Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. The conclave denied in El Salvador. Here we go again. And gnome robbed. It's all coming up. The bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the word conclave comes from the Latin word meaning with key. This method of electing a new Pope started in 1268. That election lasted three years. This conclave is not expected to last quite that long. All the cardinals in the world under the age of 80 are allowed to vote for the new pope. That's 135 of them. In total, there's 252 cardinals around the world, but again, only those under 80 years old are allowed to vote. Front runners include two Italians, a Hungarian, a cardinal from the Philippines. Also in the running, someone from Jerusalem, Sri Lanka and Burma. The voting should begin somewhere between May 6 and May 12. Four Democrat congressmen arrived in El Salvador yesterday, but they were rejected in their request to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The four Congress people are from Oregon, Florida, Arizona and California. Los Angeles. The White House responded with multiple stories from each of these congress people's areas of different illegal alien criminals, including Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino, a 43 year old citizen of El Salvador arrested in Los angeles charged with first degree murder and the slaying of a 13 year old soccer player in Los Angeles who was found discarded on the side of the road and charged with the sexual assault of another young teenager in 2022. There's a full court press going on right now by the media to try to get Pete Hegseth fired from his position as secretary of defense. A lot of exclusive reporting like this from npr. The White House is looking to replace Pete Hegseth. All of this is according to, quote, an official not authorized to speak publicly to npr. Egg Sat's response? This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin the reputations. But it's not gonna work with me, trump told reporters. I hear they're doing the whole thing again. Here we go again. Just a waste of time. He's doing a great job. Ask the Houthis how he's doing. The head of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, was at a restaurant eating dinner in D.C. on Sunday night when someone stole her purse. The suspect is a white male wearing a medical mask and the thief got away with gnomes, driver's license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and $3,000 in cash. I'm Mike Slater. I host a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next.

It was a rather miraculous Easter Sunday in Rome as the ailing Pope got into the Pope Mobile and cruised around the Vatican. There were thousands of people on hand, of course, for Easter Sunday, and the Pope looked clear eyed lively. And then after that, he went back into the Vatican offices and met with Vice President Vance for 17 minutes. And it was a worldwide story. Here is the Pope who had been infirmed since February, getting out on Easter Sunday and rousing the crowd and talking to the vice president of the United States. Well, a few hours later, the pope is dead. And I can't help but thinking there was some divine guidance in his last hurrah. But that's because I'm a believer. I am an Irish Catholic, as you know. Now, the legacy of Pope Francis is twofold on the theology. He was an ace, very, very compassionate man. I met him one time briefly, but I observed him for a couple of hours that day in Rome. And he was so kind to the multitudes of people, of course, wanted to get close to him. And his whole philosophy was help the poor, help the poor and the marginalized. But of course, he ran into politics. But for me, Pope Francis did what Jesus assigned him to do. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Okay. YouTube O'Reilly channel almost at a million. I mean, I wanted to be at a million by Easter. Boy.

We're both Terriers. Do you know what that means? We both graduated from Boston University, and they're the terriers. So you will find out things you don't know about the congresswoman if you watch my presentation on YouTube. Let's go to the mail. David Still, Marion, Texas. Bill, for 20 years, I've watched you. You've repeatedly stated bad behavior does not justify other bad behavior. Yet you recently said that President Trump, by not bringing back the father who was erroneously deported, will antagonize the Supreme Court. Would that not be behavior unethical on a part of scotus? Yeah, but they're human beings. So if you're going to antagonize the Supreme Court by ignoring their rulings, remember, they say they had to expedite the return of this guy to the United States from El Salvador. That's going to be in their minds. And maybe it'll play out, maybe it won't. But why? You don't want to do that. This is Brett Latham, Terre Haute, Indiana. I keep hearing that Garcia was mistakenly deported, but I never heard anyone articulate just what the mistake was. According to justice debarman, he has no criminal record here or in El Salvador. And all of the others who were deported at criminal records. That's why it was a mistake. If you don't have a criminal record, you put in another group could be an undesirable, you could be whatever. But that's what the mistake was. In a moment, something you might not know. I rely on physical precious metals like gold and silver to protect my savings.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. The ongoing tariff situation very difficult for many Americans to process. However, imposing high taxes on foreign products is causing big market swings that we can all understand. And there is fear. President Trump's primary goal is to reshape the entire economy. Throughout U.S. history, just one other president has successively shaken the capitalistic system. Here is the story behind Theodore Roosevelt and the robber barons. Propelled by the Industrial Revolution after the Civil War, the United States quickly became a global superpower. Corporate titans called robber barons ruled almost the entire American economy. Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, JP Morgan control financing, steel, Wall street, oil, electricity, communications and railroads. Together, these barons own more than 40% of America's total GDP net worth $400 billion. But these were not generous men. They forced millions of American workers to toil in horrendous conditions. Tens of thousands died each year on dangerous oil fields, coal mines, construction sites, train yards. Most of those working for the barons earned less than a dollar a day, the modern equivalent of $10,000 a year. Enter President Roosevelt. Teddy took control of the White House after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901. He immediately sued the robber barons and totally filed 40 antitrust lawsuits against Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie. Three years later, the Supreme Court sided with TR the justices ruled the barons ran illegal monopolies over America's most important industries. The companies were then divided up into hundreds of smaller operations across the land. And here's something else you might not know. Though the giant trusts were eventually dismantled, many of those companies remain the biggest organizations in America today. Survivors of the robber baron's financial empire include Exxon, Chevron, General Electric, JP Morgan Chase, US Steel, and Con Edison. Back after this.
