Mr. Biden now promising to protect 20 million acres in Alaska from energy corporations. The national price for a gallon of gas is up 37 percent, from 2.5 in December to 308 in May, and we'll go higher this summer as the president continues to attack fossil fuels.

At least 118 predators have been tagged up from 11, 11 back in 2013. Scientists say sharks are returning to Massachusetts to feast on the exploding seal population, but maybe they're just looking to meet Elizabeth Warren. In a moment, the trust factor. Some have it. Some don't. Right back. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

That was a 1950s quiz show that starred Johnny Carson.

Did you know that? Well, the same question is being asked today by the Harris polling people. The survey sampled 36% Republican, 37% Democrat, 25% independent, so it's kind of fair. The question, do you have little or no faith in the following? Health care providers. 32% don't like them, so that means the majority of Americans have faith in health care providers. government, 35% trust, state government, 40% trust, the criminal justice system, which is on the ropes in many places, as you know, 44% of Americans still trust the criminal justice system. 48% don't like organized labor.

That means 52% supported, that's a pretty low number. How about the federal government? Ready? 52% of Americans do not trust the feds. And the absolute least trustworthy in this poll, corporate media, 53% say it is untrustworthy, which is true. So let's look at the two big losers, the feds and the press. With the controversial Donald Trump and now the far-left Joe Biden running things, it is no wonder

many of us have a dire view of the federal government. Then there's Schumer, Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, the congressional leadership. So, Americans are dubious, word of the day, dubious about the people. running the federal government. That doesn't mean they're all bad or corrupt. Donald Trump got 74 million votes, but Joe Biden got about 80 million. So people did take sides there, but that doesn't mean they trust what's going on in Washington, and the country, in my opinion, is on the downside. Now, the media, This is just absurd now. So yesterday, the ratings for cable news operations came in for the month of May.

It's a disaster. All of them, hemorrhaging viewers. And you would say, why, why? It's not a lot of options. I mean, it's not like people are running into network TV to watch the dopey sitcoms and Hawaii 5-0 for the 80th time. They're not. They just had enough.

They've had enough of partisan shows. of unfair presentations of boring hosts. They're out of there. And network news not far behind. I mean, look at 60 minutes. Is 60 minutes the program it was 10 years ago? When Mike Wallace and Morley Safer were there? Come on. It's not even close. So Americans in general know the fix is in. They're not getting the truth from the media. And they hate that. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve the message by writing it. For more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

You don't want to miss

an episode. Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Santa Cruz, California, well known for its nice beaches, redwood forest, and liberal politics. But the quiet town on the northern edge of Monterey Bay was once a center of a national debate between traditional Americans and a growing counterculture. Sixty-five years ago today, the Santa Cruz Police Department officially banned rock and roll. On June 3rd, 1956, city authorities pulled a plug on rock at all public gatherings, calling the music, quote, detrimental to both the health and morals of our youth and community, unquote. Now, the debacle started 12 hours earlier. Hundreds of teenagers packed the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on a Saturday night to enjoy the music of Chuck Higgins and his

orchestra, an African-American group from LA. Santa Cruz police entered the auditorium around midnight to check on the event and what they found, quote, was a crowd engaged in suggestive and tantalizing motions induced by the provocative rhythms of the all-negrove band, unquote, from the Santa Cruz police. Uh-oh. The band gained national attention and actually, led to the movie Footloose. A bunch of local high school students in Santa Cruz organized a protest at the DA's office to bring Rock back. A growing backlash from business owners prompted the city manager Robert Klein to loosen the restrictions. And here's something else you might not know. Klein later told reporters he dropped the rock band to lure young artists away from nearby

San Francisco, and it worked. By the 1960s, Santa Cruz had become the hottest destination for hippies, poets, musicians, and even some movie stars. The iconic boardwalk was featured in dozens of films and TV shows. Global acts routinely performed at the amphitheater, including Elvis, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Jimmy Hendricks, and of course the Beach Boys. Even Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr, enjoyed a two-week vacation in Santa Cruz during the summer of 1963. Let's hope old Ringo did not dance suggestively. Back after this.
