Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Cardboard Khomeini prime minister visit non citizens on welfare, and a March Madness update. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Iran's new supreme leader released a written statement. We have yet to see proof that he's actually alive or conscious. This is his second message, this time confirming the death of the Iranian security chief who was killed by an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday. The message said, the enemies of Islam should know that shedding this blood only makes the mighty tree of the Islamic system stronger. And, of course, every drop of blood has its price, which the murderous killers of these martyrs will soon have to pay. Our secretary of war yesterday at his press conference ended his remarks saying, may almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. And again, to the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ. The new prime minister of Japan visited with the president in the Oval Office yesterday. When asked about how supportive Japan has been in the Iranian war, the president said, we've had tremendous support and relationship with Japan on everything. And I believe that based on statements that were given to us yesterday having to do with Japan, they're really stepping up to the plate. The prime minister, who's the first female prime minister of Japan, said, I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world. And to do so, I'm ready to reach out to many of the partners in the international community to achieve our objective together. The president was asked if we're putting troops on the ground in Iran. He said, no, I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you, but I'm not putting troops. A Japanese reporter asked why we did not inform Japan that we were striking Iran and the president said we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? According to the center for Immigration Studies, nearly half of households headed by immigrants, legal or illegal, living in the United states are on one or more forms of welfare, 47% overall if you include the earned income tax credit. That's 54% of non citizen households on welfare. Only 28% of households headed by native born Americans on welfare. The countries where non citizens come from that use the most welfare Afghanistan 87% on welfare the Dominican Republic 78% Guatemala 77 Honduras 75 Mexico 67%. March Madness kicked off yesterday. Already a bracket Buster. Number 12 seated High Point, taking out number five Wisconsin High Point. Sixteen more games today. Second round starts tomorrow. Eight on Saturday and eight more on Sunday.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. It dawned on me that I really didn't understand Europe when the Swedish pop group ABBA became superstars. What was this? Waterloo? Fernando, Are you kidding me? Bring back the doors. Since then, I've studied the continent, especially after 911 ignited the war on terror. Europe would seem to be a natural ally for the USA in fighting the Islamists. But it's not. President Trump seems to be A bit taken aback by NATO's apathy regarding Iran. On paper, the Europeans should be our partners in dismantling this murderous government. But Germany says, quote, it is not our war and the rest of Europe is not helping America and Israel in the conflict. This is distressing. A few reasons. Anti Semitism very present in Europe, especially amongst the millions of Muslim immigrants there. Many countries in the EU are soft welfare precincts where self involvement, not self sacrifice, rules. And finally, anti American sentiment runs hot in Europe because the controversial President Trump consistently points out the EU's weakness. So Iran catches a break. It's not going to be enough to save the mullahs, but but it's annoying. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com bill@billoreilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now. Let's go to the mail. Matthew on a message board. Matthew is a premium member to bill o'reilly.com he gets a post. NATO has clearly outlived its usefulness for the United States. Individual treaties with countries in Europe. It's better for our interests. Putin would love that. Putin would just love to NATO to dissolve. That would heighten his power. And that is why even though NATO is a pain in the butt, you need it as a bulwark against Putin. William on the message board. Maybe it's time to rethink whether we want to remain in NATO for 80 years. Might be time for Europe to stand on its own. They can't. Or wounds stand on its own. They're weak. They are not a society that's robust over there. I've been to almost every country in Europe. Paul Khan's here is remember, Paul has my crew. If he gets into any trouble, we'll help him out. I think this is a big dig back at Trump for making NATO pay their dues. They don't like Trump. No doubt about it. No doubt. Deborah. Rory, Edwardsburg, Michigan. Realizing America is part of the global market, why can't the bulk of our oil for this emergency with Iran be sold to the American market? Would that completely solve our financial pain? We we're not exporting a lot of oil out of here, Deborah. We got plenty of oil. It's the oil companies raising the prices because they can, not because they have to. They'll make way more money. Now, I'm not going to say they love Iran, but it helps them. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Days ago, a joint American Israeli attack killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Since then, the mission has divided America's closest allies. Here is global reaction to the Iranian situation. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney backing it, saying, quote, canada's position remains clear. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East. Canada supports the United States. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, quote, the United Kingdom played no role in these strikes, but we've been long clear the regime in Iran is abhorrent. You want it Both ways, huh, Mr. Prime Minister, the Spanish government opposes the action. Madrid recalled its ambassador to Israel as a symbolic protest, will not refuel American planes, if you can believe that. Germany also critical, said Chancellor Mers. This is having a massive impact on our energy costs, could also trigger a major migration crisis, wrote French President Macron on Twitter. Quote, the outbreak of war between the United States, Israel and Iran carries grave consequences for international peace and security. Australia, however, does back the USA and is providing intelligence, defensive equipment, military assistance, including naval vessels and radar. The message from China has been kind of muted. The communists have offered their support to the Iranian regime, but it defers to the United Nations. The official response from Beijing, quote, the US Israeli strikes have no UN Security Council authorization and violate international law. The territorial integrity of all states should be fully respected. Hello, does that go into Tibet? Oh, man, bad Vlad. Putin also defended his longtime ally, the Ayatollah. So I think it's safe to say that most of the world is not backing the USA in getting Iran to be a responsible nation. Back in a moment. That is the weekend edition of the O'Reilly Update.
