Senators Elizabeth Warren and Camilla Harris are tied for the third spot, 8%, while Mayor Pete and Congressman O'Rourke round out the top five with six and five percent, respectively. Now, the same poll shows Sanders in trouble with young voters, Support for the Vermont Socialists among Democrats between the ages of 18 and 29 has dropped sharply from 45% in March to 33% this May. It's an important demographic for Sanders because it helped him carry a second place finish against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The 46-year-old Texan has struggled to pick up momentum. since announcing his candidacy in March, polls in early primary states have been disappointing for him.

And now the O'Reilly update brings you the message of the day.

In criminal proceedings, if an American is found not guilty of a crime, then charges cannot be brought again with the same allegation. That's called double jeopardy, and it's not permitted under our legal system. If a prosecutor investigating a criminal allegation does not bring formal charges for whatever reason, the subject of the allegation must be considered innocent under the law. In fact, ethics dictates that investigators go out of their way to protect uncharged citizens, so they will not be tainted in any way. But now, the Congress of the United States, along with the press, seem to be rejecting so-called due price. undermining one of the pillars of the U.S. Constitution. It began on social media when extremists

put forth that all women must be believed when lodging allegations against men. Never mind, there is a lucrative industry set up to bring lawsuits claiming abuse, and many of these cases have been found to be bonus. Nearly every corporation in America has to buy insurance in order to fend off lawsuits demanding money for, quote, misbehavior. Then came the horrendous Brett Kavanaugh hearings when sitting U.S. senators like Kamala Harris and Corey Booker, along with veterans like Diane Feinstein, tried to convict the judge of terrible crimes based solely upon accusation. Later, the FBI found absolutely no evidence at all against the judge. but the senators who smeared him have never apologized.

Some of Kavanaugh's defenders used the words witch hunt based upon the 17th century executions of alleged witches in Salem, Massachusetts, 19 human beings brutally put to death in the Salem hysteria. And the current senator from that state, Elizabeth Warren, may have been very comfortable with the proceedings based upon her lack of support for due process. The situation is actually dire on many college campuses across the country. There are panels of administrators hold, quote, hearings on alleged misbehavior that can ruin a student's life. Radical leftists are usually the one supporting these so-called tribunals. But the absolute worst is the American media, which makes celebrities out of people like Stormy Daniels.

Headlines scream about lurid occurrence, regardless of validity. Again, this kind of irresponsibility almost destroyed the entire Kavanaugh family. Think the media was remorseful? Sure. Finally, even though the Mueller report found no crime on the part of President Trump, the media and many Democrats stand by their conviction of him. He colluded, he obstructed. Cable news outlets continue to speculate, promoting absurd conspiracy theories and hysterical claims of a new, quote, constitutional crisis.

Like the Salem judges, we know what happened. We don't need hysteria. So file the nation's abandonment of due process under social justice or lack thereof. And that's a message of the day.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. There's an old saying that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert. on anything. The 10,000-hour rule has become a popular explanation for expertise, but it only tells part of this story. Like it or not, some people are just naturals. No story illustrates that fact better than a boy named Giuseppe Paolo. Like most boys, born into a family of Sicilian immigrants, Giuseppe was expected to follow in his father's footsteps. For him, that meant a life as a fisherman, As a young man, the family would work the father's fishing boat in the waters of San Francisco

Bay. It was difficult work, long hours, and the smell of dead fish nauseated the young Palo. He absolutely hated it. The kid would do just about anything to get off that fishing boat. At age 10, two of his brothers took him to a local sandlot where they introduced him to the game of baseball. His brothers were amazed at how quickly Giuseppe took to the sport. Without any practice or training, the boy quickly became one of the most valuable players in the neighborhood. At age 16, Giuseppe dropped out of high school and made his debut the following year as a shortstop on a local team. He didn't do it for the love of baseball. He did it because the sport kept him off the fishing boat.

Baseball would eventually take Giuseppe across the country where he'd become one of the most celebrated players in history as a member of the New York Yankees. His most notable achievement began 78 years ago this week when Giuseppe Paolo, better known as Jolton Joe DiMaggio, began a 56-game hitting streak, a Major League record that still stands.
