Time now for the Riley update. Message of the day, will the real Joe Biden please stand up? The former vice president is, of course, set to run against Donald Trump in November, and the key question now is, what does Mr. Biden really stand for? Here's a rundown. He once considered himself somewhat conservative. In a 1974 article in the Washingtonian magazine, Biden was quoted saying, when it comes to civil rights and civil liberties, I'm a liberal, but that's it. I'm really quite conservative on most other issues, unquote. Apparently, that has changed. On abortion, Joe Biden once supported the high that restricts federal funding for abortions because some taxpayers oppose the procedure

on religious grounds. Now, Biden supports tax dollars for the procedure, even though he is a Roman Catholic. Joe Biden also refuses to comment on issues like partial birth abortions, saying, quote, each abortion is a tragedy, but he will not support any limits. On the crime front, the former VP spearheaded the 1984 Comprehensive Crime Control Act, along with very conservative Senator Strom Thurman. It increased penalties for drug use, cracked down on organized crime, as well as inner city gangs. Today, Joe Biden believes too many people are incarcerated in the USA, and too many of them are black and brown. He says, quote, To build safe and healthy communities, we need to rethink who we're sending to jail.

No one should be incarcerated for drug use alone. Black mothers and fathers should feel confident that their children are safe walking the streets of America. What about gay marriage? Well, in the 2008 vice presidential debate with Sarah Palin, Joe Biden said, quote, neither Barack Obama nor I support redefining from the civil side what constitutes marriage. Now Mr. Biden has changed, quote, I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, unquote. On taxes, Mr. Biden wants more. Quote, increased taxes on wealthy Americans

to finance the $1.7 trillion climate plan. Well, that would be an awful lot of new taxes. On marijuana, Jill Biden says, quote, there's not nearly been enough evidence that has been acquired as to whether or not it's a gateway drug. But two weeks later, the former vice president said, I don't think it's a gateway drug. There's no evidence I've seen to suggest that,

Mr. Biden does not oppose legalized pot. On illegal immigration in 1996, Biden held passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act. That law will more than double the number of agents patrolling the border and allowed for the immediate deportation of those who commit a misdemeanor or a felony. In 2006, he voted for the Secure Fence Act. So you can see that Joe Biden has changed a lot of his opinions.

COVID quickly climbing the list as one of the planet's worst pandemics, 5.5 million cases worldwide, resulting in at least 350,000 fatalities since January. But it's not even close to the deadliest virus of all time, the Black Plague. 200 million killed from 40 separate outbreaks spread across six centuries, including one in California. Here's that story. In 1906, 3,000 San Franciscans died

in one of the worst natural disasters in American history. A 7.9 magnitude earthquake destroyed 80% of San Francisco. Raging fires left 250,000 people homeless. With infrastructure destroyed, garbage and sewage piled up in the city by the bay. A local report described the situation as a, quote, rats paradise, and he was right. Thousands of rodents descended on San Francisco. bringing with them a deadly pandemic from the Middle Ages. On May 27th, 1907, 113 years ago today, a sailor crossing San Francisco Bay suddenly fell ill. He was rushed to the hospital, mingled with nurses, doctors, and other patients who were all baffled by the symptoms, swollen neck, painful armpits, and a raging fever. Within a month, 40 people,

had contracted the black death, the bubonic plague. The solution was summed up in a New York Times headline, quote, stamp out plague by killing rats. Every rodent is doomed, unquote. Officials launched a $2 million attack on California's rat population, and it worked. The state was plague-free by 1909. About 200 Californians died from plague back then, and here's something else you might not know. The black death is still around. Each year, the CDC reports a few cases, mostly from hikers getting a little too friendly with wild rodents. It can typically be knocked out now with antibiotics. The bug is most commonly found in New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, and California. Back after this. Our world has changed when you venture outside.
