First of all, I tell everybody that Donald Trump can recover. Not all is lost, all right? And that will happen, his recovery will happen, if the Republican Party and the candidate himself changes course. sorry same old isn't going to work okay so here's a vivid example of how to do that the former president's main theme on Tuesday night was the open border catastrophe and that's true anybody defending that open border you got to be mad or so blinded by partisanship you're not worth even considering he brought it up seven times trumped it but he never

never nailed it emotionally. So here's how he could have done that. Very early in debate, when David Muir or whoever, Lindsey Davis, asked him a question. All Donald Trump had to do, we say, I'll get to that question in a moment, but something is really bothering me tonight while I stand on this stage, and I want to apologize to the family of Lake and Riley in Georgia for the murder of her daughter, allegedly by an undocumented migrant from Venezuela. I want to apologize on behalf of the United States to you, the Riley family. And I would like the vice president, he turns and looks at her, to do that as well.

stunning over brings home the catastrophe of the open board in a vividly personal way now is Kamala Harris

going to apologize throws her off her game puts her on the defense and if she ignores Trump's entreaty he brings it back he goes you know now would be a good time

for you apologize or David are going to ask if the vice president is going to apologize to the Riley family. This is how you control the debate. You become the narrator. You become the agenda setter. Trump was on the defense of all day long. He had to know. There's no excuse. Republicans are running around going, oh, it's three against one. Oh, no, no, no. What about you blather? I could have taken those three on in, you know, 30 seconds. There was isn't an intellect among those street people, the two moderators and the vice president. There's no intellect there. And they can do any shady thing they want. You just keep telling the audience what they're doing real time. You become the narrator, the controller of the debate.

Donald Trump didn't even come close to doing that. He allowed himself to go on the defensive, allowed himself to get baited, allowed himself to waste an incredible amount of time on stuff that doesn't matter. All right, the talking points memo this evening is what I did last night. So I was at an event for Joe Namis Charitable Foundation. And Namath is a friend of mine. I idolized him growing up. I wore white shoes playing college football, just like he did, playing pro football. And I've been fortunate enough to get to know him and call him a friend. And I support his Charitable Foundation, which helps athletes, mostly football players with brain injuries because of their play on the field.

It's a very worthy charity. Anyway, places packed on Long Island, packed. So I walk into the room and was introduced very nicely by a former New York jet, Greg Buttle. And the whole night I spent talking to people who came over and wanted pictures. And I like that. I like to talk to people. I mean, everybody asked me what I thought of the debate. And I said, look, watch the no spin news.

or listen to me on the radio and you know, but I want to know what you thought of the debate. And it was evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, the room. I mean, this was mostly sports room. It's a golf charity, that kind of thing. And the kickoff dinner was last night. I tell you what, I was surprised. There wasn't anybody in that room that approached me. And again, I had an even amount of Republicans and Democrats that was enthusiastic.

about that debate, or liked the debate, or felt the debate was worthy. No one, whether they were Trump supporters or Harris supporters, no one. And the reason is that Americans, unless you are poisoned with ideology, unless you are so hateful toward either candidate, most Americans are uncertain now. We've gotten hurt badly under Biden.

There's no question. Financially, working people got hammered and continue to get hammered and will continue. And if God help us, Kamala Harris has ever elected president, it's going to get worse. It's an uncertainty about it. Even the Democrats are very uncertain. They don't know what Harris, who she is or what she'll do. And it's all fine to say, oh, I want joy and I still retain my values. Well, your values, lady, are far, far left, much further left.

Biden. That's what your values are. That's what they have been since you started in San Francisco. Though of you, you know, my values haven't changed, that's scary. You're flip-flopping all over the place, but essentially you're going to go back to being a radical progressive. And the Democrats feel that, even though they hate Trump. So I'm going to tell you tonight something very important. I am pretty good at predicting. You all know that. In fact, I was thinking about changing my name to Nostradamus O'Reilly. Well, I don't know if that has a good flow.

So I accurately predicted, okay, that Trump would win in 16. I didn't predict Biden Trump in 20 because I knew it was just too razor thin. I accurately predicted that Biden would not run. Okay, you all know that. So if Kamala Harris is elected, I know what she will do. There's no doubt in my mind. I know. And I'm going to tell you, and hopefully there are some Republican big shots,

maybe even the former president, watching this evening. Because in order to win the election in November, the Republican Party has got a course correct. You can't keep doing this. you've got to become less Trump-centric. Not repudiate Trump, he's the guy, he's your man. You've got to support him. But it should be her, not him, because everybody knows him.

Number one, Tomlin Harris is elected, this country will go big time into equity. I'll remind you again what equity is, favoring certain groups. Okay? It's not E pluribus unum out of many one. No. It's this group gets more. This group gets treated special. She is the queen of equity. She is also a semi-socialist. What does that mean? It's not a Marxist. She doesn't even know what that is. A semi-socialist is somebody who wants to redistribute income to give the money the federal government acquires from working people and affluent people and corporations to the equity-favored groups. That's what it is. So to be this massive taxation has to be. If she's going to give people $25,000, put a down payment

on a home, if she's going to give everybody $6,000 if they have a kid, this is money, boom, This is trillions and trillions of dollars. We don't have that money. Okay? So she's got to go in and tax everybody. You say, oh, if you're a $400,000, that's a bunch of bull. Because once you tax a corporation or a company that's passed on to the consumer who buys the products from that company or corporation. Everybody knows that.

All right. But the Democrats will never acknowledge it. So equity, income, redistribution. That will get America, number one, more divided than it is now, more bitter as people are paying more for everything. And it will put us into a recession because there will be fewer jobs available. When the companies and corporations are taxed at 28% from 21, they're going to lay people off. Massive labels. And then the Democrats are going to have to increase the entitlements for the people who don't have a job. It becomes a socialistic state. Washington

controls the flow of dollars into the consumer's pocket. And again, it's all minority. So if you're a trans, you're Harry, and you want to be Sally, comma wants to pay for it with tax money. I got to pay for that operation. This is her value system. All right? 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, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day.

Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Then she's going to go into the criminal justice system and say she only has sway over federal crimes, but she can eliminate money going into cities, don't cooperate. You're going to say, look, we're going to redesign this whole thing. If you're a criminal and you steal less than $1,000, we're not going to prosecute you. That's what they do in California. It's a misdemeanor. You get a ticket. If you punch somebody in the face and break their nose and alter their life, we're not going to,

and there's going to be any bail, no bail. You're out after two hours. It's like you got pulled over for going through a red light. That'll accelerate. And we know that because of what she did after the George Floyd killing. All right? So these people were burning down and throwing things at police and beating the people up and looting. She tried to raise money to get them out.

That's who she is. That's her value system. All right? And then it extends overseas, one world government. One world. Obama tried this and he got killed on it. All right. We're not one world. We're the big dog, the United States. We have to control China and Russia and Iran, the jihad.

Germany's not going to do it. All right, they can help. But it's us. Harris doesn't want that. And Harris has to cut the military budget, has to, in order to get the money to pay for the trans operations and every other crazy progressive thing you've ever seen. And she'll be right on board with reparations for slavery. cash payments to African Americans because every African American a country is going to say, hey, I had an ancestor, came over from Africa and they were enslaved. You know how many trillions of dollars? That's going to cost. She's, that's her value. All right? Just add it up. And then the border.

You think she's going to inhibit the border? She's not. She's going to give amnesty to every single undocumented person here that hasn't committed a felony. That's what, that's her value system. Everybody gets amnesty. Now, if the Republican Party would take what I just told you in the last eight minutes and run ads, don't even mention Donald Trump. That's how you win both houses of Congress and the presidency. You want that?

Now, most of you know liberal people and Democrats will vote for Harris. If you're a premium or concierge member on bill o'Reilly.com, and I would advise you do this, just get a transcript of what I just said. You'll have it right in front of in writing. And just read it to these people. Is this what you want? Big unemployment boosts when the corporations and companies begin to lay people off because they've got to pay more tax?

Is that what you want? Because most people are in this ideological fog, and there's no direction. Television is corrupt as has ever been. It's a sewer. I mean, one of the reasons that Bill O'Reilly.com is so fabulously successful, I'm not bragging, I'm just stating. Because we don't do that garbage.

We're not in business to spin anything. What I just told you will absolutely happen. She will try to do it. And you can say, oh, O'Reilly, she's not going to control the Senate and the House. That's true. But by executive orders, she could do a lot of what I just told you.

And yeah, it'll be challenged, but this whole country will be one big, blanking mess. You think it was bad under Biden? Biden has no belief system at all other than he wants to go to the beach. That's his primary belief system. That's his values. I want to sit under the umbrella. All right? Harris, she is a progressive.

She will do as she's told because she's, not smart enough all right to execute policy she is but the people with her i mean just go down the list of her supporters you know who they are bernie sanders loves kamala harris loves her harris the most liberal out of 100 senators in the year 2019 she beat out every senator on the liberal front. This is what the Republican Party has got to get out, and they got enough money to do with these political action committees. And Trump at the end goes,

I'm Donald Trump, and I approve that message. If this continues, it's all about Donald Trump and his grievances, Harris will beat him. Republicans have to course correct now, and that's a memo. So joining us now from North Carolina is the aforementioned Bernard Goldberg. Even Bill O'Reilly. You had to sneak that even.

I should not have said even. The thing I was trying to get across, and I didn't do it well, was that of the three people, Mike Wallace, Tim Russard, and you, you were the only one I think. think you're the only one who's still alive. I know the other two aren't alive. I think you're alive, right? I mean, you're... Barely. Barely. So I said even, and I shouldn't have said it that way. Okay. But if you want to know, go ahead. I want to know, look, when you and I were coming up in journalism, the art of interviewing was pretty well-defined. You asked the toughest questions and you follow up if the person evades, as Barack Obama did. You know, I cited the AP poll.

I had that information at my fingertips because I knew he was going to say, oh, no, no, it wasn't there. You know, I knew it. Any good interview asked to anticipate what the answer is going to be the question. That's gone now. And I don't know why. Do you? It's because of something you said on a show within the last few months, that when people are asked to come on and be interviewed, the person who's doing the asking, the anchor, only wants to talk to people they already agree with. We've become so partisan that we don't sit down with people we don't agree with. And when you're sitting down with people you do agree with, you're not going to be tough with them. You're not going to ask. I don't understand that.

I've never in my life did I do an interview. And you can Google a O'Reilly Donald Trump interviews. It's the toughest interviews he's ever gotten. Never in my life did that enter my mind. And I don't know why it's entering the minds of these TV people now. I don't know why. Because we become partisan and we only like talking to people. As you said, that we already agree with.

Let me tell you the effects of this during a political campaign for the president. presidency. The column I wrote, by the way, asked the question, who the heck is Kamala Harris, which is a question you asked in the lead-in. She's been, after the coronation, when she became the nominee, without winning a single primary vote, it's been almost two months now. She hasn't done a single press conference, not one press conference. As bad as that is, what's worse is that there's no outrage from journalists. These are the same journalist bill who document every false move Donald Trump makes.

And I know a lot of people watching us love Donald Trump, and that's fine with me. But when he says something stupid, they report it. When he says something or does something dumb, they report it. If he scratches his rare end on the way to a rally, CNN does an hour-long special in prime time. that same media is not outraged

that for almost two months she hasn't done a single news conference no that's true but to be fair the new york times and the washington post to both chastise her in an editorial that she should do more but my focus isn't on a corporate pinheads all right we all know

that post and the times and all three networks are liberal and they want the democrat candidate to win. Everybody knows that. But the individuals, like Dana Bash, this was interesting. So Bash is the only interview with Kamala Harris, asked the questions, but doesn't follow up. All right, that's what the weakness of the interview was. So Harris can say anything she wants, and that'll probably be the case tonight in the debate. And then there's no follow-up,

or what are you dodging the question? Like I always say to my interview subject, when they don't answer directly, hey, you didn't answer the question. You want another shot at it? Or why won't you answer? Let me give you some behind-the-scenes stuff that you know very well. And you could either say I'm right or I'm wrong, but you know what I'm talking about. When you're sitting next to right in front of somebody that you're going to interview, you've got to be a certain kind of person to say, well, you're full of it in a nice, polite way, of course.

it isn't easy to do that I used to get geared up I used to tell myself they're paying you money to do this do it I mean I actually pump myself up before sitting down and doing a tough interview I did an interview

I'm the reporter at HBO's Real Sports who broke the story on concussions in the NFL the NFL was furious with the interview the doctor I interviewed, lost his job, or let's say he left his job after the interview because I nailed him. He said there was no connection between constant hits to the head and long-term mental problems. It isn't easy sitting face to face with somebody. Tell me if I'm right or wrong

about this and asking tough questions. And only some people, I would say, you for sure, and I hope you would agree that I'm one of them can do it, but it's not easy, Bill. Well, and I don't think that, Dana Bash, I don't think Danabash is one of those people with all due respect. Obviously, her answer was to the criticism, I can't force anybody to answer a question, which is true. That's absolutely true. You can tell the audience that the person isn't.

I have some genetic problem that I actually relevant. tough interview. When I walk into the room, I'm like a prize fighter, okay? I see my opponent, and if it's a informational interview, I'm going to get the information that I think has to be delivered to the folks. I like doing that. And when I developed a relationship, friendship maybe you could say, with Mike Wallace, he was of the same mind. He liked going into the Iowa Tola Homanie and looking at me and saying, it's not me, but everybody else says you're a murdering pig. You know, he liked that. I don't want to embarrass anyone. And I've interviewed five presidents. And all of them were asked the toughest questions and the follow.

But I like doing it. I guess I'm different. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine. New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States.

It's what you want from the New York Post

Let me give you one more example. I sat down with Vladimir Putin's good friend, who was the head of the Olympic Committee at Sochi a few years ago. And I stole, I didn't borrow, I stole what Mike Wallace did with the Ayatollah O'Mani when

he said, it's not me, Imam. It's not me. But Anwar Sadat says you're a lunatic. I mean, it was one of the great lines. of all time. Right. Right. And I said, I stole this for Mike Wallace. Again, I didn't borrow it. I stole it. I should have been arrested on the spot. I said, I forget the guy's name. He was a very nice guy. I said, forgive me. And I touched my chest. I said, this is not me talking. But your friend, Vladimir Putin, the president, he has critics who say he's like a mafia chieftain. your response and he got very angry all of it he was a very nice guy he said i'm not going to answer that under any circumstances i'm not going to answer that but actually that was a good answer he was indignant about you know being uh confronted with the truth but i don't have any

problem because he was a nice guy and here's what i think it is i have to gear up to ask that question right and where were you during the interview because you could be in siberia right now if you're on Russia. Absolutely. Absolutely. And don't think that didn't cross my mind. I'm going to put forth something now, and you can, you know, you gave me the yes or no. I'll give you the yes or no. But here's what I think it is. Many television news people are not trained the way they should be trained, number one. Many are in it for the money and the glamour, not for journalism. They don't even know. So if you ask them a question about history of journalism, what happened in the past, Edward R. Murrow, how the wars were covered Vietnam, they don't know

anything. They are hired for their looks, their demeanor, their voice, but most of all, corporate media and television hires people who will do as they are told. That is the reason that our journalism on television has fallen apart right or wrong let me yeah i think there's a lot of truth to that and let me let me name two people who wouldn't do what we were told you and me yeah true and we paid a price and we both paid a price we paid a paid a price for that but but look where we are today exactly exactly so we overcame i couldn't have said it back i'm not going to say another the word about that. That is exactly right. And I've thought about that more than once. I would rather have the respect of the people than any paycheck. And I think you feel the same way.

Yeah. And when you run the risk of not having any paycheck and you still do it, that says something about you. I'll give you the credit. One more for you, though. If you don't have a paycheck, you can always melt down all those enemies. Right behind, see the Emmys behind Goldberg? You can melt them down. As gold, is it a record high? So you'll have some residual income coming at last word. Or if you come to my website, that would help a lot. Bernardgoburg.com. I'm always telling people to go there, and there's nothing in it for me.

I mean, a lot of times you and this Nut Daily who you got, you're mocking me and telling me I'm crazy, which is good. I like that. And you read my stuff and send me notes saying a good column, and I appreciate that. No, that's what journalists do. and if you write a bad column, I'm going to send you a note saying badcom. Fair not. All right, Bernie Goldberg, everybody, bernardgoberg.com.

Check it out. It doesn't look like a good scenario on the economic front, so why would CEOs be endorsing Kamala Harris? So I asked myself, find a very smart guy. I can explain it so even I can understand it. I'm not a macroeconomic specialist. I did take courses at Harvard, and I got through it, but I can't say it. really knew what I was doing. So anyway, joining us now from Providence, Rhode Island is Dr. Lawrence Kotlakov, who teaches at

my alma mater, Boston University. He is, or was a former economist for President Reagan. All right. Okay, Professor, so let's dumb this down so even I know what you're talking about here. On paper, it looks like if you're a CEO of any corporation, you want Trump who's going to cut the taxes, not Harris. Where am I going wrong? Well, I think that's, you know, obviously you can screw up the corporate tax. I mean, imagine you made the corporate tax rate 100%. You eliminated investment incentives. Every company would relocate abroad. We'd have no jobs for

U.S. workers. It would be a disaster. So there's clearly a sweet spot. And going beyond the competition isn't necessarily it because I and other economists think that corporate taxes are if they're above the competition are really taxes on workers so that we have to be careful about how we handle those. But, sir, let me stop you right there. Surely the CEOs know that people will be laid off in their companies if the tax rate goes from 21 to 28%. So that, therefore, the person of the private corporations are a look around to cut what they can cut. Also, the increased taxation paid by the corporations, some of the costs of that will pass along to the consumers who buy the products of these corporations.

Everybody knows that. Why are these 88 people endorsing Harris then? Well, I mean, first of all, you know, the details matter. If you raise the corporate tax rate to 28, but you increase investment incentives on new capital not on new investment not on existing capital that could keep the effective rate lower even lower it could lower it while they're saying there'd be right-offs that these companies would invest and write some of that off is that what you're saying that new investments could be subsidized so that there's more so at the margin companies still have incentive even maybe better

incentives to invest in the u.s that's a big maybe because they could write pernicious things into the tax code that would stop all that. They want it. They can also raise tariffs by 10 percentage points. I mean, across the board, that's not something economists would endorse either. So what I'm trying to get at is that these CEOs are thinking about the big picture here. And, you know, do we have a, I'm not for everything. I think we need to have a major overhaul, the fiscal system, the benefit system.

and we're locking lots of millions of poor people into poverty because we give them benefits and then say you earn too much, you lose bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, and they're in very high marginal tax brackets. Adding additional programs like that, to me, is not exactly the wrong way to go. All right, but now you're getting into a lot of complicated situation.

Okay. I happen to believe that the 88 CEOs that endorsed a. Kamala Harris are doing so primarily out of ideology, not that they might be able to get more investment money or they might be able to use the tax code, which will certainly change. Look, and you know this better than anybody. Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont, is a socialist. Kamala Harris sponsored the universal health care, co-sponsored it with him. Kamala Harris's whole career is big, big government. Now, you as an economics professor teaching at BU, do you believe the federal government should run the U.S. economy? Because if you do, then you would vote for

Kamala Harris. Well, I think there's lots of reasons I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris, but let me be clear, because I don't think Trump is mentally stable enough to be president. All right, but that's not the issue here. That's a different issue. But, but I mean, I mean, if you want to talk about health insurance, health care, I'm for Medicare, listen, just hear me out, I'm for Medicare part. I'm for Medicare for all, but the Republican version, the advantage plan for everybody in the country. That's pretty much what Japan has, Israel, the European country is competitive health care. And we can get the share of GDP down from 17% down to 11% and get the Swedish, you know, get our performance up at where. Sweden is they're spending 11% they have fourth best result we we have like we're spending 17%

we have about 21st best but you would do it through negotiation correct not feel we do it through competition through competitive right here the Republican version of Medicare that's a big thing what I'm trying to get across is that Harris is small thing Trump is no think in my view in terms of the economy what he's coming up with is what we can discuss Yes, but we can't think small anymore in this country. Our entire fiscal operation is completely bankrupt on the long term. If you look at off the book liabilities, on the book liabilities, together we're bankrupt as a country.

Okay, but that's largely due to massive spending by the federal government and borrowing from Social Security and Medicare and getting that money out of there when he never should have touched it. That's the old Al Gore lockbox thing. All right, last word on that. So you, as an economist, would feel comfortable voting for Vice President Harris because you don't believe that Trump has the answer to providing a fair economy. Am I summing you up correctly? I'm nervous about what he's going to do on foreign.

There's so many other issues. There's foreign policy. Is he going to basically put up? All right. But for four years, it was pretty stable for four years. I want you to read my book here on confronting the presidents because we just run down a line. Very good discussion. I'd like him to enunciate this so that I could be confident.

Yeah, but you know that's not going to happen. Although his speech at his speech last week at the New York Economy Club came closest. He's a libertarian. Trump is a libertarian capitalist. That's what he is. and all this tariff stuff is to get better deals. I know what he's doing. And, you know, real wages went up in his four years.

But anyway, I appreciate you coming on. It was a very good discussion. Thank you very much. Professor, have a good semester up there. Taylor Swift. She endorsed Kamala Harris. And here is the quote. I think she's a steady-handed, gifted leader.

I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate Tim Wals, who has been standing up for LBQ plus rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades. Signed Taylor Swift, a childless cat lady. All right, so the media makes a big deal out of this. You know, okay.

Fine. He likes, Taylor likes, Kamala. means nothing here's something that means something so there is according to the foundation for individual rights and expression problems big time with freedom of speech on college campuses and they list the 10 worst schools that deny students freedom of speech and here they are according to this group Harvard my alma mater Columbia New York University University of University of Pennsylvania. Barnard College, Syracuse University. That's one, two, three in New York, University of Southern California. Wow, USC. University of Texas, Austin, Indiana University,

Pomona College, that's in California as well. They are the worst to deny students' freedom of expression. Here are the best, according to this survey. And they surveyed 251 universities, about 6,000. undergraduate students were surveyed. We're the best for free speech, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Michigan Tech, Florida State, Eastern Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Claremont McKenna, that's in California, North Carolina State, Oregon State, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, Mississippi State U. So, you know, it's a shame that students go to a college, pay all their money, and if they say something that's not politically correct, not woke, they get punished. And if they're in a

classroom with a radical-led professor and they give their opinion, the grade goes down. That's happening. Okay, be very, very careful about where you send your kids and grad kids. Check it out. Smart life. Okay, here's an interesting story. So this is from the Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA. And this is a very credible publication. They say one in five people, Americans, when they go to a doctor's office, they dispute the bill. Or they get charged so much they can't pay it. 20%. So I had to take my son to, he had a knee problem. He's a lacrosse player. And we took him to a doctor. And the doctor booted it entirely. the doctor ordered an MRI didn't even read the MRI because you know me I investigate everything he didn't even read the MRI and he had no answer for my son's malady so I had to take him to another one and we finally got it under control this guy sends me an astronomical bill I call up the office manager and I say not going to pay it and if you send me another bill I'm going to file a

a complaint against this doctor at Albany, okay, a malpractice complaint, because this is insane and we can prove it and back it up. So, presto, the bill goes away. So what this study says is if you get overcharged or the doctor, the physician, boots it, call them up, state your case. And I did it calmly. I wasn't yelling, even though I was furious, because my kid was suffering, all right? And they say that 62% of people who call and challenge get relief. Either the bill comes down or it disappears. Now, I had to take it a step further by saying, look, this is so bad that if, you know,

I'm not going to do it if you're not, if you're reasonable. But if you're unreasonable, if I see another bill, I'm going right to Albany. And I'll prove it and I'll carry through with it. So no doctor wants that. Now, that is overdoing it unless it's really serious. But what the smart life segment is all about is if you think you're getting hosed and treated unfairly, you call. Get names. Get names.

Now, I get a lot of that on the concierge band. You know, people, concierge members of Bill O'Reilly.com, they write me, and it's all private, and they say, look, I got this doctor did it, and I can usually steer them into attorneys. At some level, you need an attorney. But most of those medical attorneys will work on contingency. They don't charge you up front because they, if you have the evidence, and you got to have the evidence, then they'll take a piece of whatever settlement you get. All right.

You got to get names. You got to document it, which, of course, I do. right? But 62% get relief if you do it, smart life. Okay, here's the final thought of the day I was on Sid and Friends, WABC Radio. That's our flagship, New York City. And of course, it was nice enough to read and talk about confronting the presidents. And I brought up Warren Harding, elected in 1920, because Kamala Harris is campaigning exactly like Warren Harding. Roll it. Who needs Stormy Daniels when you've got Warren Harding?

Warren Harding's mistress gives birth to his kid, and nobody reports it. And then he's elected, and instead of governing, he plays cards and gets drunk every night. That's why I thought you would read it. Right now he's my favorite president. He just went ahead of Trump and Reagan. And he's the most corrupt guy in the world. Love him. Love you.

See, I got to go back and read these guys. Yeah, Americans elected Harding, not know. knowing anything about him. And he was an absolute disaster. And then at the end, Harding dies before he completes his four years and Coolidge becomes president. But some people think his wife poisoned him in San Francisco. Look at this.

This is fantastic. Yeah. This is unbelievable. This is what the book is about. So the comparison between the campaign of war. Warren Harding, a campaign of Kamala Harris. You're not going to believe it. Thank you for watching and listening to the NoSpid News.

See you again on Monday.
