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 Friday, October 20th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. President Biden speaks to the nation. State Department issues a warning.

Sidney Powell pleads guilty, and prices just won't drop. That's all coming up. Then Bill will be here with your message of the day. But first, Joe Biden spoke to the nation last night, making the case. why we need to pass a $100 billion aid package, including $10 million for Gaza, which is, of course, going right to Hamas. His speech bounced back and forth between Hamas and Putin and Ukraine,

equating Ukraine and Israel, and then warned America against Islamophobia. Meanwhile, Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen, fired three missiles that were intercepted by the USS Karnia, Navy destroyer in the Red Sea. They were headed north. If you look at a map, north of Yemen is Israel. The U.S. State Department has issued a worldwide caution alert for any American overseas to exercise increased caution due to increased tensions in various locations around the world. This is all Americans everywhere. The State Department also said there's an increased potential

for terrorist attacks, demonstrations, or violent actions against U.S. citizens. On top of that, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut urged Americans to leave the country as soon as possible. I'm concerned about a Benghazi-like situation. Sydney Powell, remember her from the 2020 election aftermath, release the crackin, Sydney, pal. She pled guilty in Georgia to a racketeering case, that racketeering case with Trump and 17 others. So she'll serve six years probation, be fined $6,000, and have to write. an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. And she will now be making a recorded statement for prosecutors and testify against Donald Trump.

She is the most prominent person who is now working with the prosecution against the former president. She pled to six counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties. That's that's that's her crime. Home sales are at their lowest pace in 13 years. Why? Because so many people have low rates. More than 60% of homeowners have mortgage rates below 6%. Of course, they're now reluctant to sell their house and buy new ones now that rates are above 8%. So sales are down 15% from a year ago, but prices are still high. The median existing home sales price in September was 3% above a year ago. So interest rates are sky high

and the prices aren't dropping. I'm Mike Slater. Have a wonderful weekend.

On this Friday, it is both astonishing and outrageous that most major national news organizations reported that Israel blew up a hospital in Gaza killing hundreds. The source of the information was Hamas, so that immediately, disqualifies any honest journalist from citing Israel as the hospital attacker, right? But no.

The Associated Press, Reuters, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times all inflamed a violent situation by reporting the Hamas accusation. None of those agencies had any backup for their reportage. What they should have done is said something like this. A hospital in Gaza was hit with rocket fire today. Both Israel and Hamas blame the other. Now, is that hard? That's journalism 101.

Subsequently, U.S. intelligence agencies say that the rocket was a misfire. by Islamic terrorists. That has been widely reported, but the damage was done. Millions of ill-informed people believe Israel is responsible for killing people in a hospital because that's what they want to believe. And it was reinforced by a corrupt media. We have a major problem with the press in this country. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

I'm a registered Republican. I'm so upset with the party about the speaker vote that I'm leaving. I will be an independent. Good for you. I'm an independent. Ann Grubbler, Scottsdale, Arizona. The Republicans have been so childish. It's time to switch parties? How can Congress look Americans who supported them in the face and cause all the chaos? I don't know. I mean, it's not my ballywick, but Republicans are not doing themselves any good. James. Bill, once again, you are correct. The super rich will continue to support any Democrat with

millions of dollars. Conservatives are so divided if we do not unite together, the Democrats will win again. They're going to have the money. You're going to have the money. Cicely Gold, Brazelton, Georgia. Egypt is not as stupid as us. We allow terrorists in through the southern border. Egypt will not. Egypt's got plenty of terrorists, just so you know. The Islamic Brotherhood is centered in Cairo. The Egyptian secret police are very tough on jihadists, But Egypt isn't going to light any fuses in this area because there's a lot of militant Islamists living in Egypt. Dan Magh, Valparaiso, Indiana.

What's to stop the terrorists from using a nuke on Israel? Well, the main thing is they don't have a nuke. That's what would stop them. But that's why Iran is trying to get one. That's what that is all about. In a moment, something you might not know. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

There are conflicting reports on whether Iran orchestrated the recent terror attack on Israel. What is clear is that since its founding, the Islamic Republic has been an agent of violence throughout the Middle East. Here is a brief rundown. The Islamic Revolution overthrew the Shah of Iran in 1979. Hundreds of hostages were seized at the U.S. embassy. Religious zealot Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile and was anointed the supreme leader.

The pro-Western government evaporated overnight. The Ayatollah then created thousands of Islamic committees to enforce Muslim law. Women were ordered to cover their hair. Independent newspapers banned, American media eliminated from TV, political opponents assassinated by the Mullahs. Today, the clerics in Tehran are even more fanatical. Insulting the Prophet Muhammad, same-sex relationships, or consuming alcohol, can carry a death sentence. Transgender people are automatically categorized as prostitutes and imprisoned. Women who have an affair are given 100 lashes from a leather whip.

Women who have an affair with a non-Muslim are executed. The Muller's maintained complete control with an extensive network of torture sites and military prisons and secret police. The United Nations estimates there are currently 250,000 Iranians in prison for so-called religious crimes. At least 1,000 are executed each year. The method is determined by the charges. Adulterers stone to death. Political opponents hanged. Homosexuals subjected to death by falling from great heights, meaning they are tossed off the tops of buildings. Globally, Iran operates a vast network of terror groups in

Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria. In total, Iran gives more than a billion dollars a year to Hamas. The aid is not given to help the innocent people there. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.
