Bill O'Reilly here.
Welcome to the NOSFIN News for Wednesday, November 16th, 2022, stand up for your country.
So Donald Trump, back in the game, he's channeling Teddy Roosevelt.
I don't know how many of you.
realized that I'm a big Teddy guy. He lived about 15 miles east of me here on Long Island.
Magnificent Place, Sagamore Hill, if you ever around, go up and see it. And Teddy was quite
quite the character. So Teddy Roosevelt left office in 1908, and William Taft took over his president.
Teddy didn't like Taft, all right? So Teddy decided in 1912 to run again as a populist,
almost exactly like Donald Trump is running. Trump's not a party guy. He's running as a populist.
So Teddy ran as a populist. He thought he could beat Taft and Woodrow Wilson. So the third party,
bull moose party. Well, Teddy got his butt kicked. He didn't do well. But he brought Taft down,
and Wilson became president for eight years.
And some people say Wilson was a dreadful president.
It's a very controversial guy.
So I was thinking about Teddy when I was watching the Trump speech last night
because it was an interesting exercise in populism.
As I said, Trump is not a doctrinaire conservative or a Republican Party guy,
but he has to run on that ticket.
But I don't know if the ticket is going to embrace him.
And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
So it is a tough pathway for Donald Trump.
There are 538 electoral votes all together in this country.
270 are needed to win the presidency.
Trump cannot win 210 of those.
Those states will not vote for him under any circumstances.
He can win 219.
That leaves 109 electoral votes up for grabs in eight states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, all problematic for Donald Trump.
He's got to win two of the three of those.
Now, what he has going for him, an advantage that Trump has, is that things in America will get worse in the next two years, because Joe Biden is so incompetent.
It's almost beyond belief, if you are following what's happening at the southern border.
It's almost beyond belief that a sitting president of the United States would make no attempt to stem millions of foreign nationals from illegally entering this country.
And Biden will not do it, and he's not going to do it.
So that, the economy, violent crime, foreign relations, all are going to get.
worse in the next two years because Biden cannot govern this country. And of course, he's not
going to run again. All right, his own party doesn't want him to run again. That's a huge
advantage for Donald Trump because the way it is now, okay, in November 22, is not the way it's
going to be in January, 2024, when the campaign will start in earnest. The disadvantage that
Trump has is that he has a competitor who is very successful. Now, it would be Governor Ron DeSantis of
Florida. DeSantis was the big winner last week in a midterm vote. There's no doubt about it. He is on
the world stage. He wants to run for president. He is raising money. He is visiting other states.
He is doing what he has to do to lay the groundwork. Now, unlike Trump, DeSantis can't start
running tomorrow and announce. He can't.
He was just re-elected as governor.
He's got to govern Florida for at least a year.
He's got to.
So Trump can do the rallies, he can run around, he can do whatever he want,
reignite the MAGA base.
That's why the speech was held last night.
Trump knew that DeSantis was gaining momentum,
and he had to get out there and reignite his base.
I don't know whether it's going to work or not, okay?
Because there are Republicans who have had enough at Donald Trump.
Maybe you, watching tonight.
So it's a division, and the division herds the Republican Party.
All the Democrats want is a bloody primary in between DeSantis and Trump.
That's what they're praying for to injure the party, just like Teddy Roosevelt and William Taff.
The same thing.
Okay.
So the speech last night for the first 18 minutes was stellar when you are looking at it from a political point of view, not a party or ideological.
point in view. Political. It was a very sharp speech. No mention of 2020 election. Thank God.
Americans do not want to hear that. Okay. The first round of the speech was what Trump accomplished.
And he did accomplish quite a few good things for this country. Anyone who says he did not is lying
to you or so stupid you shouldn't be having a conversation with them anyway, one or the other. One or the
other. So Trump, you know, rolled out his accomplishments and he kept them tight so everybody
could understand. Then he went into attacking Biden, which is pretty easy at this point. Rolls
down by one. Now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences. Was held in
contempt by the British Parliament over Afghanistan.
Thanks to the words of wisdom, he said, thank you to the wrong country for inviting him to a major summit on the environment of all things.
They fly for days to get there, and then he calls the country a name that was actually a country on another continent.
And he's leading us to the brink of nuclear war, a concept unimaginable just two short years ago.
Okay. So, I mean, that's not hard to do. You just take and disassemble Joe Biden and Republicans want to hear that. I don't know how many independents want to hear it, but independents should be listening to that. And then Trump lowers the boom. Go.
It's crazy what's happening. We can't let it continue. Joe Biden is the face of left-wing failure and Washington corruption. He had a big G-20 dinner tonight.
everybody flew over to wherever they flew over and guess what he never showed up they're still
looking for him what's going that's true he didn't show up the big dinner by which i said
yesterday was almost unheard of the leader of the world particularly when you had that missile
thing in poland which we'll get to okay so for the first 18 minutes good speech but the speech
lasted one hour and four minutes and 19 seconds. So Donald Trump then went into the Dion zone.
Remember Dion the singer, the wanderer? Great song. And he just started to wander all over the place.
And somebody told him, don't be a bomb thrower, don't be hysterical out there. So he was lower key than usual.
But an hour and four minutes? No, no. That speech should have.
wrapped up in 20 minutes.
That's all you need.
Get your point across, get the crowd jazzed, and
get off.
So that tells me that
still management of the
Trump campaign is not where it should be.
You can't be rambling on for an hour.
He will. He'll have his rallies
and that's what he'll do.
Now, I wrote a message of the day that
predicts what will happen now. Oh, and I hope
you read it on Bill O'Reilly.com. Don't have to
be a member, every morning a message of the day, go in. I'm going to do, here's going to happen
now. Here's how the media is going to treat Trump. Here's going to, this is what is likely to
happen. I can predict with certainty about the media. I can't predict the political nature of
this because I don't know how bad things are going to get in America. They're going to get bad,
but I don't know how bad. And I don't know the relationship between DeSantis and Trump. If they go
at each other in mutual destruction, the Democrats win. And I'm sure that. So that's where we are
today. And again, it is a tough pathway for Trump, not impossible because of Biden's incompetence.
Okay, let's do this missile thing. So I'm on the air yesterday on the no spin news, and I hope many of you
saw it and listened to it. And in my ear, right here, there's an electronic gizmo where my producer
can talk directly to me. So she says, a Russian missile just killed two people in Poland.
All right? And I'm talking to you as I'm hearing this in my ear. So I have to make an instantaneous
decision. Do I report that to you on the NOSBIN News or do I wait and see what the situation
is. Because it is the fog of war, I waited. I'm experienced journalist enough to know that first
reports out of a war zone are almost always wrong. And this thing got totally out of control
fast, this missile killing two poor Polish farmers. But we didn't know for sure where the missile
came from. Now they say it was a Ukraine air defense missile, not a Russian missile. But who knows,
you still don't have the definitive situation. But right after the story broke, unfortunately,
there was kind of many hysteria. Roll the tape. We start here. If World War III begins between
Russia and NATO, history or what's left of it, we'll note today.
November 15th, 2022 as the point of no return.
Now, Leland Vitterd is a good, solid reporter, and he did a lot of overseas work for Fox when I was there.
He made a mistake. He whipped it up.
Now, not a big mistake. I mean, but that was echoed by, I saw it last night.
And then Biden himself, without really knowing what the deuce happened, comes out and says this, go.
There was total unanimity among the folks at the table.
We also discussed the latest series of Russian missile attacks,
which are continuing the brutality and humanity that they've demonstrated throughout this war against Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructures.
And they've been totally unconscionable for what they're doing, totally unconscionable.
And that's true, okay?
And nothing will happen from this missile thing
because I do believe it probably was a Ukrainian
defensive missile that went off course and landed in Poland.
If I'm wrong, obviously I'll tell you,
but it doesn't look like it's going to get,
this story probably disappears pretty fast.
All right, American politics, let's go to the House.
They're still not definitively calling it for the Republicans, but it is going to be a Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
I got the number today at 221. That's the O'Reilly number, okay? And 218 is needed for the majority.
Now, it is a scandal that California and Alaska and what happened in Nevada and Arizona, there should be federal monitoring.
in there right now. Right now. You can't not count the votes. And California is not counting
them. And they're all Republican districts. They're just not counting them. Ah, we're not going to
count them. Boom. Federal monitors go in. Okay? But Biden's never going to do that. He didn't
even know about it. It's like that. But it's so frustrating for those of us who want honest
elections. Now, as we said yesterday, once the Republicans gain control of the House,
you say goodbye to Nancy Pelosi, thank God, and then the Republicans have a pretty wide range
of things they can do. They could invent, investigate Hunter Biden. They could investigate
why Joe Biden won't take any action on the border, which is a violation of American immigration
law. But Biden's violating the law.
They could do that in their committee meetings.
Just like January 6th, Trump, the riot, Republicans could set it up and do all that.
And Democrats can't stop them.
Okay.
And in addition, the House will be a restraint on spending, which we desperately need if we want to bring inflation down.
So joining us now from Lakeland, Florida, is former Congressman Dennis Ross, a Republican.
He served from 2011 and 2019 in the House.
He now is the director of the American Center for Political Leadership at South Eastern University in Florida.
So when you saw the Trump announcement last night as a good Republican, I assume you remain in the Republican Party, what did you think?
I was concerned, and please understand, I was one of the few members of Congress.
that was supportive of Trump early on before we got elected.
I spoke at five of his rallies.
I was on his transition team.
I was very pleased with the tax reform package we did in December of 2017.
But what sticks in my craw about to the Trump administration,
I think it will many of the American people, is what happened on January 6th.
And, you know, I also know Ron DeSantis very well.
We served together from 2012 until I left,
and he is a very determined politician, very calculating,
a chess player that looks down the line.
I think the American people want to see a unified leader.
I think they want somebody that has conservative principles,
but doesn't want to divide the nation in applying those principles.
So I was concerned.
I wasn't surprised at the speech.
I wasn't surprised at the length of the speech he gave last night.
And it is business as usual for the former president,
who I have a great deal of respect for.
And I think he was one of our best presidents that we've had
leading up to January 6.
But do not count out Ron DeSantis.
And I think that absent the fact,
that all the money has been taken out of the political arena by the Trump campaign,
that there's a good path to victory for Ron DeSantis at this point.
Do you think he would go up against Trump in a bloody primary
because that would help the Democrats for sure and hurt the Republicans?
Well, I also think, you know, President Trump is calculating himself.
And I think that if he could be a kingmaker, knowing that he could not be king again,
if that's what the odds are going to show him, there's an opportunity that the two could work
something out. But I've never seen anybody close up as I have with Ronda Sannis being so calculated
and so effective. I mean, I remember when he was trying to get President Trump's attention
at the bill signing in December of 2017 to get his endorsement to run for governor of Florida.
I mean, he has a game plan that he doesn't back down on, and he's been running for President
for quite some time. So if the two match up, like two heavyweights, it would not be good for the
Republican Party. And I think that the American people are not going to want to see the results
of that battle. Yeah, I mean, that would be quite something because DeSantis isn't like Trump
in the ad homin attack area or correct me if I'm wrong. I mean, no, he is not. Yeah, he made fun
of Chris, Charlie Chris and all that. But Trump's, you know, he goes right for the throat. And
he's already diminished
in rhetoric
DeSantis a little bit. Now, over to the
House of Representatives,
it's going to be very tight
so that the Republicans
are not going to have a mandate,
but the Republicans are going to be
in charge of the House.
Why is that important, in your
opinion, for the country?
Well, it's very important. When we took over the
House in 2011,
we had a large majority
and had a difficult time passing a conservative
of agenda. But what we were able to do is to stop the agenda of the left that was done by Harry Reid
and President Obama. We became the party of obstruction, the party of no, but we did a lot of work
to prevent more liberal policies from being implemented by that administration. Once you have the
majority in the House, you control the agenda. You have subpoena power. You have investigatory powers.
And you will be able to bring in witnesses to find out why we abandoned not only our soldiers
and our allies in Afghanistan, but our equipment as well.
You can bring in witnesses to find out why Hunter Biden hasn't been investigated.
There are a lot of things that you can do and a lot of legislation that you can pass
knowing it won't get anywhere, but it will be a message for what will happen in 2024
if you elect all Republicans in both houses and in the White House.
Yeah, the problem with the Hunter Biden stuff in particular is that independent Americans,
which broke for the Democrats and they were the difference in Nevada.
and Arizona and other states, they don't seem to want that.
So all Republicans do.
Yeah, all Republicans want it.
All right.
And I think if there is evidence that ties Hunter Biden to his father financially, that has to be investigated.
That has to.
Okay.
Well, I agree with it.
Go ahead.
No, I was going to say, we also saw it in the 2020 election.
Was the election stolen or not?
The American people don't really want to know anymore.
They want to move forward.
Yeah, remember when Nixon resigned and Ford pardoned him back in the 70s, people wondered, well, you can go after Nixon.
You can do criminal sanctions and penalties against him.
But it wasn't for the good of America and it's cost forward, probably his reelection bid.
Americans want to go forward.
They want to see a brighter future.
They're willing to forgive the past as long as they know that they've got a strong, bright future ahead of them with a good leader.
Will that apply to Hunter Biden?
know. I tell you, there's a base over here in the Republican Party that wants to go after him
badly. And they're going to have to temper that because I don't know, like you said, for the
financial relationships that he may have that were done illegally, yes, I think they should go
after him. But to continue to just smear him for political gain, remember what happened when
we had the Select Committee on Benghazi and then Leader McCar.
said, look at what we've done to the polls against Hillary Clinton.
He said what people didn't want him to say was that this was a political move.
And I don't think that the American public want to see us just go after Biden for political gain.
If there's merit to it, then go for it.
Okay. What about the border, though?
You could easily impeach Joe Biden for failing to uphold immigration law.
Then he took an oath to uphold it, and he just won't.
That's not a hard thing to do.
It's pretty vivid.
Do you think that might happen?
Well, if you've only got a four-vote majority in the House, you might be able to have a hearing on impeachment, but getting an impeachment proceeding and getting an actual impeachment vote against the president. I think it's going to be very difficult with those numbers. We had a nearly 30-vote majority at one time, and we couldn't get much done. Nancy Pelosi had a five-vote majority and could get everything done. It is a function of leadership, and it has to be effective, assertive leadership that gets the agenda passed.
Well, but as you know, Pelosi used a different tactic.
She said, if you don't vote my way, we're cutting your money off, and we're not going to give you a cent for your re-election campaign, and House members are going to have to run every two years.
That's why she whipped her members into line.
It was always my way or no money.
Correct.
And also, remember when Mark Meadows filed the motion to vacate the chair against John Boehner, and that put him at risk to have the privilege motion called up, and they would have voted with all the Democrats and a few.
of the Freedom Caucus to get rid of John Boehner's speaker. When Nancy Pelosi becomes
speaker, she has that removed from her rules so they can't file the motion. I can bet you that
when McCarthy is part of his package to get to become speaker with 218 Republican votes is going
to have to put in the motion to vacate the chair as part of the rules again to keep him in check
by his right wing. And that's going to prohibit getting a lot of things done under a consensus
of 218 Republicans, as we used to refer to it as a Hastert rule that we wouldn't bring
anything to the floor unless we have 218 Republicans voting for it. I don't see that happening
with a slim majority. It's, it almost is going to have to force across the aisle negotiations
to get any substantive stuff done. Otherwise, they will be the party of no, which is fine again.
If the left-wing agenda is that extreme, then you need to be no. Right. If it's reasonable
legislation, you've got to compromise. Okay.
Mr. Ross, we really appreciate it.
Very astute, as always.
And thanks for taking the time
for helping us out today.
Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York
Postcast, and I've got exactly what
you need to start your weekdays.
Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter,
plus the news people actually talk about,
the juicy details in the worlds of politics,
business, pop culture, and everything
in between. It's what you want

snappy show. Ask your smart speaker

Okay, down to Texas, so Governor Greg Abbott, he's almost the same as DeSantis in his militancy on the border.
And he's declared an emergency, an invasion at the border, and invoking constitutional powers.
It's very interesting.
So the quote from Abbott is this, I invoke the invasion clauses of the U.S. and Texas Constitution
is a fully authorized Texas, take unprecedented measure to defend our state against an invasion.
Okay.
So it is an invasion, no doubt about it, and he's now evoking not only Texas Constitution, but the U.S. Constitution.
So what is it about the U.S. Constitution?
Well, this is really clever.
in Article 4, Section 4, Article 4, Section 4, the U.S. Constitution, it says that each state shall protect the others against invasion.
I didn't even know that.
So Texas has got to protect Maine from millions of people coming in unauthorized.
Now, what is Abbott going to do?
Okay, the first thing is he's going to put his National Guard at the border to physically repel immigrants trying to cross illegally.
That means he'll be armed.
Okay.
Two, that he's going to build a border wall, you know, barriers where none exist.
He can't build on federal land.
Got to be state land.
Or he's got to buy the property.
He's going to deploy gunboats.
in the Rio Grande River, gunboats.
Now are they going to shoot?
That's pretty bold.
And finally designate Mexican drug cartels
as foreign terrorist organizations.
Well, that's my idea.
And we discussed this months ago
when I had a meeting with Donald Trump
and I said, look, the only way to stop this
is to designate the cartels of the people smugglers
as terrorists.
And then you can drone them and kill
them just like you did Soleimani and al-Baghdadi and what I write about and killing the killers.
They were all assassinated by the U.S. under the designation of being terrorists and under the
Patriot Act, you do it. Well, he's doing the same thing, Abbott, but he doesn't have the authority
to do that. So he can't use Texas National Guard or whatever to assassinate Mexican citizens.
Federal government could, under the Patriot Act.
I don't never do it.
But Trump was out close to doing it, but he made a deal with Obedore,
and Ovidore stopped it, stopped all the caravans.
You may remember that.
I know this is a little complicated.
If you have any questions, bill at bill o'Reilly.com,
bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine.
Okay, so Texas, very aggressive, no doubt about it.
Arizona is going to be a tough two years for Arizona.
In October, the Border Patrol reports, 230,678 migrants were encountered, a record, 40% up from the previous October, 411% increased from Trump's last October.
There's no doubt.
the open border Biden policy has led to catastrophe.
And we're not even talking about the drug deaths, the fentanyl heroin deaths.
Horrible.
Biden does not care.
Period.
And that is the truth.
Household debt is at the fastest pace in 15 years, credit cards.
So mortgages, credit card debt, and,
auto loans driving household up $351 billion from July to September rise. So most American
families are in debt. Big debt. That's what I mean when I say things are not going to get
any better. Smart life. So Thanksgiving a week from tomorrow and the dinner, according to the
American Farm Bureau is going to cost 20% more than it did last year. And if you want raw numbers,
in 2018, the dinner costs family of four, $62. It'll cost you $82 this year, $20 difference.
It doesn't matter. Okay, don't skimp on Thanksgiving dinner. Have a good time. All right. In fact,
I'm adding to my menu.
I mean, I want everybody to be happy.
I want a great dinner.
If I have to go into debt, which I don't, but I would, to provide it I will.
But here's how you can save.
You're not going to like to hear this, many of you.
Cut the booze out.
The wine, the beer, sparkling water, a little lime, little lemon.
You know, it's perfect.
Water is perfect with turkey and all the trains.
Perfect.
But I know a lot of people want to get buzzed on Thanksgiving.
But if you booze it, that'll add to your tab.
But if you don't and you go with the sparkling water tip or regular ice water,
then the dinner is not going to cost you much more.
Smart Life.
We have lived the Smart Life Magnets.
in the Bill O'Reilly.com Christmas store, I love them. I love them. I mean, live the smart
life, you know, and that's the only way we're going to survive the next two years, and that's
why we're here. Media corruption. This is something. Now, I know I don't have to convince you
the media is corrupt. I know you already know it, but the stats are just mind-boggling.
So the Media Research Center, Conservative Group, but their data is pretty accurate.
analyze Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Trevor Noah, six shows.
From September through the election last week, these combined programs had 47 liberal guests and no conservative guests.
47 liberal Democrats on, no conservative Republicans, none.
Now that's media corruption because all of these shows are owned by massive corporations
that are basically dictating what they do.
So they're blacking out any opposing point of view.
And they're just towing the liberal line, the Democratic line.
It does matter, particularly for younger people who think,
that everybody is liberal everybody's Saturday night live you know all their
friends they don't know there's another point of view a much more
effective point of view if you value problem solving they don't know and this
what reinforces it and these corporations CBS NBC ABC ABC this is what they do
it's incredible not one Republican
on from September to Election Day.
This day in history, 83 years ago, Al Capone was released from prison.
Now, why is this important today?
There is a reason.
So he gets out of prison.
He serves seven and a half years on tax evasion.
Now, this guy's a murderer.
All right?
He sold alcohol, illegal alcohol, but he was involved with all the rackets, everything.
And he, you know, ordered executions all day long.
The Untouchables with Robert De Niro playing Al Capone and Kevin Costner playing Elliott and that's a really good movie.
It's exaggerated a little bit, but it's good.
So if you want to get Al Capone, you watch that movie.
Anyway, his wife, May Capone gets him out after seven and a half years saying that he had reduced mental capabilities, which was true.
He contracted syphilis, and his whole mental state declined.
A doctor said he had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old child.
Anyway, he dies eight years later, Capone, down in Miami.
Now, why am I telling you this?
Because Al Capone corrupted the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois by paying off the politicians.
if they didn't take the money, killing them or members of their family, he did the same thing
with the police agencies, state police and local in Chicago.
He corrupted the whole system.
It has never been fixed, never, which is why you have in Chicago now a horrific crime problem.
Now I'm not going to accuse anybody at taking money or anything like that.
I can't do it. I don't have the data to back it up.
But I will tell you that in law enforcement, something very wrong in that town.
In the mayor's office, very wrong, in the governor's office, very wrong.
It all started with Al Capone, 83 years ago.
All right, we got a good mail segment of final thought that I think you want to hear.
We'll be right back.
Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.
I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce
One.
Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors,
lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States.
These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world.
Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
You don't want to miss an episode.
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 main.
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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
Let's go to the mail. Eli, a concierge member, gets direct access to me. And all the
correspondence is private. If Eli or any of our other concierge members have a problem, come to me.
I'll try to solve it for you. Anyway, Eli says, Bill, you excluded Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and
Pennsylvania in your Trump cannot win list. Is that because they're incompetent or fraudulent?
No, it's a changing demographic. And in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, Trump could
win all those states. It's possible if things get worse.
than they are now, which I believe they will, as I stated.
Those states may vote Republican.
California, Illinois, New York will never.
So that is the difference.
Francesco, Bill, what are the chances of any Republican nominee winning states like California, New York, Colorado, and the rest?
None right now.
Colorado, maybe, but New York, California, gone.
Hubert White, Lawrence, Kansas.
Mr. O'Reilly, I'm curious, what are your thoughts about ranked choice voting as being used in Alaska?
A disaster.
Still don't know.
Out of Alaska now.
Still don't know.
Eight days.
We don't know.
Awful.
Awful.

Why wouldn't the Republican Party pay for a recount of the votes for the Senate seat in Nevada on behalf of Adam Lacksall?
what an excellent question you asked paul so there were a million votes cast in nevada laxhault lost
the senate race by 9000 votes out of a million now you would think that somebody would pay for
the recount 9000 you lose by out of a million i don't know
Greg Drawhorn, Valley Mills, Texas, Mr. O'L last night, you said, could be detrimental for Republicans to investigate the Bidens at this point.
Please elaborate.
I just did with the congressman.
A lot of independents don't want, which hunts?
If you have something, you know, evidence that's fairly solid, then you have to investigate.
But which hunts, no.
Jill, you know, from time to time, over the last couple of years, my husband and I have talked about
the possibility of moving to a different country. That's how fed up we are. But we're not going
to do that because this is the best country. We're staying and we're going to fight for our
republic. Well, good, Joe. I mean, look, I thought about it, you know, just in my old age. I mean,
I'm in my old age now, but my older age, I could go to Ireland and live there comfortably.
I'd go to Switzerland, okay, but Ireland, the health, doesn't compare to here.
So if I get sick, I'm in Ireland, I'm not in America, that's not good.
In Switzerland, it's more of a social thing.
I mean, it's a very closed society in the cantons.
Cantons are like counties, and they're not like welcoming you with pies over there.
They're kind of stolid people.
beautiful place runs perfectly
Swiss watch
but other than that
I'm not a hot weather guy
I could live in the Caribbean for
five months but
you're a little too hot down there so I'm staying
and I'm glad you're staying
now Dave is
listening and watching from Auckland
New Zealand and he says
you in America are in the same place
my country was a few years ago when a socialist
government for the best of reasons
and started to distribute welfare.
In 2022, their well-meaning stupidity
as ruined forever, a nation's desire to work
and archive for themselves and their families.
Please learn from us while there's still time in America.
What a thoughtful letter, Dave.
Now, I don't know.
I've never been in New Zealand.
It's on my list.
Never been there.
But I know that it's a far different country
than it was 20 years ago.
And that it is a welfare state.
New Zealand.
Rick DeSanto,
Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Hey, Bill, even though
Christopher Magnus was fired,
he's being used as a scapegoat at the border.
Doesn't that suggest the Biden
administration knows there's a problem?
Yeah, but they're not going to do anything about it.
These fire guys.
Biden doesn't care.
Come on.
Margo Freer, Medford, Oregon.
Do you have any more feelings about getting the new
COVID-vax? I'm still waiting.
I'm going to get a flu shot.
should have gotten one already
but I'm still waiting for the CDC
to tell me why I need to get another booster.
I got two already.
And a lot of my friends are getting COVID
and they have three, but they're still getting it.
So I'm not getting it
until the CDC spells it out a little more vividly.
I think that makes sense.
Dave Vigil,
hernd in Virginia, my morning ritual
consists of hot organic green tea.

I know people call it a podcast, but this is a broadcast, but that's okay.
You're watching in the morning, day.
You'll be happy to know my sandwich is strictly sour dough due to your wise advice.
Sourdough bread does not contain sugar, and it tastes good.
So why wouldn't you eat it?
Why do you want to eat rye and wheat and white when it turns to sugar?
