Bill O'Reilly here Thursday, July 25th, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update here is what is happening across our nation. Robert Mueller getting bad reviews for his congressional testimony. Record number of Americans say immigration, the biggest problem facing the nation. Puerto Rico's governor resigns after days of protests. An unbelievable, 88% of Americans eat. while staring at a screen. The term fat cat takes on a whole new meaning. Also coming up, my message of the day on the Mueller debacle. But first, the former special counsel had a very

hard time answering hours of questions regarding his two-year probe into Russian election meddling. President Trump calling the hearings, quote, horrible, saying Mueller simply had nothing to work with. More on that in my message of the day upcoming. A large number of Americans believe immigration is the most important problem facing the nation. According to Gallup, 27% cite that countries failing immigration system as the biggest problem heading into the 2020 election. That figure was just 6% in 2018 last year. Next on the list of biggest concerns, poor leadership, race relations, health care, and the environment. Puerto Rican governor, Ricardo Rosello, resigning after days of protests. The governor will officially step down August 2nd in response to a growing public outcry regarding

corruption, his handling of hurricane relief efforts, and misuse of public resources. Ricello is the first governor of Puerto Rico to resign from office. They call them zombie eaters, a new study showing a whopping 88. percent of us routinely dine while staring at screens. 91% watched television while eating at least one meal. 49% on a regular basis. 83% of those ass say they have had meals go cold because of the distracting machines. The biggest culprit, emails and social media. The term fat cat, taking on an entirely different meaning. According to researchers, the obesity, problem is transferring to pets. Scientists say the average cat is more than a half pound

heavier than two decades ago. That might not sound like a lot, but the average feline weighs just seven pounds. In human terms, that's an extra 18 pounds on the body. Coming up, why was Robert Mueller so befuddled in his congressional testimony? Right back with it. Bill O'Reilly here, if you are age 75 or older, and if you own $100,000 life insurance policy or larger, I want you to get a pen and write down this information. Many Americans are making the decision to convert their life insurance policy into cash, giving them some extra money to pay off credit cards, medical bills, any number of things. Look, the economy's been a struggle for many.

Some people need cash. There's nothing wrong with that. You can get that money if you're over 75, and if you have a $100,000 or larger, life insurance policy. So write this number down. 844, We Buy 75. Totally free to call it. Get rid of those insurance premiums. Stop paying them. Consider turning the policy into cash. The number again, 844-4-4-We-B-U-Y-75. 8-44-4-We-B-U-Y-75. 8-44-4-We- Buy-75. Call now, brought to you by our sponsor, guide partners. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, Robert Mueller testifying in front of two House committees and the nation. It did not go well. Robert Mueller is a patriot,

former Vietnam combat hero, FBI director, honest man, and a person who has devoted his life to his country. Robert Mueller could have made a lot more money in the private sector, but he chose to fight crime with the FBI and do things that were helpful to America. As you know, Mueller was appointed special counsel to find out the extent of Russia's intrusion into the 2016 election. He did find out some of that, but the investigation quickly became political. With Trump supporters and some conservatives saying Mueller was out to get the president while liberals were cheering Mueller on, wanting enough information to impeach the president. Well, in the end, Robert Mueller issued a nearly 500-page report and spent about 30 million taxpayer dollars. But here's what he did

not do. He did not investigate, according to his own testimony, the initial Russian intrusion. into the U.S. election, and that is the so-called dossier, which came out of Russia and accused Donald Trump of doing heinous things. When asked about it yesterday in Washington, Mueller said it was, quote, beyond his purview. That's insane. The initial Russian situation came about because Russian agents were trying to undermine Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and they did it in a variety of ways. Mueller investigated Trump, but apparently did not investigate why the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded the dossier that turned up phony data on Donald Trump. It's incredible, and fair-minded Americans know this investigation was not done in a fair way. Now, reaction from the media is always dicey because the U.S. media is not really an honest enterprise anymore, but I'll quote a few.

Chris Wallace on Fox said, I think this has been a disaster for the Democrats, and I think it's been a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller. He has seemed very uncertain with his brief. He doesn't seem to know things that are in the report. CNN guy and former Obama advisor, David Axelrod, quote, this is delicate to say, but Mueller, whom I deeply respect, has not publicly testified before Congress in at least six years, and he does not appear as sharp as he was then. Dan Rather, who has become a left-wing zealot, quote, this exchange between shift and Mueller, just the facts, are a damning indictment that these facts are known should not minimize how serious they are. The press now is another chance to frame the story correctly, unquote,

rather saying Donald Trump should be impeached. And on and on and on. Bottom line, Robert Mueller seemed befuddled, and the nation will now walk away from the entire Russian collusion situation.
