Bill O'Reilly here. Monday, June 13, 2022. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening today in America. The Senate moving forward on gun control, voters trust in government falling to an all-time low. Gas prices hitting another record high. Nine and ten families pile up credit card debt to cope with inflation. Also, do most Americans even care about the January 6th committee. But first, a bipartisan group of senators announcing a potential agreement on gun measures. The proposal includes the support of 10 Republicans enough to override any potential filibuster. The bill would expand background checks, allocate federal dollars for school safety, raise the minimum age to purchase an AR rifle to 21, and encourage

individual states to enact red flag laws. Experts' estimates, there are 400 million firearms in circulation across America. A new poll from Pew finds just 20% of adults trust the government to do the right thing. That's down from 77% who trusted back in 1969. Two-thirds of us say politicians go to Washington to serve their own interests. Just 6% think our leaders are careful with taxpayer dollars. A whopping 78% believe the country is moving in the wrong direction. Unhappy voters mostly blame President Biden for the state of the nation.

The average price for a gallon of gas passing $5. Most Americans now pay 504. The highest costs can be found in New York City, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington State, California. Worst city in the USA for gas, Los Angeles. Angelino shell out $7 a gallon on average. That's $130 to fill up the average tank. Chiefest spots for fuel, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma. Inflation hammering Americans financially.

New data from Citibank shows 90% of Americans carry credit card debt because of high prices. Just 10% of adults have zero balance on their cards. average family owes $8,000 to the banks. A third have drained their savings accounts since COVID hit. 25% of Americans live within $100 of their maximum credit card limit. In a moment, the federal government at work on January 6th, right back.

The second round of the January 6 hearings today, the first round on primetime TV, did not attract much interest, the facts. There are 120 million households in the USA that have television. That's 96% of us. The presidential debates average around 70 million viewers. State of the Union address, 38 million viewers. But viewership for the January 6th committee last Thursday, again in prime time, 20 million. ABC 5.2, CBS 3.3, NBC 3.5, MS, NBC 4.5, MS, NBC 4,000.

million, CNN 2.7. Fox News did not broadcast the January 6th hearings. Primetime viewers there, 3.2 million. So you can see there was not exactly a flood of people watching the January 6th hearings. In fact, the networks, ABC, CBS, NBC lost about 7 million viewers from their usual Thursday schedule. Now, today's exposition will attract far fewer viewers because the prime time show did not advance the narrative. People weren't impressed. It was all anti-Trump all the time as expected. This, for some, including your humble correspondent, is becoming tiresome.

As a loyal American, I want to know if President Trump secretly ordered or encouraged the Capitol riot, I want to know. But no evidence of that has been put forth. I also want to know if Mr. Trump condoned the riot. But again, I have not seen proof of that. So what? exactly are we doing here with this House committee? Well, it's politics. The Republicans would not even participate because of the rules that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi imposed on the committee. The House members on the Republican side said this is not going to be a fair investigation or hearing. Only to both Trump haters, Cheney and Kinsinger, participate.

Now, Liz Cheney is taking the lead, and that has destroyed her political career. She will lose, I predict, in Wyoming, in the primary coming up, and then she will sign with CNN as a commentator. You wait and see. But this whole January 6th thing is designed to do two things. One, make it very difficult for Donald Trump to run for president again. And number two, cover for President Joe Biden's dismal performance. By saying to the voters, yeah, you may have voted for Biden, but look, Trump is far worse.

That's what they're doing. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve that message by writing it.

On this day in the year 323 BC, the most powerful man in the world lay dying. His kingdom stretched from Greece to Afghanistan. After battling an unknown illness for two weeks, the young man dies. Alexander the Great, dead at age 32. Here is his story.

Alexander was born in 356 BC to the king and queen of ancient Macedonia, now part of modern-day Serbia. He assumed control at 20 years old when his father was assassinated by a royal bodyguard. After eliminating his enemies and squashing rebellions in northern Greece, Alexander began his global conquest. He formed the greatest army in history, marched east into Asia, conquering territories like Persia, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. In 12 years of conquest, Alexander never lost a single battle. In the year 323, he captured the ancient city of Babylon, located in present-day Iraq. Multiple prophets warned old Alex, or young Alex, that entering the capital, Babylon, would bring about his demise.

On May 29th, he attended a dinner by a friend to celebrate his arrival. into Babylon. Alexander enjoyed 48 hours of heavy drinking and eating. He then fell ill, complaining of extreme stomach pain. Alexander's health deteriorated as a raging fever racked his body. Finally, too weak to leave his room, the conqueror of the world, most of it anyway, died 10 days later. His body was immersed in honey to prevent decay. The exact cause of Alexander's death remains unknown. Historians believe he could have perished from poison, malaria, typhoid, or even liver failure. And here's something else you might not know. If you plan on taking a trip to Europe, the Middle East or Asia, your visit will likely stop in a town called Alexandria.

Alex named more than a hundred cities after himself throughout his 15-year conquest. Nearly all remain standing today. Alexander may not have been a great person, but he was one of the most effective military commanders this planet has ever seen. Back after this.
