Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, May 28, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Donald Trump says America will not rush any peace deals. A new survey finds life is no longer fun for many citizens. A report ranks the healthiest cities in the country, and Americans censor themselves.

more than ever before. Also coming up my message of the day about the billionaires fighting back against the communists that's coming up. But first, President Trump convening his cabinet at Camp David this week, the commander-in-chief telling reporters that America will not rush into any peace agreement with Iran for political purposes. An early draft of the proposal would lift the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in return for the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices in the U.S. are up 50 percent since the conflict began.

and in late February. The highest gas costs can be found in California, $6 a gallon, but we will talk about that. A little context. Another example of billionaires fighting back against $6 gas. We'll explain in a minute. A national poll from study fines reveals 48% of Americans say their lives are lacking fun.

Respondents cite the cost of living as a major barrier to happiness. 72% say financial stress causes daily anxiety, lack of sleep, and general depression. Since 2019, prices for daily necessities like food, gas, and car payments are up 30% across America. A survey from Wallet Hub, revealing America's healthiest towns. The cities are ranked by exercise, rates of obesity, percentage of smokers, drug addiction, and life expectancy. The fittest place in America for the sixth year in a row, Salt Lake City, Utah, followed by San Diego, Miami Beach, and Denver, Colorado. the unhealthiest towns in America, Brownsville, Texas, then Mobile, Alabama, and Jackson, Mississippi.

A study released by Axios finds that Americans are still, and not just still, increasingly, censoring themselves. The survey highlights a huge gap between a person's public and private opinions. 40% are afraid to voice their true beliefs. Researchers say folks fear being canceled for unpopular opinions. A quarter of the population believes they can be fired for saying the wrong thing. 10% of people report losing friends or family members over politics. And to be clear, almost all of that is because of the person with the TDS. Coming up my message of the day about the billionaires fighting back against the AOC

communists of our country. And then something you might not know, we can no longer allow the left to get away with this excuse for not only theft, but even for murder. I'm Mike Slater. More coming up next. Becoming more aware of how quickly life can change, really put things into perspective for me.

And the billionaires are finally fighting back. AOC the other day said the American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. That's not true.

Many of our founders were the richest men in the colonies. And many of them gave up their entire fortunes and died with nothing because of the war. But they pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Senator Mike Lee said it was against a large, distant, overly intrusive government that recognized no limits over its own authority to. to tax, regulate, and eat out the substance of its citizens a claim to serve, which is what the Democrats specialize in today. But what AOC said there was a part of a larger point she was making, she said, you can't earn a

billion dollars. You can get market power. You can break rules. You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than their worth. But you can't earn that. So you have to create a myth. You have to create a myth of earning it.

Now, AOC and communists like her. I've been saying stuff like this for a long time, but I appreciate finally the billionaire stepping up and defending themselves. Like when the mayor of New York City, Mamdani called out specifically Ken Griffin. Remember he made that video not too long ago about taxing people's second homes?

And he specifically called out Ken Griffin. One particular guy who was standing outside Ken Griffin's apartment building and said, this guy contributes nothing to New York City. Meanwhile, he's in the process of building a $6 billion sky. ice creamer in New York City. But Ken Griffin came out and said,

all right, fine, we're going to move our company to Miami. When the mayor of Seattle was asked about Starbucks and other companies leaving her city, she was up on stage and said, bye. Well, now Starbucks is expanding their headquarters in Nashville, and Howard Schultz himself, the founder of Starbucks, has moved to Florida.

Now she's changing her tune slightly. Billionaires of fighting back. Chevron has these signs up at their stations in California. I didn't think these were real when I first saw them. I thought it was some sort of conservative ad campaign or something like that, but it's actually Chevron.

And these signs at the gas station say, California has the highest gas taxes and fees in America. One sign says nearly 25% of your gas money goes to state taxes and fees. Another sign says, Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more. As a car wrapped, it's like being strangled by a gas hose. I love that. fighting back against politicians. Robert Reich, who was the Secretary of Labor in the 90s under Clinton, he worked for

Obama, taught at Harvard for a long time. He said, there are basically five ways to accumulate a billion dollars. One, profiting from a monopoly. Two, insider trading. Three, political payoffs. Four, fraud. Five inheritance. Don't believe the self-made myth.

There it is again. Same talking point that AOC had. That making money is a myth. Well, Michael Dell, founder of Delaware, computers said Robert Rice forgot the sixth and most important way. Build something that millions of people actually want. The communists are getting bolder. And so are the billionaires. And I like it. Now, to be clear, the billionaires are not paragons of morality. But they do some things that should be valued, like take oil out of the ground and turn it into gasoline to make our cars go. I don't know how

to do that. Chevron does. So at least they provide some service to me. The communists provide nothing. Billionaires are not saints. They're not people we should worship. AOC hates the billionaires because she wants you to depend on her and the government. And the billionaires hate the government because they want you to depend on them. The real focus should be on God because we're actually dependent on him. Mike Slater filling in for Bill O'Reilly. Something you might not know. Next. Mike Slater filling in for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for something you might not know. Poverty doesn't equal crime. The left makes this excuse all the time,

and it's not true. They'll say, oh, well, he was poor. So therefore, of course he stole something. Or even he's poor, so of course he killed someone. Don't fall for that. There was a 21-year-old in England who went to a local park to test his new camera, and he got stabbed to death by a migrant.

Oluwadami Lola, Ogunyani. is the murderer. And his dad said that he did not want his son to be a part of any racist analysis of illegal immigration. He said the hate should not be directed at minorities. It should be at the government.

They're the ones to blame. Not immigrants, not black kids. My son was proud to be a Londoner, proud of this multicultural, wonderful place we are. And it doesn't matter where his... He's talking about his son, where his son's killer comes from. It's nothing to do with that. It's a class thing. And that's been created by the government.

The dad of the murdered young man went on to say that we got to look at our teenagers who can't get houses and can't get work, excusing his son's murderer. I'm rereading the book that made me fall in love with reading. It's called Boys on the Boat. I finally broke down and watched the movie on the plane. And it was offensive how bad this movie was compared to the book. So I had to reread the book. and it's as wonderful as I thought. The main character of the book, Joe Rance, 1920s, Washington, his stepmother hated him when he was a little boy.

And they would move to different places because she was always so miserable. They were dirt poor in the Pacific Northwest. And they moved to a farm and she still hated it. And then the Depression hit. And so many people left town that they left their dogs behind. The dogs started attacking their cows

and the cows stopped making milk. And wild animals started killing their chickens. They didn't have eggs anymore. And everything was falling apart. And one day Joe Rance came home from school, and the car was backed out of the driveway with his three stepbrothers and stepmom and dad in the car, all packed up. And dad told him that they're moving to California.

But he's not. He was staying. Dad said, sooner or later, you're going to have to learn to make it alone in this world. Joe was 15. I bring this up because Joe did not become a gang member. He worked hard, worked his way through college, joined the crew team, went out to win an Olympic gold medal. Poverty does not have to equal knifing people to death.

Stop letting the left get away with that lie. More coming up. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Thank you for letting me fill in for Bill O'Reilly today. Hope you have a wonderful day. See you tomorrow. Spread the word.
