Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the Knowsman News, Monday, July 31st, 2020, stand up for your countries and breaking news today about this Devin Archer guy, partner to Hunter Biden, testifying in front of some congressional people. It's very weird. run it down in a very simple, matter-of-fact way, so we'll all understand what the deuce is happening. So Joe Biden, Hunter's father, is on vacation. I don't know what the difference is between his workday and his vacations, since he works very lightly. Let's put it that way. Let's be polite to the president. He's out 10 days. When he comes back, he's supposed to go out

west, talk about global warming in Arizona, New Mexico. Yeah, you know the deal. Trump campaign is rolling along despite being indicted every day. We'll get to that. We'll explain that a little bit. Try to add a little context to it. But I'm going to make a prediction here on the last day of July. Bad things are going to happen soon in the political arena. I mean, I could see it coming. And no matter how they try to protect President Biden, and no matter how they try to hammer Donald Trump. This time in September, maybe after Labor Day, a week after Labor Day, the landscape is going to be different. So stay here, please, on the No Spin News Band.

That is the subject of this evening talking points memo. All right, so the House Oversight Committee is in charge of hunting down, pardon the pun, Hunter Biden's financial situation. You all know the IRS caught them not paying taxes. He tried to do a plea deal. The judge threw it out because it was a sweetheart deal. The Justice Department refused to really investigate Hunter Biden in a massively corrupt action. But now it moves forward. So the guy who probably knows more about Hunter Biden's relationship with his father,

Joe Biden, vis-a-vis business, is Devin Archer. Now, very strange. So Archer testifies or answers questions. There he is. today, but not under oath. Very, very strange. Why not? Why isn't he under oath? Because his lawyers didn't want him under oath. That's why. I don't know. I mean, if I were Jim Jordan, the head of the Oversight Committee, I would have taken them, oath or no oath, but that's really strange. Now, here's the second strange thing. On Saturday, the Justice Department

writes a letter to the judge who sentenced Devin Archer to a year and a day in prison for defrauding a Native American tribe. Archer has appealed that conviction, but now the appeals have run out. He has to serve the time. All right? So the Justice Department, two days before Archer is supposed to talk to Congress, issues a letter on a Saturday. They never done, never done, telling the judge, you've got to put this guy in jail now. Now, the Justice Department knew the judge wasn't going to act that quickly and prevent Devin Archer from testifying. They knew that. So the right-wingers and the conspiratorialists who say, oh, they try to prevent the testifying. No.

What this was was an intimidation play, a message to Devin Archer, that we're going to make your life a little. living hell, we, the Justice Department, which runs the Bureau of Prisons, by the way, we don't make your life a living hell, all right, if you attack prison bite. That's what the message was. And there's no question about that. All right. So let me set up before we tell you what Archer said. Archer and Christopher Hines, the ketchup heir, John Kerry's stepson.

Archer, Christopher Hines, and Hunter Biden were buds at Yale. They all got into business, Rosemont Seneca, okay? And the business was basically getting money from foreign companies for nothing. All right, they did business with Bohai Capital. It's a Chinese investment front. They did business with Burisma. Devin Archer was on the board of Burisma in, Ukraine, they did business in Russia, Romania, massive amounts of money.

We know between 17 and 30 just the Hunter Biden and his Uncle Jim. We don't know what Heinz got out of it or Archer. Okay, anyway. So Archer, he shows up after three other attempts to get him to testify in front of Congress. Now, here is what we know. I'm going to quote it. We'll put it on a full screen, those listening on the Russians. radio. I'm not going to read it fast, so you absorb it. Okay. This is a report from the Hill.

Former Hunter Biden Business Associate Devin Arthur said during closed-door testimony that Hunter Biden included President Biden on a number of phone calls and presumably included business associates, according to one lawmaker's account of the testimony, a revelation that is likely to fuel Republican attempts to link the president to his son's business dealings. But the Democratic lawmakers said that Arch's testimony to the House Oversight Committee did not show the president was involved in Hunter Biden's business dealings, unquote. Okay. So we believe that that Democrat that talked to the Hill in Politico is Dan Goldman from New York, an apologist for President Biden, a defender, staunch defender of him. But the fact that Hunter

Biden included President Biden on a number of business phone calls is enough now to get a subpoena to take a sworn deposition from Joe Biden. Okay. So Joe Biden, that's enough. Go in, he's not going to appear. You go into the White House, put in his hand, a Democrat, a Republican, whatever, Jordan, somebody else, goes in, ask the questions under oath. Biden can say executive privilege,

I'm not going to do it. Get's impeached like that. See where we are now? So this testimony today from Devin Arch, it doesn't matter whether Congressman, what's his name, Goldman thinks Biden had something to do with the business or not. The fact that Archer said that President Biden were on some of these calls,

and we'd have to get a timeline, Vice President Biden, Private Citizen Biden, President Biden. But remember, Biden said he had nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. He didn't say it under oath, but he said it. Okay. So this is big. It's a big story. Now, it's going to be ignored by the corrupt corporate media.

I'll know that. But it's big. So you have a situation where this guy, Devin Archer, and I don't know what else he says specifically, we will know Jordan's going to release the whole transcript. And believe me, they'll pour over it. But that's the headline. So as far as the Justice Department, they don't care.

They couldn't care less. So when they issued that letter, the Justice Department, Merrick Garland, Tim, he had to okay that letter to the judge to put Devin Archer in jail. The head of the Oversight Committee, James Comer, the congressperson from Kentucky, said this, go. The letter from the Department of Justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence Devin Archer for something unrelated to what we're going to be talking to him about tomorrow. It's odd that it was issued on a Saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American people

the truth about what really went on with Burisma. So, you know, I don't know if this is a coincidence. Yeah, you know, Congressman, it's not a coincidence. It's just what I said. It's an intimidation. So anyway, the story moves forward. The train picks up speed. Devin Archer on the record. Yeah, Joe was on some of those business calls. Telling you, this is not going to end well for President Biden. That's the memo. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Post 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 world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between.

It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Power, politics, and the people. behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda

every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. DuPol, Harvard, Harris asked about the Justice Department of the I. First question, please indicate if you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the Justice Department. Favorable 47, unfavorable 35. That's pretty weird. Favorable FBI 54, unfavorable 31. So most of you watching me now, you don't have a favorable view of the Justice Department

or the FBI. But this reflects people who don't know anything, all right? So there was 2068 registered voters polled, 37 Democrat, 36 percent Republican fair poll. But most people, they don't know. They don't know. Joe Biden, as I said, is on vacation of Rojobit, Delaware, started Friday. You know, look, he's entitled to a vacation. There he is under the, I have an umbrella just like that.

There he is, it's Joe. But he's not really alone. 15 feet away of five secret service guys with machine guns. Solitary man, Neil Diamond? Okay. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, I did not know this. So the judge, Mary Ellen Noreka, in the IRS case who refused a plea deal, she asked Hunter Biden a bunch of questions in the hearing last week.

Okay, and one of the questions was, did you do business with, any Chinese companies? And 100 Biden said, yeah. He got $664,000 from a communist Chinese back party company. Okay? And I did not know that. So he admitted to the judge, hey, the company, Chinese energy company run by the government, the communists, CEFC paid me $664,000. What was he? Fixing wires? What was Hunter doing for that, Jack? But this goes right against what his father has said. Roll it.

My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are he talking about? China. I have not had it. The only guy made money from China is this guy. He's the only one. Nobody else has made money from China. President, how involved were you in your cubs, Chinese shakedown text message?

Were you sitting there? Were you involved? No, I don't know. Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. So now it's on the record. Let me review $664,000 from the Chinese company, C-E-F-C. Hunter Biden admits he got the money. Joe Biden in the debate, as you just heard,

said, no, am I sending any money? The only person got money from China was Trump. Doesn't get more clear than this. I don't believe. Okay. Now, the House Judiciary Committee is busy. This is Jordan's committee. So they called Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg

and to testify about the FBI intrusion in the Hunter Biden laptop story and other censorship stories. Zuckerberg refused to turn over documents related to the FBI's visits. So Jordan was just about to issue a contempt citation to Zuckerberg when Zuckerberg said, oh, okay, I will. So Jordan was supposed to do that last Thursday, then he didn't do it because now he says Zuckerberg is cooperating.

We're following that story. that all of this is like a giant octopus here it's all going to come in you know I get a lot of letters oh they're never going to do anything they're never going to do anything they're never going to do anything yes it is a corrupt swamp but we're just peeling it back now it's a shame that that half of Americans don't pay attention to anything

but the ones that do are certainly going to know what's going on let's go to Donald Trump so as you know He's got more indictments on Mar-A-Lago. Then it's January 6th stuff coming. It's, as I said, death of a thousand cuts, say. He's a cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. And this is all Merrick Garland. He's doing it.

Garland emerging as a huge villain. And there's no way Garland is not going to be impeached. He will be next fall. So look forward to that. Anyway, Trump is in Iowa. Here's what he said. Go. They want to weaponize the IRS,

just like they've weaponized the Justice Department and the FBI. And by the way, if I weren't running, I would have nobody coming after me. Or if I was losing by a lot, I would have nobody coming after me. They wouldn't be coming after me. Okay. So the legal bills, about $60 million, so far for Donald Trump. His political action committee, all right? So you can't give money directly to Trump at this point.

You can give low-level money. But all the big money comes in to save America political action committee. They're paying the bills. And that's standard. That's what usually happens. I mean, the left making a big deal out of it. And you go, it always happens. That's what political action committees do.

I'm not even going to go over all the old stuff. It's old news. You already know about it. They believe Trump try to destroy stuff in Marlauago. and forth, all of that. And he can expect something in Georgia, too. But, you know, people know, they know what's happening here. I'm not saying Trump's not guilty, by the way. I would never say that. All right, but I'm saying this is a coordinated effort. And there, as I wrote the message of the day, I hope you read that every day, Bill O'Reilly.com message of day. You don't have to be a

member or anything like that. Just go there and read it. This is a bunch of low-level beefs. Yeah, Trump took the documents. He did. And whether he tried to hide him or not, I don't know. I don't know why he even took him. I don't know. But it's not, compared to somebody like Joe Biden, who's allegedly involved with grifting five foreign countries for money for his family, I mean, you know, come on.

And then Biden's got the documents in his garage, too. But Biden, to be fair, didn't impede the investigation, whereas Trump did. And that was a big mistake. So let's go to the media in the morning I get up and I listen to the CBS World Roundup at 8 a.m. Eastern time in the morning. And I listen to it because it used to be very straight. And, you know, I got to know, I can't watch TV in the morning anymore. That's a total waste of time.

But the radio broadcast in six or seven minutes used to on CBS run it down. So I got a good idea of what happened overnight. and it's a morning ritual for me against eight o'clock i'm listening so today instead of previewing the devon archer testimony which is the biggest story they ignored it CBS radio news totally ignored it and did the six-day-old story about trump myelago six days old that's what they led with and instead of reporting the gas prices are up 16 cents a gallon in one week they ignored that In place, I think they had some explosion in Pakistan or something. I mean, it was like, I'm going, where's the news?

Didn't exist. That's not incompetence. That's, we're not going to say anything bad about Biden. Okay. Gas prices now, let me give you the stats here. Current average, gallon gas, 376, we could go 360. That's a huge story. a month ago, 354, a year ago, 422.

So gas prices have risen 16 cents in a week, and this is the annual summer gouge. It happens every summer. Okay, they gouge you and gouge you and gouge you until Labor Day. That's what they do. But in addition to gas prices, car insurance is up 17% in one year in this country. So you get your car insurance renewal, and you've got to have car insurance. You have to.

It's not optional. 17% rise. And I'm going, I'm looking at my saying, I'm going, what? I got a clean record, no accidents, no tickets, whatever. And I'm paying more than 70%. And I'm going, why? So we did some investigation. Here's why.

The increase has become because cars have become more advanced and features, all kinds of stuff that are expensive to repair. Well, I got a 2016 Cadillac. my car is the same not a new car so why is my car insurance up 20% because they can

because the state of New York doesn't care how high you don't remember these rates are regulated and home how about I got guys coming in now because they cancel my homeowners because they want to like double it my home insurance and I'm not in a floodplain

or any of that we got no claims and again that's up crazy So I'm getting new home insurance and they're coming over to look at the house or something. I don't know. I'll give them some low calorie beverages, whatever they want.

But home insurance is up about 5% around the country, double digit increases in home insurance, approved in 31 states. 31 states. Why? Well, climate change. because of the storms. That's why. Okay. I mean, so you, me, everybody else, the bills higher and higher and higher.

That's Bidenomics, is it not? Bidonomics. But Biden's telling us, yeah, economy is great. It's great. It's the greatest economy here. And I'm going, I don't know, I'm paying more for food, more for gas, more for insurance, more for everything. There isn't anything that's gone down. So I asked my producers, get me somebody who is very smart, smarter than me, and can explain all this.

So Dr. Thomas Hogan comes to us from Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire, it's a lovely place. A little crazy left there, but if you can just walk around the woods and hike, you're fine. Okay, so the Biden administration, oh, the economy dynamics is great, it's the greatest thing, great, great, great. And then the consumer, every time they turn around, they're paying more for everything. How does that stack, doctor? Yeah, thanks for having me on. You're right. It is a tough time for American consumers right now.

They're seeing prices of everything that they buy going up, and that's, you know, gas prices at food prices and home prices, everything across the board. And so they're facing higher prices, but then they've got all these things coming from the Biden administration, new regulation, new taxes, and a higher debt than ever that Biden's using to spend on all these pet projects for his, you know, political cronies. And so it seems like, you know, Americans are really getting hit from both sides by the higher prices and the terrible policies from the Biden administration. Okay. So when you hear Biden go out and go, oh, inflation's coming down, which it is on the board. I mean, it's coming down from, I think it was almost 10 percent. It's down. it's down about five now or whatever it may be, then I'm the greatest president and economic president of all time because inflation is coming down. But correct me if I'm wrong,

Biden himself ignited all the inflation for the first 18 months of his administration, right? So it's funny because Biden wants to take all of the credit for things that he did not do and except none of the blame for the things that he did. And so it's a little bit strange. You know, he's saying that, oh, we've seen all this job growth, not even mentioning that we're in this huge recession because of COVID, and so all that job growth

is really just a recovery to get us back to normal, you know, and so it really has nothing to do with the Biden administration. And then trying to take credit for, you know, prices coming down. Prices were high because of huge inflation, mostly because of the U.S. Federal Reserve, which has finally started raising interest rates to try to get that under control. And again, Biden wants to take credit for this, even though really nothing to do with him at all. So my posture on this broadcast and others has been, when Biden came into office, the first thing he did was attack the American fuel industry, all right? The gas industry, the heating oil, everything, attack, a tackle, regulation after regulation after regulation, boom, boom, boom. And that immediately raised the price of fuel, which immediately raised the price of food because the truckers had to pay more for gas, and it's always passed on a consumer.

And then there was all of these product delays to get the products to market and they'd stack them, stack them. If Biden had not, and I mean, you're a senior research guy at the American Institute for Economic Research. If Biden had just left it alone when he came in, left the American energy industry alone, as Trump did, would we have all of these higher prices? I know it's speculation, but what's your opinion? Yeah, you know, I think Biden is being a little bit not totally truthful about the way that he's describing the, you know, energy prices. You know, when he when he was running for president, he said he wanted to eliminate the fossil fuel industry altogether. And so get rid of oil companies. And then once oil prices were high, he said, oh, we're going to do everything we can.

I'm a friend of the energy industry and the oil industry. And, you know, obviously that wasn't true. But I'm, you know, I mostly put the high prices and partly high gas and oil prices on the Federal Reserve that's had two expansionary monetary policy that's driven up prices. You know, Biden called this high gas prices Putin's price hike. You remember that? Yeah. Because of Russia's war with Ukraine that disrupted the oil industry. But if we look at the price of oil, even before that, it had largely gone up. I mean, at the start of 2021 and the beginning of the pandemic recovery, it was about $45.

a barrel. And a year later, before Russia invaded Ukraine, it had already doubled to $90 a barrel. And that was a period when prices were going up around the economy because, you know, the Federal Reserve was keeping interest rates low and continuing to buy bonds and pushing up all prices. And so, you know, so I think a lot of that has to do with the bad Fed policy. But certainly Biden's policies of trying to pick on the energy and oil industry in particular talking about new regulations is certainly a problem. Okay, because harvesting of energy in this country under Biden, I think is about 70% of what it was under Trump. And whenever you don't have, whenever you have 30% less of a product, the product's going to go up.

I mean, even I can understand that. Doctor, thanks very much for your expertise. We appreciate it. If you want to check out the doctor, you go to American Institute for Economic Research. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day. to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides,

especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, so we take a lot of advertising here. Here, we're very successful, as you know, worldwide. We actually have a new sponsor this week, My Pillow.

Come on in, and we're happy to have them. And I have, I think, the best ad sales team in the business. Because we are an independent news agency. We compete against the corporate that you get on straight TV or cable, whatever you want to call it. So one of our advertisers from July 9th, 2020 to June 26th, 2022, two years was Brownstone, Jeff Brown, and it was a subscription service to buy stocks, Brownstone research. When we checked it out, and to this day, Brownstone has an A rating on the Better Business Bureau website. So that's what we do. We check our sponsors out.

I can't tell you how many sponsors we have rejected. For example, I didn't reject this sponsor, but you see all these celebrities, George Clooney pushing the tequila and all this. I would never take those ads ever. In a million years, I won't take gambling ads. And it's a huge revenue on that. So, I mean, I'm pretty rigid. But we took Brownstone, and we monitored it. and you know it was all we can do is go by what the people in the consumer business say we can't

audit their books we can't do any of that well anyway brownstone is not done well Jeff Brown is not with them anymore and I'm getting some letters about this so I want to explain to you in the smart life segment but here's the key and I have said this over and over and over and over when you buy a stock or any financial gold or silver or anything You are taking a risk. So here's what I said very early on after Brownstone came on as an advertiser. Go. If you are holding stocks in retirement accounts or college accounts or just as an investment,

you'll be very careful right now. I can't give financial advice. We have concierge membership and people ask me all the time what they should do with their money. I can tell you what I do with my money. I can't tell you what to do. that's all I can do for concierge members but the stock market I can tell you with certainty it's very very risky at this point and that was March 2nd 2021 it's still risky market's running a little bit now but something happens down 3,000 points so you got to know

but anyway if you have a problem with any of our sponsors and your concierge member to Bill O'Reilly dot com immediately we will deal with that problem i can't deal with the millions of other people all over the world because we don't have the resources to do it but i believe me when i tell you we monitor what is on our air as we understand we want the best for you that's smart life and that's what we're trying to do here um i'm getting a lot of mail on the show in new york state of mind. O'Reilly, Sid Rosenberg, sponsored by WABC Radio, our flagship, obviously in New York City. Three days on sale, Ticketmaster. It is 70% sold out.

It's about what New York, and pretty much the whole East Coast, Boston, Philly, used to be when I was growing up and what it is now and how that got that way. That's basically the thing, but we're going to do it with a lot of humor. Late October is a great place to be on Long Island, New York City. The leaves are changing, a lot of vibrance in the air, a lot of fun time to be here. So just keep it in mind. Once again, that is October 27th, 8 p.m.

This day in history, July 31st, 2020, a federal appeals court, it's an interesting story, overturn the death sentence conviction of Johar Sanayev. Remember him? All right, he was the Boston Marathon bomber along with his brother. His brother was killed by police. He was captured. Three died in the Boston on April 15, 2013. There are the two brothers. Johar is the guy with the curly hair. 280 others wounded. So he was found guilty. He was guilty. Everybody saw him chasing cops. I don't know. The guy was

guilty is no doubt. I got sentenced in a federal court to debt. But a judge has overturned it. And an incredible, I mean, and I use that literally incredible, U.S. magistrate Marianne Bowler said, well, I don't think the jury was well picked. That's not your job, lady. So overturned the death penalty. against Sunaya. The Supreme Court heard it, reinstated the death penalty. He's now down in Florence, Colorado, the new Supermax prisoner. That's for the most heinous criminals in this country. I don't think he's going to be executed, though, but he's there forever. This day in history, the Boston Marathon bomber got a break from a judge who was an activist. She just didn't believe in a death penalty, but Supreme Court right at it.

mail and a final thought about the Beach Boys, my pals, I saw them last night. I'll tell you a little bit about it and I think you'll find it entertaining. I hope you will. We'll be right back. All right here's the mail. David Payne. I was so glad on Thursday when you brought up the in-your-face insult of Hunter Biden at the state dinners. It really irked me when I saw it, but also worked me was a carefree, arrogant reception he got from the other elites there. Well, you've got to expect that. If you're invited to the White House, even if Hunter Biden's there, you're not got a cold shoulder them because that's in polite and these people are all in a club you're invited to state dinner you're in the biden club or the trump club or the uh obama club now trump didn't

have a lot of state dinners he didn't wasn't really what he wanted to do um hugh gonzalez meitland florida i'm a regular viewer of the no spin news premium member beside a wall street journal are there any other newspapers worth subscribing to i get a local paper newsday on long Island because I want to know what's going on around me. Newsday kind of leans left and they're doping on the editorial page a lot, but that's okay. In your town, you've got to evaluate. Local news is important, but there are very, very few now newspapers that are any good locally. So it's not a good situation.

Charlie Fish, Colonial Heights, Virginia, you mentioned in one of your email responses bill, somebody else was paying Hunter Biden's funds and expenses. asked before, would this be declared his income? No, it's a loan. So the guy out in L.A., they call him the Sugar Brother, the lawyer, naming escape to see at the moment. He was a guy with the bong and, you know, all that. He's paying all Hunter Biden's bills. But he says they're loans to a hundred. Good luck getting paid back. He knows he's not going to get paid back. Charles Mahorney, Lancaster, Kentucky. Bill, you say Trump shouldn't do the debate because the opponents say bad things about him. Don't you think they'll do that? Anyway, look, it would be

insane and i mean that literally for don't trump to walk in there and have six or seven other republicans throw stuff in his face legal stuff and i mean you're crazy to do that you got anything to gain by doing that slinging mud all for two hours mud mud mud is that really not gonna help mouse no uh surely voters are responsible for electing politician's office anyone can run for office This is the voters who determine if the county is qualified and capable. A minuscule number of voters actually researched the candidate. It's true. It's true.

I mean, you know, people are busy. They depend on the media, which is undependable. So, systems crashing. Carl, when I was in Vietnam, Bob Hope came to visit. We forgot about the hell we were living in, and we transported back to the States for a few hours. I will never forget what he did for us. We did a Bob Hope tribute last week.

on the 100th anniversary of his life, but he's dead, of course. Al, Bob Hope entertained in Vietnam when I was there. I did not get to see him, however. Bob was the greatest morale booster ever for the troops over there. Those lovely girls who left the comforts home to come to a war zone, I salute them all. They were good shows. I followed that closely. I just want to say I really respect everybody who served in Vietnam who answered the call from their country,

even though it was a misguided call and not the politicians sold you out. They did. They sold you. LBJ and, you know, Nixon wrapped it up, but they weren't looking out for you. So I, you know, I salute to all of the Vietnam deaths. Stephen Koch.

Found your program on the first, hooked on the NOSPN News. I want to keep what's going on, but I don't know if it's good for my health. They get very angry and upset. set with the swamp. Also, where is Dennis Miller these days? Look, I get angry with the swamp, too.

Good for your health. It's better for your health if you know what's going on. Because you're going to get blindsided if you don't. So more information you get, the better. Miller's retired. Miller's telling me he's living large out in California, in Idaho. You know, he's bouncing around. You know, maybe someday we'll bring them back.

Chris Alonzo ordered two tickets for the New York State of Mind show with you and Sid Rosenberg, very excited about it. You will always remember this show. That's the only thing I tell you. You will never forget it. Paul Trandel, Cleveland, Tennessee, just received my complimentary copy of Killing Me Killers, upgrading from a premium to a concierge membership.

Very wise move. You got an insurance policy now, Paul, and we don't raise our rates. The first sentence of the book was a grabber. I couldn't put it down. Most excellent. Killing the Killers, an excellent book. You get a choice.

You upgrade from premium to concierge or become a premium or concierge member. Any killing book you want. Right there. Okay, we have a bunch of summer reading that we want you to do because we have killing Crayors, killing killers, killing the legends,

all bundled together, along with a team normal hat for $3295. You will not find a better deal in this country. You got the bumper stickers. All right, don't be a pin it. Atheism, nothing there, team normal. Six stickers, 1495, have fun, give them out, all of that. Don't be a pin, it's my favorite.

Brand new word of the day. Do not be a roto-monteed. Rott-O-M-O-T-O-T-A-D-E, R-O-N-T-A-D, don't beat that. Back with final thought on the Beach Boys in a moment. here's the final thought as some of you know uh beach boys are friends of mine have been for decades i grew up with them and love their music it's timeless it's summer so they wandered through uh long island over the weekend or up in new england this week i mean it's like they do 180 dates a year these guys it's unbelievable so i went out to see him at the west hampton

theater last night and a few laughs backstage uh mike love is eighty Bruce Johnston, who came on very early, is 81. And these guys are unbelievable. Roll the tape. Do you love me? Do you serve for you? God serve for you. I will serve you. I will serve you. I will serve you.

I'm very gender Surfer Girl. Very gender specific song. Surfer Girl. Classic. I mean, they did two hours. Just the hits. They didn't have any filler.

And they didn't even have an intermission. It was like, boom, boom, boom, boom. catch you with and the crowd in the beginning older as you would expect with some younger but mostly older people but at the end they're all dancing around I mean some lady with a cane almost decapitated me during Kokomo I mean it was like I got to get out of here these senior citizens are out of control talking about pickleball I mean it was but the boys were really really good and it's it's not just the song songs and a concert, it's your life. It's your summer life. I mean, it just evoked so many

memories. You come back and it was an age of innocence and totally different than today, better than today in most areas. And that's what we're going to talk about in New York State of Mind, how that transition happened. But anyway, Love and Johnson and the guys, excellent job last night, 82 and 81 years old, they still got it. Thanks for watching and listening to the No Spin News.

We'll see you again tomorrow.
