Hey, Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the no-spin news for Wednesday, August 17th, 2022, stand up for your country. You know, August is supposed to be a slow news month, but thanks to Donald Trump, it is not. Also, I have a very nice piece on Bright Bart about me, your humble correspondent. We have posted it on Bill O'Reilly.com. I don't do much press. These days don't need to do it. Thank God. I do it when the books come out, but, you know, ordinarily not.

But a guy named David Nigg called me up, and he's a guy that did all his excellent reporting with Antifa and a courageous guy. We've had him on the program. He said, look, I'd like to do a profile of you and your business enterprises. And I said, okay, I knew Andrew Breitbart before he died. I considered him an honest man. So we were very pleased with the piece. We hope you read it. Let me know what you think.

Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. The talking points memo goes back to the busy August, Trump derangement syndrome, still in play. So Liz Cheney got waxed as we predicted here. Not a brilliant prediction. And I'll explain why it happened. Wyoming primary yesterday, she lost by 37 points. Really? I mean, that's hard to do. So the voters of Wyoming,

and you could cross lines there. If you were a Democrat, you could vote Republican and they don't have any restrictions. I mean, you said, look, Liz, you know, we don't like you any more. And I'll explain the reason why. But first here was Ms. Cheney's reaction. Go. Two years ago, I won this primary with 73% of the vote. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear. But it would have required that I go along with President Trump's lie about the 2020 election. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system

and attack the foundations of our republic. Well, it's not really true. I mean, she could have criticized Donald Trump. She could have said, look, I don't believe the election was fraudulent. I don't like what the former president is doing. Could have done that, and I think she still would have won the primary. But what put her over the top, as far as Wyoming voters were concerned, is that she allied herself with Nancy Pelosi. And you can't do that if you were a Republican because Nancy Pelosi is a radical leftist who hates the Republican Party. And that's what Cheney did.

And Pelosi used her to front the January 6th committee. I mean, you remember this famous picture with Cassidy Hutchinson, who, by the way, testimony that Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential limo is preposterous. But, you know, Cassidy has now disappeared because nobody's going to follow up on that ridiculous situation. But there's Liz Cheney hugging her. I mean, what do I think? Come on, Liz.

You know, you don't have to sell out in your estimation. But if you become a zealot on the other side, Republicans are going to go, no. And that's exactly what happened. So I knew it would happen, May 12th, 2021, almost a year and a half ago. Oh, here's what I said. All right. I don't want politicians punished by other politicians for their opinion. If the voters want to punish them, that's fine with me.

I don't believe Liz Cheney will be reelected in Wyoming. I could be wrong on that. That's ways away in 2022. But the problem with the congresswoman is she doesn't let it go. All right? It's on and on every single day. And that was the problem. So Liz Cheney now says she may wear in for president.

That's a pipe dream. Pipe dream, by the way, is a cliche. It comes from China. where people smoked opium in abundance before Mao Zaytung murdered them all for doing that. And so the phrase pipe dream, like it's a fantasy. It's never going to happen. Liz Cheney could run if she wants, but nobody's going to vote for her on either side. So I don't want to waste your time and money.

I do believe that CNN will offer her a job, and she may take it. That is the talking points memo. Now let's get on to the Trump raid latest. So tomorrow, the judge you sign a warrant for the raid on Ma'a Lago, Bruce Reinhart, is holding a hearing because the number of news agencies and the Republican Party in general wants the affidavit to the warrant unsealed. Now, I don't know whether that will happen tomorrow or not, early afternoon hearing, but something's got to happen, right? Justice Department opposing it, you all know it, we went over it, a pretty micro detail. Wall Street Journal, story today, anonymous sources, people familiar with the matter, all right. Wall Street Journal is a lot better than the left-wing papers, but still, it says Attorney General Merrick Garland deliberated for weeks over whether to approve the warrant to search Donald Trump's property. I don't know. I mean, I assume that's true. You know, and Joe Biden knew about this. Of course he knew about it. But if it was such a danger to national security, why would the Attorney General deliberate for weeks? If it had to happen, we got to get in there, get these nuclear secrets. You know, it doesn't make any sense at all. It's just the usual be.

Finally, on this, Nora O'Donnell, anchor of the CBS evening news, tweets out, remember that Donald Trump said that the FBI seized his passports, which would have been against the warrant, so warrant did not allow that. So O'Donnell tweets out, quote, according to a DOJ official, again anonymous, the FBI is not in possession of former President Trump's passport. Trump has accused the FBI of stealing his three passports during the search of his more longer home. Well, it turns out to be wrong. And so the FBI says, yeah, we got them, we're going to give them back. So Nora O'Donnell's wrong. So last night, I asked my crack staff to watch the CBS evening news. And you didn't mention it.

No retraction, no, I'm sorry, my anonymous source lied to me. And by the way, if you use an anonymous source and you're a reporter, it turns out what the anonymous source says isn't true, you can put it right out there. This person lied to me. But they never do. they being the corporate media because they want this stuff. Anyway, that's the update on Trump. We are on it tomorrow and we will continue our honest reporting.

Remember a guy named Paul Manafort? Yeah, you do. If you follow politics, he was President Trump's campaign chairman appointed to that position in May 2016. He's a big guy in a Trump campaign. and then almost simultaneously for him taking over as a campaign chairman for Trump, the Fed's starting to investigate him on a variety of financial matters. On July 26, 2017, FBI agents raided Paul Manafort's home without warning.

They just showed up looking for documents. Now, Trump had warning Mr. Manafort did not, and they went in. and he was subsequently charged with a number of felonies. He pled guilty to a couple of them, and the other charges were dropped after he did that. He was sentenced to seven years in a federal penitentiary. He served one year, two months, and he has a new book. And the book is called Political Prisoner, Persecuted, Prosecuted, But Not Silence, Paul Manafort joins us now from New York.

Did I set you up properly, fairly? You set me up properly and fairly. Okay. And I've used to be set up. We want to be fair above all. So the lead question is, and I have not read your book, as I told you before we went on the air, I looked it over, but I haven't read the whole thing.

If you pleaded guilty to federal charges, do you have a beef? Yes, because the part of the story you referenced is the end of the legal process, not the beginning of the legal process. What I pled guilty was I had two trials, two two indictments. One was in Virginia and one was in D.C. The one in D.C. was the first one. It dealt with the fair violations that they said, you know, were of a criminal nature. They then brought, when they couldn't use those charges to get me to do a plea agreement and talk about Donald Trump in a way that would implicate the president in the Russian collusion narrative, they brought superseding charges to me.

And those were filed in Virginia because they were dealt with tax matters. Okay, let me stop you there. So it was clear to you, do the FBI tell you, we want you to flip on Donald Trump, tell us that he colluded with Russians, and if you do that, we'll drop all the charges, or you won't be bothered by us anymore. Was that clear to you? Well, there was no commitment to drop all charges. No. But the process was focused on leniency. And the plea agreement didn't happen until after the first trial was over. Okay. I don't want to get two in the weeds on this. So you would promise leniency if you gave up Trump on certain things involving Russian collusion. In hindsight, did you do anything wrong in your opinion, just in general? in general the answer is no and all the charges that were brought against me for the most part were all issues that the government had dealt with in the past and either resolved or dismissed okay so you believe that you are a victim of political prosecution because you were linked to Trump you wouldn't give Trump up and so that they basically went ahead to try to punish you for

your silence but then again you come back to why did you plead guilty? Why didn't you just go to a jury? Well, the first case, I did. I went to a jury. In a D.C. case, but not in a second. In the Virginia case was first. And even though it was filed in superseding charges, it ended up being the first gag trial. But why didn't you, why didn't you just play the whole string out with the jury? Well, I did in the first, in the Virginia case. And when I was convicted of eight of the 18 charges. And then two weeks later, the Virginia case was going to be happening. I mean, the D.C. case was going to be happening.

And that case, the jury was going to be selected within the framework of the first trial. I voir dire the jury. We had 120 questionnaires. In those 120 questionnaires, we found one juror. who said they wouldn't be uh they weren't prejudiced against trump so you didn't think you would win the case you and your lawyers i knew i wouldn't win how much did it cost you out of your pocket mr manorford to defend yourself against all of this stuff millions of dollars millions of dollars was that a concern that you didn't want to continue this because

you well there were three concerns just why i didn't want to continue one of them was the cost of another trial two was in that second trial They had forfeiture actions they were trying to bring against me because going back 20 years on a violation that occurred, they claimed, in 2013. I knew that didn't feel confident after the voir dire that I was got any chance of getting a fair trial. The judge rejected giving me a venue change. And in the assets they wanted to take were assets I had given to my daughters and family, you know, 10, 15 years before. So they were trying to not just destroy me, but my family. When you say they, was this the Justice Department?

The Justice Department, Special Counsel. And who was the Attorney General at that time? Well, he was not in a man at all. This was Bob Mueller, Special Counsel's Office, Andrew Weissman. They were in charge. So Mueller and Weissman, the guys that investigated the Russian collusion, They were responsible for all of the charges against you, and to use your word in your book, persecute you, correct? Correct.

Okay. When the raid in Ma Alago happened last week, was it similar, in your opinion, to what you went through? Yes, it was. For example, I had been cooperating with the intelligence committees, and all the information. they were asking for during the Russian collusion investigation. Two days after I met with the two committees, they did this no-knock 6 a.m. raid on my condominium, you know, 15 FBI agents, guns drawn in my apartment,

knocking on my door of my bedroom, waking me up. There was no reason for that overreach. Was the media there? I don't remember. Was the media tipped off? I know CNN was tipped off on one of these things. The difference between Stone and me was Roger lived in a home. So they were walking down the street. They would have had a hard time going there walking down the hall.

So the FBI shows up that shows you, they show you the warrant. You look at the warrant and they come in and they ransack your house. Is that what happened? Yes. All right. Now, you do believe that you are a political prisoner because of your work on behalf of Donald Trump. That's what basically your book is about, right? Well, and in the book I specify very clearly, the fair charge that was the foundation charge of against me, I had resolved with the Department of Justice Fair Unit.

Okay, and everybody will see what you, but what I'm trying to get out here is there are people, millions of them, who feel that we have lost our fairness in this country, that we are no longer equal justice for all, that now the federal government is taking aside the Democratic government. party side, the liberal side, and persecuting the conservative side. Do you believe that? I believe that there's a two-tiered system of justice, yes. Do you believe that the Donald Trump situation from the very get-go, and you were involved with it from the beginning, as was I did the first interview with him after he declared his candidacy, do you believe that there was a conspiracy to destroy him and if so why i believe he was a threat to the to to the establishment of the deep state if some people call it and i believe that uh that that threat was something that they couldn't deal with i believe that they never expected him

to win uh but when he did win they didn't understand it at all and they never recognizing his election did everything they could to destroy his presidency, including- Okay. After what happened to you, and you have been through hell for six years, do you still believe in your country? Do you still want to live here? Do you still feel that this is a noble nation? I've done campaigns all over the world. There's no doubt in my mind. This is still the best country in the world. Our democracy is still the best democracy. The fact that it's under attack is not to lose faith in it but it's to try and fix it and that's why you wrote the book again it's political prisoner persecuted prosecuted prosecuted and not silence but not silence paul maniford

we'll talk again i think you have a good perspective on the uh on the government and and what it can do certainly you uh you felt that stink we appreciate you coming on tonight thank you for it again crime um One of my themes here is that the corrupt media does not report accurately on why violent crime is happening. Overwhelmingly in this country, it is black drug gangs committing murders and terrorizing entire neighborhoods. But you will not get that reportage. So, let's go to Philadelphia. There's a park. African Americans mostly frequent the park. Okay? So there's a shootout. Five people

hurt, including a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. Nobody killed but one boy, 16-year-old, is in critical condition. 100 shots were fired in the park. Here's how local news described it. Go. So this is just a mind-boggling number of gunshots fired outside of place. Kids are supposed to feel safe. This recreation center in West Philadelphia turned into a major crime scene. And now the police commissioner here in Philadelphia announces at least three people have been arrested so far in this shooting. Okay, you'll notice three people. And the rest of the Philadelphia media falls into line.

Three people. They don't say it's another gang-related shooting or anything like that. Now, in Philadelphia, under the Progressive District Attorney Larry Krasner, all right, homicides increased 78% from 2017 and 21, and Philadelphia voters reelected him. But it's almost all black drug gangs, yet the media in Philadelphia will not report that. Let's go to Dallas. There's a pee-wee football game. Okay? Things get heated during the game. This is south of Dallas in a place called Lancaster. All right? All of a sudden, a man named Yakub Talib, 39-year-old African-American, shoots the opposing coach, Michael Hickman, dead. okay, in front of kids, in front of people watching the pee-wee football game.

Now, Mr. Talib's brother is a former NFL player, Tariq Khalib. But again, local news doesn't report that this is an African-American situation. Now, the punditon Jason Whitlock wrote a column, and it's worth reading, and it says, how are we ever going to solve this problem on black on black violent crime if the media will not acknowledge it? And that's what this is all about. So there are poor minority people all over the country defenseless in the face of these black drug gangs heavily armed. And the media, unlike George Floyd, everybody knew what happened to George Floyd, as they should have. And it was outrage. But now thousands, literally thousands of poor blacks are being slaughtered in the streets,

and the media will not report on it honestly. And we'll follow the Dallas situation for you because it's a big name here, the NFL guy. But this is horrible. And it's never going to be solved unless the nation comes to grips why blacks are killing other blacks in such, astronomical numbers, period. 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.

Tharu, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions and precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text Bill to 9988-9-8-9.

Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. All right, Border Patrol has caught 10 more terrorist suspects on the terror watch list, which all the federal agencies have. That brings the total, okay, of people apprehended at the southern border on the terror watch list to six. 66 people this year alone. Are you surprised? There are millions of people coming here. Millions. Okay?

And they're coming here because the Biden administration won't enforce the border. You don't think terrorists are getting in here and these people are going to kill some of us. You're crazy. Yet the Biden administration doesn't care. I'm on Hannity today, Wednesday.

my usual hit. I said, just that alone, disqualifies the Democratic Party from being supported. Just that issue. The open border. That's it. Yet we have people, millions of voters, they don't seem to care. That terrorists are coming into this country. All right, Alaska. We told you about the Wyoming vote. So Lisa Murkowski, who was a Trump hater, voted to impeachia. She advances to the midterm election. Her opponent, Trump, supported Kelly Shibaka, close. Three points. They both ran against each other in the primaries. What they do in Alaska, it's very confusing up there. But Kelly Shibaka and Lisa Murkowski who faced off again. In November, I can't call a race, along with the Democrat, Patricia Chesbrough. Alaska is a Republican state. I'm going to vote for

Democrat. Sarah Palin is going to advance as well. You know, it's so arcane there. I can't call either of these races. I suspect Sarah Palin will win the single congressional seat in November, but I can't make a prediction. This caught my eye. This is really strange. You know, Marco Rubio a pretty big name in the Senate. And I thought he was pretty popular in Florida. Florida, Florida's trending red, as we all know. But a new poll by the University of North Florida taken August 8th says that Rubio's running behind the Democratic challenge of Val Demings by four points. So North Florida University polled 1,534 people. And I went, you know, to my staff, check this out. So the real clear politics average of that race,

Rubio v. Demings, has Rubio 49, Demings 43, six-point lead. I think that is probably right, and I think this North Florida poll is an outlier. But my duty to report to you what's happening. We called Rubio's office, and they seem to be too worried about it. And, you know, spokesman said, quote, this is Florida. We've always said it will be a tight race. Why should it be a tight race? You know, I don't know. Smart life. Okay. So, again, we have gone on a campaign to save you money, to make you healthier, to guide you, so to speak. And I'm not being arrogant about it, but we have resources here into a smart life. So I got a letter yesterday from Patricia Eckhart, Arlington, Texas. He says, Dear Bill, I am writing to give you a huge thank you

to the Bill O'Reilly.com member who gave the tip for car rentals through auto slash.com. I happen to be traveling in San Francisco in three days, decided to give it a try. I saved $250, and I'm thrilled. Money thanks to you and all the money-saving tips you have presented, Patricia Eckhart. Okay. I, you're not. not as thrilled as I am. So how this evolved was one of our premium members who goes to Bill O'Reilly.com and sees a smart life stuff, said, look, this auto slash.com, this is great. Now, to save $250 on a car rental, that's substantial. I'm sure everybody knows that, particularly because you're paying so much more for gas, and you've got to pay that. All right. So

anyway, I hope you stay with us. I hope you check into the smart life on the internet. We have tips every day. And I give them to you too on radio and television. All right, this day in history, August 17, 1998, President Bill Clinton publicly admits he had an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky that was 24 years ago. Roll it. As you know, in a deposition in January, I was asked questions about my relationship with Monica Lewinsky. While my answers were legally accurate, I did not volunteer information. Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.

It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible. And the system did hold him responsible. he was impeached in the House and then tried in the Senate on perjury. The vote, as you may remember, was 45 guilty, 55 not guilty. So you'd need two-thirds of the Senate to say guilty to boot a president out on impeachment. Nobody has ever been booted out. Andrew Johnson was acquitted, Bill Clinton was acquitted, Donald Trump was acquitted twice. Okay, now here's the interesting part of the the story to me. I mean, this whole Lewinsky thing, you all know about it and all of that.

When Bill Clinton left office, three years later, okay, he had a 65% job approval rating. 65%. So, you remember, the race between Bush and Gore was this. tight. And the Florida Supreme Court rode over to Bush. But Clinton was a popular president. The reason he was was because of the economy back in 2001. And it was vibrant. And people were working and making money. And they said, you know, Lewinsky was bad. We don't like it. But President Clinton governed in a way that the economy was strong. So 65% approved on Clinton's way out. And of course, nine months later, we had 9-11 and history changed. That is this day in history. Back with the

lively mail segment and a final thought about the coming autumn, which is going to be really interesting. 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.

You don't want to miss an episode.

Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or you're a little junkie on a late lunch or you're 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. Okay, let's get to The Mail. Here is Matt Americheneck, Dover, Delaware, Capitol of the State. O'Reilly, what can we as outraging concerned citizens do about the latest anti-Trump attack by the Department of Injustice. Nothing can't do anything about it. You can vote in November for Republicans. You can do that, but there's nothing else you can do. That's the way the republic runs. We elect people. Those people do what they do. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it isn't. not working. All right. Merrick Garland, the FBI, work for Biden. November. Peter, concierge

member, which means Peter gets direct access to me. So I hope you check that program out. It will enhance your life. It will make you money. I agree that Merrick Island is playing a very dangerous game, but what could ever come of this other than a few congressional hearings where Republicans yell at him. Is he not shielded by a justice system that protects high-profile Democrats? Yeah, I mean, nothing's going to happen in Merrick Garland as far as he's going to go to jail or be charged or any of that. Not going to happen. But if Republicans take the House, you know this FBI rate, it's going to be the subject to hearings. And Garland's going to, as you point out, got to get hammered. Now, the Republicans can't get rid of them because he works at the pleasure

of Joe Biden. But again, that's the Republic. Cindy Goodman, Austin, Texas bill, you reported last week to several government agencies that are now protecting U.S. magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhardt, who is in hiding because of threats of his life. So a Democratic judge received protection quickly when his life is in danger, perhaps a conservative Supreme Court justices should hang out with Bruce. Not fair. The Supreme Court justices are getting protected big time. So any person working for the federal government elected in this country and who's threatened has got to get protected. But it's not like the Supreme Court justices are not being protected. They are. Susan Mo Cynic, San Bruno, California, Bill with the fact that President Trump's

passport was compensated by the FBI during the raid of his Florida home, be deemed outside the scope of the warrant. That's what I believe, and the Trump lawyers say that. And I said yesterday, Susan, if this ever goes in, I think the Supreme Court would throw it all out because of that and other illegalities. Could be wrong on that. That's speculation, but it's educated speculation? As far as I know, President Trump's passports were not named in the warrant, and they had to be in order for the FBI to seize it. Epi, I can't just go in and take your TV. Well, Fredo Calazzo, Winchester, California. Hey, Bill, why are there more Democratic voters in the country compared to the Republican and Independent? The stats are these out of 31.

states Wilfredo. 19 states do not report. Okay, but out of 31, 50 million Democratic registered voters, 40 million Republican registered voters, 39 million independent registered voters. Now, it's tilted in the final total, which we don't know because we don't have the other 19 states reporting, because of California. overwhelmingly Democrat in the most populated state in the Union. You take California out of that, more Republicans and independents. Matt Palumbo, Tampa, I have to agree with you, O'Reilly, that sometimes screaming it out helps calm me down and feel better.

I've done this. However, I prefer to jump in the pool, drift to the bottom, and let out a loud scream. You might drown if you do that. screaming under water? No, in the car. I don't want anybody drowning. And that goes to my final thought of the bad day I had on Monday, and we did that yesterday. Jane, Bill, my husband and I had tickets this past weekend to see of an Elvis impersonator.

He was great. Women lined up to get a kiss. Elvis lives. Well, he lives in killing the legends. That's coming out quickly. It's coming up. September 27, 27. you can pre-order on Bill O'Reilly.com, become a premium or concierge member or re-up. You get it free.

Elvis is still one of the most famous people on Earth. The reason why. So is John Lennon. So is Muhammad Ali. We'll be the most controversial book of the year, Killing the Legends. Okay. If you go to our store, we have all kinds of great stuff. End of summer, good discounts on almost everything. killing the killers, 15 weeks, still on the bestseller list. We appreciate it very, very much. Good book. If you have some vacation time in August, you might consider that. Word of the day, do not be turgid. T-U-R-G-I-D. Do not be turgid when writing to me, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish you will pine. Back with the final thought about autumn on the horizon.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got 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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, here is the final thought of the day. So a little more than two weeks left in the summer before Labor Day and everybody gets back to school and work. I last night took out my giant calendar of the year and I have a busy, busy autumn because of the midterm elections. That's going to be the huge story. all over it, but I got to go to Boston and I'm going to Canada. And I'll tell you why as it

comes closer, but I'm going up to Canada. And I got a plan. Because if you don't plan, you get a host. Told you yesterday, I'm not driving to Boston. I'm not flying in Boston because airlines are chaos. I'm driving. I can't drive to Canada, but I'm going to do something there to avoid going to the airport. Now, if you are traveling, On the holiday band, you've got to book now. Thanksgiving, Christmas, you've got to do it now. Because if you don't, you're going to pay so much money for your airline ticket. It's going to make your wallet collapse.

And get the first flight out or you're going to get hammered. So wherever you're going, go early. But you've got to book it now. And if you don't, bad things are going to happen. So I was thinking about that, you know, in the moment is where a lot of Americans live, particularly the urchings. Planning ahead, that, no, no, no, we don't do that. We don't plan ahead. We have to be spontaneous.

You can't be in this country now. You can't. You got to plan out. Because if you don't, you're going to pay so much more. And you may not even get what you want. because the airlines are under so much pressure, they don't have enough people. They're going to be canceling flights. There's flight delays all over the place.
