But first, Nancy Pelosi calling President Trump, quote, morbidly obese after learning he was taking a controversial drug to stave off COVID, adding he should be concerned because of his weight group. Mr. Trump responding, saying, quote, Nancy Pelosi is a sick woman. woman who's got a lot of mental problems. Now, now, class, let's stop that kind of thing. New poll says 82% of Americans want monthly stimulus checks given to them. An additional 60% back nationwide freezes for student loans, mortgages, and rent payments because of COVID.

Visitors will pass multiple signs blaring, quote, by visiting Walt Disney World, you voluntarily assume all risks related to a exposure. That's COVID, of course. Disney hoping to avoid lawsuits when the parks reopen on May 27th. In a moment, Georgia's on my mind. How's this day doing after reopening? Right back. Edward and his wife, Margaret, were looking forward to retirement. Edward started having serious health issues a few years before he turned 65 and had, to take an unplanned early retirement.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, as you may know, the state of Georgia, now mostly reopened, hair salons, barbershops, bowling alleys, they're up and running. Dine in restaurants, theaters, they're open, but you have to distance. The only thing that remains closed are bars that serve alcohol only, no food. schools are expected to open in August for the fall term. Now, the press doesn't like that at all, hammering Governor Kemp. So let's take a look at some facts, not ideological hysteria. On May 12th, there were 863 new cases of COVID in the peach tree state, May 12th.

All right. A week later, 299 cases. That's a big drop, despite the reopening. But we have to wait because the stats go up and they go down. They go in and they go out. The most important statistic in Georgia and every other state, how many people are hospitalized with COVID, not new cases. So we really don't know if the reopening of Georgia is a success. We will know next week. But there's no doubt that whatever happens in the peach tree state, the press will spin it negative. So if anything happens in Atlanta or Savannah or Tybee Island, if people get COVID, that'll be page one. If there is little virus intrusion, that'll be page 36. There's only one major newspaper in Georgia,

the Atlanta Journal Constitution. It's a far-left operation. So that's what you can expect. Now, what's going on? Why can't the news media report what's happening in Georgia, Texas, California, New York, every state, in a fair way? Why can't that happen? Because Americans need to know about states reopening and how things are handled. Well, it all has to do with Donald Trump, you know that. The left-wing media, some of them anyway, think that president is worse than the pandemic. So if the American economy stays shut down, Donald Trump's chances of being re-elected go down. We've discussed how Joe Biden. Biden is not a strong candidate. But what you're going to see going forward is not Joe Biden for

president. It's Joe Biden and the entire Obama administration will come back if you vote for the former vice president. That's what the strategy is going to be. So it is worth the press's time to dishonestly report about COVID if it hurts Donald Trump's reelection chances. And that is obvious. I mean, why isn't every member of the American media rooting for a successful reopening in Georgia, right? Don't we want the people in that state to prosper? Don't we want every American to prosper? Don't we want a good economy to come back? Well, the answer is no. Many of us don't. And in the media's case, it is a scandal. 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. 50 years ago today in 1970, more than 100,000 protesters took to the streets of Lower Manhattan, to support American troops fighting in Vietnam, not dissent. Demonstrators demanded a U.S. victory in Southeast Asia, carrying signs denouncing Hanoi Lindsay, a reference to the New York City

mayor, John Lindsay. They were even showered, the protesters were, with ticker tape from surrounding skyscrapers. The idea of thousands marching in solidarity with the Vietnam War, sounds strange today, especially in liberal bastions like New York City, where parades are largely reserved now for sports heroes and national holidays. The American people are currently more divided than at any time since the Vietnam War. The public mostly split down the middle on President Trump's handling of COVID, about 50% disapprove in the latest polls, 45% back to White House. 82% of Republican support Mr. Trump's response, so he's in pretty good shape going into the Republican Convention in August. 12% of Democrat support Mr. Trump's fight

against COVID, 12%. Another poll says Americans are concerned about Washington's partisan game playing. 60% see Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is acting solely on the behalf of a party, not the people. The Democrats' latest $3 trillion virus relief package is filled with far-left stuff that has nothing to do with the pandemic, protections for recreational marijuana, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and funding for cultural institutions. One Republican senator called the bill, quote, dead as fried chicken. And here's something else you might not know. While Americans are divided on the response to the COVID, just about everyone agrees it's the biggest challenge facing the USA. According to Pew Research, 98% of Americans now rank the

spread of infectious diseases as the greatest threat to the country. International terrorism held that top spot for nearly three decades before that the Soviet Union. Now, it's a bug.
