Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, March 27, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Soldiers missing, minerals deal moving forward, PhD student deported and tariffs going in effect. It's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, four US army soldiers are missing and Lithuania. This is from our secretary of defense. He said four of our brave soldiers from 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division are currently missing in Lithuania. They were conducting scheduled tactical training. Our prayers are with their families, teammates, the entire unit and everyone conducting search operations. Nothing our troops do, whether in combat or in training, is ever routine. We will not rest until our troops are found. The US army said the Hercules armored vehicle that the four US Soldiers were in during the training exercise has been found submerged in a body of water. The Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are all NATO members. They've had difficult relations with Russia since declaring independence in 1990. Speaking of Russia and Ukraine, the president of Ukraine Zelensky said that the Trump administration has proposed a new version of a deal for developing Ukraine's extensive mineral deposits to help repay its war debts, finance reconstruction and enhance security. Zelensky said the new proposal is large and comprehensive. Add a third to the list. Now we know that a Columbia University graduate student was deported for his support of Hamas and leading protests in New York City last year. Also a professor at the also Ivy League school Brown University, was not allowed back into the country when her plane landed in Boston and deported to Lebanon after she was returning from Lebanon, where she admitted to attending the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Well, latest example is a Tufts University PhD student on a visa was arrested by immigration authorities. She's from Turkey. The president of Tufts said the university had no pre knowledge of this incident and did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event. Representative Ayanna Pressley called the arrest a horrifying violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech. The attorney general of Massachusetts said this is not public safety. It's intimidation and will and should be closely scrutinized in court. None of these three people were citizens, just to be clear, citizens of America. Trump said that the 25% tariff on all imported cars will go into effect on April 2. This will apply to all finished cars and trucks shipped into the country, including American brands that are manufactured overseas. And this applies to every country. The same doesn't matter. Canada or Mexico, meaning if we have other free trade agreements, Trump said anybody who has plants in the United States, it's gonna be good for him. Called this very exciting. This tariff reportedly also applies to imported car parts. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day next.

Like a bull in the china shop, Donald Trump came in to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. but with his bold reform and rejuvenation agenda comes so many legal questions. Nationwide injunctions, are they constitutional? What's the deal with birthright citizenship? What about the administrative state? Can he actually clean the deep state and end the politicization of the federal bureaucracy? I'm Josh Hammer, host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on on this Thursday, watching the Democratic senators rough up the Trump intel people reinforces the perils of our divided country. Yes, if the Biden administration had screwed up an important security meeting, as the Trumpers did on March 15, GOP sharks absolutely would have done the same thing. Pound home the embarrassment. That's national politics these days, but I don't have to like it. Also, hearing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer try to save his own butt by saying he'll oppose everything President Trump does isn't loyal opposition, it's subversive. Putting partisanship aside, you are a moron if you oppose eliminating wasteful spending, a ceasefire in Ukraine, regaining control of the border. That's a destructive point of view to oppose those things, Chuck, especially when you cheered on Joe Biden's damaging policies. I mean, you don't have to love Trump's style, but the man is trying to mitigate several fiscal and security problems that Biden allowed 36 trillion in debt, 12 million foreign nationals admitted, hundreds of thousands dead from Mexican narcotics. Where were you on those things, Chuck? Nowhere, man. To quote the Beatles. Yes, the Trump team screwed up the Hooty terrorist meeting. I'm not happy about it. The Democrats are. They shouldn't be. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com, name in town if you wish to opine. Okay. YouTube. We want you to go on our channel. It's free. YouTube.com billorilly we got Bernie Sanders. I analyze he's a communist. And what he's doing, you'll like it. Go to the mail. Let's go to Todd Marsteller, York, Pennsylvania. Bill, thank you for all you do. I'm simply finding it hard to believe the Atlantic leak story wasn't set up by someone inside the Trump administration to sabotage the president. We don't do conspiracies here, Todd. I mean, look, I know people live in that world. That's not where we live. No evidence to show that. Thomas CONCIERGE member Thank you, Thomas. Why is Goldberg's number in the phone of any senior official of the Trump administration? We need to find that out. Absolutely need to find that out. That's a key question. Aman CONCIERGE Member thank you. Fact that Goldberg is a Trump hater is no excuse and there's no room for error. Isn't anyone in charge of vetting attendance at these meetings? Apparently, no. So it better be in the future. This would if this happens again, and I don't think it will, it'll be unbelievable. Meg Hornbeck, Chambly, Georgia. Just watch your interview with Tom Holman. Excellent questions, clear and concise. I didn't know that Homan worked for Obama at one time. Comes across as an honest, hard working guy. Okay, I'm going to agree with all that. I think Tom Homan is a good public servant. Scott Phillips, Buffalo, N.Y. question about removing illegal aliens, criminal or not, they are all criminals by definition. They broke the law just by entering a country. They should all be removed. That's not going to happen. And I said that even before the election. You can't do it because some undocumented migrants are here on asylum claims that have to be adjudicated. That's a big, a big portion. That's who Biden let in like crazy. And others are dreamers. Their parents brought them here and that has to be adjudicated, too. You can't just sweep and throw them out. That'll never happen. In a moment, something you might not.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 52 years ago today Actor Marlon Brando won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Don Corleone in the Godfather. The Oscar resurrected a career that had been sidelined by booze, erratic behavior, and Brando's general weirdness. Here is the story. Born 1924 in Omaha, Nebraska, young Marlon began his acting career on Broadway. He moved to LA after World War II, appearing in minor roles. Then he became a star for his performance in the 1954 film on the Waterfront. For the next five years, Marlon Brando was the highest paid actor in the world. By the 1960s, his career began to suffer from erratic behavior. He walked off sets, quit in the middle of filming, demanded more money after contracts had been signed. During one shoot, Brando nearly got involved with a violent brawl with Frank Sinatra. Marlon Brando then became a Hollywood pariah. All of that changed in 1971 when director Francis Ford Coppola insisted Paramount Studios hire Brando to play the Don in the Godfather. His portrayal of Mr. Corleone would become one of the most iconic characters in entertainment history. I want you to rest well, and a month from now, this Hollywood big shot's gonna give you what you want.

I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. Well, LaRue resurrected Brando's career. He appeared in several blockbusters before dying from lung disease in 2004 at the age of 80. And here's something else you might not know. One of the Godfather's most memorable scenes was completely improvised. A stray cat kept appearing on the set. Instead of dispatching the feline, Marlon Brando incorporated the kitten into the plot. The image of Don Corleone cradling the cat remains an iconic moment in film history. Back in a moment.

Hey, I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. We have a very simple mission. We take the news of the day and we filter it through a biblical worldview. So here's the big story of the day. What does the Bible say about it, and how can we apply it to amazing? There's nothing new under the sun. The Bible has something to say about everything that's going on today. So basically, we thumped the Bible over on Politics by Faith. I think we ought to keep MAGA going. And I think the way to take it beyond just a political victory into a true rebuilding and awakening and revival in America is to make sure that this is all grounded in biblical principles. And that's what we do on the podcast Politics by Faith. And you can subscribe to Politics by faith, wherever you're listening to the show right now.
