First of all, I did not hear one difficult question from the four moderators, all of whom are Democrats. This is a tremendous disservice to the viewers of the debate. Second, the fix was in. Not one question or comment. directed to Joe Biden about the Ukraine situation, not one by the moderators or the under or the other candidates. Unbelievable. Mr. Biden, as you know, is caught up in the Ukraine situation because his son Hunter was paid millions of dollars by a corrupt Ukrainian gas company while Joe Biden

was vice president and dealing directly with Ukraine. If president, Trump is in trouble over Ukraine, then why isn't Joe Biden being held to scrutiny? Again, not one question so you know the fix was in. Here are the grades last night. Let's start with former Vice President Biden. I gave him a B. He still looks befuddled out there. He's not very swift. He stammers all the time. But he's candid about not being a far left loon. He does not pander like some of the other candidates. And that takes guts because the Democratic Party right now, allied with the media, is very sympathetic to the far left. Mr. Biden not taking that tact, although, as I said, he does look a bit confused. Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend,

Indiana, gets a C because he had a big opportunity last night. He could have gone after. Joe Biden did not, as I explained, and he could have defined himself in a much better way. Mayor Pete on the rise in some polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two votes. So he's got a chance. But I kept waiting for him to say something memorable, and he did not. He's got the resume, Harvard, Oxford, the Navy. He doesn't have much experience, but Mayor Pete is a contender. Corey Booker gets a see as well. He is a very affable man, articulate, explains himself well. I have no idea what he's talking about. He did not distinguish himself last night. Amy Klobuchar, pretty much the same thing. I gave her C-plus, articulate, looks to be honest. Senator from Minnesota has no chance. Now, Kamala Harris, the senator from

California, is a different story. She is really unpleasant, hard to like. She attacked Tulsi Gabbard, I'll get into that in a minute. But I give her a D last night. She did not help herself at all. Bernie Sanders also gets a D because Bernie doesn't have anything to say. He says the same thing over and over and over and over and over. And they don't even ask them any questions anymore. Elizabeth Warren got a C, same old stuff, tax the rich, give everybody stuff. He's getting tiresome. Andrew Yang loved the guy. Game in A. No chance, but he is amusing. He's up there. I admire him. Tom, Steyer, the billionaire. I gave me a D. I have no idea what he's talking about. And Tossey Gabbard,

the congresswoman from Hawaii, I gave her a B. She threw it right back at Harris, Harris accusing her of being a Republican plant or something. All in all, I didn't learn very much. I watched it. I'm sorry I did. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by actually writing it. For more commentary, please go to Bill O'Reilly.com. Check out my new book, The United States of Trump.

Americans have been celebrating Thanksgiving for almost 400 years, the first time in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a three-day feast starring pilgrims and Native Americans. Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving at federal holiday during the Civil War, stressing the importance of family and reunion. Next week, Americans will continue the tradition getting together for food, family, and football. That's alliteration. Remember your English class? If you are hosting, you're likely preparing a few of the classics. Statistics show more than 80%

of homes will have a turkey. And two and three folks will be reaching for the mashed potatoes. Fair warning, one in five Americans now expect a gluten-free dish on the table. But America's most popular size really depend on where you live. New Englanders love squash. In the South, mac and cheese and cornbread. Midwest, they like rolls and biscuits. Out west, salads, not fond of carbs on the West Coast. All in all, Americans will eat 8 billion calories next week, 8 billion, about 4,000 per person.

It'll take you 10 hours on the treadmill to burn that off. Now, if you're not in the kitchen, you may be on the road. 55 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more to get to the dinner table. Wednesday, the busiest travel day of the year, drivers beware. 50,000 people are seriously. hurt in accidents on Thanksgiving weekend each year. Then there are the shoppers last year, 165 million Americans chased Black Friday bargains, spending close to $4 billion, the average shopper shelling out $300 for Christmas

and Hanukkah gifts. And here's something you might not know. While many workers have Thanksgiving Day off, it's actually the busy time of year, for the Butterball Turkey, company. Their customer service department will answer more than 100,000 questions this season, making sure you do not burn that bird. Back after this. Bill O'Reilly here with an important message.
