Despite falling ratings, CNN maintains its grip on the nation's airports. An Asian-American group wants Jay Leno fired from NBC. The number of teens vaping marijuana doubles in the last 12 months.

But first, House Democrats voting to impeach the president, Mr. Trump, now the third chief executive in American history, to stand trial in the Senate, the process will be presided over by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts.
Starting point is 00:01:04 It is very unlikely that two-thirds of the 100 senators will vote to remove the president. A new survey from AARP says 95% of women over 50 plan on voting in 2020, but seven in 10 are undecided as to what party they will support. Health care, the most important, issue at 70% saying old Americans pay too much, and they're not happy about it. Despite the low ratings, CNN maintains its grip on America's airports. You see the TV sets. The channel is in 58 major hubs around the country, reaching 329 million travelers each year. That market doesn't come cheap. For example, the network pays Miami-Dade Airport $150,000 every year to keep the TV's tune to CNN, and they pay the other airports as well. An Asian-American group demanding NBC severed ties
Starting point is 00:02:08 with Jay Leno. They say the comedian has a pattern of denigrating Asian people. A controversy started when Mr. Leno joked about Asians eating dog meat while appearing on America's Got Talent. The number of teams vaping pot rising fast. 2018, 70% of high schoolers admitted using the devices in the past 30 days. A number is now 14% a double. The CDC reports that 2,400 people have been hospitalized from vaping, causing 52 deaths. In a moment, impeachment. Will it actually help Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:02:49 Right back with that. Deborah's home was stolen. I don't mean thieves. stole stuff. I mean, scammers literally stole her home. The FBI calls home title theft one of the fastest growing white collar crimes. This story is why you need home title lock. Deborah says, quote, criminals found the title to our home online and filed fraudulent documents claiming they owned it. And it gets worse. Deborah, quote, I was evicted from my own home and 85 grand in equity gone. Nobody believes you can get your home stolen this easily, unquote.

Hometitlelock.com. Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the day the fallout from impeachment. The high tide line for the quote, resistance has now been reached. The House voting to impeach President Trump was it. Now the hysteria will recede as the Senate will banish the contrived action in January. After the
Starting point is 00:04:24 that the folks will move ahead, but impeachment will likely damage the Democratic Party, in my opinion, come election time. As many Americans realize, the whole thing was unfair. My analysis comes as a historian, not as a pundit. All presidents have executive privilege, which means they can legally fight congressional subpoenas. Thus, the obstruction of Congressional. charge is bogus, and a federal court would throw it right out if it got to that. The Democrats in the House know this, but don't care, because it's all about public relations. President Trump bad, Democrats, good. But it may not turn out that way. As for the abuse of power charge, that could have been lodged against every single chief executive who has ever served.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Think JFK and the Bay of Pigs. Consider George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq. Contemplate Abraham Lincoln suspending habeas corpus. How about Barack Obama, misleading Americans about federally funded health care? Again, Democrats know all this. Senator Charles Schumer, the minority leader, is even insisting that the Senate call witnesses in the impeachment case, even though the Constitution clearly states that the Senate's job is to decide the validity of charges brought to it by the House. The Senate is not supposed to
Starting point is 00:06:17 investigate anything. That is the job of the House of Representatives. Again, Chuck Schumer knows that they just want to create as much chaos as they can. I'm talking about the Democrats for the Trump administration. Now, 21 years ago today, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House. The charges were lying to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. Mr. Clinton was acquitted in the Senate trial, 55 senators voting not to remove him from office, 55. That included a number of Republicans. In the Trump impeachment, not one Republican in the House voted yes, not one. So what does this tell us as Americans? It says that this is a partisan play that the resistance, many in the Democratic Party, and even some independence,
Starting point is 00:07:23 despise Donald Trump so much they will use anything and everything to hurt him. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by actually writing it.
