Bill O'Reilly here, Tuesday, November 29, 2022. You're listening to The O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Protests continue to sweep China. Half the country says America has poor values. Shrinkflation returns during the busiest shopping season of the year. Disney CEO Bob Eiger defends the company's woke agenda. Also ahead, we are being deceived about gun violence.

But first, anti-COVID demonstrations erupting across China, hundreds of people hit the streets in Shanghai and Beijing to protest the Communist Party's draconian COVID measures. The government so far refusing to change its zero COVID policy, so millions have been ordered to remain indoors to slow the outbreak. Officials instructing everyone to keep a 14-day supply of medicine and bottled water as the lockdown continues. Survey from Gallup finds 50% of the public believes America has poor moral values. That's up 18 points since 2004.

A third of us say our values are fair. 78% think society is getting worse. Just 12% think the culture is good. Folks blame the moral decay on lack of religion, poor parenting, the media, and a personal sense of entitlement. Companies, once again, reducing product sizes to cope with inflation, shrinkflation, now affects roughly 50% of all household goods in the grocery stores. Manufacturers slashing the quantity of paper towels, ice cream, juice boxes, boxes, bottle water, coffee, shampoo, laundry, detergent. Between the consumer price index and shrinkflation,

the actual inflation rate in America is about 11%. More on high prices than the holidays coming up later. Disney CEO Bob Eiger defends the company's woke agenda. The executive speaking with employees said, quote, the core value of our story telling his inclusion, acceptance and tolerance. We can't lose that. Of course, that's not the issue of Bob Eager. It's teaching little kids about alternative lifestyles which you support. And that's why Disney is getting hammered. In a moment, gun violence. We are being misled. Right back.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. mass shootings in America, the corporate media is not reporting the truth.

The definition of a mass shooting, a single event where three or more individuals are harmed or killed by guns. In 2021, last year, there were 690 mass shootings in America. Of those, the number of mass shootings involving a loan, Gunmen? Think of Aldi. Was? Ready? Seven. Seven. The other 683 incidents involved suspects engaged in criminal activities like drug dealing, burglaries, home invasions. A large percentage are also domestic disputes. Now, handguns were used in 78% of mass shootings. But few were used, understand what's really going on because the corporate media lies. They want to get guns

banned, particularly AKs and heavy-duty rifles. So they avoid telling us the American people the truth. Again, out of 690 mass shootings last year, only seven were committed by lone gunmen. Why is this happening? The reason is that the media in America is overwhelmingly liberal, wants gun control, that is, wants the federal government to tell Americans how they can protect themselves, and would like to see most guns banned. But the media is unwilling to actually define the real problem. on the streets having guns which they use during criminal activity, primarily narcotics trafficking.

So why wouldn't the media cover that? Because most of the drug gangs in America in the urban settings are African Americans. And that's why. So the media never wants to put a harsh spotlight on black crime ever so they ignore this and concentrate on these psychopaths who go into stores and churches and schools and chew people up but there are very few of them and by the way even if you banned every gun in the world there would still be guns on the streets of America there are 300 million plus in circulation right now. They're not going to disappear. And the criminals will always be able to get guns. Whereas the law-abiding people who want some measure of self-protection,

the left would say, no, you're on your own. So once again, a massive deceit in the gun crime situation in America, it's really revolting. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.
