Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the president headed to China Thursday and Friday to meet with President Xi. Iran, of course, will be a major topic. China wants the Strait of Hormuz open. They get a ton of oil from Iran, we don't. The president said he's been somebody that we get along with and I think you're gonna see that good things are going to happen. This is gonna be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are gonna happen. He then said, I don't think we need any help with Iran and we'll win it one way or the other. In other China news, the former mayor of Arcadia, California, which just part of la, is expected to plead guilty after being charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People's Republic of China. Eileen Wang and Yao Ning soon worked at the direction of the People's Republic of China and operated U.S. news Center, a website that catered to the Chinese community in America.

The family of a victim killed last April at a mass shooting at Florida State University has filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI. They're the owners of ChatGPT, saying that the chatbot enabled the deadly attack. ChatGPT allegedly told the killer that it would be more likely for his shooting to gain national attention if children were involved and noted that two or three victims draws even more attention. In other ChatGPT news, a Texas couple whose 19 year old son died of an overdose last year is also suing ChatGPT because their son used it to get information about the drugs he used. Their lawsuit claims that ChatGPT is not qualified to dispense medical advice. Specifically, ChatGPT advised their son that it was safe to take Kratom in combination with Xanax. The lawsuit claims that ChatGPT is capable of stopping a conversation if it's programmed to, but instead it continued to advise self harm. The Department of Justice has charged a Singapore company for failing to maintain proper technical systems, which caused it to crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Wednesday. It's complicated. That's the cliche. But President Trump's visit to China this week certainly is. First, the Chinese could help end the Iran conflict because it buys so much oil from the mullahs. If the communists purchase elsewhere, like the usa, Iran's economy gets hammered. But in order for Beijing to cooperate with America, it will want the Trump administration to stop protecting Taiwan. If the USA did that, the world would perceive America as weak. Then there's AI. China's been stealing US Technology and doesn't really care whether we like it or not. So how do you stop that? Very difficult. Now, you may remember I traveled to Beijing a year ago for a sit down with high ranking Communists. The world is a much more chaotic place now than it was then. So this week there are very high stakes in play. All loyal Americans should be hoping the talks succeed, that they go our way. But we remain a very divided nation and many citizens would rather see Donald Trump fail than succeed in the negotiations. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billo reilly.com, billorilly.com name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Josie, Riverhead, New York. I agree with you, O'Reilly, about the oil companies making profits. It's inexcusable. There's no reason other than greed to capitalize on a vulnerable situation. Shame on them. I do not understand. If we have neutralized Iran's military capacity, why is the US not opening the Strait of Hormuz with navy escorts? We are, we are we escort ships through there every day. But the Iranians are over on the banks on the sides of the strait lobbing, you know, drones and things like that. Insurance companies aren't insuring the other ships. So that's, it's a little complicated. But we're there and we control it with our military power. MG Concierge, Remember, Bill, I concur with your statement that fuel prices in the USA should be addressed by President Trump. A free market guy also recognized that when dealing with oligarchs, it is necessary for the government to regulate them. So you and Teddy Roosevelt are on the same page, okay? It can get out of control. BP making 100% profit in one quarter is out of control. I mean, I think I'm the only one reporting this. I don't think there's anybody else reporting it. Alan, the US has no possibility of defending Taiwan. Just look at the location. It's a few miles away from mainland China, half a world away from America. China will take it one way or another whenever it wants. If China does that, it'll be an economic boycott all over that country. Okay? They have to do it legally. They can't do it militarily. Plus, the Taiwanese will fight. They'll fight and they are well armed. Not like the Ukrainians. So it's not just walking on in there. In a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 32 years ago today, Johnny Carson returned to late night TV just two years after his retirement. It would be the comedian's final appearance on television. Here is the story. After doing a series of quiz shows and comedy routines with sidekick Ed McMahon, Carson was tasked by NBC to create an evening program as a counterpart to its popular morning broadcast, the Today Show. The Tonight show debuted on October 1, 1962. An average of 9 million people per night watched Johnny and his crew for the next three decades. His final program took place March 1992. On May 13, 1994, Carson made a rare and silent appearance on the Late show with David Letterman. Johnny emerged from behind a curtain. The band played his theme song. He sat behind Letterman for a few moments, then left the stage without saying one single word. Johnny, can I have the top 10 list? Carson later explained he was suffering from laryngitis but refused to cancel his Letterman appearance. His second 92nd cameo on the Late show would be his last one. The comedian then retired from public life. In 1999, he suffered a severe heart attack. At the age of 74, he underwent quadruple bypass. Johnny Carson died in 2005 from complications caused by decades of smoking. He was 79 years old. And here's something else you might not know. In the final months of his life, the comedian secretly sent David Letterman jokes in the mail. A few days after his death, Dave paid tribute by delivering a monologue that consisted entirely of material written by Johnny Carson while he was still alive. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
