Well, the news cycle really heating up, I'm blaming it on climate change. You know, did you ever notice now whenever there's a storm or a fire or anything? The AP, the Associated Press, which usually reports on these things, it's always global warming. always no matter what it is could be an avalanche of snow it could be anything and i want to be cynical i do believe that you know the planet is changing um i think that that's happening we just don't know exactly why although i want a much cleaner situation as i'm sure you do as well but everybody's overheated and that is extending into the news cycle today the talking points memo is about the CNN debate upcoming on Thursday, June 27th. You know all about it, I'm sure. Okay, so you got Trump and

Biden. They're going to be on the stage. It's going to be in Atlanta. You've got to have Dana Bash and Jake Tapper to CNN people moderating it. Here are the rules just announcing both Trump and Biden agreed to these rules. 90-minute debate, two commercial breaks. Candidates will appear at their respective podiums. Okay, I would assume that. and the campaign staff will not be allowed to interact with the candidates, all right? So then the microphones will be muted until the candidate is designated to speak. So therefore, no one can interrupt, which is not really a great thing, but, you know, I think it'll help Trump because Trump is a tendency to interrupt every second.

All right, the candidates will not be permitted to have pre-written notes. or props. They can't have a pen and a paper and some water. Well, that's nice. No live audience. Now, I wrote a column yesterday called It's Debatable, predicting exactly what's going to happen in this debate. So I want you to read the column or, you know, download it. And then when a debate happens, and I'm 100% correct, you can send me a nice email saying, hey, Bill, how'd you do it? But here's a situation. Okay, so I'm getting all kinds of mail that Biden, is going to have an earpiece. I have an earpiece right now. He's not going to have an earpiece. Then I'm getting that he's going to know the questions ahead of time. He's not going to know

the questions ahead of time. Because if CNN does anything, all right, it's through. Remember, CNN is the lowest ratings as history now. They're right on the cliff. They can't do, they have to play it straight. Now, play it straight. They got two moderators who hate Trump. they hate her and you do his research tap her and bash and you'll see it there's no doubt about it so

I have a suggestion for Donald Trump now to be fair I should have a suggestion for Joe Biden but I don't because all he's going to do is memorize stuff and spit the memorization back if he can

the drama is will Joe remember what he's memorized okay so But Trump has an opportunity that he doesn't even know about. But I want to tell you, because I'm not in a business, to be helping political candidates. So if I'm Trump on the stage, and the thing evolves the way I believe it will, with Bash and Tapper, basically be asking questions about 9-11, about, not 9-11, about January 6th, about the election fraud,

this is where they're going to go. They're going to try to embarrass Trump, gotcha Trump. Going to go, oh, you said this, you said that, you said this, you're going to kill people, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, if I'm Trump, all I say is, look, I'm not even going to bother with that tonight. I want to give you my vision for the future and then give the vision for the future. Remember, they can't interrupt Trump. Then about halfway through the debate, if it's as softball as I think it will be, remember that CNN has to ask Biden about the border. But they don't have to follow up when Biden blames Trump for all the problems, which he

will do. So if I'm Trump, when they asked me a question about halfway through, I said, I'll answer that in a moment, but why don't you guys ask Joe Biden this? Boom. Trump should have five of those. Why don't you ask him this? I think people would like to know that. Now that puts to moderators in a terrible position if they don't ask it. Because everybody goes, yeah, how come they're not asking that? And I mean obvious questions. About the border, about inflation, about Ukraine, about Israel, whatever it may be. Okay?

If Trump does that, he wins that debate because he throws CNN into confusion. Let me recap again. You got to wait halfway through, and it's a problem. parent that Tapper and Bash are not going to try to pin Biden down. And Trump says, whatever's asked of him, I'll answer that in a moment, but I have a suggestion, he has to do it politely. Why don't you ask President Biden about this? And then every question hence, he throws one in.

Is that brilliant? Come on. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. If he does that, it's over. He wins. And that's a memo. All right. Joe Biden fundraiser controversy.

Now remember, he's wobbly, and I'd be wobbly. So he goes to Europe, and then he comes back, then he goes to Europe again, then he goes to L.A., I mean, the guy has got to be wobbly. But he goes to raise $28 million in a celebrity fundraiser in Los Angeles, and this happens. at the end of it. So roll a tape now. We'll take a look. So there is Biden and Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, standing there and waving at the crowd. And then all of a sudden, President Obama takes President Biden's wrist and leads him off the stage. Okay. So immediately, the anti-Biden forces say, hey, look at that. Obama had to pull him off the stage. Now, let's be fair about this.

It's a wide shot. We don't know. All right, exactly how that came. But it looks like on the hand to the wrist that Obama was taking him off the stage. Now, this comes after the Italian situation where you saw the tape where Biden was wandering away and then the New York Post and others said, look, he's wandering off the group, and the Italian president had to bring him back. Well, he was wandering for a reason, and the post didn't report that. He wanted to greet one of the flyers that did the overhead. Okay? That wasn't fair. This one, if I'm betting here, I'm betting that Obama let him off the stage.

But I could be wrong. Now, immediately, and I mean immediately, the anti-Biden people went into celebration, roll the tape. He is frozen, and Barack Obama grabs it by the arm, and then Biden snaps out of it. And then this is smart. Obama knows, you know, sort of pats him on the back and then just sort of walks him off stage and pretends they're having a conversation, which, of course, they're not. Well, how does he know they're not?

How would he possibly know they're not having a conversation? See, that's a kind of commentary. You've got to watch that. You really have to watch it. So the White House issued this statement. Quote, fresh up being fact-checked by at least six mainstream news organizations for lying about President Biden with cheap fakes. Rupert Murdoch's sad little super PAC, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting its readers and itself, once again by pretending the president taking in a plodding crowd for a few seconds. somehow wrong. Their ethical standards could be deal with a little unfreezing. Okay, the New York

Post has been Biden's main tormentor. There's no doubt about that, all right? But, you know, the White House has got the Democratic Party allied with NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN, all of them. Here's what was said on MSNBC. Go. Because they have to keep engaging in cheap fakes to try to make Joe Biden look bad. And they go to this weekend. They've done it over the past several weeks. They've got the New York Post doing it.

The R&C's doing it. All of these right-wing stooges on X are doing it. All right. I mean, come on, White House. You got most of the media. By the way, that program there, it's watched by less than a million people. I mean, it gets a lot of ink because the progressive left media promotes its own. They don't really matter.

But it's an interesting, my take is this. We here will only report what we know to be true. I don't know if Biden froze on that L.A. stage and had to be led off by Obama. It looks that way. But I don't know 100%. 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. Tharu, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford gold. And you can do this.

I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with one. Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world.

Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay, joining us now from London, England, Mike Baker. former CIA operative, he has starting a podcast called The President's Daily Brief on the First TV, which is one of our partners. You can watch us on the first. And Mr. Baker is starting this up. We'll get to that in a moment. I want to ask you about this terror threat, because obviously this is speculation. We can't nail anything down. But there's an article in Foreign Affairs Magazine. I just read it,

moments before coming on the air. It's by Graham Allison of Harvard, a brilliant foreign policy guy, and Mike Morel, the former assistant of the CIA, who you might know, do you know Morel? I know him, we're not friends, but we were there. But you know he is, okay. So the former assistant CIA director. And they basically say that this is the highest danger

right now that the United States has ever faced a terror attack since 9-11. And as I said, it makes perfect sense. The problem is the Biden administration is not going to sound a warning because it's their fault the border is open. Am I wrong? No, no. I mean, there's this, you can't, there's no other way to put this, right? Just look at the numbers, right? The statistics over the past three years during Biden's tenure and the millions that have come across. Look, it's a simple top, line issue. You can't have, and you pointed this out, you can't have national security, you can't have public security in our cities and towns across America if you don't know who's

coming across the border. That's just common sense. And yet the Biden administration essentially has a failing grade on doing their primary number one job, which is the protection of the U.S. citizens. So this is a serious problem. And Mike Morel and Graham Allison are echoing what we've been hearing now for some time from Christopher Ray over the FBI, from the CETCOM commander, General Carilla. It's, we have. There's no dissent. It's a hundred percent from the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and all the foreign policy experts that this is so dangerous, yet the president of the United States won't even address it. So my question then becomes, how could anybody vote for a man like this? I mean, even if you hate Trump, you think he's the worst president or the worst person in the world.

Joe Biden's putting your life in danger. Yeah, he's, again, he's, yeah, he's dropped the ball. And his administration has- Drop the ball, Mike. Yeah, it's far worse than that. Yeah, I mean, they know he gets an intel brief every day, Biden. Does he read it? I don't know whether he reads it.

But it's on his death. Everybody, every president treats those intel briefings differently. Right. He knows. He treated differently. Yeah. And he didn't comment at all on those arrests last week. Nothing.

He was too busy doing whatever he raising money. I mean, it is so appalling and so dangerous. Yeah. You can't look at what he's done and then expect him to come out and say, we have a security issue on the border. Right. Because it all comes back to him. So he, I understand he's not going to talk about it because he's created this mess. But I am glad that others are highlighting this problem. Now, you have to then follow

on, right? And you would assume that if you're aware that your problem is at this level, right, that your threat level is this heightened, that for some time now, we would have been taking additional steps. And that would have meant to secure the border, to engage in actual vetting. You've talked about the DACA. You've talked about the asylums. We have the mass parole program, we have the special countries, you know, we're still allowing people in. So despite his executive order, which was yeah, performative art,

there are a variety of workarounds that they have to allow more and more people. Yeah, everybody knows it to ruse. All you have to do is ask anybody in San Diego. Final question, you you've named your podcast, the President's Daily Brief. What does that mean?

Well, look, the President's Daily Brief, it's an actual thing, it goes into the White House. You alluded to it. Every morning, it lands on the president's desk. Some pay very close attention to it, some less so. But it's a very brief and concise look at the key issues, most of them international of the day. And so the president's daily brief podcast, which I've been fortunate enough to work on with the folks from First TV,

started up in September, and it hits on three or four of the key issues happening around the world of the day. We get in, we get out. it's 20 minutes in the morning, it's 10 minutes in the afternoon, and people can be, they can stay informed and then get on with their lives because everybody's busy trying to work and put food on the table and take care of their families. So we wanted a way to get the news out in a very sort of here's the facts. We don't try to tell them how to think about it. We say here's the facts, put a little context in it, and then we're out and, you know, Bob's your uncle.

All right. How do they get it, Mike? It's available on the all podcast platforms, Spotify, all the others that are out there. Any person who's used to podcasts, just go out, get President's Daily Brief. We have an extended weekend version that's actually got moving pictures and stereophonic sound. It's very exciting. And we record that, and we launch

that on First TV every Friday evening, and it's available on our YouTube channel at President's Daily Brief. And I appreciate you letting me bang on about this. I'm not used to really marketing something like this, but I think it's great. Listen, I want my audience to have as much information. is possible. And I mean, you're a very credible guy. So it would be worth

a while to go there. Mike Baker, thanks very much. We really appreciate it. We'll talk again soon. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast. Reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before.

remember he was Bill Clinton's consigliary, said something pretty startling. Go. Well, if I was a gambler, actually I am a gambler. Yeah. I take even money

that Trump doesn't show up. All right, I just think I... You don't think Trump's coming next week. I mean, I don't know, but if I was, I think he's going to wake up and decide. Just like he said, he was going to testify in his defense and his trial, if he even put on the defense. He's, let him show up. I wouldn't be shocked.

And I'm taking Carville's bet. All right. So I'm going to have my people call Carville and say, hey, how much you want to put on it? That's pretty crazy. Chicago, talk about crazy. So Chicago owes the second biggest amount of money of any American city. New York City is first. Chicago owes $40 billion, which you can never pay off, ever.

All right. And if you live in Cook County, you know you're getting pounded with taxes, they're going to go up. So the mayor, Brandon Johnson, radical left, George Soros guy, all right? He wants now for the city of Chicago to pay reparations, roll it. I stand hill today, proud to sign an executive order that creates the reparations task force to support the strategy, the implementation, and the engagement of Chicago black reparations agenda. he's already spent a half million dollars on this crazy thing, which will never happen, by the way, because it's unconstitutional. You can have as many things as you want,

but if somebody sues and says, you're depriving me who is in black, no matter what color you are, could be Native American, you could be from India, you could be a Hispanic, you could be white, whatever it may be, you can't be given tax money based on skin color for a historical evil.

But this is Chicago. Now, I'm going to make a very interesting point. I want you to remember this point. We understand, and I believe to be true, there are going to be massive demonstrations, violent demonstrations, at the Democratic Convention in Chicago, beginning August 9th. that these pro-Palestinian they call themselves demonstrators are going to mass in Chicago and cause a lot of trouble exactly what happened in 1968. Brandon Johnson has no clue how to control crowds or fight crime or do anything.

City of Chicago right now should be planning on how to counter those demonstrations or a lot of people are going to get hurt. Involved in his campaign is a very simple question. Will America evaporate slowly or quickly if one or the other are elected, Trump or Biden? That's what both sides are saying. Okay, so if you vote for Trump, you won't have a country, quote Donald Trump. If you vote for Biden, you won't have a country.

If you vote for Trump, you won't have democracy. That's what it is. So one person is following this is, I have said he's a better columnist than I am. I have said that publicly. His name is Victor Davis Hansen. You know him. He's got a new book out called The End of Everything, How Wars Descend into Annihilation. I'm reading the book.

I'm in a chapter with the ASTEPs, okay, because I'm a history guy, and I like all this stuff. So Professor Hansen, he teaches at Pepperdine, he's at the Hoover Institution, he's a busy guy but he's taking time out to join us now from Palo Alto, California. So number one about the book, I'm enjoying the book, but you know, this is a hardcore history book. So people should know that. It's not contemporized. But the message certainly is because a lot of people feel that the USA is in steep decline on a number of fronts. Do you believe that? I do. And I didn't write the book for that purpose. But once I looked at these examples, of Thebes and Carthage, and as you said, the Aztecs at Tenochtat and, of course, Constantinople.

There were certain themes, Bill, that once powerful states or nations were in decline and yet in denial, they felt that they were as robust as ever, that the enemy wouldn't dare attack them, that there would be allies on the horizon to save them, that even if they were attacked, the nature of their enemies were not, they weren't existential, they didn't want to destroy them. Who would want to do that? And yet, so when I finished, I wrote an epilogue and looked at various places around the world where there are bad actors like that, but more importantly, there are once powerful nations that don't reinvest in what once made them powerful, and yet they're in complete denial

about their vulnerability. And I think the United States fits that pretty well. But I think a lot of the voters are worried. I mean, my mail reflects that. I get thousands of letters, and it reflects that if Joe Biden, and I believe this myself, because I ought to be up front when I do my commentary, I believe another four years of Joe Biden will damage this country almost beyond repair. And I have a book coming out in September call confronting the presidents where we evaluate

every president, all 45, and where they help or hurt the country. Joe Biden has hurt the country so dramatically in three and a half years. He ranks up as his second worst president next to James Buchanan, the guy who totally booted the Civil War. Okay? So another four years of a Biden who cannot even function on a day-to-day basis. And if he dies or incapacitated, Kamala Harris, because she's not going to kick her off the ticket. All right? Then I'm saying to myself, it's over because there are no restraints then.

Biden's got some restraints now, which is why he issued the executive order on the border. He'll have none that. and so we'll have every front it'll be socialism that's what i think is in play here socialism do you see it the same way yeah i do i what's new about biden is that the border was always porous but it was never non-existent he's destroyed it as a as a concept and we we always had high crime spikes but we never had a period where crime was legitimized as sort of a critical legal theory or critical race theory that the oppressed had certain rights to take what wasn't theirs, for example. We've never borrowed a trillion dollars every 90 days. I mean, if he's to be elected at that

rate, we could borrow another 16 trillion. There is limits to that. And when we have all of this natural wealth and energy and food and people, and we're not utilizing it or we're utilizing it in a destructive way, I'm very worried about the military, 45,000 recruits short. And when you look at the people who are not joining Bill, they're the very demographic that died at double their numbers in Afghanistan and Iraq in the demographic. So they have done something, and we could get, I don't want to get into it, to alienate white males from the interior or the rural areas of America that traditionally were willing to go to god awful places to serve their country. And so there's a lot of things going on that are very, very dangerous. And I agree entirely. And you know this as well as

anybody, you saw the parallel with the Roman Empire that once the Romans could not recruit among Roman citizens and had to hire mercenaries, that was the beginning of the end of the empire. And now we don't have enough people to fill our military roles, whereas China and Russia are accelerating their military presence to a degree probably never be foreseen in their history. Now, Joe Biden, if you trace his past in the Senate, he was never a left-wing bomb thrower. Now he is. What happened? Well, I think there was a Faustian bargain made in that 2020 primary race where they had all of these extremists, Buttig, Corey, Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, et cetera, and they were all felt to be not competitive against Trump.

And so there was an idea that they were all, remember, almost in unison they dropped out, and the deal was that they knew that Joe Biden was cognitively challenged then, but he had a reputation of old Joe Biden from Scranton, and he would provide the proper veneer. But in exchange in that Faustian bargain, he was to outsource major appointments and even policy directives to the team that had been around Barack Obama. And I think that's what we got. He was supposed to be old Joe Biden from Scranton, and then we've got Susan Rice, the Obama's, Eric Holder,

and the foreign policy, Ben Rhodes, and all of those people who I think are directing the policy of the Biden administration. I think the bombers feel that they were the frontier, they were the pathbreakers into socialism, and they were restricted because they had to, they were the first people to be that radical, and now they feel a tinge of regret that we could have done so much more had we been more bold,

but now Biden is this empty vessel that offers us an opportunity, and that's what they're doing. All right, that's a good explanation, as they've heard. But remember, under eight years of Obama, he wasn't a bomb throwing far-left guy. He deported more migrants than any other president in history. He didn't open the border. He was weak in foreign policy.

There's no question about that. And then his economics, you know, the Obamacare, you can make an argument on both sides. But it wasn't, you know, a punitive time for the American worker. Now it is. Do you believe Biden made that Faustian bargain, as you put it, consciously? Or he's just so far out there. He just doesn't know from day to day what's happening. and he just does as he's instructed to do.

Which is it? I think it's the latter. I think his wife is playing sort of the Edith Wilson role and that she's got gatekeepers around him, but he was not aware of, I don't think he's aware of all at all of what he's saying or doing. I think you're right. Jill Biden is a villain, I think.

But in Afghanistan, no cognizant president would have done what he did. Barack Obama never would have done that. Never. In a million years, would he have abandoned all of those weapons, put Americans and Afghans who helped the USA at risk and turned over government to the Taliban. Barack Obama would not have done that.

No, but Joe Biden did. He did. And remember that as we left, we had the pride flag flying from the embassy. We had a gender studies program at the University of Kabul. We had George Floyd Murals. So we were culturally imperialistic, but we didn't have the military heft. So that we suffered from both being culturally arrogant and then militarily weak. But no, that was from the people around Joe Biden.

And he just signed off onto it. We've got a lot of radical people around him. I do think that Obama was very transparent when he once said, do you regret you didn't do things in which whoever liked a third term. And he famously said, well, you know, If I could just stay in my basement and phone it in without having to do the work, but I could phone in my directives, that would be an ideal third term. I think that was really something that we should have taken seriously,

because I think that's where we are now. Yeah, but if he wants a third term, all he's got to do is put Michelle out there, and Michelle would probably win. Now, on the other side, democracy on the ticket, Trump is a fascist, everybody's, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is going to be put in a camp. This is cartoonish stuff. But do you think that some of the folks buy it? I think they will.

I think when you look at these conspiracies theories or whatever they are, we forget they worked. I mean, Donald Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 as a result, probably of collusion. And none of those people were ever prosecuted that hired Christopher Steele, Perkins Co., GPS, D&C, that was illegal to hire a foreign national and then create that dossier. And the laptop people, when Anthony Blinken rounded up those 51 authorities and that empowered Joe Biden in the debate, and I think that had some bearing on the election.

None of those people have ever apologized. They've never admitted they lie to the American people. Anthony Blinken suffered no downside. So when I look at these conspiracy theories, they all seem to have had some utility. and it suggests to me that whether you call them October surprises or whatever, we're going to see a lot of them. You mentioned one, and I think there's going to be this narrative that Donald Trump is going to end democracy, he's going to put people in camps, they're going to have all sorts of frenzy.

I think another one is going to be that actually he's more debilitated than Joe Biden. He slurs his word. People in private meetings say that he's no more. Yeah, Trump does too much media. That's not going to right. I'd like to bring you back sometime this summer just to talk about your state, California. Right now, there's a movement in California, as you well know, to block referendums that are on the ballot, okay, on crime and taxes by the far, far left legislature in Sacramento and Governor Newsom. They want to stop the people from voting on crime safety and lower taxes.

unbelievable story that goes to the totalitarianism of the left, but I don't have time to do it tonight. But will you come back sometime this summer and chat with me about it? Because you know a lot about that. Absolutely, Bill. I'll be happy to. Okay. Thank you, Professor. Really, the book is the end of everything, how wars descend into annihilation. It does have a absolute linkage to what we are going through here today. Okay. So another terrible migrant story for you, Colorado. outside of Denver. Guy named Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, 47 years old. He's speeding, according to cops driving a truck.

He hits five other vehicles, there's Mendoza, killing one of the drivers, 64-year-old Scott Miller, seriously injuring at least one other driver. Okay, Cruz Mendoza did time for drug charges in Oregon, April 2002, okay, still in the country. You ready? 16 times, 16, he was either booted or left the country and came back, 16 times illegally. One six. Now, that's it. We don't have a border when a guy like this can come across it 16 times illegally.

Not only that. Initially, he was charged with a felony for killing, all right, another human being, but now it's been busted down to a misdemeanor, careless driving. This is Colorado that doesn't want to punish migrants no matter what they do. Now, that might be a bit unfair, but it's really bordering there. As you know, I worked in Denver for two years. It's a totally different city back then. Now it's a madhouse. A literal madhouse. Awful.

Chicago. The head of the Teachers Union there is a woman named Stacey Davis. She is a radical leftist. She goes on the radio, WBBM, very good affiliate, okay, and says this. Go. Conservatives don't even want black children to be able to read. Remember, saying conservatives are the conservatives who probably would have been championing black

codes, you know, during reconstruction or thereafter. So forgive me again if conservatives pushing back on educating immigrant children, black children who live in poverty, doesn't make my anxiety go up. So conservatives don't even want black children to be able to read, a question. according to the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. Okay. San Francisco is the worst run city in America, according to Wallet Hub. Not a shock, right?

We've been reporting on this for two years. Now, Wallet Hub compared 148 American cities. All right? Six categories, financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure. pollution. San Francisco is the worst because it's out of control. Radical leftist run the city.

I always encourage people to listen and watch the no-spin news with a pen and paper. Now, you concierge and premium members can get a transcript, so you don't have to do that. You can just ask and we'll send it to you. All right, this will save you money. Food. Through the roof, right? We'll have to eat. There is an app. I don't even know what an app is, but there is

One, too good to go app. Too good to go app. You get it in your app store or Google Play. This is an outfit out of Denmark. So you put your information and it tells you what restaurants in your area will sell you food for a very low price. Okay? Okay. So, too good to go is a place you can hunt for nearby restaurants, bakeries, or grocery stores that may have goods would otherwise end up as waste by the end of the day. Okay. Now, I didn't use end of the day as a cliche. That's what they say. So you go in there and you say, okay, the problem is that you don't know what you're getting. They give you a bag of food, but you don't know really what it is. I don't like to.

that. However, it's only between four and seven dollars. So if you get a steak or something good is well worth it, right? Now, I want some of you to do this because this is a smart life segment and tell me how it works. I'm not going to do it. I don't know an app from an ASP. ASP, it's a snake. I don't know. But you tell me if it works. Okay? Americans with poor diets falling. So 1999, half of us had a bad diet. Now 37%.

What's a bad diet? Sugar, all right, processed meat, saturated fat, salt, sodium. You're eating a lot of that, bad diet. What's a good diet? Fruits, vegetables, you know, whole grains, fish, shellfish, fish, nuts, seeds, legumes. I don't know what the difference between vegetable and legumes are, but I like the word legumes.

All right, so the more that eat, the healthy you are. Now, it is the key to good health. I wish I had learned this lesson when I was younger. I'm in pretty good shape now, and I really work at it. You know that. But if I had learned this lesson maybe 20 years ago, I'd be in better shape. And I would have eliminated some of the health problems

that I've had to deal with. And everybody has to deal with it. Because diet is it. They say diet and exercise, okay. But it's really diet. I mean, you've got to move it. You got to get out and do the power walks. But, all right.

So what I do now is this. Every day in the morning, I decide what I'm going to eat that day. And I base it on what I'm, I ate the day before. So if I had a Carvel ice cream, which I did last week, and the best ice cream on Earth, that's my first job was at Carvel, then I'm not going to have any ice cream this week. I know, but it's a lot of sugar.

And I put a little hot fudge on it, it was really good, but once every two weeks for that. So every morning I get up and I say, okay, I'm going to have this and I'm going to have this. and I balance it out. And if it's bad, like, I'll put a burger on a grill and some hot dogs. I'm partial of Nathan's. But once a week tops on that. Okay? So that's what you do.

You got to plan. You can't be driving into the window and they're throwing this greasy garbage in your front seat. No. It's going to shorten your life. Okay. it's the final thought of the day. Next week, we're going to have some debate experts on, and we contacted a man named Thomas Hollahan, Irish guy. It was a PhD. There he is. And he teaches at the University of Southern California, the Annaberg School. It's a big school. And he'd been

there a long time, decades. We said, hey, professor, you want to come on and just set up the debates and tell us how you think it's going to go down, give us some historical perspective. Here's what he wrote back to my producers. Quote, sorry, I'm not interested in lending credibility to this propaganda machine. I guess that's me. So I'm telling you this because this guy, Hollahan, talking about propaganda, all we wanted him to do is go over the history of the debates and how they've changed and all that. no ideology involved with this okay now this is what you have in almost every major college in

the country these far left cranks so you're paying an enormous amount of money the kids are or you are you're paying for your children's education you walk in a classroom and here's this guy and we ran him down he's a trump hater you know we know we know who he is but i wanted to tell you that because this is what you know there are ways look you don't want to come on the no spin news fine i don't care whether you come on out we got a better guest but be respectful all right oh that's just ridiculous that this guy is a pinhead uh i might send uh him we have a don't be a pinhead bumper sticker right i think i'm going to send him a don't be a pin it's too late he is a pinhead All right, I want you guys to have a nice weekend. It's hot. So cool off and have fun.

I don't know what I'm going to write about Sunday yet in my column. I got a lot of things kind of ruminating around, but I'll have a good one for you because it's, you know, debate week and we'll launch it well. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the no-spin news. We'll see you on Monday.
