Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News Monday, July 29, 2024, stand up for your country. Well, I wrote a column posted yesterday, and the title of the column is The Stakes. It is amazing how many Americans have no blankened clue about what is on the table in November. I spell it out in that column. I hope you all read the column. I can't do any more than this. Beginning today, this program, the No Spin News, and our radio affiliates all across the United States,
Starting point is 00:00:55 we will have the smartest, most honest, election coverage in the United States of America. No one will approach us in accuracy and putting on the table what is really happening without propaganda. So you're gonna get it, and you're gonna get it tonight. You're gonna get a heavy dose of this tonight. But anyway, beginning today,
Starting point is 00:01:22 almost all of our focus is going to be on the vote, because it is so important for this country. And I'm going to walk everybody through the importance of it. This isn't about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. It's about you and your family and how you want to live. Because if the progressives win in November, everything changes in this country. All of our lives change. And again, most people have no idea.
Starting point is 00:01:52 So the talking points memo this evening is skin color and the vote. This is a very important talking points. So the polls, as you probably have heard, are getting tighter between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The major reason for that is that women of color who had no interest in Joe Biden at all have now come over to support Vice President Harris. It is as simple as that. Now, men of color aren't that convinced about the vice president, but women, a substantial amount of American women of color like Kamala Harris. And the reasons vary. But that is what moved the polls in her direction.
Starting point is 00:02:44 It's still very tight. Now, skin color will be on the ballot. but they say democracy's on the ballot, skin color is going to be on a ballot. And it shouldn't be. I mean, we should be way beyond this. Now, you vote for the person who you believe is best for the country. No matter what their skin color is. But the progressives are going to play that card and play it hard.
Starting point is 00:03:13 So right now, one of the more vicious race baiters in the United States, the man named Roland Martin. Just throw his picture on up there. He used to work for CNN. We don't really know what Martin does now, but apparently he's attached himself to the Harris campaign, and I don't know if it's a formal arrangement or not. Here are some of the stuff that Roland Martin puts out there.
Starting point is 00:03:36 The GOP, Republican Party, is a party of white supremacy. Any black person, even considering voting for, Trump is self-hating man adores white nationalists. Second one, racist Hulk Hogan, speaking tonight at R&C, how fitting. If I were a Hulk Hogan, I'd sue a guy. Again, you know, Hulk Hogan won that big lawsuit against Gawker. Farah Hogan, I'd file a suit against Roland Martin. He's called flat out of racist.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Hey, Hulk. You know? So this guy, you don't get more hateful in those two tweets, but I'll give you two more. Okay? Is it Martin Sid June 29th, 2003? Clarence Thomas is pathetic. He cites the founders. Same founders who supported slavery? Hell, they didn't want blacks to be free. They damn sure never envisioned us going to college. So the founding fathers were all racist, according to Roland Martin. How about another one? Black America, do you trust Trump? Do you trust a racist? Texas, xenophob person who's done nothing to help our communities. You see what I'm talking about here?
Starting point is 00:04:56 This is hate, right? That's it. H-A-T-E. And the guys on the Internet, of course, roll the tape. Black folks ain't caping for Donald Trump or feeling for Donald Trump thinking he's been persecuted. Donald Trump is a rich white man who has never. ever, ever been held accountable for his actions. That man started his career on racism.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Let me be absolutely clear, above the Supreme Court equal justice under law. But we know, because we can see it our own, a black eyes, that Donald Trump don't identify with any black person whatsoever. Race, race, race. Hate, hate, hate, hate. Now, Kamala Harris should absolutely disown this person immediately. And I, again, don't know whether he's attached to her campaign, but she should repudiate not only Roland Martin, but everybody who traffics in this kind of invective. if a white person went on and did that what he's doing and attacked black people the way Martin's attacking white people the founding fathers they're all racist according to all Martin oh yeah every one of them I mean it comes a point if I'm going to interview Kamala Harris I run that sound clip button you say do you support that
Starting point is 00:06:43 You have anything to do with Roland Martin? Is he on board on your campaign? Now, we're going to continue investigating this guy because we don't know. You know, he might be getting paid. I don't know. I don't know. I do know there's no place for his kind of hatred in this country, period. Election or no election.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Okay. The skin color business, the entire business, is anti-American, all right? It simply is. And there's no more I can say about it than if you do that. And there are whites who hate blacks, so you know it. But the black extremists, like Roland Martin, they can do this stuff without impunity. They get away with it. Again, if you're white and you're attacking blacks, you're done. So it's going to get worse, unfortunately, this tactic, because if African-Americans vote for Kamala Harris, the same way they voted for Biden in 2020, then Harris is a good shot to win.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Noble is that, because Donald Trump was making inroads into the African-American community. They have no use for Joe Biden. Harris plays that race card, and I'm going to watch every single day, every day. And she herself has played the race card. You saw it in the debate with Biden in 20. She basically called Biden and races for her for his vote on busing. Well, let's see if she does it this time, and that's a memo.
Starting point is 00:08:29 All right, New Paul, ABC News, Ipso's poll. Suspect poll, we'll get to that in a moment. 1,200 U.S. adults, not voters, not registered voters, not likely voters, just adults. That's ridiculous. You've got to get people who are engaged in the process when you poll. First question, do you have a favorable, unfavorable position of Kamala Harris?
Starting point is 00:08:50 Favorable 43 on April 42. That is up eight points since July 20th. In a week, she goes up eight points because of the media. Okay? That's why. Favorable or unfavorable Donald Trump. Faberable 36, unfavorable 52. So Trump is down four points in favorability.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Unfavorability is about the same. Now, final question. Do you think Kamala Harris should be the Democratic nominee? Yes, 52%, someone else, 44%. That's pretty close. So we know what's going on here. I'm just going to reiterate this one more time. so, you know, the closure of the polls is all due to racial politics.
Starting point is 00:09:45 That's what it's due to. 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. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door
Starting point is 00:10:14 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, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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 size, 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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. now the GOP is fighting back by putting out political ads these aren't from the trump campaign directly they are from political action committees supporting the trump campaign there's a difference but here's the tone go i often don't even look at a charge specifics when i bail someone out
Starting point is 00:11:49 the hennepin county attorney called out the minnesota freedom fund for bailing mosley out of jail twice previously, even though he was arrested for having a gun in the courthouse. The Minnesota Freedom Fund, which pays cash bail for low-income criminals, paid Tim's entire $10,000 bail in cash. 11 days later, police found a man bleeding from the head and ears in this alley. Police were able to arrest Tim's in connection to this violent assault. Howard was arrested in charge with second-degree murder. The Minnesota Freedom Fund acknowledged supporting Howard's bail.
Starting point is 00:12:24 All right, so Vice President Harris, as you'll remember, called for Americans to donate money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund after the George Floyd Riders. So that's who they're tying her into. And she is a radical thing. Again, if you read my column, she's radical. V-mo, by far, the most radical presidential candidate in a major party ever in this country. It's not even close. I mean, people go to George McGovern all. was who's a peacenick she all right joining us now from blah about New York north of New York
Starting point is 00:13:05 City is John McLaughlin who is a president Trump's pollster and we wanted to get his reaction to the narrowing of the polls which Mr. McLaughlin to his credit says it's true I mean he's not trying to you know gin up the numbers in support of his candidate. So is my analysis correct that it's women of color, the primary movers here? I think it's not just women of color, but it's also Democrats.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Because in those polls, there's only been eight polls in these eight days that have come out, and that are on the real clear politics average. Those are the ones that the media looks at and says, okay, there's some credibility here, there's some little referee there. They still have Donald Trump up two,
Starting point is 00:13:54 points in the average. And for somebody like me who had to sit through the Hillary lock in 2016, where we were always behind the national polls, the Biden blue wave in 2020, when they had us down like 10, 14 points in 2020 that, you know, the national polls, have us up two points after they've been pronouncing Kamala Harris, like this great honeymoon, this unelected. I mean, she was given the nomination and a deal with Joe Biden. She, she wasn't picked by anybody except the party bosses in effect and now the media is saying she's doing great so you've seen these polls like that ipsos poll you mentioned the abc poll i mean they're the ones out of 22 polls after the debate they had biden up too every other national poll had
Starting point is 00:14:41 biden losing that's on the real clear politics average and then they already this week had harris up too so they're basically manufacturing numbers like they did in 2016 that iller who's going to win that Biden was going to win. And they try to manipulate the election that way. That Ipsos poll, it comes off their own knowledge panel. There's only 29% of Republicans. We were 36. Do you think ABC News knows that that poll, as you put it, is not reflective of the American electorate?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Do you think ABC News is in on the game? Let me see, ABC News. You know ABC News. Oh, that's George Steffin-off. I know it very well. This probably was on his show on Sunday morning that George Stephanopoulos was touting these numbers. But here's a question. Do Stephanopoulos and the brood over there at ABC, okay?
Starting point is 00:15:38 Do they know that Ipsos polls more African Americans out of proportion than the rest of the polls? Do they know that? Well, they don't show you the numbers. They just say that it's weighted by whatever census data they have. But what I'm getting at is they basically manufactured this coup against Joe Biden. Because why? They're worried about his health? No, they're not worried about his health.
Starting point is 00:16:05 They're worried about he was losing in the polls to Donald Trump. Okay, but who manufactured the coup, in your opinion, John? Who manufactured it? The media and the Democrat elite bosses, where in effect, Hakeem Jeffries, who wants to be speaker, is worried that he's not going to pick up enough congressional seats. Chuck Schumer, who's worried about losing his center majority, is, you know, basically. But that doesn't have anything to do with Ipsos, though. And we reported that.
Starting point is 00:16:33 It's funny because I reported the chieftains, that's my word, of the Democratic Party, arrived at the conclusion that you just stated that Biden couldn't beat Trump. And then on News Nation, when I debate Chris Cuomo every Wednesday, he pushed back and said, oh, no, there are no chieftains of the Democratic Party. And I'm just going, yeah, there are, you know. But look, but don't you think, Bill, seriously, don't you think the media organs, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC that are all left the line? They're working hand in, they were working hand in hand to get rid of them. I just don't know how active they are in knowing.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I know they turn away, but to be fair, the Fox News poll has never been friendly to Donald Trump, ever. Right. Okay. Okay. So do the Fox News executives know that? Is the fix in? I don't know what I don't trust the Ipso's outfit, all right? Because I know what they do. So I don't even report them most of the time. I don't trust Marist. I don't trust Quinnipiac. All a bunch of them I don't trust because I know how they do it. All right. But I don't know whether the executives at these news organizations, ABC Fox, are in on it. I don't know that. Well, all I'll say is I miss Roger Ailes. I mean, serious. Well, Ales would not have, he was a very thorough guy in making decisions about what would go on his air when Fox News. Rogers is my boss at Fox News. Okay, now going forward,
Starting point is 00:18:12 the numbers are tight now. They say it's a honeymoon period. It's true. The media, is behind Vice President Harris, that's true. Do you foresee anything changing this that would help Donald Trump? Well, actually, Donald Trump's going to be the one who changes it, because he
Starting point is 00:18:37 and his campaign need to get out the facts about Kamala Harris' record, just like they did Saturday at the Minnesota rally, which probably didn't get that much coverage in the mainstream media, but they were talking about the Minnesota's Freedom Fund, where she was helping them raise money where they were bailing out criminal. Yeah, we just ran the spot. We just ran a commercial spot. It was for the campaign. And in effect, they bailed out people who later went on to commit murder and rape and other
Starting point is 00:19:05 things. But look at her record. She cast the deciding vote for the $1.9 trillion that Biden spent that triggered the inflation. She was a deciding vote in the Senate. She's responsible for inflation. She's the border czar. They're saying now she's not the border czar. And she's saying that she'll support Biden's asylum procedures. I mean, also she said she was against fracking and now she's telling us that she's flip-flopping on fracking that she's going to be for. I mean, they're trying to remake her image to get her apart. All that is true. But here's what concerns me as an American, not as a journalist. We're living in a country now where, I'd say at least half of the voters don't pay attention to any of this. They don't pay attention. They're on their cell phones. They're pursuing whatever they want to pursue. And they hear dribs and drabs of stuff,
Starting point is 00:20:03 but they don't know about inflation and who's the problem there. They don't know any of that. And when you get into skin color and you're going to then derive, you know, 70% of the people of color vote because Kamala Harris is a woman of color. I mean, then you're not even in the policy game anymore. You're not even in it. Well, that's incumbent on our campaign. Donald Trump and his campaign, it's up to us to tell the voters the facts,
Starting point is 00:20:35 inform them that she's way to the left, even to the left of Joe Biden, but also she's incompetent. And when you ask what voters like Least about her, she's incompetent. unqualified, she's a phony. She's a fool, and a fool cannot be commander-in-chief. So Donald Trump, we knew, was a successful commander-in-chief who got us out of endless wars, who beat ISIS, who stopped the Iranians when they were, you know, trying to take over our Baghdad embassy, et cetera. So you have a successful commander-in-chief that is up against someone who, as of today, while we speak, she says we have to respect the election in Venezuela that Maduro
Starting point is 00:21:13 stole from the opposition. I know. Look, this is my final question. I don't think the polls are going to matter much in the month of August. Everybody's on vacation.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Everybody just wants to get away from it. But after the debate, that's when it'll, and Trump has got to show dominance in the debate. If he does that, then I think he's got a very good chance to win, and I think the polls
Starting point is 00:21:43 will turn. Last word. I think you're exactly right. But it's more than just the debate, but it's also waking up America that we cannot have this radical and we cannot have a fool's commanding. I don't know if it's possible to wake up America. I really don't know anymore. People don't watch conventional TV anymore. They're not listening to talk radio is the way they used to. They're on the internet. The internet is hard to reach these people. I don't know if that's going to be effective. But everyone will pay attention to the debate. That will be the decider, in my opinion. Hey, John, let us know if anything breaks. We're very pleased to have you anytime. Thank you for taking the time tonight. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got
Starting point is 00:22:27 exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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,
Starting point is 00:23:12 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. Okay, so Joe Biden writes an op-ed in The Washington Post. He says the Supreme Court's got to change because the progressives don't. like the Supreme Court because they're not voting progressive.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's simple as that. So here's what Biden's this quote. And he didn't write this, somebody wrote a form. I'm calling for a constitutional amendment called No One is Above the Law. It would make clear there is no immunity for crimes of former President Committee while in office. I sheriff found his belief that the president's power is limited, not absolute. Nation of laws, not of kings and dictators.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Second, we have had term limits for presidents nearly 75 years. We should have the same for Supreme Court justices. The United States is the only major Constitution democracy that gives lifetime ceases to the high court. Term limits would help ensure the court's membership changes with some regularity. That would make timing for court nominations more predictable and less arbitrary. All right, I'm not against the term limit thing. I think it's got to be generous, though. The Supreme Court justices have got to be above politics.
Starting point is 00:24:34 They're not, but the system can't say if you vote this way, you'll keep your job longer. I can't have that. But the first is absurd. You're not going to get a constitutional amendment, Mr. Biden. You don't even know what that entails. And I'm sorry to be disrespectful, but if I ask you right now, what does a constitutional amendment entail? You wouldn't be able to tell me, okay?
Starting point is 00:24:55 And it's not going to happen. All right. By the way, I'm not going to give Biden's daily schedule anymore because he's not going to do anything. He'll go out. He's in Texas today. Sheila Jackson Lee passed, so he's going to do some stuff for her, which is good, but I'm not going to bother anymore. I will update you on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump if they do anything out
Starting point is 00:25:23 of the ordinary. I think that's fair. Let's go to the Olympics. You know, I wrote a message of the day and I said, you know, it looks like the U.S. men's basketball team, which is the biggest event, going to do very, very well. I'd be shocked. if they didn't win the gold. And I'm relieved because the coach, Kerr, the Golden State Warriors, makes all kinds of inflammatory left-wing statements all the time. But they behave. The basketball team is they haven't disrespected the country,
Starting point is 00:25:53 and that's just a tremendous relief. But the French government, disrespect the Christianity. I'm sure you heard about this. So throw that stupid float up there. Some alternative lifestyle people. mocked the Last Supper. That means they mocked Jesus in the New Testament. Okay?
Starting point is 00:26:13 Now, it goes without saying that these clowns never would have insulted Islam in that way, or even Judaism, and they probably despise Judaism because these pagans, they hate any kind of religion that actually has standards of behavior. They don't want any standards.
Starting point is 00:26:28 They want to do what they want. Now, I'm generalizing about these fanatics, not all people that choose alternative life. I'm not doing that. It's people who mock other religions, spit in the eye of believers. Those are the people. Now, to get away with it, because the Christian leadership is afraid, particularly the Catholic leadership. The L.A. Dodger thing that I covered extensively last year, that wouldn't step up. I mean, a couple of them did. of archbishops did, most of them didn't, okay? And this one, only Bishop Robert Barron
Starting point is 00:27:11 in Minneapolis, I'm sorry, Minnesota, he got out there on social media and said, what the hell with the deuce is this? But where are the others? They're afraid. They're afraid. And the Pope should have said something, but he didn't. So the French government says, it was just an homage for inclusion. Sure. Now, here's a very important story you know nothing about. And I'm not saying that to deride you. I didn't know anything about it until today when my producer handed me the morning news facts. Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, is in Brazil at a global warming climate change conference. She says to the world that something like $85 trillion
Starting point is 00:28:09 is going to be needed to neutralize climate change. We took a trillion dollars. Three trillion a year in new capital. Okay. And that's to get zero. emissions to get electric cars, to get technology, so we're not earning stuff that goes into the atmosphere. So Janet Young somehow knows that $3 trillion in a year, $78 trillion altogether. Now, other countries aren't going to pay this. They're not. I mean, Trump had to browbeat
Starting point is 00:28:49 the NATO countries to even pay their defense shares. So you're not going to see Canada and all these liberal countries kicking big checks into some kind of worldwide fund to combat climate change. It's not going to do it. What this is being used for is to increase the size of Washington, D.C., the federal government. So the federal government, the progressives are going to say to you, we're going to save your life, but in turn, you have to give us more tax dollars, and we'll decide where those tax dollars are going to be used. So we have to save your life. and the lives of all the children. But in turn, you gotta pump over more money to us,
Starting point is 00:29:31 the federal government, and we'll decide how that money is spent. This is what the progressive vision is. Control the economy. Control what the American people have in assets. Take from people and build a stronger government. That's what the progress, and climate change is the best way to do that.
Starting point is 00:29:54 way to do that. It increases the central power. The states can't combat. Climate change has to be done out of Washington. And that's why Yellen is running around doing this. You mark my word. You keep your eye on that. Kamala Harris will be out there every two minutes on abortion and climate change. On climate, we got to do it. And it's going to be us, not going to be India, not going to be China, not going to be Russia, not going to be the EU. Where? But that works for the progressives because they increase their power while your power lessens because you have less money. Smart Live. Okay, so I get a monthly report from Carfax. Carfax.com. I don't know anything about cars, but Carfax's pretty good. So they tell me how much my car is worth, if I want to sell it, they tell me what services are needed. So I got out oil change, tire rotation, whatever I mean, because I don't know anything about cars, okay? And they have a whole bunch of other stuff on their website. Okay, they look for car listings, valuations, maintenance advice, everything.
Starting point is 00:31:15 So if you want a report sent to you, it costs money, but if you just go in there and look, I think it's free, right? I'm not paying them any. I shouldn't say that. You got to put your car a VIN number in there, 17-digit VIN number. And some people don't like to do that for privacy reasons. But I think this car fax office is pretty good. But study it. But it's important you know about your car, because it costs a fortune if you don't. This is a report from the Hill. They solicited an editorial from me, op-ed from me, about the border. So it'll be interesting to see if they print it, because you know me. I just let it fly.
Starting point is 00:31:58 So I'll keep your posting on it. All right, so the Hill says that social media is now poisoning the election. So they give two examples. Trump's assassination attempt was staged. That's all over the social media. you know that. You've already seen it, I'm sure. And that Biden dropped out because he has a terminal illness. I get letters every day, every day from very well-meaning people quoting this stuff on the internet. I just go, stop. This day in history, July 29th, 2004, Senator John Kerry gets a
Starting point is 00:32:40 Democratic nomination for president. Okay. Boston, I was there. In fact, I was there with Ben Affleck way back in 2004. Affleck's mother at the time was a big fan of mine, so Affleck came over it. We had him on, a factor. I remember so well. So Kerry, he said he was reporting for duty. Kerry ran a pretty vigorous campaign against the incumbent, Bush the Younger, who was fighting the war on terror. Obviously, three years after 9-11, and had invaded Iraq, and Iraq was shaky.
Starting point is 00:33:15 wasn't well-defined like it is now that didn't work. That invasion was not what we should have done. We should have removed Saddam, but we should not have tried to occupy that country. You lost too many people, it cost too much money. Anyway, Kerry lost 286 to 251. Pretty close. And a popular vote was 62 million for Bush 59 for Kerry. And you can see Biden got 81 million last time around. And Trump got, what, $73 million? So the voting in America is way up. Okay, now I got a final thought. You're never going to forget back at a moment with it.
Starting point is 00:33:57 All right, here is the final thought of the day. So as some of you know, I have a home out in eastern Long Island, beautiful. In the summer, the best place on Earth, in my opinion. It's just gorgeous. Nature is incredible. No pollution out there, ocean, and Long Island Sound. clean, great fishing. This weekend, the dolphins were all over in my backyard. Jumping up and down. We got the whales. No sharks, by the way, because the currents where we are so strong,
Starting point is 00:34:28 sharks are out. My son called a Mako. Boy, that was something getting that into the boat a few years ago. Anyway, so you got to eat out there in long, and you got to eat out there in Eastern Long Island. The restaurants are insane. Insane. So I'm entering this place. I'm going to mention it, the Montauk Yacht Club. I'm looking at the menu. Roast chicken, $52, $5.2. Chicken. I don't even think they gave you anything. Maybe they threw on a vegetable buy. I was so open. I went, what? $52. You can imagine, steak and lobster work. The chicken is 52 bucks. So I have my producers look up the expression of fool and his money are soon parted. It comes from 1587. In England, John Bridge wrote it down,
Starting point is 00:35:39 and here is the quote, if they pay a penny or two pence more for the readiness. of them. I don't know what them is. Let them look to that. A fool and his money is soon parted. And it's true. What kind of a moron? I'm sorry, I don't care how good it tastes. What kind of a moron would pay $52 for a plate of chicken? I mean, you could buy 10 chickens and put them in a coop in your backyard. I think for $52. So it's getting out of control. The point of this is no one is forcing you to pay, overpay for anything, and you can get fair deals.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You got to look. You got to look hard. But they're out there. But a lot of wealthy people, ah, I don't care, it's chicken, I want chicken, it's $52. dollars. No. No. Now, I have to say that that restaurant was not crowded. I think people are going, you know what, we're not going. Even if you have the money, you want to set it on fire? That's what you're doing. You're taking a lighter and burning up the cash by paying those kinds of prices. So the Montauk Yacht Club is a lovely place.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I mean, right on the water is gorgeous. But you've got to bring your prices down out there. Or you're going out of business. I guarantee you'll go out of business. And you put a lot of money into Gussie and that place up. So I'm looking after you. You've got to be reasonable here. Okay, $52.
Starting point is 00:37:30 It's not going to cut it anywhere. Anywhere. I think I made my point. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the No Spin News. We'll see again tomorrow.
