Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, March 25, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Details on illegal alien, murderer, Iranian minds, American freed and a quadruple amputee in trouble with the law. That's all coming up, and Bill's gonna be with your message of the day. But first, terrible details in the Sheridan Gorman murder by the illegal alien from Venezuela and Chicago. Gorman, who was 18, was with a group of friends on a pier in Loyola park, just a couple blocks from Loyola's campus. Gorman alerted her friends that someone was hiding near the pier. The friends were then chased by the illegal alien, who then opened fire and shot Gorman in her back as she was running away. Gorman's friends were able to duck for cover in a grassy area as he ran to an apartment. Her family said she loved Jesus, her family, her sister Maddie, her lifelong friends and the simple, beautiful moments that made up her life. She had a way of making everyone feel special, seen and loved. To know her was to be changed by her. This illegal alien came to America in May 2023 during the Biden administration, was then arrested a month later in Chicago for shoplifting and released back on the streets because of Chicago's sanctuary city policies. CBS News claiming that according to an alleged US intel assessment, there are around one dozen Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz. It's unclear if this is true, especially considering that Iran told companies that the strait is open to non combatant merchant ships willing to pay $2 million toll to pass. The mines would not discriminate between ships that paid the toll or not. So blowing up a ship that paid the toll would not be good for business. A US Citizen held in Afghanistan for over a year has been freed. Dennis Coyle is 64 years old. He was released after a letter from his family was sent requesting his release on the occasion of Eid al Fitr. It's the end of Ramadan. A court said that his time in prison has been sufficient. He was detained for, quote, violating the applicable laws of Afghanistan, whatever that means. The secretary of State's office said President Trump is committed to ending unjust detention overseas. The Dennis joins over 100Americans who have been freed in the past 15 months under Trump's second term in office. Dayton James Weber is a quadruple amputee who is a cornhole champion. Somehow, and maybe just as curiously, he's also accused of fatally shooting the front seat passenger in his car. Two people were in the backseat. They witnessed the deadly shooting. Weber allegedly asked for help in disposing the body. They refused, got out of the car, left the scene, ultimately flagged down officers who arrested him shortly after. I'm Mike Slater.

Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the Day on this Wednesday. Media deception is beginning to affect every American. Two vivid examples. A new CBS News poll says a majority of adults believe the Iranian military action is not going well. But what is that opinion based on? Can't be the battlefield. The top leadership of Iran has been killed, its Navy and Air force destroyed, its ballistic missile capacity almost completely neutralized. So either the folks don't know anything or they are basing their opinions on rising gas prices, which no one likes. On the airport front, TSA agents are still not being paid because Democrats are demanding that ICE be neutralized. Gems say no money unless judicial warrants are issued before undocumented people are taken into custody. Well, that's impossible, as President Biden allowed about 10 million foreign nationals into the USA unsupervised. There simply aren't enough judges to satisfy the judicial warrant demand. The truth is the Dems don't want immigration enforcement. Did you get any of the above from the corporate media? Bet you didn't. That's deception. 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. There's a male. Fred Smith, Crown Point, Indiana. Hey, Bill, while I don't disagree with you very often, this time I am. For a president of the USA to say he's happy at someone's death is inexcusable. To my knowledge, no president has ever been so crude as to say that. While I don't agree with everything that Mueller did, I think he was an honorable man who spent many years in service to his country. I didn't say what President Trump said was okay. I said I understood it. And probably I would have thought the same thing because Mueller attacked his family. Okay. Andrew Jackson was worse in that area than Donald Trump. Teddy Roosevelt Close. Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy's cousin close. You won't cross these guys. Susan Concierge member Susan gets direct access to me. Although it is not necessary to celebrate the life of someone who was, for all intents and purposes, an enemy, it is necessary to respect a person's life and humanity. That's not nobility. That's common decency. I disagree. I'm not respecting anybody who attacks my family ever. Donald Bill when the price of a barrel of oil goes up, who gets the money? The oil producers and the oil distributors get the money, a lot of money to private industry. Kevin McDaniel, Las Vegas Any deal with Iran should never allow the theocracy to remain in power. Also, post conflict, oil shipments from Iran should include a fee per barrel collected by the usa. So therefore, Kevin, you want this war to continue forever because Iran's not going to agree to that. So it'll just be forever. Cause a worldwide depression. You know, you got to stay in a real world in a moment. Something you might not not know.

now. The O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 39 years ago today, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision. In a 6 to 3 ruling, the justices said organizations can consider race and gender when hiring new employees. Here is the story behind affirmative action in America. The term was first coined by President John F. Kennedy, who believed race and gender hiring decisions were necessary to promote civil rights and reduce the lasting legacy of slavery. The issue divided the nation. Supporters say affirmative action is necessary to correct historical injustices. Critics say it is a direct violation of constitutional rights for equal treatment. In 1978, Paul Johnson, a male worker at the Santa Clara County, California, Transportation Agency, filed a lawsuit after he was passed over for a promotion. Though he scored higher on the test, the position was ultimately given to a female employee. On March 25, 1987, the Supreme Court sided with Santa Clara county and against Mr. Johnson. The justices ruled that race and gender could be considered when hiring, firing, promoting or demoting employees. Nearly four decades later, affirmative action is a part of everyday life in America. Policies designed to increase underrepresented communities are now required in almost every city, corporation and educational institution in the usa. And here's something else you might not know. A backlash against these policies is now growing. In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that race based admission at Harvard University were direct violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Regardless, many colleges continue to make race a factor in their admission process. Today, the public remains mostly split on the issue. According to a poll from Pew, 36% think affirmative action is a good thing, 29% a bad thing 33% have no opinion at all. Back in a moment.
