Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the Nostbin News Monday, September 19th, 2020, stand up for your country. About 4 billion people watch the Queen of England be buried today. Her funeral occurred today. And we are going to have Kelly Ann Cotway here. visited with the queen as part of Donald Trump's entourage in 2019. She'll be checking in with some reminiscence of that. We also want to keep you alive. The king is dead, 96, good life. We want to keep you alive. And so I'm going to have some final thoughts on that that you want to hang for,

unless you don't want to be alive. All right. And finally, politics is our lead. And a governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis is the subject of this evening talking point, this memo. So, you know, I'm sure Martha's Vineyard, DeSantis sends 50 migrants up there, they get off, all the liberals go crazy, the migrants are then ferried over to Massachusetts, where they're now on a U.S. Army base. So, okay, story's been covered to death, but the inner workings of it, I think, are fascinating. and that's what I want to bring to your attention. So Governor DeSantis did this in order to set up a potential run for president. He's doing the exact same thing that Donald Trump did, all right, way back in 2015, 16.

So DeSantis is setting himself up as an avenger, someone who goes after the far left and their tenants, open borders and takes action. That's why Governor DeSantis sent 50 migrants at Florida's expense to Martha's Vineyard. He is now an avenger. So Trump did that successfully. DeSantis is now trying to replicate that. Do we all understand out there? Okay. And again, you'll never get this analysis anywhere on the planet, but here. So right now, DeSantis is running against Charlie Chris for governor. He wants to be reelected, of course. The polls have DeSantis up by four or five points. DeSantis will win that race unless something happens in the next six weeks. He'll win. He is 44 years old, born in Jacksonville, raised in Florida, graduated Yale

and Harvard Law School. Obviously, a smart guy. Mary, three children, 46 governor of Florida right now, and again, I believe he will win re-election. Now, he wants to run for president. I don't think he'll challenge Trump in a – Trump in a primary – I don't think DeSantis will do that because it's not worth his while at age 44 to alienate all the MAGA voters. So in order to challenge Donald Trump for the nomination in 2024 and the Republican side, you have to attack Trump. Though anybody primaring him has to attack him, D'Shea's not going to do that. But if Trump does not run, then DeSantis steps up. Okay.

Now, the Martha's Vineyard controversy, I wrote a message of the day saying, look, Governor DeSantis, will you pay my way to Martha's Vineyard? I'd like to go. So if you have a list, put my name on it because I want to go. So that's my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com. And that is the talking points memo. Okay, so as you know, President Biden's attending the funeral for the queen, and he's over there hobnobbing with the swells. And his approval rating back here is going up. NBC News poll has him at a 45% job approval rating disapproved 52 all right so biden is uh coming up now he did give a uh interview to 60 minutes which ran last night about 15 million americans saw it not very many and a lot of those

people were coming off the football game and you know whatever so scott pelly's a correspondent he's usually pretty good, Peli. He's a vet. This was a softball interview. I don't know if any deals were made, but it didn't feel right to me. There are only two things of consequence. Biden said that he's not a lock to run for president in 24. He will not run. I will tell you right now. He's not running again. And he knows it, but he's not going to say that. Okay. And the second thing is that Biden said that if China attacks Taiwan, U.S. military will defend Taiwan. I don't believe that is true, at least under the Biden administration, but Biden said it. Now, the rest of the interview was a bunch of waffling around. Biden says the economy is good. He says his mental

health is good. Everything is fine. All right, so why are we doing this, Scott? Why are we doing it? story is the border and the migrants being flown all over the place and you're sitting there and he's going, the economy's fine. Okay, so you don't throw stats at him. Pelley in 60 Minutes didn't throw stats at him. He said, it's fine. Oh, yeah, it's fine. It's like, oh, the border's closed. Yeah, the border's secure. Oh, yeah, sure. Okay. Pelley didn't ask one question about the border. Now, one. What he did do was show some documents in Mar-a-Lago. the FBI spread out on the floor and said, ooh, what do you think of that? What do you think Biden's going to say?

Oh, it's terrible. Come on, Scott. Let's go. You got the whole border to ask him about. You've got unbelievable food prices to ask him about. A flood of narcotics to ask him about. You have got executive. of orders totaling trillions of dollars in spending to ask him about.

And you do nothing like that. Scott, an eighth grader would have been tougher than you. So I don't know. I mean, I can't accuse him. I can point out that this was ridiculous. Biden never gives interviews. The last national interview he gave was seven months ago. He walks in there and there, and there they are, strolling around hand in hand and some car plant.

It seems absurd. Can you imagine if Scott Pelley interviewed Donald Trump? So it's discouraging. That's all I can say. It's discouraging. Now, if I interviewed Joe Biden, and he'd never in a million years do it, he didn't do it when it was a factor. He never would do it. Maybe in heaven he'll do it.

I mean, my first question is, what are you doing on the border? You've got five million people in here since you've been president. What is that? What steps are you taking to stop that? That's number one. Number two, outrage about 50 migrants in Martha's Vineyard. You fly migrants all over the United States in the middle of the night. You don't tell the local jurisdictions they're coming.

And you're criticizing DeSantis? Number three, food prices are up double digits. People have to eat. What are you doing to bring them down specifically? Those are the questions you ask. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious

Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5576-56-5576 or text bill to 998899. I hope I'm not sounding petty here. I don't want to do that. I don't know Pellie. I've never talked to him in my life.

But I'm sitting there going, what are you doing? All right, Queen's funeral, as I said, 4 billion people watched it. That breaks the record of 3.5 billion who watched Muhammad Ali open the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Now, I write about Muhammad Ali, as you know, in my upcoming book. But Muhammad Ali got, he was first, and now the Queen is second. people attended the service or some part of it. About a million people float into London for this event. And we wanted to get an inside view of the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth. So who better than the Kellyanne Conway. And she is in D.C. Now, she is a memoir.

You may know about it. Here's the deal, and that's a good book. I read it. But for our purposes today, in 2019 from June 3rd to June 5th, Ms. Conway accompanied President Trump to England and was in the presence of the Queen. Correct? Do I have all those facts right? You do, Bill. It's great to be with you again. And I write about this particular state visit by President and Mrs. Trump and their American delegation because all of the remembrances by those who knew her and, and honored her and loved her best, Her Majesty, we saw that in one limited engagement over a couple of days. And I shouldn't call it limited engagement because I was really struck by how they rolled out

the red carpet for President Trump and the American delegation in that particular state visit. I will tell you that the Queen, Her Majesty, and Prince Harry, they basically alighted from a movable wall for a scheduled greeting with about 20, maybe tops two dozen of us from the states, greeted us, and then we all sat down to a larger lunch. The next day, or maybe it was that night,

we had the state dinner. I was escorted by her cousin, Prince Edward, and in every instance, she was curious. The word engaging, I must keep saying, because inquisitive, curious, of course, gracious. But this woman that people see as the queen, she's also a statesman. She had been monarch, she's been monarch for 70 years, and think of everything that that means, 11 presidents before she got to Donald Trump. And yet this was the first one who had never before held political office or military office. So probably surprised the Royals and our British friends across the pond, as much as it did many Americans, that Donald Trump would be president.

But they absolutely were so lovely to the Trump's, the Trump family, the senior staff. And I will tell you also, we had a dinner on a separate night at Windsor House, which of course is where the American ambassador to the United Kingdom, the court of St. James resides. And Woody and Susan Johnson hosted us there. This was a dinner and honor of then-Prince now came Charles. I sat at the table with President Trump, Prince Charles, Theresa May, who would be Prime Minister for a little bit longer then. Sarah Sanders was there, a couple of other folks, Mr. Hunt. And we just had a wonderful time.

And I saw Prince Charles and President Trump interacting, yes, talking about policy, but also just enjoying each other's company. And you know what, Bill, this whole nonsense of the last week or two, will President Trump be invited, won't he? You saw that the invitation was extended to the current president and the First Lady and that the past presidents,

all of whom had dealt with Queen Elizabeth, maybe not all of them at a state dinner that we had over in Great Britain. They've all been invited to a memorial service here in Washington, D.C., including the first president. Even though the file of press credit is ridiculous. Yes. Well, they did that on everything.

But I want to get real down. So I wrote in my book, The United States of Trump, that Donald Trump, from a very young age, adored his mother who was Scottish, born in Scotland, and his mother was a huge royal family fan. So Trump was predisposed to like the royal family. And he went over with you and the American entourage. Now, can you remember a conversation between the Queen and President Trump and what it entailed? Well, yes, they probably had private conversations to which I'm not privy, but the ones I did witness. Exchanging, obviously, very nice salutations, but also talking a little bit about who is this person, what does that person do?

Remember, we had cabinet officials there as well. Members of her family were there, members of President Trump's family were there. She is first and foremost about public service and family and how that all melds together for the Royals. And yes, they talked about, you know, Theresa May was just about to leave as Prime Minister and Boris Johnson was to come in. And they talked about different issues going on in the world. I remember them talking about immigration. I remember them talking about the longstanding relationship. between the two countries. I remember him talking about the economy at home. I remember him talking

about NATO. And, you know, these are just issues that the president feels comfortable raising with almost anyone. And I dare say, Bill, they had not encountered a U.S. president, the American president like Donald Trump, and people watch this who don't like Donald Trump and say, you bet they haven't. He's this, he's at. The nays sayers and the critics will be miserable all day long. Nothing we can do, but pray for them, Bill. But I'm telling you that to be a world leader, who has dealt with so many US presidents, and then to encounter President Trump, who she had already seen two and a half years

into his presidency, the volume and velocity with which he was operating. Remember, he had been abroad many times. He had given that powerful speech in Poland. He was challenging North Korea. He was containing China. He was pushing back on Putin. He made sure that the nuclear capable Iran

was not salivating, as they are now, at our best friend in the region, Israel. He was recalibrating trade deals. And he was doing things that so many leaders say they're going to do everywhere and yet never do because inertia is the most powerful physical force and less. Well, I think it's fair to say that the British Crown and Ms. May and even Johnson, they were friendly to your administration to Donald Trump. Right. Whereas Merkel, the German Chancellor, hated you guys. guys, and France, Macron, was back and forth, and the European Union didn't like you very

much. The strongest ally was London during the Trump administration. Now, King Charles, then Prince Charles. Do you know what he and Donald Trump talked about? Well, the conversation was for the entire table. There were 10 of us sitting there. I mean, it was a wide-ranging conversation. I say they're both very good storytellers. They have lived full lives and they have seen their respective industries, if you will, from chief perspective. They've been the guys in charge. And I wrote in my book, pages 341 to 4, 343 are about this state visit. And in fact, I wrote in the book that we had this dinner honoring Charles Prince of Wales and I wrote in there that I was pretty sure Prince Charles was wonderful company and we were all

certain had never encountered the U.S. President quite like Trump. The Prince was laughing heartily as the president told stories and showcased his own sense of humor. The conversations during cocktails and over dinner were next level, which is true. Remember, we had other British officials at our table, and without disclosing all of that because it wouldn't be necessary or proper, I would say what people will remember from that dinner was the levity and the friendship being passed on to the next president, in this case, Donald Trump. And what you said, Bill, is so rich and so true about President Trump's love of and affection for his mother, her Scottish heritage,

and by extension, the Royals. That one, that's always a key. You know, Bill, people never use the word humility. I remember one saying that with the gravity and responsibility of a role like President of the United States must come humility. And, you know, people just ridiculed that the way they ridiculed hidden undercover Trump voter in 2016. But it's both, it's all true.

In the presence of the queen, the president was very humble. and people always play that stupid video where he's walking in front of her. He didn't do that on purpose. She was behind. He was lovely to her. She was lovely to him. And I'm only saying that because I was there. It is not my place to characterize how any of the royal family felt or the queen believed or said.

I was there. Listen, this was not a one and done. This was not a drive-by, a cocktail party. Go have a couple weenie wraps and some pins. This was an all-out blowout state visit. We took tours of that dealt with Churchill, that dealt with Parliament. We were, as I say, we had two dinners, two lunches. The president and Theresa May had a bilateral that was public, that the press were there,

the international press were there. This was an action-pack three-day state visit. No, I went very well. I remember it. Final question for you. Did you get to see the corgis? Holly, the Tara Dog wants to know. You know what? I did see the corgis. And I've been a corgi owner for 30 years, Bill.

I also have a Georgia and a Charlotte. So I feel very connected as an American these days. I've had corgis for 30 years. They're a very special dog. And let me tell you, for corgi owners across the pond here in America, she, the late great Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth is our Queen as well. Because whenever somebody said, what kind of dog is that? Looks so squatty. I'd say, well, it's a corgi. You know, the Queen has them. And that's a typical response from. And I will say instead of flowers, we went over and bar. a little stuff for you to the british embassy which is down the street from our home here in washington dc with little notes um and the last thing i wanted to say you know for all the all the outpouring of affection admiration the grace and dignity and just sheer honor and respect for her majesty um you remember there was a time when the monarchy was was less that less popular than they are now and i think i can't help to think that queen elizabeth who saw the high of the highs and the lows of the lows

also can sympathize or empathize with other leaders who also maybe don't have public opinion on their side here and there or be or being looked at all absolutely she paid attention yeah she paid attention i don't know if she's a big boris fan but she paid attention kelly i thank you much she was lovely to us she was lovely to us as was prince harry and the royals and we were told by the protocol office before we went bill as you know don't ask them any personal questions don't say anything, but Princess Kate, now, you know, Princess of Wales, she, she said to me, do you have any children? I said, oh, I have four, including a George and a Charlotte. You know, I was able to say that. And then I said, I have corgis and must have sounded like

a little schoolgirl, but I took my opening to connect to the personal level. Absolutely. All right. The book is, here's the deal of memoir, Kellyanne Conway. Thanks for helping to say out, Kelly Ann. We really appreciate it. Sure. All the best. Okay, let's go back to the border. So, again, you know all about the Martha's Vineyard thing, but what you may not know is that the governor of Texas sent another 150 migrants to Vice President Harris's home, dropped them off right in front of her house in D.C. So she's not real happy about all of this or the Martha's Vineyard deal. Roll it. There were children, people being put on a bus or a plane, who don't know where they're going or where they were being sent.

Human beings, real people who have fled harm, who came to the United States of America seeking refuge, asylum. I think it is the height of irresponsibility, much less. just, frankly, a dereliction of duty when you are an elected leader to play those kinds of games with human life and human beings. If you think there's a problem, be part of the solution. You're right back at you, right? What have you done to stop the open border, Ms. Vice President? And dereliction of duty, Biden administration is not enforcing immigration law. not a dereliction of duty and human beings being sent all over the place i believe that's what

the bide administration is doing miss a vice president putting people on planes at the border and sending them all over the united states without informing the jurisdictions where the plane is going to land vineyard people knew these 50 were coming all right they knew it but Here in New York, when the plane lands at 3 a.m. Westchester, everybody's going, what? So, totally phony. I mean, she lives in a world of her own and always will. Not a real person. I'm just an automaton. Okay, so Corinne Jean-Pierre, White House spokesperson, again confronted about the border. Go. does the white house stand by those comments that the border is secure what we stand by is that we are doing

everything that we can to make sure that that that we follow the process that's been put forth that that's why we have historic funding to do just that to make sure that you know to make sure that to make sure that the folks that we encounter at the border be removed or expelled. Um, ah, uh, oh, uh, remember that song, the witch doctor in the 50s? Ui, uh, bing bang, wala, walla, bing bang. I think, she should do a remake of that, Ms. Jump here. Look, there. And the tragedy of this is that everybody thinks that Joe Biden's doing a good job,

45%. They don't give a wit about what's happening at the southern border, and neither does the media. New Orleans, one of my favorite towns, unbelievably unique, Cajun culture, great food. It's a murder capital of the USA. It supplants St. Louis, okay? Homicides up 141% in the Big Easy, compared to 2019. Beckings up 210 percent, shootings up 100 percent, totally out of control. In fact, New Orleans is now ranked the ninth most dangerous city in the world. Do you know the most dangerous city in the world? Tijuana, Mexico, run by the drug cartels. Now why is New Orleans like this?

Incompetent mayor. I mean, she joins, I even forget her name, but she's just, doesn't know what she's doing. like Lightfoot in Chicago, de Blasio in New York, he's gone, but Adams hasn't recovered or even close. So New Orleans, tough, tough, you know. It is a city that is being run by the federal government as far as law enforcement is concerned. They can't recruit police officers there. You can't even go into the Ninth War. You can't go there.

That's how dangerous it is. Starbucks says, hey, you know, we tried, but we were closing stores in New Orleans, including the one in the French Quarter because the city can't protect Starbucks employees. The thugs just going in and roughen them up, holding them up. New Orleans can't do it. Bye-bye Starbucks. Denver, Colorado, as some of you know, I lived there for two years. When I was there in the late 1970s, excellent city. changed dramatically. A lot of liberals from the West Coast moved in. Now, Colorado is still traditional

outside of Denver, which dominates. Okay, so Denver now says it is going, the city of Denver is going to give $2 million that it has from the federal government. It's going to hand 140 homeless people the money. All right. So it's being run by a college and the Colorado Health Foundation. So a bunch of people are going to get cash. Here's the problem. Nobody's going to be drug tested. So they know that. The people in Denver and everywhere else know that know that most of the homeless are drug and alcohol addicted people. And if you give them cash, they'll spend it on drugs and alcohol. Not on getting an apartment or upgrading their standard of living, it's going to go for

their addiction. So why are you doing this? Now the money isn't coming out of Colorado, as I said, it's coming out of a grant that Denver received from the American Rescue Plan, a Biden thing. But so what? It's still American tax-free money that you're just given to drug addicts and alcoholics so they can get high. This is just, it's so ridiculous. All right, Disney World, a group called Time to Play conducted a study this month, September, 2,000 self-reported Disney World enthusiasts, right? People who go there a lot.

Okay, 93% believe the cost of a Disney World vacation in Orlando is now out of reach for average families, and it is. So if you are a working class family of four, husband, wife, two children, and you go to three days in Orlando, that's going to cost you between two and $3,000, about $1,000 a day with hotels and food and admissions. and all of that. You got that kind of loot? 68% of the Disney enthusiasts say the rampant price increases make it feel like Disney World has lost its magic. Well, not for the Disney shareholders or the CEO, Chapic.

Their magic is this, money. They don't care about poor families, working glass families. I told you this for a year. They're gouging, price gouging. And it's so pernicious because it's children want to go. I took my kids down there. That was the last place on earth I wanted to be, but I took them. I went a good time, and I have enough money to afford it. Ah, so bad. Smart life. As you know, we have partnered up with Vidgo as a streaming service. It'll cut your cable bill

in half and give you most of what you get right now. And in addition, it'll give you me. So we have a new program, a weekly, called Shock and All with Bill O'Reilly, exclusively on Vidgo. First two were violence in the National Football League, and the second one was Joe Biden's place in history. This week will be the dramatic culture change in America. Okay? We got Victor Davis Hansen. We got Ben Chavez. These are heavyweights.

So if you're living a smart life, you want to see this. And you want to cut your cable bill down, right? I hope so. All right, this day in history, September 19, 2017 involves President Trump. At that time, North Korea was threatening everybody and conducting a series of missile tests and saber-rattling across the board. So here's what President Trump said five years ago today. The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself for its allies,

we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States is ready, willing, and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary. Now, that kind of presentation by President Trump not only inhibited Rocket Man, who leads North Korea, but China and Russia, in my humble opinion. Because you have to understand something. Trump's ego was tied into foreign policy. But if a Putin invaded Ukraine on Trump's watch, that would have been a direct insult to Trump.

And believe me, when you insult the former president, he takes action. This is as simple as it is. They all knew that Donald Trump governed in a very personal way. all of them okay got a good mail segment and a final thought about keeping you alive we'll be right back

let's get to the mail Ron Brockenbrow Jackson Tennessee are the November elections going to be conducted honestly legally and ethically if so how will the public know for sure they're not going to know run. Again, I will tell you, the elections are run by the individual states, like Tennessee.

There is no magical overseer of the vote. Each state runs it. Some run the votes responsibly. Some do not. You vote? You're conscious. That's all you can do. Why do voters in Democratic-led cities not food for change? Why do they continue accepting the lies of Democrat candidates running for office and not give the other side a shot? Because they're committed to the liberal cause. You can't be a Democrat these days and not be a liberal. There are no more so-called blue-dog Democrats have gone. So if you want to be a Democrat or vote for that party or those candidates,

candidates, you have to be liberal. And liberals believe in many different reasons why in what the Democratic Party is currently espousing. Richard Flannery, Silver Spring, Maryland. Biden is taking an economic victory lap on a day the Dow drops 1,200 points. And that proves what you've been saying all along, O'Reilly. He is detached from reality. Yes. Now, that doesn't mean that he can't process things. On the 60-minute interview, he was fairly lucid. But I'll submit to you, he knew what was coming. Because as I said at top of the show,

that interview doesn't make any sense. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

All right, so Richard says, be more consistent, Bill. Either Biden has diminished mentally or he isn't. Listen, he's diminished. all right i don't know on a sliding scale of ten but he can't process information or problem solve in my humble opinion

aldeisa in navarre florida i think two factors are temporarily driven down gas prices the first the rate on the strategic petroleum reserve which has increased supply and driven prices lower second i think americans have changed your driving habits yeah Well, there's more supply, and that's why from a high of about $5, guess about average $350 now. Okay, but remember it was $2.30 when Biden took office. Now, I hope it goes down below $2.30.

See, some people are not rooting for economic benefit because they want Biden out and the Democrats out. I don't do that. Steve Block, Meridian, Idaho. And yesterday's Wall Street Journal, an article noted that bank deposits are down a record $390 billion in the second quarter of this year, yet the government is claiming rising employment numbers. How is this possible? Because people are working, but their wages are going down because of inflation.

So if you get a 3 percent raise this year, Steve, you're losing 5 percent. of your paycheck to inflation. So, there are fewer dollars being put in the bank because people have to spend those dollars to live. Glenda, I say killing Jesus is your best book, O'Reilly. It's the best story of Jesus I have ever read. I appreciate it, Glenda. Killing Jesus was our most difficult book to write.

But if you care about Jesus, you got to read it. It's not an option. Aris, a megafaan, Bethesda Maryland. Mr. Bill, when talking about your new book, Killing the Legends, did you ever consider including Michael Jackson? No. Michael Jackson did not come close to the cultural impact of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, or Muhammad Ali.

Wasn't even the same hemisphere. Those three men influenced everything in this country to this day. And that's what we lay out in killing the legends, which is out a week from tomorrow. Now, the weight of their fame and celebrity and their success crushed them and left them vulnerable to people close to them who exploited them, all three. You'll see it. It's a thread like this. But what they accomplished in entertainment and sports changed the whole country. And that's why I selected them in killing the legends. So again, that book will be out a week from tomorrow. You can pre-order it

Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Here is the final thought of the day. So you can't see it because my makeup artist is so good. But right here on my head, my line right there, I had a bunch of stuff taken off by my brilliant dermatologist late last week.

And not only there, but all, I was like I was at the little big horn with the Native Americans, you know, Tomahawk. Now, I have to do this or I'm going to die because my father died from melanoma. And I was a lifeguard slash water safety instructor in my teenage years, and there was no sunblock back then. I mean, people were using aluminum foil put under their chin to get more sun on their face. And then I went to Miami and taught high school, and we were always out in the hot Florida sun. Now, I didn't know this is going to happen, but on blue eyes, I got fair skin, I got stuff. And they got it. Boom, boom, boom. So every eight weeks, I go to the dermatologist to get this taken care of before it amounts to anything.

because if it if it's malignant if you have anything on your body you got to then get deeply cut this is just surface stuff and heal and then I got to slap on all it is cream it's just and it's such a pain I can't tell you but I've got to stay healthy and my two weak points and every human being has weak points in their body my two are my skin because it's so fair in my stomach. All right? So I got to have the stomach thing looked at.

I'm going to go in October for that because that's my weak point. So why I'm telling you all this is not to be narcissistic. All right. I'm here, and if I die tomorrow, I don't have any beef. I'm not afraid to die. I've lived a life that few human beings have ever lived. I've done everything that I've wanted to do. I've succeeded way more than

anybody ever thought possible. So if I go tomorrow, if God says, that's it, O'Reilly. I'm tired of the no spin news. That's fine. But while I'm here, I want to operate at maximum capacity physically. That means more sugar. Once in a while, I'll go get an ice cream because that's not going to kill me. sugar is gone, all right? And it doesn't mean I'm going to be going crazy in the gym or anything like that. It means I'm going to be vigilant. And that's why you need a good doctor and dentist because the teeth can kill you, literally, if you don't treat them right. So anyway, I want you to stay around as long as you can. Got to be proactive. It's got to be. If you let it go, particularly if you see something that shouldn't be there, you say, man, get it checked out.

Is pain in the neck? It is. But there are people who love you, and they want you around. And that is the final thought. Thank you very much for watching and listening on our radio affiliates across the country. To the no-spin news, we will see you again tomorrow.
