Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update morning edition. On this Monday there's a saying by Machiavelli. Remember him? That kind of nasty Italian philosopher? Well, he says, if you're going to dine with the devil, bring a long spoon. That means don't get too close to Satan. Well, we are dealing with the devil in Iran. There is no question the mullahs there are villains, killers, destabilizers, terrorists. And now, according to independent United Nations analysis, they're close to getting a nuclear weapon. That's why all this happened. That's why President Trump took action. Now of course anything the president does is going to be scrutinized and he can't really win. If he takes out Iran, then he's a war criminal. If he allows Iran some kind of appeasement, then he is a taco, somebody who backs out of difficult agreements. This is brutally unfair, but the American media despises Donald Trump. I think in some cases even more than they hate the mullahs. And this is playing out. Very difficult for the American people to find out exactly what is going on. But if you keep it here, I will tell you the truth. This deal that was made could collapse. Let's hope it doesn't. Back in a moment. Financial stress is hitting an all-time high. Millions of Americans are stretched thin with no extra money, no room to breathe. And this isn't just lower income households. Middle-class families are also running out of options. If debt has been weighing on you, you are not alone. And waiting usually makes things worse. Interest grows. Minimum payments trap you. Nothing changes. You don't need another loan or to consider bankruptcy. You need a strategy. That's why I like done with debt. They build a smart personalized plan around you and understand what it takes to work toward the biggest reductions possible. Whether you owe $10,000 or much more, their goal is simple. Lower what you owe so you keep more of your paycheck. Over the free consultation at donewithdebt.com. Donewithdebt.com. That is the morning O'Reilly update. More analysis later on.
