Bill O'Reilly here Monday, January 4th, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening
today in America. Nearly a dozen Republican senators will object to the electoral college count.
Chicago ends the year with the highest number of homicides in two decades. Portland, Oregon residents
ring in the new year with a fresh round of riots. Vandals again target New York, St. Patrick
Catholic's Cathedral? Also, head colleges are not protecting students, but first. At least 11 Republican
senators led by Ted Cruz are planning to object to Joe Biden's electoral college certification.
The crew wants Congress to appoint a special commission to probe allegations of voter fraud
in at least four states. The 10-day audit would potentially delay the inauguration beyond January 20th,
but it will not happen because most of the Senate opposes.
Portland, Oregon, choosing to celebrate 2021 with a series of new riots.
How nice.
Hundreds gathered downtown despite the COVID shutdown order,
tossing Molotov cocktails and fireworks at members of law enforcement.
The crowd also set fires to police stations and a local sheriff's office.
No prosecutions are expected because,
law has broken down in Portland, Oregon. Chicago officially ending the year with record-breaking
crime stats. The windy city witnessed more murders than any time since 2001. At least 769
people killed by gunshots, 280 more than in 2019. Chicago was not alone, violent crime
stats in most major cities spiked by double digits last year.
Nearly 200 Black Lives Matter protesters blocked traffic in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
The New York Church was also defaced with graffiti stating all cops are bastards.
Again, how nice.
Police dispersed the crowd after two hours, but no arrests were made by the NYPD.
Why would they arrest anybody for damaging the cathedral?
Iran, warning the U.S. and its allies that the killers of General Solaris
Soleimani, are, quote, not safe on earth.
Soleimani was hit by a drone at Baghdad airport in Iraq a year ago.
He was a leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard in Iran, a terrorist organization.
In a moment, you will not believe what Cornell University is telling its students.
Right back with...
Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.
National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.
And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stock.

that. Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the day terrorizing college students at Cornell
University in upstate New York. The school is telling all the students, hey, you have to get a flu shot,
or you will be denied entry into college buildings, says Cornell, quote, in addition to
requiring the wearing of mass and engagement in physical distancing, the compact requires students
to participate in ongoing surveillance testing for COVID-19 and to be vaccinated against seasonal
influenza, unquote. However, there is a special message for students of color,
says Cornell, again, quote, we recognize that due to longstanding
systemic racism and health inequalities in this country. Individuals from some marginalized communities
may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements like the vaccination. People of
color have been mistreated and used by people in power sometimes for profit or medical gain.
It is understandable that the current compact requirements may feel such.
or even exploitative. We strongly recommend that students comply with these requirements.
At the same time, we understand that someone may know the science and still feel distrusting
of health care and may have additional questions. We can be a resource if you need more
information and exemption or have related questions, unquote. Well, that means that if you
are a minority student at Cornell in Ivy League University, you do not have to be vaccinated.
The school will look the other way. That's insane. What Cornell is doing is setting up two
standards of student requirements, one for whites, one for minorities. Cornel is dividing the student
body by skin color and ethnicity, preaching a message that students are not all the same.
Some will get special privileges at Cornell.
This, of course, is reverse racism, but even more heinous, it sends a message to the Cornell
student body and the surrounding community that people of color, so-called
marginalized communities have a different standard of behavior.
This is not all men are created equal. All men are equal under the law. It's not that at all.
This is, if you are a minority, we will give you a pass on student rules, even rules that
that affect the entire health on the campus.
Again, how awful is this?
Yet, there are no demonstrations at Cornell.
If you speak out against this, you're a racist,
and you're in big trouble at Cornell University.
I'm Dill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by writing it.
Disagree, I would like to hear from you,

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know.
55 years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson delivered his State of the Union address to the nation.
during the speech the president outlined his vision for a quote great society said johnson we built this nation to serve its people
the great society asked not how much but how good not only to create wealth but how to use it not only how fast we are going but where we are headed unquote
A few months before the address in the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination, Americans elected JFK's
vice president by the largest popular vote in history. Lyndon Johnson's great society included
programs that are familiar to us right now, including Medicare, Medicaid, the Voting Rights Act,
the Civil Rights Act, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, National Foundation for the Arts,
early childhood education, and a dozen more federal entitlements.
Economists estimate the Great Society programs have cost American taxpayers more than $22 trillion
since 1964, and another trillion is added each year. And here's something else you might not know.
President Johnson's Great Society has a very mixed legacy.
LBJ's efforts to promote racial equality have mostly failed.
Half a century after Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act, studies show America's neighborhoods
have changed very little since 1968.
In 1965, 24% of black infants were born to single mothers.
That number is now 80%.
Studies show babies born into single-parent homes are twice as likely to be poor.
American cities remain largely segregated, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Washington. Their rate of
integration has stalled since the 60s. In San Francisco, the racial divide is even greater because
minorities cannot afford to live there, generally speaking. The lesson here, a great society
must be mandated by its citizens. Personal behavior creates a great
society, not government. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
