Have you had enough? But first, the Supreme Court ruling Arizona's recent election security laws do not violate the Voting Rights Act. In a 6-3 decision, the justices say, restrictions on mail-in ballots and early voting are not discriminatory. Rights Judge Alito, quote, without more concrete
Starting point is 00:01:00 evidence, we cannot conclude that this bill results in less opportunity to participate in the political process, unquote. Of course, the progressive left believes any rules about casting ballots are racist. National Retailer Target closing all of its San Francisco department stores at 6 p.m. to reduce theft and shoplifting. Executive saying some locations cannot remain open in the evening because criminals are running wild in the city by the bay. Mayor London Breed, unhappy with Target's decision claiming the reduced hours, will hurt residents who shop after work, and that is true, but it's Ms. Breed's fault because of her permissive policy towards crime. Are you getting that, madam? Americans enjoying Independence Day and record
Starting point is 00:01:59 numbers, travel passing pre-COVID levels for the first time since the pandemic began. Nearly four million passengers flew over the holiday weekend, another 44 million on the road. Last 4th of July, that figure stood at less than 80,000 flying. Can you believe that? Officials reporting more than 145 shootings during the holiday weekend. New York City saw 26 people shot from Friday through Sunday. Two of those fatal, violence. broke out in Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon. Violent Cram up 30% nationwide. Somebody tell Joe Biden. A report from Wallet Hub ranks the most patriotic states in the USA, and they are. New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Alaska, and number one, Montana. Least patriotic,
Starting point is 00:02:53 Connecticut, Florida, and New York. In a moment, the mean New Deal. Right. 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 stockpiling gold.

Starting point is 00:03:47 Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-89-89-8-9-9. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. Time out for the O'Reilly Update. Message of the Day, the meaning of America, as in nasty. A few months ago, Disney executives held a secret meeting in New York City with members of the ABC News program, The View. secret, very hush, hush. Things had become so hateful on that morning program that some Disney board members were loudly complaining. The message delivered was, knock off the hate, ladies. The primary culprit, Joy Behar, a bitter leftist. Another problem was Sonny Hosten, who's even more to the left than Behar, and equally as vicious. The two would routinely
Starting point is 00:04:56 gang up on Megan McCain, Disney's token non-liberal. Miss McCain often fired back emotionally. The presentation was about as entertaining as a snake bite. Last week, Megan McCain quit the show. Now, the view has always had an edge, but its creator, Barbara Walters, maintained some civility. Rosie O'Donnell couldn't handle that, but Whoopi Goldberg is not a vicious person and do their best to provide some decorum. once Donald Trump began to dominate the discourse, civility collapsed on the view as well as many other TV forums. For example, late-night comedians have pretty much destroyed themselves as mass market entertainers. Stephen Colbert was never the talent John Stewart is, but could once deliver
Starting point is 00:05:47 a satirical take that amused, no longer. Colbert is now a venomous left-wing zealot who is impossible to watch unless you live in his blatantly partisan tent. Same thing with the snarky leftist Seth Myers, a man desperately in need of a funny reboot. Mean is not humorous or engaging or enlightening. Mean is simply mean, a posture with no socially redeeming value. There is an audience for sadistic unfair attacks, but it's a pathetically narrow crew. This is why the late-night vitriolic cannot even get three million viewers to watch them. Johnny Carson got nine million. There is mean on the right as well, but on television at least,
Starting point is 00:06:41 conservative haters are vastly outnumbered. On the internet, the mean New Deal is on full display every day, as wretched crewellas aggressively changed lanes on the low road. It's all pretty depressing and meaningless, pardon upon. Our media culture is flat out nasty, blatantly sadistic, and getting worse. It is long past time to call these people out. Now, the logical question is, why does corporate America allow this? I work for corporations in the media for more than 40 years.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I had to abide by standards. Sometimes my program's got a bit rambunctious, but we try to avoid all meanness. Today, mean makes money, as inferior talents cannot provide genuine laughs or enlightenment. All they can provide is nasty stuff. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

It was quickly exchanged for an electric guitar. On July 6, 1957, teenager John Lennon and his band, The Quarrymen, were perform. performing at a church festival in Liverpool. In attendance was Paul, who waited outside the event as John was packing up his gear to leave. The two engaged in conversation hit it off and then

They would become the most popular act in the world. calling it quits 10 years later. In total, the Beatles racked up sales of 1.6 billion single records, 600 million albums, 25 number ones. The song yesterday has been covered professionally more than 3,000 times. Despite their British pedigree, three of the FAB four ultimately made America their home. McCartney now owns property in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Arizona, and Amagance at Long Island. John Lennon moved to New York City after the Beatles broke up. He was shot to death, as you know, outside his Manhattan apartment by a deranged fan on December 8th, 1980. Ringo Starr moved to Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:10:37 in 2014 after selling his house in the U.K., said Star, quote, it's not that sad because it's time for a change, and the weather is better over there. That's L.A. And there's something else. Hugh know. Paul McCartney remains rock and roll's wealthiest musician. His estimated net worth $1.2 billion with a B dollars. Baby, you're a rich man. Go-goo. Achoo.
