Bill O'Reilly here. Tuesday, May 10, 2022. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Speaker Pelosi praises anti-Catholic protesters. Gas prices hit record highs. Stocks praise for another brutal week. Americans report more anxiety than at any time in history. Also ahead, is marriage doomed in the U.S. But first, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi siding with pro-abortion protesters targeting Catholic churches, said Pelosi, quote, we have seen and heard extraordinary anguish in our communities. We have been moved by how so many have channeled their righteous anger into meaningful action, unquote. Abortion activists also calling for unrest at the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices.

By the way, Mrs. Pelosi says she is an observant Catholic. Gas prices poised to smash records for the third time this year alone. The cost for a gallon rising 17 cents in the last five days. Economists blame the spike on Wall Street troubles and inflation. The National Prize for Gas now standing at $4.20 a gallon. That figure tops $5 in New York City, L.A., San Francisco, and Hawaii. filling up an SUV in Manhattan will set you back a hundred bucks. Investors hoping for a rebound after the stock market recorded its worst week in a year.

Hardest hit companies, tech and entertainment. Facebook falling 47% compared to last May. Uber down 47%. Amazon, 36%. Disney, 32%. Google, 21%. Netflix a whopping 71%. Stocks took a dive after the Federal Reserve announced an interest rate hike to slow red-hot inflation. Survey from the American Psychological Association says

87% of adults experience significant anxiety every day. Biggest sources of stress include finance, COVID, and a growing concern over nuclear war with Russia. Nine and ten parents say the recent news cycle has damaged their children's psyche. But in my opinion, these hard times will eventually pass. In a moment, I don't. Is marriage on the way to obsolescence in America? Right back with it. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

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 is 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 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.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 249 years ago today, the British Parliament passed a series of new taxes, on its overseas territories, including the colonies of America. Well, the new taxes on tea led directly to the Revolutionary War. Here is the story. On May 10, 1773, London granted the British East India Company a monopoly on the sale of tea

to North America. The order crushed local businesses and merchants here. When three T ships, the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver arrived in Boston Harbor, the colonists demanded the products go back to England. They would not allow the ships to unload. In response to the royal governor of Massachusetts ordered the locals to buy the tea or else, that angered almost everybody, including the Sons of Liberty, a radical organization in Boston. night on December 16, 1773, 60 men wearing outfits taken from local Native American tribes,

boarded the T-boats in Boston Harbor, dumped 350 containers into the Atlantic Ocean. The total amount of goods destroyed was valued at $18,000 back then. Today, that would be a half a million dollars. Wow. Outraged by the blatant destruction of British property, Parliament and even more onerous taxes and rules against the colonies, including the intolerable acts of 1774. The English crown closed Boston and merchant shipping, trying to starve the people. London established former British military rule in Massachusetts, made English officials immune to criminal prosecution, and required colonists to house British troops. The Boston Tea Party was the first major act of defiance against London,

London by the North Americans. It rallied patriots across all 13 colonies to fight for independence. And here's something else you might not know. While broadly popular with the folks, the Tea Party was scorned by a few founding fathers. Benjamin Franklin actually demanded the Sons of Liberty reimburse the British East India Company. George Washington wrote in 1774 he was disappointed the Bostonians had gone mad. But old George soon changed his mind. now this power politics and the people behind the headlines i'm miranda divine new york post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast podforce one every week i'll sit down for candid conversations with washington's most powerful disruptors lawmakers newsmakers and even the president of
