Bill O'Reilly here Thursday, October 3rd, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Bernie Sanders suspends all campaign events following a health emergency. The National Rifle Association declares victory over San Francisco. Americans spend more on taxes than food, clothing, and health care combined. New survey reveals the least and most tax-friendly states. in the nation. Also, I had the message of the day does the press intentionally lie about President Trump. But first, Bernie Sanders canceling all future campaign events after being hospitalized on the campaign trail in Nevada. The 78-year-old underwent a heart procedure after complaining

of chest pains in Las Vegas. Sanders using the incident to promote his Medicare for all programs saying none of us know when a medical emergency might affect us. But here's a fact. Congresspeople get the best health care in the world. But in many single-payer countries, there are long waits for a heart procedure like Bernie Sanders underwent. The National Rifle Association declaring victory in its legal fight with San Francisco after that city designated the gun rights group as a, quote, domestic terror organization. Mayor London Breed, releasing a memo, admitting her administration cannot legally stop businesses in the city by the bay from working with the NRA.

The average American paying more tax than ever before, handing the government about $18,000 per year on average. That's higher than household spending on food, clothing, electricity, phone bills, and health care combined. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. adults spend $17,000 annually on those basic necessities. New Study says the least tax-friendly states in the USA are Illinois, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. In total, taxpayers in these states can hand over more than 50 cents of every dollar earned. All of the governments there are Democratic. The lease tax states Nevada, Tennessee, Florida, and Alaska. The best for your wallet, Wyoming. Residents there pay a 4% sales tax. Counties can charge a maximum of 2% and there's zero state income tax. Single resident Wyoming earning $100,000 will take home $75,000 a year. That number goes down as $62,000 in New York City quite a difference. In a moment, do some in the national

media intentionally lie about Donald Trump to make him look bad. Right back with that.

President Trump said yesterday that the national press is basically corrupt. Is that true? But let's look at a dispatch released this week. The New York Times published an excerpt from a book called Border wars inside Trump's assault on immigration. The authors Julie Hirschfield Davis and Michael Shear are Times reporters. In one passage, the writers say this, quote, the Oval Office meeting

this past March began, as so many had, with President Trump fuming about migrants. But this time he had a solution. As White House advisors listened astonished, he ordered them to, and he ordered them to shut down the entire 2,000-mile border with Mexico by noon the next day. Privately, the president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aids to seek a cost estimate. He wanted the wall electrified, which spikes on top that could pierce human furtimore. flesh. After publicly suggesting that soldiers shoot migrants if they threw rocks, the president backed off when his staff told him that was illegal. But later in a meeting, AIDS recalled,

he suggested they shoot the migrants in the legs to slow them down. Unquote. Now, this incredible reportage is based on interviews with more than a dozen White House and administration officials, say the author. However, they were all granted anonymity to describe sensitive conversations with the president and top officials in government. So, we don't know who they are. The New York Times uses anonymous sources almost every day to trash the president. In my book, the United States of Trump, there are no anonymous sources. Everyone is, quoted by name. No one ever heard about gators and snakes being used for border protection. And I've talked to dozens, perhaps scores of people who work with Donald Trump. No one has ever

heard anything about that. No one had ever heard about electric fences or spikes that would pierce human flesh being used for border protection. Only a comedy skit could devise a scenario where the president of the United States was ordering alligators to be shipped to the southern border. Now, Donald Trump is not known for comedy, and I do not believe he proposed using alligators and snakes in a moat. The use of phantom people to slime any American, seems to be brutally unfair. Sadly, many Americans do not ask these kinds of questions. They simply believe whatever they read, especially if they don't like somebody. Senator Kamala Harris immediately believed the Gator Steak thing because she wanted to believe it. This is the country

in which we all live. It's awful. And that's a message. Please check out my latest book of the United States of Trump. We posted an excerpt on bill o'Reilly.com. We hope you go there and read it this weekend. TV commentary on Bill O'Reilly.com. Up next, something you might. Not know. Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with cancer or a serious illness.

The U.S. military has more than 800 bases around the world, spanning 74 countries occupying 24,000 square miles of foreign land. Wherever there are Americans or American interests, our men and women of the armed forces are likely nearby. Soon, they will expand into space. Earlier this year, President Trump signed a space policy directive four, calling for the creation of a sixth branch of the

armed forces, the space force. The new service will join the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy as the first military edition in more than 70 years. Quote, it's not enough to merely have an American presence in space, the president said. We must have American dominance in space. So what can we expect from the new Space Force? Well, under the current plan, the service would fall under the jurisdiction of the Air Force, the same way the Marines are administered by the U.S. Navy. The proposal would create the position of Under-Secretary of the Air Force in Space and the Commandant of the Space Corps, who would join the President's Joint Chiefs of staff. But I hope the Commandant has a spiffy, space-themed uniform.

Economists say the new service will cost $2 billion in its first five years and would require 15,000 full-time employees, not counting wukies. Once established, the Space Force will oversee America's expansion into space and potentially the moon, administering satellites, missile warning systems, providing support to other branches of the U.S. military. And here's something you might not know. The Space Force will also have jurisdiction over the burgeoning space tourism industry. More than 700 people have already bought tickets on virgin galactic flights. Space X is planning paid trips to the moon as early as 2023. Experts say the extraplanetary tourism sector could be worth billions of dollars in the next decade. But what about the flight delays?

be tough to be stranded on the moon, wouldn't it? Finally, the motto has to be, may the Space Force be with you. Back after this. You know those robocalls you get?
