Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening this week in America. Cities on track to break historic murder rates in the USA. Half of San Francisco residents want out. Families stop dining out to cope with inflation. Belief in a higher power on the decline. Also ahead, why some far-lived people

want to destroy the Constitution. But first, five major American cities on pace to break all-time homicide rates. Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Milwaukee, Atlanta. Already reporting record high murders only halfway through July. Felonies also up double digits across the board. The deadliest city in the country, St. Louis, Missouri. The town of just 300,000 witnesses 250 killings annually. The chances of being a murder victim in St. Louis or a victim of violent crime in general,

one in 50. Survey from Silicon Valley finds most people living in the San Francisco area want to leave. 56% want out within the next two years. Just 44% say they will hang in. Biggest factors behind the exodus, crime, and homelessness, and money. The average home price in San Francisco rising to $1.5 million, for what? Chaos? So the folks are bailing. People also ditching restaurants this summer to combat high prices. Number of families dining out in July down 15% compared to March. Food costs up to

20% this summer alone. Some establishments are boosting their prices or shrinking portions to offset inflation. Economists predict there is an 80% chance the USA will fall into recession within the next four months. We are already in a soft consumer recession. Survey from Gallup finds 81% of the public believe in a higher power, but that is down from 98% back in 1969. Younger liberal Americans are least likely to profess faith in God. 32% of folks under the age of 29 say they're agnostic or atheist. The most religious group in the country? Conservative baby boomers. 94% of them say religion plays a major role in their day-to-day lives. In a moment, attacking the Constitution. 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. And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. Or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, which, by the way, is simply my opinion. One of the few positive things coming out of the incredible failure of the Biden administration is the decline of the progressive movement in America. As is documented, Joe Biden campaigned as

a moderate, but immediately embrace far-left policies after his inauguration. That led to debilitating inflation, massive federal spending, worldwide embarrassment in Afghanistan, a woe culture that has damaged millions of Americans, and a stated presidential mandate to impose equity. The equity thing where certain preferred groups get special treatment by both federal and state governments has caused a horrifying spike in violent crime as some minority criminals go unpunished. In addition, Biden's ultra-dangerous open border policy has led to immigrants dying as well as hundreds of thousands of drug users. Because Mr. Biden's failures are so vivid, the progressive view that directs him is getting hammered in the court of public opinion. Some examples, the crazy left

attorney in San Francisco was recently fired by voters and his counterpart in Los Angeles County currently awaits the same recall fate. Progressives have lost hearts and minds, but not the committed left-wing media. The Los Angeles Times, which supported D.A. Chesa Bowden in San Francisco and George Gascon in L.A. remains unrepentant of its far-left fanaticism. In fact, that newspaper is a good roadmap to where progressives really want to go. In a recent column, Timescribe Nicholas Goldberg actually dismantles the Constitution. Please listen carefully, quote from Goldberg. Let's be honest, the problem isn't just with the Supreme Court justices.

The problem, at least a substantial portion of it, lies with the U.S. Constitution itself. Yes, the hallowed Constitution. The document hammered out by 55. B-wigged men in Philadelphia. Goldberg goes on to say that radical leftist Dave Law, who teaches at the University of Virginia, is absolutely correct when he says, quote, how could the Constitution possibly fit the needs

of a highly diverse country of 300 plus million people in the 21st century? Unquote. So there it is. The real progress. agenda. Get rid of that arcane system of government the white landowners imposed back in 1787. Knock that constitutional sucker out. Goldberg also enumerates some new provisions. The LA Times wants in the Constitution. No electoral votes, popular votes only. So California, which has the most citizens, would dictate many political outcomes for the entire country. In addition, the progressors don't want all states to have two senators.

California should have many more than Wyoming and other small states. The right to bear arms got to go. The Second Amendment would be replaced by a new mandate. Environmental rights. Of course, nobody knows what that is. And then there should be in the Constitution, gay, transgender, and women's rights, on and on and on. so that is the true progressive vision and i thank goldberg for stating it i'm bill o'reilly i approve
