We all know that. I guess the height of our assemblage was, was World War II. 99% of Americans were united to defeat the totalitarians in Germany and Italy and Japan. But now, I don't know, I'd say 60, 40 split 60% traditional Americans 40 don't like the country very much. You know, they're, they're on that side that it's basically everything needs to change. So anyway, there are opposing points of view and that's a good thing. But they're not respected as much as they used to be. And one of the reasons is people believe what they want to believe. And we'll get into that in a moment. But there's another big reason why this division is taking place and that is delusion. Many of us in America live in a delusional bubble. Not in the real world. We don't want the real world. We don't want to go anywhere near the real world. We want to take narcotics. We want to drink ourselves into a stupor. We want to believe stuff that's insane and we seek it out. We don't want to deal with reality. That is a very difficult situation to overcome. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. So again, people believe what they want to believe. And you know them. I, I know them in my life, not close to me. I can't deal with delusional People, but on a periphery. And you could go in with 10 facts, and they'll just don't even listen. No, no, no, no. You know them. There's nothing you can do. And maybe you can get them hypnotized, but there's nothing you can do. So I've come to the point in my life where I don't try. Okay, okay. You want to believe that, you go believe it's not true. But I did all I can do. Also, there are a lot of people who just don't care about what's true. It doesn't matter to them. Now, I was raised in a home where there was a right and a wrong. And then I went to Catholic school where there was a right and a wrong. I was usually in the wrong. So I experienced that very vividly. But now we don't live in that world right and wrong anymore. Traditional homes have it, but secular homes don't. It's like, oh, well, whatever you want to do is fine. All right? Now, once you get into that world, then if you act out, you can hurt people. And I'm going to give you a very vivid example of this. So Yesterday, Robert Kennedy Jr. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, testified in front of the House Appropriations Committee. There are a bunch of radical leftists in the audience, and they don't like Kennedy. They don't like America. They don't like anybody. One of these radical Americans, a guy named Ben Cohen. That's Ben and Jerry. I'm sure if you follow politics, you know, he's a far left loom. Okay, here's what happened. Go. The witness will suspend. The committee will come to order. Capitol Police are asked to remove the individuals from. Members of the audience are reminded disruptions.

Ryan Reynolds
All right? Congress pays for bombs, kill kids and gossip, okay? That's anarchy. Those people ever got control, there'd be massive violence. They kill you if you disagree with them. And my opinion, but I've seen it throughout history. You're irrational. You live in that far. And you could be on the right, too. You could be Adolf. Hey, hey, he's great. We love the Nazis. Holocaust didn't happen. Same thing, no difference. But we see it played out more in America on the far left because the media accepts the far left where it doesn't accept the far right or even conservative Americans. Okay? So later on, Mr. Cohen appears on News Nation with Cuomo. Go. It didn't really have anything to do with Bobby Kennedy. What it had to do with is that Congress has been cutting money for Medicaid, health care for poor kids. And they're using the money they saved doing that to bomb other poor kids in Gaza. And now, you know, there's. There's this. They're halting all the food aid that's going in, so they're starving the people of Gaza. That's just insane. All right, so run down the facts, and I'm only doing this as an intellectual exercise. I don't care what Ben Cohen says. I would never buy any Ben and Jerry's. Even though they don't own it anymore, they. I don't do it. Okay? So there have been no cuts in Medicaid because that bill hasn't passed. They want to reform the waste because it's totally out of control in that program. But there's no cuts, okay? There's no cuts for health care for poor kids. In fact, entitlement spending is at all time high. All right? American money is not being diverted from our entitlement programs to Israel so they can bomb poor kids. Okay? That's about as fallacious a statement as you could possibly have. Israel defending itself against terror attacks from Hamas. Hamas lives in civilian areas in Gaza, and children have gotten hurt in the crossfire every war that's happened. I'm not justifying anything. I'm just telling you what the facts are. Okay, so Israel is supposed to say, oh, yeah, come on. You attack our people, you kill our children. We're not going to do anything because you're hiding behind your children. And that's what Hamas is doing. Always done. Okay, so Cohen is delusional, doesn't care. And then he raises a very interesting question. The United States, he says, is helping the bomb or actually bombing, killing the kids. Here are the facts you will remember. And this story died fast, but I've resurrected it today. You remember President Biden allocating millions of dollars, 230 million to be exact, to build a platform in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Gaza to get food to the hungry people there. Remember that story? Okay? It went nowhere. They built the pier, it operated for 20 days and then devolved into chaos. 62 U.S. servicemen were hurt because of terrorist activity over there. 62, okay? They couldn't get the food to the Gazan because the terrorists, Hamas, stole it. As soon as it got from the platform built into the sea into the mainland, the guys at the machine guns came out, took it all. Ben know that. Hey, Ben, you know that. That's why you can't get any food in there, because Hamas steals it. That's why they're starving now, the United States. Biden tried to do something. And of course it was a fiasco, because everything under Biden pretty much was a fiasco. The goal was to feed a half million people each month for three months. They didn't get any food in there to speak of. All right? And then it took a thousand US forces to evacuate the people who were in there trying to feed the Gazans because they would have been murdered. That's what happened. No reportage on it. Biden. Biden say anything about it? No. So actually, the intent was noble to get food to starving people. But Biden couldn't carry it out. He couldn't carry out anything. Nothing. And that's what happened. So when I hear this irrational stuff, and I said, I'm giving you one very clear example tonight, it drives me crazy because this is surging in America, this kind of crazy stuff. This is what's going on on college campuses. Oh, they're starving. U.S. government's bombing the poor kids they're starving about. That's what's going on at Harvard and Columbia. And if a guy like me walks in with a sheet of facts, then they're gonna hate me and they won't believe anything. And that's a memoir. All right, latest Harvard Harris poll run by our pal Mark Pant. Fair poll, 2286 registered voters. That's a big, big crew. Okay, favorability of Donald Trump as president. Approve. 48. Disapprove. 46. Right or wrong track of the country. Right track. 39. Wrong. 49. 10 point gap. Next question. Do you approve of the Republican Party or disapprove? Approve. 51. Disprove. 49. Finally, approve or disapprove of the Democratic Party? Approve. 42. Disapprove. 58. Big gap. Joining us now, Miami, Florida, is Mark Penn is the chairman and CEO of Stagwell, a global marketing firm.

Mark Penn
Well, look, you know, we interview voters and you have to be careful. Well, there are two things. One, you have to differentiate between the polls that tend to interview all adults because all adults tend to be more negative about everything and they, and so they're more negative towards all politicians than voter polls. We're a voter poll. The second thing is I made sure to readjust my sample after the election to make sure that it represents that the Republicans now are a bigger party than the Democrats. That was the result of the election. That's what Gallup found. And I think a lot of the other polls just basically had Harris winning and then stuck with their exact sample. We had it very close, within two points. Either way, we, we've made sure that our samples we believe accurately represent the country. And it's not like Donald Trump's in the 70s or anything, but he, he certainly has continued to keep his constituency maybe a little bit more. He's got some very high approval ratings on some of the policies, you know, he is pursuing and some things that people are not as happy with.
- [15:11]
Ryan Reynolds
Okay. And I'm a kind of guy that puts the polls into perspective as far as data is concerned. And you're an honor. You run an honest poll. I've never had a problem with Harvard Harris poll. I don't have a problem with Gallup. All right. McLaughlin is always very accurate and the guys in Brazil are good. Forget their names now. But they were the best on the presidential race. Do you believe that there are certain outfits that have their thumb cliche on the polling scale and want to deliver a bad poll number for Trump?
- [15:50]
Mark Penn
Well, look, I, I think you've seen the entire media, you know, gang up pretty much on the President and his policies. You've seen it. I mean, look, imports are only 10% of the country, and a 10% tariff on 10% of the country is 1%. And oh, my God, did you see dire predictions of complete economic collapse here? All right, tariffs, you know, may not be a positive move compared to tax cuts and may have some dislocations, but relatively speaking, you saw this vast exaggeration of their size and impact. And at the same time, it's the same thing. I think that you see in some of these polls, they don't ask the questions that they don't want the answers to. We're very clear people support taking those people who are here illegally and committed crimes out of the country. There's no question about that. They may not be for renaming the Gulf of Mexico into Gulf of America, but when it comes to the core immigration policies that the president is pursuing, that's supported by like 70% of the country, if not more.
- [17:06]
Ryan Reynolds
Well, I think, and you correct me if I'm wrong, because you know more about this than I do, but I've been around a while. When you are being paid to deliver data, you pretty much want to please your paymaster. It's a psychological thing. And if there are ways that you can do that, and you pointed one of them out by keeping an obsolete model, that the Democratic Party has a bigger presence than the Republican Party, when that's not true any longer. But nobody knows whether you're keeping that or not except you. And you want to get paid. You'll keep the obsolete model. That just makes sense, right, bro?
- [17:49]
Mark Penn
Let me say that the Harvard Harris poll is done as a nonprofit purely because I felt that newspaper polls were no longer reflecting the kind of more accurate polling that I did at the White House when I worked with President Clinton. Because, I mean, I went back and I saw, well, sanctuary cities. Would you think it's popular that cities don't pick up people who are designated as and committed crimes and deport them? Well, I found out that no poll had asked that question since 1978. Right. So a lot of the polls don't carry the questions they don't want the answers to. Now, I'm not going to Indict the whole profession. People run honest polls, you know, but.
- [18:36]
Ryan Reynolds
Your poll is a lot different than 80% of them. Let me ask you one more question. Forward looking. The media, as you pointed out, does have a tendency to try to panic the folks. You use the tariff example, the import example is very low. When the folks hear that and then they see a down day on the stock market or a down week, they do indeed panic. And that is reflected in the polling, correct?
- [19:13]
Mark Penn
Yeah. I have actually found that the voters are less sensitive to the stock market. They're mostly sensitive to the prices that they pay and to the unemployment rate. And those things very much directly affect politics. Look, why isn't Trump, you know, in the 50s or 60s, right? Because the most important issue right now is inflation. And people haven't experienced inflation coming down or prices down, even though gas and eggs are down somewhat. The President is off on a lot of other issues, particularly immigration, but also on tariffs on a number of these others. But the voters, I think, are really looking for a demonstration that the economy is going to be strong, that his economic policies are going to work and that they're going to. Their wages are going to grow faster than prices.
- [20:05]
Ryan Reynolds
Well, that's what he's, that's what he's trying to do, but nobody knows whether that is going to work or not. Mark Penn, thank you very much. We always enjoy talking to you and we'll speak again soon, I hope. Thank you. All right, let's go to Mexico. And you know, I feel about that country. So we are the biggest trading partner for Mexico. Mexico cannot survive without the United States. We buy their stuff. Millions of Mexico in the United States legally and illegally send money back to their relatives inside of Mexico. Tourism is the biggest, next to oil. And I don't even know what the Mexican oil industry does anymore. But without the United States, Mexico goes down. In return, Mexico has allowed drug cartels to, to kill more than a million Americans, all right, this century so far. And they don't constrain the drug cartels. The drug cartels are the most powerful unit inside of Mexico. They run, okay, areas of the country, Sinaloa, you know, a whole bunch cartels run them. They bribe officials. If you don't take the bribe, they shoot you and your family. Okay? The Mexican government had no control over them at all. None. Obrador was a disgrace. Now they have a new president, Gloria Sheinbaum, okay? She didn't have any control over the drug cartels. They run Acapulco. All right? I was in a Town called La Paz a few years ago. Cartel in the whole town, all the buildings, all the restaurants, all the bars, the cartel, you'd swim. There they were because they had the money. So Trump is trying to break the drug cartels and he has designated them as terrorist groups, which means the United States can hunt them down and kill them anywhere in the world or incarcerate them. Guantanamo Bay. I wrote a message of the day about this today on billoriley.com Shine Bomb is not cooperating with Trump in trying to destroy the drug cartels. It's shocking. Roll of tape. In one of the calls, US President Donald Trump said it was important for the US army to enter Mexico to help us in the fight against drug trafficking. And I want to say that's true. In some of the calls, he said, how can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the US army come in to help you. And you know what I told him? No, President Trump, the territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended. What a bunch of bull. You don't have sovereignty, madam. You don't run your own country. I mean, it's so insane that this century, more than a million people in Mexico have been murdered or disappeared according to a variety of human rights. They shoot mayors, they shoot journalists, they shoot anybody. You don't have any sovereignty. You don't run your own country. And Trump is handing you a card that would break these drug cartels once and for all. And all he wants you to do is cooperate with him. We don't even need your cooperation by US Law, by the way. We don't even need it. We can drone those people or send seals in to get them anytime we want. And what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Trump is being polite to you and you do this. Here's what our president said. Well, she's so afraid of the cartel she can't walk. So, you know, that's the reason. And I think she's a lovely woman, but the president of Mexico is a lovely woman, but she is so afraid of the cartels that she can't even think straight. That's true. She's afraid she's going to get killed. And that's where we are in this. And nobody else in American media will tell you the truth. I don't go to Mexico. You know that. I'm going to do more on this, on YouTube, on our YouTube special. We call it bonus. YouTube bonus. I'm going to get into the precise Stats and how horrendous this whole country is Mexico. You imagine if another country was killing Americans the way that fentanyl and heroin and cocaine are killing Americans and the government wouldn't do anything to stop it. I mean, we declare war on them. Wars have started for a lot less than this. All right, check out the YouTube thing. We'll give you the address a little later on. 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 a 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 mustel. Gene Wilder and Young Frankenstein. So I got to 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 looked at, 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. Trump. I got him a bumper sticker that said my other plane is Air Force One. He'll be the only guy who is going to be president. And slumming in 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 should start it then, right?
- [27:04]
Bill O'Reilly
Give me half your stuff.
- [27:05]
Ryan Reynolds
Bernie will go from there. And I don't mean any of that.
- [27:08]
Bill O'Reilly
Bad pomade on what's left of your head here, Biden.
- [27:11]
Ryan Reynolds
Speaking of bad head hair, I got.
- [27:12]
Bill O'Reilly
Him an 8 by 10 at William.
- [27:13]
Ryan Reynolds
Proxmire to remind them while his plugs are bad, William, it 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.
- [29:17]
Bill O'Reilly
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 are 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.
- [30:26]
Ryan Reynolds
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?
- [30:58]
Bill O'Reilly
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 probably, I don't know, I'd say seven, eight years ago, where 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, 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 leftist for the work, so to speak?
- [31:36]
Ryan Reynolds
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?
- [32:12]
Bill O'Reilly
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. 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 do 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.
- [32:43]
Ryan Reynolds
Was that a St. Paul moment? Was that a St. Paul, like lightning hit you or did that evolve over a period of time?
- [32:51]
Bill O'Reilly
It. 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.
- [33:12]
Ryan Reynolds
But here's my dilemma here. 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?
- [33:42]
Bill O'Reilly
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.
- [33:55]
Ryan Reynolds
No, for them, there is a. But remember, Kimmel was on the man show. Yes. 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.
- [34:44]
Bill O'Reilly
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.
- [34:57]
Ryan Reynolds
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.
- [35:18]
Bill O'Reilly
Nobody knows what Rumble is.
- [35:19]
Ryan Reynolds
Well, anybody under 50 knows you can 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?
- [35:56]
Bill O'Reilly
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. No, I didn't want to be pushed.
- [36:07]
Ryan Reynolds
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 was really the only one now at that level on hbo. And HBO is a very left wing organization.
- [36:25]
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, for sure.
- [36:26]
Ryan Reynolds
He goes to see Trump Maher and says good things about Trump. The vitriol directed at Mars. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Right?
- [36:37]
Bill O'Reilly
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.
- [36:49]
Ryan Reynolds
Well, he's not. Don't think he's coming over. He's not. Because he knows where his paycheck comes from.
- [36:54]
Bill O'Reilly
He's tipping his toe in the water. You know, he's Mar.
- [36:57]
Ryan Reynolds
But the things he's. He's a contrarian. Yeah. He's a country. Sure. But he'll stay where HBO wants him to. Stay. He will.
- [37:07]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah.
- [37:09]
Ryan Reynolds
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'll actually treat you better than Miller because I.
- [37:24]
Bill O'Reilly
All right.
- [37:25]
Ryan Reynolds
Made fun of Miller all the time. You let us know and we'll pop you right in. And we wish you the best and thank you for helping us out tonight.
- [37:32]
Bill O'Reilly
Oh, I had a great time, Bill. Thank you.

Air traffic control chaos. Newark Airport. Do not go there. There's a shortage of controllers, then there's all kinds of equipment breakdowns. And this happened under the Biden administration. I get it. But right now, if you go to Newark, listen to this, okay? In the past 24 hours, 150 flights are canceled at Newark Airport. 150 flights canceled in 24 hours. Don't go there. All right, here's what the current Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, says. Go, fellas. You know degree Cool Rush deodorant, right?
- [38:19]
Bill O'Reilly
Well, last year they changed the formula.
- [38:21]
Ryan Reynolds
And guys were mad about it.
- [38:23]
Bill O'Reilly
One dude even started started a petition. So guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they messed up and brought the original Cool Rush scent back exactly how it was.
- [38:31]
Ryan Reynolds
And it's in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under $4.
- [38:35]
Bill O'Reilly
So grab some and remember why its cool, crisp and fresh scent made it the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. Degree Cool Rush is back, and it.
- [38:43]
Ryan Reynolds
Smells like victory for all of us.

My name is Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. I was just talking to a friend of mine who said he hasn't been able to follow the news lately. It's been too much. It's too crazy. It's driving him crazy, and he's just checked out. If you feel that way sometimes, too, I think you'll really like our podcast, Politics by Faith. We take the main story of the day and we run it through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this? It's amazing, but it's all there. And then God tells us what to do. We don't even have to figure it out. The answers are right there. He gives us the answers. Politics by Faith. Please join us over there. You can listen to it wherever you're listening to this podcast right now. Politics by Faith.

I'm sorry. It's a full screen. That means I quote it. This was on the Internet. A government watchdog warned Biden and Buttigieg about failing air traffic control. Look at this report. They knew the air traffic control system was strained and still did nothing. Working with the president, we are going to do what no administration has done. Deliver all new envy of the world air traffic control system. All right? That's what Duffy says. Now, I told you three years ago about Buddha, Judge and the transportation situation. Go. People can't get where they want to go. There's no regulation by Pete Judah Buttigieg, the. The transportation secretary who is an affirmative action hire based upon his lifestyle choice. And it's a bad, bad situation. Now, this is like the border. So the federal government knows it's happening. The stats are there. They didn't do anything about it. Okay? Won't fix it. Buttigieg. Won't fix it. If you read my message of the day, billoriley.com I list a whole bunch of things that Biden, his administration, just wouldn't deal with. Just ignored it. Totally ignored it. And this is one of them. All right? So I run three corporations. I hire younger, younger people. I mean, everybody's younger than me, so I don't have much of a choice. And some of them very motivated and very smart, and I hire them like that, and I pay them pretty well, okay? But most of them are not. Number one, they can't speak. They can't articulate their thoughts. Number two, they have trouble concentrating, particularly when you're speaking to them. So spoken word, very difficult. They want you to text them everything or email so they can read it when they. When you speak to them, as I have to do. All right, Maybe they'll retain it, maybe they won't. And this is where the word miscommunication comes in, which is a fallacious word. Doesn't mean anything. You can look them in the eye and you can say something, and they just won't get it. Okay? Because they are addicted to the phone. Now, what I do, and this is smart life, is when I speak to somebody, not just young, but anybody now. And it's important I make them repeat back to me what I said. And I do it in a fun way, particularly if I'm ordering something. So just give me. Just repeat back what I said. And they will. Because once you repeat something back, it's in your mind because you hear it. Okay? So there's a new study out Gallup and Common Sense Media. 1306. 8 to 18 years old in the United States. Ready? Half of that crew spends 7 hours and 22 minutes a day on the phone or the computer. Are you kidding me? 7 hours, 22 minutes. The other half, at least 4 hours. So we are creating a nation of zombies of people who are totally dependent on machines and devices, who cannot think independently, who cannot understand basics verbally, and who cannot speak. That's just happening. Some of the urchins, the younger people, are getting around it mainly because their parents demand that. Like me, the mean guy. Okay, phone goes down. No phones at supper. Study time. No phones. Okay. Sometimes they actually do their work on the phone. So I got to monitor that. All right. But I strict in that. Not as strict as some. I didn't ban it. I didn't do any of that. I let them play their games to a certain extent, but I got them to go around that addiction. But now this is not good. Smart life. You gotta. You've gotta be able to speak. You've gotta be able to retain information if you want to succeed in America. Best word states. U.S. news and war Report. They always do this. Nobody reads that magazine, but I'll tell you what it says. Healthcare, education, economy, infrastructure, public safety, natural environment, fiscal stability, opportunities for residents. That's what it's based on. Here are the best. Utah, Number one. Yay. Utah. New Hampshire. Live for your die. Idaho, Minnesota. How did Minnesota get in there? A crazy left state. Nebraska, Florida. Vermont. Socialist state. South Dakota. Massachusetts. Washington state. Massachusetts and Washington. Very, very left. Okay, so I'm not doubting US News, but they're free to make up their own mind. I would live. New Hampshire. Okay. Okay.

Bill O'Reilly
Little cold.

Ryan Reynolds
I'd have to have a warm weather port. Florida. Already lived there. A little too hot for me there. Vermont, Beautiful. Even though they're socialists. Not a lot of them. Massachusetts. I lived there a long time. Loved it and they did. Crazy left. Didn't bother me. I don't know why. So. So those places I would. Here are the worst. One of the worst days. Here they are. Louisiana. I love the culture down there. I love the food down there. Alaska, beautiful place. Mississippi. New Mexico. West Virginia. Alabama. Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma. Pennsylvania. Look at that. The Commonwealth makes it into the 10 worst. I don't know why that is, but that's U.S. news and World Report. Not me. Okay, final third of the day is membership renewal time. We're running 88% renewals, which I think is top of the chart. Very, very high number. And we will have this week for concierge and premium members, a best of the news nation town hall, which is tomorrow night. It's two hours. We're not going to run the whole two hours on billorilly.com we'll cut it down about 30 minutes, maybe 40. And premium members will be able to see that, no one else. Okay, then I've got a special with Leland Vittered on Friday about Donald Trump's first 100 days. And it's just me and Leland. And we will post that in case you miss it or you beat dvr. Doesn't work or whatever. Just for premium members. So this is a good program. And if you really want to give your mom and dad a really meaningful gift for their days, concierge membership is very strong. And you get a free book. So you get both. You can give them the membership and the book, whatever book you want, or you can take the book yourself. Don't tell them that, though. But you know, mom and dad, Grandma, Granddad, concierge membership, when you get older, we have a big crew that will help you or answer your questions or do whatever you need us to do. That's a tremendous gift. And I don't think people think about it, you know, Know, I mean, it's nice to give ties and flowers and all that, but this is a thing that lasts for a year. And it's not expensive. We keep the price down. We've always kept the price down. And I thank you very much for watching and listening to the no Spin News. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you tomorrow.
