Bill O'Reilly here. Wednesday, October 13th, 2021. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. A lot of people are quitting their jobs in the USA. An NBA star gets the boot for refusing the VACs. Grocery stores have shortages of just about everything. Gas prices top five bucks in New York City. Also I had a quiz. Are you ready for it? But first. More than four million Americans quit their jobs in August the most in 20 years. That's 3% of the entire workforce. Biggest losses taking place in restaurants and retail. Economists blame the troubling stat on government giveaways. 16 million adults now receive unemployment benefits every month. 12 million no longer face evictions for unpaid rent. Fifty-nine million Americans are on some kind of federal

welfare program. So that's why some don't want to work. The Brooklyn Nets basketball team banning point guard Kyrie Irving for refusing to be vaxed. The former rookie of the year is barred from participating until he gets the medicine. Irving has not elaborated on his reasons for remaining but he's not getting paid and he's got a four-year contract valued at $136 million. Too much math for me. Walmart, Target, other stores, warning shoppers of new shortages heading into the holidays. According to retailers, five essential items are becoming hardy to find. Beef, pork, chicken, juice, and snacks. Suppliers blame the empty shelves on vacant positions at processing plants. If you can find whatever you're looking for, you're going to pay more. The cost of steak,

for example, hot dogs, chicken wings, eggs all up 12%. This is going to come back to haunt the Biden administration. Drivers in the Big Apple, paying more for gas than at any point since 2014, Global demand, sending the cost for a gallon in Manhattan, above $5. The national average stands at $3.25, just eight states in the country at prices below $3. A typical fill-up in New York City is now $92. That's $5,000 a year on gasoline. The editorial board of the Waltry Journal blaming Joe Biden's burdensome regulation, for the surge in gas prices. And on that note, we have a quiz about the Biden administration.

Right back with it. 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 through the only dealer I trust, American, Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day, a quiz for you. So we had a little fun on the no-spin news. That's my television broadcast, which you can see on Bill O'Reilly.com. or other outlets across the country. So it's a short quiz on the current state of the federal government. You just answer yes or no to the following questions, which all fall under the banner of, does it make sense? Question number one,

does it make sense to allow millions of foreign nationals to enter the USA unsupervised? Yes or no? Does it make sense to abandon Afghanistan completely leading to human rights abuses by the Taliban? Does it make sense to shut down the Keystone pipeline, then turn around and ask Saudi Arabia to expand oil sales? Does it make sense to support critical race theory teaching in public schools that divides children on skin color? Does it make sense for the federal government to spend so much money that inflation explodes? Does it make sense to support no bail laws that allow criminals to commit more crimes?

Does it make sense to be one of only seven countries in the world that allow unrestricted abortions at the federal level? Does it make sense to oppose voter IDs? Does it make sense to say that white supremacists are a bigger terror threat than the jihadists? And finally, question number 10, does it make sense for a president of the United States to accuse his own country of systemic racism? Yes or no? now if you answered no to all ten questions you may have a keen grasp of reality but if you answered yes to the questions CNN would like to hire you I did this quiz because the Biden administration is having a very hard time but millions of Americans will not acknowledge that so me being a simple man

I put 10 simple questions up for debate. Yes or no. Very, very easy. And all 10 questions are absolutely happening. So, when you discuss politics with your liberal friends or your Democratic friends, these questions, foreign nationals flooding into the USA, Afghanistan, Keystone Pipeline shutdown, CRT, inflation, no bail laws, abortion unrestricted by the feds, voter IDs, white supremacy, systemic racism. All of these things are in play. And I have to tell you, I have never in my lifetime seen a more screwed up federal government than the one we have now. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve that message by actually putting it together. For more honest news analysis, please go to bill o'Reilly.com.

The decade is off to a very dubious start. I think we all know that. 2020 will go down in history for COVID, a bitterly divided nation, reckless spending, and far-left policies. If all that sounds familiar, it should. we have been here before in America, the roaring 20s. A century ago, the nation was struggling to recover from the Spanish flu pandemic, and U.S. troops were returning home from World War I. Inflation went way up. The stock market was up, up, up. After the World War War, the U.S.A. would rise as the only economic superpower on the planet. New York became the center of world finance,

generating tremendous wealth for those investing on Wall Street. America's gross domestic product more than double between 1920 and 1929. The decade was indeed roaring, but all of that money created a surge in new technologies. Average families installed electricity, purchased cars, even vacationed during the summer months in exotic places. The nation's aviation industry seized the world's attention as people like Charles Lindbergh experimented with transatlantic flight. Society changed dramatically. American women won the right to vote. Minority neighborhoods like Harlem, New York, experienced a renaissance that spawned jazz and other art forms. The era also witnessed the arrival of mass media. By the end of the decade, the rate

was in more than 12 million American homes. But all of that ended 92 years ago this month. On October 18th, 1929, the stock market crashed. Panic set in. Millions of people ran to banks to withdraw their money. Poverty descended. In less than three years, the U.S. market was worth just 20% of its entire value. The stock market lost 80% of its entire value. The stock market lost 80% of worth. Nearly half of America's banks fail. And unemployment was approaching 15 million people or 30% of the workforce. The roaring 20s were over. The Great Depression had begun. I hope this decade we're in turns out better than that. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
