Ice cream or multi-grained bread?

you may be surprised. Also ahead, the truth about the FBI Trump raid. But first, a poll from NBC finds 74% of Americans think the country is moving in the wrong direction, the most ever. Just 21% feel the USA is on the right path. Six and 10 believe the country's best days are behind us. One third predict the state of the nation will get even worse in the next five years. Voter's biggest concerns, inflation crime, illegal immigration. President Biden building a security fence around his beach house in Delaware. The wall will cost taxpayers $500,000. The construction project, which began last September, was expected to wrap up in a few months. The deal is now extended until June 23, a delay of more than a year and a half. The White House claims the expense is justified,

because Biden spends most weekends at his Delaware home, which is true. But the administration will not explain the colossal cost-overrun. It's really absurd. Survey from the Institute of Government Studies, revealing the most deserted city centers in America. The group finds 40% of people who live close to downtown Cleveland, Portland, Portland, Oregon, Detroit, Chicago, and San Francisco will not go to those places because of high crime. felony rates in the Bay Area, for example, now double that of New York and Los Angeles.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update. Message of the Day. The accurate story about the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago. No American industry is more trouble than journalism media. It is now rife with incompetence and corruption, a largely destructive force that has betrayed its obligations. obligation to accurately inform Americans about events of importance. The federal raid on President Trump's home is a vivid example of journalistic dereliction. Here we have the most important FBI action in history because of its high worldwide profile and constitutional obligation.

You've got to follow the rules. Yet the reporting on the event has been shoddy to say the least. There are only two outcomes to the story. The first, the Justice Department has a strong case that Donald Trump committed a felony. If true, that would justify the FBI's intrusion into his home. The second outcome would be a disaster for Attorney General Merrick Garland in the Biden administration. No compelling evidence against Mr. Trump. No reason to use police powers to invade his home. It's one or the other.

Honest reporters and pundits must say up front that they don't know how the story will play out because at this point no one does. But if you read newspaper columns or watch TV news, you get a steady stream of ideological speculation. Maybe this happened. Could be that. An anonymous source told me, garbage in, garbage out. At this point in history, it is Garland, not Trump, who has the most to lose. The pressure is on him to justify the raid. So far, he has failed to do that.

His initial public briefing was shaky. The man looked frightened on nationwide TV. In order for Trump to face federal charges to be indicted, there would have to be a smoking gun among all those boxes of documents. If there is not, Donald Trump will go on offense against Biden and the Democrats using the FBI's abuse of power to gin up his forthcoming presidential campaign. That is not speculation. That is exactly what will happen. But back to the befuddled press.

No matter how preposterous, all this might maybe could happen, bilge, is the news agencies know most folks will forget about it when another inevitable story watches up on the beach. And in the end, it is the American people who are really getting robbed here. In the interest of true freedom, the founders wanted an honest, responsible press. They provided legal protections to ensure the flow of information without government interference. They understood that a free people must,

have honest information in order to select worthy leaders at the ballot box. But in today's America, that founding wish has been eviscerated by corporations that control the information business. And there is no maybe about that. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Four years ago today, scientists decoded the DNA from an ancient human finger found in the mountains of Siberia.

The 50,000-year-old bone provided new clues about the mysterious origin of our species. Here is the story of prehistoric man. 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs were wiped out by a comet, the size of Manhattan, which crashed into Earth. Free from fear being eaten by a T-Rex, mammals quickly spread over the planet and began to evolve. humans slowly develop from those animals. That's the evolution process. Researchers believe the first homil sapiens ran around the savannas of Africa about 400,000 years ago. Soon, the sapiens developed weapons, language, the use of fire, other tools. Humans then migrated from Africa into Europe and Asia. The life of prehistoric man was brutal. Communities lived in caves, constructed small huts,

protected themselves with primitive spears. The average life expectancy 25 years old. Many died from infection of the teeth or starvation. Many were killed by giant predators like woolly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and mountain lions. The infant mortality rate was 25% one in ten women died during childbirth. Half of all children perish before they reached the age of 10. For those who did survive, wild berries, tree bark, and animals cooked over fire provided food. 95% of the diet was meat from wild game and birds. And here's something else you might not know. Modern civilization is a direct result of a phenomena still debated today. Climate change. Ten thousand years ago marked the end of the last ice age. A warming planet caused the extinction

of many large animals as sea levels rose. They drowned. Humans then migrated around the world in search of food. They began to fish, plant crops, domesticate livestock. Five thousand years later, the first towns appeared in the Middle East, Baghdad and Jerusalem, which are still there. Back after this.
