Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, July 26, 2021. Stand up for your country. I got a lot to tell you about tonight. I mean, a lot of very interesting stuff you're going to hear nowhere else. So I hope you hang in for the complete broadcast. We begin, as we usually do with President Biden's schedule. At 11.10 a.m., he gave a little speech about the Americans with Disabilities Act. He was a co-sponsor as a senator of that, and that's a good thing.

And then at 2 o'clock, after a nice lunch, he met with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mustafa al-Qadimi. Now, that's an important meeting that nobody's paying attention to, because Biden wants to pull all U.S. troops out of Iraq, just like Barack Obama did, and you know what happened there. OK, ISIS moved in, took over much of the country. Now ISIS is weakened and they're centralized in Africa, so that wouldn't happen again, but Iran will move in. Iran much more powerful than Iraq.

But Biden is very carefully and silently moving troops out of conflicted areas. However, in Afghanistan, the situation after about 10 days is already dire as Taliban move on Kandahar. So U.S. bombers in support of the Afghan government over the weekend let the Taliban. have it. Not going to stop the Taliban. They'll take it over. And Biden's got to know that. I don't think he cares. But I will keep you posted on all of that. So in a new Gallup poll, and Gallup is starting to team me off a little bit because we asked them, look, we need the methodology of your poll and they refuse to give it. Their methodology is how many Democrats, how many Republicans, how many independents do you talk to? There's no reason why they shouldn't give it.

unless there's some slight of hand. So anyway, this poll just released says that Joe Biden has dropped in job approval to 50%, lowest in six months, disapprove 45%. Rasmus and Delling tracking has Biden at 49 approval, disapprove 49. Now, Biden's numbers will continue to fall because you'll continue to pay more for gas, clothing and other stuff you need. You got to buy a car, you can pay a lot more. So once Americans figure that out, they'll blame him. And it is his fault to some extent. Not 100%, but you know, you attack the fossil fuel industry, the oil and gas industry, their price is going to go

up. Okay, so that's where Biden is right now. Let's get to the most important story of the day, which is COVID. some of you are tired of hearing about it, but this affects a lot of things in our lives, COVID. So the latest is that the Centers for Disease Control say that right now in America, those being admitted to the hospitals with COVID, and those stats are up, are 97% unvaccinated. I believe the stat because the hospitals have to. report it. It's not the Centers for Disease Control moving stuff around. The hospitals report. A lot of people don't believe anything the government says, don't believe anything to medical

establishment says, what can I say? I'm a journalist. I look at it. I think this is factual. 97% of people getting severe COVID, so they have to go to the hospital, are unvaccinated. That should wipe out any debate over the efficiency of the vaccine. And remember, it's the Trump vaccine. And remember Donald Trump urge people to take it. Okay. So, right now, we have different

policies, COVID policies, in different places. Because the federal government, and I'm going to get to this in a minute, can't mandate one policy for the whole country in COVID. It's unconstitutional.

Isn't that interesting? in Europe, they don't have the Constitution protections or medical privacy that we have. They don't have it. So in France, today they pass the COVID passport. So if you're vaccinated, 60% of the population is in France, 40 no, you get a passport. And you have to show that passport if you want to go to the cathedral at Notre Dame, the lore of any restaurant, any movies. theater, anything, you got to show the passport. And so hundreds of thousands of French

are out in the streets. They don't like this. And they're demonstrating sometimes violently against the COVID passports. But the government is going to basically hold the line. So if you're a Frenchman and you don't get vaccinated, you're not going to be able to anywhere. And the gendarmes will come and put you in jail if you try. In Germany, they don't have that yet, but there's a big move. The word is, Anhele Merkel is opposed to it. And remember, Germany has all of that history of authoritarianism, of totalitarianism. So it's a more liberal situation than France. Italy is going to have the passport on August 1st.

And the Italians are out in the street, too. They're running around. They don't like it. And so they're showing their displeasure. Greece, the government in Greece, they're forcing all the people get vaccinated. It's more than a vaccine passport. In Greece, the government says, you get vaccinated. I don't know what they're going to do if you don't.

okay um but they say you have to in england not so much in england it's uh you can't go to the pubs and you can't do uh x y and z all right back to the u s so because of medical privacy nobody has a right to ask you your vaccination status so the federal government can't ask you if you're vaccinated or not all right by law But in the states, they can't. Isn't that strange? So federal, they can't. So in the individual states, you could have much harsher vaccination laws or dictums, whatever you want to call it.

But, you know, there's so much controversy here because 30% of our population, which is roughly about 100 million people, they don't want to get axed. Now, I don't see it in California because Newsom may lose his job. He's not going to do it. Cuomo may lose his job. He's not going to do it. But Whitmer in Michigan and the nut in Illinois, Pritzker, they might try. They might try. And how it would work is the same thing in France.

You get a state credential or you can't go anywhere. I'm not predicting they'll do it. because it's a mess and it'll be in court like that, federal court. But the states are different than the federal government. So this is a fascinating story. So in New York City where it's just pure anarchy now, and I get a lot of mail should I come to New York City? No.

No, not now. If you have to come on business, you'll be okay if you get to go to hotel. But you've got to watch your butt in New York City. okay so if you can put off the trip put it off it's not great to be in new york city in august anyway it's a little humid but um the city is just it's incredible so the communist mayor de blasio says all city workers in new york have to be vaccinated or get tested weekly which means they'll torture you so if your sanitation if you're cop if you're working for the city in any other capacity you've got to get tested every week.

You've got to show the credentials. Believe me, you don't want to go through that. But he can't, he can't demand de Blasio that you get vaccinated unless Cuomo backs him up, the governor of the state, and Cuomo's not going to do that. So this is how government works, federal, state, local. And they all have different rules. And people, most people don't understand that.

So that's COVID. Now, COVID has been used by the left wing, by the Democratic Party, to amass power. So in order to get socialism to get progressive policies, you need a strong central government in Washington. You can't do it any other way because most of the states aren't going to cooperate with socialism. They're not. So by having COVID as an issue, the far left push everybody goes, well, why are they so invested in having COVID, COVID vaccination? Because they want power in the hands of the central government. That's what they want.

It's funny because they accused Trump of being a totalitarian. And he had a streak or has a streak of that, but nothing like the progressive left. So that's what the left uses COVID for. want to control. And that's why many conservatives say, oh, you're not going to control me. Don't tread on me. I'm not doing it.

Okay. Now, the Republican leadership, Mitch McConnell or those people there, and even Donald Trump, is asking conservative traditional Americans to get vexed. But a lot of the politicians and the pundits on TV are not because they don't want

lose that 30% of the constituency. So I get mail all the time because I'm quite clear and have been from the very beginning that I believe the vaccination is good for you. Not as necessary, which I think it is too, but it's good for you because it protects you from a deadly disease and others. Now that's been my posture from day one, but I get lots of mail. Oh, you hate us, you're demeaning, you know, all that. But I don't do that game. I don't play that game. You know that.

All right, I'm looking out for you in the country, and I'm going to put forth whatever I think is best for you and for the country. But I've always said, if you don't want to get vacs, you have the constitutional right not to. They can't force you, but you will suffer in access to certain things. And you may get it. And you may die if you're older and have a, a weak immune system, and you may pass it on to your family.

All those are possibilities. Okay, so both the left and the right are using COVID in ways that are not looking out for individual Americans. Finally, real quick, Indiana University at Bloomington, giving an award, Distinguished Leadership Award to Anthony Fauci. All right, so he gets award, but he's not showing up. Virtual ceremony in December. previous award

recipients Jeffs and Elders Greg Luganis C. Edward C.E. Edward C. All right. Do I care that Fauci's getting an award? I do not. I don't care. Do I trust Anthony Fauci? I do not. Did Anthony Fauci oversee money

going to Wuhan lab? Yeah. Yeah, I did. DeRamp Paul is right. All right, Olympics. Now, they're a bomb already. And there's two reasons why. COVID is the first. It's not fun. Nobody's having a lot of fun over there, but he's afraid they're going to get COVID. Okay. And there's no joy. It's just, ugh. The Japanese don't want the Olympics. Most of the people there are against it, according to polls over there. So it's not fun. And then there's politics. So in the opening ceremony on Friday, 16.7 million U.S. TV viewers watch. That's a 33-year low. All right, it's down 37% from four years ago in Rio,

and it's down 59%, whopping 59% from 212 London-England Games. And part of the reason is political, okay? And you know, I'll know that. Everybody knows that. So right now, athletics, whether it be professional, or amateur are identified with progressives because they're the big mouths. But here's the truth. Most of these athletes aren't political.

They're not. I mean, Katie Ledecki, probably the American's best athlete over there now, it's amazing athlete. It's not political. Most of them are just hardworking American kids that I root for. But I have to confess, I'm not watching a lot of it. It's not for a political reason. I'm just, it has not engaged me.

So the worst offender are the women's soccer team, all right, led by Megan Rapido. Go. The reason that we're here is because we never have actually had a reckoning with what our country really is. Like, this is America. Make no mistake about it. I think we showed very much our true colors. This is not the first time we've seen a murderous mob like that. I think, you know, unleashing a white supremacist mob is nothing new to America.

As, you know, people of color, black and brown, know that very well. She's talking about the Capitol riot. Unleashing a white supremacist mob is nothing new to America. That's just dumb. All right. Offensive, misleading, whatever you want to say. So she's the face of the soccer team. So I think more Americans are rooting for the soccer team to lose than a win. Then you had the head of the basketball team, U.S. men's, Greg Popovich.

Go. Well, I think it's pretty obvious. The league is made up of the... a lot of black guys you know so to honor that and understand it is pretty simplistic uh how would you ignore that but more importantly you know we live in a racist country that hasn't figured it out yet and it's always important to bring attention to it even if it angers some people no we live in a racist country all right now both miss rapineau and mr popovich are entitled to their opinion

Okay? I think both of them are very ignorant. They could not stand up to a debate with me, all right? They would never do it because they know it would be over in the first round. But they feel necessary, it's necessary, for them to diminish their country when both of them are very wealthy individuals using our system to amass wealth. so one of them says white supremacist's mobs are that's common the other one says ah we're a racist country why do you live here gregg you're not trying to improve anything bud you're a basketball coach

you just want to win games you're not going out trying to do anything positive so anyway am i going to watch the men's basketball i don't know i mean they play who do they They lost to France, and now they play Iran. I'd like to see them kick Iran's blood. Iran's worse than these people. And then the Czech Republic. I kind of like the Czech Republic, so I don't know who I'm going to root for. The women, they beat, who do they beat?

They beat somebody. I'm not following them much money. Will I watch the women? I will not. I will not watch them. They beat New Zealand. Poor New Zealand. Six to one.

So they play Australia tomorrow. the women's soccer. We won't watch it. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Thoreau, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text Bill to 9988-9-8-9. Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998899.

Let's bring in Lauren Conlin. She hosts a podcast called Red Carpet Rendezvous. She is a contributor on 77 WABC Radio in New York City, where I am as well. So, Lauren, you're much more in touch with the younger folks than I am. I frightened them. And so if I try to talk to them, they run and in terror. Oh, my God. Sure.

Okay. So it's younger people under 60 that have basically said, no more TV. We're not going to watch shows. We're not going to watch news. We're not going to watch anything. Why? So I think, number one, we are a generation that has completely lost its sense of humor, right? So in order to enjoy a sitcom, you have to have a sense of humor.

And my generation and people younger than me, they're way too worried about being woke than being entertained. And as far as the news goes, it just doesn't align with, you know, their agenda right now. So it's, you know, it's today's culture, it really makes me sad as well, even though it's people my age that are causing all of these issues. And I am well aware of it. And I recognize that. And everything is literal. There are no sitcoms for the first time in television history. There's not one new sitcom coming on in the fall.

So you said, I don't have a sense of humor. They're invested in being virtuous, virtue, world culture, all of that. And so they're not going to watch Hawaii 50 or the Blue Bloods or they're not interested. No. Doesn't speak to them in the current. lexicon so yes it doesn't speak to them exactly right it doesn't engage them so where where then um if all of the media is falling apart and it is you know the average age watching cable tv now average age is over 70 over 70 when i was in the seat at fox i did a thousand i'm sorry i

did a million, 25 to 54s. A million, 25 to 504s we hit. Now, if they do 400,000, they're like, you know, popping balloons. So where do we go now? Is it just going to be tribes all over America? Because there's no unifying force. It used to be the media was a unifying force to some degree in a culture. Now it isn't. Yes, I agree with you. And it's interesting because over six million homes have dropped their cable plan over the last year. So, and it's just expected to get worse at this time. Everyone's listening to podcasts or, you know, like we talked about before, they're just not interested in the news.

And now conservatives, on the other hand, have no interest in watching TV because they think that Hollywood is pushing their liberal agenda on them somehow in their script writing or whatever it might be. And they hate them so much, in fact, that they refuse to support awards. shows at this point. So it's, you know, it makes me pretty sad what's, what's happening right now, only because TV in general is meant to entertain us and inform us. Well, it was, as I said, a unifying force culturally in America. All right, so everybody knew Ed Sullivan's show, the Beatles, Elvis, when they were on there, they knew the TV shows and in the history

segment. Later on, I'm going to give you the top 10 shows 50 years ago in 1971. You'll be interested to hear that even if you weren't alive then. Yes. But anyway, how do you see under 60 Americans, under 60 years old? Where do I know the podcast, but there are like hundreds of thousands of podcasts. How do you find all this? It's like the Tower of Babel. Is it a little bit of a little bit of a little bit? Is it? No, you're right. How's that kind of You're absolutely right. It's so hard to find podcasts. I mean, for me, it's crazy because Apple has so much control over this algorithm that just puts the most popular podcast in front of you or, you know, somebody paid XYZ to get their name out there. But, no, unless you're Joe Rogan or unless you,

you know, you have a big network backing you, it's going to be hard to find certain podcasts, let's say. But no, people are still listening because they're just, they're more relevant. And they're cooler. And people are also getting their news from, believe it or not, TikTok. I don't condone it, but that's what's happening. I don't even know what that is. I don't even know what TikTok is. Yes, you do.

You know TikTok. I heard the name, but what is it? Okay, so it's the app. It's actually really fun. I even feel like I'm too old for it. But basically people do all sorts of parodies and, you know, on news or on recipes or, you know, movie scenes, and they just turn viral because they entertain people. So people give their opinions on a wide variety of subjects. It goes on TikTok.

Didn't the Chinese invent that or something? Is that something to do with the commies over there TikTok? Yes, they did. And it's also, it's gotten pretty bad for young teens as well because it's a little, it's a little sexual. It's a little risque. Like, I would not let me pay these Oh, editors on TikTok. All right, Lauren. I want you to come back and talk to us from time and time about things that I don't understand because now I know what TikTok is. Yes, I am here for you, Bill.

Whatever you need. I am here for you. Thank you, Lauren. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Okay. Cleveland Indians. Okay, so I wrote a book before killing the mob called Killing Crazy Horse, The Merciless Indian Wars in America.

And when I gave the publisher the title, there was concern about putting the words Merciless Indian in the subtitle of the book. And I said to them, well, what else would you like me to say that the wars were merciless? Everybody knows that. And they were called the Indian Wars by historians. because it was the whites against the Indians. Couldn't call it the white wars. Nobody would know what they were talking about.

So I got the title on the book. But I remember thinking to myself, this is crazy. Indian now is some kind of buzzword, some kind of insult. Now, Redskins, I understand. I wouldn't have dropped the name because it was used as an homage. Hail to the Redskins is the song that the football team used to sing.

But I understand when you get into skin color, I mean, emotions go wild. But the Cleveland Indians? And so that name, which was in place since 1915, okay? I bet you don't know the first name of the Cleveland baseball team, 1907. Bluebirds. How about that, huh? So the Cleveland Indians are gone. Now they're the Cleveland Guardians.

I guess they're guarding Lake Erie. I'm not quite sure what they're guarding. But no more Indians. Now, I always say to people, you can't demonize someone who thinks that the word Indian is racist. You can explain your point of view, but if you're a Native American and you don't want to hear the word Indian, you have a right. You have a right. But to cave in to all of this madness, Oriental, can't say it anymore.

Why? Nobody quite knows why. Oh, somebody way back used to in a derogatory way. What? So this madness, and that's what it is, politically correct madness, is just really. running while right now. There will be a backlash, but it's too late to save the Cleveland Indians. Okay, the Catholic Church and Biden and Pelosi. So I'm going to wait on Biden. I'm going to deal with Pelosi today. Same issue. The Catholic Church believes killing a fetus is a grave sin.

because the theology of the church says that all life comes from God and you can't take it. That's simple philosophy. Okay? Now you can apply to a capital punishment. I don't believe in a death penalty. I've said it many times. If I were in charge, the murderers and the rapists and all these people would be sentenced to prison. They'd wish they were dead

when I got through with them. but I don't believe in a state taking a life. So Pelosi and Biden not only are what they call pro-choice, whereby they want American women to be able to have unaccent, unfettered access to abortion. That means any time, anywhere for any reason. A half hour before birth. They're okay.

And both of them want you and me to pay for that. taxpayers pay for it. So here's Pelosi's position. Go. Because it's an issue of health of many women in America, especially those in lower income situations and in different states. And it is something that has been a priority for many of us a long time. As a devout Catholic and mother of five in six years. I feel that God bless my husband and me with our beautiful family, five children, six years almost to the day. But that may not be what we should. It's not up to me to dictate that that's what other people should do. And it's an issue of fairness and justice for poor women in our country. All right. It's not up to me to dictate. Well, you're not dictating. You're

promoting. So you're making it easier and you want people who don't believe that this is a moral practice to pay for it. That's what it is. So the Archbishop of San Francisco, who has spoken to Pelosi privately, Salvatore Cordleone, he is scathing. And here's what he says, quote. Let me repeat, no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it. The right to life is a fundamental, the most fundamental human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights. The smoke scream of abortion as an issue of health and fairness to poor women is the epitome of hypocrisy. What about the health of the baby being killed? What about giving poor

women real choice, so they are supported in choosing life. This would give them fairness and equality to women of means who can afford to bring a child into the world, unquote. So Pelosi will be denied communion, I predict, by this archbishop in San Francisco. Because his argument is you can't say you're a devout Catholic and do what you're doing, because it's in the public eye. It's in the public eye. So I believe Pelosi is going to be sanctioned and soon, okay? Is that the right thing to do? What else can the Catholic Church do? This is a core of its theology. What else can it do? Now, I know the church is frightened. I know it's devoid of leadership in America and mostly around the world. I understand that.

but if you're going to abandon your core theological tenant, then there is no church. But I almost have to do it. Okay, let's get to the panel that Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate the capital riot. So, Pelosi, here's the problem with the panel. It's a tremendous waste of money. Because even if Nancy Pelosi's panel,

came up with something, startling, and true. Half the country wouldn't believe it because it's Nancy Pelosi. It's got no credibility. So even if she found something horrible that all Americans should know about, half the people aren't going to believe it. That's how bad her image is. So, as you know, she dumped a couple of conservative House members

off the panel, and she appointed Adam Kisinger to stand around. He hates Trump. And this is going nowhere, this panel. Okay. Now, the reason Pelosi wants it so badly is she wants to tie Trump into the capital riot. She wants to say, we have evidence that Trump did it. He is the guy who did it.

That wipes him out for any future politics. And it creates massive diversions. next year in the mid-term elections. That's what this is all about. Not about finding anything, but the FBI, that's what they're doing. That's what they're investigating. So is Nancy Pelosi panel better than the G-Men?

I know the G-Men have an image problem as well, but come on. So this is just a hollow joke. Oregon, beautiful state. You know, I work there at Channel 2, K-A-T-U-T-T-U-TV in Portland are at 4.2 million Oregonians. 813,000 live in Multnomah County, maybe the most radical left county in the country. Okay. So they have three major universities. Oregon, Oregon State, Portland State. All right. In 2020 last year, 98% of all faculty donations from those three

universities went to Democrats, 98%. Get a one-party state in Oregon. Color of Change. George Soros, our pal, giving them a million dollars, a million dollars. What is color of change? It is an activist far-left group that wants to defund and destroy the police. That's what it wants to do. I've run up against them. They are subversive and vicious. Subversive and vicious. But not only did George Soros give them money, Jennifer Aniston gave him money,

Brad Pitt, Anna Kendrick, Michael B. Jordan, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga. Hate the police. Those celebrities gave color of change money. USA Today took a poll in Detroit, 78% African-American in the city of Detroit. 90% they said, told USA Today, they want more cops. More cops.

90%. Unbelievable. Ben and Jerry, as you know, they're pulling out of what they call Israeli-occupied Palestine and closing their ice cream stores there. So in Florida and Texas, they're taking revenge on Ben and Jerry. This bureaucratic stuff, it's a symbolic deal. Ben and Jerry, Ben Cohen, Jerry Greenfield, both Jewish. They sold to Unilever.

They're Ben and Jerry. But they still run a company, those guys. But Unilever is behind the decision. They own the company. This season in history, all right? right now. Top 10 shows for 1970, 71, 50 years ago. Here they are. Number one, Marcus Welby, 30 million viewers. Flip Wilson, 28 million viewers. Now, this is an interesting guy. Okay. He left after this huge success. All right, he left showbiz. He died at age 64,

liver cancer. He had some drug beefs, some domestic problems. But he was the second highest rated show 50 years ago. Here's Lucy number three, Ironside. It's Raymond Burr. He was Perry Mason, four, gun smoke, five, movie of the week, six, Hawaii 50, Jack Lord, seven, medical center, eight, bonanza at the end of its run, nine, FBI, 10. And everybody watched that show. It's 20 millions and millions and millions of people, and then everybody talk about it.

And that's what I was saying. That's the cultural thing. Now, forget it. If you get five million. If you get five, you're a huge hit. On cable, if you do three million, you're a big hit. All right, quick break. We got a good mail segment and a final thought that I think will help your life.

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 1. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce 1 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 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. It's at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, let's go to the mail. George, thank you, Bill, for your new column entitled, I'm Critical of Critical Race Theory. We need a continuing focus on the insidious evil of this dangerous anti-American material being planted

in the minds of our children. Gary, I agree with you, Bill. C.R.T. is horrendous. Name a country where a minority of less than 13%, that would be African Americans, has the opportunities that blacks have in America. I don't think there is one. There are some Europe countries where blacks can do well,

but not the opportunity they have here. Sharon, I'm sorry, let's go to Lloyd. Lloyd, critical race theory, will create more races. The blacks will be taught whites are the devil, while whites will hate being called the devil. Very good. Sharon, do state and federal authorities still drug test people who receive

government benefits. They never did. Only private employers can drug test. State and feds don't do it. Randy McCoy, Arlington, Texas. Hey Bill, I'm curious why every poll seems to have more Democrats than Republicans. It goes to voter registration

because California is by far in a way the biggest populated state, and I think it's 70% are registered Democrats. That's why. You get more registered Democrats than Republicans. Dawn Rudder, St. Peter's, Missouri, based on your influence, O'Reilly, I'm beginning to consider getting the COVID-vax. I'm curious as to why, since the beginning of the pandemic, the homeless weren't the hardest hit. We don't know that.

We don't know. They don't break it down by homeless. Okay, that's not a stat that's in play. Jan Pfeiffer, Woodland, California. The argument over the definition of gain of function completely misses the point. American tax dollars should not be. be funding any research in China. We have no oversight. Right on. What a good letter, Jan. You are absolutely right. Richard Linerd, Walnut Creek, California. The Trump O'Reilly Tour is a great idea.

A question, I would like you to ask the president, what was the thought process behind selecting Christopher Ray as the FBI director? We will get into the FBI and Mr. Ray. And, you know, I think Donald Trump's a little disenchanted there, so that'll be interesting. Thomas Gibson, Reed's Landing, Minnesota, regarding the Trump history tour, the question is going to be the same for each show. No. Donald Trump, you know, no. I got tons, tons of questions. There'll be some repeats, like the VACs, but every show will be different. So the shows are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on December 11th, Orlando, the 12th, December 18th, Houston, December 19th, Dallas. All the IP tickets sold out except we have five left in Orlando, five. All VIPs sold out, and they are by far the most

expensive tickets. You can have nice seats, though, but if you want to go, you got to get involved now. Chrissy Wilson, Paducah, Kentucky, I would like to read the killing books related to World War II, but I don't know which order. You start with killing the Rising Sun, you go to killing Patton, and then you go to killing the SS. That sequentially will tell you everything you know. You need to know about World War, too. Okay, word of the day, do not be Jejun, J-E, J-U-N-E. Great word. J-J-J-June.

Back with a final thought in a moment. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post

wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, here's the final thought of the day. In golf, you have the long game,

which is driving and hitting the ball as far as you can. And you have the short game, which is getting a ball the green, putting, things like that. So in life, you have the same thing. The long game and the short game. Now, one of my weaknesses was I didn't have a long game. I reacted immediately to almost everything and it hurt me. I was at CBS News. They bigfooted me, which means I put my life on the line. I do a story. I did it well. They took the story away and gave it to somebody who

wasn't even close to the action. And I just blew up. Like, I didn't play the long game. And that hurt me. If I had been more mature, I would have stepped back and said, all right, I'm going to write this wrong, but I'm going to do it in a much different way than confrontation. I'm not going to be confrontational. So as I get older, the long game, and I don't have a long game now, you know, I mean, I'm not like I'm 30, okay?

But the long game makes more sense. Because you can do more things effectively if you plan, if you step back, if you can discipline your, not to react to wrong. Do I have something this weekend? Something I really wanted to do and it involved this right, right? But that would have been horrible. But I didn't. But the long game will kick in. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but it required discipline, my discipline to pull back. It was the wrong. I wanted to write it right then. I'll write the wrong.

but it'll take my time doing it whenever you have you get upset whenever something going wrong in your life step back make a nice glass of water think about the long game sometimes you have to use a short game particularly when you're defending yourself you have to but the long game is usually better thanks for watching see you tomorrow
