Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Another shutdown, steel production up, Olympics next week and a major documentary premiere. It's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block a package of six funding bills that would fund large portions of the government until September, meaning we could have a partial government shutdown. The debate is going to be centered around homeland security, but ICE is funded in the one big beautiful bill. Alas, the Democrats are demanding an end to roving patrols, ensuring that federal agents are held to the same use of force policies that apply to state and local law enforcement and preventing agents from wearing masks and requiring body cameras. Republicans need the support of at least seven Democrats in the Senate to avert this shutdown. Steel production in the United States has surpassed Japan's production for the first time in 26 years. We are now the world's third largest steel producers, still ranking behind China and India. But our crude steel Production was up 3.1% last year to 82 million tons. It's the first rise in two years. We got a bronze medal in steel production, but we're going to win a lot of gold coming up next week. Very excited for the Olympics. Starting next week, 98 athletes will be there for the first time. Seven are in their fifth appearance for Team USA. 84 members of Team USA are current or former NCAA athletes. That's 36% of the roster. And the colleges that are Most represented, Minnesota, seven athletes in Boston College with six. The youngest member of Team USA is Abby Winterberger. She's a 15 year old free skier. Colorado is the state that most athletes call home. 32, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. Throw that in the mix, you got 50% of our roster right there. Opening ceremonies are next Friday in Italy. Now we got some work to do. The country with the all time most medals in Winter Olympics is Norway. They have 406. We're number two with 330. Germany's behind us. 267. Now next Sunday got the super bowl as well. NBC is going to carry Olympics in the morning, then super bowl at night and then back to the Olympics. And all of it's going to be broadcast in 4K for the first time ever. Melania Trump has a new documentary that comes out today. The film is released on 1,500 screens across the country. It focuses on the 20 days leading up to the inauguration. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, the directed by the director of the Rush Hour movies, Last Stand and the Family Man. The media's been saying for weeks it's gonna be a huge flop. But even Deadline, far left Deadline admitted yesterday that this could be the highest box office for a documentary in over a decade. Stick it to the left. Go see Melania. I'm Mike Slater. From the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Thursday, it may be unfair of me to criticize Trump administration people like Cash Patel. I am urging the FBI director to hold a press conference in order to update the American people on exactly what the FBI is investigating in the ICE Minnesota debacle. Obviously, there's much to clarify here with a state insurrection that has led to two people being killed. The truth is that Mr. Patel has to get permission to do that from President Trump. He can't unilaterally decide to meet the press. That's because Donald Trump was burned so badly by Washington people in his first term, he now runs a top down operation. All decisions come from the White House. Franklin Delano Roosevelt did the same thing for 13 years. He and a few cohorts made all the calls. FDR even wanted to sidestep the Supreme Court. Congress blocked him. But he would have done was amusing in a horrible way to see President Biden the master of befuddlement. Blame Trump yesterday for the Minnesota chaos. Come on, Joe. You caused it with your amazingly irresponsible open border policy and now the nation suffers. The truth is it is up to Mr. Trump himself to get this thing under control and I believe he'll do it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billo reilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Norman, why can't the FBI or Homeland Security roundup big time funders of insurrection like Singham and Flores, throw them in jail, round up anybody kind of evidence. Now we're pushing for very aggressive investigation. Can't round them up. You can. And China. I'm on. Bill, I assume that nothing can be done against Neville Roy Singham as he conveniently pulls the strings from China. But can anything be done about the US Outfits which use funds to foster violence? Of course, conspiracy. That's what the FBI has got to prove. Got to go in and get all these people. Should go down. All of them. Charlotte, can the news media be sued for lying? No, they can lie their butts off. They have protections in that area. If they lie about you, Charlotte, and defame you and you get hurt, you can sue them big time. Steve, concierge. Remember, Steve's life is now better because he's under our protection. That's what concierge membership is, right? Bill O'Reilly.com check it out. It's an insurance policy and not expensive. Get a signed book by me if you sign up. Steve says thanks for starting to get the heart of these radical anarchist movements. I know you hate cliches, but you can't deny the validity of follow the money. There's a lot of money going into Minneapolis to disrupt, and that has led to death. No doubt about it. Stephen Hollick, Wanake, N.J. you said Neville Roy Singham is funding the rebellion of Minnesota. So the Chinese bosses must know what he's doing. The US Is China's latest largest trading partner. So why they wanted to stabilize us because they want to be the world's most dominant power. That's what it is. Putin will never be the world's most dominant power, but China might be. They want to weaken us in a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 81 years ago, Soviet troops liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in southern Poland. Of the 1 million people dispatched to that complex, just a few thousand survived. Here is the story. On January 27, 1945, a band of Russian soldiers discovered the gates of what they thought was an abandoned factory. They soon found 50,000 pairs of shoes, 10 foot piles of human hair, hundreds of oil drums filled with gold teeth, reading glasses. Cautiously, 7,000 survivors inside the camp emerged. They had been abandoned without food, water and heat for nearly three weeks. Prisoners included Hitler's political enemies, Communists, homosexuals, mentally disabled, but mostly Jewish people. The average life expectancy at auschwitz less than 11 days. If you were over 50, about an hour. The liberation exposed the world to the horrors of the Holocaust. At its height, the Third Reich operated 42,000 confinement ghettos and concentration camps. The network spanned from France to Russia, jailing more than 1 million innocent people. At any given time, between 15 to 20 million human beings were murdered or imprisoned at these sites, the largest crime in human history. And here's something else you might not know. During the liberation of Auschwitz and other death camps, survivors spontaneously began singing Havtikvava, a 19th century poem about the Jewish people's eventual return to Jerusalem. The title in Hebrew means the hope. Today the song is the national anthem for the state of Israel. The Holocaust is not to be denied, and any human being who does that should be condemned. This is not a debatable issue. For more facts about the horrors of Hitler's Third Reich, please check out my best selling books, killing Patton, Killing the SS and Confronting Evil. Back in a moment.
