Do a ride here and I'm warming up from the NRIA.net studios in New York.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update morning edition.

On this Thursday, I've been thinking about my career and how I always read the mail that

is sent to me carefully.

I believe in the general wisdom of the folks, even though that is being eroded by cell

phones and laptops, which divert us away from constructive thinking.

Very often those who correspond with me are confused about why bright people often refuse

to acknowledge reality to examples.

First, there's no question a president Biden is not leading the country effectively, yet

about 40% of American adults apparently believe he's doing a good job.

How is that even possible?

The answer is deeply personal.

Many folks simply will not admit mistakes.

They will not accept that their decision to vote for Biden could have been wrong, despite

overwhelming evidence that the president is failing.

Example two is the stolen election, the great steal as Donald Trump calls it.

Millions of Americans believe President Trump did actually win in 2020 despite the fact

that history says he did not.

He may not be fair, but in order to prove the steal, you have to develop evidence that

will stand up in court.

Conspiracy theories will not do it.

In order to succeed in life, every American has to accept reality.
