2014. Im not going to take this anymore caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. Why traditional america is poised to come back. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. I dont like to but john hole people. Cross back and forth when good ideas are on the table. Obviously some simply cannot break free of ideology but most folks can. However, the word traditional is inflex cybil. Im a traditionalist. That means it is my deep belief that the Founding Fathers got it right when they created the american system with the exception of slavery which Abraham Union soldiers corrected there are very few american traditions that do not admire that sets me apart from my fellow progressive citizens who want a brave new world and a brand new model for the u. S. A. It is easy to think the progressives are winning the fight. However their poster guide barack obama was elected twice. A traditional storm is brewing as the policies of the president falter. Not all of them but enough to wake up many sleeping folks. A striking example. Political correctness has taken deep root in the u. S. A. Few years back christmas was under fire. Some Major Retail Companies were actually ordering their employees not to say Merry Christmas. You might remember that well, the subject came up when i visited with seth meyers last night. You talked about the war on christmas. Yeah. You are sort of the paul revere on the war on christmas. We won. Christmas is fine and made it . I have been doing this 10 years. The only year we have not had a store that commanded its employees not to say Merry Christmas. Over. We won. Congratulations. Anybody can say Merry Christmas if they want to. They dont have to. Not like stalin. But im very happy. Thank you. Congratulations. The reference to stalin was that i shot people who celebrated christmas. I write about it in kill patton. Stalin invaded own atheist holiday father frost. A lot of frost in russia. Anyway, along with the christmas deal. Traditional americans have won a fierce battle to protect children. 46 states, 46 now have some semblance of jessicas law. Tough mandatory prison sentences for child molesters. Thats a big win. Even though to their shame, idaho, illinois and vermont continue to ignore the issue. As far as the war on terror goes. The media went wild over the t the folks solidlyg coerced support the limited use of enhanced interrogation when its necessary to protect american lives. Americansy not persuaded by the anticia campaign. All the polls say that support for the u. S. Military remains very high. Support for Less Government is growing. As voters demonstrated last election day. In fact, the only place where traditionalists are not gaining momentum is on the social scene. Gay marriage, a reality. Legalizing drugs, a terrible idea. Has some support. But unfettered abortion, not gaining ground. Even among young people. So, if a traditional leader emerges, he or she will find a country that is now ready to listen and, perhaps ready to return to the vision and discipline that created the greatest nation the world has ever known. America. And thats the memo. Now for the top story tonight, reaction with us here in new york city. A progressive and Andrea Tantaros cohost of outnumbered on fnc. What say you . I wish you were right, bill. But i completely disagree. I do. Wow. Shocking. The culture which is the driver of everything is progressive, its secular and air we breathe. Ache deemia, the media, hollywood, all pushing progressive messages. While they are Small Victories that you talk, about jessicas law, the war on christmas. They are antidotal and they dont matter in the grand scheme of things. When you are talking about the direction that the countries. Traditional voters, the one that you are talking about turn out in these mid terms. But barack obama was elected twice as you point out because the culture is moving in a progressive and the folks as you like to call them, the ones that watch this he show, there is a lot of them but they are shrinking population in this country. Bill, less people are getting married. Fewer people are getting married and staying married. And i mean this is a big problem. The family has completely decayed. There is moral decay in this country. Guess what. A leader, traditional leader could rally. A traditional leader who is going to rally who . Rally people who dont know which way to go. Which i think is the majority right now. I think its a minority, unfortunately. I cant believe this but im agreeing with you, andrea. We may lookalike and sound alike. Think alike right now. But, you know, did you make a really fair point. 50 of the voting block going to outnumber any other voting block is also the most ethic nicly diverse socially diverse, spiritual. Changing demographic, we acknowledge that. Thats why president obama won. They are also independent. What you are miss something these millennial people about had 0 and down i would say. They havent wised up yet they are starting to because of the economy. Graduate from college have to work in a diner, they are not happy about that. Diners are disappearing entity in this country. All right, andrea, wherever you have to eat. You know what im saying. Im literally writing a book about this right now whats happening with relationships with younger people. Young men because of feminism have been completely feminized. Dads are dufuses. Hold on, they are demoralized in this country. Men. Women are divorcing them. Hold on. Men arent getting married. People arent getting married. They dont have job. What is this doing to the culture you . Know who steps in . The government. Its why single women who are cleaning educated bill are having the government subsidize their sex lives. I see your point. Whoa. I think that the majority of americans, okay, look, we see what happens to the africanamerican precincts when they let go of the traditional family. Best example. The millennials see that. The millennials are in huge trouble. You cant provide for your family because you are working three jobs as a mother because unfortunately the Family Structure is broken in some demographics. Its not an economic issue. Its a responsibility issue. Talk about drug issues. All right. One of the reason why millennials are prolegalizing marijuana individuals are taken off the streets for less than an ounce of marijuana in certain demographics. Thats a myth. There was a study that just came out this week that shows less than 1 of people serving time in any prison would possession of marijuana, less than 1 . Lets get back to focus. All right. You guys both disagree with me and i like it. I like it. All right . But i think you are both wrong. But what has to happen is a politician with jfk type charisma. Sure. Has to arrive and has to say look what the progressives, look at what they have done. Look at dissolution of the family that you are writing back. Look what its done then im going to tell you all of the hollywood crap, all the internet garbage, people are going to start to say, you know what . He is right. That traditionalist politician is right and they are going to snap back. Im going to give you each 30 seconds. I disagree elections dont matter if the culture doesnt support it right now i dont see that leader that can step up there. More families are dependent on a government check. Listen, when the culture starts pushing progressive messages, the government is all too willing to step in and pay for birth control. And all these other things. Thats how you are going to live. These people are going to get fed one that. Look at greece. Traditional values. They are in the coffee houses all day. Last word. Traditional values anymore. We have to redefine what tradition means in america. No we dont. We dont have to redefine it at all. In your mind its Christian White men running the show. Thats not what i said at all im very inclusive. Millennials are profamily he. See what theyre. Very havent defined themselves yet. They are getting divorced lets than any other jerks. They are married. Hard to get divorced when you are not married. We will see what the millennials do. They still have time to make a stand very stimulating debate. Thank you.

Big policy change and prisoner swap with cuba. The castro brothers released allen gross, there he is in the blue shirt. They threw him in prison on trumped up charges. He looks vicious doesnt he that guy. That was five years ago, gross. Five years in a cuba prison for nothing. Three cuban spice released by the Obama Administration also announced that the president wants to normalize relations with people left the embargo on trade and travel. Lots of opposition to that we will see what congress will do next month. The prisoner swap reminded us of the bo bergdahl situation. The army, investigated what happened and it was completed in october. But now its the end of december and nobody knows whats happening. Were waiting for a Public Accounting of bo bergdahl. When will that investigation be released . When will youable able to show us there are charges that you broke the law because you did not formally inform congress. Thats not the case. As usual mr. Ernest did not answer the question. And he would not say when the bergdahl report will be released. Ed henry will join us shortly. With us now here in new york city. Colonel david hunt from washington. Lt. Colonel tony shaffer who has worked on the bergdahl case itself. What did you do there colonel shaffer . Based on my knowledge of the region and my work there i was asked to advise a couple of the different commands about specifically some options to bring him back. Bill specifically, there were three major primary options to bring him back. One of the three i was playing a healthy support role. Lets leave it at that. There were three. Let me stop you, there were three trade scenarios, there were three things they could have done, right . And you were trying to work that out. Not all of them involved tray. One of them involves my aspect which was not again a trade. Something working the issue obviously the one the president went with was the a billion to cut qatar trading the taliban. The report of the did he did i setter is he a trader. Did he collaborate . Why isnt he being released . We are a free society. The pentagon is not supposed supposed to be political. Why hasnt he been released . Bill, i understand that general doll, the investigating officer did a corrected job there was a existing investigation back in 2009. I understand he basically confirmed what was in that report. And effectively. What did he confirm . Well, based on the classified briefings have i had on the original report, he did i settered. Do i believe. So wait, again, you are saying tonight that you believe the current investigation confirmed that he is a did i setterrer; is that correct . The facts that are stipulated in the 2009 report, done by ncis, i hear was essentially confirmed by the new investigation. So that would be desertion. Where is the report . The pentagon is not supposed to be under the thumb of the Obama Administration. They did the investigation. Its now been more than 60 days. I think the investigation was wrapped up in august. But officially it was wrapped up in they are keeping it back. Yeah. There is no question. I think its going to get released i believe like january 16th. January 16th . I think so. Why that date . Its right about a week and a half after Congress Comes back. Put it on the friday. It gets quiet. It gets covered. As tony said, confirming the investigation in 2009 which he was a did i setterrer. Thats what you are hearing, too . Absolutely. Yes. He left a note. All the facts. So this report is confirming. That is he a deserter . Yes. The issue is going to be whether he is also going to be a traitor. They are going to give him less honorable discharge. He was given 300,000 in back pay they cant get back. Its embarrassing for the army and department of defense. Embarrassing for the united states. Embarrassing for everybody. I want to recap and be precise here. You are hearing that the report will be released on january 16th. Yes. The report as considerable shaffer mentioned will say the man deserted his post. Yes. Nevertheless, he will be allowed it keep his back pay at 300,000 because he was held by the taliban for five years. And he will get not a dishonorable discharge. He will get something in the middle like a general discharge, right . Yes. Thats what you are hearing . Yes. Would that be okay with you if thats the way it comes down, considerable shaffer . No bill, let me be very clear on this. This individual, bergdahl, did as much damage as private bradley manning, and his damage, bergdahls damage is more direct. People died looking for him and he gave essentially and let me be clear on this. I feel he gave aid and comfort to the enemy, the taliban and forced us to do some really stupid things. Its not going to be okay with you. Is it going to be okay with you . Of course not. No. Absolutely not. You believe there will be outrage in the military about it . I dont know the public are i mean fox viewers will. It probably wont get covered on the other networks. You know how they are. The military will be outraged. Outraged in 2009. And outrage now when this comes out. We will see how you guys, if your prognostications are correct. We wish you a Merry Christmas. Merry christmas. Colonel shaffers book by the way the last line makes a very good gift. Bernie goldberg has the 10 most important stories of the year. Gutfeld and mcguirk on the folks who annoyed them the most this year. Up ahead. Nobody told us to expect it. Intercourse thats painful due to menopausal changes its not likely to go away. On its own. So lets do something about it. Premarin vaginal cream can help it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. Premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderatetosevere painful intercourse caused by these changes. Dont use it if youve had unusual bleeding, breast or uterine cancer, blood clots, liver problems, stroke or heart attack, are allergic to any of its ingredients or think youre pregnant. Side effects may include headache, pelvic pain, breast pain, vaginal bleeding and vaginitis. Estrogens may increase your chances of getting cancer of the uterus, strokes, blood clots or dementia so use it for the shortest time based on goals and risks. Estrogen should not be used to prevent heart disease, heart attack, stroke or dementia. Ask your doctor about premarin vaginal cream. Thats why i always choose the fastest intern. R slow. The fastest printer. The fastest lunch. Turkey club. The fastest pencil sharpener. The fastest elevator. The fastest speed dial. The Fastest Office plant. So why wouldnt i choose the fastest wifi . I would. Switch to comcast business and get the fastest wifi with the most coverage. Comcast business. Built for business. What do you think the childrens entry into the u. S. A. , 75,000 of them, says about the country . Well, it says were incredibly generous. How is that for openers . Just about any other country would turn them away. And i worry about what this will lead to, you know. Its a big story. I think it just shows that the border is not secure. And thats diswrnchts absolutely. Thats a pretty frightening scenario. Absolutely. Number 8 . Number 8 is the missing malaysian jetliner, terrible tragedy. But a great mystery story. Number 7, president obamas Decision Just yesterday to restore diplomatic relations or to normalize them with cuba, after 50 years. Thats a big deal. How is that playing in miami where you live . Well, you know, there are two groups of miami cubans. The older ones and the younger ones. Older ones like when i first came down here in 1969, the older ones would have blown things up over this and think did blow things up in those days. The younger ones dont feel the same way. So,. Divided scenario right now . Yeah. Number 7, no, thats number 7. Number 6, ebola. Not just because of the tragic loss of lives in west africa. But because of the frightening effects it had had here in america. Number five is a biggie. Because of its implications. Vladimir putin and the destabilization of the russian economy. Who knows what putin is going to do next to try to get things right with oil prices. That will continue into 2015. Number 4, another biggy. Cyber terrorism. I fear that what were seeing currently with sony, not only isnt going to be the last. Im pretty sure of that, but may wind up being trivial compared to what else some foreign power may decide to to do. If they can do this with sony and cause this much havoc what could they do with the grid system, our power system. This is emerging as one of my big stories of the year because of the intensity of the destruction. And its going to be interesting to see what congress and president obama do. Cant allow north korea to get away with it. You cant. So, if they prove it, that they did it, then there has to be reprisal from the u. S. A. Against north korea. Has to. Exactly. And i am not trying to foment any crazy stuff, but if they decide to knock out our power system. Try to. Crazy people to do that or try to. Thats an act of war. That is an out and out act of war. What will president obama and congress do to north korea to send a message that if countries mess with us this way, all right . They are going to feel some pain. So it will be interesting to see. All right, you have got three more left. Go. Number three, doesnt need much explanation, ferguson and its aftermath. Number two, the rise, thats ferguson and the aftermath is what you are watching right now. Number two is the the rise of isis and the depravity of radical islam. Whether its chopping off the heads of innocent people or, as the taliban and pakistan did just this week, killing more than 100 children in retaliation for something the kids had absolutely nothing to do with. Thats depravity. And number one, because its a political story. That will effect the rest of president obamas presidency, the g. O. P. Tsunami in the Midterm Elections this year. Okay. And, of course, bill, of course, not only can reasonable people disagree on the list. But the order is totally, you know, anybody can disagree with that. Okay. What is ferguson tell you about the u. S. A. . Well, im troubled by the liberal reaction to ferguson. When people and have you spoken of this quite well. When Football Players come out with the hands up, dont shoot. Which apparently never happened. Thats troubling because people arent they dont care about the facts. No. They have just made up their mind. Very simply they have made up their mind that this is a racist country with lotted of racist cops. And an innocent kid in ferguson got killed. Now, its a tragedy that he got killed. But on that day, he wasnt an innocent kid. Thats for sure. All right, Bernie Goldberg, everybody. Happy hanukkah. Happy new year. All of that. Merry christmas to you. Merry christmas to you and your viewers. Stay out of the sundown there in miami. I will do my best. Plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. Gutfeld mcguirk on the human beings who annoyed them the most last year. Laura ingraham on the story she believes is most important for the year 2014. Hope you stay tuned to those reports.

Washington insider segment tonight busy evening so lets get right to chief White House Correspondent ed henry. You know, we used your bergdahl question to josh ernest earlier in the program. These guys just dont want to answer. And they got to know when this thing is coming out as you might have heard the date that the colonel put on is january 16th. We will see. Right. Even more vexing is the north korean situation. Now, does the white house tell you that they know beyond a reasonable doubt that north korea did this . They wont say that directly. Other government officials are making it very clear that the fbi believes that north korea at the least had a central rule. If it wasnt the regime itself, you know, doing it behind the computer screen they hired someone. They hired a team of people. Its obvious. Its clear. And they have been hesitant to declare what theyre going to do about it. Are there going to be sanctions . What are they going to do . Now does earnest get up there and go and to be fair, you have got to give them a little time to formulate the unintended consequences of whatever action they are going to take. Sure. Are you convinced they are going to do anything. Sanctions against russia. You are right. He took his time and now it looks like that the sanctions are hitting russias economy too hard to the point that it might boomer rang around the world. Yes, they deserve time for that what are they going to do about it . Obviously it seems more like being sanctioned. Sanctions . There is no sanctions. The place is isolated nobody does business than with china. Right. They cant force the chinese to do anything. Have to more than that. Thats why i asked josh earnst are we going to normalize relations with north korea. Under the theory with cuba. We basically said look, lets talk to them rather than isolate them where clearly he said no he we are not going to do that there is some key differences such as Nuclear Weapons and north korea. But the bottom line is, yes, there is no easy answer in terms of what to do to stand up to them. Got to do something. They have got it punish them some way or this is as goldberg said this is going to become an epidemic and they will attack all kinds of infrom a structure. So the president now, he is wrapping it up. Is he going to hawaii for christmas . What is he doing . He is going to be in hawaii for a couple of weeks. I think he is obviously exhausted after a long year. But also, pretty bruising Midterm Election. But the white house aids feel pretty good coming into the end of the year they think starting with that trip in china Climate Change deal. The economy has been picking up. The job situation. And they think the executive action on immigration, a lot of noise about it but so far, you know, he has gotten away with it. Its moving forward. Republicans talking a big game about stopping it next year. So far the president has gotten his way though. Is he going to have to recharge the batteries because there is big battles ahead. He gets a couple of weeks off and he goes to hawaii, the big island, i think thats where his home is not the big island, awith a awith a who he. I used to. This time im setting in for the great bret baier. Do you have enough pocket harvickys to get you through the week because we can get you some more. Im expecting viewers to send in pocket hankies as christmas gifts. Anchor for a week or so. Get 50,000 of them . Who is going to hawaii . Who is somebody has got to cover. Dan springer. Dan springer. Great guy. Springer is out in seattle, right . Thats where is he based. Is he in seattle, closer to hawaii than where i am. I should have put into that. Wouldnt that have been fun if i could have covered him. You or watters. I think if watters, this is my world. That would be pretty good in hawaii. We sent watters to hawaii and i dont think is he allowed back. Big year for watters. Watching you on the baier show. When we come right back. A segment not for the timid. If you are a blew ther you wont like it either. Gutfeld and mcguirk on the folks that anowed them this year. Moments away. Thanks for staying with us, im bill oreilly. In the what the heck just happened segment tonight, annoying people here now to tell us who annoyed them the most in 2014, gutfeld and mcguirk. Listen, here are the rules. You each have selected three annoying folks. Okay . Im going to pong back and forth. We can discuss it among ourselves. Gutfeld, you are up originally i was going to go with kilmeade because he keeps leaving his hair piece in the restroom to dry. Im going it say marco. The salad counter guy at our deli. Keeps using the same tongues are the tuna that he uses for other ingredients. You dont mix seafood with nonseafood. The ocean is the earths toilet. Eating thune tuna is eating someones disguarded sim wear. This is a personal beef. My vision was for you to get necessary makers. No necessary makers. Marco is the most annoying person . He is one of three. All right. Can you upgrade this a little bit mcguirk. My first choice that he is smaug, immature narcissist who i dont like pope francis. No, im just kidding. Cleveland browns quarterback johnny manziel. Give the kid a break. He is a little jerk. Rookie, posted upon to be the most mayton manning or tom brady. Shoots his mouth off. Only played one game. Struts around like a pimp never won anything. He won the heisman trophy, nothing here and thankfully. I just want he has never won anything. He won the heisman trophy. Thats something. Thats nothing in the pros back to you mcguirk. Back to you gutfeld. I have got to go with zach. Zach works out at my gym. Is he a machine hoarder. When you are at your gym there is a guy that does the circuit. That means he takes up four machines because thats his workout with no regard tore celebrities like myself who have to go places so. Now im forced to work out at home in which i have to use my own body weighted or the body weight of people i meet on craigslist which is kind of weird because you never know what you get. Sometimes they stick with drifter whos smell so anyway, its zach. Zach, what does he do . He goes to the gym and uses a bunch of machines. Does he work there. Works out. Just a guy. He is in great shape. Thats not enough. Zach . I know this guys and touches his toes in the steam room too, i hate that. Stop that, zach. Uses the blow drier in the worst place. I dont even know who that means. [ laughter ] now, do you have a second annoying person. I do yes. Who is that . It happens to be our esteemed new york city mayor de blasio whose real name is William Wilhelm he is a phony to begin with besides of being the girlfriend of al shopperton sharpton. He continue its to demon nice them. Lazy, shows up late for Memorial Services for dead airplane crash victims. Blew up a funeral for herman, a congressman from new york city because he was working out at a gym. So j does he know zach . Yes. Zach knows everybody. All right. We annoyed the mayor though. Watters showed up. He was annoyed by that. Fantastic job. Two down for you. The third one. I will give you one more chance. Another annoying person. The rutherfords. Typical family gate. Flight attendant giving away free tea pots. Annoys my therapy baby i carry with me which actually is an american doll. I have issues flying and i dont need to be blocked by large families and all of their stuff. Get on the plane and the Rutherford Family is blocking you; is that right . Its like. How many people. They are like the mayflower. How many . Usually four or five. There is three children, there is a mother. Do they goal follow you around. I believe they know where i live. They have been speaking to me through my fillings. All right. Gutfeld. Are we paying him for this. This is all volunteer work. You, mcguirk, have the honor of the last annoying person of the year. By the way the most annoying person in the country, it, of course, is al sharpton. Who is more annoying than al sharpton he makes Gloria Allred and nancy grace look like cuddly kittens. He is still full of bs this guy. Dividing this country. Forget the riots that he. I was going to point out. He never apologized. He keeps showing up. You may remember that last friday herald was on here. And told me that in the polls that sharpton is going to van Approval Rating thats good. First poll rating came out. New york city rating came out National Polling not good news. I dont want to break it now. I want to wait for herald to come crawling back. Geraldo is wrong, huh . [ laughter ] there you go. Happy new year to these two. And say hello to marco and zach for me. I will. Big fans. Stay out of the steam room. Laura ingraham on deck. What story has impacted her the most this year . I think we are going to get something cogent from laura which will be released. She is next. If you take multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a common side effect. Thats why theres biotene. It comes in oral rinse, spray or gel, so theres moisturizing relief for everyone. Biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. For most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. But theres a new card in town. Introducing the citiĀ® double cash card. It lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. Thats cash back twice. Its cash back with a side of cash back. The citi double cash card. The only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem onesided. The ultimate arena for business. Hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. The only problem with Conference Calls eventually they have to end. Unless you have the comcast business voiceedge mobile app. It lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions. Ive never felt so alive. Get the future of phone and the phones are free. Comcast business. Built for business. Back of the book segment tonight, week in review from the ingraham angle. Here she is from washington. Looking very christmassy miss laura. Thank you. What story do you deem most important this year. Bill, there are a lot. I think probably its going to be the g. O. P. Stopping of the democrats of the Midterm Election cycle. For a couple of reasons. When you look back over last year, year and three months or so, we remember all of the scatter walling about the Government Shutdown and that the g. O. P. Would never recover and that it was the end of the g. O. P. s chances to try to realign the country in the Midterm Election cycle. And pretty much all of that faded away. And the republicans came back. They won historic victories. Not just in the house and the senate, but in state legislators as well. Governorships that were deemed to be very vulnerable. That was a huge story. Let me ask you this. Yeah. Up top of the program, Andrea Tantaros both said that the election, okay, yeah, it was probably economics more than anything. But they dont see a come back by traditionalists in this country i dissented i think there can be a traditionalist come back if there is a leader that emerges heres what the progressives have done. Its not working out. And heres why traditional governance is better. Do you believe that . Or do you believe its far too late for that to happen . No, i dont buy into the pessimism and cynicism that all hope is lost and genies out of the bottle. Thats the same type of thinking that said, well, obamas election in 2008 and then in 2012 was a sign that the country had moved forever to the left and that there was a complete shift in realignment in american politics. Bill, remember after 2012 president ial election there were all these conservatives on television saying its over, were never coming back . And then a couple years later the country gives obama a 38 Approval Rating, says that the twoparty system in the country is not really serving the people. Poll after poll showing that the public is craving for something more. And i think something better. So, look so you agree with me i totally agree with you. Youre absolutely right. It has to be sold. All right. A jfkstyle leader with charisma. Look, i gave president obama a chance and i got a lot of hate mail for doing it. Yeah. That was just hate mail from me. That was just my hate mail. But you were on your broom circling my house at one time. Oh, watch out. Youre in the naughty category. You know, naughty and nice for christmas, you are now naughty. Cant do coal. Its global warming. Fine. I gave barack obama a chance to see what he had, all right. And to see this progressive new vision. And it just hasnt worked. It hasnt worked. Well, it never works. But the it never works. Bill, i think people should take a look at whats happening around the world, right. A lot of the polls and the changes in politics in britain and france, even places like sweden, switzerland, is showing that as long as you have a middle class, a working class, who are unhappy, right . Their lives arent really getting much better, we have a lot of people making a lot of money at the top. But the middle, the working class spirit, theyre beleaguered. The Independence Party in britain realigning politics in britain. Even though the european economys worse than our economy. You know whats driving a lot of that conservatism in europe is the antimuslim. The eu and immigration. And people are not catching on, look, if youre going to flood the zone with muslims cheap illegal labor or cheap labor. Working class peoples lives doesnt get any better, bill.
