No more Riley here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you Bill. It's Wednesday, March 1st, just like that, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America.

The drop set is Chicago, another example of failing up Iran, docking some warships in our neck of the woods, and who watched the first televised live golf tournament.

That is all coming up and then Bill will be here with the message today. But first the mayor of Chicago, Laurie Lightfoot, the first mayor of Chicago in 40 years to lose their re-election.

If you ever seen Laurie Lightfoot, it is a hilarious glitch in the matrix that this woman was ever elected, the mayor of the third largest city in the country in the first place.

Violent crime, up 52%. Since last year, I can't imagine what her next job will be, but I'm certain she will fail up yet again.

The COVID state of emergency is officially over in California, four days shy of three years. And Gavin Newsom, the governor thinks it was great.

No regrets. Quote, California is better prepared, and that's because we have a serious legislature and the health ecosystem in California is second and none in that country.

And speaking of failing up, Joe Biden just nominated the former California labor secretary to become the federal labor secretary, Julie Sue.

You may not know this woman. She oversaw the California unemployment system during COVID, where over 10% of all unemployment payments were fraudulent.

As high as 17%, $31 billion went to fraudsters, including $1 billion went to California prisoners. That's unemployment benefits going to California prisoners.

The defense department says Iran is 12 days away from making enough nuclear material for a nuclear bomb. But they said Iran still doesn't have the technology to actually build the bomb itself.

Yet I suppose I wonder how they can be a specific is 12 days, but I bring this up because Brazil has a new leftist government and they just allowed Iran to dock two warships in Rio de Janeiro over the weekend.

These ships have been sanctioned in the past, but they're going to get closer to America. The commander of Iran's navy said they plan to quote be present in the Panama Canal.

Live golf, that is the Saudi Arabian backed upstart golf league going against the PGA tour. They had their first televised tournament and went head to head against the PGA tour event, the lower level Honda classic.

So which tournament had more viewers do you think the live tournament on the CW had 290,000 viewers, the Honda classic, the PGA tour event, had 2.4 million.

So PGA tour one, we'll see how long that lasts. On my slider bills message of the day. Next.

Must remember do not forget.
