Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, February 13, 2020. Wait, hold on. Friday the 13th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Almost to 50 calls to indict start, stop button killed an Olympics update. It's all coming up then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, your Save Act. Latest, we now have at this moment, 49 co sponsors of the bill. The SAVE act again requires you to show proof of citizenship when you register to vote and half a photo ID when you go to vote. This leaves Tom Tillis in North Carolina, who has said good things about the bill Lisa Murkowski, who's A no Mitch McConnell who just got out of the hospital after being there for eight days. He got out of the hospital on Tuesday. And Susan Collins from Maine. Every other Republican is a yes. So we just need one from that list to get to 50. And then the Republicans need to be united on a standing filibuster. Force the Democrats to talk for a long time, as long as they can talk. The longest ever is 60 days. But the Republicans would all have to be there. Otherwise, the Democrats can do some parliamentary shenanigans and kill the bill. Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri is calling for the indictment of the Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over accusations that he accepted campaign contributions from Somali fraudsters for helping them evade investigation by state and federal officials. This happened during a Senate Homeland Security hearing yesterday. The New York Post published accusations last year that Ellison accepted campaign contributions from Somalis who were involved in the Feeding Our Future scandal where $9 billion in taxpayer money was stolen under the guise of feeding needy children. Ellison accepted several $2,500 campaign donations from the Somali fraudsters. Hawley said, you helped fraudsters defraud your state and you got a fat campaign contribution out of it. You ought to be indicted. Today's press conference by Lee Zeldin, the head of the epa, was years in the making of behind the scenes work. But the EPA has rescinded a 2009 endangerment finding about greenhouse gases. So for the last 16 years, the EPA has been operating based on the conclusion that five greenhouse gases are causing global warming. This regulation has made it harder for America to build power plants, manufacturing facilities and a force car manufacturers to put that start, stop, engine switch in your car. All that is now done. The New York Times says that Trump allies are near a total victory in wiping out US Climate regulations. Thank goodness Olympics latest, we got a bronze in the women's 10 kilometer cross country skiing, silver in women's half pipe snowboarding. Our American girl won the last two Olympics, got the silver this time. And men's hockey handled Latvia yesterday five to one. The next men's hockey game is this Saturday against Denmark. Winner gets Greenland and loser gets Minnesota. Meadow count right Now Italy has 17 overall and Norway and America both with 14. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Friday. According to the Bible, deceivers will be punished harshly on Judgment Day. And since we live in a time of sophisticated propaganda as well as outright lies, the deity is going to be very busy. You may have heard or read in the leftist media that ICE has detained very few violent migrants. The Democrats insist that most of those rounded up are friends and neighbors. So Homeland Security is abusing its authority. Millions of Americans are buying that. Well, here's the truth. Under the classification of non violent crimes are selling hard drugs like fentanyl, heroin and cocaine, selling child pornography, abusing a child, trafficking a minor into prostitution, all nonviolent, all theft, no matter how serious, all fraud like the billions stolen in Minnesota by Somali foreign nationals, DWI offenses, even if injuries are involved. The list goes on and on. So what should we think of people who use the 14% number knowing it's misleading in the extreme? Undocumented migrant criminals should be given a pass for so called nonviolent offenses. They should be left alone. Come on. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billoriley.com bill@billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. We got Sherry on the message board. I tune into Good Morning America occasionally, see what kind of spin they're putting out. ABC was spinning the Epstein news the same as cnn. Trump knew Epstein was doing illegal things well before he reported to Florida. Sure, the media is a joke. Thank you for fighting. Good fight, Bill. Look, we knew that was going to happen just as we knew that Walls as soon as Homan said job is done here, we're going to come out well. Oh yeah, we win. We know. Okay. But the networks do that and they will never stop pushing the left wing liberal line ever. Over Joey. I'm still a Trump supporter, but one of the main campaign promises was to release the Epstein files. That along with ending the Ukraine war quickly, border control and bringing prices down on groceries he has only accomplished one of those promises. Okay, you can debate that. But number one, there's more than 3 million pieces of paper accumulated by the Justice Department about the Epstein case. Trump didn't know that. I didn't know it. Nobody knew it. So they went back and back and back and back and they got 3 million. And I think they released most of it, although I'm not privy to that fact. But I'm not real bothered by that. As far as bringing down price of groceries, some of it has come down. Fuel, of course, has come down. Border is secure. But look, that's your job as a voter, okay? You vote for who's going to be able to to solve the problems you want solved. I have no beef about that. And I'm not in business to defend the Trump administration. It's not what we do here. We're in business to watch it and report fairly on it. In a moment, something you might not know. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. But Valentine's Day just a few hours away, Millions of Americans will celebrate significant others with cards, candy and gifts. While the holiday is commonly associated with Cupid, its origin goes back centuries. It all began with an ancient Roman ritual for fertility. The bizarre event was called the Celebration of the Wolf. Towns across the Roman Empire picked a day in early spring when young woman would be covered with animal pelts and then married to random men by a lottery. In the 5th century, the Pope replaced the pagan festival with a day honoring St. Valentine. Valentine was an Italian priest. He married young couples in secret after the Roman authorities outlawed matrimony for members of the army. Once discovered, the bishop was dragged before Emperor Claudius the Cruel and quickly beheaded. Today, St. Valentine's Day is celebrated by lovers all over the world. The average American spends about $200 on dinner, candy and flowers. In Japan, women give boxes of sweets to objects of their affection. If interested, men can return that favor exactly 30 days later. The tradition, called the one month ceremony, dates back more than 2,000 years. In Japan, Scandinavians read poems. Folks in Wales exchange wooden spoons. South Africans pin the names of their partners on their sleeves. Officials in the Philippines dispense free marriage certificates. In Germany, Wait for it. Pigs are considered lucky animals. So couples give glass figurines of swine and hogs to each other. Wow. And here's something else you might not know. Back in the USA, roughly 10 million Americans will take a knee on Valentine's Day. Not to protest, but to pop the question. It's the biggest proposal day of the year. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
