Bill O'Reilly here, Tuesday, February 9th, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Impeachment, the sequel, begins today. Donald Trump's attorneys to call the proceedings political theater. COVID cases drop across the country. New York deploy a so-called mask squad to enforce lockdown. Major banks report two out of five Americans have no financial safety net.

Also ahead, the real reason the nation is going through another impeachment. But first, the second trial of Donald Trump in the Senate officially starting. Leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell reaching a deal that will, quote, ensure a fair and honest process. Testimony on whether the former president cited an open insurrection against Congress will begin tomorrow, Wednesday. Today, it's just a bunch of maneuvering. Mr. Trump's lawyers labeling the entire impeachment exercise, quote, an act of political theater fueled by Trump derangement syndrome, unquote. The attorneys claim far-left lawmakers

are filled with hatred for now citizen Trump, and the proceedings violate his constitutional rights to free speech in due process. More coming up in my message. of the day. After punishing holiday season that left hospitals struggling, most places in America now seeing a steady decline in new cases of COVID. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska reporting a 20% decrease of infection since early January. The worst spots for COVID, Arizona, and Los Angeles. New York's Governor Cuomo sending members of the health department onto the streets of New York City, the so-called Mask Squad, will enforce various restrictions and stop folks from gathering in big groups into our dining returns to the Big Apple this coming Friday

at 25% capacity. New study shows two out of five Americans do not have $400 in the bank. The survey from Chase reports 25% of U.S. adults have just enough money to cover one month's worth of bills. About 20% do not have a savings account at all. That of course leaves those folks absolutely powerless. In a moment, the real reason another impeachment fiasco is underway. Right back. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

Message of the Day, impeachment, part two, the charade continues.

Now, you will remember, President Trump was impeached by the House on December 18, 2019. The House of Representatives accused Mr. Trump of abusing his power and obstruction of Congress after he made a phone call to the President of Ukraine, asking the man to look in. to allegations of corruption against Joe Biden and his son. Well, the Senate acquitted Donald Trump of those charges on February 5, 2020. The primary allegation Donald Trump had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, then obstructed the inquiry by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony. Well, as I stated, this Senate did not buy it, and go out today and ask people about the first impeachment. See if they remember anything about it. Most will not. So now we have impeachment number two. We are in that

zone again. Mr. Trump charged with inciting insurrection after criminals broke into the Capitol building on January 6th. But here's something very interesting. interesting. The FBI says it now has evidence the capital assault was planned well in advance by far right thugs. If that is true, no insurrection could have happened on the day in question because the whole thing was planned far in advance. So Mr. Trump's speech, exhorting his followers to protest peacefully, his word peacefully, couldn't possibly be responsible for something that was planned weeks in advance. Or am I wrong? Or as the FBI wrong? So what is really going on here? Well, the left despises Donald Trump. We all know that. And they want to

continue to humiliate him. It's very personal. Senate Majority Leader Schumer and President Biden also understand there is absolutely no chance Donald Trump will be convicted, just like last time. But for them, Schumer, Biden, and many, many Democrats, just the diminishment of Donald Trump is worth the effort. But think about this. what good does the impeachment this week do the United States of America? It makes us look weak all over the world. People laugh at us now. It also puts Donald Trump in another position to be humiliated. He's a president. He was duly elected. You might not like him, but he's not there anymore. Why do you want to keep humiliating a former president? It's a little like

Bill Clinton, because even though he was acquitted of charges in the Senate, impeachment charges, the Monica Lewinsky thing just became a national joke. And that's what the left wants to do to Donald Trump. Make him a national joke. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. please contact me, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

The U.S. airline industry still struggling to survive the pandemic with travel down 75% compared to last February. Latest polls show a majority of Americans refuse to fly until they are vaccinated. However, if you want to leave the country, there are a few nations around the world that

will let you in, but always with some restrictions. For example, folks hoping to visit Europe will have to stop in Albania first. American citizens can visit the country without a negative COVID test, but will be forced to sanitize their luggage at the airport. For some warm weather this winter, you could head to Bar-Buda and Aruba. Access to those Caribbean islands is contingent on a negative COVID test, taken no more than seven days prior to arrival, but you can go there. Adventious Americans can also head down to Brazil for carnival festivities this February, but the U.S. government is advising everyone to stay away from South America, and Brazil is there for those of you who flunk geography.

Brazil is also a very dangerous place for COVID and other situations. Travelers from the USA are also allowed to visit South Korea, but plan on staying there for a while. Even with a negative COVID test, tourists must remain in quarantine up to 21 days. Violators are fined and kicked out of the country, at their own expense. And here's something else you might not know. Modern ventilation systems in commercial jetliners are now much safer in preventing the spread of COVID than initially thought. Doctors say the odds of catching the disease while on board a plane is less than one in 5,000. The odds of being infected and dying from COVID, one in 500,000. Health experts believe the most dangerous time for travelers is not actually

when they're in the air, but while they're waiting to board in the airport. Back after this.
