Starting point is 00:00:53 at the Home Depot how doers get more done. Hello, O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Thursday, May 8th, 2025, stand up for your country. Got to let's tell you about on the tariff front with President Trump, but there's a new Pope.
Starting point is 00:01:24 So I think we'll lead with that tonight. do not know Cardinal Robert Francis provost. He is from Chicago. He is a protege of the Cardinal of Chicago. And he looks like a good guy to me from my initial research, but I don't know him. I don't know anyone who does know him because he hasn't been in America for 10 years. So he was the leading Catholic cleric in Peru. In fact, he holds Peruvian citizenship as well as American citizenship. Two passports. 69 years old, born in Chicago, first American pope in history.
Starting point is 00:02:10 I hope that's a good thing. He looks like a good guy to me, just watching his demeanor when he came out on the Vatican balcony and greeted the folks, and here's what he had to say. Roll it. The Pope, who blessed Rome, gave his blessing to the world, to the entire world, that morning of Easter. Allow me to follow up on that blessing. God loves us. God loves everyone.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God. Therefore, without fear, united, hand in hand with God, and amongst ourselves, let us go forward. I like the line, evil will not prevail. I like that line. So I'm going to send them a copy of Confronting Evil, My book That'll be out in September. The new pope, if you don't read Roman numerals, he is Leo the 14th, all right. My Catholic school upbringing, drum that into my head.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I got those Roman numerals. So he was active in the USA in the early part of his career, 1982 to 85, and then from 2000 to 2014, the rest of the time he spent in Peru and Rome, and he had a good position of Rome, and he was friendly with Pope Francis, who, of course, was in Argentine, and Peru is right across the continent. Now, Peru is an interesting country, very poor, not as destable as Colombia, Venezuela, even Argentina and Brazil, but there's a big gulf in Peru between the wealthy and the poor. And I think you're going to see a lot of... of sympathy for the poor from the new Pope.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Now, he was educated Villanova in Philadelphia, a bachelor's science degree in math. He's got to speak a bunch of languages. I know he speaks Italian, English, and Spanish. I am trying to track down the other language. He's 69 years old, as I said. And it looks like, you know, from the just cursory view that he is a good choice. Now, why should you care if you're not Catholic? Because on this planet, there are very few institutions devoted to try to spread peace on earth,
Starting point is 00:05:03 goodwill to men. You don't have a lot of that going on. Do you? And you can pick a part of the Catholic Church. That's not a hard to do. It's run by men. a lot of those men are evil, okay? And we saw that over the past few decades.
Starting point is 00:05:21 But the theology is pretty solid, in my opinion. That's why I am a Catholic. But we need some kind of tempering of the evil that we see every day. And the totalitarians, you know, like the Chinese, they don't want the Catholic Church. Putin says he's an Orthodox, Russian Orthodox adherent, but he's not. He's a murderer. He's a killer. And the Pope really can't do anything about those guys.
Starting point is 00:05:51 If you read Killing the SS, you'll see what the Pope came up against when he tried to temper Hitler. And it was impossible. These bad, evil people, they override the good people, but we still need to hear from the good people. And that's why the Pope's story is important. And, you know, if I find somebody denigrating my religion, I speak up, I don't let it go. And I know that we are a secular country. I'm not a holy roller. I don't proselytize on this program.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I tell you, you know, who I am, what I do, why I believe, what I believe. But I'm, you know, I'm optimistic that this Pope will be a positive force for humanity. And I think that's what we need, okay? And I'll have more on Monday as we delve into this. But I think it's a positive, all around, even if you don't believe. All right, let's do the talking points on the UK trade deal with President Trump. So this is a fascinating story. As I told you, I talked to the Pope yesterday, Wednesday, the Pope.
Starting point is 00:07:10 the president, the president yesterday, Wednesday morning, and a lot of it was about the tariffs, and he's buoyant. He believes he's going to get these deals laid down. And I don't know. How can I possibly know? All I can do is report what's happening. So today, the U.K. and the USA made a deal
Starting point is 00:07:34 that the president says going to help our country with ethanol beef, machinery, and agricultural. products. We do have a trade surplus with Great Britain. That means we derive more money from them than they, from us, which is one of the few countries in the world, which is why this deal was easier to make. But it looks like a good deal to me, for both countries. And it sends a message that this tariff stuff is underway. The British Prime Minister, Keir Starrmer, he's a pretty good relationship with Donald Trump. And so I'm happy to see this because I want every American to prosper.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I want our economy strong. I don't care if it comes to Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Barack Obama or Bush the Younger. I just want us to be strong. I want you to make as much money as you can bank, honestly. Okay, that's my goal. Now, about an hour after the deal was announced, the Dow was up 650 points. I don't know. You know, we tap him before it closed, so the thing goes all over the place,
Starting point is 00:08:39 and that's not good. I want to stable it down. I think in the next few weeks you're going to see a number of tariff deals. So here's what President Trump said today. Roll it. With this deal, the UK joins the United States in affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade. The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced by our great farmers. All right, so good, right?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Is there a downside? Of course, there's a downside to the people who hate Trump, because they don't want him to prosper. They would rather see you suffer than him prosper. Just think about that. All right. So last night I went on News Nation, Chris Cuomo, and Cuomo's taking the Democrat line on the tariffs, that they have not helped the United States so far. It's only been a month. This MailChimp-Forific jingle is brought to you by MailChimp. SMS. Let's lift.

Starting point is 00:11:07 Roll the tape. Bill, what am I saying that you don't like? Help me. Everything. Really? It's like fighting the civil war. Yeah. It's like fighting the civil war.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Also. The first year was a disaster for the North. Oh, no, we lost. Oh, we can't do this. We can't do it. No, you have to let it unfold. Unemployment, as I told the Congressman, auction sloss is from in a town home meeting.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It's 4.2%. Consumer spending is still at the level it is. There's no need to cut interest rates. The Fed didn't do it today. Okay? The economy is humming along, Cuomo, and you're painting it as 1929. Oh, no, I'm not. I'm not painting it as 1929 at all.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And the market is gambling. It goes up and down. I'm talking about the realities of small business and people who are trying to borrow money right now. They can't, Bill. That's the real. 4.2 unemployment is about as low as he gets. 4.2 unemployment is. It's almost full employment, which is what.
Starting point is 00:12:08 why this ties into a different issue known as immigration. Oh, the deflection. Look, the economy, thank God, is pretty good right now. And Trump says it's going to get a lot better when these draft deals roll in. I don't know. But you give them a little more time. But the Democrats don't want them to succeed.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Now, Cuomo's not a hater. See, he's not at the level of MSNBC. which is just a disgrace. I've never seen anything like that. And that's Comcast, NBC News. I know they're getting rid of it, but every blanken day, all they do is sell hate, hate, hate.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Roll it. It sounds like this is a marginal deal and that it's not that big of a deal when we look at. I'm curious to see the details of how much there will be, and change compared to what we previously had with the UK. And then the UK officials also know that in order to negotiate the best deal for their
Starting point is 00:13:16 country that they need to stroke his ego. And so that's kind of, I think, what we saw take place there. Sure. And it doesn't matter what Trump does. Close the border. Doesn't matter. Okay. Get a good deal with UK and tariff trade.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Doesn't matter. Oh, no. Just attack, attack. tap. This is NBC. Not some fringe lunatic website. And these people are paid to do this every day. Okay, that's the memo. There is a polling outfit, D, D.HQ. And, uh, This is the Decision Desk on News Nation, which you call the presidential race first. They're good. And they have compiled the job approval ratings for Donald Trump here.
Starting point is 00:14:21 They are as of May 5th, 45% job approval, 51% disapprove. That is 1% up from April and down 2% and disapprove. Now, I told you, and this is obviously fact, if the trade deals and tariff deals come in, if the stock market stabilizes, if people's investments rise, then the favorability rises in conjunction. It's all about that. All right, so the president declares today, May 8th, as Victory Day for World War II. Here's what he wrote, quote, the millions of soul sensibly lost. serve as a reminder of why. We must pursue peace through strength. I remain steadfastly devoted
Starting point is 00:15:14 to stopping the years of endless foreign wars and preventing the further loss of lives. As I stated during my inaugural address, we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also the battles we end. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker, unquote, and that is true. I know Donald Trump. I know what he wants to go down in history as, and he does a want this war stuff. Now, World War II, for baby boomers like me, is still pretty vivid because my father served in the Navy. And if you're a boomer in my age bracket, you know a lot more about World War II than the average 30-year-old American, who knows nothing. Zero. And doesn't really care. Yet, that war, as gruesome and ghastly as it was, shaped the way we live today.
Starting point is 00:16:08 in almost every way. And so I wrote three books about this, killing the rising sun, killing Patton, and killing the SS. All right. Now, what we have done, because I feel this is so important, is taking 35% off.
Starting point is 00:16:26 If you bought all three of those books, you can buy them all together on a 35% discount. And we're, you know, obviously doing in conjunction with Memorial Day coming up at the end of May. But these are important that you, if you don't know about them, or you have kids or grandkids that don't, and they're not boring. You can zoom right through them, particularly killing the SS, the evil that the Germans perpetuated on the world is just staggering.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And when you hear, you know, Trump compared to Hitler and all that, if you really know what happened, then you'll be outraged by those statements is so irresponsible. So anyway, the totalitarians are back, and that applies to us right now. So Hitler, Mussolini, those people, they began World War II. They started. They wanted to dominate the world, just as China wants to dominate the world now. Putin is just a maniac. Okay, I'm sorry. But if he could kill at the rate of Adolf, he would.
Starting point is 00:17:31 You know, he can't. He's restrained a little bit by the Soviet. military, the Russian military. But when you read Confronting Evil, my book that'll come out September 9th, you'll see his whole life. Putin's violent, horrible. He loves it. He loves it. And she's a totalitarian, and the mullahs, the jihadists are totalitarians. It's back. And no difference. I got the Ayatollah Khomeini. Put on the cover of confronting the evil. I'll throw that up there. I got Putin on the cover. I got the old Ayatollah Khomeini, Hitler, and Mao.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Inside there are eight others, as evil as it gets. Okay? But I put those four guys, because Putin obviously we're dealing with now, the Ayatollah is dead, but his hand-picked successors in there. She is a descendant of Mao. I mean, I don't think he's as bad as Mao, but is not that big a difference. So what we were experiencing from 1939 to 1945 back. But people, you know, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:44 All right, Joe Biden shows up on the view. My question, first of all, is why? You don't have a book. You don't have a cooking show, not yet. Why are you on the view? Why did you give an interview to the BBC earlier this week? What is this all about? I can't answer the question.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I don't know. But anyway, Biden shows up on the view. Here's a soundbite. Go. So why do you think the vice president lost and were you surprised? I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice president's most qualified person to be president. She is.
Starting point is 00:19:25 She's qualified to be president of the United States of America. But I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the root of the sexist route, all the whole route. I mean, this is a woman, she's this, she's that. I mean, really, I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country and a woman of mixed race. Yeah. And they played that to a fairly well. That's just gibberish.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I covered that race as intensely as any human being on the planet. I didn't see any attacks on Kamala Harris as a woman in politics. Not one. Okay? Biden couldn't point to one. The ladies on the view of no blank and clue. Rated T for teen. Each year, thousands of adults lose their shred.
Starting point is 00:20:25 It's an epidemic simply known as, shred loss, but it doesn't have to be this way, because rekindling your shred is as easy as playing the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4. With new parks, cross-platform multiplayer, and sick new game modes, we can put an end to shred loss everywhere.

Amazon Pharmacy Presents Painful Thoughts. 20 more minutes to kill in the pharmacy before Before my prescription is ready, maybe I'll grab some deeply discounted out-of-season Halloween candy. Hmm, I never had a chocolate pumpkin with raisins before.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Those were raisins, right? Next time, use Amazon Pharmacy. We deliver, and no, those were not raisins. Amazon Pharmacy. Healthcare just got less painful. So what are you talking about? What? Where was the commercial saying, hey, she's a woman.
Starting point is 00:21:27 govern. Where were they? What are you talking about? Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate, not because she was a woman, because she doesn't understand or even care about, in my opinion, solving our problems. Final thing on this, and this is very important for you to know. When Biden says stuff like that and the view ladies hear it, they believe it. Why? Because they want to believe it. They don't care if there's any factual basis to back up the statement. They don't care. They want to believe the reason Kamala Harris lost is because of sexism and racism.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And so they're going to believe it. So then you say, well, are they lying? Technically, they're not lying because they live in. a delusional world, a world that doesn't really exist. They make up that world. Now, in the past, people who hired media people, like the Ladies on the View, people who vetted guests, that kind of thing, would not hire delusional people. They would, in the interview, job interview, they go, ooh.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And the American voter wouldn't cast a ballot for delusional people. That's why Eugene McCarthy didn't get anywhere during Vietnam. And McGovern got waxed by Nixon. Because those men lived in a delusional world, a world that couldn't possibly come true. And the voters said, you know, I don't like the Vietnam War. And I don't really like Nixon, but McGovern, he's not living in the real world. I'm afraid of them. Now that's gone.
Starting point is 00:23:30 The final thing is, it is easy for people to create their own world and believe what they want to believe. It is comforting to them. Biden's not going to go on, and he doesn't even know. This is not a smart, intelligent man, Joe Biden. He never has been. But he's not going to go on and say, you know, Kamala Harris lost because my policies that I instituted, like the open border, like cutting down on transportation flow to the marketplace, which rose the price of food and regulating the oil and gas industry,
Starting point is 00:24:15 which rose the price of gasoline, my policies doomed her. Biden will never say that. He will never even consider it. Later on in that stupid show, the view, Jill Biden came on and said, Joe is a great president. Lady, and again, is she lying? She's not lying. She's delusional.
Starting point is 00:24:42 She can't handle the choice. truth to quote Jack Nicholson. Very important that you know that because in your life, I know you deal with delusional people. They may even live in your house with you. Okay? And there's very little you can do. You can stack up the facts. You can say what I just said. Give me one example of some sexism on a part of the Republican Party in the campaign of 2024. Give me one commercial, one statement by Trump or Vance. You can't. Air traffic controllers.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Now, I'm not sure about this. This is anonymous source story comes out of the New York Post, but there's big trouble with air traffic control. 2012, until now, 13 years. There's been a 10% decrease in air traffic controllers. Whereas there are far more flights now than there were in 2012. So the whole system's cracking. Now, the Trump administration said, look, we're going to spend billions of dollars to get more air traffic controllers in here.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But whose fault is this? Might that be President Biden and his transportation secretary? Pete Buttigieg, four years, nothing. They did nothing to upgrade the air traffic control system in this country. But Jill by, oh, no, he's a great president. Okay, Afghanistan is another one. Here's another one. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:42 August 30th, 2021, Joe Biden surrenders in Afghanistan. Everybody runs out of there at his order. 13 Americans are killed in the flight, 170 Afghans, sympathetic to us. And he leaves behind $58 billion worth of U.S. weapons at Bogram Air Force Base. $58 billion. Biden leaves there. Everybody remembers. Well, now there's a report from the Inspector General for the Afghanistan Reconstruction Organization, S-I-G-A-R.
Starting point is 00:27:24 S-I-G-R. S-S-S-S-N-S-N-A-R. This is a report from the Inspector General. The Daily Caller website got the hold of the report, and here it's its analysis. Quote, the threat of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is far greater today, than pre-9-11. As the Taliban controls all of Afghanistan has the resources of the state has allowed al-Qaeda to establish
Starting point is 00:27:48 significant terror infrastructure, including training camps, safe house, and religious schools. Al-Qaeda has the time, space, and resources to recruit and train the next generation of terrorists and plot their next attack, unquote. This is what Joe Biden did.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Okay? Almost five years after the fact. Now, I am piling on Biden tonight, but you need to know how bad his administration was. And if you read Confronting the presidents, Abraham Lincoln walked into the same thing that Trump walked into. James Buchanan screwed up this country. He's the worst president ever, okay? by allowing the South to rise in ferocity and never confronting what the southern states were doing. When Lincoln walked in as a fade of complete, you're going to have to fight a war that kill more than a million people because of Buchanan.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Now Trump is in and his first 100 days and all that, okay, but he's trying to correct what has happened in the last four years. under Mr. Vue, Joe Biden. You need to understand this bigger picture here in order to understand what Trump is doing. Mexico. Okay. So we've been reporting that the president, Claudio Scheinbaum, doesn't want to cooperate
Starting point is 00:29:25 with the Trump administration in military defeating the drug cartels. There is not one reason on earth why that woman should not cooperate in destroying those cartels, which have destroyed her own country, but apparently she doesn't care. Okay, enter Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who identifies as a Mexican-American. Here's what she said, go. So it's really sad because even dating back into the 60s, I remember hearing my dad tell stories about how my grandmother would bring him there for entire summers to see our family,
Starting point is 00:30:01 and it was way different that it is now. So I would never set foot in Mexico unless I was on official business. And I would encourage Americans until they get their cartel situation under control don't send your kids. Okay, and that's exactly what I've been saying for years, as far back as 2021.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Here's what I said a year and three months ago. Roll it, I won't go to Mexico and thousands of American students are going to spring break in Mexico. There were two Americans, American women killed there recently in Mexico. One OD'd on fentanyl. She had a death witch.
Starting point is 00:30:39 If you go to Mexico and take fentanyl, you want to die. And the other was caught to crossfire in the Cancun area, Playa to Carmen South. So why would you go to Mexico? If you get in trouble there, get intoxicated, whatever, nobody can't help you? Nobody. Why would you go there?
Starting point is 00:31:01 Okay. And, you know, U.S. tourism to Mexico is vital. It's like buying us Chinese socks that I wouldn't buy from Ralph Lauren and Macy's. There comes to a point where you have to be some kind of patriotic, right? So if we got a country just south of our border who is allowing heinous things to happen, which Mexico is, with PayPal I can pay now or paying for, no interest and no fees. Now feature your ears on this prime cut musical meat. You can pay your own way. Don't just pay PayPal.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Subject to approval, eligibility, parents. Learn more at PayPal.com slash pay and four. Going on vacation, we're here for it. With kids who turn a backseat into a courtroom drama over whose tablet is louder, whose charger is faster, and why watching the same cartoon for the hundred time as a human right? Yep, we totally have vehicles to handle that. Because whether it's a road trip or a business trip, where your flight's delayed, your phone's at 2% and your dinner, whatever's open?
Starting point is 00:32:08 Yeah, here for that too. Enterprise. We're here for it. Now, they moderated on the border. You've got to give them credit for doing that. Shine bomb did that. Put the troops on the border and that helped Trump. But the dope is still coming across in record waves. You know how long it would take to the United States military to knock out these cartels? maybe two weeks. And they'd be gone forever. All dead. And they deserve to die. They're terrorist groups. Okay. So I applaud the congresswoman from Florida. It's laying it out there.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But, you know, China, China's not helping us. China's our enemy. You're buying their socks, shirts, hats. Does that make sense to you? Does it make sense to me? Media Madness. Now, I do this probably every show, almost every show. I'll give you a media story. I want you to be honest with me. If you don't care about it anymore,
Starting point is 00:33:15 and I think that might be the trend, then I won't do it. Because it's my life, my profession, 50 years in the media. But if you've had it, tell me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Okay. So, as you know, President Trump is suing CBS News because of an interview, 60 Minutes, did with Kamala Harris, which, by the way, has been, I'm sorry I said, by the way,
Starting point is 00:33:43 which has been nominated for an Emmy because the Emmy people, all right, are hate Trump. So, of course, you're going to nominate this. Anyway, a bunch of far-left senators led by our pal Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Sheldon White House, Richard Blumenthal, you know the gang. They sent a letter to Paramount CBS and don't settle with Trump. Quote, the lawsuit is an attack on the United States Constitution and the First Amendment is absolutely no merit, cannot stand the United States America, presidents do not get to. to punish or censor the media for criticizing them. Freedom of the press is what sets us apart from tin pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes. I believe that the Trump lawsuit centers around election interference, not criticism
Starting point is 00:34:41 of Donald Trump, but I'm more than happy to see that case unfold in court, but it won't because Paramount and CBS will settle with. Trump. Why? Because they want to sell to SkyDance. All right, $8 billion. The SkyDance company has offered Paramount Global, the parent company CBS, $8 billion. And Cherry Redstone, ahead of CBS, wants that money. And that sales not going through unless they settle. But Trump's got them. Media madness. Okay. Remember, if you had it, let me know. We're here for you. How about the most dangerous states in the United States?
Starting point is 00:35:26 You live in one. Here they are. Most dangerous state is New Mexico. Not surprised. A lot of methamphetamine. Law enforcement is kind of weak there. Colorado number two, that's surprising. Louisiana 3, Tennessee 4, Arkansas.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Alaska. Wow. Washington State? California, Nevada, South Carolina. They are the most dangerous states. I've been to all of them. I never felt in danger in any of them, but that's just me. Here are the safest states in the union.
Starting point is 00:36:00 New Hampshire, number one, live free or die. Maine, Idaho, Rhode Island, Connecticut, West Virginia, Wyoming, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. Jersey? What would Tony Sopranos say? I don't know about Jersey. Northern Jersey. Central and Southern Jersey are pretty placid. A lot of stuff going on in Northern Jersey. Smart life. Okay, it is important that you speak well. So if you go over a job interview, if you are volunteering, if you want to get admitted to some educational facility,
Starting point is 00:36:42 and you cannot speak in a grammatically correct way, you are hurting your chances and your life. People judge you on two things when they meet you, how you look and how you speak. Smart life. Now, there are two phrases that lifehack.org, some pop website, has come out and explained, and I like these two. So a lot of people say, I could care less. That is wrong. The phrase should be, I couldn't care less. Saying you could care less about a topic implies you do not care about it at least a little.
Starting point is 00:37:26 What you usually mean is you don't care about the topic at all, hence I couldn't care less. Second one is well and good. He did good. No, he did well. Good is an adjective. I'm not going to read that. Take that off. That's a little penhedy.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Adverbs and all that. Forget it. Forget it. You don't need that. Good is an adjective which describes something. My lasagna was good. Okay? It's not my lasagna as well. But when you're describing a state of being, how are you? I am well. Not I'm good. Now everybody says, I'm good, all good, all that. It's a colloquialism now. Don't worry about that. But when you describe something, it's good. When you're talking about a situation, it's well.
Starting point is 00:38:31 How about that, smart life? Stay in History, May 8, 2021. Elon Musk appears on Saturday Night Live. Roll it. What was I like as a kid? The answer is pretty much the same as now, a bit smaller. But we also ask my mother, who's here tonight.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Her name is May, like the month, but with an E at the end. Thanks for spelling my name, Elon.

Starting point is 00:39:18 you were too young to open a bank account, so I had to open one for you. That's right. Whatever happened to that bank account? That's not important. That's cute. The reason I run in this in is where is Moss now? So he's out of Doge. Still got a little office in the West Wing, but he says he's only going to be there one or two days a week. He's most of the time in Austin, Texas now, trying to get his company back on track because boy, he took it. associated with Donald Trump, you're going to take it.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Okay. And he admits, must does that the Doge outfit has not met the trillion dollar in wasteful spending and all that. They stand out now at $160 billion, but that's pretty good. It continues, I mean, Doge will continue, but I think most did a good job there. Okay, back with the final thought in a moment. Okay, a brief final thought has been a packed program. Again, happy Mother's Day to all the moms. My mom was the best. She's in
