On this Monday, there is a growing trend that should concern President Trump and his administration. New poll conducted by Pew Research, which is a good outfit, says that Hispanic Americans who largely supported President Trump last time around are bailing. First question in this survey, do you think the Trump administration's policies have been harmful to Hispanics? 78% say yes, helpful to Hispanics, 10%. The rest don't know. Second question, compared with a year ago, do you think the situation of Hispanics in this country is better? 9% worse, 68% about the same, 22%. Last question. A year from now, do you think the situation of Hispanics in this country will will be better? 16% worse? 52 about the same, 31. Now, what's going on? Well, high prices are killing working Americans and that is where most Hispanic voters are, in the working class precincts. And then the ICE raids. I understand what is necessary, but they're pretty harsh. And there is another way to do this and we've gone over that registration. But Hispanics see what they see on television and it's not helping the Trump administration. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Bill O'Reilly (9:08)

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 35 years ago, an international group of engineers met 130ft beneath the English Channel. The teams from Britain and France had finally linked their nations together, a concept that dates back more than two centuries. Here is the story of the Channel Tunnel, or the Chunnel. The idea of connecting Great Britain to mainland Europe was suggested by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. The emperor envisioned a series of man made islands connected by narrow bridges and subterranean roads. The technology was finally developed in the late 20th century. In 1986, officials from London and Paris signed a treaty authorizing the construction of a 31 mile tunnel under the channel. Over the next four years, 13,000 workers toiled beneath the sea. 8 million cubic meters of soil removed the price tag for all this, $15 billion. On December 1, 1990, the two teams finally met. After the final two was completed, the workers exchanged French and British flags, toasted each other with champagne. Four years later, the channel opened for business. The first to make the underground journey were French President Francois Mitterrand and Queen Elizabeth II. During its height of operation, 60,000 people use a chunnel every 24 hours. That's 21 million travelers a year. Today, folks can make the trek between England and France in less than half an hour. Typical ticket costs $50. And here's something else you might not know. Using the Chunnel became more difficult in 2020 after the passage of Brexit, the UK officially left the European Union. So transit beneath the Channel required passports, customs, even some visas. Service between the two countries down 20% since that time. Back after this.
