As of December, households owe $15 trillion to lenders, biggest culprits, credit cards, student loans, home mortgages, inflation also hurting borrowers,

The Consumer Price Index rising at the highest level in 40 years. All this borrowing, sending the country's credit score down a levels not seen since the Great Recession of 2008.

Name in town if you wish to opine. So let's go to Ralph and Joan in Sayville, New York. that's on Long Island. Hey, Bill, thank God, you said the obvious, and President Trump listened and called off the press conference on January 6th. Now tell him to soften his message like Winston Churchill did. Well, number one, I don't know whether President Trump listened to me. I know he gets a transcript of my broadcasts. We did say that a press conference by him would be a trap and the media would go wild and whatever he said would not be reported accurately. So he wisely canceled. Now, I never call any politician offering advice. That's not my job. I'm a journalist slash historian. My job is to

look out for you, is to watch all the people in power. If they call me or ask me in person for advice, as an American, I'll offer my opinion, but they have to ask. That's why some of the commentators close to Donald Trump have gotten in a little bit of trouble. Now, that's a whole different thing. I'm not making any judgment. I'm just saying this is what I do. I don't call politicians. Valerie and Taus, New Mexico, perhaps I'm the only person who wishes President Trump had not canceled the press conference. It needed to be said, by him that he recommended 10,000 National Guard be at the Capitol on January 6th. Well, we reported that first because the president told us in the Trump-O-Reilly history tour and the documentation

is there that that's what happened. But even if he said that in the press conference, Valerie, do you think the corrupt corporate media would have reported it? They would not. They would have cherry-picked anything that they could have used against Donald Trump. Because the reporting on this whole January 6th thing has been distorted from the very beginning. Let's go to Tamaz, who lives in Durham, New Hampshire. Finally, Bill, you are asking some serious questions regarding the vaccine and natural immunity. Finally? Listen, Tamaz, I've reported this COVID thing very accurately, okay?

Last year at this time, there were about 200,000 cases of COVID being reported every day. The vaccines had driven that number down. It was clear from the data that the vaccines were working. Now, with the new variant, Omicron, they're going up. So now there's a new story, and that's what I'm reporting. Bob, Fosier, Texas. Why do you think conservative news personnel or publications have not followed up on Hunter Biden's laptop? And do what? It's already been reported. There's a book out about it. What are you going to do? Merrick Garland, the attorney general, is not going to investigate Hunter Biden. His boss is his father, Joe Biden. So what do you want the conservative media to do? It's already been reported. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve that message by putting it together.

of three decades. Here is the story behind the King of Rock. Elvis Aaron Presley was born inside a tiny one-bedroom shack in rural Mississippi on January 8, 1935. The boy began singing at local high schools and birthday parties when he was 12 years old. In 1956, Elvis hit number one with his tune Houndaw. The song launched one of the most successful acts in history and ignited rock music in general.

Presley sold more than 1 billion with a B albums in every format, vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CDs. Elvis also appeared on 10 different TV shows, and in 31 movies, most of them not good to be kind. Remember clam bake? The musician took a two-year hiatus at the

height of his fame between 1958 and 60 because he was drafted into the army. His time in Germany solidified his status as a worldwide celebrity. However, fame took its toll on Elvis Presley beginning in the 1970s. Elvis overdosed on drugs twice. His personal physician, prescribed him 30 different medications within a six-month period. By 1977, Elvis Presley had gained 90 pounds, could no longer walk without a cane, and slept most of the day. In August of that year, the king was discovered dead on his bathroom floor at the age of 42. Doctors ruled the cause of death a likely heart attack, but it was not.

It was the drugs that killed him. And here's something else you might not know. According to his fiancé at the time, the musician's final words at 2 a.m. were, quote, I'm going to the bathroom to read, unquote. She would discover his body 12 hours later. Folks today can visit Elvis Presley's mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, but the bathroom where he died remains off limits.
