A report ranks the most dangerous cities. in the country. Also ahead, is it all over for network TV? But first, a survey for Maxio's

fines, 35% of Americans believe the president should have the power to remove judges if their decisions go against the public interest. 43% disagree, 22% don't know. The overall approval for the Supreme Court is at a historic low of 36% after the Roe v. Wade ruling. Now, if presidents could fire federal judges, including those on the Supreme Court, our system of checks and balances would evaporate. The CEO of Disney proclaiming victory in his company's fight against Florida Governor DeSantis, Bob Chappick, telling the Hollywood reporter, quote, stood our ground against a barrage of attacks from some politicians.

These are complex social issues where we absolutely want to represent the needs of our employees and consumers, unquote. Well, Chapic is talking about Disney's opposition to the don't-say gay bill, which some Americans believe indoctrinates young children. U.S. families now spending more on taxes than groceries, clothing, and health care combined. Data from the federal government shows the average household pays $15,000 every year on basic necessities, but we also pay $17,000 on average in taxes. Food right now, the highest expenditure, family spending $800 a month on groceries up from $6002 years

ago. A report from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals the cities with the highest homicide rates. The most dangerous towns in America, Flint, Michigan, St. Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and the highest murder rate, New Orleans. These 210 people have been murdered there so far this year, passing the entire year of 2020. The Big Easy, now the ninth most dangerous city on Earth. moment, CBS, NBC, ABC, in trouble. Right back.

I bet you didn't watch. Very few people do these days. And the question is, will network TV survive? All in a family. Happy Days, Mary Tyler Moore, Ed Sullivan, all legendary network shows. Almost every American was aware of them and most watched. Well, those days are over, and we are in far less happier days, pardon upon, when it comes to the networks. Recently, NBC said it may cut back its primetime programming between the hours of 10 and 11.

The plan would be implemented as soon as fall 2023. Under the proposal, the network's 200 plus local affiliated stations would take control of that programming and collect all the ad revenue, NBC, giving up. Why? Because nobody watches primetime TV anymore. Today, overall television viewership on the networks is down 50% from 20 years ago. Some examples of decline. The Oscar telecast, 2002, 42 million viewers.

This year, 14 million, down 65%. The Tonight Show, 2002, 6 million viewers. This year, one million down 83%. The Olympics, 2002, 45 million viewers. This year, 11 million down 75%. That's incredible. Now, the primary reason is the Internet. Americans are going there for entertainment, and why not?

Network TV is boring, largely. reality shows dominate. The voice, the mass singer, survivor, the bachelor, dancing with the stars. Come on. This is cheap, foolish entertainment, and the folks know it. At one time, the three networks dominated American culture with titans like Mike Wallace, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett, Sid Cid, Cesar, Jack Benny, the Smothers Brothers, on and on and on and on. Now we get naked people on an island. Television used to be fun. Interesting.

It brought Americans together. We talked about the shows the next morning. Now it's pop stars spouting cliches and it's insipid. Word of the day in Sipid. So, say goodbye to Hollywood, as Billy Joel once sang. It is over for the three networks, ABC, NBC, CBS. It is just a matter of time before they fall into complete irrelevance. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve the message by writing it.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. As you may know, the global tourism industry suffered catastrophic losses when COVID hit two years ago. Before the pandemic, 50% of Americans traveled during the summer months. The average household spent $2,000 for a family vacation. Now, for the ultra-wealthy, there is a growing travel trend. It is what travel agents call globe-trotter tourism. For a high price, the super-rich can circumnavigate the planet on luxury cruises.

Here are some of the itineraries. First up, Holland, America Worldwide Tour. That trip departs from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, returns 128 days later, making stops in Brazil, Hawaii, Japan, Middle East, and Europe. The voyage starts at $23,000 per person, but that is for the lower cabins and booze is on the house. Next, Oceana Cruises Global Escape. The ship leaves Los Angeles, docks in New York City, 200 days later.

Folks on a budget can opt in for smaller segments of the trip. You can get off and then come home. The full journey will set you back $40,000 ahead. Guests begin each day with a caviar breakfast and a glass of champagne, which may get old pretty quick. Region cruises offering a trip around the globe. That ship visits 40 U.N. World Heritage sites in places like Honolulu, Bangkok, Shanghai. The boat has 10 different restaurants, 14 bars, two casinos, two nightclubs, and four movie theaters. The price, $70,000 per person, and again, that's for the lower berths. The most expensive cruise on

Earth, the Silver Seas Master Ship Silver Cloud. Unlike other excursions that primarily sell east and west, the Silver Cloud travels north from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle. Trip takes 200 days, costs $110,000 ahead. That's a lot to see penguins. In total, 20 different companies now offer voyages around the globe. The average ticket price, about 50,000 bucks. But with gas prices on land, well, back after this.
