Bill O'Reilly here, you are listening to the best of the O'Reilly update. As you may have heard, the Biden administration is saying that Putin caused inflation. That's what President Biden told the nation. We are dealing with the, quote, Putin price rise, unquote. Of course, all the stats say consumer prices were going to be. going up fast before Russia invaded Ukraine, but damn those pesky facts. It was Putin for sure. Just as the devil made Flip Wilson do it a long time ago, bad Vlad is the instigator today. And it's not just inflation, not even close. Did you know that Putin made Will Smith slap Chris Rock?

didn't you know that? Old Will simply channeled Vlad and boom, the Oscar stage was invaded. Jennifer Lopez reunited with Ben Affleck because of Putin, no lie. Jen is so frightened of the diminutive Vlad that she sought protection from Big Ben, the actor not the clock. People in Honduras believe their country is on Vlad's invasion list, so they're getting the heck out while he's getting as good. President Biden sees this Putin thing very clearly and knows his adversary is directly responsible for every single failure of his administration. Massive air delays in the USA?

Putin's fault? Trans restrooms? Vlad did it. Critical race theory invented by Putin. MSNBC. The dictator secretly runs it. The Los Angeles Lakers. Putin. Tom Brady coming out of retirement, Vlad ordered him to do it. Hunter Biden don't even ask. With Vlad having so much power over everything that happens in America, it is only a matter of time before the following occurs. Vlad will be appointed CEO of Disney.

He will partner with Elon Musk to take over Twitter. He will be a substitute host on The View. Vlad will make Kamala Harris stop giggling. And finally, he will tour with the Rolling Stones. I know that all sounds incredible. I know it. But it's not nearly as unbelievable as blaming the Vlad Meister for, the nearly 10% inflation rate now battering the USA. Is it?

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.

Again, that's 866, 326-5576, or text bill to 998899. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day the decline of marriage in America. The Catholic Church defines marriage this way, quote, a holy sacrament by which a man and woman established between themselves a partnership. for their whole lives, and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring, unquote. Other religions see it differently, of course, but it's essentially the same thing. You get married under the eyes of a religious cleric. Well, a lot of Americans are rejecting religion now, and they are going a secular route,

and that is causing a big decline in nuptials. Here are some stats. Globally, 66% of adults over the age of 15 have been married at least once. The highest marriage rates can be found in the Middle East and Latin America, lowest Western Europe. Marriage rates in Russia, 70%. India, 62%, China, 61%, the USA, 63%. of us get married at least one time. The divorce rate in America in 1996 was 16%. Last year, 50%. So that means that marriage is dissolving and that leads to other problems. The cost of divorce in

America is astronomical. $40,000 on average if there are children. involved. The average monthly child support payment, $500. Now there is no question that younger Americans are not as enthusiastic, generally speaking, for the marriage deal. Their parents, of course, are traditionalists, many of them, and they want their children to be married, at least in the eyes of some kind of legal official. But younger Americans are choosing partnerships, so the decline in nuptials today is understandable. It is much easier to form a partnership, and you can do it legally as well. But it is the horrendous divorce industry in America that is really harming the institution.

Have you ever seen a poor divorce lawyer? Of course, children will suffer if the institution of marriage collapses. A partnership is okay, but you can walk away from a partnership fairly easily. What about the kids? They become dependent on two parents. And when one parent can get out with no strain or stress on the parent, the children are put under immense stress, especially if there's no agreement on how those children will.

will be raised and where they will live. So many people see marriage as a man and a woman, and again, that is defined that way by the Catholic Church, but it's really the children that are born out of a marriage or partnership that should be the main concern on the marital front, but they are not. And that is a catastrophe. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. If you would like more honest news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

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 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. Country also has 620 billionaires. According to the Census Bureau, there are currently 120 million households in the USA, 120 million. 50 million earn less than $50,000 a year. 35 million earned 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 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. Take that socialism. So the next time you hear this malarkey that America is unfair in the economic realm, it's a lie. Now this.
