The White House unveiled the order to slow the spread of COVID two years ago, then extended it a few weeks ago to the end of May. However, a U.S. District judge said, quote, this court concludes that the mask mandate exceeds the CDC's statute. statutory authority. And accordingly, the court vacates the mandate. Almost immediately, mass at some airports stopped. Now, it is up to the individual airline companies, what they

want to do. In Washington, D.C., the mass mandate was lifted on the subway, but not in New York City yet. So there's a bit of chaos here. Study from the Conservative Media Research Center says news agencies continue to flee the Hunter Biden's story. In fact, ABC, CBS, and NBC News spent less than 30 minutes over 18 months covering the president's son, even though there is a federal investigation underway and there is a grand jury in Delaware hearing the case. Yet the corrupt media will not cover it. The number of U.S. households containing a mother, father, and children reaching a record low. New data from the Census Bureau finds just 18% of American homes contain a traditional family. That's the few is since 1959 and a 40% drop since 1970.

A judge in Kentucky awarded a 29-year-old man, 450. thousand dollars this week after his colleagues threw him an office birthday party. The worker sued his employers, the people who put on the party, because the festivities gave him a panic attack.

Are you kidding me? According to the judgment, he will receive nearly half a million dollars for, quote, mental anguish, embarrassment, humiliation, mortification, and loss of self-esteem. Is the civil justice system out of control? As Sarah Palin once said, you betcha. Here are the facts. The USA is home to the largest number of lawsuits on the planet. Forty million lawsuits filed last year alone, 40 million.

Legal experts believe 50% of those lawsuits are predatory or fraudulent. Gritty people and their greedy lawyers are trying to game the legal system. Major corporations like Walmart were sued 5,000 times last year. Lawsuits against the police cost taxpayers 300 million in 2021. 53% of small businesses are sued each year. Car accident claims medical malpractice the most common personal injury lawsuits. The total amount of settlements approved by the courts top $2 billion annually. Lawyer groups like the American Bar Association spend a billion every year on lobbying efforts trying to prevent any civil justice reform.

Lawsuits in the UK are lower than the USA because they use the so-called English rule. That demands that the party who loses civil lawsuits pays the other party's legal fees. The judge, however, has discretion over that rule. But it is a good rule. Now here, in America, any one of us could be sued at any time, and to defend yourself can bankrupt you. Lawyers charge hundreds of dollars an hour.

A divorce, for example, can cost hundreds of thousands of bucks. Most Americans don't have that kind of money. The lawyers know it, so they do everything to run up the bill, hoping that people will fold, and the corrupt lawyers will win a bogus case. It happens all the time. This is a corrupt system. So, Congress should pass the English rule, but give the civil court judges discretion. If it's a frivolous case, then the people filing it pay all the costs. If they lose, of course. If it's not, then you can divide it.

But we need relief in this country from these insane lawsuits. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. If you'd like more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

Today marks the anniversary of the worst domestic terror attack and the history of the United States. On April 19, 1995, a rental truck filled with explosives detonated outside a federal building in

Oklahoma City. The blast killed 168 people, many of the victims' children. The origins of the bomb plot started two years earlier in Waco, Texas. Here is what happened. You remember the name David Koresh, the self-proclaimed polygamous prophet? Well, he was illegally stalker. piling weapons for what he said was the approaching apocalypse. In February 1993, the federal government raided Koresh's property. There was a gun fight. Nine people were killed. That event started a 51-day standoff between Koresh's sect and the federal government. More than 900 law enforcement officials took part in the siege. On April 19th, Attorney General Janet Reno approved an FBI assault on Quresh's complex. One of his main buildings caught fire, burning to the ground

in less than 45 minutes. Corresh and 76 of his followers were killed. Right-wing extremists blamed the disaster on the federal government, and that included a 25-year-old Desert Storm veteran named Timothy McVeigh. On the two-year anniversary of the Waco siege, McVeigh, detonated a truck loaded with 5,000 pounds of explosives at the Alfred P. Murrah building. The blast ripped through the north face of the facility, destroying all nine floors. As mentioned, 168 people were killed 1,000 injured. It was the deadliest terror attack in USA history at the time. today it's second only to 9-11. Two years later, McVeigh was convicted on 11 counts of murder and using a weapon of mass destruction. The terrorist was put to death in 2001, the first person

executed for a federal crime since 1963. And here's something else you might not know. The manhunt for McVeigh didn't last very long because authorities already had him in custody. A few hours after the bombing, he was arrested. during a routine traffic stop for driving without a license plate. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
