Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, January 17th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. Donald Trump attacks Joe Biden. San Francisco's Reparations Committee has their conclusions. No inheritance for this family, but a big one for another. Also, Bill will be here with his message of the day. First, former President Donald Trump criticizing President Biden for not having a visitor's log for his Wilmington, Delaware home where classified documents have been found. Trump said, quote, Mara Lago is a highly secured facility with security cameras all over the place and watched over by staff and our great secret service. I have info on everyone.

Biden's team says they didn't have a visitor's log because it was a private residence. A couple months ago, California had a reparation committee. decide that every black resident of California is entitled to $223,000 per person. But not to be outdone, the wacky city of San Francisco had their own reparation committee, and they just announced their own reparation recommendation. You ready for this? The San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee concluded that every black resident of San Francisco is entitled to $5 million.

a lump sum payment would compensate the affected population for the decades of harm that they have experienced and will redress the economic and opportunity losses that black San Franciscans have endured. By the way, California was never a slave state. Singer Marie Osmond says she does not plan on giving any inheritance to any of her kids. Quote, to me, the greatest gift you can give your child is a passion to search out who they are inside and to work. I think all an inheritance does is breed laziness and entitlement. I worked hard, and I'm going to spend it all and have fun with my husband. She has a net worth of $26 million. If you had that much, would you pass it all on to your kids? Or is there such thing as too much to pass on? Like our final story, for example,

a 19-year-old, Fred DeLuca, asked a family friend for advice on how to pay for his college education. The friend gave him $1,000 to open up a business. This business, 50 years later, is exploring a sale for $10 billion. Now, Fred passed away in 2015, but the sale would make his heirs some of the richest people in the country. That business that Fred opened up in 1973 with a $1,000 loan

was Pete's super submarine shop. Today, known as Subway. Bill, we'll be back with the message of the day.

I have just finished looking at the San Francisco African-American

Reparations Advisory Committee Report. Okay. So they recommend the people on this panel that each African-American in San Francisco receive a lump sum payment of $5 million in cash and total debt forgiveness. Whatever they owe, that includes mortgage, car, education is paid for by the city of San Francisco. It's an astounding report. It says, quote, while neither San Francisco nor California formally adopted the institution of slavery, the tenets of segregation, white supremacy, and systematic repression and exclusion of black people were codified through legal and extra legal action, social codes, and judicial enforcement, unquote. So therefore, reparations are demanded. Now, if this ever happened, then I don't believe it will. What about the people

have to pay the five million bucks and all the debt relief? Their regular working Americans living in San Francisco. They have to pay it. Is that full? Fair to them? Of course not. If anything like this ever passed, race relations would be set back, maybe 100 years. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

There's no law against it. Joseph Irino, Bronx, New York. Bill, why were President Biden's lawyers searching his offices isn't home anyway? It would seem that high-powered lawyers wouldn't be doing something like that as routine. Well, I mean, that's why the special counsels there is supposed to find that out. Sharon wasn't established when President Trump left office. The GSA was responsible

packing up his papers, having them shipped them all over. Yes, General Services does all that. But the people in power, the president, vice president, senators, whatever, they say, take this, don't take that, take this, don't take that. GSA doesn't make those decisions. Diane Benson, West Caldwell, New Jersey, Bill, do you ever wonder if years ago Obama said, Joe, get rid of these boxes for me? Think of the content, Ukraine, Iran. Diane, you know, the conspiracy stuff is everywhere. I hope you're not invested in it, but no, I never really wondered about that. Catherine, Hunter's Laptop News suppressed before the 2020 election.

Biden's classified documents suppressed before 22. What will happen before 24? I don't know, but the Biden information was suppressed by Biden himself about the documents, not by the media. And the media did suppress on her mind, no doubt about it. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

institution went into effect. For the first time in American history, it was illegal for any person to manufacture, sell, or transport alcohol. Here is the story of prohibition. The movement to ban booze began in the early 19th century. Folks concerned about the adverse effects of alcohol formed local societies to promote what they called temperance. By the early 20th century, these groups have become very powerful campaigning on the state level and calling for total national abstinence. In December 1919, the 18th Amendment, also known as the Prohibition Amendment, was proposed by Congress sent to the states for ratification because it was a constitutional amendment. Two-thirds had to say okay. Well, one year after the amendment was approved on January 17,

1920, the USA became a completely dry nation, at least in theory. Once implemented, the experiment was a total failure, however. The consumption of booze stayed about the same in most of the country. Prohibition forced the alcohol industry underground, creating a criminal underworld dominated by gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano. Thousands of Americans got sick or died from bathtub gin and other concoctions made in people's homes. Canadian mobsters even sold rubbing alcohol mixed with maple syrup to speak-easies along the East Coast. At the onset of the Great Depression, politicians decided to revoke the disaster. Congress passed the 21st Amendment in 1933, repealing prohibition in every state. And here's something else you might not know.

Today, Americans consume more alcohol than ever before, mostly because of the pandemic. A recent poll from Gallup shows 70% of us consider ourselves regular drinkers. On average, the typical person consumes about 500 adult beverages each year, one and a half cocktails per day. 25% of Americans do not drink at all, but at least 6% are addicted to booze back after this.
