DC Politicians want to enact harmful credit card mandates that could take away your cash back and rewards points, perks that stretch your budget and make life a little easier. Losing these benefits means less money for your family's everyday essentials like gas and groceries. The perks you rely on could disappear, leaving you with higher costs and fewer options. Tell Congress to guard your card and oppose the Durbin Marshall credit card mandates.

Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Air Force Two, the president calls for nonviolence, FBI reward and a big day at Yankee Stadium. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day of first, J.D. vance escorted Charlie Kirk's casket and family from Utah to Phoenix on Air Force Two. JD and his wife met Kirk's family and friends in Salt Lake City. I encourage you to read JD Vance's full Twitter post from the other day where he goes over the history of their friendship together. It reveals a lot about Charlie and the vice president. He ended the post with. I prayed a lot over the next hour. This is really right after he got news that he was shot as first good news and then bad trickled in. God didn't answer those prayers and that's okay. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to the big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends and the country he loved so dearly. You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here. Trump was asked at the White House if he's worried for his own safety. He said, not really. I'm really concerned for our country. We have a great country, but we have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics. And we're going to get that problem solved. I'm only concerned for the country. When asked about how his supporters should respond, the president said he Charlie was an advocate of nonviolence. That's the way I'd like to see people respond. The president said he spoke to Charlie's wife, Erica and said she was absolutely devastated. Charlie survived by his wife and four year old daughter and one year old son. I'd like to throw in how horrific and illuminating it's been to see so much glee, so many people celebrating the assassination online, even some people in the media insinuating, oh, he's a provocateur like he invited this to happen for saying things that wouldn't even be controversial six years ago. Oh, but he had it coming. After October 7th. Douglas Murray said that there's certain moments in history when a flare goes up and for a brief second you can see where everyone around you stands. This is a very important moment to look around and don't forget what you see. The FBI offered $100,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the assassin. ATF has reported that there were engravings on the spent cartridge and three chambered rounds inside the rifle found in a wooded area near the university. We don't know exactly what it said, but ATF said it expressed transgender and anti fascist ideology. The president of the United States was at the Yankee game yesterday in New York City. He's the first sitting president to attend a Yankees game since George W. Bush attended Game 3 of the World Series back in 2001 with, of course, what was the greatest opening pitch of all time? I'm Mike Slater from Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Message of the day. More evil envelops the United States. On the eve of 911 anniversary, political commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated, as you know, in Utah. Evil is a contagion and it is spreading now because resistance to it is slipping. That's one of the themes of my book, Confronting Evil. Americans can no longer turn away from misguided politicians and media that enable violent behavior. Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico, Venezuela, Putin, Iran, endless list. We must all confront evil by taking the actions available to us. Turn off the progressive media, vote against pro criminal politicians. Do not allow evil acts in your neighborhood. Or your home. Stand up. We are a free society so miscreants will always be present. But clear thinking Americans understand critical mass has now been reached with the Charlie Kirk assassination. You cannot look away from murder any longer. Chicago, you have to stop voting in politicians who will not enforce the law, who want release of criminals. New York, same thing. Stop it. Charlie Kirk will go down as a martyr. President Trump barely escaped that circumstance. 3,000 people on 911 did not escape. Fight against evil. Don't turn away. Back after this. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine the mail. Ben Moravati, concierge member. And that means Ben has direct access to me should he need any help whatsoever. Charlie Kirk's assassination, a great loss for the country. This is why we need to have law and order reinstituted. He was a remarkable human being with a great future. Yeah. And you know, it's been said over and over, over and over, over again, but that doesn't make it less true. Mark, what the hell is going on in America? A lot of our population has got to start speaking up. This is no longer a Democrat versus Republican event. You're right. That's why I wrote the book. I knew a year ago that this was coming. The age of evil. James comes here. Remember, Bill, concerning your proposition. No way. The Democratic Party has degenerated past any point of salvage. They have crossed the line into wanting to actively destroy the United States of America. Some of them. But that party could come back under good leadership because they're going to continue to get trounced with their attitude. No doubt about it. Concierge. Remember, John, I have relatives that would vote Democrat. No matter what the the party says or does. Till it changes, the loons will continue to get elected. A lot of truth to that. Lot of truth to the ignorant vote. Colleen, consequence member. I don't think anyone in the Democratic Party is strong enough leader to run up against Bernie Sanders, AOC And Ma' am, Donnie, right now. You're right, that could change. Didn't take money, though. Jay, unfortunately, the changing of the guard within the germ crew Democratic Party as you presented mostly will not place during. Not take place during my lifetime. I don't know. Things happen fast in America these days, particularly with social media. In a moment, something you might not know. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401k tax and penalty free with billions in precious metals delivered, thousands of five star reviews and an A from the Better Business Bureau.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. President Trump often likens himself to historical leaders, specifically Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson as presidents. But a more appropriate comparison may be a founding father, Alexander Hamilton. Here's why. Mr. Trump wants to dramatically increase the power of the executive branch and will test constitutional limits in his quest. We have seen that, well, that's what the national guard stuff in D.C. and Chicago is all about, as well as his campaign against the Fed. Mr. Trump is an impatient man with no time for fools or or ideological opponents. Alexander Hamilton was very similar. Hard guy, brave soldier, started the Federalist Party because he wanted the new United States to have a strong central authority. Hamilton didn't care what Delaware wanted. Thomas Jefferson did care about the states and saw them as guardians of the Constitution. That caused much angst. And between Hamilton and Jefferson, George Washington sided with his aide Hamilton, believing that a few good men should wield the most power, not the chaotic backwaters at the time like Georgia. As with Donald Trump, Hamilton was a political outsider. He rose to power through intellect, ambition, energy. Both men were polarizing and masters of persuasion. Hamilton used pamphlets to sway public perception. Mr. Trump, of course, uses social media. However, the two men differ in style. Alexander was an elitist. He believed the federal government should be run by the highly educated and upper classes. Trump is a populist who loathes the DC Swap. President Trump is not going to change, nor did Alexander Hamilton. Trump will use his power to increase his power. The Supreme Court knows this. It will be absolutely fascinating to see just how the nine justices deal with the new Alexander Hamilton. This coming autumn, Donald Trump will be in court a lot. For more fascinating stories about Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Trump, please check out my best selling book, Confronting the Presidents. Back in a moment.

This weekend episode of The O’Reilly Update, hosted by Bill O’Reilly, centers on the recent assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, its repercussions for American society, and broader themes of confronting evil, political polarization, and law and order. O’Reilly also reflects on President Trump’s public responses, offers historical perspective by comparing Trump to Alexander Hamilton, and engages with listener mail about the state of the Democratic Party and American politics.
"It's been horrific and illuminating to see so much glee, so many people celebrating the assassination online, even some people in the media insinuating, oh, he's a provocateur like he invited this to happen for saying things that wouldn't even be controversial six years ago."
"Not really. I'm really concerned for our country. We have a great country, but we have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics. And we're going to get that problem solved. I'm only concerned for the country." ([01:55])
"Charlie was an advocate of nonviolence. That’s the way I’d like to see people respond." ([02:10])
“Evil is a contagion and it is spreading now because resistance to it is slipping. That’s one of the themes of my book, Confronting Evil. Americans can no longer turn away from misguided politicians and media that enable violent behavior.”
“We are a free society so miscreants will always be present. But clear thinking Americans understand critical mass has now been reached with the Charlie Kirk assassination.”
“That party could come back under good leadership because they’re going to continue to get trounced with their attitude. No doubt about it.”
“President Trump is not going to change, nor did Alexander Hamilton. Trump will use his power to increase his power. The Supreme Court knows this. It will be absolutely fascinating to see just how the nine justices deal with the new Alexander Hamilton.”
The episode carries O’Reilly’s trademark urgent, fact-driven, and unapologetic tone. Political rhetoric is pointed but reflective, focusing on “reality checks” and responsibility. Mailbag segments add a conversational element, while O’Reilly’s message is assertive and didactic, urging “clear thinking Americans” to take action.
This episode uses the tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to springboard into an urgent call for Americans to “confront evil,” reject complacency, and demand stronger law enforcement and responsible leadership. O’Reilly critiques both political parties (with particular emphasis on the Democratic Party’s current direction), ties contemporary events to historical precedent, and invites listeners to see this moment as a turning point for American society.
