Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill O'Reilly here. It is Thursday, May 30th, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. And here's what's happening today in America. Nancy Pelosi under pressure from Democrats to move forward on impeachment. Louisiana becomes the latest state in the USA to pass the anti-abortion heartbeat law. Border Patrol agents detain a record number of migrants on Memorial Day. The San Francisco Bay actually more segregated than it was back in 1970, Philadelphia facing a new breed of invader. Also coming up my message of the day on Robert Mueller's behavior yesterday. But first, some politics. Speaker Nancy Pelosi now under pressure from her liberal colleagues to move forward on impeachment. After Robert Mueller's eight-minute briefing yesterday, at least five Democratic.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Democratic presidential candidates are calling for the removal of Donald Trump, saying he, quote, obstructed justice during Mueller's pro. More on this a bit later on. Louisiana, joining other states, passing the pro-life heartbeat bill, effectively banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Governor John Bell Edwards, the Deep South's only Democratic governor, promising to sign the legislation into law by the end of this week. Back to the border where U.S. agents are confirming they apprehended more than 2,200 illegal migrants on Memorial Day in an area near El Paso. The arrest occurred when hundreds of people tried to storm the border and run toward a local high school. The border continues to be chaotic with no end in sight.
Starting point is 00:01:51 San Francisco is not the liberal paradise claimed by many residents apparently. A new study from UC Berkeley shows the Bay Area. area is actually more racially segregated than it was 40 years ago. In 1970, seven of the region's nine counties were more integrated than in previous decades. Philadelphia confronting a growing threat from a new type of urban invader, feral house cats. Experts say the wild relatives of normal pets are taking over vast sections of Philly, with some estimating the number of nasty cats at more than 500,000. Unlike other pests that are killed with poison, officials are trying to find a humane way to remove all these animals. On the bright side,
Starting point is 00:02:38 there has been a severe decrease of Philadelphia's rat population. Coming up, my message of the day is Robert Mueller being unfair to a fellow American. Right back with it. We live in a very complicated world, so it's important that you protect yourself and the people you love. That's why I'm happy to tell you about a company I recommend Wise Foods. Freeze dried food is a modern day miracle. Taste good, is healthy, and most importantly, it stays good for up to 25 years. During Superstorm Sandy, I lost power for seven days.

Starting point is 00:03:47 Or you can call 855-269-0501. That's 8501. 55-269-0501. Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day is special counsel Robert Mueller being unfair to a fellow American who just happens to be the president? The answer is yes. Let's look at the big picture.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Here's what I believe happened based upon observation and personal knowledge. Back in 2016, the Trump campaigned, was somewhat pleased that internet trolls were trying to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign. Donald Trump was vaguely aware of the anti-Hillary stuff, but it was just another campaign occurrence, nothing more. Gossip, if you will. Now, after he won the election, Mr. Trump was stunned that the Russian collusion story dominated the TV media, which he watches all the time.
Starting point is 00:04:53 That surprise quickly turned to anger as the new president sought assurance of his innocence from the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, and the FBI chief, James Comey. Neither man stepped up to support the new president as he wished. Very quickly, Sessions and Comey lost credibility, and Donald Trump eventually fired them. As the media frenzy grew, so did Trump's frustration and he very likely vented to some on his White House staff that the investigation was unfair and should end.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I have known Donald Trump for 30 years. He is a venter. He speaks with emotion. But the president apparently did not actually do anything other than Fire Comey, who was involved with a variety of dubious things, as the world will soon see. Robert Mueller heard stories about the Benton, but well knows that is not a crime. In the end, Mueller found no solid evidence of obstruction. Therefore, he should have simply said that loud and clear.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Instead, he suggested that President Trump. might be guilty of something, and Congress might want to find out what that something is. Robert Mueller, well-knowing, that statement would fuel the impeachment movement. Now, prosecutors like Mueller rarely editorial law, because it obliterates the evidence factor. No evidence, no crime. That's our system. If Mueller does have evidence of a crime, he could have easily written it in his almost 500-page report, as Ken Starr did with President Clinton. Robert Mueller treated Donald Trump unfairly, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:07:05 to offload liberal media criticism of himself. not exactly a profile in courage. If you can't prove it, drop it for the good of the country. And one more thing, fair-minded Americans should understand that this entire matter, the investigation of President Trump, is now a political, not a legal play.

This week, the World Health Organization officially classified. video game addiction as a disease. The global public health agency reports that the addiction is characterized by, quote, pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behavior that takes precedence over other life interests.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It can lead to addicts skipping meals, work, and school. They also lose interest in a social life or even finding a life partner. The classification should not come as a surprise to many parents who see their children spend countless hours staring at a computer screen or tapping away at their controller. According to the American Psychiatric Association, gaming addicts may display behavior similar to those addicted to drugs or alcohol, withdrawal symptoms, deceiving family members about the amount of time spent gaming, and an inability to quit or reduce the amount of time spent playing. Experts say the personal impact of a video game obsession is similar to those struggling with gambling addiction,
Starting point is 00:10:15 but without the horrific financial implications. Just like everything else, moderate gaming should not be a problem. But the new classification does highlight a growing issue in this country. People are increasingly disconnecting from reality and retreating into a fantasy world of instant gratification. According to the Entertainment Software Association, more than 150 million Americans play video games with the average gamer being 34 years old. That's about 40% of the entire population. So what do we do about the issue? Should there be a gamers anonymous in your neighborhood all around the country? Rehab clinics that specialize in gaming detox? Those days might not be far off.
Starting point is 00:11:03 In the meantime, there are steps you can take. to help protect your kids. It's obvious. Limit their playing time. Keep it to a few hours a week. Encourage children to pick up a hobby outside of the digital world. While the kids might resist at first, they will thank you down the road. Parents have to be strong. Addiction brings pain.
