Here's a provocative question. What are we to think of Americans who are dumb and irresponsible? So if you look at the New York City voting on Tuesday, half of those registered didn't show up. Yes, I know, there was a big turnout, but half sat the whole thing out despite a very controversial candidate, Zoran Mandani. They couldn't be bothered to show up. Now, that's their constitutional right. I always say you have a right to be a moron. You don't have a right to commit crimes, but you have a right to be apathetic, uneducated, ill informed. And millions of Americans are absolutely exercising that right. So what are we to think of these people? I have to confess, it's hard for me to be friendly in the face of ignorance. I got a guy who works for me. He's intelligent. He could not care less about what is happening in his country. Do I respect that? I do not. Now, I've never said anything to him, but I could never be friends with him. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billo reilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now, let's go to the mail. Kevin Murphy, New York City I saw the 60 Minutes interview with Norah O'. Donnell. My opinion Ms. O' Donnell kept interrupting President Trump, you have to, because the president will filibuster. You have to. And I had the same problem with Barack Obama before the interview. I would say to both presidents, look, I don't want to be boorish. Word of the day. B O O R I S H But I can't let you just go on for two minutes, okay? You run out the clock. So if I go like this with my crooked finger, which I got playing ice hockey, okay, that means I want to get in. And both presidents pretty much respected that. But you can't let him just filibuster. That's no interview. R.D. fleischman, Buckeye, Arizona. As we enter the fifth week of the shutdown and seemingly more air traffic control personnel refusing to report for work, why can't President Trump mandate these folks go in? Because they say they're sick. It's a union. President just can't go in and bust a union. There's a limit to the power. Lynn HENZOS GREER, S.C. hey, Bill, I know the shutdown is bad, but I believe things happen for a reason. If not, SNAP would not have been brought to our attention, especially 40 million people receiving that benefit. Now it is being investigated and the fraud has been going on for so long. We brought to light being investigated. I wish it would be, but it's not. It's 42 million people. Now, I can't put a percentage on how many are fraudsters. I don't know, but we should have an investigation. Kevin Odette, Warwick, Rhode Island. My wife and I learn a lot from the no Spin news. Well worth premium membership. Thank you.

The most important story in the world right now is the relationship between the USA and China. Here are some basic facts about America's main adversary, China, one of the oldest countries on earth. Recorded history dates back to 4000 BC for much of that time, the nation was ruled by imperial families called dynasties. That changed during the 20th century. A violent rebellion formed the Republic of China in 1912. Japan invaded two decades later. During that occupation, 20 million Chinese civilians were estimated to be killed by the Japanese. Mao Zedong and his communist army seized China in 1949. His party ruled over 1.5 billion people, and that exists to this day. China is the second biggest economy in the world with a GDP of 20 trillion. The USA holds the top position, 30 trillion. Beijing also the planet's biggest exporter. They produce a majority of light bulbs, computer chips, smartphones, furniture, clothing, plastic and medical equipment. Order is maintained through the most sophisticated police state in human history. The entire population of China is monitored by 2 million soldiers, 5 million police officers, and a vast network of surveillance cameras which are everywhere. All smartphones are monitored by the Communist Party. In fact, when I was in Beijing recently, I could not use my cell phone. I had to use a burner. And here's something else you might not know. No, China's situation is not going to change. The security apparatus is simply too fearsome. You step out of line, they'll come and take you away. As Crosby, Stills and Nash once sank, the state is ultra powerful. There is no dissent. So the world has to make a deal with China. And I hope the USA leads that situation. President Trump is certainly aware. Back in a.
