Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, January 24, 2022, stand up for your country. The return of the Talking Points memo begins today. Now, you'll remember, if you watch me on Fox News, that I live, let off almost every program with the Talking Points Memo. I was the first one ever to do that, a monologue in a news-based program, and now they all do it, but they don't do it nearly as well as we did it or will do it. So the Talking Points Memo is back.

And today, voter suppression is the subject of the Talking Points Memo. I'm so happy to bring this back. So voter suppression is a fraud. How do we know that? It's a fact-based opinion. So I tortured my staff over the weekend, all right, because that's the kind of guy I am. He said, find me one lawsuit, one that has been filed in any state that says an individual was denied the right to vote. Couldn't do it.

doesn't exist as far as we know. And we combed it. We did find 38 cases, lawsuits, active lawsuits, that are filed by groups, most on the left or far left, proclaiming various problems in the state's apparatus of voting. Thirty-eight in play now. That's miniscule. when you consider that, what do we have, 150,000 people voting, but we couldn't want any that said, no, I couldn't vote. They wouldn't take my mail in, or I didn't do this or I didn't do that. None. So what is this voter suppression deal?

What is this? Well, it all centers around the far left wanting the federal government to take voting authority away from the states. And therefore, every election would be run out of Washington, D.C. That's unconstitutional, and the Constitution is not going to change. So even if this Biden-driven Voting Rights Act was passed, it would be thrown out almost immediate. Okay? But you ought to know, and talking points is adamant that you know, what a fraud this is. So there are two bases. things in play. First one, no voter ID. Why? Why? African Americans, according to a Scott Rassen poll, 78% say, yeah, we ought to have voter ID. As I reported many times,

Canada, Mexico, and about 20 countries in Europe have them. Are they all racist nations? Why no voter ID? Why didn't anybody ask Biden that? Because the Democrats get out there and they basically say, to the world, the Republican Party doesn't want minorities to vote. That's what this is. This is a propaganda scam, all right? But they can't back it up because there is no data to back it up. And the polls say that most African Americans, every other minority group, and the majority of Democrats want voter IDs. And the second thing is the most important. I mean, voter ID. are important. But this is more important. The Zuckerberg factor, 430 million, some say 470 million, poured into individual counties to alter the vote in favor of the Democrats. That's what

happened. So Donald Trump made a big mistake hiring Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell and others to run around casting aspersions, word of the day, on the Dominion voting machines. That was bogus. All right, and Dominion's going to win those lawsuits. It didn't happen. What did happen was all of this Zuckerberg money and maybe others, we just know about Zuckerberg, went into individual counties to quote unquote harvest votes. so people paid people making nice money went into nursing homes individual homes where they knew

there were people who were elderly or perhaps not mentally fit people went in and said here's how you vote give it to me this is mailing they took the votes they brought the votes in a precinct god knows what they did with it no laws against that isn't illegal. Should be, because you can't do that when you vote in person. No electioneering felony, you do it. But mail-in votes, you can do whatever you want, which is why the Democrats want them. It's a cheat sheet. So let me recap. Talking points want you to know three essential things. There is not one lawsuit in this country at this time as far as we can tell of an individual American suing because his or her vote was not counted or

they could not vote. Zero. Number two, this election bill that isn't going to get passed because no Republicans will vote for it and Mansion and Cinema won't, okay, would strike down all voter ID laws. There would not be a voter ID allowed in America. Number three, three, it doesn't deal at all with private money going into selected voting places to alter the vote in favor of the Democrats. That's what Zuckerberg won. Okay? Now, I don't think I can make this picture any more clear than I have, which is why I brought back the Talking Points memo. Okay. Now, I learned something this weekend I did not know. Do you ever hear of the Arabella group, A-R-A-B-E-L-A?

I never heard of it. It has $730 million. This group is based in Washington, D.C., with offices in five other American cities. $730 million. What does this group do? Okay? Okay. It is behind the push to reform voting laws. This isn't a popular uprising. This is dark money because nobody knows about Arabella Group. You don't know. I didn't know. And these are the people that are pushing the so-called voter reform. Okay. Now, they call themselves Arabella Advisors. They're based in Washington, as I mentioned. It was founded in 2005 by Eric Kessler, who is a former Clinton administration staffer. Okay. It is run now by a woman named Sampreti Ganguli. All right? She took over CEO in 2015. It is a far, far, far.

far left group. Now, we don't know where it got $730 million yet. We will find out. On Wednesday, we're going to bring in investigators from the Capital Research Center, right, which is looking into this Arabella group. So there is so much corruption in this voting area now, and you need to me, and we are on it. We are on it. And again, I'll tell you, you will not hear this anywhere. Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS. They're not going to tell you. This won't. Okay, Mitch McConnell, he's a racist. Do you know that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, McConnell made a mistake. I make them, you make them, everybody makes them, but he's the Senate Minority Leader, and he said this, go.

Well, the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high percentage as Americans. Okay, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans. Mitch, other Americans, O-T-H-E-R, other Americans. Now, it was a rhetorical mistake. What he said is true. The African Americans aren't being suppressed, okay? But he left out the word other.

Immediately, the race hustlers, the race demonizers, went on television. go you heard that right so black folks are not americans his response immediately prompted the question is black twitter going to have to smack a mitch and indeed they did rightfully so my issue with mitch mcconnell is you know there are african-americans and then there are americans and whether it was a slip of the tongue or not and i don't think it was i don't care what he says um this idea in 2022, still, that there's some, that we're not a part of America. We are apart from America. So that fool apparently believes that the Senate minority leader would go out and say,

that's what Cape Hart said, alleges, that African-Americans really are at Americans. Now, even if McConnell thought that, which I don't know, don't believe he does, but I don't know him. Okay. He would never say it. Okay, because that's death. So, um, the level of vitriol coming out of the liberal television networks, unprecedented in this country, has never been this bad. My new poll on Joe Biden. This is from NBC, Republican 28%, Democrat 30, independent 35, so the sample was legit. Is the USA heading in the right direction or on the wrong track? 22% headed in the right direction.

22%. Wrong track, 72%. I've never seen anything like that, of you? It's almost everybody in the country. You know, not going well. However, Fox News poll. I told you this before. This poll, dubious.

I'll be kind. I've never seen this poll. Be anywhere near accurate. It asks, is President Biden doing a good or bad job in office? All right? So, according to Fox News, 47% approved. of Mr. Biden's job performance, 52% disapproved. Now, compare that to 72% in the NBC poll saying,

no, do you think that 47% of Americans would say, yeah, he's doing a good job, but the country's going to hell? Now, you could say, well, the NBC poll is bogus. All right, but this Fox News number is, is not close to whatever, all the other polls, all of them. I don't know. I just don't know. When I was there, I did use the Fox News polling, but it was a completely different outfit doing it than there is now. 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.

Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-26-5576 or text bill to 998899.

Ukraine. Now, very, very serious situation, but here's some good news on Ukraine. The Russian stock market crashed today. Okay. The RTS index lost 9%. The ruble fell to its lowest level in more than a year. So Russia does not want this, invasion of Ukraine. Now, the U.S. stock market is tottering, you know that. And we'll get to that in a little while. But I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm still holding to my opinion that Putin won't do it. Because the economic disaster that he brings upon himself by invading Ukraine when he doesn't have to, Now, this is not necessary, is going to be substantial because there will be economic sanctions. Now, the U.S. State Department has pulled all the families of U.S. embassy personnel out.

NATO has announced it's sending fighter jets and ships to Eastern Europe. It's a black sea for the ships. You know, they're looking at it. one country, MIA, is Germany. We knew that would happen. As soon as the Putin pipeline came in to Germany bringing natural gas, Germany's not going to do anything about Putin, unless Putin actually invades Germany. And even then, they might not do anything. So don't expect Germany to be a trusted ally of NATO or America, because it won't be. All right, so we got Putin saber-rattling. I still don't think he's going to do it, but if I'm wrong, I will admit it,

and you'll know it. So we got a U.S. aircraft carrier in the South China Sea, and they're reporting that Chinese are buzzing Taiwan. Taiwan government says, yeah, they are. So this is more saber-rattling, this time by the communist Chinese in Beijing. But they won't do anything until after the Olympics, if they do anything at all. Because the same thing applies. If China invades and tries to take over Taiwan, then there'll be tremendous economic sanctions level against China. The Chinese economy is not that good right now. That's what you can't do is shoot war anymore. You just can't. The weapons are too destructive. it's all economic warfare. So this is the final nail, a proverbial nail in President Biden's

coffin if the stock market goes south. It certainly has had a terrible month in January. All right, so the S&P is down more than 9%. Nasdaq, 14%. So I told you, or suggested, told you sounds, you know, suggested that you put stops on your individual stocks. Stop loss. That means when it hits a certain point, it automatically sells. I do that, and a bunch of my stocks have sold. I made money in them. I made profits, but I didn't particularly want to sell them and to hold them for a longer term. But you can't in this volatile age. So I walked away with my money. And I still have stops on all my stocks. Now, if you don't have them, you're playing roulette. Okay? I don't know what's going to happen in the stock market. Nobody does.

In the long term, the stock market will rise. I feel that Wall Street will panic a little bit in the next few weeks with Ukraine and everything else in Biden. But then they'll look ahead to November when the Biden administration is going to get it right between the eyes. It's going to be a catastrophe for the Democrats. The market will probably build that in. This is my thinking. Nobody else in the second half of the year. But I could be wrong on that. That's why you need to protect yourself if you're in the stock market. Now, if you have mutual funds like I do, up and down. But I hold. I don't panic so. All right. So the latest information at a Johns Hopkins University fine institution in Baltimore is that at least 20% of Americans have had COVID,

at least. The number is much higher because some people have been asymptomatic. They didn't know they had it. Others didn't report it. So I don't know how high it is, but I wouldn't be surprised 30 percent. A third of us have had COVID. Country seen almost 900,000 deaths. And in Great Britain, no more mandates. No more mandates for COVID in Great Britain. Why? Because Boris Johnson of prime minister is in deep trouble for partying without a mask. So Boris instituted really strict COVID-mask mandates and got to carry the card, you've got a passport. But Boris themselves is, you know, hey, just like the California politicians. All right. But in Britain, they take this a lot more seriously than they do in California. So Boris, he goes, ooh, to save my own butt, I'm going to

lift all mandates, which he has. And his justification is that 83% of Brits are vaccinated. Okay. I figured you want to know what's going on over there. So over the weekend, I do a lot of reading, and I've been reading a book called American Muck Raker, all right, rethinking journalism for the 21st century. Why am I reading this? Because I'm a journalist. It's written by James O'Keefe. You know him. He's the founder of Project Veritas, very controversial man, and he joins us now from White Plains, New York. So congrats on the book. You're moving some product, and I got a bunch of questions for you.

We asked you to list in your Project Veritas experience the three most important stories that you broke in your opinion. Number one would be? Well, I think one of the most important stories was the one we did in September 1st of this past year involving a communist teacher who he exposed. A whistleblower came to us with a picture of an antifa flag inside the school, Gabriel Gipe, and then we covertly recorded this teacher at a coffee shop in Sacramento, and he said he wanted to F with your kids and train them how to be radicals. This fomented, this created hundreds of outraged parents attending the school board meeting

and kind of kicked off a series of events in education around the United States. But Bill, the most amazing part about the story was it was not left versus right, Democrats, Republicans, it was just angry mothers of all races, ethnicities, and political backgrounds upset about what was happening to their children. It was forging consensus, which I think is what journalism is supposed to do, which is forged consensus. I write about that theme in this book, American Muckraker. Yeah, and that's what happened in Virginia and overturned the whole political structure there. The second story that you mentioned was about Trump rallies. Explain that to us.

Well, that was a story I think you covered as well in 2016 when on Fox, but it was involving a series of hidden camera videos we did on Bob Kramer and Democracy Partners. And in these recordings, Scott Fovol, someone working for Americans, United for Change, a progressive nonprofit of Wisconsin, was recorded saying that he was trying to foment violence at Trump rallies and blame it on Trump. Bob Kramer, a close friend of Barack Obama, was recorded. This was in 2016, saying we want to hide this from people. Don't tell anybody that we're doing this, bird docking at rallies, sort of touching people

on the shoulder, and then Trump supporters would swap them away and they'd fall to the ground. There was a big story at the time. Bob Kramer was fired from Democracy Partners. Scott Foote was fired. They ended up suing me, forget this breach of fiduciary duty. That's going to trial in federal court. Project Veritas has never lost a lawsuit. But Bill, those videos were huge, and a lot of things probably contributed to Trump winning,

but these videos certainly caused massive media. And I mean, it's important to remind people about this subterfuge and how people don't know that this stuff happens. Now, the third one you mentioned was Acorn, and we all remember that. And that subsequently, that group went out of business. It's now resurrected under another name. But the one I wanted to ask you about was the abortion body part. thing. I thought that was an excellent, excellent undercover investigation that you did, but of course you were vilified for it. Has the body parts of aborted fetuses, has that changed at

all? Well, that was actually, I've done work on Planned Parenthood. That particular expose was done by David Delighton. There's a friend and colleague of mine, but Virotas did not actually do that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, but go ahead, go ahead with that explanation. I mean, I think, I think that It's going through the courts right now with DeLyden. So they, California has a statute, 632 of the California Penal Code. They come after both Lila Roas and myself and David Delidin for recording people without their permission in the state of California, which is a two-party consent state to tape. So they're trying to go after David for committing felonies for recording what the Planned Parenthood

people say. And Bill, I read about in this book, oftentimes these two-party consent statutes indemnify the guilty. We believe it's a constitutional right. to record anybody as long as they know that they're with the person they're talking to and clearly they didn't go after you know people who expose animal cruelty it's so it's not about the methods it's always about the findings and they were very angry at david for you know for that body part thing is horrible and um maybe we'll have him on and i apologize for giving you credit for what he did now you have a lawsuit against twitter all right project veritas and you have

sued Twitter because they kind of vanished you, right? Tell me about that. Yeah, well, we quoted a, this was really my moment of awakening because we did a story on Charlie Chester, who is the control room director at CNN, and we caught him on tape. Again, he did not know that he was being recorded. This is the guy that runs the control room at CNN. In April this year, he was saying, we were a propaganda network. This is his words, not mine. He said, You know, we want to get Trump out. And we got Trump out. He also talks about the death numbers they put on the screen at CNN. He says, we want to make those numbers higher. A lot more people to die. So our death numbers can be higher because to quote Charlie Chester, fear sells. So I do this story. Of course, it's probably number four, Bill, on the list of most important stories we've ever done in the history of Project Veritas. And Twitter bans me for doing this story. Now, why? Well, they say, yeah, let me put forward their point. point of view to be fair, okay? So Twitter says that Project Veritas, you, are permanently suspended because you were running fake accounts. Not only did you have Project Veritas account,

you had other accounts that were putting stuff out there, but they were under names that weren't valid. That's their point of view, right? That's the crux of the of the banishment for you. Am I correct? That is correct that they said that, but it's an incorrect. statement that they made and I sued them for defamation right and of course it's absurd I've never created a fake account and I've and I've written an affidavit in court to that fact and that's going through the courts it's going through the litigation process and it's another word about this process is that we've sued the New York Times for defamation we've sued Twitter we've sued the New York

Times and the New York Times case bill we got passed motion to dismiss which is a huge as you know hurdle to get passed in a libel lawsuit the near the judge in New York state arguing yes indeed the new york times did act with deception well you and sarah palin have something in common because her lawsuit was a part supposed to start today i'll get to that in a moment finally um ashley biden's diary all right joe biden's daughter was she says stolen now somehow your name got attached to all this can you tell me about that yeah a source came to us with actually Biden's diary, a document October of 2021, right before the last election, I'm sorry, 2020. And then we looked into it. We tried to corroborate, tried to authenticate it.

I thought I failed to do that at the time. Turns out, I guess it was real. I was almost certain, but not 100%. I also couldn't corroborate what she wrote in this diary. She had said some things about her father, Joe Biden, said she took inappropriate showers with him. I didn't know what that means. I didn't feel comfortable publishing the story, so I didn't run it. A year later, the FBI shows up at my apartment and raids my home. They have a search warrant listing crimes such as accessory after the fact, which bill is an absurd insinuation for an American journalist to be accused of accessory after the fact for a source transmitting me a document. The Supreme Court of the United States has made it clear that a journalist can publish a document which is

stolen so long as the journalist did not participate in the theft of that document. So this is a huge violation of my rights. But you didn't even publish it. You didn't even publish it. They're just looking for it. And the FBI, we ought to make clear, didn't charge you with anything. You haven't been charged in this case, correct? No.

No, I haven't been charged. I just wanted to know what the deuce it was because, I mean, I'm looking at this thing going, what is that? This is a violation of my rights. Okay. You have a busy guy. You got a lot of stuff going on. When is the Twitter lawsuit and the New York Times lawsuits? When are they going to hit the court, do you think?

Well, the New York Times lawsuit, we have two victories. We got passed motion to dismiss. And then after the FBI raids bill, the New York Times published my private attorney-client privileged documents, which is litigation misconduct. And the judge in New York asking them to sequester those memos, which is the first time anybody has defeated the New York Times in court like that in 50 years. Yeah, an independent thing is looking at them. Right. But the actual court case, when do you think that's going to come up?

we're going to be going into discovery hopefully soon that's that's the deposition phase and twitter when is the twitter thing we're looking well the judge the judge in new york ruled that they can be uh recently that the new york state is not the correct jurisdiction so we're choosing the right jurisdiction the litigation a couple years away all right and we just want to be fair if twitter wants to put a spokesperson out of the times or anybody else you're welcome come on a broadcast all right the book again um as american muck raker You can donate to Project Veritas because obviously Mr. O'Keefe has a lot of legal bills and he's, you know, out there by himself. He's doing it on his own.

So I applaud that. I mean, I'm not going to take a side in the litigation. We'll see how it shakes down. Hey, James, good luck with the book. We hope you sold a few copies from this appearance and we'll talk soon, I hope. Thank you. All proceeds go to Project Veritas, Americanmuckrager.com. Thank you.

Okay. All right, as I said, Sarah Palin's court appearance against the New York Times supposed to start today, but she got COVID. All right. She's an anti-vaxxer, I think, from all a reportage, but she's got COVID, and so it's been delayed. But this, she could win. So it all hinges around the New York Times saying that Ms. Palin, it's a police, political action committee actually encourage violence against Gabby Giffords. Remember, the congresswoman was shot in Arizona. And the time that said, well, it was wrong and we're sorry, but Ms. Palin says, no, we're taking into court. And that's where it is. We will follow that trial. University of Washington, they have some words they don't want the students

to say this is all every place now all right instead of educating students they're going down to english language saying you can't say these words i'm going to give you just five all right lame the world the word l a m a lame like it's lame come on can't say it because it's ablest this is according to university of washington i don't know what ablest is but they say the words offensive even when it's using slang uh because it's using a disability in the a negative way. Okay. Ninja. No ninja because the word can be perceived as masculine and therefore discourage some groups from applying. Applying to be a ninja? I don't know. Minority, can't say minority because it applies a less than attitude toward a certain community.

Minority is out. Ninja's out. Lame is out. Grandfather, like grandfather in out out problematic word because he exempts some people from change finally housekeeping problematic because it can feel gendered housekeeping no housekeeping no university Washington everyone's command this day in history 33 years ago January 24th 1989. Ted Bundy, executed in Florida by the electric chair. Now, I chased Bundy from Seattle, Washington to Florida, and I did this in 1977, 78. He was perhaps the worst serial killer in this country's history. I was on this case. I was reporting for KMGH TV in Denver. the reason that I was on it was that Bundy escaped from a Pitkin County that's Aspen jail and I believed

and others believed he had help they let him out so then I got on it and I chased them all over the country I interviewed a girl in Tallahassee Florida college student who went out on a date with him I mean it was unbelievable so he was caught um in 1978 all right after he killed a 12 year old in lake city florida he confessed the 36 killings put his picture up there again you'll remember uh and authorities believed that he murdered a hundred women he was executed 33 years ago today you're looking at the face of evil right there I'm going to have a final thought on football betting in the games over the weekend, so I think you want to hang for that, even if you're not a football fan.

It's a good, I think, final thought. We will have the mail right after these announcements. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

All right, let's go to the mail. Sebastian Minjulo, Coral Springs, Florida. Hey, Bill, thanks for keeping us informed. What was on the voting rights bill that the progressives want so much? I don't understand. They don't want voter ID. And they want universal mail-in ballots. Those two things.

John, concierge member, we again encourage every American to check out concierge membership to Bill O'Reilly.com. It will help your life. John says people who don't vote, don't vote because they don't care. They're not suppressed and probably couldn't care less if somebody took their ballot and cast it for them. Okay. Kelly.

President Biden was truthful when he said he had achieved more than any other president in his first year. He never said his achievements were positive. Okay. Christine, Bill, what continues to astound and amaze me is that after so much terrible, so many terrible things, there are still people who defend Joe Biden. They're actually defending themselves, Christine, not Joe Biden.

So people who voted for a certain candidate, when a candidate turns out to be horrendous, they defend themselves. cam dickinson redwood city california in biden's press conference he challenged a report to name any president who's done a better job in his first year um you are a student of our president's bill how would you respond i wouldn't respond that's obviously delusional what i would say to mr biden is that herbert hoover aside i don't see any president in his first year it's done a worse job to the polls. There you go.

Fact base. Pat Genova. Genova. Mountainside, New Jersey. Bill heard something today that's puzzling. Why is the government wanting to mandate vaccinations for workers when they don't do the same for those receiving government benefits such as welfare or food stamps? Because that would be unconstitutional.

You can't single out a group and say they have to do this. Now, the theory and the courts ruled against President Biden, as you well know, was that because the government employees, the government can tell the employees, they have to wear masks or do whatever. They get vaccinated. Private business can do that, but government can't. So the Supreme Court ruled. Rodney Hammond, Punta Gord of Florida, Bill loved the new column, killing the vampire. That was very good. read your comic, it's better and better. Well, I appreciate you reading it. Killing the vampire is

about how the progressive movement's going to blow up because of Joe Biden. I hope everybody reads it on Bill O'Reilly.com. You will like it. Sue Fitzgibbon, Manchester, Iowa. Bill, you're absolutely correct. My propane tank was filled today. My bill is 60% higher than last January. Thanks, Joe Biden. Go. That's why they're going to get hammered. Zig Brown, Quincy, Illinois. Have you the commercial by Tom Hanks talking about the Biden administration successes. I have. But why are you surprised? Tom Hanks is an Uber liberal. He's not a bad guy. I know him a little bit. Miller is good friends with him. But he's, you know, I mean, he's just, that's where he lives, and he's always going to live there. Richard Emicki, Syracuse, New York, would you ever enter?

Holly the Tara Dog and the Westminster Dog Show. No. Too much barking, too much angst. Holly liked some other dogs, but you never know. Corgi's not that social. I'm not talking poodles here.

So if you watch the football playoff games this weekend, you know there's no way on earth anybody could pick those games.

You can't. I can't. And I know what I'm talking about in the football world. No one can. The betters, the bookies, the bests. Vegas odds makers, they know how to post the odds because they now do analytics. They analyze stuff that you would never even think of. So the spreads are pretty much could go either way.

And the house never loses. Add to that that you've got all these big time movie stars telling you to bet. every commercial bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet bet well a lot of people are betting and they're losing money because you can't win read my lips here thank you president bush the elder you can't win betting on football i mean just the green bay san francisco game Green Bay should have wiped them out by 30 points. But the offensive line lets the guys in to block the kicks. And I mean, you said, they go, what is going on?

The bookies knew the special teams were no good. Did you know? I didn't know. And I mean, the games yesterday was Kansas City 13 seconds? And they moved the ball down and get a field goal? 13 seconds. So don't bet on football. Maybe with your friend, $10, $20 just to keep it interesting.

I do that. Okay? Don't put big money on this sports betting. You're going to get hammered. You are going to lose. And they don't care. Final thought of the day. Thank you for watching us tonight.

and hope you like the talking points memo every night we're going to do it and we'll see you tomorrow
