Thanks, Bill. You're listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening this week in America. Comey indicted Trump on Omar Hegseth calling in the generals and the former president of this country for thrown in jail. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice. The statute of limitations ends this coming Tuesday. So they got it in just before the clock expires. Pam Bondi said no one's above the law. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts of this case. The charges are likely from a testimony that Comey gave on September 30, 2020 during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Ted Cruz asked about a testimony he gave in 2017 where he said he did not authorize leaking information regarding the FBI's investigation into President Trump or Secretary Clinton, Comey said, I stand by the testimony. But a 2018 Justice Department inspector general report found that Comey's deputy, Andrew McCabe, admitted that Comey authorized him to leak information to the press. Trump in the Oval Office was asked about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from Texas. He called her a low IQ person. But then he said, you know, I met with the head of Somalia. This in reference to Elon, Omar says, I met with the head of Somalia and I suggested that maybe he'd like to take Omar back. He said, I don't want her. Worth noting that Omar's family fled Somalia at the outbreak of their Civil War in 1991. Omar came to America in 1995 when she was 12 years old, but her family did not leave Somalia. Some poor refugee. Her dad worked for the government of the Muslim Marxist military dictator that the people overthrew. That was why her family had to flee the country. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of US military generals and admirals on short notice to D.C. it has not been announced why yet. The directive was sent to nearly all military top commanders worldwide. It's about 800 generals and admirals around the world. Hegseth did have a directive in May to cut about 100 generals and admirals. Little blast from the past here. You might remember the former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy. He's been sentenced to five years in jail. This is after a three month trial. First time that a former French president has been found guilty of trying to use foreign money like this. The claim is he orchestrated a scheme to secure 50 million euros from Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. I'm Mike Slater for the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. The Walt Disney Company is an interesting study among the wealthiest corporations on Earth. Its management seems to be comfortable, veering away from the traditional American consumer. Jimmy Kimmel, the View ladies, George Stephanopoulos and much of its network news staff are all ardent leftists. The entertainment division of Disney is based in Burbank. It's woke. It's dismissive of counter points of view. Try to get a show greenlighted if you're a conservative. Not going to happen. In fact, the Disney Corporation has no conservative voices on display in any of its enterprises. Add to that the ticket prices for the theme parks exorbitant. That effectively denies poor families access. Couldn't you have a special or buy in advance? The kids can't go because their parents can't afford it. That does not seem very progressive to me. But maybe ideology only goes so far. When money is concerned. It's all about leadership. Of course, Disney executives set the prices, approve the programming, hire personnel and the company continues to make mighty profits. But there's something a bit off here. Disney was built on providing wholesome entertainment to traditional Americans. What happened? I don't know, but I won't be surprised. The big changes descend on Mickey and the crew very soon. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoriley.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine, let's go to the mail. Brent, concierge member. That means Brent gets huge discounts and any book he wants free. Kimmel is back. Well, it tells us all we need to know about the anti American executives at Disney. Might all consider a boycott. I don't like the boycott stuff. I just tell you my personal thing. If you don't watch it, fine. But a massive boycott, that's not going to work anyway. William K. This will present an interesting situation when over half the country will not be watching Jimmy Kimmel, 22%. And I think that Kim will be restored to almost 100% fairly soon. Still not going to help him, I don't think. Maurice Hendry, Phoenix, New York. Phoenix, New York Hey, Bill, I watch you on YouTube. You said that Charlie Kirk was assassinated for political views. He was assassinated because the media and liberals distorted his views. I disagree. Maurice. Mr. Kirk was a traditional Christian conservative. The progressive left hates that. Pastor Stephen Brubaker, St. James, Missouri, Brubaker Sorry, Pastor Brubaker, forgiveness toward the assassins. Act of mercy. Forgiveness on Erica Kirk's part is an act of freedom. Free to move away from bitterness. Okay, Pastor, I understand. Kim Lewis, Ervada, Colorado after reading your weekly column, I wondered, did you have any interaction with David Perdue, the ambassador to China, during a visit? I did not. I wasn't representing the Trump administration, had nothing to do. All I did was a courtesy debrief for the president when I came back, which is my obligation as an American citizen. But I wasn't tied in to any, you know, political party or anything like that. Rex Price, Georgia Just wondering why you didn't put Hillary Clinton in your book Confronting Evil. You know, Rex, perspective is very important in life. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. People believe what they want to believe. The left in America fervently puts forth that their freedom of speech is being threatened by President Trump. No amount of debate will ever dissuade them because liberals derive comfort from that point of view. Trump is squashing speech, but what about the truth of the matter? First off, the leftist media have been trampling freedom of expression ever since Donald Trump began gathering political power. I know this because as the best selling nonfiction author in the world, I have to promote my books to alert folks they're in the marketplace. Before the Trump era, that was not a problem. I had access to the networks no longer. And it's not only me. Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't book any non liberal guests, nor would Colbert. When Jimmy Fallon recently spoke with Greg Gutfeld made headlines because the situation was so rare. The morning network news programs exclude almost all conservatives or traditional people. The view totally blacks out non liberals, as does Jane Pauly on the CBS Sunday Morning program. Conservative commentator Mark Levin has written a series of bestsellers. Have you seen him on the networks? So the most powerful media companies in the world have totally shut down speech that opposes liberalism. And that's fine with many on the left. Nothing to see here or hear here. Business as usual. Liberal opinion on display. 24. Seven conservative thoughts. Sorry, we're closed. This exclusion is a colossal violation of free speech. Dangerous to the nation. Putin stuff. However, you'll not hear that spoken on the network news talk programs which are now loudly bemoaning Jimmy Kimmel's exit. Hey, how about some honesty and fairness for a change network people about a debate on all this freedom of speech. How about you acknowledging how you have crushed expression? Not holding my breath back after this.
