You don't want to miss an episode. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. President Biden loves to say, here's the deal. But very often, the actual deal is nowhere near Mr. Biden's capacity to understand it. Take the Russian swap. It was maddening watching the TV pundits yodel. Biden left Paul Whalen behind. He's the Michigan man who's languished in a Russian prison four years convicted of espionage.

The sad truth is that Joe Biden has absolutely no leverage with Putin whatsoever. I believe Biden is tied with Rapunzel on Putin's fear list. So if Washington wants Mr. Whelan and basketball player Brittany Griner released from confinement, Putin dictates all the terms, take it or leave it. With no options, Biden took Ms. Griner in return for freeing a brutal Russian arms merchant who was 14 years in American custody. When a radio interviewer asked me why Biden abandoned Mr. Whelan, I simply said that short of war, the U.S. government cannot force Putin to do anything.

Trump couldn't even get Paul Whalen released. So that's the deal, and Putin gets the win. Although Biden gets progressive cred, because Ms. Griner is an African-American lesbian feminist, all the boxes. However, in the biggest deal sweepstakes, the welfare of America, America. Joe Biden is making incredibly bad choices. A few months ago, I wrote about the plan, which is attached to the deal. Mr. Biden is completely under the influence of the progressive left, which controls the Democratic Party through massive donations from the likes of George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg. The radicals have bought not only Biden, but Schumer

and Pelosi as well. There's little opposition on the left. to the extremists, no matter how destructive their proposals are. Think open borders. Most foreign nationals have zero ties to traditional America, so let's flood the zone with them. That fits right into the plan, which is to change America into a brand new green country where the federal government runs the vast economic engine and dictates who gets what. Call it eco-socialism. In order to make that happen, younger Americans and immigrants have to buy into the concept that the USA is and always has been a racist nation bent on harming minorities and destroying the planet by using fossil fuels.

That is the main play. America must disavow its traditions and change everything, including capitalism. No opposition is allowed, especially if you work in film, TV, or academia. The plan has been remarkably successful because the corporate media is largely on board and a weak president has no clue. Now, at this point, I don't know who's going to win the civil war. I didn't anticipate the Biden-induced border collapse, but I do know most Americans have no idea what the stakes really are, a tremendous loss of personal freedom. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.
