The presidential election now five days away. Philadelphia imposing a curfew to stop rioting. Disney World fires more workers. The UK cancels Christmas over COVID. Eight and ten Americans now seriously stressed out over the
Starting point is 00:00:30 country's future. Also ahead, will the collapse of the media directly affect how Americans vote? But first, more than 75 million of us have already cast ballots for either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Ladies polling says the two candidates basically are tied in 10 battleground states. The president targeting the media in his final pitch to voters saying, quote, we don't have freedom of the press, we have suppression of the press. More on this in the message of the day. Philadelphia ordering a citywide curfew to stop protest violence. All residents told to stay inside between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. More than 250 people have been arrested since rioting started earlier this week following the police shooting of a man wielding a knife. At least 45 officers have

Starting point is 00:02:25 is at its lowest point since the Revolutionary War. A majority cite racial tension, COVID, and the impending presidential election as a source of stress. But things will get better. First strike, the vaccine. However, things will not improve for the corrupt media. That is next.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. national debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets, and meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

Starting point is 00:03:49 And that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. No matter what happens on Tuesday, the American media will be the big loser. From George Stephanopoulos asking cupcake questions of Joe Biden to 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl telling President Trump there is no verification. of spying on his 2016 campaign to the failure to cover at all financial questions regarding the Biden family. The media has been a disaster this election year and is now a totally corrupt industry. There's no doubt about that. Corporations control 90% of the national news.
Starting point is 00:04:49 flow. When President Trump leaves office, that could be four more years or it could be for more months. When that happens, the television news industry will collapse because Americans, no matter what their belief system, no, they cannot depend on TV news or their major newspapers for honest information. It's quite clear. Now, I know all the players. I know George Stephanopoulos. I know Leslie Stahl. And I have to say that I'm surprised that they would go in the tank for Joe Biden. But maybe I'm the one that's naive. Maybe I'm the one that's not seeing clearly because from the very beginning of Donald Trump's quest for the White House, the corporate media has looked upon him as a vulgarian. And then, against all odds, when he won the presidency four years ago,
Starting point is 00:05:56 the press was appalled. There are two reasons. Mr. Trump's personal style offends the fat cats in the corporations. And secondly, he has embraced the conservative movement because they are his core supporters. And the corporate media in America is decidedly and fervently liberal. So you could make a case that Donald Trump has really destroyed the American media because they hate him so much that they've corrupted their coverage of politics. And it's true. There's no two sides to the story. The Hunter Biden situation, whether you think it's important or not, is a legitimate news story. It is being blacked out by the major networks, by the major newspapers, and by two out of the three cable news operations. That means you cannot get information about it.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Again, whether you're a liberal or conservative, that's a fact. So why on earth, after the presidential election is over, would you invest any time in the American media? They are not going to tell you the truth. Will anyone think that George Stephanopoulos, ABC News's chief correspondent, is worth listening to anymore? Anyone? And 60 minutes, Mike Wallace, the late Mike Wallace, he must be rolling over. The American media is done. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve the message by actually writing it. In a moment, something you might not know.

Starting point is 00:08:33 91 years ago today, more than 16 million shares was suddenly sold on the New York Stock Exchange, billions of dollars lost, thousands of businesses went under. Millions of Americans saw their savings disappear in minutes. October 29th, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday, the beginning of the Great Depression. The USA and the rest of the world would plunge into a decade of the longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of Western civilization. But what exactly caused the crash? Well, during the 1920s, the U.S. stock market underwent rapid expansion, reaching its peak in August 1929, after a period of rampant speculation during the roaring 20s. That meant folks were borrowing money to buy risky stocks. Prices began to decline in September, 1929.
Starting point is 00:09:39 On October 18, the fall began. Panic soon set in. Millions of people ran to their banks to withdraw their money. Others immediately sold stock at any price just to get out. By 1932, three years later, the U.S. stock market was worth just 20% of what it once was. Nearly half of America's banks had failed. President Roosevelt's new deal struggled to revive the economy and had a little success, but it was America's entry into World War II years later that really relaunched the stock market and the American
Starting point is 00:10:19 economy. Investments in mining, steel, energy, and agriculture help propel the USA to the strongest economy on earth by the end of the war in 1945. And here's something else you might not know. One of the biggest factors behind Black Tuesday's rapid meltdown was the aging infrastructure on Wall Street. Old technology and a rapid rise in volume meant tickers were running hours, even days behind. By the time people realized what happened, fortunes were lost and lives were ruined.
Starting point is 00:10:53 To fix the problem, New York City officials, installed new cable systems and a backup generator. Most of that equipment still used today. Back after this.
