But first, Americans without health insurance falling to a new low, 8% of us remain uninsured. That's roughly 26 million people. 66% of the American public have private health insurance. 28% are covered by entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid.

Each year, the federal government spends, $1.4 trillion on health care more than the U.S. military. Survey from Gallup finds the world's population more stressed out than ever. The polling outfit asks adults in 100 countries to assess their current level of happiness. 40% say they are deeply worried every day. The highest number on record. 45% experienced daily anxiety.

The highest level of sadness can be found in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria. The happiest places on earth, Finland, Denmark, Iceland. Beyonce apologizing for disrespecting the disabled. The singer's latest single included so-called abelist language like the word spaz, S-P-A-Z. Some listeners say that term is a derogatory expression for those. with cerebral palsy. Her label immediately scrubbed the lyric from streaming services, says Beyonce, quote, the word is not used intentionally in a harmful way. A study from the University of Georgia finds 75% of teenagers do not get enough exercise. A quarter of high school students

physically exert themselves more than 30 minutes a day. That's only 25%. and 20% of high school kids are obese. Researchers blame the inactivity on digital devices. Of course, the typical adolescents spends eight hours a day on their phones and computers. That's up from one hour a day just 15 years ago. In a moment, update listeners have their say right back.

Has it occurred to anyone that Joe Biden's soft on China and Russia is due to the fact that They can blackmail him with information on his family's money grabbing. Maggie, I would not be peddling that. It is a conspiracy theory.

We don't know that to be true. You can have an opinion. You can hold an opinion. But you can't state it as fact. It's not right. Janet Torrance, California. Hey, Bill, in light of all the COVID-Colm, cases amongst the vaccinated. I'm just curious what your opinion on the vaccine is now. Well, I am

four times vaccinated, Janet. I will not take another vaccine here. The federal government is going to open up new vaccinations in September. Moderna Pfizer said they have a new formula. Well, I'm not getting it. Unless I see some data on what exactly the new vaccine will do. I want to see it. Enough of this theory. It's not fair to the American public. Drew Wickenberg, Arizona. The Mexican drug cartels are as bad as terrorists. Why can't we use drones to take them out? because that would be illegal, Drew. What you have to do is designate the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups. President Trump was close to doing that, and I'm going to take credit or partial credit for this

because I sat down with him and spell that out. Under the Patriot Act, if the USA designates a person or a group as terrorist, terrorists, we can assassinate them under the Patriot Act. The reason Donald Trump did not do it was because the president of Mexico, Obrador, gave him a very favorable trade agreement. Obrador did not want the Mexican drug cartels to be waxed, and that says a lot. Alan Virginia Beach, I'm one of those that doesn't go in large bodies of water. I don't like the feeling of sea creatures being able to sneak up on me, given a choice I'd rather croak from a quick bolt of lightning versus being chewed up by a shark. Well, Alan, you're not alone.

A third of the American people will not go in the ocean. So, and you say large bodies of water, the sharks are not in lakes, okay? So you can go in the lake. But sea creatures, I guess, You know, there's some bass in the lakes. But anyway, everybody's afraid of sharks, including Jacqueline in Des Moines, Iowa. I don't get in the ocean because a shark attack is very much possible. I'm fully aware that it's not likely, but it's possible. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it is, Jacqueline, I guess.

Not in Iowa, though. I think you're safe there. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve the message by putting it together. If you'd like more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

He remained a national celebrity after that, appearing at the annual New Year's Eve special from Times Square. until his death in 2012 at the age of 82. And here's something else you might not know.

Early versions of the program denied black performers and black teenagers who would dance, but then Dick Clark demanded the broadcast be integrated and it was.
