Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly update. Morning Edition on this Wednesday, watching history unfold is the best part of my job. President Trump invited me to the White House on St. Patrick's Day and there was much to discuss. First up, the JFK files, which will now be made public. President knows I wrote killing Kennedy and asked my opinion. I suggested the files be released forth with. Two hours later the announcement was made. Second topic was Ukraine Putin. Extremely difficult, but progress is being made in a cease fire there. And the third was a resurrection of Kate's Law where deported foreign criminals would face harsh mandatory prison terms if they come back to the usa. This is must have legislation. I'm confident the Trump administration will drive it. We were close back in 2015 when 32 year old Kate Steinle was shot to death by a criminal migrant who defied deportation five times. Senator McConnell killed Kate's Law back then to his shame. He said it wouldn't pass the Senate. Well, maybe so, but you should have tried. Now President Trump, I believe will get behind Kate's Law and I think it will pass. So I sat there on St Patrick's Day in a cabinet meeting for 90 minutes.

What a privilege.
