Highlights from O'Reilly's No Spin News - January 1, 2024
00:00Joe Biden doesn't work.The President of the United States does not work.I'm sorry, I give you his schedule every day,and I have come to the point where this man does not work.Everything is done for him, and he's running around now.every day collecting money for the Democrats in 2024.Not since Warren Harding, and trust me on this,not since President Harding, have we had a lazier president
00:47than Joe Biden?Okay?Now, Dwight Eisenhower wasn't exactly the Energizer Bunny in there in the 1950s,but he was far better on the job than Biden.Now, that is the truth.If you don't believe it, you don't want to believe it.I can back it up 50 different ways, okay?But it annoys me because we have so many problems in this country,
01:15and they're not being addressed.They're not being addressed at all.And he's the leader.Oh, it just drives me crazy.And now, Joe Biden is caught in a trap as Elvis Presley once sang.And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo.So, as you know, the progressive base that is the heart of Joe Biden's support in Americadespises Israel, always has.
01:51They believe Israel is a fascist country.The progressives hate the country of Israel.Here is the leader of the Progressive Party. Go.I do not believe we should be appropriating over $10 billion for the right-wing extremist Netanyahu governmentto continue its current military approach.what the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral.It is in violation of international lawand the United States should not be complicit in those actions.
02:36Now, that's absurd, insane,but that is the leader of the progressive movement in America,Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.And he is a big Biden supporter.So, if I'm interviewing Sanders, I go, well, you don't want Israel to destroy Hamas?Is that what you're telling me, Senator?You don't want Israel to destroy that terror group?The group that went in and killed innocent civilians, raped Jewish women, killed babies, you don't want Israel to do that?
03:15and then he gives you some gobbly gook about international law, blah, blah, blah, blah,but the truth is that Sanders doesn't want him to do it, doesn't want Israel to destroy Hamas,does he? No. So that's the progressive side. That's what you see on the college campuses. That'swhat you see in New York City where all these people are out there. Now, they call it anti-Semitic.Some of the progressives are anti-Semites.Bernie Sanders is a Jewish person by blood.But I don't think he's anti-Semitic.He just hates Israel.
04:00There is a fine line there.So Biden is beholden to those people.On the other side of the equation, Biden's operation, his moneyhis organization are primarily Jewish Americans who support Israel, some of them.All right, so this weekend, Biden's going to L.A., big dog and pony show, all right, big fundraiser.You can give the Biden re-election political action committee almost a million dollars.That's the ceiling.you can't give the money to Biden himself you can give it to the political action committee
04:47now going to be a big soire Friday night at the home of interior designer Michael Smith andhis boyfriend James Costos okay so the people who are going to be there formthe core of Biden's financial support.Here they are, Jeffrey Katzenberg,okay, Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin,Rob Reiner, David Geffen, Barbara Streisand,Jason Alexander, they're all Jewish, okay?So another guy, Reed Hastings, we haven't found out,
05:40He's of Austrian-Jewish descent.He's a Netflix guy, fabulously wealthy.Now, I don't know if all of them support Israel, but most of them do.They don't want Hamas to go unpunished.So here you have that crew, that's the money Biden crew,and Katzenberg is running his reelection campaign.Can you imagine a Hollywood mogul running election?That's what's happening.
06:09And then the Sanders crew that hates Israel.And there's Joe in the middle.That's why he's so wishy-washy.That's why he's, well, yeah,just vent him to sell, we usually send him money.But you don't want to do that.Don't do that.Don't do this.
06:26Don't do that.Meddling.Now Netanyahu, if he would tell the truth,and he can't because he needs American money,when you throwSanders, yeah, but Bidenright at the windowbecause it's not
06:44go get them.That's not what's happening.So there's, this is a fascinatingpolitical equation here.And you'll hear this nowhere elsebut on the no spin news.You're not going to hear this anywhere else.Now after I do it and say it,
07:03then you'll hear it.but it's fascinating. 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.

08:40Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.Okay, next week in the House, there is a possible impeachment inquiry vote.Inquiry is the key word. It's not a vote on impeachment. It's a vote to investigate.going forward on impeachment in order to bring more powerto the House committee's assembling informationabout Hunter and Joe and Jim Biden.That's what this is all about.And it will take every Republican,
09:21nearly everyone in the House, to vote for it,as Newt Gingrich explained, go.If you're a Republican,Do you really want to guarantee a primary opponent by voting against it, looking at it?This doesn't impeach him.This simply gives Congress additional power to force the White House to reveal documentsand to force people to come and testify.Okay, so I'm in the House.
09:49I vote for this.I vote for the impeachment inquiry.All right, I would.I'd vote for it if I were a Democrat in the House, but no Democrat will.because if you did, you'd be shunned from the party.Nobody would ever talk to you again.Republicans not quite as tight.You might get a couple of people, all right, that vote against it.
10:11I don't know.Now, if it were a straight impeachment vote, I would not vote for impeaching Joe Biden at this point.There's not enough.There's a lot.There is a lot.But keep in mind, the Senate will never convict him, ever.So at this point, why bother with impeachment if it's going to lose,and there isn't enough to convince the country and mass that Biden benefited from his son and brother's grifting?
10:46But there could be.That's what the investigation in the House is all about,because the Justice Department and the FBI will not do it.keep that in mind. The house shouldn't be having to do this. It should be the FBI. No, they're notgoing to do it. Okay. I'm laughing, but I'm crying on the inside. Now, the media, which has stillhas influence, not as much as it did, but still has it. Their full 100% cover for Biden,with the exception of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.and they're both owned by Murdoch, Cooper Murdo.
11:28Okay?Every other media, corporate media, is covering for Biden.Roll it.A recent NBC News poll showed 60% of votershave major or moderate concernsabout Biden's possible awarenessor involvement in the business dealings of his son.Despite the fact that even Republican members of Congress
11:47admit there is no evidence to suggestthe president did anything wrong.Republicans have spent months digging,including through Biden's,family bank records, and still no credible evidence of corruption or even really wrongdoingby Joe Biden.Yeah, there still is not the evidence.There are plenty of questions that Republicans have put forward, but no evidence and really
12:10not even clarity on what the charge they would be focused on here.Well, all three of those people, with all due respect, are not telling you the truth.There's plenty of evidence.it's not beyond a reasonable doubt evidencebut there's evidence all over the placeyou know the big headline of right wing media today waswell Hunter Biden wrote his father checksto cover a loan or whatever and it's not enough
12:38she's not enough but there's evidence therecertainly evidence that as vice presidentJoe Biden enabled his son to goall over the world and grift money.There's evidence.So those people are just not telling you the truth.You know that, I'm sure.So the problem then becomes,
13:01you've got 100% of the Democratic Party not caringand not going to ever do anything about Joe Biden,whatever he did.Okay?Not going to happen.And you had the media at the tune of 90%that are going to cover.for Biden as well. So it looks like he might get away with it because of the corruption of the
13:28media, which should be covering this story the way they covered Trump and Nixon. Boregate, right?No. So finally, the Department of Transportation, that's Pete Buttigieg, takes actionagainst an American air carrier. Southwest, fine them $140 million for last Christmas's meltdown.You know, when we were reporting last year, I told you you just fly at your own risk.JetBlue is horrible. Southwest is a debacle. You know, so now $140 million. It breaks downthis way. Southwest is to pay the U.S. government goes into the trade.treasury, 35 million in cash over three years. That's like 12 million a year. It's not going to hurtSouthwest, bottom line. Okay. So this is not what it means. Then the other 90 million is put into
14:26a fund anticipating other payments to passengers when Southwest screws up again, which it will.Look, I told you this from the jump. They don't have enough people because they don't pay decentsalaries, the airlines in America, so they're hiring people who can't do the job, who can't evenspeak English. You go to JFK in particular in New York, and half of the personnel cannot makethemselves clear using words. You don't know what they're saying. Now, I'm not casting aspersionson them. They're hardworking people. But they're not paying enough the airlines to get professionalpeople. The pilots and flight crews are good. It's safe to fly. But they don't have anybackup. So if a pilot gets sick, forget it. All right. And if there's any kind of delay,
15:27it spirals down. It's disorganized. They don't know what they're doing. And they don'tparticularly care, but maybe this will make them care. Here's what Buttigieg said, quote,this penalty should put all airlines on notice to take every possible step to ensure that a meltdownlike last December never happens again. All right, Pete, it took you three years plus. No,that's not a little less than three years because he got in with Biden on an inauguration day.A little less than three years to do anything. But you did it. And I'm having to do.happy you did it. Got to send a message. All right, so crime. A.H. Datalix. I don't, I've never heard of this.It's a firm that analyzes crime stats. I don't believe these stats. The FBI stats, I believe.
16:22All right, so it says murders in the USA down 13% as of December 7th, year to year.Still a lot of murders, but not nearly as bad as 2022.Okay.We don't have the exact number.The number they threw out, this analytics firm is not true.Just give an example.According to the FBI, in 2020, last stats we have, almost 22,000 Americans were murdered, okay, in 2020.And this analytics firm has $8,000.
17:01No, this is wrong.But there is a trend of crime dropping, and I'm not sure why.So we're going to look into it.We're going to wait for the FBI stats.But disorder in the nation cities is at an all-time high.So on November 13th of this year, at 2.30 in the afternoon, two NYPD officers,approached three men who were smoking marijuana and a subway station in the Bronx. A brawl ensued.I mean, we have it on table, show it to you now. Okay? So the three men attacked Officer John
17:39Hernandez and his partner, who name I don't have, and they hurt them. The officers werehurt. So they arrested two of the three assailants, Kareem McClary, 23, Isaiah Jessamy,years old. The other guy got away. They still haven't gotten them. They showed up at court yesterdaythese two assailants, a charge with second degree assault, and it's a top charge in New York,and their trial was put off until the end of January. Why? Why? But here's the rub about thisstory. So the police benevolent association, PBA, is supposed to be sticking up for the cops.and it's supposed to be raising awareness of how difficult police work is, and at this pointin New York City and other cities as well.
18:36The cops are in danger, physical danger, because the thugs know, even if they spit in a cop's faceor curse at the cop or push the cop, nothing much going to happen to them.As we see now, these guys are out in O'Bowell.Okay.So the president of the PBA in New York City is a man named Patrick Hendry.Okay, we've been trying to get him on his broadcast for a month.All right, he won't come on.Why?
19:06Why won't you come on and explain the terrible circumstances in which the NYPD have to operate?Why on earth?What are you doing?Patrick Hendry.Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of,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 talkabout, the juicy details in the world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in
19:34between. 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 AmazonMusic, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Power Politics.and the people behind the headlines.I'm Miranda Devine,New York Post columnistand the host of the brand new podcast,
20:00Podforce One.Every week I'll sit downfor candid conversationswith Washington's most powerful disruptors,lawmakers, newsmakers,and even the President of the United States.These are the leadersshaping the future of America and the world.
20:19Listen 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.So I looked around for a criminologist in this area, and we found a good one.Dr. John Eterno, he teaches at Malloy University on Long Island.He was a captain, retired a captain in YPED in 2004.he joins us now from Brockville Center.Damn I say your name right, Eterno, is that correct?
20:56Yeah, that's fine, Bill.Okay.All right, so you're on the job for 20 years.I mean, and in the time you were there, you saw the worst of it, the crack wars.And then you saw Giuliani and Bloomberg, two mayors, pretty much turn it aroundso that the bad guys were on the run.Now it's arc back to the bad.guys are ruling the streets. What is the essential problem in New York City as you see it?
21:28New York City has a number of problems. First, I think the mayor needs to get more behind thepolice. His rhetoric at times is backward. He needs to stand behind the police. Judges need to stand upbehind the police, but most of all, politicians. There are a number of things going on in New Yorkcity, one of them being the city council is passing a bill that they want police to record everysingle incident. This is just crazy. Every single thing. It's insane. Let me explain it, doctor.So the liberal city council in New York, any interaction that a police officer has with a civilian,police officer has got to go back to the precinct and write it up, which takes them off the street,NYPD is under manned as it is, and Mayor Adams, who's a former police officer himself,
22:25may even cut the force down from here to pay for the migrants.I mean, this is so insane.But when the police union won't stand up and say all of this crazy political stuffis putting our officers in danger, doctor, can you figure out why that man wouldn't do that?I don't know.I mean, you have to ask him, but in my view, this is something you really need to advertise.You've got to get on every program you possibly can and let people know how difficult the job being a police officer is, particularly in a democracy.The officers are the front line of democracy at work.
23:05This is what they do.And when they get attacked in a subway for something as minimal as smoking, it's something that's an affront to the public.just an affront to the officers themselves. This is an affront to democracy.You know, when officers in the street get attack like this, this is a...That's true because the last line of defense,the savages and the folks are the police.Did you feel in physical danger when you were on the job, Doctor?Absolutely. There were times where I've gone after people with guns, knives,
23:41people that spit at me. But today, it's very different.What I'm trying to say is politicians, at that point in time, at that point in time, you knew you get backed up by your union and most of the time by the police chiefs, right? Kelly and Bratt and these people.Right.100%.I knew all the time that the people behind me would back me up.I knew the union would stand behind me, and most of the politicians, I'm not going to say all of them, but most of them stood behind the police.particularly the state, many of these officers, something like bail reform, was just unconscionable.People wouldn't even think of that.
24:24And letting these two thugs get out on being released on their own recognizance, this is crazy.They are violent, and it's a problem not just for police, but for the public and being safe, just walking in the streets and walking in a subway, we don't have thatprotection that we should feel from our politicians, from our police leaders, from our unionleaders, we need that protection. We need that. It's a difficult job as it is. But not to havethat backing is unconscious. It is. It is. As a journalist, as a journalist who covered this cityfor decades, I've never seen this before. I've never seen a union president run and not stick upfor his guys. You can spit in the face of a police officer now in New York City. You cancurse it them, push them. Nothing. You would even be brought in for that. These guys wailed on the
25:29cops and beat them. And they were in for maybe three hours, no bail, out doing whatever they wantto do. So you got to feel, and this is the last question, the people on the job, the cops on the job,they know nobody has their back.Last word.Yeah, there is no doubt that police officers is the front line of democracy.Unfortunately, they have no choice.They're out there.It's a tough, tough job.
25:58And unfortunately, for them, they don't feel back.And they need to feel that backing of the public, of politicians, and of their own leaders.And it's not happening.And that's why they're all leaving en masse.Hey, Dr. Merry Christmas.Thanks for helping us out.We really appreciate it.Thank you. Merry Christmas, Bill.
26:13Right. Okay. Pew Research, pretty good outfit.1435 American teenagers about the social media stuff. Okay. How often do you use the internet?Computer or cell phone. 93% every day. And 46% almost constantly. Okay? That's a lot. Obviously we all know this.an urchin or you know they got this thing in their hand all time second question you have accessat home to a smartphone 95% do laptop desktop 90% now the importance of this study is maskedokay i'm not going to be around many of you won't be around in 25 years okay unless you know butProbably not, which is fine with me, by the way.Okay.
27:16In 25 years, this planet is going to be completely different than it is now.Not for the better because of the artificial intelligence and the high tech and the social media.So traditional ways to communicate, that's the first thing that's going to go.Speaking, I'm talking to you now, right to you.with words and gestures.I'm a real person.What I say to you is true as far as I can ascertain it.Gone.
27:54Big, big, profound changes coming, okay?And it has all to do with the internet and now AI.Here's one of the changes already here.A third of public school students in this country,15 million children chronically absent from school in the 21-22 term. Now, that's just comingoff COVID, be fair, but it has carried through. In New York State, almost a million studentsare chronically absent. In Florida, same number. Almost a million. Don't show up. California,two million. Texas, a million and a half. All this demonstrates is that parental guidance is
28:50evaporating. In my house, and I'm sure your house, 90% of my viewers and listeners, if we didn'tgo to school, that was trouble. Big trouble. Now, 15 million kids.In the United States, are chronically absent from school.Now, what's going to happen to those kids?Some of them will get out of it to learn to be plumbers or something where they're going to earn a living, but many of them won't.And they won't be able to compete because they can't read.They can't do math.They can't think.
29:29They can't speak.They're covered with tattoos.They use four-letter words every sentence.And that's not going to change.by the way. The corporate structure and how you make a living in this country, that's not going to change.You're still going to have to work. These people are not going to be able to do that.Big, big trouble. Coming. Now, if you are a parent and you are derelict and you're not paying attention to your children,okay, that is the lowest. That is so bad. You pay attention.
30:09at your kids and grandkids too.Harvard president's going to keep her job.Board of trustees said,ah, no, no, keeping clotting gay.Now, I don't care about clotting one way or the other.I'm not after her scalp.I don't care.All right, she is a devoted, progressive,
30:28woke person.She's everything that I'm not,but I don't care, one way or the other.Now, Harvard's keeping her for one primary reason.Unlike most universities, Harvard doesn't need any money.It's got, I think, a $700 billion endowment in a bank in investments.Doesn't need alumni money.I don't need anybody's money.
30:56Ever.And aside, the first president of Harvard was the top witch hunter in Salem.Do you know that?increase Mather, a revering, first president of Harvard.Harvard's first college in the USA.Increases, responsible for what happened in Salem, 20 human beings be hung.When I go to Cambridge, because I'm an alumnus, as you know, of Harvard, I kind of spread that around.Now, will Dr. Gay prosper as president of Harvard?
31:35She will not.The college's reputation has been besmirched.And remember, it got the lowest rating of any college in America for freedom of speech.Harvard, under Claudine Gay, finally on this woman.There are charges.They were listed in a Washington free beacon that she plagiarized her doctoral thesis.were leveled by a guy named Christopher Rufo and another guy Brunette.Rufo is what they call a point-of-view reporter.
32:12Now, I try to get him on this broadcast, but he can't be bothered.I don't like him, right, because I know what he does.He comes out with something in his mind, and he's going to prove it no matter what.And on this case, he's a conservative guy, Rufo.But he's not looking for the truth.as we mentioned earlier in the broadcast,they're not looking at what the real.He wants to slam Ms. Gay.
32:43Now, I don't know what she did or didn't do.She denies it that she plagiarized.So at the Boston Globe, she didn't do it.But she should be afforded due process.Fair?Harvard doesn't care.I mean, it doesn't.She checks the boxes.
33:00She's a black progressive woman.That's what Harvard wants.She pledged her rights.I don't care.Are we ever going to get to the bottom of it?I don't know.But I'm not going to convict her here.That's not fair.
33:13All right, Christmas, right?13 days away.I'm not listening to a holly-golly Christmas.I will not do it.You've got to have standards.Okay, I did listen to Chuck Barry.run, run reindeer today? And I love Chuck. It was great. No holly golly. Not doing it. Okay.Anyway, travel. Smart life. Listen to me. A hundred and four million drivers are going to be on a road
33:50in the next 13 days and pass that into New Year's week. Drive at night. Don't go during the day.Particularly if you live in a big city, I mean, you can't.You just can't.At night you can.Now you gotta check the weather, you gotta take a nap, you gotta be alert,you gotta have stops, rest stops, get some food, get some coffee, whatever it may be.But believe me, you will just save hours of frustration if you go at night.7.5 million are gonna be on an airplane.
34:28airplane. Okay. You have lost control of your life when you get to the airport. You haveno control. The only way to cope with this because there are going to be delays and some cancellationsis to bring a book that you like. Of course, the killing books are the best. You can get themon Kindle, an audio book, and a little earpiece you got a regular book.And if you don't want the killing books, get a book that interests you.Because that gives you something to look forward to when you're just sitting on your butt doing nothing.This is not going to cut it for two, three hours.It's not.
35:13All right, this is all right for a few minutes.And you have to basically lower your expectations to zero.But if you have a good book, if you have something to read, that will make the pain less.And we just want you to be safe, okay?Just be safe.And just look at the weather forecast, look at where you're going, and that kind of thing.But it's going to be the biggest travel in history coming up.All right, Disney raises prices in Disney World, Disneyland, poor kids can't go, Disney's progressive, but poor children.
35:56cannot go to Disney World or Disneyland. It's too expensive. I was going to do more on this.I'm not. It just shows you the rank. But you figured they'd have maybe one day where the pricewill be lower or if you book in advance. No, they don't care. All right, now we do smart life herealmost every day. It's one of our, I think, best segments because it helps you. It's designed tohelp you in your life, your loved ones, your friends, everybody. So earlier this year,late summer, early fall, stock market was imploding.People were panicking.Most Americans hold stock of some kind, 401Ks and education funds, whatever it may be.
36:41Most Americans have stocks.Stock market was going way down.A lot of people panicked and sold.Smart life, me, right, said this, go.Smart life.All right, we talked about this top program.So the stock market since August 1st is down about 2,500 points, 2,500 points.This is the Dow.
37:10Brutal.Why?Because of the political uncertainty.But if you sell, then you lose and you're not going to recoup.That's what I'm doing, not telling you to do that.But this is bad.And this is going to be another factor into the Biden re-election campaign.Bidenomics is a joke.
37:36But it's not a funny joke.There's a lot of people, particularly older people, their retirement funds are tied into the stock market.And we're getting killed here because we have an incompetent president.And a challenger, Mr. Trump, who is volatile.tile. So I told everybody not to sell. Don't sell. Hang on because as I quoted, if you sell,you lose, you cannot recoup. If you hang on and things reverse, which they have, you get yourmoney back. I hope you followed my advice because now the stock market is heading toward new highs.just a short period of time. I don't know why. I can't tell you why. And I know in January and February
38:33it might go down another 3,000 points because we have instability in this country. Poor leadership.We have a social civil war. But the market might go up another 3,000 points. No one can predict. No oneknows. So the prudent thing to do, smart life, your money, your future, your family. I have 22%of my portfolio in the stock market. No more that I'm not putting any more in. That's it.The rest are in municipal bonds, which are insured. I'm sure to get. Now, not making nearly as muchmoney is if I speculated and hit it. But I don't want to do that. I'm a conservative investor.I want my money to be protected. I don't put it under the bed. I don't think the banks aregoing to collapse. I don't think cryptocurrency is taken over. I don't believe any of that.
39:38I'm very cautious. And it's my age, too. I'm a younger man. I'm taking more chances.Smart life. So I hope you like the segment. We've designed ait for you. It's working very well. Okay, here's the final thought of the day. As you know,I'm a little roiled, little riled up about the incredible jump in pricing for food on Long Islandwhere I live. And it is brutal. Now, in my town, there is a luncheonette. We used to call it alunch in it. Yeah, but now they call it, I don't know, a diner, it's not a diner, it's a littledifferent than that. But it used to be, you go in there for breakfast or whatever, alwaysalways a little pricey because this is an affluent part of Long Island, but now it's full rack
40:43of ribs, $45. Now they give you $2,000.sides. Forty-five dollars. I don't know. Anyway, very high, very high. So I'm watching,and I like the folks in there. I mean, I got the delis are the same problem in this town.Everything's doubled, doubled. So I'm watching who's buying this stuff in thisluncheonette, all right, restaurant. It's kids. Kids. Kids.And they all have the debit card.So these stuff are a little bit old, but I think they're accurate for today.40% of American teenagers, ages 13 to 17, have a debit card.
41:32Okay?45% of those make a charge on a regular basis.These kids are in there with their debit cards, and they buy whatever they want to buy.It doesn't matter with the price.They don't even know the price.They're kids.They want a burger, fries, they want an ice cream, they want whatever they want.Mom and dad are paying for it.
41:57They're not.They got the debit card.Now I'm going, it's clicking into me, okay?Because this place is full of urchins, and they're ordering big.They're getting the ribs, they're ordering big.And I'm going, okay, so that's what this is about.There's no spending control on this demographic.If you have a debit card in your 17 and a high school, junior, or senior,
42:28you're going, and you're getting whatever you want.Okay, and it's that.Well, maybe I should get this or we'll get that or that.No.And the merchants are taking advantage of that.They don't need old fogies like me in there going, what's this?You know, what do you mean, $14 for a tuna sandwich?Come on.
42:47They don't need that.What they want are the kids who go, I want the tuna sandwich.Would you like lettuce and tomato on that?We'll jack in another couple of bucks.Oh, yeah, yeah.How about some fries?That's seven bucks.Yeah, fries.
43:02And they give them the debit card.And the kid just goes right out the door, right home.And then mom and dad, there they are.They're paying it.That's what's happening.That's what's happening.Now, these urchins are going to have a really,really rude awakening when they get out of there and have to pay their own debit card.
43:24Final thing I know, final thought I want to make.My kids had the debit card.They almost have to today, okay?But I'm on the card and I look and see what everything is.So at the end of the month, there's a little chat.And also, my kids have to work.They work.Not in this, my daughter's working in the school year.
43:53She's a really hard worker.My son works in the summer, but he works.This is not some easy job.He goes and he earns very good money out on Eastern Long Island.And then their account is tied into their debit account.So they have restraints.the way of set it up. So you're okay. You want to be, treat all your friends to ice creamsodas. You've got four friends. You're all buying ice cream sodas. That's going to come out to
44:27about 50 bucks. All right. All said and done. So you want to do it. Okay, but you're payingfor it. And then you know how hard you've got to work for the money. That's the way to do this.Now, in the presidential election, I am convinced the main issue will not be abortion or any of this other stuff.We're not going to be Hamas, Israel.It's not going to be Putin, Ukraine.It's going to be the grocery store.It's going to be the local restaurant because it's shocking in the space of three years how much all of that has gone up.If you disagree, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.
