Bill O'Reilly here Thursday, December 5th, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. The Democrats' impeachment drive continues. One witness mocks Baron Trump, the president's son. George Zimmerman sues Trayvon Martin's family for $100 million. New study finds a shocking amount of sugar in a Starbucks drink. Also, do you read books anymore? Do you buy records? Are there even records? But first, the House

impeachment probe now moves to Gerald Nadler's Judiciary Committee, the panel meeting with legal scholars to bash President Trump. Nancy Pelosi is asking that the House refer articles of impeachment immediately. Americans largely tuning out of the whole exercise. Stanford law professor Pamela Carlin mocked President Trump's youngest son to damage the president. The lawyer telling the committee the U.S. Constitution prevents the chief executive from creating a baron, which is, of course, the boy's name. Republican Congressman Matt Gates confronting that professor on live TV, saying the use of a 13-year-old to attack the president is simply mean. Melania Trump, the first lady, defending her son on social media, adding, quote, every child deserves privacy and protection, and that

Carlin should be ashamed of her actions. The professor has donated thousands of dollars to Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. She did eventually apologize for the barren situation. George Zimmerman, remember him? filing a lawsuit against the family of Trayvon Martin for $100 million, Zimmerman acquitted in 2012 for killing the teenager, sparking protest nationwide. Lawyers claim the entire case was premised on false testimony and has ruined Zimmerman's life, but this lawsuit seems to be cruel to many observers. New study out of the UK finding a huge amount of sugar in a Starbucks drink. According to scientists, the coffee shop's 20 ounce signature caramel hot chocolate contains

23 teaspoons of sugar. That's more than 780 calories. Don't feel like spending 90 minutes on a treadmill to burn it off? Try a regular cup of coffee black. Two calories.

As I write this commentary, my latest book, The United States of Trump, is ranked number 15.

on Amazon, the biggest bookseller in the world. But here's the thing. There are only five real books in front of me. And again, I'm at 56. The rest of the top 50 are kids books, cook books, diet tomes, and self-help things. The most popular book in the country right now? 100 recipes to live to 100. Begging the question, why would anyone want to do that? I mean, ancient is tough, very difficult.

I would buy a book entitled, Eat Like This, and You Will Die Happy Around Age 85. That's a book I'd like to read. The second biggest selling book, according to Amazon, is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wrecking Ball. The Wimpy Kid series is fabulously successful. because we are living in an age where wimpy kids rule. The wimpier they are, the more their moms like them, for some reason. The third book on the bestseller list is Dogman from the Creator of Captain Underpants. Now, if this isn't an indicator of the collapse of American culture, I don't know what is. How exactly did Mr. Underpants get promoted to Captain?

What ethnicity is the last name, Underpants, anyway? Scandinavian? Dogman, I understand. Captain Underpants? No. The fact that real books with actual plots and facts do not sell is depressing, especially to a guy who writes those kinds of books. But that's what's happening. Like music, movies, and television. The publishing industry is on the verge of collapse. That's because of the machines, the smartphones, which can dial up all kinds of diversions in seconds. Why read a book when you can YouTube or Instagram? The Romans had their bread and circuses. We have Instagram and Google. Think about it. Americans are now opting for easy. The smartphone has everything. All you need is a thumb. And if that gets tired, turn on the TV. Streaming. Books, music. Forget it. That's too hard. Go to a bookstore, which are dying out, by the way. I don't even know any music stores. And earlier this year, Paul McCartney and Barb Stryson, both musical icons, put out new music, nobody bought it. Even TV shows, Hawaii

50. They got to go back to Hawaii 5O. Older people in America are the only ones hanging tough. They buy some books, a few books, they read them, they watch standard TV, they might even go out to the movie theater. But younger Americans, forget it. It's all in the smartphone, and that's not very smart. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approved that message by writing it.

The Walt Disney Company is one of the largest media conglomerates in the world. Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, Fox, all now in the Magic Kingdom. They did 70 billion in revenue just this year, 70 billion, including 40% of the entire USA movie box office. And it all started with a man and a mouse. In honor of Walt Disney's 118th birthday, here are a few little-known facts about one of America's greatest entrepreneurs. Today, the name Disney is synonymous with Hollywood, but Walt was born in Chicago and raised in Missouri. The Disney's lived on a farm. Walt's earliest drawings, he was an animator, were animals he saw every day. High school, not a good fit for Walt Disney. He dropped out in 1918 to join the army, but he was underage and they caught him. So he joined the Red Cross Ambulance

Corps. After World War I, Walt's brother Roy wanted to go into the vacuum business. Instead, the brothers formed a studio, later renamed the Walt Disney Company. Sorry Roy. Mickey Mouse makes his grand entrance in 1928. Inspired by Walt Disney's actual pet mouse, who has a pet mouse, Mickey has a few impressive accomplishments of his own. First cartoon character to speak, first to have a star in the walk of fame, also the most popular writing candidate at voting booths around the country. Mickey Mouse also had a disco album. It went double platinum, if you can believe it. Turns out, Mickey was just a beginning for Walt Disney. Between 1932 and 66, Walt was nominated for 59 Academy Awards, winning 22 of them.

And here's something you also might not know. One of the last things Walt Disney wrote down before entering the hospital prior to his death was the name Kurt Russell. Mr. Russell was a child actor who had just signed with the Disney Company. To this day, no one knows. the reason that Walt Disney wrote down his name. Back after this.
