Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, June 9, 2025. Here's happening today in America. Troops to LA. Newsom's tax evasion threat reporter suspended and or, well, vindicated. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles. This after ICE engaged in two raids, one at a building in the garment district in LA, which happens to be a place where back in 2021, the owner was sentenced to prison for customs violations, tax fraud and money laundering. And another ICE operation at a Home Depot. As these raids were going on, word spread. More protesters and soon rioters made to the streets. Now more and more protesters taken over the streets, literally taking over the one on one freeway. The president said if Governor Gavin Newscomb of California and Mayor Karen Bass of LA can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the federal government will step in and solve the problem. Riots and looters the way it should be solved, Trump said to the national media in person. He said we're going to have troops everywhere. We are not going to let this happen to our country. Gavin Newsom, who has formally requested the Trump administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in LA county and return them to my command. By the way, ICE released a list of people they arrested this weekend, like in the raids, like the purpose of the raids. One was a citizen of Peru, convicted robbery and a 10 year prison sentence. Someone was from Indonesia previously arrested for narcotics. A citizen of Honduras arrested for cocaine and domestic violence. A guy from the Philippines arrested for second degree murder. All these guys back on the streets. Another guy from the Philippines was previously arrested for burglary and rape. These are the guys that ICE got off the streets. This is what other people in LA are upset about anyway. Gavin Newsom said that California pays $80 billion more in taxes to the feds than they get back. Maybe it's time to cut that off. Well, the secretary of the treasury wrote that Gavin Newsom is threatening to commit criminal tax evasion and his comments are extremely reckless. ABC News has suspended Terry Moran, their senior national correspondent, after a post he made on X. This is the guy who did the Trump 100 days interview from the Oval Office. He wrote on X. The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he's the brains behind Trumpism. It's not the brains, it's the bile Miller is a man who's richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world class hater. The 75th anniversary of George Orwell's 1984 has been released and one of the introduction essays by Dolan Perkins Valdez issues a trigger warning for anyone who may read the book that the protagonist is problematic and readers may find his views on women, quote, despicable. A trigger warning for 1984. Don't buy the new edition. Get yourself a used copy ASAP. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith, Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Monday. One of the very interesting things that happened to me in Beijing recently was the radical Communist politburo asking me why the city of San Francisco has fallen apart. So you might ask, why do they care? Well, many Chinese nationals have relatives living in San Francisco. Now. The reason that city has deteriorated is willful ignorance. You've heard that expression, so you can't even have children walk the streets without them seeing gross conduct by adults and the city fathers, the police don't stop that conduct. Now, there are many reasons for willful laziness, apathy, narcissism, never admitting you make a mistake, crazy ideology which is in play in San Francisco. So the Chinese can't understand any of that. If you have a problem, you confront the problem. You don't let a major city like San Francisco dissolve into chaos. And that is exactly what has happened. So I had no answer for the communists. I just said I'm lucky I don't live there. And then I threw in a dig because we can live anywhere we want in the USA. 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 now, let's go to the mail. Keith McNeil, East Jordan, Michigan. I have to point out that that on those men, news of 6, 4, 2025, that would be yesterday you were saying that China should help reign in Iran's nuclear ambitions. I remind you that China did nothing to stop North Korea's nuclear program. China benefits from rogue regimes being belligerent toward the usa. That is true. But if they want to deal with us, they got to help us in these areas. That's it. Deal goes both ways. John Mattson, Hewitt, Texas, current governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill which would prevent Chinese from purchasing U.S. land near U.S. military facilities. An Investigation by your crack staff is appreciated. What? What investigation? Hobbs, a bad governor. She's going to lose. I think that Karen Robeson is going to win. She vetoed the bill, which she shouldn't have vetoed. But more is there, you know, and a lot of the times Chinese buy land through American shell corporations, but gotta keep an eye on it. That's what Homeland Security is there for. Shelley, I don't understand Elon Musk's point of view. And it bothers me that he's attacking President Trump. Can you shit any lie on why he did it? No. Now, but I told you that this wasn't going to end well. Trump and Musk, I mean, two very powerful guys. And you know, so now they're yelling at each other about stuff and do I care? No, I don't care at all.

Elon Musk is an American citizen, doesn't like the tax bill, okay, it's entitled to his opinion. What do I care? It's up to the senators and congresspeople to pass it. We're not in a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. It has been a dismal decade for America's net work News operations. Since 2015, ratings at ABC, CBS and NBC have dropped double digits. Even iconic broadcasts like 60 Minutes are down. 60 lost 15% of its viewers in the last five years. And its battle with Donald Trump will cost them even more eyeballs. According to Pew Research, employment at the network news outlets is down 25%. More than 27,000 jobs have left the industry. Last year, the entire media business consisted of 90,000 full time employees at newspapers, TV networks or online agencies across the country. Situation is even worse at the cable operations. CNN's ratings have dropped 25% since Donald Trump's first term. So why are Americans tuning out? Well, many of them simply don't trust what they see. Recent polls find half the population think the media is biased and it is. 60% of young adults blame so called fake news for their mistrust. Now the networks are facing a new challenge, lawsuits from the White House. In December 2024, ABC News agreed to pay Donald Trump $15 million after George Stepanopoulos of GMA inaccurately asserted that President elect Trump was found guilty of rape. He was not. Trump is currently suing CBS News for $20 billion. President's lawyers assert that Kamala Harris was given favorable treatment by 60 minutes and that was election interference. The White House has filed similar lawsuits against the Washington Post, New York Times CNN and Facebook. And here's something else you might not know. For the first time in half a century, most Americans are no longer getting their news from television. 60% of the population now receives daily information from streaming and social media. For folks under 30, that figure rises to 80%. Back after this. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly Update. I am Bill O'Reilly.
