Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, August 11, 2024. You're listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what happening today in America. Joe Biden hosts the Prime Minister of Japan. Trump reaffirms his position on abortion. Economists rank the states with the worst inflation, and nine and ten Americans carry credit card debt. every month. Also coming up, my message of the day, I'm very concerned about squatters. First, Joe Biden hosted the Prime Minister of Japan for an official state visit to the White House. Guest included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, and other progressive donors. The top issue that was discussed between the two countries, of course, is the increasing threat from China. Donald Trump publicly rejected a national abortion ban this week, as we talked about our message of the day the other day. The president

was in Atlanta when he was asked to comment on Arizona's re-institution of a civil war era law prohibiting abortion. And Trump said, quote, no, I wouldn't sign a ban. Many states will be different. Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will be more conservative than the others. At the end of the day, it's about the will of the people. The inflation rate rising 3.5% in March compared to the same period last year. This is the fourth straight month of above expected inflation increase. 3.5%. It is very unlikely.

There was talk earlier in the year that we could get maybe four rate cuts this year. At this point, seems unlikely that maybe we get any this year at all. The average American now pays $385 every month in higher prices. The inflation rate during the last year of Trump's first term was under 2%. You hear this a lot from the Democrats. They'll say, Biden will say, I inherited inflation.

No, he did not. States hardest hit this summer with inflation, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, and Alabama. The very worst is Maryland. And prices in Baltimore are actually going up even more now because of the collapse of the Francis Scott Keybridge last month. New data from Citibank shows that 92% of Americans carry credit card debt every single month, only eight percent of adults have a zero balance. The average family owes $8,000 on those credit cards. A third of Americans have drained their savings accounts since COVID.

25% of Americans live within $100 of their maximum credit card limit. This is another reason why I'm concerned about what we're going to talk about in the message of the day. I think you're going to see more and more people taking advantage of squatters laws because they know they can do it, get away with it, and there's zero consequences. But I'm going to make a crazy prediction. So get your tinfoil hat ready. We'll do that next on the message of the day. 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 866-3-2-6, 556.5.6. or text Bill to 998899. Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text Bill to 998899. Hey, I'm Mike Slater, filling in for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for the O'Reilly update message of the day. I am increasingly concerned about squatters. I think this is going to be a bigger problem as more terrible people and more illegal aliens hear about their squatting rights and how much they can get away with with zero consequences.

So here's my conspiracy theory. Will you put your tinfoil hat on with me now? It's a slippery slope and the slippery slope is real. It's undefeated actually. Chicago and New York City are evicting migrants from their city-run shelters. Chicago says they have to evict 2,000 migrants by the end of the month, 5,000 in New York City, and there's going to be more every day after that because now there's a 60-day max for an illegal alien to stay in a shelter. Where are they going to go? I think one day soon, if things go poorly, I think the government will force people to take in illegal aliens in their house. And you say, oh, so that's crazy. Okay, I get, listen, I hear it, I know. Right now it's all voluntary. A family will take in and illegal alien and the local media

able to do a new story on how wonderful it is and look at this couple who loves having this migrant in their home who cooks and cleans for them you too can have your own indentured servant from Haiti and then Michigan has their newcomer stipend that's what they call it instead of illegal alien newcomer stipend you get 500 bucks a month if you let any illegal alien live in your house you'll never hear the horror stories of this of course and you'll never hear the story of the migrant who won't leave or the family who goes to the grocery store and they come back home and the illegal alien says up my house now once you invite someone into your house kicking them out is not as easy as you think so it starts out fine but then there's going to be too many migrants

to handle got a house of somewhere now so i'll admit that's that's a big jump it's a little crazy slater come on you're telling me we're going to go from please take a migrant if you want to all the way to, we're going to force you to take in this either alien into your house? How could the government pull that off? You're being crazy. Let's peek in across the pond, shall we? This is from the Daily Mail.

An elderly couple who had just moved into their new home were horrified to receive a letter from their council suggesting the property could be subject to compulsory purchase and used to house asylum seekers. The letter said their house was deemed to be an empty property or derelict, and the county will force them to sell it. The owner of the property said the idea of forcing us to sell it to make room for refugees and asylum seekers seems totally wrong. Yeah, of course.

But the local town says once someone is granted refugee status, they can only stay in a shelter for 28 days. Where else are they going to go? Compulsory purchase. Have you ever heard of such a thing? So there's your stepping stone on this slippery slope. Now let's take this wacky conspiracy. theory one step further. Physician-assisted suicide is becoming more and more commonplace.

A 28-year-old living in the Netherlands had a physician-assisted suicide because she was depressed and tired of living. So that's the new standard now. This is increasing exponentially, and I predict very soon that physician-assisted suicide will be the leading cause of death in America. I'm certain of it. It's relevant here because who needs so many old people anyway? We can just physician-assisted suicide them, take their property from them, and finally, we can get these illegal aliens the housing they deserve. Oh, come on now, Slater, that's crazy talk. Okay, keep all that in mind the next time you hear a story of an illegal aliens squatting at someone's house and they arrest the homeowner. Blue states and cities will never crack down on this,

because the illegals can do no wrong. Something you might not know. Next.

Now it's time for something you might not know. I heard someone the other day say, in the arc of history, the good guys win. Not sure that's true. I don't think it's true that the good guys win in the end. It's very similar to a line Obama would use all the time. He would say the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Sure, maybe in the political sense, people bend towards communism, which is what they're actually talking about. Obama would quote that line all the time because Martin Luther King Jr. said it in his final sermon at the National Cathedral in 1968.

He said, we shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. But if you read the full paragraph, he's talking about Jesus and his second coming. He was a reverend, after all. So in the religious revelation 21 sense, yeah, yeah, sure.

That's not what Obama was talking about. Obama and Democrats and progressives, whatever they talk about. They say, oh, we're going to pass this new bill and it's going to be great because everything we do, progress is great because just over time, the moral arc bends towards justice. So anything we do is automatically, by definition, forward, therefore bending towards justice. So that line in a political sense justifies them to do anything in the name of progress because we're bending towards justice. But here's the big problem with it.

If people start to believe that the arc bends towards justice or in the end the good guys win, it creates this posture of, well, I can just sit back and wait and it will all work out in the end. No, it won't. It won't all just work out. If we all sit back, in fact, I guarantee you it will not work out. The only reason anything good ever has happened

is because people did the opposite of sitting back. John Stuart Mill wrote about this in the mid-18-9-19. he was pushing back against this idea that the truth will come out eventually, like it's inevitable. And he said, no, no, that idea is one of the pleasant falsehoods, which men repeat one after another until it becomes commonplace. But all of history refutes. History teams with instances of truth being put down by persecution. But the good news is, even if the truth is tamped down once, twice, even a hundred times. John Stuart Mill said eventually there will be a group of people in the perfect circumstance where the truth will be able to be set free.

Beauty, truth, and goodness do not prevail unless there's enough of us determined and dedicated to it. The arc of history only bends towards justice when good men are fighting for it. More coming up.
