Current Events and News Highlights

Hosted by Mike Slater [00:40 - 03:27]

Mike Slater opens the news segment by addressing several key developments in America:

1. Legislative Battles Over Medicaid and Immigration:

   • Republican Senate Dynamics: Slater discusses the tension within the Republican Senate as senators voice opposition to the Senate parliamentarian's decision to exclude provisions from a comprehensive bill that would prevent illegal aliens from accessing Medicaid. Despite leaders like John Th and Tommy Tuberville advocating for modifications, the parliamentarian's rulings have stalled efforts to tighten Medicaid eligibility.
     • Tommy Tuberville from Alabama states, “[the parliamentarian] has gotta go. She’s a perfect example of why Americans hate the swamp. Unelected bureaucrats think they know better than U.S. congressmen who are elected by the people” (02:10).

2. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Reports on Illegal Aliens:

   • Sanctuary Cities Spotlight: The DHS has released a list of illegal aliens arrested in Los Angeles, highlighting individuals with serious criminal backgrounds, including:
     • A Cuban male arrested for multiple violent crimes.
     • A Mexican MS-13 gang member convicted of sexual assault with a deadly weapon.
     • An Egyptian man deported after assaulting a border patrol beagle.
   • Federal Legal Actions: The Trump administration is actively suing states like Minnesota and Kentucky to block educational benefits extended to illegal aliens, arguing that such policies unfairly disadvantage American students.

3. Economic Developments and Manufacturing Shifts:

   • General Electric’s (GE) Investment in American Manufacturing:
     • GE is relocating its washing machine production from China to Louisville, Kentucky, committing $490 million and creating 800 new jobs. The CEO emphasized the importance of proximity to consumers as part of their "zero distance business strategy."
     • Similarly, GE Aerospace plans to invest nearly $1 billion in American manufacturing and hire 5,000 new workers.

4. Labor Market Data:

   • Job Market Growth: In May alone, the U.S. saw an addition of 139,000 workers to payrolls, indicating robust employment growth.

5. Meteor Event Across the Southeast:

   • Fireballs and Sonic Booms: Residents in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee witnessed fireballs streaking across the sky. The National Weather Service attributed the resulting earthquake-like vibrations to sonic booms from meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere.

Message of the Day

Presented by Bill O’Reilly [03:59 - 07:58]

In his message of the day, Bill O'Reilly emphasizes the importance of journalistic integrity and impartiality:

• Emotional Detachment in Reporting:

  • “Reporters and news analysts should not become emotionally involved with stories or the people that are involved with those stories.” (04:05)
  • Using President Trump as an example, Bill asserts the necessity of covering public figures based on their actions rather than personal feelings. He notes Trump's use of rhetoric and social media as tactical tools, making his statements volatile and ever-changing.

• Analysis of President Trump’s Leadership:

  • Bill praises Trump’s approach to national security and the economy, stating, “In my opinion, [Trump] is doing the right thing on national security. The economy is defined. Woke is on the run, which is a good thing.” (04:45)
  • He describes Trump as a high-stakes gambler whose unconventional methods could either strengthen or challenge America’s standing.

• Comparison with Global Leaders:

  • Drawing parallels with figures like Vladimir Putin, Bill underscores the ruthless nature of powerful leaders: “Putin will actually poison you if you get out of line.” (05:10)

• Commitment to Fair Reporting:

  • Bill reassures listeners of his commitment to unbiased analysis: “I never took it personally (when Trump was frustrated with me). I simply analyze what he does, not what he says.” (05:30)

Listener Questions and Responses

1. Korean War and Nuclear Threats:

   • Perry Capitani asks about the oversight in U.S. forces' inability to destroy access roads to nuclear facilities in Israel. Bill responds cautiously, admitting a lack of detailed knowledge: “With all due respect, how do you know? We don’t know.” (07:10)

2. Impact of a Nuclear Attack on the U.S.:

   • Matt Hanson in Midvale, Utah, inquires about the consequences of a nuke being fired from Iran. Bill explains the devastating economic and geopolitical repercussions: “Any kind of nuke or wide war is going to disrupt the whole worldwide economy and you're going to pay a lot more for everything.” (07:30)

3. President Trump’s Criticism of Fed Chief Jerome Powell:

   • Phil Porpora from Lake Bluff, Illinois, questions why Trump is critical of Fed Chief Jerome Powell. Bill clarifies Powell's independence: “Fed is totally independent. It’s not a government agency; can't fire him.” (07:50)

Historical Insight: The Korean War

Presented by Bill O’Reilly [08:28 - 09:58]

Bill O'Reilly delves into the historical context of the Korean War, providing listeners with a comprehensive overview:

• Origins of the Conflict:

  • Post-World War II, the Korean Peninsula was divided between Soviet-controlled North Korea and American-controlled South Korea. The failure of North Korea to honor democratic elections led to the establishment of the Korean People's Republic, solidifying a Marxist state in the North.

• Escalation into War:

  • On June 25, 1950, 100,000 North Korean troops invaded South Korea, prompting President Harry Truman to commit U.S. forces to counter the aggression.

• International Involvement:

  • The conflict nearly triggered a global war with the entry of Chinese soldiers in support of North Korea in 1951. This escalation led to severe military strategies, including General Douglas MacArthur’s proposal to use nuclear weapons against China—a move that ultimately led to MacArthur’s dismissal by Truman for insubordination.

• Human and Material Costs:

  • The war resulted in 3 million civilian deaths, 800,000 North Korean casualties, and 40,000 American lives lost, with an additional 100,000 wounded.

• Ongoing Conflict:

  • Notably, the Korean War remains technically unresolved as North and South Korea have not signed a formal peace treaty since the ceasefire in July 1953.

Historical Narrator [09:34 - 09:58]: A narrator underscores the gravity of the Korean War, emphasizing the communist threat and the global implications of the conflict: “This attack has made it clear beyond all doubt that the international communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations.”
