Do a little Riley 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, my mask is history.

New York where I live has lifted the mask mandate.

Hallelujah.

Now, private businesses can still insist on a face covering.

But if they do, I and my wallet will go somewhere else.

My prerogative as Bobby Brown won't say.

The masks were necessary to protect us from COVID.

I do believe that.

But I am sending my supply to Beijing with a nasty note.

The woke crew won't call it the China virus, but it came from China.

I'm a simple man.

That's a simple fact.

And those commies over there have not apologized for it.

Have they?

So I am now facing the world literally.

And I hope you are too.

The masks are history as I said, but they should also be a reminder of how fragile this

planet is and how much our freedoms will be in jeopardy if another plague descends.

We are living day to day.

Now this.
