No Spin. Just Facts. Always looking out for you.

1. Introduction

Bill O’Reilly opens the weekend edition of "The O’Reilly Update," setting the stage for a comprehensive analysis of the week’s most pressing news stories in America.

2. Mike Slater’s News Segment

a. Elise Stefanik’s Ambassador Nomination Withdrawal

Mike Slater delves into the political maneuvering surrounding Elise Stefanik, who was initially nominated by former President Trump as the Ambassador to the United Nations. Originally, her confirmation hearing was slated for Tuesday and was expected to proceed smoothly. However, Trump decided to unnominate her due to complications in her congressional race. Specifically, the lack of primaries in New York special elections, where 15 county chairs within her district select the nominee, raised concerns about potential vote-splitting with a unified Democratic Party. As a result, "Stefanik will remain the representative for that district" (00:40).

b. Florida Special Election

Two significant special elections are set for Tuesday, with one in Florida replacing Mike Waltz’s congressional seat, as Waltz has assumed the role of national security advisor. Waltz had previously won his seat by a substantial 33-point margin. The Democratic challenger is heavily outspending the Republican candidate, Randy Fine, by a 10 to 1 ratio. Slater warns that even a minor Republican victory could heighten concerns among moderate Republicans regarding support for Trump. He states, "if Randy Fine in a plus 30 district can only win by a few points that election as on Tuesday, Randy Fine [is] open for a major blowout" (02:15).

c. Wisconsin Supreme Court Election

Another pivotal election on Tuesday is for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Conservative candidate Brad Schimmel emphasizes the significance of this race, asserting that a progressive win would lead to redrawing congressional district lines, potentially causing Republicans to lose their majority in the House by the 2026 elections. Schimmel highlights the broader implications of the court's composition on national politics.

d. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Job Cuts

The Department of Health and Human Services has announced a reduction of 10,000 full-time employees, adding to the 10,000 who previously left through buyouts or early retirements. This downsizing brings the total number of HHS employees to 62,000. RFK Jr. justifies the cuts by stating, "we aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic" (04:00).

e. Elon Musk’s Critique on Government Spending and DOGE

Brett Bayer's interview with Elon Musk and DOGE leaders reveals Musk’s frustration with government inefficiency, particularly regarding a $1 billion mishap where a simple online survey should have cost around $10,000 with SurveyMonkey. Musk criticizes the government for wasting resources and cites that "40% of the phone calls to the Social Security Administration are fraudsters" (05:10). He warns that without mission completion, "the ship of America will sink".

3. Bill O’Reilly’s Message of the Day

a. Critique of Democratic Senators and Chuck Schumer

Bill O’Reilly criticizes Democratic senators for undermining Trump’s intelligence personnel, highlighting the deep divisions within the country. He argues that Democratic actions mirror GOP tactics, stating, "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" (04:00).

O’Reilly takes aim at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, accusing him of "not loyal opposition, it's subversive". He lists policy areas where he believes opposition is detrimental, including eliminating wasteful spending, ceasing fire in Ukraine, and regaining border control. O’Reilly asserts, "you are a moron if you oppose eliminating wasteful spending, a ceasefire in Ukraine, regaining control of the border" (06:00). He contrasts Trump's efforts to address fiscal and security issues with Biden’s administration, emphasizing the staggering national debt of $36 trillion and the surge in foreign national admissions under Biden.

b. Audience Interactions and Responses

Bill engages with audience members, addressing their concerns and questions:

• Todd Marsteller from York, Pennsylvania questions the plausibility of the Atlantic leak story being an internal sabotage effort against Trump. O’Reilly dismisses conspiratorial thinking, responding, "We don't do conspiracies here, Todd" (07:00).

• Thomas Concierge Member inquires about Goldberg’s mysterious phone connections within the Trump administration. O’Reilly insists on the necessity of uncovering these links, stating, "Absolutely need to find that out. That is a key question" (07:30).

• Meg Hornback from Chambly, Georgia praises an interview with Tom Holman, whom she describes as an honest and hardworking public servant. O’Reilly concurs, acknowledging Holman’s integrity.

• Scott Phillips from Buffalo, N.Y. raises an issue about removing illegal aliens, to which O’Reilly responds that while it's a criminal act to enter the country unlawfully, "you can't sweep and throw them out" due to asylum claims and Dreamers needing adjudication (08:00).
