Bill O'Reilly here, Tuesday, February 2, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Storms hit the Northeast with up to two feet of snow in some places. The campaign to recall California Governor Newsom growing. L.A. allows some outdoor dining, but bans televisions. Will you hear this? Arizona, the worst place in the country. country for COVID. Anxiety, keeping four and ten Americans awake every night. Also ahead is a new civil war brewing in America. But first, folks in Pennsylvania to Maine, digging out after a powerful Northeaster dropped 24 inches of snow in some places, including my front yard. Also, a foot and a half in New York Central Park. Flights canceled or delayed at airports from

Baltimore to Boston, storm forcing many hospitals to postpone COVID vaccinations. More than a million Californians signing a petition to recall Governor Gavin Newsom. Organizes need another 300,000 signatures by mid-March to put it on the ballot. The Democrat faces a growing backlash over his handling of homelessness, crime, anti-police protests, and COVID shutdowns. He was also caught eating at a posh restaurant during a lot, lockdown. Los Angeles residents can once again start dining outdoors, but not while watching TV. Officials warning all restaurants to disconnect the televisions or face sanctions. The thinking is that TVs will cause customers to gather during the Super Bowl and other sporting events. Arizona now reporting

the highest rate of COVID in the country. Despite the surge, officials there have refused to close bars, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, and concert venues. Arizona, just one of 13 states that does not have a mandatory mask mandate for people in public places. New survey from one poll says Americans are increasingly anxious about the next 24 hours, so-called next day anxiety, causing 41% of adults to stay awake at night. 61% say they've lost hours of sleep due to stress. Respondents blame COVID, financial problems, and the political climate for the lack of rest. In a moment, that political climate, getting even worse, will prove it after this.

Message of the Day, unity. That's what President Biden said he would bring, but it's not going to happen. Here's why. A new study out of Stanford's Hoover Institute interviewed 2,000 Americans about political beliefs. Here are some of the results. Do you oppose a carbon tax? That's a global warming play. 71% of Republicans oppose it, 31% of Democrats oppose it. Do you oppose a $15 national minimum wage? 52% of Republicans say no, they don't want that. 9%, just 9% of Democrats don't want a 15 buck minimum wage. Do you favor a $12,000 guaranteed income for America? 26% of Republicans favor, 62% of Democrats want free money going out from the federal government.

And the most important question, is socialism better than capitalism? 8% of Republicans say it is. I don't know who those 8% of Republicans are. That's pretty strange. 51% the majority of Democrats say socialism is a better system than capitalism. Now, that is a huge problem because that goes to the heart of the American system. We are a capitalist nation, a country that promotes a free marketplace, not one run by a central government. We promote self-reliance, success based on merit. Socialism is the opposite. It promotes guaranteed outcomes, no matter how irresponsible you are. Fifty-one percent of Democrats favor socialism now? That's crazy. And there's more. Do you agree political correctness is a big problem?

73% of Republicans say it is. Just 34% of Democrats. Do you believe we should ban assault weapons? 81% of Republicans say don't ban them. 38% of Democrats don't want them ban. Abortion, should it always or generally be legal? Just 32% of Republicans say it should be legal. 73% of Democrats. So you see. enormous divide in this country. Unity is impossible with these attitudes because the attitudes are not going to change and bitterness is rising. What the country needs is a strong, honest leader to lessen the threat of a social civil war. I do not believe violence is going to break out, but I don't see detente. I don't see compromise. These are

hardened, hardened attitudes. And with the younger generation being indoctrinated by left-wing schools, it's just going to get worse. It comes down to progressives against traditional Americans. And Joe Biden, of course, has thrown in with the progressives. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve the message by writing it. Disagree. I'd like to hear from you. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com in a moment.

Should the Los Angeles Times be canceled for things it did in the 1940s? So, as you know, World War II broke out in the early 1940s between America and Japan after Pearl Harbor. Between December 1941 and February 1942, the LA Times were in a series of articles promoting isolation, detention, and incarceration of all Japanese-born Americans.

Headlines included Japan now pictured as a nation of spies. Eviction of Jap, their word, aliens sought. American Japs removal urged. Japanese already here send data to Tokyo. from the L.A. Times. One Times writer on February 2nd said, quote, are Japanese Americans citizens by accident of birth? But they are Japanese nevertheless. A viper. It's nonetheless a viper. Eventually, the media frenzy surrounding a possible invasion of the West Coast by Imperial Japan, led to the forced relocation of a hundred and twenty thousand people of Japanese

ancestry into camps across the American West. At its height, the U.S. government held citizens against their will at 40 sites in 10 states. President Franklin Roosevelt authorized Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, which allowed regional military commanders to designate military areas for the detention of Japanese Americans. California defined anyone one 16th or more of Japanese lineage as sufficient to be incarcerated. Amazing. And the L.A. Times was all for it. Intermittment was not limited to the Japanese, but included American citizens of German and Italian families as well. So the question is, should the L.A. Times be held accountable for this? The Supreme Court in 1944 ruled it unconstitutional and it stopped.

But the Times drove the hysteria against Japanese Americans. With California knocking out George Washington, Abraham, Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson from school names, maybe we should take a look out there at the L.A. Times. Back after this.
