Daniel Penny, New York City, found not guilty of crimes in a terrible situation. He, Penny, Long Island native Marine Corvette on a subway, a guy named Jordan Neely, 30-year-old homeless blackmail, came into the subway. car, was terrorizing the passengers. Mr. Penny sought to neutralize the conduct by getting nearly in a chokehold and nearly died. And it was a big, obviously big New York City story because many felt that the very far left district attorney, Alvin Bragg, should not have brought the charges as there were so many people in the subway car saying they were afraid of this guy. Neely, who was a trouble man, in a long rap sheet. So anyway, it went to trial and the jury acquitted a penny of criminally negligent homicide this morning and last Friday

of second-degree manslaughter. If he had been convicted, he would have had to do time. So now he's done. But he's being sued civilly by Jordan's family, you know, and it never ends. And I'm going to I'm going to do a more in detail analysis here for WABC, which is our flagship radio station. But I'll tell you that a case like this, even though I believe justice was done, because it was reasonable doubt all over the place about intent and whether he died from the confrontation with Daniel Penny, he had drugs in his bloodstream, you know, on and on. Okay, but there was reasonable doubt in my opinion. But there's also a race factor here that always comes into play in New York and many other urban areas around the country.

So that's there as well. But all in all, I think justice was done in this case. So let's turn to politics and the final tally of the November election. So we've got a map here. It was on substack, which is an online political platform. and it shows all the counties in the country and where they voted. The reds are all for Trump.

This is an astronomical stat. Donald Trump won 2,552 counties. Harris won 382. And you can see where the blue is located. And that's interesting. So California coast all the way from the Mexican border up to almost Oregon. is just flat-out blue territory, but the rest of California is not.

New Mexico is the highest number of counties per capita voting blue, voting for liberal candidates, and that's because in New Mexico, it's 66% minority in the state. And minority people generally are dependent on entitlements, and the Democratic Party, of course, the champion of big spending entitlements. So that's what that happens. New England is solid blue. And that's been that way since 1992, except for Maine. Maine is a little independent.

But New England is solid liberal across the board. I believe, because I lived in New England for many years, went to Boston, U and Harvard and then work local news up there. It's the schooling in New England. It's all liberal. The universities, the high schools, the middle schools. it's unbelievable. And if you are not liberal, you do not work.

Very hard to get a job, particularly in the college systems. And there's so many colleges in New England. So anyway, that's a big blue. New York is blue, but it's trending against the crazy progressive left. So Donald Trump did win in a landslide if you go county by county, which is really the way to do it, because even though, you know, states like Montana and Wyoming, these are rural states, Idaho, you know, these are Americans.

And if you look at the communities across the country, overwhelmingly they're traditional. And the Democratic Party relies on L.A., Chicago, New York, and these massive cities, Atlanta, Houston, in to survive. Because again, in those cities concentrated are the poor who need the government subsidies. So that's how it shakes down. But I know, because I know this country as well as any human being does, that the overwhelming sentiment is away from the far left, away from progressive values. And that's the memo. Okay.

Along with the Democratic Party getting decimated, and it is, there's no leadership we went over that, very hard for Democrats to make a comeback, even four years from now, unless Trump screws up really big time. Trump does his job and fulfills some of his promises, you know, the big ones, driving prices down, controlling the border, calming down overseas, fulfills those, Vance will walk into the presidency. All right, because the Democrats don't have anybody that's nationally known, okay? Big disadvantage. But the media took it worse than the Democratic Party. This is an astounding story. So on television, which is the primary vehicle that Americans look to for news, because they want local news, the weather, things like that,

but television is the delivery system. That's changing now. over to the internet. I mean, my operation proves that. But the traditional television distributors of news and information, that's unbelievable. MSNBC is through, as we reported. NBC is cutting ties with it.

They may even have to move out of New York City. It was an article over the weekend. They might have to go to northern New Jersey or Connecticut because they can't afford MSNBC can't afford to rent facilities in Manhattan. not being part of NBC anymore. They'll have to change the name. It's not going to be MSNBC.

It's going to be like the tennis channel. It'll be there. I don't think it'll be out of business, but everybody will go. They're not going to pay millions of dollars to people anymore. So they're done. CNN has to revamp. You realize in the morning,

they do a morning show. Everybody does a morning show, right? So CNN in the morning is around 400,000 viewers. It's nothing. I mean, that's from Anchorage, Alaska, to Key West. There's 330 million people in this country. They got 400,000 watching. Nobody watching them.

So they have to do something. I don't think they're going to fold it, but they got to, I guess, start all over. The networks, they had, network news consists of morning programming, and then the half hour they do. at night. And then, you know, they got 60 minutes and stuff like that. They're all declining, huge. And we gave you the numbers last week. Big, big drops because they all have the mindset. The only network that isn't in the liberal loop is the Fox News Channel. And the Fox News Channel

was declining drastically before the Trump resurrection. And Fox has done very well in the last six months covering the campaign because they're pro-Trump. And all the MAGA people go to Fox News, and that's a fairly big crew. But after this all subsides, I think the numbers in Fox are going to drop significantly because it's dull. I mean, it's the same stuff. They can re-evigorate it. People want to watch it. Maga people do. Conservative, traditional people do but you got it you got it you can't be saying the same thing every hour on the hour my advice take it for what it's worth so anyway uh the corporate media as we have described it is really the big loser a democratic party will come back just a matter when but i don't think

a lot of the media is ever going to come back okay so joining us now is a guy who has lived in California, probably since the gold rush. His name is Victor Davis Hansen. He's an esteemed scholar, Hoover Institution at Stanford University, lives in a valley. Selma, I shouldn't even say that, but he's not a coastal elite. And he had a pretty good view. I think Mr. Hansen is the best columnist, better than me. And I read them every week. He's also the author of the book, the end of everything. All right, so let's talk a little California, and then we'll get into a little Democratic Party.

So is California gone forever? Are the people out there just so ardently liberal, they just can't think about the welfare of their entire country, or is it possible they may come back? 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 debt. 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 866-326-55-7576, or text Bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-26-5576, or text bill to 998899. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, they have to change. The way we got in this problem is that we lost 10 million of the old Pete Wilson, George Digmation, Ronald Reagan voter over the last 30 years who fled to Nevada and Tennessee, Texas, Idaho. And then we had 11 million illegal aliens come in in that same period.

So there was a 20 million person demographic shift. But what's happened, Bill, is the interior of the state. is where most of the 45% of the Hispanic population, who is the largest minority in the state, live. And they are now becoming middle class and they can't make it. They can't buy homes. They can't pay for gas. We have the highest gas taxes. We have the highest electricity rates. We're very high with our sales taxes. We have a third of all the welfare recipients. And they are becoming very conservative. Not all at once, but they've, Donald Trump flipped five counties in California from 2020, from blue to red. Some of them, like Fresno County, are very big. And so there's a

movement. I don't think it's the beginning of the end, but it's the end of the beginning. We're just starting to see people cannot afford Gabman Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, the Diane Feinstein Barbara Boxer, Jerry Brown. They can't afford it. But the coastal elites in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, the biggest county in the country, San Francisco, half of San Diego. I see in San Diego is a battlefield politically. But the coastal elites, the George Clooney's and the movie stars and the tech people, they just are so entrenched into this progressive life. I don't think they're ever going to get out of it. And that's where the big money is, see?

And that's where the money. Yeah, you're right about that. From San Diego, basically, to Berkeley, you've got three things working. You've got, that's where our universities are, Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley. They're all there, and they're big, and there's a lot of them. They're very world-ranked some of them. And then you've got $9 trillion of market capitalization in Silicon Valley. And then you've got the Bay Area left-wing political establishment, and that trifecta makes it very hard.

But you're starting to see, it's not just the Elon Musk or Peter Till in Silicon Valley, you're starting to see people like Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, David Sachs. These were left-wing people and said, these guys are lunatics. We won't be able to function and we're going to lose Silicon Valley to Austin or we're going to lose it to Research Triangle in North Carolina unless we straighten up. And this state is our enemies. That's not our friends anymore. That's new.

And it's just beginning. And we have, we recall the mayor of San Francisco and of Oakland and the DEA. So it's not, it's not something that's going to, you know, be happy. It's not going to happen overnight, but it's just the very beginning of something. I don't understand why it doesn't happen overnight when the average Californians paying more than $5 for gallon of gas. I mean, it's so far ahead of everybody else. Here in New York, no conservative bastion. I'm paying three bucks a gallon for gas, okay?

I go to L.A., which I am going to do, I have to, in a few weeks. I'm going to pay five, all right? Well, I think with all due respect, I think you'll pay $5.50. All right, whatever. Popular uprising doesn't seem to be happening, and that's what I don't understand. But let me ask one specific question. Yeah. So I have said that Kamala Harris is going to run for governor.

I think what's his name is up in two years, and he can't run again, Newsom. And I think Hamla Harris is going to run. Do you concur? She might run. I don't think she'll have a chance. She ran for Attorney General the first time, and she almost lost. It took two weeks to count the votes, and that was in a 70% left-wing state. She's not popular here.

The Hispanic community is not fond of her. We have one of the smallest black populations. Only about 4% of the state is black now, and the identity politics doesn't work so well. But the main thing, Bill, is most of her money that billion dollars and maybe the other billion in PAC money actually came from California, from Silicon Valley and Hollywood. And they are furious at her because of the Oprah, Cardi B, Beyonce spending, the price. private jets, the North County, and they're not going to give her any money. I hear that all the time from these people. But who would challenge her? So a big name. Everybody knows her. ID is huge.

Still got the machine behind her. So who could challenge her for governor. Well, we don't have anybody. Yeah, we don't have any. But there's a lot of assemblymen, senators in the state that Los Angeles City Council, and they'll find somebody. But I don't think that her name, yeah, I think she's going to have a Mike Dukakis from retirement, just obscurity. I really do. All right, I hope so, because she doesn't really bring anything to the table and never has, in my opinion, my home opinion. So let's go national now. I don't know of most people in the country, people who watch you and me read our columns and watch the NOSPN News and all that, they know. They know what happened four weeks ago, exactly four weeks ago. It was not only that Donald Trump won the election, but the Democratic Party was destroyed on a national basis. There's no leader for the Democratic Party now, none.

So my question to you is, how fast can they rebuild for the next election four years away? Yeah, I think they have to lose the midterms because they haven't got the message yet. They keep saying it was the messaging that they didn't present their case well enough. It wasn't every one of the issues that Donald Trump ran on, polled even higher than Donald Trump did, the border, the economy, crime, overseas, deterrence, the trans issues, the DEI, woke issues. They were losing across the board, and they haven't given that up. They keep thinking that, well, maybe if we had done just this much, or we had the Joe

Rogan, that's not the problem. And this is despite 95% negative coverage of Donald Trump in the mainstream media, and they outraised him two and a half to one. They had all the advantages. And yet somehow, as you said, he had this mandate, and it was much bigger than the actual the electoral college or the popular vote mandate because the issues were all on his side. And they pulled overwhelmingly in his favor. And yet they don't seem to have gotten the message. And they always think they can have a fix, Bill. They always think, you know, maybe we can drain the strategic petroleum reserve

or get Roe versus Wade, leak that memo out, or maybe we can cancel student loans as they did in the midterms. Or this time around it, maybe we can get a new candidate, or maybe we can promise this or that. But it's just they don't get it. But fundamentally, the middle class has spoken. There's nobody to get it. There's nobody in charge.

No, there's no power or no single. power. I guess Schumer would be the most powerful guy, and he just wanders around, Schumer. I mean, they got Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania. They got the guy in Kentucky who's a governor, pretty popular. They got some moderate Democrats that they can parade on out there, but they are not progressives. And the progressives, the Soros money, the Hollywood money, Katzenberg, these people, they still control the party because they have all the money. No, they do. But you've got to remember, who were the people who got rid of Joe Biden? They weren't, as you say, they weren't politicians, basically. They were the Obamas and the donor class.

And Nancy Pelosi came in. So they were, they represented, as you said, the progressive party who the people don't want anymore. And they have a lot of power because they had Hollywood, the Clooney's and the money, the Sorosos, the Silicon Valley money. and then they had Pelosi and the Obama's pulling the strings. But the price they paid for that is they haven't developed candidates of the Bill Clinton type that can appeal to people. But it took them from McGovern to Bill Clinton, you know, we're about the same age. That was 20 years it took them to get from McGovern to Bill Clinton. Right. Well, if Trump is successful, that shoes in J.D. Vance, because that wouldn't have.

me close, but you're right. It's a long game. Now, the final subject I want to talk to you about is, I think, and I wrote a column this week, that the American people saved the country. It wasn't Donald Trump, although he absolutely, to me, is an astounding example of somebody who just wouldn't give up and took everything they threw at him. And he has to go down in history, and he will, if I I have anything to do with it, as a superb example of courage in the face of all of what he had to think. But it was really the folks that drove this election, that most Americans said, enough. We don't want this anymore. And I, you know, I wavered in 22, Professor, because the midterms did not go the Republican way.

and I predicted there was going to be a red wave in 22 because I saw this progressive destruction very early on, but it didn't happen. But the last two years, there was almost something magical that happened in the country. Can you put your finger on it? Well, I think we'd had two years of disaster, but we hadn't had four years. So in this election, two years after, people thought, well, maybe this is so bad that border will be closed or we can't go on with another Afghanistan pullout. So maybe that'll be the end of it. But it wasn't. And the other thing was that Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot. You're right about him. He's a larger than life figure. Everything they did to destroy and made him stronger. But the main thing about him is he's able to appeal

and energize the middle class. He tells the middle class, don't disconnect. Don't drop out. Just because you don't want to watch Hollywood movies or you don't watch the Oscars anymore and you've given up, get back in and vote because we can take the country back. If you ask for a moment,

maybe that iconic moment when he was at the McDonald's window and that Indian-American fellow, I'm just an ordinary person. And right off the bat, Trump said, you're not ordinary. You're not ordinary. No one's ordinary.

I thought that was a really key moment that kind of exemplified his appeal. Absolutely. For a guy who, was raised in wealth, and I wrote about that in the United States of Trump, he has got the common touch. Hey, Professor, we always enjoy talking to you. I hope you'll come back. Thank you. And again, Victor Davis Hanson's columns, I get them on real clear politics, which runs them steadily, so that's where you can get them. Very worth reading. And you have a Merry Christmas,

Professor. Thanks very much for helping us out. Let's bring in our pal Ruben and Everett from Carlsbad, California. He's syndicated column. Yes, you may have read his stuff, very good, very astute. And not many people know this, but after I love Fox News 2017, Ruben Everett was our first guest that we ever had on the No Spin News. And he's back. You look a little older, Rubin, but I'm aging in dog years. So, you know, that's just the way it goes.

Where am I making my mistake? Bill, so good to be with you again, my friend. I think the place you're making your mistake is I'm often mistaken for a Republican, not just because I appear on Bill O'Reilly's show, but because I believe in what Reagan said in the 1980s about taking responsibility for your actions. And I think that American employers, for instance, need to own up to the fact that we've become addicted to undocumented immigrant labor going on 30 years now, not just because we think it's cheaper than U.S. labor, but because it's more reliable.

These people show up. They don't flunk their drug tests. They actually don't sleep in. They show up on time and they work. And also the drug problem, as the President of Mexico correctly point out, we have an addiction problem. I have three kids who are teenagers, but since they were babies, I've had doctors prescribed pill after pill after pill after pill for them. So many of these, and you've done shows about this, many of these pill mills, many of this

addiction that we've bred in this country to take a pill and make it feel better. When I see these stories about people ODing on fentanyl, for instance, Bill, I see stories that read like this. A basketball team was celebrating a big win. They were doing cocaine and oh my goodness, it was laced with fentanyl. Well, you know, your granddad was a cop. My dad was a cop and I was growing up to not use cocaine, not use, you know, weed and drugs and pot. So I'm always mystified by how it is that when people use drugs they shouldn't be using that ends up being laced with fentanyl, we want to blame Mexico. I'll say this, just my last point. We don't have in 35 years of covering this issue. We don't just have an issue with bad laws and bad borders. We have an

with bad parenting because as parents we've not stepped up to the plate put our kids to do these jobs that our immigrants are doing and also tell them just don't do drugs okay i don't disagree with your points but i think that they are a little bit naive so point number one congress absolutely has to make a new immigration law they call it comprehensive that's a bunch of bull 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.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. 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.

And the new immigration law has to give out more green cards, more working permits to migrants who want to work legally. That has to happen. Whether Donald Trump gets behind it or not, I don't know. But in conjunction with sealing off the chaos, that has to happen. That's number one. Number two, the United States of America is responsible for people using narcotics. Yet nobody will deal with the problem because, oh, it's a disease and you've got to feel sorry for him, all of that kind of stuff. And you're not going to change that, Rubin.

You're not. All right. If it were me, I would have involuntary. That means you would force the criminal drug addicts convicted of a crime. You either go to jail or you go to rehab for a year, a year and a half, like they did in Singapore. And Singapore has no drug problem. And I did my thesis at Harvard on that.

I went to Singapore. And I saw with my own eyes that when you isolate the market, you take it away. There is no market. and particularly if you're punishing drug dealers. But right now we're an emergency situation. You would agree with that, right? 14 million foreign nationals unattended in this country, 275 pounds of narcotics being seized.

We're in a crisis situation. You've got to stop the crisis, right? I agree. We've got to stop the crisis. We also got to think about how we got here so we don't get into another crisis. Well, I don't mind about that. That was Kamala Harris who was going to get to the root cause, okay?

She had a bang-up job there. She didn't really do that. She didn't really do that, exactly. very, very brilliant woman. But you've got to stop the bleeding before you can go to the healing. And you've got to stop the bleeding is, hey, look, President Shinebaum, you're going to do what we tell you to do, or we're going to punish you. And we're going to punish you hard.

Yeah, that's not going to work, Bill. Here's why. No, here's not, here's why that's not going to work. If you quote, break Mexico, if we go down to Mexico and pull of John Wayne, we're going to push ourselves around down there, the end result is you're going to have, again, as you said a Mexican depression. What happens when the Mexican economy goes south, many more Mexicans come up to the north? Not they're not going to be able to come up. Because they're going to seal that out. You can seal that border down. No, no. We've had this conversation, my friend,

for over 20 years. There's difference between sealing the border and securing the border. I'm with you that you should secure the border. You're never going to seal a 2,000 mile border. You put the U.S. military on the border. You can, and you will, and Trump will do it. Okay. He'll say national security. He'll put the military right on that border. You're not to put the military underground because there are tunnels that go underground. Well, there'll be some that get through. But it'll be, and if you do it in conjunction with the people smugglers and you wipe out the cartels, as they did with ISIS.

If you're re-killing the killers, I methodically went over how Obama and Trump did it, step by step. And you could do the same thing with the car. It's easier to do it with the cartels because everybody knows where they are. With ISIS and al-Qaeda, it's hard to find them. It's not hard to find the cartels. they're partying and up in Alcapulco, all right? You can get them. They live in giant, lavish mansions that can be cinder in 15 minutes.

So anyway, I am a very, very aggressive person on this issue. I don't believe that Mexico is looking out for America at all, Rubin, at all, in any way. They're not looking out for America. And unless they change, we got to punish them. Last word. I agree with you. They're not looking out for America. I'm looking out for Mexico, just as we look out for America.

You're right. They need that $50 billion a year that Mexicans send up to the United States. It's clear they're out for themselves. But ultimately, they do us a lot of good as well by providing intel, a trade that goes back and forth. Over 100,000 people come from San Diego into Mexico every day to go to work and back and forth. So this is not a divorce we can afford to have. we do have a friend and ally down there and by the way, if you want to know what's like to have

a hostile power on your border, talk to Israel or Ukraine about that. We don't need it. All right, Rubin. Always great to debate with you. You have a Merry Christmas. Really appreciate your time today. My friend, thank you. Okay. All right. Another Enterprise

News Nation is doing well. It's increasing its audience and it's not ideological and I am on it. not why it's increasing because I don't do that many spots. I do a morning on Wednesday with Marky Martin. I do Leland Vitterd on Monday and I do Cuomo tonight on Wednesday. So I want to show you three sound bites in case you haven't checked that out. The first one is I had to, when I started doing this, and this soundbites from

June 5th this year, I had to kind of educate Cuomo a little bit. Go. I know a lot, Cuomo, and you'd be very wise to listen very closely. So Hunter Biden and Joe, Joe, Hunter Biden and Donald Trump have one big thing in common. Do you know what it is? They both like crack cocaine? Ooh, that's a libel suit right there on you. I had a question mark at the end of it. They're both playing the victim.

Okay. The second sound by it is about Kamala Harris, not answering any questions. You remember when Brett Bair at Fox interviewed her, he got, I think it was 24 minutes. He was able to ask 11 questions, and the vice president did not answer one of them. Here's what I said. That's insulting to the audience. the audience you see well you ask somebody a question in your personal life hey mabel right um what kind of car is that and they go um i i like pancakes what i ask you what kind of car that

that's fair you see what i mean okay so we like to have some humor and and stuff like that going on in these segments. And the third one, Stephen A. Smith, who you saw there, is on again. And Stephen A, he gets serious, you know, with Cuomo. And he said, look, I like to be around smart people. And then I replied, go. That's my phrase. For Stephen A, I don't want to be surrounded by smarter people. That's why I do the Cuomo show. All right, if I wanted to be surrounded by smarter people, I wouldn't be sitting here tonight. President Company, Stephen A, excluded.

Yeah, good, smart move. Okay, so we'll be on tonight. You might want to check it out. It's a good flow back and forth. And News Nation, I appreciate the fact that I'm on there, and it's a network that has a lot of potential. Smart Life. So, 6.5 million Americans have second homes. I didn't know that.

And that's not a lot. All right, that's less than 5% of population. I mean, it's cost enough to keep one home. But 6.5 million have second homes. Some of them vacation homes, some of them are rental properties, whatever it may be. There are certain states that are friendlier if you want to buy a second home. And so as of 2022, Florida led to leave. So a million Americans of second homes in Florida.

Wyoming was last. Only 16,000 second homes. Wyoming's spectacular state. And the real estate is reasonable. A little tip for you. Smart life. But anyway, here are the top 10 markets for people buying swanky second homes. First, number one, Cape May County, New Jersey.

That's the tip of New Jersey. That gets New York and Philadelphia money. Gulf County, Florida, they're going for the weather in proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, Walton County, Florida, very reasonable live in Walton County, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, that is Cape Cod, Collier County, Florida, Coquanino County, Arizona, don't know much about that. Maui County, after the fire, though, that's fallen off. Buford County, that's a low country in South Carolina, very reasonable, very pretty, a little humid. New York County, New York County. York that's Manhattan petitaires people buy small apartments there and Newport County Rhode Island Newport Rhode Island a premier destination you have been in Newport put it on your list so if you're looking for a second home those are the top ten and the reason I'm telling you this in a smart life segment is number

one you can visit and number two if you buy a home you want to make money on it okay you don't want to buy you know in the middle of a you don't want to buy right now in Aurora Colorado you don't want to go there there's a lot of gangs okay you want to go to these places smart light these astronauts boy there's an update Sunni Williams Butch Wilmore so they go up on June 5th right they were supposed to spend about a week in space it's still there they can't get home Boeing can't get them out of there Now they say that it'll be March or even April before they're back home. And they've been up there, they well, we're packed for a week and we're gone six months.

Now this again goes back to the Biden administration. They run NASA and Boeing out of problems. They're stranded up there. They're okay, they're safe, but they can't get them back. Boy, I mean, you know, is this federal government screwed up? Yeah. All right, here's the final thought of the day. As you know, and I brag often about this, and that's a failing on my part, bragging.

We are the most successful nonfiction authors in the world. So I'm thinking about my third grade nun, sister Mary Lorana, once said, Are you ever going to read a book, William? Ha ha! Not only do I read book, sister, but I am the best-selling nonfiction author in the world. How about that? So, I thought you'd like to see some of the book covers. I'm going to show you the book covers.

You can guess what country. Number one, throw it on up there. What country does this reflect? All right. Take a look. That would be Brazil. It's a Portuguese. Second one. Go. Okay, very, you know, nice cover. What is that? Where is that? Ready? Take a guess. Bulgaria. Big in Sophia, it's a capital of Bulgaria. Third one. Throw it on up there. Okay, there's patent. What country? China.

I'm sure she and all the boys have read that. In Beijing, Patton's big. Next one. Killing the SS. What country? Croatia. On the Dalmatian coast. Next one.

Jesus. Christmas. Nice cover, right there. Holland. A lot of pagans in Holland, but killing Jesus very well there. Next one. Jesus, again, nice cover. They have the cross wrong, but that's okay. That is Germany, Deutschland.

Next one. We got the SS again. Where's this? Greece. All right. And we get Jesus back on the next cover. that is Hungary

Jesus once again what do you think France alright let's go back to JFK all right take a guess

Japan two more SS again Italy. And the final one, we end with Jesus. What do you think? This is Russia. It's probably in Putin's bookshift.

Isn't that fascinating? Now, we don't have anything to do with the art. Once I sell the rights to a country, this is interesting. So I designed the art for the U.S. USA, all the covers and everything of my design. But once I sell the rights to any country, they publishing house over there, do what they want with it. They can't alter the text.

They can't change it. And my name and Dugard's name has to be undercover really prominently. But that's it. And some of those are really nice, nicely done. But we're very flattered that we're all over the world. world, even in a totalitarian countries. I didn't see anything in Cuba. In Ireland and England, the British Isles, we're not widely distributed there for some reason. I'm not really sure why. A lot of Brits and Irish order through Amazon, Amazon ships all over the world. So they get

the American versions, which is fine. I mean, they don't know that. It's mainland Europe. and Asia where we do our big business. I got a whole bunch of stuff from Spain, but I just didn't, I thought 11 would be nice. So how many did you get? How many of those did you get? If anybody got them all, let me know, because I want to call. And, you know, how did you know all that?

But we're very proud of our products. And again, you get them all in a bundle, one bundle, if you missed some of them. And also the United States of Trump, you know, for inauguration, we're going to have a couple of specials. If you really care about Donald Trump, you know, if you have a motion invested in him, you kind of want to know who he is, and that's the best book ever. You get an out-woke bumper sticker if you buy it because Trump certainly is not a woke

guy, which is one of the reasons he won. No doubt about it in my mind. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see tomorrow.
