Bill O'Reilly here Thursday, June 16th, 2022. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. The feds raise interest rates to slow inflation. Adults take on more debt than any other time in history. Half the country says America has poor values. Most families will take a road trip this summer. Also ahead, will Hispanic voters abandon the Democratic Party?

party. But first, the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates by three quarters of a point, the biggest increase since 1994. Economists hope the move will slow the rate of inflation by making money harder to get. Consumers now pay 9% more for goods and services than they did just one year ago, nine percent, said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on avoiding a recession, quote. The events of the last few months have raised a degree of difficulty and created great challenges. Can we still do it? We just don't know. Unquote, not encouraging. Americans now carrying more debt than any other time in history. As of June, U.S. households owe $15 trillion to lenders, mostly from credit cards, loans, home mortgages. High prices

couple would shrink inflation, pushing the actual rate of inflation. close to 11 percent, which is a disaster for everybody. The average household spends $8,000 every year just on interest payments. Two-thirds of the entire American population live paycheck to paycheck. Survey from Gallup finds 50% of the public believe America has poor moral values. That's up 18 points since 2004. A third say our values are just fair. 78% think society is getting worse.

Just 12% believe the culture is good. Folks blame the moral decay on lack of religion, poor parenting, the media, and a sense of entitlement. Less than 1% of voters think the USA is in, quote, excellent condition on the moral front. Costs of gasoline will not keep Americans trapped inside this summer, poll from AAA shows 70% of families are planning a road trip in a months ahead. Biggest destinations, the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, Red Rock Country, Arizona,

seven-mile bridge, Florida Keys, historic route 66, and the number one destination for the car, California's Pacific Coast Highway, which I drove two weeks ago. Magnificent. In a moment, Hispanic voters, not happy. back. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

Will Hispanic voters turn on the Democratic Party, and the answer is yes. Historically, white liberals, African Americans, and Hispanics have voted largely for the Democratic Party. Is that changing? Well, in South Texas, Republican Myra Flores defeated Dan Sanchez Tuesday the first time that redistricted place has voted for a Republican congressperson. So what does that tell you? Some stats. 19% of the U.S. population is Hispanic.

That's about 62 million people. 11% of registered voters in America, Hispanic. Most are of Mexican ancestry, followed by Puerto Rican, then Cuban. Median income for Hispanic families, $55,000, that is $5,000 less than the national average. States with the biggest Latino population, New Mexico, 48%, California, 40%, Texas 39, Arizona 31, Nevada 28, 28, Florida 27. A June survey from Quinebiak finds 26% of Hispanics approve a President Biden's performance, but 60% disapprove. 50% of those surveyed by Quinebiak want Republicans to take control of Congress. Again, that is Hispanic voters. Why? Well, many Hispanics are hourly workers. So when

inflation goes up, they get hurt the most. Hispanics are new to the USA, generally speaking. They haven't had time to build up financial reserve. The Biden failure on the economy is hurting them badly. They can feel it. So the Democratic Party can no longer count on the Hispanic vote. and that is a major political turn in America. Republicans should tell all working Americans, including, of course, Hispanics, exactly what the party will do to turn the economy around, very specifically. But Republicans should be careful. They should actually target groups that they can persuade.

Now, African Americans, they still are voting and block for the Democrats. You see that in Georgia. More than 90% of African Americans in Georgia are supporting an ultra-liberal senator, Warnock. But Hispanic Americans are not voting end-block anymore, and they don't like what President Biden has done to the economy. So Republicans have to zero in on Hispanic concerns, and it would help if some of the television ads were done in Spanish. So summing up, the Democratic Party has a coalition. Liberal whites, they're going to stay Democrat.

African Americans probably will, but this massive Hispanic vote will shift to the GOP, I predict, in November. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not. know. The heat wave, currently baking parts of the country, will go down as one of the most intense in history. From Anaheim to Atlanta, more than 90 million people saw the thermostat top 100 degrees recently. While that figure may seem extreme, it's actually normal for some

Americans. Here are the hottest places in the USA. The top five begins with Brownsville, Texas, border town, annual temperature, 80 degrees. That figure can spike to 115 in August. Next, Yuma, Arizona. The thermostat hovers around 81 degrees year round. The city reports an annual rainfall of only five inches. The desert climate of Yuma is nearly identical to Baghdad, Iraq. A hundred and ten degrees is common in southern Arizona in the summer. Number three, Miami, Florida, the only city in the continental USA with a tropical climate. Warm air from the Gulf creates a year-round temperature of 82 degrees. Since Europeans arrived in 1566, there has been only one report of snow.

A few flakes fell on Miami in January, 1970. The second spot goes to Las Vegas. The thermostat breaks 100 degrees in Vegas more than any other major city in America. The town also has the biggest temperature changes. On a day in August, Vegas can reach 110 degrees at noon and then fall to about 60 degrees by midnight. Wow. Finally, the hottest place in America, death. Valley, California. Summer temperatures in the town of Furnace Creek, aptly named,

can crack 135 degrees Fahrenheit. That can kill you. The extreme heat is the result of the town's elevation, 200 feet below sea level, with an annual rainfall of less than an inch. And here's something else you might not know. Most Americans are not fond of heat. According to the latest polls, our favorite invention of the 20th century, air conditioning. We spend $20 billion a year cooling our homes and businesses, but step outside the states, only 8% of the world population has AC. Back after this.
