Hey Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, June 2nd, 2025, stand up for your country.
Well, millions of people all over the world followed by Marco Polo adventures to Japan, South Korea, and especially China.
Got back late Saturday nights, a little woozy across the international date,
line, you don't know what day it is, what time it is. But I have a lot to report from the nine-day
trip to you tonight. And I hope you read my Sunday column and the messages of the day today and
last Friday, because I don't want to be redundant. I go into detail there, so if you didn't
read them, you can read them after this, and everything will come into focus. This was an
extraordinary journey, one that I did not anticipate, and that is the subject of this evening's
talking points memo. So I got a call, I don't know, six weeks ago, from a friend of mine at
Harvard. And he said, you're going to China? And I said, yeah, how do you know? And he said,
because the Chinese government just called me. Now, why would they do that? Because Beijing,
King puts a lot of people in the Kennedy School at Harvard where I received a master's degree.
And they do a lot of business, China, with Harvard.
Very prestigious for a Chinese government official to attend Harvard University.
So they keep an eye on things, and they knew that I was an alumni.
Now, how did they know I was going to China?
Because I made a reservation at the Four Seasons Hotel across an American
embassy, and everybody who's from America that goes in there, the Chinese government knows
within two hours. Isn't that interesting? China is the most intense surveillance state
this world has ever seen by far. And I document that in my column. And again, I hope you
you read it. So anyway, the offer was we would like Mr. O'Reilly to come to Beijing,
to do a seminar, a question and answer with some Chinese government officials who are very worried
about the second Trump administration. So I said, okay, because that's my job, right?
My job is to look out for you by being a journalist and assembling facts and also to look out for
my country. So I'm going in, and I did. It worked out,
great. The Chinese are very, very respectful to me, and the rules were simple. Everything was
off the record in the sense that no quotations and no names mentioned except mine, which is all right
with me. They videotaped the entire, it was close to two hours. But if they use it, any of it,
then I get to use it too. That's the deal we have. And I do believe they will
adhere to that deal. The reason they taped it was there were even bigger shots watching this
on closed circuit. Okay. Now, when I go in, I tell the truth, but I was not as bellicose as I can
be. And I told them I wouldn't be. I said, I'm not here to debate you on policy. That's not
what I'm here to do. You want to know something about the USA or President Trump. I
I will answer your question.
If I don't know the answer, I will tell you.
But I'm not debating.
So tariffs and all that, not my job to debate.
My job is to tell you what's happening in America, which I did.
They accepted that.
And they asked good questions.
But it took a turn when I said, I have a proposal for you,
which I've been working on for a while,
and it's called the Partnership for Peace and Prosperity.
between the United States and China.
And I laid it out, and they were stunned.
I said, if the United States and China were to ally together
and control the crazies of the world, Iran, Putin,
other insane things, North Korea,
if we were to establish an economic partnership
that led to stability,
that would be an unbelievable thing.
Now, most Americans do not know that China and the United States is the most important story
by far in the world.
You mentioned China, their eyes glaze over, they don't pay attention, they want to hear
about Puff Daddy, they don't know.
This is by far the most important story for you because what happens,
with the United States and China will influence how much money you get and how much money
you will keep.
And it is a life and death situation.
Again, it is not my job to make policy for the Trump administration, but I laid out a pathway
where both countries could work together.
I did inform President Trump I was going, and yesterday I debriefed him from the
for 30 minutes on the telephone.
That was off the record, I cannot tell you what I said,
but he got pretty much everything you're gonna get,
including the columns.
And the president listened very intently
and asked very good questions,
which he always does when I talk to him.
And I'm not patronizing anybody, I'm telling you the truth.
Anyway, by far the most important thing
to the Chinese government is Taiwan, not the tariffs,
and not the day-to-day, you violated this,
you can't have Chinese students, this is that.
Now, all that can be taken care of,
Taiwan is the big one.
And I basically said after they came at me with Taiwan,
and I said, look, the United States government
under President Trump is not going to let you invade Taiwan
take it over without a brutal, and I mean that literally, a brutal reprisal.
Donald Trump does not want to look like a weakling, he doesn't want to look like President
Biden. And this was interesting. The Chinese government had no use for Biden at all,
calling him weak and unfocused. No use. They're happy if Trump's in there because they think
they might be able to get some deals out of this.
Now, when I was driving around China,
because we went up to the Great Wall,
and all the pictures were on Bill O'Reilly.com,
I didn't see one American car.
My son saw a couple.
I didn't see any in Japan.
I didn't see any in South Korea.
So that whole tariff thing is real.
There's no cars for Americans in there.
And China's 1.5 billion people,
five times our population.
Now, a lot, I'm going to read you some questions coming up.
A lot of people don't understand why the Chinese people allow this surveillance communist state
because they have never for one day known freedom in their entire history.
China has never known a day of freedom.
It's exactly the same thing in the Revolutionary War, and 50% of the country,
colonists, the Americans, supported the king. It drove George Washington crazy. And John
Hancock and Samuel Adams, they couldn't get the Tories, they were called, to support the
revolution. Because those people never knew a day of freedom. They were under the king in
England. They'd come over here. We've got freedom. What's freedom? In Beijing, the concept is just,
They don't have a free press.
They don't see every single thing is controlled.
When you are born in China, you get an ID card.
You have to carry the ID card in your diaper.
Okay?
If you don't have it and the authorities stop you, you're arrested.

Every Chinese has to carry an ID card every second of every day.
And that's just a start of it.
They confiscated two of my pens for no reason.
Woman was about 22, goes, I'm taking your pens.
In Chinese, I had a translator.
I said, why?
I'm a journalist.
What am I going to write with?
Took the pen for no reason.
And I'm that small ball, but just give you an idea.
So anyway, on a Taiwan thing, I gave them, I said,
this can be worked out.
The year, 2049, is the 100th,
anniversary of Mao Zetung's takeover, communist takeover.
That's when the government wants Taiwan in the fold, but they're going to have to carve out
autonomy for Taiwan, for the West to go along with it.
It's doable, hard, very hard, tariffs are hard, all this is hard.
Okay, so I got a bunch of mail.
Richard, Chinese government, not trustworthy, okay.
They've been lying, cheating, and stealing for decades.
I find it interesting that you would propose a deal that would allow them to jointly police the world.
Your proposal sounds a lot like a one world government laid out in the book of Revelations.
Okay, look, Richard, if you want to be a pinhead and say, we're not dealing with the Chinese because we don't trust them,
then you're going to have World War III.
Come in, get ready, get your food, get your bunker.
Barry, Taiwan will make a break, a point of closure cooperation between China and USA.
They're enthusiastic response for you when you said a closer partnership may be necessary
was a good sign. I live in Saipan. That's Japan territory. Barry. I don't know if they were
enthusiastic about me, but they weren't bored. They listened.
Nancy, California. During your recent trip to China, you spoke with the heads of the Chinese
Communist Party in an effort to obtain a close relationship with the U.S.
The state of the Chinese wanted most was the annexation of Taiwan, which is a free country.
Are you willing to sell out Taiwan? I'm not selling out anybody. I'm trying to get an arrangement.
I'm trying to avert World War III. That's what I'm trying to do.
Arrangement could be made.
Andrea Malkuso, Carrollton, Texas,
regarding your off-the-record trip to China,
you allowed to discuss the Q&A with President Trump.
No.
When I talk to the president, this, you know,
I said this is off-the-record.
Now, the Chinese knew I was talking to Trump,
because I told them that up top.
I tell everybody up front.
They knew.
I said, what happens here is going back to ham.
Richard. I thank God every day I was born in the USA, greatest country. Fortunately,
a politician and radical activists in the country who would love to have totalitarianism.
China is not the only country guilty of this oppression. True, but it's way beyond anything.
I was in Spain when Franco was there, a bit of Cuba, Romania when the Soviets ran it. Not close.

Far Left could learn

and two
about the

as far as
as social order
goes
yeah
and San Francisco
was big
I wrote about
that in the

they're appalled
they go
what is this

have relatives
living in

I go
this is
progressivism
this is what
happens
okay
Bill O'Reilly
here
I recently
sat down
with President Trump in Florida, and I can tell you he is laser focused on helping Americans
prosper during a second term. That's why I have joined forces with Alexander Green, Chief
Investment Strategist at the Oxford Club, for a special presentation called The Rebirth of the
American Dream. In this groundbreaking event, you will discover why Donald Trump's policies
could trigger an economic boom, how the AI revolution could help create more millionaires and
at any other time in history.
Details on six specific stocks
that could soar during Trump's presidency
and most importantly,
how you can achieve the American Dream.
Now, I followed Alex's work
from more than 20 years,
and he spotted some of the best performing stocks
off our time.
So please don't miss this opportunity.

The day after I left,
there was an announcement
Secretary of State Marco Rubio that some Chinese students would be deported. Big mistake.
I haven't heard much about it. So maybe they're pulling back. You don't insult your adversary.
Just like you don't insult Putin. Okay. That gets you nowhere if you want peace. Okay.
That's not helpful in the big picture. And then at MIT,
There was a nut, Megha Vermorei, who gave the president of senior class, MIT.
And then she gets up there and bashes Israel. Rolled tape.
Last spring, MIT's undergraduate body and graduate student union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military.
You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
And you stood in solidarity with the pro-Palestine activists on campus.
You face threats, intimidation, and suppression coming from all directions,
especially your own university officials.
But you prevailed because the MIT community that I know would never tolerate a genocide.
All right, you know, radical love people, genocide, blah, blah, blah.
MIT is not letting her graduate with everybody else, and they're trying to punish her like that.
But they had to know she was going to do that because she's a known radical.
This sounds like I personally requested to analyze my utterings about China because I think
he's one of the smartest guys in the country and he's an honest man as well.
He's Victor Davis-Hanson.
You know him.
He's a syndicated columnist.
He works at the Hoover Institution, which is on the campus of Stanford University, right?
Professor, that's where you're at Hoover is, right?
Okay.
So you know, you know, and there are tons, one of the, there was only one woman.
in the um and these were hard men by the way in the in the room where i gave this seminar about
14 of them 13 men one woman who was a stanford grad um very articulate woman powerful woman
um the other guy she she put the other guys to shame um because she understood a little bit about
the flow in and out of the USA where the a lot of them didn't they really you know they were
very hard core Maoists. Anyway, you've read my column, you listen to my obloviating here,
what say you? Well, I think China has a, if you compare the cold, if we were in a cold war,
and a lot of people think we are, and you compare that to the Soviet Union 50 years, China has
a very different place in the relationship of the United States. We had no Soviet students here. We had
no trade agreements.
It was a Cold War.
But I would like to see more of a normalization
of what I think is kind of an aberrant.
We have 300,000 students.
At Stanford, we just have a series of Stanford review articles
revealing that there was an organized espionage group of students.
We had a member of the People's Liberation Army
on the faculty as a visiting neuro-scientist
about four years ago that confirmed
Confucius Institute was shut down.
The DeVos of First Term Trump Department of Education fined Stanford for not reporting a lot of
contributions.
So I guess what I'm saying, Bill, is that the view of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton
and George W. Bush, and to a greater extent, Obama, that the more engagement you have
with China, they were going to be impressed.
with American culture tolerance, and they were going to become emulate us, and then they would...
That's not happening.
No, it's not happening.
It's not happening.
So I think the Trump position was that we had given them a sense of appeasement or laxity,
and our magnanimity was reciprocated by taking advantages of rather than reciprocity.
And I think right now we're in a period where...
When you look at China, they're building three or four nuclear warheads a month,
and they plan to get up to about 1,2005 years.
They have violated that we don't have much success with them on copyrights, patents, dumping the product, currency manipulation.
I would like to think that maybe Hong Kong would have been an example for Taiwan,
but when you look what's happened to Hong Kong,
Johnny Lai, Jimmy Lies in prison,
and they pretty much suppress a free speech.
So I guess what I'm saying is because of World War II
and we have a large Chinese population here,
there was a natural empathy for closer relationships.
And it wasn't the Cold War Truman Eisenhower Cold War.
There was a real opportunity,
Americans thought, to reach out to China
and to give them indulgences.
that we didn't, other countries that we had been.
Yeah, it worked for a little while.
It worked for a little while, but then she got in and she is, you know,
she's personal legacy is tied in with Taiwan.
Do you believe, I said that I came up with this partnership for prosperity and peace?
And the reason that I did is because China has to feed $1.5 billion.
They're hurting.
their economy needs the United States that is the big leverage we have over them and they are willing to make a deal i believe
do you believe that i think they're willing to make a deal in the economic realm because they're
suffering kind of a historic phenomenon that the more they have upward mobility rather than the
population being satisfied it's just a human trait human nature they're they're even more
ambitious for a better life and it's very hard to fulfill the expectations of the
Chinese growing middle class because they're not spending what they should on
domestic health care yeah it's all military stuff yeah it's all military
belt there but there's Spartans over there but yeah what I saw I tested them a
couple of times I said you're not going to get anywhere with Trump because it was
all Trump centric you know you gave a very logical and good
historical analysis. That's not what they're interested in. They're interested in Trump, okay?
And I said, the first thing you have to do is knock out the fentanyl. Okay, and you know you have to
knock it out. And they go, well, we are, but the precursor, I said, I don't want to hear a precursor.
And remember that this was translated. You know, they had the little things and because half the room
spoke English, half didn't, but the instant translation. I said, I don't want to hear precursor.
You don't need fentanyl. You don't need any of it. Knock it out. Give it.
President Trump, that. That's where you start. You don't need to be in bed with Putin. And I warned
them about Putin. I said, you can try to be his friend, but he'll turn on you like a snake.
You don't need to be cutting up to the Mullers. Okay. United States will supply your energy needs
in a much more benign way. They could not answer any of those things, Professor. None.
And I just laid it out. I said, you're going to, if you're going to consort with bad,
bad guys, evil guys, and that's what the label you're going to get.
Why do you need it? You don't need it. It doesn't help you.
And that was the thrust of the 90 minutes.
I'm doing to my family, because we're going to Burlington for the event of
liquidation candidate. We're going to now
to find the best of the best in articles of liquidation,
from rope, to decoration of the home, and much more.
With offers, over-offertas.
I can't go every day to see how to earn.
My kids and I
We're going to ask
The liquidation
Because it's

OxiClean Maxforce
It's not clean
Unless it's OxyClean
Yeah I think the trumpet
And I can't speak for them
And you know them better
than I do
But I think they're in this narrow Soviet Russia, China, American relationship, they're trying to have a Kissinger paradigm where China is no better friend to Russia than it is to us.
Russia is no better friend or enemy, whatever, to China than it is to us and triangulate and check power.
Because they have historic animosities, China and Russia.
Oh, yeah.
And for some reason, the Ukrainian, I think we're in a period of a real problem because they're,
they are in an alignment, but it's going to be very hard for any Chinese communist leader,
as it is for Putin in a dictatorial, but even more so I think when you have an
totalitarian ideology. Putin is kind of like a dictator that makes it up as he goes along
ideologically, but whether it's Iran that is ideological and totalitarian or China,
it's very hard for those leaders to compromise their ideology.
because they have a whole group of people surrounding them
that don't respond to the same incentives
as either Western democracies or dictatorships where they...
I'll tell you why, there wasn't a lot of love
for Putin or Iran in that room.
They don't care about the Ukraine, the Chinese,
and they don't care about the closet.
Okay, but there wasn't a lot of love.
Let's pivot to the attack by the Trump administration
on the universities.
We all know the indoctrination across the country
at Harvard, at Stanford, you know, the finest educational institutes have basically set themselves
up as progressive left institutions. And that's what Trump is trying to break down, and he's
using a hammer to do it. Can you predict the outcome?
Yeah, I think they're going to have to cut a deal with them. It's analogous bill to illegal
immigration. The left keeps saying that there's no criminals here. We don't have a problem.
And then almost every day we have an illegal immigrant that kills somebody or which we saw in Colorado commits a terrorist act.
The universities have so many things that are so antithetical to the public.
And for years, Stanford, Harvard, they had been charging the federal government anywhere from 45 to 55% surcharges on individual grants.
That was about $190 million in annual income from Stanford.
Now they've got to go down to 15%.
For years, they have defied the last three years of Supreme Court decision on the end of affirmative action and basically racial preference.
They have, but they have self-righteous euthanism, so we call it auxiliary graduations, a theme house.
But basically there's segregated dorms, segregated by race graduation ceremonies.
If you are accused of sexual harassment, they do not give you, and that was Title IX, that came from the Obama Amendment.
where they said you will not give them beyond reasonable a doubt or you're going to lose federal funds.
So the defendant can't face as accuser. They know that that's a violation of the Constitution.
They also know that the Chinese government, and especially gutter, have been giving them aggregate $50 billion.
And that has really affected our foreign policy because for a generation now people coming out of these graduate programs have taken classes.
as they've experienced professors that were subsidized by these two governments.
And so I could go on, but there's a lot of, anti-Semitism is endemic.
At Stanford, we had a 900-page report by liberal professors.
It's one of the most damning documents I've ever seen.
So they don't want to get in a fight with Trump
because they have so much exposure at that culpability.
They charge 110% for foreign students.
They've got a third of the student body.
Yeah, it's all about money.
But the ideology, they won't even pull back at Harvard.
They acknowledge that 80% of the hires are progressives.
Maybe there's five conservative teachers.
They wouldn't even acknowledge that's wrong.
And so I'm basically hoping that, you know, Trump is going to win this.
Yeah, Trump has all the cards.
The recent Gallup poll said public support was 65% confidence in higher education.
But driving the media nuts, oh, they hate it.
It's down to 30%.
And Trump has, he's looking at taxing the endowment income.
Oh, yeah, he's going to go everywhere.
That's Miller, by the way.
Yeah, they're going to have to cut a deal with him.
I hope so.
He'll win that, I think.
And I think that if she and Trump get in the building together, that they'll cut some deals
there too. Thank you, Professor. We really appreciate your expertise and thanks for putting up with
me. I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, Boulder, that guy who attacked an anti-Semitic guy,
Mohammed Sabri, sold him on, overseed his visa, and then did the Biden con, oh, I want asylum,
and the Biden people said, sure, they kept him in the country. It's just so bad. I can't tell you how bad
Biden was. And once again, the Chinese had no use for him at all. None. Okay. But here's what I said about
Biden's not enforcing immigration law. And I said this on June 12th, 24, about a year ago. Go.
Do I believe there are terrorists here right now plotting to kill us? Yes. Do I believe they came
across the open border between the USA and Mexico? Yes, I do. That's why I would never, under any
circumstances even consider voting for Joe Biden?
And you're going to see more, unfortunately, of people who were here got in under Biden
failing to obey the law, and boom.
Just a note to my producers, we'll do the sanctuary city tomorrow.
Want to spend a little time on that.
The Trump administration put out a list of sanctuary counties and cities that they're going
after.
We'll do it tomorrow.
along with Washington, D.C. is receding now, saying,
well, maybe we don't want to be a sanctuary place.
PBS, NPR, are suing Trump because Trump says,
we're not going to give you $55 billion anymore.
It's exactly the same as the universities, exactly the same.
So PBS and NBR are just left wing, and we're paying for it.
No.
No.
Now they say, oh, well, we're going to see you because it's a violation of our freedom of speech.
And then the loopy person who runs NPR, Catherine Marr, says this, go.
The former NPR editor, Yuri Berliner, he accused the network of having what he called a lack of viewpoint diversity.
How do you respond to those critiques?
Well, I first of all respond by saying we're a nonpartisan news organization.
We seek to be able to provide a range of different viewpoints in terms of who we bring on air, the stories that we tell.
It's just, well, you know, I.
It really is.
She knows what she's saying isn't true.
Okay?
I don't know whether she's losing a bubble or not.
I don't care.
But anybody who listens to NPR or watches PBS,
anybody, five years old, you would know.
Ukraine attacked Russian aircraft within Russia,
five different bases,
blew up a whole bunch of planes,
another embarrassment for Putin.
Doesn't really care.
And is Istanbul, Ukraine things,
living nowhere?
I don't know if Trump can get Putin.
I think Putin may be so psychologically damaged at this point.
I'm not sure.
But my thrust in Beijing was, don't get in bed with Putin.
Things are not going to end well for Putin.
You heard it here.
New York City has an epidemic of thugs, violent thugs attacking police.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobil.
Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.
So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills.
But it turns out that's very illegal.
So there goes my big idea for the commercial.
Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.
A brunt payment of $45 for three-month plan equivalent to $15 per month required.

Big headline in New York Post.
Oh, the cops are getting any of the cops.
Of course.
Of course what's going to happen.
More crazy stuff from the progressives who control New York City
and state. Saults on cops, the ones that I had, are up 63% in six years. Smart life. Okay,
let me just put this over here. Smart life. Told you when the tariff stuff start, don't sell
stocks. Hold in. Remember that, right? So those of you follow my advice in Smart Life segment,
you got your money back, unless you had terrible stocks.
Now I'm starting to sell some of my stocks.
Not all of them, but the ones that are speculative, and I'll tell you why.
I don't think that this turbulence in the world with China, with Ukraine, Putin, Iran, I think they're going to have to surrender the mullers.
But this economic war, and this is not going to be short term.
And it goes up and it goes down, it goes in, and it goes out.
It's your money, my money.
hard for it I'm trimming back a bit now right away I'm watching smart life I got
to be honest with you that's what we do here all right I'm not panicking I'm
keeping my core but the more speculative I'm selling Bill's book club if
Oprah can have one why can't I killing Lincoln is our best seller of all the
books wouldn't three million copies that was our first one
there's a new book on lincoln out called 1861 the lost peace it's by j winnick all right so if you're a lincoln
civil war person you want to check out jay's work that's the bill's book club standard history
june 2nd 1714 the intolerable acts now this is how stupid all right king george was what a moron
killing England. I'm laughing. I shouldn't laugh because this king was so stupid. So he signs an
act that says that the colonists, primarily in New England, all right, had to shelter British
troops in their own homes, in their barns, anywhere. So they just walk in. Now, a lot of his troops
who drunk. Because they got days off, they just get blasted out of their mind. They come home
and they'd reckon that. This was the turning point. But again, as I said, up top 50% of the
colonists, they didn't want to get away from the king because they never knew freedom, ever.
They don't know what it was. But this act, that was it. The two radicals, Samuel Adams,
This was the biggest radical.
And John Hancock, he was a very wealthy guy.
There's Adams.
And Hancock, they used this act where we outraged so many people to foster arms.
And that was really it, King George, 251 years ago today,
and one of the dumbest pieces of legislation I've ever seen.
Okay, I've got a lot more to tell you about the trip and stuff like that,
the quick break back in a moment.
Okay, final thoughts.
of the day so here's how it went down JFK in New York got on Japan Air great only
problem with Japan Air they couldn't speak English flight crew had a lot of
problem with English so but the flight and the plane clockwork nothing in America
comes close as far as the plane's concerned
It's disturbing.
Boom, right over to Tokyo, okay?
Out of the car for, where do you say?
We say the Intercontinental Ana Hotel, beautiful.
Go to Tokyo, Intercontinental Ana.
Okay.
Then I went out to Kamakura Buddha.
You saw the picture, I hope, of my father in 1945 in the occupation.
My son and I took the same picture.
Okay, this was a very emotional thing.
As my dad, he was in Japan for, I think, eight months, and there are the guys.
I'm going to frame that up, and that is a legacy picture.
They went to Kyoto, the imperial city, which was not bombed, hung around there for a little while,
then Osaka, flew from Osaka to Beijing on air China.
Beautiful, beautiful.
Much better than anything in the United States.
we land they confiscated my pens got to the hotel forces and beautiful but and i told you about it
then we went from Beijing to Seoul South Korea again China Air and great then we went up to DMZ
disappointing only Americans up there I was I was stunned there there were a lot of Koreans
okay this was Saturday
no Americans
and you couldn't see
very much
you really
couldn't get it in perspective
I know it's dangerous I understand
Kim Jong-un is a
total ridiculous idiot
but I was a
disappointed with that
now in Korea
that is the closest society to America
because American troops are there
and save their butts over there
in the Korean War
They'd all be communists now.
It wasn't for us.
Soul bustling big city.
Not a lot to see there.
But I like walking around and checking it out.
But their economy is booming in Tokyo, too.
A lot of commerce.
No American stuff.
I mean, there's Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken and that, but there are franchises
that are run by the locals.
But again, as I mentioned, no cars.
and I didn't see a lot of big heavy American stuff there
so we're taking it all in
the folks
across the board everybody was very nice
I ran to a lot of Americans
in Japan in particular
there were a bunch of people there
and everybody knows me which is good
I like talking to people
and then we talked to this Korean guy to DMZ
lives in this all you knew
and he gave us some tips about, you know, where to go and what to do.
You've got to be in shape, by the way, to go on his trips.
That great wall was some kind of wall.
As you know, the great wall, listen to this.
This is, to me, the most spectacular place to visit in the world.
It's better than the pyramids.
And I've seen all the pyramids.
So the Ming Dynasty built a wall, 1368 to 1644, there's a 300-year experience.
It goes more than 13,000 miles of this wall.
400,000 people were killed in the 300 years building a wall because it's way up on a mountain.
I don't know how to even got the stuff up there.
it's you see it and the chinese government that's their big tourist thing they keep it in good shape
but i did about half what you could have done my son did more he's a lacrosse player his legs are
better shape but it is i was just an awe of how human beings could do this now they built the war
originally because of the mongle warriors on horseback coming in and doing all kinds of stuff like the vikings
did in Ireland and England. Same thing. But I'll tell you what. I've been 86 countries now,
seen it all. That was the most impressive attraction I've seen on the circuit. So we're glad we're
back. No place like home, right? No place like the USA. Thank you for watching and listening to
the No Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow.
