It's a fallout from Daniel Penny's acquittal. So you all know the story, I hope, by now, a 26-year-old former Marine riding a subway. May 1st, 2023, 30-year-old Jordan Neely, a mentally ill person gets on, starts threatening people screaming in their face. Everybody's afraid. Penny takes them down, gets them in a hold, and this guy nearly dies. He had 42 arrests, including convictions of beating up two elderly people. He had drugs in his bloodstream. Jury found Penny not guilty of negligent homicide and what was the other charge that he found him? Negligent homicide. manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, not guilty. We have to respect the jury. I've respected

pretty much every jury except for the O.J. Simpson, and I'm going to tell you about that someday. That was ridiculous. What those people in Los Angeles did, but let's stay on this. Okay, so Penny himself, not a grandstander, but he did make a few statements about the situation. Roll of tape. You know, this is a, this was a scary situation. And Mr. Jr. Lee came on. He was, he was threatening. He's, I'm 6'2 and he was taller than me. So it was, and there's a common misconception that Marines don't get scared.

We're actually taught one of our core values is courage. And courage is not the absence of fear, but how you handle fear. And, you know, I was scared for myself, but I looked around. I saw women and children. He was yelling in their faces saying, saying these threats, I couldn't just sit still. Okay, jury bought it, not guilty. Now he has to face a civil lawsuit from the family of Jordan Ely,

which is absurd that family should be suing the city, state of New York, not Daniel Penny. Anyway, most Americans haven't ridden a New York City subway, but those of us who live here know, it's dangerous. Okay, so far this year, 24, been more than 2,000 serious crimes. committed on a subway. It's 2,000. Nine murders. Everybody knows that if you get in a subway car and there's a mentally ill raving person, that person could have a knife. Because the mentally ill and the criminal element carry knives to defend themselves against other criminals,

particularly if you're in a drug world. Everybody knows all this. So for Penny to step up, put himself at risk, that's pretty heroic. Most people, 90% of them, would not. Now, we Christians are taught to be good Samaritans, but something like this just wipes out that kind, because you're going to be thinking, well, if I help, if I get involved, I'm going to get punished. Thank you, Alvin Bragg, the DA,

who should be fired immediately by Governor Hokel, but, you know, there are two peas in a pod, ideological pod to use a cliche. But anyway, so it's dangerous, and people are on edge when they're going to work, coming home. A lot of people have to use the subways in New York City. Have to. Not an option. And you get on there and you are powerless because the authorities, New York, will not detain people like Jordan Neely.

They just let them walk around hurting people. And it's been going on for years. social order in New York City is collapsed because of the progressive leadership. The governor, the mayor, the DAs, they don't care. Couldn't care less about public safety. But the people voted them in. So anyway, I'm very worried about the cascade here of people not helping other people. And I'm a guy who gets involved when I see some wrong, but even me, if I'm faces,

a 30-year-old who's raving and screaming, and I know these odds are, he might have a knife, it's a tough call. Now, what tilted me into Daniel Penny's corner was not ideology, it wasn't anything else. It was the testimony of a woman on the train with Penny. Go. I think this guy was drunk, you know,

because when he came in, he was unbelievably off the charge. He scared the living day life out. That is just a regular person. Okay? That's not somebody who's like got an agenda. Oh, come on. And finally, Penny's legal defense has raised about $3.5 million through the GoFundMe stuff.

And that's because generous people like you. So he's not going to be wiped out. But again, if you get involved with these things, you can get sued. You can all kinds of things can happen to you. Wipes out the Good Samarans. So, Penny will be okay, I think, but his life will never be the same. And obviously, Jordan Neely, who needed desperately needed help, which his family didn't compel him to get, okay, he's in the grave. That's a memo.

Another controversy involving President Trump, he wants to end birthright citizenship. He's not going to be able to do it. The president does not have that power. I'm going to walk you through this. So the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says this, quote, all persons born and naturalized in the USA, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property that due process of law. 14th Amendment. And that was put in 1868 because slaves were being threatened. Former slaves freed by Abraham Lincoln in the North were being threatened in the South with expulsion, with all kinds of stuff. So Congress passed the 14th Amendment. I mean, as you're born here, you're a citizen, even if your parents are illegal. Now, the only way to stop that so-called

birthright citizenship is to overturn the 14th Amendment. It's two ways you can do it. Three-quarters vote in the House and the Senate, which you'll never get today. That would never happen, okay, because the Democrats would stop it. Or three-quarters of the states themselves, state legislature, saying, we want this amendment out. The last amendment overturned was Prohibition, 1933. That's how difficult it is to overturn it. So this birthright citizenship is not going to end.

And that's just the way it is. That's our Constitution. All right. Two interesting federal court cases that we're going to have the Attorney General of South Carolina comment on, I hope. First is Tennessee. So in Tennessee and other states, the law bans medical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormones for people under the age of 18 experiencing gender,

dysphoria, okay, if those treatments are prescribed to help them transition. So if you're a minor in Tennessee and South Carolina and other states, you can't get this treatment. I like the law because kids makes foolish decisions all the time. However, a married couple, Samantha and Brian Williams of Nashville, Tennessee, they are fine with their 15-year-old daughter transitioning. all right so she is a transgender girl and they want her to continue with all of this puberty blockers and stuff like that they've sued the Biden administration has backed them justice department is backing the lawsuit against Tennessee you know and this is why Kamala Harris lost this is why Joe Biden's going to know history as a second worst president of all time this doesn't make

sense, in my humble opinion. The other case is undocumented migrants getting free government health care, Obamacare. 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 through 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 866-326-55-75-76 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-26-5576 or text bill to 9988-99. 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.

Okay, so this has been blocked now by U.S. District Court judge in North Dakota, Daniel Traynor. He basically says, if you are in this country illegally, You are not to get free health care paid for by the government, state or federal. All right, Donald Trump, as you know, as we reported at a press conference yesterday, an hour and 11 minutes, 46 questions, and then CNN immediately fact check. Mr. Trump, go. And earlier in the press conference, Dana, he said over and over, I think, three times that during his presidency, there were no wars, like no wars period in the world. That is simply not true, a rewriting of history. One research institution said there were active armed conflicts in about 50 states in 2020,

including, of course, civil wars in Yemen, in Syria, in Somalia. All right, that's a nitpick, to say the least. Here's what Trump said. Go. Since the election, I've been working every day to put the world at ease a little bit to get rid of the wars. We had no wars when I left office, and now it's... The whole world is blowing up, but there's great optimism. Okay, so to call conflicts in places like Somalia a war is blatantly dishonest.

Now, this guy, Daniel Dale, Canadian journalist, he hates Trump. His job is to make Trump look bad. When is CNN going to wise up? When are they going to get out of this? Their ratings couldn't be any lower. And they still do it. Come on, everybody knows what Trump was saying. You didn't have Afghanistan.

You didn't have Ukraine. Those are wars. Not a conflict inside Syria. Aye, aye. CNN, what is wrong? All right, let's talk about the media this year and next year. Who better than our pal Bernie Goldberg, who runs bernardgoberg.com. Bernie is a simple man.

Not as simple as I am, but he's simple. Just look at him and you can tell. There's not enough makeup in the world that can hide the simpleness. So his website, bernardgoburg.com, is easy to negotiate, to see, and it's fun. So I command you to go there today. All right, Bernie Goldberg comes from Miami. So I asked you to give me the three media highlights, three good things they did this year. Go.

Let me first, very briefly, you said, what's going on at CNN? It's in their DNA. It isn't going to change. It's in their DNA. That's why they keep doing things like that. All right, the three highlights. First highlight, the Wall Street Journal on June 4th ran a story on page one that talked about how President Biden behind closed doors was showing signs of slipping mentally.

The New York Times didn't do this. The Washington Post didn't tell that story. Of all the major mainstream news organizations, the Wall Street Journal said it first. And they had, as a result of that, they came under blistering attack not only from the White House, but from President Biden's allies in the media, except three weeks. after they ran the story, Joe Biden had a meltdown on national television during the presidential debate, vindicating the Wall Street Journal's story. So I give that number one on my list and hats off, tip of the hat to the Wall Street Journal. Number two on my list, Fox News Channel

for its coverage of illegal immigration and the chaos in general on the southern border of the United States. Fox did what television news does best. Didn't simply tell you what was going on. It took you there and showed you people literally sneaking into the country on live television. CNN wasn't doing that. MSNBC, sure as hell, wasn't doing that. Fox deserves credit because it did do that. And by the way, these highlights are a mirror image of the low lights I'm going to tell you about in a minute or two. The third thing on my list of highlights, the rise of independent journalism in the United States. People like you, Bill, people like me, we can have conversations that are longer than

sound bites where you can say just about anything you want as long as it makes sense. And the most important thing from my point of view, you can say things where you don't have to worry about being canceled because if you said the same things on NBC, ABC, CBS, or even the cable channels, some of the things I've said would get me canceled. But you can say it as an independent journalist. And I think that's very important. The rise of independent journalism is a major, a major item of importance as far as the media's concerned. Yeah, and it's taken on more momentum as well. Okay, now, we only have time for three low lights and there are about 3,000 of them. That's right. So which ones did you pick? All right. I said the mirror image of my

highlights. The number one, number one on my list of low lights, the failure of the national news media to show any curiosity about President Biden's mental condition. I mean, there were video clips of him wandering off into the forest and not knowing where he was going. And the White House and again, their allies in the media, said, well, you're taking it out of context. This was a major issue, and the media intentionally was asleep at the wheel. The second one was the southern border again. The southern border was one of the two major issues that.

decided the presidential election. Yet if you watched CNN, MSNBC, read the New York Times, the Washington Post, you might not have any idea that there was a crisis on the southern border. Yet just the other day, page one of the New York Times, telling us that we've had the biggest influx of immigrants through the southern border ever in the history of the United States, bigger than when they came from Eastern Europe and Europe in general into Ellis Island. This was a huge story, and the Biden administration didn't want it covered, and their friends in the media didn't cover it. My last one was how most news organizations failed to notice the shift to the right

of the American electorate. I'm going to give you an example of a very good journalist. David Ignatius, columnist for the Washington Post. He's a liberal, but he's not a crazy left winger. On election night, when it became clear that Donald Trump was going to win, David Ignatius said, this election makes me realize how little I understand the American character in 2024. I am mystified by the outcome.

This is a smart guy, and he's mystified by the outcome, which prompted me to write on my website that David Ignatius, a bright guy, knows more about what's going on in outer Mongolia than what's going on in Middle America. Yeah, because they live in bubbles. All right, those are good, those are good. Exactly.

So my analysis is 2025 is going to be the worst year for corporate media in the history of media. You're already seeing changes, big changes. All of the anchors and pundits are going to get their salaries cut significantly, that's already begun. A lot of them have been furloughed. That's a polite word for fire, Chris Wallace, first one to go. And that's going to continue as is the decline in audience.

Now, once the inaugurations happens, then Fox News, which is riding high because they rode the Trump wave, they'll start to decline again as well. Primarily because most of these network and cable news outfits are boring. They're repetitive. Exactly. They've got a panel of five, six people. You don't know who the people are. You forget what they say 30 seconds after they say it.

It's meaningless. Not only are they corrupt, rooting for Biden, covering for the liberals, all of that, but they're boring. And that's why this whole thing is going to collapse in 25. I think you're right. Now, I'm with Yogi Berra, who said predictions are hard, especially when they're about the future. But this one, I'll go so far as to predict that the decline in mainstream media is going to continue in 2025. The three major TV networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, they've been in decline for decades, and they are an idea whose time has come and is gone.

They're finished. They are gone. cable news isn't far behind CNN I'm with you I don't know what's going to happen with CNN MSNBC has been spun off by its company and they may

they may turn out to be who knows they I have no idea if they're going to exist next year Fox is doing well and will continue to do relatively well but the future bill is in independent journalism

people you know what the average age of the Fox viewer is 69 years old. Yeah. And network news is the same. People under 50 aren't watching cable. They're not watching network news. They're getting their news from TikTok, from Reddit, from places I never heard of.

I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it does say... It's a reality. That's why we're on YouTube. That's why the NOSPN News is on YouTube, and we've increased already as 10thold. All right. So I hope you have a happy Hanukkah, and it will be happy for Mr. Goldberg if everyone goes to bernardgoldberg.com.

That appreciate that? Yeah, it brings Bernie Joy. All right. You know, it's a charitable thing that we're doing here to go to the website. And in this season of Christmas and Hanukkah, I mean, come on. How about that? That's a pretty good pitch, right? You're killing me.

We appreciate it. We're going to check in early with early and. next year with you, Bernie, and you have a good one, best of the family, okay? I'll see you, Joe's. I see at Joe's, I hope. Yeah, Joe's is a craft place, stone crabs in Miami, that Bernie and I hang with, and then we get ejected when we get rowdy. New study by the Media Research Center, very conservative group. So you need to know that up top.

So they looked at the NBC, ABC, CBS, Nightly News coverage of Trump. picks for cabinet heads, all right? That's what they looked at. Specifically, Hegset, Tulsi Gabbard, and Cash Patel. And they examined it. And they came up with this number. Ninety-six percent of all the network coverage, three networks, was negative on those three individuals. Anybody surprised? No. Because the culture of the network news will never change. Even though they've been defeated, humiliated, Seponopoulos, ABC has to pay $16 million, CBS 60 Minutes, being sued by Trump because of the alleged interview with Kamala Harris, that they misedited it, and the ratings are going down everywhere. They're not going to change because almost everybody inside those organizations are left or far left. Now, the corporations are panicking. The front page in the New York Post today, it's got Stepanopoulos, you know, it's embarrassing.

And Bob Eiger, they had at Disney, made them settle the case. I hear because there was emails between Stepanopoulos and producers at ABC, and a producer said to Stepanopoulos, don't say that Trump raped that woman. And Stepanopoulos said it anyway. That shows malice. If you could produce those emails, which ABC would have to do. That's what I'm hearing. Can I confirm it to be true?

I can't. I haven't seen the emails. 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, lawmakers, 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 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. But it comes from a very reliable source. It's an anonymous source, so I can't go and tell you it's a fact. But there was a reason that ABC Disney settled that case because they would have been thoroughly embarrassed. George Epinopoulos is the poster boy for the left wing embedded into the news organizations at the network level. He's a post of all he worked for Clinton.

He was Clinton's top guy. He's not a journalist. I have nothing against George. I've known him for years. Treated me okay. I mean, you know, not great, but he was, you know. But this is ridiculous. So 96% of the coverage on Heggseth, Gabbard, and Patel were negative.

That's what we got in America. Matt Gates. So I thought I would have the ethics report now. It's going to come out any time. It's going to be hateful toward Gates. I feel bad for Gates. I don't like Gates. I thought he's a very destructive Congressman.

I think he's a showboat. I don't think he's looking out for you. Could be wrong, but I'm not. And Gates made a lot of enemies. A lot. And that's why this is all happening. But it's not really fair. You know, he's not in.

Congress anymore. They don't have to release this. It's going to make them look bad. It's going to hurt his family. It's Christmas. I wouldn't do it. This is one of the most fascinating legal cases we have had in America the last 20 years. Listen to this. Tick-Tock. Huge among younger Americans. Enormous. I've never been on it. I don't even know how to get on. But it's short videos, all right? And everybody's on TikTok. It's owned by the Chinese company. Chinese companies are not independent.

The government of China runs all the companies. That's communism. Okay. TikTok is huge in America. Enormous. Now, Biden signed a law that says if the Chinese don't put TikTok up for sale by January 19th, federal government's going to be. ban it. No more TikTok. Coming up fast. So either put it up for sale or your vapor. Biden

sign it. Now, Supreme Court is going to hear this case on January 10th because it pits free expression, TikTok, free expression against national security. Because once you go on TikTok, the Chinese have your information. And you go on any website to have your information. Something pops up on your dopey machine here, and right before airtime something popped up on mine, just delete it. Don't look at it. If you don't know what it is, God. Okay. So the Supreme Court has to decide whether the First Amendment overrides the security concern. I can't. I can't. can't call that. But I think what's going to happen is the Supreme Court's going to stay Biden's order and they're going to throw it back to the lower courts for more analysis. That's what

I think is going to happen. But it's, this is big. Okay. I don't have anything else on the drones for you. I wish I did. So outrageous. Isn't it outrageous? And Biden administration. They got to know what it is by now. And then we'll tell us, well, I'm so glad they're going to be out of there, aren't you? Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa. All right, this is a great story. So 70 miles northwest of New York City is a place called Scotchtown, New York. So a guy goes out in his front yard, and he's really, rooting around in his bushes, and he finds two giant teeth, and then he starts to dig, and he gets two more teeth, and then he starts to dig, and he gets a skull, and it's a mastodon.

A mastodon became extinct 13,000 years ago. It's kind of like a giant elephant with dinosaur qualities, or something. And it weighs six tons. So it needs to see the mastodon, if we're alive today, would have to see Marie Osmond right away. Big, big animal, all right? So this guy on his front lawn is this big skull, this mastodon. And he gets it.

What's it worth? About 10 grand. Because there are dinosaur collectors who pay them about 10. There have been a couple of others discovered, And that's the ballpark, fascinating story. War on Christmas. So let's go back to 2005, 19 years ago. I get a letter, I'm working the factor at Fox News,

from an employee of Target. And the employee says, I have been told not to say Merry Christmas or I'm gonna get five. I couldn't believe that. So I give it to my cracks. staff. And I said, check this out. It would be true. Turns out to be true. And I go, no, this is not going to happen in the United States. I remember the O'Reilly Factor was the most powerful news program in this country. And to this day, no one will surpass it in the influence of power.

So I'm going to play you two minutes of what I did after receiving that letter. Go. Factor investigation segment tonight, as you know, Christmas has become controversial in America. Public displays of the federal holiday are under attack by the ACLU. And some department stores even tell employees to avoid saying, Merry Christmas. So we decided to look at some retail policies this year, and here's what we found out. Sears Kmart would not answer our questions. Spokesman Chris Braithwaite simply ducked the issue their website banners Wishbook Holiday 2005. They were the worst we had to deal with.

Okay, Sears Kmart. J.C. Penny says its catalog is always called Christmas catalog. Federated department stores, Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Birdhine, says the words, Merry Christmas will be used in most advertising. Same thing at May, Filene's, Lord and Teller, and Marshall Fields. But Coles refuse to define how the company will deal with Christmas. Dillard's, however, will use the slogan, Discover Christmas, Discover Dillard. So there you go.

shop where you like the atmosphere just remember coals and sears kmart basically no all right with us now philip nomen author of the book just say yes extreme customer service that's what i like extreme customer service all right um 85 percent of americans say they're christians christmas a federal holiday signed at the law by u.s grant and we're living in a time or some retail outlets will not say Merry Christmas. Insane? No, no, I don't think it's insane. I think that it's good business practice, actually. And many organizations are trying desperately to be inclusionary. They feel that the use of Merry Christmas in their packaging, their bags, their messages, their environment is just the opposite. It's exclusionary to the 15 or 20 percent of the customer base that is

not Christian. And you agree with that? I do. From a marketing standpoint. See, I think you're, I think you're crazy. And here's why. I think the backlash against stores that don't say Merry Christmas is enormous, because now people are aware of the issue. So I just called the guest crazy. That's why the show was so powerful. So we won. We won, and it was a brawl. You saw the little sticker media matters. They co-opted that. Illegal. by the way, took it from Fox News, and then he stamped it and played it and said, Oh, Raleigh's making it up, O'Reilly this, rally that. But today, 2024, every retailer says Merry Christmas.

No than any of it. That was the biggest victory that I had, and one of the proudest moments that I could change the culture, which was rapidly diminishing Christmas back then, thanks to the ACLU, of the worst organization in the world. They were, you know, going into the courts, the crutches, all of this. It's all done. You don't even hear about it anymore.

And it was done because of me and my staff and the Fox News Channel. And we are so much of a better society because you might think it's a little thing, it's not a little thing. It isn't. And people don't remember how it went down, particularly younger viewers, because we're on YouTube now all over the place.

And some younger viewers, they weren't around, 2005. That was enormous, but it was a brawl. It was an absolute brawl. And I remember fighting these people hand to hand. But we prevailed, and now it is Merry Christmas, as it should be. San Diego, one of my favorite places, but it has gone increasingly. increasingly left in recent years. So San Diego County, the executive there,

is a woman in Ebony Shelton. She is the power in San Diego County. And she says yesterday that she is not going to obey Homeland Security even when criminal undocumented migrants are involved. not going to evict. So he's setting up a sanctuary county and says to the federal government, blank you. But I can cooperate with you on any level. Nothing. I will say it again. I'm the president. I call Pam Bondi. I say, please call the head of the FBI, probably be Cash Patel,

get Mr. Patel on a plane, flies into San Diego. gets in a fleet of caravan cars with other FBI agents, goes to Ebony Shelton's home, accompanied by the media, knocks on the door, and puts her in handcuffs, arrest her for interfering in a federal investigation. First time she does it with a criminal. First time ICE asked for San Diego County to hold somebody who's been charged, the crime was here illegally, and they don't. Ebony goes. I'm telling you, that's it.

It is stopped dead. I'm picking on Emmett, but could be Newsome. Could be Michelle Wu in Boston. Could be Governor Hokel here in New York. Any of them. You do it? We're charging you. Mitch McConnell, not a fan. You know that. He killed Kate's law single-handedly because of venal. He didn't like the fact that a punk like me put the law up. I wouldn't put it up for a vote. Don't like him, never liked him. I wish he would retire. He fell down again. It's the fifth time. So look, Senator, you're 82 years old, okay? It's the fifth time that you've fallen. Spraying his wrist, got cuts on his face. It's over. It's over. Do the right thing. right get out of there for everybody's sake boy 82 it's falling down guy has never really been

you know he's done some good things he's not totally bad but his day is over smart life speak well not good i speak good you know you know how many people you use use double negatives now. I mean, just in the music industry alone, the songs, I don't got no, if you speak well, you will earn more money, command more respect, and get things done a lot quicker. Just the way you speak, sends a message, okay? And so many people, I know grammar is, I went there or I should have gone. It's I should have gone, not I should have went. I made that mistake into my 30s.

I should have went there. No, I should have gone there. I'm being a snob. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a snob. This is a smart life segment. But it's important that you speak well, that you figure out the rules of the road. No double negatives.

Okay? You can use slang. You can drop the G sometimes. but the better you speak, the more prosperous you will be, period. Now, we go to the word of the year, according to Miriam's dictionary. Polarization is the word of 2024. Polarization. Here are the past words.

23, authentic. 22 gaslighting. 21 vaccine, okay, 20 pandemic, we got it. 2019, they, what does that mean, they? I don't know. 18 justice, 17 feminism, 16, surreal, that's still around. 15 ism, 14 culture. So the word of the year, polarization, smart life.

Okay, there's a final thought of the day. So, as we just said, are not woke gears flying out of here. But what exactly is woke? So there's a definition of it, okay? Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues, especially racial and social justice. That's from the Miriam Dictionary, Webster Dictionary. All right.

But what does that really mean? If you are woke, there are two things it means. You are virtue signaling. You are trying to convince people that you are a noble human being, that you have compassion, that you are a special, special, sensitive person. Okay, that's what it is. It's personal. There's also, I'm better than you, because I want all the illegal migrants

to be happy and to have everything, and they're people too, but you want to restrict them. So I'm a better human being than you. That's built into this. That's what virtue signaling is. All right. So these people, they don't regard any kind of reality, no unintended consequences at all by an open border, how much suffering, and how badly it's damaged the country. It doesn't even, no, I, I'm compassionate. I'm woke because I'm just superior to you.

Where is this on display more? There are two places in the country. If you go there, you will see this all day long. Boston, Massachusetts, just pick up the Boston Globe. Okay? Woke all day long. Not the workers, not the blue collars. They have the common sense up in Boston.

And Los Angeles, California. I don't count San Francisco because that's a totally socialist, communist, communist situation there. It's much more complicated. But Los Angeles, particularly in the entertainment community, you know who they are. But oh, we're so enlightened. We're so enlightened.

So my suggestion is if you know somebody who's woke, and you don't like that person. They're annoying. They send them a not woke tea. Anonymous leaves drop it in their mailbox. They'll be so annoyed. I mean, you would like, and believe it on me.

You know, I got the shirt. You throw it up there with me. There I am. Look at that. We have a navy blue too. And the terror dog will not go to sleep without the not walking. without the not woke tea. It's a not woke corgi.

I'm exploiting Holly, the tarotogun, you know, but for a good cause. We're paying our people very well this year. Okay, that's it for us. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see you again on Monday.
