With love from Italy.
By San Pellegrino Chau now.
I just mailchimp my marketing.

So I hope things are under control of your house.
Here I have a studio in my home.
It's kind of bedlam, I have to tell you.
It goes hour by hour, but there's just so many stuff,
so much stuff coming in.
You got to do this, got to do that, you got to mail this,
you got to mail that, you forget that.
You know how it is, all right?
And then I have to do radio and television this way.
which we're happy to do because there's a lot going on you know it slows down it's not
it's every day a lot of important things that you have to know about so you're going to begin
this evening with the collapsing media that is the talking points memo so i'm sure you have
heard that ab news ABC news has to pay Donald Trump 16 million dollars boy Trump was
be happy about that. Fifteen million goes to his upcoming presidential library, and a million goes
to legal fees, and Georgie Stepanopoulos has to pay some of that money out of his own pocket,
I think about a million dollars. Now, Stephanopoulos, as you know, is a Trump hater.
He's also the most famous person on ABC News. Good Morning America. He does a Sunday show.
but George would be getting a lot of trouble.
And I suspect he's not long for Disney.
I could be wrong about that.
I don't have any side information, but it looks shaky to me.
So let's run it down.
All right.
So on his program,
Stephanopoulos, basically he's talking about the E. Jean Carroll case
with Congresswoman Nancy M.
Mace. All right, that was on March 10th of this year. Roll the tape. You've endorsed Donald Trump
for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the
victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with a testimony we just saw?
Okay, it was not, Donald Trump was not found liable for rape. And it wasn't even close. And there were
lesser charges. And it's still being appealed. I think that whole thing is going to be overturned
on appeal myself because it was he said, she said, a very flimsy case, as many of them are.
But anyway, so Stephanopoulos goes, you found liable for rape.
That's big.
That wasn't true.
So Trump filed suit, as he should have, all right?
And then ABC had to submit Stepanopoulos for depositions this week.
Now, if Georgie had gone in there under oath, he would have had to explain all the inner workings of ABC News and Disney.
And they didn't want that.
And that's why they settled, $16 million.
It's the same thing that happened to Fox News.
Remember, Fox News lost $1 billion to the voting machine company because the voting machine companies lawyers.
We're taking depositions of all the Fox News hierarchy, and Fox News can't do that.
Now, you can make your own implications about Disney, about Fox.
I'm not going to tell you what they might have said.
That's crazy.
I don't know.
No idea.
But these big corporations don't want that stuff out.
So if some big corporation does something to you, keep that in mind.
Well, once the announcement was made on Friday, that ABC,
folded, which they did, and then paying Trump, then the far-left crazies on television went
crazy.
Go.
ABC made the calculated decision that, you know what, we're just going to pay.
George Stephanopoulos also has to pay.
He's on the hook for a million dollars of his own money.
And that leaves the rest of us with, what?
We want to be accurate, right?
No, you don't.
Wrong.
That's ridiculous.
Your whole network is propaganda from top to bottom.
You don't want to be accurate.
Couldn't care less about being accurate.
You're in business to hate conservative people to damage Republican politicians.
That's why you're on the air.
Come on.
I love that sound like it.
I just love it.
We want to be accurate.
Is there one person, I just won in this whole country who thinks,
as NBC wants to be accurate?
If so, send me their name, I'll get them on.
All right.
Now, this has been going on for 18 years,
this kind of sloppy, dishonest analysis.
And it's driven by the corporate media,
which used to restrain itself when allegations were made
against somebody like Donald Trump or anyone,
any American.
that there had to be something back it up, okay?
And you just couldn't make up stuff, but now you can't.
Just make stuff up.
But the tide is starting to turn a little bit.
So let me give you one of the worst examples that I've experienced in my career.
You remember in 2006, three Duke University lacrosse players were charged with forcible rape and a bunch of other stuff.
All right. What happened was these kids hired a stripper to come to a party. And the stripper then went to the authority and said, oh, they rape me. And they got arrested. The kids got arrested. All right. And you'll remember that there was hysteria in the media. And many people convicted those three students.
Well, now, just this week, December 12, okay, the woman who made the accusation in 2006 finally says it didn't happen.
Go.
I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong.
and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me
and made up a story that wasn't true
because I wanted validation from people and not from God.
Now, that woman is serving 18 years in the penitentiary
for murdering her boyfriend.
And she gave the interview out of that penitentiary.
Okay.
So you can see these three Duke students who were exonerated,
but the pain that their family and they,
how do you get over something like that?
Not easy.
When you're falsely accused,
stays with you your whole life,
never leaves.
Even if it turns out, okay, never leaves.
But I want to show you.
you this. So in 2007, we're still covering this Duke case. And I made this statement on the O'Reilly
Factor. Go. Talk about a rush to judgment. There's now strong evidence the accuser in the case
fabricated at least part of the story in charges of racism and sexism could be completely
bogus. So we called most of the professors who signed that ad, wanting to talk to them about it.
No one would step up. They all ran away. Okay. So we reported the story.
And I was skeptical, obviously, because accusations cannot be used as facts.
And I could name people who, but I'm not going to do that, all right.
But you know, you know.
So due process is a cornerstone of our nation.
The far left is try to destroy due process.
Me too.
Okay.
Time's up.
All of these heinous, I don't know, organizations you want to call them?
No, I couldn't care less.
If you settle something, then you're guilty.
If you're accused, you're guilty.
If you're implicated like you even know somebody, you're guilty.
Everybody's guilty.
Because they use it as a cudgel, a political cudgel.
But when their side gets accused, they don't say a word.
They don't say anything.
and everybody knows what the game is.
But I see a little turn.
And it's Trump that did it.
Trump was accused of so many things.
And he had a kangaroo court in Manhattan
convicted him of some stupid thing
in a Stormy Daniels case.
Everybody knows is bogus.
And that's one of the reasons he was re-elected
because people go, this is wrong.
Anyway, ABC News.
16 million light, Georgie out a million, and you keep your eye on Georgie this year.
That's a memo.
Donald Trump went to the Army Navy game Saturday.
Now, it's hard to construct this, but I believe what I'm going to tell you is dead on.
Might be off by a little, but I think it's correct.
So Trump's in a box, okay?
J.D. Vance is in a box with him, and then Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson is there,
Pete Hegseth is there, Elon Musk is there, Tulsi Gabbard is there, Daniel Penny, the guy acquitted in New York, okay, he's there, and a whole bunch of other people.
So we put a clock on it, and CBS, which was broadcasting the game, talked about the box for 10 seconds.
10
3-hour game
so if a Taylor Swift could have snuck in there
then it would have been about what
12 minutes
but CBS did that on purpose
I mean that's a news story
all those people in the box
watching the Army Navy game is a news story
it's a legitimate story to cover
don't give it 10 seconds
Biden could have gone to the game
He didn't go.
So Trump's at the game.
He's got all these people, including penny, and then give it 10 seconds.
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.

Excellent. All right. Real clear, politics is a website that gauges all the polls.
Trump's favorability is up. Forty-nine percent of Americans now think he's okay. Forty-seven don't
him. This is up from October 12th, two months. Back then it was 45 liked him, so 4% rise,
52 didn't, 5% decline. Joining us now is Dr. Simon Miles. He is an associate professor
of public policy at Duke University, a very smart guy in Foreign Affairs. He comes
to us from Durham. So, doctor, anything I said that doesn't sit well with you?
I think I'm a little bit more cautious on Vladimir Putin's need for a deal.
I understand what you're saying, but I think it's a little bit risky to assume that
Vladimir Putin is going to make the best, the smartest decision, because the smartest
decision for Vladimir Putin in this entire war would have been not to have started it in
the first place in February of 2022.
And so while you and I can lay out all the reasons why Vladimir Putin should come to the bargaining table,
it depends a lot on Vladimir Putin getting the picture as well.
And based on his comments, for example, about what's going on with the ruble, with interest rates,
and with inflation in Russia, I'm not sure how persuaded he is.
All right, but he wants to be friends with Trump.
Would you see that?
I think he likes to talk a big game and be sort of the international,
Maher, but let's not forget that Vladimir Putin is basically a professional liar.
Everything he says tends to be at least some percentage alive. Remember just a week before
he invaded Ukraine when he was telling the world that it was totally ridiculous that anyone
would ever suggest that the Russian Federation would invade Ukraine. So of course, he would
like a transactionally better deal. The question I think is whether Donald Trump is going to give
him all of the things which we know he's going to demand in exchange for any kind of improvement
on the situation in the ground in Ukraine or in the U.S.-Russia relationship in general.
Here's what I know about the framework of a proposed deal by the United States.
And you're right. I mean, we don't know if some tyrant like Putin is going to accept it,
but I think that the pressure that he's under now domestically and Russia will grow.
all right and Putin can't even come outside I'm sure you're aware of that professor he can't go in
he can't even walk out to red square I mean yesterday he never liked doing that oh whether he likes it or
not stay in hiding they had to build tunnels all throughout Moscow all right so he can go underground
and then get out to a place where he can take you know a special flight to his dock on the red on the
black sea he can't go anywhere because
they're afraid he's going to be assassinated.
I mean, he's not in good shape with the Russian people.
So that, he is a feral human being.
He senses.
He's got a sense that he's in danger, physical danger of being killed.
So the framework is, look, Vlad, ceasefire.
You stay where you are in Ukraine.
Ukrainians will stay where they are.
And then down the road, the people will vote,
whether they want to go with you or stay in Ukraine.
That's pretty much the framework.
Now, Putin's not going to admit to any reparations
and anything like that's pie in the sky.
He's not going to do that.
But I think given that, he would say to Trump,
because if he doesn't, Trump's going to up the sanctions.
You're going to make it more painful for Russia to operate.
I think that he'll get the deal.
Last word.
I think the challenge here is that you're envision
and most people are envisioning a land for peace deal,
Vladimir Putin does not need more land, okay?
He's got 11 times.
No, I know, but he just wants out.
He wants out now.
It's a cover to get out, so he's not humiliated.
As he said he wants out, this is the challenge to me.
He said, what he has said is that he wants to fundamentally transform the Ukrainian state
into basically being a Russian vassal.
And I'm not really sure where he can really sell to the Russian people, of whom, as you brightly said, he does need to be aware of their opinions and their reactions to what's going on.
So I think a land for peace type deal here, it's not clear to me that Vladimir Putin wants the land.
What he's said all along that he wants is fundamentally to break the Ukrainian state.
But the risk of a deal is just putting pause on that.
He's got to know it's not going to happen.
and he'll be punished more economically, just like Iran, very similar.
Okay, Professor, we really appreciate your point of view.
Say hello to everybody at Duke for me, and thanks again for helping us out.
Biden's pardons, his son, Hunter, who has been convicted, has he been convicted in the California case?
No, I play guilty.
Nine counts, federal counts, all right?
three misdemeanors and nine six misdemeanors and three felony taxes and then three felony gun charges
so that's that's a lot of stuff and Biden Hunter Biden could be sentenced to prison but they
won't be now because his father Joe Biden says he's pardoned and Hunter doesn't face any any
state charges so here's the statement from President Biden about the pardon quote
Today, I signed a pardon of my son Hunter.
For the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making.
I kept my word, even as I've watched my son being selectively an unfairly prosecuted, unquote.
Okay?
Well, it was not unfair because Hunter Biden broke the law.
Hunter Biden is a grifter.
So is James Biden, the president's brother.
And I'll go to say, in my opinion, Joe Biden's a grifter.
They all made money because Joe Biden.
Biden was vice president and before that senator.
Now, I don't know if you've done anything president
because all the stuff bubbled up fast.
But they're grifters, in my opinion.
They made millions and millions of dollars
off influence pedaling.
So the nerve of Joe Biden,
he's unfairly prosecuted.
He got off light Hunter Biden with this stuff.
Okay, that's number one.
Number two, Biden was adamant that he wasn't going to pardon his son.
Go.
And I know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution.
But let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict no matter what it is?
Yes.
And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
Yes.
No.
And on September 5th of the jury,
this year 24, I predicted this, go.
Should Hunter Biden be sentenced to prison, he could get 17 years.
I don't believe he will be, but if he is, he'll be pardoned by his father.
Yay, another one comes true.
It wasn't hard.
As I said from the very beginning, Joe Biden is a man of no seasons.
It doesn't believe in anything.
I can't see any belief that the man has.
He just floats.
So if it's convenient to say to ABC News, I'm not going to pardon my son.
That's what he's going to say.
If he goes to Antarctica for Thanksgiving and his wife and everybody else is going,
you better pardon Hunter.
That's what he's going to do.
All right.
You don't have any convictions.
But here's the most important part of the story.
Yes, the left and the right or all.
That's all you're going to hear in cable news.
Here's the most important part of the story.
Joe Biden is going down in history as the second worst president of all time.
And that's why I referenced confronting the presidents because I make that case in the book.
All right.
All of these things drag him down in the court of public opinion.
He will never.
It's very similar to Jimmy Carter.
Nobody defends Carter's presidency.
Nobody.
all right he was a failed president Biden's worse by a lot okay James Buchanan is the worst president
nobody's ever going to top him you want to know you're reconfronting and there were other bad
presidents on the par with Biden but not as bad as Biden because he created the problems
the open border was created by Biden all right and the fact that he's a grifter that Joe Biden is
of Gifton. Now, I get a lot of letters and say, oh, how come Biden has been prosecuted?
I know that because there isn't any evidence that the public or I have seen that would warrant that.
They have investigated his banking records. There's all kinds of suspicions. He refinances his
house a number of times. Why? Why would you do that? You got two lavish homes in Delaware's
refinance them all the time. There's no explanation for it.
But those are suspicions.
That's not hard evidence.
If I were Trump, I'd just let Biden go.
I wouldn't go after Biden.
And the final point I want to make is if I were Joe Biden,
I would have done the same thing.
Number one, I wouldn't have lied about it to David Muir.
Okay, I wouldn't have said, I'm not going to part my time.
I wouldn't have done it.
But when it came down to the last end of my tenure in the White House,
And if my son were facing 17 years in prison, federal prison, I'd have partnered.
I would.
And that's me as a human being.
Now, thank God my son would never do that.
All right?
If you look at Hunter Biden, my God.
But the other son, the late Bo Biden, was exemplary.

All right.
But by pardoning his son, Hunter,
Joe Biden drags his image even lower.
I mean, what else is this going to have?
I don't think anything else will happen.
So just get in his jammies for Christmas,
and then he's going to show up at the inauguration for Trump.
That's good.
At least he says he is, and I think he will.
But boy, in the history books, this guy is second worst.
There is an update on another very fascinating story that got totally out of control.
You will remember the accusation against Donald, against Joe Biden, sorry about that,
the accusation against Joe Biden, that he engineered a deal that enriched Hunter Biden,
all right and that it went through russia the guy that made that accusation was a fbi
informant named alexander schmirkov shmirnau i got to get my names right okay so there's a
sketch of the guy the guy's real shadowy and he told the fbii hey um the biden's got five
million bucks by going to a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma. How many times did you hear
Burisma noticed? And Hunter Biden got $5 million because his father, then vice president, put the
arm on Burisma to give them the money. You remember that you have to remember. It was all over
conservative media. All over. We never did it because I don't do stories based upon some
shadowy guy what he says. We just don't do that, which is why you're here listening and watching
me today. But it was crazy, and it was taken as fact. Well, now this guy, the former FBI
informant, Smirnov, has pled guilty to false derogatory information. And he agreed to
was sentenced between 48 and 72 months in a federal penitentiary, and that will be handed down
in Los Angeles on January 8th. The guy lied, made it up. Biden-Huntered. I guess they did benefit
from Ukraine, but not in the way he said. He lied. And it was reported as fact, but not by us.
And the guy deserves to go to jail.
Got to be very careful in this day and age.
I learned that lesson way, way back when I was doing a factor.
We made a mistake, one of the few we have ever made.
And it was because we didn't check out who gave the social media the report.
And I never made the mistake again.
We're cautious here.
All right, migrant war in San Diego.
Now, San Diego, one of my favorite American cities.
Beautiful climate, easy to get around, not like L.A., manageable.
Been there, I know, dozens of times.
But San Diego has changed.
So now the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has blocked three to one, voted three to one,
to block any cooperation with Homeland Security in getting criminal.
no migrants into the federal system.
So if you are undocumented, you commit a crime in San Diego, they will not tell Homeland
Security anything about you by a three to one vote.
The sheriff of San Diego says she isn't going to obey that law.
Kelly Martinez is her name, that she is going to cooperate with U.S.
Immigration and Customs, ICE.
And we invited the sheriff on the program, but for some reason she doesn't want to come on.
I don't know why you would reach millions of people, Sheriff, but she's not coming on.
Instead, we have a guy who knows a lot about San Diego.
His name is Mike Slater.
I've heard of him.
He's on the first.
He does my hard news portion on radio, syndicated radio all over the country, 300 stations.
and he joins us now from Nashville
where, interestingly enough, Slater moved
about a year ago from San Diego
where he had lived for 12 years.
Why'd you move, first of all, to Tennessee?
I don't know, maybe reasons like this, Bill?
Maybe they let illegal alien rapists
take sanctuary in the city that I called home,
that among other reasons.
My wife's awesome from Tennessee,
but you don't have to live in these progressive bastions.
So you moved to out.
of one of the nicest places climate-wise because you were fed up with the politics?
Oh, yeah. Listen, the weather is only so nice and the beach is only worth it for so long.
It's wonderful. Seasons are beautiful, wonderful things. We like snow. It's good. It's good for the soul.
And Nashville's a wonderful, beautiful place. It's good to be here with people who share your values.
Okay. Now, a lot of people have done what you've done. It moved to red stays from blue states.
But San Diego historically has not been San Francisco.
Because of the military bases, the Marines are down there,
and Navy's down there.
It was a conservative place up until recently.
Is that true?
Yeah.
So when I moved there 12 years ago,
San Diego was a bastion of conservatism in crazy, wacky California.
They had a Republican mayor, largest city in the country with a Republican mayor.
The city council was five to four Republican,
largest city council majority in the country,
and the county, the board of supervisors,
which population-wise, the county of San Diego,
3.3 million, is bigger than like 23 or 24 states.
So you have five county supervisors
who are in charge of a lot of people.
That was 5-0-Republican bill, 5-0.
Today, 9-0-Democrat City Council.
This just happened over a decade period.
9-0-Democrat City Council.
The wackiest mayor you can imagine,
If you have a minute, I'll tell you what I think is the craziest example of him.
And the Board of Supervisors, which just passed this super, super sanctuary city bill you were speaking of, is now three to two Democrat, very soon to be four to one.
So it is no longer a bastion of conservatism in any way.
Why did that happen?
Yeah, a couple, a couple of reasons.
People go back and they blame the loss of the aerospace industry in the 80s, which lost a lot of its conservative influence.
A lot of conservatives left for that reason.
there's more people there
so the military influence you spoke up
is not as prominent as it was before
price of housing has gone up so much
that a lot of the military people
who used to call San Diego home for years
and decades after their retirement
leaving the military, they've left.
So you don't have that legacy
of military experience anymore as well.
Then I believe you have a lot of people
coming from San Francisco and L.A.,
where, as you said, it's not nearly as nice
as San Diego, things are much cheaper,
easier, more manageable, as you said,
to come down to San Diego, see if that influx.
You also had a lot of illegal immigration.
And there's two, I read an interesting analysis before him,
that Texas attracts a certain type of immigrant,
Hispanic immigrants specifically,
and California is a magnet for a different type of Hispanic immigrant.
Right now, a third of Californians are on some form of government welfare.
Everyone may remember a story from a couple months ago,
where the Assembly voted to give $150,000 of a doubt,
down payment to a house to illegal aliens. Things like that attract a certain type of immigrant
versus maybe a Texas which attracts a more entrepreneurial and conservative-minded illegal immigrant
or immigrant as well. So over decades, I believe California is a bit of a lost cause. There's much was
made of the fact that 10 counties out of the 58 in California flipped from blue to red and people
saw that as very hopeful and exciting while I was in this grade. A new conservative renaissance
in California. Now, those were all inland California counties that have been historically read for a long
time. They should be read. And Tomola won California, 63 to 34. There is no conservative movement in
California. Well, even if there were, the big cities are going to dominate. Now, Tom Holman,
his job is basically to get tough on the border. He, this San Diego thing has caught his eye.

What do you, do you think that's possible that the feds could go in if they don't cooperate?
The county doesn't cooperate in telling Homeland Security, hey, we just took into custody.
So-and-so is here illegally for the charge of rape or a homicide, whatever it may be.
They're not even going to tell Homeland Security that.
And it seems to me that's interfering with the federal investigation because the Trump administration made quite clear these people have to be.
deported. It's always been very frustrating to me when you hear even congressmen say we need to
pass comprehensive immigration reform. No, no, no. All the laws are on the books. You just need to enforce
laws. And Tom Holman, I don't have it off the top of my head. I'm not the borders are, but he rattles
it off like U.S. Code, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we researched it. There's no doubt they don't
have to pass new laws, but they should. Tighten everything out. But anyway, what do you think the odds are
that the head of the San Diego Board of Supervisors
is going to be in Cuffs and charged with interfering
in a federal agency.
That would send the message to everybody.
Yeah, I think it's her,
and he's really focusing on the mayor of Chicago.
I think that would be his first target,
maybe a little less sympathetic.
Brandon Johnson.
Right.
Yeah, he's less sympathetic than Nora Vargas would be in California.
But if I may one thing, Bill,
I want to make sure that your listeners
don't think that the new sheriff of San Diego
who was just elected two years ago,
replaced a guy who was there for like 20 years,
that she's some sort of hero in this.
In California, there is no conservative influence.
So you have crazy Democrats and radical Democrats.
Pamela was a radical Democrat.
Nora Vargas, a radical Democrat.
This sheriff is just a crazy Democrat.
So while she's saying she's not going,
she's against the county decision
to tell ICE about illegal alien rapists
and child rapists, that's radical.
against that she's no hero though she's okay but maybe that's why she won't come on the program
maybe that's why she won't face me of course not she has no reason to the right doesn't exist to her
there is no common sense there's not i did not know that i'm glad you define that okay last question
so the mayor of san diego is what a moon oh yeah okay so there's a whole back story um
Todd Gloria is his name.
He was my favorite Todd Glory story.
When he was an assemblyman in California,
he passed a bill that said,
children in foster care will get free sex change surgeries,
paid for by the taxpayer if you are in foster care.
This was the beginning, him and another state senator, Scott Weiner,
another, which is total radical.
This was the beginning of a system of encouraging children
to talk to their school,
counselors to say lies to CPA to get their children into the foster care system in order to get
sex change operations. This is a Todd Gloria movement. It has happened many times before. There are
mothers who have told their story of how this has worked. That was Todd Glory in the assembly.
And the people of San Diego, what used to be this conservative bastion, Bill O'Reilly, beautiful
place, like the pinnacle of just California, Lovin and California. Everything is amazing.
They voted him to be mayor and they just voted for him to be reelected.
We've lost San Diego.
That's too bad. It really is.
Hey, Mike, Merry Christmas. Thanks for helping to sell.
We'll talk soon, okay?
Smart Life. You like these segments? I hope you do, because we like them.
So a bunch of people said if Trump's elected, they're going to leave the country.
Here is a partial list, famous people.
America Ferrara, Barbara Streisand, Christina Applegate.
Applegate. I'll miss Christina. I was on at Leno show with her. Very nice woman. Laverne
Cox, Cher, Sharon Stone, Mini Driver, Sophie Turner, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi. They're already
in England, and their house got flooded, and Lily Reinhardt, whoever that is, I don't even know who that is.
Anyway, they said, we're going. They're not going to go, okay? Although Ellen went and got flooded,
flooded out in the Cotswolds. I shouldn't be laughing. That's not funny. Anyway, I don't care
where they go or not. Although I said, I'm going to miss Christina. I think she's a nice woman.
Now, here are the top 10 cities from Mercer's quality of life. I don't know what Mercer's
quality of life is, but they put out the list. If you aren't American and you want to live
somewhere else, and if Kamala won, there would have been a lot of conservatives and right-wingers
going, I'm getting out of here. Right? All right here are the top 10 city. Zurich, Switzerland.
Vienna, Switzerland, Copenhagen, Denmark, Auckland, New Zealand, Amsterdam, Netherlands,
Frankfurt, and Vancouver, Tide, Bern, Switzerland, Ball, Switzerland. That's how you say it,
ball. Now, I've been to all of them except Auckland. So come back to me. Here you go.
Zurich, Switzerland, nice place to live. A little boring. Okay, big lake, too cold to swim.
But it's very affluent, under control.
Since they knocked out, they legalized hard drugs, total disaster, total disaster.
So they rescinded that like Oregon, and the town's back under control.
Vienna, Austria, boring town, beautiful town, beautiful.
I was there Christmas Eve, and they threw me out of St. Stephen's Church,
where the Vienna Boys Choirers, I got booted because they wanted money.
I couldn't afford it.
So on Christmas Eve, this Catholic boy in a foreign country got booted out of Steeves' church.
So I don't have fine memories of Vienna.
Geneva, Switzerland, one of the most picturesque towns.
A little boring, but if I had a choice between Zurich and Geneva, I'd go to Geneva.
Copenhagen, Denmark, no.
Freezing cold, nothing there.
No.
Food isn't great.
Auckland, have been. Amsterdam, unless you're a pothead, I don't know why you want to live in
Amsterdam. Freezing. I was there on New Year's Eve. It was crazy. Well, that big drug place.
You don't want to go there. Frankfurt, Germany, the worst. The worst. Munich is much better than
Franklin. Vancouver, Canada, drug place. You know, people all over the place. He wouldn't go there.
Switzerland, I could live in Switzerland.
If I had to get out of here, I'd probably go to Switzerland for six months and the Bahamas for six.
Anyway, if I'm deported, that's where you can find me.
Final thought of the day, my second job in broadcasting was at WFAA TV in Dallas, Texas.
First job was in Scranton, WNEP.
All right, that was 47 years ago, 1975.
Wait a minute, 1975, 25, 49 years ago.
No, you're kidding me.
Oh, God.
Anyway, roll the tape.
As you can see, the Christmas season has begun
in most department stores.
In about three weeks, the shopping crush will begin in earnest.
And along with all the shoppers will come the shoplifters.
Retail experts estimate over $3 million in merchandise
is stolen from the nation's stores daily,
and that one person in 10 is about two.
potential shoplifter. And never is shop theft worse than in the season of giving.
A little down, right? I could have been a little livelier. The hair, the night, the 70s.
So in January, I celebrate my 50th anniversary in the media. Oh, but Victor Garcia, who is our
ace internet guy, no escaping Victor, he'll find it. Ferreted that out. I was at North Park in Dallas.
Okay, I think it was Neiman Marcus.
I lived in Richardson, which was just north of Dallas.
And Dallas, you know, for a Yankee like me, that was an interesting experience.
49 years ago.
Oh, man.
Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpin News.
We'll see tomorrow.
