Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the best of the O'Reilly update. How much do you know about Jesus, the Nazarene? Some historical facts. Five BC, Jesus was born. Four BC, Jesus, Mary, Joseph traveled west to avoid persecution from King Herod, and then eventually return to Israel. 8 AD, Jesus visits the temple in Jerusalem as a boy. 25 AD, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist and begins his ministry. 26 AD, Jesus gains a major following for some reason which we will discuss. 27 AD, Jesus delivers his sermon on the

the Mount. Twenty-eight AD, Jesus returns to Jerusalem with his disciples, where he is crucified by the Romans as an insurrectionist. Now, you may remember that I wrote a book called Killing Jesus, a history of the Nazarene. No religion in the book. Our research took us to Israel, where the government opened its historical files on that period of time. which were a tremendous help. And then we went to Italy in the archives there to get the Roman records of what happened to Jesus as the Romans were occupying Palestine, that's what it was called then, and kept meticulous records. Now, the number one thing that I found out as not only an author, historian, but as a human being,

is that Jesus of Nazareth was doing something that began to attract thousands of people to hear and see him. Now, in killing Jesus, we don't have any miracles. How could we? They have to be documented by physicians, and there is no record of that. However, the Roman and Jewish spies, which were following Jesus around, because both the Sanhedron in Jerusalem, the Jewish authorities, and Pilate to some extent, were worried about these big crowds.

Those spies reported miraculous hearings, and that's where the miracles in the New Testament come from. So bottom line on Jesus of Nazareth is that he, a poor stone cutter, became the most famous person who, ever lived.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Monday, well, another Memorial Day is upon us, the symbolic beginning of summer. Unfortunately, some Americans have no blank an idea what Memorial Day even is. The holiday honors Americans who were killed in war. there are millions of them. Many died from disease, so then I counted in the killed-in-action

category, but obviously their sacrifice is the same. My grandfather was a hero in World War I, and my cousin performed heroically in Vietnam. The pain of their experiences never left them. It wasn't so much what they themselves suffered, but the death and maiming of their friends on the battlefield. Those vivid memories never go away. After the Vietnam War, many Americans turned their backs on the military. That was wrong. Americans fought valiantly against the totalitarian communists who were armed by China and the Soviet Union. We had saved South Korea from enslavement, but tragically could not duplicate that in the jungles and rice paddies. primarily because of political decisions.

In totality, American military personnel have freed billions of people worldwide from evil countries. That is what Memorial Day is all about. The nobility of our armed forces is etched in history.

ten years i understand you're independent but what does i'm not a republican kind of guy mean i said that i'm not a republican kind of guy very good question susan excellent question by the way it means that both parties in my humble opinion aren't doing their best for america so the republican party is scattered there's no leadership there who's the leader who no one um and they don't articulate a lot of the things that they want to accomplish like abortion they don't they don't say why they want to limit it or what the other side is doing and how that violates humanity. They just, there isn't any articulation

coming out of the Republican Party. That's what I mean. John Sato Hicksville and New York. Though you can say you don't care about same-sex marriage, and as a Catholic myself, I do care about the word marriage. It's a civil union. Marriage is a religious thing and not a state thing. It's a religious thing in some sex.

SECTS. But marriage in America is a state thing. It shouldn't be, but it is. And anybody who's gotten divorced or been involved in some kind of contention during a marriage, you're going to get blasted. So my philosophy is I want all Americans to pursue happiness on an equal basis. right and if gays want to get married i don't care they're going to be subjected to the same insane laws civil laws that everybody else is in a moment something you might not know power politics and the people behind the headlines i'm miranda divine new york post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast podforce one every week i'll sit for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers,

Five years ago today, a political organization founded by billionaire George Soros departed his native country of Hungary after it was kicked out by the government there. The group set up shop in Berlin to continue its global operation.

Here is the story behind George Soros, one of the most influential people on the planet. planet. Soros born August 12th, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary. His life was uprooted in 1944 when the Nazis invaded. His Jewish family used false passports to avoid the concentration camps. After the war, George moved to England, where he studied at the London School of Economics. The family then relocated to New York City. There Soros began his career in finance. By 1984, the Hungarian had amassed a staggering net worth of four billion dollars. He created the Open Society Foundation, a network of political organizations focused on promoting very liberal values in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

In 2003, Soros founded the Progressive Think Tank, the Center for American Progress. His network gave unlimited money to dozens of far-left. groups, including MoveOn.org. Soros personally has given $1 million to help elect Barack Obama, 8 million to Hillary Clinton, 20 million to Joe Biden, and 128 million to Democrat candidates during the 2022 midterm election cycle. In total, Soros-backed institutions have distributed $32 billion worldwide to the far left. Now today, Soros has focused on local elections. As of April, 2003, Soros had distributed $40 million

to radical left district attorneys. And here's something else you might not know. Folks living under Soros-funded DA suffered the highest crime rate in the USA.
