Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Wednesday, October 4, 2023, stand up for your country. You know I'm a simple man, simple guy, and I like it that way. So I have a very simple analysis of this whole Speaker of the House deal yesterday. and the repercussions and on and on and on and on. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So the headline is a big victory for the Democratic Party. That's the headline.

Because the Democrats, once again, have showed cohesion. They stick together no matter what. And that's the message of the day. And I hope every day when you get up, you go to Bill O'Reilly.com and read the message. It's free. It's all of that. So when you have a party that's just not going to deviate that really doesn't have any intention of cooperating with the other party, that's the Republican Party, and vice versa to some extent,

you have power. And I was on a Hannity broadcast radio show today, and I said that this stems from Nancy Pelosi. Because Pelosi, when she was speaker, basically said to all of the House members who were Democrats, If you don't follow what I say, you're not getting a dime for your re-election campaign from the political action committees that I control. That was it. All right, you went against Nancy, you got no money. So they all stepped into line, which they did yesterday. Nobody voted for Speaker McCarthy to retain his position on the Democratic side, which was crazy because McCarthy was trying to broker a consensus in some cases.

All right, Democrats threw them over the side, and eight Republicans did as well, as you know. So the Republican Party looks weaker than the Democrats to the people watching, the independent people. Now, one of the reasons is there is no leader of the Republican Party, as I said yesterday. Donald Trump's not a leader of the Republican Party. He's not even a Republican. I mean, he's running on a Republican ticket, but he's a popular. and he has embraced traditional tenets. The bag of people are traditional conservatives, so he gives them what they expect and they're loyal to him. But he doesn't know the history of

Republican Party. He doesn't know all of that. He's not ingrained in that. And when I hear Trump Speaker of the House, I go, come on. Look, if Donald Trump were to say, look, I'd like to be Speaker of the House, there'd have to be a vote in the House to make that happen. every republican would have to vote for don't trump and every republican would not they wouldn't there are house members on the gop side that don't like trump so trump would get humiliated he's not going to put himself up for that vote ever he doesn't want the job anyway so when i hear this i just go you know i don't want to be arrogant supercilious but i go i just don't know anything. Anyway, the aid Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy are conservative people and they want

to stop government spending. That's noble. Okay, government spending wildly out of control because the Democratic Party buys votes. Everybody knows that. And they're not going to stop. But at this point in history, there's no way the Republicans can do anything about it. Yeah, you could pass legislation in the House to stop spending, cut spending by 30, 40%, but guess who's going to veto it? Guess who's going to veto it?

Does the name, Joe Biden, mean anything to you? It's not happening. The only way it could happen is in 13 months for the American people to give Republicans power in both houses of Congress and the presidency. Then the Republicans would cut. But to

put a symbolic like Bill up that like Matt Gates wants to do, and the House would pass it by one or two votes, okay, but then what? Nothing. Nothing happens. So McCarthy loses his job because he didn't want to be put in that position to shut the government down. I just, I thought McCarthy, I'm not a political guy like that, but I thought he did a decent job. I mean, there's no reason for him to lose his position. So getting back to the leadership of the Republican Party, the strongest leader the GOP has had in my lifetime is Newt Gingrich. He was almost terrifying as Speaker of the House. He is so angry today, roll a tape. From my position as a long-time Republican activist, they're

traitors. All eight of them should in fact be primaried. They should all be driven out of public life. What they did was to go to the other team to cause total chaos. We ought to be focusing on Biden. We ought to be focusing on the economy. We ought to be focusing on the border. Instead, you're going to get a week or 10 days of the media focusing on Republican disarray. Absolutely true. What he said, absolutely true. Okay. Long term, doesn't really matter, okay, for the next year, because the Republicans control the house. So it's Jim Jordan versus Steve Scalise. Both men want to be speaker.

I don't know who's going to win. I'm not in there. I don't know. I don't know about Scalise's health. I just don't. I can't make any calls on that. But there'll be a new speaker fairly soon, and things will go on the way they're going.

But all of this did not have to happen. And that's a memo. 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. 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, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899. 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. all right president biden today did nothing as usual uh he uh delivered an update on canceling uh more student debt so the federal government is saying that a hundred and twenty six thousand americans who borrowed money from the feds not private from the feds uh they owe nine billion with a wave of the pen Biden says you don't have to pay it back who has to pay it back well it just goes to the debt So the government will borrow money to cover the $9 billion, and the debt will go up, $34 billion right now, trillion right now. I can't even say the words.

The debt's $34 trillion. That is Biden. Ah, yeah, I like this. Anyway, this caught my eye. So there's a website called OpenThebooks.com. looks at government spending. Open the books, one word, dot com. And according to government accountability office, under Biden, the feds have spent $3 billion on furniture. Furniture. Office furniture. Three billion. Federal government spent. Office furniture.

Okay. They got, I guess they're not going to that. What is that? Swedish, Danish place, Kia, IKEA, something like that, three billion bucks on furniture. Southern border is getting worse. This is an astounding statistic. In the last two years under Biden, more than a ton of hard drugs has been seized by the feds at the border. A ton, more than a ton. and fentanyl and meth, they don't weigh that much. I mean, you've got to stack it. And it's estimated that maybe the authorities stopped 20, 25%, so 75% of the drugs, the illegal drugs, get in.

So wherever you are in America, there's no problem getting hard drugs. You can get them. There's guys selling them. No problem. In liberal states, the people who sell them don't get punished. kill you, some poison, eh, it's okay. It's all right.

So this is the result of the open border. When you have the millions of people coming across, some of those people who carry narcotics. This is the way it is. All right, so that's number one. Mexican violence is now coming to America. Not that we need more violence here, but listen to this.

Homicide rate in Mexico, 25 per 100,000 residents. 25. You know what it is for the USA? 8. So Mexico is three times as violent in a homicide area as the USA. And finally, Homeland Security investigators tell us that the cartels who smuggled the migrants in, the people smugglers, are going to make more than $13 billion this year by smuggling people in the United States. All of this is on Joe Biden's resume. no one else responsible but him may orcas is a puppet mayorgas does what he's told but

the biden the bide administration is telling mayorkas what to do which is nothing don't do anything just sit there them all come across with all the drugs so looked around i get somebody to analyze this with me and as you know my solution is an executive order for a year that biden would sign today that says no more asylum requests because we got to take care of this chaos that we have created. But it'll never do it in a million years. But that's how you would stop it, or at least most of it, in a very short period of time. So Mike Baker is with us. A former CIA operations officer. He knows the world very well. He has a new podcast on the first TV, Daily Brief, and he comes to us in Boise, Idaho. There's a lot of CIA guys up in

Idaho, I understand, right? It's kind of like rural out there and you guys do what you can do. It's good living. It's good living. And it's a CIA relocation program. So when you leave the agency, they give you a bus ticket to come to Idaho. There's a lot of interesting characters in Idaho, isn't that for sure? All right, so my executive order, that makes sense to you, I'm sure, right? It does, but much like, you know, what you said during your talking points memo about other issues, And as you pointed out, it's not going to happen. This is a perfect example.

What's happening at the border is a perfect example of a self-inflicted wound, right? As you pointed out with the ousting of the speaker, the border situation didn't have to happen this way, right? But if you asked the cartel leaders in Mexico, if you got them all in a room together, you know, before you blew that room up, but if you got them in a room together and you said, you know, what would make your job easier? What would increase your profits? They would all say, lighten up the security at the border. And that's what's happened. And so it's no surprise that the cartels are now making more money than they've ever made before.

And that's off of human trafficking and drugs primarily. And they're killing more people than they ever had before. So the murder comes along with it. So the Biden administration comes in, day one, knocks out remaining Mexico policy that stopped. 80% of the illegal migration and the asylum into the United States. That was in Trump's last year. He got that done. Why do you think President Biden knocked that out and opened up the border?

Well, I think there was immediately this idea that anything that the previous administration, the Trump administration had done, we've got to reverse, right? And it was a knee-jerk reaction on several fronts, including the border. But reversing Trump-era policy on the border just happened to have the most significant impact on the average American in terms of the increase in drugs being moved into the United States, the increase in violence, the demand on city resources. Look, you know it's bad. You know the situation is bad when Eric Adams, the Democrat mayor of New York City, is now in Mexico and will eventually end up at the Darien Gap, which is a, you know, a key part of the route that most of the immigrants are taking to get up to the border and then into the United States. So you know it's bad when there are some Democrats now complaining to the White House and putting pressure on the White House to say,

look, this is, you know, they're admitting. It's in our backyard now, and it's ridiculous. You have to do something. But I still don't know why. Now, the CIA does not operate in the United States. It's not allowed to, but certainly knows what's going on to Mexico, because Mexico is the biggest threat to us, right? right now. CIA knows that. The CIA would know if you open the border up for anybody who is claiming asylum, anybody. And then you allow them in and five years down the road, maybe you adjudicate their asylum request, you're going to have millions of people take

advantage of that. That's not a tough analysis for a CIA person, okay? But that's exactly, it's exactly what happened. But I'm still trying to get it. the CIA director, the current one, must have told Biden that, right? The people must have said this is cause and effect. You do this. This is what's going to happen. Correct? Yeah. Yeah, look, the Biden administration. Why do it? No, they're not stupid people in the White House. We shouldn't make that mistake. So they do hear it and they are getting this advice. They're getting it from a variety of different agencies, not just the agency in terms of, you know, open borders or, you know, the next best thing to open borders, are a threat to national security.

Look, in September, as an example, in September, there were 260,000 encounters at the southern border. 260,000, right? That is bigger than the population of Laredo, Texas. So that's, we've added an entire town. Those are just the individuals that are encountered. We have no idea. We can extrapolate numbers, but it's a guess. We have no idea how many gotaways there are, and we have no idea, therefore, how many individuals are coming across the border that are threatening to our national security interests, right? Potential terrorists and other. We know all of that. We still don't know why Biden is doing it. Why is Biden doing it? Yeah, you know what? If I could get inside Biden's mind, well, immediately I'd want to leave. But if I could do that, yeah, I don't know

is the answer. I suspect in part there was this knee-jerk reaction. If Trump closed the border, it must be bad. So therefore, we must do the opposite. But there are Democrats who do believe that closing the border or having border security is racist in some fashion, anti-immigrant. Look, every nation, every nation closes its borders and worries about its protects its borders. I mean, try moving into Mexico. Try going illegally into Mexico and getting a work permit. It's never going to happen, right? But the U.S. is the one country that seems to apologize when we talk about protecting our borders and understanding who's coming on. Progressive movement. I mean, they're behind it. Okay, tell me about the Daily Brief on the

First TV. What are you doing there, Mike? Sure. It's called the President's Daily Brief. And the idea is, much like with the PDB that goes to the White House every morning from the Intel community. It's just the top line. The top issues of the day around the globe, we provide just the facts, a little bit of context, and then we get out and you get on your way. So maybe 20 minutes every morning during the week, a new episode hits. We'll tell you what's going on in the world that you should keep an eye on, something that maybe hasn't hit the radar yet, and you need to focus on. We'll put a little context in there, and then you're off and you're informed and you can start your day. That sounds good, Mike. We really appreciate your

expertise. We are seen on the first TV as well. So we're like brothers in arms now. And whenever you see something that's a danger to national security, because you're in the world, let us know because we want to stay ahead of the curve here. Mike Baker, thank you very much. Appreciate it. All right, let's go to Boston, my second home. So Boston has managed to keep its crime situation fairly under control. One of the reasons is it's a segregated city. the minority communities are in certain areas and that is most cities but in Boston it's very pronounced and Boston's not a large city it's not like Chicago all right and and so the police Boston police are able to keep the

mayhem contained or at least have been to this point so they established the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, Brick, okay? And what Brick does is sends undercovers in to ferret out violence. So violent gangs would be their targets, terrorism, remember the Boston Massacre thing, everybody in the Boston Massacre, a Boston Marathon and the terrorism. That's what Brick does, but it needs money from the City Council. City Council Boston said no, seven of five. Why? Because the seven loons are just what we talked about on the border. Oh, no, you're going to target blacks and Hispanics, though we're not going to give you the money. Okay. No evidence to back that up. Just they believe these seven, uh, public safety, we want to be woke, right?

Public safety, yeah, we don't care. No violence. Ah, even though. blacks and Hispanics are killed at a higher rate to whites, nah, no, we're noble, Boston, there you go. Life expectancy in the USA, this comes from a Washington Post study released yesterday is the lowest it's been since the mid-1990s. So you can expect to live to be 76 years old here okay um that means i'm checking out fairly soon uh in 2014 you could expect to live to 79 so it's dropped um three points three years that's pretty astounding so and they break it down along racial lines native americans 65 years that's alcohol and things like that in puning native of Americans. Black Americans 71, white 76, Spanish, 78, Asian 84. It's diet. That's what

this is. So in 1990, 12% of all American adults were considered obese, grossly overweight. Now the number is 42%. It's diet. This is what's killing everybody. So this study says that people are dying most from heart disease, liver disease, cancer and diabetes. Okay. They don't get into drugs here, although my theory is, and it's just a theory, that if you are taking hard drugs, that's going to crush your immune system, and you're going to be more than likely to acquire any of the other diseases. An enormous amount of Americans take drugs, enormous, more than any other country on the face of the earth. so anyway we're down three years in life expectancy if you are eating and drinking a lot of sugar that's killer number one sugar if you are you look around you know what you're eating and drinking read a label on the iced tea that you throw into your mouth you you're doing that

you're going to live fewer years than if you don't do it i'm talking generally now but that's true and the people behind the headlines.

Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. So the Pope is scolding America. This is an interesting story. So Pope Francis is a liberal theologian. All right? I like him. He's a good guy, a kind guy. He lives a humble life. He doesn't live in the Vatican Chambers. He lives in an apartment. I know his background in Argentina. I was down there when he was a bishop of Buenos Aires. I was in Argentina in the Falkland War years. And I like him, but he's a liberal man.

He believes in climate change. So he writes an encyclical 7,000 words called La Dade Diem. Praise God. All right, that's Latin, of course. I'm an old old old boy. I know what that is. And the encyclical Skolls America. Here's the quote.

If we consider that emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries, we can state that a broad change in the irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model would have a significant long-term impact on climate change. Okay, but that's not really. fair because China puts way more emissions into the atmosphere the United States does through its coal plants and pollution. You know, go to Shanghai, Pope Francis, take a look.

Oh, I'm sorry, you can't go to Shanghai because the communist wouldn't let you in. So that, when he gets involved with politics, the Pope, it flies out the window, in my humble opinion. When he stays on theological matters, he supports him. And remember, if you are a Roman Catholic, the Pope is only infallible when he talks on theology, not politics. You know, I don't think he's got a grasp of real life. My opinion, I could be wrong. Love to interview him. Love to interview him.

Starbucks closing seven San Francisco stores, so the homeless people can't drink. Starbucks? They say it's not because of the almost in a violent. Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. They're going to open some new locations, so they say. San Francisco is a shell now. Smart life. Smart phones. All right. Where is my phone? So today I got a little thing from the federal government. You got it too, a little emergency thing on this. Smart phone. Everybody's got one, right? So there is a study out of the University of Surrey in England, 800 participants, and they look at your relationship with your phone. And this is what they found. Casual users of the phone, 15%. They go online for specific tasks, they don't linger around.

That's me. Okay, I need to look something up, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. helpful to me. But I'm not surfing or cruising. I'm not doing that. So I'm in that group. Initial users, 23%. They are kind of cruising around in there, a little more than they would like to. Experimenters, 22%. These are the people who really know all the dark web and where everything is. They can find anything for you. 22%. Average age, 24 years old. And they feel uneasy when they're not connected. When they don't have the phone in their hand, these people kind of get nervous. All right. That's the third category. Fourth carry, addicts in denial, 18%. These are people

who can't stay away from the phone. Have to be on it. But they won't admit it that they're addicts. And then outright addicts, 22%. They openly acknowledge they are addicted to the internet it and they recognize there's a negative impact on their lives, on their jobs, on their interpersonal relationships. They don't pay attention to their kids. They don't pay attention to their pets. It's all this, this, this, this. It's that pretty interesting study, I thought. Smart Life, why am I doing it there? Because you can't let anything addict you. You can't. So there's a Robert Palmer song, Addicted to Love, remember that? I love Robert Palmer, by the way, the late Robert Palmer.

And any time of an addiction will hurt you, because other things in your life will suffer. And this is so powerful, this cell smartphone thing. I mean, kids, they're just, and we told you yesterday, UK has banned them now in all schools, even in recess time. Can't have smartphone if you're in a public school in Great Britain anymore. And you've got to do that. So I don't know what category you're in on a cell phone thing, but if it's too much, back away. Back, just put it away.

You can do it this day in history. So yesterday we told you about Father Knows Best, okay, the sitcom 1954. This is contemporary history, okay? And Father Knows Best came in, and everybody saw, for the first time, the nuclear family. Okay? we went over that three years later guess who shows up beaver cleaver go you're going to be expelled out of the second grade we'll give you that crazy idea miss canfield gave me enough to take home a note what's in it i don't know it's a nor all right there's a lot of writing in there

Mom, I'm scared of what's in it. But you don't know what's in it. That's all I'm scared. All right, icons, right? Leave it to Beaver. Any baby boomer knows. So why was this show, and I'll give you the, you know, it 234 episodes, six years on the air, ABC ended it,

and I think it was on CBS to begin. And now there's still Beaver Cleaver, Leave it to beaver jokes. So why? It was the normalcy of the sitcom. Do they were a dysfunctional. And then they had this great character, Eddie Haskell, for the first time, a wise guy teenager.

I loved Eddie Haskell. I mean, he was beaver, ah, Wally, but I loved Eddie. All right, so what happened to these people? Jerry Matters still alive, 75, has three kids. has three kids. Tony Dow died in 2022 at 77. He got a lot of publicity when he died.

Again, that's a baby boomer's thing. The mom, Barbara Billingsley, she died at age 94. Hugh Baumounted the father died at age 72 from a heart attack. And Eddie Askell, Ken Osmond, he died in 2020, age 76. So leave it to Beaver debut. reviewed in 1957, and I was seven years old, and I'm watching the thing going, oh, that's Beaver. But Eddie, my man. Back with Mail and a final thought that you are going to want to hear.

This final thought is riveting. Back at a moment. All right, let's go to the mail. Donna. Matt Gett stood up and faced all of those. congressman down, who went toe to toe with them. One every single time. He had quick and intelligent responses to each of them. All right. So Donna's a Matt Gates fan. This is another Donna. Okay, we have one Donna who likes gets another Donna, a concierge member, direct access to me.

I'm very weary of Republicans who can't get their acts together. Why? Can't Republicans take a page to the Democrats' playbook, go behind closed doors, park their overheated eagles. goes at the door, close rank, do what is right for the country and the American people. I don't know what, perhaps because they have no leader. Maybe that's what. Patricia, timing is everything. Truly, there is no room for personal vendetta within a party that wants to win the hearts and votes of the people.

Ask Liz Cheney how that one worked out. I think Matt Gets is going to regret what he did, but that's just a guess. We'll see. Andrew, concierge member, Democrats don't have any standards of moral scruples. Every Democrat, Andrew, is no good ones. They always vote in block no matter what. What bothers me about voting in block to House McCarthy is that he made concessions with the Dems to get spending bills fast. That's right.

But the Democrats in the House are afraid. Very, very afraid. Ray Epfell, Los Angeles, California. I thought for changes to be brought, there had to be standing on behalf of claimant. I'm not aware of any lender's insurers complaining about Donald Trump in New York City. So why is this case going forward? Because the Attorney General says New York State is complaining. The people of New York State.

Trump somehow offended them or hurt them. That's why this is a witch hunt. Did I tell you the story yesterday if I didn't know? I'm sorry to be repetitive. So I said to a Trump guy, can every time Donald Trump says the words witch hunt, can he hold up killing the witches, please? My book.

That would be really good publicity. Because it's the same thing. It's what we're getting into in the book. Jeff Federico Coventry Road Island. Hey, Bill, why don't you have Tony Bob Alinsky on your program? Because he's been interviewed before. He said what he's going to say. Why would I want him to say the same thing?

Okay, I mean, I wasn't there. I don't know what Babelinski and Hunter Biden did with Joe Biden, so I can't challenge. You know, you can't do an interview unless you know what happened, and I don't. Now, Bobbalinsky is going to go before the House impeachment inquiry, I understand, and maybe if he says something different, then I would have a basis of an interview. But, you know, just don't put people on to sort of. about what we already know.

Roberta Staten, Texas, Gavin Newsom has a lot of gall searching out of state for the perfect black lesbian to take Feinstein's office. Because blacks are a very small percentage of California. Why not Hispanics? Why not the best qualified person, whether it's black, straight, lesbian, Hispanic, Asian, or white? Why don't we do that?

No. Because we have to have equity. We have to have, you know, preferences. Beverly Baldzell, Portland, Oregon, who has increased in national debt more, Trump or Biden? Okay. But Trump was a big spender. No doubt about it. Frank Adams, Germantown, Tennessee. Bill, I picked up killing the witches yesterday, finished it just now. You and Martin Dukes, Guard did an excellent job of bringing history to life. Well, we always do, don't we? I think so. 13 Killing Books, the most successful non-fiction book series in the world on the planet. Boy, I want to think about that.

It's just mind-moggling. So Killing the Witches sold 100,000 copies in the first week. We're very happy with that. But a lot of people still don't know what it is. And so we have an excerpt posted for you free on Bill O'Reilly.com. And it's about 1692, 20 individuals being murdered by clerics and crazy people in Salem. And now we have the witch hunt back. So we go to modern times in the book.

So that's what it is. We hope you will consider it. And if you're looking for a great deal, we still have Fall Madness, killing the legends, killing the killers, and any mug of your choice, 4995.

Back with a final thought that might amuse you in a moment. Okay, here is the... final thought of the day. So tonight I am flying to London, England. So I always fly to Europe at night because I can go to sleep and then I wake up and they give you a little English breakfast and then you're there. Flying, it's about six hours over there, I think. I got a good book. I'm going to finish it before I give it a plug. And then I'm off to Oxford. where my son is playing lacrosse and studying. So the Oxford lacrosse team waxed bath today,

because they're five hours ahead, 13 to 4. Okay? So my son is number 10 up there in a corner. And I got to see how my money is being spent over here in Old Oxford. Every time I call me, oh, everything's great. and I'm looking at the bills coming and I'm, you know, but I got to see what the lay of the land is. Now, I did the same thing he's doing. So way, way back in 1969, I was at the University of London.

And it took me 30 days to get adjusted to the English lifestyle, 30 days. A little homesick, and it was a little food was horrible. But after that, it was a blast, all right? And took my kid about two weeks, but now that's the same. The lacrosse thing is humming, so he's in on that, and I think he's in a good place. But anyway, so I'm going to go to Oxford, and I have been there before, I've been all over England. But I'm going to take a little Cotswolds jaunt, one of the nicest places in Great Britain, the Cotswolds. I like all that traditional stuff.

And then we're going to go into London and my old haunts and run around. But I really want to see the difference of the campus now at Oxford compared to what I was in, was it, 54 years ago. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That was a turning point of my life, by the way. So I got out of my Levittown, Long Island environment, New York, and I go over. two totally different situation and i had it was on my own i mean i didn't it's not like now we you watch the urchins pretty closely back then my my parents go have fun we'll see you in may okay here bye and you're over there and you're over there so and i was with some guys uh from my college went with me to uh spend 30 year abroad but here's why i it's such a good experience for you

you parents and grandparents who may have kids in high school and freshman and sophomore college, you meet so many different new people, and it takes you out of your comfort zone. And you have to fend for yourself, because there's not mom and dad around, it's not your friends around. It's not the comforting of the college chums or the fraternity people. You're there, and you've got to, you've got to negotiate it. And once you accomplish that, then you get more self-ful. confidence. So when I was over there at the University of London, I played hooky a lot. All right, I did fine. I wrote my papers and I did fine. But I went everywhere. I had a motorcycle. I just zipped around the continent. I went up to Norway. I went down to Morocco.

Because I felt that that was much more educational than sitting there watching some guy named Simon go, oh, yeah, so it's, you know, Simon's all right, okay. And I did what I had to do to get through Simon's class. But wasn't anything like the adventure of driving through the Alps, you know, and seeing what Europe is really like from the ground floor. I didn't have any money, so I had to stay in the bed and breakfast and the hostels and all that. Now it's more dangerous. Now you can't do what I did anymore. You have to be much more cautious because there's a lot of of people floating around and will hurt you over there, many more drugs over there than there were when I was in England. And the Vietnam War was big over in London when I was there

was interesting to see how they processed that. Britain was our ally in the Vietnam War. But there was the same kind of protest and all that. So anyway, zipping on over, the pond, as they call it. I will be back Tuesday, and we're going to have all kinds of great stuff. So we got two shock and awes that we're going to run. The first one is how to survive the Biden economy. That will be Friday. And then Monday, Columbus Day, we're going to do liberalism in America. These are two shock and awe specials.

Brand new, probably haven't seen them. So that's Friday and Monday. We're going to do a best of tomorrow on Thursday, and it'll go fast, and I'll be back here in this chair on Tuesday. In the meantime, we hope you check out membership on Bill O'Reilly.com. I'll have messages of the day. I'll have little tweets from abroad, all of that. So stay close with us.
