Really poor reporting on the Iran, Israel, USA situation. People speculating about stuff, they know nothing about it. Anonymous sources, a bunch of garbage. And that's why I'm glad you're here listening on our radio affiliates across the country and watching on television because we're going to set the record straight now. You have to know that the situation changes from hour to hour. I was on a Hannity radio program today and I said, look, I don't have any hard data that the president has made a decision one way or the other to use US Air power to blow up this furlough mountain where the uranium is. I don't know if that's going to happen. I do know there are plans drawn up so that, you know, if the president says go, it'll go fast. But at this point I don't think he's made a decision. But I could be wrong and it could happen anytime. So it's a tough story to be on top of yet there's so many distortions leading up to it and that's what I'm going to do and correct. So that's a talking points memo about isolationism. So if you believe the media, isolationism is growing. You know, the people, Americans don't want to get involved with foreign entanglements. They want to get out of Ukraine, don't want any money there. They don't want to help Israel with Iran. This is what the media is pushing, okay? And some high profile individuals absolutely fit into that isolation category. But the regular folks I don't think are there. But I could be wrong. All right, because data is hard to come by. There was a poll sent to me this morning and it was some outfit that. And the poll question was, do you support military action, including ground troops in Iran? Well, no. Who supports that? That's not even in play. Why do the poll. And of course, overwhelming people? No, no, we don't want to send US Forces over there. I mean, air power is one thing, but infantry is quite something else. All right. But there are, as I said, Isolationists. And the interesting part is they're on both sides. The MAGA conservative side and the liberal progressive side. So here's MAGA guy Steve Bannon. Go. I'm telling people, hey, if we get sucked into this war, which inexorably looks.
Stephen Nikila
Like it's going to happen on the.
Unknown Speaker
Combat side, it's going to not just.
Bill O'Reilly
Blow up the coalition, it's also going to thwart what we're doing with the most important thing, which is the deportation of the illegal alien invaders that are here.
Unknown Speaker
If we don't do that, we don't have a country.
Bill O'Reilly
I don't know how an Iranian action would impact on ice, but that's Mr. Bannon's opinion, and he is entitled to it. Now, on the left of the Trump haters, there's Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Go. Donald Trump is so weak in the Middle east that the Israelis essentially ran over him. And now we are speeding towards a war in the Middle east that the American people don't want. The fact of the matter is, there was a diplomatic path, and there potentially still could be a diplomatic path. Oh, yeah, okay. I mean, it's obvious the Mullers are stringing us along. How long do you want to give them? So he doesn't care. You know, Murphy doesn't care what's true. He just hates Trump. All right, so let's run it down. Here's a fact that if there is a nuclear explosion in this world, every human being will be affected. So if you're an isolationist, you got to keep that in mind. So if they Iranians develop a nuclear weapon and they somehow streamline it down so it can be portably transported somewhere, it's very hard to do it from the air, but, you know, and they blow something up, then everybody in the world's affected. So it's not just over there, it's here. It's everywhere. The Iranians are supporting terrorists that's beyond any doubt. Hamas, Hezbollah, they give the money, they give them arms. The terrible nightclub assassinations in Orlando, Florida, that was isis. I mean, the Iranians are up to their neck in terrorism everywhere. The mullahs admit they have the, the weapons grade uranium. They, you know, they're not denying it. They have it and they go, oh, it's for peaceful purposes. Okay, if it's for peaceful purposes, just let the UN in. So let him see what you got. Bring it right down. It's not hard, but the mullahs won't do that. But you got to keep in mind Saddam Hussein wouldn't do it either for weapons of mass destruction and they didn't exist and cost Saddam his life. He was killed because he lied about the WMDs. And then US forces came in, deposed him and the Iraqis hung him. Didn't make a lot of sense to me, but he did it. And it's also very instructive to go back a little bit. Appeasement of tyrants never works ever in the history of mankind. Has never worked. So the modern day history. So you remember the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain visiting Hitler in 38, and Hitler was taking Austria and in Czechoslovakia and he's violating the treaty for World War I. He's doing everything, he's rearming. I mean, obviously the guy was going to cause trouble, massive trouble. And the British go, okay, go ahead. All right, World War II breaks out. Then at the end of World War II, Winston Churchill's the prime Minister and President Roosevelt and Stalin, when the war was a fait accompli that Hitler would lose, they met at Yalta. And at the end of FDR's life, he gave away the store to Stalin, gave Stalin everything he wanted. Winston was a little perturbed by it, but didn't have the power. And General Patton was going absolutely nuts. If you read killing Patton that FDR was giving Stalin everything Stalin wanted, what did that lead to? The Cold War. Okay, 30, was it? 30, 40 years. That's what that led to. All right, so appeasement never works. So if you appease Putin because Ukraine, you know, that's a part of this, this isolationist movement. And if you appease the mullahs, going to be more trouble. Don't think there won't be. There will be 100% guarantee. Now, if you don't believe that Iran's a threat to the world, you don't want to believe it. And there are people like that. They just live in a bubble. You know, I see it every day. Oh, they're not close to developing a nuclear weapon. And one of these people is the American National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard. This is amazing story. So Gabbard doesn't see the threat, even though President Trump appointed her at national security doesn't see it. Roll a tape.
Nicole Byer
Political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers. Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an End.
Bill O'Reilly
To the this madness now, that was just posted about a week ago. And Trump's mad. That's it for Tulsi. She's done. Okay. And when she was appointed national security chief, I like her, by the way. I mean, I've interviewed her a number of times, and I think she's a woman of conviction, but her conviction is isolationism, and Trump should have known that. So she's out. All right, let's sum this up. President Trump's not a warmonger. He doesn't really want to use US Air power, but there's a good chance he will. A lot of it has to do with how the mullahs behave. If the mullahs would surrender and the UN People would go in there under US Supervision and dismantle the whole thing, then there wouldn't be a need for it. That's probably a long shot. The mullahs themselves are going to wind up like Gaddafi with their throat cut in a ditch. That's going to happen to them. But if they were to surrender, maybe they could extend their lives a little bit. The other possibility is the Iranian army will turn on the mullahs. Remote. Okay, but the Persians are different than the Arabs. Popular support in Iran is not with the most, but they got the secret police state going on. All right? So I can't predict with any certainty what will happen. I do know that air power plans are drawn up and Donald Trump could act on them anytime he wants. It's up to him, 100%. Israel doesn't have much say in this. Israel have to do what we tell them to do. And Netanyahu will be thrilled if we go in and dismantle that furlough Mountain. And the anti Semites, the anti Israel progressive crew, they're touting that we're lackeys to Israel. You know that. That's what all those Columbia University things were all about. You know, Israel's a terrorist state, is a genocide, but on and on and on and on. But in real life, Israel is not going to let Iran have an atomic weapon, an atom bomb, a nuclear weapon, because Iran wants to kill them all. If you lived in Jerusalem, you feel the same way. And that's the memo. All right. Joining us now from Key West, Florida is Stephen Nikila, who is a chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. And I asked for Mr. Nikila, because libertarians generally don't want any kind of United States involvement overseas in these kinds of military actions. So I assume you object to this, right? Let's face it, the US 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.

Yes and thank you so much Bill for having me on. We as Libertarian Party have been against foreign entanglements for over 50 years, since the original platform of the Libertarian Party was created. We've opposed all foreign wars, especially wars like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and potentially a war with Iran. And we see this conflict as one that could potentially escalate and cascade into a regional conflict that could entangle the United States to have to come to the aid of Israel, which we're vehemently against. I believe that the Iranian government is first and foremost a threat to its own people. They're an authoritarian regime. I believe Israel does have the right to defend itself. I believe they are correct to be adversarial with Iran, perhaps even kinetic adversaries. But as far as the United States supplying weapons, supplying ISR and the ira, the Israelis asking for the United States to get involved again and again, I think we're in a dangerous position where I think Trump's instincts are correct not to get involved directly with and entanglement with Iran that could spiral out of control, especially when the end game is, is not clear. If the end game is for Iran not to receive or to create nuclear weapons, then the Israeli attacks on supposed Iranian infrastructure should be sufficient. But as the war continues to escalate, we may find ourselves in another forever war that we may be ending up spending billions, if not trillions of dollars on, just as we have with the global war on terror over the past several decades.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, so, so you're making a few mistakes because you're doing a lot of what a might and all of that. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, the Libertarian Party of the United States is going to look foolish because Iran is not going to get the nuclear weapon from for peaceful means. They're going to use it with blackmail. They might even use it literally. I want to kill all Jews. So I don't know how any political party can say, yeah, we're okay, let Iran get a nuclear weapon. And without the United States support, you know, not direct military, but certainly weapons and intel, the Israelis aren't going to knock out completely the nuclear facilities. They're buried under mountains, you know that they're going to require major bombs that Israel doesn't have. So the Libertarian Party puts itself in a position of saying, you know, if the mullahs get the nukes, that's okay, or am I being unfair?
Unknown Speaker
We, we believe that the best, the best way to come to an end of this conflict would be to pursue diplomacy.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, that's not going to work and you know it.
Unknown Speaker
So look, at this point, there seems.
Bill O'Reilly
To be a table.
Unknown Speaker
Israelis have attacked.
Bill O'Reilly
With all due respect, we have tried diplomacy for years. If you read my column on Obama and Biden, they tried to bribe them. They tried to do everything to him. So let's live in the real world, Stephen, please. Because if you don't, the discussion just goes off the rails. So right now the Libertarian Party would be okay if the mullahs got the nukes. Now we go to Ukraine. So you don't want the United States to supply Zelensky with military gear, right?
Unknown Speaker
That is correct. I believe that the further the west and NATO pushes Ukraine towards war with.
Bill O'Reilly
Russia or It's already a war then, Steven. It's already war started when Putin invaded, okay? Correct.
Unknown Speaker
2014.
Bill O'Reilly
I understand that a little bit better than I understand the nuclear thing in Iran. So you don't want the United States to be involved. So if the United States isn't involved, the likelihood is that Putin takes over Ukraine because they need money and weaponry from the usa. EU can do a little bit, but we're the big dog. I just returned from China, Stephen. It is without a doubt that if the United States withdraws from helping Zelensky and Ukraine, the Chinese will seize Taiwan militarily. They're waiting to see what happens. You'd be okay with the Chinese seizing Taiwan, Right?
Unknown Speaker
We believe that the Taiwanese, the Ukrainians and the Israelis can certainly purchase weapons from our military industrial conflicts. But the more and more the United States gets involved in these conflicts and either directly or through proxies, the closer this brings us to World War III and a potential nuclear escalation I don't see net in sight in the war with Ukraine and Russia. There was an opportunity for Russia and Ukraine to come to an agreement in Turkey. Boris Johnson told the Zelensky not to capitulate to the terms of the peace agreement that we would supply them with with weapons in order to fight the Russians. And right now the west is pushing Ukraine to fight down, to fight Russia down. The very last Ukrainian. So I don't.
Bill O'Reilly
You're talking about giant countries like Russia invading Ukraine and China invading Taiwan. The little countries can't stand up. It's just like Hitler when Hitler took Austria and then he took Czechoslovakia and then he went into the Tsar and then he started rolling. It's the same exact thing that we've seen for just millennium, that the big countries with the psychotic leaders take over the little countries. But the U.S. libertarian Party does not seem concerned about that. And that concerns me. You see where I'm coming from?
Unknown Speaker
I can see your concern. I think most Americans are concerned right now with inflation. We're concerned with our tax dollars.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, but you're not going to have. You're not going to have a worldwide economy. If you have disorder, social disorder all over the world, the world economy collapses. If you have China on the march, if you have Putin on the march, the worldwide economy is going to collapse. So they can be concerned about inflation, but it's going to get a lot worse if you don't have social order. I'll give you the last word.
Unknown Speaker
I think the United States post World War II did a great job expanding throughout the world economically. We became a bastion of freedom, an economic powerhouse. Now we see China becoming that economic powerhouse. We need to get back to our roots as an economic superpower and a foreign policy based on non intervention diplomacy and trade. Rather than being the world's policeman and weapons manufacturer, the Libertarian Party has stood strong and non interventionalism want to be closer to Switzerland, not isolationists like North Korea. We believe that the United States cannot continue with these forever wars. We already pay a quarter of our taxes go straight to interest. We're going bankrupt as a, as a country. And Americans are just weary of any new conflicts. And at this point, they're unsustainable. And the Libertarian Party sees peace as the only option and economics and diplomacy as the true right arm of freedom and democracy from the United States.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, Stephen, good. I appreciate you coming on. Thanks very much. Very good discussion. All right. No kings update. I wrote a message of the day. This is no surprise. He had 75 million people voting against Donald Trump. And you're surprised that somebody comes out and calls him a king and runs around the street with a sign after he's deporting hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who the Democrats wanted in here? Come on. It's totally ridiculous. This isn't anything surprising at all. Some facts about 2000 protests, all 50 states, about 5 million in attendance, not many. That's not a big. There are some big crowds in liberal cities, but not many. 105 arrests across the country. That's very low. One death in Utah. So you look, I was on Stephen A. Smith's podcast. He said, what do I think? I said, fine, you want to dissent, you don't like Trump, get out there and just protest, but just don't wreck anything like they're doing in Los Angeles. Joining us now from New York City is a columnist for the New York Post who writes about these kinds of things all the time. But she's a new podcast, that Red Seat, which we're in business with, is promoting. It's called Podcast one and it's going to deal with politics. And Miranda Devine has access to a lot of very interesting guests and she will be doing that podcast. We hope you check it out. So, Ms. Devine, first of all, am I making any mistakes in my Iranian analysis?
Miranda Devine
No, I don't think so at all. And I mean, you know President Trump very well and have known him for many years. And you know that people can't pigeonhole him as either a warmonger or a dove. He's sort of criticised for both things. But as he says, he just tries to apply common sense and that's what he's been doing now. He's been crystal clear from the beginning, throughout the campaign and previously that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, that's all. Do you think he's making any mistakes? Should he be more aggressive? Should he be more passive on it? Is he making any mistakes, in your opinion?

Miranda Devine
I don't think so. I mean, look, he hasn't done anything overt yet. He's just threatened the Ayatollah. He said we have complete control of the skies. Obviously, Israel has degraded Iran's defenses, so now is a good time to go in and just smash the the nuclear facilities. That's all.
Bill O'Reilly
But what if Israel can't smash them because they don't have the bombs that we have and say the mullahs hold out and the only way to obliterate the nuke stuff is for the United States to bomb these mountainsides. Would you support that?
Miranda Devine
That is the only way because these nuclear facilities are buried very deep down and only the US has these B2 bombers that are capable of carrying the bombs that can actually get near them. So, I mean, unfortunately, America is the only country in the world with the ability to do this. And I think President Trump has been weighing this decision to very, you know, with, with great care. And his message to the ayatollah just short time ago, saying, surrender, unconditional surrender. We don't want the ayatollah dead. He's safe for now. This is a clear, you know, he's moved.
Bill O'Reilly
He's trying to get right. It would be much better if they threw their hands up and then the United nations could go in in conjunction with the United States and just take.
Miranda Devine
It's not going to happen, probably. But I mean, a limited strike, just do that and get out.
Bill O'Reilly
What could happen is the Iranian people, the Persians will rise up, and if that happens, the army will turn. And that's what Trump is really hoping for. He's not hoping for any rationality on the part of the Ayatollah. Okay. He's hoping that the Persian people will say, enough. And that's why he's saying, get out of Tehran, you know, this and that. And it's possible that happens. Not probable, but possible.
Miranda Devine
Well, we hoped for that in Iraq and it didn't happen. Sure.
Bill O'Reilly
We hoped for it a lot of places, and it didn't happen. But I do agree with you that Trump is not going to allow this thing to go back to where it was, in a sense that it signed some kind of deal and the deal is murky and they still have this capacity. Trump has come to the conclusion, and I know this to be true, that they're done. And if we have to push them over the edge, we'll probably push them over the edge. But if we do that, we'd have trouble with China in particular. And that is a huge, huge story. And I know that because I was just in Beijing. China didn't care about the mullahs. They don't care about them one bit. But they don't want the United States pushing people around and using military action. So that's what Trump had, a very, very complicated situation. I also want to talk to you today about the media. You know, people may not know this who don't live in the New York area, but Miranda Devine was right in the middle of the Hunter Biden laptop thing, where the New York Post, to its credit, got the laptop printed, what was on it. And then the mainstream media, the corporate media, attacked the New York Post, saying it was all bogus, which those of us who are honest brokers of information knew was false. And I think that the corrupt media knew it was false as well, but they didn't care. But anyway, you went through a long period of time where you were fighting these people and then they finally admitted defeat and said, yeah, yeah, the New York Post had it right, blah, blah, blah. Do you see any improvement in those people who reported dishonestly about Hunter Biden?
Miranda Devine
No, all they do is morph. You know, they never said that the New York Post got it right. They just seamlessly moved into oh yes, you know, the laptop is real and oh yes, you know, then it's used in a court of law as evidence. Oh yes, it. But they never go back and revisit their own errors or correct them. They are so arrogant. I'm thinking particularly of the New York Times, which is, you know, all the news that's fit to print except anything that's damaging to the Democrats or might help Donald Trump. And they sort of set the agenda for all the newsrooms, not just in the United States but around the world. And so that's the skewed perspective of America that's transmitted and it's through the eyes of the New York Times, which has not got a grasp on reality and they haven't changed at all.
Bill O'Reilly
But they don't want to grasp on reality. They're in business to promote a certain lifestyle, a progressive lifestyle, and that's what they want to do. You, you're an interesting person to me anyway, because you worked in the media in Australia, I believe, in Japan, in England and in the United States. So you have a perspective, a worldwide. My theory, and I could be wrong, of course, is that we have the most corrupt media in the free world right now, America, I mean, the BBC is pretty corrupt, but we're really bad. Now. Do you concur?
Miranda Devine
No, not at all. I didn't actually work in Japan. I was a child. I grew up there. But look, I think that, I mean, I take Australia and England, the dominated by the BBC and in Australia, the other government funded equivalent state television called the abc. And they are so dominate the rest of the media that they are completely untrammeled by any semblance of the truth. And they are incredibly partisan and basically pedal propaganda. Now, they're no different, I guess, from the New York Times, the Washington Post, cnn, et cetera. But at least in the United States, there are disparate voices and those voices are getting stronger as the American people wake up to the fact that they've been lied to by those august established media organs and they look for alternate, you know, sources of news like Bill O'Reilly's no Spin Zone like the New York Post and our new podcasts, Joe Rogan even, I mean There are lots.
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. I mean, and there's a study, there's a study out today, we're going to report on tomorrow, that the alternative news agencies have now surpassed the. Which is obviously true. But, you know, here's the rub on it. It isn't ideology that has sunk them, although that's a part of it. They're boring, Miranda. They're boring.
Miranda Devine
Well, they are.
Bill O'Reilly
You know that. They're just. Because they're all parrots. They get their little. At a K Street every morning. They get their little talking points. Their editors just gut them. Okay, you say this, you say that, and if you don't want to say it, you're not working for us. And so these people go on there and they're like zombies. You don't learn anything. They're not, they're not seeking the truth. They couldn't care less. What they want to do is keep their own jobs. And on television, I made my name by having robust debate on the Fox News Channel. Now all of them just bring in people who agree with everybody. Tell me more. You know, it's like we don't have fire anymore and people are going. So I think that that's why, because the social media is so much more lively and gets to your pod Force One. So you're going into a sea of podcasts. This is not a podcast. This is a broadcast here. But you're going to a sea of it. Last question. How are you going to make it different?
Miranda Devine
Look, I guess just the relationships that I've built up with the cabinet members and President Trump, I guess they trust me and I'm hoping to ask them questions that are obviously of the news of the day. But, you know, in my normal interviews with people, I'm looking for, you know, a front page story, exclusive, something on whatever is the hot topic. But this is a bit more relaxed. You have more time. I had 45 minutes with the President and I just had an over an hour with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. And you know, it's just probing, I guess, what motivates them, what their desires are, what their background is, what drives them. They're all incredibly, you know, they didn't get to these positions of power without being driven and unique. People with a perspective on success and an ability to get success. That means that they have a lot of lessons for the rest of us. And look, also, many of them have, you know, personal lives that are not chaotic, that are pretty stable. And how did they manage to do that? I'm interested in, in that when you Know these powerful men and women. What drives them behind the scenes as well.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, so part four is one is the new podcast. We're going away. If you get anything good, I mean, not good, but big, let us know. We'll throw you right on. We appreciate it. Good luck with it. Thank you.
Miranda Devine
Thanks so much, bill.
Bill O'Reilly
All right, U.S. gas prices expected to rise 10 cents in my town in two days or stop because of the Iran thing. And there's plenty of supply, so I don't expect it to be a burden. But the Trump administration is going to live and die on consumer prices, so keep an eye on that. The average today for price for a gallon of gas is $3.16. Cheapest. Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, most expensive, California, Hawaii, and Washington. Washington. They slap onerous taxation. Okay, Fox News. So this is an interesting story. Jennifer Griffin, one of the best reporters in the country. I've known Jennifer for almost 30 years. And there is a guy out in California, an Afghan national named Saeed Nassar Noori. Okay. He was taken into custody by ice.

And he is a former translator for US Troops in Afghanistan during the war. And Jennifer's outraged. He says this should anger every American. Throw it on up there. All right? And then others are coming to Mr. Nouri's aide saying, quote, this guy helped our troops. He hasn't broken a single law. He was doing everything right to seek asylum. Yet I threw him in detention anyway. The goal of handing him to the Taliban. Well, I don't know about that last sentence, but there's some outrage here that the ICE took this guy into custody. Here's what ICE says, so we're fair is what ICE says. Okay. On June 12th, ICE officers arrested Saeed Nasser Nouri, Afghan national, entered the USA unvetted via the CBP1 app under the previous administration in 2024. There's nothing in his immigration records indicating he assisted the US Government in any capacity. All his claims will be heard by a judge and the Afghan officials. Persecutions law able to request asylum. Okay, but it's. How are you incarcerating him? What are you doing? Obviously, he's going to ask for asylum and his brother got it. Okay. His brother helped the US too. And you know, he. He's on his way to being able to live here as a resident. Now, to me, if he's a translator, if he translated for US Troops, you can't go back to Afghanistan. This is what I mean. I support ice. I support the deportations of people who should not be here. Mostly criminals, but there should be a review by Homeland Security. In cases like these, you don't just strong arm the guy and throw him in some tank. You see what I mean? And that's where I think Homeland Security can improve and should quickly. And we appreciate Jennifer Griffin pointing it out to us. Mexico, it's a narco state. It's not getting any better. It's getting worse. Claudia Sheinbaum, new president, seems to be afraid of the cartels who gunned down a Mexican mayor yesterday. Martha Laura Mendoza, a few days after killing Lilia Garcia Soto, another mayor. And the cartels are killing local politicians at a record rate, creating chaos in Mexico. And not only do they kill the women, these women, they kill their husbands, their children, everybody else. What is Claudia doing about it? Nothing. The only way to solve this problem is to partner up with the usa who's designated these cartels as terrorist groups. And Claudia won't do it. So these poor women trying to improve the country of Mexico, they shot down in the street by the car. And cartels now know what's going to happen to them. Who's going to investigate them? You, Claudia. Narco state right to our south. Crazy smart life. Cannabis use linked to a double risk of heart disease. New study finds. Told you so. This study is a compilation of data from 216 to 223. Okay. And it says researchers found, compared to non users, cannabis use is Linked to a double risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. 29% higher risk for acute coronary syndrome, 20% higher for stroke. Okay. I'm not surprised. Are you? This is. Oh, nothing wrong with marijuana. Oh. Oh, no, it's fine. Don't smoke Marlboros. But they want to talk on that doobie. They called that anymore. Go ahead. The worst decision in recent memory was legalizing marijuana. You people who are smoking that stuff are taking the gummies or whatever the blank you're doing. You don't pay and kids. Destroys them. Destroys them. You can't have an intoxicated child on the streets here in New York. Crazy. They get some tax money out of it. Boy, what a terrible, terrible decision. Pot is not a benign substance. Either is vodka okay? You're down in six shots of vodka. All right. Hello, liver. But no, you don't get any of that in the media. Oh, no, no. We're not going to criticize any legalization. Oh, no. Supreme Court upholds Tennessee's youth transgender care ban. State of Tennessee says no, you are a minor. You cannot get blockers, surgeries, nothing. Went to Supreme Court. They rule Wednesday, yesterday, 6 to 3, that Tennessee is a power to regulate this. So you'll see other states now do it. All right. The three, of course, Sotomayor, Kagan and Brown Jackson. The progressive group. All right. Yeah, we don't. Yeah. Seven years old. You want a little puberty blocker? Sure. We don't care. Okay. That's a good win in Tennessee. The governor there is Bill Lee. Congrats to you, Governor Lee. You did the right thing. And I know states will follow. Not California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii, but the same states. Final thought. I have a message of the day on trusting people. And there's a article in the Psychological Bulletin that says if you trust people, you're going to be happier. Okay. And you'll prosper more. I don't know. I don't want you to be cynical, and I don't want you to be isolated. That'll make you unhappy. Both of those things. But our new motto, and you may have noticed it, is trust is earned. Earned. Trust is earned. You don't automatically trust people. In our society today, lying, stealing, scams, all of that, far more prevalent than ever before in history. When I was growing up, as a kid, the 50s and 60s, you lie, you steal, you get a lot of trouble. Now, you ask any lawyer, Perjury in court of law, out of control, nothing happens to you. You up there swear to tell the whole truth, then you lie. Your butt off. They won't do anything to you. Steal. You could steal $900 worth of stuff in California and you won't be punished. And if voters okayed it. So I have an example in my message today where my mother, at the end of her life, I had to have 24 hour people in the house to care for her. Almost all of them stole from an old lady. So anyway, I trust a number of people. They've earned it. But other people that I did trust betrayed me. Same thing happened to you. I can guarantee it. Every human being gets betrayed. It's a reason Judas Iscariot has a prominent place in the New Testament. Careful. Thanks for watching and listening to the no Spin News. We'll see you on a Monday.
