Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, January 11th, 2020, stand up for your country. Good parenting. Are you a good parent? Most people say yes, but we all know that's not true. And I'm going to be a little judgmental tonight. to make a larger political point. Now, parenting is the most important thing

that you as an adult are called to do. And that doesn't disparage people who don't have children. That's their decision. Some adults are not emotionally equipped to raise children, so it's best they sit it out. But if you do have children, seeing to their welfare and providing everything you can for them to succeed is job number one.

Much more important than your economic job, job, more important than your hobbies, more important in everything else. All right, I think most people know that. But who makes the rules? Who says who's a good parent and who isn't a good parent? Well, here's my guideline. Judeo-Christian philosophy, not religion. If you're religious, that's good. Okay, and you should bring your child up in whatever religion you subscribe to. But Judeo-Christian philosophy, what our Constitution was based on, and world freedom, and basically says, look, you've got to treat other people as you want to be treated yourself. And you have to work for the greater good, very important, the greater good

of whatever society you live in. That's your obligation as a citizen, but more importantly, as a parent. All right? I put my kids ahead of me. All right, so I would die for my children, and I'm sure most of you would too. I'd give my life for my children. Okay, and there's not even a close call. So I'm not saying that I'm the greatest parent in the world. I'm just saying that according to jail Christian philosophy, which I follow, okay, I have to put my children and my family ahead of myself. I put my neighbor, non-family members, on a par. I treat them the way I want to be treated. Enter Joe Biden. So he got a problem with his son, Hunter Biden. Now he had a son, Bo Biden, who is a patriot and by all accounts, a very solid guy.

I don't know much about the daughters, but Hunter Biden's a bad guy from the jump. I know you can give me all this drug thing and he got a disease. He's a bad guy. And you see it on display time after time after time. Yet, Joe Biden kind of steps aside. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. Okay. So Hunter Biden's in court today in California. He's going to be arraigned on nine federal tax charges. Basically, he didn't pay taxes on millions of dollars. We all know that's true. It's been demonstrated.

He deserves due process and his day in court, but bank records show that millions and millions of dollars, perhaps 30 million, flowed into Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, President's brother. And Hunter Biden didn't pay taxes on a lot of it. That's what it is. So Joe Biden keeps saying, well, he's proud of his son. All right. I wouldn't be proud of my son if that happened. It wouldn't negate my love for him, but I wouldn't be proud of him.

Now, Hunter Biden could go to jail on these charges of convicted prison, federal prison, 17 years. That's not going to happen because his father, Joe Biden, will pardon him. That's what will happen. You wait and see. There's no doubt in my mind that will happen. And Hunter Biden's expected to enter a plea of not guilty, but he'll probably negotiate a deal. And as soon as the deal is signed, then the pardon will come down. I mean, I can't imagine that not happening.

So yesterday, as you know, Hunter Biden, who is in contempt of Congress now, shows up at a hearing. Okay, the House Oversight Committee, that's James Comer, chairing. He shows up on a stunt. Now, if you just joined the NoSpin News or just came back from Iceland, the committee, oversight committee subpoenaed Hunter Biden to come in for a deposition, a private deposition. Hunter Biden said, blank you, I'm not showing up for the deposition. That's contempt of Congress. Simple as that. Okay. So even though he's in contempt, he shows up for the hearing, stays 20 minutes, leaves, and there's a dog and pony show, and the press is chasing him in a lot.

Joe Biden proud of that? President of the United States, proud of that, exposition. Is he? You don't know. It's saying, word. I can guarantee you if Teddy Roosevelt sons did what Hunter Biden is doing, Teddy would drag them down to Oyster Bay where he lived and throw them into the water. I would do that if my son did that. And I bet you would too.

But not Joe Biden. So what does that say about him? Well, one, I can't say he's a bad father. That wouldn't be fair, because I can't walk in his shoes. I can say he's a bad president because any president says obey the law, right? Don't choose the law you want to obey. You obey the law. Any president who's responsible says that, not to abide.

Okay. Okay. So the Democrats don't want any of this. They don't care what Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Joe Biden. They don't care what they did. It's obvious. Across the board, grifting family, defying Congress, Democrats don't care. enter O'Reilly and Chris Cuomo on News Nation last night Chris Cuomo is a stalwart Democrat

roll it you're not reporting this accurately oh you mean the way you like it so he shows up no I'm telling you the truth he shows up in a stunt in a stunt this was a stunt okay okay the whole thing's a stunt just so the news

Cuomo, just take a breath and give me a 30 cents, right? You can interrupt me. I can't interrupt you. Go ahead. Go ahead. Correct. And the reason is I'm smarter than you are. Okay. That's the reason. All right. I'll stipulate to the fact that you're the smartest guy on the show. The House committee run by Comer wants Hunter Biden to do a private deposition. This is not unusual. This is the way it comes down. You're an attorney. Hunter Biden does not want to do that. He wants to testify in public because he knows that it's five-minute interims, Republican 5, Democrat 5, and that you're not going to be able to get the follow-up questions you would in a deposition. That's the baseline. So he shows up today with his lawyer and his money man, the Hollywood guy who pays all his bills.

He's there. And they stay for 20 minutes. get all the meaning attention, and then they bolt, and the lawyer goes, what are the Republicans afraid of? Okay. Boy. It's a stunt. But you know who it embarrasses the most?

Who does it embarrass the most? Let me guess. The president. Yes. If Teddy Roosevelt's sons had done what Hunter Biden did today, Teddy would have thrown them in Oyster Bay. And then because Cuomo didn't get it, I said if your father, the former governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, presided over you, Chris Cuomo, not paying your taxes, he would have dragged you

and thrown you into Sheep's Head Bay, which is close to where the Cuomo home is in Queens. Okay. Now, I think I'm 100% correct on this one. And Cuomo is smart enough to know I'm correct, but because he is part of the Democratic establishment, he has to try to mitigate this a little, but you can't. You can't. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the President of the United States, because he doesn't demand that his son obey the law, right? I hope you agree with me, but even worse, Joe Biden's not embarrassed. I'd be furious, furious if one of my offspring did something like this. Not Biden, not Jill, not embarrassed, okay?

So what happens now is, as I said, Hunter's in L.A. He's going to get charged. Then he's going to get charged with contempt of Congress. All right. Party line vote, but there's more Republicans in the House and Democrats. So he gets charged with that. Then Merrick Garland, the puppet, okay, has got to decide whether they charge him or not. Merrick Garland charged Bannon and Navarro, Trump guys. The same exact thing. Didn't answer the congressional subpoena. And Bano went to jail for four months. Now, will Merrick Garland prosecute Hunter Biden? I don't know. I got to tell you. Now, I know a lot of he said, oh, no, no, he might. But this is his legacy, Merrick Garland. This is it for him.

He doesn't prosecute. He's a shill forever. Can't come back from it. So maybe out of self-interest, he will. It's possible. Good parenting. Very important for the country. That's a memo.

All right, President Biden had nothing on his schedule today. Third straight day didn't do anything. Okay. Now, some of you say, well, I'm glad he's not doing anything because then he can't screw up the country, but he's supposed to do stuff. Didn't do anything. Three out of five days, he does nothing.

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. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. Or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA.

They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions in precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-8899. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. 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. 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. Donald Trump in court today in the civil suit in New York City, charging Trump Corporation with defrauding the state of New York. It's bogus.

We've gone over it a million times. Trump is saying he's a victim. It's a political prosecution, all of that. Okay. Last night he was on Fox News in an interview that was criticized by many in the press being too tough. I watched a little bit of it. I don't, I would have been tougher, but I'm tougher than anybody. If you saw the Swazi interview yesterday, you know that.

But I wasn't offended by the interview. I mean, I know what it is. But Trump didn't really say anything new. I'd run a clip if I had something new, but I don't have anything new. The one thing he did say it was interesting is that he has, in his mind, selected a vice president. I have no blank an idea who that is. I would recommend to him that Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas, would be the play. Team Normal.

And I'd run with that Team Normal campaign. That's who I would pick. But I don't know who he is going to pick. All right, at the exact same time, Donald Trump was on Fox. Nikki Haley and Rhonda Sanders were on CNN, calling each other liars. Go. So what we're going to do is rather than have him go and go and tell you all these lies. You can go to DeSantis Lies.com and look at all of those. There's at least

two dozen lies that he's told about me. Well, one good rule of thumb. If she says she's never said something, that definitely means she said it. And then she'll say, you're lying, you're lying. That means not only did she say it, but she's on videotape saying it. Okay. I don't have any analysis on that. I watch a little bit of it. Did I learn anything? I don't learn anything. I mean, maybe I'm different. If you learn something on either the Trump or Haley or DeSantis expositions last night, Bill at bill o'Reilly.com, tell me what you learned. I'll read your letter, but I don't learn anything.

All right, so Iowa Monday, Trump will win. DeSantis will drop out after that. Ramoswame may drop out as well, but it doesn't really matter. He's only polling 3% now. And then on the 23rd of January, we got New Hampshire. That's going to be chaotic. I mean, it's other Democrats can vote for Republicans if they signed up as independence. There's a lot of stuff going on there.

But we'll zero in on it as it gets closer. All right, another impeachment hearing, this one on Alarandro Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Chief. All right. there he is. Alejandro, under his watch, about 10 million foreign nationals have entered the USA and are now 85% of them running around a country unsupervised. That's pretty good grounds for impeachment, wouldn't you say? Now, Alejandro has nothing to do with that policy.

That's a Biden policy. It's all on Biden. But the House, Homeland Security Committee, chaired by Mark Green of Tennessee, they want to embarrass Biden and Alejandro, so they're holding impeachment hearings. Okay, will there be a vote? I don't know. Maybe Alejandro didn't even show up. It doesn't look like he's worried.

Senate will never convict them. But this is all to embarrass the Biden administration. All right, Fannie Willis update. This is a big story that I told you, we've been doing it all this week, and the corporate media won't touch it. because it's going to make Trump's life a lot easier when they throw the entire Georgia case out, which I think they're going to have to do. Real quick, Fannie Willis, D.A. Fulton County, that's Atlanta. Fannie Willis having an affair with her top investigator.

Okay? The affair has been going on for quite some time, led to a divorce action, and it's pretty intense. Okay? So Nathan Wade, the guy you just saw, is the boyfriend. But he's a top prosecutor against Trump and Trump's acolytes in Georgia and the charges are that Trump interfered with the election.

So now, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green from Georgia, okay, his file a complaint, a legal complaint, against Fannie and why, a criminal investigation into her alleged misconduct. All right. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp can order that. Willie, I hope so. I mean, this guy, this boyfriend guy,

he's got about a million dollars from Fulton County. And he's taken Fannie. Remember that BG song? Fanny B.T. I love this one. He's taking Fannie down to the Caribbean and to Napa Valley, California, on the dime and money that, come on. And the worst part about it is that he went, the boyfriend, went to the White House twice, at least twice. Nathan Wade visited the White House twice as in his role as prosecutor, okay?

and the taxpayers at Georgia paid for, we don't know what those meetings were. So now the Trump lawyers are demanding to know why Nathan Wade was at the White House. I'll tell you why. The White House was coordinating this whole thing in Fulton County. That's why. I mean, it's so sloppy. Fannie and Nathan are so sloppy, so arrogant. But this is going to lead to that whole thing below.

up? It has to. Can't have this. Prosecutorial misconduct? No way. CBS cover it? No, no. There was wind in Michigan. They had to cover that. Boy, oh boy. All right, here's a prediction. The USA and the U.K. will attack the Houthi rebels in Yemen soon. They will bomb them with drones and warships and fighter planes. And they will, you know, these Houthis are in Yemen, which is a desert country. But that's going to happen. Biden doesn't want to do it. That's why it hasn't happened yet. So the Houthis are firing on commercial ships in the Red Sea. You know that. All right? And they're sending all kinds of missiles and stuff like that, Iranian missiles. Houthis don't have missiles. And we're knocking them out of the sky, our warships, but

We got to annihilate these Houthis. And I mean that literally, just like we did with ISIS. Now, Iran's not going to like that, and that's why Biden doesn't do it. But I'm predicting he's going to have to do it soon. We'll see. California. So you'll remember they wanted reparations for slavery. It's about six months ago.

And the bill died, but they had hearings, and they drew it up, and they were going to pay black people money in California, but Newsom backed off. Now there's another socialist bill, Assembly Bill 259. And yesterday there was a meeting in Sacramento, and it was discussed. What is California Assembly Bill 259?

A wealth tax. So the radical socialist in Sacramento, want the state of California seize private property. So say you have a painting or a valuable heirloom passed down from your parents. The bill says that the government can go in

and assess the value and you have to pay every year. Tax on it. Even though it's your private property. They exempt real estate because the Hollywood leftist told them, be taxed in our homes. So they exempted that. Not only are they going to go after if this bill

passes, private property of all kinds, private assets, but if you move out of the state, they're going to chase you, and they're going to back hoe what you owe because it'll be retroactive. It's unbelievable. Now, it's never going to happen because it's unconstitutional. Government cannot seize private property. That's communism. That's what Fidel did, Stalin did, Mao did. They just seized all the private property. That's what the California legislature wants to do because they're broke,

paying the health costs of every undocumented migrant and all this other insanity that they pay. Now Newsom can't sign this bill. He's through anyway because he's giving complete health care coverage to every undocumented. person in California. Can never run for president. Now on that, ever. Okay, so he's out, but this is even worse, this wealth tax, because this is communism.

You know, I'll tell you what, and I'm not exaggerating. New York State would love to pass this. They won't. But if they did, I would move to another state. But if Congress in Washington said, Wealth tax is constitutional, and we, the federal government, are going to do it to, I'll move to the Bahamas or Ireland. You want to chase me? You can chase me. But I'm not going to do it. I have worked hard my whole life. I'm not letting these people seize my private property.

When you order anything over the phone, even on the internet, you don't have to deal with a human being, but over the phone, when you order anything, the odds of you getting someone on the other end of the line who is competent are about 10 to 1 last night. So, I wanted a meatball hero with Parmesan. That's what I wanted. Easy order. Meatball hero, Parmesan, Meatball Parm. I call up a place that makes that pretty well in my area. Young woman answers. Hi. I give my name because I've ordered from that restaurant before.

I said, I'd like to you. I'd like to have a two-go order that I'll pick up. I need a meatball Parmesan hero. Then I said it again. I need a meatball, Parmesan hero. Silence. About 30 seconds. I went hello, and a woman was,

I'm trying to type your name into the computer. Why? I said, well, it's Bill O'Reilly that maybe could take you six seconds. Now I'm trying not to be nasty. I am. I'm trying to be neutral. Then she says, what did you want again? Third time. Okay. Meatball, Parmesan, hero, to go. I will pick it up, Bill O'Reilly. Silence. About eight seconds. You want Pomajon on it? I swear to God. what okay you get it you've done it you've been through it you have lived it i didn't get mad i was i guess and the reason i didn't get mad was because i have a new mantra about patience

it comes from a bill murray movie called meatballs interesting right meatball parm movies called meatballs roll the tape do you know that every Mohawk competitor has an electrocardiogram blood and urine tests every 48 hours to see if there's any change in his physical condition do you know that they use the most sophisticated training methods from the Soviet Union East and West Germany and the newest Olympic power Trinidad Tobago but it doesn't matter it just doesn't matter it just doesn't matter I tell you it just doesn't matter It just doesn't matter.

It just doesn't matter. There you go. It just doesn't matter. That's my mantra when I'm dealing with these people. Now, there comes a point where you have to say enough. I understand that. But I'm not getting testing. I used to.

And then I said, you know, the poor girl, it's probably 17, you know, you just. just doesn't matter. Smart life, if it's a little thing, be patient, let it go. New poll, real clear, thousand American adults. I love this poll. We hear this. First question. We'd like to ask you about various things some people believe in. Please indicate each one that you believe in or not. Ghosts. 61% of Americans believe in ghosts, 39% do not. Now, a lot of my friends believe in ghosts. I never saw one.

I've been in spooky places. Okay, second one, the devil. Do you believe in the devil? 70% say yes. Do not believe 30. Now, if you read Killing the Witches, that's the best devil exposition you'll ever get. So I do believe in the evil one, as theologians call it.

Do you believe in God? 85% of Americans say yes. Ooh, that's going to really, really rankle them in Hollywood. 15% are atheists. Don't believe in God. Aliens, do you believe 57% believe? Do not believe 43%. Okay, so most Americans believe in aliens.

A woman I knew years ago, extremely honest, very religious, you know, very, very solid, told me she had an alien encounter. And she was horrified telling me, and I listened. But my question is, all over the world, there are hundreds and hundreds of countries. And not one of them has produced alien evidence or UFO solid evidence. One? I don't believe in aliens. Jesus is God or the son of God? Believe 80%. Don't believe 20%. All right. I'm of course a believer. Witches. Whoa. Believe in witches 46%. Do not believe 54%. But, you know, if you believe in the devil, the devil drives the witches. So, Miracles, do you believe in miracles?

Al Michaels, the ice hockey team. 83% believe in miracles. Do not believe 17%. I believe in miracles. I think miraculous things have happened. Reincarnation. I'm coming back as Holly the Territog, by the way. Believe 48.

Do not believe 52, evenly split. Heaven, do you believe in heaven? 85% say, yeah. do not believe 15% and finally hell 70% of Americans believe in Hades it's another word for hell H-A-D-E-S and 28% say nope no hell we can be as bad and wicked as we want to be

and we're never going to be punished okay I hope there is a judgment day in justice interesting poll right stay in history January 11th 2020 the first COVID death announced by the communist government in Beijing 61 year old man Wuhan China respiratory failure first public death okay China says that the virus the COVID-19 virus that killed the 61-year-old came from a wet food market. Now, as I explained at the time, I've been to those wet markets. They're

disgusting. And people eat raw bats and snakes and drink blood of animals and do all kinds of insane things there. So it's not inconceivable. But that was a Chinese explanation, and they're still sticking to it. After years, actually three years, the U.S. Energy Department concluded accidental leak in the Wuhan lab led to the coronavirus being out there. Accidental leak, not weaponization. Sounds logical to me. All right, deaths in the United States, 1.1 million. There have been more, unreported, not ascribed to COVID.

Say 2 to 3 million people here have been killed because of COVID. And around the world, 7 million. according to the World Health Organization, which is totally useless, I'd say 14, 15 million around the world. All right. Did the United States fund the Wuhan Lab? Yes, up until July 2020, six months after the first death. We funded it to the tune of $1,414,000. We gave China that money to research medical stuff in Wuhan, but we don't any longer. All right, this day in history, and that's what happened. Okay, quick break, mail segment, lively.

And the final thought about somebody doing nice things for you. Right back. Okay, let's get to the mail. We got Claudia. So Michelle Obama has qualified to be president because she was first lady for eight years. suddenly I'm imagining Mamie Eisenhower making a run or Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan

pretty amusing at least Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State no not a very good one it takes ambition I guess and maybe an ambitious husband okay Claudia if you're going to do that analysis with Michelle Obama

then you're going to be hit with well Donald Trump didn't have any political experience either just so you know Mike Gibbon Sioux Falls, South Dakota, nice town. Billy's statement about founders never envisioning the progressive movement is probably true, but Benjamin Franklin did say, quote,

when the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic, unquote. Good quote. A lot of quotes in there, but yeah, once the government is Sugar Daddy or Mommy, people vote to get money. not on what's best for the country. We've got a lot of that now. Voldemar Muleing,

Colorado Springs. Bill, I'm no, I'm not a premium member, but I have a question. Hunter Biden showed up in the House and once again basically gave the middle finger to Congress. How much longer will we need to put up with the Biden corruption?

Well, number one, you don't have to be a premium or concierge member to get your letter read. Okay, this is what you're going to do. what the mail segment is. All, you don't have to be a member. Number two, what do you want? The Justice Department works for the president in the United States.

Who is at the nexus of all the Biden family corruption? So, you know, the Republicans in the House are trying to expose it. But it's probably going to be after Biden leaves that will all know what really happened. happen. Ronald Bedrow, Stero, Florida. Bill, great show, particularly your interview with Congressman, with Tom Swazi running for Congress in your district. Great questions you wouldn't let him skate. I don't, I don't let anybody skate. You know, and we'll have

the Republican running against Swazi next Wednesday here, and I'm not going to let her skate either. No skating zone. J.F. Cox, Bill of Vista, Arkansas. Can you explain how the government is able to freeze or hold assets of other countries? Yeah, sure. They tell the bank you don't give any money out from the account. And if you do, we'll put you on a list where you won't do any transactions with the United States or NATO. So the money is in these big banks.

And if the bank doesn't freeze the account, they don't get any more business. That's how they do it. Jeffrey Brown, Benita Springs, Florida, can you answer the final jeopardy question? The two closest state capitals, at least 40 miles apart, one was founded by someone no longer allowed in the other. Because I read Killing the Witches, I was able to get it right. Providence in Boston, right? Providence, Rhode Island, Boston, Massachusetts, and is referring to Roger Williams,

who was kicked out of the Plymouth Colony. He went to Providence, formed his own colony, but he couldn't come back to Massachusetts Bay. Good, Jeffrey. Very good. I'm glad you got that Jeopardy question. And Providence and Boston very close together. Done that ride many times. David Sloniker, Springfield, Oregon. Bill, I fully understand and share your feelings about the cost of sandwiches and other restaurant food, but owners do have a lot of expenses.

with food costs of 35% and inflation and labor utilities rent is harder than ever to make a profit. Look, I feel the pain of the small business owner. But as a consumer, I'm not going to pay $20 for a sandwich. And if you charge that much, you're going to go out of business. Because people aren't going to pay it. I could see it in my own town.

A lot of businesses closing because prices are insane. People aren't going to go there. It's competition. Dano. Hey Bill, one book I don't recommend to read before going to sleep is killing the killers. I lost 24 hours of sleep reading that one. Killers is intense. It's no doubt.

Alice, I had trouble sleeping the last couple of nights and I have books piled up beside my bed. Reading relaxes me and I learn stuff. I've read all the killing books except which is. We'll get on it, Alice. Come on. Killing the Witch is one of the best. Got to get on it. Okay, if you become a premium of concierge member

to Bill O'Reilly.com, you get any book free. Greatest deal. And in this election time, with all our stuff that we have, and remember, concierge members get transcripts of the show. I'd a yell at somebody today, a concierge member, who misquoted me, and I'm going, what are you doing? Just get the transcript of what I'm going, I said. Okay, there's a lot of benefits there. Go to the bill o'Reilly.com store. Where did

the day do not be a SOP? SOP. No SOP. Final thought about kindness in a moment. All right, here's the final thought of the day. So I got a FedEx the other day, Big Box, and it was from a viewer named Travis Canuti, Travis Canuti. And he said, me this, throw it on up on a screen, I'll describe it on the radio. It is an outstanding hand-carved stand-up for your country. I mean, it's beautiful. And Travis took the time, put it together, and send it to me. How nice? I'll have that the rest of my life. And Travis didn't put, I don't know where to reach, Travis. If you're watching, send me your address. I'll send you a couple of signed books because I always want to be grateful, and that's what I do. If somebody does

me a kindness, then I look for a way to give back, even if it's not expected. So, Travis, if you're listening or watching, and send me your address by email, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, send a couple of signed books back. So in general, most people are kind of in the apathetic zone, and they don't really go out of their way to be kind. do quickly make a reputation for themselves, just like the bad people do. But if you're kind to strangers and you're just kind in general, my mother was. Everybody loved her. All right? You get a reputation. But when somebody does you a personal kindness, like Travis did to me, then you look for ways to reward that person. Yeah, I'll go overboard. But when I go to somebody's

home, I always bring a gift. I always bring, you know, something. just to show that I appreciate the generosity. And in America, that's not being emphasized anymore. Good parents do, and comes back to the top of the show, good parenting. But in school, they don't. I think there should be attached to a civics course in all high schools, a civility subtext to the civics course. So here in a democratic society where people depend on one

another for well-being is what you do is what you do all right so if you're going to somebody have for dinner bring bottle of wine and bring them dessert you kind of think of what they do if they have a hobby or whatever I mean be gift card whatever okay the kids they're not getting that they're not I got to pound it into my urchins so you're bringing something you know and friend of My son did him a big service the other day. I said, what did you give me? You looked at me like, what, what?

So what did you give him? And he goes, I don't give him anything. I said, what? You go out and you get him a gift card. What does he do? What does he like? You and your pal, you split it, because the pal benefited from this too.

All right? And you give him the gift card, which he did. He's a good kid, but I ought to prompt him. All right. So anyway, Travis, I really appreciate it. It's a beautiful piece. I'll have it the rest of my life. Let me know where you are.
