Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill O'Reilly here Friday, November 15th, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. The big story this week, of course, impeachment. Two State Department officials were questioned over the president's dealings with Ukraine by members of the House Intelligence Committee, led by Congressman Adam Schiff, who I do not believe likes President Trump very much. First in the docket, George Kent, State Department career guy, top Ukraine official, then William Taylor, acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. Democrats labeled the hearings a, quote, solemn day for America. Republicans called the event a show trial to undermine the 2016 election. The heart of the testimony this week hinges on the president,
Starting point is 00:00:59 intent, whether he used his position to leverage foreign politicians to investigate the Bidens for political purposes, or, as Mr. Trump claims, to help root out corruption. It's clear to all fair-thinking Americans that the impeachment hearings are a partisan exercise to damage President Trump and the Republican Party heading into the 2020 general election. Not one Republican congressperson is supporting impeachment. The evidence so far is scant. The Democrats accusing President Trump withholding aid to Ukraine if the country refused to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's conduct in Ukraine. The argument has one fatal flaw. The aid was delayed a few weeks, not with hell.
Starting point is 00:01:55 The Ukraine never opened an investigation into Joe Biden. Now, the whole thing sets a terrible precedent going forward, of course. From now on, all future presidents can be dragged into an impeachment show trial based on subjective material from an opposition party if that party controls the House. This isn't good. Going forward, the Democrats will ultimately have to end the inquiry and decide whether or not they want to hold a vote on impeachment. A simple majority in the House is needed to impeach.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Donald Trump. If articles will pass, a trial is held in the Senate presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts. But no one believes the Senate will convict Donald Trump as 66 senators would have to vote that way. So why are we doing this? Coming up, my message of the day on how Americans are processing the political hatred back after this. American financing is a mortgage company for everyone.

Starting point is 00:04:00 Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day, processing impeachment and political hatred. So CBS News took a poll earlier this month, and it said that 52% of Americans think this whole impeachment thing is a bad situation, 48% like it. 75% of Republicans believe the whistleblower in the impeachment inquiry his motives were to damage Donald Trump. 13% of Republicans believe the whistleblower's motives were to protect U.S. interests. 7 and 10 Americans paying at least some attention to the impeachment thing, as was the case last month. Democrats paying more attention than Republicans or independents. According to Politico, 81% of Americans say there's little or no chance they'll change their mind on impeachment. 50% support it, 41% oppose it, the rest of them don't know what's going
Starting point is 00:05:01 on. But the whole thing is sad. It's bad for the country, as I have stated, on television, on Bill O'Reilly.com, and on this radio broadcast. What are we gaining here? The Senate is not going to remove Donald Trump. There has been no sensational evidence or even vivid evidence. put forth so far, the first day of testimony was boring. And Americans are going to start to tune out. Now, in the case of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, you had crimes. Richard Nixon obstructed justice. It was proven. You could hear it on the tape. Bill Clinton committed perjury. He lost his law license. Those are crimes. You have to take action if you're in the House of representatives. Now, Clinton was not removed. Nixon didn't want to submit himself to impeachment,
Starting point is 00:05:57 so he resigned. Now, most Americans believe this whole thing is a partisan political exercise designed to damage Trump because the Democrats really don't have anybody to run against him. Now, this whole thing will be over, I think, before Christmas. Maybe I'm wrong on that. I might extend into January, but it'll be over fairly soon. And then the campaign of 2020 begins. So this is really interesting. You have an incumbent president Donald Trump who is as polarizing as any president who's ever been in the Oval Office. Yet, the economy is booming. People are working. Salaries are going up. If Donald Trump gets a trade deal with China, which he says he will do, that's going to really help him. Also, there are no new wars.
Starting point is 00:06:50 our conflicts are under control. So Donald Trump has a record to run on. He's not going to be easy to beat, and his supporters are adamant. On the Democratic side, there is an opportunity because Donald Trump is so controversial. However, not one Democratic candidate has stepped up and captured the imagination of the American voters. And the big money men within the Democratic Party are very, very worried. That's driving a lot of this impeachment stuff. So now Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York, is in the race. Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts, but neither of those guys is going to really shake anything up. They're moderates. That's why they're in. All in all, the Democrats really don't have much going right now. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message.

Members of the club include Nirvana songwriter Kurt Cobain, legendary guitarist Jimmy Hendricks, singer Janice Joplin, The Doors singer Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, and Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones.
