Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, April 24, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America not helping for peace. Major autism study, first of many and Elon scaling back. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelensky's recent comments are, quote, very harmful to the peace negotiations with Russia. It's inflammatory statements like Zelensky's that make it so difficult to settle this war. Trump said the statement made by Zelensky today will do nothing but prolong the killing field. And nobody wants that. We're very close to a deal, but the man with no cards to play should now finally get it done. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine and Russia get out of this complete and total mess that would never have started if I were president. JD Van said that a very explicit proposal has been sent to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process. The new head of the National Institute of Health, Jay Bhattacharya, announced a new autism database, part of a major study that Bhattacharya said would address the cause of the rise in autism. He said the goal of my leadership at the NIH is going to make it so. Those questions are no longer taboo among scientists. We reported yesterday about Health and Human Services banning certain petroleum based food dyes. In a speech yesterday, RFK Jr. Said we're going to have revolutionary change. This is my legacy and it's President Trump's legacy. I have a president now behind me who does not care about the haters. He's been called by every soda company, every candy company, every processed food company. And most of the time he says, I don't care. You do what you need to do and I'm going to block for you. Things are going to change and they're going to change dramatically over the next four years. Prosecutors have unsealed federal terrorism charges targeting an alleged high ranking member of the Venezuelan Trend Aragua gang who was arrested in Colombia on March 31st. This person is the first alleged TDA member to be charged with terrorism offenses since Donald Trump declared this gang a terrorist organization. He was taken into custody in Colombia on March 31. Unclear when he'll be extradited to the United States. The attorney general, Pam Bondi said tda is not a street gang. It's a highly structured terrorist organization that put down roots in our country during the prior administration. Today's charges represent an inflection point in how this DOJ will prosecute and ultimately dismantle this evil organization which has destroyed American families and poisoned our communities. In the Oval Office, President Trump was asked about Elon possibly scaling back his role in the government. The president said he's an incredible guy, a brilliant guy, a wonderful person, a great patriot, a tremendous help. He saved $200 billion in rising fast. He didn't need to do this. And I told him, whenever you're ready. I heard him say he'll start easing at some point. We'll have to let him go and do that. I'll talk to Elon about it. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next.
