Bill O'Reilly
Thank you, bill. It's Monday, April 14, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Colts murderer, arson at governor's house, temporary tariff exemption and masters win. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, a 17 year old in Wisconsin allegedly killed his parents in pursuit of the quote, financial means and autonomy to then assassinate President Trump. The 17 year old was part of a satanic cult. This is all according to court documents. A satanic cult with strong anti Jewish, anti Christian and anti Western ideologies. Investigators found a manifesto which described a call to assassinate President Trump, make and detonate bombs and carry out other terrorist attacks. The charges include two counts of first degree murder, two counts of hiding a corpse. He also faces federal charges tied to the planned assassination. In other political violence news, a 38 year old man was arrested in connection with the fire at the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania. It was 2am Josh Shapiro, the governor and his family and two dogs were in the house. No one was injured. The 38 year old is charged with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson and assault. The governor said it was a targeted attack. Police say the suspect climbed a fence and while troopers were looking for him in the middle of the night, he set the house on fire. And this all took place over a period of several minutes. It was announced on Friday night that a range of electronic devices will be exempt from tariffs on China. Big tech companies happy about this. Of course, smartphones, computers, solar cells, flat panel TV displays and semiconductor based storage devices, among others, exempt from the tariffs. But the commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick said this weekend all those products are going to come under semiconductors that I just listed and they're going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips and we need to have flat panels. We can't be reliant on Southeast Asia for all the things that operate for us, he said. So what President Trump's doing, he's saying they're exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, but they're included in the semiconductor tariffs, which are coming in probably a month or two. So those will be coming soon. Rory McElroy won the green jacket at the Masters yesterday. Came down to a playoff between Justin Rose and McElroy where he got a birdie on the first hole to win it. This is a career Grand Slam for him, his fifth major title. He's the sixth player in history to have the career Grand Slam. He's also the first Masters champion to earn over $4 million for the win. The first million dollar winner was Tiger woods back in 2005. He was also the first $2 million winner. I'm Mike Slater. I host a podcast called Politics by Faith. The great Bill O'Reilly, he has your message of the day next.

The stock market up, down, in, out, not because the companies are doing well or failing, but because of one man, Donald Trump. And whatever he does as far as international trade or even some domestic policies, the stock market watches it. And then people sell if they don't like it. And then when the market goes down, other people, speculators buy up and down. This is not good. Now the American people are soft. I'm sorry. It's true. You know it's true. The Chinese people are hard. The Russian people are hard. Their leadership in both of those countries don't give a fig about individuals. We are all expendable. But in America, we the people have rights, demands and expectations and we don't expect our income portfolios, money we worked hard to obtain, to go down. And that's what's happening. Therefore, emotion comes in fear, loathing. All of that directed at the guy in the middle of all this, Donald Trump. It is not fair, but it is reality. I think the president knows that now. I'm rooting for the USA to win this trade thing. I hope it does, but there are no assurances. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, Bill, at billorilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. William Woodward, Elo, Texas. It would seem to be prudent to keep Elon Musk and other advisors out of the spotlight. Their work seems to be best done in the background. Allow President Trump to take the credit. I don't could argue with that. I don't, I don't think Elon is going to be around much longer. I don't know. I don't have any inside. I just feel, feeling for now. Robert Reynolds, Nashville, Tennessee. You're the only person O'Reilly and get a sensible answer from. I've heard many opinions on peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. I haven't heard or read anything about the peace talks since the blow up in the Oval Office with the Linsky. Now they're at the peace table, but Putin's not allowing his negotiators to do anything. It's a Putin play. Alan Kai, Saratoga, California. Just read Confronting the Presidents. Thought it was wonderful. Yay. About to graduate from high school.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. It is officially Holy Week. Around the world, 2.4 billion Christians will honor the resurrection of Jesus, who they believe to be God. While most believers agree on the central tenets of the Christian faith, many sects disagree on some details. Here are the stats on modern Christianity around the world. The biggest branch Roman Catholics 1.3 billion members in every country on earth. The church, meaning universal in Latin, dates back to the death of the Nazarene shortly after crucifixion. The Apostle Peter was named the first pope. The second largest Christian sect, Protestants. That movement began in the 16th century when a German monk, Martin Luther, began speaking out against the Vatican. Then British King Henry VIII established the Church of England so he could divorce and eventually execute his wife. Protestants reject the authority of the pope, emphasizing a believer's personal relationship with Jesus. The movement encompasses thousands of different sects, most popular in America, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian. Worldwide membership 800 million people. The third largest Christian branch, Eastern Orthodox. The church split from the Vatican in the 11th century. The new religion was based in Constantinople, then the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. In total, there are 300 million members in Greece, Eastern Europe and Russia. While the so called Big Three branches of Christianity comprise 90% of the planet's population population which believe in Jesus, followers of smaller sects number in the tens of millions. Mormons, Jehovah's Witness, the Amish, the Coptic Church. And here's something else you might not know. While Holy Week is primarily observed by the followers of Jesus, the events are also intertwined with other religions. Muslims regard the Nazarene as a prophet but reject his role as a messiah. Jews around the world will celebrate Passover with a traditional Seder, the same meal Jesus ate at the Last Supper. Back after this.
