Time now for the O'Reilly Update. Message of the day. After presidents, governors have the most direct power in America. They can directly control what happens to you in our 50 states. Here, in my humble opinion are the five worst governors in this country, in no particular order. Let's begin with Kate Brown in Oregon. She's been in office since 2015. We've all seen the destruction of Portland, Oregon's largest city. Ms. Brown has refused to call in the National Guard, has been soft on Antifa and Black Lives Matter violent protesters. has totally botched the entire situation. In addition, Cape Brown proposes raising taxes on Oregon business by $3 billion. Portland is a destroyed situation. Businesses will flee that town,

and now the governor wants to raise taxes on all business in all parts of Oregon. In Nevada, Governor Sizzolak has been in office only one year. But a few days ago, he and the state legislature, all Democrats, passed a secret overnight bill that would mandate mail-in ballots be sent to all citizens of Nevada without any infrastructure to control possible fraud. So we all all know how that's going to work out. Governor Sizzolak has had a terrible response to COVID, especially in Las Vegas, which is the driver of the Nevada economy, which is devastated, by the way, the entire economy of Nevada. Many people cannot pay their bills. So what is the governor doing? I don't know. In Washington State, former presidential candidate, Jay,

Inslee has been governor since 2013. Governor Inslee has stood by in Olympia, the capital of Washington, and watched across the Puget Sound the city of Seattle dissolved before his eyes. And what has Governor Inslee done? Did not call in the National Guard, did not ask for federal assistance, the police chief of Seattle quit, and Inslee did nothing. Washington State also faces a $9 billion. budget deficit. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo is a very smart man, yet he ordered COVID patients to be put back into nursing homes, resulting in more than 6,000 deaths. And Cuomo won't admit what he did. He signed an old bail law that has driven violent crime up in New York City dramatically. New York is the highest state in the union. More than a half million residents have fled New York City since April.

Cuomo is a disaster. Finally, the worst governor in the country is J.B. Pritzker, Illinois, in office for a year. Most pro-abortion governor in the country wants to raise taxes by $9 billion in a bankrupt state and is what Chicago absolutely disintegrate into violent crime. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by actually writing it. For more news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com and join our Stand Up for Your Country campaign.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. In the summer of 1996, a young 21-year-old musician from Mississippi hit number one on the charts. The song, Hound Dog, the man, L.O. Elvis Presley. Throughout his 20-year career, the King of Rock would rack up 18 number one singles and 40 in the top 10. Presley would sell more than one billion albums in every single format.

Elvis also appeared in 10 different TV programs and 31 movies. My favorite was clam bake, which is incredibly bad, but funny. Elvis, a musician, took a two-year hiatus at the height of his fame because he had to serve in the U.S. Army he was drafted. His time in Germany solidified his status as a worldwide celebrity. Sadly, fame destroyed Presley, and it started in the 1970s. Elvis overdosed on drugs twice in 1973. He even lapsed into a three-day coma in his private hotel room.

That was kept secret, nobody knew. The only person to treat Elvis was his personal doctor who was prescribing him 30 different medications at one time. By 1977, the young hound dog singer had gained 75 pounds, could barely walk without a cane, and slept more than 14 hours a day. In August of that year, the King of Rock was discovered on the bathroom floor of his Memphis home. He was pronounced dead on the scene at the age of 42. At the time, doctors reported the cause of death as a, quote, likely heart attack.

But of course, it was not that. He passed away from drug abuse. And here's something else, you might not know. According to Elvis's fiancée, Ginger Alden, the musician's final words at 2 a.m. were, I'm going to the bathroom to read. Her response, okay, but don't fall asleep. She would find the legendary singer, perhaps the biggest pop icon in history, dead 12 hours later. Back after this.
