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.
