Before we went to air, Jack Smith, special prosecutor said to the judge, hey, I think we should drop all this stuff against Trump. Who predicted that? That might be me. Okay. And Donald Trump having a very happy Thanksgiving down there in Florida. and I'll tell you that. But there's a lot of stuff in motion. And of course, we always stay ahead of it here, which is why you watch and listen to me, I'm sure. And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So let's begin with why, okay, the no-spin news has been so successful.

We are now the most financially successful independent news agency. in the world. That's pretty staggering. As because of you watching me now, listening on the radio, but why do you do it? You do it because you know we're honest. We're not ideological. We tell you what we believe, but most importantly, why we believe it. And we also are ahead of the news cycle. So we have had an extraordinary year here predicting what would happen in this 2024 election cycle. Here is the backup. Go. Now, the first prediction I've got to say

is the Supreme Court will overturn Colorado and Maine to take Trump off the vote. Trump will probably be able to get around his legal situations. Most likely, with the help of the Supreme Court. Just mark my words. Now remember, this case is in Manhattan. So Trump has no chance.

He has no chance in Manhattan, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. The case never would have been brought in 30 states. But in Manhattan, if the trial does start on April 15th, Trump is guilty. Now, my prediction made six months ago, maybe more, is that Joe Biden will not be on the ticket. and something's going to happen. Something's going to happen. Might be the debate. So this morning, I was up at 6,

and the media was already pounding the drum that Biden's staying in the race. That's not true. Okay, that's what the media has been told to say. So I think that by any fair measure, the electoral vote situation in the so-called swing states will swing Trump's way. I put Trump at about 319 electoral votes right now.

If Trump is elected, who will be the Secretary of State? Marco Rubio. I haven't been right about everything else, but most things, including the Biden, wouldn't be running. So let's sum up the talking points memo. I predict Donald Trump will be the next president. So Congressman Gates, Florida, yesterday so he's out not going to be a congressman anymore he's hoping that he

will be in the Trump administration and I don't think he is a good choice for attorney general I think Pam Bondi who's also very loyal Donald Trump who's the former AG in Florida is a far better choice All right, so remember Johnny Carson had a character Karnak, The Magnificent? He put an envelope to his head, and then he predicted. That's me. I mean, really, step back. I know I'm conceded.

I know I'm bragging. I'm sorry. Forgive me, please. But the record is the record. Every single one. We're way out in front of it. The electoral votes, I said 319, Trump got 317. I mean, sometimes, and people walk on and go, they look at me and go, how do you do it?

I go, look, some of it is, but our research is so intense here. We cover it all from all sides. We don't believe what we want to believe. That's number one. We don't do that. And we don't analyze based on party affiliation or ideology. So, I can't figure out why all 350 Americans, even the newborn, aren't watching me right now. Come on.

Why do you, why do you? I say this to some people, I go, why are you wasting your time watching? Because I know what they're watching. Why? They're just going to deceive you. Anyway, 2020, 2024 has been our best year ever. We've earned it. Thanks to you, and that's the memo.

the memo. So let's get into some hard news, okay? Joe Biden, pardon two turkeys today, peach and blossom, okay? And then he took a nap. Pige and blossom, went home, I guess, to wherever turkeys live. Donald Trump didn't do anything today, but he did. He's got a little office of Mar-a-Lago. I've been there. Not lavish at all. You have to go out of the main lobby and then you go across and you go up another stairs and he has his office there with his people around him. I think that's probably where he is planning out strategy for the next almost two months before he becomes president. All of his cabinet selections have been now announced, 21 of them. There are three that are going to have problems. Pete Hegsef, Department

of Defense, Tulsi Gabbard, Department of Defense. Director of National Intelligence, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Health and Human Services. Hegsef, not a lot of experience managing a mammoth bureaucracy, and he's got people throwing accusations at them. That's not unusual in this day and age, you know that. Accusations every day, every way. They're used as cudgels now, and you need to step back and evaluate. But Hegsteth really doesn't have the management experience, that's the best word. If I'm a senator, I bring them in, but boy, I grill them hard.

Robert Kennedy Jr. has just got too much conspiracy stuff on his plate. And we went over that last week. I don't have to go over it. But he did a nice job in the environmental area here in New York on riverkeepers, clean up the Hudson River. He's dead on about the food industry causing death and, disease among Americans. I mean, it's a big scandal. It's just as bad as tobacco, all right?

But, boy, if you look at Kennedy's background stuff, he said is so irresponsible. You can't defend it. And then Tulsi Gabbard, you know, she stuck up for Putin in Russia, and she's in isolation, and she got her in charge of national intelligence. I don't know.

Again, I'd bring her in. I like her. She was very good on this program, answered the questions, didn't dodge. but I'm not sure national intelligence is where she should be. Anyway, those three in the weeks to come are going to be problematic, but we will follow it and report on it fairly. So the two most powerful people beside President Trump are Susie Wiles, the chief of staff.

She is 67 years old. She ran the Florida campaign for Trump in 2016. She is the daughter of the late sportscaster Pat Summerall. I never met her. My reporting people I know is good. Solid woman, very smart. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

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 worlds of 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 most powerful person in the country beside Donald Trump is Stephen Miller. chief of staff or policy. Now, he goes, well, he's just a deputy chief of staff. There is no sheriff. Trump is his sheriff. So it says deputy chief of staff. There's no chief of staff for policy. It's Miller. Now, why is Miller so powerful? He's 39 years old. I first came across him when he was attending Duke University and he went to bat for those Duke lacrosse players who were falsely accused of rape.

Remember that story? I was a horrible story. Well, Miller was one of the few that stood up in defense of these lacrosse players. I always remembered that. And now, he is the guy closest to Donald Trump on policy. So I have said that Trump's White House will be top-down, unlike the last time.

When he entered the White House, he was a bit insecure. He'd never been there before. He hired people that he shouldn't have hired. Now he's going to run the show. And Miller is the guy. It's going to be a top advisor. We'll pick up the phone and tell the cabinet heads what to do.

There's not going to be a lot of policy outside the White House. It's not going to be like Bush the Younger's administration. You'll remember that Colin Powell, Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney, Vice, they had enormous power. Enormous power in that administration. That's not going to be it. Trump, Wiles, and Miller are going to make the policy, along with a couple of others. Miller will pick up the phone and say, what we're going to do.

That's it. So the department heads are not as important as they used to be. And Biden did that, too, and it was a disaster. Okay? Mayorkas. I mean, come on. Ridiculous, Homeland Security. And Buttigieg watches the airline industry collapse, does nothing, it's Department of Transportation. But anyway, that's how it's going to go down. Now, some of you know, we have a foreign news partner. It's called Global Post Media. It's centered in Boston. And, you know, I'm very choosy about who I do business. with because I think most of the corporate media is corrupt, dishonest, flat-out ridiculous.

And Global Post runs a daily newsletter, and they do use BBC and Al Jazeera and CNN, but they source them all. So I can figure out real fast if this is legitimate, and Global Post editors, I've known for decades. I work for them in Boston, I know they're honest people, so I don't have a problem. with the information flow. We have a special offer from them we're going to tell you about in a few minutes by joining us now from Cambridge, Massachusetts, right

across the river from Boston, Phil Balboni, and he is the CEO of Global Post. All right, so, do you have any idea why Biden would do this with two months left in his term? I think I do, Bill. It's good to see you, first of all. What he's trying to do is

give Zelensky, Ukraine, the best opportunity of keeping that the territory they have in Russia in Kursk, the incursion that they created a number of months ago. It's a pretty sizable incursion. And so I think Biden, after resisting for a long, long time decided in his final couple of months here that he was going to do it and give them a chance to hold. the Russians back from their steady pressure. And of course, you have 11,000 North Korean soldiers in there now to help the Russians. So that's what this is really about. It's not really to hurt Trump. It's really to give the Ukrainian some bargaining territory. Because it seems a little disrespectful if you're a lame doc and you only have two months, a very short period

time, that you would provoke Putin into upping whatever he can up. It just seems to me, if I'm incoming president and outgoing does that to me, unless they talked about it, and there's no indication they have, and it bothers me that neither Biden nor Trump has said anything about it. You know, a little explanation here. Yeah, I hear you, but, I mean, you do have two very different camps here. And you have, I mean, the camp that's represented by, let's say, Biden and a lot of other people in Washington is, you know, they're against Russia. They think the war is completely Russia's fault, and they wanted to help Ukraine defend itself.

That's one side. The other side, President Trump has a different opinion, and Biden knows that Trump is going to end the war very quickly after it becomes president, basically more favorably to Russia. and that is what's going to happen. So I think he figured it was his last chance to do something for Ukraine. It wasn't going to stop Trump making a deal with Putin. You're saying he's being benevolent. See, I don't see that.

Number one, the Ukrainians are going to have to give back cursed and the territory in Russia they took with any ceasefire. They'll have to give it back. They will, but they're going to trade for it. They're going to trade for it. They want to get something else. Legitimate point, they want to get this for that, quid pro quo.

Yes, exactly. But again, I'd like to hear Trump weigh in on this, but of course nobody asks them any questions of this note. All right, let's go on to Israel. It looks to me and tell me if I'm wrong, and I know you will, because for five decades you've been telling me I'm wrong. No, no. No, I'm really kidding. You're actually a good boss. I mean, you gave me a hard time once in a while, but not much.

No, you were a good reporter. You did your work very well. Israel, I think, likes the fact that Trump's going to be president. What do you think? Definitely, they do. I think there's already a deal to stop the war in Lebanon close to the time Trump takes office on January 20, which will be a good thing.

But there won't be an end of the war in Gaza because there is no apparent easy solution there. Netanyahu is not giving up. Trump is not going to pressure him either to end that war soon. So, I mean, one good thing, one bad thing, but absolutely, Netanyahu will be very happy to have Trump back. Yeah, I agree.

But there's no central authority in Gaza anyway. It all goes through Tehran, and that brings me to the Muller's. So the Mullahs are going to attack, Israel, they're going to obliterate them, they were going to do this, they were going to do that. Of course, they've done nothing because they don't have the Air Force or the capability to carry out any kind of a threat. Israel is stepping up, it's pressure on Iran. Trump is not Iran friendly, but the mullers now have to recalibrate their strategy, correct? They do.

I think this is a chance for President-elect Trump to really have a breakthrough and early. early breakthrough. Iran is weakened. I mean, we saw, first of all, they are allies, Hezbollah, and Hamas are in tatters. We see that Iran's offensive capabilities are really not so impressive. They are close to a nuclear weapon. So that's what Trump would want to make go away. I think there's a potential deal there. I mean, if Trump wants to seek it. Yeah, we don't have any idea about that at this point. Now, as I said, I believe Putin and Trump already have a deal. Do you think they do? I agree. I agree. I think it's made. And I'm one of those who believe that ending the war is a good thing. And you know, the Gallup poll recently in Ukraine showed that

52% of Ukrainians want the war to end soon. 38% of repose. Right. All countries in an uproar, and it's got to end. It has to end. Let's go over to China. Now, it's more complicated situations, more economic warfare with Taiwan looming in the background. So I could never get a handle.

And I asked Trump himself, man to man, eye to eye, a couple of times, what his relationship with Xi was. And all he would tell me was that she is a very smart guy, which we know. And she is a manipulator, and he uses everybody against everybody else. And but his goal is to dominate the world, to replace the United States as the world's greatest superpower. That is she's goal. Now, I see a bit more problem with Trump, she, than with Trump Putin. You're definitely right.

The possibility of war with China is real. We keep drifting in that direction. There's a lot of people in the President administration and in the incoming administration, like the new Secretary of State, who are very hawkish on China. I don't think that President-elect Trump is one of those people. I think this is another historic opportunity, frankly, for Donald Trump to work out the relationship with China. It won't be easy. It is complicated by economics and other things, by their desire to be a global superpower. Well, they are a global superpower. But I think there's

an opportunity for President Trump to have a historic breakthrough here with China. I think his relationships with Xi, the few times they met, were pretty good. She was in the United States. You remember, I think he came to Mar-a-Lago. I think these two strong men can, have an opportunity to work things out. Yeah, I mean, and they almost have to. I mean, she has because his population is restive, word of the day, restive. The economy goes up and down, he can't afford a trade war with the United States. So I agree that there's this potential there.

The best trying to expert in the world, in my opinion, is Graham Allison, the former dean of the Harvard Kennedy School. I wish Trump would use him. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to suggest again that. He consult with Allison, as Alice knows the stuff. Now, the governments of Sweden and Finland, new NATO members, have warned their populations about an impending nuclear war. I think that's a little bit of an overreaction, but what do you think?

Well, I think, you know, both of those countries have recently joined NATO. So they were on the sidelines in a way. They were, you know, technically neutral. Now they're part of the Defense Alliance really again. against Russia. And they're telling their people in slightly different ways, be ready, you know, in cases of war and all the things that would come with it.

They gave out booklets in Sweden and they published guidelines in Finland about what people should do. Well, what should they do? They would have big conscription, you know. Now, Finland, but they're not even, what are they going to do? They can't go any further.

north to fall off the planet. Well, they can't go. I do so. Remember, Finland, go ahead. Finland did kind of beat, not beat the Russians, but they stalinated them. Yeah, World War II, I know. Yes, exactly. But now, I mean, they're

they can't do anything. No, they're not. Yeah, they were smart to join NATO. Last question. 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.

It seems to me that the NATO countries don't like Trump very much. I think that's true. And the reason is that he struts around. He goes, look, we're the big dog. You're the little dog. Do what we say. Pay your dues. Trump's big thing.

You got to pay your dues. That doesn't seem to be unreasonable to me, right? That the NATO countries... He was right in his first term, and you know what's happened? The vast majority of those NATO members have exceeded the 2% GDP spending on... But they don't like it. I was just looking at the numbers today. There's only nine countries left in NATO that haven't hit the 2%.

Now, that includes Spain, Italy, Canada, But Germany, France, the U.K., Poland, all the Baltic states, all the Scandinavian states, they're all over 2%. Trump was wise to make that point, and it's happened. So he could take a victory lap on that one. Yeah, and, you know, he doesn't really care what they think of them. I mean, I know that to be true. All right, Phil.

I hope you get a lot of subscribers. It's a good venture you have, and thanks for helping us out today. Walmart. So there are 10,600 Walmarts in the United States of America.

And it's a good place if you're looking to save money. And they sell my book, so that's, you know, another good thing. They're run by a guy named Doug McMillan. I think they're out of Arkansas, Walmart. And huge success. So they got caught up in awoke Walmart. I was surprised when they did. And now they say, we made a mistake.

We're no longer going to consider race and gender to boost diversity when granting contracts. and stop collecting demographic data when assessing financing eligibility. So it's going to stop using the term D-E-I. Walmart has learned somehow. Conversion. I'm not going to be woke anymore. Why?

Because consumers don't want that. And if you keep it up, they're not going to shop. We're in the Walmart. So they're not. Here's the quote from Walmart. We've been on a journey. Oh, isn't that precious? And no, we aren't perfect.

But every decision comes from a place of wanting to foster a sense of belonging to open doors, opportunities for all our associates, customers, and suppliers. And it'd be a Walmart for everyone. That's so nice. Isn't that nice? Opportunities for everyone. All I want when I go in there is two. I don't really want an opportunity from all one. I just want soap.

Okay, smart life on this subject. So, as you know, we have a concierge membership to Bill O'Reilly.com, and I set that up because Americans need help sometimes. We all need help sometimes. And some of our support systems aren't there for various reasons. And so I said, look, I'll set up a club. A concierge membership is basically a club, where people have problems or want more information about something.

I have a direct line to me, and within 24 hours, we'll get back and we'll tell you what we can do for you. Now, 90% of the questions, the problems are legitimate. And I feel so sorry for people who get sick and they have financial problems and they have family problems, but that is life. Everybody has them. And my job is to try to figure out how to help you. And we're pretty good at it.

I got a guy Nick Beardy who works with me. He's a primary concierge guy. He's really good. And we've helped thousands of people, whatever it may be. But I got a letter today from Alaska, a small town in Alaska, and a guy goes, I need an insurance agent, can you recommend one? So I'm on Long Island. He's in Alaska.

I've been to Alaska three times. Stunning. Got to go. Okay. But I don't know any insurance agents in Alaska. I don't know any. But they're there. So we reply back.

You got to find it yourself. You've got to find him or her yourself. And you do that. Here's how you do that. You talk to people. You know. And you say, hey, who's your agent? And then you go and you talk to that person.

And you get quotes, written quotes. And then you talk to another one and another one. And then you make a decision. It took me six months. I dumped Allstate, okay? Sorry Allstate, but it was ridiculous. I had no claims and you rocketed my premiums on everything because you lost my during COVID. No. So we did a detective search and we found out, I'm not going to tell you

what the new company is because they may not be any good. I just hired them a few months ago. But all of they got, because it was ridiculous, absurd. They couldn't explain it. But I knew what they were doing. But I put my people on it. It took us six months to find a company that look good, better business bureau, all of that, and their rates were, they're still high, but they're not close to being exploitative. That's how you do it. But when you become a premium and concierge, in this case, smart life, know that I'm not omipotent. I don't know in Montana who the best Uber driver is in Great Falls. I just don't know. I'm not. So use your access to me in a way where we can help you.

And we hope you, for Christmas, what a fabulous gift to give somebody, especially if they're having a hard time. You know, Bill O'Reilly.com, concierge membership. Okay, Epic Times. You know this newspaper, Epic Times? So it's a nonprofit. They say it's nonpartisan, but it's conservative. And they publish daily, weekly, all bunch of stuff.

Now, I don't read it every day, but I have read enough of it, and they do very interesting subjects. Of course, when any newspaper writes anything, I have my people check it. I don't quote from any newspaper, ever. But Epic Times, you know, they got my attention. And it's run by a group of Chinese who were persecuted by the communists and got here, the land of opportunity, and set this Epic Times. up. Anyway, I'm telling you this because they wrote a review of confronting the presidents. Very rare. The establishment corporate media is jealous of me. I'm the best-selling nonfiction author in the world. They blacked me out. Totally. Here's what the average time said quote

about confronting the president. The authors do a remarkable job of going beyond what's traditionally known about presidents. Peel away the veneer of heroism and prestige common in school history books and highlight the humanity of each commander-in-chief. All 44 presidents portrayed had strengths, weaknesses, character flaws that shape their character and actions. Many readers may be learning about these for the first time. And we're very flattered to have the Epictomics review. And it just shows me that the independent media, again, we did this early.

Corporate media is so corrupt. I've given up on him. I've given up on them. You can't, you're just not going to be able to convert them back to fairness and reality. But The Epic Times, thank you. CBS, Paul, do you approve of the Trump cabinet picks? 59% say yes, 41% disapprove. That's basically, you know, the election over, the,

41% they don't know. They just don't like Trump. But that's a pretty good number for Trump. Robert Kennedy Jr. do approve good pick 47, not good 34. Don't know 19. Tulsi Gabbard, good 36, not good 27. Haven't heard enough. 36. Pete Hegseth, good 33, not good, 28. Haven't heard enough, 39. Okay, there we go. CBS poll. Progressives, in search of a new lead I was going to run a this is out of the hill hill is a decent thing if you want to read some columns so it's a column on a hill progressives begin search for new leader they don't have a leader and I don't see one Bernie Sanders no okay he's 112 years old aOC no I mean I'm sorry She's a fellow Boston University alum, but no.

So there's nobody there to lead the progressives, not the Democrat, the progressives. And so that column is up today. Progressive Media, MSNBC, I just heard Mick talk about it a little bit. Their numbers are cascading downward. MSNBC, Joe and Mika delivered their lowest rated program, 2554. in four years, okay, and nobody likes them anymore because they went to see Trump. Now, I am going to predict and start my prediction cycle all over again. ABC News is going to have to dump out of the view.

ABC News controls the view now. They can't do that anymore. It's ruining the brand. So ABC Entertainment, Disney will order this, we'll take over the view. View gets about two and a half million people every day. They haven't dropped Mitch audience since the election. It's just liberal women watching them. All right, immigration defiance.

We reported last week the mayor of Boston, Ms. Wu, and the mayor of Denver, Mike Johnson, and to some extent the mayor of Chicago. All say they are going to use, there's Johnson and Denver, use city resources, city cops, all right, other resources they have, resources they have to block any deportations ordered by the federal government.

That's what they said. Okay, so this is a violation of federal law, U.S. Code 1503. Okay? The law prohibits any act that corruptly or by threats, force, or intimidation influence, obstructs or impede the due administration of justice from the federal government. It is a felony to obstruct a federal investigation. Ten years in prison. Keep that in mind. So I used to live in Denver. Many of you know, I worked at KMGH TV out there, two years. Loved it. Totally different city and state, Colorado, than it is now. It's been overwhelmed by left-wingers. One of the big left-wingers is Mike Johnson, the mayor of Denver, and who said, I'm going to use cops to stop the feds from coming in and deporting migrants who are in. in Denver. Okay. So then Channel 9 out there in Denver interviewed the mayor and here's what

happened. Go. It sounds to me like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? Would I have taken it back if I could? Yes. I probably wouldn't have used that image because I don't, that's the image I hope we can avoid. What I was trying to say is this is an outcome I hope we can avoid in this country. I think none of us want that. Well, you're not going to avoid it. And if you try anything, Mr. Mayor, with all due respect, and this goes out to Mayor Wu in Boston and any other mayor, if you try, I'm going to call for your arrest. And I think the new Attorney General, Pambandi, will have you arrested

and prosecuted. That's it. Very simple message. You stand in the way of ICE agents going in to deport migrants under the order of the federal government. You're going to get arrested and prosecuted. That's all. Smart life. So weather is a problem here and could be global warming as possible. My weather guy, Joe Bastardi, says no. But Bastardi, I've known for a long time.

He runs a weather outfit called weatherbell.com. So we recommend if you are traveling, smart life segment, anywhere in the next week, you check in with weatherbell.com. It's already saved me from disaster in the Caribbean two weeks ago. It's going to go to an island and it's six inches of rain and winds at 40 miles per hour. So he's going to go, I don't know if that's a good idea. Thank you, Joe. I don't want you to get in an avalanche somewhere in Wyoming, right? So before you go anywhere, weatherbell.com, write it down, smart life.

All right, here's the final thought of the day. So I'm in charge, you know, which is pretty frightening, if you think about it. So I have three corporations. And when I worked for Fox News, 20 years plus, and when I worked as a correspondent for ABC News and CBS News, and when I anchored inside edition, I wasn't in charge, all right? There were people who were my superiors, and I was always a rebel, always, you know, I never go-along guy. I did what I thought was right. And I was a success in all of those places, with the exception of C-E-Rowell.

CBS News under Dan Rather, and I'll, someday I'll write about that with that. I couldn't cut through the corruption there. I couldn't. But ABC was a great experience. But anyway, I'm the boss now. So I say to my crew, and it's a good crew, you know, let's do this, let's do that. I'm not a martinet. Word of the day, another word of the day, Jeune, Martinette.

I am not a martinette. But if I want something done, you've got to continue. convince me it's not a good thing. I'll listen, but you've got to have facts. So I came up with this not woke concept. The reason I did was there's so many people frustrated that they couldn't debate issues, important issues to them, to everybody, because they would be derided and they'd be yelled at and scorned and they may lose their job and the teacher might give them a bad great and I said I got to find a vehicle a real simple way to get a message across in a funny humorous way and I came up with it the not woke gear this is just fun so put my picture up there

in the polo I wear this polo out and people know it's me most of them all right but everybody Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? All right. You'll make a lot of friends. There's a polo. We got the T-T, the T-shirt. All right.

Now, the holiday, the Teradog, won't go to sleep without the T-shirt over her. But it's so much fun because you'll have people walk up to you and I'll have a conversation with you. I haven't heard any reports of people saying anything bad. Okay, they don't do that. They just go, no, whoa, what does that mean? Or where did you get that? you know it's a lot of fun and one of the best items is the mug and this is all three items the polo the tea in the mug the greatest christmas gifts because they're not expensive you know if

somebody's done you a solid or you got somebody working for you or this or not you just want to give them something they're like this is great so that's what i came up with this thing so i wanted to bring down the uh political tension in the country and now that traditional have won the election in the form of Donald Trump and the Republican Congress. This is a tradition win. It's not so much a Republican Party win. This is a traditional vote. We don't want all this woke stuff that is really limiting our freedoms and doing things that we don't approve of. So we're not woke. And everybody is still celebratory. There'll be three weeks tomorrow. They're still, but you don't want to be obnoxious.

Well, some do, but I, just have a little humor here, not woke. All right. So check that out. I'm bill o'Reilly.com, and we appreciate it. So the schedule this week is I will be here tomorrow, and then we're going to give my staff off the rest of the week for Thanksgiving. We will be here a full week next week, a full week of the week after, and a full week the week after that.

And then it's Christmas already. I can't believe it, but it's a very short Christmas run-up this year. Busy, you won't even believe it. I mean, it's just crazy busy because you get to do a lot of stuff. When you run into corporations, you get to a lot of year-end stuff. You business people know that. But anyway, we're going to, because there's going to stuff happen. I was hoping it would slow down a little bit, the news cycle.

Not going to slow down. It's just too much intensity here. And overseas, we're watching Ukraine. We're watching a Russia-Ukraine thing. All right, a lot of stuff going on. So we will be here. All right, just wanted you to let you know that. Thank you for watching and listening to the no-spin news tonight.

We'll see you tomorrow.
