Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, August 8th, 2022, Stand Up for Your Country. You know, there's been a culture war. I think I wrote Culture Warrior, my book, back in 2008. and there has been an intense culture war ever since. And people say it's divided 50-50 between progressive liberals and traditional conservatives. That's not really true because there are so many Americans who don't know what's happening and don't really care what's happening.

And they don't fall into either category. But for those who pay attention, I think the traditional side has a slight advantage. But I'm always amazed at the progressive liberal side because as we're seeing that, in our own daily lives, those policies don't work. They hurt individual Americans. And there's no two sides to that story. So one of the big culture war campaigns is going on right now, a war between the states, and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So it's Texas and Arizona versus New York State and the District of Columbia. And it's all about the open border undocumented migrants.

Here are the facts. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Deucey are putting undocumented migrants who are living in their states on buses and sending those buses to New York State and Washington, D.C. both mayors are now screaming for relief so muriel bowser in dc actually requested the national guard i'll get to that in a moment now you would think that we'd be talking about 50 100 000 migrants right because every year now we're looking at three million two million that are encountered by the border control another million get in and nobody knows about it. Okay, this is 7,000 from each state approximately. So this isn't

like what the border states see every day. This is just 7,000. Coming to D.C., 7,000 to Washington State. Now, California and New Mexico are also border states, but they don't care because they're run by Democrats, and Democrats support the open border, as do Mayor Bowser and the New York City Mayor Eric Adams, although he's not quite as enthusiastic as Bowser is. Okay, so this is a volunteer program. Texas and Arizona aren't forcing people on buses to go to Washington or New York. They are signing people up who want to go undocumented migrants. All expenses, paid. You know, it's a fairly rough bus trip in the summer. That's not a real pleasant experience, but their food and everything's taken care. I don't know if they drive straight

through. I suspect they do with a change of bus driver, but maybe they're staying in hotels again picked up by the federal government. So the reaction, as I said from Bowser, is send in the National Guard to, quote, help with migrant transportation. assisting like military personnel does with other humanitarian missions, including assisting Afghan refugees. That's what Bowser wants. So the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says no, because that would set precedent. So even the Biden administration knows you can't be running National Guard troops all over

the country to supervise undocumented migrants. They shouldn't be here in the first place. Remember, the Afghan refugees were settled under the law. These people broke the law. So Austin says, we're not going to send you anything. In New York City, Adams wants money, as New York City always does, from the federal government. Because he says that the migrants are overwhelming city homeless shelters. That may be true, I don't know.

And they are terrible places, by the way. You're better off in Honduras than you're better off in Honduras than you're. are in a New York City homeless shelter. Because they're full of criminals and drug addicts. And, I mean, there's no supervision inside those places. If you got kids, you don't want to be a homeless shelter. Okay, so the culture war is underway. The liberal places like New York City and New Washington, D.C. are outraged that Texas and Arizona will be sending these people up. And the Biden administration responds this way. Go. So, you know, it's the latest stunt from the governor. Another stunt of busing desperate migrants across the country. And he's using them as a

political, you know, as a political ploy. I mean, this is what he's been doing. And it's shameful. All right. What, shameful is the open border. But if you were an astute reporter, there are very few of them at the White House. These are just, I don't know, it's shocking how bad the White House press corps is. You would say, well, you're doing the same thing, Biden administration, Corinne, you're doing the same thing. You put them on planes and fly them all over the country. So Texas and Arizona put them on buses, you put them on planes. You do the same thing. All right, but Adams doesn't scream about that, even though the planes are landing. a few miles north of New York City.

But, you know, you're asking a press court in the White House to actually think. And they have no interest in doing that. They just don't want to get in trouble with their corporate masters. Okay. So this is a moral dilemma as well. There are poor people. Now, it is their fault. They came here and crossed illegally.

but the children aren't at fault because they don't know what they're just going with their uncle or parents or wherever, right? But it's a moral dilemma because you're using people who are desperately poor, it's true, okay, in a culture battle, a political battle back and forth. Now, would I do it if I were the governor of Texas or Arizona? I would probably do it. Here's why. you've got to fight back against this Biden administration. You've got to embarrass him, President Biden. You've got to embarrass him. But I say, look, our state's overrun. We can't afford this. So now you liberal bastions in New York City and Washington, D.C., who support the open border, hey, taste this. But more importantly, it raises the consciousness of the issue in front of everybody.

Not everybody. I mean, there's so many people who don't pay attention, but anybody who's got a brain knows this is going on. So I would do it, but I would feel bad about doing it. Because I know that the people in the middle here are being used politically. And that unsettling. But the greater good is to close that border down there, to stop the madness. That issue alone, take out inflation, anything else. That issue alone is enough to get rid of Biden and the Democrats. Just the open border issue. Just one thing. That's how pernicious it is. And that's the memo. All right, President Biden is in Kentucky, giving away more federal money. That's what he does, wherever he goes. People get federal money. He doesn't have any responsibility. He believes

in getting the debt down. He just money, money, money, money, money. Here it is. and Kentucky needs flood relief. They do. And California needs wildfire relief. And every state needs relief. It's his nature. All right. And Biden shows up. He gives the money and he goes home. That's what it is. All right. The federal funds are going to be used for debris removal, emergency protective measures, on and on and on and on. Look, it's, it's, it's, it's right the federal government does help people who can't help themselves in emergencies. But this is Biden's modus operandi. That's all he does is give away the money. And here we go with more money giveaways and the inflation reduction act. So it passed the Senate. Was it no Republicans voted for

it? Every Democrat voted for it. And then Kamala Harris, Vice President breaks the tie. And so Biden's spending on trying to reduce inflation, which is dishonest. He doesn't care. This bill doesn't do anything to reduce inflation. All right. And if you don't believe me, read the report from the Wharton budget model at the University of Pennsylvania. It flat out says it's not going to have any impact on inflation.

The Congressional Budget Office says that the legislation will reduce the deficit by 90 billion over 10 years. That's $9 billion a year. That's nothing. That's nothing. Okay? So if you think, if anybody thinks this is going to be reduced inflation, it's not. This is a ruse as so much of Washington is. It's to pump money into alternative energy. It's a global warming play. That's what this is. And Bernie Sanders is outraged, not because it's 433. billion. He wanted one and a half trillion. That's what Bernie wanted. Roll the tape. I want to take a moment to say a few words about the so-called inflation reduction act that we are debating this evening. And I say so-called, by the way, because according to the CBO and other

economic organizations who have studied this bill, it will in fact have a minimal impact on inflation. Now at least Sanders is honest. He's one of the few Democrats that is honest. Sanders wants the economy to collapse and socialism to take capitalism's place. So he doesn't like this because it's only $433 billion. It's not a trillion and a half, which is what Sanders wanted. Okay. So this bill is, I would not have voted for it because it's a ruse. It's not true. There's a couple of good things in the best is Medicare negotiating with the drug companies to bring the cost of prescription drugs down. That's good. I'm sorry, big pharma. Americans need lower drug costs. It's a life and death matter. So that's good. Bad, the worst part is it gives the IRS much more power

to harangue Americans and go in and try to hurt you. There's a lot of money going to the IRS to hire more agents to audit people. Now, they're going to be auditing a guy making 50, 60 grand. They're not going to be doing it. It's the small business people in the middle, you know, from about 100 to 400,000. They're going to be targeted. I'm targeted because I make a lot of money. So I know, you know, the target is on my back. That's why I have to pay all these lawyers and accountants to protect me. But I'm honest. My mantra to my people is pay it. Not worth it.

All right, let's go to crime. So there's a recall effort in L.A. County, the nation's largest county, to get rid of the DA there, George Gascone. He is a George Soros disciple. Very simply, Gascone does not enforce the law. He took office on December 7, 2020. since he's been in office, homicides are up in L.A. County, 94% over 2019. Shooting's up 54%. It's obvious. Obvious. Okay, Gus Gan, either doesn't know what he's doing or is simply not doing what he is sworn to do. Enforced the law. It's one of the two.

So the recall looks like it's going to happen. It looks like, because it's not in stone yet, they have the signatures. Now, they have to verify them. The L.A. Times, which L.A. has local TV news, which is more tabloid-ish, and then they have the L.A. Times. That's it. All right. Orange County registers much more. LA Times is appalled, not by Gascon and the rise in crime, violent crime. No. that there would be even a recall effort. Here's to quote editorial.

The notion that a DA can make crime rise or fall over a period of time is absurd, unquote. Well, here's what's absurd that the LA Times, which reports on the violent crime every day, doesn't think it's significant under Gascone. They want to keep them. Joining us now is a guy who follows this closely. Michael Levine is a PR Maven and author, of the book. Broken windows, broken business, the revolutionary broken windows theory of the smallest remedies reap the biggest rewards. Okay, so tell the people, Michael, who don't live in

Los Angeles, who don't know the LA Times, how crazy left this newspaper is. Well, a bill, you have hit it on the head. Day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out. The Los Angeles Times takes a position on every single matter that would not be considered liberal or even very liberal. It is considered far, far to the left. The woke left, I guess, is what common parlance has it written as. Now, I know the LA Times has nowhere near the power. influence it once did when it was bought recently by a billionaire doctor, there was a great deal of hope that maybe the times would restore to its former glory days, but it has not. It has followed a path, and it is so predictable that I'm afraid it's become largely for many irrelevant. I have a friend, a female friend in Los Angeles, an attorney, an African-American woman

who has two Bernie Sanders stickers on her car. That'll tell you a little bit about her credential. And even she said George Gascon has a bridge too far. Okay. So 700,000 Angelenos in the nation's largest county have signed a recall petition to get rid of him. If it goes on the ballot, the L.A. Times will oppose. I don't know about local news. I don't even know if they cover this stuff anymore.

They cover the grizzly crimes, but I don't know if there's any editorial point of view. Do you believe that the people in L.A. County would throw him out, like the people of San Francisco throughout Bowden? Listen, prophecy is dubious business, but it would appear from what I'm seeing in Los Angeles, whether I'm talking to Democrats, I have many Democratic friends, I have some Republican friends, I have some nonpartisan friends, and I have some friends who frankly don't give a damn about anything other than whether the Dodgers were. And universally what I'm hearing is this cannot continue. And so I would say, though I'm not a betting man, that he likes Hampton.

Francisco. Yeah. Okay. I don't know yet. I'll have to analyze. There is a rage and a disgust, not only about crime, in areas in which traditionally had not been as decayed. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. But unlike San Francisco where that city is small and compact, you can see it every day. L.A. County is spread out. all over the place. And it's primarily working class people. I mean, Hollywood Enclave is just that, a small area, which gets all the headlines. Most people in L.A., they just work for living. They got to put up with the terrible traffic, with the pollution, with the woke stuff. And here's another thing. The L.A. City Council, again, far left, they want to pass a law

that would require all L.A. hotels to accept homeless vouchers. You could not turn down anybody to stay in your hotel, even if the person were deranged. Okay? This is what the next thing is in the L.A. Board of Supervisors is this is what they're putting forth. I mean, this is just madness. So you ruin your business because the law would force you to accept people who were dangerous, right? That's right. What that would mean, what you just explained to your audience bill, is that if you

owned the Bel Air Hotel, a beautiful hotel in Los Angeles, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you would be forced to call City Hall and reveal to City Hall how many remaining rooms you had that evening. If you had any remaining rooms, you would be forced to take homeless people into your hotel being paid for by a reduced vouchers. Yeah, but there's taxpayers. The tax members, the tax payment is right. It's staggering. Right. Now, one thing I did want to mention to you, Bill, and this is something I think you've mentioned in the past, I've noticed a difference. You know, I'm a media expert, and I observe media trends for a living, and hopefully do it assiduously. I have no horse in the race.

I'm just trying to see what's true. And the difference that I've noticed rather profoundly is that conservatives generally regard liberals as either foolish or naive. Liberals generally regard conservatives as evil and selfish. Now, that's a rather significant difference. And no one on the right that I'm aware of is calling for the death of AOC or Nancy Pelosi. But I see prominent Democrats repeatedly calling for brutal death of numerous Republicans. Now, that's a rather profound difference.

And if you tell people they're wrong, and here's why they're wrong, they may. or may not listen. But if you tell them they're evil, that they're unredeemable, they're probably not going to respond too well. And that is, I think, causing some of the dissension in our country. Well, no doubt. And that goes into the culture war. But the rise of hatred on the right is palpable. It is, Michael. All right, thank you very much for the analysis out there. You're our L.A. guy. And I hope we check back with you soon. All right, let's go to New York where there was an outrageous thing at 5 o'clock Mass on Saturday night in St. Patrick's old cathedral in Lower Manhattan. So a bunch of pro-abortion protesters during mass camped out in front of the church. Roll it.

Well, this gets into an area of denial of violence. worship if any Catholic trying to get into that five o'clock mass was confronted. Now, I don't know whether anyone was. No arrest as usual. It wouldn't do that even if somebody spit at you. Cops wouldn't arrest them. Remember the graffiti on St. Patrick's Cathedral? I took a spray paint can and obscenities on the big cathedral. And they got them on tape. They had them. There were four of them. Had them on tape, nothing. Wouldn't prosecute. So, but if somebody was trying to get to mass,

then these pro-abortion loons impeded that. That's a federal offense. But I don't know whether it happened, but we're following it. 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 metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the best, Business Bureau. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5-76-55-76 or text bill to 99-88-99. Again, that's 866-3-2-6-5-7576 or text bill to 998899. All right, Donald Trump is down in Dallas at CPAC on Saturday. He gave a long speech. speech. They love him down there. They had a straw poll. He won. Whatever. On the hard right,

Donald Trump is still the dominant guy. Now, in his speech, which I listen to, because that's my job, and Mr. Trump is certainly a competitive person for the next presidential election. He is. okay so he hit three themes public safety the rise in violent crime and he wants a federal law that could give capital punishment to heavyweight drug dealers okay they do that in Singapore and other countries China two was to shut down a border the way he did while he was president all right and three excuse me was a cultural issue that he wants a federal law, you cannot indoctrinate children in school in certain matters. Those are the three themes on Saturday. Another tough weekend for the collapsing

American airline industry. So flights, according to flight aware, which tracks it, 1500 were canceled Friday to Sunday. Fifteen hundred flights. Cancelled. Not late. Cancelled. Why? There were thunderstorms.

Thunderstorms in his country, not flying. They don't have to be over your city. They could be 100 miles away, not doing it. Okay? And the delayed flights for outreges as well. JetBlue, of course, the worst. 50% half. of their flights were delayed.

Oh, Transportation Secretary Pete Judi Buttigieg didn't have any comment over the weekend. Of course not. Why would he? Why would he? But he is going to put forth something, some time, maybe, could happen, a proposal on it, make it easier for customers to get refunds for certain things the airlines do. But we're not sure. He might. This guy, he wants to run for president. Pete Buttigieg.

Transportation Secretary. It's the only job. The only thing he has to do. What does he do? Ethical. Racism and the heat is an interesting story. So New York City's Department of Health says that because it's so hot, we're in a heat wave here in New York. that black people are twice as likely to die from heat stroke as white people.

And therefore, it's racist. The heat is racist. About 370 people in New York City die every year from the heat, heat stroke. And the reason is because people don't have air condition. They're poor. But it's not about skin color, it's about poverty. they're poor. Now, how poor do you have to be not to have an air conditioner in your house? When I was growing up in Levittown, same turf. We didn't have air conditioning. We didn't have it. Not because we were poor. We were frugal. And my father said, ah, he can suffer for a couple of weeks.

So we didn't have it. The classic line my father had, and I had this in a bowl fresh piece of humanity. I went to, Dad, I think I was about 13 to 14. It said, Dad, and I had to sleep. upstairs the hottest room. Can you can you buy an air conditioning? He goes, hey, you got a fan up there. And I said to my father, well the fan just blows hot air. And my father said, then don't turn it on. It was it. So I bought my parents an air conditioner and we only had one room that was air conditioned. And it was enough though when it was really hot. Everybody went in a room. So here, I mean, if you can't buy an air conditioner, that's hard to believe to put in one room to cool things down. But some people don't have it.

Not racism, it's poverty. Smart Life segment. Now, this segment, we do both on television and, of course, those listening on the radio hear it. And we do it every day on Bill O'Reilly.com on the site. It gives you tips to save money and other things. Smart life. Live a smart life. Okay. So an outfit called the Global Livability Index is out with its 10 best places to live on this earth. So maybe if you're real smart, you go to one of those places, right? I don't know. So this survey was conducted on culture, health care, education, infrastructure.

That means stuff works, all right? Roads are paved, trains come in, and entertainment diversions. Here are the top 10 places to live in the world. Number one, Vienna, Austria, I've been there, beautiful town. kind of boring. Would I live there? No. Number two, Copenhagen, Denmark. Okay town, very cold, not much going on. Would I live there? No. Three Zurich, Switzerland, very pretty town. Uh, boring. Boring. For Calgary, Canada, if you like the outdoors and can, handle the cold, and it is gold. This is a nice place to live. Easy living there. Vancouver, Canada,

the city is rife with drug addition and crime. Beautiful setting, outside Vancouver, stunning, but would I live there? No way. It's woke. Geneva, Switzerland, one of my favorite cities in the world, absolutely beautiful. Everything works. A little boring. But French, food is good. I live there. Frankfurt, Germany, no way. No way would I live in that town. Don't like it. Never liked it. Toronto, Canada, ah. You want to be taxed up to your eyebrows and have Justin Trudeau telling you what to do. Would I live in Toronto? No. Amsterdam, too cold, woke, pot everywhere, everywhere you go. No way. Osaka, Japan. And okay town, but Kyoto is a thousand times better.

Melbourne, Australia, okay town, but Sydney is better. All right. Next, tomorrow in the Smart Life segment, we will have the worst places on Erie. This day in history, August 8th, 1974. Richard M. Nixon resigns the presidency because of Watergate. all right, he's out of there. And there's his speech, and he deserved it. So two months prior, 44% of the American public thought Nixon should be removed from office, 41% said no. There's almost a tie. In this two-month span, when all these revelations came out about Nixon's

stonewalling Watergate, he was on tape, he did all kinds of things. His approval rating was 24%, 12 points lower than Joe Biden in the Quineby Act poll. So Nixon was, he couldn't govern. And the Democratic Judiciary Committee in the Senate had drawn up impeachment, obstruction of justice, abuse of power, contemplative Congress, and Nixon would have been impeached and convicted. He knew it. And so he resigned.

Okay, that happened again, 48 years ago, today. I was at Boston you when that happened. And it was a huge story. I mean, it was amazing story. Okay, right back with the mail. And then a final thought that I think you will like. 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.

President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before. And we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the, topics the mainstream media won't. 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 Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture,

and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts,

Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, let's go to the mail. Right away, we got Jeff Stamper, Thousand Oaks, California. Hey, Bill, my wife and I watch nightly. As you discussed the problems facing our country. And yet, when any bill comes up for vote, Democrats vote in lockstep with the party line. There are no Democrats willing to voice an opinion on common sense solutions. Well,

Mansion and Cinema are the two in the Senate. If you vote against the Democratic hierarchy, that is Pelosi in the House and Schumer in the Senate, you will not get campaign funds to run again. Republicans do it too, but not to the extent that your Democrats do. Kevin Manning, Sacramento, California. The 2022 midterm elections are 95 days away. Republicans have a three-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress, according to Erasmus and poll. My impression the gap is much larger.

You know, the polls won't matter until September. That's why I'm not giving you daily polling. California is a big skewer of this. nation's largest state, overwhelmingly Democrat, remains so. So when you see that poll, if you take California out of it, Republicans are way up. Put it in. Republicans come down. Al, on the message board, you're right, O'Reilly. Hold on the stocks you've had for a while. I'm down 20% since Biden took office, but won't sell. Take the laws for one good reason that Calvary is coming in November 2024. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that would be the reason to hold. I

I think the American economy is vibrant in the sense that people are working and people have cut back spending, but it's worth hanging on, in my opinion. William, Bill DeSantis will not run as Trump's VP. DeSantis is an alpha dog. He's not going to play second fiddle. You might know him better than I do. Christine Vagano, Stratford, Connecticut. Hey, Bill, if Ron DeSantis runs as Vice President on a Trump ticket, he would have to move

out of Florida, wouldn't he also have to resign the governorship of Florida? Yes, he would. He would. So Florida changes laws all the time, but right now, if DeSantis ran for vice president, his lieutenant governor would take over his governor, and if DeSantis loses, he can't come back. He could run again in eight years. So say he resigns in 2022, he could run in 2030, according to Florida law. But here's a kicker on that. Florida could change its law and very well might if the same size to run for vice president or president. Cecil, a grabber, Denver, Colorado. If white DAs are releasing black perpetrators without consequences, isn't that racism? And what do you call black DAs, such as Kim Fox in Chicago, we do exactly the same thing? It's all racist. It's all racist.

If you stand by and do nothing while black citizens are murdered and brutalized, you're racist. And Cox, New Jersey, last night on the no-spin news, you talked about having access to some brilliant people. I'm curious to see the top three things you have learned from these individuals. Look, I gave you a list of people that I, and it was off the Vin's Scully death, you know, I was lucky enough to talk and meet with Mr. Sculli at Dodger Stadium a few years ago. What I want from them is their view of life and success, right? What they did to make themselves the best or in that category. And that's what I talked to them about. They're all different. There's not one uniform thing. If there were one thing, and they didn't mention this, but it would be hard work. They worked all of them,

really hard. But they all have different vantage points. And I take from that. Richard M. Key is Syracuse, New York. How is Holly, the Terrodog, dealing with all this heat? The Terry Dog is very adaptable. Let's see her. She, yep, there she is. She's riding out the heat wave in the Northeast in an air-conditioned room.

Corgi's nap about, or sleep, about 16 hours a day, maybe 17. So they're not real climatized. Now, Corgi's our sheep herders in Wales. That's where they come from. She's out in this heat. He's got two coats. She'd feel it, but you're doing this fine. Thomas Green, Lake Placid, New York. Bill, thank you for everything. You're welcome, Thomas. You're welcome. Okay, Killing the Killers on Amazon, 90% favorable. I think that's the highest of any of our books ever. So people who read Killing the Killers are liking it very much. And if you have to, not gotten it. This is a tremendous summer read for you. And right on the heels is killing the legends, which will be out on September 27th. And this book is going to be the talk of the country. All kinds of unbelievable stuff about these three guys. And if you become a premium or concierge member, you get either or of those books free. Or you re-up. Okay. Word of the day, do not be a nini hammer. I've used that word before, but I

like it. Nini, we all know, but Nini Hammer. The Hammer adds or something about. Okay, back with the final thought, conspiracy theories. 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. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.

You don't want to miss an episode. So here is a final thought of the day. I get tons of mail on conspiracy. theories. It's in industry. So you go on the internet, they have this big headline, you go in and they weave this conspiracy. People made millions of dollars off the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories. That's why I wrote killing Kennedy and knock all that out. Okay, I'm going to read you five letters to give you an example. First one, John in Arizona. I said many years ago our water supply is the least protected system we have. Now it's like someone is putting polio virus in New York

City water. No, they're not. All right. What happened was a few people, very few, got polio, and in their area, bacteria seeped out from them. But nobody's putting any virus. That would be impossible. Second one, Sterling in California, Bill, just a crazy thought. Do you think Biden's handles are falsely stating his COVID to keep him secluded for the public? I do not. That would be impossible. You can't do that at that level. Third, Bob, Pasadena, California. There's a conspiratorial video circulating

discusses a scenario where the vice president has encouraged to resign, benefiting our big time as replaced by Gavin Newsom. Biden then resigns here to health reason and Newsom is elevated to presidency without one boat being cast. Insane. That's all I could say.

But people believe it. James, Georgia. Bill, I keep hearing, there is a bill to cut 300 billion from Medicare. No, there is no such bill. All right, it would never happen. Tom, Yorktown, Virginia. Bill not usually a conspiracy theorist, but after the arrest of the individual who said he wanted to kill one of the justices of the Supreme Court, I think there may be a loon or two who may try to kill a justice in order for President Biden, who appointed a liberal justice, your thought. Look, I don't speculate on that.

Why would I speculate on violence and, you know, our Supreme Court justices are now very well protected by the U.S. Marshals? Okay, I'm not going to speculate about anybody could do anything at any time. But the important thing is, it is a total waste of your time to buy into conspiracy theories. If you see solid evidence that there's polio being poured into the New York City water supply, send it to me, right? But if you see no evidence, just BS, and that's all this industry is, this conspiracy industry, all BS. And news commentators do it all the time. They do it all the time. I'm proud to say my entire career, I've never done it. Not once. I debunk them.

If I see a situation that I believe is real, I'll get to the bottom of it with facts. Not, well, maybe this could, well, I saw on this network, this person said, no. All right. So I'm looking out for you. That's not a conspiracy. Don't waste your time. All right. I can't ever remember a conspiracy in this country.

That's worked. It's just way too much. All this anonymous source, garbage, this is all conspiracy stuff. How did Russian collusion work out? Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spend News. We'll see you tomorrow.
