Welcome to the No Spin News from Monday, July 8th, 2019. Did you miss me last week when I was gone? I'll tell you all about it. I have two prongs on my trip. One is professional and the other is personal. I'll give you all the inside stuff that's coming up a little later on. The New York Times is the most famous newspaper in America. And at one point, it was covering the news in an honest way. That's long gone. It is now a a left to far left journal, trying to impose social justice, political correctness, and quasi-socialism on the nation. That's what it does every day, every hour, every second. They put this out

on 4th of July week. Roll it. We got so caught up in the rhetoric about America being the greatest country on earth that we've long ignored the cracks in our system. And while a bit of patriotism is great, Jingoism is dangerous, especially when it's built on old or fake news. So as we gear up for another election season where politicians tell us America is great, or that it isn't and then proceed to make it worse, let's try a more truthful approach. America may once have been the greatest, but today America, we're just okay. And you're a moron, and the New York Times is a far-left journal that doesn't like this country. the way it is that wants to change you dramatically.

And if you oppose the New York Times, they will try to hurt you. That's who they are over there. So when you hear that, I just go, oh, we're just okay. So who would be more okay? What country would be more okay than America, which is protecting the world?

Which country? Sweden? Switzerland? It's ridiculous. And for the New York Times to put that out on on 4th of July week is not irresponsible because that's who they are. They're at least being honest about who they are. Foolish, that's the word. Quick spot right back with my trip to the Alps. You have been hearing about gold all over the news. Prices keep going up. Experts are warning. A recession is here. It's time to prepare. A recent analyst this week says he sees gold going up hundreds of dollars per ounce to hit 1,700.

and I hope you liked them. And there were two reasons. One was a business reason, and one was to have some fun and show the urchins a part of the world that they had not seen. So the business part was I had to meet some people in Berlin, which I did. And it's more political stuff, but it'll unfold later on. But I, you know, I'm a person who knows a lot of people all over the world. And when I get a chance to speak to

them, I do. So while I was there in Munich, I wrote a column about this and I hope you read it in depth. It's a column I think you'll enjoy. It's called a plan. It's the far left and the Democratic party candidates running for president, want the system they have in Germany. They want that social system. But I'm just going to give you, this is Munich. Could be an American city. The language and the old buildings, you change the language to English and old buildings of the old building, but could be an American city. I had people live in small homes. They drive nice cars, they eat kind of food weed here. There's not a lot of difference. So you're a German worker, okay, in Munich. You pay 8% local tax to the Munich government for the privilege

of living in Munich. Then you pay 12% to Berlin for your health care, not free. Once you pay the 12% then you can go to your hospital and you don't have to pay a bill there. You also pay 19% percent value-added tax, VAT, on everything you buy, 19%. In addition, Berlin hits you with an income tax, 45% highest level, 14% lowest level. When you get through with all of that, you don't have any money left over. And that's what the German government wants. Doesn't want German workers to accumulate savings so it can invest in the stock market, to bonds and move up, buy a better house.

You can't do any of that. You don't have any money. The government takes all of it to give you enough to live and live pretty well. You can have your beer, you can have your wine, you can have decent food on a table. You can have a BMW, you've got to pay it off, but you can have it. Anything left over to put in the bank to buy some stock? No. That's what the Democrats want here.

Okay? It was obvious. And the people in Munich don't like it. In Berlin, different story. Liberal city. Very liberal city. And if you're unemployed in Germany, you get a lot of stuff. You don't have to look for a job.

You're a heroin addict. You want to sit out there and take drugs all day long? Government will support you. The industrial people, the industrious people, I should say, they don't like it. Let's throw to this, and then we'll come back with my final thought on my trip. If you are over the age of 50, I have an important message for you. There's a true alternative to AARP, the Liberal Retirement Group, that lobbies in favor of progressive policies.

Okay, so here's the deal with southern Germany. beautiful. And then I cross over into Austria, went to the Lake District. More beautiful. Highlights.

Mad Lugwig's castle. The guy was a nut. He built this big castle. There's a picture of it on the website. And you go up there and you go through it and it's really a lot of laughs. We got caught in a downpour, but it was still fun. Then I went to Hitler's castle. All right. And Burschikadn called the Eagle's Nest. amazing engineering. You go through this long tunnel, you take an elevator up. They had that elevator in the late 30s. And then there's pictures up there that I've never seen before. Hitler only went there 12 times. It was a propaganda thing. You know, basically he's up there with the dog and all that. But just to get up there and see it's 6,000 feet. It was packed.

And we're actually selling souvenirs, but they didn't mention, it's against the law to sell anything Nazi-themed in Germany. Against the law. Now, this Eagles is right on the border of Austria, but I was just stunned by that elevator, how they did it, cut through that mountain. And you're up there, and it's just amazing. They blew Hitler's house up, but his fireplace is still there and a few other things. This is unbelievable. So we're driving, because we got to go from one to the They're charging you to use the bathroom in the public rest stops. And then in the restaurants, not all of them, but some of them, charging you a buck to use the restroom.

This is coming to America. You had to have 50 euros. It's more than a buck, you know, close to a buck. Some more, one euro, that's more than a dollar, just to use the head. and it is everywhere. Mark my words, it's coming here. Austria, no more migrants. They don't want to talk about it.

Don't want to talk about it. But they say, no more. Unlike Germany and Merkel, they still take some. Austria didn't take any. So we had a really good time, except for the bathroom thing. Didn't like that at all. I recommend you go to the Alps, put it on your list. Switzerland, been there many times, beautiful place, but I wanted to do the Bavaria-Austrian thing this time.

We'll see you again tomorrow.
