Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on this Thursday. About six months ago, I offered to take my son anywhere in the world for his college graduation gift. I was hoping he would pick Tahiti or some South Seas island. Instead, he came back with North Asia. That's what happens when you major in political science. So we are off to Japan, South Korea and China, where I've been invited to do an event based on my book, the United States of Trump. It's a speech, then Q and A with government officials and Chinese media in Beijing. Please pray for me. One word I cannot say is Orient. That's banished officially in the USA and also most Asian nations. But why? The original Orient description came from the Romans. Orens means east of Rome. Then Chaucer used the word Orient in the Canterbury Tales. So far harmless. Enter the hideous newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst. In 1909, one of his papers headlined Oriental Cat Contamination. Hearst himself is quoted as saying, I'm strongly in favor of Japanese exclusion to prevent Orientals from swarming into the country and absolutely overrunning it, Unquote, nice. That was it for Oriental 2016, President Obama signed HR4328, highlighting Oriental as a racist term. You yes, it's woke, but there is valid context. So it is North Asia for us. We definitely live in a complicated world. Back after this.
