Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News for Thursday, May 8th, 2025. Stand up for your country. Got a lot to tell you about on the tariff front with President Trump, but there's a new pope, so I think we'll lead with that tonight. I do not know Cardinal Robert Francis Provost, all right? He is from Chicago. He is a protege of the Cardinal of Chicago.  He looks like a good guy to me, from my initial research, but I don't know him I don' t know anyone who does know him because he hasn't been in America for ten years so he was the Leading Catholic cleric in Peru. In fact he holds Peruvian citizenship as well as American citizenship, two passports. Sixty nine years old, born in Chicago first American pope in history. I hope that's a good thing. He looks like a good guy to me, just watching his demeanor when he came out on the Vatican balcony and greeted the folks. And here's what he had to say.

"The pope who blessed Rome, gave his blessing to the world, to the entire world that morning of Easter. Allow me to follow up on that blessing. God loves us, God loves everyone."

"Evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God. Therefore, without fear, united, hand in hand with God and amongst ourselves, let us go forward."

I like the line, evil will not prevail. I like that line. So I'm going to send them a copy of Confronting Evil, my book that will be out in September. Now the new pope, if you don't read Roman numerals, he is Leo XIV, all right? My Catholic school upbringing, drummed that into my head. I got those Roman numerals. So he was active in the USA in the early part of his career, 1982 to 1985. And then from 2000 to 2014, the rest of the time he spent in Peru and Rome, and he had a good position in Rome, he was friendly with Pope Francis, who of course, was an Argentine. And Peru is right across the continent. Now, Peru is an interesting country, very poor. Um, not as destable as Colombia, Venezuela, even Argentina, and Brazil. But there's a big gulf in Peru between the wealthy and the poor. And I think you're going to see a lot of sympathy for the poor from the new pope. Now, he was educated at Villanova in Philadelphia, a Bachelor of Science degree in math. He's got to speak a bunch of languages. I know he speaks Italian, English, and Spanish. I am trying to track down the other language. He's 69 years old, as I said. And it looks like, from the just cursory view, that he is a good choice. Now, why should you care if you're not Catholic? Because on this planet, there are very few institutions devoted to try to spread peace on earth, goodwill to men. You don't have a lot of that going on, do you? And you can pick apart the Catholic Church. That's not hard to do. It's run by men. A lot of those men are evil, okay? And we saw that over the past few decades. But the theology is pretty solid, in my opinion. That's why I am a Catholic.

But we need... You know, some kind of tempering of the evil that we see every day. And the totalitarians, you know, like the Chinese, they don't want the Catholic Church. Putin says he's an Orthodox, Russian Orthodox adherent, but he's not. He's a murderer. He's a killer. And the Pope really can't do anything about those guys. If you read Killing the SS, you'll see what the Pope came up against when he tried to temper Hitler, and it was impossible. These bad, evil people, they override the good people, but we still need to hear from the good people. And that's why the Pope's story is important. And you know, if I find somebody denigrating my religion, I speak up. I don't let it go. And I know that we are a secular country. I'm not a holy roller. I don't proselytize on this program. I might tell you. Who I am, what I do, why I believe, what I believe. But I'm optimistic that this pope will be a positive force for humanity. And I think that's what we need, okay? And I'll have more on Monday as we delve into this. But I think it's a positive, all around, even if you don't believe.

All right, let's do the Talking Points on the UK trade deal with President Trump. So this is a fascinating story. As I told you, I talked to the Pope yesterday, Wednesday, the Pope, the President, the president yesterday, and Wednesday morning, and a lot of it was about the tariffs. And he's buoyant. He believes he's going to get these deals laid down. And I don't know How can I possibly know? All I can do is report what's happening. So today the UK and the USA made a deal that the president says is going to help our country with ethanol, beef, machinery, and agricultural products. We do have a trade surplus with Great Britain. That means we derive more money from them than they do from us, which is one of the few countries in the world, which is why this deal was easier to make, but it looks like a good deal to me, for both countries. And it sends a message that this tariff stuff is underway. The British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, he has a pretty good relationship with Donald Trump. And so I'm happy to see this because I want every American to prosper. I want our economy strong. I don't care if it comes to Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Barack Obama or Bush the Younger, I just want us to be strong. I want you to make as much money as you can make, honestly. That's my goal. Now, about an hour after the deal was announced, the Dow was up 650 points. We tape it before it closed, so the thing goes all over the place, and that's not good. I want to stable it down. I think in the next few weeks you're going to see a number of tariff deals. So here's what President Trump said today.

"With this deal, the UK joins the United States in affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an essential and vital principle of international trade. The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced by our great farmers."

All right, so good, right? Is there a downside? Of course, there's a downside to the people who hate Trump because they don't want him to prosper. They would rather see you suffer than him prosper. And just think about that. All right. So last night I went on NewsNation, Chris Cuomo, and Cuomo's taking the Democrat line on the tariffs that they have not helped the United States so far. It's only been a month. My tactic is wait, this is a total reworking of the American economy and so you can't make any judgments on it in a month, other than to hope it succeeds, right? Roll the tape.

"Bill, what am I saying that you don't like? Help me.".

"Everything.".

"Really?".

"It's like fighting the Civil War, yeah, it's like fighting a Civil War. Alright? First year was a disaster for the north and oh no, we lost, oh we can't do this we can't get, no. You have to let it unfold. Unemployment, as I told the Congressman Auchincloss is from, in the town hall meeting, it's 4.2 percent Consumer spending is still at the level it is. There's no need to cut interest rates, the Fed didn't do it today okay, the economy is humming along Cuomo and you're painting it as 1929.

"Oh no, I'm not, I am not painting it as 1929 at all. And the market is gambling. It goes up and down. I'm talking about the realities of small business and people who are trying to borrow money right now. They can't, Bill. That's the reality."

"4.2 unemployment is about as low as he gets, because layabouts aren't going to work."

"It's almost full employment, which is why this ties into a different issue known as immigration."

Ah, the deflection! Look, the economy, thank God, is pretty good right now. And Trump says it's going to be a lot better when these tariff deals roll in. I don't know. But you give them a little more time. But the Democrats don't want him to succeed. Now Cuomo's not a hater. He's not at the level of MSNBC, which is just a disgrace. I've never seen anything like that. And that's Comcast, NBC News. I know they're getting rid of it, but every blanking day, all they do is sell hate, hate, hate.

"It sounds like this is a marginal deal and that it's not that big of a deal when we look at. I'm curious to see the details of how much there will be in change compared to what we previously had with the UK. And then the UK officials also know that in order to negotiate the best deal for their country that they need to stroke his ego. And so that's kind of, I think, what we saw take place there."

It doesn't matter what Trump does, close the border, doesn't matter. Get a good deal with the UK in tariff trade, doesn't matter. Oh, no. Just attack, attack, attack. This is NBC, not some fringe lunatic website. And these people are paid to do this every day. Okay, that's the memo.

There is a polling outfit, D-D-H-Q, and this is the decision desk on News Nation, which call the presidential race first, they're good. And they have compiled the job approval ratings for Donald Trump here. They are as of May 5th, 45% job approval. 51% disapprove. That is 1% up from April, and down 2% and disapprove Now, I told you, and this is obviously fact, if the trade deals, the tariff deals come in, if the stock market stabilizes, if people's investments rise, then the favorability rises in conjunction. It's all about. All right, so the president declares today, May 8th, as Victory Day for World War II. Here's what he wrote. Quote, "The millions of souls sensibly lost serve as a reminder of why we must pursue peace through strength. I remain steadfastly devoted to stopping the years of endless foreign wars and preventing the further loss of lives. As I stated during my inaugural address, we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also the battles that we end. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker," unquote. And that is true. I know Donald Trump. I know what he wants to go down in history as, and he doesn't want this war stuff. Now, World War II for baby boomers like me is still pretty vivid because my father served in the Navy, and if you're a boomer in my age bracket, know a lot more about World War II than the average 30-year-old American who knows nothing. Zero. And doesn't really care.

Yet that war, as gruesome and ghastly as it was, shaped the way we live today, in almost every way. And so I wrote three books about this, Killing the Rising Sun, Killing Patton, and Killing the SS. All right, now what we have done because I feel this is so important, is take it 35% off if you bought all three of those books, you can buy them all together on a 35% discount. And we're obviously doing it in conjunction with Memorial Day coming up at the end of May. But these are important that you, if you don't know about them, or you have kids or grandkids that don't, and they're not boring, you can zoom right through them. Particularly Killing the SS, the evil that the Germans perpetuated on the world, is just staggering. And when you hear, you know, Trump compared to Hitler and all that, if you really know what happened, then you'll be outraged by those statements, it's so irresponsible.

So anyway, the totalitarians are back, and that applies to us right now. So Hitler, Mussolini, those people, they began World War II, they started. They wanted to dominate the world. Just as China wants to dominate the world now. Putin is just a maniac. Okay, I'm sorry. But if he could kill at the rate of Adolf, he would. He can't, he's restrained a little bit by the Soviet, the Russian military. But when you read Confronting Evil, my book that'll come out September 9th, you'll see his whole life. Putin's been violent, horrible. He loves it. He loves it. And Xi's a totalitarian, and the mullahs the jihadists are totalitarians. It's back. There's no difference. I got the ayatollah Khomeini put on the cover of Confronting Evil, throw that up there, I got Putin on the cover. I got the ayatullah Khomeiny, Hitler, and Mao. Inside there are eight others as evil as it gets. Okay, but I put those four guys because Putin obviously we're dealing with now. The ayatollah is dead but his hand-picked successors in there. Xi is a descendant of Mao. I mean, I don't think he's as bad as Mao, but is not that big a difference. So what we were experiencing from 1939 to 1945, back. But people, you know, okay.

All right, Joe Biden shows up on The View. My question, first of all, is why? 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 to the BBC earlier this week? What is this all about? I can't answer that question. I don't know. But anyway. Biden shows up on The View, here's a soundbite.

"So why do you think the vice president lost and were you surprised?"

"I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the Vice President was the most qualified person to be president, she is, she's qualified to be President of the United States of America. But I was surprised, I wasn't surprised because they went the route of the sexist route, the whole route. I mean, this is a woman, she this, she that, 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..."

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. Biden couldn't point to one. The ladies on The View of no blanking 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. 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 voters said, you know, I don't like the Vietnam War, I mean, 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 gonna 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 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. You can say what I just said. Give me one example of some sexism on the 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 an 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 gonna 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 Joe Biden, oh no, he's a great president.

Okay, Afghanistan, here's another one. Here's another one. Alright, August 30th, 2021, Joe Biden surrenders in Afghanistan, everybody runs out of there at his order, 13 Americans 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, SIGAR, S as in Sam, I-G-A-R, Sigar. This is a report for the Inspector-General. The Daily Caller website got hold of the report, and here's its analysis. Quote, "The threat of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is far greater today than pre-9-11. As the Taliban controls all of Afghanistan as the resources of the state has allowed al-Qaeda to establish significant terror infrastructure, including training camps, safe house, and religious schools. Al-Qaida 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 almost five years after the fact. Now, I am piling on Biden 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. 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 gonna have to fight a war that killed more than a million people because of Buchanan. Now, Trump is in and his first 100 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.

Mexico. So, we've been reporting that the president, Claudia Sheinbaum, doesn't want to cooperate with the Trump administration in military defeating the drug cartels. There is not one reason on earth why that woman should not cooperate in destroying those cartels which have destroyed her own country, but apparently, she doesn't care. Okay, enter Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. Who identifies as a Mexican-American. Here's what she said, go.

"So it's really sad because even dating back into the 60s, I remember hearing my dad tell stories about how my grandmother would bring him there for entire summers to see our family. And it was way different than it is now. So I would never set foot in Mexico unless I was on official business. And I would encourage Americans, until they get their cartel situation under control, don't send your kids."

Okay, and that's exactly what I've been saying for years, as far back as 2021. Here's what I said a year and three months ago. Roll it.

"I won't go to Mexico, and thousands of American students are going to spring break in Mexico. There were two American women killed there recently in Mexico, one OD'd on fentanyl. She had a death wish. If you go to Mexico and take fentanyl, you wanna die. And the other was caught in a crossfire in the Cancun area, Playa del Carmen, South. Why would you go to Mexico? If you get in trouble there, get intoxicated, whatever, nobody gonna help you, nobody. Why would go there?".

Okay, and you know, US tourism to Mexico is vital. It's like buying those Chinese socks that I wouldn't buy from Ralph Lauren in Macy's. There comes a point where you have to be some kind of patriotic, right? So if we got a country, just south of our border, who is allowing heinous things to happen, which Mexico is, now they moderated on the border, you got to give them credit for doing that. Sheinbaum did that, put the troops on the border, and that helped Trump. But the dope is still coming across in record waves. You know how long it would take for the United States military to knock out these cartels? Maybe two weeks. And they'd be gone forever. All dead. And they deserve to die, they're terrorist groups. Okay, so I applaud the congresswoman from Florida who's laying it out there, but, you know, China? China's not helping us. China's our enemy. You're buying their socks, shirts, hats. Does that make sense to you? It doesn't make sense to me.

Media Madness. Now I know, I do this probably every show, almost every show, I give you a media story. I want you to be honest with me, if you don't care about it anymore, and I think that might be the trend, then I won't do it, because it's my life, my profession, 50 years in the media. But if you've had it, tell me. Bill@BillOReilly.com, Bill@BillOReilly.com. Okay. So, as you know, President Trump is suing CBS News because of an interview. 60 Minutes did with Kamala Harris, which by the way has been, sorry I said by the way, which has been nominated for an Emmy because the Emmy people, all right, are hate Trump. So, of course, you nominate this. Anyway, a bunch of far-left senators led by our pal Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Richard Blumenthal, you know the gang. They sent a letter to Paramount CBS saying, Don't settle with Trump. Quote, "the lawsuit is an attack on the United States Constitution and the First Amendment; it has absolutely no merit, cannot stand in the United States of America. Presidents do not get to punish or censor the media for criticizing them. Freedom in the press is what sets us apart from tin-pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes.".

I believe that the Trump, lawsuit centers around election interference, not criticism of Donald Trump. I'm more than happy to see that case unfold in court, but it won't, because Paramount and CBS will settle with Trump. Why? Because they want to sell to Skydance, all right, $8 billion. The Skydence company has offered Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS,$ 8 billion. And Cherry Redstone, the head of CBS, wants that money. And that sale's not going through unless they settle, but Trump's got them. Media Madness. Remember, if you had it, let me know. We're here for you. How about the most dangerous states in the United States? You live in one, here they are. Most dangerous state is New Mexico. Not surprised, a lot of methamphetamine. Law enforcement is kind of weak there. Colorado number two, that's surprising. Louisiana, three, Tennessee, four, Arkansas, Alaska. Wow. Washington State? California, Nevada, South Carolina. They are the most dangerous states. I've been to all of them. I never felt in danger in any of them, but that's just me. Here are the safest states in the union. New Hampshire, number one. Live free or die. Maine, Idaho, Rhode Island, Connecticut, West Virginia, Wyoming, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. Jersey? What would Tony Soprano say? I don't know about Jersey, Northern Jersey, Central, and Southern Jersey are pretty placid. A lot of stuff going on in Northern Jersey.

Smart Life. Okay. It is important that you speak well. So if you go for a job interview, if you are volunteering, if you want to get admitted to some educational facility, and you cannot speak in a grammatically correct way, you are hurting your chances and your life. People judge you on two things when they meet you. How you look and how you speak. Smart Life. Now there are two phrases that lifehack.org, some pop website, has come out and explained, and I like these two. So a lot of people say 'I could care less'. That is wrong. The phrase should be, 'I couldn't care less'. Saying you could care less about a topic implies you do not care about it at least a little. What you usually mean is you don't care about the topic at all. Hence, I could not care less Second one is well and good. He did good. No, he did well. Good is an adjective. I'm not gonna read that. Take that off. That's a little pinheady. Adverbs and all that, forget it. Forget it, you don't need that. Good is an adjective which describes something. My lasagna was good. Not my lasagna is well. But when you're describing a state of being, how are you? I am well. Not, I'm good. Now everybody says, I am good. All good. All right. It's a colloquialism now. Don't worry about that. But when you describe something, it's good. When you're talking about a situation, it is well. How about that, Smart Life.

This Day in History, May 8th, 2021. Elon Musk appears on Saturday Night Live.

"What was I like as a kid? The answer is pretty much the same as now, but smaller. But we can also ask my mother, who's here tonight. Her name is Mae, like the month, but with an E at the end."

"Thanks for spelling my name, Elon!"

"Mom, do you remember when I was 12 and I created my own video game called Blastar about a spaceship that battles aliens?"

"I do. I remember they paid you $500. But you were too young to open a bank account, so I had to open one for you."

"That's right. Whatever happened to that bank account?"

"That's not important."

That's cute. The reason I'm running this in is, where is Musk now? So he's out of Doge, still got a little office in the West Wing, but he says he's only going to be there one or two days a week. He's most of the time in Austin, Texas, now, trying to get his company back on track, because boy, he took it. Associated with Donald Trump, you're going to take it. Okay. And he admits, Musk does, that the Doge outfit has not met the trillion-dollar dollar in wasteful spending and all that. They stand out now at 160 billion, but that's pretty good. It continues, and Doge will continue, but I think most did a good job there. Okay, got a good mail segment and a final thought you're going to want to hear. We'll be back in a moment.

Bill O'Reilly here, emphasizing the importance of a safer alternative in threatening situations. Before using lethal force, consider the Byrna less lethal pistol launcher, a device designed to incapacitate an attacker with tear gas and kinetic ammunition for up to 40 minutes. It minimizes legal risks and permanent harm. We hear from a Byrna user, Adam, who faced a road rage driver. Armed with his Byrna launcher, Adam deescalated the threat by aiming the laser at the aggressor. That allowed him to wait safely for police intervention. That night, Byrna not only prevented a potential tragedy, but also saved potential lives, all without physical harm. Byrna, legal across all 50 states, with no background checks required, has sold more than a half million units. Please go to Byrna.com/bill, save 10%, and learn so many Americans why they choose Byrna. That's Byrna.com/bill to save 10%.

So I hope you check out our YouTube channel. I'm gonna take on Stephen Colbert and Ms. Maddow of MSNBC. It is youtube.com/BillOReilly free. Why don't you sign up so you get all of our good commentary on there. Let's go to the mail.

We got Susan Underwood, Delaware, Oklahoma. "Bill, you mentioned all the deaths caused by Hitler and Mussolini. How do you feel about all the deaths caused by Joe Biden's leadership?" I'm gonna stop you right there, Susan. You can't make those comparisons. That's like comparing Trump to Hitler and all that. You just can't. Hitler and Mussolini, they're gonna have millions of people, right? Once you do that, then you lose all credibility. Now I'm saying this to look out for you. Gotta make the comparison valid.

Evan Ortega, Westwood, Los Angeles. "Countries including Israel, UK, France, and Germany allow trans people to serve in the military. This disgraceful decision by Secretary Hegseth is obviously driven by politics rather than military readiness." Okay, I respect your opinion on that, Evan, but in all the countries, and there are 30 of them, that allow trans people to serve the military, there are limitations. Can't be on drugs. Can't be on hormone blockers and things like that. I don't think any of them pay for surgeries except the USA. But that is the problem. And, but we want to be fair on it.

Janet Elaine Libet, Sullivan, Indiana. "We quit watching network news. We no longer watch it because most of it's not true." Very good. "We got tired of the Trump bashing. So that's why we watch the No Spin news. We care, Bill, but we don't know how to change the media." There's nothing you can do but not watch it. But my point is, are you interested in hearing about it?

DeWitt. "How much due process is enough? Didn't Mr. Garcia have a day in court when he was ordered to be deported?" He did not. He was deported on a roundup of criminal aliens in Maryland. He was under a judge's order for a claim of asylum. And DeWitt goes on to say, "how is it allowed to request asylum? I thought you only had to do that outside the country." No, you can request asylum here but there are ways to do it. And immigration lawyers know the ways.

Tanya. "I'm not a fan of Xi or Putin, but there's plenty to do in Russia for four days. It's a beautiful country. You can easily spend four days in Moscow or St. Petersburg." Haven't been to Moscow, been to St. Petersburg, two days. That's it. Big museum there, nothing else, pretty. But four days, no. Moscow's probably two days too. And Xi's not running around in a jeep, driving all over Russia.

Bill Craig of Ridgeville, Washington. "Been watching for more than 15 years. He recently said that gas prices are going down," and they are, big time. "But in Vancouver," Washington, right across the river from Portland, "we have $3.76 a gallon." Okay, I looked into this. It's because of the refineries. So Washington State, very liberal, as you know, has slapped so many regulations on the refinery, it's driving your prices up, just like California. Same thing.

Russ Ministeri is a cyber awareness specialist in North Carolina. "I watched the Smart Life segment about online safety. Want to thank you. Part about the text message scams really hit home. These are becoming very common." What I said was, if you get a text and you don't know who this text is from, saying, hey, you owe money, or hey, we got money for you, or you better do this, erase it. You open it, they're in, they can create havoc. So, thank you for reminding us, Russ.

All right, BillOReilly.com store. We got Mom, you're taking care of, it's Sunday, be nice to Mom. But fathers say we got two good things, really big things. Not Woke Dad, Mug, and Killing Crazy Horse together, very low price. It's one of our most action-packed books. Dad will love it. Or, we told you earlier, we get the trilogy of World War II, Rising Sun, Patton, and the SS. Or we now have the not woke mug and the baseball hat together for a phenomenally low price. So, come on, Dad, June 15th, these are great gifts for Dad. And if you want all the Killing books plus Confronting, we got them all in a big bundle. That's the best gift ever for Dad, if you really like him. Word of the Day, do not be morose. M-O-R-O-S-E. Back with the final thought in a moment.
