Fellas, you know Degree Cool Rush deodorant, right? Well, last year they changed the formula and guys were mad about it. One dude even started a petition. So guess what? Degree heard us, admitted they messed up and brought the original Cool Rush scent back exactly how it was. And it's in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So grab some and remember why its cool, crisp and fresh scent made it the number one man's antiperspirant for the last decade. Degree Cool Rush is back and it smells like victory for all of us.

Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, May 2, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Cabinet shakeup, big movement in Ukraine, Trump commencement address and Kilmar protective order. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Mike Waltz is the first member of the Cabinet, although national security advisor is not technically in the Cabinet, but first top official in the Trump administration be moved. He will be the new ambassador to the United Nations. The Senate does have to confirm that ultimately, Elise Stefanik was Trump's first pick to be ambassador to the UN but there was a question if the Republicans would win that seat back in a special election. So she kept her House seat. Waltz will move over there and Marco Rubio will serve as the national security advisor and also remain the secretary of state. Big news out of Ukraine. The day after the United States and Ukraine signed a mineral rights agreement which gives a 50:50 deal between Ukraine and America on their rare earth metals and other natural resources, according to Trump's special envoy in Ukraine, that's retired General Keith Kellogg. He said Ukraine has now agreed to concede land held by Russia for peace. Kiev has also agreed to 22 concrete terms. General Kellogg said people don't understand how violent this war has been. When you combine the Ukrainian and Russian soldiers killed and wounded, he said, we're at 1.2 million people. That's an unheard of number we only had in eight years of war in Vietnam, 68,000 killed. Trump spoke yesterday at the Alabama graduation commencement ceremony. He's told the story how in the 1940s, the owner of Levittown, the company came in and made a huge offer to buy the company and the owner took the deal and he went with his trophy wife and moved to the south of France and lived the life of luxury. He said about 10, 15 years went by and they sold him back the company and he started building again and lost everything. Trump said it was a sad story. And he saw him once at a party and said, how are you? He said, not well. Donald, what happened? Trump said, son, I lost my momentum. It was one of the pieces of advice to the graduates, keep your momentum. He also told people, you got to be an outsider if you want to fix a broken system. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, we have an update here, a second protective order. This, of course, is the Maryland man who's now in the El Salvador prison. This is a different protective order than the one from 2021. In this one, his wife accuses him of physical abuse, threatening her. She said she has a recording where he says that even if he kills her, nobody can do anything to him. She said, at this point, I'm afraid to be close to him. I have multiple videos and photos of how violent he can be and the bruises he has left me. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Friday. I hope you saw the town hall on News Nation and the CW network or heard it on 100 radio stations across the country with President Trump on Wednesday evening. It was so much different than the other interviews the president does on the networks. And the reason is that I know him for 35 years. I booked the interview for News Nation and I know how to ask him questions to get the maximum amount of information. So, for example, Terry Moran, a very fine correspondent for ABC News, interviewed the president on Tuesday. Moran made a mistake of getting bogged down in the Garcia El Salvador deportment thing. Donald Trump is never going to admit anything. In that case, the Justice Department is trying to assemble evidence that Mr. Garcia, who was a resident of Maryland illegally, was attached or associated to MS.13. That's the story. So he got booted and perhaps not in a justified way and the Supreme Court got involved. But now the case is being adjudicated. Well, Moran didn't even know that. He spent all his time on it. And Trump is just going, no, no, no, no. Yes, no, no, yes, no. And I just wasted the whole interview. So if you didn't see my interview with the president which was about the tariffs and a lot of things that are important, Bill O'Reilly.com has it. Okay, so go there. Let me know what you think. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You, you can reach me, bill@billoriley.com bill@billoreilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail we got. Robin Z. The town hall last night was excellent. Bill, I wanted to ask why so little is said about your point to buy American. The news is full of worry about tariffs, even Amazon listing tariff costs. Let's talk about stopping buying from China. Support your country and buy American. You know, I don't know why. It's easy. China is our enemy right now. I hope that subsides. But I'm a buy. I'm not. Michael Byer, Dyer, Indiana. Bill, been with you since 2008. You're the only one that I watch now. Didn't really understand a trillion dollar going out tariff comments you made. It's not hard, Michael. We trade with countries around the world, okay? They send us their stuff, we send them our stuff. But most of those countries make it very expensive through vat, taxes, tariffs, regulations for American products to get into Dusseldorf or Kyoto or wherever. Okay? The result is $1 trillion of American money going out, more than coming in every year. Got it Like a little. You're never going to have a perfect trade balance ever, would you Got to close that up in a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 160 years ago today, President Andrew Johnson offered a $100,000 reward for the capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The announcement began one of the biggest manhunts in US History. Here is the story. The Civil War ended in the spring of 1865 when Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. Six days later, President Abraham Lincoln was shot dead by Southern Sympathizer John Wilkes Boot. Vice President Andrew Johnson was immediately sworn into office. Believing the plot against Lincoln was part of a larger conspiracy, Johnson offered $100,000 for the capture of Confederate leader Jefferson Davis and his cohorts. That's the moderate equivalent of almost $2 million. Hoping to obtain the bounty, thousands of Union soldiers dispersed across the South. Davis went into hiding. On May 9, the 56 year old rebel leader and his family were found on a farm in southern Georgia. Desperate, the Confederate president put on his wife's clothing, ran towards a muddy creek. There he was detained by Northern soldiers who were not eligible for the cash bounty because of their active service. They didn't get any money. Jefferson Davis was then transported to Fort Monroe in Virginia, where he remained a prisoner for two years. Though he was indicted for prison, Davis never went to trial. At the time, the federal government was focused on Reconstruction. Fearing another southern rebellion, Jefferson Davis was released in 1867. He relocated to the Mississippi coast where he wrote two memoirs about the Civil War. There, he died on December 6, 1889 at the age of 81. And here's something else you might not know. Though Davis was stripped of his nationality, he eventually got it back. He became a US citizen again in 1978. That's when Congress passed a resolution to posthumously restore Davis citizenship. President Jimmy Carter signed the bill stating, quote, it is time to put the division of the Civil War behind us. Back after this. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly.
