Also I had the madness of defunding the police. But first, more famous Americans giving millions to the Black Lives Matter movement, including Lady Gaga, John Senna, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, basketball legend Michael Jordan, pledging $100 million to organizations dedicated to ensuring racial equality and social justice. But we don't know if Black Lives Matter is on that list. I hope not. BLM wants to destroy, not build up. Seattle School District suspending its relationship with the city's police department. Superintendent Denise Juneau posting her decision on social media saying, quote,

the presence of officers prohibit students from feeling safe, unquote. That's an insult to the police in Seattle, of course. Forty-three percent of schools nationwide have at least one armed guard on campus. NASCAR banning the display of the Confederate flag at racetracks across the country. The symbol is seen at events in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana. Bubba Wallace, the organization's first full-time African-American driver led the anti-flag fight. HBO. Removing the Civil War epic, Gone with the Wind, executives say the film promotes a positive view of slavery and stereotypical portrayal of African Americans. The channel releasing a statement, quote, these depictions were wrong then, are wrong today, we must understand our

history. Gone with the Win, won eight Academy Awards. Pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson and planning to start COVID vaccine trials in the second half of July. The study will involve 1,000 people in the USA and Belgium, most between the ages of 18 and 55. The goal is to produce more than a billion doses of the vaccine by next year. Tests can be fast-tracked by the U.S. government if the results are favorable. In a moment, the madness of defunding the cops. right back. Edward and his wife, Margaret, were looking forward to retirement. Edward started having serious health issues a few years before he turned 65 and had to take an unplanned early retirement. The loss of income and medical bills meant Edward could not afford his expenses,

including the premiums on a $1 million life insurance policy. Faced with lapsing their policy for nothing, Edward and Margaret turned to Coventry Direct and were able to sell the policy for $130,000. If you own a life insurance or term policy that you don't need or can't afford, Coventry Direct can help you receive an average of four times more cash than you'd get from your life insurance carrier.

police all across the country using the money for social justice purposes, including education. Well, the truth is, in this country, we spend more money on social and educational programs than any other country in the history of the world, and we have little to show for it. Here's some facts. New York City spends $28,800 per student per year. perhaps the highest in the world. And what do we have for it? Ready?

Fewer than 50% of New York City students exhibit fundamental English or math skills. Just 46% of students in grades 8 to 12 are proficient in science. Only 42% proficient in math. And that is far below the national. average. So you can see that money doesn't do it. And here's another backup. Catholic school students do much better in every standardized test than their public school counterparts. And the Catholic schools spend 75% less money on students on average. 75% less. So are we all understanding this? Money does.

does not help students learn. Discipline and good teaching does. You want to give the excellent teachers a raise? Good. I'm for that. But you don't need to defund the police to do it. You just need to reorganize the public schools. Now, on the social front, the United States last year issued $68 billion in food stamps. billion in welfare assistance, $463 billion in Medicaid. If you're doing the math, we're close to $2 trillion. Now, an incredible amount of government tax money is given to those Americans who are less fortunate, who don't have a lot. The problem is the poor don't have the skills to raise themselves up, generally speaking. So why not tie government donations to the poor in with mandatory

job training? It's not hard to do. If you get welfare, you've got to go to a class and learn how to do something. And that has nothing to do with defunding the police. What this is really all about is breaking down the white power structure in America. Black Lives Matter and radical leftists like Mayor de Blasio in New York City, they want to run the show and they want to banish any traditional American organization by branding it racist or whatever. They want a brave, new socialistic world where white people are designated the problem. That's what this is all about, this defunding of the police. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by actually writing it. For more news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com for honest reporting. In a moment,

Doctors at the Centers for Disease Control believe the virus lockdown will spark a major mental health crisis in the months ahead. Prescriptions for anxiety medications, sleeping pills, antidepressants, all up double digits since March. But one segment of American society is actually sad to see the shutdown end. Pets. Researchers say cats and dogs will suffer separation disorder once the folks head back to work. Recent study from New York City shows 84% of owners feel more attuned to their pets

needs during the lockdown. Seven and ten say they will change their daily behavior to spend more time with pets after the quarantine lifts. Another 10% plan on adopting another animal to keep their current pooch company. There are now more than 60 million U.S. households with at least one dog, mine included. 50 million own cats, 13 million fish. The pet industry is a huge business, $95 billion a year in food accessories and medical care, that number rising in the age of COVID. Those stats should not be surprising. America's love affair with pets goes back to the beginning. From the frontier to the battlefield, canines have played an integral part in U.S. history. Dogs have been companions to American presidents, beginning with George Washington.

The founding father was a well-known animal lover with a fondness for hounds. During his time, as Commander-in-Chief, Washington kept numerous dogs, including a greyhound named Cornwallis after the British General he was fighting. 30 of 45 presidents have been dog owners, including Franklin Roosevelt, who insisted his Scottish terrier, Fala, joined him for dinner every night. And here's something else you might not know. Domesticated dogs can be a threat. Each year, 13,000 Americans are hospitalized from bites, resulting in 50 deaths. That's more than sharks, alligators, bees, bears, and wolves combined. Back after this.
