1. Deportation Update and Immigration Enforcement

Speaker: Mike Slater

Mike Slater opens the episode with a comprehensive update on immigration enforcement in the United States. He highlights the intensive efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the past 50 days, detailing significant arrest statistics:

• Total Arrests: Over 32,000 illegal aliens.
• Convicted Criminals: 14,000.
• Individuals with Pending Criminal Charges: 9,800.
• Suspected Gang Members: 1,155.
• Foreign Fugitives: 44.

Notable Quote:
"If you don't hand people over to ICE when they're in prison, then we're going to go into neighborhoods and we may get other people in the process."
— Homan, ICE Director [02:15]

Slater discusses the concept of "immigration violators" or "collateral damage," referring to individuals who are not primary targets but are caught in broader enforcement actions. He emphasizes the shift in ICE's culture towards greater action and accountability, as stated by the acting ICE director:

“Secretary Noem and I are changing the culture of ICE to one of action and accountability.”
— Acting ICE Director [02:35]

2. Government Shutdown and Funding Resolution

Speaker: Mike Slater

The discussion moves to the impending government shutdown. The House has voted for a continuing resolution to fund the government until September. However, the Senate faces a hurdle as Democrats hold the necessary votes to block the resolution. With 53 Republicans in the Senate, they require seven Democratic votes to reach the 60-vote threshold for cloture.

Notable Quote:
"Clearly this would be the Democrats' fault. It's a simple continuing resolution. Virtually nothing has changed on government spending from now until September."
— Mike Slater [04:10]

Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia expresses frustration, claiming Democrats are distancing themselves from the bill and seeking opportunities to introduce amendments.

3. Celebrity Relocation: Rosie O’Donnell Moves to Ireland

Speaker: Mike Slater

Slater reports on celebrity Rosie O’Donnell's self-imposed exile to Ireland following Donald Trump's presidential victory. He critiques her choice, noting Ireland's small size relative to the U.S. and its lack of diversity.

Notable Quote:
"Out of all the countries in the world, she chose a country that's the size of Maine, the population of Oregon, and one of the richest countries in all of Europe and not diverse."
— Mike Slater [05:20]

A humorous anecdote is shared where the Irish Prime Minister was unfamiliar with O’Donnell until President Trump highlighted her presence in Ireland.

4. Miracle Survival: Mother Found After Car Accident

Speaker: Mike Slater

A heartwarming story is shared about a 41-year-old mother who survived a severe car accident under harrowing conditions. After her vehicle veered off the road and landed under a bridge, she sustained serious injuries and was trapped with a dead phone. Utilizing her sweatshirt, she managed to create an escape route from her ditch.

Notable Quote:
"She used a sweatshirt that she was able to dip into the water of a ditch and suck out the water. The car crashed on a Thursday. On Tuesday, she said she gave up hope."
— Mike Slater [06:45]

Her rescue occurred three days later by a man working on drainage and excavation, highlighting her resilience and the importance of timely assistance.

5. Message of the Day: Mahmoud Khalil and Immigration Policy

Speaker: Bill O’Reilly

Bill O’Reilly delivers the day’s message, focusing on the case of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student arrested by ICE and facing deportation. O’Reilly criticizes leftist media portrayals, emphasizing Khalil's alleged disruptive activities and his legal residency status.

Notable Quote:
"Receiving credentials to work or study in the USA is a privilege, not a right. And that privilege can be withdrawn if a foreign national indulges in questionable behavior, as Mahmoud Khalil certainly did."
— Bill O’Reilly [08:10]

O’Reilly calls for due process and fair hearings, arguing that cases like Khalil's should be evaluated based on evidence that distinguishes legitimate activism from security threats.

6. Listener Comments and Opinions

Speaker: Bill O’Reilly

Bill engages with listener feedback, addressing concerns about trade deficits, government contracts, intelligence sharing, and the future of the U.S. Postal Service.

  “They pay them. That is a new government department and it is under the control of the president.” [10:05]

• Leslie (Concierge Member): Criticizes the U.S. for sharing intelligence with Great Britain, which is then purportedly passed to Ukraine, labeling numerous media reports as phony.
  “We're not giving Ukraine intelligence anymore. Yeah. Okay, Pipeline.” [10:45]

• Antoine Lombardo (Puerto Rico): Expresses concerns over Puerto Rico’s management and questions President Trump’s intentions to privatize the post office.
  “Puerto Rico's in trouble. Not well run. You know, you guys had a chance there to become a state and you passed.” [11:10]

7. Retrospective on Obama’s Immigration Policies

Speaker: Bill O’Reilly

O’Reilly provides an in-depth analysis of former President Barack Obama’s immigration policies, marking the eleventh anniversary of Obama’s directive to review and humanize U.S. immigration treatment.

Notable Quote:
"In total, Barack Obama's legacy on immigration is mixed. While he shielded some undocumented folks, he did maintain a strong border, deporting millions of undocumented aliens."
— Bill O’Reilly [09:07]

He outlines Obama’s dual approach: increasing deportations while ceasing family separations and improving detention conditions. O’Reilly contrasts this with the subsequent surge in illegal crossings following policy shifts under subsequent administrations.
