Some fans even camped out to secure entry to the 20,000-seat M-Way Center. Mr. Trump promising the crowd continued prosperity and attacking his enemies, no surprise.

More in my message of the day coming up. Joe Biden promising to raise taxes on the campaign trial this week. Former Vice President was speaking at the Poor People's Forum in Washington when he pledged to repeal the Trump tax cuts on day one of his new administration. Critics point out that would mean a $2,000 tax hike on a family of four earning $70,000 a year. Democrats in the House meeting to discuss financial reparations for the descendants of former slaves. The hearings take place on June 19th the same day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Texas to declare the end of the Civil War. The American airline industry making big bucks off your luggage.

President Trump kicked off his re-election bid by entertaining 20,000 folks in Orlando, Florida last night. He touted America's prosperity economically, but he also developed a new. new theme. On no issue are Democrats more extreme and more depraved than when it comes to border security. The Democrat agenda of open borders is morally reprehensible. It's the greatest

betrayal of the American middle class and frankly American life our country has as a whole. anything like it. Now, as I have been saying for weeks, the Democratic Party is being held hostage by radical left elements. And Mr. Trump has really not zeroed in on that. He continues to hammer the Democrats about the border and things like that that he campaigned on in 2016, but he has not broken into what is happening today. Listen, if you have a political party that is touting reparations for slavery and no limits on abortion whatsoever, and even socialism replacing capitalism. Those are radical agendas. So President Trump is starting to formulate a new theme. The theme is that his opposition, whoever it may be,

is embracing policies never before accepted in the United States of America. He's also getting personal. If you watched the speech last night, he spent some time on Justice Kavanaugh and what happened to him in the hearings in the Senate, where he was attacked, President Trump saying, without any evidence of wrongdoing, and his family was torn into pieces. Now, leading that situation were two of President Trump's opponents, senators Corey Booker and Kamala Harris. Those are campaign issues that can help Donald Trump, as I believe, most Americans are not embracing the radical left. It is largely a media-driven phenomenon with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren heading the pack. Now, on the downside, the president continues to obsess about the Mueller

report. It's over, Mr. President. You won. There wasn't any evidence of collusion, and the Justice Department said there's not any evidence that rises to a prosecution of obstruction. You want. To re-litigate it on the campaign trail, I don't know where that gets you. The one interesting part about it is that Mr. Trump threatened last night, if you listen closely, that there would be some prosecutions by the Justice Department under Attorney General Barr in what happened while investigators looked into Russian collusion. Of course, the president also mentioned Hillary Clinton again. You're not running against her, Mr. President.

You've got 24 Democrats you might want to concentrate on. All in all, President Trump entertained his believers, and the campaign will be not boring. I can promise you that.

Now the O'Reilly Update 50, something you might not know. Earlier this week, Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez directly compared immigration detention centers along the U.S.-Mexican border with Nazi concentration camps, accusing President Trump of running a series of brutal prisons with, quote, dehumanizing conditions. To fair-minded, clear-thinking Americans, the Congresswoman's comments are kind of ridiculous. Administration officials say the Department of Homeland Security operates more than 650 immigration detention centers across the USA. Each detainee is formally charged, processed, given free medical care, food, water, new clothing, and a bed.

78% of those held in detention centers are adult men traveling from Central America illegally to the United States and are under the age of 30. There are currently 40,000 foreign nationals in ICE custody. According to NBC News, 22 people have died at immigration detention. centers in the past two years, most from pre-existing medical conditions. The USA does have a massive problem at the southern border. Everybody can see that, but there are no concentration camps. During the 1930s and 40s, Nazi Germany operated 42,000 detention centers. And historians estimate 15 to 20 million people were either murdered or brutalized at these camps. Prisoners included Hitler's political enemies, communists, Jews, prisoners of war, homosexuals, other minorities, and the mentally

disabled. People were brought to the camps by freight cars, used to transport cattle and other livestock. They were given little food or water. The only medical exam was to determine who could be used for labor and who would immediately be executed. In some camps, like Auschwitz and Poland, the average life expectancy for all prisoners was a month. Well, it may be politically expedient for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to compare immigration detention centers along our southern border with concentration camps. It dishonors the memory of those who died in real death camps and those who gave their lives to liberate millions. Maybe Ms. Ocasio-Cortez might do a little reading. Killing the SS would give her the truth. That is, if she cares. Back in a moment.
