Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update morning edition. On this Wednesday, war crimes. Asolatus leftist mantra against the American-led action in Iran. The accusation is that the Trump administration is targeting civilians and that violates international law. Only it doesn't. After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel attacked Gaza, hunting down terrorists. Thousands of civilians were killed because Hamas set up command and control near civilian situations like hospitals and schools. So what was Israel supposed to do? Stop hunting down the Hamas killers? The Gaza terrorists are responsible themselves for the civilian deaths. Somebody tell Columbia University. Same thing is happening in Iran where the murderous Revolutionary Guard is using civilians as shields. The United States is not party to any war crime scenario because it understands the war on terror which Iran has embraced. Rational people don't want dead civilians. But if just one nuke is used, there will be plenty of them. Back in a moment. Financial stress is hitting an all-time high. Because of Americans are stretched thin with no extra money, no room to breathe. This isn't just lower-income households. Middle-class families are also running out of options. If dead has been weighing on you, you are not alone. And waiting usually makes things worse. Interest grows. Minimum payments trap you. Nothing changes.
