I. Mike Slater’s News Segment

Mike Slater opens the episode with a rundown of the critical events shaping America on June 11, 2025.

A. Donald Trump’s Military Parade Announcement

Mike reports on former President Donald Trump’s speech at the 250th anniversary ceremony of the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg. Trump emphasizes his commitment to national security and condemns the unrest in Los Angeles:

“Generations of army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third world lawlessness here at home.” (00:39)

B. Deployment of National Guard to Los Angeles

In response to escalating riots targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, the Trump administration has deployed armed National Guard troops to Los Angeles. These troops are providing operational security to ICE without making arrests themselves. Additionally, approximately 150 Border Patrol agents have been reassigned from the southern border regions of California and Arizona to help manage the situation.

C. Planned Military Parade in Washington, D.C.

Trump announces a grand military parade scheduled for the upcoming Saturday in Washington, D.C., promising an unprecedented display of military might:

“It's going to be a parade the likes of which I don't know if we've ever had a parade like this. It's going to be incredible.” (00:55)

The parade will feature:

• 28 Abrams tanks
• 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles
• Eight marching bands
• 24 horses, two mules, and a dog
• Fifty aircraft flying overhead

Trump warns that any protesters attempting to disrupt the parade will face severe repercussions.

D. FBI Identifies Fugitive Suspect in LA Riots

The FBI has identified Elpidio Reina, a 40-year-old resident of Compton, as the suspect seen throwing rocks at ICE vehicles during the riots. With a reward of up to $50,000 for his capture, Republican commentator Dan Bongino urges Reina to surrender:

“Turn yourself in. It's only a matter of time.” (02:15)

E. ABC News Fires Senior Correspondent Terry Moran

ABC News has terminated the employment of Terry Moran, a longtime senior correspondent. The firing follows Moran’s public criticism of Stephen Miller, whom he described as:

“A world-class hater... he is not the brains, it's the bile, and that hatred is his spiritual nourishment.” (02:30)

ABC News responded by reaffirming their commitment to journalistic objectivity and professionalism, distancing themselves from Moran’s partisan remarks.

II. Bill O’Reilly’s Analysis

Transitioning from the news segment, Bill O’Reilly delves deeper into the implications of the Trump administration’s decision to deploy the military in Los Angeles.

A. Political Motivations Behind Military Deployment

O’Reilly posits that the move serves multiple purposes:

• Appeasing the MAGA Base: Reinforcing Trump’s stance on law and order resonates with his core supporters.
• Preventing Legal Accountability: Drawing parallels to the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis (spring 2020), where 520 individuals were charged with serious crimes but all but 26 cases were dismissed, O’Reilly suggests that Trump anticipates a similar lack of legal repercussions in LA.

“President Trump believes the same thing would happen in Los Angeles. Few would be charged.” (04:10)

B. Critique of Liberal Policies on ICE and Law Enforcement

O’Reilly criticizes Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass for blaming the president for the riots rather than holding lawbreakers accountable. He argues that liberal policies aim to dismantle ICE and halt deportation efforts, contributing to ongoing lawlessness.

C. Historical Context: Military Intervention in Civil Unrest

Referencing the 1992 Rodney King riots, where President George H.W. Bush employed the Insurrection Act of 1807 to restore order, O’Reilly underscores the historical precedent for such actions.

“The Insurrection Act of 1807 gives all presidents the power to use the military when local authorities cannot ensure public safety. Like now in LA.” (04:45)

D. Discussion on Senator Johnson’s Fiscal Stance

O’Reilly touches upon Senator Johnson from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, highlighting his rigidity on government spending and his willingness to risk political fallout in the upcoming midterms. He questions whether Johnson prioritizes ideological purity over political pragmatism.

“I believe that Senator Johnson will vote for the bill. I think he knows what your point is, Lee.” (06:00)

E. Debate on the Impact of Trump Tax Cuts

In a conversation with Jim from Baton Rouge, O’Reilly defends the Trump tax cuts, acknowledging that while they stimulate federal revenue, they are insufficient to significantly reduce the national debt:

“I've never ignored it... the tax cuts will stimulate more tax receipts to the federal government. They'll get more money, but nothing like what it's going to take to bring down that $37 trillion debt.” (07:30)

F. Audience Interaction and Further Insights

Listeners contribute questions and comments, with O’Reilly addressing concerns over the portrayal of current events by mainstream media, claiming that "fake news is trying to blow it up" while emphasizing the importance of focusing on substantial issues like ICE operations over distractions such as Elon Musk.

“Fake news is exploiting it, but I don't think they're misreporting it.” (08:00)

III. John Wayne Legacy Segment

In a departure from the political discourse, O’Reilly pays homage to the legendary actor John Wayne on the 46th anniversary of his passing.

A. John Wayne’s Life and Career

Born Marion Robert Morrison in 1907 in rural Iowa, John Wayne moved to Los Angeles in 1916. His rugged good looks and commanding presence led to roles in silent films and eventually made him a Western icon. The moniker "The Duke" became synonymous with his persona.

B. Health Struggles and Final Years

A lifelong smoker, Wayne battled lung cancer, leading to the removal of his left lung and two ribs in 1964. Despite successful surgery, the disease persisted, culminating in his death in 1979 at age 72.

“John Wayne was buried in an unmarked grave... His name was finally added to the tombstone in 1999 at his son's request.” (09:36)

C. John Wayne’s Enduring Legacy

Wayne’s influence extended beyond film into television and country music. His portrayal of characters like Rooster Cogburn in True Grit earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor, solidifying his status as a cultural icon.

“He soon became the biggest star in the world. For the next 50 years, John Wayne dominated film, TV, even country music.” (09:13)

Conclusion

Bill O’Reilly wraps up the episode by reiterating his commitment to providing unfiltered analysis of current events. He encourages listeners to engage with him through his website for further discourse and emphasizes the importance of discerning factual reporting amidst widespread misinformation.

“No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.” (10:51)
