Bill O'Reilly
Okay, let's start. There are two big successes for the Trump administration so far. Most of it is not defined. But two things have come on in. You know, the first, that's the border sealed down, okay, huge success for the Biden, for the Trump administration coming off Biden saying, oh, I can't do anything about it. We have to have a new law, man. And Trump has got that currency. He's got it on his resume. The second success has to do with pricing and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So cost of living is going to make or break the Trump administration. All the other things are important, the deportations, the war in Ukraine, all of that, the tariffs, all of it are important. But it is the cost of living that will make or break the president. And he's got about a year to drive it down. So he goes on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker on Sunday and of course, this comes up, roll the tape.
- [02:19]
Jeff Ahearn
Prices are already going up on some popular items.
- [02:22]
Bill O'Reilly
Tires, strollers. This is such a dishonest interview. Already prices are down on groceries. Prices are down for oil. Prices are down for oil. Energy prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline. And let me tell you, when you have the big thing, what he did, he spent like a stupid person, which he was, but he spent like a very stupid person. And that was bad for inflation. But what really killed us with inflation was the price of energy. So I'm talking about Joe Biden of Course. All right, now let's fact check the situation because this is what we do here. All right, so the President is correct that energy prices are down 2.4% from March of this year to under Biden March of last year. Gasoline is down a substantial 6.3% percent. Electricity has increased 0.9%. All right, those are in stone facts. Okay, now food, let's go to groceries. All right? Vegetables are down. Processed vegetables are down. Sugar and sweets up. Ham, those kinds of meats down. Milk and seafood down. Beef and veal up. So the cost of groceries rose an average of 0.4 in March. Negligible. Okay, and you can go in. And I, I went to Uncle Giuseppe's last night, I swear to God, and everybody knew me, but I went in to check, I got some stuff, and, and I'm looking around and some of the prices are up and some of them are down. So I buy the stuff that's going down. Right. I bought a bunch of seafood stuff. Anyway, you do what you want. But it's my job to tell you that groceries are pretty much flat when you, you know, up, some are down, but they're not going up, as Kristen Welker said. Okay? The final thing is There is a 14% drop, all right, in retail gas. That's what Trump was talking about. And that's a lot. Okay? So that hits you right in your pocketbook. 14% down. Now, you're not going to get that reportage from NBC News. They're not going to do it because that looks, makes Trump look good. And the reason that the energy prices are down is because the regulations, he took all the Biden regulations, all the green stuff away. So it's easier and quicker to get the gas from the oil refineries to the gas station in your, in your home, in your town, okay? And that drives the cost down. When transportation becomes less, we still have to deal with sky high insurance. That is a major problem. And I have not heard President Trump address it, but it's a major problem for everybody. So that's still there, but, you know, for 100 days on the right track. Would that be fair? I think so. But again, you're going to know that nobody's going to report that. And that is the sin of it. And that is the memo. Now, there's a new tariff on movies. Okay, let me just set this up. In a general sense, the movie industry has collapsed in the United States. There are a bunch of reasons for it, but it is too expensive to make movies in California. In Los Angeles. So a lot of the movies now go to Canada. Vancouver, the big set there. Georgia. Okay? They go there. That's where we shot killing Reagan. We shot killing Jesus in Morocco. Okay. Because of costs. And it drives across. So Trump says, no, I'm going to put a tariff. If you, if you put. If you shoot a movie overseas. Okay, here's the proclamation on truth Social. Quote, the movie industry is dying very fast. Death. Other countries are offering sorts of incentives to draw filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, many other areas within the USA are being devastated. It's a concerted effort by other nations and therefore national security threat. It is in the Department of Commerce. It is, I'm sorry, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda. Therefore, I'm authorizing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any and all movies coming into our country that were produced in foreign lands. We want movies made in America again, unquote. Now, I don't know how you do that because some movies are made partially overseas and partially here, but I'll give you a list of things that you obviously probably know. White Lotus, you know, that HBO show was pretty successful. Season one film, Hawaii, that's usa. Season two, Italy. Season three, Thailand. And Lord of the Rings, New Zealand. You remember that beautiful scenery there. Braveheart, Mel Gibson, Scotland and Ireland. Remember the Sound of Music way back. That was all in Austria. And Wicked was filmed primarily in the United Kingdom. So I don't know what you do here or how you enforce it, but here's something interesting. Governor Newsom of California is supporting this. All right. Because California has lost billions of dollars in movie revenue. Joining us now from Los Angeles is Randy Greenberg, who is a producer of films the Meg Meg 2. You're also an instructor at UCLA on the business of entertainment. Can you figure this out? I mean, what are they going to do? Slap a tariff on what, the studio or the ticket prices? How's that going to work?
- [08:53]
Randy Greenberg
Well, thanks, Bill. Thanks for having me on. And it's a pleasure to be here. That's a good question. I mean, you ask all the right questions is, you know, the reality is like, where does this actually exist? You know, tariffs on good. On goods that come into the country through ports of call is one thing, but this is digitally delivered. And, you know, so how do you do that? I think that. I think the. I think the idea of tariffs is on the entertainment business is an interesting idea. I don't think it's workable in any way, shape or form. But I love that the administration's focusing on the entertainment business at the moment. Most of the previous administrations have not focused on it. So the idea of trying to do something to keep production in the United States is great.
- [09:41]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, look, I.
- [09:43]
Randy Greenberg
Digital, it's great.
- [09:44]
Bill O'Reilly
I want the movie industry to thrive. I think that woke killed you and you know that. I just think back to the last James Bond movie. You know, I'm a big James Bond fan. I knew Sean Connery. He was a friend. And that last movie was so bad, I knew I was screaming in the theater and they ruined it because Awoke. But anyway, I think the only way on this tariff deal, number one, I think it's symbolic. I don't think Trump's gonna do it because it's far too complicated. But you could slap an extra tariff on a film and you'd have to charge more money for the ticket or, or if it goes straight to HBO or Netflix or anything like that, then you charge hbo, Netflix, who's ever distributing the film, a fee that. That goes to the U.S. treasury. That's the only way I can. I can see it happening.
- [10:38]
Randy Greenberg
I agree with you. But ultimately the consumer is going to pay the price.
- [10:41]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah. Who's going to get it right between.
- [10:43]
Randy Greenberg
The eyes or the higher or higher subscription fees? Right. So the consumers, like this is going to go right back to the consumer and which will, you know, and if it's a higher ticket price of theaters, theaters already have an issue. Right. Getting more people to come in. So, you know, you give people a pause like, yeah, ticket price is a little higher. I, you know, already If I wait 17 to 45 days, I can see it on streaming. You know, I'm already paying for that platform already, so I'll just wait.
- [11:10]
Bill O'Reilly
No, there's no doubt about it, but it will hurt the studios, too, because, you know, the fewer people that go to see the movie in the theaters, the fewer, the less revenue comes into the movie studio and creating a lot of chaos. Now, I think, and I could be wrong, there's also a measure because Jon Voight was involved with this, you know. Do you know, John, 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, get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage, Gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401.

Randy Greenberg
I don't know.
- [13:42]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. I know him pretty well and I always like spending time with John, but he's an arch conservative and he doesn't like the liberal Hollywood culture at all. And he talks to President Trump. I know that. And he. This might be a little payback here for Hollywood treating Trump so poorly and financing Kamala Harris campaign. Most of that money that went into her campaign came out of Hollywood. I just suspect there might be a little payback here. Randy, what do you think?
- [14:14]
Randy Greenberg
You know, look, Bill, I try to stay out of politics. I'm a producer, I'm a storyteller. My interest is in telling a great story and giving audiences, you know, something to watch that entertains them, takes them away from current issues that they're dealing with. Or, you know, they get to dream of going somewhere that they've never been before. That's. As a kid growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, that's what I did. I went to the movie theater all the time, was one of the first AMC multiplexes. And I dreamed I saw productions of movies that were all over the, all over the world.
- [14:50]
Bill O'Reilly
Most of us have had that experience. But I think because you live in Los Angeles and you're in the industry and I don't expect you to say anything one way or the other, you got to do business out there. You know I'm right. You know, there's a little payback here and but I don't expect this to come to fruition, but could be wrong. I have been before. I can't really remember when, Randy, but I know I have. And we really appreciate you coming on today. Thank you. Comedy and this is part of smart life too. So I need. I wrote a Message of the day about this book Let Them which has been number one for like five weeks by Mel Robbins. A self help book. And I don't read self help books because I'm beyond help. And that's why I wrote in the Message of the day if you want to check it out. But another Mel is a guy that I is desperate. I'm desperate to see what he does. And that's Mel Brooks because he's the funniest guy. The producers in Young Frankenstein. You want laughs. Those two movies, you know, I know Blazing Saddles, that a little crude for me, but boy, the Producers zero mustow, Gene Wilder and Young Frankenstein. So I gotta have laughs. So I was looking at the comedy landscape in the United States. Most comedians are left wingers, but that's changing. There's a guy named Nate Burgaz or something and I love that he did a pretty good set. Clean, not particularly political. Jeff Dunham, the guy with the puppets, fantastic. That guy is so talented. But they're not liberals and I started this. I'm taking credit for the non liberal comedy surge. So I want to show you on Back it Up as we always do. October 7, 2015. Dennis Miller and O'Reilly go now.
- [16:54]
Jeff Ahearn
Trump.
- [16:54]
Bill O'Reilly
I got him a bumper sticker that said my other plane is Air Force One and he'll be the only guy who is going to be president. And Slumigan on the plane, Bernie Sanders. I'm sending him a bill for half of what he has because if we're going to go down this road, he wants way more than half. He's should start it then, right? Give me half your stuff. Bernie will go from there. And I don't mean any of that bad pomade on what's left of your head here, Biden. Speaking of bad head here, I got.
- [17:18]
Jeff Ahearn
Him an 8 by 10 of William.
- [17:20]
Bill O'Reilly
Proxmire to remind them while his plugs are bad, William can be worse. I haven't heard that name in about 30 years. All right, so Miller and O'Reilly, huge hit. Okay? We went on a road and we had a lot of fun and Miller's doing very well. Out in California, I think he's semi retired now. So after that, then you had Gutfeld on Fox. He had a very successful program at 10. He's very right wing. You still have the liberal guys late night. You got Colbert. He's not even a comedian. I don't know what he is, but I don't know what he's doing there. Kimmel? Yeah, he's funny, but he's very left too. Fallon doesn't care about politics. Fallon just wants to be in the band. That's all he wants to do. But if you watch late night TV, it's 90% left wing. Guess and Point of View and all of that. But on the Internet, no. There are more and more and more traditional conservative comedians. One of them is a guy named Jeff Ahearn out of California. Roll a tape.
- [18:24]
Jeff Ahearn
One book is even by former CNN anchor and Biden sycophant Jack Taper called Original Sin. It details the COVID up of Biden's cognitive decline. Jack, you were one of the people covering it up. Watching you hunt for the killers of honest journalism is a little bit like watching OJ Simpson hunting for the killers of Nicole Brown. Another of the new books claims Biden needed a makeup artist on foreign trips, not for tv, but to liven him up for in person meetings. You know, so he didn't look like he just rolled out of the coffin. Well, if you can put lipstick on a pig, why not rouge on a corpse? It wasn't every meeting, the less important ones they kept in closed casket. Well, when a puppet needs to last four years, sometimes it's best to keep him in a box. Yet through it all, the mainstream media showed their contempt for viewers intelligence, making excuses for the President and saying he was in great shape. Come on, he needed a Sherpa to get from one side of the stage to the other. Yet many Democrats still use the mainstream media as their only news source. Which begs the question, who is more far gone? Joe Biden or those who for four years were willing to believe that he wasn't?
- [19:33]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, Jeff Ahearn joins us now from Glendale, California outside of la. He's a host of News on the Day on Rumble. See, I don't even know what Rumble is. I don't know. Roku, Rumble, Toku, Tofu, I get. But I know that you're pretty hot. But you've been around 30 years. You've been around a long time doing stand up. Have things changed in your industry?
- [20:05]
Jeff Ahearn
Oh, yeah, very dramatically. You used to be able to just go out and do jokes and people would laugh and, you know, it's pretty easy. You know, you just do your act and then. I live in California. So there came a time, you know, probably, I don't know, I'd say seven, eight years ago, you literally couldn't say anything that was not narrative friendly. And if you did so, the club owners wouldn't book you. You would. You have to play out of state. Other comics would, you know, pull. Kick you out of the group, so to speak. And the thing is, a lot of them held the same exact beliefs that you did, but they were afraid to say it. So it's often interesting to me when someone is a leftist comedian, are they really leftist or are they leftists for the work, so to speak?
- [20:43]
Bill O'Reilly
All right, let's get specific, though. You've worked with almost everybody. You know them all. You work with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. You can't get more woke than those two. Can't get more left wing. When I did my gig on Saturday Night Live, I walked in, I thought that Amy Poehler was going to throw up when I showed up. I mean, the look I got, like, what the deuce? Who let him in? And why isn't security dragging him out? Both of those women are about as far left as you can get. Now, when you interacted with them, do you have any problem?
- [21:18]
Jeff Ahearn
No, no. When I. When I interacted with them, I was, you know, I was. I was on the left, too. I was. I was an idiot. This is, you know, when I was a moron in my 20s and I was just like, oh, yeah, whatever. What are we supposed to do? You know, I just took instructions. I didn't think for myself. And then I got to the point where I started thinking for myself, and I'm like, what am I doing? This is a terrible idea. You know, what. What are we. What are we letting criminals out of jail free for? What are we hiring based on race? For what? You know, to end race. All these things. Basically, everything that the left had as a narrative point, you'd look at intellectually and be like, this is insane.
- [21:50]
Bill O'Reilly
Was that a St. Paul moment? Was that a St. Paul, like lightning hit you, or did that evolve over a period of time? It.
- [21:58]
Jeff Ahearn
I wish it was like a spontaneous, like, lightning strike. No, it evolved over time. Where I'll just one more thing after another after another after another. I'm like, you know, I don't actually think for myself. I just sit here and I just do what everyone tells me I'm supposed to do. If I actually Analyze this. And then it got to the point where I'm like, well, now where do I go to get my news sources from? Because it's all basically just leftist dribble, you know, but, but here's my dilemma here.
- [22:21]
Bill O'Reilly
I know what you're saying, but there a lot of these people are very, very smart. Okay? So Kimmel is no idiot, but he is so deeply ingrained. But it helps him because if you are a conservative comic or a traditional comic, your job opportunities in these corporations are far fewer than if you're left. Isn't that correct?
- [22:49]
Jeff Ahearn
Yeah, they're almost non existent. It's the status quo. And I feel like a lot of these comedians, I don't know, I think Kimmel is a leftist, but I feel like they've gone so far forward in that direction, there is no turning back. They got to keep going.
- [23:02]
Bill O'Reilly
No, for them there is a. But remember, Kimmel was on the man show.
- [23:07]
Jeff Ahearn
Yes.
- [23:08]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. And he was not a raving lunatic on ideology back then. He was funny and he was way politically incorrect. He was a woke. I mean, my God, the guy. What the guy was doing. But anyway, so the industry in Hollywood has not evolved, has not changed. And I'm taking the three Americans concept out now with Stephen A. Smith and Chris Cuomo and me, which is a really good concept. It's funny, it's sharp, it's this, it's that. But when we go out to talk to these people in Hollywood, I mean, these are living in a totally different world than the world that you and I live in, Jeff. They're not in our world here.
- [23:51]
Jeff Ahearn
No, they're in an insulated bubble. And it's kind of, you know, you brought up a Newsom and it was shocking to me when I heard what Newsom's speech today and how he's literally pivoting. He's trying to become a Republican. He's trying to.
- [24:04]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, he has to. He wants to be president. But that just shows you who he is. It just shows you who he is now. One of the guys who helped you do what you do, and I should mention that you do five days a week political commentary. That's a lot. And you can find Jeff on Rumble if you know what Rumble is. And that's just.
- [24:25]
Jeff Ahearn
Nobody knows what Rumble is.
- [24:26]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, anybody under 50 knows you could find it. Anyway. The what? There was a turning point before Gutfeld. Gutfeld was a big turning point. He made a ton of money for Fox doing the right wing humor. Yeah, but Norm MacDonald, I. I love Norm. Norm MacDonald was the first one to really say, you know what? This is a bunch of bull. I'm gonna play it straight. As far as looking at the world the way it is. Am I wrong there?
- [25:03]
Jeff Ahearn
No. Norm was ahead of his time. And it was just. That's why everyone loved Norm, because he just didn't care. If you told him not to do something, he would do it even harder.
- [25:11]
Bill O'Reilly
No, he didn't want to be pushed around. But his point of view, and I got to know Norm before he died, was very sharp. But he just rejected the insanity on both sides. Final thing, you see a guy like Bill Maher, who's really the only one now at that level on hbo, and HBO is a very left wing organization.
- [25:32]
Jeff Ahearn
Oh, for sure.
- [25:33]
Bill O'Reilly
He goes to see Trump. Maher and says good things about Trump. The vitriol directed at Mars. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Right?
- [25:44]
Jeff Ahearn
They know. They know they're losing it. And Mar is just a. A flaming firework example of just how bad they're losing. He's even, like, coming over to our side because he's like, enough, enough. I can't do it anymore. Enough.
- [25:56]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, he's not. Don't think he's coming over. He's not, because he knows where his paycheck comes from.
- [26:01]
Jeff Ahearn
He's tipping his toe in the water. You know, he's.
- [26:04]
Bill O'Reilly
He's a contrarian.
- [26:06]
Jeff Ahearn
Yeah, he's a cat.
- [26:07]
Bill O'Reilly
Sure. But he'll stay where HBO wants him to stay. He will, yeah. When you get something that you feel is ridiculous, and not just on the left, though, but just, sir, you let us know. All right, so I'll kind of treat you a little like Miller. I actually treat you better than Miller because I.
- [26:31]
Jeff Ahearn
All right.
- [26:31]
Bill O'Reilly
Made fun of Miller all the time. You let us know and we'll pop you right in. We wish you the best and thank you for helping us out tonight.
- [26:39]
Jeff Ahearn
Oh, I had a great time, Bill. Thank you.
- [26:41]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, Harvard president says taking a 25% cut because Trump's cutting the money to Harvard. His name is Alan Garber, 70 years old. He's just recently been appointed a president because of the chaos up in Cambridge. He's probably making about one, two. A million two. That's what I figure he's making. He says he's going to take a 25% cut. And Harvard, you know, I hope they wise up. I do. Because they're not going to win against Trump, you know, if Democrats elected after. Okay. But going to have a bleak three and a half years. All right, Joe Biden shows up on the View. My question, first of all is why.

Bill O'Reilly
You buy your groceries. You don't have a book. You don't have a cooking show. Not yet. Why are you on the View? Why did you give an interview with the to the BBC earlier this week? What is this all about? I can't answer the question. I don't know. But anyway, Biden shows up on the View. Here's a soundbite. Go.
- [28:29]
Jeff Ahearn
So why do you think the vice.
- [28:31]
Bill O'Reilly
President lost and were you surprised? I wasn't surprised. Not because I didn't think the vice president was qualified person to be president. She is. She's qualified to be president, United States of America. But I was surprised. I wasn't surprised because they went the route of the sexist route all the whole route. I mean, this is a woman, she's this, she's that. I mean it really I've never seen quite as successful and a consistent campaign undercutting the notion that a woman couldn't lead the country. And a woman of mixed race. Yeah, and they played that to a fairly well, that's just gibberish. I covered that race as intensely as any human being on the planet. I didn't see any attacks on Kamala Harris as a woman in politics. Not one. Okay. Biden couldn't point to one. The ladies on the View have no blanken clue. So what are you talking about? What? Where was the commercial saying hey, she's a woman, she can't govern? Where were they? What are you talking about? Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate. Not because she was a woman, because she doesn't understand or even care about, in my opinion, solving our problems. Final thing on this, and this is very important for you to know, when Biden says stuff like that and the View ladies hear it, they believe it. Why? Because they want to believe It. They don't care if there's any factual basis to back up the statement. They don't care. They want to believe the reason Kamala Harris lost is because of sexism and racism. And so they're going to believe it. So then you say, well, are they lying? Technically, they're not lying because they live in a delusional world, a world that doesn't really exist. They make up that world. Now. In the past, people who hired media, people like the ladies on the View, people who vetted guests, that kind of thing would not hire delusional people. They would, in the interview, job interview, they go, ooh. And the American voter wouldn't cast a ballot for delusional people. That's why Eugene McCarthy didn't get anywhere during Vietnam and McGovern got waxed by Nixon, because those men lived in a delusional world, a world that couldn't possibly come true. And the voter said, you know, I don't like the Vietnam War. And me, I don't really like Nixon. But McGovern, he's not living in the real world. I'm afraid of him. Now that's gone. The final thing is it is easy for people to create their own world and believe what they want to believe. It is comforting to them. Biden's not going to go on, and he doesn't even know. This is not a smart, intelligent man, Joe Biden. He never has been. But he's not going to go on and say, you know, kamala Harris lost because my policies that I instituted, like the open border, like cutting down on transportation flow to the marketplace, which rose the price of food, and regulating the oil and gas industry, which rose the price of gasoline. My policies doomed her. Biden will never say that. He will never even consider it. Later on in that stupid show, the View, Jill Biden came on and said, joe is a great president, lady. And again, is she lying? She's not lying. She's delusional. She can't handle the truth. To quote Jack Nicholson, Very important that you know that, because in your life, I know you deal with delusional people. They may even live in your house with you. Okay? And there's very little you can do. You can stack up the facts and you can say what I just said. Give me one example of some sexism on a part of the Republican Party in the campaign of 2024. Give me one commercial, one statement by Trump or Vance. You can't. Air traffic controllers. Now, I'm not sure about this. This is anonymous source. Story comes out of the New York Post. But there's big trouble with air traffic control 2012, okay? Till now 13 years, there's been a 10% decrease in air traffic controllers, whereas there are far more flights now than there were in 2012. So the whole system's cracking. Now, the Trump administration said, look, we're going to spend billions of dollars to get more air traffic controllers in here. But whose fault is this? Might that be President Biden and his Transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg? Four years, nothing. They did nothing to upgrade the air traffic control system in this country. But Jill Biden, oh, no, he's a great president. Okay, Afghanistan is another one. Here's another one. All right, August 30, 2021, Joe Biden surrenders in Afghanistan. Everybody runs out of there at his order. 13Americans are killed in the flight, 170 Afghans sympathetic to us. And he leaves behind $58 billion worth of U.S. weapons at Bagram Air Force Base. $58 billion Biden leaves there. Everybody remembers. Well, now there's a report from the inspector general for the Afghanistan Reconstruction Organization. S I G A R as is in Sam I G A R P. This is a report from the inspector general. The Daily Caller website got a hold of the report and here it's its analysis. Quote, the threat of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is far greater today than pre 911 as the Taliban controls all of Afghanistan has the resources of the state has allowed Al Qaeda to establish significant terror infrastructure including training camps, safe house and religious schools. Al Qaeda has the time, space and resources to recruit and train the next generation of terrorists and plot their next attack, unquote. This is what Joe Biden did, okay? Almost five years after the fact. Now, I am piling on by tonight, but you need to know how bad his administration was. And if you read Confronting the presidents, Abraham Lincoln walked into the same thing that Trump walked into. James Buchanan screwed up this country. He's the worst president ever, okay? By allowing the south to rise in ferocity and never confronting what the Southern states were doing when Lincoln walked in as a fait accompli. You're going to have to fight a war that killed more than a million people because of Buchanan. Now Trump is in and his first hundred days and all that, okay? But he's trying to correct what has happened in the last four years under Mr. View, Joe Biden. You need to understand this bigger picture here in order to understand what Trump is doing. Smart life. So I'm the wrong guy to give you this advice. I don't want to be a hypocrite. I am not a patient man, and that's good and bad. I get a lot of things done because I cut through the bs. I got no tolerance for it, but sometimes ridiculous, okay? And I'm demanding that things happen. And. But if you are patient, you are smarter than I am or more disciplined than I am. However, about a month ago on April 16th, when all hell was breaking loose about these tariffs, this is what I said. Go now. Stock market's crazy again today. Again. I reiterate. I'm not doing anything. All right? It's up, down, it's annoying beyond belief. But to sell on the down. And I, you know, I think it will sort itself out in the next month or so. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm doing. Which was nothing. Not selling. I bought a little bit, but not much. Now I'm turning out to be right. Today, May 12th.

Apply, but three days hence I might be wrong. So here is the smart life tip number one. Be as patient as you can. I was patient. I didn't make any crazy moves. But now I've recovered and maybe you have to. All of the things that I lost when the tariff hysteria kicked in. What am I going to do now? I looked at it today. I looked at my portfolio today and I'm going to. I didn't pull the trigger on any sales. But here's a Smart Life tip. If you went through mental anguish earlier this year because of the stock market craziness, if that happened to you, you might want to consider slimming it down now. Okay? So I told you a few weeks ago that I sold some gold that I had because it was at a high level. I can't give you individual financial advice, can just tell you what I'm doing. I have a tolerance for risk, so I don't have to sell. But I know a lot of people who really almost physically sick about what happened to their portfolios in April. If that was you, cut it down, get your money out, get your money back, maybe you made a little money, okay? And just live so you're not suffering because it's going to go down again. I don't know when. Nobody knows when all of these economic signs today were good. But if somebody does a terror attack, if some crazy thing happened, okay, that's Smart Life. You got to know yourself. All right, the Global Organized Crime Index is out with the most dangerous countries in the world. Okay, fascinating list. And this is based on human trafficking, smuggling, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, financial crimes, cyber dependent crimes, environmental crimes like shooting wildlife and all of that. That's what it's about. Here are the top five, and I'll give you the another five. Myanmar, that's Burma. Okay, that's number one. That is narcotics. The golden triangle. Poppies, Heroin. The Myanmar military government, which is a dictatorship. Totalitarians, they get paid off. Big heroin factor. Colombia. That is cocaine. Same thing. Mexico is a combination of all drugs and the highest murder rate in the Western hemisphere. By far. Dangerous country, out of control. Paraguay. Now that's an interesting country. Paraguay. A lot of Nazis went there after World War II. That's a smuggler's haven. Very few people enforce the law in Paraguay. If you're a smuggler, no matter what it is, you can go there and operate with impunity. Next one is the Congo. That is diamonds and totally out of control murders. No law enforcement of Congo. Here are the next five. Nigeria, lot of crime, very little supervision. Then we go to South Africa. That's basically street crime. They can't control street crime in South Africa. If you walk around Johannesburg after dark, you're out of your blanket mind. Iraq, that's a government breakdown. And there are so many guns in Iraq, so many jihadists, so many idiots running around. Afghanistan, same thing. Say everybody's got a gun and they don't like you, they shoot you. And Lebanon, no central government. Now, the USA is 67 on the list. Decent. UK, 61. They're more dangerous than we are. UK China's 33. China is all about stealing other people's stuff. Intellectual theft, that kind of thing. You commit a crime, a street crime in China, you're done, okay? You're finished. There's no due process in China. The safest place, Polynesia in the South Pacific. Nobody there, but nothing to steal. But if you want to be relaxed, you go to Polynesia. All right, Final thought of the day. As you know, my next book comes out September 9th. It is called Confronting Evil. Assessing the Worst of the Worst. Now, we have featured 12 people. Four on the COVID Hitler, the Ayatollah, Putin, Mao. And then we have eight others inside. And they're all as bad as you can get. Now, recently, I came across an evil situation. And I say evil because what this guy was doing was hurting children. He wasn't molesting the children or he wasn't doing anything like that, but he was hurting them. He was in a position of authority. He was hurting some kids. And it was no two sides to it, okay? He was doing it, so I had to take care of him. Now, I couldn't do it legally because he didn't break any laws that I knew about. And I didn't have any sway about his job, but I did know people who had power over him. And I don't do this much, but I made an appointment and I brought in the facts, had them all right down the line. I said, you got to get rid of this guy. He's hurting the kids, but don't believe me. Check it out. But I made it very easy for them to check it out. Guys gone. Okay? Now, again, I don't do that a lot because I got to know for sure 100% that you're evil before I take that kind of action. But my point is this. Every one of us knows bad people. And if you know somebody who's actively hurting another person and you can prove it, then you got to move on it. You gotta. Now, I don't expect you to put yourself at risk, a lawsuit. You know how it is. It's crazy. I expect it. Protect yourself. I did. You said, look, I don't want any publicity. I don't want to be involved with this. I'm telling you, this guy's evil. Hurting children. Up to you. And they got. But if you know somebody's actively hurting another person, you got a responsibility you do. Final thought of the day. Thank you for watching and listening to the no Spin news and we'll see you again tomorrow. The market's uncertain, revenues tight and hiring on hold.
