Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, April 14th, 2021, stand up for your country. So what did President Biden do today? What was he up to? Let's take a look. Two things. He usually has one and two. at 215, President delivered remarks on the way forward in Afghanistan. U.S. troops will be out of there

on the 20th anniversary of 9-11, September 11. Then at 305, President visited Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery. That is where service members who died in recent conflicts, including Afghanistan, are buried. That was it. Another, you know, not so intense. day for President Biden. I guess he's pacing himself, waiting for Vice President Harris to go to the border. Maybe she's going to go now. She says she might. We don't know when. And then when she does, he'll have to report back to President Biden. So he's probably pacing himself to rest up for that. All right. So how about you? How are you doing with your wallet? We went over personal finance yesterday. I hope you enjoyed that segment. I hope it did you some good. Don't

waste money, you're going to need it. Gas prices on the rise, and this is because of President Biden attacking the oil industry. So in March, gas prices rose 9% in one month. And I told you this is going to happen. Gasoline is 93 cents higher than it was a year ago today. All right, 93%. And the highest price in the country is San Francisco. Francisco. They deserve it. About $4 a gallon out there. So all the taxes in San Francisco's high prices in general. Lowest price in the nation, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the capital city of the Bayou State. Okay. Now, let's go to another part of your wallet, grocery prices. I didn't know this. And I'm usually on it. I knew that energy prices. And where do you see your air

conditioning bill, you guys in the south and Arizona, where do you see it? All right? It's going to be crazy. So grocery prices are up 2% primarily fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, and eggs risen by a half percent. Well, why is this happening? Why grocery prices going up? Well, it's associated it with gas because the trucks that deliver the groceries have to pay more for gas. So therefore, the delivery prices go up and your grocery prices go up. You see how it's all linked? Okay, so this is going to get a lot worse because when President Biden submits his astronomical tax rise on corporations and the affluent, and I say astronomical because,

Because if the corporate tax rate in America goes back to 29%, or 28%, it will be one of the highest in the world, in the developing world. So it's not like me. I'm not saying this. This is the way it is. So once that happens, then every industry is going to raise prices because they're not going to take a 7,8% haircut. They're going to pass the cost along to you. Now, you don't have to buy. and right now it's a good time to buy a bunch of stuff because the interest rates are so low,

but keep that in mind. It's coming. And your salary is not going up. In fact, people will start to get laid off after the pandemic surge. As I said, the pandemic surge is going to happen between now and November, where people will be out, they'll be spending more money, venues will be open, vacations will start up again, all that. But come November, if this price, If this tax rise kicks in, then you're going to start to see it. Maybe after Christmas. Now, once companies are taxed more, they cut back on hiring. And so salaries are going to go down.

Remember, one of the hallmarks of the Trump economy was that the median salary range for everybody rose. And, you know, when you hear the progressive say, oh, the Trump, economy just benefited the rich, that's a lot, benefited working Americans most. The stock market was good, so that's what helped the rich. Okay, so just recapping, you got to watch your money because the Biden administration is going to take as much from you, no matter how much you earn as it can. It's got $5 trillion in new spending on the board. We got $27 trillion in debt now. so the socialism is in full swing. The government does everything, provides everything, and then you give the government most of what you have. That is what the progressives want,

and Joe Biden's going along with. So let's go to Minnesota. So the police officer who shot a 20-year-old Dante, she is now going to be charged. Her name is Kim Potter, all right, 26 years on the force, she's going to be charged with second-degree manslaughter, okay? So what is that? Basically, a person's culpable negligence violates another person by creating an unreasonable risk and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to the other person. So she'll be charged with that. That's second-degree manslaughter.

And if convicted, she'd get 10 years in prison. It's another very intense case. The state of Minnesota will bring it. There's no doubt in my mind because it is a progressive state. They're going to bring it. So this woman who made a mistake, she panicked. Now that I have looked and looked and looked, I see panic there. She panicked.

26 years on the force. and shot the kid and that should never have happened. Now, Fox News is reporting that Antifa has shown up in Brooklyn, Minnesota. I don't know whether that's true. That's what they're reporting. I'm not surprised because Antifa wants the country to be torn down. He wants to burn the country. That's what Antifa wants.

Let's keep that in mind because we have a lot. another segment coming up. So last night, the police arrested 60 people for rioting and other fences, all in Brooklyn, Minnesota. Crowd size is 800 to 1,000 people. All right. Now, the curfew is 7 p.m. to 6. They violated the curfew. They didn't do a lot of damage because the National Guard is out and they are keeping them away from, but they did some. Okay? So 60 arrested, Antifa in the crowd, and this is ongoing. Hasn't gotten out of control because of the National Guard. Now, Dante Wright, the young man who was killed by Officer Potter, his story has not been told by the corporate media, which is corrupt, as you know. Now, I am not

justifying anything. I'm not trying this case on television. I'm not indicting the police officer or condemning Dante Wright. I am telling you what is in play in this case. The reason the police wanted to cuff Mr. Wright and tried to do that is that he had an outstanding warrant. That means he did not show up to a legal hearing. Mr. Wright was charged and released on $100,000 bail. That's a big ticket. That's 10,000 cash. He was charged with charge. choking a woman and threatening her with a handgun and demanding that she give him $820 that she had on her person. Okay? That's a felony. That's what Mr. Wright was charged with. Now think back. Did you hear that on any of the network news programs or the cable news programs outside of Fox?

I didn't. Maybe you did. If you did let me know, please. So this is a serious situation that once the police ran the plate of Dante Wright, that outstanding warrant on a serious charge came up. They had to arrest it or try. Then he tried to flee. Now, as I said yesterday, you don't shoot anybody unless they have a weapon, and that concludes a knife. You don't shoot them for trying to flee because you have their information.

You know who they are. You can get them in a more orderly way later. If the police officers are in danger, then you can shoot. But not if the police officers, not. And they weren't in danger as a videotape clearly shows. Right. Was trying to get away. All right, again, that's the situation in totality.

I have given you all the facts of the case. We are not going to try this case. That police officer told you yesterday her whole life is ruined. Okay? And Dante Wright is dead. This is horrible. Nothing good about this. But for those of you writing to me, taking one side or another, I wouldn't do that. As with the George Floyd case, let it unfold. I've been watching the Floyd defense. It's weak. All right? His lawyers don't have much. Shabin's lawyers don't have much. And I expect a second-degree murder. conviction in that case i hope i'm wrong because i never want to see any police officer all right he has to be convicted of something shop but do i want him to send 20 years in prison no i do not believe he intentionally meant to kill mr floyd but he's going to have to do some time

and that will happen i believe because the defense didn't have don't know how much okay so there we are now um the press in america is so corrupt at this point is not going to report anything that goes against the narrative that america is bad that we're a racist country that white people are bad that the police are bad if the narrative goes against that it will not be reported what a situation now front line PBS used to be a great program. It is no longer. So Frontline does a show last night called American Insurrection. It looks at the threats to America from extremist groups. So if you were a balanced presentation, you'd do both the right and the left. That didn't happen. It was just the right, as I knew it

would be. I signed my producers. I said, watch this show because I didn't have time to do it. And I guarantee you, it's all going to be threats from the right, none from the left. And that's exactly what happened. Roll the tape. Does Antifa exist? It's not an organization. It's a movement. You have groups of people that associate with them. Do they show up at protest? Sure. Is it a massive conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government and kill a lot of people? No. Do you know where that is? It's on the right. It's in the white supremacist movement. Not a bunch of garbage. So I guess that woman, Misses Portland, Oregon, Mrs. Seattle, Mrs. Minneapolis.

It doesn't quite get that Portland, Oregon is being burned to the ground, that Seattle, whole sections of the city taken over by Antifa. It doesn't quite know. It's a state of mind. See, this is the progressive mantra. I don't worry about those people. They don't really want to do great harm, no. And they're not a threat.

I'll tell you what. I know they're nuts on the right. I know that. There have been Nazi groups and clan groups forever, forever. And they're dangerous. Look at Oklahoma City. They're dangerous. They can hurt any, every American. But there's not many of them. And they're pariahs. Okay? Everybody condemns them. Everybody in polite society, sane society condemns them. They have no constituency outside of Lunesville. They got no power, all right? No matter what the media tells you, front line tells you, they don't have any power. They're a bunch of people running around on the Internet, hiding in their basement.

They got guns. So you got to take them seriously, but you know the FBI is all over them. But Antifa? They're out burning down Portland, Oregon. Do you miss that? Sheesh. Frontline. Pot.

Marijuana. All right. Now, I get a lot of letters from people who enjoy marijuana. I don't care. As long as you're an adult, I want to smoke marijuana in your house, knock yourself out. I was raised and went to school in the Vietnam era. They were marijuana everywhere. Did I care? Nah, I didn't really care. I didn't hang out with the stoners. It was boring to me. The strobe light hurt my eyes. All right? Lead Zeppelin and, what was it? the God of the Vita. I mean, enough already. I didn't need it. I liked fresh air. I didn't want smoke in my face. But if you do, if you like it, all right, just don't hurt anybody. Don't get

in your car. All right? Don't wander around in an inebriated state to stay in your house. So now, New York, third largest state, fourth largest state in the country, has legalized pot. for recreational purposes. So this builds on the unbelievable disorder we have in New York City. So let's make it worse. And this is Andrew Cuomo, the governor, and Bill de Blasio, the mayor. I mean, these guys talk about Abbott and Costello. I mean, that's an insult to Abbott and Costello. These guys have destroyed the state and the city respectively. But let's make it worse. Let's have everybody smoking pot on the subways, in the buses. Let's do that. We only have eight and a half million people. Let's have a million of them. Lighten up. You can't even smoke

cigarettes, but you can light up the pot. Go right ahead. Oh, my God. So again, if you're an adult and you want to be stoned, okay. All right, don't call me up. I don't want to hang with you, but okay. But the kids, the kids, right? All right, so think back when you were a teenager, 12, 13 years old. Now it's even younger than that. My thug friends out in Levitown, we got marlboros from older kids and we would sneak behind the stores and light them up and this and that. I tried it twice. It was ridiculous. Smoke in my lungs. I mean, I was an athlete so I didn't care anyway, but I never did it again. All right. And then beer. Beer, it was everywhere. A summer night, here come the older kids, selling or giving us the beer, we're 1213.

That's been going on forever in this country. It's been going on forever in all countries. It just happens. Now you're going to introduce a powerful narcotic drug marijuana, which is 10 times more powerful than it was at Woodstock. It's got all kinds of stuff in it. You can lace it with everything. Now, you say, oh, the kids can get it anyway.

That's true in some places. In my town here on Long Island, where I am, hard to get it. There are kids selling it, okay, but it's hard. And if the schools find out you have it or you sell it, you're in big trouble. So there's not kids hanging around smoking pot where I am. And I get around. Now, you go into Manhattan and you see it more. But now you're going to see it everywhere.

Okay, kids, 11, 12, 13 are going to get marijuana and they're going to use it. Boom, their childhood is over. Cuomo doesn't care. De Blasio doesn't care. The people in Colorado don't care. So their childhood's over. So what? Grow up.

This is going to lead to a tremendous amount of problems. It has to. There's no way. So if you and your little world want to smoke pot and are happy. it's legalized, okay, but you're not looking out for the kids. You're not. Know that. So in the United States now, there are 15 states, soon to be more, that are legalizing parties. They always have to say, oh, we want to tax money. Well, you're going to spend a lot more tax money for putting kids in drug rehab, all right? And for drunk driving DUIs involving marijuana.

And you don't even have a test for that yet. Okay. So there are 15 states. and the District of Columbia of course that have legalized marijuana I want to bring in a guy who knows what he's talking about here and I had to go all the way to Dublin Ireland to find him okay his name is Dr. Bobby Smith and he's a clinical lecturer at Trinity College in Dublin I was at Trinity a few years ago looking at the book of Kells one of the most amazing pieces of history in the world Trinity is an excellent school. So the doctor has studied marijuana, and I'm going to run down some of the things that he's talked about one by one. First, doctor, thank you for coming and talk to us.

It's evening over in Ireland, correct? Yes, it is, yeah. Okay. Five hours ahead of us on East Coast, I think. Okay, so you have reported that there's been a five-fold increase in 10th grade students using marijuana in the USA between 1991 and 2020, all right, 20 years about, five-fold increase. Why is that? I suppose no one knows exactly why. Obviously, as a European-based doctor, I'm trying to look at your policies, your cannabis policies in the United States, and they're very, very different to those in Europe. There was a big movement around medical. marijuana which started in the mid-1990s and that probably softened up public opinion and perhaps teenage opinion towards cannabis and that's obviously been followed by the legalization which started

in Colorado in 2014 and certainly against that backdrop you've seen this it's been a bit of an up-down journey from the levels into 1991 to those seen in 2020 but it is a fivefold increase in the number of teenagers, 16-year-olds who are smoking cannabis on a daily basis. That's amazing. Now, I think it's safe to say that there isn't a stigma to smoking pot anymore in the USA. And I guess it's the same in Ireland as well. Certainly, it's reduced. And it's like I'm quoting data from what's called monitoring the future survey, which is done every year across the United States. And they also ask young people actually about their attitudes to cannabis, their perception of risk, whether or not they would

disapprove of others and disapproval ratings of other people smoking cannabis have dropped a lot in conjunction with the increased use. So we see that globally. That as perception of risk goes down, use goes up. Did you ever see the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Did you ever see that movie? No, I'm afraid it didn't know. Okay. So that had Sean Penn as a guy named Spacoli and very popular here in America. And he was a stoner and his crew were stoners and they were in high school. were funny. It was very funny. But the media's subliminal message in Hollywood, in the news, and everything else is that pot's fine. There's nothing wrong with pot. If you're skeptical about it as I am, you're some kind of weird kook. That's the way it is here. Yeah, and that's a narrative

that's really common globally. My clinical job is I work in an addiction service for teenagers. and I started 18 years ago and cannabis wasn't really wasn't a big issue or concern back then were opiates but cannabis now accounts for probably 70% of my work and what's really shocked me

about the problems I'm seeing amongst the young people I see given this reputation of it been a chill out drug is that the biggest problem that their families experience is anger, aggression, threats, intimidation from their

previously placid, you know, content teenage son. So that sort of mood instability and aggressive side of cannabis that we see in our clinical work has sort of blindsided me based on my expectations that I maybe had 15 years ago or so. So it's not the mellow drug. Why are these kids angry, the kids that are coming to you for help? Why are they angry about why has their personality changed since they started smoking pot? I suppose the kids who are seeing me are seeing me because they've lost control of their relationship with this drug. They're addicted to it.

So some will be cycling in and out of withdrawals. We use and think cannabis caused withdrawals. We now know it can and does. They're psychological. They're not the same sort of physical withdrawals you get with heroin or with alcohol. But people get unstable mood and problems like that. And having an addiction is stressful. How common is marijuana addiction?

The stat I have is a third of kids who use marijuana on a regular basis, a couple of times a week, get addicted to it. Is that accurate? Yeah, that is accurate. It's about one third. Okay. So once you get addicted to it, that means you need it. You have to use it. And then you're saying that that develops some kind of psychosis.

and your personality changes? I wouldn't call it a psychosis. I would call it certainly for many of the young people. It's an increased liability to anger, particularly actually with people closest to them, as in their family. The issue around psychosis is certainly a concern for a smaller minority of young people.

The research, which is... Last question, and I want you to put on your drug, rehab hat here. In my house, we have no tolerance for drugs. So my kids can't use them and still live in the house. They know that. They don't use them, all right, because we've had a lot of discussions. And we discuss all of this. And the same thing with booze. Nobody's coming home drunk. Nobody's getting drunk. All right. I said, you want to do that when you're an adult? You go ahead. When you're not doing it here, it's my responsibility is a parent to keep you sober and to keep you healthy in the best way I can. And the best way I can

is telling you, no, there'll be a severe sanction if you use drugs and alcohol. So far, that's worked for me. But am I on the right track here, or should I be more understanding? No, I would certainly encourage parents to have a high expectation that your kids make healthy choices and not engaging in unhealthy behaviors. I mightn't be so fast to say, kick them out of the house if they were to slip or mess up. I wouldn't kick them out. Okay. I wouldn't kick them out, but there would be a sanction, all right? There would be absolutely, they'd have to go to talk to somebody like you. There would be privileges taken away, all of that. That all makes sense to me. I think it's good for parents to give a clear, unambiguous message that we think

this is a dangerous, risky thing for you to do, and there's some consequence where people fall short of those expectations. You know, I know parents just smoke pot in front of their kids, because it's pretty hard to hide it in the house with the smell. I know parents who do that. I think that's child abuse. Certainly all the research indicates where the more substance as a parent uses, the more likelihood that a kid is going to go down the same path and run into difficulty as well.

Thank you for helping us, doctor. we appreciate it. Say hello to all my pals over an island, okay? Thank you. Thanks, Bell. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

Okay, let's go to Disney. So I do a message of the day. Some of you know that. I hope you all will read it every day. And today I ask a very simple question because I'm a very simple man. And then the question was, is the Walt Disney Corporation the worst company in America. And then I wrote a little bit about what the Disney people are doing. I mean, I hate to really browbeat anybody, but this Disney Corporation, I'm just stunned. First of all, if you want to go to Disney World in Orlando or Disneyland in Anaheim and you have two kids, family of four, and you want to go, it's going to cost you $500 a day. Or more if you get fast pass, 500 bucks. And that's before you get a hot dog or a soda. And I hope you don't get the soda. Okay? We'll talk about that later. But 500 bucks. So poor families and working class families, they can't go. They're priced out. Now, you would think it would be some kind of way

that Disney would come up with a program to make this affordable on certain days or in certain promotions for everybody. No. However, the Guy in charge of experiences and products at the Disney parks, Josh Diomaro. There's Josh. Hey, doesn't he look like a trendy guy? Well, Josh is changing the rules about decorum at the park as far as his employees are concerned. Disney workers will allow, will be allowed to have more. gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices. All right? What that means is

that Annette can now dress up like cubby and vice versa. Okay? And cast members will also be allowed to show appropriate tattoos. So Donald Duck will be able to have, on his beak, bound for hell. or whatever Donald wants to have. Ducks are great. So tattoos and gender fluid costumes are now allowed at Disney World and Disneyland. By-bye tradition. Buy-bye nice atmosphere, traditional atmosphere for little kids. Let's get those tattoos flowing.

So this nut tomorrow, and nut is my opinion. okay just my opinion not maybe I should rephrase I think I should this guy tomorrow he says quote inclusion is essential to our culture oh it's so profound

and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling exceptional service and Disney magic now Walt Disney You know, I know it's a cliche, but he's got to be spinning, right? Oh, God. Walt Disney, everybody, the Disney Corporation.

Cancel culture. Fighting back at the University of Vermont. This is a great story. There is a professor there named Aaron Kinsvater. All right? And he is objecting to the University of Vermont attacking white people. Roll the tape. The problem is that there's a new kind of discrimination on campus that's going on,

that I really feel that we need to talk about, and I think that everybody is afraid to talk about it. And this discrimination is against whiteness, that the same logic that informs what's currently, being called whiteness right now can easily find its way to desperate persons who need a group to hate and who will adopt the suppositions that inform whiteness towards their own ends. For that, there's a demand for that professor to be fired. You can't stick up for white people. So the Vermont University of Vermont Provost, Patricia Praylock, sent an evening out saying, quote, we will continue to lean into, very good, lean into our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. And in so doing, create further opportunities to strengthen our community.

We know there is anger, pain, and sadness when the lived experience of individuals committed to inclusion are denied or diminished. Oh, very woke. Isn't that so woke? So anyway, they can't fire the professor, Kinsvater, because he got tenure. You know, he's protected, which is the only reason he could say that. But the petition is out for him to be fired. Okay? And a petition has gotten 3,435 signatures.

All right? Let's fire the professor for making a very intelligent observation that if you hate white people, that's not going to be good. Okay? So, no, we want them fired. This is change.org does this, one of the most vile, vicious groups in America. But here's the good news at the University of Vermont. Sticking up for the professor are 4,502 petitioners. It's a petition sticking up for him, outnumbering the fired people. University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont, Bernie Sanders territory. Okay, here's real culture. That was cancel culture. Real culture. Guess what the most successful movie of the year is so far?

Guess. Ready? We'll tape. Oh, that doesn't look too welcoming to me, they might be safe spaces watching that thing. Godzilla versus Kong made almost 400 million. in so far. This day in history, April 14th, 1865, John Wilkes Booth shoots Abraham Lincoln. All right, the Ford Theater, Washington, D.C. Ford Theater is still there. You can go visit.

President Lincoln died the next morning. Wilkes Booth was a racist, a Confederate sympathizer, an actor. All right. After he shot Lincoln in the head at the Ford Theater, he jumped on the stage to try to escape. He broke his ankle. everybody knew he did it. A manhunt ensued the biggest manhunt in human history at the time. 10,000 people hunting for Booth, but he got away for 12 days until they found him in Virginia

in a barn. And a police officer named Corbett, Boston Corbett, Boston Corbett, shot him, and Booth died. Abraham Lincoln held on for a few hours, died the next morning. Abraham Lincoln the greatest president in American history. So that was 156 years ago today. If you want to know everything that happened, including the hanging of a woman named Mary Sorat, killing Lincoln. I think this is the best book

about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War Years, and the assassination. So you can order it. We'll give you 20% off if you want to read that on billowrally.com. Let's take a quick break. I have a final thought about your health, an extension of yesterday's thought that I think you wouldn't want to hear about. Right back. 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 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 Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's do some mail. Brian Mason Brink, Neptune Beach, Florida.

I don't understand where the disconnect in a black community is with police officers. If you do what you're told, you don't have to worry about getting shot. Look, Mason, I mean, Brian, I think, I know you know this. African Americans believe they are treated. differently by law enforcement. The majority of African Americans believe they are scrutinized, even if they're law-abiding, at a different level than whites. And that makes them angry. And I understand that because that's true. Steve Swinford, Lake Forest, California, has disappointed in your cavalier attitude bill

toward the Brooklyn, Minnesota Police explanation of the fatal shooting. This was obviously, to me, a mistake, an accident. Okay, it was a mistake. The police officers, as I said, didn't wake up and say, I want to kill a black person. But I didn't have a cavalier attitude, so that's misreporting on your part, Steve. It was a mistake.

But when you are empowered with the responsibility of having a deadly weapon and enforcing the law, fail mistakes. You have to be held accountable for them. Chris Humper, Glendora, California. If his suspect turns and runs to get into his and her car, the main fear for a cop is not that they'll drive away. The main fear is that they could have a hidden weapon. Okay, but you can't use your weapon as a police officer on a fear. Okay, you have to be, use your weapon as a last resort. Betty, message board, about the view I sincerely believe that Walt Disney would be ashamed. God rest his soul, he brought us so much happiness. You're right. And that's part of what

my beef is with the Disney company. Back to the Minnesota case, Raymond Johnson. That police officer, she never had fired at the person attempting to escape, even with a taser. He was about to drive away, and if he had been taser, we might have lost control of the vehicle while it was emotion. Okay. So I know there's a lot of opinions, but let's all just wait and see what happens. Patricia Sturdivant, Manchester, New Hampshire. I received my vaccine over the weekend. The first thing I had to do is show my ID. Was that racist? No. This ID ruse is ridiculous. It's absurd, and most Americans understand. You should have to show an ID in order to vote, period. it. James Ross, Phoenix, Arizona, do you think that voters in a deep blue states like California, New York, Illinois, will ever get tired enough of the nonsense and vote out the progressives?

Possible, but you would need strong leadership on the other side to make it happen. Possible. Carolyn, Bill, you're so right about people wasting tons of money on alcohol, eating out, Starbucks. Come on, I like my coffee every morning, but it's a waste to spend six dollars at Starbucks. Melinda Lewis, Kill Marnock, Virginia. Mr. O'I, I watch the no-spin news every day.

Just recapping, I, in the beginning of December, my doctor said, Hey, O'Reilly, your blood sugar's crazy. You might have diabetes going down

a road. If you don't, if you keep this up, knocked the sugar out. I did. And yesterday I got my report and it was great. Blood sugar weighed down, suits fit better, complexion better, more energy, knocked out the sugar. And I told you, I did it. You can read, you can see that.

If your health breaks down, it's going to be hell. It's going to be hell on you and the people who love you. If you are, you are

taking anything bad, tobacco, if you're over drinking, anything, not okay. Sugar is hidden. These Cokes and soft drinks and fruit juices and iced teas loaded with it, okay? Cereal, bread, you can cut it down 80% without any sweat. I did it. And I can tell you, I feel a lot better. Now, I want the same for you. you. When you buy any product, look at the label. See how many grams of sugar is contained in the product. You can always find a better product. I told you Trio drinks taste just as good as the sugar drinks. Skinny dip desserts and snacks are just as good as the snacks that are loaded. You don't have to be a fanatic. You can have ice cream once and all, all that. Just cut it down.

looking out for you see you tomorrow
