Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, June 23, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. East Room address. First use ever impeachable offense and would be murder neutralized. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message. The day of the 1st. President Trump spoke from the East Room of the White House on Saturday night, I believe, for the first time ever, flanked by other people, quite the show of strength. JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, the vice president, secretary of state, defense secretary, all standing behind the commander in chief. The president said, for years Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They've been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs. The roadside bombs, that was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle east and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. He went on to say, this cannot continue. There will either be peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. Trump ended his East Room address saying, I want to thank everybody and in particular, go God. I wanted to say we love you, God, and we love our great military. According to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Operation Midnight Hammer, a group of B2 bombers flew west over the Pacific, but that was a decoy. The actual B2 bombers used in the attack flew out of Missouri east seven B2 bombers, an 18 hour flight just to get there. The first B2 bombers dropped two of these 30,000 pound bombs that are able to penetrate 200ft underground. And then within 25 minutes, 12 more MOPS were dropped on targets at three nuclear sites. It's the first time this weapon's ever been used in combat. Also, a US Submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles into Iran as well. More than 125American aircraft participated in this mission. The B2 bombers, fighter jets, refueling planes, surveillance aircraft. More than 75 precision guided weapons were used and not a single shot was fired at Americans. AOC said Trump should be impeached for this strike in Iran. The president's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and congressional war powers. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment. In other news, at a church in a Detroit suburb of Wayne, a suspect drove his truck into a church and opened fire. He was shot and killed by a security guard in the church. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Message of the day on this Monday, the Iran situation is causing the exposition of the American isolation movement. Fascinating movement and some big names are in it. Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, a bunch of left wing congresspeople. They don't want to have anything to do with conflicts overseas. Now the long history of this here may remember that in the Revolutionary War, 50% of the colonists did not want to rebel against the king. They're fine. Hey, we don't want anything new. And then in the run up to the Civil War, the worst president of all time, James Buchanan, allowed the south to rise in ferocity. Disobey laws, create chaos. Buchanan did nothing. Then In World War II, the British appeased Adolf Hitler. And after the war was winding down, President Roosevelt gave Stalin everything he wanted. That resulted in World War II and the Cold War. Now, we have a recent history of Vietnam and Iraq. Those wars were not fought effectively for America, so the isolationists can point to that. But in today's modern world, you can't go it alone. Countries are tied together with trade and with security. And that is a truth. If you're an isolationist, you're on the wrong Track. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com billorilly.com name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Wayne Washington, I agree with you, Bill, and trust you to provide accurate reporting. I do not trust many on social media. Sadly, I now filter most information through artificial intelligence to see where I'm being misled. I do, too. I use AI But I always confirm it. But it's a smart play. You can't just believe what you read on the net. Maurice Concierge member Maurice if he gets in trouble, my crew will go to his aid. That's on billow. Reilly.com concierge member will enhance your life. It's the least expensive insurance policy you will ever see. Maurice It's a real shame. As I age, I trust others less sad reality of what our society has become because you're smarter. That's what happens. And you have life experience. Heidi Concierge Remember, trusting the Internet and even AI is also subject to lies and false advertising. Be careful. Everyone looks like the real thing, but it's not. Caution, Heidi. You're absolutely right. Caution, caution, caution. You know, we go through a laborious process here to make sure what we tell you is true. And I get so much mail. Is this true? It's that true. And I can't do it all. I just don't have time to do it all. Some of it's really loopy. It's way out there, the stuff that they're putting forth. Russ Chipola, San Jose, California. I wasn't aware of all the merchandise being sold by the Trump family. I agree it was far less bad than Hunter Biden and the Biden family. But I remember Billy Gate, President Carter's brother, selling beer. As I said, most of them do it. I'm not justifying bad behavior. You can make the call. Okay. The president doesn't have any direct line. His sons run the company. But you make the call in a moment, something you might not know.

Bill O'Reilly
Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 137 years ago today, a Black abolitionist received one vote at the Republican National Convention to be president. That lone ballot made him the first African American to be considered for the nation's highest office. Here is the story of Frederick Douglass. Young Fred was born into slavery. 1838. He fled Maryland for New York City with forged papers and a sailor's uniform. Wrote Frederick upon his arrival in Manhattan, quote, I felt as one might feel upon escape from a den of hungry lions, unquote. Once free, Douglass dedicated his life to the abolishment of slavery. He traveled around the country speaking of his experience in bondage. Frederick Douglass published three autobiographies dealing with the horrors of his childhood. To avoid capture from bounty hunters, Douglass and his family moved overseas, but returned to the USA in 1847. Back in America, the former slave published newspapers arguing for emancipation, the right to vote, and female liberation. On June 23, 1888, Douglas received one vote at the Republican convention in Chicago, the first time in US History a black man was considered for president. The choice ultimately went to Benjamin Harrison, who was elected to the White House five months later. It was not Frederick's first nomination. He was also considered for Vice president at the Equal rights party convention 15 years earlier. Frederick Douglass died from a sudden heart attack in 1895. He was 77. And here's something else you might not know later in life. Douglass forgave his captors. In 1877, he met with Thomas Auld, his former owner, as Auld lay dying in Baltimore. Now, remember, Frederick Douglass was brutalized by this man on a Maryland plantation. But Douglass had the decency and the compassion to reconcile with his old slave master in the man's last moments. An extraordinary example of compassion and forgiveness. Back after this.
