Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, September 8, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Operation Patriot 2.0, Georgia workplace raid, final chance for Hamas and a first for a US President. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, ICE has launched an immigration enforcement operation in Boston called Operation Patriot 2.0. 2.0 because the first Operation Patriot resulted in over 1,500 arrests. That was back in May. ICE planning another Operation in Boston. Also, of course, Chicago. Over the weekend, the president posted an Apocalypse now themed poster telling officials Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War. Trump signed an executive order on Friday to change the name of the Department of Defense back to its original name, the Department of War. 475 people were detained during an immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia. This is where they make electric vehicle batteries. 300 of those detained are South Korean. This is the largest workplace immigration raid of this term. Tom Holman said. We're going to do a lot more work. Site enforcement. The South Korean president's chief of staff said negotiations for the release of the detained workers have been concluded after swift responses by the relevant ministries, business agencies and companies. They were flown home on a chartered plane. Hyundai says they're committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations in every market where we operate. The president wrote on Truth Social. Everyone wants the hostages home. Everyone wants this war to end. The Israelis have accepted my terms. It's time for Hamas to accept as well. I've warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning. There will not be another one. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We don't know the exact terms of the proposal, but there are 48 remaining Israeli hostages. It's believed that 20 of them are still alive. Hamas has reportedly responded that they are willing to give up some of the hostages in return for a full Israeli withdrawal to from Gaza. We'll see if the president believes this is a real suggestion or not. Meanwhile, President Trump getting ready for his trip to England. This will be September 17th through 19th. This is his second official state visit. The first was with Queen Elizabeth II back in 2019. Now with King Charles III. No U.S. president has ever had two official formal state visits in England. The British ambassador to US said the king is going to roll out the red carpet for President Trump. Very ceremonial, lots of colors, lots of pageantry, he said. I think it just shows how much our country respects the president and I think it shows the closeness of our two countries. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith, the great Bill O'Reilly. He has your message of the day. Next.

Message of the day. On this Monday, my old teammate Tucker Carlson said on his X program that Vladimir Putin is the most effective leader of his lifetime, of Carlson's lifetime, and that Joe Biden was more evil than Putin. Wow. So let's break it down. There is no one better than getting attention than Tucker Carlson. I've known him, not close friends. He was based in D.C. i was in New York during the Fox years. But he's a smart guy, has a very defined view of the world. And it's always been flattering to Putin. I don't know why. As you may know, my book Confronting Evil comes out tomorrow and Putin is on the COVID He is a heinous murderer. There is no question about that. I back it up 50 different ways. Just in Ukraine, millions of people have been killed or forced to flee or hurt. The damage is amazing. And it was all because Putin wanted to conquer Ukraine. One man caused all that horror. Vladimir Putin is evil. He will go down in history alongside Hitler, Mao, Stalin and all the rest. You'll see it in my book. I'd like to talk to Tucker Carlson about this. We'll see if he steps up. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, bill@billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now, let's go to the mail. Don, the reason we have so many bad politicians is ignorant voters. You get the government, you vote for that is true. And it's growing, unfortunately, as the public schools abdicated its responsibility, their responsibility to teach the urchins about how the country runs and what is good and what is bad. Public schools won't do that anymore. So you have a dumb population getting dumber now, the older guard, baby boomers and all. Greatest generation. We know some of us reject it, some of us live in bubbles, but we know, we heard it. But the young, the youngins, come on. You go around today and you ask any young person who's vice president United States, keep your card and send it to me. So ask 5. I want to know how many knew that Vance is vice president. Out of the five, just random say, can I ask you a question? And you know, be nice about it, of course. Raymond Bongard, Melbourne, Florida. Over a year ago, I recall you, O'Reilly, proposing a suggestion that any crime involving a handgun would be a federal crime. Such action would invoke federal prosecution that would quickly neutralize the liberal judges who refuse to prosecute violent criminals. Please comment. For the prospects of enacting that law. Zero. And the reason is that the second Amendment then comes in and the pro gun lobby, they don't favor the federalization of gun crimes. So Trump would have to deal with that backlash. And then the liberals would say overreach, overreach, overreach, local issue, state issue, local issue, state issue. Because they don't want, as you point out, the power to be taken away from the liberal judges. So you get a twofer in there. And that's why it won't happen. Neither group is looking out for Americans. They're not. 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. Get precious metals delivered to your door or place in a tax Advantage Gold IRA. 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. You can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998-899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text bill to 998-899. 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 fit. 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 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 D.C. swamp. 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.
