But first, 25% of U.S. adults now back budget cuts for America's law enforcement agencies. A new survey from the AP also says 69% believe major changes are needed to stop police brutality.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. Polling, do you believe it? Recent polls have Joe Biden defeating President Trump in November, sometimes by 10 points or more. I believe if the election were held tomorrow, Mr. Biden would win, but not by a large margin. That's because many Americans are depressed over COVID and the assaults on traditional USA values. Depressed people usually vote for change, but not always. And things change in America very quickly. So a snapshot today does not apply in November. You may remember that most polls predicted Hillary Clinton would win back in 2016. Only the Rasmussen poll had it correct, and me, but I'm just a guy, not an expensive polling operation. So here's why many

polls, perhaps most, are fraudulent. First, the polling companies are hired guns. Operations, corporations, companies pay them, and often very subtly indicate that they want a certain outcome from the poll. So there is what they call methodology. But when the poll is released, you don't see that. You've got to go to the polling website to see the methodology. So let me give you an example. In almost every poll taken with Biden-Trump, there are from five to nine percent more Democrats queried in the poll. Why? Well, the polling operation says, well, because there are, are more registered Democrats than Republicans in the USA. That's true, but the outcome of elections doesn't mean everybody's going to show up. So the fair way to do it is 50-50. If you want to get

an accurate indicator of how people are thinking about a certain question, a political question, then there are the independence. Now, this is the real scam here. So, they usually do 30% Democrats, 24% Republicans, and the rest, independence. Okay, where does that independent side? Is he or she liberal? Is he or she conservative? They don't tell you that. It's just independence.

And here's what happens. So in any polling, you can go to a certain geographical region. And some of these polling places say, yeah, we'll make a lot of calls in San Francisco and Seattle because they know that independents there are going to choose Biden much more than Trump. But that is disguised. It's called stacking the regions. Also, these internet polls are foolish. Senior citizens don't participate.

Working people are not on the internet polls. Rural people don't do them. it's urban people. Polling headlines push some Americans in a certain direction. And that is the plan. That's what you're seeing now. So don't believe the polls. They'll only matter in early October after a couple of debates. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by actually writing it.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 28 years ago today, musician Billy Joel finally graduated from high school. He was 43 and he joined more than 300 Hicksville High School students on Long Island for commencement back in 1992. He was one English credit short in 1967, so he never got his degree back then. Said Joel at the ceremony, quote, I can finally pull myself out of this dead end job, unquote. Today, Billy Joel has sold 150 million records. Here are some interesting facts about one of America's most accomplished songwriters. Starting with his famous New York

pedigree, he's known as Mr. Long Island, but Billy Joel was actually born in the Bronx. His family moved to Hicksville when he was won. Before breakout hits like Piano Man and Captain Jack, he took a few hits in the boxing ring. He won more than 20 bouts, but decided to throw in the towel, so to speak, after his nose was broken during a fight. Joel was not always a solo act. He formed a psychedelic pop duo, Attila, before his big break. They had one album. Some critics have called it the worst album in the history of rock and roll. I don't know if Billy would agree, but it's pretty bad. In 1971, Billy Joel released his first solo studio album called Cold Spring Harbor, but it flopped due to a production era. All the songs were sped up. Joel thought he sounded like Alvin and the chipmunks. The songs were eventually corrected, but the musician, to this day, is not happy about it.

In 1973, new label, new album. Piano Man brings Billy Joel his first top 20 hit and his most famous moniker. Almost 50 years later, Mr. Joel has had more than 30 singles, six Grammys, a Tony, and a Kennedy Center honors. plus his Hicksville High School diploma. And here's something else you might not know. The piano man's wall at home filled with honorary degrees from Stony Brook, Hofstra, Fairfield, Syracuse, and other nationally recognized universities. Not bad for a high school dropout.
