But first, the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has issued subpoenas. to some of the most powerful figures of the past three decades, all to testify in an investigation centered on the, quote, horrific crimes perpetuated by Jeffrey Epstein. Among those, now under subpoena, include former U.S. Attorney General's Bill Barr, Alberto Gonzalez, and Jeff Sessions, former FBI director Robert Mueller,

former U.S. Attorney General's Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder, Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI director James Comey, former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and also former president, Bill Clinton. Trump said just a couple weeks ago, you ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island. Texas is on its way to approving the congressional redistricting lines.

Eventually, the Democrats will have to come back to the state. But California is countering with redrawing their lines. And where the Democrats in Texas will lose five seats, Gavin Newsom hopes that the Republicans in California will lose five of their nine. total Republican seats. But it's going to be a little bit harder in California because in 2010, the people of California voted to create a quasi-independent redistricting commission. So it's a bit out of the hands of the governor.

But the voters of the state would have to approve a ballot to sideline the state commission. The governor of New York, Kathy Hochel, says that they want to authorize new maps as well, but they can't do that until 2027 at the earliest. Tennessee executed an inmate the other day without deactivating. his implanted defibrillator, despite uncertainty about whether the device would shock his heart when the lethal injections took effect.

In other Tennessee news, a manhunt is now over in West Tennessee for a 28-year-old male who killed a woman in her three children. He's been on the run for a week.

On this Wednesday, one of the great cities in the world, Boston, is now heading down the same destructive path that San Francisco and Portland, Oregon took. Politicians are coddling drug addicts and barbaric behavior is the result. It's the same old story. A far-left mayor, Michelle Wu, imposing harm reduction on the public by giving away free needles as well as allowing addicted people to publicly inject narcotics and live on the streets.

Even swanky neighborhoods like Beacon Hill are now exposed to gross social disorder. Parents walking young children to school or to the playgrounds, often encounter a gauntlet of debauchery. Having attended college and worked local news in Boston, it is my second home. When I went to a Celtics game last winter, I noticed the stone zombies stumbling around the harbor area, which is a prime tourist destination. Mayor Wu has to see that as well, but she apparently does not care. So here's some real harm reduction.

Enforced drug possession laws, Madam Mayor, give the productive citizens of Boston a break. Protect the sensibilities of children and the elderly. Put your insane ideology in the glove compartment and do the right thing for a change. Is that too much to ask? I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine.

Okay, let's get to the mail. We got Ricardo, a concierge member. Ricardo is a direct pipeline to me. And if Ricardo gets in trouble, my crew will help him. Bill, great message of the day. Our country offers the best opportunity to get ahead and create wealth, but you must work hard and make responsible decisions. One thing I try to teach my children is every decision you make has consequences.

That is true. You've got a big decision. You've got to really think about it. And bounce it off somebody else. Joseph concierge, remember, we live in a most affluent country in the world. Some of our fellow citizens are totally clueless about how that came about. It's scary, but their votes count just as much as mine. Okay.

Jerome, another concierge member, and I don't just pick up them. These are the best letters. Bernie Sanders' net worth is about 3 million. Put some top 2% of households in the USA. So according to him, he's the problem. He's not a billionaire. Bernie lives large. I'll tell you that.

I'll do that before. Lynn, another concierge member. Way to go. He's racking them up. The problem with taxing the rich is who pay their fair share. No one has defined fair share. That's what I always ask them. That's fair share.

You know what, Lynn, in reality for the socialist, you know what fair share is? Everything. When you die. Glenn, Rich Creek. Fairfax, Virginia, why doesn't the United Nations send an armed security force to guard the food shipments? Because they'll be shot. That's why. Hamas will shoot at them.

UN doesn't want to do that. Anthony Zanferredino, Ridgefield, Connecticut bill. Someone in your staff can find out who in Congress is profiting off the stock market. And how would we do that, Anthony? Private information. It's a break into the house and look at their Morgan Stanley portfolio. In a moment, something you might not know.

You can listen to Piers Morgan Unsensored. on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you get your podcasts. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not know. 65 years ago today, communist dictator Fidel Castro

sees all private property in Cuba. That decision plunged the island into generations of poverty. Here is the story. Castro born in eastern Cuba to a wealthy family. The teenager embraced Marxism and took part in multiple attempts to overthrow the American-backed government. On January 7, 1969, Fidel Castro and his guerrilla fighters deposed the corrupt dictator, Batista, who then fled to Europe. Six months later, Fidel ruled the island with absolute power. his regime hunted political opponents, journalists, capitalists, and Christians.

The communist dictator confiscated all private property. The Cuban Constitution states free speech is only allowed if, quote, it is in keeping with the objectives of a socialist society, unquote. In total, at least 100,000 people died trying to flee Castro's revolution, most of them at sea. 10,000 Cubans were executed by firing squad, 2,000 assassinated in their homes. Cuban's communist policies led to widespread misery. Castro announced his retirement in 2008, died November 2016, 90 years old. Unfortunately for the Cuban people, Castro's policies remain in effect. State-managed salary less than a dollar a day.

There is no internet. The government issues rations for necessities of life, like milk, eggs, fuel. Apartments are allocated by the Communist Party. Homeownership is reserved for the political elites. And here's something else you might not know. Cuba currently experiencing one of the worst food shortages in the world. Can you believe it? Ironically, one of the hardest items to find in Havana is fish.

The government issues few licenses for fishing because they're afraid that citizens with boats will take off for Florida. And of course, many of them would. Back after this.
