Bill O'Reilly (4:18)

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Wednesday. It is July 2025, and the next presidential campaign is about three years away. Well, not exactly. It's already in motion. California Governor Gavin Newsom rolled into the early primary state of South Carolina last week, shocking the water moccasins and swamp dwelling gators. Usually this time of year, Newsom would be sipping fine wine in Napa Valley or eating hearty at the sardine factory in Monterey. But no, there's Gavin, savoring the 90% humidity in the Palmetto State. He wasn't there for the pecans, even though he said some very nutty things like Trump's big bill will hurt American kids. Opie Newsom, that bill they just signed, completely saddling our kids and grandkids with trillions and trillions of dollars of debt. Newsom is somewhat of an expert here. When he took over the governorship from Jerry Brown In January 2019, California had a budget surplus of $21 billion. Mr. Brown, a disciple of fiscal responsibility, today The Golden State owes a $12 billion deficit. Math alert. In five and a half years under Gavin Newsom and his crazy left wing cadre, the state has burned through an incredible $33 billion. I wonder what the California kids think about that. Dude, I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine. All right. The mail we got a concierge member named Brent and now Brent has access to me and my gang and we will help Brent anything should befall him. Epstein conspiracy theories have become just another mass psychosis. I like that Brent trying to focus our time and energy on matters of more consequence. Well, you know that's not going to happen because it's a mystery. Jack concierge member on billorilly.com I'm not sure there are any innocent victims in this. Put out the names and let us common folk decide who should get prosecuted. That's mob rule. Jack really want mob rule. You really want the media defining things for you when you know how dishonest the media is. Michael Concierge Member and I don't just pick concierge members. The we read the best letters. Where's the transparency we were promised? That's what bothers people. My theory as I stated previously is that the Democrats are not pushing for the release of the files because Bill Clinton was involved and the Republicans are not releasing the files because Trump may be involved. Clinton I don't know about. Okay, Trump if he were involved under Biden, they certainly would have released that information. Certainly. Remember Biden administration had all of the Epstein files or whatever they are for four years. John Ward Charlotte, North Carolina. Many Trump haters in my life are dear friends and they try to shame me for voting for the man. Well, they're not dear friends then. John, I'm sorry to break it to you, your vote is your privilege. Your right. Anybody trying to shame you, not your friend, you might explain that to them in a moment. Something you might not know.

Bill O'Reilly (8:49)

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 26 years ago today, one of the most charismatic men in America died after his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. His death solidified what many call the Kennedy curse. Here is the story of JFK Jr. The young Kennedy was born November 25, 1960, just a few weeks after his dad was elected president. On his third birthday, the boy attended the funeral of his assassinated father. John remained in the spotlight for the remainder of his life. Famous for his good looks and adventurous spirit, he was frequently seen skiing, surfing or piloting his own aircraft. On the evening of July 16, 1999, John, his wife Carolyn and her sister took off in a small plane from an airfield in New Jersey. The journey to Martha's Vineyard was less than 200 miles. JFK Jr. And his passengers never arrived. On July 21, Navy divers recovered three bodies. The wreckage was discovered under 100ft of water just 8 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. A private memorial was held in New York City two days later. Attendees included President Clinton, 10 sitting U.S. senators and Muhammad Ali. In its final report, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded the crash was caused by an inexperienced pilot, JFK Jr. Who became disoriented in the dark and simply lost control of the plane, flying it right into the ocean. And here's something else you might not know. JFK's demise was another tragedy to befall his troubled family. Since 1944, at least 22 members of the Kennedy clan have suffered premature death. The grim list includes two by assassination, five air crashes, six drug overdoses, multiple suicides, and five automobile accidents, said Senator Ted Kennedy before dying from brain cancer in 2009. Quote, I often wonder if some terrible curse does hang over the Kennedy family. Back after this.
