Trump is a person of the year, according to Time magazine, which hates him. By the way, we'll get into that. Drone madness in my house. I had one here. I'll explain it. FBI chaos. That's an interesting story. and we will have classic rocker Gene Simmons from Kiss,

who did some of the music for the movie Reagan. He'll be here, talk a little politics, a little music. But first, let's go to the FBI thing. That's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So Christopher Ray is out here. He says he's going to resign in January, age 57, pointed FBI directed by Donald Trump, June 7, 2017, served for seven years.

I would say he has been terrible. Maybe not worse than James Comey, but close. Prior to that, Christopher Ray had a pretty good career going in Washington. He was appointed by George Bush the younger to be assistant attorney general in the criminal division of the Department of Justice. He did a good job there, which is why Trump gave him the head of the FBI. But, boy, did he blow it. And I'm going to prove it with hard facts. First of all, let's go to Donald Trump.

Here's what his reaction was to raise resignation yesterday. Quote, the resignation of Christopher Ray is a great day for America, says President Trump, as it will end the weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice. I just don't know what happened. what happened to him. Okay, so let's examine the facts here, right?

So the guy who supervised Christopher Ray, as head of the FBI, is Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley from Iowa. So the Iowan has oversight over Ray. He's Ray's boss, really, I mean, President is, because the President can fire Ray. But the guy watching him is Grassley. Grassley, does not like Ray at all.

Number one, the Senator's angry FBI did not properly vet Afghan refugees after the embarrassing surrender. Quote, the FBI report revealed the National Guard Intelligence Center flagged at least 50 Afghan refugees for the FBI's potential significant security concerns. The FBI failed entirely to answer my inquiry on the serious national security issue. So the FBI wouldn't give the Senate any information about vetting Afghans who were brought to the United States after the Taliban took over. That's not good. Here's number two. In Grassley's opinion, the FBI failed to properly vet why pro-life protesters were investigated by the Bureau in Virginia. For more than a year and a half, the FBI has failed to be responsive to repeated requests, again addressed to.

Christopher Ray, asking for information about the outrageous memo prepared by the FBI's field office in Richmond, Virginia. That memo struck fear and believers across the country by purporting without anything other than biased accredited sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center to tie faithful Christians to violent extremism, unquote. Ray simply failed to answer any questions about it. That's unacceptable. Number three, Christopher Ray and the FBI ignored, according to Grassley, child sex trafficking at the open border. Quote, the FBI has failed to update me on the status of criminal referral I made to the FBI

in January of this year related to likely child trafficking through the Biden office of refugee resettlement at the Department of Health and Human Services. Again, Ray is saying, no, I'm not going to answer any questions. I mean, do you get the pattern here? All right? And perhaps the biggest deficit against Christopher Ray himself,

himself, was he has never investigated or explained how the FBI secured FISA warrants to tap bones of the Trump campaign in 2016 off the bogus Russian collusion allegations. That's outrageous. And there's Ray. You've seen them. You've seen them. So I said in the beginning, almost as bad as guy, you may be worse than Comey. So goodbye.

We'll never hear from Christopher Ray again. I mean, this is ridiculous. Jade Gahoover, who founded the FBI, was worse than Ray. And if you read my book, Killing the mob, and you read killing, I'm sorry, confronting the presidents in the LBJ chapter, the Lyndon Johnson chapter, It shows you how corrupt J. Edgar Hoover was. Hoover was just corrupt. I don't think Ray's corrupt. I think he is a person who was poisoned by left-wing ideology along the way somewhere.

And then when they got in trouble, the FBI for imposing that ideology, Ray refused to answer questions. And that's a memo. Joe Biden got the day off today. I don't know what he's doing, but he's got nothing on his official schedule. He did issue a lot of commutations and pardons. We've gone down the list. Biden doesn't know any of these people. They just put it in front of me.

He just signed it. So 1,500 commutations, 39 acts of clemency, the biggest single day in U.S. history. Let me amend that. 65 pardons, 1,636 commutations so far as president. By comparison, Donald Trump in his four years, pardon 143, but only 94 commutations. What's the difference? Pardon is you can't get prosecuted. Like Hunter, the charges are out.

Commutation is you've already been convicted, but whatever penalty or suffering goes away. So all these people today, they get out of jail or home confinement, wherever they are. So that's what Biden has been doing this week. U.S. budget deficit climbs 17 percent, 17 percent in November. Now, I know the propaganda. I know the progressives are lying to everybody, but Joe Biden is by far the biggest spending president in the history of this country. Any five-year-old child would know when you have a $37 trillion debt, you don't keep running the debt up. Biden did. Just for that alone, I would have voted against him because that's so dangerous.

Let's go to Time Magazine and Donald Trump. So this is interesting. Time Magazine hates Trump. Why? Because it's in the liberal culture. And it gave Trump, you know, a hard time ever since he announced that he was going to be a politician. But this is the second time that Trump has been named a man of the year.

But they have to name a man here. Who else? And I'm sorry, I'm being politically. incorrect. It's person of the year, not man of the year. He used to be man until the women took over. Now it's person. And I don't mind that, by the way. Anyway, there's the cover. Who else would it be? There's nobody else. Juan Soto, maybe, the baseball player got all the money, $750 million. You know, but Trump is the person of the year. So here, Trump is in New York today. to take that honor and to be at the New York socket change.

Here what he said, go. I have to say, Time Magazine, getting this honor for the second time. I think I like it better this time, actually. But we did a good job. We had a great first term, despite a lot of turmoil, caused unnecessarily. But the media has tamed down a little bit. No, no, it hasn't, Mr. President. They're just waiting.

just waiting, so don't think they're teamed down. Anyway, here I think you would like to be reminded of the other persons of the year. Here we go. Last year, Taylor Swift, 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.

22 Zelensky, 21 Musk, 20 Biden and Harris, 19 Greta Thunberg. turn into a loon, an anti-Jewish loon. 18 journalists who have been arrested in their reportage duties, 17 Me Too people, 16, Trump, 15, Angela Merkel, 14 Ebola fighters. You remember the Ebola virus, and 13 Pope Francis. All right, so there are the persons of the year. Mark Zuckerberg.

Now, this is rich. Pardon the bad pun. Zuckerberg, one of the wealthiest people in the world. You'll remember, and I have reminded you, over the months and years, that he pumped $300 million into the 2020 election, into counties that were crucial for either Biden or Trump. I would say 90% of that money went to help Biden. Now, it has never been investigated, because Biden's not going to investigate it. I hope Donald Trump investigates this.

I don't know if he will. Why? Because Zuckerberg just gave Trump $1 million for his inauguration. So you see the game that Zuckerberg's playing here. Zuckerberg tried and was successful in derailing the 2020 election and kicking it over to Biden. all right because those 20 counties where he pumped in 300 million they were all swing state counties all right and i can't prove where the money went because i don't have subpoena power but certainly the fec federal election commission should be launching an investigation where

the deuce that money went that Zuckerberg threw in there don't you agree don't you want to know I do. Now, I know it's way down on Trump's priority list, but I'm going to remind him of that. We need to know. But anyway, Zuckerberg wrote the check, and here's a million for your inauguration. You know what he's trying to do? It's like Joe and Mika. Didn't work out real well for them, by the way.

Zuckerberg will get away with it unless they do investigate him, which they should. But Donald Trump also invited Xi, the president of China, to his inauguration. Now, this was a very clever move by Trump. So Trump doesn't want trouble with China or Russia or anybody. He wants a calm world, which helps him. And he says, oh, come on over to the inauguration. Now, she's not going to come because that would show weakness to his own people. But he'll send his foreign minister, I bet.

Gingrich agrees with me. Gingrich's on W.A.B.C. radio this morning. Sid Rosenberg said, oh, I think she's going to come. And Grimberg said, you know, Gingrich said, probably not. Because there's a lot of face and all of that, FACE in Asia. But if she does come, that's a big win for Trump. Now, there are a whole bunch of people coming to the inauguration from all over the world because everybody's trying to curry favor with Trump now.

Everybody fears him. And I mean everybody. So the mullahs in Iran, they're really in a bad spot here. And that brings us to an negotiation that's happening right now with the Biden people. They are over there, Jake Sullivan National Security Advisor, trying desperately to get a ceasefire before Joe leaves. Because Joe, as I did in my commentary today, if you look at the message of this, today on Bill O'Reilly.com, and again, I hope you do everybody. It's free. Just read it.

It's short. Biden has got a loser tag on him forever, just like Jimmy Carter. Forever. He needs to go out with some kind of positive. And so they're desperately working to get a ceasefire and some hostages released in Gaza. Now, the prevailing wisdom among the national security analysts on both Trump and Biden is that most of the hostages have been murdered. They're dead, which is probably what's holding this thing up. But don't be surprised in the next few days of you hear of a ceasefire because that is in play. Okay, so earlier this week I had an extensive conversation with President Trump. I will remind you of two things. I don't call him because that's intrusive. I'm a journalist, all right? But if I need to speak with him about something, I will get to his people

and say, look, and sometimes he responds and sometimes he does it. But this week, he did. And we talk policy. It was all policy. He made fun of me. He always does. And that's good. It's good to be made fun of by the President of the United States. That's a good thing. And I think I've been made fun of by seven presidents. I think that might be a record. Anyway, I never divulge any of my private conversations because I talk to powerful people all over the world all the time. I mean, if you could be, Holly the Terodogne knows more about the world by listening to my conversation, but I never divulge it, ever. And I would never, okay, no matter, they could sue me, they can prison me, they can torture me, not going to do it. And that's why when I talk to somebody, they're confident that I'm not going to quote them or anything like that.

But I'm telling you this because I promoted it yesterday that I did have an extensive conversation. And the only reason I'm telling you this is one point. I have known Donald Trump for almost 35 years. On that conversation earlier this week on the phone, he was sharper than I have ever heard him. God's honest. I'll tell you what, he was on it. And we were talking about complicated stuff. Boom, boom, boom.

And believe me, you know me, I would not say that if it weren't true. And I didn't tell him that because that's sucking up. I don't do that. But I'll tell you, because it's important that you know. No. He's 78 years old. He was, I mean, my head snapping back going, what? And he backing it up. So anyway, I am privileged. You know, they throw this word around honor. It's an honor. That's a cliche. But I am privileged to be able to have these conversations. And it helps me report the news to you and analyze it in an honest way.

That's what really is the bottom line on this. So anyway, that happened. I told you where we reported today, and I have. Joining us from New York City is one of the best lawyers in town. Name is Arthur Dahlia. I mispronounced it last time. I Dala. I Dala.

I Dala. Like a Dala. dollar bill of which you charge many okay i got it all right let's run them down trump case would you have filed this case would you have signed on to that case uh it's uh here's the truth you want to talk about money most of those cases you take on as a lawyer on a contingency fee so you say i'm only to get paid if i win i would not take that case on a contingency fee because i don't you're correct i don't think they're going to win how during the discovery process they may be able to get that transcript as part of evidence as part of the discovery process and unless cbs is

successful and putting some sort of a gag order on that evidence some sort of it's called a protective order um trump could then release it and achieve the goal that he may want to achieve it they may actually dismiss the case after that okay we got what we want we're done but as a lawyer you better make sure you're getting paid up front because, as you said, Mr. O'Reilly, the First Amendment gives a lot of protections to the press as it should. So I don't think ultimately he would be successful, even though they went to a venue where they knew the case was going to a judge that would be sympathetic to President Trump based on his political leaders and the fact that Trump appointees. You said they might be able to get the transcript. They'd have to be able

to get it because that's the crux of the case. The judge couldn't deny Trump's lawyers the opportunity to see what the case hinges on. That would be impossible, right? Unless they want a motion, a summary judgment motion to dismiss. That's a whole different thing. If they got the case thrown out and they filed last week to get the case thrown out, do you think it's going to get thrown out? It's a close call.

I mean, most cases are not a close call, but it is a close call. because the First Amendment is, it really safeguards the media from being bullied. I don't think it's going to get thrown out. I don't think the conservative judge in Texas is going to throw it out. And if he doesn't throw it out, CBS can't appeal that, that rule. And it has to go forward then, right? Right. Yes.

They're also asking for it to be moved to New York, the venue where CBS is located, and they may not get that either. So if it does stay, why would a, why would a conservative judge, to be sympathetic to CBS. Right. They're not. It's like the Florida judge in a Mar-a-Lago case.

Was sympathetic, thought it was an overreach by the Biden administration and go after Trump like that. Okay, let's get to the shooting of the CEO, the United Healthcare CEO. So far, I think the authorities

have handled it very well from the Pennsylvanians who got the guy and then the New York cops went out. They got him here. evidence is overwhelming. If you were the defense attorney, you'd be up against it, correct? Yes. I would definitely be up against it. And, you know, but this is where you have to get creative. I just want to go back to the police work because I did speak to Chief of

Patrol John Shell yesterday. And he wanted to make sure that citizens got credit that they deserve. You know, this was a lot of old-fashioned police work getting his picture out there. But And the citizens were the ones who really helped. But the cops were on the verge of getting his DNA. They were on the verge of getting his fingerprints from the cell phone. His DNA was from a bottle that he dropped at Starbucks that they saw, and they were able to get that bottle. So he was on his way to being in some big trouble.

Bill, in terms of a defense like this where he has a written confession on him, a lot of the job of the defense attorney, any defense attorney, is to make sure everyone plays by the rules. all of his rights are observed and maintained and stood up for and then you write a book on his life and apparently he had a bad operation that affected him and you hope maybe the prosecutor says all right as opposed to 25 to life

which is what you're going to get after trial will give you 23 to life and save us the money time effort and energy two years I don't think this guy's ever going to get out I don't think he's ever going to get out, because it was so blatant and such a horror, a message has to be sent. But I understand you're trying to mitigate the sentence to some degree.

Hopefully the guy can rehabilitate himself. I might even go for insanity on this guy. He's pretty out there. So maybe if I'm the defense attorney, I'm saying he doesn't know what he's doing. That doesn't work very much, though, right? It very rarely works. And the other thing people wrote up is an excuse called extreme emotional disturbance that takes manslaughter down to manslaughter.

So you can get up. Not going to miss that. Right. But he was in a videotape. He's just too cool about what he's doing and all that. He's not agitated. It's very, very planned and premeditated. All right.

So Arthur Penny, then we go into the last case that we're talking about here. I predicted this. It wasn't a hard prediction. I still have faith, even though it's New York City and the folks, that they reasonable doubt all over the place. But the key question is, the district attorney in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, a George Soros progressive, okay, he knew there was reasonable doubt all over the place because the police had interviewed the people riding in the subway car. Bragg had all of that information in front of it. He knew that his odds of getting a conviction were low, and he did it anyway. Am I wrong?

No, you're not wrong, but, you know, you showed that clip of the angry supporters of the deceased here, and that's the constituency that obviously Alvin Bragg was trying to please. But that's political. That's not justice. 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 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's, or 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.

Well, Bill, unfortunately the days of Frank Hogan, the Manhattan District Attorney and Bob Morgothar, where politics was not supposed to play a role are gone way out the window. All right. And any chance, any chance, Hockel removes Brag down, fires drag down. No, no, no chance. No, you kidding. She's afraid of her own shadow. She's going to take down the first African.

American District Attorney Manhattan. Her approval rating is 35%. Her approval rating is 35%. And after the congestion parking, it's going to be 25. She does not have the intestinal fortitude to do so. What's insane to me, Bill,

is people out there are trying to compare the crime that this Luigi kid did to what Daniel Penny did. And I mean, it really gets to be upset. It's ridiculous. It does just loons. I mean, I don't even bother. All right, counselor, it's always good to talk with you.

You can listen to Arthur on his own radio show, The Arthur Idala, as in money, power hour on AM 97, The Answer in New York. So have a nice Christmas, and thanks for helping us out. Really appreciate it, Arthur. We'll see you. Thank you, Bill. Thanks for all you do for our country. Appreciate it.

All right, new poll by Scott Rasmussen, about Hunter Biden's, Pardon. First question. This week, President Biden pardon his son. For all the crimes he may have committed, do you favor oppose? Favor 30, oppose 62, two to one, opposed? Not sure eight. Second question, President Biden has said, under Biden was unfairly targeted by prosecutors' political purposes. Do you agree or disagree? Agree 37, disagree 54. And then there's a footnote to Rasmussen's research, 46% believe the Justice Department unfairly targeted Donald Trump, and 42% disagree with that. Okay. Now, there are two big media obsessions. One is deportation of undocumented people. And the other is, will Trump take revenge?

on the people who tortured him. Those are their obsessions in the media. Okay. So Trump goes on Meet the Press on Sunday yesterday. And here's what he said. Is it realistic to deport everyone who's here legally? First of all, they're costing us a fortune. But we're starting with the criminals and we've got to do it.

And then we're starting with others. And we're going to see how it goes. All right. That's an interesting statement. So the criminals are toast. All right, they're going to be gone. If he can catch him, if the federal government can track them down. But he didn't say he's going to break in the doors of peaceful undocumented people.

He goes, we'll see how it goes. It's going to be a long process. It's going to be so many lawsuits. It's going to be insane, how complicated it is, if you are not. criminal if you're criminal you'll be able to get rid of you Trump will now I've done some analysis on this that you might find interesting so if I'm President Trump and I am sworn in on January 20th on January 21st I say every mayor and the country must cooperate with homeland security. And if you don't, we are going to charge

you, the governor or the mayor, or the sheriff or whoever it may be. You don't cooperate with obstructing a federal investigation. We can't be a felony. And then to make my point, I would send the head of the FBI, wherever it may be, probably be Cash Patel, himself to California, wherever, to put the cuffs on the politician involved. You've got to have the evidence. You got to have it. And read that person their rights. I bring cameras in. That's what I would do.

We're not playing anymore. That is my analysis on that. But what do I think is going to happen in the end? I think a lot of criminal aliens will be deported. I think Mexico will cooperate and put their troops on the northern and southern border, which will cut down the caravans and all of that, and the drug smuggling. And a lot of the wall will be built, and that will calm down. But interior, with the $15 million or whatever it may be, every state official has to cooperate or they get charged.

Makes sense to you? Bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. All right, so I'm getting a lot of mail about why Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State under Donald Trump, 2018 and 21, isn't being considered for Defense Secretary, a job he could obviously do. There are two reasons.

Now, I told you I would investigate, and I have. And I found two reasons. The first one is that Mr. Pompeo has been a little bit critical of Donald Trump. Roll of tape. First, if the allegations are true and there's lots of indications that they are, President Trump had classified documents where he shouldn't have had them. And then when given the opportunity to return to me, he chose not to do that for whatever reason. Okay, so Trump didn't like that.

But the second and biggest reason is that Pompeo has been a very ardent supporter of Ukraine and American military aid and money into Ukraine. Trump's not there. And he doesn't want another John Bolton. You remember that John Bolton, national security guy, was very, very bullish on interfering in foreign situations. And then Trump fired him. and he turned on Trump. So Trump fears that Pompeo, if he lets him back in, would do the same. That's it.

Take it to the bank. And thank you for the letters, by the way. If you want to know about something, let me know. I'll find out. All right, Syria, Assad has gone. He ruled that forlorn country for 24 years. Been there briefly. Horrible place.

you don't want to go um so the army wouldn't fight for him anymore he got on a plane went to moscow and Putin gave him asylum because he's been cooperating with Putin for 24 year Putin's made a lot of money in Syria by the way um and uh if you read my message of the day about Putin but can you imagine getting asylum in Russia is that really what you want to stay in the rest of your life. I don't think so. And he can't go anywhere. The side can't go anywhere.

Any other Arab nations wouldn't take him. Bad, bad guy. So right now we have a U.S. base in eastern Syria, keep an eye on ISIS. ICE is going to try to exploit this. We don't know the new leadership, but they don't have any power other than Putin Assad out. They're former jihadists. Turkey is the main driver there, but Israel, obviously, if they don't like something, they'll come in. But this is good, that Assad's out of there.

You're horrible, horrible. Now, the best summary I read was on Global Post. It was, you get everything you want to know about this in one page. So you know that there are foreign news partners, Global Post, and they've offered to have. half off for all no-spin news watchers and listeners is global post.com okay like it's 23 bucks a year well you just go look at it today and see what they have it's really good so if you want international foreign news and they're not shading it it was a factor to fact that the fact I learned a lot and it took me six minutes okay college is dismantling

DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Here are the latest. University of Utah and Weber State in Utah. University of North Texas, University of North Florida, University of Missouri, University of Michigan. Whoa! They have one of the biggest DEI machines and they are now cutting back

saying you don't have to make a diversity statement when you apply for a job first step not woke first step okay colleges why are they doing this because enrollments down big time according to national student clearinghouse research center kids aren't applying i don't think the big reason is the woke dei nonsense i think it's uh the money so it's eighty thousand dollars to go to some private universities and that's ridiculous Absurd. Totally insane. Okay, don't do it. Go to a state.

You'll get just a good in education. So that's why I think is happening there. But it doesn't help. If you come from a conservative traditional home, you can't walk onto the College of Yale. You'll be scorned and shunned. Your grades might be affected by it. You've got to know where you're going.

All right, California raised the minimum one. raised a minimum wage to $20, okay? And it was centered around the fast food industry. So, according to the Employment Policies Institute, we always back up our stats here. 6,000 fast food jobs have been lost in California in a year and three months. Six thousand. So McDonald's, Taco Bell, in-and-out burger, they're going, we can do the same with less. But here's the kicker.

AI coming in. And they're not going to pay people $20 an hour. So instead of keeping the minimum wage where the fast food joints can make some money, no. Virtue signaling, and now the industry is cratering. Los Angeles, I love this story. Listen to this.

Los Angeles Times is once the dominant newspaper on the West Coast, all right? It had like a half million a day circulation. It's down below 100,000. It's just nobody pays attention to it because it's a far left journal. It's a progressive journal. They don't make any pretense about covering the news fairly. They cover what they want to cover, but if it's not a story that fits in the narrative, they don't even cover it. So it's owned by one guy whose take is hemorrhaging money.

His name is Dr. Patrick Soon-Shion. Okay? So he's installing, and I don't know how this is going to work, in the Los Angeles Times newsroom, a so-called bias meter to see if his own reporters and editorial staff are being unfair. And he's using AI to run the bias meter. Now, I don't know whether the readers of the newspaper are going to see that or how they're going to see it, but I've never heard of this before. But a bias meter run by AI being installed in the Los Angeles Times. I'm keeping my eye on that one.

Now, why is that necessary? The culture in almost every newsroom in this country on a national level is left, far left. That means if you're a MAGA person or you're pro-life or you're even conservative, you can't work in the newsrooms. You shunned, isolated, won't get promoted, don't want you there, okay? When you have that kind of peer pressure against you, who's going to walk into that? Now, when I worked at ABC News and CBS News, both of them were liberal when I was there. Jennings, Peter Jennings, kept a cap on it.

Now, nobody knew my political point of view back when I was a correspondent for ABC News. I was a reporter. I didn't put any politics today, any story I ever did. None. CBS, same thing. Nobody knew. I got hired at CBS, Dan Rather, because I did well at Channel 2, the local CBS station in New York City. Anyway, rather was war the liberalism on it on his sleep.

Everybody do. Jenny's not so much. They knew he was socially liberal, but he was disciplined, Jennings. But now that's all gone. It's all gone. You have to be left or far left to work in these national news agencies, with the exception of Fox News News and Newsmax. And News Nation, which is, I think, strongest.

of the trying to be balanced, of all of them. Again, I work there on, you know, Monday you'll see me with Leland Vitterer and Wednesday with Cuomo. But they try. But if you're in the network situation, there's no way. And that's the culture. New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times, Boston Globe, Atlantic Constitution, same thing. Very dangerous for the country. Smart life.

There's another interesting story. So now the average American, all right, has a credit card debt of $10,757. How precise is that? This comes from a wallet hub. Wallet Hub is pretty good. They do some pretty good research. It's a personal finance website, Wallet Hub, one word. So $10,757.57 with the average American.

and owes it a credit card companies. Why? Well, greed is one reason. No impulse control. I want it. I want it. I'm going to get it. If I can't afford it, I'll just put it. I'll pay the 18% Vig. 18% you pay in these companies. But here's another one. So I walk into a deli on Long Island the other day. And I wanted a ham and cheese sandwich, ham and monster cheese with a little bit of mustard on a roll. 14 bucks. Are you kidding me? 14 bucks. That cost the deli, just in the food, the roll and a ham and cheese and the mustard, cost the deli about five bucks. Maybe five. They're charging 14. So, I'm watching now. Why are they doing this? In the deli, it was 80% urchins, teenagers in the local high schools there. That's who was in the deli. They had the debt, all of them had the debit cards.

And they're getting anything they want. They don't care what the price is. They're not paying a day. Boom, boom, boom. That's why. And their parents have to pay off the debit card. And a lot of these parents are, hey, do whatever you want, Sally. Hey, Sean, get whatever you want.

They don't care. And then they get the bill and they can't pay it. That's what's happening here. smart life all you have to do is step back before you put that credit card on the little gizmo they don't really need this is it worth the 14 bucks for the ham and cheese i bought the ham and cheese sandwich and i ate it and it was decent i won't do it again all right because that's ridiculous smart life got to control the spending okay final thought of the day new york meds about Juan Soto. If you're not a sports baseball person, you should care about this because it's

very interesting. Soto's 26. He was on a Yankees last year. Yankees went to the World Series. He may be the best baseball player. He's in the top five, no doubt. So to pay him $765 million over 15 years, that's $51 million a year this guy makes. He's on the payroll until he's 40, the Met payroll, but he can opt out after five years. years. Now, he got a $75 million signing bonus, just who put his name on the contract. And it's unbelievable this contract. Why is it happening? This is the importance of the story. Entertainment's collapsed, okay? Music industry collapsed. Not sports. Sports is still surging. It's where the big money is.

Dicing, all right? You go to the game. It costs you 500 bucks to go to the game. People want live sports in America. That's the only thing on television that's growing, live sports. Money is astronomical. Okay, and that's why it's happening. Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpin News tonight. We'll see tomorrow.
