Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, May 9th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. Texas gets ready for the invasion. Gun control bill moves forward.

This has never been more expensive, and a missing boy has been found. That's all coming up, and then Bill will be here with your message of the day. The governor of Texas, is deploying 10,000 specially trained National Guard members from the Texas Tactical Border Force and 1,200 Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers

to secure the Texas border. We can compare this to the 1,500 troops that Biden is sending to the border who will have no contact with illegal immigrants. They'll be doing data entry, according to the White House spokesperson. But in Texas, these national guardsmen will be deployed to hotspots along the border

to intercept and repel and turn back migrants. who are trying to enter taxes illegally. Thursday is the end of Title 42. We'll stay in Texas. State lawmakers moved forward a gun control bill that would raise the legal age to buy certain guns to 21, as well as prohibit firearm sales to those who are intoxicated or who have a protective order against them.

Two Republicans joined all the Democrats on the committee and supported the bill in an eight to five vote. Parents of the victims of Uvalde were in Austin to promote the bill, and the vote was taken just a few hours after that shooting at the mall in Texas. We have all seen the effects of inflation, obviously, but if you've been in the market for a new car recently, you've seen it the most. From March 2021 to today, the price of a new car has gone up 19.4%. The average new car costs, what do you think, $48,000.

Lower income people then are just not buying new cars, spending on new cars by the poorest 20% of earners has fallen to its lowest in 11 years. But don't worry, they'll just buy a used car, right? Well, those prices are up 20.3%. And finally, an 8-year-old boy was on a family camping trip in Michigan, northern Michigan, at a state park, and he went out to collect some firewood and then disappeared. Two full days of searching, he was found yesterday. He was found staying warm under a log.

He survived two days without evening or. or drinking anything. He gathered branches and leaves to cover himself at night. Eight years old. He did see a helicopter overhead once, and he tried to signal it, but they didn't see him. 150 people searched an area over 40 miles. He was found two miles from the campsite. When they announced that he was found at his local elementary school,

the principal said it was like being at a big football game with our winning touchdown being scored. The entire school lit up in cheers. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith.

On this Tuesday, very bad news for President Biden in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, his job approval is at an all-time low hovering around 36%. The not knowing that he visited Ireland thing has obviously heard him. But a word of caution,

the political polls in May, only reflect daily perceptions. Serious polling on the 2024 presidential race will begin in August as the primary season picks up. Nevertheless, Mr. Biden is in deep trouble and honest people who care about America realize that. His performance is dismal. He barely works according to his daily public schedule.

His ability to problem solve, almost nonexistent, and most people poll believe he is mentally diminished. Faced with that, the Democratic Party and its rabid allies in corporate media must now swing into full-time protect Joe mode, which is a step up from the soft treatment the president has received from the beginning of his term. Expects some polling that props him up and a spate of articles celebrating his achievements. Of course, the brutal media attacks against his main rival, Donald Trump, will continue unabated. The media campaign should fail, as Mr. Biden will sink deeper into incompetence.

He will not be able to debate or even campaign much. So that's where we are seven months before the primary voting begins. Both political parties have challenges as the cliche goes. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. you can reach me bill at bill o'reilly dot com bill at bill o'reilly dot com name in town if you wish to opine now let's go to the mail okay let's go to the mail we got karen meredith and mill creek washington bill why is president by and accepting foreign money less important than reporting

it on his taxes in other word if he did it would it be a crime it's a lot easier to prove tax evasion than bribery so if it's established that Joe Biden took money from his son Hunter and didn't put that money on his tax return. Remember, $12,000 is the limit. You can take $12,000 as a gift, but no more. If you get more money than that, you've got to declare it. Biden's out. He's out that day. Bribority, that would be a long, long process. Jeff Conway Boston, as someone who pays attention, doesn't forget things that people say, you, O'Reilly said, and you broadcast many times in the last couple of years, if Joe Biden pardons his son, that'll be the end of his presidency. Yeah, there would be.

Even his allies in the press couldn't protect him. It's over. Tim Roby, the village is Florida. Okay. Since the dereliction of controlling our southern border is an impeachable offense, why can't we impeach both the president and the vice president so the speaker can take over. Tim, you're living in a dream world down there in the villages. Okay, number one, there's no grounds to impeach a vice president. It shouldn't make policy. Number two, there's no way you get a conviction with the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Impossible. Remember, two-thirds. Now, you could impeach Biden easily, and that would pass the House. would pass the House, I believe, but it's just what they did to Trump. It would amount to nothing. In a moment, something you might not know.

Forty-nine years ago today, the House Judiciary Committee began formal proceedings to impeach President Nixon. Just three months later, he would be the first chief executive to resign from office. Here's how Nixon went down. Two years earlier, a group of men were arrested at the Watergate Hotel complex in Washington while breaking

into the Democratic Party's national headquarters. The suspects all had loose ties with the White House. Richard Nixon denied any involvement, but several of his staff were eventually implicated. In July 1973, members of Nixon inner circle said the existence of secretly taped conversations between the president and his senior aides was a reality. Nixon refused to release that audio. He claimed the material was protected by executive privilege. A federal judge ordered the tapes to be turned over. The White House then provided some but not all of the conversations, including one with a portion of the audio intentionally erased.

On May 9, 1974, members of the House began impeachment hearings against Nixon. On July 27, two articles against the President were passed, one for abuse of power, the other for contempt of Congress. One week later, the White House complied with an order from the Supreme Court that the administration provide transcripts of the missing audio. The new evidence clearly showed Nixon tried to cover up the Watergate scandal. On August 9th, Richard Nixon resigned, and he signed his letter of resignation, becoming the first Commander-in-Chief ever to quit the job.

And here's something else you might not know. It was another kind of tape that brought Nixon down. The burglars at Watergate used duct tape and super glue to get through the security doors at the DNC headquarters in Washington. While making an overnight sweep of the premises, a part-time security guard saw the tape and called the police. The rest, as they say, is history. Back after this.
