Bill O'Reilly (3:33)
Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Monday. I am worried about something going on in America. I want to share it with you. It's called tribalism. So if you look at the world map, there are many places where tribalism has ruined entire countries. Africa is the best example. Very difficult for people to get organized over there and develop efficient governments when everybody is fighting among themselves. And there is no hope of detente that goes on in Africa every day in many, many countries. Well, tribalism has come to America. So we're living in an age of political hatred and Donald Trump is the centerpiece of that right now. But let's face it, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, they got their share of hate. So did Bush the Younger. Now, however, reasonable conversations are declining because of the media. The media spurs tribalism because they make money off of it. All you got to do is look at the cable TV industry. Two of them, CNN and msnbc, cater to the hate Trump people. One of them, Fox, loves Trump. All three are marketing love and hate that divides people. And tribalism is taking root in America. It is not good. Each person, each issue should stand on its own with independent thought. And I'd like you to think about that. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Dave Correa, Taunton, Massachusetts. Bill, I'm wondering two things. Are the mayors actually held responsible if found to be breaking federal law? It's not that easy. The mayors of the sanctuary cities have to be confronted with a detainment order so Homeland Security, you'd have to issue an order, send it to the mayor. You are to detain these individuals. Okay. If the mayor says blank you, they can be arrested. But what the mayors usually do is they don't do that. They just privately tell people don't cooperate. Second question from Dave in Massachusetts. Why aren't they going after senators that give orders about not cooperating? Because you just can't do that. You got to have proof they're not cooperating orders if they were in writing. But these people don't do that. They know. James Bruton, Anglican, Texas. Angleton, Texas. Angleton. Bill, just finished reading. Confronting the president's one of the best reads ever. Many are saying Democratic Party is leaderless. I disagree. Andrew Cuomo might be mayor of New York. Should he win, he would be in line for president of the United States. No, sorry, James, never going to happen. He'll win here in New York because the current Mayor Adams is. He's done. But that's it for he gets a little bit of his power back but no higher office. He's got too much in his closet. In a moment, something you might not know. President Trump's victory is a win for America. It's what most voters think what bidenomics has left us with a failing economy. I rely on American Hartford Gold to protect my savings with physical gold and silver.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 56 years ago today, a man in Memphis, Tennessee, pleaded guilty to murder. His crime, assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Here is a very strange story of James Earl Ray. On April 4, 1968, King was shot dead while standing on the second story balcony outside his motel room. Police later found a Remington rifle abandoned on a nearby sidewalk. During the next few weeks, the gun, eyewitnesses and fingerprints all implicated one suspect, escaped convict James Earl Ray. A petty criminal, Ray escaped from a Missouri prison a year earlier while serving time for armed robbery. After the assassination of Dr. King, a global manhunt began for him. On June 8, police in the UK arrested Ray at a London airport. His plan was to fly into Belgium, then to the African nation of Rhodesia. At the time, Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe, was ruled by a white supremacist government. The key question all this where did a grifter named James Earl Ray get the money to travel all over the planet? Well, after he was apprehended, Ray came back to the USA. On March 10, 1969, he pleaded guilty to avoid the electric chair. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison. But three days later, James Earl Ray attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming he was innocent and part of a larger conspiracy. And here's something else you might not know. During the 1990s, the widow and children of Martin Luther King spoke publicly in support of Ray and his theories. Family called for a new investigation about a potential conspiracy involving the US Government, FBI, CIA. Over the years, the assassination has been re examined twice by the House Select Committee, three times by the Justice Department. Each investigation ended up with the same conclusion, James Earl Ray killed mlk. Now, Donald Trump's Justice Department is releasing new details about King's assassination. Let's all hope the documents shed more light on how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Was murdered back after this.
