Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Epstein bill passes the Crown Prince in D.C. department of Education breaking up and murderers released. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the bill to release the Epstein files passed the House with all yes votes except for one, Clay Higgins from Louisiana. He said it abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files released to a rabid media will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt, he said if the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House. That's not going to happen though, because the Senate unanimously agreed to approve the House bill. So the moment it arrived from the House, boom, it's deemed immediately passed in the Senate, no objections, which means there's no amendments or any changes to the bill. The crown prince of Saudi Arabia visited the White House yesterday and announced that Saudi Arabia is upping its investment commitment to America to a trillion dollars. Back in May, the Crown Prince pledged 600 billion lots of pageantry all day yesterday at the White House when the crown prince arrived. Horses, trumpets, the whole thing, the crown prince said. It's about long term opportunity in the United States of America to affect the American economy positively in the next coming decades. Preparing the foundation of emerging technologies. That's a game changer for America in a good way and we want to be a part of it. The Department of Education announced six interagency agreements that would transfer some of its offices to these other government agencies. For instance, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education Programs and Office of Post Secondary Education will be co managed by the Department of Labor, the Office of Indian Education, administered by the Interior Department. Child care access and foreign medical accreditation will be going to hhs, and international and foreign language services is moving to the state department. Linda McMahon, the head of the Education Department, who said she wants to eliminate her job, said cutting through layers of red tape in Washington is one essential piece of our mission. A California judge has freed two murder suspects without bail. The local DA said, this is an individual who not only committed a murder, who's not only been in prison once, but has been in prison twice and is a documented gang member and a dangerous person. There are not one, but two murder suspects released without bail. Amazing. We have judges across the country still doing this. I'm Mike Slater. From the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Eric Bolling here with a question. Do you know what it really takes to keep your edge? It's not comfort. It's not playing it safe. It's walking straight into the fire and coming out stronger on the other side. That's the driving principle behind my podcast, the Edge, where pressure, risk and raw performance collide. On this week's episode, I sat down with Patrick Bet David, a business legend and media mogul who built his empire from nothing. Discover how he used pressure and personal thought fire to create his edge. Listen and subscribe to Eric F's the Edge, available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Wednesday, after decades of experiencing horrendous violence, the Mexican people are finally demonstrating against their government's impotence in fighting against the drug cartels. As we write, in confronting evil, cartel leaders have amassed billions of dollars while murdering at will and, of course, sending poison to the USA and other countries. In addition, cartel thugs terrorize the Mexican people by extorting legitimate businesses and violently attacking any and all opposition. President Trump has offered to coordinate with Mexico to destroy the cartel leadership, but Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum loudly declined. Why? I believe Ms. Sheinbaum is frightened for her own safety. There is no other reason and reasonable people know it. The Mexican government is simply not strong enough to control the drug merchants. And now many Mexicans themselves have had enough. They are protesting in the streets. So I do expect President Trump to take direct action against the drug cartels in Mexico. And it will be violent and Sheinbaum should back it. If she doesn't, it'll happen Anyway. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me bill at bill o'reilly.com bill@billow reilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. MALE Robert Pitch, Columbiana, Alabama Hey, Bill, I get irritated when I hear you and others say the immigration system is broken. No immigration system would be able to absorb 15 million people in four years. The system is fine. This system is not fine. Part of the reason is what you just said, that you we've been overrun, but the 1952 law is obsolete. Got to be much more specific. In asylum, in punishment, in registration, on and on and on and on. Peter Melville, Salem, Oregon President Trump continues to imply or actually say foreign exporters pay US Tariffs, such as we're bringing in so much money or we're hurting them so bad, which of course is untrue. What's untrue about it? USA is bringing a lot of money from tariffs, tons of money. That's a fact. I was going to say Jack, but your name is Peter David, concierge. Remember, David has a direct line to me. I hope you can consider concierge membership. Great Christmas gift, Bill. It's not just the current president of Mexico is afraid of the cartels. Been this way for the past 60 years. In fact, I can't ever remember a time in history when the Mexican government wasn't corrupt. Pretty accurate. Pretty accurate. P.K. another concierge member. I am a boomer. Sooner that means he's from Oklahoma. I know more years are behind me than in front of me and I've accepted that. I'm happy with my life. I regret very little and I will leave it someday knowing I made the world a better place. I am so happy to hear that. PK I wrote a column, billorily.com Sunday column on baby boomers not wanting to die. I don't want to die, but I'm not afraid of it. PK you know, we put in our time in a moment. Something you might not know.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. We are Nearly one year into Donald Trump's second term, and his retribution tour is well underway. Unlike most past presidents who viewed conflict as a political matter, the current commander in chief takes things rather personally. Now there is controversy about how Mr. Trump is treating some people who have hurt him in his past. Here's a quick rundown of the president's retribution list. John Bolton, former national security adviser, split with Trump during the first term and then called the president, quote, stunningly unfit for office. He has since been indicted on 18 counts related to mishandling classified information. James Comey. Donald Trump accused the former FBI director of botching the DOJ's investigation into the Russian collusion hoax. Comey also documented his interactions with Mr. Trump, then apparently leaked that information to the New York Times. In September, James Comey was indicted on two counts of making false statements to Congress. Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, led the prosecution of Donald Trump for allegedly inflating the value of his real estate portfolio. That $500 million civil case was eventually dismissed by an appeals court. Last month, Ms. James was indicted on one count of bank fraud and one count of mortgage fraud. Criminal statutes. Former special counsel Jack Smith, the man behind the investigation of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, was subpoenaed by Congress, who addressed, quote, prosecutional misconduct and constitutional abuses. Wow. Other notable names, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chris Christie, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, all are under some scrutiny. Many Americans are frightened by these investigations. This is payback by Mr. Trump. But it may be righteous because some of these people are very shady. The courts will decide. Back in a moment.
