Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, March 21st, 2023. Here's this happening today in America. Trump calling for protests. Gavin Newsom demanding your money.

The happiest countries in the world and the happiest coach is at the White House. It's all coming up. Then Bill's here with the message of the day. But first, Donald Trump said he would be arrested on Tuesday. On truth social, he said, illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney's office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros. This is all in capitals, by the way. Indicate that with no crime being able to be proven and based on an old and fully debunked by numerous other prosecutors' fairy tale,

the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. protest take our nation back the accusation is that trump's old lawyer michael cohen gave stormy daniels $130,000 in hush money during the lead-up to 2016 campaign to stay quiet about an affair she had with trump i don't even really know why that's illegal but trump said he didn't know about the payment he thought he was paying michael cohen as just part of his legal expense this would be the first time in u.s history a former president is criminally indicted But to win the case, the DA would have to prove that Trump knowingly and willfully paid this hush money. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is asking the federal government, so you, to pay for six months of rent for homeless people in California if they're on Medicaid.

They call it transitional rent. So it's for people moving off the streets into an apartment. And also for people who are on the brink of losing their apartment, the feds, you will pay six months of that person's rent. What percentage of homeless people in America do you think live in California? California is 12% of the nation's population. But what percentage of the homeless population? 30. And it's not just because of the nice weather.

This ranking has always annoyed me, but it's world's happiest countries. Number 10, New Zealand. Number nine, Luxembourg. Switzerland, Norway. Sweden. Number five, the Netherlands. Number four, Israel. Number three, Iceland.

Number two, Denmark. And the world's happiest country, Finland. USA is ranked number 15. the least happy countries in the world, Lebanon, 136, and last place, Afghanistan. But speaking of happiness, the stars of Ted Lassau met with the president to talk about mental health awareness and even spoke at the White House press briefing room. And Jason Sudeikas had a nice message about mental health, but it's also a little weird to use the White House as a platform to promote the new season of Ted Lassow, which premiered on Apple TV

last Wednesday. But also, here we are mentioning mental health awareness. So I guess it worked. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith. The great Bill O'Reilly will be here next.

You don't want to miss an episode. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Tuesday, here's something to keep an eye on. If Donald Trump is indicted by a Manhattan grand jury at the behest,

of far-left district attorney Alvin Bragg, the House Republicans will almost certainly refer criminal charges against the Biden family, perhaps including the president himself. That's because everybody knows the Stormy Daniels situation is being used to punish Donald Trump politically, just as the two impeachments were. The GOP rightly will fight back. In the middle of this political chicanery are we the people. All of this certainly does not help strengthen our country. In fact, major damage is being done to the USA by zealots on both sides of the political equation, but mostly the far left.

The media, of course, could not care less about the folks and will not report the truth about our now weaponized, system, which rarely seeks justice. Today, it's all about power politics and ideology. So-called prosecutorial discretion and the failure of civil judges in following stated law has destroyed accountability in the nation's court system. If you are looking for justice there, beware. From us, We will give you the facts about the entire Trump situation without calculation or deceit. We hope you respect that.

When a guy's looking to get you, a DA, looking to get you, they'll get you.

Diana, Julian, Lincoln, California. If Trump is arrested, can he still run for president? Yes. Now, he's convicted of a felony, then it gets dicey, which he won't be, by the way. But he can run if he's arrested. I'll Chickabay, Massachusetts. I'm retired, but when I was working, I used to come home and watch The Factor to find out what was really going on in the world.

The two were married in 1614 and then sailed to England.

In London, Pocahontas was revered as a princess and referred to as Lady Rebecca. She attended plays and balls and was even presented to the royal family. to the royal family. In the spring of 1617, Pocahontas, her husband and son, set sail back to Virginia.
