Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. 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 have a photo ID when you go to vote. This leaves Tom Tillis from 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 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 But the EPA has rescinded a 2009 endangerment finding about greenhouse gases.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 after all this time. Reports are servicing that Donald Trump called Palm beach authorities in the year 2006 to warn them about Jeffrey Epstein's conduct. So Trump haters desperately trying to link the president to Epstein's crimes have been dealt a big setback, right? No. CNN and others are spinning it this way. Trump knew what Epstein was doing and didn't act quickly enough. So how would CNN know that? It doesn't say. It just continues to throw out ideological nonsense and preposterous analysis every day. Nothing can be done about press deception because of the First Amendment. However, CNN has lost millions of viewers because of its poor and dishonest reporting. Even on breaking news. It's all speculation all the time over there. The network sent Jake Tapper to Arizona to cover the terrible Guthrie kidnapping. Tapper stood in front of a cactus. It was hard to tell them apart anyway. Very tough these days to get honest analysis. But you knew that President Trump, all of the information indicates, was not associated with Epstein's crimes. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, Bill, at billoriley.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. All right. Let's go to the mail. Edwin Pender, West Haven, Connecticut. Hey, Bill, got to tell you, I'm disappointed that you watched the National Football League and you went to the Super Bowl. You are supporting this controversial stuff by talking about it. Okay, Edwin, My job is to assemble information and give it to you, Edwin. That is my job. We do not do ideology here. This is not an ideological crusade place. You got plenty of those. You don't need another one. So I go to the super bowl, okay. And then I'm doing a story on San Francisco's collapse because I'm there. And then I found out why the devious rabbit was given a halftime show. And Edwin, you did not know that that apple was behind it. You didn't know it because no one knew it until I found out it wasn't hard to find out just because it's me. You know, when I ask somebody something, they usually pony up the information. But again, we are here to gather information. This is not ideology that we're pushing. But I appreciate the letter and you watching it. Would Michael concierge remember? Michael has an advantage in life now. He's got my team behind him. Somebody does something untoward to Michael will help him. Michael says, I'm not sure I'd call a halftime capitalism in a strict sense, I guess it could be. But in this case, it was not consumer demand in a free market. Yeah, Michael, it was. You got 138 million people watching and Apple's going to make a ton of money from downloads with Bad Bunny. They're going to make way more than they invested in the NFL. That is capitalism. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 47 years ago, the dictator of Iran was overthrown by a group of Islamic fundamentalists. Since then, Persia has been ruled by ruthless religious zealots and we are dealing with them right now. But here is the story behind the final days of the Shah. Mohammed Pavlovi rose to power during World War II. In exchange for military support, he gave control of Iranian oil fields to the USA and Great Britain. It remains the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Total value $7 trillion. Muhammad called himself Shah Persian for King of Kings. Educated in Switzerland, the monarch was obsessed with European opulence. He built himself mansions, drove Italian cars, even flew French chefs from Paris to Tehran for dinner parties. His wife, the Empress, had a shoe collection valued at $300,000. Can you believe that? Enraged by the Shah's lavish lifestyle, a group of Islamic extremists slowly gained support. Riots broke out. Despite brutal measures deployed by the secret police, the revolution grew. In January 1979, the Shah and his family fled the country under the guise of a vacation. They never returned. On February 11, the government collapsed. A fundamentalist cleric, Ayatollah Khomeini, returned from exile in France and was anointed the supreme leader. Immediately, the new regime created thousands of so called Islamic committees to enforce Muslim law. Women were ordered to cover their hair. Independent newspapers are banned. American media eliminated completely. Political opponents assassinated. And here's something else you might not know. Today the clerics are even more fanatical than in 1979. Insulting the Prophet, same sex relationships or consuming alcohol can carry a death sentence. Transgender people are considered prostitutes and imprisoned. At least 5,000 Iranians are executed each year. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
