Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Monday, 87 year old Jane Fonda is back. Jane, we missed you. We? Well, not everybody. Ms. Vona says she is terrified that her freedom of speech is under attack. So she is leading a movement in Hollywood and I guess about 500 entertainment people have signed on to it to fight any kind of threat to their expression. Well, this is pretty interesting because Jane Fonda actually sat on an anti aircraft gun during the Vietnam War and helped the enemy, the North Vietnamese. She was not prosecuted. Nothing happened to her. She came back and resumed her show business career. Jane Fonda also has been very high profile in promoting her liberal points of view, written a couple of books. She's out there. No downside for Jane. Made a nice living, 87 years old, humming along. Now I make my living bloviating, using my speech and I'm well compensated. I've been attacked by people who disagree with me, but never the government. Never shut down about what I can or can't say. So Jane, you shouldn't be terrified. This is a myth. This isn't happening in our country. You can say whatever you want. 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. Aaron Lechner, Denver, Colorado. As I was reading through Confronting Evil, I realized what an excellent compendium it is to the no spin news. By delivering a basis of the worst of the worst, I can now better understand and analyze daily information you provide at a much higher level. Thank you. That's one of the reasons that we wrote all of our books. You would assemble information that will help you know what's true and what isn't true in your everyday life. So confronting a colossal success. And we thank you all. J.J. bill, just finished flying the West Coast. I took your book, read a cover to cover, loved it, learned a lot. It made the flight zoom by. I know. I mean, that's why we write them. So you got to travel. That's a good way to travel. J.J. christopher Burnett, Cape May, N.J. is there evidence that cartels are shifting drug production and distribution from Mexico to Canada? Reports suggest that is happening. What reports? That's insane. What reports? Now I know you saw it on the Internet. Christopher no, Canada is an efficient country. Not moving there. David Areta, Wake Forest, North Carolina. You mentioned that Mandani will bankrupt the city of New York that's already deeply in debt. When was the last time a city went bankrupt? Puerto Rico, 2017 went bankrupt. But there's a whole bunch of cities that have. It's not common, but it happens. John Howland, Johnston, Rhode Island. Just finished confronting evil. Came at a perfect time. I had a knee operation. Took me a day and a half to read it. Well, I'm glad that helped your recovery there, John. It's a great diversion because you learn a lot from confronting evil in a moment, something you might not know.

Now. The O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Seven years ago today, the Senate voted to confirm the 114th justice to the Supreme Court. The nomination process took three months, weeks of testimony and a last minute investigation by the FBI. Here's the story of Brett Kavanaugh. His predecessor, Anthony Kennedy, announced his retirement in June 2018. After a series of personal interviews, President Donald Trump officially picked Kavanaugh as his replacement. Public hearings began two months later. On September 27, Democrats held an emergency session to discuss allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman while in high school. His accuser, a professor in California named Christine Blasey Ford. In a confidential letter sent to Senator Dianne Feinstein earlier that summer, Ford claimed the Kavanaugh locked her in a room and assaulted her at a party in 1982. Feinstein refused to elaborate on why she concealed that letter Kavanaugh immediately issued the following statement. I categorically deny the allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time, unquote. Well. Three more women came forward with similar accusations, but they were not deemed credible. Under orders from President Trump, the FBI launched an emergency investigation. The probe lasted seven days, including dozens of interviews and thousands of documents. The FBI found no evidence of misconduct on Kavanaugh's part. Democrats immediately labeled the investigation a sham. On October 6, the Senate voted 50 to 48 to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. It's the closest confirmation vote since 1881. Today, Ms. Ford remains a professor and researcher in California. And here's something else you might not know. The allegation made Blasey Ford a celebrity. She was later named one of the most influential people by Time magazine. The person who submitted her nomination then, Senator Kamala Harris. Back after this.
