Hello, O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, October 7, 2024, stand up for your country. Very busy day for me. I flew in from London. How about that? Land around noon, East Coast time. I'm a little woozy here.

You know, it's a seven-hour flight coming back. It's a six and a half going over because of wind. And Virgin Atlantic couldn't get the plane off the ground. You know, it was almost a two-hour delay. They made some of it up. Professional airline, but it's the same old stuff. These airlines, they just, since the United States airline industry has collapsed, that's spread everywhere.

And it's, you know, you go to the airport dreading. it now, which at least I do. But anyway, I'll get specifics in the final thought in this broadcast. And when I'm over there, you know, because of YouTube, everybody knows me. And they're all asking me about the election. I go, look, I don't know. And that's the absolute honest truth. And we're going to try in the next four weeks to get some trend, at least. but boy, this is a tough one. It's too close to call. I'm sorry about the cliche

with four weeks to go, and that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So Saturday night, Donald Trump helped himself in Butler, Pennsylvania. There's no doubt about that. Huge crap. And if you read the AP and all of that,

they don't want to name the crowd. They don't want to say how many. We call the state police. State police know how many we're in. They wouldn't say, because they don't want Trump to look good. I mean, it's a scandal. And I got to put it at about $100,000, but I could be off.

I wasn't there. I did talk to people who were there, and they said, never seen a crowd like it. Trump had $100,000 in South Jersey, remember that? But this one was, but the fact that the Associated Press and all the other wire services won't report the size of the crowd. And then whenever we want a crowd side, we call the state police, no matter what state it is. give you the info. Not here, not this. Nope. And the reason is Kamala Harris can never draw a crowd like that. And I'm not saying that with any party favoritism. That's the truth. That's the truth. And the AP had a really kind of nasty things, all white. You know, would you do that?

And if we're all black AP, I don't think you would. But, you know, the subtle associated press, what they do. Okay, so Trump was very smart to do this, and I think he gained a little momentum by it. Roll the tape. I want to just let you know that tonight I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America. Our movement to make America great again stand stronger, prouder, more United, more determined and nearer to victory than ever before. We're going to make America great again. Going to win the election, going to win the election.

And to all Americans, whether you are Republican, Democrat, independent, conservative, or liberal, or you have no label whatsoever. It makes no difference. Our movement, it belongs to you. Okay. So I'm on the sideline of the... New York Jet Minnesota Vikings game. That's why I went to London to see that game. I had business there, too, and I'll tell you about it at the end, but went to the game. And the jets

are owned by Woody Johnson, the former ambassador of the court of St. James, the British ambassador, who's obviously a big Trump supported. So we're having a conversation, Ambassador Johnson and me, and he goes, this Elon Musk thing is a game changer. Don't you think? And, you know, me, I don't ever go along. I go, I don't know. I don't live in that world. I know Elon Musk reaches, what, hundreds of million people on X worldwide, but I don't know how that would translate into votes. But Ambassador Johnson was saying, this is huge. And of course, he could be right because when it comes to anything social media, I'm a moron. I'm just not in that world. I can't calibrate it. Anyway, so Musk comes out of the closet. He really never in the closet.

He was always a Trump supporter and says this. Go. As you can see, I'm not just MAGA. I'm dark MAGA. Well, first of all, I want to say what an honor it is to be here. And, you know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs, and another who was fist pumping after getting shot. Okay. So how did the pro-Karmel Harris media cover this?

My staff did a nice job on this. So on Saturday night, CBS Weekend News had a package, almost three minutes. Fair. NBC Nightly News, three and a half minutes. Fair? All right, ABC News didn't have any coverage because they didn't have a news show. It was college football. The next morning on the Sunday network shows, CBS News Sunday morning,

didn't mention it. There's something wrong on that show. I pointed that out. If you read my column yesterday, I gave him a little jab. There's something wrong there on that CBS Sunday morning thing. NBC News Sunday Today, two minutes, 30 seconds. Yeah, okay, meet the press. No. They gave it 30 seconds. All right. They had more important things to do. Good morning, America, two minutes, six seconds. Okay, I might have gone a little bit more on that. This week, 137. So they covered it. But of course, NBC News funds owns the outlet MSNBC, and they did what they always do. Go. Yeah, I'm not sure about that dark MAGA. I much prefer comedian. in Mike Drucker's interpretation, Dork Maga.

Let's just take this sin for a moment in this image of Elon Musk jumping awkwardly on stage as Trump looks on. I mean, this will be the legacy of Elon Musk, the man once seen as a tech visionary, a real life Tony Stark to some who traded in his reputation and his self-professed principles to become nothing more than a reactionary Lex Luthor in a MAGA hat. boring. Now, if you're going to do that, then you just bring in another person who said, no, Elon Musk was effective. He didn't look awkward. You balance it. You don't have to censor that guy. I mean who that guy is. I don't care. But NBC does think it has a responsibility to do that

in an election. 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.

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 it said apple podcast spotify or wherever you get your podcast and that's a memo all right schedules uh joe bide marked uh the one year uh hamas brutal attack anniversary um and then he's uh taking calls about hurricane milton which is could be a very terrible situation right after hurricane helene down in florida um comela harris 60-minute interview tonight, I will lead with that tomorrow on the no-spin news.

It's taped. It's already in. They put out a few clips weren't impressive, I have to say. Maybe they're holding a good stuff back. But I'm going to analyze that. I mean, the talking points of memo tomorrow, and we're all over it. Okay. Then she marked the one-year anniversary of the Moss Attack as well. Donald Trump did in Florida. I had some events. So it was. that and we are going to go to Jerusalem shortly on this broadcast okay now to blunt the momentum that Donald Trump had his rally because the Democrats knew that the Butler thing was going to be huge comma has agreed to go on the view the Howard Stern show and Stephen Colbert okay you know look if I'm

running for president and I had shows like that that adored me, I would go on them. Okay? I would. Wouldn't you? So I have no problem with her going on there, but she doesn't do anything worthy. We'll see if Bill Whitaker on 60 Minutes has got anything tonight. Now, he's been around for a while, Whitaker. We'll see what he's got. But that's what she's doing, that. I don't know if I'm even going to cover of that. I might. It's Cupcake interviews, though. It's just like, all right. By the way, Trump turned down a 60 Minutes appearance tonight. So I guess Cammo's getting a whole hour with walls. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if I can watch a whole hour with that,

but I'll try. On the campaign trail, Harris's crowds are much, much less than Donald Trump's, and she uses a teleprompter. And Trump does too, but Trump goes off. But Trump goes off. But Trump goes off and always gets in trouble when he does, but Kamala's teleprompter broke down on Friday in Flint, Michigan, and here's what happened. Go. Today, we got 32 days until the election. So 32 days. 32 days. Okay, we got some business to do. We got some business to do. All right, 32 days.

And we know we will do it. And this is going to be a very tight race until the very end. This is going to be a very tight race until the very end. I think she thinks it's going to be a very tight race till the very end. And if you missed it the first four times, the election was 32 days from last Friday. So what happened was, and you could see it, the teleprompter, they have two of them,

two screens where words appear. See, I don't use a teleprompter on the no-spin news. I just talk to you like a regular human being because I know my subject. I'll have to use a teleprompter. On Fox News, I did because we had to hit six breaks, computerized breaks. So here, we don't.

I put the ads at the back of the program so I can do on an interrupted analysis. But anyway, you can see in that clip that the prompter just went down and she's there, and then she said 32 days, four times, because she does not speak well extemporaneously. Now, that doesn't mean she'd be a bad president, right? That doesn't worry me that she can't speak off the cuff. What worries me is I don't think she knows very much. And I'm not saying that to be insulting either.

But I can't gauge after all this time now what she knows. I don't think she knows much. Maybe I'm wrong. All right, polls Marist, and this is NPR PBS, Maris not a reliable poll, but it's out there. 1,514 registered voters, gender male 49, female 51, Democrat 37, Republican 33. That's too big a spread. You should know that. Of course you do know it, but you're looking for an outcome. I understand. Here's a question. How concerned are you that during this year's elections there will be voter fraud? People are not eligible to vote, will vote or vote more than once. Very concerned and concerned 57, not concerned, 43. All right? In general, do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of Kamala Harris? Favorable 49, unfavorable 47. That's the highest number I've seen on her favorable, but I'm not surprised because it's an

NPR PBS poll. Unfavorable 47, as I said, Trump favorable 46 on February 52. All right, so there you go. USA Today, this is a big poll, say, went to 3,113 counties across the country. I'm taking this off the top of my head, but I believe Trump carried when he lost to Biden 75% of all counties in America. I think that's the number. It's around there somewhere. So USA Today went out, and Ginnett, which owns USA Today, they're rooting for Kamala Harris, just so you know. So 3,113 counties, 500 likely voters in each state, that's a big crew. Okay. And they basically surveyed the electoral situation, but they didn't release that yet. What they did release, it's 73% of all the counties, more than 3,000, have become more

partisan from 2012 to 20. I think we knew that, but that's what USA has spent its money for. the rest of them is pretty much same all right let's bring in uh donald trump's pollster a guy named john mclaughlin you've seen him before in the no spin news straight shooter CEO and part of mclaughlin associates okay now you have uh internal polling which you trump pays you for and uh what's the latest we don't release it I know you, but I'm your pal. You're just telling me, no one else, no one's going to hear it.

But if I tell you, you'll tell President Trump and then it'll leak. I won't tell President Trump. Actually, yeah, we feel pretty good. By the way, right now we feel cautiously optimistic. And let me tell you, compared to 2016 when Hillary was at, you know, she was ahead this point, like, by five or six points. And, you know, you had polls back then that had her up seven or whatever. And then we talked about the Hillary lock. They had one, CBS on October 16th.

They had her up 11. NBC had her up seven. That was November 6 right before the election. And we ended up pulling out an electoral college victory. This is in 2016. So Trump's numbers are stronger. How about 20, though? 20 was worse.

You had the Biden blue wave, remember? And at this point, they had Biden up 51 to 42 in the national popular vote. Now, granted, it was four points. But even then, you had October 11th, you had polls, so areas up 5242. You had double-digit leads. And NBC again, had them up on Halloween, October 31st. It was 52-42. Economist, You-gov does CBS polling out.

They had them up 10 and 5343. So the national popular vote, to the extent, that's, you know, related to the electoral college. You know, you had these big weeds, and they were trying to, I think they were trying to suppress our vote. Okay. Yeah, you know my mantra is people believe what they want to believe, all right? You know that.

I made it quite clear that we live in that kind of a country now, where a lot of people, facts don't matter. I want to believe it. I'm going to believe it. So I'm of the mind because I think Trump, thinks he's ahead. Now, he didn't tell me that directly, but I'm getting that impression, not only from the former president, but from people close in his inner circle. They think they're ahead that they're going to win. Is that what you're getting? Because you work for them.

Well, we are cautiously optimistic, but we're running like underdogs. I tell you the thing that happened with the hurricanes, because you're talking about what we're afraid of is censorship. it. We lost the race in 2020 because when the story came out about the Hunter Biden laptop, they censored it. Yeah, I know. Censored. Right. So you can't censor a hurricane, John. Here it is, you know. Can't do that. But they were censoring the parts about the money from FEMA wasn't there because they've been taking care of illegal immigrants. And, you know, remember the coverage that you had during Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy, where Sandy, you know, was Obama coming in with the money and the hugs and everything like that. And you've got a

situation where Trump went into Valdesda a week ago today before Biden got to Georgia, before Biden got to North Carolina, before Kamala Harris, she was flying back after a fundraiser on the West Coast. And people were suffering. And now we've got to make sure a lot of those parts, a lot of those parts of those states are Republican areas. We've got to make sure they can vote. And then in Florida, God bless the people down there where Governor DeSantis is telling people to prepare to get out of the way, it's going to be bad.

And, you know, you're going to hit plenty of Republican areas in a Republican state. It is, but it's not an overwhelming Republican state like Mississippi or Alabama, Florida. Look, I don't think these storms as bad as they are. are going to affect people going to the polls. I just don't. In four weeks, you're going to have some stability down there.

Now, if Biden diverted money away from Hurricane Relief to another pet project, I want to see the data on that. And that'll be huge if that happens. Last question for you. You know, real clear politics keeps an average, your daily average of everything. They got today electoral college 281 to 257, Trump wins. You need 270 to win. So, and when you look at the, when you look at the latest polling on the swing states,

most of them Trump is winning by one or two. Is that what you have? That is very close. But you know what? You should also, our electoral vote total would go up if you put in Nevada or they don't have us winning Michigan or Wisconsin, and it's really close to it. Trump was there four times in the last week in Wisconsin, but they don't have Michigan and Wisconsin.

They don't have Nevada. in our column. And they do have... It's too close in those states. And Pennsylvania, too. That's not in your column, is it? Yeah, that one's in the column. That's why we're at 281. Oh, it's all right. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And, but you know what? But it's still close, but there, those early mail-in ballots from in the four states that are in the targeted battleground states, they're coming in now, but they're not coming as high as they did in 2020.

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. 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. Democrats still have an advantage, but Republicans, I think the early in-person vote's going to be high. And that means like mid-October to late October, we really have to be pushing our vote in the early-in-person voting because... One more question. Do you get data when people send in the ballots? Do both campaigns know we...

which way those ballots are leaning? Yes, from when the Secretary of States and those states make it public. So there is public. But that's only made public after election day, right? Not before. No. No, they get counts depending upon the state. Different states are really good at it and some aren't.

So they'll release early, so on this date, say, let's say October 26th in Pennsylvania, here's what the mail and ballots are showing. That's possible. You might get that data? Yes. Both campaigns have that. data right now and they're pushing people who have, say, requested absentees that we think of Trump votes to go vote.

Okay. And the same from the Democrats. They do their side. Fascinating. So both sides of the information. All right. We're going to check in with you in two weeks and then once more before election day. And we really appreciate John.

I sent John a free sign book that he can sell on eBay for a lot of money if he wants to. I'm reading your book, Dan. Can you tell me which president was court martial? Johnson, Andrew Johnson. No. Who? No. He went through an impeachment hearing.

Who? Abraham Lincoln was court marshal. In the Black Hawk War? You got it. Exactly. His troops ran. Okay. Right.

But that was a little obscure for us. He kind of overcame that. You just had to. By the way. I think he was 12. But it was, he got sentenced to carrying a wooden sword. There you go. I got sentence for that the other day. I had a carry a wooden sword around. All right, John. Thanks very much. We appreciate it.

It's a great book, because you got a lot of it. Thank you, John. A guy like you knows everything about politics, if you really liked it, that's a nice compliment. I appreciate it. All right, here in the United States, there were protests today, but they're all anti-Israel. They say pro-Palestinian, but that's not what they are. Okay? They're anti-Israel. Because Israel has taken it to Hamas and Hezbollah, and there's terror agencies, control the population.

Unfortunately, innocent people get killed. All right. But if you look back about our history, Sherman's March to the Sea, look it up in the Civil War, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Tokyo. I mean, you know, bad guys have to be rooted out, and sometimes that happens. I'm not justifying anything. I'm just telling you with the historical record. So in Boston, Massachusetts, they shut down storage drive, which is one of the main highways.

D.C., some guys sent himself on fire. In London, where I was, when I went to the jet game, there was a big demonstration. But I have to say the Metropolitan Police in England did a very good job containing. And they're all socialist and communists because they had the signs, you know, they were all not only anti-Israel, but very, very, very far left. So join us now is a guy who I talk with frequently on WABC radio.

That is our flagship radio outfit here on Bill O'Reilly.com, and then it's been news. Sid Rosenberg is a legend, number one by far, in New York, dominates in the morning, morning. That's a mystery. I have no idea how that happened. But he does and he's doing great. He is in Jerusalem tonight, been there for a few days, going to stay till next Sunday. So I'm glad you're safe. I didn't know they had a tanning salon in Jerusalem, but I see that you have used it. But what, if you can tell my audience, you're there, you're walking around. What do you see? Is it really tense? Yes. One word answer. It is really tense. Now, I am in Jerusalem.

Tonight, our hotel room is in Jerusalem, and tomorrow, Bill, we'll be doing the show live from Jerusalem. But today, on October the 7th, we decided to try to get to Gaza as close as we can to where all the devastation happened a year ago today. And we got there. We did our show from a radio station in a little town called Steyrot, which is about 15 minutes at the most, walking from the Gaza border. It is right there, Bill. In fact, all the way down there, we passed the site of the Nobel Music Festival. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of people gathering there, family members of the kids that were killed a year ago. We passed by all the other kibbutzim. Today, Roe, for example, Bill, they burned down the police station. They killed all 70 cops inside that neighborhood. So that Kibu team was devastated and that's where we

were today. But to give you a sense of the question was intense. Before the show started this morning, it's about 20 people in this little building 10 men, 10 women that were helping us get ready for the show. It was strangers, but lovely people. And we heard a series of booms very

loud. I can tell you my body shook and I'm not a slim guy. Then we heard sirens and then some young girl literally ran, grabbed my arm said, seed, see, see, let's go. She literally dragged me into a bomb shelter where we spent the next three minutes, ten men and ten women nestled against each other while the bomb threat went away. And I have to tell you, to start the day like that is a bit unnerving. And these people go through that in that area, sometimes as many as 20 times a day. So in one day, I've been down to

Gaza. I've seen all the spots that were affected a year ago. And I've been in a bomb shelter after The five bombs were detonated overhead. Whenever you're in a war zone, I've been in a number of them, there's a feeling that pervades. In Israel, Netanyahu, obviously, is the leader of the country. But not all Israelis are on board with him. Is that kind of internal dissent visible? Oh, it is.

It's, you know, we talk about Trump Darrangement Syndrome, Bill, back in the state, And by the way, I have to commend President Trump. He called into my show today. I think it's a big deal on October the 7th. Yeah, that was nice. That was nice of them. Yes, and he actually spent 28 minutes. They want them to do 15.

He spent 28. But Trump derangement syndrome is here and alive in the United States. Phoebe arrangement syndrome, they call it here in Israel. And Bill, they will get hundreds, sometimes thousands of people gathering in the square in Tel Aviv like they wouldn't time square. A lot of those folks are hostage families. families that will never forgive BB for, A, what happened, then B, not saving their loved ones. So it is a crowd that is a bit split,

but I will tell you this, talking to a lot of people who cover politics here in Israel every day, not as well, I'm here. If there was an election tomorrow, the thought is that for the fifth time in six elections, Bibi would win and would win relatively easily. So with all the negative things we see and hear about Trump in the United States, and BB here in Israel, it looks like the fact is both of those guys would win some coming up

in less than a month and BB coming up next year. Is there any anger directed toward the Biden administration for its, you know, they try to float above it. You know, they, to their credit, they're giving Israel weapons and money, but they're not behind Israel. You know what I'm talking about. Is there any anger directed from the Israeli citizens to the Biden-Harris administration? You're all amazing questions.

To be completely honest, I'm not being, I'm not patronizing you. It's a lot like the United States bill. Look, I'm very angry with the Biden-Harris administration. I'm a Republican Jew from New York. It's the same thing here. When he taught to the liberal Democrat Jews, they're going to vote for, if they were here, they would vote for Kamala Harris. and they still consider Biden and Harris

a decent administration and pro-Israel. If you talk to the conservative Israelis here, they hate those people. I do believe, though, that over the past couple of months, Bill, that there have been Jewish people that would have told you a year ago they liked Biden and Harris and have now completely seen their mind.

They have. Everybody that I speak to here basically blamed Biden and Harris for what has happened here. Why? Because Iran is is the threat. It is all about Iran, whether it's Hamas down in the south, Hamas and Hezbollah, in Judea and Samaria, you call that the West Bank, and Hamas up north by Lebanon, not Hamas, Hezbollah. These are all Iranian proxies.

So right now, it's not really Hamas, it's Iran that is attacking Israel in three different fronts on a daily basis. And they know, like we know, that the Biden-Harris administration gave them money, looted all the restrictions and protection. Donald Trump put place. So the answer is yes, they're angry and they do blame the Biden-Harris administration as they should. And those sanctions that the Biden-Harris administration lessened, that was a terrible geopolitical, unforced error. And every time that Harris has asked about it, she doesn't answer. She tells you she was raised in a middle-class family. That's what you get. All right, Sid, now, stay safe. I know you're a macho man and all that, but stay safe.

We have your back with the Mets. Jets is a little tough. We had them with the Mets and the Yanks. And I look forward to you coming back in one piece, all right? I appreciate that. And don't kid yourself, Bill. I check my phone. I'm seven hours ahead here in Israel.

So, for example, the Cowboy Steelers game last night. Didn't end here until this morning. But I'm on the phone at 3 o'clock in the morning checking my Mets scores. And I know the Giants beat the Seahawks yesterday. So I may be 6,000 miles away, Bill O'Reilly, but I know what's going out of my sports team back home. All right, Sid Rosenberg. I'll talk to you on Thursday on your program in the morning. See you, Sid.

Stay safe, please. All right, smart life. The American dream, according to Investopedia, Investopedia, if you want to live an affluent life, that means fulfill your financial obligations. It'll take you $4.4 million. That's this study. And here are the areas, buying a home, buying two cars, a wedding for your son or daughter, raising two children, providing them with a college education, which is the responsibility of parents, I believe, taking a vacation every year, owning a pet, and then your own retirement. So in order to do all that, you need $4.4 million.

Now, how do you get that? You've got to start early. I told I've gone over this with you. My father, the best advice he ever gave me was save 10% of take-home pay. No matter what, every week, 10%. And I did. And it grew and it grew and conservative investments. Okay, grew, grew, grew, grew, grew, grew, grew.

Boy, that was the smartest thing I ever did. So teach your children well, as Crosby's Sills and Nash one saying, got to do that if you want to have the American dream. 4.4 is what you need, and that's going to go up. You know that. Florida preparing for Hurricane Milton, not going to speculate, not going to be, as the rest of the media is hysterical. The media wants to jack up every storm.

Helene was just ridiculous. And now we got Milton right behind it. We are on it. We are watching it. We are not going to exploit it. But we are watching it. My Pillow, Mike Lindell, one of our sponsors, they have donated 14,000, my pillows.

Because a lot of people just lost their homes and lost it they have. So Lindell and his crew are 14,000 pillows are down there. And I bet you he does more. And we want to be associated with those kinds of people, by the way. Say, in history, October 7, 1849, poet Edgar Allan Poe dies in Baltimore, Maryland at the age of 40. Now, most writers and poets, when they die, it's over. Poe became more famous. So he's born in Massachusetts in Boston. He flunked out of West Point. He married his cousin, who was 13 years old. Now, this is a weird guy, okay? In 1845, he published The Raven,

Big hit. So he's 36 years old, and he becomes one of the most successful literary persons in the United States, off the Raven. Then he writes, Telltale Heart, Fall of the House of Usher, Mask of the Red Death, Black Cat, on and on and on, now he's Mr. Halloween. Okay? And a lot of his properties have been turned into movies. Go. But Satan rules the universe. I made a pact with He does not rule alone, and your pact with him will not save you. There is no other God. Satan killed him. Each man creates his own God for himself, his own heaven, his own hell. Let me see your face.

Your hell, Prince Prospero, and the moment of your death. No. No. No! No! Boo! So Edgar, I'm Paul, nobody knows how he died. He was taking all kinds of opium, drinking like crazy.

He went out at 40, and he didn't copyright any of his stuff. So all that movie is people didn't get anything. None of his books, they didn't get anything. Edgar Allan Poe. Okay, back with a final thought on my trip to London. Okay, so as I explained earlier, I went over to London, see the jet game, do some business. I hadn't been over there in a while.

I lived in London. There's me, an ambassador, Johnson, before the game. Great guy. Love him. I wish the Jets were doing better, but I still have hope that they will, second half of the season, roar with Aaron Jones.

He can still throw Aaron Rogers. Aaron Jones are running back, who could still throw the ball. Anyway, I lived in London more than 50 years ago. I like the Dodger shirt. I don't root for the Dodgers, but I like a tower of London over my head. Okay, back to me. 50 plus years ago, I lived in London. So I took my son to go to where I lived.

It's completely changed on one end of the street. This is Cartwright Gardens, right near Russell Square Tube Stop. So we walked down there. I said, this is where I was. But across the street and the bed and breakfast that I stayed in when I first got to London before I moved into the dorm, it's exactly the same. Exactly the same. But London's really changed. And here's the big change. About 45% of Londoners are now foreign-born. Forty-five percent. English culture has diminished. You wouldn't believe it. When I was there 50 years, years ago was ever yet, hello, hey,

I don't let's a cup of tea. It's still there, but it's not. The new people who have come into Great Britain, they're not as involved with the English culture, but they work so hard. Every driver, every hotel person, all the people in the restaurants, all the people sweeping the streets, doing all, they're all migrants, because the Britishers

or in the trades. And these people work hard. I mean, so I'm sitting there, but you're losing the British culture. There's no doubt about it. And that's going to happen here. If you don't regulate it. So it was a good trip.

I'm glad I went, and boy, time passes. I went to London as a big thug. I came back as a little thug. Thank you for. for watching the NOSPN News and listening. We'll see you more.
