Bill O'Reilly here Monday, May 9th, 2022. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. Putin's celebrating Victory Day in Moscow. Pro-abortion activists target Catholic churches. COVID surging in some states. Tourists rank the best beaches in the USA. Also ahead, does President Biden understand American history?

But first, millions of Russians marking Victory Day, the national holiday commemorates the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. Twenty-six million Russians perished in that conflict. Vladimir Putin spending the day in Moscow presiding over a parade as his invasion of Ukraine falters. The UN now estimating as many as 10,000 Russian troops have been killed since the fighting in Ukraine began. February. Pro-abortion activists protesting at Catholic churches across the country. The uproar comes days after a leaked Supreme Court documents suggest Roe v. Wade could be struck down in June. That decision would send the issue of abortion back to the states. It would not ban it. Another radical group called Ruth Sent Us is calling for protests at the homes of conservative Supreme Court.

Justice is, a dangerous and fanatical move. Cases of COVID rising in some parts of the country infections up 250 percent in places like New York City and Los Angeles. Hospitalizations up 10 percent nationwide. The CDC believes new sub-variance of COVID could infect another 100 million Americans by Christmas. Today, COVID has hit 82 million of us. causing at least one million deaths. A report from TripAdvisor reveals the country's top 25 beach destinations. Most of the good ones or the best ones can be found in Hawaii, California, and Florida. The best stretch of sand goes to Siesta Key just south of Sarasota, Florida, beautiful place.

Other popular spots, Wacky Key in Honolulu. Washington Beach, south of L.A., and the Hamptons out on Long Island. Another top destination, Cape Cod, Massachusetts for those willing to brave chilly waters, and the occasional Great White. In a moment, don't know much about history. Could be a problem. Right back.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. Don't know much about history. Remember the Sam Cook song? Well, if a teenage Kamala Harris had been a student in my American history class,

she would have flunked. Same thing for Joe Biden, although chalk wasn't even invented when he was in high school. Many of our leaders are clueless when it comes to how the United States was actually founded. Let's go back in time to win Tom Jefferson, Jemmy Madison, and Ben Franklin were figuring out exactly how a government by the people and for the people would work. Remember, there were no models. In Europe, the peasants had few rights and did what the kings told them to do or else. The American colonies were a divided bunch at first. In order to get all 13 to fight against England, compromises had to occur. Thus, slavery was not addressed in the Constitution, even though Massachusetts and other areas in the North believed it was wrong. Colonial leaders well understood

that about 50% of the colonists would not oppose the English king no matter what. So accommodations were made for those who would fight. Tom, Gemmy, and Ben did not want a powerful federal government because it would be too easy for an American king to emerge after we won the Revolutionary War and obliterate the Constitution. In addition, the three architects of our freedom feared a military coup. That's why the Second Amendment's in there to guarantee folks would have the right to bear arms in case a dictator tried to seize power. Now, a memo to Ms. Kamala and Mr. Joe. The founders wanted the individual states to deal with all social issues like abortion. That's why the 10th Amendment was invented. It states that any policy not

delegated, that means stated, in the Constitution should be handled by the states. Hello, Roe v. Wade. there is no citation for abortion or marijuana or gay marriage or most other personal matters in the Constitution. Therefore, those issues fall under state authority, different strokes for different folks in the individual 50. However, if a state violates the constitutional rights of Americans, think Jim Crow laws, then the federal government has the power to stop the state from doing that with force if necessary. In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion throughout the United States, citing privacy. But there is no privacy guarantee in the Constitution. There's a private property provision, sorry Bernie Sanders, that allow citizens to live with outside intrusion in their

domains as long as they don't violate the law. And another fact, with abortion rights, there is not just one individual. There's another presence within the domain. That would be the unborn fetus. And that's the controversy. Do Americans have the right under the Constitution to kill the unborn? In June, the Supreme Court is likely to rule 5-4 or 6-3 that each state has the authority to regulate abortion. And that's what will happen under our Constitution. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

You don't want to miss an episode. Red hot. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know. On the stay, The House Judiciary Committee began formal hearings on the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. Exactly three months later, he would become the first commander-in-chief to resign from office.

Here's what went down. Two years earlier, 1972, a group of men were arrested at the Watergate Hotel Complex in D.C. After breaking into the Democratic National Headquarters, the suspects had ties to the White House. President Nixon denied any direct involvement, but several staffers were eventually implicated in the crime. In July 73, members of Nixon's inner circle revealed the existence of secretly taped conversations between the president and his senior a's. Nixon refused to turn over the audio. He claimed the material was protected by executive privilege. A judge ordered the tapes to be turned over to federal investigators. The White House provided some, but not all of the

tapes, including one with a portion that was erased. On May 9th, 1974, members of the House began impeachment hearings against Nixon. On July 27th, two articles against the president were passed, one for abuse of power, the other for contempt of Congress. A week later, the White House complied with an order from the Supreme Court that it provided transcripts of the missing audio, the new evidence clearly showed President Nixon was involved in covering up the Watergate break-in. On August 9th, Nixon quit, becoming the first sitting president to voluntarily leave the office. And here is something else you might not know. It was another kind of tape that actually brought down Nixon.

The burglars at the Watergate Hotel used duct tape and super glue to bypass security doors. An overnight guard saw the duct tape, then called the police. The rest, as they say, is history. The Watergate situation tore the country apart. But justice,

was finally done. As Richard Nixon's reign came to an end. Back after this. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning
