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 Muller's. 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.
