Bill O'Reilly here. Wednesday, September 18th, 2019. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. President Trump raising money in California. New York City officials allowing students to skip class to protest climate change. School administrators moved to ban a popular item from lunch menus. A new study showing average millennials drowning in The U.S. military weighs in on a series of UFO videos, also coming up my message of the day, smearing political opponents. But first, President Trump touring California, stopping at a series of fundraisers in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Brawls erupted outside one event in Beverly Hills, with protesters burning the American flag. New York City officials allowing more than one million students to walk out a class in the name of climate change. The biggest school district in the nation says it will excuse absences for anyone participating in Friday's climate strike. Younger students can only leave if accompanied by a parent,

but obviously the action is blatantly political. While permitting the students to strike, New York's Department of Ed may soon ban a popular item from lunch menus, chocolate milk. Administrators confirming the entire district may soon eliminate the popular breakfast beverage, citing high sugar content. A new study says the average millennial citizen in America has nearly $30,000 in debt. The biggest factor for young adults, college tuition. The number of households with student debt has doubled between 1998 and 2016. The median income for millennials right now is about $70,000 a year, meaning interest payments can take up to 10% of their budget. The U.S. military commenting on a series of video showing unidentified flying objects over the

East Coast. The Navy confirming the footage taken from a cockpit of a military aircraft, and the Navy says it's authentic. The deputy chief of naval operations believes the images depict, quote, unidentified aerial phenomena, but the military has not defined the situation further. There is no truth to the rumor that Congress immediately passed a UFO tax. In a moment, smearing political opponents. Why is this allowed? Right back. The Amazon Capital One data breach just hit. 106 million of us just had our names, home addresses, banking information exposed. Forget credit card theft. Your far greater risk is home title fraud. Title fraud is rampant because identity thieves figured out the title and mortgage to our homes

are kept online. Their big payday comes by forging your name off your home's title. So it appears they own your home. Then they borrow all your equity till it's gone. Forget your insurance, bank, or identity theft program. They don't touch this. Home Title Lock does. And they do it by locking down your home's online title and mortgage. The first 60 days after crimes like the Amazon Server Capital One breach are crucial. So I got you 60 risk-free days of home title lock protection.

A time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, smearing political opponents. It is becoming clear that the nation's press no longer has any standards. A few days ago, the New York Times ran a story against smearing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The story turned out to be bogus, and the newspaper had to disown it. Very embarrassing. But the damage to Judge Kavanaugh and his family was done.

MSNBC, owned by the powerful Comcast Corporation, devoted 166 minutes to promoting the smear on Kavanaugh. Then when the story was debunked, MSNBC spent six minutes correcting itself, six minutes. CNN, another uber-liberal operation run by the AT&T Corporation, gave the smear 67 minutes of air time, and then spent just three minutes correcting the record. Obviously, this is outrageous, but nothing will be done to the New York Times, MSNBC, or CNN. Now, when I was in journalism school at Boston University, we were taught to find the truth about any news assignment we were given. It was pretty simple. Go out, gather the facts, find the truth. That basic tenet of journalism long gone. Now, most national news operations are run by ideological people

who order reporters to get dirt on political opponents. It works both ways, but because the press is dominated by liberals, most of the smears are directed at conservative individuals. There's also the newsroom culture in New York City and Washington, D.C. Imagine, if you will, a New York Times employee coming into the newsroom in the morning, dressed casually, with a Make America Great Again cap on his or her head. That person's career would be over. The culture in the national newsrooms is not a freedom situation. Opposing points of view are not respected. If you go against the orthodoxy of your

news operation, you will not work there. Trust me, I have been in the journalism business for 45 years. Now, under the First Amendment, nothing can be done about this. The government cannot intrude on the press. Individuals can sue, but if you are famous, like Brett Kavanaugh, the level of proof you have to provide in damages and malice is extraordinary. High. Very few lawsuits are successful when famous people file. Sarah Palin is currently suing the New York Times for libel. All in all, the press is irresponsible in America. Smears are everywhere. That is a message on Tuesday, September 4th. My new book, The United States of Trump, will be released. It's a history book. And I think you'll like it. You can check it out on

That comic book, I'll cost you a million dollars. Finally, Superman, the Man of Steel first introduced in 1938's action comic series. The price tag, $3 million. And here's something you might not know. During World War II, the U.S. War Department had to censor Superman comics, banning the mention of atomic weapons, the American invasion of Europe, and more.

language in circulation even in a comic book. So, comics, look them over. You never know when one might make you wealthy. Back after this.
