Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.
Thank you, Bill.
It's Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
Here's what's happening today in America.
CIA coup, Kenyan insurrection, Fed rates and Phelps to Congress.
That's all coming up, then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.
But first, a congressional report was just released and concluded that the CIA interfered in the 2020 election
by colluding with the Biden campaign to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Former CIA director Michael Morel acknowledged to Congress during the investigation.
He said, quote, it's inappropriate for a currently serving staff,
officer or contractor to be involved in the political process.
The report concluded that it was current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken
that coordinated the story for political purposes.
You've heard of the 51 former CIA officers who said that the Hunter Biden and
laptop story had all the signs of Russian disinformation.
Well, some of the people who signed that letter were still active with the CIA when they
signed it.
And it was a CNN reporter who wrote that initial report in Politico of dozens of former
Intel officers, and CNN, friendly reminder, is hosting the debate tomorrow.
At least five people were killed and 30 wounded in Kenya when anti-tax protesters stormed
the parliament.
It was an insurrection, and the police fired back in them.
Kenyans have been protesting for weeks against a finance bill that would raise taxes on everything
from bread to car insurance, and protesters vowed to march until the entire bill was
withdrawn to make this extra noteworthy, among the protesters who were tear-gast, Barack Obama's
64-year-old half-sister,
Auma Obama.
The Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman was in London,
and while many experts are anticipating still a Fed rate cut by the end of the year,
she said we are still not yet at the point
where it's appropriate to lower the policy rate.
She went on to say that she'd be willing to raise rates,
not if inflation went up,
but even raise rates if inflation stayed the same
where it is right now for a period of time.
Olympian Michael Phelps spoke to Congress to ask them to pressure the World Anti-Doping Agency
to enforce its regulations equally across all the nations, obviously you would think.
But apparently like every other world agency, the UN and the WHO, the World Anti-Doping Agency
goes easy on the Chinese.
Two dozen Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned substance before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics,
but they let him swim anyway.
The Olympics begin on July 26th in Paris.
Mike Slater from politics by fate, the great Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day.
Next.
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.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day.
On this Wednesday, the world is watching the American presidential campaign.
With so many threats afoot, pretty much everyone will be affected by our November vote.
According to a Pew Research Center study, President Biden is more popular internationally than Donald Trump.
The Pew people polled 34 nations, found 43% of those folks have confidence Mr. Biden will do the right thing,
while just 23% say Trump has the better outlook.
Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden support Biden the most,
while Hungary and Tunisia like Trump considerably more than Biden.
I'm not sure about the Tunisian situation.
Does Trump remind them of Hannibal?
Anyway, there are two major reasons for the data.
First, most countries don't give a fig about the madness on the U.S.-Mexican border,
and they don't much care that we are paying very high prices for bananas.
They do care about climate change, not a priority for the dawn.
Secondly, like the USA, European media veers sharply left.
Since the end of the Cold War, this has intensified.
What's confusing is that President Trump largely kept the peace during his four years in office,
but President Biden is looking at massive violence and confrontation from the South China Sea to Ukraine.
But I'm being logical here, and that is no longer a political plus.
Now it's all emotion.
How do you say you're crazy in Swedish?

Name in town if you wish to opine.
All right, let's go to The Mail.
I'm not going to use this guy's name because he's a very loyal,
no-spin-news watcher, and I'm not disparaging him,
but I'm going to have to scold him a little bit.
Hey, Bill, your assertion that CNN would never show.
share its question with his preferred candidate is unfounded. When Donna Brazil gave the edge to her
candidate, Hillary Clinton, Brazil was working for CNN. The difference between CNN and his employees
is a distinction without a difference. That's not true. Every company cannot control what their
individual employees do. Ms. Brazil leaked questions to Hillary Clinton. She admits she did it. She
admits CNN didn't know anything about it and there's not one shred of evidence.
that management of CNN encouraged Brazil to do it.
She did it on her own.
Sandra Bai, Shiloh, Illinois.
Bill, can you please tell me why someone didn't insist
that one moderator at the debate be for Trump?
Because no one can insist anything.
CNN invited the candidates.
They accepted.
CNN does what it wants.
That's it.
Nobody can't insist.
Joseph Crow, Evansville, Indiana.
Bill, how is it for 244 years America has existed as a peaceful, prosperous sovereign nation?
But in January of 2021, it began its dissent towards socialism and left-wing madness.
It's because the people voted for it.
Now, they didn't know Joe Biden was so far left and so diminished.
That's true.
But now they do.
And we'll see what happens in November.
You want a socialist country?
Vote for Biden.
Peter Lyons, Seagirt, New Jersey, with only three states having laws to stop illegals from voting,
how can we know the Dembs won't flood his own?
It's a federal crime if you vote and you're not a citizen.
Okay, it's also a state crime, but it's feds.
In a moment, something you might not know.
Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know.
47 years ago today, Elvis Presley performed his final concert in Indianapolis.
Seven weeks later, he was found dead inside his Memphis mansion.
Here's the story behind the King of Rock.
Elvis Aaron Presley was born inside a tiny one-bedroom shack in rural Mississippi.
on January 8, 1935.
The boy began performing his parties when he was 12 years old.
In 1956, Elvis hit number one with the song Hound Dog.
The tune launched one of the most successful acts in entertainment history.
Throughout his 20-year career, the king racked up 18 number one singles, another 40 in the top 10.
Presley has sold more than one billion albums worldwide.
He also appeared in 31 movies.
Sadly, famed Dorell Elvis.
In total, he was abusing more than 30 different medications.
By 1977, the singer had gained 50 pounds, slept 15 hours a day.
On June 26th, the King appeared on stage at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.
It would be the last performance of the United States.
It would be the last performance of his life.
In August,
in August 177,
Elvis,
dead on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion at the age of 42.
Doctor said he died of a heart attack, but it was the drugs.
And here's something else you might not know.
Graceland has fallen on hard times.
Earlier this year, the mansion was facing foreclosure, following the death of Presley's
daughter, Lisa Marie, who took out a $5 million loan using the property as collateral.
Now, Elvis's granddaughter, a 35-year-old actress named Riley Kehoe, is fighting to save the family estate.
