Starting point is 00:00:00 Tonight we begin in earnest our coverage of the midterms three weeks from tomorrow. You know, I'm a little bit of a braggard sometimes, but I'll tell you, I think we'll have the best political coverage in the nation. And if you see anybody better or even close, please let me know, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Because what we're going to do is just facts, methodically work it down to what is likely to happen and what is happening now. And over the weekend, there was a change. There was a change in the political tenor that nobody that I know of picked it up,
Starting point is 00:00:51 but I did. and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. The change is this. The leader of the Democratic Party, President Biden, is becoming increasingly detached from reality. He's out of touch. And every time he makes a appearance, a national appearance, that becomes clearer to the country.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Now, there are a third of Americans that don't care about that, that they will vote for Democrats and Biden no matter what. Same thing with Nixon when Nixon had to resign, about 28% of Americans, they would have supported Nixon no matter what he did. And that range doesn't deviate. Those people are just hard, core liberals or conservatives. They're not going to change. But over the weekend, we saw Joe Biden. in Portland, Oregon, and someone asked about the economy. Go. Yes, our economy is found as hell.
Starting point is 00:02:01 In terms of inflation is worldwide. Poor self, everywhere else is in the United States. So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much much worse. And that's how it's worldwide inflation. That's a consequence. Our economy's strong as hell. That's just not true. That's like the border is secure.
Starting point is 00:02:31 It's not true. Yet Biden has no trouble saying that. And well, he's a liar. He may well be a liar. All right. But from my analysis of him over the past two years, he simply doesn't know what's happening. And people tell him, oh, the economy's strong.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Now, today CNBC came out and said there is a 100% chance of a recession in America. That isn't a strong economy, Mr. President. But will he even hear about that? Probably not. He lives in a bubble. That ice cream cone that he was holding cost probably 30% less this year. last year at this time. Okay, so again, so Biden says our economy is strong as hell, and it's the other countries that are having the inflation problem. It's the other countries.
Starting point is 00:03:30 So I go, tell myself, all right, gave me this stats. We have had seven months in the United States of America with inflation over 8%. Not since 1981 has inflation been this bad. That was Jimmy Carter, okay, who got waxed by Rick. And since June 1st, just a few months ago, the Dow has dropped 8.5 percent, more than 3,000 points. The S&P has dropped 10 percent since June 1st. Now, these are 401K's college, all of your investments. Boom. And people are going to see those statements at the end of October.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And they're going to be horrified. That's the big change. Now, Biden should be saying, hey, we recognize as a problem. We're working on it, and we have great solutions, and we're going to turn it around. That's what most politicians would say, but not him. He denies that it is even a problem. No problem. See, other countries.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Not us. We're strong as hell. No, we're not. Okay. American workers are falling way behind. And everybody knows it who works for a living. Everybody knows it who has investments. And there's this guy out saying, Ah, strong as hell. Hey, the border is secure. Don't worry about those 150,000 Americans dying from narcotics because they are flooding into the United States of Mexico. Don't worry about the five million foreign nationals who showed up here since I'm president.
Starting point is 00:05:18 No, don't worry about it. Board is secure. Why? Because I'm saying it's secure. Now, that is madness. It's madness. And so what is happening is even the dimest among us, the people who don't know anything and don't care to know anything. The lazy people who want to live their lives in a shell on the internet or whatever they, do. Even they are starting to go, it's not working. Now, many of them don't vote, but enough do that it could make a difference. And then the independent voters, which now are the deciders, they can't break for Biden and the Dems. You just can't. So I'm going to give you my predictions tomorrow, but I will tell you tonight that American voters, voters have to see there is no attempt at all by Biden and his administration to solve any
Starting point is 00:06:26 problem. I mean, this ridiculous inflation reduction act is just a fantasy. It doesn't reduce inflation. It never will reduce inflation. In fact, when the Fed meets again, they'll raise interest rates again. That kills the American housing industry, kills the construction industry. I mean, it's just like this. But the economy's strong as hell, according to Joe.
Starting point is 00:06:55 And that's a memo. Okay, Fox News poll. Fox News, hey, on a polling. I'm watching a polling this cycle, but this is an interesting one. So it came out with 1,2006 registered, voters. 42 Democrat, 41 Republican Fair. Sample 17 independent. Would you reelect Biden in 24 if the election were held today? Reelect 33. There are the zombies. 33. Vote for someone else, 54. Joe Biden's traits are assessed by voters. Cares about people like me? Yes, 46. No,
Starting point is 00:07:39 51. Honest and trustworthy. Yes, 44. No, 52. Has mental. found us to serve. Yes, 40, no 56, is a strong leader. Yes, 35, no 62. So if 30, only 33% of Americans would vote for Biden again tomorrow, he's done. And I told you months ago, he wouldn't run in 24. I think it was the first national broadcast to do that. And now, I don't even know if he's going to make his next two years. I said that before. It might be like a hell thing. This is doom. Doom.
Starting point is 00:08:22 All right, a schedule today, President Biden did nothing. He showed up at the White House around 1 o'clock, 1220, from Delaware, and he didn't do anything. Maybe he had an ice cream calling me. I'm mocking him. He deserves to be mocked. He deserves to be mocked. I'm going to get at Thursday, I'm going to get into why he's the second worst president in the history of our republic after two years in office. So if you really want to know about your country's history and the presidents who have been terrible, Thursday I'll do it for you.
Starting point is 00:09:01 All right, let's segue into the Igor Danchenko trial. Not getting a lot of coverage in the media because it's embarrassing to the Clinton campaign in 2016, particularly. and the FBI. So there's Igor. Igor is a private research guy who pushed the bogus Russian dossier that said Donald Trump did terrible things and had ties to Russia, which is all untrue, as we know. He's on trial and charges of lying to the FBI. On Friday, Judge Anthony Trenga threw out one of the four charges, said there wasn't enough basis to go forward to the jury, but three charges will go. to the jury. Now, today, closing statements were made, and the jury gets it this week. It's not going to take long. He'll be convicted. He didn't even take the stand, Danchenko. And his lawyers did not present one defense witness to stick up for him. No one. So it's just the prosecutor. A federal prosecutor made his case. lied to the FBI, and Janchenko and his defense people said, we're not going to say anything.
Starting point is 00:10:22 You know, I don't know if that's the best strategy. Maybe he could have had his mom come in and go, well, he was the nice boy. John Durham fails again. All right, so I've had it. Enough. You had, I don't know, 30, 40 million. What Durham was tasked with. was finding out how the Hillary Clinton campaign
Starting point is 00:10:50 and the FBI, those two, Hillary Clinton campaign, FBI helped in the fraudulent Russian collusion accusations. That's what he was time to do. That came on to Trump and Attorney General Barr. Again, I'm going to review it. Hillary Clinton campaign, FBI. How did they help
Starting point is 00:11:17 foist this phony Russian collusion scenario on the American public, the voters, us? Durham has failed. Okay? So yesterday, Igor Danchenko was found not guilty by a jury in Virginia of lying to the FBI. Okay? Before that, Michael Sussman was found not guilty,
Starting point is 00:11:42 of lying to the FBI. Those are the only two cases after three and a half years or something like that that Durham brought. All that tax money spent him and his guys running around and they got booted on both. I don't want to hear about Durham anymore. I know about you. Joining us, well, wait, before I bring in a guest. So the media reacted to this last night. Right, go. Trump was obsessed with John Durham, who he called Bull Durham, John Durham. Because he was the guy who was going to prove once and for all that the entire Trump-Russia investigation was a hoax. Exactly as Trump had always said, justice was coming, it was just around the corner.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I mean, we've been waiting and waiting and told, hold our breath, there's more coming, just be patient, be patient. This is, I don't even think disappointing does justice to how bad this is. I mean, this is just after everything that the right has been through and all of the misallegations and misappropriation and the Russia, Russia, Russia, that was taken us through the first couple of years of this Trump administration to see this all go down the tubes and all of the faith put in this special counsel, John Durham, unbelievably disappointing.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You just have to wonder whether this could be Durham-Swansohn here, that this was something that, you know, there was great expectation here, and it's just fizzled. wonder about it. He's through. Joining us now from Washington, Jim Trustee, who's a former federal prosecutor. He's a partner at Eiffra Law now. He knows all players. And I am saying that Durham is done. You say, sir? I think you're pretty much right. I mean, it's a heck of a fizzle. And but I do think there's a little bit of a trap that we may be all collectively falling into, which is the idea that you can only draw conclusions from criminal convictions. You know,
Starting point is 00:13:45 the story in terms of what happened with Hillary financing the dossier, the misconduct of FBI leadership, you know, that story is still out there. And frankly, that story is probably going to make its way into a report that hopefully the Attorney General releases at some point for all of us to see. But no doubt, I mean, no prosecutor wants to go into the business of prosecuting false statement cases and losing them one after another like we had here with john durham in dc and then in uh alexandria so even if uh even if the uh does come out and a report and all this the american people have checked out they don't have any confidence in durham they don't have confidence the federal government investigate anyway can't even find a leaker of the supreme court
Starting point is 00:14:27 thing i mean they have no confidence now i said foolishly on monday that i thought that day that Danchenko would be convicted. And I based my naivete on the fact that Danchenko did not testify. And his lawyers presented no witnesses at all on his behalf. So it was just Durham's prosecutors saying to the jury, they did this, this, this, and this. Yes, it was cross-examination on it. But I said to themselves, the FBI's got to have data. to back up their allegation that Danchenko lied to them. So if he's not even going to refute it himself, he's got to be guilty. And obviously, I was desperately wrong. How did I go so wrong? Well, Bill, you know, your predictive powers are exactly like mine when it comes to sporting events. I don't think I will ever win a nickel on any prediction or any trash talk associated with that.
Starting point is 00:15:31 So look, I think there's a few things. I think, you know, to be real serious about it, number one, I think the country feels a little bit of false statement fatigue. You know, these 18 USC 1001 prosecutions became real popular under Mueller. I mean, we've seen them historically from time to time, but they were the coin of the realm in the Mueller probe. And for a lot of people, you start having this nagging feeling that the FBI can't prove up substantive crimes. They can't prove the bribery, the Foreign Agent Registration Act crime, you know, the quid pro quo. so they settle for these process crimes and their discretion was being used in a very aggressive way during the Mueller probe to go after various people. Now we see the Durham probe going the same way,
Starting point is 00:16:15 doing these 1001 cases. And I have to say, Bill, when that gets in front of a jury, when your whole case as a prosecutor is saying, hey, this guy, Danchenko lied to us when he said he talked to somebody on the phone. And really, he told us he thinks he did or he might have or he probably did. And we think that's a federal felony lie. You can almost feel the jury deflate in the room. Like, this is why we're here. You know, we've got a wayward FBI informant now being prosecuted for some claim of dishonesty that somehow is material to the FBI investigation.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So I think in a very general sense, there's a growing problem with these 1001 cases. Okay, so the jury goes to what's the big deal here? Maybe he lied. Maybe he did. But it does not be on a reasonable doubt. so we want to just get rid of this thing. And that's human nature. Now, there are people who believe that you cannot get a fair jury in the Washington, D.C. area where you live, that you just can't.
Starting point is 00:17:14 They hate Trump so much that anything associated with Trump that might help him, the jury itself is already polluted going, we don't want to participate in that. Yeah, I mean, well, look, Suspun, I think, is kind of Exhibit A on that case. the suspect trial, which was in D.C., you know, that jury was done before opening statements, it feels like. So you're right. There's a very strong political allegiance to the Democratic Party in D.C. Alexandria, where the Danchenco case is, is a little bit different. It's a little bit of a crapshoot. You get Fairfax County, Northern Virginia folks that are a lot like Montgomery County, where I live, very, highly educated, very liberal and politically active. But you also get the rural counties. you get people that are further out from D.C. that tend to be conservative. You get retired
Starting point is 00:18:01 CIA, FBI, military types. So the jury pool in Northern Virginia is a wild mix. I can't really say that it's the same as D.C. But I will say this, Bill, you know, on these cases that are not inherently powerful, they're kind of bloodless process cases for a federal jury, the lawyering makes a difference too. And I will tell you that that's no aspersions towards John Durham. He's an old warhorse. he's been out of a long time. But I know Danny Honorado and Stuart Sears, the guys that represented Danchenko, are great lawyers. And so you give them a marginal case and they play it very smart. They don't put on a defense because they want to turn to the jury and say, this case didn't dignify a defense. It's too weak. You know, we're here for political reasons. We're here for
Starting point is 00:18:44 a sloppy and dirty FBI that was willing to give a million dollars to Danchenko to prove up the steel dossier. So a lot of dirty laundry aired about the FBI doesn't have. help in a prosecution of an FBI former informant. I think that's excellent analysis, counselor. I think you really nailed it right there. That the jury doesn't trust the FBI at all, and they've screwed up so many times, they're so politicized now that they just want to get out of that jury room.
Starting point is 00:19:13 We appreciate it very much. Thank you, sir. I thought that's the best analysis I've heard. Let me know what you think. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com.

Starting point is 00:20:32 Scott Rasmussen is a poller out of McKinney, Texas. He is an editor at large for Ballotpedia, and he writes a column, number of the day. Okay, so you heard my analysis, what say you? Well, you're not too far off. Let's start with the condition of the country. Just 28% of voters stay there better off than they were two years ago. I mean, that's channeling Ronald Reagan's challenge from four decades ago, but that captures the move.
Starting point is 00:21:07 People were saying we were in a pandemic two years ago, and we're not any better off right now. Top issue, inflation. When you talk about the trends, very simple. Watch the gas prices. Over the course of the summer, lots of polls showed that Republicans, were losing ground. Why? Because gas prices were falling. Half of America lives paycheck to paycheck. That price of gas very, very important. The one thing that I would disagree with you on
Starting point is 00:21:36 in terms of the trend is I think the uptick began in mid-September a little further back when gas prices began to move back up. However, it wasn't picked up in the polls as much because a lot of the polls at that time were still being reported as registered voter polls. When you make the transition from registered voters to likely voters in this environment, that moves the numbers a lot in the Republican direction. Okay. So in three weeks, the media between now and then November 8 is going to do everything they can to tell America that the Republicans are evil. It's already started, and that's what we're going to hear. At this point in history, does the media have any sway on how people vote?
Starting point is 00:22:26 Well, there's some sway, but you know, you actually, the thing you're highlighting is over the summer, the media dominates the narrative. When you get in the campaign season with campaign advertising and people knocking on doors and candidates expressing their views, the media view that traditional media is not quite shut out, but their message doesn't get heard very well. Look, I think you're right on target with what you're talking about with the House and the Senate. If the price of gas keeps going up, well, then the Republican prospects go up with them. And that's going to have a bigger impact than any media reports. You know, I think food is more important in gas at this juncture because we have holidays
Starting point is 00:23:10 coming up and the food prices are staggering now. And yes, people, the gas, but they're kind of used to the gas. I got used to it. But the food is new. A lot of it. A lot of it. is new. You walk into a grocery store or a restaurant now, you're looking at, and you can see it. And most people don't go to restaurants anymore because they can't afford a $40 entree. So I think food is going to have a very strong effect. Now, at the end of October, many Americans, perhaps most, get their financial statements, money they have invested into our capitalistic system for retirement, for college, for savings plans. whatever it may be. They're going to be horrified when they see the decline, year, January, till the end of October, horrified. And that is going to be the clincher. They open those statements and their head snaps back. And then they're going to remember that Biden says the economy is as strong as hell. I think that's the fate of complete. I think Biden saying that was a colossal mistake.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Yeah, but he's made a lot of statements that were colossal mistakes. His job approval is at 41%. That's very bad for Democrats. We can talk about the big trends. It's going to be a good night for the Republican Party. The only question is how good. Some of the individual races may surprise us one direction or the other. But this is not something that is changing because of what somebody said last week or the week before.
Starting point is 00:24:51 It's the reality of the economy that we're in today. Yeah, but there's nobody has any confidence in Biden. Exactly right. He's delusional, as I said, no confidence in him at all. And I think that's a major factor. If you have a president and said, look, we have a problem. We're going to fight our way out of it. We're all going to be in it together.
Starting point is 00:25:09 We're going to prove things. I'm going to do X, Y, and Z. We're going to do them now and rally the folks. Instead, this guy goes, oh, we have border secure. And people just go, that's huge. Scott. It is. By the way, having a celebration of the
Starting point is 00:25:27 Inflation Reduction Act, when the numbers come out to show inflation is going up and the stock market falling 1,300 points, that was a serious blunder. I want to mention something about the Georgia Senate race, though, that is really important detail in this process. In Georgia,
Starting point is 00:25:46 you can have a runoff. If nobody gets 50%, we saw that two years ago. I think that is the most likely outcome that we will go to a runoff. This year, because they change laws, the runoff will be much earlier, December 6th. And it is possible, not likely, but it is possible that control of the U.S. Senate would be its state in Georgia. If there's a runoff and control of the U.S.S. The third party candidate is hurting Walker more than Warnock, right?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Right. Right. And think about that. If you're uncomfortable with what you heard about Walker and you can't vote for a Warnock, you throw your vote to that third party candidate and you push it to a runoff. But in the runoff, especially if control of the Senate's at stake, Herschel Walker wins. As long as as Trump doesn't go down there. Well, yes, there is that. Right. So you can talk to him about that. But, you know, look, I talk to him. It doesn't really matter. Pennsylvania is an interesting race to me. I know the state fairly well, dominated by Philadelphia and a democratic machine. If the African Americans don't come out in Philly, GOP is going to win big. But there are two bad candidates there.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Let's be honest, please. Federman looks like a hell's angel. The guy, I mean, maybe he's got health problems, and I'm not celebrating. knows, but even if he didn't, he's a far-left cook. And Oz can't articulate who he is or what he wants. They're both very weak candidates. Fetterman looks like he's ahead by one or two points. How do you guys see that? If you really press me, I would say that Oz is a slight favorite, and it's all because of the issues. We're at a time of the season where the choice is less about Oz versus Federman than do you want to help or hurt Joe Biden's agenda. won't be surprised either way, but again, I think Oz right now is moving. And the reason is
Starting point is 00:27:52 because when you look at the polls in Pennsylvania, there may be seven or eight points of people who are undecided. Undecided voters in all the polling I've seen really dislike Joe Biden. So the degree that they show up and vote, they're going to go for Oz in that case. Okay. I can't call a race. What about my hypothesis that if a government, governor of a state wins fairly significantly. That governor can drag across a weaker senatorial candidate because the splitting of the ticket, you know, people don't do that. That's why I think Walker, if he does get more than 50, it'll be because of Kemp. Kemp will drag him across. So there's a race in New Hampshire where Sanuno, the incumbent governor, is up by 24 points
Starting point is 00:28:42 and he's easily going to win. They love him up there. But Baldock, the... Republican senatorial candidate is running behind Maggie Hassan, who's just basically a Biden Apparechnik. She says she isn't, but she is. And I'm just looking at that race going, is it possible that Sununu could drag Bulldog? And that would be the biggest upset of the night, I think. It would certainly be an upset. There might be some bigger ones. There's always possible surprises. Is it possible? I think the biggest problem the Bulldoch has in that race, is that their primary is so late in this season. When you have a primary, you know, there's hard feelings from the side who lost.
Starting point is 00:29:26 It took Oz months before those people came back to say, okay, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Oz in Pennsylvania. Bollick hasn't had a lot of time to coalesce that support from within his party, which makes it tough. But is it possible? Yeah, if the trend keeps moving in the Republican direction. Small state. easy media state the promise that southern new hampshire is dominated by boston and a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:53 boston liberals have moved up there because they don't want to pay to massachusetts taxes so they'd rather than that's also a big part of the media market which is not so inexpensive right yeah but but sununu is so popular that i that's just an interesting race final one um Arizona. Kelly is personally popular there. They like him. But again, he's on the wrong side of the trend. Any hope the Republican wins there against Kelly? Absolutely. There's hope. I think that race is going to be very close. Right now, if you ask me, and this one, I would say Kelly probably squeaks it out and Kerry Lakego wins in the governor's race. So all of a sudden, you've got a different dynamic. uh but that's another race it's the flip flip side of pennsylvania uh i won't be surprised if either candidate wins either of those races in pennsylvania i give the nod to the republican
Starting point is 00:30:51 and an arizona to the democrat okay all right scott i hope you check back in with us before the vote uh and scott by the way is an independent pollster um you know he's not he's not skew into cooking the books and that's what we want that we have mark penn on we have Scott Rasmussen on. We have Doug Shone on. These are the guys who, you know, they're going to give it to you a straight, which is what we want. Thank you, Scott. Appreciate it very much. Now, propaganda on the right. Just doesn't happen on the left. Happens on the right. Okay. So there are Americans on the right who object to the United States and NATO helping Ukraine. Ukraine. You know them? You've heard them. So I got a letter from Lee. Okay? And here's what he says.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Bill, for those that feel we should not support Ukraine, we should compare two things. First, how do we get here? Obama and now Biden were okay initially if Russia stepped into Ukraine and signals it much to Putin. We threatened Russia with offering NATO membership to Ukraine, unquote from late. Okay. Nobody offered Ukraine NATO membership, least of all the United States. No one, Lee. Never happened. Under any circumstance, did it happen?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Ukraine wanted it, but it was never offered. Two, Biden and Obama weren't. accepting of Putin taking Crimea, Obama didn't do anything about it, but he condemned it. It wasn't like they said, okay. And Biden, in the beginning of the invasion, when asked what military steps would be taken against Putin, Biden said, well, it depends what he does. If he does just a little, then we'll measure that. But he wasn't. okay with it. He didn't signal Putin. Yeah, come out of Iran and take whatever you want out of Ukraine. So this is propaganda on the right. And my message to everybody listening to me and
Starting point is 00:33:16 watching me tonight is, I hope you want the truth. So when you hear something, be skeptical. call. There's another 2,000 caravan in Guatemala, heading here. It's about 1,300 miles away. And this is never going to end under the Biden administration. Ever. So they're gathering down there. Mexico's not going to stop them. Overdo it doesn't fear Biden. Overdo or feared Trump. It doesn't fear Biden. American Airlines, and again, I hope you don't have to fly over Thanksgiving. beginning Christmas. I hope you don't. So they've agreed to pay $7.5 million to passengers who they screwed on baggage fees. All right, this is American Airlines. So here's what happened. If you fly first or are a super frequent flyer on American, you get a free bag.
Starting point is 00:34:18 You don't have to pay. Yeah, I think it's one. Okay, you get a carry on, then you can check one back. Well, American goes, no, they were charging the first class people and the frequent flyer people a fee for the bag. Five, five passengers got together, filed a class action lawsuit against American Airlines. Good for them. And they won. Seven and a half million. So if your first class on American and they charge you for one bag, seven and a half million dollars are going to be. doling out okay a Harvard poll who do you blame crime on woke politicians 64% um
Starting point is 00:35:05 that's all the rest of it's not important so 64% of americans on harvard poll blame rising violent crime on woke politicians smart life a new poll study whatever it may be from the future panel organizations says that young adults, 19 to 30, are smoking more pot than ever before. Surprise, nobody's surprised. Okay? So last year, 49% of all American adults said they smoke marijuana, at least once. Half the population.
Starting point is 00:35:40 But younger people are really going at it. In Vermont, very lenient pot state, cannabis users 19 to 30, outnumber people who don't use. So why is this a smart life segment? Because if you are a young person and you smoke a lot of pot, that's not smart. You will hurt your career, your personal life, your physical well-being, and your mental well-being. Look, I know some of you aren't going to ever buy this, but intoxicating yourself, whether it's with beer or gin or vodka or marijuana. or methamphetamine, or fentanyl, heroin. Altering your mind by chemicals is not smart.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States.

Okay, shock and on. new weekly program on vidgo v as in victor idgo.com so vidgo is a streaming service we have partnered up with them they will cut your cable bill down all we say is go take a look at uh at vidgo.com bill at their services if it works for you sign up if you sign up you get my weekly program shock and awe as part of the package okay that's the deal we have with that so this week is It's, has liberalism gone off the rails?
Starting point is 00:37:57 That's the topic of the program. One guest, guy named Yon Winter, you know who he is? He's the founder of Rolling Stone Magazine. Yon Winter, big liberal guy from the early 60s, carried through all the way to today. And he's still a hardcore liberal. I debate him on this week, Shock and, Here's a clip. On this week's episode of shock and awe.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Let's take San Francisco at town you know very well. That's where Rolling Stone magazine started. That town has been destroyed by progressive policies because there are so many drug addicted people now on the streets doing whatever they want to do. I was just out there last week.
Starting point is 00:38:46 What I saw is it's unpleasant to walk around some neighborhoods. Is it dangerous? No. the idea of giving people who are drug addicted or in need of hungry shelter and some level of compassion some level of compassion I think there's a noble it hasn't created any anarchy in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:39:05 but what is compassionate about allowing a person to destroy him or herself and infringing on the rights of all the people who live in San Francisco what is compassionate about that I don't feel that I don't feel that drug addiction is infringing on my rights.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Okay. So it is a pretty rock-um-sockham situation. Shockin-aw, vidgo.com slash bill. Check it out. Smart life. So this is some bad news. COVID is resurging in Europe. That means it'll come here.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Flights all over the place from Europe to the USA. But the COVID now that is coming back isn't as virulent. Word of the day, very illant, harmful, as the previous COVID. So there are currently in Europe 230,000 cases a day. A third of European countries are seeing COVID rise, and New York City is seeing a little bit of rise too. Here's how I am handling this, and this is why this is in the smart life segment.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I don't shake hands anymore at this point. And I explain, not that I'm insulting anybody, it's just that I can't wash my hands or carry around Purell every second. So, a nice little fist bump. Now, when you give a fist bump, don't punch the person. Don't do that, because some people do that. Just put the fist up, a little light bump. That's it. That's number one.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Number two, I don't go into crowds of strangers. Okay? No. Particularly inside. So there was a Metallica concert at the UBS arena last night. A bunch of my friends went, and they said, number one, I wouldn't be caught dead at a Metallica concert. Not that they're bad, it's not my thing. I'm R&B.
Starting point is 00:41:04 I'm Luther Vandross. I'm not Metallica, okay. But I wouldn't have gone anyway. The 20,000 people jammed into this arena. That's a COVID breeding ground. So no Metallica. And if I go to a game, I make sure that I've got a lot of space. Now, I'm lucky because I can do that.
Starting point is 00:41:28 But if you're outside, the risk is less. But if you're inside, no. And the third thing is the vaccine. I don't know whether you've noticed tonight. There's a new vac shot available. But where's Anthony Fauci? nowhere he's not around where's cdc president i don't see we're biden so what is this i got four vaxes in me i have not turned into a werewolf not yet although when the full moon comes up i
Starting point is 00:41:59 but not yet all right um i'm not taking this fifth shot because they're not telling me how long it lasts or i got four all right if you explain it to me you explain it to me and back it up with scientific data, CDC, I'll consider it. But I'm not running down there getting a fifth shot when you're not saying blank about it. So there it is. You've got to protect yourself and be smart about it. And that dopy mask, I mean, oh, I don't even know if that protects you. final thought of the day as i mentioned earlier in the broadcast the media is desperate now
Starting point is 00:42:49 biden's desperate i mean it's why i did the abortion speech today battle in the bold trying desperately to turn things around it's not going to be successful but from now until november 8th the corporate media will now run outrageous soundbites it'll be it'll be a horror show and here's one example that happened October 17th ago. Coming up, Donald Trump is now complaining about Jewish people after his friend Kanye West threatened to kill them. And no Republican is complaining about any of that. That's next. It's just, I'm trying to measure this. It's so hard to believe that standards at NBC news have slipped so much that that man is paid for saying that gibberish.
Starting point is 00:43:47 But he is. It's almost shocking because I had to come up the hard way. I didn't work for NBC, but I worked for CBS and ABC. That kind of stuff would never have been accepted in any way. But now NBC's rights to check. Yes, and whatever you want. Whether it's defamatory, libelous, whether it's an outright lie. But that's the kind of stuff you're going to hear in three weeks.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And we're going to try to spotlight it every day. We're going to have the most ridiculous soundbite of the day or whatever, I'll call it something else. But just think about it. Kanye West wants to kill Jewish people, and no Republican complained about that. Nobody. And Kanye West wants to kill them. It's a murder of Jewish people, according to this guy. And then every Friday goes in and NBC hands him a check.
Starting point is 00:44:45 It's unbelievable. It is absolutely incredible how the media has deteriorated in America. But not us. I am sworn to give you honest coverage, and I will. Thanks for listening and watching the NOSBIN News. We'll see you all. Thank you.
