Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Wednesday, March 20th, 2024. Here's what's happening today in America. Major win in Ohio, more abortions than ever. Supreme Court dealing with Texas law

and the worst air pollution is all in one continent. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, a huge win for Trump-Maga conservatives in Ohio. Ohio for the Ohio Senate primary. The average of all the polls on Tuesday was a tie, 26.4 and 26.3 between Bernie Moreno, the Trump endorsed candidate, and Matt Dolan, the Rhino establishment Republican. So it was a tie.

But in the end, Bernie won by 18 points. It wasn't even close. So that polling needs to be recalibrated. They were off by 18. The current senator is Sherrod Brown, a Democrat. in a state that when Brown was first elected, was solidly blue, and now Trump won by eight points. The other senators, J.D. V. V. Wants, for reference sake. I predicted after Roe v. Wade was overturned that there would actually be more abortions as a result, because these states that love abortion

would find a way to make it happen. Alas, chemical abortions are now 63% of all abortions in the United States. In the year 2000, it was 0%. In 2008, it was 17%. In 2020, it was 53% of all abortions, now 63. So along the rise. There's a Supreme Court case in front of them right now about this very topic. In 2023, there were 1,000 26,000 known abortions, a 10% increase from 2020. The Supreme Court decided that they will not block a Texas immigration law from going into effect. They kicked it down to the Fifth Circuit. And just hours later, the Fifth Circuit said, yeah, we're going to block it. So the law, the Texas law was in effect for like two hours, and now it's back not in effect.

The Fifth Circuit will rule and then we'll go back up to the Supreme Court. The feds claim that we have supremacy over anything related to immigration and the state of Texas says, well, you're not doing it. And this is an invasion, which in the Constitution then gives us

the ability to deal with this issue. Of the 100 cities around the world with the worst air pollution, all of them are in Asia. 83 are in India. And all of them exceed the World Health Organization's air quality guideline by more than 10 times. The country with the worst air pollution is Bangladesh, then Pakistan, and then India.

India doesn't have the worst air pollution. Bangladesh does, but India's very big. 96% of their population, 1.3 billion people, it's three times the size of America, live with air quality seven times higher than WHO guidelines. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith, the great Bill O'Reilly. He has your message of the day. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

On this Wednesday, so things are now officially out of control in the corporate media. As you may have heard, Donald Trump told a rally that the USA would experience a, quote, bloodbath economically. if he is not elected president in November.

Predictably, the dishonest press portrayed the bloodbath comment as Trump calling for violence. Even when the deceit was exposed, CNN put up a banner on the screen saying Trump says he wasn't calling for violence. No, CNN. He obviously did not espouse violent behavior,

and you pinheads know that, but don't care. On the NOSPN News, my television broadcast, I said that the corporate media goes after Biden in the same way sometimes. And I'll report that as well. Presto, Fox News commentators claim the president is, quote,

screaming and cursing at his staff because his poll numbers are low. Apparently, an anonymous report says that. So FNC gave it credibility, not right. There is no source attached to that story. Hidden people are not legitimate. The entire media landscape is a land of Oz these days, full of mental munchkins and flying monkeys. And you can quote me. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Name in town if you wish to opine.

Let's go to the mail. We got Charles. Donald Trump's use of the word bloodshed is regrettable. His lack of discipline opens him up to attack by his enemies who purposely mischaracterizes positions. Unfortunately, he will not change, and this will cost him votes. I'm not going to disagree with that, but I don't, I mean, if he wants to say the economy is going to be bloodshed, I don't see anything wrong with that. You said other things that I do see wrong, but not that. Sheila Pechone, Saginaw, Michigan.

Just tell us, O'Reilly, what Biden does do. Why waste time on what he doesn't do? Well, that would be a short segment if I tell you just what he does do. Diana Grilliatt, Parker City, Indiana. I like the information you have on the president's schedule. Remember, yesterday I asked you, you want me to dump the schedule or not? Write me. I got a whole bunch of letters.

Lisa de Christente, Gemma, California, please stop reporting on Biden's schedule. Definitely a waste of time. Ted Shields, Affaretta, Georgia, please continue to report on how little of the people's business Biden does each day. Democratic friends do not believe this when I tell them. It's nice to show them the schedule. Okay, so three to one, the mail ran in favor of continuing the Biden schedule. which we will do. Gil Garcia, Sierra Vista, Arizona.

Hey, Bill, do you think 20 years from now when Donald Trump is a part of history, will the news networks go back to being fair and balanced? I do not. Too easy to make money the other way. You don't have to do investigating. You don't have to have competent people. You don't have to have any standards.

You just tell the folks what they want to hear. I don't think they're ever going back. In a moment. Something you might not know. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not know.

20 years ago today, six American soldiers were charged with torturing captives held in Iraq. The media frenzy changed public opinion about the war on terror and damaged the USA's reputation. Here is the story of Abu Ghraib. Under Saddam Hussein, the military prison was the most known. notorious jail on a planet. It was the site of Delhi executions, torture, horrendous living conditions. Many prisoners were political dissidents or religious minorities inside Iraq. After Saddam was deposed, the Pentagon took control of Abu Ghrae. Beginning in November 2003, reports emerged about the mistreatment of prisoners held in American custody. In early 2004,

60 minutes aired a scathing expose featuring photographs of naked inmates being beaten, electrocuted, and mocked by U.S. troops. The Department of Defense eventually admitted several soldiers had committed egregious human rights violations. One week later, President George W. Bush issued a public apology, saying, quote, the United States is sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation. suffered by their families. This does not represent the true heart of America, unquote. The Senate Armed Services Committee then launched its own investigation. In total, 11 soldiers were convicted of wrongdoing, most for dereliction of duty. Five senior officers were demoted

or resigned. The incident started a national discussion about the legal rights of terrorist suspects. It also exposed the existence of so-called black sites, a network of overseas prisons controlled by the CIA. And here's something else you might not know. The scandal permanently shattered the public support for the war in Iraq. Before CBS News broke the Abu Ghraib's story, four out of five Americans backed the invasion. Afterward, that figure eventually fell to just 28%. And in totality, it besmirched the Bush administration so much that he is going down in history as a mediocre president.
