This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chau. A new kind of flavor of sparkling water. The kind made with real fruit juice, a pinch of Sicilian salt, and the sparkle of the Italian sun. With no added sugar and just 10 or less calories per can, enjoy. With love from Italy. By San Pellegrino Chau now. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from MintMobil. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you.

that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. A brunt payment of $45 for three-month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. New customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy.

Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com. A robust two-party system is really vital for America. And a lot of people don't believe that. They want their party or their ideology to dominate. And the others are devils and should be shunted aside or whatever. That's not a good thing, all right? because if you have a blend of beliefs, you can then out of different points of view,

maybe come up with a new and improved point of view by listening to the other side and incorporating good ideas that both sides may have. Too many Americans are what I call exclusionary. They do not respect dissenting points of view from their own. And we see that as now an industry on television news, that these agencies, as I've said over and over, and I'm sorry to be repetitive, are now targeting people's belief systems, not reporting the truth.

It's easy to make money that way. That's what they are doing. Now, one political party in this country, there are only two Republican and Democrat, they're minor ones, but it would take billions of dollars. And I mean maybe $10 billion to really get a third party up and running. So the one political party that's established has fallen apart, and that would be the Democratic Party, absolutely evaporating before our eyes. What an interesting historical time that is the subject of this evening's talking points.

Memo, let me back it up. Not since the presidency of Jimmy Carter has the Democratic Party been so weak. A controversial man like Donald Trump sweeps into office, not because so many Americans. Americans love Donald Trump, the MAGA people do, but because Joe Biden and the Democratic Party were a disaster. Biden's second worst president in our history. I document that in confronting the presidents. So a new poll by the Associated Press, 1,175 adults, the sample is fair. A question, do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the Democratic Party? Favorable 36%, unfavorable 55. Are you kidding me? That is a disaster. Now, this week, with Donald Trump

having some success economically in the Gulf and the stock market coming back to where it was before Liberation Day, the Republicans have regained some momentum. And the Democrats are don't know how to counter that. I think that's an accurate statement. But even worse is now that the administration of President Biden is begin to be exposed. And all of these books are coming out saying that the Democratic Party knew Biden was challenged mentally. His acuity was declining. They lied about it. So did the media that props them up.

Everyone was lying. Now, the most powerful Democrat in a country right now, is Senator Charles Schumer. Roll the tape. I'm interested to know whether the man that you saw sitting there on that couch, on that day, you were in there, you saw him up close and personal. Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term? Casey, we're looking forward.

We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us. We have the coal federal government at risk. You're facing all of this because you lost a presidential election. And is that not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again? We're looking forward. That's it? That's it.

All right. That's embarrassing. Right? That's embarrassing. We lied about it. Our entire party did, but now we're not going to talk about it. Why we lie to the American people? I mean, that's really, that's one of the worst sound bites I've ever seen.

Okay, so enter the media, which propped up Joe Biden, and the question they did, because they hated Donald Trump. Now, there's a book coming out by CNN's Jake Tapper, who was one of the proper uppers. Nate's Trump, okay, and used his position at CNN to put Biden in a favorable light. Now he's got a book, said, oh, no, oh, no, no, Biden was compromised. Okay, Jake. I mean, who would buy this book? So let me give you two examples of what Tapper did in the past. First one is September 8th, 2023.

Go. Right, he's sharp physically. I mean, mentally. Yeah. I think the question is physically, right? Right. Or so. Right.

Well, and then how do we ask that question? So everybody slows down as they age. And he maybe doesn't have the stamina to do the type of public. appearances he would have done when he was 70 or 60, but does that mean that he doesn't have the stamina to do the job? I mean, I don't think there's like a simple answer to these questions. I assume you think he's sympathetic and well-meaning. He's 81, and his memory, you know, it doesn't seem great. It's not horrible, but I don't understand the outrage. He doesn't understand the outrage. Okay. And so then Biden gets exposed and the Democrat

Let's lose and then Tapper writes a book saying, yeah, it was a cover up, but not Tapper. Although he did, to be fair, say something today about, well, maybe I could have done a better job. Yeah, maybe. Boy, boy. All right, finally, the Democratic Party continues to do what got it in trouble. Push propaganda. Now I'll give you two. Okay? So this gutter playing controversy is the media is pushing this and the Democrats are on board. This is terrible.

Trump shouldn't take the plane. And one of the reasons that the Democrats say Trump should not take the plane is because gutter supports terrorists, Hamas in particular. Well, that's not true at this point in history. Roll of tape. If you know what's happening over there and I do, All of those Gulf states are pumping in billions of dollars to the quote-unquote anti-terrorism programs. All of them. Now, last night on News Nation, I had to chastise our pal Leland Vitterd who told me that Hamas is still living in Gutter. That's not true. Okay, there's not one big Hamas guy in Gutter, not one, okay? So all of this media stuff that comes out and people believe it, it's just not true.

Now, how did the Democratic Party and the media, some of they get a hold of Hamas's living and being harbored in Gutter? They did that because Gutter allowed Hamas big shots to negotiate the hostage release with American and Israeli diplomats in Gutter. That's how Hamas got there. Here's the foreign minister. Go. But what I can tell you very clearly is that the office of Hamas and Doha was created for the sake of the mediation process. Obviously, when there is no mediation process, the office itself doesn't have any function. All right, so that because Gutter allowed the negotiation to take place, Hamas representatives came, and that's how the media and the Democratic Party threw that in Trump's face. Oh, no, they're fostering terrorists over in gutter.

Now, I don't trust any of those Gulf states. None of them. I don't trust Saudi Arabia. I don't trust Emirates. I don't trust gutter. I mean, to me, they turn on us like that. But right now, they like Trump because Trump is going to dismantle Iran. And they are pumping billions of dollars into helping the United States neutralize Iran.

And that, of course, helps Israel. That's what's happening. You would never know that. Listening and reading to the U.S. media. Second example, and this is even worse. Okay, the big Medicaid cuts. You're going to hear this 10,000 times. Oh, I'm getting Medicaid.

Oh, ladies are going to be thrown out on the street. Babies aren't going to get Medicare. Okay. Here are the facts. You want to ready for the facts. In the past 10 years, Medicaid, which is money provided by the states for poor people to have health problems confronted and children's health insurance. The past 10 years, it has increased 13%. In the last 10 years, federal spending on Medicaid has increased $117 billion.

That's a lot of money. The Republicans in their budget bill want to cut $880 billion over a 10-year period, 10 years. That's $88 billion a year, okay, out of the existing system by inserting a responsibility clause called community engagement. They're not cutting the program so that old ladies and unwed mothers get thrown. own off. They're saying that if you are going to get free health care, that includes some portions of Obamacare, that you have to work. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team

are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home. New episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful, Disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. If you can find a job and if you can, you have to look for a job. And if you can't get a job, you have to do community service. Now, who opposes that?

Not for women with young babies, they can't do that. But it's for primarily young men who can work and some women, single women, who can work. Do you oppose that? Who, what American would oppose that? So the layabouts and the drug addicts are supposed to get free medical care and they don't even care about getting a job? That's what this is all about. But you'd never know it by listening to the Democratic Party. Roll it.

Let's be clear. This is not a health care reform plan to improve our health care system or lower costs for families and patients. Nope, Republicans are looking to dismantle the basic. Medicaid program to help tax cuts for billionaires. And this is all being done in service of trying to provide a massive tax break to MAGA billionaire donors like Elon Musk. Okay, so if you want to believe the Republican Party wants to reform Medicare in the sense of asking for people to look for work or do community service because they want to help

Elon Musk make more money, then you're a knit way. it, beyond a netwit. You're a moron if you believe that. But that's what the Democratic Party is peddling. Okay? So when you add it all up, when you see the massive distortions and what they have and what they're grabbing onto, instead of saying, yeah, I'd like to reform Medicaid too, we should have a community engagement there so that the taxpayers aren't ripped off. We're for that. They're not for it. They're not for it at all. They want a massive thing. Now, let's get to the tax cuts for the rich. So you just heard Congressman Jeffrey is the Speaker of the House say.

All right, there are no new personal income tax cuts in the proposed bill. It's simply an extension on the personal front of what Trump passed in 2017. Because his 2017 tax bill runs out this year. That's all. it's not slashing my income tax rate, I stay the same, and I'm paying a lot of money to federal estate, a lot big. Okay? Now, there are some provisions in the bill that raise deductions for estate taxes because

so many farmers are losing their land because they're. can't pay the estate taxes. They're too high. So the Republicans are raising now and I want to raise that estate tax. That's true. Do you oppose that? Remember, a state, you already pay tax on that money. And there is some help for business. And it's complicated. But there's no personal tax cuts for the rich. But that's all you hear. Go. to throw over 13 million people off of Medicaid in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich. They're doing this for tax cuts for the rich. They're doing that for tax cuts for the rich.

If you actually take away tax cuts for the rich, what is a punchline for the democratic argument? They don't want people focused on their economic needs. They're not interested in tax cuts for the rich. I think that if the Democrats are going to be aligned on one thing, it is not extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich. We got beat up for, I think, unfairly calling the tax law, the tax cuts for the rich. All right. So the Democratic Party, to sum this talking points memo up, and I'm sorry it was so long, is, okay, they don't want any reform for Medicaid.

They want anybody to get it, and you don't have to look for a job, you don't do community service. There's no personal income tax cut yet they say there is over and over and over and over because the Republicans want to give more money to Elon Musk. Okay. There's no Hamas presence in gutter to speak of, okay? But they say there is, and that's why Trump is betraying the nation by considering taking the plane. How much more it is can we absorb? And that's the memo. Okay, overseas. So a big deal. Moscow, a victory day parade marking 80 years since the Allied forces in the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany. So, President Xi, who's 71 years old, is visiting President Putin, who's 72 years old, for four days. Whoa! I'm telling you, I've been to Russia. Four days a long time. Not a lot to do.

I don't know what they're going to do for four days. Plan, plot, be devious. I have no idea. But anyway, they're there, and there'd be parade, and, and all that. Okay, we'll get to that in a moment. I don't know why, what they're going to do. I don't know.

I wish I did know, but I don't. Some good news, as I mentioned, the top of the program, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and other American economists are meeting with the Chinese in Geneva, nice town, Geneva, Switzerland. Beautiful.

This weekend, May 9th to 12th, and they're talking about averting a trade war, which President Trump thinks will happen. They're going to invert it. Okay. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. It's my job to report to you what I learned. Joining us now from Washington, Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to Donald

Trump on his first term. Now we're to the Heritage Foundation, Vice President of National Security. Boy, that's an impressive resume you got. Here, Ms. Coates, very good. So, look, I don't know what she and Putin want. Do you know what they want? Well, good to be with you, Bill. And if you throw the Ph.D., in Italian Renaissance art history on my resume,

then you really have quite the confection going on. I think we see what's going on with Putin and G. really over the last three years playing out in real time. And as I look back at this, this is one of the big geopolitical changes that President Trump confronts now that is very different from what we had in 2017 to 2021. Because this all came about after the fall of Afghanistan,

I think both Xi and Putin realized they had real weakness in the White House and that they could explore what they call their partnership with No Without Limits. And that was instigated, I think, in Beijing just weeks before the tanks, rolled into Ukraine. No coincidence there. And they are trying to set up a poll that will be in competition with the United States and ultimately, in their minds, defeat the United States and our

allies. So it's not a natural partnership. They have not historically liked each other. Russia and China particularly well. It's something we've been able to split apart in the past. But right now, they have a huge vested, both military and economic mutual interests that they have built over these years. I'm really concerned, going forward, that it's not just going to be them, but there are two other sort of junior partners around in North Korea, creating a lot of trouble for the United States. All right. When you say defeat the United States, they're not going to defeat the United States militarily.

If there is a war, then it will be mutual destruction. Everyone will die. Economically, Russia is a third world country when it comes to economics. They have no consumer power at all. China can't send it stuff into Russia, they're going to make any money. They have to deal with the United States if they want to keep their economy afloat. So I don't understand why Xi and Putin, two tyrants, totalitarians, they want to defeat the United States. How? How would they do that?

Well, I think they saw a much straighter path towards that in the previous administration. And in terms of goods, the way they're setting that up right now, Bill, is. is Russians have to, with the revenues that China gives them for natural resources, the Russians have to buy Chinese goods. So their imports of Chinese goods have gone to the historic level. Yeah, but it's all energy stuff. It's not stuff made. They're not buying the hats, the shirts, the sneaks. There's no disposable income. And plus, the Chinese don't want rubles. No. Victoria. They want oil and gas. And so what they're doing is forcing the Russians to purchase their stuff for the oil and gas. It's almost like a barter arrangement. Now, I agree with you.

We are currently dominant in a lot of areas. We are very concerned at the Heritage Foundation, however, about the historic military buildup that's going on in China. It dwarfs a number of things that are going on or historically in terms of military buildup. That's why the president's budget is so important because he is talking about both reducing the waste and bloat and unnecessary activities in our DOD, but investing in the kind of things that China is. That didn't happen under President Biden. And it's now starting to happen under President Trump. And we look forward to working closely with Congress to help him implement that. But that is necessary work. Because if we stay on the trajectory that we're on, I mean, China has a bigger Navy than we do at this

point. That's a fact. But again, yeah, I get that and I understand that. And I know the threat to Taiwan, and I'm going to China in three weeks, and I see what they're doing with the military, but again, with the weaponry that is in play now, it's not about the infantry or the Navy any longer. You can blow these ships right out of the ocean with the high-tech weaponry that we have. So I guess it's an intimidation thing. Let me ask you one more question based on history. It used to be that Mao Zizong and the Soviet leaders wanted to take over the world and make everybody communist, okay? Well, Russia's not even communist anymore. It's more totalitarian fascist than communists, although they don't respect private property.

China hardcore communist, is that still in play? Do they still want to make everybody communist? Well, I want to talk to you when you get back from your trip. That sounds fascinating. But I think in this case, you're seeing more of a marriage of convenience rather than a likeness between these two countries. I agree with you. There's no cultural bond at all. And they cut each other's throats if they had to.

But the end game is what I am still not. And when I go, I'm supposedly going to give an address to she's guys at the Beijing Club. Have you ever been to the Beijing? I didn't even know that it was a Beijing globe. Maybe I'll play a little racquetball before I give my speech. But I'm going to try to find out what, you know, they're not going to tell me the truth. I understand that. But I'm not seeing, you know, I understood what Hitler wanted.

I understood what the Stalin wanted. Mao. I got it all. I knew what Ho Chi Minh wanted. I don't know what she wants. It seems that China could improve itself domestically, and I know he doesn't care about his own people, if they would just calm it all down. And Putin into Ukraine? For what? For what? That does you no good at all. I'll give you the last word. Well, I think it doesn't from our

perspective. I think from Xi's perspective, it's a distraction for the United States, something that's not really in our vital national security interests, but into which we've poured. a ton of money and material over the last three years. So I think he's fine with that. I think this is more of a death of a thousand cuts kind of thing for the United States and reducing our influence to expand theirs. That's again why this tariff situation. Yeah, but for economics, for power, you know, you know where I'm going with this. It's just not clearly defined. But we appreciate your point of view. And I will talk to you when I get back in China. If I'm not in gulag somewhere.

We'll come get you out. Thank you. I appreciate that, Victoria, very nice. And thanks for talking to us today. All right, India, Pakistan. It's going on since 700 AD. Okay, Indian, Pakistan have hated each other since 700 AD. And it wasn't even Indian and Pakistan then.

It was Hindu, India, Muslim, Pakistan. They hate each other. It's like the Jews and the Arabs, it'll never end. So a few weeks ago, the jihadists attacked a hotel. Excuse me. This is allergy stuff. My cat Freddy loves to be brushed and cuddled. But stirring up his cat allergens meant sneezing and itchy eyes.

Then I found Purina one live clear. It's cat food that reduced the major allergen and my suffering in as little as 21 days. Now, we feel closer than ever. If you have issues with cat allergens, you really need to try Purina 1 Live Clear. Try new Purina 1 Live Clear today. Purina 1, a difference from day one. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about.

The juicy details in the world's politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy. show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Giotis attacked a hotel in Kashmir, northern part of India and Pakistan, and they killed murdered 28 Indians for no reason at all. So India is mad, and it's throwing some missiles into Pakistan, and they're throwing back. Now the press of course is, oh, two nuclear nations or look, you pinheads. I know you don't know anything out there, network news people. I understand you don't know anything.

If you are a nuclear nation next to another nuclear nation and you drop or use a nuclear bomb, your own people will die. Okay, do you understand now? So you look at the map. Anyway, flare-ups happen every year or so. Don't know what's going to come out. We're following it. Back home. Attorney General Pamboni, Bondi announces the biggest fentanyol bust in history. This is off the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico.

As we said, you don't have to take care of these boys. It happened in the Southwest. Okay. So Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, joint federal local task force listen to the numbers okay three million fentanyl lace pills three million okay um seven point five kilos of cocaine four point five kilos of heroin 49 rifles and pistols um 35 kilos of methamphetamine this is all from sinoloa okay so they use their people six of those arrested undocumented

migrants. Okay, there you go, open border Joe Biden. And good for them. Now, none of these people should get bail. And if they're convicted, they should get, what, 30 years? See, if you would punish these people harshly, it would make it more difficult for them to operate. Now, on Air Force one, they're whipping around the Gulf, making deals. But not Reuters, the Associated Press in Bloomberg. Trump wouldn't let them on the press plane. Why? Because they're hostile to Trump. And Trump takes that personally. And if you're hostile to him, you get booted off Air Force One. That's it. Now, I know some of you will write me and say, well, he gives interviews to ABC and something. He does that for a reason. He wants the confrontation. But believe me, if you criticize Trump and I do,

Every time I do, he's on me. Okay? Hey, you know, he takes it all personally. There is a crew that monitors all this. It is called Reporters Without Borders based in Paris, France, and it is issued its World Press Freedom Index. The United States are 180 countries that the Reporters Without Borders evaluate. we are 57, Romania and Sierra Leone, Africa are ahead of us, according to this organization.

Here are the worst countries for press freedom. Eritrea, that's in Africa, North Korea, communist, China, communist, Syria, chaos, Iran theocracy, Afghanistan, theocracy, Turkmenistan, theocracy, Vietnam communist, Nicaragos, you know, pretty much communist, totalitarian. So those are the worst, all right? So if you're a journalist there, and you don't want to be a journalist in Mexico either, you get a bullet right between the eyes. But the United States is, according to this report,

by Reporters Without Borders, problematic. All right, let's get into that. Problematic. Joining us from Washington, Clayton Weimers, the executive director of Reporters Without Borders, USA. So what's the biggest problem we have here, Mr. Weimers, with the press? Well, thanks for having me, Bill. Really a pleasure to be on, but not a pleasure to be talking about how badly the United States has fallen on the index.

RSF started doing this in 2002, at which point the United States was 17th in the world. Not bad, I think, you know, as Americans, we would all like that to be hired because we're so proud of our First Amendment. But we've gone in the other direction in recent years, and it's really been the past decade we've seen a consistent backslide on press freedom in this country across the administrations from both parties, Congress changing hands between both parties. So this really isn't tied to one particular political movement. It's really endemic of, I think, Americans starting to take press freedom for granted. I do want to take a step back and talk about how we put together the index. We measure on five categories of indicators, and we've seen a decline on all five of those categories in the United States, and those are economic, political, legislative, security, and social.

And across all five of those, we've seen declines in the past decade. All right. Give me a specific example of something that's horrendous in the United States, vis-a-vis the free press. Sure. Well, the biggest indicator that's taken him, in the United States, and frankly, this is true around the world, is the economic indicator. And I think anyone who's been paying attention in recent years, this shouldn't be too surprising because we've seen massive job losses across the news media.

We've seen the consolidation of media companies leading to fewer voices in the media landscape. And we're seeing the disappearance of small independent local news outlets. There's an estimate that on average, two local newspapers shut down Eke in the United States. And that's leading to a situation where more and more Americans simply don't have access to an independent local news outlet that is based in their community. Yeah, but you use the word independent, very few of these are. Now, I have the most successful independent news agency in the world by revenue. I mean, nobody comes close to us. And the reason we are successful is because, I mean, you could say that I lean traditional, and that's true.

but we're not in business to prop up a party or an ideology. Most of the media in America is. They take sides. And once that began in earnest, and it happened the Iraq War, Bush the Younger, that's when it really fractured when I was doing the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News. Okay. Once that happened, Americans lost faith in the media. And then you combine that with the technology where you can go and watch me anytime you want around the clock anywhere in the world on YouTube. So the state, well, one more time. The state traditional

media that was in the tank for one party or the other, they lost a lot. of credibility and a lot of attractiveness. I think that's largely correct analysis. The spread of partisan media, the kind of media that just tells you what you want to hear has been a net negative for press freedom. And by the way, it's a model that the United States has been exporting to other countries. And we've seen that become a big part of the media landscape in a lot of other countries. But it was already there in other countries.

come on, the BBC? Are you kidding me? I mean, I lived in England for a year. I was already there. We didn't have to export anything. We can't force anything. Look, when you had the Dominion voting machine scandal, all right, where certain news agencies were basically telling their audience, they knew that the stuff wasn't true what they were saying, and they said it anyway. That was it. that was it was it but it didn't have anything to do with the constitution it didn't have anything to do with the folks it had to do with these big media corporations that are going to say we're going to make money we don't care how we do it am i wrong i don't think you're wrong and i think actually there's an additional element here that has exacerbated the problem uh since what you identified

during the iraq war which is the way people get information largely now is through social media platforms and it's delivered by algorithm and these are systems that are set up to incentivize engagement not education education and propaganda information right um the only goal of the algorithm is they get you to keep clicking that's a fault of the people though they don't they're not seeking the truth of many americans don't want to know the truth they want to know the truth. They want to believe what they want to believe, right? Well, I don't know if I would go that far. I have a lot of faith that Americans do indeed want to know what's going on in the world. Oh, come on.

Oh, come on. Clayton, you think people who sit there watch MSNBC want to know the truth or CNN or even Fox? 95% of people that watch FNC are conservatives. 95% of it was 60 when I was there. Okay, you think they want to know the truth? Come on. They want to hear what they believe, reinforced. You know that. And that is why the whole media thing, landscape is collapsing in this country. Last word. I think that's a big part of it. And it's hard to separate those things out from things like safety, which is what we traditionally think of as press freedom, because when you have this diminished standing of the news media in the public mind, you're really lowering the bar for harassment and attacks. And that's one of the reasons we see attacks against journalists on the

in this country, which also contributes to the United States falling on the index in terms of the safety score. You know, I'm going to bring you back. I want you to research the attacks on journalists in this country. If you would do me a favor, because I'm the most controversial journalists in the country, I think. But it's an argument. I'm up there.

In the beginning, when I started, I got attacked. I had people on my property. I have to have security. And even now, if I go to Madison Square Garden or someplace like that, I got to have a couple of guys with me. So I know what you're talking about. But I want to get deeper into the physicality and what you see as putting U.S. journalists in danger. That's a fascinating topic.

And we appreciate your point of view, Mr. Weimers. Thanks for taking time today. Great. Thank you, having it. Okay. Media Madness. Now, I know. I do this probably every show, almost every show.

I'll give you a media story. I want you to be honest with me. If you don't care about it anymore, and I think that might be the trend, then I won't do it. Because it's my life, my profession, 50 years in the media. But if you've had it, tell me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Okay. So as you know, President Trump is suing CBS News because of an interview 60 Minutes did with Kamala Harris, which, by the way, has been, I sorry I said by the way, which has been nominated for an Emmy

because the Emmy people, all right, are hate Trump. So of course you're going to nominate this. Anyway, a bunch of far left senators led by our pal Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Sheldon White House, Richard Blumenthal, you know the gang. They sent a letter to Paramount CBS and don't settle with Trump. Quote, the lawsuit is an attack on the United States Constitution and the First Amendment has absolutely no merit, cannot stand the United States America. Presidents do not get to punish her censor the media

for criticizing them. Freedom of the press is what sets us apart from tin pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes. I believe that the Trump lawsuit centers around election interference, not criticism of Donald Trump. But I'm more than happy to see that case unfold in court. But it won't because Paramount and CBS will settle with Trump. Why? Because they want to sell to Skydance. All right, $8 billion. The Skydance company has offered Paramount Global, the parent company CBS, 8 billion. And Cherry Redstone, ahead of CBS, wants

that money. And that sales not going through unless they settle. But Trump's got them. Media madness. Okay. Remember, if you had it, let me know. We're here for you. How about the most dangerous states in the United States? You live in one? Here they are. Most dangerous state is New Mexico. Not surprised. A lot of methamphetamine law enforcement is kind of weak there. that surprising. Louisiana 3, Tennessee 4, Arkansas, Alaska. Wow. Washington State? California, Nevada, South Carolina. They are the most dangerous states. I've been to all of them. I never felt in danger in any of them, but that's just me. Here are the safest states in the union. New Hampshire, number one, live free or die. Maine, Idaho, Rhode Island, Connecticut, West Virginia, Wyoming.

Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New Jersey? Jersey? What would Tony Sopranos say? I don't know about Jersey. Northern Jersey. Central and Southern Jersey are pretty placid. A lot of stuff going on in Northern Jersey. Smart life. Okay. It is important that you speak well. So if you go for a job interview, if you are volunteering, if you want to get admitted to some educational facility, and you cannot speak in a grammatically correct way, you are hurting your chances and your life. People judge you on two things when they meet you. How you look and how you speak. Smart life. Now there are two phrases that life, hack.org, some pop website, has come out and explained, and I like these two. So a lot of people say, I could care less. That is wrong. The phrase should be, I couldn't care less, saying you could care less about a topic implies you do not care about it at least a little.

What you usually mean is you don't care about the topic at all, hence I couldn't care less. The second one is well and good. He did good. No. He did well. Good is an adjective. I'm not going to read that. Take that off.

That's a little penhedy. Adverbs and all that. Forget it. Forget it. You don't need that. Good is an adjective which describes something. My lasagna was good. Okay?

It's not my lasagna as well. well. But when you're describing a state of being, how are you? I am well. Not I'm good. Now everybody says, I'm good, all good, all that. It's a colloquialism now. Don't worry about that. But when you describe something, it's good. When you're talking about a situation, it's well. How about that, smart life? All right. Here is the tip of the day. As you know, I can't give you financial advice. A lot of concierge members ask me, you know, would you sell this stock? Would you do this? I can't do that. What I can do is tell you what I'm doing. Okay, but it doesn't always work out for me. I have a message of the day about that. Capitalism is risky. Socialism is not risky because you just do it. you're told. Now is a good time, I think, to buy a car. If you need a car, pre-owned, new, whatever it may be, might start to look around now. I think those car prices going up,

no matter what happens with the terrorists. Maybe your mom. You get three, you know, zero in a car you like, get the blue book, what it's worth, know what it's worth before you go into that dealership, and that's all on the internet, you can go and get it, particularly on pre-owned. Now, I have a nine-year-old Cadillac. It's got an eight in it. It's got a tape deck in it. It's got 66,000 miles on it. I'm not selling it. I'm keeping it. Okay, because it's worth it. It works great. It looks great. Okay. I'm a big guy. I can fit in that car. So, that's me. But if you're looking, if you have to, if the old car is falling apart, good time.

All right. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News. So see you again tomorrow.
