Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Wednesday, just in time for Independence Day, comes a Gallup poll asking if Americans are proud of their country. According to the poll, a record low number says yes. It's predictable. Many anti-Trumpers are not happy he's president again. And younger Americans in general are disenchanted with the country.
Millennials born 1980 to '96 clock in at a 58% Proud rate, while only 41 of Gen Z born after '96 revere the USA. The Baby Boomers, my generation, approve of the country at a rate of 75%, despite the Vietnam War and decades of economic turbulence. Education is a key component in the Proud assessment.
The public school system no longer emphasizes history and civics, leaving millions of Americans ignorant of America's greatness. They evaluate their country through a selfish lens. Where's mine? The dumb factor, as I call it, drives much public opinion. The U.S. Constitution gives all Americans the absolute right to be a moron, and many of us champion that circumstance.
So here's the truth about the USA. For 249 years, it has offered more opportunity for prosperity than any other country. You can make it here if you try hard. And millions of Americans have sacrificed their own lives so other people could be free. That's pretty noble, right, Gen Z? Back in a moment.
Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this, get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax advantage gold IRA.
They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k, tax and penalty free. With billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five-star reviews, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576 or text BILL to 998899.
Again, that's 866-326-5576 or text BILL to 998899. That is the Morning O'Reilly Update. More analysis later on.
