Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, September 15, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Charlie Kirk memorial murderer not cooperating, some NFL teams honor and Trump cracks down in Memphis. It's all coming up then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, White House officials and some Republican lawmakers gathered at the Kennedy center last night to hold a prayer vigil in remembrance of Charlie Kirk. Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk's organization, of course, announced that they will be holding a memorial Service on Sunday, September 21st in Glendale, Arizona at State Farm Stadium. It's the home of the NFL Cardinals seats 65,000 people for mega events, 73,000. Turning Point said. Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend. The service will begin at 11am the president said he plans on attending a service. He said whenever it is, I'll be going. Charlie Kirk's wife Erica addressed the nation. Standing next to Charlie's chair at his radio studio was on Friday night a 16 minute address. It was remarkable, she said. The movement my husband built will not die. It won't. I refuse to let that happen. Turning Point USA has received 18,000 new chapter requests from across the country, she said, I'll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing this nation has ever seen. I love you, baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord. The governor of Utah said that the suspect is not cooperating with police, but the people around him are. He has not confessed to authorities. He's 22 years old and the governor said he is deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology. The governor also confirmed reports that the murderer was in a romantic relationship with his roommate who is in the process of transitioning, whatever that means from male to female. The governor said that the suspected murderer spent much of his time gaming and and immersed on the deep dark Internet, the Reddit culture and these other dark places. Multiple NFL teams had a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk on Sunday, including the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers lowered their flags to half staff, but no moment of silence. Teams that did not include a moment of silence or anything, the Bengals, Lions, Ravens, Rams, Bears and Browns. The NFL allowed each team to decide how they want to honor Charlie Kirk. In other news, the president said that National Guard troops will be going into Memphis, Tennessee. Trump said Memphis is in deep trouble. The president said we'll bring in the military too if we need it. Where Illinois did not want the help in Chicago, the red state of Tennessee welcomes the president and whatever help he can bring. Brent Taylor, he's a Tennessee state senator just outside the Memphis area. He said when it comes to the crime issue, blue state governors are as useless as a milk bucket under a bowl. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast, Politics by Faith. We've been talking a lot about Charlie Kirk over there. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Terms conditions may apply. Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Monday. Reporters and news analysts should not become emotionally involved with stories or the people that are involved with those stories. Best example, President Trump, the haters and the cheerleaders are doing a disservice to honest journalism. I perfectly understand why the president wants positive news coverage and rewards those who provide it. But I don't have a hard time covering the man fairly, even though I've known him for three decades. I simply analyze what he does, not what he says. That's because Donald Trump uses rhetoric and social media as a negotiating tool. Things change minute to minute with him over the years. The president has been frustrated with me, but I never took it personally. He wants what he wants. All powerful people are like that. Putin will actually poison you if you get out of line. So far, President Trump, in my opinion, is doing the right thing on national security. The economy is undefined. Woke is on the run, which is a good thing. Mr. Trump is a high stakes gambler, no question. Tariffs, bombs, migrant roundups. The nation has never seen a president like this, it all might make America stronger or not. A definition will become clear fairly soon and we here will cover it Fairly. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billoriley.com bill@billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Philip Glayton, Rockville, Rockland, Maine. Rockland, Maine, Bill, it's time for an executive order to lower food prices. Unconstitutional. Can't interfere with private business if you are the president of the United States States unless that business is putting the public in danger. We got Michael Gibson, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I have to go there. I flew over it, but I it's on my list. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. So says Michael O'Reilly. You mentioned that businesses don't want to bring down prices. I agree. The reason is that wages for workers, workers cannot be reduced. So a business person for him, it's impossible or her to bring down prices. Not always. You can bring down prices of inventory. But I understand you can't cut workers wages unless they're not doing a job or this AI is going to wreak havoc in that area. By the way, Michael, by the way, sorry about that, Shelley. Concierge member first, let me say, Bill, that your mother is beautiful. I can literally feel the kindness and love emanating from her photo. You were blessed. I will be receiving Confronting Evil via Amazon tomorrow. Looking forward to reading it. I definitely have you penciled in on my calendar for Wednesday evening at 8 my time. That would be 10pm News Nation Wednesday night. I'll tell you more about it in a moment. But I want to thank you for the kind comments on my mom. She lived to be 93 and she had a good life. Never saw evil. That was the point of using her photo the other day. In a moment, something you might not know.

One year ago today, a lone gunman concealed near a golf course was poised to shoot and kill the Republican nominee for president. To this day, very little is known about the suspect behind the second attempt on the life of Donald Trump. Here is the story. On July 13, 2024, President Trump was shot in the ear while speaking to a crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania. We all know the story. We all have seen the tape. The bullet was just millimeters from taking his life. Despite that near death experience, little change within Donald Trump's Secret service detail. On September 15, the nominee was golfing at his club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when a man was seen hiding in the bushes. The former president was taken to safety as officials approached the armed suspect. He fled. The police caught him. His name, ryan Ruth. The 59 year old has a long history of criminal activity, including larceny, fraud, theft and illegal possession of a firearm. He even claims to have fought in Ukraine against Russian soldiers despite being caught with multiple weapons. Ruth has pleaded not guilty of all charges, including attempted murder. He is currently being held at a federal facility near Miami. The trial begins this month. If convicted, Ruth faces life. And here's something else you might not know. The trial will likely be one of the most bizarre in recent history. Ruth, who is representing himself, has already made a handful of strange requests. The defendant has asked the judge for access to adult dancers, a putting green and a round of golf with Donald Trump. Ruth is obviously trying to portray himself as insane. He said in court, quote, I want a round of golf with the racist pig. If he wins, he can execute me. If I win, I get his job, unquote. Obviously, the guy is mentally deranged, but he should be put away for life. Anyway, back after this. 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.

Host: Bill O’Reilly
Date: September 15, 2025
This episode of The O’Reilly Update covers key headlines in America, most notably the ongoing response to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, commemorative actions by various NFL teams, and President Trump’s announcement of National Guard deployment to Memphis amid rising crime. Bill O’Reilly’s “Message of the Day” focuses on objectivity in journalism, particularly regarding Donald Trump. The episode closes with a detailed recount of the recent second assassination attempt on President Trump, the arrest and bizarre behavior of suspect Ryan Ruth, and what’s ahead as his trial approaches.
[00:24-02:30]
“The movement my husband built will not die. It won't. I refuse to let that happen.”
“I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing this nation has ever seen. I love you, baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord.”
— Erica Kirk, [00:56–01:21]
[01:50–02:25]
[02:26–02:58]

— Brent Taylor, Tennessee State Senator, [02:55]

[04:20–05:30]

“I want a round of golf with the racist pig. If he wins, he can execute me. If I win, I get his job.”
— Ryan Ruth, [08:06]
“I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing this nation has ever seen. I love you, baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord.”
“Mr. Trump is a high stakes gambler, no question. Tariffs, bombs, migrant roundups. The nation has never seen a president like this—it all might make America stronger, or not.”
“Blue state governors are as useless as a milk bucket under a bull.”
“I want a round of golf with the racist pig. If he wins, he can execute me. If I win, I get his job.”
Maintaining his classic “no spin, just facts” tone, O’Reilly delivers pointed commentary on the necessity of journalistic objectivity, the polarization of political figures, and the unpredictable future of Trump’s presidency. The episode is marked by its somber but defiant coverage of Charlie Kirk’s death and a mixture of dry wit and stern assessment in the analysis of crime and political violence.
