Message of the day on this Tuesday, as Thanksgiving approaches, a new study out of New York University puts a bit of bitter in the sweet potato pie. It says that most Americans value eudaimonia above looking out for their family. What the heck is Judeo Mina? Well, it's a Greek term meaning pursuit of self interest, leisure, self care, pleasure, things like that. So it's off to grandmother's house. Unless we get a fun party invitation. The study makes sense. The Internet has caused a massive shift away from public good and towards individual gratification outside world. Why bother? Trivial social media pursuits supply endless diversions from real world challenges. It's all there at the click of a thumb. And those challenges? Sometimes our focus on family, why do we need them? Not worth the trip on Thursday. Luckily, most Americans hang on to some semblance of family tradition. But that's receding and we don't need a study to see it. Even the Addams Family understands that Klan values can strengthen character. Yuda Monia, Save it for New Year's eve. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine, let's go to the mail. I am on Malondi, Tucson, Arizona. Bill, why would President Trump even spend a minute with Maudani? The man asked to deliver on his Marcus promise to those who elected him. As I said, it was a show and tell. This is the cliche is dog and pony show. That's what it was. But read my column I'm on and you'll see why. David, when it comes to Mark Kelly, senator from Arizona, follow the money. It's been said he has huge investments in China. Been said by whom? David I've never heard that Senator Kelly has some money in China. Who says that? So you gotta be very careful about this stuff. Now if you had written me the letter and told me we said it, then I could check it out. But let's not cast around unless we know. I think that's fair. Michael Concierge, remember? I completely agree. Senator Kelly is the biggest surprise on the people who call for the military to disobey orders. As an Arizona constituent, he's also the biggest disappointment. I'm a retired Air Force senior NCO on I am incensed. Okay, that was not a good thing. And again, my column On Sunday, Bill O'Reilly.com deals with it. David Lanks in Paducah, Kentucky. But he said President Biden gave Iraq $6 billion. Did he actually send him the money or the unfreeze assets? It was Iran. And he unfroze $6 billion of assets that the United States controlled for no reason. We got nothing. Back in a moment. Something you might not know. Have you heard about Gold Belly?

Nine years ago today, a brutal communist dictator died in Havana. Throughout his life, the revolutionary led the island of Cuba from relative prosperity into poverty and repression. Here is the story of Fidel Castro. Born in eastern Cuba to a wealthy family, the young Marxist orchestrated numerous attempts to overthrow the American backed Cuban government. On January 7, 1959, Castro and his guerrilla fighters deposed the heinous dictator Fulgencio Batista, who then fled to Europe. Six months later, Castro ruled the island with absolute power. His regime hunted down political opponents, journalists, capitalists. The dictator confiscated all private property. Even the Cuban constitution was changed to say that free speech was only allowed if, quote, it is in keeping with the objectives of a socialist society. In total, 100,000 human beings died trying to flee Castro's revolution, most of them drowning at sea. 10,000 Cubans were executed by firing squads, 2,000 assassinated in their homes. Fidel announced his retirement in 2008, and on November 25, 2016, the dictator died in the capital city of Havana. No cause of death was ever given. He was 90 years old. Unfortunately for the Cuban people, Castro's policies remain in effect. The state mandated salary is less than a dollar a day, no Internet access. The government issues rations for items like milk, eggs and fuel. Apartments are allocated by the Communist Party. And here's something else you might not know. Despite his savagery, some Americans still revere Castro. One admirer, Senator Bernie Sanders, said the socialist during the 2020 campaign, quote, Castro taught a lot of people to read and write. I think that's a good thing. True, Fidel taught the farmers how to read, but they were only allowed access to one book, the Communist Manifesto. Back in a moment.
