Hey, Dill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, January 9th, 2020, stand up for your country. Well, as we predicted, and it wasn't hard, we have a new speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, who endured 15 votes to get there. So we knew that McCarthy was going to be the speaker because there was no other viable candidate. And about 200 Republicans wanted him in that office. But 20 held out. Very conservative, most of them. And it wasn't a bad thing that they dissented.

But at the end, it devolved into something not good. And that is the subject of the talking points memo. So I'm not a party guy. You all know that. I don't follow the inner mechanisms of the Democrats and the Republicans. What they do doesn't concern me unless it hurts or helps you. And in order for that to happen, it has to surface into legislation or hearings. And then I get involved.

but do I follow Kevin McCarthy's career? No. Now, Pelosi was a different animal, all right, because she was hurting, in my opinion, the country. And so I did follow her. But generally speaking, I'm not real interested in the inner workings of either party. But here we had a transition from Democrat House, Pelosi, to a Republican House by your vote. And we wanted to see how that transition went down. And we did. And at the end, it was bad. So there were some good things that came out of it.

So the 20 dissenters, they got some concessions from McCarthy. And the concessions were that the way that bills introduced by the speaker is going to be different. 72-hour notice, not one of these big drops, and most legislation the House puts forth will be very clear and concise, not these humongous omnibus bills. That's a good concession, okay? That one congressperson can file for McCarthy to be replaced. That could lead to chaos. I don't see it ever happening, but I'm not going to argue with it. And term limit vote. Now, term limits are never going to happen.

The Senate's never going to do that. But the vote is fine. It's significant because it's symbolic. Most Americans, including me, want term limits. These people are in there far too long. Mitch McConnell should have been, you know, dropped in the pond years ago. but he's there odd infinitum.

Now, the two villains, if you will, because they're both going to get hurt, are Lauren Boebert from Colorado and Matt Gates from Florida. Now, Lauren Boberg just won by like 250 votes and she's going to lose next time around.

Gates, I don't think he'll lose. He's in a very conservative Florida Panhandle district, but believe me when I tell you that their fellow Republicans in the House and elsewhere do not have a good opinion of these two. Why? Back to me, please. Because they were gloating. You know, it was midnight on Friday, and it was a fait accompli already, right, that McCarthy would be the Speaker, and these two held out, and they didn't do it with any dignity. There was almost a fist fight between

congressman rogers of alabama and gates because everybody knew they were grandstanding it you know they were doing this for their own fame they had gotten the concessions that they wanted and there was also a lot of back dealing i didn't tell you about about people putting certain people on committees and all of that it's called horse trading always happens okay but gates and uh beauburn beyond the pale and It's just coming from a guy who doesn't care, but I went, you know, these two, it's too much. So politics is, they're going to remember that, they being the fellow House Republicans and the people in the district, you're going to remember. So they may think, Boebert and Gates, that they were, you know, victorious here.

No, you mark my words. all in all we now have a House of Representatives that is functioning we'll see how well it does you know again I'm going to watch it because what they do in the House affects all of us all of our lives and we hope the Republicans are honest I don't want to see any fake trials like the January 6th committee on the Republicans I want to see due process if they're going to accuse anybody on the Democratic side, including the president and his son, Hunter. Okay, but let's have a cross-examination of the evidence. Let's do it the right way, not the January 6th committee way, which was a total fraud. And that's the memo. All right, President Biden's in

Mexico. He's meeting with Oberdor, President of Mexico. Obedo's a corrupt guy. He doesn't run this country. The drug cartels run Mexico. And, you know, Bredor will do some things like capturing El Chapo's sun last week or whatever. But all in all, Mexico is a very corrupt country. I've told you that. I will not go there. That's how corrupt it is. And Mexico is beautiful country. I've been all over Mexico. I'm not going again. And then Trudeau is coming down from Canada for this meeting in Mexico City. It looks to be mostly about trade to me. Nothing on the border is going to get done. You got to threaten Obrador like Trump did. And again, I'll just reiterate really quickly what Trump did. And I know this as absolute fact.

He told Obrador, look, if you don't put the Mexican army on the Guatemala border and on the American border to stop this mass migration into the United States, I'm going to designate all the drug cartels as terrorists under the Patriot Act, and we're going to go in with drones and special forces and kill them all. That's what we're going to do. Now, is that a bad thing? No. Should the cartel be designated terrorists? Yes. What they are doing, with the drug smuggling is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. They are terrorists. So this Patriot Act should be used to wipe them off the face of the earth. If Oberdor was not corrupt, he would work with the United States to defeat these people to kill them. They need to be

killed. All right? You capture them okay, but this is, you know, when you read killing the killers, my book, Killing the Killers, you see how Trump decimated. ISIS, and they did it by killing the ISIS leadership. And that's what you do with the cartels. I mean, who's opposed to that, beside nutty progressives, who I guess want open borders and open drug smuggling? Anyway, Biden never do that. Overdoor's not afraid of Biden. Biden's got no gambling, no chips in the game. Nothing. He'll just go in and he'll sit there. Now Trudeau, he's got a lot of fentanyl problems up there in Canada. 21% of the Canadian population is addicted to some kind of substance. That's a lot. Okay? And there are thousands of opioid deaths,

mostly fentanyl, 76% fentanyl, in Canada. So Trudeau should be outraged, but he won't because he's a legalizer. That's what Trudeau is. He's a legalizer. It's a legalized. It's a legalized drugs across the board. So they're going to sit there and nothing's going to get done about drugs or the migrant situation with Oberdor. Overdor is going to end. Now, why Trump didn't do the designation of the terrorists is because Oberdor folded, okay, and he said, I'll put the troops and he did, which is what cut down migration in the last part of the Trump administration. And then Oberdor gave Trump a more favorable trade agreement than not many people know about. So Trump walked away from that negotiation a big winner.

Biden's going to walk away from his negotiation this week with nothing, I predict. The Biden administration spent $324 million in taxpayer funds last year on medical and dental health services for undocumented migrants, 324. Nearly 112 Americans, 44% of the population say they are struggling to pay health care bills here. 44%. Can't pay their own health care bills, insurance and things like that. Yet, Biden spends $324 million on undocumented that he allowed in with the open border stuff. Interesting, right? The El Paso visit on Sunday. You didn't get much coverage. Nothing happened. Biden flies in. Air Force One. He's on the ground for less than three hours. He walks around. People tell him how bad the situation is. He nods his head. He doesn't say

anything. I can't even give you a sound bite. All right? It's just ridiculous. It's absurd. And the only reason he did it is because he's being criticized for never going to the border. So after two years, he finally goes for three hours. Total waste of time. It is worth repeating. I don't want to be repetitive, but I have to repeat this. Two years ago, Joe Biden took an oath, his oath of office, to uphold the laws of the United States. That includes federal immigration law.

He has not done that. He violated his oath of office. which is an impeachable offense. Will the Republicans go after him on that? I don't think right away, but it's in their back pocket. Joining us now from Washington, Andrew Arthur is a resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. He is a former immigration judge. He knows what this is all about. So, Judge, did I set it up in any way that is erroneous or did I leave anything out? That's important. No, you made some very critical points. President Trump was willing to use the economic, the diplomatic power of the United

States in order to force the Mexican government to control their own southern border. That's really the only way that you're going to control our southern border is by stopping those migrants from Central America, South America, now all around the world from coming to the United States. and that is a key failure and error of the Biden administration. The Biden administration announced last week a number of different things, quotas on Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, all of this, to show the American people that they were at least engaged in this problem. Did anything Biden did last week,

is anything going to come of that to de-infentify the problem? No, in fact, it's going to make everything worse. President Biden announced that he's going to make 360,000 slots available. He doesn't have the power to do it, but he's going to parole 360,000 people from Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Cuba into the United States. And most remarkably, Bill, he's going to set up a process by which migrants can phone ahead for interviews at the ports of entry. these are migrants who don't have any right to be in the United States, where they can be interviewed and then released into the United States. I guess his idea is that there is some set number of people

who are going to enter the United States illegally. We know 2.2 million were apprehended last year, entering illegally on top of 600,000 who just came right in and didn't get caught. But, yeah, so all of those people who, you know, don't get those opportunities to come to the United States who, you know, don't want to show up for their interviews, They're just going to continue to enter illegally. And until President Biden actually enforces the law that Congress has written,

and that means by detaining aliens, by prosecuting aliens for entering illegally, or by doing what President Trump did and sending aliens back to Mexico to await their asylum hearings, nothing's going to change. And this is only going to make things worse. That was the remain in Mexico policy. Now, for the last two years, people, and the cartels take money to transport people here. They tell them when you get to the United States on their soil, you want asylum. And then the Biden administration was just releasing them, just basically saying, yeah, show up in five years when you're hearing will be set because they have such a backlog.

And you can go wherever you want. But the law says that you can't apply for asylum in the middle of the Arizona desert. You have to go to one of the ports of entry. But Biden didn't enforce that, correct? Yeah. And what the law actually provides for is if you get apprehended entering illegally, you can ask for asylum, but you're also supposed to be detained. And in fact, it's that lack of detention bill that has created this crisis. Remember, President Biden and his FY2023 budget actually asked Congress to cut the number of detention beds. He has available. He only wanted $25,000. You know, the one good thing, if anything good, came out of the omnibus was Congress said, no, we're going to leave that at 34,000 beds. But, you know, funneling migrants through the ports, funneling them across the border illegally, all of this is in violation of the law. And it is those violations, the law that has created this crisis and that aids and events the cartels you're talking about. The cartels

will send over large groups of migrants, knowing that the border patrol is going to have to rush over, flood the area with resources, send in buses. That creates core. corridors that the cartels can use to then ship that fentanyl into the United States. Bill, 107,000 Americans overdosed on fentanyl last year. More than that, Judge. More than that, because a lot of those fentanyl deaths aren't categorized that way in the local areas. But the diversion tactic is, as you just pointed out, send a few hundred migrants into one place. Border Patrol has to come in and regulate them.

and then leave the other parts empty so the cartels can bring in the narcotics. But it doesn't seem to me that Joe Biden really cares about this issue at all. I think that's apparent. I don't think anybody could make an argument that Biden cares about this. So then the key question, Judge, becomes, why does he not care? You know, I actually have a couple of different thoughts on that. One, we know that most Americans don't really know how bad the problem is. In a recent Harvard-Harris poll, 87% of Americans, you know,

underestimated the number of migrants who entered, who were entering illegally per year. In fact, 57% of them weren't even close. They were, you know, wrong by at least half. Two, Democrats really don't care about this issue in polling. We know that immigration, illegal immigration of the border, are an issue that polls, you know, it's the bottom of concerns for Democrats. Why don't they, with the astronomical amount of money being spent on the migrants themselves, not only on dental and health, but you've got to pay for where they go, okay, how to get there.

Then when they're there, the education, they have to be transported, they have to be put up places. It gets into the hundreds of billions of dollars after a while, you know, And Democrats don't care about that? No, in fact, my colleague, Mark McCoring at the Center for Immigration Studies, has, you know, very persuasively argued that, you know, progressives, liberals, Democrats believe that the immigration laws of the United States are akin to Jim Crow to the discriminatory laws in the United States, you know, throughout the 50s that ended in the early 60s.

And that preventing, you know, bill over. Riley from Massachusetts from or allowing Bill O'Reilly to live and work in the United States, but not allowing a similar person from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, to live and work in the United States is just not fair. Right. And for that reason, the Biden administration refuses to enforce the laws because they just don't think they're fair. All right, Judge. Well, just a curious question from me, when you were an immigration judge, who was the president? I served under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Was there any anomaly in either of those administrations that you had to deal with as a jurist?

No, actually. And for what it's worth, if President Biden would simply do what President Obama did at the border, we wouldn't have the problems that we have today, which just makes it all the more puzzling. All right, Judge, we really appreciate it. Thanks very much. And I hope we can talk again soon. You're the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

You can find it's at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, here is a poll that's very interesting to me, and I think you'll find it the same.

This is from CBS News, and it is the top issues for both parties. So let's do Republicans first. Here are the top issues for the Republican Party, according to CBS News. poll. Inflation is the number one issue, 89%. Border, 85%, energy production, 77%, crime, 77%. Okay, I think that's accurate. Those are the four big issues for Republicans. Now on the Democratic side, number one issue, Social Security and Medicare entitlements, 78%. Again, this is big government, giving, not giving, you pay into Social Security and Medicare, okay, but the Democrats are very interested in where that is and getting more. Okay. Climate change, 71. Now, climate change doesn't come anywhere close on the Republican side. Third, abortion, same thing, 67% of Democrats

are concerned about abortion and inflation down to 65%. where, again, in a Republican side, it's 89%. So why are the Democrats less worried about their wallets than Republicans because of the big government? They want to be taken care of. The Democrats do. They want to be taken care of. Okay, that is the big deal.

Now, here's a very important story. You know what I think about George Soros. For years, I've been tracking and reporting on him. Okay, so he's 92. years old, won't be around much longer. He has given $131 million in four years, 16 to 20, to 253 journalism and activist media groups. Okay, he's trying to buy media access. So 131 million in four years to these activist groups. This is, according to a study by MRC business, as part of the Media Research Center, a conservative group.

So who are the ones that are getting the money? Open democracy. This is an organization that is heavily gay. And they say, quote, it's time to abolish the nuclear family. This is a family destruction organization. Okay, remember, in all the totalitarian regimes, they don't want traditional families. families. That's bad. The second group is free press. Okay, what is free press? This is a political group that attacked Donald Trump, all right, in a very, very aggressive way. Then we have

Wikipedia. This is interesting. So everybody uses Wikipedia, right? Well, Soros gave them millions of dollars. Why? Because Wikipedia, its descriptions of what you look up are written by people who are primarily progressives. So I looked up O'Reilly Tiller. Remember Tiller, the abortion doctor, late term in Kansas who was assassinated? Okay, remember that? So I did a lot of reporting on Dr. Tiller, who basically was killing babies for $5,000. If you were a poor person and you didn't have five, he wasn't going to kill your baby. But he would do unbelievable things in violation of Kansas law. And after he was killed, his assistants lost their law, their medical licenses to practice in Kansas. But in my opinion, Tiller was.

Joseph Mangala. No difference. And I reported heavily on him. But Wikipedia blames me for his assassination. There you go. Soros money into Wikipedia. Then on the other front, the Pointer Institute in Florida, which puts itself up as this nonpartisan watchdog group, got a half million dollars from Soros. And NPR, you got 600,000. There you go. Soros buys influence. He buys access. Now his son, this is a, this is great, Alexandria, Alexander Soros, age 37. He is going to take over when George kicks it. This year, he's made six separate trips to the White House. He met with Chief of Staff Ron Clayne twice. He was on hand on April 8, 2022, when there was a confirmation celebration of Justice Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court at the White House. So Soros has got his

tentacles in the Biden White House. Now, this is why I am so hard on Joe Biden, because he is not looking out for the entire country. He is under, he is a prisoner of the progressives. Now, Claim, who Alexander has met twice with, he's a crazy progressive. And he controls Biden as chief of staff of the White House. All of this stuff never gets reported. But we're watching it closely. And there's no doubt about it. No two sides to this story.

So 70, 80 million Americans voted for Joe Biden, who's a prisoner of the progressive movement. Do you think those 80 million, that? No, most of them do not. Would it matter? Probably not what they hate Trump stuff. But they ought to know it. George Torres is the most extreme leftist operating in this country today at a level where he has influence. He is way off the chart. Okay. Terrible story out of Virginia. Abigail Zwerner, first grade teacher shot by a six-year-old boy at the Richneck Elementary School in Newport News. School is mostly black. We don't know about the six-year-old because the Newport News police won't tell us anything. So what about? How did this kid get the gun?

Who are his parents? What is this all about? You can't charge a six-year-old in Virginia with anything. Okay, so he's going to go to foster care of this kid, but he's dangerous. He's a dangerous kid. So what about his parents? You don't get a gun and bring it to school and shoot your teacher in a normal, home. Got to be a criminal home, right? Well, the Newport News police chief, Steve Drew,

not going to tell anybody. They're going to be forced to, but that should be right up front. Who are the parents? How did the kid get the gun? Now, this teacher is going to survive, but this kid shot her in front of the class. First grade. You know, I'm tired of these police. agencies covering up the crimes I'm tired of it and they do it because they're politically correct that's why so we're gonna stay on it horrible a six-year-old with a loaded gun going to school and shooting a teacher and we can't find anything out about how the kid got the gun or what is parents or we can't they won't say that is so bad because there are the teachers you know those parents have got to be

charged with something University of Michigan good football team loopy campus campus so it's 18 million dollars out of the University of Michigan to pay a hundred and forty two diversity equity and inclusion staff members, 18 million would cover more than a thousand students on a scholarship to University of Michigan. No, we got to have diversity, equity, and inclusion on the campus of the University of Michigan. So where do they get the money? University of Michigan, where? From donors, from alumni. You know, it's a good thing. school or used to be. Now I wouldn't send anybody there. But it used to be a really good school and they get a lot of money from their alumni. Well, there's where your money's going.

Smart life. Okay. So we do this almost every day when we have something of note to save you money or to give you tips about health or how to deal with certain situations that we know everybody's dealing with smart life you go to bill o'reilly.com and i hope you do it every day um you will see are we have it there so you can see it rather than hear and watch me tell you about it and by the way a column new column on bill o'reilly dot com i hope you read it about apathy and it's destroying america apathy okay so smart leg there are some credit cards that when you buy stuff they give you money back cash back so we looked at it and i'm going to give you three there are way more than three and this is up to you i'm not recommending this okay but these are options to get money in your pocket

chase freedom unlimited chase bank so after you spend five hundred dollars in your account they'll give you a two hundred dollar bonus this is after the first three months so you got to you know spend some money plus you get five percent cash back on a bunch of stuff travel groceries three percent on restaurants including takeout blah blah blah blah blah blah blah chase freedom unlimited if you don't pay your bill okay they can charge you 28% big interest just be aware okay so you got to pay capital one saver one reward same thing got to spend 500 bucks you get 200 dollars cash bonus that's not bad within first three months 99% if you don't pay. And they have 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, streaming, grocery

stores, on and on and on. Final one, discover it cash back. This is the discover card. So you get 5% cash back on everyday purchases, grocery stores, Amazon, restaurants, gas stations, up to a quarterly maximum. So there is a maximum on this. Okay. And I think in the others, there are a maximum amount you can get back. So you got to look at it. And again, if you don't pay, they can hit you for 27% big. It's a lot of money. But if you are smart managing these credit cards, you can get some money. But you've got to read it. And you've got to be able to afford to pay the balances when they come in. All right. This day in history, January 9th, 1918, the last.

battle between Native Americans and the U.S. military. So this is 1918, World War I, still going on, right? This took place, it's called the Battle of Bear Valley in Arizona. And it was the Yaqui tribe, which was a tribe of Indians that went back and forth between Mexico and Arizona. And they were, you know, like nomadic, but they would steal horses and cattle and, you know, they were annoying. They weren't like Apaches. They had been neutralized at this point, but they were annoying. And they came into contact with a U.S. military unit on the border, and there was a firefight.

And that was the last battle, 1918. Now, if you read Killing Crazy Horse, the biggest campaign, the last campaign, was Chief Joseph in the Nesperos up in the Pacific Northwest. That was fascinating. I'm very interested in the Native American saga in the USA. This is why I'm telling you about. But this day in history, January 9th, 1918, last battle between U.S. military and Native of Americans. So we got a mail segment and we got a final thought on Elvis Presley's birthday, which was yesterday, right back.

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, lawful. makers, 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, let's get to the mail. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. Go to Sherry Rose in Kenoga Park, California. Do you think McCarthy supported the Omnibus Bill has anything to do with his rejection and speaker? He did not support the Amundice Bull. I can't say this. Omnibus Bill. Amnibus.

He didn't support it, Sherry. So you got, I know it's a lot of stuff coming at you, but he was against it. Bill Humphreys, Palmetto, Florida, I've said for years that term limits need to be in place. The current fiasco shows how ego's desire personal interests are more important in public business. Yes, you're right. Term limits should be there, but they're not going to happen. Bill Phillips, Milford, Connecticut, if there was a time to get rid of the two-party system, it's now. George Washington warned us of the problems that a two-party system would cause.

Enough already, okay, but with all the money in politics and the Supreme Court has ruled, you can do that. Not the third party going to be very hard. So our system is our system. I don't like it either. But it's not going to change. Jerry Taylor, Nancy, Kentucky. A friend of mine who lives in South Texas plans a trip to Mexico. He was warned by the Border Patrol to only travel on Highway 45 due to crime, kidnapping, and violence.

I attribute the mess in Mexico to Joe Biden as lack of interest in what's going on on to border. No, that's not fair to Biden. Mexico has been chaotic and violent for a long time. Long time, way before Biden got there. It is a corrupt country. Steve Cottle, Asheville, North Carolina, is not upholding the law the same as breaking the law. No, because of prosecutional discretion. So it's a legal term, but if you don't uphold the law, that doesn't mean you break the law.

However, with the oath of office, you're violated. that, you can get booted. It won't happen, but you can. Andrew Steinley, Holly Springs, North Carolina. Hey, Bill, just want to say you were right regarding the airlines. My family is one of those unfortunate casualties of the Southwest debacle over Christmas. Our Southwest flight was canceled on Christmas Day, and then he goes on Andrew to tell the horror story. So, and it's not getting any better.

You book our airline, so I say, look, check in the bag, send them FedEx, wherever you're going. Don't check them. That's just crazy, because if it gets canceled or whatever, you're dead. And the second thing is, if you can drive it, drive it. Stay overnight or whatever it takes, but you save money and time because those airlines, I mean, last week it's 40% of the flights were delayed. $40%. Cheryl Parker, Germantown, Tennessee. I am loving, killing the legends.

You're an excellent writer, Bill. I love how you have it in the present tense. I'm 65, and I loved Elvis. I also remember the Beatles, and when John Lennon was shot, I learned many things from killing the legends. Still going strong yesterday was number 13 on the New York Times list, Killing the Legends. Can you believe it?

This book came out in late September. It's now January. It's still number 13 on the New York Times list. So I'm really happy you liked it, Cheryl, and millions of other people like it as well. Rodney Hammond, Punta Gord of Florida, just received the new no-spin red mug. I have to say it is one beautiful mug. Hey, all of our mugs, you know, stand up for your country and no-spin, the new ones that we have. have. They're going to last forever. You're going to love them. Okay. So there you go. Word of the day

to not be a snolly goster, S-N-O-L-L-Y-G-O-S-T-E-R. And all of our stuff, by the way, is in the Bill O'Reilly.com store. So you've got birthdays or stuff coming up. Go in there. We don't gouge you. We're, you know, keeping our prices down. We haven't raised them and all of that. And one thing that's almost out is the Holly the Terra Dog pick. Throw that on up here. So I only signed a limited amount of these things. And it's pretty funny, I have to say. Look at the Tara Dog. Look at her. Extra snacks. No doubt about it. Back with a final thought in a moment. The day on the no-spin news, Elvis Presley would have been 88 years old yesterday. It was his birthday.

And in honor of that, I watched on TCM last night, Elvis on tour. The guy, you know, when I write about him in killing the legends, you're getting, you know, what happened to him and his life and that. You're not getting what he did on stage and how charismatic he was. I mean, I've seen them all. And Elvis Presley was the most charismatic stage performer ever. Whether you like him or not or like his music or not, the guy was amazing in how he presented himself to his live audiences. It was just, last night I was watching, I just went, look at this, you know, and it evolved. You could see it evolving.

And, you know, he's got the dopey scarves and that big. But it worked. It worked. He's so charismatic, even at the end when he was bloated and all of that. And that's why you want to read, killing the legends. You find out why that happened. But even at the end, he was just magic on stage. I never got to see him.

I covered one of his concerts in Texas. I was outside the arena when Elvis left the building. His limo whizzed by me, but it had the smoky windows so you couldn't see him. But I never saw him. I made it a point to see everybody else, okay, all of the other legacy performers. I just wish I had seen him. Okay, thank you for watching and listening to the NOSPN News. We will see you tomorrow.
