Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, this is Mike Slater in San Diego, filming for the great Bill O'Reilly. It's Friday, July 29th, 2020. You're listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. Joe Biden denies that the economy is in a recession. He said it's strong. Joe Manchin agrees to more spending, super.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Crime spirals out of control in New York City. And most older Americans can no longer afford the basics. Also coming up, the message of, the day, an inspirational one. But first, Joe Biden denying the economy is now officially entering a recession. New data shows GDP shrinking for the second consecutive quarter. That's the actual definition of recession. Always has been. But the president said, quote, coming off of last year's historic economic growth and regaining all the private sector jobs lost during the pandemic crisis, it's no surprise that the economy is slowing down.
Starting point is 00:00:56 but that doesn't sound like a recession to me, then the media fell right in line. After more than a year of, what do you expect? Merriam Webster the other day redefined the word woman and girl. So of course they're going to fall in line
Starting point is 00:01:12 and redefine recession too. After more than a year of build back better negotiations, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia announcing an agreement. The Democrats will spend $433 billion dollars, new taxes, clean energy, and climate change. The legislation also will reduce carbon emissions by 40% in the next eight years.
Starting point is 00:01:35 The bill also allocates $1.5 billion for priorities like planting more trees. This is exactly what got us into our inflation mess and recession, printing money, spending money, and taxing. That's it. So let's just do more of it, huh? Data from New York Police Department showing a massive spike in crime across New York City. Since January 1st, major felonies up 37%. Car theft up 50%.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Robberies 39%. Home invasions, 32%. Violent assaults in the subway, up 38%. Far left district attorney, Alvin Bragg recently dropped murder charges against a bodega owner who stabbed in assailant and self-defense. At least there's that.
Starting point is 00:02:13 In total, 350 detectives have filed for early retirement so far this year. Who can blame them? A survey from the University of Massachusetts finds 52% of older Americans struggle to pay for basic necessities. Most adults over the age of 55 can't afford essential items like groceries, rent, medication, and transportation. Seniors are saving money by cutting back on former
Starting point is 00:02:37 luxuries like travel and dining in restaurants. A third of U.S. households have raided their savings in the last two years to cope with rising prices. Unfortunately, it's going to get worse. The message of the day, please vow with me that whenever you hear a story like this, you will share it with everyone you know and you will tell your kids these stories. We need more of them. I'll give one to you next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

Now it's time for the O'Reilly Update Message of the Day. I will always share stories like this when they happen. It is so important to know these stories, to tell your children these stories of heroism and sacrifice to know they still exist. The only way to expect any of us to do things like this is to know that it can be done and that
Starting point is 00:04:29 it's valued. There was a pizza delivery man in Indiana. He was driving down the street at midnight, saw a house on fire. He ran to the front yard, screamed up to see if anyone was inside, if anyone could hear him. Four faces popped up in the upstairs window. Four kids were in the house and the 18-year-old sister. So he ran into the house, rescued the children. But when they got out, there was one more inside.
Starting point is 00:04:52 so he went back in to get the baby. But the smoke was so bad on the way out, he had to go upstairs, break a window, and then jump down to the ground with the baby in his arms. When police and firefighters finally arrived, we can tell from the body camera footage, this man is running from the house with the baby in his arms, blood streaming down his arm.
Starting point is 00:05:13 There's a moment when he's on the ground and he can barely breathe from smoke inhalation and officers putting him in a tourniquet and says, this is going to hurt, okay? And he says, go for it. But listen to this. This man is lying on the ground. He's an intense pain because it's inhaled all the smoke, just jumped out of a window.
Starting point is 00:05:33 But listen to what he's really thinking about. Is the baby okay? Please tell me that baby's okay. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, she's okay. A hundred percent. Yeah, you're okay. You did good, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Okay. Did you hear that? The only thing on his mind is, is the baby okay? And the response from the police officer? you did good dude you did good man i'll tell you right right behind well done good and faithful servant is you did good dude nick bostick has been released from the hospital and everyone is alive i'll give you another one michigan lake huron it's just the other day a 62 year old man was on a boat with
Starting point is 00:06:16 his 32 year old son and nine and three year old grandson some wake can from a neighboring boat, knocked the three-year-old into the water. He was wearing a life jacket. So the three-year-old goes over, and then dad and grandpa both jumped in. They were not wearing life jackets. And the nine-year-old stayed on the boat called 911. Well, the nine-year-old got the attention of a passing boat, and that boat pulled the three-year-old on board.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Then pulled his dad on board, and they finally got to the grandpa. By the time they got to him, he was unconscious. They tried CPR, but he was pronounced dead. So the grandpa died trying to save the life of his three-year-old grandson. There's no better way to go than that. Seriously, think about that. How'd you die? I died trying to rescue my grandson.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Wow. Good for you. He jumped into the lake and tried to rescue me, and he drowned. Wow, what a man. What a hero. Didn't even hesitate. Jumped right in. As if the whole purpose of his life was to rescue you.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And did they go, but Slater, he didn't rescue his grandson. Doesn't matter. Irrelevant. Died trying. Seriously, if I died in a rescue attempt of my children, don't mourn that for a second. Celebrate the heck out of that. I will always be on the lookout to celebrate heroes like this. We need more of them.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And if you want to be like these guys one day, you have to decide now. That way, when the moment comes, you'll be like these men, not even hesitate. Something you might not know. Coming up next. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Hey, it's Mike Slater filling in for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for something you might not know. I learned recently that the word sloth doesn't just mean lazy. I mean, it does, but it means more than that, too.
Starting point is 00:09:00 The Greek root of the word sloth means without care. You just don't care about anything anymore. You don't care about your morality. You don't care about the state of your salvation. You have no feelings for the world, the people in it. What's the point of it all? Who cares if I'm sinning? What even is sin? Who cares? There's no God. There's no heaven. There is no hell. You're just without care. In the Iliad, the great warrior Achilles. He won't fight because he's being a little baby. He's having a temper tantrum. So Odysseus gives this epic speech about the great values of honor and glory. And Achilles responds with one and the same for the man who hangs back and the man who battles hard. The same honor waits for the coward and the brave. lame he doesn't care about the good anymore no often this attitude leads to people doing nothing
Starting point is 00:09:56 hence the idea of laziness as sloth but it can also lead to people doing bad things and not caring and it can also lead to people seeing bad things around them and not caring about it that's sloth too sloth means without care give an example last month philadelphia three am seven kids ages 10 to 14 through a traffic cone multiple times at a 73 year old man he went to the hospital and died from the injuries brothers 10 and 14 years old and two other girls 12 and 14 were arrested 10 year old boy 12 14 year old girl the two 14 year olds have been charged with murder as an adult they were laughing as they murdered this man How could this happen? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:10:50 Among other things, sloth, without care. They had no care for another human life. They had no care for their future. Their families had no care for them. And the culture we created is without care for the good, the beautiful, and the true. So our challenge is to be resensitized to sin, resensitized to the bad things around us.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Don't be numb anymore. That way you can fight against evil. And also, you can appreciate the good. good, beautiful, and the true even more, like the stories of heroism that we shared in the last segment. We need to become resensitized and fight against sloth.
