Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Wednesday, September 1st, 2021, stand up for your country. So now the investigations begin about Afghanistan. Four committees in Congress, two Senate, two House, will now look at into exactly what happened. And that will come pretty fast. So we're going to lay this all out for you because it's going to be very controversial. So we'll begin, as we always do, with President Biden's schedule. Put it on up there. At 2 o'clock, he met with the President of

Ukraine. Putin's causing a lot of trouble in Ukraine. So that wasn't a useless meeting. And then at 4.30, he did something that, you know, nobody knows what that is. And very light schedule. as usual for Mr. Biden. Now, reaction to his speech yesterday. So, as you know, we had Senator Joseph Lieberman on the broadcast, and I thought the senator was very honest, and he said, you know, Joe Biden is not the man that he used to be, and Lieberman knows him very well. I thought that was the most important part of the interview. Lieberman obviously disagrees with the Biden administration in almost every aspect of the Afghan situation. But the liberal press is trying to get away from it, as I told you.

Exception is the Washington Post, a couple of days ago, put it on up on a screen. They editorialized, editorialized, as security worsened in the wake of the horrific terrorist attack at the airport last Thursday, and as U.S. troops prepared for their own departure on Monday, time and space ran out for these people. This is a moral disaster. He's talking about the people left behind in Afghanistan. One attributable not to actions of military and diplomatic personnel in Kabul who have been a courageous and professional in the face of deadly dangers, but to mistake strategic and tactical by Mr. Biden and his administration, unquote, from the editorial. Now, that is absolutely true. But you might have

must think back about the Washington Post's coverage of the presidential race last year. The same editorial board said this, quote, the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, is exceptionally well qualified by character and experience to meet the daunting challenges that the nation will face over the coming four years. So you could make a case of Washington Post and other liberal media are responsible for this moral disaster, partially responsible, right? And then there's the TV media. I'm only going to run one sound by because you know it.

You know what's happening there. This is from CNN. Go. You're hearing a lot of Republicans who are outraged over President Biden's handling of the exit, especially in the so-called Freedom Caucus. yet they support the former guy, the one who sent all of this in motion in the first place. The hypocrisy is off the charts, and it is sickening. Okay, so Donald Trump had nothing to do with the evacuation of Afghanistan.

Yeah, he made a deal with the Taliban, but it was a different deal than Biden had. But that guy, I mean, he said, oh, no, no, Trump did all this. It was Trump's fault. Now, we've heard that time and it's time again over the last two weeks. But I just want to tell you, that was last night. This is the mantra, okay? There's nothing to do with Trump. This evacuation was totally the Biden administration, 100%.

Now, it was very interesting in New York Times, even more militant and more pro-Biden than the Washington Post. And it's a word in the last two weeks, not a word. No editorial, no anything. Silence. Now, why? Why is that? Because the New York Times knows that 85% of its readership loves Biden, voted for Biden. So this is a money play. It's the same thing that cable TV is into. We make our money from the right. So we're going to say stuff that the right wants to hear. Same thing correspondingly on the left. But a newspaper? The nation's quote unquote, most prestigious newspaper, doesn't say a word on its editorial page about the Afghan

disaster? The corruption has now reached such a level. It's unprecedented in this country. I'll Bernie Goldberg on Amar to talk about it. Now, a lot of stuff coming out of Afghanistan isn't true. And I was on a radio with Sean Hannity today, and we discussed that a little bit, that some things reported in the conservative media are false. And it's my job to correct a record as best I can for you. Let's start with the guy dangling from the helicopter. Put that picture up there. Okay, so this came out on Monday, August 30th, and it looks like a guy was hung and carried around by the Taliban. And that indeed was reported on a number of news agencies and Ted Cruz, the senator. He said it as well in a tweet. Now, it's not true. So the guy on the helicopter, and we don't

know the circumstances surrounding it, but he had a harness on, he wasn't hanging, and CNN reports that he was waving, moving freely. Now, CNN is not reliable, not a reliable source of information, but we don't know what that was all about. It to say the Taliban did it to hang the guy, You can't do that unless you know, and we don't know. Then there are the 90 retired generals who called on Chief of Staff Millie to resign following disasters, Afghan withdrawal. Okay, so 90 generals get together and they say, look, Millie's got to go. They're called the flag officers for America. Now, Millie should go.

I mean, he's a woke guy and he's got no credibility. and nobody trusts him and he's done. He should resign with honor. But he might, maybe. But this crew is political. This flag officers for America, in May they signed a letter basically saying that the election wasn't legitimate. Now, there's nothing wrong with generals saying that they, in their opinion, the election wasn't legitimate. But when you report what they say subsequently, you have to put the group into context.

It is an anti-Biden group. That's all you have to say. You can report what they do, but you have to say who they are. And again, the media doesn't do it. Finally, the dog situation. Now, you know, I have Holly the Terror dog, and I support a lot of charities. that help abused animals, you know, I give my money to them. So the initial report was American military dogs

were left behind in Afghanistan, and everybody won't watch. That's not true. All of, according to Pentagon, all of the military dogs are out. The dogs that remain are private dogs, and there is a woman, Charlotte Maxwell Jones, and she's still in Afghanistan, trying to save these dogs, and we respect Ms. Maxwell Jones immensely for trying to do this. So they are dogs of private citizens. Now, as you may know, in a Muslim culture, they hate dogs. They'll kill the dogs. And I don't know whether Biden knows that or not. He doesn't know very much, but these dogs will be killed

unless they're flown out of there. So this Kabul small, rescue unit is trying to do that. But the Pentagon's not helping them. Therein lies the story. It's not that the U.S. military abandoned the dogs. That is false. But the Pentagon won't help get these dogs out. And I'm sure they could be adopted all over the world. Why? Why not help? again we are here to give you honest information all right so once again it's the cobble small animal rescue founded by charlotte maxwell jones i believe she's still over there um he may have gotten out but she's trying to get these dogs saved and if you can help them out you should in my opinion all right so as i said the topic broadcast now we go on to the investigation

There are four bodies in the House and Senate going to do it. The Foreign Affairs Committee, the Chairman is Democrat Gregory Meeks in the House. Okay? The Armed Services Committee, the Chairman is Adam Smith in the House. The Senate Armed Services Committee, Jack Reed, is Chairman. Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Menendez of New Jersey Chairman. All four of those Chairman are, of course, Democrats because the Democrats. because the Democrats hold the power in both the Senate and the House.

Joining us now is former Republican Congress from Peter King. He served for 18 years, served our country for 18 years, and he was the House Homeland Security Committee Chair from 2011 to 2013. So in these committees, we've seen partisan displays almost every time there's something investigated. Best is Brett Kavanaugh, which was a disgraceful. expedition. Do you think that this Afghan stuff is going to be partisan with the Democrats in charge? It will be partisan, but what chairman you're talking about there are among the more normal Democrats, if I could put it that way. It's not going to be, I hope, not similar to

the Brett Kavanaugh, extravagance that went on. That was just a disgrace. Thank God it's not Adam Schiff, and he's not involved of any Thompson, the Homeland Security Committee. They'd be much more partisan. But what's important here is they, I hope the chairman themselves, he's Jack Reed also, he's a West Point graduate, he's pretty dedicated guy, that they have some leverage

here, or they have some leeway in which way the committee's going to go. It could well be that Chuck Schumer is going to control the Democratic hearings or the Senate hearings, and Nancy Pelosi, the House hearings, and they can do that with pressure, they can just sort of put their foot down

and put limitations on how long the hearings are going to go, how many witnesses can be called? And generally, the majority party calls two of the three witnesses or three of the four witnesses, depending on how many panels you have. So you can stack the investigation in a way that it can cover up what's happening. And in that case, it's really up to the Republicans to do their work. And in the time available to them with their questioning, that they really ask tough questions.

And it's not just enough to ask questions that day, like if Blinkley's out there or Secretary Austin, you know, they can filibuster and they can, you know, during a three-minute or five-minute question-and-answer session, they can run out the clock. So it's important to have research done beforehand, have sources in the Defense Department, in the State Department,

people who know what's going on in the White House and find out what Joe Biden knew, when he knew it. Did he ever approach this with an open mind? Or did he just come in and tell his people, I want us out of Afghanistan no matter what? Do you ever consider, for instance, maintaining a small base of operations out of Afghanistan? Did he ever consider extending the time? And instead, it appears as if you put pressure on the Afghans to move more quickly

and to put a more rosy picture on it that was really happening. So, a lot's going to depend on the Republicans in the minority. I think Menendez and Reid will be reasonably fair in the Senate. Greg Meeks, I know him fairly well. They're going to be under pressure. And also, Adam Smith, of the four of them, is probably. Probably the guy who would be considered most pro-military, if you will, a pro-strong national defense. But it's going to be tough.

Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine the Democrats throwing Biden under the bus trying to hurt Biden. I just can't imagine it. So even the witnesses that are going to be called, are you telling me that only the Democrats have the power to name the witnesses they want? Or do the Republicans? They can call one? Is that what you said? generally the way it's done is if there's going to be four, it depends on how many panels,

how many series of witnesses, but usually one third or one quarter of the witnesses can be called by the minority party. I think what the Democrats are you going to try to do is obfuscate and create this equivalence between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and they're also going to go back probably to George W. Bush, and they're going to try and make this just one big confusing situation.

And yeah, Joe Biden wasn't perfect, but he made the best of a bad situation. I think that's what they're going to try and say. not give an outright defense. They're going to say, but the poor guy, he made the best of a terrible situation that he was left. Now, if you lie before the committees, that's a felony, correct? Yes, it is, yeah. All right.

So, but you don't have to answer a yes or no question, even if the Republicans do research and do have facts. You can ask a question to, I don't know, Blinken or whoever is there. And Blinken doesn't really have to answer it. It's not like me interviewing you if you don't answer. I can come in and, you know, browbeat you on the air, they can't do that, right? Well, they can try, but then they're five minutes to run out. And then, you know, the time will go over to a Democrat who will try to rehabilitate Blinken. So generally, a clever witness can run out the clock.

And if he doesn't want to give an honest answer, but not necessarily give a dishonest answer, he can put out a confusing message and he can delay it, use a lot of big words, and then they say, you know, time's expired. That's bloviating. There you are. I don't know whether you saw the interview last night that we did with Senator Lieberman, but it was quite something because he's a very knowledgeable guy, a Democrat, but he knows as much about the world as anyone.

And his point of view on Afghanistan is, you know, 180 degrees opposite the presidents. But the thing that I asked him was, you know Joe Biden for decades. He served with Biden. and you were friendly with Biden, okay? Is he a diminished man? And Lieberman said, yeah. Do you see that? I mean, you don't know Biden as much because you're in the House,

but I think that this is getting to be a crisis as far as his ability to actually do the job as president. Yeah, let me say two things. First over, Joe Biden, you cannot get a more honorable, decent, or straightforward guy with no rancor or malice at all in Joe Biden. Absolutely, probably the best person I met in the whole 28 years I was down in Congress. That's number one. Are you talking about Biden or are you talking about Lieberman?

I'm sorry, Joe Lieberman. Yeah, you said Biden, so. I just saved your butt now, Congressman. So you're talking about Joseph Lieberman, not your bud. Go ahead. No, Lieberman is honest and, in fact, more honest and has more class and quality than anyone I ever met in Congress. Now, as far as Joe Biden, Joe Biden, I didn't know obviously as well as Joe Lieberman, but did, but I met him a number of times, and yeah, I always felt that even though sometimes you could say some flaky things or whatever, but he was pretty sharp. His eyes were sort of penetrating, he would look at you when he was talking, and now he has that sort of vague look at his eye, and he seems to be wandering, and no, I think, listen, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a psychologist, but I definitely think that Joe Biden has slipped.

And, you know, the level of it would have to look at. But now, he has definitely slipped. Do you have any information or opinion on who is the real power in the White House right now? I'm only going on secondhand information. I've heard Susan Rice may have much more impact than she should. And she, of course, will be very close to the Obama. So maybe you can add up, you know, two and two there and get four. Hopefully it's not two and two adds five.

But, I mean, it's, I don't think Blinken really is that. influential. So I don't know who it is. I mean, you know, Ron Kling is the chief of staff. He's, I think it's Ron Kling, Ron Kline. He's a pretty able guy. But I don't know with President Biden. Even like in Afghanistan, I mean, everything he said has been wrong from the beginning.

And listen, he could have a policy I can strongly disagree with. If he has coherent reasons for it, that's his progress of his president. I just feel he's just, you know, just running loose here. Okay, Congressman. We really appreciate it. Thank you very much for helping us out. And you can hear the Congressman on WABC radio. I interact with him there sometimes.

And very nice of you to help us out, Congressman. We'll talk again. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you. 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 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 Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold.

as I do. Please call 866, 326, 5576, or text bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326, 556-5576, or text bill to 998899. Well, let's get to COVID according to Bloomberg, and that news agency is okay, not top of the line, but it's okay. they say COVID is slowing. I predicted that would happen, but I'm not sure that the Bloomberg report is accurate. All right. So there are more vaccinations. In July, the average was about 500,000 a day, all right, vaccinations. Now it's 900,000 and 80% increase. And that's because a lot of people aren't going to be able to go to work if they're not vaccinated. So because there are more vaccinated Americans, the rate of COVID looks like it's coming down.

Seven day average of New Delhi hospital admissions fell 2% all right, last week. First dropped since June 27th. Now I hope I'm right. I hope the more Americans get vaccinated, the fewer cases we will have. I think I am right. I think I'll be able to report.

to you in a month on October 1st that it's subsided dramatically. But deaths of the last two weeks from COVID deaths up 93% over the previous two weeks. So this delta variant is vicious and it spreads very quickly. Consumer confidence falling to a six-month low, it's obvious. I mean, if you're restrained in certain areas of the country from doing business, from going out, consumer confidence will wane. Now, here's an interesting story. One of the countries that really got hammered by COVID is Ireland, okay? And I was supposed to go there in June of 2020.

And my trip was canceled. I go every two years to Ireland. Now, Ireland is opening on October 22nd across the board. Okay, pubs are opening, no mask mandate, no Vax mandate, nothing. Whole country is opening for business. And they have really suffered. There are five million Irish in the Republic, okay? They've suffered because tourism is everything there.

Now, why are they reopening? What's going on there that's different? 90% of the Irish people, of the 5 million, 90% are vaccinated. So the transmission rate, the hospitalization, the death, way, way, way down. Now, if that doesn't prove the efficiency of the vaccine, nothing does. All right, I thought you'd like to know that. I'm going to Ireland next June, 22. Looking forward to it, one of the best places on earth, even if you're not Irish.

90% Irish vaccinated Ida so in Louisiana million residents still without power Mississippi about 37,000 out without power New Orleans no power

no gas no water wow big easy death toll 6 so far so Ida is up here now in the northeast it's just raining basically up here

and these storms, you know, they've been with us since a dawn of America, all right, and storms will always be here. You know, to blame them on global warming, you know, I don't know. All right, New York City is a mess. Most of you know that and aren't going to come here, but you should know how bad it is. So the five district attorneys and one of them, Michael McMahon and Staten Island, there are five boroughs in New York City. McMahon's doing a good job. But the other four Melinda Katz, Queen, Cy Vance, Manhattan, Eric Gonzalez, Brooklyn, Darcel Clark, the Bronx. Not prosecuting anybody. Sixty-five hundred accused felons will let go. They dropped the cases. I mean, it's crazy.

I'm sorry, last year, 6,500 last year, 2020. And they say COVID, but those 6,500, a good percentage of them are violent people, and they're back out on the street. 6,500 wound prosecute. Murder up 47% shooting up 166% New York City. And the Department of Ed in New York City wants to do away with honor roles because they are, quote, detrimental to students not making the grade. Quote, the DOE wants schools to widen recognition to include contributions to the school or wider community and demonstrations of social justice and integrity. So academics, now my tuition were both on the National Honor Society, okay? And now in New York City, they want to do away with that.

Is that fair? Really? It just gets worse and worse and worse. And here's something that really, this surprised me. Wait a way do you hear this? So the University of North Carolina and Chapel Hill traditionally is a fine school. school. It is no longer. The tar heels. Okay. So at that school, they are offering a course called Global Whiteness taught by Dr. Mark Dr. Dr. Driscoll. Okay? And in the overview of the course,

this is printed, it says, quote, whiteness has emerged in the last several years as an interdisciplinary arena of academic inquiry, drawing from fields of critical race studies, cultural studies, empire studies, and international politics to focus on the historical, cultural, and political aspects of people phenotypically understood indifference as white. So we're going to, at the University of North Carolina, we're going to have a course on white people, but they're bad according to the course. Let me back that up. Fact-based broadcast.

Again, University, North Carolina, Chapel Hill. So examples of student presentation topics in the global whiteness course, how Trump is racist, black, white, hooking up at UNC, white trash, slavery in UNC, the skull, shale. shape and size of white people, the 1619 project, neo-Confederate pride for white people, and lynching in America. This is the course. Now I'm telling you, yes, you don't have to take the course. The student don't have to do that. But why would the college president allow this racist course,

to exist? What if you had a course that said Jews are bad? You'd be arrested. You'd be charged. You can't white people are people. Home schooling. Unbelievable stats. This comes from Bellwether Education Partners commissioned by the Walton Family Foundation. Nearly 2.6 million children have switched from traditional school to homeschool since the pandemic began, all right, comprised of 12% Hispanic, 9% Asian, 16% of blacks, okay? And 11, let's see, that adds up to 2837, so it would be 43% of whites. Now, some went to private school because the number of kids who have switched schools since COVID is 9 million. Don't with the private someone home.

But the homeschool again is doubled. So if you are going to homeschool your children and your grandparents have to get involved, use my history books because I've written a number of them for children. And if you're over the age of 12, you can read, killing Lincoln, killing Kennedy, killing the rising sun, killing Patton, killing England. Those books are fun to read. They'll not use them in public schools. Some

private schools do use them. And I did hear that some school districts are using my books in high school. But boy, oh boy, there's a big opportunity in history right there. Home schooling, the downside is that you want to be socialized with the urchins. Their friends mean a lot to them in the teen years. You don't have that at homeschooling unless you're in clubs like the Boy Scouts and stuff like that. And Girl Scouts always want to be equal. All right, this day in history, September 1st, 1985, the Titanic was found at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, 2.5 miles down, 400 miles east of Newfoundland, Canada.

Okay, so let's go over it, because this is a fascinating story. On April 15th, 1912, at 2.20 a.m., the Titanic hit an iceberg, an enormous iceberg. Two hours and 40 minutes later, it was underwater. Okay, 1,517 people perished out of 2,223 on board. So you can see, two-thirds of the Titanic passengers died because they didn't have enough lifeboats. And the rich people got the light boats before the poor people. 61% of the passengers who did survive were first-class passengers. Okay, now, there was a survivor, a baby, two months old, Movina Dean.

She survived. She died in 2009 at the age of 97. Is that amazing? The reason the Titanic was discovered in 1985 is because of a submersible named Argo. It was technology. So now they can send unmanned, and in some cases manned vehicles to the bottom of the ocean, 2.5 miles down. Okay.

And they found it. There was 6,000 artifacts preserved in the wreck because the water was so cold. All right. Violin, perfectly preserved. First class lunch menu. A letter written on Titanic Stationary before the ship sank. pocket watch for a coat worn by a stewardess who survived the wreck and a number of other things so that was discovered in 1985 and of course the movie titanic became the first film ever to gross

one billion dollars this day in history back with your mail and a final thought on narcissism 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 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 end. Postcast podcast, listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's get to the mail. Chris on the message board concierge member, Chris has direct access to me. We hope you check out that program. The murder of 13 Marines is an extraordinary success, says President Biden. My view is that he's passed Carter as the worst ever. That statement did snap my head back, as I told Hannity on the radio, and you can listen to that interview on bill o'Reilly.com. Anthony, Ms. Crystal, Massapequa, New York, a bill on a 20th anniversary of 9-11. Once again, our country will mourn, and the Taliban will celebrate.

How long do you think our soldiers, how long before our soldiers will return? I don't think you're going back on the ground? Bombing? Yes. Beverly Bald Zell, Portland, Oregon. I heard President Trump had two conditions that had to be met before we withdrew from Afghanistan. I heard President Biden say today there were no conditions, which is the truth. President Trump told me he made it quite clear to the Taliban leadership that if they did certain things, they would be killed.

That's why the Taliban's march began right after Biden took over. That's all I can report. Wayne, concierge member, Biden blaming Trump is pathetic. The president has literally torn his shreds every single policy Trump put in place, including the agreements with Mexico and other nations. Absolutely. He didn't have to, it wasn't locked into anything. Biden was not locked into anything.

Charlie, I saw on the no-spin news that Joe I could trust, Joe Lieberman. I know the senator is an independent, but he was a Democrat in the past. Why can't the Democratic Party put forward others in the mold of Joe Lieberman? Because the far left has seized control of the party, and the media enables that. That's your answer. George Honky, Luddington, Michigan. My understanding, though I am a mooncaf, there you go, word of the day,

is many in Afghanistan are dual citizens and are forced to choose between leaving family behind to save themselves. That is true. A lot of the Americans hold dual citizenship that are there now. Daniel Duran, Flower Mound, Texas, great coverage of the Afghan debacle. One question about the wisdom of abandoning and baghram. Isn't it so far outside Kabul that many people couldn't get there? I don't buy it.

There's a corridor that could have been secured and Kabul could have accepted many, many more flights and it would have been more difficult for the Taliban and the terrorists to get there to kill 13 Americans. Keith Simpson, Chester, Maryland, we need a national rally cry. for Biden's resignation. It's not going to happen. Come on, 50% of the people, it's not doing it. Not going to happen.

David Curry, what is your beef, O'Reilly with Mercedes-Benz? Can he give us more info? They are a leader in the cancel culture, the Mercedes Corporation. All right? They bail at the first sign of any controversy. No due process for that. And if you research Mercedes, you will find a little. linkage to the Nazi party in Germany beginning in the late 1920s.

Never would I ever do business with that. James Thule, Cottage Grove, Minnesota. I'm sending you this message, Bill, on a personal level. I was one of those people that was hesitant to get the Vax. I get the flu vaccine every year, but the COVID-vax was experimental. As the summer went along and I listened to your common sense, I did wind up getting the VACs. My parents, on the other hand, did not, and said they were never going to get it. They get some of their news and information from YouTube, and I feel propaganda is damaging them.

After listening to some of the reports on the Delta Varian, I told my wife would be a good time for her to get the shot, and she did. But during that time, both my parents have been hospitalized with COVID. My mom is now in the ICU. you. Prayers for you, James. I'm so sorry about your elderly parents. They should have gotten vaccinated. You can't force them. But I'm glad you and your wife did, and I'm glad I can contribute to that. Okay. So the Trump show, everybody's been asking me about it now because of Afghanistan. Yes, that will be one of the top topics with President Trump in the history show. There are the dates. All right. Nice seats are available, but VIP seats are sold out in all four venues.

Go to Bill O'Reilly.com. We'll put you right over to the box offices. It'll be an unforgettable experience, I guarantee it. Where do the day of, don't be a bluter, B-L-O-O-O-T-E-R. This is a Scottish word, bluter, but it's a good word. Okay, another quick break, back with a final thought. are you a narcissist? 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. coast every day. Make sure you tune in.

Nothing that we didn't know. We were prepared. What a bunch of bull. Now, a narcissist will never admit a mistake. First, attribute. If you know people in your life who will never admit mistakes, they are narcissistic. The definition is an extremely self-centered person who is an exaggerated sense

of self-importance and the disorder, it's a mental disorder, is named for the mythological figure Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. Okay. Now, is President Biden a narcissist? don't know and it would be wrong of me to call him that but i can say with certainty that his speech on afghanistan yesterday was narcissistic can you imagine saying to the world we didn't do anything wrong in evacuating afghanistan when 13 american service people are dead That is an insult to their families. That did not have to happen. If you had taken your time, if you had provided security

on a number of levels in Afghanistan, and we have gone over all of this, if you had not been impulsive, if you had thought about unintended consequences, all of those things, you would have been much better prepared to leave that country with all Americans and all the Afghans that helped this over a 20-year period. But to rush out of there in a chaotic fashion and you didn't make any mistakes, no miscalculations

at all, Mr. President? That's narcissistic. Now in your life, if you know someone who will never admit a mistake, Stay away because this ripples and if that person is close to you, has access to you and you get on their wrong side, we're going to be trouble. Now, that's the best advice I could give you. As far as Joe Biden is concerned, most Americans know he is not functioning in an effective way as president. Right now, his daily job approvals about 40%. A lot of liberals, a lot of

Democrats, a lot of people who voted for him in that other side, 60%. I think he's doing a bad job. And that's going to get worse. It's going to get worse because he's not coming back from whatever it is that has shrouded his thinking. Not coming back. Tomorrow we have Bernie Goldberg on how the media is covering all this.
