But first, Bill O'Reilly here, and I'll lay odds that the title and mortgage to your home just hit the hand. of identity thieves.

Starting point is 00:03:50 protection. No obligation. Do it all online. Go to HomeTitlelock. HomeTidalock.com. Hometidalock.com. Now the O'Reilly update message of the day. President Trump's so-called feud with the late Senator John McCain was back in the headlines last week. After the commander-in-chief was accused by the media of instructing the Navy to hide the warship USS John McCain during the president's visit to Japan. initial reports in the Washington Post, MSNBC, and others blamed Mr. Trump, suggesting his motives
Starting point is 00:04:32 were childish or even unprecedented. The Wall Street Journal broke the story saying the president wanted the destroyer, quote, out of sight. Some media even reported the administration was barring American sailors aboard the McCain from taking part in official events featuring the president. The senator's daughter, Megan McCain, called President Trump a, quote, child who will always be deeply threatened by the greatness of my dad's incredible life, unquote. But the truth of this matter is a bit different than all the reporting. President Trump spoke with reporters outside the White House shortly after the story broke,
Starting point is 00:05:15 flat out denying he had any idea what they were talking about. As it turns out, a single White House staffer made the request to the Navy after scouting locations for the President's visit to Japan. According to Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, a 24-year-old employee saw the warship, knew the President's feelings about Senator McCain, and made the request without the President's approval. The Navy confirmed the correspondence, saying they were asked by one person to minimize the boat's visibility of possible during Trump's visit. The boat was never moved, remaining in normal formation with other U.S. ships. Of course, the media still hasn't corrected the initial report or stated the actual facts surrounding the so-called scandal, as I have just stated to you. them, President Trump is always a villain in their media theme park. Just a few weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:06:25 multiple outlets reported the president was preparing to deploy 100,000 U.S. troops to the Middle East. It responds to growing threats from Iran. Not true. President Trump calling the story another example of fake news. The list of phony stories surrounding President Trump grows longer and longer. He removed a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. He instituted a Muslim ban. He caged children at the border. He worked with WikiLeaks to steal Hillary Clinton's emails. Absurd doesn't even begin to cover it. It's no wonder millions of Americans are cutting the court on cable TV or canceling their newspaper subscriptions. Will these media outlets ever take one minute to explain more than two years of sensationalized reporting surrounding the Mueller
Starting point is 00:07:19 situation? I wouldn't count on it. It's media malpractice, and it makes this journalist very sad and angry. Americans need honest reporting. On that note, for more news and analysis, please head on over to Bill O'Reilly.com and check out the no-spin news every night beginning at Eastern Time. Up next, something you might not know, but first. I have been telling you about a first time buyer in Texas. Now I want to show you the other side, a seller who found an agent on real estate agents, I trust.com. A home seller in a very hot market needed to relocate quickly. Their agent suggested the following steps. One, priced a home just below similarly priced homes in the area to ensure high demand with multiple offers. Two, staged the home so that it stood
Starting point is 00:08:15 out with great pictures, no clutter, and great curb appeal. Three, market aggressively to fellow agents providing a timeline for accepting offers. This created a big sense of urgency for buyers interested in the home. Four, their agent reviewed the offers quickly, communicated with the owners about the caliber of the offers, strong financing, cash, closing date, so many factors to consider. And five, after just three days on the market, the seller's got 5% over their asking price. And the buyer agreed to pay closing costs. This is why you need a great agent from real estate agents, I trust.com. Get the job done. Get moving. Real estate agents, I trust.com. That's real estate agents, I trust.com. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might
Starting point is 00:09:02 not know. This country is experiencing one of the worst information crisis is. ever. Fewer and fewer people are reading local papers, watching the evening news, or relying on cable to get the facts they need on a daily basis. We all know ratings are plummeting for major networks like CNN, but the problem is far deeper. According to a new study published by Pew Research, employment at America's newsrooms is down 23% in 10 years. That's an amazing statistic. More than 27,000 media jobs have disappeared since 2009. In 2019, the entire press industry consists of just 90,000 people. Let's compare that with some other American economic sectors. There are more than 13 million people working in the U.S. healthcare industry. Two million work in the American movie business.
Starting point is 00:09:59 2.6 million are employed by insurance companies. 13 million are in manufacturing. The editor of the New York Times predicts most local newspapers will be gone within the next five years. So what's causing the rapid decline of America's newsrooms? The answer is simple. It's all about money. CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, their content is no longer driven by honesty. It is driven by money. The bosses are making a choice. They know attacking Donald Trump 24 hours a day, every day, is good for short-term business. But what happens when President Trump leaves office? For many in the media, ratings come first.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Journalism and afterthought. This is fueled a rapid decline in loyalty among many Americans. Studies show 45% of us think the media has gotten more biased in the past 25 years. We cite fake news and anonymous sources for our distrust. Twice as many young adults, ages 18 to 34, said partisan bias was a major factor in their lack of trust. The survey also said people would tune in or subscribe should media outlets, quote, verify facts before reporting, unquote. With the previous two years of President Trump and the coverage surrounding his administration, I wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon.
Starting point is 00:11:29 We'll be right back. The economy may be growing, but America's trade war with China means that, there could be financial uncertainty on the horizon. Most experts agree that higher tariffs and trade barriers may lead to market volatility endangering Americans' retirement savings. You can't let your guard down. You have to protect your family and your finances. That's why many Americans are turning to physical gold and silver to safeguard their retirement accounts and life savings.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And a relatively new law allows you to own physical gold and silver as part of your eye To get you started, the Hartford Gold Group is giving a free silver coin to all of my radio listeners.
