But first, House Republicans launching an official challenge to block Joe Biden's vaccine mandate on private business, 160 GOP lawmakers in the House introducing legislation that would override Biden's executive order. Supporters say the mandate is necessary to slow the spread of COVID. Critics claim they

The requirement, the mandated vaccinations on 90 million workers will further damage the economy and cause widespread labor problems. More than 100,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses in the past 12 months, the most ever in American history. That figure is a 30% increase compared to last year. Experts blame the staggering death toll on fentanyl. The synthetic opioid is a hundred times more powerful than heroin, if you can believe it. Between October 2020 and 21, border agencies 11,000 pounds of fentanyl at the border.

That's enough to kill 2.5 billion people. The border is, of course, wide open, and death enters this country every day. Thanksgiving dinner, becoming a heart at a, put on the table. Shoppers report shortages of turkey, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing. A new report says fewer items are available in 67% of stores nationwide. Labor shortages at packing plants creating the chaos, but this should have been anticipated. America's two most popular soda makers getting into the alcohol business. Coca-Cola releasing hard celtars in four different flavors, Pepsi rolling out hard Mountain Dew next year.

O'Reilly, what's next for big media? Once it folds, will something else rise up? It's already happening, Nicholas. So there are literally tens of thousands of podcasts everywhere. And there aren't very many news agencies like mine. Smaller, very focused, but I assume they will start to develop. the corporate media has about five years of making money before it falls off the cliff and the audiences as we've reported are dwindling fast. Tim in Manhattan Beach, California, though you stayed

the last night if you work for the federal government, you need to be vaxed. That is not true for Congress, wonder why. Well, Tim, here's the answer. Congress doesn't work for the federal government works for the people. You are not employed by the feds if you're sitting in the House and the Senate. You are elected and your office gets a budget so that you can do your job. So any mandate from the federal government would not apply to senators and Congress people. Henry, Allentown, Pennsylvania. A bill, I have two children, ages 8 and 11. We're now eligible for vaccine. Recently you stated that you would not vaccinate a child of that age. However, you also mention that unvaccinated individuals are spreading the virus. It seems that vaccinating young

children might be wise. And that is your decision as dad, Henry. So my calculation is based on the transmission rates of COVID between the ages of 5 and 11. They are. very low. And so I wouldn't at this point vax my young children. But you, studying the data, should make a decision based on what's good for your kids. Al Little Rock, Arkansas. New York City voters elect the idiots that destroyed their city. In fact, remains the same in every single Democratic-controlled state. The voters or the cheaters, counting the votes, get these suckers elected. So why should people elsewhere truly care about what goes on inside places like New York City? It's a legitimate point, Al. It's a legitimate

point. So we have chaos in the city. It's where I live, 20 miles outside. And just this week, a judge put a no bail on a thug who stabbed the police off. officer, served time for that, and then hit another police officer over the head with a safe. That wasn't enough for this judge to keep this thug in jail. This is corruption. This is anarchy. And for those of you who don't have systems like this, count yourself lucky. But New York, Chicago, San Francisco, L.A., they're all part of America. And if we're going to solve these problems, we can't be apathetic about them. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Now the O'Reilly update brings me something you might not know. 2021, a very bad year for the entertainment industry. Music sales, movie tickets, TV ratings, all way down since COVID hit.

The media landscape was very different, however, 50 years ago today. Back then, the average American family earned $11,000. Each household had one television set and about 10 channels from which to choose. Here's what the folks who were watching in November, 1971. Number 10, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, that program would sky up to number one a few years later. Number nine, funny face, short-lived sitcom featuring a student working at an ad agency. It was canceled after three months. Eight Spot goes to Manix, Mike Connors, an American detective, and that show ran from 1967 to

Next, ABC's movie of the week. They were mostly made for TV films. This week, the main feature was an action movie called Duel from an up-and-coming director named Stephen Spielberg. Number six, the Electric Company, the children's series, helped elementary school kids improve their spelling. The top five starts with a show called The Persuaders. A noble Englishman joins forces with a Bronx-born American to fight crime. Very boring show. Tony Curtis and Roger Moore starred got canceled the first year. Number four, Gunsmoke. The Western series starring James Arnaz ran for two decades. It's still on Nistalgia TV. Third place goes to Canon. Story centers around a balding overweight ex-cop

who becomes a private investigator while cooking at an upscale restaurant, which is why he Chubby. Second place, Columbo, Peter Falk, was the curious detective solving homicides around Los Angeles. The Most Watch series, 50 years ago today, all in the family. The show debuted in January, became an immediate smash. Archie Bunker and his crew broke ground for discussing topics never before mentioned on television. Homosexuality, race, anti-Semitism, the Vietnam War. As the bunkers would say, those were the days.
