Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spend News from Monday, January 23rd, 2023, stand up for your country. Well, I may have Biden derangement syndrome. If you read my column filed yesterday at noon, I explain the malady. Trump derangement syndrome, we all knew what that was, and now I might have Biden derangement syndrome and there's no vaccine for it.
Starting point is 00:00:43 I don't want this, and that's the column. I don't want to be deranged over Joe Biden, but it's very simple. Can he really be that bad? and that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. So here is Biden's weekend. They found more top secret documents, but there's something very interesting going on here. So this is a fourth batch of documents to be found in Biden's possession
Starting point is 00:01:17 since the first announcement back in November of 22. 26 classified documents have been found at either Visan's residence or his Penn Center in D.C. Okay. But get this. Biden's got two homes, one in Wilmington, Beach. This is a lakefront home. This is where the latest documents have been found.
Starting point is 00:01:47 But he's also got a house in Rojobith Beach, very near on the ocean, and the FBI has not even searched it yet. Now, that is incredibly hard to believe, is it not? Nobody searched that house yet. Are you kidding me? I thought there was a special prosecutor appointed by Merrick Garland. And if the FBI is combing the Wilmington House, why wouldn't they send a couple of guys over to the Roebooth House?
Starting point is 00:02:22 Does that make sense to you? Is this the way the Federal Bureau of Investigation? is supposed to be operating? Now, it's not the agent's fault. They have to do with their toll. But they flood down to Mar-a-Lago, as everybody knows. I think there were 40 of them down there with guns. And now we got a big beach house sitting there, and nobody's looked at it.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I mean, I'm just, I'm sitting here going, do I live now in Zambia? Nicaragua? Is that where we are now? A third world banana republic? It's inconceivable. Okay, so y'all know the reaction of people for this classified stuff because they have to react this way because they condemn Trump so much because Trump and Biden basically did the same thing, but it was was on a, you know, there's more Trump documents and play than Biden. But Biden's catching up. And if they ever go to Rahob, if he might pass Trump, who knows? All right.
Starting point is 00:03:38 So on the heels of this, the chief of staff of the Biden administration, Ron Clayne, says he's stepping down. And then many right wing outlets go, oh, this is because Clayne sees the ship sinking. He wants to get out, the documents, that, that, that. No, that's not what this is about, all right? Clayne is leaving to make money. And he knows, Clayne knows a smart guy, that Biden's not going to run again. The whole thing is going to collapse under the House investigations. The whole Biden administration is going to collapse once the House starts looking at the Hunter Biden and the FBI trying to help.
Starting point is 00:04:20 It's all going to collapse. Trust me on this. All right. So Clayne wants out, but the primary is in his money. So he can book speeches for two years, Clayne, at a big fee. If he stayed and then Biden collapses, he's not going to make nearly as much money. That's why Clayne is leaving. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:43 So Jeffrey Zins, Z-I-E-N-T-S, is taking over. all right he is 56 years old graduated summa cum laude from duke in 1988 mark guy he was in charge of some covid thing i don't know what but he was a liaison with covid and biden and transition whatever i don't know he's a bureaucrat he's a swap guy but this doesn't matter at all because the one who's in charge of by the person who is telling him what to do is Susan Rice. Now, let me tell you about Susan Rice. You know her. She was involved in the Benghazi fiasco with Hillary Clinton. She's a Democrat Apparachnik, but you don't really know her. Fifty-eight years old. Brilliant woman, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Okay. She served as the director of U.S. domestic policy since 2021. She came with Biden. And she came on purpose. She wasn't a pal of Biden. All right. She did work in the Obama administration. But she was put in the White House for a reason. Okay. It's a little background on Rice before we get to the reason. So she first emerges as a foreign policy aide to Michael Dukakis, who, of course, lost to Bush the elder in 88. Then she started to work at the Brookings Institution, a prestigious think tank. In 2004, she was a foreign policy advisor to Kerry, John Kerry. Now, remember, Dukakis and Kerry are very left-wing individuals, carry more so than to caucus, very left, all right, and carry gets waxed by Bush de Younger. Then Rice signs on as foreign policy advisor, okay, remember the words foreign policy. I've used them now three times to Obama, okay, and then Obama appoints her ambassador to. the U.N. after he wins. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Now, Susan Rice then shifts from foreign policy into domestic policy where she doesn't know anything, but she is a radical left thinker. Let me back it up. Okay. 21, January 26th, almost a year, two years ago, she puts out a paper no it's a press briefing by Susan Rice and you don't see her around anymore they've kept her under wraps but this is a press briefing two years ago she says quote every agency in this administration will place equity at the
Starting point is 00:07:59 core of their public engagement okay that means that African Americans LBGQ, religious minority, they're all going to be hired first. Okay? Just says it. And that's what Biden said. So equity, number one. Number two, according to Washington Post, Rice said, in every department and all aspects of what we do,
Starting point is 00:08:32 we need to be intentional about infusing equity and racial justice. Okay, and everything we do, everything. No, I don't know how you infuse that in Ukraine, but they'll figure out a way. Then on December 29th, 2022, just a few weeks back, she says that cannabis clemency is remarkably productive. That means Biden expunged all the marijuana. conviction. So she's down with pot, likes the pot, likes the equity. And finally, she tweeted that women's reproductive health is a top priority for this administration and is supporting abortion pills to be sold at pharmacies. Now, if you go down the list of progressive causes,
Starting point is 00:09:33 she is at the top of every list. So people write to me all the time, and when I go on, on other programs on a radio and television. And I go, well, who's the puppet master here? Who's writing Biden speeches? Who's supervising what he says? Who's telling him what to do? It is Susan Rice, who is doing that. Now, final thing in the Talking Points memo.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Susan Rice is best friends with the Obama's. best friends so I'm not drawing any inferences right now but if you're Sherlock Holmes you're going hmm see
Starting point is 00:10:27 Obama is quiet they're not saying well we told Joe Biden to do this or that or we suggested to the president and he do that no But it's not inconceivable to see Obama's, Sousa Rice, Joe Biden. Okay? So now you have it.
Starting point is 00:10:49 That is what has happened in the last two years. And, you know, it was interesting because over the weekend it was a two-year anniversary of Biden's inauguration. Do you hear anything about that? There was nothing about it. Nobody said a word because it's been such a disaster. And Susan Rice is the architect of that disaster. Remember, when everything is infused with race, everything, then you're going to get skewed policies across the board.
Starting point is 00:11:22 That's the memo. All right, President Biden's schedule today. Put it on up there. For those of you on the radio, listening on the radio, he did nothing. Nothing. So this Monday, he showed up at the White House at 1040. that's when he got to work that's a good job you know that good job nothing so how many times have said that to you that he this is the first weekday right nothing but i i guess he met with susa rice
Starting point is 00:11:56 i would i would think he would do that all right some poll numbers for biden and um if you see things about Trump and Republicans running for president on poll, polling, it's all bogus, far too early for any of that stuff. I don't even give it to you. All right, but I see them all the time, but it's just, why would I report a story that's bogus? It means nothing. I wouldn't. But the Biden poll numbers mean something. First one, Ipsos poll, all right? 1,035 Americans, Democrat 28, Republican 25, Independent 40. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden's handling his job? Approve 40, disapprove 53.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Quinnipeak, all right, 1,066, registered voters. Republican 27, Democrat 29, Independent 33. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Biden's handling his job? Approved 38. Now, this poll was just taken. Disapproved 53. Economist, left-wing poll. This is a left-wing poll. Okay, do you approve or disapprove?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Approve 44. Well, Quinnipiac has got it at 38 Economist, which is a left-wing magazine, it's got it at 44, disapproved 48. It's almost 50-50 as far as, because there's a margin of error. But I don't believe that poll for a second. A Harris poll, 2,050 registered voters, internet poll,
Starting point is 00:13:34 approve or disapprove, approve 42, disapprove 56. So his poll number is terrible. That's why you didn't hear anything about his two-year inaugural anniversary of being in the old office. All right. Now, Democrats are really caught here. They can't support Biden on the documents because of what they did to Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:02 So, Senators Mansion and Durbin went on the Sunday shows, and here's what they said. Go. It's unbelievable how this could happen. It's totally irresponsible and who's at fault. But with that being said, putting in a political kangaroo, of course not going to help. What it should be done is exactly what Merrick Garland did. Put to special counsel. So let's wait and see.
Starting point is 00:14:23 At its heart, the issue is the same. Those documents should not have been in the personal possession of either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. But what happened and followed from it is significantly different. I don't know that, Durbin. Now, this is what I said on News Nation last week. And I could be wrong about this. I don't think so, but I could be. I don't think Trump or Biden knew what the deuce was in.
Starting point is 00:14:51 those boxes. I think they were moved out of their office places, moved in to Mahalago and to the other Biden centers. No, they're not looking at that stuff. Now, that doesn't excuse it. Doesn't excuse it. And Trump handled it differently. It was defiant. And Biden knew that he had to be And he hasn't admitted he's wrong. I'll play you sound by the minute. But he knew he had to take a different approach than Trump because he did the same thing as Trump. But I don't think either of them knew.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Now, maybe I'll be proven wrong on that, but I doubt it. So here's what Biden says about the whole thing go. We're fully cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're going to find there's nothing there. I have no regrets. I'm following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. It's exactly what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:15:56 There's no there there. Thank you. Oh, I hate that cliche. Don't you hate that cliche? If you're going to use no there there, then you just apply it to Biden himself. He's not really there. It's an apparition. Okay?
Starting point is 00:16:12 So I have no regrets. And Trump didn't have any grits either. Where do we get to this point where the problem? presidents of the United States, even if they do something that shouldn't have happened, won't say, gee, I wish it didn't happen. Why don't we can't get that anymore? I have no regrets. Now, this Rahobith Beach House thing is bothering me, all right? This is why I have Biden derangement syndrome. It shouldn't bother me this much, but it bothers me. I think it's corruption. So I told my staff, get Talman, get them off the ski slopes,
Starting point is 00:16:58 ski slopes of Salt Lake, get them in here, former U.S. Attorney for Utah. You know, I've made your career. You know, I have made you. Now I see you on Fox. I see you with all these pinheads over there. You know, you're a big star. People are going, can I get the little gray and the Talman beard, you know, they're going on. We were there before they're there, was there. That's right. I discovered you. It's like Shirley Temple.
Starting point is 00:17:29 All right. Does this make any sense to you? Is it former U.S. attorney? Because you don't, after all this time, you haven't even gone into the Rehobahus House. Yeah, I'm glad you highlighted it because I think corruption as well, though. And I, you know, I've dealt with cases. I've been on both sides of the classified document. cases prosecuting them and defending on them. And they take a pretty much a zero tolerance
Starting point is 00:17:55 approach with anyone else. And they took that approach with President Trump. And you and I were the first ones to say, you know, they were they were overdoing it. And it was going to come back to Biden. And it did. And now they're stuck. And I just want to point out, though, remember it was the inspector general that got tipped off that Biden might have a document or two. And then they very quietly used private attorneys to go to his pen office, you know, and search. And then they found some and they brought it to DOJ. Every step of the way, it seems as though it's more an effort to control a story than it actually is to investigate. And now with an entire home, not having been investigated, the DOJ and the FBI taking a back seat, we're left to say, look, we may not
Starting point is 00:18:43 agree or disagree with what you do, but at least DOJ apply it equally. At least DOJ apply it equal. equally to both sides. Well, they're never going to do that. But shouldn't Merrick Garland be embarrassed? I mean, there's the Attorney General. He's got to know. Look, if you're a dope dealer in a fine 10 pounds of cocaine in one house, you got another house eight miles away, they go over to the other house.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Okay? Oh, no question. Yeah. Merrick Garling can't defend this. Christopher Ray can't defend it. This makes me think that the special prosecutor appointed by a. Garland to look at Biden. He can't defend it. That means he's incompetent. That means the fix is in that they don't really want to know the extent of this. I mean, it's just like you can't
Starting point is 00:19:31 defend it. Why didn't you go over there? Am I wrong? Am I over-hyping this? Not at all. Remember, the special counsel has not really even engaged yet. He was going to have 30 days before to wrap up other issues with his practice. So he's not even engaged in calling the shots. So the blame falls squarely. But wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not going to give him a pass because, number one, he's already interviewed a few people on this. I know that to be fat. They release it. But number two, all he would have to do
Starting point is 00:20:03 as he's disengaging from whatever other thing he was doing is pick up the phone and say, hey, I need somebody to go over to Rehobith, you know, because we need to have what the scope of this is when I walk in the door. It's not unreasonable. I mean, how long does that take? Yeah, it's a good point. And I would say especially it's reasonable when you have found documents now in multiple locations. You and I, we could absolutely place a bet there's going to be some documents in the Rehobot
Starting point is 00:20:34 house. Yeah, I mean, look, I am so tired of this corruption, which is getting worse and worse and worse. and the American people have got to know it. I mean, I know some don't care. They're more partisan as long as their party is put in a favorable light. They don't care what the party does. But most Americans are going, this is just outrageous. Now, I wanted to get you on the record with the FBI.
Starting point is 00:21:00 So Trump appointed Christopher Ray. In my opinion, Ray has made the FBI even worse than it was on DeKomie. I mean, and when you see Ray and testifying in front of the, in the hearings in Congress. I mean, the guy won't answer a question. He's just a weasel. It comes off with this weasley guy. He's like Garland.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Garland and Ray are like the same. They won't answer questions. Garland looks nervous. All right. He's like this. And Ray looks cool. That's the difference. But what they're giving the American public is nothing.
Starting point is 00:21:38 If you were appointed head of the FBI, And I would do that if I were a person. How would you clean that agency up? How would you do it? Yeah. And first of all, I'd love that job because I think I'd go in there and acknowledge where we made mistakes and answer honestly what we're doing and reprioritize the FBI. My first move, Bill, and I'm glad you asked this question, the first move would be clean house of all those that are in the executive positions in Washington, D.C., remove them and bring in. And there are fantastic resident agents in charge across the country that are running, you know, massive field offices who care more about investigating crime than they do about the politics and replace all those in Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And as soon as you start to do that, you'll see a very different FBI. We had an author on last week who wrote a book about the decline of the FBI who said this all started when Robert Mueller was the chief. And he was given the mandate after 9-11 to track down. terrorists that were here in the United States and he took authority away from the field offices and centralized everything in Washington and brought in the swamp creatures to the FBI to run that anti-terror program. I don't know whether that's true or not. I obviously didn't, but it made sense that Mueller was the guy and then it got out of control with Comey and McCabe and the other people. Do you see it that way? Well, I'm not sure you're going to
Starting point is 00:23:10 your guest was, but I would give a thousand percent endorsement on that. Think for on this fact, Bill, prior to 9-11 and prior to the new mandate of the FBI to root out domestic terrorism, 70%
Starting point is 00:23:26 of the FBI was being used on drug interdiction and violent crime across the country, partnering with state and locals to get rid of violent crime. So 70% shift went to domestic terrorism with newfound money, and budget, they had to justify all that new focus. And that's what they've done. And it's,
Starting point is 00:23:45 it's creeped. It continues to creep into average American citizens' lives as we see them, you know, develop into an intelligence agency rather than a law enforcement agency. Yeah. And then they align with the anti-Trump movement and the rest, as we know, is history. All right, Brett, thank you very much for coming on and stay safe out there in Utah. We'll talk to you again soon. I hope. Thanks, Bill.

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your Podcasts. All right, the border stats release Friday late. This is what they always do. This is the Biden administration. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:24 So the data is released by the border patrol, but they release it when they're told to. So late Friday, January 20th, it comes out because all the journalists are gone. And the weekend news cycle is not nearly as well watched and listened to as during the week. All right, here's the data. In December, more than 250,000 migrants were encountered by the Border Patrol. So that's one month. That's a 240% increase from December 222. December 2021, all right? So in December 22, let me be clear, because I wasn't clear, all right,
Starting point is 00:26:21 a quarter of a million migrants more than a quarter of a million. 21, that is up 240%. It's shocking. But as Biden said, you know, hey, that, no, there's no there, we're doing anything wrong. And then he just shuffles off. And it's, he didn't, believe me, he doesn't care. Let Susan handle it. Let's Susan Rice handle it. He doesn't care. So it's a disaster.
Starting point is 00:26:57 There's no doubt about it. And then correspondingly, the narcotics traffic has gone up. And then the U.S. Border Patrol has confirmed at least 1.2 million migrants, illegal entry. He's got away. They weren't even encountered. How did they know that? Well, they have censors and that. I think that's low myself. I think more than 1.2 million have got away. And this is since Biden has been president, two years. One point two sounds low to me. The Border Patrol, they don't. Most of these people, they seek out the Border Patrol. That's what the cartels tell them to do.
Starting point is 00:27:38 over and they go, I want to surrender and ask for asylum. They don't run away, most of them, all right? They want asylum and they get in the system, and then they get bust or flown wherever they want to go. It's a great deal. The ones they get away, they don't want anything to do with the Border Patrol, okay? So they're the hardcore, and I think it's more. upon what people are telling me okay this terrible shooting in california now this story is a
Starting point is 00:28:15 continuation of the madness that we have in america where people who are insane kill other people it's as simple as that and we have more of it here because we have a free society that you have a right to protect yourself with firearms, constitutional right. Most countries, you don't have that, particularly in the totalitarian countries. You're caught with a gun in Russia or China or Cuba or North Korea. They're not going to see you for a while. There's no trial either. Okay?
Starting point is 00:28:55 So, and even in other countries like New Zealand and Australia and people, the gun, culture is very, very hard. But here, the wisdom of the founding fathers is Americans have a right to defend themselves. And with the crime that we have and the 330 million people and the open border and everything else, we need that right. I'll be very clear on that. But insane people get access to guns and then they go out. So what happened was Saturday night, there was a dance honoring the Lunar New Year Chinese event, American Chinese, and a guy named Hu Contron, 72 years old goes in. He murders 10 people and injures another 10. All right, he had a semi-automatic pistol with an extended magazine. Not hard to get on a black market. You can get
Starting point is 00:29:53 that. And he went into it, and then he killed himself as the authorities chased it. So this is just another one of what we see almost every month in this country, unfortunately. But when it broke, you had the usual suspects trying to racialize the crime. Here's Chuck Schumer. Okay? Oh, boy, Schumer. Quote, I'm heartbroken by the news of the shooting of Monterey Park amid Lunar New Year celebrations. I'm praying for the victims, their families, the first responders.
Starting point is 00:30:31 We must stand up to bigotry and hate, wherever they rear their ugly heads, who must keep working to stop gun violence. So Schumer, before he knows anything about it, bigotry and hate. Okay, so what's the bigotry? It was an American Chinese who, by the way, came from communist China. Okay, immigrated over here, killing other American Chinese. All right, Chuck? Now, Chuck would have been happy, I'm sorry to say this, and it's nasty, and I'm very sorry
Starting point is 00:31:04 to say it, would have been pleased if it had been some white guy, particularly if it had been a white supremacist, militant guy. Oh, Chuck will be crazy. He will love that. And you know what I'm saying is true. It's not nice, but it's true. All right. Norway, I'm only telling you this because it's so, I don't know, out there, the Norwegian
Starting point is 00:31:33 chief of defense, Eric Christopherson, okay, says that Russia has suffered 180,000 killed or wounded in Ukraine so far. So on February 24th, it'll be one year since Putin invaded, and he says 180,000 killed or wounded Russians. Now, how does he know that? Well, he was on Danish-Danish, Norwegian TV. And he doesn't really say how he knows it. Figuring, how does Eric, no. Now, the U.S. Intel says 100,000 dead or wounded.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Okay, that's a big difference. And either way, I mean, obviously, Putin's getting his butt kicked over there, but he's not going to stop because he doesn't care. Just like Biden doesn't care about the open border and the suffering, the massive suffering that that has led to, Putin couldn't care less how many dead or wounded. All right, it's all about Putin. I want to restore the grandeur of the Soviet Union. Media.
Starting point is 00:32:52 So I told you last week I have a letter from Ronald Reagan, not to me, but it's a letter I acquired because I'm a history guy and I research history. I wrote a book called Killing Reagan. All right, y'all know that. So this letter is about the media and it was written 40 years ago, okay, January 10th, 1983. So I'm going to quote from the letter. Let me show you what we're up against with the press.
Starting point is 00:33:24 You saw the coast-to-coast storm. Ronald Reagan wants to tax the unemployed. No one called first to ask if it was true. They never do. One more sample of what can only be a concerted campaign. A few weeks ago, the market died 36 points in one day. the TV news that night and the papers the next morning trumpeted that it was the biggest loss since 1929 then they added just before the great crash and the depression but none of them pointed out the 36 points were from a Dow of about 1,040 in 1929 the Dow was 200 like jimmy durante i've got a million of those examples of press dishonestly unquote. I was 40 years ago, and they did. They did work Reagan over almost every day.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I was working at ABC at the end of his term, and I was down in Washington somewhat with Sam Donaldson. Donaldson hated him. He hated Reagan. He would disparage him. I mean, you know. I thought it was a fascinating letter. Nothing's changed in 40 years. And then I asked my producer, do you know who Jimmy Durante is? No clue. Poor Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:35:01 He's gone. The big-time comedian with the big nose back then and all that. Smart life. All right. Get cash back with the Chase Amazon credit card. I hate doing this. I don't want to advertise Chase or Amazon. But their credit card, it looks like to us,
Starting point is 00:35:20 will get you a lot of money back if you buy stuff. OK, now you're going to go check it out. I hope, if you want to save money, you search credit cards on Amazon.com, and then it'll pop up. So it's a legitimate bank chase. And then they got all kinds of things where they give you back. Money, substantial money.
Starting point is 00:35:45 All right. So some people. Some people, not many, because we have the biggest retention rate, I think, in the industry about concierge and premium members reing up, you know, renewing their subscription, their yearlys. But some people, you know, because of the recession, have not reen up. And because we ask them.

Starting point is 00:38:39 All right, there's a mail. Let's rip through it. Sarah Shaver, Valdez, North Carolina. My thoughts, and the feelings are exactly the way you put it in your column, O'Reilly. I've started to think I was becoming like the irrational Trump haters. But as you said, the actions of President Biden, it's very hard not to have the syndrome. Got to fight it, though. I'm fighting. Phil, concierge, remember, way to go, Phil. Thank you. Bill, your problem, you are getting emotionally involved. Big mistakes. Stick with your principles, the facts. And the events actually describe. Time and God will fix our problems. All right, there's something to that. I mean, Biden's making me crazy. I've got to pull back. I've got to pull back. DeWitt. The fact is that for Biden and supporters, this is what a good job looks like. We live in a low voter comprehension era. It is hurting the country. There's no doubt about it, DeWitt. Brett O'Donnell, Levittown, Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Bill, I never hear politicians from either party talk about reducing the deficit. Are we capable of doing that? Yes, of course. If we cut spending, the deficit goes down. Tax receipts are at an all-time high. We get cut spending, and then that brings the deficit down. Melody, Concierge member, thank you, Melody. Bill, you are a great man, and your children are lucky to have you as a father.
Starting point is 00:40:07 See, Melody, I'm reading that to them every hour on the hour, okay? I am fortunate to have good children that are grown and have become responsible, hardworking adults, so I am leaving them money in my will. This is off the Marie Osmond stuff where I said, I'm going to leave my urchins stuff when I leave, when I depart this world. Kirk Overby, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I know your worst cliché is at the end of the day, but they're there is probably worse. It's close. At the end of the day, it drives me nuts because every athlete is saying it now. Oh, uh, uh. Eileen Pila, Oceanside, California is probably Pia, note this Spanish.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I submitted a claim on missingmoney.com. Receive my check and less than two weeks. You are a lifesaver O'Reilly. Yes. Missingmoney.com. Eileen scores.

Starting point is 00:41:14 We got brand new polos, no spin. We got brand new mugs, no spin, logos on them. I mean, you'll love this stuff. And it's very, not very inexpensive, but it's very moderately priced. Word of the day, this is a new one. Do not be tenebrific. I never heard that word, but it is a real word. T-E-B-R-I-F-I-C.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Tenebrific, don't be that. Back with a final thought in a moment. All right, here's the final thought of the day. You know one of my mantras is people believe what they want to believe. Here in New York, the New York area, everybody wanted to believe the New York Giants would beat the Philadelphia Eagles. And a lot of people put money on it. Not me. Number one, I don't bet the NFL because you can't win.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Number two, I hate all these betting commercials. I think it's horrible, particularly for younger people who don't have a lot of money. But anyway, the Giants are not as good a team as the Eagles. You can see it. It's plain to see. But here in New York, everybody was jazzed. Yeah, yeah, we're going to go in there to Philly and kick their butts. Well, the Giants got annihilated.
Starting point is 00:42:37 They didn't just lose. They got annihilated. Now, I'm watching it. I'm sad. I'm rooting for the Giants, all right? But I know the Eagles are a much better team. The Eagles could win the Super Bowl. All right?
Starting point is 00:42:52 I think they're going to beat San Francisco. I'm not going to bet it, but I think they're going to beat them. So be careful in life. If you believe what you want to believe, based on nothing else, else, you're likely to get burned. Thank you for watching and listening to the NOSBIN News. You see tomorrow.
