On this Thursday, I appeared with Dana Carvey and David Spade on their podcast this week in support of Confronting Evil. I like those guys and miss the days when they, along with Dennis Miller, Norm MacDonald, Adam Sandler and others, delivered crisp, witty satire without malice. We talked a bit about Saturday Night Live and late night television, which have both changed dramatically. Today, many comics make their money playing to an ideological crew, so the material is largely partisan and often mean spirited. Easy targets abound, especially President Trump. Now you may remember that Mr. Carvey did a hilarious Joe Biden imitation on Saturday Night Live. Brilliant. No dark undertones. All powerful people deserve to be lampooned. However, the Colbert's and Kimmels have left the comedy business, preferring to damage their political targets, not just tweak them. Generally speaking, Americans don't like the hate stuff. Maybe the fringe does, but not the masses. And the TV ratings prove that statement. I'm fortunate to have seen excellent comedy at its peak. Johnny Carson, Rodney Dangerfield, those people. And I really hope the laughs return someday. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me bill o'reilly.com bill@billoreilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. We got Peter Concierge Member, $2,000 direct payment is a bad idea from President Trump. While we continue to run up national debt faster than the gdp, huge amount of money should be used to buy back U.S. bonds. Not a bad idea, but I think most consumers want relief, direct relief. Chuck Concierge remember, I want to see the tariff revenue pay down our national debt, not to buy votes. Very legitimate point. Lori Rubin, North Andover, MA. I just watched the YouTube bonus on anti Semitism and Nick Fuentes. I don't spend a lot of time on him. Piers Morgan interviewed me about Fuentes today. He's not important. Anyway, Laurie goes on to say, hearing the little Fuentes had to say was frightening as well as saddening. Hard to believe there are people who do not see Adolf Hitler as an evil man. I'm married to a Jewish man. I find it very offensive for anyone to put people like Hitler and Stalin on pedestal. It's beyond offensive. It's a mental illness. So confronting Evil deals with both Stalin and Hitler. I was going to send a book to Fuentes, but I know he wouldn't read it because he doesn't want to know he's using all of this crazy stuff to promote himself on social media. It's my opinion. Bonnie Fitzpatrick, Copper's Cove, Texas. Did you notice Chuck Schumer cleverly and deviously phrase his announcement to assure he wasn't lying about federal money being given to illegal alien health concerns? You played a soundbite on the Noseman News bill where he said federal government does not fund health insurance for undocumented migrants, but they don't sign up for it. Health insurance. It goes through the states and other programs, but you're absolutely right, Bonnie. Sleight of hand.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Recent survey From Newsweek finds 50% of Americans will not be taking a vacation this year, the fewest since COVID hit in 2020. The biggest factor keeping people home record high prices. Hotels and resorts are charging more than ever. In some areas, it is insane. Here are a few examples. The average room in New York City now costs more than $600 a night, up from 300 before. COVID prices up 30% in London, 33% in Paris, 40% in Hong Kong, 60% in the Caribbean. The increases are a result of inflation greed that comes out in these ridiculous junk fees. At some resorts in Hawaii, for example, they charge 50 bucks a day for coconut landscaping fees to stop the nuts from falling on your head. The Royal Hawaiian in Honolulu is known for welcoming tourists with banana muffins that used to be free. Now the Royal Hawaiian adds 42 bucks to your bill even if you don't eat the muffin. In Brooklyn, visitors are charged 50 bucks to have filtered water in the bathroom sink. At the Viceroy Hotel in D.C. guests spend $26 for white noise machines to cancel out the sounds of traffic. The Hyatt Regency in Boston charges people $30 for a so called daily destination fee. That tax includes a free cup of clam chowder. But even if you don't eat it, you get charged for it. And here's something else you might not know. One of the biggest factors driving record high hotel prices is the rise of home rentals. Services like Airbnb have increased customer choices. 2010, 47,000Americans used Airbnb. Today, their figure has ballooned to 7 million. So that hurts the hotels and the hotels are hurting us. Back. Back in a moment.
