So, this is data compared at first half of 2022 to last year, 2021. Social media interaction with news articles down 50%. Wow, that's a good thing. So people are not lapping up the propaganda on the Internet anymore. Cable news.

prime time viewership down 19%. Now Fox News is maintaining, but the others are collapsing. And unique visit to top five news sites on the internet again down 18%. So the percentage of respondents to a Reuter Institute annual digital news report said they avoid news now this year, 42% avoid it. That's not smart. That's not living a smart life. living a smart life. Now, I understand that most of what you hear and see is not true. And that distresses me, I can't even tell you how much it does. But if you recede, you're going to get hammered worse. So spread the word about the no-spin news. We have millions of people around

the world. It's a worldwide broadcast now. We have them on TV. We have them on the radio. We have them in print. Bill O'Reilly.com is our nexus. That's where I live. live, spread the world. So here is a terrible story, but it's epitomizes the progressive leadership. So the other day in New York City, two guys were nailed with $1.2 million worth of meth amphetamine. If you know anything about meth, it ruins people's lives, like heroin, cocaine, fentanyl. All right, it's a horrible, horrible drug. A 1.2 million. Louis Estrada, 19 years old, Carlos Santos, 34 years old, picked up by the authorities, immediately released no bail, New York State. Now, they're suspected cartel members. They're never coming back.

1.2 million worth of methamphetamine. They walk. This is why New York City is in such distress. Yes, why violent criminals are running wild. This is insane. Now, let's follow up to the two guys arrested for carrying 150,000 fentanyl pills in California. Fentanyl kills, all right? Jose Zendejas, 25, Benito Madrigal, 19. There they are. 150,000 fentanyl pills.

released without bail into Lari County, California. Okay? Here's what I said on June 29. They let them go with no bail. The woman who did it is named Mickey Versi V-E-R-I-S-I-M-O to Warrie County Court Commissioner. She ordered them released, no bail. Now, this is madness. this should be a crime what this woman did not should be these people are going to skip and they

have they're gone so the court set a bail at 2.15 million okay after they examined the evidence did it take that long June 29th to where are we now uh July 12th you take that long to examine 150,000 fentanyl pills. So they went to pick these guys up. They're gone. And they'll never come back. They're cartel members. You idiots? California, Illinois, New York, the worst. Top to bottom. And again, people killed. They're getting people killed. Can you imagine this? Heavyweight dope dealers? Go ahead. Just skip. And they know they're not. coming back. They know it. They let them go. Oh, my God. And that's a country we live in today. You want this to continue? Progressive left candidates shouldn't get one vote. They should be shut out.

No one should vote for them. Heat wave. I don't usually do weather stories because here in New York City, the largest local news market in the country where I used to work at WCBS, Channel 2, when it was local news was powerful back then. Now it's weather. Here's a weather guy. Wait, wait, wait. It's three minutes into the newscast there's a weather guy. So the local news is all weather now. But this is pretty startling. So the heat wave in the center of the country in the southwest. I used to live in Denver. Denver International Airport reported a hundred degrees on July 9th, three days ago. Austin, Texas, 106 degrees. Waco, Texas, 108. Tulsa, Oklahoma, 105. Now, when I lived in Dallas, it was so hot in the summer, and I had never been to Texas.

It was a northeastern. I was a Yankee. I went down to work at WFAA TV in Dallas. And the summer, I couldn't believe it. I didn't have a great. garage, my car, and it was out. And I opened the door, and I scalded my hand. First time, you know, I think it was in late May. It was unbelievable. And my apartment complex had a pool and you couldn't go in the pool. The water was too hot. I've never seen heat like that, ever. And I lived in Miami. I taught high school in Miami. But Miami wasn't nearly as hot. It's Texas. Now, they go, it's a dry heat. Oh, yeah, okay.

Dry heat will kill you just as much as wet heat. All right, so those are the temperatures in those places. Now, there's also a tremendous drought. They call it exceptional drought. And here are the six states most affected by the exceptional drought. They don't have any water. New Mexico, number one, New Mexico is always a dry state, but now desperate for water. Arizona number two, and in Maricopa County, the Phoenix area, there's a lot of people there.

Okay. Utah, Nevada, all in that belt, it goes Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California, drought, and Oregon. Now, Oregon is usually rainy because I lived in Oregon. I lived everywhere. K-A-T-U-T-T-V. But now there's a drought there. So is it climate? change? Yeah. And we're going to get into that tomorrow, by the way. What's real and what's not about climate change? Yeah. I mean, it's world's warming, but to destroy nations' economies on speculative solutions is insane, and we'll prove it tomorrow. All right, so this day in history, July 12th, 1962, a British rock group performed at a small club called the Marquis Jazz Club in London, England. Who were those guys way back then 60 years ago? Roll the tape.

That's what I said I can't get no tea It's the most successful touring Rolling Stones. They're still touring 60 years, the most successful touring band in history. Beatles are more successful recording. Rolling Stone, the most successful touring band.

I've seen them a couple of times. Um, so 60 years ago, Jagger was 18, Keith Richards, 18. And they were, uh, childhood buddies. And they got together. They formed a band. And, uh, they had 240 million records purchased. 240 million records purchased. All right. 67 million albums sold in the USA alone. And, uh, according to celebrity net worth, which isn't reliable. but this probably is. Both Richards and Jagger are worth, each worth, $500 million. Whoa. So they're still on the road in Europe giving their little concerts. They're not little, but zipping around. Jagger is 78 years old, Keith Richards, 78 years old, Ronnie Wood, the three originals in the band now, 75.

And, you know, Jagger, I don't particularly like him. as a person I'm not going to get into it but I look at him as a role model if that guy can do at 78 what he's doing I can do it

because I'm in better shape than he is and there's a committee named John Malaney this is a good tip for you so Malaney used to be a writer for Saturday Night Live and Jagger appeared on that program Malaney's bit on Mick Jagger, you Google John Malaney dash Mick Jagger, hysterical. I mean, I don't laugh out a lot a lot.

I watch it three times. It is hysterical. And then you'll know why I'm not a big Jagger fan personally. But you got to give it to the stone 60 years ago today, they started. Okay. So a good meal segment, and then we got a smart life. final thought that I think is going to help your life, and we'll be right back.

Charles is on the message board. If you are a Bill O'Reilly.com subscriber, either premium or concierge, concierge is a step up because you get direct access to me,

then you can go to the message board. and interact with, you know, thousands and thousands of other concierge and premium members. It's fun. You know, we monitor, and a lot of good stuff on a message board. Another reason become a premium member. So Charles says, I was amazed that corporate moguls like Mark Zuckerberg would finance the election of Democrats. Most modern Democrats think capitalism is evil, and rich guys like Zuckerberg do not pay their fair share. Can you explain the apparent contradiction? I can, Charles. Good question. So Zuckerberg has so much money, it doesn't matter, how high he's taxed, or how much they take from him.

It doesn't matter. He can't spend it in his lifetime. It's impossible to spend the money that Zuckerberg has. Now, his social set, including his wife, they're all ardent liberals. Okay? That's what they do. That's who they are. So, in order for him to maximize his social potential, that is, parties, yachts, invitations

to Hollywood, all of that, he has to be an ardent liberal. And by kicking $400 million into Democratic precincts in the election of 2020, his cred goes way up in the liberal world, which is what he cares about. Money doesn't matter to him any longer. If you donate $400 million to get Biden elected, you don't care about money. Darrell, O'Reilly, you continually present polls that have Biden's approval rating in the 30s. I heard on conservative radio that a recent poll showed 65% of college graduates with advanced degrees approve of the job Biden is doing. What does this indicate about college graduates with advanced degrees, that they're indoctrinated?

That's what it is. There aren't very many Americans, numbers-wise, that have master's and PhDs. It's a small number, small group. But they're ingrained in the system on campus, which is progressive. Darrell, that was Darrell. I was going to read your letter again. It was so good, Darrell. Nancy, good column on bill o'Reilly.com, very true.

But please stop saying that 80 million people, voted for Joe Biden. That official number indicates many fraudulent votes. Whatever the real number is, yes, people who voted for Biden were clueless. Look, the column is on clueless Americans, but Nancy, the historical record will show that Joe Biden received 80 million votes. I am a historian. in. Why would I not say what the historical record will show? And it's not going to change unless Donald Trump is re-elected. That's the only way it could change. Because if he goes back into the Oval Office for a second non-contecutive term like Grover Cleveland, he can order up a special investigation using federal power to examine a 2020 election. That is the only way the 80 million

number would change. Fred Manjini, Fred Mangini, Torrance, California. Bill, I check out real clear politics. It looks like the 2022 elections. The House will go Republicans, Senate's a toss-up. Would Nancy Pelosi be out? Yeah, it's not going to be Speaker anymore. I don't. I don't. I wouldn't expect that she would resign, but I don't think she'd run again if she was a speaker, but I could be wrong. I mean, Nancy likes the power. Cindy Elliott, Butler, Pennsylvania, Bill, would it be legal for Barack Obama to run for president in 2024? No. Nope. Constitution now says two terms. That's it. Paulette Summerhalter, Emerson, New Jersey, Bill, on one of your programs last week, you were talking about electric cars and how interested you were in that. From previous

programs, it sounded like you were against electric cars and the Green New Deal. What happened? Nothing happened. I was never against electric cars. I just said, I can't plug them in because I can't put gas in my car. I'm not mechanically inclined. When they make the electric cars so I could understand them and do it easily, I would consider buying one. Okay? And I have always been an environmentalist, an ardent environmentalist, always. But the Green New Deal destroys economies. Come on. So I can't support that, but a cleaner planet, cleaner oceans, cleaner drinking water, absolutely want it. If we could get rid of the fossil fuels, that would be good. But you can't do it unless you have a viable replacement. Mary Jane, Jamar. I'm sorry, Mary Jane. I know

I'm going to get your last name wrong. Gia Commetto. I think I think I'm I got it. Mary Jane Gia Commetto, Rapid City, South Dakota. Why is it legal for George Soros to buy politicians to pursue his radical agenda? Because you can donate money to politicians, unlimited money, if you give it to political action committees. It's the law. Sores has got a battery of lawyers looking out all this stuff. He's not violating the law. Anthony Pistachio, Wappenger's Falls, New York, isn't dog and pony show a cliche, O'Reilly? Yes, it is. It's a cliche. day. Sometimes I use it as shorthand. Okay. Kathy Schilling, Loomis, California. I enjoyed your story about you taking the kids to breakfast and I understand your message, but maybe it's time to let them treat you once in a while. Look, both my kids work. They have to work, but I'm not taking their money. They earn their money. They can pay some of their bills and whatever, but I'm not

They don't have to treat them. I'm a good dad, I think, I hope. All right, look, killing the killers still rolling along, two and a half months in the marketplace. You know, I hope you read it because you will learn a tremendous amount. We're going to have a special coming up at the end of July about terrorism and a threat to us. Killing and killers, you know, and it's, you won't be able to put it down. So it's, I hate to use the word enjoyable when talking about terrorism, but it'll hold your interest. It's not a tough book to read. Word of the day, do not objurgate.

O-B-J-U-R-G-A-T-E, objurgate. We don't want to do that. Back with the final thought on a smart life in a moment. 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, lawmakers, 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 I told you yesterday we have a new segment on Bill O'Reilly.com that we're going to extend a radio and television called Live a Smart Life. Okay? And we're going to use your tips.

And I just got one that I just want to tell you about. This is from Marion on a message board. And she says, basically, when you go into a restaurant, if you buy a beverage, as we discussed yesterday. I'm going to search it from $3 to $12. If you buy an expensive cocktail, it's going to be 12. If you're buying a soda or coffee, it's going to be three. Okay, so if you've got a family of five or six in there, you can do the map. So what Marion does, and what I do, too, she orders a nice tall glass of water that's free in most American restaurants. Now, in Europe, they charge her for water, but not here yet. And then she gets sliced lemons, which they'll give you free,

squeeze the lemons in the water and puts a dab of sweetener or sugar in it and you've got a lemonade that's what marion does i that's pretty good idea i don't need the i like the lemon in but i don't need the sugar or the sweetener and i like the water the water's better for you anyway so that'll save you a lot of money and and that's living a smart life another one i got was before you go to a restaurant punch up the restaurant's name and website and the menu will come up and know what you're getting into. Because all the prices will be on the internet before you go, you can see it all.

And calibrate what's worth it or not. So I got spaghetti and clam sauce last night at my local place, and they really do it well. They raise the price. $3 on it. Still worth it. Still worth it to get it because I like spaghetti and red clam sauce.

I like the white too, but I get the red there. But I got a big glass of water and I got a little menstrual soup for the vegetables. It was a great meal. It didn't kill me. Didn't kill me. Live the smart life. We'll have these segments periodically. I'd say two, three times a week. All right. And we have them listed on bill o'Reilly.com so you can read them every day. Thank you for watching and listening to the NOSPN News. We'll see tomorrow.
