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 Wednesday, January 18, 2023. Here's what happening today in America. The latest with Biden's classified documents. Sheriff's refusing to enforce the law in Illinois. Greta is arrested, maybe. And Cambridge, Massachusetts, invents a word. And Bill will be back. with the message of the day. But first, last Thursday, the White House spokesperson said the search for more of Biden's classified documents was completed. And then five more classified documents were found after that. So the spokesperson was asked, now is the search over? She refused to answer. Also, the White House has previously claimed that Joe Biden worked while taking trips to his

Wilmington, Delaware home. But they're now claiming that his residence is personal, which is why there are no visitor logs. The state of Illinois became the ninth state to ban assault rifles. 74 sheriff departments across the state have publicly vowed to defy the law. They will not enforce it. And the governor has shot back. He said those members of law enforcement who fail to do their job won't be in their job. Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested by police in Germany during an anti-colle protest at a mine in a small village.

Oh, it's horrible. There's video of poor little Greta getting carried away by mean all police officers. Now, new footage has since come out of her standing with the police officers laughing, getting their pictures taken, and then being carried away on cue. In America, 22% of our electricity comes from coal. In Germany, it's 36%. But all the more necessary, because 25% of their electricity is from natural gas. and over half of that is imported from Russia, which is why the price of electricity in Germany has gone up over 50%. The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts

is hosting a youth sports event for Girl X, Girlx, Girlx, Girlx, GIRLX. It's a free event for elementary school students from kindergarten through fifth grade open to Girlks who want to get involved in local sports. A Girlx, Is anyone who identifies as a girl or with girlhood?

Very similar to Wimmix and Latinx. The city of Davis, California, outside Sacramento, had an anonymous student survey. 6% of students identifies neither male nor female, and that does not include those kids who just claim to be of the opposite sex. It is a social contagion, and it's spreading. Bill O'Reilly will be back with the message of the day next.

On the no-spin news, my TV broadcasts Monday night, I said I'm starting to dislike President Biden personally. That hasn't happened in my career. Every president in my lifetime has made mistakes, of course, but they didn't cause me to dislike them as people. Mr. Biden is an exception. In his speech marking the King federal holiday, the president basically said that America continues to hose African Americans and that he, Joe Biden, will triumph by putting an end to the systemic racism and voter suppression. As we know, the midterm election saw a record voter turnout.

Mr. Biden is essentially casting himself as a savior to blacks who really need to be saved from. him. The president has done all he can to create an entitlement class based on perceived grievance while allowing hard drugs to stream into this country through the open southern border. Urban blacks especially are deeply and negatively affected by that. Biden's rhetoric is divisive, largely untruthful, and brutally unfair to a country that provides more opportunity than any other. So I don't much like this guy whose civil rights voting record in the Senate is sketchy to say the least. I think Joe Biden is hurting all of us by exploiting race for political gain.

I guess I could be misguided, but I don't think so. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. If you'd like more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Let's go to the mail, Jorge D'Andor, Chihuahua, Mexico. Bill, as usual, you will write about your comments on Mexico. However, I want to point out a couple of things.

In order to have the cartel smuggle, there has to be a demand for drugs in the USA, which Mexico did not create, and drugs are not distributed in the U.S. by themselves. Someone doesn't. Correct on both points. Jorge? Okay? We are responsible. We, the United States of America, for buying narcotics, which causes violence and death all over the place. So the individual people who buy narcotics contribute to the death. No doubt. As far as the distribution is concerned, we have laws that you have to make cases against these cartels and organizations, crime organizations, in this country.

It takes time to do that. And now with the pro-criminal thing we have going on here, we're selling heroin and methamphetamine and even fentanyl isn't considered a violent crime or a terrible crime, we've got a huge problem. So you are correct. Michael, drug cartels are the enemy of the U.S. and should be destroyed by force. That would mean we would have to go to semi-war with Mexico. But I agree the Patriot Act should be enforced. cartels should be designated terrorists and we should go and get them that's for sure uh henry

who's the most responsible for the drug mess the buyer or the seller the seller the seller the pusher okay the buyer is weak the buyer is wrong but the pusher is greedy and exploiting the weakness and doesn't care whether the buyer lives or dies in a moment Something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 765 years ago this week, that's a long time, 765 years ago. The Golden Age of Islam came cram. crashing down. Invaders from the Far East sacked the Caliphate's capital. Over the course

of 12 days, the Muslim world was conquered and ruined for centuries. Here is the story behind the Mongol siege of Baghdad. For 8,000 years, Baghdad, now in Iraq, as you know, was a tiny fishing village on the Tigris River before being named the capital of the Islamic world in the 8th century. The town flourished into a major metropolis, a attracting scholars, poets, artists. While most of Europe plunged into the dark ages, Baghdad became the academic center of the world. Far to the east in Central Asia,

the Mongols united under a ruthless warrior named Jenghis Khan. It would be his grandson who expanded the empire into the Middle East. The Mongol army consisting of 150,000 riders on horseback, arrived on the outskirts of Baghdad in January 1258. The city held off invaders for nearly two weeks, but ultimately fell. Hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered. Every building in Baghdad, including moss, palaces, and markets was destroyed. Among them, the world-famous House of Wisdom.

Hundreds of thousands of priceless manuscripts and books were tossed into the Tigris River. centuries of learning gone in days. The invaders immediately sentence all Muslim scholars to death. At its height, the Mongol Empire extended from the South China Sea to present-day Romania. If you look at a map, it's amazing. The fall of Baghdad signaled the end of Islam's golden age for the next four hundred years, the Middle East, and the Arabian Peninsula was ruled by smaller kingdoms and caliphates. The region would remain in turmoil until the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

So the Mongols distorted history for almost everyone in Asia and Europe. Back after this.
