Let me translate that. Kids are significantly dumber.

And schools are dangerous places for kids to be with the violence and the chaos in the hallways and now in the classrooms.

On this Thursday, the saga of Hunter Biden took a predictable turn this week when the Nepo guy took a plea deal from a justice department that did not want any part of his situation. It took five years for the U.S. attorney in Delaware to allege that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on more than a million dollars and lied on his application to buy a handgun. A small ball case like that should have taken five months, not five years. The tax charges incredibly are misdemeanors. The gun crime is a felony, but it'll be expunged if Hunter behaves in the future. Mr. Biden did not
Starting point is 00:04:18 receive jail time, and he'll most likely just pay a fine and be put on probation. Without a doubt, the Biden family soaked the corrupt worldwide financial system for more than $10 million, some say $20 million, while Daddy Joe was vice president. That happened beyond any doubt. As a mafia guy said in Godfather, too, the Bidens just wanted to wet their beaks. and Hunter got soaked. The unanswered question is whether Big Bird Joe got a taste. Don't know, but the guys lived large for years without a salary backup. I do know that.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I suspect the Biden money trained story is not over. Republicans smell cash in the water if that's possible. Two congressional committees are Biden their time about whether Joe Biden himself receive bribes. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

Ann Hill, Mountain Home, Arkansas, you said on the notes of the news that Trump didn't turn over the documents when asked. First, how do you know that they really asked for the documents? I'm skeptical of anything that government does. And information, the request from the National Archives, was presented to the grand jury. That's what prosecutors do. They present evidence, their evidence, to the grand jury.

Starting point is 00:06:56 It's called double jeopardy. Bill Forrest, Woodbridge, Virginia, your assessment of the Hunter Biden outcome reminds me of how I see things. I expect nothing, so I'm never disappointed. When someone surprised me by doing the right thing, it is an unexpected gift. That's a good philosophy. I don't have high expectations of humanity anymore, but I get angry when people do the wrong thing. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

Starting point is 00:08:09 Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Forty-six years ago today, the former Attorney General of the United States went to prison for conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction of justice in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. Here is the story of John Mitchell. After a brief career at a prominent New York City law firm, Mitchell became acquainted with Richard Nixon. He was a close political advisor to Nixon and managed his successful campaign for the presidency in 1968. He was appointed Attorney General in 1969, then stepped down in 72 to manage Nixon's re-election committee.
Starting point is 00:08:52 John Mitchell abruptly resigned after the arrest of several men who were caught burglarizing the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington. In 1974, he was indicted on charges that he had conspired to plan that break-in and that he had obstructed justice and perjured himself during the time. the subsequent cover-up of the affair. He was convicted in 1975, sentenced to eight years in prison. Shortly before noon, on June 22, 1977, John Mitchell began his sentence at the Maxwell Federal Prison Camp in Montgomery, Alabama. He is the highest-ranking official in American government to ever serve prison time. In total, he was incarcerated.
Starting point is 00:09:41 for 19 months. John Mitchell died in 1988 from a massive heart attack while walking on the streets of Washington, D.C. He was 75 years old. And here's something else you might not know. It was Richard Nixon's personal audio tapes that took Mitchell down.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Recorded conversations show Mitchell was instrumental in not only plotting the Watergate break-in, but also paying off the culprits after they were arrested. He wanted their silence. In total, nearly two million dollars was spent to protect Nixon during the scandal. The hush money did not work. Richard Nixon remains the only president to resign from office. If he had remained in the White House, he might have joined John Mitchell in a federal penitentiary.
