Everything is expensive these days, you know that.

0:03

The government is printing trillions of dollars

0:05

in consumer prices higher than ever.

0:08

If the government continues its printing

0:10

and spending, the dollar

0:12

could continue its freefall and

0:15

lose its coveted role as the

0:17

world reserve currency. Let's hope that

0:20

doesn't happen. But there are

0:22

a few things you can do right now. American

0:25

Harvard Gold can show you how to

0:28

protect your money, your retirement, your hard

0:30

earned savings, against inflation

0:32

by helping you diversify a

0:34

portion of your portfolio

0:37

into physical gold and silver. Start

0:40

with a short phone call and

0:42

they can have physical gold and silver delivered

0:44

0:51

please call or text them right now. Tell

0:53

them Bill O'Reilly sent you. Call 877-444-GOLD,

0:55

877-444-GOLD or

1:02

text GOLD to 65532. Again,

1:06

that's 877-444-GOLD or text GOLD to 65532. Girl,

1:15

real talk. This whole it's

1:17

a new year, time to reinvent myself trash

1:19

is not the vibe for 2024. You

1:22

can find someone who loves you for you as

1:25

you are. You don't need to

1:27

read a stack of self-help books, only

1:29

eat sad salads or like start meditating

1:31

at 5 a.m. to be

1:33

ready for dating. So yeah, my advice

1:35

is to download Bumble and find someone

1:37

who embraces you the way you are

1:39

right now. Let me know how it

1:41

goes. Thank you. I'm

1:44

Bill O'Reilly. I'm your host, Bill O'Reilly.

1:47

Thanks for joining us. We'll be right back. Thanks

1:49

for joining us. We'll be right back. Bye. work.

2:00

I'm sorry I give you a schedule

2:02

every day and I have come to

2:04

the point where this man does

2:07

not work. Everything

2:09

is done for him and he's

2:12

running around now every day

2:16

collecting money for the Democrats

2:18

in 2024. Not since Warren Harding,

2:23

and trust me on this, not

2:26

since President Harding have we had

2:29

a lazier president than

2:32

Joe Biden. Okay,

2:35

now Dwight Eisenhower wasn't exactly

2:38

the Energizer bunny in there in

2:40

the 1950s, but he

2:43

was far better on the job than

2:45

Biden. Now that is the truth. If

2:49

you don't believe it, you don't want to believe it. I

2:51

can back it up 50 different ways. Okay,

2:54

but it annoys me because

2:57

we have so many problems in this country and

2:59

they're not being addressed. They're

3:01

not being addressed at all and

3:05

he's the leader. Oh,

3:07

it just drives me crazy and

3:10

now Joe

3:13

Biden is caught in a trap

3:16

as Elvis Presley once

3:18

sang. That is

3:20

the subject of this evening's Talking Points

3:22

Memo. So as you know, the

3:25

progressive base that

3:28

is the heart of Joe Biden's

3:30

support in America despises

3:33

Israel, always has.

3:36

They believe Israel is

3:38

a fascist country. The

3:40

progressives hate the

3:43

country of Israel. Here

3:46

is the leader of the Progressive Party. Go.

3:50

I do not believe we

3:52

should be appropriating over ten billion

3:54

dollars for the

3:57

right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

4:00

to continue its current

4:02

military approach. What

4:04

the Netanyahu government is doing

4:07

is immoral. It

4:10

is in violation of international

4:12

law, and the United

4:15

States should not be complicit in

4:18

those actions. Now,

4:21

that's absurd,

4:23

insane, but that is the

4:26

leader of the progressive movement in America, Senator Bernie

4:28

Sanders of Vermont, and

4:30

he is a big Biden supporter. So,

4:35

if I'm interviewing Sanders, I go, well,

4:39

you don't want Israel to

4:42

destroy Hamas? Is

4:44

that what you're telling me, Senator? You don't want

4:47

Israel to destroy that terror group? The

4:50

group that went in and killed

4:52

innocent civilians, raped Jewish

4:55

women, killed babies? You

4:58

don't want Israel to do that? And

5:01

then he'd give you some gobbledygook about international law,

5:03

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

5:05

blah, okay? But

5:07

the truth is that Sanders doesn't want him

5:09

to do it. Doesn't want

5:11

Israel to destroy Hamas. Does

5:14

it? No. So,

5:17

that's the progressive side. That's what you see

5:19

on the college campuses. That's what you see

5:21

in New York City, where

5:24

all these people are out there. Now,

5:26

they call it anti-Semitic. Some

5:29

of the progressives are anti-Semites.

5:32

Bernie Sanders is a Jewish

5:35

person by blood,

5:38

but I don't think he's anti-Semitic. He

5:41

just hates Israel. There

5:44

is a fine line there,

5:46

okay? So, Biden is

5:48

beholden to those people. On

5:51

the other side of the equation, Biden's

5:55

operation, his

5:57

money, his

5:59

organization, are

6:01

primarily Jewish Americans who

6:04

support Israel, some of them.

6:07

Alright, so this

6:10

weekend Biden's going to LA. Big

6:12

dog and pony show. Alright,

6:15

big fundraiser. You can give

6:17

the Biden Re-election

6:19

Political Action Committee almost

6:21

a million dollars. That's

6:23

the ceiling. Okay?

6:26

You can't give the money to Biden himself. You

6:29

can give it to the Political Action Committee. Now,

6:33

gonna be a big soiree Friday

6:35

night at the home

6:37

of interior designer Michael

6:39

Smith and his boyfriend

6:43

James Hostels. Okay?

6:48

So the people who

6:50

are going to be there form the

6:54

core of Biden's financial support. Here

6:57

they are. Jeffrey

7:00

Katzenberg. Okay?

7:03

Steven Spielberg.

7:06

Peter Chernin. Rob

7:08

Reiner. David Geffen.

7:11

Barbara Streisand. Jason

7:14

Alexander. They're

7:16

all Jewish. Okay?

7:19

So another guy, Reed

7:21

Hastings. We haven't found out.

7:25

He's of Austrian Jewish descent. He's

7:27

a Netflix guy. Fabulously

7:29

wealthy. Now, I don't

7:31

know if all of them support Israel,

7:33

but most of them do. They

7:37

don't want Hamas to

7:39

go unpunished. So

7:42

here you have that crew.

7:44

That's the money Biden crew. And

7:47

Katzenberg is running his re-election campaign.

7:49

Can you imagine a Hollywood mogul

7:52

running? That's what's happening. And

7:54

then the Sanders crew that hates Israel. And there's Joe in

7:56

the middle. That's why he so wishy-w That's

8:02

why he's, well, yeah, I just spent a

8:04

month, but you don't want to do this.

8:09

Don't do that. Don't do this. Don't

8:11

do that. Nedley. Now,

8:14

Nedley Yahoo, if he would tell the truth,

8:16

and he can't because he needs American money.

8:20

He'd throw Sanders,

8:22

right, Sanders, yeah, but Biden ran

8:24

out the window because

8:27

it's not go get them.

8:31

That's not what's happening. So

8:34

there's, this is a fascinating political

8:36

equation here. And

8:38

you'll hear this nowhere else but on

8:41

the no spin news. You're not going to hear this

8:43

anywhere else. Now after I do it and say it,

8:47

then you'll hear it. But

8:49

it's fascinating. Did you know

8:51

water heaters last about 10 years? Refrigerators

8:54

typically about 13. Every

8:57

day in our homes we rely on aging

8:59

systems and appliances. I do. That

9:02

means it's time to consider safeguarding

9:04

your budget from unexpected expenses. American

9:08

Home Shield has a solution. Pick

9:11

a plan that's right for you. And when

9:13

a covered item in your home breaks, contact

9:18

10:00

real talk. This whole, it's

10:02

a new year, time to reinvent myself trash,

10:05

is not the vibe for 2024. You

10:08

can find someone who loves you for you, as you

10:10

are. You don't need

10:12

to read a stack of self-help books,

10:14

only eat bad salads, or like start

10:16

meditating at 5am to be ready for

10:19

dating. So yeah, my advice is

10:21

to download Bumble and find someone who

10:23

embraces you the way you are right

10:25

now. Let me know how it goes. Okay,

10:29

next week in the House, there

10:31

is a possible impeachment

10:34

inquiry vote. Inquiry

10:38

is the key word. It's not a vote on

10:40

impeachment. It's a

10:43

vote to investigate going

10:45

forward on impeachment

10:48

in order to bring more power to

10:51

the House committees assembling

10:53

information about Hunter and

10:55

Joe and Jim Biden.

10:59

That's what this is all about. And

11:02

it will take every Republican,

11:04

nearly everyone in the House

11:07

to vote for it, as

11:10

Newt Gingrich explained. If

11:12

you're a Republican, you really want to guarantee

11:15

a primary opponent by voting

11:17

against it, looking at it. This

11:19

doesn't impeach him. This simply gives

11:21

Congress additional power to force the

11:24

White House to reveal

11:26

documents and to force people to

11:28

come and testify. Okay,

11:31

so I'm in the House. I vote for

11:33

this. I vote for the impeachment inquiry. All

11:35

right, I would. I'd

11:38

vote for it if I were a Democrat in the

11:40

House, but no Democrat will, because

11:42

if you did, you'd be shunned from the party.

11:45

Nobody would ever talk to you again. Republican

11:48

is not quite as tight. You might

11:50

get a couple of people, all right,

11:52

that vote against it. I

11:54

don't know. Now, if

11:57

it were a straight impeachment vote, I

11:59

would not. vote for impeaching Joe

12:01

Biden at this point. There's

12:04

not enough. There's a lot.

12:07

There is a lot. We keep

12:10

in mind the Senate will never convict him. Ever.

12:14

So at this point, why

12:18

bother with impeachment if it's going

12:20

to lose and there isn't enough

12:22

to convince the country and mass

12:26

that Biden benefited from his son and

12:28

brother's grifting. But there

12:30

could be. That's

12:33

what the investigation in the House is all

12:35

about because the justice department, the FBI will

12:37

not do it. Keep that in mind. How

12:40

shouldn't they have to do this? It

12:43

should be the FBI. No,

12:46

then I can do it. Okay. I'm

12:49

laughing, but I'm crying on the inside. Now

12:52

the media, which has still as influence,

12:55

not as much as it did, but

12:57

still as a, they're

13:00

full, a hundred percent cover for

13:02

Biden with the exception of Fox

13:04

News and the Wall Street Journal.

13:07

Okay. Those, and they're both owned by

13:09

Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch. Okay.

13:12

Every other media, corporate media is covering

13:14

for Biden. Roll it. A

13:18

recent NBC news poll showed 60% of

13:20

voters have major or moderate concerns about

13:22

Biden's possible awareness or involvement in the

13:25

business dealings of his son. Despite

13:27

the fact that even Republican members of

13:29

Congress admit there is no evidence to

13:32

suggest the president did anything wrong. Republicans

13:35

have spent months digging, including

13:37

through Biden family bank records

13:40

and still no credible evidence of

13:42

corruption or even really wrongdoing

13:44

by Joe Biden. Yeah,

13:46

there still is not the evidence. There

13:48

are plenty of questions that Republicans have

13:50

put forward, but no evidence and really

13:52

not even clarity on what the charge

13:54

that they would be focused on here.

13:58

Well, all three of those people with all the results.

14:00

are not telling you the truth. There's plenty of evidence.

14:04

It's not beyond a

14:06

reasonable doubt evidence, but

14:09

there's evidence all over the

14:11

place. You know, the big headline

14:13

of right-wing media today was, well, Hunter

14:16

Biden wrote his father checks to cover

14:18

a loan or whatever, and it's not

14:21

enough. She's not

14:23

enough. But there's evidence there, certainly

14:26

evidence that as vice

14:28

president, Joe

14:30

Biden enabled his son to go all

14:32

over the world and grift money. There's

14:36

evidence. So those people just not telling

14:38

you the truth. You know that, I'm sure.

14:42

So the problem then becomes, you've

14:44

got a hundred percent of the

14:47

Democratic Party not caring and not going

14:49

to ever do anything about Joe Biden,

14:53

whatever he did. Okay?

14:55

Not going to happen. And

14:58

you have the media at the tune of

15:00

90% that are going to cover for

15:02

Biden as well. So

15:04

it looks like he might get away

15:07

with it because of

15:09

the corruption of

15:11

the media which should be covering this

15:13

story the way they covered Trump

15:17

and Nixon. What a game, right?

15:20

No. So finally,

15:22

the Department of Transportation, that's Pete

15:25

Buttigieg, takes action against an

15:27

American air carrier,

15:30

Southwest, fined him $140

15:32

million for last

15:34

Christmas's meltdown. You

15:37

know, when we were reporting last year, I

15:39

told you, you just fly at your own

15:41

risk. Jet blue is horrible. Southwest

15:44

is a debacle. You

15:46

know, so now $140 million, it breaks down

15:49

this way. Southwest

15:52

is to pay the US

15:54

government, goes into the Treasury, $35

15:58

million in cash over three years. That's

16:00

like 12 million a year. Not going

16:03

to hurt Southwest bottom line. Okay,

16:05

so this is not what it means. Then the

16:08

other 90 million is put into a fund

16:11

anticipating other payments to passengers

16:13

when Southwest screws up again,

16:15

which it will. Look,

16:18

I told you this from the jump. They

16:20

don't have enough people because

16:22

they don't pay decent salaries. The

16:25

airlines in America, so they're hiring

16:28

people who can't do the job,

16:30

who can't even speak English. You

16:34

go to JFK in particular in

16:36

New York and half of

16:38

the personnel cannot make

16:40

themselves clear using

16:43

words. You don't know

16:46

what they're saying. Now I'm

16:48

not canceling aspersions on them. They're

16:50

hard-working people, but

16:52

they're not paying enough the

16:55

airlines to get professional people. The

16:57

pilots and flight crews are good.

17:00

It's safe to fly, but

17:03

they don't have any backup. So if

17:05

a pilot gets sick, forget it. Alright,

17:09

and if there's any kind of delay,

17:11

it spirals down. It's disorganized. They don't

17:13

know what they're doing, and they don't

17:15

particularly care, but maybe this will make

17:17

them care. Here's what Buttigieg

17:20

said. Quote, this penalty

17:22

should put all airlines on notice to

17:24

take every possible step to ensure that

17:26

a meltdown like last

17:28

December never happens again. Alright,

17:31

Pete, it took you

17:33

three years plus. No,

17:35

that's a little less than three years because

17:38

he got in with Biden on inauguration day.

17:41

A little less than three years to do anything, but

17:44

you did it, and I'm happy you did it.

17:46

Gotta send a message. Alright,

17:48

so crime.

17:51

A.H. Datalix.

17:54

I've never heard of this. It's

17:56

a firm that analyzes

17:59

crime's data. I don't

18:01

believe these stats, the

18:03

FBI stats I believe. All

18:05

right, so it says murders in the USA down 13%

18:07

as of December 7th, year to year.

18:13

Still a lot of murders but not nearly as

18:15

bad as 2022. Okay,

18:23

we don't have the exact number. The number

18:25

they threw out, this analytics firm, it's not

18:27

true. Let me give

18:29

an example. Go to

18:31

the FBI in 2020, last stats we have, almost 22,000 Americans

18:33

were murdered in 2020. And

18:41

this analytics firm has 8,000. No,

18:44

this is wrong. But

18:46

there is a trend of

18:49

crime dropping and

18:51

I'm not sure why. So

18:54

we're going to look into it. We're going to wait for

18:56

the FBI stats. But

18:58

disorder in the nation cities is at

19:00

an all time high. So

19:03

on November 13th of this

19:05

year, at 2.30 in the afternoon,

19:08

two NYPD officers approached three men

19:10

who were smoking marijuana at

19:12

a subway station in the Bronx. A

19:15

brawl ensued. I mean, we have it on table,

19:17

show it to you now. Okay,

19:19

so the three men attacked Officer

19:22

John Hernandez and his

19:24

partner, who I name, I don't have,

19:26

and they hurt

19:28

them. The officers were hurt. So

19:31

they arrested two of

19:34

the three assailants, Kareem

19:36

McClary, 23, Isaiah Jessamy, 20 years

19:40

old. The other guy got away. He still

19:42

haven't gotten them. They showed

19:44

up at court yesterday, these two assailants,

19:47

a charge with second degree assault

19:49

and it's a top charge in

19:51

New York. And

19:54

their trial was put off until the

19:57

end of January. Why? Why?

20:00

But. Here's the rub about the store. It. So.

20:03

The Police Benevolent Association P B A

20:05

Supposed to be sticking up for the

20:08

cops. As most

20:10

be raising awareness of how.

20:13

Difficult. Police. Work

20:15

as and at this point in New York

20:17

City and other cities as well. The.

20:19

Cops were in danger. Physical.

20:21

Danger. Use. Of thugs know

20:24

even if they spit in a cop

20:26

space curses the cop have pushed a

20:28

cop. Nothing was going to happen to

20:30

them. As we see now these guys

20:32

are out know bout. Okay,

20:35

So. The President of The. P.

20:38

B A New York City is a

20:40

man named Patrick Henry. Hey.

20:43

We've been trying to get him on his broadcasts from

20:45

us. Already will come on.

20:48

22:01

around for a criminologist

22:04

in this

22:06

area and we found a

22:08

good one. Dr. John Eterno,

22:11

he teaches at Malloy University

22:13

on Long Island. He

22:15

was a captain, retired a captain, he

22:17

NYPD in 2004. He joins

22:20

us now from Rockville Center. Did

22:23

I say your name right, Eterno? Is that

22:25

correct? Yeah, that's fine, Bill. Okay. So

22:28

you were on the job for 20 years,

22:30

I mean, and in the time you

22:32

were there, you saw the worst of it,

22:35

the crack wars, and

22:37

then you saw Giuliani and Bloomberg, two mayors,

22:40

pretty much turn it around so

22:42

that the bad guys were on

22:44

the run. Now it's

22:47

arced back to the bad

22:49

guys are ruling the streets. What

22:52

is the essential problem in New York City as

22:55

you see it? New

22:58

York City has a number of problems. First, I

23:00

think the mayor needs to get more behind the

23:02

police. His rhetoric

23:04

at times is backward.

23:08

He needs to stand behind the police. Judges need

23:10

to stand up behind the police, but most of

23:12

all, politicians. There

23:14

are a number of things going on in New

23:17

York City, one of them being the city

23:20

council is passing a bill that

23:23

they want police to record

23:25

every single incident. This is

23:27

just crazy. Every

23:30

single thing. It's insane. Let

23:32

me explain it, doctor. So the liberal

23:35

city council in New York, any

23:37

interaction that a police officer has with a

23:39

civilian police officer has got to go back

23:42

to the precinct and write it up. It

23:44

takes them off the street. NYPD

23:47

is undermanned as it is. And

23:50

Mayor Adams, who was a former police

23:52

officer himself, may even cut the force

23:54

down from here to pay for the

23:56

migrants. I mean, this is so insane.

24:00

when the police union won't

24:03

stand up and say, all

24:06

of this crazy political stuff is putting

24:08

our officers in danger, doctor,

24:11

can you figure out why that man wouldn't do

24:13

that? I

24:15

don't know. I didn't have to ask him, but in

24:18

my view, I can't ask him. This is something you

24:20

really need to advertise. You've got to get on every

24:22

program you possibly can and let people

24:24

know how difficult the job being a police

24:26

officer is, particularly in a

24:28

democracy. The officers are

24:30

the frontline of democracy at work.

24:33

This is what they do. And when

24:36

they get attacked in a

24:38

subway, something as minimal as

24:40

smoking, it's

24:43

something that's an affront to the public, not

24:46

just an affront to the officers themselves. This

24:49

isn't an affront to democracy. You

24:51

know, the officers in the street get attacked like

24:53

this. That's true

24:56

because the last line of defense, the

24:59

savages and the folks are the

25:01

police. Did you feel in physical

25:03

danger when you were on the job, doctor? Absolutely.

25:07

There were times where I've gone after people with

25:09

guns, knives, people that

25:13

spit at me. But today, it's very

25:15

different. But what I'm trying to say is, politicians,

25:18

politicians don't- At that point in time,

25:20

at that point in time, you knew you'd

25:23

get backed up by your union and

25:25

most of the time by the police

25:27

chiefs, right? Kelly and Brad and

25:29

you people. A hundred percent, Bill. Right. A

25:32

hundred percent. I never would find that the

25:35

people behind me would back me up. I

25:37

knew the union would stand behind me. And

25:40

most of the politicians, I'm not gonna say all

25:42

of them, but most of them stood behind the

25:44

police, particularly the

25:46

state. Many of these officers,

25:48

something like bail reform was just unconscionable.

25:50

People wouldn't even think of that. And

25:53

letting these two thugs get out on

25:58

being released. police on

26:00

their own recognizance. This is crazy. They

26:02

are violent, and it's a

26:05

problem not just for police, but

26:07

for the public and being safe, just

26:09

walking in the streets and walking in

26:11

a subway. We

26:13

don't have that protection that

26:16

we should feel from our politicians,

26:18

from our police leaders, from our

26:20

union leaders. We need that protection. We

26:23

need that. It's as difficult job as

26:25

it is. But not

26:27

to have that backing is

26:29

unconscion. It is. And then you can

26:31

go backing law. As

26:35

a journalist who covered this city for decades,

26:37

I've never seen this before. I've

26:40

never seen a union president run and

26:42

not stick up for his guys. You

26:45

can spit in the face of a police

26:47

officer now in New York City.

26:50

You can curse at them, push

26:52

them. You

26:54

weren't even being brought in for that. These

26:57

guys wailed on the cops and

26:59

beat them. And they were

27:01

in for maybe three hours, no bail,

27:04

out, doing whatever they want to do. So

27:07

you've got to feel, and this is the last question,

27:10

the people on the job, the cops on the

27:12

job, they know. Nobody

27:14

has their back. Last word. Yeah,

27:18

there is no doubt that police officers

27:20

at the front line of democracy, unfortunately,

27:23

they have no choice. They're out there.

27:25

It's a tough, tough job. And

27:27

unfortunately for them, they don't feel back. And

27:29

they need to feel that backing of the

27:31

public, of politicians, and

27:34

of their own leaders. And it's not happening. And that's

27:36

why they're all leaving en masse. Hey,

27:38

Dr. Merry Christmas. Thanks for helping us out. We

27:40

really appreciate it. Thank you. Merry Christmas, Bill. Right. OK.

27:44

Pure research, pretty good outfit. 1,435

27:50

American teenagers about

27:52

the social media stuff.

27:55

OK. How often do you

27:57

use the internet? Computer or cell phone? 93%

28:02

every day and 46% almost

28:06

constantly. Okay, that's

28:09

a lot. Obviously we all know this. If

28:11

you have an urchin or you

28:14

know they got this thing in their hand all the

28:16

time. Second question, do you have access

28:18

at home to a smartphone? 95% do. Laptop,

28:20

desktop, 90%. Now

28:26

the importance of this study

28:28

is masked. Okay, I'm

28:32

not going to be around. Many of you

28:34

won't be around in

28:36

25 years. Okay, unless

28:39

you know, but probably not.

28:41

Which is fine with me by the way. Okay,

28:46

in 25 years this planet is

28:49

going to be completely different than it is now.

28:51

Not for the better because

28:54

of the artificial

28:57

intelligence and the high-tech and the

28:59

social media. So

29:01

traditional ways to communicate, that's the

29:03

first thing that's going to go.

29:05

Speaking, I'm talking to you now, right?

29:08

To you. With words

29:11

and gestures, I'm a real

29:13

person. What I say

29:16

to you is true as far as I can

29:18

ascertain it. Gone.

29:23

Big, big, profound changes coming.

29:26

Okay, and it has all to

29:28

do with the internet

29:30

and now AI. Here's

29:32

one of the changes already here. A

29:35

third of public school students in

29:37

this country, 15 million

29:40

children, chronically absent

29:42

from school in the 21-22 term. Now

29:44

that's just

29:47

coming off COVID. Be

29:49

fair, but

29:53

it has carried through. In New

29:56

York State, almost

29:58

a million students are chronically absent.

30:01

In Florida, same number, almost

30:05

a million. Don't show up. California,

30:08

two million. Texas, a

30:10

million and a half. All

30:13

this demonstrates is

30:16

that parental guidance

30:19

is evaporating. In

30:22

my house, and I'm sure your house, 90% of

30:24

my viewers and

30:27

listeners. If we didn't go to school, that

30:30

was trouble. Big

30:32

trouble. Now, 15 million

30:37

kids in the United

30:39

States are chronically absent from school. Now

30:41

what's gonna happen to those kids? Some

30:44

of them will get out of it to

30:46

learn to be plumbers or something

30:48

where they can earn a living, but many

30:51

of them won't. And they won't be able

30:53

to compete because they can't

30:55

read. They can't do math. They can't

30:57

think. They can't speak. They're

31:00

covered with tattoos. They

31:03

use four letter words every sentence. And

31:07

that's not going to change, by the way. The

31:10

corporate structure and how you make a

31:12

living in this country, that's not going

31:14

to change. You're still going to have

31:16

to work. These people

31:18

are not going to be able to do that. Big,

31:23

big trouble. Coming.

31:26

Now, if you are a parent

31:28

and you are derelict and you're not paying attention to

31:30

your children, okay,

31:33

that is the lowest. That

31:36

is so bad. You pay attention to

31:38

your kids and grandkids too. Harvard

31:42

president's gonna keep her job. Board of

31:44

Trustees said, ah, no, no, keeping claudine

31:47

gay. Now, I don't care about claudine one way

31:49

or the other. I'm

31:51

not after her scalp. I don't

31:53

care. Alright, she is a

31:56

devoted progressive, woke,

32:00

person. She's everything that I'm

32:02

not, but I don't care

32:04

one way or the other. Now,

32:08

Harvard's keeping her for one

32:10

primary reason. Unlike most universities,

32:12

Harvard doesn't need any money.

32:15

It's got, I think, a $700 billion endowment

32:18

in a bank in

32:20

investments. It doesn't need alumni

32:22

money. It doesn't need anybody's money, ever.

32:27

And aside, the first president

32:29

of Harvard was

32:31

the top witch hunter in Salem. Do

32:34

you know that? Increase

32:36

mother, irreverent.

32:40

First president of Harvard, Harvard's first college in

32:42

the USA. Increases,

32:46

responsible for what happened in

32:48

Salem, 20 of them needs to be hung. When

32:50

I go to Cambridge, because I'm an alumnus, as you know,

32:52

of Harvard, I kind

32:54

of spread that around. Now,

32:58

will Dr.

33:00

Gay prosper as president of

33:02

Harvard? No, she

33:04

will not. College's

33:09

reputation has been besmirched.

33:12

And remember, it got the

33:14

lowest rating of any college in America

33:17

for freedom of speech. Harvard,

33:19

under Claudine Gay.

33:21

Finally, on this woman, there

33:24

are charges. They were listed in

33:26

a Washington free beacon that she

33:28

plagiarized her doctoral thesis. Charges

33:31

were leveled by a guy named Christopher

33:33

Rufo and another guy, Burnett.

33:37

Rufo is what they call a point of

33:39

view reporter. Now, I

33:41

try to get him on this broadcast, but he can't

33:43

be bothered. I don't like him, all

33:47

right, because I know what he does. He

33:49

comes out with something

33:52

in his mind, and he's going to prove it

33:54

no matter what. And

33:56

on this case, he's a conservative guy, Rufo. But

34:00

he's not looking for the truth, as

34:02

we mentioned earlier in the broadcast. Okay,

34:05

they're not looking at what's real. He

34:07

wants to slam

34:10

Ms. Gay. Now I

34:13

don't know what she did or didn't do. She denies it

34:16

that she played you right. So at the Boston Globe she didn't

34:18

do it. But she should

34:20

be afforded due process. Fair?

34:23

Harvard doesn't care. I

34:26

mean it doesn't. She

34:28

checks the boxes. She's

34:30

a black progressive woman.

34:33

That's what Harvard wants. She plays you

34:35

right. I don't care. We

34:37

ever gonna get to the bottom of it? I don't know.

34:39

But I'm not gonna convict her here. That's not fair. All

34:43

right, Christmas. Right? 13

34:46

days away. I'm

34:50

not listening to a holly-golly

34:52

Christmas. I will not

34:54

do it. You gotta have standards.

34:57

Okay? I did listen to Chuck

34:59

Berry's Run Run Reindeer today. I

35:02

love Chuck. It was great. No

35:04

holly-golly. I'm not doing it. Okay.

35:08

Anyway, travel. Smart

35:10

life. Listen to me. A

35:14

hundred and four million

35:16

drivers are gonna be on the

35:18

road in the next 13 days. And

35:21

pass that into New Year's week.

35:25

Drive at night. Don't

35:27

go during the day. Particularly if you live in a

35:29

big city. I

35:31

mean, you can't. You just

35:33

can't. At night

35:35

you can. Now you gotta check

35:38

the weather. You gotta take

35:40

a nap. You gotta be alert. You

35:42

gotta have stops, rest stops, get some food,

35:44

get some coffee, whatever it may be. But

35:48

believe me, you

35:50

will just save hours of frustration

35:53

if you go at night. 7.5

35:56

million gonna be on the airplane. Okay.

36:00

You have lost control of your life

36:03

When you get to the airport

36:05

you have no control the

36:08

only way to cope with this because you're

36:10

gonna be delays and some

36:13

cancellations is To

36:16

bring a book that you like, of course

36:18

the killing books are the best you

36:20

can get them on Kindle audiobook

36:22

in a little earpiece you got a regular

36:25

book and And

36:27

if you don't want the killing books get a book that

36:29

interests you Because that gives you

36:31

something to look forward to when you're just

36:34

sitting on your butt doing nothing This

36:37

is not gonna cut it for two three

36:39

hours. It's not All

36:42

right. This is all right for a few minutes and

36:49

You have to Basically

36:52

lower your expectations to

36:54

zero but if you

36:56

have a good book if you have something to read that

36:58

will make the pain

37:01

less and We

37:03

just want you to be safe Okay,

37:05

just be safe and just look

37:08

at the weather forecast look at where this where

37:10

you're going and that kind of thing But

37:12

it's gonna be the biggest travel in history

37:15

coming up. All right, Disney Raises

37:18

prices in Disney World Disney Land

37:20

poor kids can't go Disney's

37:23

progressive but poor children cannot go to Disney

37:25

World or Disneyland. It's too expensive. I

37:27

was gonna do more on this. I'm not

37:31

It just shows you the rank of you

37:33

figured they'd have maybe one day where the

37:35

price will be lower if you book in

37:38

advance All

37:41

right now we do smart life here almost every day

37:43

it's one of our I think Best

37:46

segments because it helps you it's designed to

37:48

help you in your life. You

37:50

love ones your friends everybody so

37:53

earlier this year late

37:57

summer early fall

37:59

stock market was imploding. People

38:02

were panicking. Most Americans hold stock of

38:05

some kind, 401ks and

38:08

education funds, whatever it may be. Most

38:11

Americans have stocks. Stock

38:13

market is going way down. A lot

38:16

of people panicked and sold. Smart

38:19

life, me, right,

38:21

said this, go, smart

38:24

life. Alright, we talked about this top

38:26

program. So the stock

38:28

market since August 1st

38:30

is down about 2,500 points. 2,500 points. This

38:32

is the Dow. Brutal.

38:41

Why? Because of

38:43

the political uncertainty. But

38:46

if you sell, then you lose and you don't, you're not

38:48

going to recoup. That's

38:50

what I'm doing. I'm telling you to do that.

38:54

But this is bad. And

38:57

this is going to be another factor

38:59

into the Biden re-election campaign. Bidenomics

39:01

is a joke. But

39:05

it's not a funny joke. There's

39:08

a lot of people, particularly older

39:10

people, their retirement funds are tied

39:13

into the stock

39:15

market. And we didn't

39:17

kill here because we have

39:19

an incompetent president and a challenger,

39:21

Mr. Trump, who is

39:24

volatile. So

39:26

I told everybody not to sell.

39:29

Don't sell. Hang

39:31

on. Because as

39:33

I quoted, if you

39:36

sell, you lose, you cannot recoup.

39:39

If you hang on and

39:42

things reverse, which they

39:44

have, you get your money back. I

39:48

hope you followed my advice because now the

39:50

stock market is heading toward new

39:53

highs in just a short period

39:55

of time. I don't know why. I

39:58

can't tell you why. I

40:00

know in January and February I might

40:02

get down another 3,000 points because

40:05

we have instability in this

40:08

country. Poor leadership.

40:12

We have a social civil war. But

40:15

the market might go up

40:17

another 3,000 points. No one can

40:20

predict. No one knows. So

40:24

the prudent thing to do, smart

40:26

life, your money, your future, your

40:28

family, I have 22%

40:31

of my

40:33

portfolio in the stock market. No

40:36

more that I'm not putting any more in. That's

40:39

it. The rest

40:41

are in municipal bonds, which are

40:43

insured. I'm sure

40:45

to get now not making nearly as

40:47

much money as if I speculated and

40:49

hit it. But

40:52

I don't want to do that. I'm a

40:54

conservative investor. I want my money

40:56

to be protected. I don't

40:58

put it under the bed. I don't think

41:00

the banks are going to collapse. I don't

41:02

think cryptocurrencies taking over. I don't

41:05

believe any of that. I'm

41:07

very cautious. And

41:10

it's my age too. I'm a younger man.

41:12

I'm taking more chances. Smart

41:15

life. So I hope you like the segment. We've

41:17

designed it for you. It's working very well. Okay,

41:21

here's the final thought of the day.

41:23

As you know, I'm a little royal,

41:25

little riled up about

41:29

the incredible jump

41:32

in pricing for

41:35

food on Long Island where I

41:37

live. And it

41:39

is brutal. Now,

41:43

in my town, there is

41:45

a luncheonette. We used to call it

41:47

a luncheonette. Yeah, but now

41:49

they call it, I don't know, a

41:51

diner. It's not a diner. It's a little

41:53

different than that. But

41:56

it used to be you go in

41:58

there for breakfast. whatever. Always a

42:01

little pricey because this is an

42:03

affluent part of Long Island. But

42:05

now, pull

42:11

rack of ribs,

42:14

$45. Now

42:17

they give you two sides, $45. I

42:23

don't know. Anyway, very high,

42:25

very high. So I'm watching,

42:27

and I like the folks in there.

42:29

I mean, I get the delis are

42:32

the same problem in this town. Everything's

42:34

doubled. Doubled. So

42:36

I'm watching who's buying this

42:38

stuff in

42:40

this luncheonette, all

42:43

right, restaurant. It's kids. Kids.

42:47

And they all have the debit card. So these

42:50

stats are a little bit old, but I think

42:52

they're accurate for today. 40% of American teenagers ages

42:54

13 to 17 have a debit

42:56

card. Okay. 45% of those make

43:05

a charge on a regular basis. These

43:08

kids are in there with their debit cards and

43:10

they're buying whatever they want to buy. It

43:13

doesn't matter what the price. They don't even know the

43:15

price. Their kids, they

43:18

want a burger, fries, they want an ice

43:20

cream, they want whatever they want. Mom

43:23

and dad are paying for it. They're

43:26

not. They got

43:28

the debit card. Now

43:30

I'm going. It's clicking into me. Okay.

43:33

Because this place is full

43:35

of urchins and

43:37

they're ordering big. They're,

43:40

they're getting the ribs. They're ordering

43:42

big. And I'm going, okay. So

43:45

that's what this is about. There's

43:48

no spending control

43:50

on this demographic. If

43:53

you have a debit card and you're 17 and

43:55

a high school junior or senior, you're going to, you're getting

43:57

whatever you want. you

44:00

know that well maybe I should get this or

44:02

get that or that no and

44:05

the merchants are taking advantage of that

44:07

they don't need old fogeys like me

44:09

and they're going what's this you know

44:12

what do you mean fourteen dollars for tuna

44:14

sandwich come on they don't

44:16

need that what they want are

44:19

the kids who go I wanted to do the sandwich

44:21

would you like a lettuce and tomato

44:24

on that well Jack in another couple

44:26

of bucks oh yeah yeah how about

44:28

some fries that's seven bucks yeah fries

44:30

and they give me they give

44:33

them the debit card the kid just goes

44:35

right out the door right home and then

44:37

mom and dad there they are they're paying

44:39

it that's what's happening

44:42

that's what's happening now

44:44

these urchins are gonna have a

44:46

really really rude awakening when

44:49

they get out of there and have to pay their own

44:51

debit card final thing

44:54

I know final thought I want to make my

44:56

kids had the debit card they almost

44:58

have to today okay but

45:01

I'm on a card and I look

45:04

and see what everything

45:06

is so at the end of the month

45:09

there's a little chat and

45:12

also my kids have to work

45:15

they work not

45:18

in this my daughter's working in the school

45:21

year she's a really

45:23

hard worker my son works in

45:25

the summer but he works this

45:28

is not some easy job all right

45:30

he goes and he and he earns very good

45:33

money out on Eastern Long Island but

45:36

and then their account is tied into

45:38

their debit account okay

45:41

so they have restraints

45:45

that's the way I've set it up do you

45:47

okay you want to be treat your all your

45:49

friends to ice cream

45:51

sodas you got four friends you're

45:53

all buying ice cream sodas that's gonna

45:56

come out to about 50 bucks all

45:58

right with all said and thought. So

46:02

you want to do it, okay, but you're paying

46:04

for it. And then you know how

46:06

hard you got to work for the money. That's the

46:08

way to do this. Now, in

46:10

the presidential election, I

46:15

am convinced the

46:17

main issue will not be abortion or any

46:19

of this other stuff. We're not gonna be

46:22

Hamas, Israel, it's not gonna be

46:24

Putin, Ukraine. It's gonna be the grocery

46:27

store. It's gonna be the local

46:29

restaurant because it's shocking in

46:32

the space of three years how much

46:34

all of that has gone up. If

46:36

you disagree, Bill at billoreilly.com, name

46:39

46:42
