World Health Organization's leader. Quote, as you know, I was in China just a few days ago. I left in absolutely no doubt about China's commitment to transparency and protecting the people. As I have said repeatedly since my return from Beijing, the Chinese government should be congratulated for the extraordinary measures they have taken to prevent the outbreak. How's that? Is that amazing? The head of the WHO saying that? Let's look at Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, February 24th. Quote, everything's fine. Come to Chinatown.

We just want everybody not to be afraid to come to Chinatown. A few days later, a national emergency was declared. How about President Trump? When he said to the nation, the contagion will disappear like a miracle. Ahem. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, March 24th, I need 30,000 ventilators, he said. You want a pat on the back for sending 400, but New York State did not need 30,000 ventilators. It needed 5,000.

On April 8th, the White House, CDC, National Institute of Health, all predicted possible deaths due to COVID, would surpass 200,000 by the end of this year. That has been revised down. The estimate now, and it's just an estimate, 75,000. Then the CDC director, Robert Redfield, said, quote, there's a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be more difficult than the one we just went through, unquote. How does he know? Why? Why? I say that? There's no evidence of that. It's possible there'll be a vaccine by then or a medicine. It's just insane to do this kind of speculation. And then there is the king of speculation, Dr. Anthony Fauci, quote, I am almost certain it'll come back. The virus is so transmittable and it's

globally spread. In my mind, it's inevitable that we will have a return of the virus or maybe it never went away, unquote. Again, why say that? What good is that kind of speculation? The American people deserve much, much better. We all deserve facts and only facts about the pandemic. If you don't know, say, I don't know. I'm not going to speculate. That is the responsible thing to do. Hysteria, fear-mongering, guessing, all of that is blather. But the television news agencies don't have anything else. They're too lazy to go out and investigate what's really happening, what's really happening, so it's all fear-mongering or support depending on how they feel about President Trump. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by actually writing it in a moment

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, 65% of Americans hit movie theaters once a week. That figure has now dropped to 10%. Throw in a pandemic and the stat is closer to zero. It was already shaping up to be a bleak movie box office year. Then COVID arrived. Theaters forced to close. Tanking ticket sales. have show business looking at a $5 billion loss.

This year alone, it could rise to $7 billion. It's an incredible turnaround for an industry coming off its biggest decade. Let's take a look at the top grossing films of the past 10 years. Starting with Black Panther in 2018, $1.3 billion in ticket sales, topping the box office for five straight weekends. Next, 2015's Avengers Age of Ultron, $1.4 billion. Eighty-four million on opening day alone. You'll see plenty of Avengers on this list. Universal Pictures dropped fast and Furious 7, making a quick $1.5 billion worldwide in 2015, the highest grossing film of that franchise.

Disney, again, with two box office champs. The first Avengers film in 2012 raked in $1.5 billion. 2019's Lion King earned $1.6 billion. Amazing. Dinosaur is still bringing folks to the theaters. 2015's Jurassic World took in $1.7 billion in nearly 100 countries. The franchise coming off the bench after a 15-year hiatus. There's another one set for next year where production has been suspended due to to COVID. The top three biggest blockbusters of the decade belong to Disney. Avengers, Infinity War,

Star Wars, The Force Awakens, each cleared $2 billion. Number one film of the decade, 2,019's Avengers Endgame $3 billion at the box office, the highest grossing movie of all time. And here's something else you might not know, while many theaters are shut down. One kind of venue is thriving drive-ins.
