The House Intel Committee speaking with two State Department officials yesterday. The testimony was largely hearsay and anticlimactic. For Democrats, President Trump coerced a foreign ally to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. According to Chairman Adam Schiff, Trump officials quote, press Ukrainian authorities to investigate the Bidens, since Vice President Joe Biden was seen as a political challenger, unquote. But Republicans say the show trial is meant to de-legitimize a 2016 election, ranking Intel member Devin Nunez, telling the panel, quote, Anyone familiar with the Democrats scorched earth war against President Trump would not be surprised to see all the typical signs that this.
Starting point is 00:01:29 is a carefully orchestrated media smear campaign, unquote. We'll have more on what all this means coming up in the message of the day.

Defend yourself at hometitledlock.com. Hometitlelock.com. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. The impeachment hearings yesterday were a fiasco. Nothing was proved. Hearsay dominated. Few minds were changed. The media has already convicted President Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors, but they did that the first day he took
Starting point is 00:04:22 office, demonstrating a disturbing bias. At CNN and MSNBC, at the New York Times, at the Washington Post, Trump is guilty. Just one example, MSNBC is Nicole Wallace, quote, some GOPP House members going from occasionally reasonable to Trump shills, unquote. Ms. Wallace used to be a Republican, but is now one of the most vehement anti-Trumpers. Now, I believe Americans will begin to tune out the impeachment stuff, primarily because it's boring. There was no drama yesterday. Yes, President Trump wanted to know about Joe Biden and possible corruption in Ukraine. That's true, but it's not impeachable. Even if aid was delayed, and it looks like it was held up for a few weeks, the Justice Department
Starting point is 00:05:22 is also looking into corruption in Ukraine and everywhere else involving the 2016 election. By the way, the Washington Post, which despises President Trump, actually gave Adam Schiff four Pinocchio's for claiming, quote, I have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. Now, for Pinocchio's means Adam Schiff is lying, according to the Washington. Post. But is anybody surprised? No. The only surprise here is why this impeachment thing continues. With no drama, an American short attention span, people are going to begin to tune out, and that means the television networks won't broadcast it, leaving it to the cable networks, which will do what they always do. The pro-Trump network will say nothing there. The anti-Trump
Starting point is 00:06:18 network will say this is the worst thing since Richard Nixon. But in the end, there will be no removal of Donald Trump. He knows it. The Senate knows it. The House Democrats know it. Everybody knows it. So this whole impeachment thing is to try to damage Donald Trump in the election of next year. Now, this whole thing damages the country.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Makes us look foolish overseas because people will pay attention in Burma or India or Columbia, South America, they're not locked in. They're just seeing, oh, there's corruption in America, this, that, anything other thing. That's damaging. And here, we have some vexing problems that need to be solved. Do we not? The border, the dreamers, the deterioration of cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. We have problems with China. We have Middle Eastern problems. And these people are sitting around going, oh, what did you do? I heard he's may have said so. It's just absurd. It's really, really insulting to all of us. If you don't like President Trump, vote them out. It's less than a year. Americans will have their say at the

According to various studies, religion is one of those important elements of life for more than 93% of the global population. While most people subscribe to the top five faiths, social scientists say there are now more than 4,000 belief systems across the planet. Let's take a look around the world at how some of them are doing, China. Despite a communist atheist government, there are more than 240 million Buddhists within China's
Starting point is 00:09:39 borders. Buddhism does not acknowledge any particular God, choosing instead to focus on inner peace. Monks symbolically shave their heads, an outward rejection of worldly desires. Next up, India, with more than one billion Hindus. That religion dates back 4,000 years, but its origins are unclear. Hinduism isn't really a single movement, but a mix of traditions. Islam. The world's second largest religion, 1.6 billion followers. The movement started in 622 AD, won the Prophet Muhammad, traveled from Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia now, a pilgrimage carried out by millions of followers every year. The trek can be dangerous, a stampede at the holy site killed 2400 people back in 2015.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Next, the Rastafarians with a million followers across the Caribbean and Africa. Members of the faith believe Ethiopian emperor Hali Salasi was their reincarnation of Jesus Christ. They also consider smoking marijuana a holy sacrament, a tribute to a higher power, so to speak. The planet's biggest religion is Christianity, 2.2 billion believers around the globe. About 50% of all Christians are Catholic. The rest comprising hundreds of different nominations. Jesus Christ, of course, the creator of the Christian philosophy. And here's something you might not know. One of the world's fastest growing spiritual movements is a lack of one. About 500 million folks now identify as atheist or agnostic,
