Six weeks to go, early voting already started in some states, can't call it everywhere I go.
And I mean, everywhere I go, who's going to win? If I knew I would tell you.
But in the next six week, it's going to be, oh, up and down.
and out, a few minor October surprises, nothing major I can see on the horizon. And I hope there's
no craziness. I really do that, but no one can predict that kind of stuff. But as you know,
I knew Biden was going to drop out. And I told you that a year of you, that eight months before it
happened. You know, I knew that. But I don't know who's going to win. I cannot call it
because there are so many things in play now that have never been in play before in American history.
This is a totally unique election in 2024.
But where we are now today on September 23rd is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo.
So I was in Florida over the weekend, actually 24 hours.
And I did some investigating in both camps.
Trump and Harris, both camps believe they're going to win.
And I can tell you, they're not faking it.
Okay.
Both candidates, their so-called people, analysts, advisors,
believe they're going to win.
That's rare.
That's rare.
Okay.
Now, Hillary Clinton's people thought she was going to win.
They rented the Javitt Center out.
They spent a lot of money on a post-victory celebration, and it collapsed.
Last time around, nobody knew, and they were nervous.
This time around is a little bit more confidence on both sides.
Are they delusional?
I don't know.
Let's run it down.
There are two polls that indicate Donald Trump is much stronger
than the corrupt corporate media would have you believe.
those two polls are Trafalgar and Rasmussen.
We can't vouch for those people.
I don't really know who's paying them or what they're doing.
But those two polls and the Trump people believe those polls.
They say that Trump is a very good chance to win.
The media polls mainstream, like NBC, have Harris ahead.
In fact, NBC pool went out yesterday, and it has party identification as fair.
42 Dem, 43 Republican, Independent 29.
But listen to this.
Gender, remember?
I started waving this flag about 10 days ago.
You've got to tell us the gender.
Well, in the NBC poll, female 52, male 48, that's not fair.
Because more women will vote for Kamala.
she'll carry women, whereas Trump will carry men.
So if you're going to skew it four, that's going to show up in the final number.
NBC knows that.
Okay, they know it.
See?
You see how they do it?
Okay.
Now, in the latest poll, it has Harris beating Trump 4944.
This is the NBC poll.
Okay.
the new york times put out a very weird poll yesterday sienna college conducted it for the newspaper fair down the line democrat 30 republican 33 independent 31 fair but here's the gender ready female 54 male 45 oh come on come on that's a nine swing despite that despite that
nine points that favors Kamala. The three states, the New York Times polled in, Arizona, Georgia,
North Carolina, Trump's winning all three. That should tell you something. Now here they are.
Arizona, Trump 50, Harris 45. Georgia, Trump 49, Harris 45. North Carolina, Trump 49, Harris 45.
North Carolina, Trump 49, Harris 47. Very close, and it shouldn't be in North Carolina,
but they have a gubernatorial candidate there who's a loon. All right, you know the story.
I mean, he got allegedly, I mean, I don't, but I believe it's true. He gives on some websites
of some crazy things about being a black Nazi or something. You know, you got to vet these guys,
North Carolina Republican Party, right?
Come on.
Now, he's never going to win this guy,
running for governor on a Republican ticket in North Carolina.
So that means that Harris is an advantage in that state.
And she should.
It's a traditional state, North Carolina.
Yeah, I know Charlotte and Durham and all those people are, you know,
they've got a lot of new people in,
but North Carolina shouldn't be a problem for Trump,
but it is.
It's a problem.
You're going to have to spend some time of money there.
Okay.
But the gender breakdown, and I guarantee you, of all the news outlets that you may sample this week,
you will never hear that gender gap reported on any of them, even the conservative networks.
Because they're not smart enough to report it.
They don't understand what's happening in the part.
holding world. I do. I lock into these things very, very carefully. That's why I can bring this
to you. Now, Kamala Harris spent a lot of money on TV as running during the football games,
and it's obvious why. She wants to reach working and middle class Americans. She wants to try to
peel off some mail votes because she's getting hammered in that category. Here is a sample.
No.
As a prosecutor, I never asked a victim or a witness, are you a Republican or a Democrat?
The only thing I ever asked them, are you okay?
And that's the kind of president we need right now.
Someone who cares about you and is not putting themselves first.
I intend to be a president for all Americans.
She's good.
It's a good performer.
There's no doubt about it.
She sells it.
Now, do I believe it?
No, because I don't think she even understands the issues.
And I've been over this.
She had no idea how to bring inflation down.
And she'll give it to some progressive economists.
He'll do what they did to Biden, and they'll just rocket it up.
Gaza, Israel, none.
Ukraine, Putin, no.
Border, ridiculous.
woke all day long. Parental rights, you have none. But she's up there going, I'm just a regular
mom. I'm not a mom. I'm sorry. She's a stepmom. I'm just a regular person. I can live next
to you. And, you know, for the viewers that don't know anything, and there are millions of them,
you know, the cliche is low information voters. No. No information.
voters. None. Well, they're watching this attractive person saying, look, I'm going to help you.
And then the line like, not about me, it's about you. I'm not in it for myself like, you know,
she doesn't say Trump, but you know, she's doing it. That's effective. 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.

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 it said Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
Now, here's what Trump should do.
We're going to put this on our YouTube channel.
So it reaches everybody in the world tonight, and I'm signaling my producers.
This is going to go on our YouTube channel.
And I don't usually do this because I'm not a ruder, but I see the danger from the Harris Wall's ticket.
If this country elects them, this country is going to change for the worst dramatically.
It's my personal belief.
All right, I'm Donald Trump now.
I can't puff the hair up that way, but I'm Donald Trump.
Here's my 30-second ad, all right?
He looks into the camera, Trump does, and he says this.
I know some of you don't like me, and I have made mistakes.
Some of you think I'm conceded and pompous and sometimes I go overboard in my rhetoric.
And I'm sorry because I do make mistakes like everybody else.
But I want you to know what's most important to me, and that is America.
And in my four years, I helped working in middle class Americans.
Real wages grew more than 7%.
Under the Biden administration, they fell more than 3%.
more than 3%. And I had to deal with the brunt of COVID, but we were able to have a strong economy
and build it back fast. Overseas, there was no turbulence. I had the situation in Middle East under
control. I had Iran pinback. I destroyed ISIS, and Putin didn't cause much trouble. I was also
involved with the Chinese to the extent that they weren't doing what they're doing now, being blatantly
aggressive. So I hope you will consider voting for me based upon my record because I sincerely
want to help this country. I'm Donald Trump and I approve that message. Just him.
No video, no bells and whistles, nothing. Talking to you. He does that ad? He wins.
it humble. Can't be bellocose, word of the day. No showbiz, no apprentice. No bad mouth and
Kamala, just saying that under Biden, things were terrible and they are. So this is the first time
I've been doing national commentary for almost 28 years now. God.
I have never done that before.
I don't pick up the phone and tell people what to do.
I don't do any of that.
My job is to watch out for you,
and I devote all my energy to doing that.
But because we are in a historical year
where this country could go, you know,
I put forth that to the former president.
Okay, we'll get a lot of reaction on that.
So Trump says he's not going to debate
Kamala second time. Kamala says she wants a debate. On October 23rd, in Atlanta, CNN,
Trump said, no, it's too late. Early voting has already started. I'm not sure that's in stone.
A lot of it will have to do with the polling. Trump might come back and say, okay, I'll do it.
Maybe. Vice presidential debate is October 1st, coming right up, 9 p.m. New York's
City, CBS, Noro Donald, Margaret Brennan, both liberal women.
All right, but that's all right.
That's okay, as long as they're fair, and they fact check both.
All right.
So, but Vance needs to note, there's going to be dogs and cats, there's going to be
childless cat ladies, a lot of animals, a lot of domestic animals are going to be in that
debate.
And then everything at Vance has said that could be remotely controversial.
Margaret and Nora are going to throw out of this absolutely he's got to know that's happening
there is a dinner every year in New York City the Al Smith dinner it's thrown by the Cardinal
Dolan it's a big big thing and it's good-nature dinner where they by Democrats and Republicans
they all you know jive each other and all of that and a presidential candidate is usually
come. Trump said he'd go, comma's not going to go. And it's a, in New York City, it's a fairly
significant story. It's a snub. There's no doubt. It's a snub. But look at it from Harris's
point of view. She is the queen of promoting abortion. She doesn't think it's constitutional.
She promotes it. It's noble. And you've got to pay for it even if you don't believe in it.
She's going to walk into the Al Smith dinner?
No.
That's why she's not going.
Okay, so a few weeks ago in California was a very interesting occurrence.
A former state senator.
In fact, she was the Senate majority leader in Sacramento.
The press conference and said, I'm switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party
and I'm going to vote for Donald Trump.
The woman's name is Gloria Romero.
She joins us now from Malibu, California,
not a bad place, unless there's a fire.
She's author of the book,
Just Not That Likeable,
The Price All Women Pay for Gender Bias.
So your life must have been lively the last few weeks.
Caught a lot of people by surprise your announcement, right?
It did, but I think people who know me,
and especially some of the fights that I've had with Sacramento
to get back to some sense of normalcy
and representing the working class
and the middle class in California,
I don't think they were as surprised as many others.
Okay, but you're a powerful Democrat in a state
that's overwhelmingly Democrat.
We're also a contemporary of Kamala Harris.
I want to get into that in a moment.
But when you say you're going to vote for Trump in California,
that's like voting for the devil.
I mean, have people shunned you because of that position?
In politics, you have to have a thick skin, and I do, believe me.
So, yes, there have been some smears, but you'd be surprised.
I've had a number of Democrats and others who have reached out to me to say,
hey, we applaud what you did, and we're kind of thinking about that, too, although maybe not as public.
There's been a massive walk away from the Democratic Party, given the leaders.
of Gavin Newsom and in a state that was represented by Kamala Harris.
Well, California's in disarray.
I mean, you're paying the highest prices for a gallon of gasoline in the country by far.
People are leaving, and for my money, California's most beautiful state in the union.
I've been every county.
I mean, I've been up into Lessons County.
I mean, it's just a fabulous place to live, or it used to be.
But now the government, the Democratic government there, wants to control everything.
that people do they don't particularly care about solving problems all you have to do is go to
san francisco and look at the mess that city's in education is declining because they won't uh the unions
dominate you won't throw over charter schools and all that it's just on and on and on and on
okay so when did you first meet camilla harris um i was in the california state senate
i believe i first met her when she was district attorney and then later ran for attorney general
But one of the first interactions that I had with her is when she came to the Senate Public Safety Committee, which I then chaired,
she was interested in running a piece of legislation, getting support for a bill that would go after truancy.
Now, on the surface, this might sound good.
But what was interesting was that she was focused on going after mostly these would be low income, probably mostly African American, Latino,
mothers whose kids were, I'm going to say, trapped in chronically failing schools in California
around which when she became Attorney General, she did nothing about. In fact, if we look at
those statistics, even today, Oakland schools, her hometown, 75% of Latino and African American
children are not reading at basic levels of proficiency or doing math.
And she exacerbated these chronically failing schools by going after a court victory.
It was called the Vergara case.
All right.
So what you're saying is that she put up some truancy bill, but she wasn't interested in the
underlying causes of the failed education, which are gangs and teachers are afraid,
particularly in Oakland, which is totally out of control.
Now, on balance, watching her, and correct me if I'm wrong, Ms. Romero, you know a lot more
about your state than I do.
I see a machine politician.
Somebody who was elected in San Francisco as a district attorney based on our connections
with Willie Brown, former Speaker of the House in Sacramento, former mayor of San Francisco.
They had an association.
Let me use that word, okay?
She got into the Democratic machine.
She's very articulate,
and then she just kind of moved on up,
like the old sitcom The Jeffersons.
Am I reading that wrong?
No, you have a perfect readership on this.
It basically isn't.
I mean, party politics dominate the most powerful force
in the Democratic Party in California
is the California Teachers Association,
to which she hitched her.
herself in going after the truant mothers as well as basically trying to defeat that case
that I described at the Supreme Court level. She is the one as Attorney General who went after
the parents and the kids who had won that victory to shut them down, thereby.
So she did the bidding of the union and put together a coalition of the willing. One of her
pitches is she was very tough on the Mexican drug cartels in California. We can't find any evidence
of that at all, none. There's no evidence. Okay, I'm glad you said that because I don't want to be
wrong. She prosecuted cases that were brought to her by state and local authorities, but she didn't
do anything unilaterally to fight this terrible menace that has devastated California. So I'm right on
that?
And also, if you take a look at what's happening in California today with all of the rampant crime, the smash and grabs, you can't walk into a single, like, thrifty CVS and not find a barricade of plastic shelves behind which are products for sale.
She is the one as Attorney General who wrote deceptively the title and summary of a measure which basically gave rise to this issue of you can steal up to $950 in California.
California and basically not be punished with it.
She is the one who in California that summary.
California citizens are responsible too, but you're saying that she was behind the ballot measure, right?
Correct.
As Attorney General, it was a very deceptive summary.
That's not really a crime fighter.
All right, then she gets into D.C. as a senator.
And again, we've investigated her to Senate record.
Nothing passed in four years.
Didn't do anything that we can see to advance the welfare of the country.
Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.

Did she do anything to help California while she was in Washington?
There are no results that we can say, take a look over here. I think it's hard for anybody to do it.
She's known basically for her going after the Supreme Court justices for their, uh,
appointment to the Supreme Court, but I don't think that her scrutiny of them is anything
to write home about.
All right, but you were the Senate Majority Leader in Sacramento, and, you know, when
you're a senator, you're supposed to bring back some good stuff to your state.
Do you see anything good that she brought to California in the four years?
She's in the Senate?
I'm sure there was some money that was funneled into California, but there isn't really
anything that she was known for.
It was quite clear.
When she first was running for the Senate, everybody knew it was going to be a short step,
and then she was going to immediately start campaigning for the presidency.
There were people who said she thinks she's the female Obama,
and that's basically what everybody knew who supported her.
She was being fast.
She has a base of support in Hollywood, in San Francisco, in Silicon Valley,
very wealthy base of support, right?
and that propelled her.
Correct.
Okay.
Now, she gets to be vice president, and again,
one of the big issues in your state is the border.
I mean, you've got, you know, an Imperial County in San Diego County.
You've got absolute chaos there.
Did she do anything to help California in those two counties?
No.
In fact, we saw video surfaced with her just recently,
basically saying no deportation.
ever. Even President Obama was known as the deporter in chief. And you contrast that with her
video, basically her saying no deportation ever. All right. So you guys in Sacramento didn't see
any improvement even though she's vice president and was tasked to improve things at the board. Is that
a fair statement? You didn't see any improvement? I don't think there's no improvement at all.
I think what it is, she was not focused on California.
She was focused at that time in getting a national name
so she could establish herself to run for the presidency.
That's really where it was.
But I understand that.
But when you're tasked with improving things at the border
and you're from California and California's under siege,
you would think that there would be something that she would do
to help you guys.
Okay, final question on her.
And then I have one more question for it.
So Kamala Harris, who is a very shrewd woman, all right, who's now portraying herself as a moderate,
that she wants to bring everybody together.
When you see those spots, knowing her and her history, what goes through your mind?
It's just an artificial construction.
It's Hollywood.
It's a script.
It's a narrative.
It's not the truth.
And sadly, I think for most of us who have been in politics and seen this, we've seen
how aided by a mainstream media and a very powerful machine that does not want America
first, they are aiding and abetting the creation of an anybody but Trump candidate.
So they're mythologizing the vice president, so Trump will lose. Do you have any hesitancy at all
with your long history of democratic politics of voting for Donald Trump?
Not at all. I think in looking at it, I think,
it's very much wanting to restore america first it is wanting to have a thriving economy i believe
in pathways to citizenship but this borders are has completely made a mockery out of what
citizenship means with a completely open border as a woman i find it extremely offensive that
apparently the democratic party today can't define a woman i'm sorry but men cannot get
pregnant we don't need tampons in boys bathrooms title nine has been even
eviscerated, and there has been no comments from Kamala Harris on any of these issues at all.
So I'm looking forward to a Trump presidency.
There has been a great walkaway, especially among groups like Latinos, of which I'm Latina.
Many of us are walking away saying this is not the part of represents us.
Well, we appreciate your candor, Ms. Romero.
It's very refreshing for somebody like me who's used to politicians being kind of
disingenuous. So thank you very much for appearing. And the book again is just not that
likable. The price whole women pay for gender bias. Okay, I hope we can talk again soon.
Thank you, madam. We appreciate it. Vivek Ramoswamy. He's got a new book out tomorrow.
The Truths, the Future of America First. And you know, I don't have to give you a long
bio on them. If Trump's elected, he will get a cabinet.
position. I am almost 100% on that. Okay, so first of all, I'm going to get to your book,
but in my little run-up here, anything you object to, was I over-the-top in any way?
No, I mean, I think you explored a lot of issues with nuance and the polling side of things.
It's worth noting one trend, Bill, just to see, as I know, you mentioned the NBC polls.
They pulled more women than men. The only thing I'd add is, in the last several election cycles,
you have seen greater turnout for women relative to men as well.
That's different from what it was 50 years ago.
So I'm just a big fan on our side of not being complacent.
I do think complacency is one of the big risks we could have heading into this election.
It's what happened in 2022.
We didn't have a red wave in 2022.
And I'm worried we're at risk of something similar in 2024,
unless we actually step up and articulate our own vision of who we are
and what we actually stand for.
And that's actually the main call to action in the book that I just wrote and releasing as well.
The book is preaching to the choir on a traditional conservative viewpoint, which of course
is nothing wrong with that.
Did you get any bookings on ABC, NBC or CBS?
Did any of them invite you?
I'm going to be on CNN tomorrow morning.
And actually, one of the things that I'm trying.
I got on CNN.
CBS, NBC or ABC?
No.
It's a very interesting media.
media landscape, but what I am trying to do, Bill, it's totally.
One of the things I'm trying to do is I'm going to college campuses because I care about
not just preaching to the choir.
I actually care about at least presenting the right arguments to people who think
that they're on the other side, but actually when they're challenged to engage in open
debate may actually have a very different view than they thought they did.
And that's a good thing.
College campus is a good place to do that.
Don't go to Columbia.
I mean, you know, you know where to go.
But the point of the matter is two points I want to make.
you. The polling services know that Kamala Harris is going to get the majority of female
votes in this country. So therefore, very quietly, they're polling more women than men to skew
the poll results. They know it, I know it. And then, of course, my viewers and listeners know it
now. The second thing is CBS, NBC, huge conglomerates black out, refuse to book any,
non-liberal author. My book, as you know, is opening number one this coming Sunday on the New York
Times bestsellers. Far in a way, the best-selling nonfiction book in the world at this point.
Okay. I also bring ratings to wherever I go, all right? There's no business decision that would exclude me.
It's all ideology. And if somebody like you, who's deeply involved in a Trump campaign,
who obviously campaigned to be president himself, all right,
should be a natural booking on the Today Show, Good Morning America,
on all of the late night shows, and you can't get in.
I'm telling you, if you guys win the Trump, Trump,
you've got to take a look at this,
because I'm going back to Teddy Roosevelt with the monopoly situation here.
This is wrong.
But anyway, let's get to your book.
You know, it's remarkable.
Remarkable is we have to restore that.
culture of open debate in this country, and we can't have it. I want all views represented.
I wouldn't want a conservative administration working with conservative media companies through
the back door to make sure that the only views that were heard were you're in my views.
That's right.
America's built on diversity of thought. It's actually part of what this whole book is about
Billis. I want to give everyday conservatives to not forget the media. How do we do it
an ordinary life? The goal of this book is to arm conservatives, but people on our side,
to actually talk to their friends. And yes, I do.
we still use the word friends on the left, be they family or friends, at the dinner table,
but to have enough courage to be armed with the facts and the arguments on the touchiest questions
from climate change to the transgender debate to racial agendas, how do you talk about the
touchy issues where you may face risk of cancellation, but to do it with such precision that
nobody's going to be able to penalize you for what you said. But to the contrary, we might
actually win over some hearts and minds, as I believe I've had.
the chance to do over the last year that's what this book is about it's allowing every american to be
able to do the same thing so i got two uh contentions with you sure so i opened a book in the first
chapter is god is real okay i believe that i sit through boring sermons every sunday
the catholic church no i mean it's kind you know me you know me i'm
come on you can do better than that i
I believe God is real, but I believe what I want to believe.
Now, I wrote killing Jesus, and I know what happened there.
But you're stating for a fact that God is real, and you know that a large portion of
population is going to say, no, he's not.
There's no proof of that.
How do you answer that?
Yeah, so there's a few things I do in that chapter.
The first thing I make clear is this is not the job of the government to enforce.
But the question is, is our culture worse off because of the widespread of secular atheism as a new kind of religion in the country?
Yes, it is.
And the truth of the matter is we don't have hostility towards atheists in this country today.
But what we do have is increasing hostility to persons of faith, limiting their religious liberty.
My view, Bill, I don't know if you show this to view, but my view is, I don't care if you want to get married, who you want to marry, the government should not stand in your way as long as, as you know what, they're not forcing you.
to actually force officiate somebody's wedding
who you don't believe in.
Yet that's exactly what's happening
is the reverse of that is happening
is they're forcing people who don't want to participate
in functions that run against their religious convictions.
Sure.
So one of the points I make in that chapter,
we need to restore religious liberty
and part of especially amongst young people
what's missing is we do have this missing vacuum
in the heart of a generation
who wants to believe in something bigger than themselves,
yet they can't even answer what it means
to be an American or whether or not they believe
in a higher power.
Yeah, and they know nothing about theology, and that's a parental, parental dereliction.
The second thing that caught my attention was global warming is not real, but it is real.
I mean, you know it is because you can scientifically.
I didn't say that quite.
Yeah, I didn't say that quite.
It's close.
I said the climate change agenda is a hoax, is what I said in there.
But it's not going to be taken that way.
When I was reading it, I went, is he a climate denier?
Now, I just want to tell you how I know.
So I went to Alaska, I went to Glacier Bay, one of those beautiful places on Earth, okay?
And the guys are taking me out like they always do whenever I go anywhere, people work there in there.
And I said, well, what's the situation?
You go, well, we lost about 30, 35 percent of the glacier because the temperatures are warmer.
And where I live on the ocean, I can see the change in what has happened here.
So global warming is real.
Now, the political agenda attached to it.
yeah you're absolutely correct so they're trying to use this is great to use climate change to impose
socialism that's what they're trying to do go so the one one thing on the science though and this is
where i really aim to break this down in the book and i hope people benefit from it is i ask the
question let's break this down into four questions one is our global surface temperatures going
up yes they are the second question is are we sure that is due to man-made causes it appears to be
highly correlated. Are we sure it's due to increased carbon dioxide? There we have less certainty.
There's only 0.04% of the atmosphere that's carbon dioxide today, which is a relative low over the
course of the history of the earth. It's almost at an all-time low. Then you ask the question that
nobody asks Bill, but this is the one that really matters and I hit hard in the book. Are we sure
that increasing surface temperatures by a little bit is necessarily a bad thing for human beings? And actually,
the counterintuitive thing we learned through a lot of the facts I lay out in the book is actually
there are some positive effects of slightly increasing global surface temperatures. Here's one.
It's a fact that eight times as many people die of cold temperatures rather than warm ones.
So way more people that have cold temperatures than warm ones. A slight increase in global surface
temperatures actually means fewer temperature-related deaths. Here's another fact. The earth is more
covered by green surface area, by plants today than it was a
century ago because plants grow in not only warmer climates but carbon dioxide released in the
atmosphere is actually plant food plants actually take that back up creating what's called a greening
effect on the planet the funny thing many people watching your program may remember is back in the
1970s the thing that climate scientists worried about was not global warming back then they worried
about a global ice age because more people have actually died of ice ages in human history than have
ever died of warming. And so the question is against the backdrop of, are there going to be some
negatives to surface temperatures going up? Yes. But are there also some positives? The answer also there
is yes. It is far from clear, let alone certain that that net effect is actually net negative.
And for that, we're asked to change our entire modern way of life. By the way, only in the West
without asking places like China to do the same thing. That's why I said the climate change
agenda is very provocative and thought provoking. And that's the bottom line on your book.
So the book comes out tomorrow is called Truths, the Future of America First.
And even if you don't subscribe to Mr. Ramoswami's point of view,
it's a very provocative book.
So it'll get you thinking about a number of situations
because each chapter is a different subject,
it's not just a diatribe of conservative thought.
So anyway, Vivek, thank you for helping us out.
We appreciate it.
If you ever got anything on your mind, you just let us know what you put you right back on.
All right. Good luck with the book.
Tell me what your audience thinks of the book,
and we'll come back for to talk about it.
Thank you, Bill.
Cheers, I appreciate it.
Right.
Okay.
Now, one of the things that I have emphasized here
on this broadcast is that you need three things
in your life to prosper.
You need a good financial advisor.
You need an attorney.
You can get on the phone who cares about you,
but most of all, you need a doctor who cares about you.
So the Cleveland Clinic, very fine.
If you get in health trouble, Cleveland Clinic is someplace you should look at.
They put out a survey.
Listen to this.
37% of Gen Z, that goes up to 27 years old, men, Gen Z men, do not have a doctor.
37%.
Millennial, 2843, 27%.
Gen X, 4459, 17 baby Booners, 7.
So, a substantial minority in this country don't have a doctor.
They don't go to get examined.
61% of Gen X and boomers get a yearly physical.
32% of millennials in Gen Z do.
Okay.
Do you want to die soon before your time?
Ignore the doctor.
Period.
Smart life.
Insureify.
Get your pen in.
I always say pen and pad when you're watching the no-spin news.
Insurance rates, it's just, it's nothing like I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Insurance companies gouging, it's crazy, crazy.
And the reason is that during COVID and with some of the storms,
insurance companies that payout, now they're trying to make it up by jacking everybody's
insurance rates on home and car, which you've got to have.
way up through the ceiling. So we have found a website, all right, insurify.
Now, the website is compare, the word compare, dot insurify, I-N-S-U-R-I-F-Y dot com.
Compare.com. It's free. You go there, you fill it, about 10 minutes, they give you stuff to fill out,
so they know what you're looking for, all right? And then they come back,
and they give you comparisons of different companies what do you got to lose and you could save a bundle
now if you see something on insurify you got to check it out yourself you don't want to be going to
Ziggy's insurance company okay you got you got to check it out but this is a very good measure
in the Smart Life segment.
Okay, looking out for you.
Final thought.
You may have heard because I'm bragging about it
all over the place.
That's just who I am.
We're number one on the New York Times list.
Nineteenth time.
19th.
That's a record.
We are the best-selling non-fiction authors,
Martin Dugard and I, in the world, more number one times bestsellers than any other human being
on earth. That's pretty stunning. And they don't even like me. As because of you, I know,
I know why. And I, you know, I thank you very much. I know you'll enjoy the book. All right.
So I'm going to write a column, pretty provocative column on Sunday about the presidential race,
because that's where we are. We're deeply embedded in that.
I got a YouTube coming up this weekend, so check out that channel.
And so we're always busy on a weekend, and we'll see you again for the NoSpin News on Monday.
