All right, the U.S. hockey gold is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
Right before we started to tape this in a late afternoon, it was announced that the U.S.
women's hockey team won the gold is not going to appear at the state of the union.
They were invited by President Trump.
Members of the men's team will appear.
Not all of them because there's a whole kind of logistical, because the NHL starts midweek back up.
But this is an interesting story because there's a huge culture difference between women's sports and men's sports in America.
And that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
It goes beyond that, of course.
We are a divided nation, deeply divided.
and the political hatred is growing.
And it's spurred by President Trump's presence, no matter what he does.
All right, it's spurred by immigration, ice, all of that.
And the third is the economy.
So some people are having trouble keeping up.
Okay?
So when you get all those elements swirling around, then you have a divided country, which is what we have.
So you get two gold medal winners, the men's hockey team and the women's hockey team,
the men's team, very respectful and patriotic, the women's team, not so much.
Sorry, ladies, it's not as bad as a women's soccer team, which was anti-American, in my opinion.
But, you know, it's a different culture.
Okay, let's run it down for you with some facts to back it up.
It's always nice, right?
So after the USA defeated Canada on Sunday,
the Hughes brothers.
These guys are amazing.
One of whom won the game with a goal in overtime said this.
Go.
This is all about our country right now.
I love the USA.
I love my teammates.
It's unbelievable.
The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong.
And we had so much support from next players.
I'm so proud to be American today.
I love the U.S. and the greatest country in the world.
So I'm happy to represent it here with these guys.
And that's really special.
So that's Jack and Quinn Hughes.
And you got to, you know, when I'm watching it,
I got up early 8 a.m. to watch it.
I was proud.
I, you know, I just said, you guys did what you had to do.
And the reason that the USA won was because of Connor Hollaback, the goalie,
a place of the Winnipeg Jets, but he's from Commerce, Michigan.
He blocked 41 and 42 shots.
I mean, without him, Canada would have won.
Because Canada was getting more shots on goal and had the best.
and had the better of the play, but the USA would not give up.
And so they deserve their win.
The only controversy that we can see was when Cash Patel, a director of the FBI,
showed up in the locker room after the game to hoist a beer with the boys.
Okay.
Now, I'm not offended by this.
and there was a reason that Mr. Patel was there.
The FBI provided some security expertise to the Italian government
during the entire Olympics.
It wasn't like Patel just flew over for the game.
He's the head of the Bureau, and the Bureau was working with the Italians
to make sure nothing happened and nothing did happen.
It was miraculous.
So if Patel wants to go in and have a good time with the boys after the game,
I don't have any problem with that.
But of course, others do.
Roll the tape.
His spokesperson says he was in Milan on official business.
Well, aren't there more officially pressing business matters to be dealt with here in the States
that maybe he could have done a better job than showing up in Milan on the private job?
He showed up for American athlete's security.
He showed up at the end of the Olympics.
And so I think generally in law enforcement, when there's an issue, you show up at the beginning so that you can prepare security.
He was chugging beer.
You're not playing.
You're not, you know, and he's behaving like he's like a member of animal house.
Please.
You know, number one, I don't think Ms. Goldberg even knew that the FBI was assisting the Italian government.
And the other ones is that you show up at.
Not at the, I don't know why Disney, I just don't know why, you know, but it's never going to change over there.
So, on the internet, which we ignore, because they're haters, they're serious haters.
These are seriously damaged people.
I have to point out the Huffington Post is the worst.
This hate hates the country, hates the United States.
In Canada, there was mild criticism.
Go.
Look, I'll just say number one, I certainly echo everyone's sentiment feeling today and how this stinks.
It's a tough one.
Canada deserved to win this game.
They outplayed the US.
So what?
You know, I mean, come on, accepted gracefully.
All right.
I wrote a message of the day.
It's on bill o'Reilly.com.
It's about nationalism.
And there is a good part of nationalism and a bad part.
And the final point I want to make before we get to our guest,
Stephen A. Smith is that you are looking at a situation that is far more important than a sport.
So our country, I don't know if it's ever going to come together again.
I don't, not in my lifetime.
I don't think it will.
I think this division is there to stay between the red states and the blue states
and the women's team and the men's team.
And under a constitution, perfectly, you know, there's no demand that we're in lock
step.
But it makes me sad.
It does.
And that's a memo.
All right, Johnny is from Miami, where he's hiding out from the snow,
is Stephen A. Smith, who is the premier sportscaster in America,
whether you like him or not, he is.
And he's the author of Straight Shooter, A Memoir of Second Chances or First Takes,
that's still in circulation his book.
Where am I going wrong here, Stephen?
Well, I would say to you, let me first,
applaud you on where I think you're going right.
I do believe that, you know,
I don't have any problem whatsoever
with the FBI director being in the locker room celebrating
with Team USA.
He's the FBI, the United States of America.
His rooting interests clearly is undeniable.
And we've seen plenty of elected officials
at sporting events, rooting on Team USA.
What's wrong with him being there?
I see no issue with that whatsoever.
however. And even though I have a great relationship and I love me some Whoopi Goldberg,
she's a friend. I've known her for many, many years. And I respect those on the view,
even though we may disagree from time to time. I just think that they were off with what
they were complaining about when it came to Cash Patel being there, being present, et cetera,
et cetera. Where I would disagree with you is when you talk about Disney because I would
remind you, Bill O'Reilly, I've been working for ESPN for over 20 years. I work for Disney.
and they certainly don't control what I say,
and I certainly have opinions that are far different from them.
So I would say to you specify the view as opposed to specify Disney,
because I work for it too, and they don't have any influence over what I say.
Let me rebut because I didn't know you were going to bring this up,
and it's an interesting topic.
Disney puts on a propaganda show every day,
a left-wing propaganda show every day.
You don't do that.
You do sports.
I don't.
ESPN does sports.
Now, in the globe of sports, you got a lot of any opinions.
Get Steve Kerr out in the Golden State Word.
But you got conservative guys, got that.
But Disney, under the banner of news, which, of course, it isn't, the view is not news,
all right?
Throws a left-wing propaganda show on that does not book one conservative guest the whole year of 2020.
You think that's okay?
I don't think it's okay.
I don't think they think it's okay.
And I think that's why they've made efforts to correct it.
Now, you might have.
What efforts?
What effort?
I'm just saying, you've seen conservatives coming on.
I didn't know I was here to talk about that, but I won't run from it.
I will tell you that I think you've seen, they know that it's a problem that needed to be addressed.
And as a result, it's in the process of being addressed because I think you've seen more conservatives coming on that show.
Now, you've been on the show in the past, well, Marjorie Taylor Green was one of them.
I forgot who else was up there. The only reason she was on there was to bash Trump.
She could never get on there until she started to bash Trump. Then they want it.
But then you also have, well, they would tell you, I don't know this because I'm not a part of that show,
but they would tell you that Republicans have been invited and they've been reluctant to come home.
That's what they would say. That's what they would say. I don't know that to be true, Bill.
And neither do you stop that. You don't know that to be true.
Yeah, I do.
Not, not. I know it to be true.
show on many occasions.
They don't turn me down.
You know, I'm out of fact.
You're not conservative.
Then Republicans turn me down.
More liberals than Republicans turn me down.
So, I mean, I get where you're coming from.
It's a propaganda thing that's shoved down the throat.
And it's okay if they would have a counter to it, but they don't.
Okay, that's fine.
And I can agree with that.
But isn't it true bill?
And you would know this better than me because of the year, the decades you've been in television.
You see it everywhere now.
Like whether CNN, MSNBC, Foxwood, everybody has their own arm.
Everybody has their own tilt.
We've seen that before.
That's true.
We've been seeing it a lot.
So we can't deny it's not about one show.
It's not even about one entity.
It's about the business itself, which is something that we've lamented.
One of the things that I've said, and I've said this publicly, so I can say it to you again, about late night.
Late night's got an issue.
Do you know what would have resolved the issue from day one?
You're comedians.
What's the number one things comedians say?
Nobody is safe.
Everybody is open to be parodied, ridiculed, et cetera, et cetera.
And there seemed to be this concerted effort aimed at one individual who happens to be our president who's in his second term,
considerably, excessively more than anybody else.
Had they went after everybody, we wouldn't have these problems.
And they ruined themselves.
We wouldn't have these problems.
They ruined themselves.
So I agree with you did.
So did SNL.
All right, let's get to the women's men's thing.
Sure.
So there's a different culture, I believe, okay, in the locker rooms of both.
Would I be wrong in saying that?
Yeah, but maybe not for the reasons you're thinking.
I think that a lot of times with the guys, for example, you're going out there and you're fixated on your performance,
but you're not necessarily as connected to the issues.
in an intimate and more emotional manner than some of the ladies are.
And the ladies are smart as a whip.
They pay attention to a lot of the issues.
They're mindful.
They're cognizant.
And most importantly, they seem to be a bit more unafraid to speak out about various issues.
Well, like you brought up in your monologue when you talked about immigration.
It could be immigration.
It could be the state of our country.
Wouldn't it have been better, though, for the coach of the women's team,
just to say, I'm letting the ladies decide for themselves.
Rather than issue with statement.
But we don't know that that's not what happened.
No, no, they issued a statement.
The women's hockey team said,
we're not showing up for the state of the union,
even though we're invited by the president.
Yeah, but what I'm saying to you is that the coach wasn't speaking for them.
I mean, they let it be known that's how they feel collectively.
Well, okay, but they don't run the asylum.
All the coach had to do is say,
if there are any dissenters who would like to go to,
the state of the union, you're free to go.
They wanted to embarrass Trump.
That's what they wanted to do.
No, no, no, no. I disagree with you that.
It's not about wanting to embarrass him.
It's about emphatically disagreeing with him
and letting it be known.
Oh, they want to get him.
Well, listen, here's the mind.
You think everybody on that women's team
disagrees with Trump? You don't think he's one person
who likes the president?
I think it's, listen, I think it's entirely possible
that collectively speak.
A lot of them, if not all of them, don't like him.
But you're missing the point why, and I'm going to get at you about this Bill O'Reilly.
Again, policy aside, how many times have you and I go back and forth about the optics and how things are done?
Everybody's not in the weeds the way that you are.
About, look at the details that you provided.
Look at when you were talking about Cash Mattel.
You literally gave us information about what he was there for, what his work entailed prior to the celebration upon Team USA.
winning the gold medal.
You'd be surprised.
You know how many people didn't know that,
but they come to the no spend zone
and then they find it out.
There's a lot of things that you know.
The fact of the matter is
is that far more often than not,
people are not going by that.
They're going about how things look.
They're going about,
they're catching stuff on a surface level
as it pertains to how he chooses to do things.
We all know that if you open the borders
and you let over 12 million people in here
illegally and what have you,
that things have to be done.
They know that.
But in the same breath, how you go about addressing the issue, the sensitivity that you verbalize and you express, all of those things play a role.
I don't mind the dissent.
I don't mind the dissent.
You yourself have said you didn't like the way he did think sometimes, the way he does it.
And that's what people have meant.
But here's where you're making your mistake, and I'll give you the last word.
I don't mind the dissent.
Okay.
But the men's hockey team honored the country.
They didn't honor Trump.
But they were respectful when they got the invitation.
Some of them will go and some of them wouldn't.
Okay?
But the women's team was not respectful to the office of the presidency.
First thing, let me say this.
I completely agree with you about the importance of respecting the office.
I don't want that to get lost in our back and forth.
respect the office is incredibly incredibly important you're right but bill you have to respect
what you know better than most this is america and in america it's not just about freedom of speech
it's not just about freedom of expression is the freedom to feel the way that you want to feel
we don't like you may not like how somebody has gone about doing things but it is their right to do
it and i know you're not questioning their right to do it you know they have a right to do it what
I'm saying to you is that if you believe that a person that's serving as our commander in
chief is classless, he's devoid of decorum, you wish he would act better, and he really has
riled you up and really, really turned you off, and you have an opportunity to express
yourself in a fashion where you're engaging in what you would deem to be reciprocation,
that might be what's behind it all. I'm not saying it's right. I don't believe that every
woman on that team feels that way.
I'm not, okay.
I don't believe it.
But what I'm saying, but what I'm trying to say to you, whether it's 12, 15, or 20 people,
it's entirely plausible that they could feel that way.
And you're right.
And let them express it as individuals, but don't use the team banner.
But you don't know what I'm saying to you as a guy covering sports.
You don't know that they were prohibited from doing that.
You don't know if they made the decision to have a voice speak for the collective body as
opposed to them wanting to speak individually.
Some of them, all of they may have preferred it this way.
If that were the case, the team did not announce it, which would be very unusual.
And I would say to you, I would say to you that in covering sports, when a team comes to that
conclusion, more often than not, trust me, those players made the decision and deferred to them.
I've been covering sports for 30 years.
A lot of times players are high behind the team.
Players hide behind the team a lot.
I think it's told you.
They really do, Bill. They really do.
They are behind the team a lot.
Seriously.
Absolutely correct.
All right, Stephen A, thanks for the lively debate.
We really appreciate it.
We'll see you soon.
No problem.
All right, joining us now from Miami, same place Doug was,
because these guys are not tough enough to take the weather in the northeast.
Shone and Buck Sexton, who has a bookout.
manufacturing delusion of the left uses brainwashing, indoctrination propaganda against you.
You know, he is on the radio with the Clay and Buck program, which I do occasionally.
So, Sexton, where am I going wrong? Where's shown going wrong? What are we missing here?
Well, missing with what? I mean, I think that the Democrats are completely insane.
I think that Jimmy Kimmel and what they're presenting to the American people is an alternative reality, dare I say a delusion.
I mean, you mentioned my book and Bill.
One thing I've learned from doing the research of this is that the problem is fitting in all of the delusions.
The problem is getting all of the unreality onto the page that we're forced to live in day in and day out.
But I didn't just want to make this a screed about what's going on.
on today, although certainly we get into, in the book, I get into the transgender madness,
the BLM madness, COVID.
Obviously, it's not a COVID book, but there's some reflection on the craziness that happened
during COVID.
But I wanted to go back to some of the people who are the, honestly, the biggest experts
of the last hundred years in the fields of psychiatry, of coercion, of psychological operations,
and look at how do people in terms of.
totalitarian states where this really became something of an evil art form, how do they seize minds?
And what I kept coming into, Bill, was even the great experts, people like Juist Mirlu,
who was a Dutch American psychiatrist, who was fighting against the Nazis, then joined the Dutch
army in exile during World War II and was doing psychological operations for the British,
he said, look, I've studied the Nazis, I've debriefed some of the worst of the SS,
how they control minds involves a lot of force, a lot of violence, but there are pathways that are similar to even Western countries and the left and the totalitarian impulse.
And I think people need to understand that.
So I unpack some of those tactics and get into some of the realities of how mass mind control can be achieved without bayonets up against everybody's throat.
And that's something that we're certainly seeing in this country.
But it happens on both sides.
there are right-wing cooks too,
but the left has perfected it here
with the tremendous help
of the corporate media,
which if you watched the state of the union,
and I always do this,
I whipped on CNN as soon as it was over.
Okay, so I know what Fox is going to say.
And then they already started on Epstein.
Already started that, boom, they couldn't,
They didn't have any kind of defense against Trump's speech because it was effective.
So they right away try to divert.
And that's one of the things in your book.
And I did read your book.
To create delusion in people's minds, you've got to first sweep reality away.
Yes.
Real life has to leave the main.
Right.
Real life has to leave the building.
And that's much easier into totalitarian as you just.
said than in a free country. So I don't think that's ever going to happen here on a mass level,
mass delusion. But when you saw last night the traps that the Republican Party laid for the Democrats,
I was stunned the Democrats weren't prepared for those traps. How did you see it?
No, I think, Bill, that the Democrats got what they deserved and got what needed to be said.
Trump just called them out for being crazy. I mean, this party, and I think there's a number of
reasons why it has gone in this direction, but you mentioned the corporate media control they
had, and most notably until Elon's purchase of X and the breakthrough of the second Trump
administration of social media in a whole range of ways, the stranglehold they had over
information online, I think created a left that was increasingly authoritarian. And I would,
if I could push back just a little bit on we won't have mass delusion in America.
I mean, I would argue that the shutting down of schools and the double masking while you were
sitting at your chair, but not while you were getting up to go to the bathroom at the
restaurant, but not while you were sitting in your chair and getting six shots and the genuflection
of I'm so happy I got COVID, but I'm vaccinated, all these things.
I mean, that was a mass delusion that we were going through.
But remember, that wasn't a partisan delusion that Donald's.
Trump was president and that Fauci, who was a villain in your book, worked for Trump. So it wasn't
that there was just one party pushing it. The whole federal government kind of coalesced around
these erroneous things, and many of them were, the social distancing, the mask, which didn't
provide any protection. But now you've got a radical movement in this country that controls
the Democratic Party.
I don't see that spreading
much more
than it has.
Go ahead. So let me give you an example
of where I think it spreads. And to be
clear, now we can talk about, well, what's
a mass delusion? I mean, when we're saying
mass, are we talking about 80%
of the country? Are we talking about
10 million people or a million people
or even a few hundred thousand people who
believe something and
then can have enormous effect
on the rest of the country? An example of this.
would be the transgender madness.
Now, we could say, okay, well, is that really a mass delusion?
Because only 20% of the country, based on a lot of the polls, really buys into this stuff.
But in manufacturing delusion, I get into, we'll hold on a second.
It's not just the people in the mass.
It's also the institutions, right?
It's the old seizing of the telegraph office paradigm.
It's who's parroting this stuff in the media?
Who has something that I talk about in the book in manufacturing delusion, the fire hose of falsehood
at their disposal, who can just inundate, can flood the zone with those lies.
So even if you don't have the numbers, and Bill, as you know, the Bolsheviks were never the
majority in Russia.
Neither were the Nazis.
They were actually a faction among.
Right, right.
A faction among factions.
And so, look, you were, and one of the fascinating things about your book, Buck, is that Buck
did work for the CIA.
And he went to these places and he saw the delusion that was growing.
But in America, we don't have, you either see it my way or you're going to get the hell beat out of you by the SA thugs.
That's not happening here.
But I don't want to argue that.
What I want to argue is my, I think the Democratic Party is almost destroying itself at this point.
Put Trump and the Republicans aside.
Just concentrate on what's happening within the Democratic Party.
the party of JFK, who was really the last true Democrat.
Carter was, and Carter had no idea what he was.
Barack Obama was pretty left.
Kennedy was not close to being Barack Obama.
But now the radicals control the Democratic Party,
which I think is going to lead to the demise of that party.
But I don't know if it's going to happen in November.
Last word.
Bill, in manufacturing delusion, I get into a couple of the tactics that are essential to both,
not just the totalitarian society when they have the gulags and they have the truncheons and the thugs,
but can be used in a propagandistic way to control people in a society like our own,
and it's confusion and degradation.
And when you see those, those are two traits, two very important things that experts have identified.
When you see the way that Democrats try to confuse issues as well as confuse their followers,
to degrade people by lying to their faces or forcing them to be a part of a lie, a whole range of issues,
this is sort of a self-reinforcing cycle where they can't self-correct.
And I think that's what you're identifying.
You say, what happened to the party of JFK?
It keeps getting worse because their strategies rely on lying to people, on living by lie.
And their goals are much different.
Their goals are to tear down traditional America,
where Kennedy was not close to that.
All right, Buck, the book is manufacturing delusion.
You can get it anywhere.
We really appreciate it.
Buck, thanks for having me on your radio program as well.
And we'll talk again soon.
Thank you.
Robert De Niro.
Now, this is a little bit more serious.
So he's unhinged.
Everybody knows that.
emotionally, he just can't accept that Donald Trump is president in the United States.
He goes on with Nicole Wallace on MS, and Ms. Wallace is not.
I don't know what she's doing there.
Not a journalist, doesn't care to be.
She used to be worked for Bush, the younger.
Now she's an ardent far leftist.
So De Niro goes on, and another unhinged interview,
says this go yeah it's up to the people you start start hearing it all over now it's up to
you're damn right it's about the people the people got like vietnam you got to get out there and
protest and no king's coming it's got to be not 7 8 9 million it's got to be way way more than
that what do you think it is about peaceful protests that drives trump out of his mind he's so triggered
when people are out there peacefully protesting against him who cares he's an idiot he's
He said, we got to get rid of him.
He's going to ruin the country.
Everything that this country has worked for represents.
He is ruining it.
And it's right before your eyes.
Now, he said the words, we got to get rid of him three times.
Any interviewer other than Nicole Wallace would have said, what do you mean by that?
He's elected.
77 million people voted for him.
What's we got to get rid of him?
Are you talking about impeachment?
What are you talking about?
Of course, Nicole Wallace doesn't do that.
So I'm watching this, and I'm ahead of the Secret Service.
USC, U.S. Code 871, it is a crime to threaten not only the president of the United States,
but the vice president and everybody else in succession.
That would be the Speaker of the House, on down.
The reason our law is there, because on the day that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated,
his Secretary of War, Stanton, his Secretary of State, all were designated for assassination.
Didn't happen.
Stanton got hurt, but across the board, and then it was, they said, whoa, it is a crime to even threaten
Any of those people.
And with Donald Trump and the assassination attempts, this goes way up.
Okay?
So I'm the Secret Service Director, and I'm seeing this three times.
We got to get rid of him.
I got agents pulling De Niro in for a Q&A.
And he better have a lawyer.
Now, you could charge him based upon
his answers to the interrogation.
If he takes the fifth,
I refuse the answer on the grounds right?
You could charge him.
And if he were convicted,
he'd get five years in prison under this coat.
But I'd make an example of this guy, De Niro.
And I wouldn't do it for vindictive or politics.
I wouldn't do that.
But enough's enough on the threats.
We got to get rid of him.
What are you talking about?
It's a serious situation.
Unlike the Gavin Newsom thing, which is ridiculous, this isn't.
Now, I understand, as I set it up, that De Niro is emotionally distraught.
I got it.
I don't care what he says, but I think he's threatening the president.
Now, I hope the Secret Service pull him in for a,
intensive interrogation. Now, if you believe I'm wrong, I want to hear from you. Bill at
Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, and on a newsome thing, too.
Smart life. This is an important smart life for everybody. So as you know, we have a concierge membership
on Bill O'Reilly.com. And if you join and you have a problem, you can directly send an email
me and I will try to help you and I have a staff full time that does this.
Inevitably, we get a lot of people, many senior citizens who are in situations they cannot
handle. For example, I got a letter this week from a 78-year-old woman whose husband dies
and she believes she's going to lose her house because her life insurance payments are being
denied. Okay. Now, each state is different as far as senior citizens are concerned. Her state,
California, very robust protections against anybody abusing senior citizens. So our advice to her was
you have to hire an attorney to tell you what your options are against this insurance company.
Remember, insurance companies are regulated by each state.
An attorney has to, you can, at 78 years old, do this.
You've got to bring in somebody and it'll cost you a little money, but not a lot.
And that person, that attorney, will lay out what your options are.
And not only that, we at billowryl.com, will talk to the lawyer with your permission.
We'll talk to him or her, whoever you use.
to decide to hire, okay, to make sure you are being protected. That's the service we offer.
About 60% of the time, we don't hear back from the concierge members when we give them advice.
Send us the name and contact number of the person abusing you, whether it's in a corporation,
a small business, whatever it may be. Send it to us.
so that we can track it.
And if you have to hire an attorney, which this woman absolutely does,
we'll talk to the person and make sure the attorney isn't hosing you.
60% of the time, and people just don't do it.
And the reason they don't do it is because they think we have some kind of magic wand here.
Now, we're powerful, and we resolve most of the,
problems that come our way. We resolve them. But we don't have a magic wand. You have to go
often into the legal area to protect yourself. So this to me, I am so surprised. The old adage is
the Lord helps those who help themselves. Smart life. You got us working for you, but you have to do
the legwork some of it yourself.
Mexico.
So they gunned down
the biggest cartel
leader over the weekend.
His name was Nemesio
Savantes, known as
El Mensio.
So they kill him.
He's 59 years old
and the Mexican
armed forces got him.
So the cartels immediately counterattack
and they burned down
Puerto Viorta.
which is the fourth largest tourist town in Mexico.
It shows you how powerful the cartels are.
Now, the reason they got El Mentiono was the CIA.
The American CIA pinpointed him to the Mexican authorities and say,
you get them or we'll get them.
That's what happened.
So Shinebaugh, the president of Mexico, we'll have to get them.
She didn't want to get them because this means war with the cartels.
She didn't want it.
Now remember, this guy, El Minchot, he was in charge of an outfit that was just smuggling droves of fentanyl and heroin and cocaine in here.
National security threat all day long.
So right now, 62 people, and that's probably a way low estimate, have been killed in this.
We are watching it very closely.
Smart life, money mistakes.
Now, I've been on this because, yes, cost of living is up.
There's no doubt about it.
From pre-COVID to now, substantially up.
And wages are up to.
Mortgage rates are down.
Gas prices are down.
So it's an ebb and a flow.
But if you're wasted money, you're getting hammered.
So an outfit called Credit Karma did a study and a thousand adults.
Here's what we waste money on.
Impulse buying leads the lead.
Okay?
So you walk in and you never go grocery shopping when you're hungry.
Never because you'll buy stuff you don't need.
And then the same thing in every sort.
they have little stuff at the counter. Yeah, I get that. I get it. No. Discipline. Keep to the list.
All right. So not saving enough money, 38%. It's Americans that were surveyed. Imposed buying 28.
Credit card debt, 21. Not caring enough about money. They don't pay attention. So it furties away.
Not saving for retirement. 14. That's a low number. I thought it'd be higher than that.
overspending due to pressure from friends or a partner.
Some people just love to spend money.
I'm the opposite.
My father was very parsimonious word of the day.
And I'll spend it if it's worth it.
And I'll give it.
But I rather give it away than spend it on myself.
Okay?
I indulge my children.
Not to any crazy extent.
They have to work.
But I rather.
the money away but anyway look you got to watch the money take it seriously smart life

this second, you hypocrite. So New York City. Final thought, just a brief one. Savannah Guthrie is
offering a million dollars for information about her mother. This is heartbreaking story. But going
on since January 31st. Nobody knows where the woman is. And now her daughter, Savannah, who I know,
a little bit, I was offering a million bucks and I wish it was something I could do.
You know, I really do.
I know the story's been overcovered to some degree, but, you know, it's mom.
