So the talking point's memo is about a vice president Harris's media tour finally. Finally, the pressure became so intense on the Harris campaign. They had to go out. Talk to somebody, right? So they get the hard stuff out of the way. 60 minutes, which really wasn't that hard. However, I'm a fair man. Bill Whitaker, the CBS News correspondent, he did a fairly good job. He wasn't as tough as I would have been, but he asked the pertinent questions. She didn't answer him, and he pushed at some point,

but he didn't define, and I'll explain that. So, Kamala Harris goes in, she knows that CBS news is friendly territory, because they're all friendly territory with the exception of Fox and newsmax, to a lesser extent. So the first question that Whitaker has is about all these promises, you know, oh, we're going to do this, we're going to spend that, we're going to do this, roll it. But it is estimated by the Nonpartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget that But your economic plan would add $3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade. How are you going to pay for that?

Okay, so the other economists that have reviewed my plan versus my opponent and determined that my economic plan would strengthen America's economy, his would weaken it. But pardon me, Madam Vice President, the question was, how are you going to pay for it? Well, one of the things is I'm going to make sure that the rich among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share and taxes? No, I mean, how many times are she going to just roll that out? Number one, Whitaker is saying, and did say, because I cut that down, the Congress is never going to pass all this insane spending.

There's no way on earth that Congress is going to okay the Harris administration, if she wins, writing a $25,000 check the first-time homebuyers. That's not not going to happen. And it's unconstitutional because it excludes most of the U.S. population from the government largesse. So it's never in a million years going to happen. Harris, whether she knows it or not, I don't know if she's smart enough to know it. And I'm not saying that in a mean way.

But she has not demonstrated any insight into how this country runs. by the rich people can afforded their pay their official. You're never going to cover it, even if you got it through Congress, which you'll never do, okay? You're never going to be able to cover that, the amount of money that you want to spend. I mean, $3 trillion, and it goes up and up and up and up, and up, you just can't do it.

Okay. So that was number one, and I thought Whitaker did a good job, push, push, push. I would have said at the end, with all due respect, no matter how high you raise taxes on corporations and on affluent individuals, you can't cover. You can't come close to covering. And not only that, but the Biden administration has added more than $7 trillion in national debt in three and a half years. You think that's good? Let's see what she says.

Now, she'd probably blame it on COVID, but I don't even know if she would think that fast. Second question, okay? Flip-flops. go let me tell you what your critics and the columnists say okay they say that the reason so many voters don't know you is that you have changed your position on so many things you are against fracking now you're for it you supported looser immigration policies now you're tightening them up you're for medicare for all now you're not so many that people don't truly know what you believe or what you stand for, and I know you've heard that.

In the last four years, I have been Vice President of the United States, and I have been traveling our country, and I have been listening to folks, and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. I believe in building consensus. That's just gibberish, okay? You either have core beliefs or you don't. So you sign on with Bernie Sanders to a Medicare for all bill. All right.

That means government controls the health system, top to bottom in this country. And then you don't like it. You signed on the bill, but a few years later when you're running for president, you don't like it anymore. Why? Well, I talk to a lot of people and I want consensus. Well, there is no consensus. Okay, the people who support you and Bernie Sanders want the government to run. All right?

It's not like 90% of Americans are going, we don't want the government to run the health care industry. A lot of them do. They vote Democrat. They're liberal. They want a big government apparatus. But what she does is she doesn't answer. It doesn't even attempt to answer the question about fracking. If she would say, look, I changed my opinion on fracking because I have to win Pennsylvania,

and that's a big industry. So that's why I changed it. Okay? At least you can respect the honesty. But no, she goes into the land of gibberish because that's where she's where. she lives. She lives there. Third one, and this is the most outrageous, and this is where I would have gotten a little bellicose. Word of the day, had I been Whitaker. Go. There was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your

administrations. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did? It's a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions. That is simply not true. It's not even close to being true. You cannot justify that statement. Whitaker should have, bang, give me one solution you've offered in the first year of the Biden administration. Give me one because she always falls back on. Oh, Trump killed the immigration bill that Charles Schumer ginned up early this year. That's what she always said. Give me one that you did in the first year. That is a solution to the open

border. She couldn't do it. Whitaker booted it. He booted it. it because he didn't anticipate the boldness of the lie. That, what she just said from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions, is about the biggest falsehood I have heard from any politician in the last decade. And you know it. Everyone knows it. You can't justify it. You can't even point to anything.

And certainly she could. wouldn't. So if Whitaker really wanted to crush her, which he did not, CBS did not want to crush her, he would have said, give me one, like I would have done, like you would have done. You don't have to be trained. Journalists, when you hear something like that, give me an example. Give me one. In the first year, the Biden-Harris administration, give me one solution to the open border. About seven, eight million foreign nationals traipsed in here that first year. What was your solution to it? You didn't have one. need him a try. Now, when I watch that, I got to tell you, oh, yeah, I was just, I take it too

personally because I'm in the business. All right. So as you get through the 60-minute interview, I don't, look, the people who support her, they're going to support her no matter what, okay? I think a lot of the Biden voters, 81 million, are going to stay home. I can't see Harris get much more than 70 million. I can't popular vote because she doesn't have a grasp of the issues or even an understanding of them. 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.

I'm Miranda Devine. host columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay. She's purely a face candidate. Put her out. The wise guys behind, and it's the same

Biden crew, by the way, and if some Obama's sprinkled in, we'll run the government. You just look good and get out there and just spout, it's all for Trump's fault, it's all this, spout fair share, just keep saying that. We'll run stuff. All right, then she shows up on the view today. Now, we all know what that is, okay? And I don't object to that program. I object to it being under the banner of ABC News.

I think it'd be smirches ABC News to have that. It should be an entertainment program because that's what it is. They have no interest in covering the news. They love Kamala Harris. And they have a perfect right to love Kamala Harris. All right, that's who they are. Ms. Goldberg, Behar, the whole panel, they're all left-wingers, they're all liberals, because their life, their lives, their social activities are all tied up in that left-wing Manhattan world. All right, their whole lives.

They can't get out of it even if they wanted to, and they don't want to. So it was a smooch fest, it would cupcake questions, except for one. Roll it. If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years? There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact. There you go. I take that sentence, if I were the Trump campaign and just run it all over the place on the TV ad. I wouldn't have done anything different than Biden.

Biden's approval rating, okay, before he got out of the race, it's 37%. And that woman would have done nothing differently. And she answered honestly. Harris answered that question honestly. Because in her mind, Biden Harris, that was great. We were great. We are great. She really believes that.

Just like the moonies believe that's moon, the guy who runs the cold, he's the greatest guy. I'm going to go out and devote my whole life to getting money for moon. I'm a mooney. They believe it. Anyway, the rest of it is, what are you going to do? That is going to continue to November 5th. They're going to go into the friendlies. They got the 60 Minutes thing, and she can say,

oh, I went on 60 Minutes. Okay. This campaign that Kamala Harris is involved with is exactly like Warren Harding's campaign. I have mentioned this before, but there is a reason I am doing this. So there's Harding. 1920, he's elected president. He defeats a guy named Cox and FDR as a VP. and he goes in to the White House because American people were fed up with Woodrow Wilson

and the Democrats after eight years, World War I, they had enough of them. So Harding doesn't answer one single question, all right? No interviews, nothing. Nobody knows anything about the man. He's a former newspaper editor from Ohio. He gets into the Senate. He's a machine politician. Republicans doesn't have anybody.

He said, ah, Warren looks okay. Let's get Warren in there. So Warren is elected. And again, doesn't answer any questions. And nobody knows if he's out of philosophy, how he sees the world, nothing. He is a disaster of epic proportions to use a cliche. He's stupid. He does nothing.

He plays cards and drinks all night with his corrupt friends who he gives jobs to and they steal money. He chases his mistress around inside the world. White House while his wife is upstairs and he dies. Some people believe his wife killed him. I lay it out in good front of the president. I don't really believe it, but it's an amusing tale. No autopsy aren't warrant. So the reason I'm telling you, this is exactly the same thing, but much more serious now, 104 years later. Okay. So Harding, When you read Conferting the Presidents, and I hope you do, I mean, it would add so much to your life to really understand your country.

When you read about how, you get out, how could a nitwit like this getting elected? It's the same exact thing going on today. Oh, I just, I'm like that. All right. Finally, Kamala Harris is a very disciplined woman. I got to say something good about her, I guess. To be fair, she's on message. You cannot blow her off of that message.

You can't. Fair share. Trump did everything bad. Biden did everything good. I'm going to get all this stuff. I'm going to give you money for this, that, blah, blah, blah, blah. Never deviates. When you get her off the prompter, when you ask her something unexpected, she can't answer.

But she has memorized the talking points. And she just spouts them. No matter what you ask, she's coming back. That's disciplined. And that's the exact opposite of Donald Trump, who is undisciplined in his messaging. Trump has a much better story to tell, much better, even with all the crazy election stuff and all of that, just policy. But he's undisciplined. Harris is, boom.

right there. And that's the memo. USA Today, this is a big poll, say, went to 3,113 counties across the country. I'm taking this off the top of my head, but I believe Trump carried when he lost to Biden 75% of all counties in America. I think that's the number. It's around there somewhere. So USA Today went out, and Gannett, which owns USA Today, they're rooting for Kamala Harris, just so you know. So 3,113 counties, 500 likely voters in each state, that's a big crew. Okay? And they basically surveyed the electoral situation, but they didn't release that yet.

What they did release, it's 73% of all the counties, more than 3,000, have become more partisan from 2012 to 20. I think we knew that, but that's what USA has spent its money for. Nah, that's it. The rest of them is pretty much same. All right, let's bring in Donald Trump's pollster. A guy named John McLaughlin. You've seen him before in the No Spin News, Straight Shooter. CEO and part of McLaughlin Associates. Okay.

Now, you have internal polling, which Trump pays you for. And what's the latest? We don't release it. I know, but I'm your pal. You're just telling me, no one else. No one's going to hear it. But if I tell you, you'll tell President Trump and then it'll leak. I won't tell President.

Actually, yeah, we feel pretty good. By the way, right now we feel cautiously optimistic. And let me tell you, compared to 2016, when Hillary was at, you know, she was ahead this point, like, by five or six points. And, you know, you had polls back then that had her up seven or whatever. And then we talked about the Hillary lot. They had one, CBS on October 16th. They had her up 11.

NBC had her up seven. That was November 6th. before the election. And we ended up pulling out an electoral college victory. This is in 2016. So Trump's numbers are stronger. How about 20, though? 20 was worse. You had the Biden blue wave, remember? And at this point, they had Biden up 51 to 42 in the National Popular Valley. Now, granted, it was four points. But even then, you had October 11th, you had polls, so areas up 52, 40. you had double-digit leads.

And NBC again had them up on Halloween, October 31st. It was 52-42. Economist, U-Gov, U-Gov does CBS polling out. They had them up 10 and 5342. So the national popular vote, to the extent it's, you know, related to the electoral college, you know, you had these big leads and they were trying to, I think they were trying to suppress our vote. Okay. Now, you know my mantra is people believe what they want to believe, all right?

you know that. I made it quite clear that we live in that kind of a country now where a lot of people, facts don't matter. I want to believe it. I'm going to believe it. So I'm of the mind because I think Trump thinks he's ahead. Now, he didn't tell me that directly, but I'm getting that impression not only from the former president, but from people close in his inner circle. They think they're ahead that they're going to win. Is that what? you're getting because you work for them. Well, we are cautiously optimistic, but we're running like underdogs. I tell you the thing that happened with the hurricanes, because you're talking, what we're afraid of is censorship. We lost the race in 2020 because when the story came out

about the Hunter Biden laptop, they censored it. Yeah, I know. Censored. Right. So you can't censor a hurricane, John. Here it is, you know. Can't do that. But they would. But they would, you know, were censoring the parts about the money from FEMA wasn't there because they've been taking care of illegal immigrants. And, you know, remember the coverage that you had during Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy, where Sandy, you know, was Obama coming in with the money and the hugs and everything like that. And you've got a situation where Trump went into Valdosta a week ago today before Biden got to Georgia, before Biden got to North Carolina, before Kamala Harris, she was flying back after a fundraiser on the West Coast. And people were

suffering. And now we got to make sure a lot of those parts, a lot of those parts of those states are Republican areas. We've got to make sure they can vote. And then in Florida, God bless the people down there where Governor DeSantis is telling people to appear to get out of the way. It's going to be bad. And, you know, you're going to hit plenty of Republican areas in a Republican state. Yeah, it is. It is. But it's not an old. overwhelming Republican state like Mississippi or Alabama, Florida. Look, I don't think these storms, as bad as they are, are going to affect people going to the polls. I just don't. In four weeks,

you're going to have some stability down there. Now, if Biden diverted money away from hurricane relief to another pet project, I want to see the data on that. And that'll be huge if that happens. Last question for you. You know real clear politics keeps an average, your daily average of everything. And they got today electoral college 281 to 257, Trump wins. You need 270 to win.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. So, and when you look at the, when you look at the latest polling on the swing states, most of them Trump is winning by one or two.

Is that what you have? That is very close. But you know what? You should also, our electoral vote total would go up if you put in Nevada or they don't have us winning Michigan or Wisconsin. And it's really close to it. Trump was there four times in the last week in Wisconsin. But they don't have Michigan and Wisconsin in our column.

They don't have Nevada in our column. And they do have Pennsylvania. It's too close in those states. And Pennsylvania, too. That's not in your column, is it? Yeah, that one's in the column. That's why we're at 281. Oh, is all right.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? But it's still close. But those early mail-in ballots from in the four states that are in the targeted battleground states, they're coming in now, but they're not coming as high as they did in 2020. Democrats still have an advantage. But Republicans, I think the early in-person vote's going to be high. And that means like mid-October to late October, we really have to be pushing our vote in the early in-person voting because. One more question. Do you get data when people send it? the ballots do both campaigns know which way those ballots are leaning yes from when the secretary of states and those states make it public so there is public but that's only made public after election day right not before no no they get counts depending upon the state different states are really good at it and some are so they'll release early so this on this

day say let's say October 26th in pennsylvania here's what the mail and ballots are showing that's possible you might get that data yes both campaigns have that data right now and they're pushing people who have say requested absentees that we think of trump owes to go vote okay and the same same from the democrats they do their side that's all right we're going to check in with you in two weeks and then once more before election day and we really appreciate john i sent john a free sign book that he can sell on ebay for a lot of money if you wants to uh i'm reading your book Can you tell me which president was court-martial? Johnson, Andrew Johnson.

No. Who? No. He went through an impeachment hearing. Who? Abraham Lincoln was court-martial. In the Black Hawk War? You got it, exactly.

His troops ran. Okay. Right. But that was a little obscure for us. He kind of overcame that. You just had to. By the way. I think he was 12.

But it was, he got sentenced to carrying a wooden sword. There you go. I got, I got sentenced for that the other day. I had to carry a wooden sword around. All right, John. Thanks very much. We appreciate it. Seriously, it's a great book because you got a lot of it.

I appreciate a guy like you who knows everything about politics. If you really liked it, that's a nice compliment. I appreciate it. I don't want to be repetitive, but the story is what they call evolving. So the big mistake that she made, Kamala Harris made, who's in the most unlikely place, the view where Sonny Hosten asked for this. Go. If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?

There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact. No. Wouldn't have done anything different. So we're talking. Open borders, catastrophe. terrible inflation, catastrophe, embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan, hurt us immeasurably overseas, and empowering Iran to fund terrorism all over the Middle East. And the Democratic presidential candidate says, it's okay. I wouldn't do anything differently. What do you say?

What do you say to that? Now, if you know someone who's going to vote for Kamah Harris, just ask of that simple question, her or him, that simple question. She wouldn't do anything differently. Does that, is that okay with you? Does that stack up with you? They'll go, I hate Trump. It's what it is. That's what it is. Now, Harris is a disciplined person as I write in my message of today on bill o'Reilly.com today. She's disciplined. She memorizes stuff and spits it out. She wasn't expecting that Hostin question and booted it totally. She didn't have a rehearsed answer for that. And she couldn't think on her feet quick enough.

All she had to do is say, look, in every situation you can improve, in every situation in life and politics, you can improve. That's all she had to say. And then if they went in, specifically, what would you improve on? Then she could have said, well, I would have basically hoped that we could have have kept the prices down. But she could have dodged all that, and the view ladies never would have pinned her. All right, joining us now from Washington, D.C., is the editor, Washington editor of The Spectator, which is a right-leaning magazine, Amber Duke. She is the author of

the book Snowflakes Revolt, How Woke Millennials Hijacked the American Media. And since Ms. Duke is an expert. If you researched this book on the media, I want to get her impressions of what has happened. 60 Minutes, Colbert, The View, Howard Stern. Did any of that matter at all to the country? No, it didn't. And in fact, I think it actually made things worse for Kamala Harris and her campaign, because as you pointed out, that disastrous answer she gave on the view, that is already being cut up into Trump ads that they are going to be running in the swing states. just released the first cut of it today. And we also see that not a lot of people are really even tuning in.

So even though Americans say they want to know more about Kamala Harris, about a fifth of voters say they're not really sure what exactly it is she stands for, the more they see of her, the less interested they get. And so the audiences continue to shrink. She has waited way too late in the game to be doing this kind of media blitz. If we look at the call her daddy podcast interview bill, that got about 400,000 views. similar episodes on that podcast that performed better than Kamala Harris. The current vice president are things like Leah's Love Island Tell All and Megan Fox's

plastic surgery story. If her campaign is looking at those numbers, they have to be very, very concerned. Okay. It does get out, though, Amber, you know that. It's all over the place and people cruise into different areas. But they don't get any definition. about who Kamala Harris is. But I think that's what the Democratic Party wants. They don't want the voter. Yeah, they don't want the voter to know how far left this woman is. And the second

thing is that she's a machine politician. She doesn't really understand the world. She doesn't have creative problem solving abilities. She's a machine politician. It's always been that way. promoted by the Democratic machine in California, and then into Washington in the national democratic machine. And you can see that all along the line. She doesn't have the discipline to figure out, here's the problem and here's how to solve it. So they don't want a definition of her, correct?

That's true. That's a strategy. I think the question is whether it's a good strategy. And based on the fact that she is even doing this much media 30 days out from the election, when originally they wanted to keep her as shielded from the press as possible for good reason, because clearly she's not capable of thinking on her feet. That suggests to me that the internals of the campaign, meaning the internal polling, is much worse than what we're seeing in the public polls. They realize that she's got to make up some ground somewhere. And her campaign has been telling places like New York Magazine and the New Yorker that their strategy in North Carolina is to get rural Republicans to vote for her.

sounds like desperation. Obviously, you're not going to be able to cut into Trump's base as Kamala Harris in 2019 or 2024. It doesn't matter which one. She's already struggling with the Democratic base in terms of black men and Hispanic men. The strategy is there. They don't want her to be defined, but is it working? No, I don't think so. Okay, final point. We just learned before airtime that Vice President Harris is taking the lead on Hurricane Milton. She will be calling in to CNN, all right, and I'm not criticizing CNN because if she said, look, I'll call into the O'Reilly broadcast, and we reached five times as many people as CNN, all right, I would say, sure, have her call in. but she's going to take the lead about explaining what the Biden-Harris administration is doing to help with Hurricane Milton.

She's making the call in, not Biden. So it seems to me now that the White House has decided that she's the president as of tomorrow because that's when she's going to start. Does that stack with you? That's definitely what they're trying to do. They want to give the perception of her having exactly. executive experience, but the problem that's obvious to so many people is what has she been doing over the past three and a half years. Is this the first time that she's made an attempt to call

Florida Governor Ronda Santis before a hurricane? Because I can promise you, Florida has had plenty of hurricanes before Milton. I mean, arguably none is severe, but now she is going to stand on the tarmac and accuse him of playing politics. Where was Kamala Harris when Hurricane Helene hit? She was doing a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday night. after there had already been six tornadoes spotted across southeastern North Carolina. She didn't fly back into the White House until Monday afternoon after she taped that call her daddy podcast. So her in-person briefing was basically three days after the hurricane touchdown in Florida and

moved its way up through the southern United States. The idea that she's going to run point on Milton is ludicrous. All right. Well, she's going to do it. All right, Amber, we appreciate it. Check out her book, The Snowflakes Result. how woke millennials hijacked the American media, Amber Duke. Okay, Vice President nominee Tim Walz said something.

That's not surprising. This was at Gavin Newsom's fundraiser at his private residence, Governor Newsom. Wall said this, quote, I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need national popular vote. But that's not the world we live in. Well, thank God, that's not the world we live in because then Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago would dominate every election.

The genius of the Constitution is that the Founding Fathers saw the big urban situations, being able to overwhelm the rest of the country. And that's why the electoral vote was put in. Walsh doesn't want it. He doesn't want the Senate filibuster. He doesn't want the Supreme Court at nine. These are radical leftists, totalitarian people.

They don't want any of this. Democracy business. Oh, my God. New York City, totally chaos, total. $2.3 billion just on migrant housing. $2.3 billion. They don't have it. And the feds are going to have to put money into New York City to pay these bills.

And that's from the Biden open border. And Kamala Harris goes, I can't think of anything I'd do differently. Hey, lady, you're bankrupting not only New York, but cities all across the country. Can't afford to pay for 15 million foreign nationals. 2.3 billion. And if you go to New York City and I got to go there tonight, it's $1,000. filthy, dirty, all right? It's congested all over the place. It's crime-ridden. Social services have disappeared because the money that goes into sanitation has, they don't have any money.

All right. Taylor Swift, smart life. I like Taylor Swift. I like Taylor Swift. If she's, Trump says he hates her, I don't, that's not nice. So Taylor Swift says she's donating $5 million to help hurricane relief efforts. She's giving the money to a nonprofit group called Feeding America. Well, good for her. Good for her. Five million feeding America to those affected by Helene and Milton. Good. Now, you, I get lots of letters from people, good people, generous people, patriots. I want to help.

And my smart life advice is this, wait. And I said the same thing after 9-11. Remember the 9-11 charity thing and the telephon and all that, where I had to go mono-a-mono up against that idiot George Clooney? because the money donated by you wasn't getting to the victims of 9-11, their families. Remember that? Boy, if you weren't around for that, you need to Google that thing. And I want it, but boy, was it brutal to pry the money out of these agencies like the United Way in particular, to get the money to the folks who needed it. And then I didn't get any help from these hot shot movie stars who are just, I can't even tell you.

Not all of them. I mean, Stallone and Eastwood and those people, they were on my side, but most of them were not. Anyway, Smart Life Today, 2024. Wait, let's see how this aid chain unfolds. There are a number of organizations that are down there, private, that are setting up help. When you hear of one, and you will be solicited, because there's going to be a lot of fraud in this, too. Remember, millions of dollars are going to be pumped into these areas to help folks. And whenever you have that, the fraudsters show up, people who steal the money.

Go to charity navigator.org. That's the bet. They're good. And throw in the name of the charity you're interested in giving. And they'll pop up how effective these charities are. A lot of them are front-loaded. with huge salaries for their executives. But wait, okay, and I know it's hard because everybody's emotionally want to help, but it's better to be calculated to see that your hard-earned donations go to where they should go.

We live in an evil world here. It's an evil world. Now the fraudsters are setting up phone calls, they're setting up internet stuff, they are running while. You have to be very cautious. Smart life. But good for Taylor Swift. Colorado Supreme Court dismisses a lawsuit against a baker who would not make a cake for a trans celebration. Guy's name is Jack Phillips. He's been here before. It's Christian. All right? And he doesn't want to make cakes for people that do things that don't conflate with his Christian beliefs. So Phillips had been sued.

This time around, somebody named Autumn Scardina sued him. This is a male, but he was born a male, wants to be a female, and she was celebrating that gender transition and wanted a cake. She knew Phillips wasn't going to bake the cake because he had been in the news for the gay weddings. So Autumn Scardina knew it, wanted to go in and cause trouble. Supreme Court has thrown the case out. saying that it was filed improperly, detecticality.

Bottom line on this is, if you have a belief system, a religious-based system, the marketplace cannot force you to go against your belief system. The Supreme Court has ruled it. Here's a final thought of the day, Amazon, which moves a lot of books, has reviews. You can read the view. Now, the reviews, some of them, people don't read the book.

They don't buy the book, but Amazon still lets them post. And I hate that, but that's Amazon's rules. So you always get that initial wave of hate. But now, three weeks out, 84% of the reviewers from the folks on Amazon's sake confronting the president's is a great book. 84%. There you go. You know, that means more to me than the New York Times bestseller list.

I want you to get your money's worth on the book. And the audio, too, the audio way up there on the bestseller audio list. Because I know you're busy and you're running around, but boy, you plug that into your car, little headphone thing and all that. you learn a lot while you're going wherever you're going, okay? You jogging or you gym or you're physical and mental at the same time with the audio stuff. So we're very proud of confronting the presidents. It's really a good book.

And if you read it, as I say, you'll know more than 90% of your fellow American citizens. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News. See you again on Monday.
