Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Monday, August 26th, 2024. Here's this happening today in America. RFK endorsement, loans for illegals, Festival of Diversity and Thieves tricked.

That's all coming up, then Bill's going to be here with your message today. But first, RFK Jr. has officially suspended his campaign and thrown his support behind Donald Trump. He said in name of saving democracy, a Democratic Party set itself to dismantle it. The DNC waged continual legal warfare

against both President Trump and myself. Each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of the signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us into court, state after state, attempting to erase their work and to subvert the will of the voters who signed those petitions. It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail. A group of other Kennedys said this was an act of betrayal. The California Senate Appropriations Committee

passed through a bill that allows illegal aliens to make use of the state's already existent zero-down no-payment home loan program. This bill already passed the assembly. The program exists currently for citizens, and it allows the state to put down 20% of the price of a home, up to $150,000. So it's an $800,000 home, which is the median home price in California. The person repays the loan without interest when you sell the house plus 20% of the appreciation. This program will soon be available to illegal aliens. I'm sure Kamala also supports this program and would bring it nationwide, but no reporter will ask her and she would never answer anyway. Police arrested a 26-year-old Syrian man who admitted to a knife attack

that killed three people, seriously injured five more, at a German festival called the Festival of Diversity. Police said he shared the ideology of the Islamic State, and on the basis of his radical Islamic convictions decided to kill the largest number of those he considered unbelievers at the festival. He previously applied for asylum in Germany. from Syria. A woman in Santa Barbara, California was so tired of her boxes, her packages getting stolen off her front porch. She mailed herself an Apple air tag, one that she already activated, of course, so that she could follow the thieves. A man and a woman were arrested after she called local police to follow that tag. They were found with stolen items from a bunch

of other people as well. They were charged with burglary, possession of checks with the intent to commit fraud, credit card theft, identity theft, and conspiracy. The police thanked the woman for proactive solution. I'm Mike Slater for the podcast, Politics by Faith. The great Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next.

On this Monday, there is an old pop song by the group The Grassroots called Live for today. Remember that? The refrain says, and don't worry about tomorrow. Wow, that is really bad advice. A successful life requires thought about the future, preparation, vision, goals. If you don't think about those things, you will likely live a life of chaos. This is a difficult time for human beings to exist.

Lots of pressure, lots of competition. We are not stagecoach drivers here in America. So you've got to get a plan, Stan, as Paul Simon once said. And I am seeing a lot of young Americans drifting, not disciplined enough to think about the future. feel they are entitled to success, they are invulnerable, and they will just kind of flounce along, and things will fall into place for them. That will not happen. You have to think and plan for the future. You have to discipline yourself to make good decisions if you want a happy life. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. America is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.

Total worth in the USA topped $141 trillion last year and is expected to pass $150 trillion by the end of the decade. So how does all that money break down with us, the population? Turns out if you were born in the USA, you have a pretty good chance of maybe. making it rich. Here is the data. The median income currently stands at $67,000 a year. That means half of us make more, half less. The nation is home to the most millionaires on earth, 19 million people, roughly 6% of the population. The country also has 620 billionaires. According to the Census Bureau, there are currently 120 million households in the U.S. say, 120 million. 50 million earn less than $50,000 a year. 35 million earn between 50 and 100,000,

10 million between 500,000 and a million, and 8 million households make more than a million dollars a year. As far as education, a third of us have a four-year college degree with an average salary of $70,000. 10% of a two-year degree. Folks with a high school diploma make on a average, under $35,000 a year, so wise up, get that degree. About 13% of the total population lives below the poverty line in America. That's commonly defined as a family of four earning less than $29,000. Even for the poorest citizens, however, the living standard is better than anywhere else in the world. Ninety-seven percent of Americans in poverty have a cell phone. 99% a refrigerator, 98% cable TV, 80% air conditioning, 92% internet access. And here's

something else you might not know. According to data from the UN and the Census Bureau, the poorest 20% of Americans are wealthier than the average citizen in most European nations. They have more assets, better access to health care, and have twice the living space compared to people in France, Germany, and Italy. that socialism. So the next time you hear this malarkey that America is unfair in the economic realm, it's a lie. Now this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
