Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Monday, August 7, 2003, stand up for your country. Well, I hope you read my column that I filed yesterday on Bill O'Reilly.com about the collapse of the media in America and its ramifications for voters. who participate in our democracy. Now, the press has always wanted to be a king maker, going all the way back to John Adams v. Thomas Jefferson. And for a while there, the press, the media, did forge presidents into office, JFK, being the best example of that.

But today, it's a totally different story, as the press is. disintegrating. And the best example of this is Donald Trump, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So once again, Trump is dominating American politics this time in the criminal justice system. It's been charged with 77 felony counts. Did you know that? 77. I had to add them up this morning. All right. That's in the January 6th case in the class classified documents case and the New York City situation with a far left guy, D.A. Allen Bragg, Alvin Bragg. Next up is Georgia, and he's going to be charged with felony interference in the election there, the presidential election. So this is way out of control. I mean, you don't file

77 felony charges. You just file it down. Okay, I mean, but this is all to demonstrate what a rogue and how out of control Donald Trump allegedly was, okay? So what's interesting about this is all generated by Democrats. Every single charge. Merrick Garland is the Attorney General. He appoints a special prosecutor, prosecutor Jack Smith. Smith is a Democrat. Bragg is a Democrat.

The Fulton County, DA, and George is a Democrat. It's all the other party doing this. No, independent. investigations at all very important because in the long run it's going to go to the Supreme Court none of these investigations were independent none of them the fix was in that is not to say that Donald Trump is not guilty clearly he should have returned the documents he kept at Moralago to the National Archives when they requested that should have done it that day clearly on January 6th the important thing here is

there's no mention of him promoting insurrection remember that was a second impeachment no mention of it in Smith's indictments so he didn't promote insurrection or anything to do with the capital attack according to the special prosecutor what he allegedly did do was foment unrest in this country because he said the election was a fraud. And Smith says he can prove that Trump knew what he was saying was false. I don't believe he can prove that because I talk to Trump all the time. He has never wavered in one of my conversations with him.

He believes the election was rigged because that's what he wants to believe. Comes back to that once again. Read my message of the day. Biden's doing the same thing on the hunter front. Same exact thing. Okay. Now, moving forward, all of this stuff is going to evolve in one way or another. And federal courts are going to be involved.

the first thing is moving the venue on January 6th out of Washington, D.C., where Trump can't possibly get a fair trial. The judge is a Democrat who has made anti-Trump statements. He can't. You can't. Now, the Trump lawyers are going to file for a change of venue. If that's turned down, then it goes to the appellate federal division and on and on and on, up to the Supreme Court. If they hear it. And the same thing's going to happen in Malago, although that's a much clearer-cut case than the January 6th thing.

Now, Trump himself should be letting his lawyers litigate this, but he isn't because he can't constrain himself. Roll the tape. The prosecutor in the case, I will call it our case, is a thug. I've named him deranged Jack Smith. His record is absolutely atrocious. He does political hit jobs. He's a raging and uncontrolled Trump hater

as is his wife. Now, why is the former president doing that? All his supporters already know that or believe that. The press is just going to paint him as an outer control renegade nut. And the rest of America, if you don't know the two sides and the battle lines by now, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

So I don't know why Donald Trump is doing that. Let surrogates do that. It doesn't do you any good. A lot of that tape's going to be played in the courtroom in front of the jury. And remember, the jury are all going to have to be morons. They're all going to have to be people who have no blank and I think. idea what's happening in this country with Trump or anybody else. Okay. Now, one more thing in the memo.

As I wrote yesterday, and again, I really hope you read the columns called FYI on Bill O'Reilly.com. The press has lost credibility, it's lost power, it's lost readers, it's lost viewers. I give you the stats. There's no doubt about it there's no two sides to the story. This is why you're watching and listening to me, a totally independent news agency, because you can't trust the corporate news agencies. They will not tell you the truth. An example, CNN on Friday, three days ago, ran this clip. Go. So he had said something to the effect of, I don't want people to know we lost Mark. This isn't

embarrassing, figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don't want people to know that we lost. Okay, that woman is Cassidy Hutchinson, who has already been discredited. She hates Donald Trump. She worked in a White House for a short time. She's the one who said Trump was sitting in the back of the presidential limo and lunged at a Secret Service guy was driving the car, which is physically impossible to do. That's who that was. Yet CNN, no she's a Trump hater. This is hearsay that tape was leaked by a Democrat

on one of the House committees to CNN, yet they ran it anyway. Okay, come on, you know. So, let's just recap here. The whole country's in turmoil. America's in turmoil. We've been laughed at by our

enemies in Russia and China and Iran. We may have a presidential election feature. two guys under indictment. I mean, I don't think Joe Biden's going to make it, but Trump isn't going to resign. He'll be there. And he may very well win the Republican primary.

And that's the memo. 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.

Richard Nixon resigned the presidency. Go. I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. So he had to leave Nixon because he was going to be impeached and convicted, all right, in the Watergate Mass. He was going to be impeached and convicted there. He knew it.

And that if he didn't leave, he would have been charged with crimes because the tapes in the White House clearly demonstrated that Nixon was part of the cover-up of the Watergate affair. And if you don't know what the Watergate affair is, I'm not going to waste everybody's time going back. on it, but it was a crime. It was a campaign crime. Okay. And he didn't order it, but when he found out about it, he tried to cover it up and get money for the guys who were arrested, and

on and on. So Nixon knew he was toast. He also knew that Gerald Ford was going to be vice president because Agnew, his original vice president, he had a leave because he was convicted of bribery Agnew. So he was booted, and then Gerald

Ford became vice president. forward with the Speaker of the House. Okay, and so that's the stair step. But Nixon knew Ford was going to pardon him before any criminal charges could be brought, and it's exactly what happened. Joining us now from Philadelphia is a former lawyer for Richard Nixon, an author of a number of books,

The Secret Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President Inside the Real Watergate Conspiracy, The Real Watergate Scandal, Collusion Conspiracy, plot that brought Nixon down. All right, first of all, counselor, parallels between Nixon and Trump as it stands now. Well, I think Watergate still ranks as the greatest political scandal in our nation's history because it's over and done. We lost a president, the only president of the resigning history. He was named a co-conspirator. by a grand jury in the Watergate cover-up, obstruction of justice.

He received a presidential pardon, as you pointed out. No other president has gone through that. The Democrats pulled together a group of 100 people, the special prosecution force, 60 of whom were lawyers, and over the course of four years, they brought 100 separate legal actions, prosecutions against Nixon and his people. They convicted at least 24 members of Nixon's administration,

including his Attorney General, John Mitchell, his chief of staff, Bob Holderman, and his head of domestic affairs, who was my boss, John Ehrlichman. And their thing stood. I mean, it is without question the greatest scandal. If you stop the movie today, whether we're talking about it. Trump or Biden, nothing has been concluded. Trump hasn't been convicted. He's been indicted, but indictment is not conviction.

There's an assumption of innocence. And on the Biden side, which is kind of running parallel to all this, we're getting accusations, salacious accusations, but we have no conclusions. We have no finality. Okay, let me stop you there. No, go ahead, Bill. In the Watergate situation, I was just a young reporter, just out of Boston, you when that was going down.

It was bipartisan. Republicans joined in the movement against Richard Nixon when the evidence became so overwhelming, correct? Partially correct. They turned on Nixon. There's no question about that. Okay, let's stop it there. I don't want to get into the weeds with Nixon. This one is 100 percent Democrat-driven.

toward Trump as it stands now, correct? Yes. Okay. So that's a huge difference now. It's not that the whole country is appalled at what Donald Trump did or did not do. It's a funneled, and the press, of course, is on the side of the Democrats. So you have that, that's the cabal lined up against Trump. Again, I'm not acquitting Trump of anything.

I'm just laying out what the real picture is. So let me raise, let me raise two issues, just real quick. Nixon was a lame duck. You know, Washington is very, very hard on people who are, whose power is fading. So Nixon was never going to be able to help people again. We saw the same thing with George W. Bush. Power is fleeting, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Second thing in that era, in that Watergate era, and you're right,

You're parodying conventional wisdom about Watergate, but there was only one narrative. There was no diversity of thought. There were three networks, NBC, ABC, and CBS, and they were all headquartered within six blocks of each other in Midtown Manhattan and where the New York Times is located. What the nation got during Watergate was a single narrative, which was the New York point of view. It was said the other day, you know, if social media had existed during Watergate, Nixon wouldn't have had to resign. I don't believe that. That's another point of view.

Well, that's a subjective debate, and I don't believe it for a second. I have to tighten my earpiece here. I don't believe that for a second because you had on tape Nixon's damning activity about the cover up. But that was a big deal. I transcribe the tape. I've fought over every word in those transcriptions. I'm the one that put out the Blue Book and the volume. If you work on those tapes, it's not what you were told.

It's not what you were told. But I heard him. I heard him. Well, we could get that. We can get that. The hush money. We can get that. But again, I don't want to litigate it.

People can read your book, and people can. go back, the tapes were online. So I don't want to relitigate Watergate. That's not what I want to do here. I want to advance the story because we're living in a country now and is absolutely in political chaos because of, and you're right about the media back then.

Once the Washington Post broke the story, all the networks fell into line and all the newspapers fell into line. And Nixon had nobody defending. There was no Fox News. There's no talk radio to speak of. He had nobody who's out there alone. That's absolutely. true. And rightly or wrongly, rightly or wrongly, Nixon was driven from office or had to resign

in face of certain impeachment, 24 members of his administration. Big stuff. But I'm a fair man and always have been. And I watched the Nixon-Frost debates. And I watched Nixon. Admit that he did things he should not have done. And you watch the two. So I'm not going to apologize for that resignation. It was the right thing. But now we're- He had to resign at the time. That there had no question. But now, we're in a place where there's possible election interference here because Trump is the odds on favor to get the Republican nomination. And the press is not going to stop. They'll make up stuff. They'll do whatever they have to do.

77 indictments, counselor? 77 indictments? Yeah, you're laughing because it is absurd. It's absurd. It's absurd. I'm laughing in agreement with you. Right. It's absurd. It's an insult.

We're heading into a presidential election where both sides are going to be in deep trouble. Trump is going to be having to defend himself from all these criminal accusations, and the investigation of the Biden crime family is going to go forward. They're just allegations today. Trumps are more formalized because he's been indicted by grand juries, but the Republicans on the House are just starting to investigate the Biden situation. No, I understand, but Biden has a built-in advantage because the Attorney General of the United States is corrupt. And he's not going to bring charges against Joe Biden, unless you have videotape of Biden taking Chinese money and stuff it in his pocket.

Well, that's what makes this election, makes this election so different from the other major scandals. the other major scandals in our history, Watergate and the Monica Lewinsky stuff with Bill Clinton, the Iran-Contra stuff, George W. Bush on the fire end of the U.S. attorneys, they weren't election issues because there was no pending election. But in this election, the House of Representatives is going to, the Republicans are going to go full board against, they can't indict him. And Biden, they can't get him indicted, but they can drive him from office. Biden did it. Biden sold influence, okay? He did it. Anybody with an IQ over 50 knows he did it.

Just like anybody with an IQ over 50 knows that Trump should have sent the classified documents back to the National Archives. He did it. Okay? And that's it. That's all. You're going to have those. You're going to have those two. Wait, I got one more question.

Byron cannons. Got one more question. All right. Everybody knows Biden sold influence and helped his son and brother amass as much as $30 million. If you, and I'm talking to the audience now, if you don't know that or one of your friends or family, walk away because they don't want to know. And that's it. The end of the discussion ends. But the point now becomes, Joe Bollinger.

Biden lied about it as president. He lied about it. He said he didn't do it, that his son didn't get money from China. He said all of this stuff that was totally misleading the American people. And he said it when he was running for president as well in the debates. That's so impeachable. I can't even, there isn't anything more impeachable than that. Now, he can't be charged selling inflation. isn't a crime, but if he ever got any money, then he can be charged. Last word. But he won't be impeached because we're terrified of his vice president. I don't believe that.

I don't believe that. No, I think that they will impeach him. And if they can find money, if they can find evidence that he took money, it's over. Counsel, look. The Senate won't convict. That's possible, but the scandal will ruin the Democratic Party. Ruin it. Just like Jimmy Carter beat Ford, the same thing.

The books, I want everybody to check them out. Secret Plot to make Ted Kennedy president, The Real Watergate Scandal. The author is Jeff Shepard. Counsel, thanks very much for helping us out today. Thank you for having me on. 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 President Biden. He welcomes the Houston Astros. series, then he goes to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon tonight, and then Amari gives a speech about how great his administration is, and that global warming is going to kill everybody,

but I'm not exactly sure on how Joe's going to stop that, but I'm sure it'll cost money to spend. So that's Biden. Disney, now this is a tremendous story. So Disney, March 12, 2021. All right? Two years plus. Disney's stock price was $197 a share. Today, $86 a share. I don't know what to close that, but when it opened, $86 a share, down $11 points. Disney is the most well-known corporation in the world.

So it is imploding. And the reason is imploding is because of Ron DeSantis, because the governor of Florida attacked Disney for being insanely woke and most of the people who would consider buying Disney products going into the theme parks, going to their movies. A lot of those people, including me,

no more. That's what happened. So, this summer alone, Disney's losses on paper are $1 billion. They have three movies out. Indiana Jones. It made $356 million. That's huge. But it cost to make and market $600 million. So they're going to take a $200 million bath on Indiana Jones. Haunted Mansion bomb. Cost $150 million and it's below $50 million. It's receipts right now. Little Mermaid made a little bit of money. Cost $250 million and it's made about $350 million. 300, about 560 million worldwide. But the Disney franchise, just like Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch,

he's not going to recover from this because traditional Americans don't trust it anymore, just like the press. All right, let's get back to the media. Sports reporters are generally liberal. That shocked me when I found that out a few years ago. I go, sports are traditionally a conservative, you know, why is someone in them liberal? So the woman named Rachel Nichols, she works sports for CNN.

They have a sports division there. There's Ms. Nichols. So she's outraged that the Orlando Magic, the corporation that owns the team, has donated money to DeSantis, roll the tape. Money for NBA teams, the Orlando Magic's money that they donated to run. Don't come from a magic tree elf. It came from the work of those players on the court. And the fact that their work has been turned into a contribution for someone running for president who has come out with statements that they think directly oppose who they are as people, that is very difficult to stomach. Now, with all due respect to racial nickel, she doesn't know very much about the country.

So I'll give you three examples. Apple has donated more than a million dollars to left-wing causes. Apple. Comcast, which owns NBC, has donated more than a million dollars to left-wing causes. Nike, I can't even add it up how much money Nike is donated to left-wing causes. Now, all the employees in Apple and Comcast and Nike do the same thing that the Orlando Magic Banking basketball players do. They perform for their corporation.

Yet Rachel don't have any problem with this, you know? And then seeing it more than happy to throw her on the air, absolutely. So you probably have heard the women's soccer team lost in Australia to Sweden in a shootout, five to four. Now the Swedes will play Japan, the World Cup, quarterfinals on Friday and I say good good the women's World Cup team for America was anti-America okay so I'm not rooting for them you're rooting for them

I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican or Libertarian but love your country respect your country you know I'm not rooting for you oh good you lost smart life this is important so a study out of the heart medical school and a University of Queensland in Australia conducted all across the world 150,000 adults, 29 countries. Ready for the headline? Half of all human beings are likely to get a mental illness by the age of 75. Okay.

The most common for women, mental illnesses, depression, phobia, like they're afraid to go outside or something like that. And post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. I'm not exactly sure what the post-traumatic stress is when you're 75 and a lady, I don't know. Men, alcohol abuse, depression, and phobia. Okay, I believe this study based upon my life experience. that once a human being reaches the age of 75,

they start to get a little shaky mentally in some areas. All right? You've seen it. I saw it with my mother and my father. And my father died at 62, so I didn't even get to 75. My mother would die under 90. Paranoid, you know, frightened, because they know that their physicality is on the decline. and they're more dependent on other people, and that leads to anxiety, depression, all that.

So how can you prevent this? That's the smart life tip. And this is just coming from me. No Harvard study, none of that. As you get older, the first thing is accept it because everybody's in the same boat. I mean, I see these guys who are like 70, 75, dye in their hair, jet black. why it's not it's not no all right accept it number one you're getting older all right but you should be getting smarter more wisdom so it's a counter number two move it

okay no excuses move it just go out for a walk four out of seven days a substantial walk Move it. If you can, if you're physically infirmed, I understand, get in a pool, do some stretch it, whatever you can do. Because that stimulates, all right? As you get older, your immune system declines. And again, everybody, it's no supplement you can take.

There's nothing you can do about it. Your immune system declines so that maladies are easier to acquire because your immune system is down. Now, I gave you smart life tips before. Knock out the sugar as much as you can. I got a bunch of delicious cookies over the weekend. I ate some of them because they're delicious cookies. I would never buy them, but I'm rationing it, okay?

Because sugar will weaken your immune system, will hasten that. So if you're drinking all the soda and ice teas and energy drinks, look at the label. 50 milligrams, 70 milligrams. You're insane to do that. And the worse you feel physically, the more phobia is, the more mental disorders you're going to have. If you're feeling good, if you're feeling energetic, if you can do a lot of things you ordinarily would do when you were younger, you're less inclined to get depressed.

And finally, the drinking and the intoxicants. I mean, that's why this pot is so bad, so bad. All right, because the number one, it affects your brain. Number two, it affects your immune system. What are you doing? All right, glass of wine here and there, glass of beer, moderation, okay. All right? but that is not going to help you the intoxication stuff.

Anyway, I know I sound like Elmer Gantry here. Look them up, but I want the best for you, smart life. This day in history, August 7, 2005, ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings died at age 67. He was a titan in television news, born in, Toronto, Canada, 1938. His father was a Canadian broadcasting guy. And I had the privilege of working directly with Peter Jennings for two years. Roll the tape. From ABC, this is World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. Reporting tonight from Berlin. From the Berlin Wall specifically, take a look at them. They've been there since last night. They are here in the thousands.

They are here in the tens of thousands. Occasionally, they share. Dima must veck the wall must go I stood right next to him I was right next to when he did that in 1989 I was reporting for show called inside edition syndicated program I work for ABC News as a correspondent for two years Peter Jennings saved my butt okay I'm a maverick I'm a flamboyant guy I don't take a lot of garbage I never have and I never will that's death in network news today yesterday whenever guys like mike wallace howard coachell they're very rare jennings liked my style and i caddied for him because he never wanted to do the three o'clock news brief right before general hospital jennings didn't want to do it

you know we don't want to do this for i would do it three out of five days when I was in New York and not on a story, okay? And my mother and father, you know, I was like my mother, my father. But Jennings, I never really went to him and whined or anything like that, but he knew it was happening, and he protected me. And I got great assignments. I got on world news tonight more than 100 times in the two years I was there. Then I left ABC to take over at Inside Edition and go all over the world like he did.

He yelled at me. And I said, Peter, look, they're doubling my salary. I can cover any store I want in the world. You take this job. Understood. I remained friends with him up until his death. He died from lung cancer. He was a smoker.

And I just thought I would tell you that because without Peter Jennings, I would not be sitting here right now. There's no way. Okay. Okay, so I have a interesting mail segment and a final thought about me and the ocean, which I think will amuse you right back. Okay, let's get to the mail, Zeke, concierge member, please check that out. We've had a surge in concierge members on Bill O'Reilly.com. It is an insurance policy for your life. We have power here.

We can help you. Think about it. Doesn't cost much. Get free books and discounts. Why everybody doesn't do this, I wish I had this opportunity. All right, Zeke says it's obvious the goal of all these hearings about the Biden family's impeachment. My question, the findings occurred while Joe Biden was vice president

wants a justification for impeachment because he lied about it as president. Simple is that. And if he ever took bribes, that's not established. But if he ever did, it doesn't matter whether he was. as vice president or a private citizen. Bill Forrest Woodbridge of Virginia, politicians lying is now a criminal offense. As the left says,

they're going to have to get more paddy wagons rolling out of Washington, D.C. Patty wagon is a slur. But I don't mind. Patty wagon came out of New York because on the weekend, so many Irish were drunk in the streets. This is at the turn of the 20.

20th century, that they had to load them into wagons and take them to jail so he could sleep it off. The wagons were named Patty, Patrick Patty Wagons. Say that now. See, the woke people wouldn't care about Irish stuff. Georgia Luna, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. On multiple occasions, you've suggested that Michelle Obama would be a viable president as a candidate. Why, she has no political experience. Not about that. Donald Trump had no political experience. About popularity, George. Law Lee, twice week Iowa, it's time to get folks off the Trump bandwagon. He's obviously dishonest and a very divisive person. We do not need him to be our next presidential candidate.

Well, lo, I mean, you know, we, our is a primary. Republican voters want him. They're going to We'll get them. But I respect your point of view, not challenging a point of view, but it's a lot more than you. Susan Clemens Callione, Gwinnett County, Georgia. Button, Gwinnett, signed the Declaration of Independence. That's Gwinnett County. Assuming, as you said, O'Reilly, Scotus will be involved with President Trump's case, does the progressive left have enough time to pack the court.

Now, I've got to pack the court. All right, the Supreme Court has already signaled that they're not letting Congress dictate who's sitting on that bench. That's not happening. Rodney Maebe, Carthage, North Carolina. Bill of Nosebineau is the only one that brings up

the Mark Zuckerberg donation of $480 million to the 2020 election. I don't understand why other news agencies have not reported that because Biden won, and that money was, to help Biden. It's $400 million, not $480. But, you know, the left news agencies, they wanted Biden to win. And if Zuckerberg could help him, they're not going to report it. They do that. That would be honest. Lela White, Abingdon, Virginia. Mr. O'Reilly, I have a beauty salon. I'm a Christian

conservative lady. I used to be afraid to talk about my political beliefs, but now the country's going in such a bad direction, I feel it's my patriotic duty. Lila, I don't know. People come in to get their hair and come in for a pool. If they start the discussion, then okay, but I'm not sure you want to evangelize in your beauty salon. I would not. John Concierge members of former broadcaster from the time when objectivity, honesty, and

integrity were in play. I believe the news media is down to a lone voice in the wilderness. Bill O'Reilly. Well, I appreciate that, John. Let me know your concierge member. Let me know where you work. Okay, I won't tell anybody or anything like that. I'm just curious, all right?

Thank you for the kind words. All right, killing the witches coming up fast, September 26th. I have signed about more than a thousand of them, hands signed books. They're going fast. So if you want them, you've got to pre-order them now. If you pre-order killing the witches just a regular. copy, you'll get it first. You can do it, Bill O'Reilly.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble books, a million, you know, the drill.

And then we have the summer reading program rapidly the summer, but you can read these, you know, up until Christmas, right? So killing crazy heroes, killing the killers, killing the legends, all bundled with a team normal hat. 3295, best deal in the country right now. And don't forget that we're doing a live show on Friday, October 27th. Paramount Theater, Huntington, Long Island. It's a beautiful time to come to Long Island.

The leaves are changing on the north shore where Huntington is. This is sponsored by W.A.B.C. Sid Rosenberg will be with me. He's the morning man dominating New York City radio at this point. And you will never forget this show. So we hope to see you all there. Go to Ticketmaster, Bill O'Reilly.com, or whatever you want. And it's selling very fast. Where did the day not be a puzzle wit?

P-U-Z-Z-L-E-W-I-T, puzzle wit, back with a final thought in a moment. Okay, so I told you, there's a final thought of the day. The ocean out here in eastern Long Island, where I am, very turbulent this summer, okay? Not a place to fool around. In fact, you can't even body surf because the waves crash so hard down, you break your back. All right, and then nobody body surfing. So, and the current is tough, the undertow's cuff. That does not inhibit me from dunking in the water because that's what I do.

I'm an ocean guy, but I'm not riding the waves and I'm being cautious. So a couple of weeks ago, I got whacked by a wave and I was like, boom, and that was that. So yesterday I go in, and it's turbulent, but I'm very cognizant of Ernest Hemingway's book, the old man and the sea, which is a brilliant book, and it's not long, okay? And since I've always loved the sea, love the ocean, that was one of my earliest reads. So I'm not the old man in the sea.

I'm the aging man. All right, so I'm doing great. I'm bopping up and down, a water temperature's about 74. Really nice, okay? But then I have to get out. So I calculate that I can jump. jog out of there before the next big wave comes.

No. I get maybe five yards from the shore lot and bam, the thing knocks me down. And I had reef shoes on and one of my reef shoes goes flying. And then I try to spring up, but my spring is not as it was when I was a lifeguard. It takes me a little longer. and bam, I get whacked again. And now I'm like this. So a guy runs out, you know, on the beach, goes, hey, hey, hey, and I said, look, I got it, I got it.

It's so embarrassing. Big macho, man, right? And he goes, I got it, I got it, I'm fine. I get up and I walk out. And you go, it happens to all this. I go, yeah, I guess so, like one of these. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you all this is, if you're in the ocean and it's rough, Please be careful.

All right, even a seasoned guy like me has been all over the world in the ocean. I thought I could beat that wave out. No. It was a pretty interesting experience. Thank you for watching and listening to the No Spin News of Geraldo on the media tomorrow. And we hope to see you then.
