Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly update morning edition.

But first, on this Wednesday, I want to wish everybody a happy St. Patrick's Day because,

as you may know, I am an Irish American. According to the PBS program Finding Erutes,

I am 92% Irish, the rest Viking. My mother's people traveled to England from Ireland, got

on a ship and showed up here shortly after the pilgrims, in fact, one of my ancestors

founded Charlestown, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. On my father's side, the story

is a bit more difficult. My ancestors on the O'Reilly side owned two acres of land in

County, Cabin. Well, when the famine hit in the 1840s, my ancestors could not pay the

tax to the British Crown to London and they were evicted, thrown off the land. The father

of the O'Reilly clan, suffered a heart attack and died. The mother and her two twin boys,

16 years old, were starving. So she brought them the Galway, put them on a coffin ship,

where they threw bodies over the side and they arrived in Brooklyn by themselves, two

16-year-old boys. There, the O'Reilly clan stayed. My father was born in Brooklyn. So,

today is St. Patrick's Day. I honor my ancestors. I honor the spirit of the Irish and I hope

you have a good time. Now this.
