I guess the height of our assemblage was World War II. 99% of Americans were united to defeat the totalitarians in Germany and Italy and Japan.

But now, I don't know, it's a 60-40 split, 60% traditional. Americans, 40, don't like the country very much, you know, they're on that side that it's basically everything needs to change. So anyway, there are opposing points of view, and that's a good thing, but they're not respected as much as they used to be. And one of the reasons is that people believe what they want to believe, and we'll get into that in a moment. But there's another big reason why this division is taking play to it, and that is delusion. Many of us in America live in a delusional bubble, not in the real world. We don't want the real world.

We don't want to go anywhere near the real world. We want to take narcotics. We want to drink ourselves into a stupor. We want to believe stuff that's insane. And we seek it out. We don't want to deal with reality. That is a very difficult situation to overreact. common that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo so again people believe what they

want to believe and you know them i i know them in my life not close to me i can't deal with delusional people but i on a periphery um and you could go in with 10 facts and they'll just don't even listen no no no no you know them there's nothing you can do and maybe you can get them hypnotized but it's nothing you can do so i've come to the point my life we're out of them try okay you want to believe that you go believe it's not true but i did all i can do also there are a lot of people who just don't care about what's true it doesn't matter to them now i was raised in a home where there was a right and a wrong and then i went to catholic school where there was a right and a wrong i was usually in the wrong so i

I experienced that very vividly. But now we don't live in that world right and wrong anymore. Traditional homes have it, but secular homes don't. It's like, oh, well, whatever you want to do is fine. All right. Now, once you get into that world, then if you act out, you can hurt people. And I'm going to give you a very vivid example of this. So yesterday, Robert Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, testified in front of the House Appropriations Committee.

There are a bunch of radical leftists in the audience, and they don't like Kennedy, they don't like America, they don't like anybody. One of these radical Americans, the guy named Ben Cohen, that's Ben and Jerry's, I'm sure if you follow politics, you know, he's a far-left loom. Okay, here's what happened. Go. Thanks. Congress pays for bombs killed kids and gossip okay that's anarchy those people ever got control they're being massive violence they kill you if you disagree with them and on my

opinion but I've seen it throughout history you're irrational you live in that far. And you could be on the right, too. You could be Adolf. Hey, hey, he's great. We love the Nazis. Holocaust didn't happen. Same thing. No difference. But we see it played out more in America on the far left because the media accepts the far left, where it doesn't accept the far right or even conservative Americans. Okay. So later on, Mr. Cohen appears on News Nation with Cuomo. Go. It didn't really have anything to do with Bobby Kennedy. What it had to do with is that Congress has been cutting money for Medicaid, the health care for poor kids, and they're using the money they save doing that

to bomb other poor kids in Gaza. And now, you know, there's this, they're halting all the food aid that's going in. So they're starving the people of Gaza. That's just insane. All right, so run down the facts. And I'm only doing this as an intellectual exercise. I don't care what Ben Cohen says. I would never buy any Ben and Jerrys,

even though they don't own it anymore. They don't want any to do it. Okay? So there have been no cuts in Medicaid because that bill hasn't passed. They want to reform the waste because it's totally out of control in that program, but there's no cuts, okay? There's no cuts for health care for poor kids. In fact, entitlement spending is at all-time high.

American money is not being diverted from our entitlement programs to Israel so they can bomb poor kids. That's about as fallacious a statement as you could possibly have. Israel is defending itself against terror attacks from Hamas. Hamas lives in civilian areas in Gaza. and children have gotten hurt in the crossfire. Every war that's happened. I'm not justifying anything. I'm just telling you what the facts are.

Okay? So Israel is supposed to say, oh, yeah, come on. You attack our people, you kill our children. We're not going to do anything because you're hiding behind your children. And that's what Amos is doing. But always not. Okay. So Cohen is delusional.

He doesn't care. And then he raises a very interesting question. The United States, he says, is helping the bomb, or actually bombing, killing the kids. Here are the facts. You will remember, and this story died fast, but I've resurrected it today. You'll remember President Biden allocating millions of dollars, 230 million to be exact, to build a platform in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Gaza. to get food to the hungry people there.

Remember that story, okay? It went nowhere. They built the pier. It operated for 20 days and then devolved into chaos. 62 U.S. servicemen were hurt because of terrorist activity over there, 62. Okay? They couldn't get the food to the Gossin because the terrorists, Hamas, stole it.

As soon as it got from the platform built into the sea, into the mainland, the guys that the machine guns came out, took it all. Ben know that? Hey, Ben, you know that? That's why you can't get any food in there, because Hamas steals it. That's why they're starving. Now, the United States Biden tried to do something, and of course, it was a fiasco, because everything under Biden pretty much was a fiasco.

The goal was to feed a half million people each month for three months. They didn't get any food in there to speak of, all right? And then it took a thousand U.S. forces to evacuate the people who were in there trying to feed the gossans because they would have been murdered. That's what happened. No reportage on it. Biden, are you Biden saying anything about it? No.

So actually, the intent was. was noble to get food to starving people, but Biden couldn't carry it out. It couldn't carry out anything. Nothing. And that's what happened. So when I hear this irrational stuff, and I said, I'm giving you one very clear example tonight, it drives me crazy because this is surging in America, this kind of crazy stuff. This is what's going on at college campuses. But you're starving. West government's bombing the poor kids. They're starving about, that's what's going on at Harvard and Columbia. And if a guy like me walks in with a sheet of facts, then they're going to hate me. And it won't believe anything. And that's a memo. All right, latest Harvard

Harris poll run by our pal Mark Penn. Fair poll, 2,286 registered voters.

Well, look, you know, we interview voters and you have to be careful. Well, there are two things. One, you have to differentiate between the polls that tend to interview all adults, because all adults tend to be more negative about everything.

And so they're more negative towards all politicians than voter polls. We're a voter poll. The second thing is I made sure to readjust my sample after the election to make sure that it represents that the Republicans now are a bigger party than the Democrats. That was the result of the election. That's what Gallup found. And I think a lot of the other polls just, you know, basically had Harris winning and then stuck with their exact sample. We had it very close within two points. Either way, we made sure that our samples, we believe, accurately represent the country.

And it's not like Donald Trump's in the 70s or anything, but he certainly has continued to keep his constituency, maybe a little bit more. He's got some very high approval ratings on some of the policies he is pursuing and some things that people are not as happy with. Okay. And I'm a kind of guy that puts the polls into perspective as far as data is concerned. And you're running an honest poll. I've never had a problem with Harvard Harris poll. And I'm a problem with Gallup. All right.

McLaughlin is always very accurate. And the guys in Brazil are good. Forget their names now, but they were the best on the presidential race. Do you believe that there are certain outfits that have their thumb, cliche, on the polling scale and want to deliver a bad poll number for Trump. Well, look, I think you've seen the entire media, you know, gang up pretty much on the president and his policies. You've seen it, I mean, look, imports are only 10% of the country, and a 10% tariff on 10% of the country is 1%.

And oh my God, did you see dire predictions of complete economic collapse here? All right, tariffs may not be a positive move compared to tax cuts and may have some dislocations. But relatively speaking, you saw this vast exaggeration of their size and impact. And at the same time, it's the same thing I think that you see in some of these polls. they don't ask the questions, you know, that they don't want the answers to. We're very clear, you know, people support taking those people who are here illegally and committed crimes out of the country.

There's no question about that. They may not be for renaming the Gulf of Mexico into Gulf of America, but when it comes to the core immigration policies that the president is pursuing, that's supported by like 70% of the country, if not more. Well, I think, and you correct me if I'm wrong, because you know more about this than I do, but I've been around a while. When you are being paid to deliver data,

you pretty much want to please your pay master. It's a psychological thing. And if there are ways that you can do that, and you pointed one of them out by keeping an obsolete model, that the Democratic Party has a bigger presence than the Republican Party, when that's not true any longer. But nobody knows whether you're keeping that or not, except you, and you want to get paid,

you'll keep the obsolete model. That just makes sense, right? Well, let me say that the Harvard-Harris poll is done as a not-off-it. Purely because I felt that newspaper polls were no longer reflecting the kind of more accurate polling than I did at the Wheat House when I worked with President Clinton.

because, I mean, I went back and I saw, well, sanctuary cities. Would you think it's popular that cities don't pick up people who are designated and committed crimes and deport them? Well, I found out that no poll had asked that question since 1978, right? So a lot of the polls don't carry the questions they don't want the answers to. Now, I'm not going to indict the whole profession. And people run honest polls, you know. But your poll is a lot different than 80% of them. Let me ask you one more question, forward looking.

The media, as you pointed out, does have a tendency to try to panic the folks. You use the tariff example, the import example, is very low. When the folks hear that and then they see. a down day on the stock market or a down week, they do indeed panic. And that is reflected in the polling, correct? Yeah, I have actually found that the voters are less sensitive to the stock market. They're mostly sensitive to the prices that they pay and to the unemployment rate. And those things very much directly affect politics.

Look, why isn't Trump, you know, in the 50s or 60s? right? Because the most important issue right now is inflation, and people haven't experienced inflation coming down or prices down, even though gas and eggs are down somewhat. The president is off on a lot of other issues, particularly immigration, but also on tariffs, on a number of these others. But the voters, I think, are really looking for a demonstration that the economy is going to be strong, that his economic policies are going to work, and that their wages are going to grow faster than prices. Well, that's what he's trying to do, but nobody knows whether that is going to work or not.

Mark Penn, thank you very much. We always enjoy talking to you, and we'll speak again soon, I hope. Thank you. All right, let's go to Mexico, and you know I feel about that country. So we are the biggest trading partner for Mexico. Mexico cannot survive without the United States. buy their stuff, millions of Mexico in the United States legally and illegally send money back to their relatives inside of Mexico. Tourism is the biggest next to oil, and I don't even know what the Mexican oil industry does anymore. But without the United States, Mexico goes down. In return, Mexico has allowed drug cartels to kill more than a million Americans this century so far. And they don't constrain the drug cartels. The drug cartels are the most powerful unit

inside of Mexico. They run, okay, areas of the country, Senaloa, you know, all bunch. Cartels run them. They bribe officials. If you don't take the bribe, they shoot you and your family. Okay. The Mexican government had no control over them at all. None. Overdoor was a disgrace. Now I have a new president, Gloria Scheinbaum, okay? She didn't have any control of the drug cartels. They run Acapulco. All right, I was in a town called La Paz a few years ago. Cartel in the whole town.

All the buildings, all the restaurants, all the bars, the cartel, you get some of them. There they were. Okay? Because they got the money. So Trump is trying to break the drug cartels, and he has designated them as terrorist groups. which means the United States can hunt them down and kill them anywhere in the world or incarcerate them.

Guantanamo Bay. I wrote a message of the day about this today on Bill O'Reilly.com. Shine bomb is not cooperating with Trump in trying to destroy the drug cartels. It's shocking. Roll the tape. In one of the calls, U.S. President Donald Trump said it was important for the U.S. important for the US Army to enter Mexico, to help us in the fight against drug trafficking.

And I want to say that's true. In some of the calls, he said, how can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the US Army come in to help you. And you know what I told him? No, President Trump. Trump. The territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended. What a bunch of bull. You don't have sovereignty, madam. You don't run your own country. I mean, it's so insane that this century, more than a million people in Mexico have been murdered or disappeared, according to a variety of human rights.

They shoot mayors, they shoot journalists, they shoot anybody. You don't have any sovereignty. You don't run your own country. And Trump is handing you a card that would break these drug cartels once and for all. And all he wants you to do is cooperate with him. We don't even need your cooperation by U.S. law, by the way. We don't even need it. We can drone those people or send someone.

seals in to get them any time we want. And what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Trump is being polite to you. And you do this is what our president said. Well, she's so afraid of the cartel, she can't walk. So, you know, that's the reason. And I think she's a lovely woman. But the president of Mexico is a lovely woman. But she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight. that's true he's afraid he's going to get killed and

that's where we are in this and nobody else in American media will tell you the truth I don't go to Mexico you know that I'm going to do more on this on YouTube on our YouTube special we call bonus YouTube bonus I'm going to get into

the precise stats and how horrendous this whole country is Mexico you imagine if a Another country was killing Americans the way that fentanyl and heroin and cocaine are killing Americans. And the government wouldn't do anything to stop it? I mean, we'd clear a war on them. Wars have started a lot less than this. All right, check out the YouTube thing.

We'll give you the address a little later on. Comedy. And this is part of Smart Life, too. So I need, I wrote a message of the day about this book, Let Them, which has been number one for like five weeks by Mel Robbins, a self-help book. And I don't read self-help books because I'm beyond help. And that's why I wrote in the message of the day, if you want to check it out. But another Mel is a guy that I, is desperate, I'm desperate to see what he does. And that's Mel Brooks, because he's the funniest guy.

the producers and Young Frankenstein. You want laughs? Those two movies. I know, I know Blazing Salazar. That's a little crude for me. But boy, the producers, Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, and Young Frankenstein. So I got to have laughs. So I was looking at the comedy landscape in the United States. Most comedians are left-wingers. But that's changing. There's a guy named Nate Burgos or something. And I looked at it. He'd get a pretty good set. Clean, not particularly political.

Jeff Dunham, the guy with the puppets, fantastic. That guy is so talented. But they're not liberals. And I started this. I'm taking credit for the non-liberal comedy surge. So I want to show you, want to back it up, as we always do, October 7th, 2015, Dennis Miller and O'Reilly.

Now, Trump, I got him a bumper sticker that said by other plane is Air Force One. And he'll be the only guy who's going to be president and Sleming it on the plane. Bernie Sanders, I'm sending him a bill for half of what he has. Because if we're going to go down this road, he wants way more than half. He should start it then. Give me half your stuff, Bernie, we'll go from there. And I don't mean any of that bad pomade on what's left of your head here. Biden, speaking of a bad head hair, I got him an eight by eight.

tenant, William Proxmire to remind him while his plugs are bad. William Foxmark. You haven't heard that name in about 30 years. All right, so Miller and O'Reilly, huge hit. Okay, we went on the road and we had a lot of fun, and Miller's doing very well out in California.

It's not even a comedian. I don't know what he is, but I don't know what he's doing there. Kimmel, yeah, he's funny, but he's very left, too. Fallon doesn't care about politics. Fallon just wants to be in the band. That's all he wants to do. But if you watch late-night TV, it's 90% left-wing, guess and point of view and all of that.

But on the Internet, no, there are more and more traditional conservative comedians. One of them is a guy named Jeff Ahern, Out of California, roll of tape. One book is even by former CNN anchor and Biden's sycophant, Jack Taper, called Original Sin. It details the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline. Jack, you're one of the people covering it up. Watching you hunt for the killers of honest journalism is a little bit like watching O.J. Simpson, hunting for the killers of Nicole Brown.

Another of the new books claims Biden needed a makeup artist on foreign trips, not for TV, but to liven him up for in-person meetings. You know, so he didn't look like he just rolled out of the coffin. Well, if you can put lipstick on a pig, why not rouge on a corpse? It wasn't every meeting, the less important ones, they kept him closed casket. Well, when a puppet needs to last four years, sometimes it's best to keep him in a box. Yet through it all, the mainstream media showed their contempt for viewers' intelligence, making excuses for the president and saying he was in great shape.

Come on, he needed a Sherpa to get from one side of the stage to the other. yet many Democrats still use the mainstream media as their only news source, which begs the question, who is more far gone, Joe Biden, or those who, for four years, were willing to believe that he wasn't. All right, Jeff Ehren joins us now from Glendale, California, outside of L.A. He's a host of news on the day on Rumble. See, I don't even know what Rumble is. I don't know, Roku, Rumble, Toku, tofu, I get.

But I know that you're pretty hot. But you've been around 30 years. You've been around a long time doing stand-up. Have things changed in your industry? Oh, yeah, very dramatically. You used to be able to just go out and do jokes and people would laugh. And, you know, it's pretty easy. You know, you just do your act.

And then I live in California, so there came a time, you know, probably, I don't know, I'd say seven, eight years ago, you literally couldn't say anything that was not narrative-friendly. And if you did so, the club owners wouldn't book you. You'd have to play out of state. Other comics would, you know,

kick you out of the group, so to speak. And the thing is, a lot of them held the same exact beliefs that you did, but they were afraid to say it. So it's often interesting to me when someone is a leftist comedian. Are they really leftist, or are they leftist for the work, so to speak?

All right, let's get specific, though. You've worked with almost everybody. them all. You work with Amy Poehler and Tina Faye. You can't get more awoke than those two. Can't get more left wing. When I did my gig on Saturday Night Live, I walked in. I thought that Amy Poehler was going to throw up when I showed up. I mean, the look I got, like, what the deuce, who let him in, and why isn't security dragging him out? Both of those women are about as far left as you can get. Now, when you interacted with them, Jeff,

have any problem? No, no, when I, when I interacted with them, I was, you know, I was, I was on the left too. I was, I was an idiot. This was, you know, when I was a moron in my 20s. And I was just like, oh, yeah, whatever, what are we supposed to do? You know, I just took instructions. I didn't think for myself. And then I got to the point where I started thinking for myself. And I'm like, what am I doing? This is a terrible idea. You know, what are we, what are we letting criminals out of jail free for? What are we hiring based on race for? You know, to end race, all these things. Basically, everything that the left had as a narrative point,

you'd look at intellectually and be like, this is insane. Was that a St. Paul moment? Was that a St. Paul moment? Like lightning hit you, or did that evolve over a period of time? I wish it was like a spontaneous, like lightning strike. No, it evolved over time. Well, I just one more thing after another, after another, after another. I'm like, you know, I don't actually think for myself.

I just sit here and I just do what everyone tells me I'm supposed to do. If I actually analyze this, and then it got to the point where I'm like, well, now, where do I go to get my news sources from? Because it's all basically just left his dribble. But here's my dilemma here. I know what you're saying, but a lot of these people are very, very smart. Okay. So Kimmel is no idiot. But he is so deeply ingrained.

But it helps him. Because if you are a conservative comic or a traditional comic, Your job opportunities in these corporations are far fewer than if you're left. Isn't that correct? Yeah, they're almost non-existent. It's the status quo. And I feel like a lot of these comedians, I don't know. I think Kimmel is a leftist.

But I feel like they've gone so far forward in that direction. There is no turning back. They've got to keep going. No, for them, there is a... But remember, Kimmel was on The Man Show. Yes. Okay? And he was not a raving lunatic on ideology back then.

He was funny. And he was way politically incorrect. He was a, I mean, my God, the guy was what the guy was doing. But anyway, so the industry in Hollywood has not evolved, has not changed. And I'm taking the three Americans concept out now with Stephen A. Smith and Chris Cuomo and me, which is a really good concept. It's funny. It's sharp.

It's that. But when we go out to talk to these people in Hollywood, I mean, they're living in a totally different world than the world that you and I live in, Jeff. They're not in our world here. No, they're in an insulated bubble. And it's kind of, you brought up a Newsom. And it was shocking to me when I heard what Newsom's speech today. And how he's literally pivoting. He's trying to, he's trying to become a Republican. He's trying to. Well, he has to. He wants to be president. But that just shows you who he is. it just shows you who he is now one of the guys who helped you do what you do and i i should mention that you do five days a week political commentary that's a lot um yeah and you can find a jeff on rumble if you know what rumble is and that's just it nobody knows it rumble is well anybody under 50 knows uh you'll can find it anyway the uh what there was a turning point before Gutfeld. Gutfeld was a big

turning point. He made a ton of money for Fox doing the right wing human. Yeah. But Norm McDonald Oh, I love Norm. Norm McDonald was the first one who really say, you know

what, this is a bunch of bull. I'm going to play it straight as far as looking at the world the way it is. Am I wrong there? No, Norm was ahead of his time. And it was just That's why everyone loved Norman because he just didn't care. If you told him not to do something, he would do it even harder.

He was excited. But his point of view and I got to know Norm before he died was very sharp, but he just rejected the insanity on both sides. Final thing, you see a guy like Bill Maher was really the only one now at that level on HBO and HBO is a very left-wing organization. Oh, for sure. he goes to see Trump, Marr, and says good things about Trump. The vitriol directed at Mar, unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Right? They know they're losing it. And Mar is just a flaming firework example of just how bad they're losing. He's even like coming over to our side because he's like, enough, enough, I can't do it anymore, enough. Well, don't think he's coming over. He's not because he knows where his paycheck comes from. He's tipping his toe in the water.

You know, he's supposed to mark, but the things he's a contrarian. Yeah, he's a contrarian, that's for sure. But he'll stay where HBO wants him to stay. He will. All, Jeff, we, when you get something that you feel is ridiculous, not just on the left, though, but just absurd. You let us know, all right? So I'll kind of treat you a little like Miller. I actually treat you better than Miller because I made fun, Miller.

are all the time. You let us know, and we'll pop you right in. We wish you the best, and thank you for helping us out tonight. Oh, I had a great time, Bill. Thank you. Air traffic control chaos. Newark Airport, do not go there. So the shortage of controllers, then there's all kinds of equipment breakdowns. And this happened under the Biden administration. I get it. But right now, if you go to Newark, listen to this. Okay. In the past, In the last 24 hours, 150 flights are canceled at Newark Airport. 150 flights canceled in 24 hours. Don't go there.

A government watchdog warned Biden and voted judge. failing air traffic control look at this report they knew the air traffic control system was strained and still did nothing working with the president we are going to do what no administration has done deliver all new envy of the world air traffic control system all right that's what Duffy says now I

told you three years ago about Buddha judge and the transportation situation go people can't get where they want to go there's no regulation by Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary, who is an affirmative action hire based upon his lifestyle choice. And it's a bad, bad situation. Now, this is like the border. So the federal government knows it's happening. The stats are there. And they didn't do anything about it. Okay, won't fix it. Buda judge won't fix it. If you read my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, I list a whole bunch of things that Biden and his administration just wouldn't deal with. This ignored it. Totally ignored it. And this is one of them. All right.

So I run three corporations. I hire younger people. I mean, everybody's younger than me, so I don't have much of a choice. And some of them are very motivated and very smart. And I hire them like that and I pay them pretty well. Okay, but most of them are not. Number one, they can't speak. They can't articulate their thoughts. Number two, they have trouble concentrating, particularly when you're speaking to them. So spoken word, very difficult. They want you to text them everything or emails so they can read it when you speak to them, as I have to do, all right, maybe they'll retain it, maybe they won't. And this is where the word miscommunication comes in, which is a fallacious word, doesn't mean anything. You can look

them in the eye and you can say something and they just won't get it, okay, because they are addicted to the phone. Now, what I do, and this is smart life, is when I speak to somebody, not just young, but anybody now, and it's important, I make them repeat back to me what I said. And I do it a fun way, particularly if I'm ordering something. So just give me, just repeat back what I said. And they will. Because once you repeat something back, it's in your mind because you hear it. Okay. So it was a new study out. Gallup and Common Sense Media, 1,306, 8 to 18 years old in the United States. Ready? Half of that crew spend seven hours and 22 minutes. a day on the phone or the computer.

Are you kidding me? Seven hours, 22 minutes. The other half, at least four hours. So we are creating a nation of zombies, of people who are totally dependent on machines and devices, who cannot think independently, who cannot understand basics verbally, and who cannot speak.

That's just happening. Some of the urchins, the younger people, are getting around it mainly because their parents demand that, like me, the mean guy. Okay, phone goes down, no phones at supper, study time, no phones, okay? Sometimes they actually do their work on the phone, so I got to monitor that, all right? I'm strict in that. Not as strict as some. I didn't ban it. I didn't do any of that. I let them play their games to a certain extent. But I got them to go around that addiction. But now, this is not good, smart life. You've got to be able to speak. You've got to be able to retain

information if you want to succeed in America. Best Word states, U.S. News and War Report. They always do this. Nobody reads that magazine. But I'll tell you what it. says, health care, education, economy, infrastructure, public safety, natural environment, fiscal stability, opportunities for residents. That's what it's based on. Here are the best. Utah, number one. Yay, Utah. New Hampshire, live for your die. Idaho, Minnesota. How do Minnesota get in there to a crazy left state? Nebraska, Florida, Vermont, socialist state, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Washington State. Massachusetts and Washington,

very, very left, okay? So I'm not doubting U.S. News and Roan. They're free to make up their own mind. I would live, New Hampshire. Okay, okay, a little cold. I'd have to have a warm weather port. Florida, I already lived there. A little too hot for me there.

Vermont, beautiful, even though they're socialist. Not a lot of them. Massachusetts, I lived there a long time. Loved it. And they did. Crazy left didn't bother me. I don't know why. So those places I would have.

Here are the worst. One of the worst days, here they are. Louisiana. Oh, I love the culture down there. I love the food down there. Alaska, beautiful place. Mississippi, New Mexico, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma. Pennsylvania.

Look at that. Commonwealth makes it into the 10 worst. I don't know why that is, but that's U.S. News and World Report, not me. Okay, final third of the day is membership renewal time. We're running 88% renewals, which I think is top of the chart, very, very high number. And we will have this week for concierge and premium members, a, best of the news nation town hall which is tomorrow night it's two hours we're not going to run a whole two hours on bill o'Reilly.com we'll cut it down about 30 minutes

And it's not expensive. We keep the price down. We've always kept the price down.

And I thank you very much for watching and listening to the no-spin news. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
