Good morning. Mike Slater, filling in from Bill O'Reilly. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update morning edition about John Adams. But first, a word. Hey, I'm Mike Slater, filling in for Bill O'Reilly. On this Wednesday morning, I am thinking about a letter that John Adams wrote to his son. If you are paying attention to the world, and you are, because you're listening to the O'Reilly update right now, you of course feel, I don't know, uneasy to say to least, banks are failing. for instance. That's weird. Trains are derailing with toxic chemicals on them. And the Transportation Secretary says, don't worry about it. This happens all the time. Biden yesterday said it's sinful to not give puberty blocking drugs to children. The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about a Defense Department report saying that China makes most of the world's cranes that are used at shipping ports and they could be used for spying and possibly China

could just turn them off. This Chinese company makes nearly 80 percent of the ship-to-shore cranes that are used in our U.S. ports. That seems like a really dumb thing to have let happen. We could go on. It all seems very unwise. So I'm reminded of this letter that John Adams wrote to his son, John Quincy, in 1794. John Quincy was appointed to become the ambassador to Holland. So John, the vice president, wrote a letter to his son saying that George, Washington, wanted him to have this job and thought he was ready for it. And dad wrote out all the responsibilities that are needed and why I and the president think that you're the man for job and he ended the letter with go and see with how little wisdom this world is governed i love that
