Bill O'Reilly here Thursday, August 12th, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Three major airlines will not mandate vaccines for employees. American Express using critical race theory in corporate training. Nancy Pelosi, stumping for Gavin Newsom in California. New polling shows voters increasingly. worried about inflation. Pepsi and Coke get into the booze business. Also, I had the Biden border

disaster. But first, the CEOs of Southwest American and Delta Airlines confirming they will not require workers to get the COVID-vax. In May, Delta did say that first-time employees, those hired, will have to be vaxed. But United Airlines said, everybody has to have to. Everybody has. has to get the jab if they want to work for that airline. Three others, dissent. American Express subjecting its employees to a series of critical race theory training sessions that encourage staff to rank themselves on a hierarchy of privilege and apply that hierarchy in the workplace. What a bunch of nonsense. Leaked documents show Amex executives now promoting their anti-racism initiative that separates workers based on racial, gender, sexual, and other

identities. Not a good look for American Express. Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging Californians to keep Governor Newsom in office. Pelosi was at an event in San Francisco when she said, quote, he's been great. Reject the recall. It's not good for you, your children, or other living things, unquote. Let us polling says voters are split in California over whether Newsom should be booted from his job. The vote is September 14th. New survey from Fox News says a large number of voters increasingly concerned over rising prices, 53% say higher housing costs or a financial hardship. That number goes to 67% for gasoline prices and 70% for groceries. Price index up about five and a half percent compared to last year.

America's two most popular soda brands looking to cash in on the alcohol business. Coca-Cola recently released hard seltzers. Pepsi will roll out hard mountain dew. Sales of spirits in the USA up 40% since COVID hit. In a moment, will the border madness bring down the Biden administration? Right back. 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. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-8899. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, President Biden and the dangerous southern border. It is his fault alone. U.S. authorities had the southern border under control until Joe Biden signed an executive order that literally blew up border security. security. Biden did this to dismantle the Trump remain in Mexico policy. It was working and

irresponsible that policy, but Biden just threw it out with nothing to replace it. And that has led to human suffering on a massive scale. Remember, these migrants coming up from Central America and Mexico are brutalized by the cartels in Mexico. Now we have about two million foreign nationals crossing the border illegally, and some of them have COVID. The corrupt American press has essentially covered for President Biden, but this week, the very liberal Washington Post, which has never endorsed a Republican for president in its existence, the Post broke ranks. In a editorial on August 8, 2021, the Washington Post wrote, in its apparent desperation of fashion, an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out of the Washington Post wrote, in its apparent desperation of fashion,

an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out-of-control migration, the Biden administration has unleashed a torrent of words and golds untethered to specific policies and timetables, telling migrants not to seek entry to the United States, while at the same time relaxing or scrapping an array of measures. that would actually dissuade them and providing relief to migrants on both sides of the border has been a failure. The Post concludes its editorial by writing, for the most part, the administration's impulses are humane.

However, they have driven a policy whose incoherence has yielded pressure at the border that may cost the Democrats' control of one or both houses of Congress in next year's midterm elections. So far, there is nothing in the administration's short or long-term strategizing that is likely to shift that dynamic, unquote. So there it is. The Washington Post, not really worried about the migrants flooding into the USA. That paper is worried about the Democrats losing power in Congress because Mr. Biden has screwed up the border so big. And by the way, no other liberal newspaper a la New York Times, L.A. Times, Boston Globe, Dallas Morning News, Miami Herald, has said a word about the border.

The Wall Street Journal has been covering it. So now, on the record, we all know the Biden border policy is a disaster. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Of all the water on planet Earth, less than 2% is safe for human consumption. Each year, at least 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. a number could possibly double this year. Water shortages are now plaguing the Northern Hemisphere, including here in the USA. Officials now projecting the man-made lakes that store water used throughout the American West will fall to historically low levels by September next month, triggering an official water shortage for the first time in U.S. history.

The situation is very dire in the Southwest. Mexico's largest water reserve, the Elephant Reservoir, is currently at 7% capacity, which is shocking. The drought in the West has also fueled wildfires, as you know. Smoke from the blazes can be seen here in the Northeast, up in Canada, and even in Western Europe. The high temperature is also affecting food prices. Key crops like apples, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes are dying on farms across California, causing shortages at the grocery stores and higher prices. Environmentalists believe the extreme weather is an effect of climate change. Warmer temperatures mean less snow in the Rockies.

That snowfall melts each spring filling rivers, lakes, and reservoirs with fresh drinking water. However, scientists believe they may have a solution to all this, and it's being used in the Caribbean right now, turning seawater into fresh water. Desert islands like Aruba have used the process since the 1960s. Giant tanks of ocean water are subjected to high pressure, then mast through a fine mesh. The salt filtered out, leaving the remaining water safe to drink. That could be a solution for the west coast of the USA. And here's something else.

The largest consumer of water in the Golden State is not farming or people, but landscaping. Half of all water used at home is on outdoor plants, lawns, and gardens. A growing trend in the region is to stop that and use water-efficient landscaping. Folks are ditching grass and flowers for rocks, cactus, and concrete to reduce their consumption of fresh water. back after this.
