Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening
1:00
to the O'Reilly update. Coming
1:02
up next, the news with Mike Slater.
1:04
Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, April
1:06
23rd, 2024. Here's what's happening
1:09
today in America. Opening statements, close call, TikTok
1:11
ban, and a shoe deal. It's
1:15
all coming up and Bill's going to be here with
1:17
your message of the day. But first, prosecutors made their
1:19
opening statements yesterday. It's all coming up and Bill's going
1:21
to be here with your message of the day. But
1:24
first, prosecutors made their opening statements
1:26
yesterday. Reporters say
1:28
that Trump fumed and shook his
1:30
head when he was accused of
1:33
lying, quote, over and over and over
1:35
again to conceal an alleged scheme to
1:37
buy the silence of Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors
1:40
detailed how Trump, aided by allies,
1:42
including the National Enquirer, used a catch
1:44
and kill scheme to buy the rights
1:47
to damaging stories about his private life.
1:49
That's legal, by the way. There's nothing
1:51
illegal about that. The prosecutor
1:53
told the courtroom this case is about a criminal
1:55
conspiracy and a cover up. The
1:57
defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme
2:00
to corrupt. the 2016 presidential election. Then
2:02
he covered up the criminal conspiracy by
2:04
lying in his New York business records
2:06
over and over and over again. It
2:08
was an election fraud, pure and
2:11
simple. Trump's attorney said the former
2:13
president had nothing to do with paying Daniels. It was
2:15
handled by a bookkeeper. Someone broke
2:17
into the house of the mayor of Los
2:19
Angeles, Karen Bass, 640 in the morning smashed
2:21
the window to get an house and Karen
2:23
and her family were home. No
2:25
word if they had any interaction, no injuries. The
2:28
suspect was arrested, set on a hundred thousand
2:30
dollar bail, which is interesting because
2:32
Karen Bass is off her bail reform, but not
2:34
if someone tries to break into her house. Turns
2:37
out this fine fella has served seven
2:39
years in prison before in Massachusetts. We're
2:42
a step closer to banning TikTok in America.
2:44
The house already passed a ban on TikTok,
2:47
but it didn't go anywhere in the Senate.
2:49
This time though it was attached to that
2:51
foreign aid Ukraine bill, so the
2:53
Senate's not gonna say no because of the
2:56
TikTok, so this will probably happen. This
2:58
version gives TikTok one year to
3:01
sell, ideally to an American
3:03
company or it's banned in America. 170
3:06
million Americans use TikTok.
3:09
I can't think of anything since prohibition where something
3:12
that is used by so many
3:14
Americans will be banned. Caitlin
3:16
Clark is now a member of the WNBA,
3:18
all-time leading score in men's and
3:20
women's basketball. One of my most
3:22
controversial opinions I ever shared is
3:25
that you can't compare the top female score
3:27
with the top men's score. Pete Marovitch played when
3:29
there was no Shot Clock, no three-point line. He
3:31
wasn't allowed to play his freshman year. He averaged
3:33
44 points again. Caitlin Clark averaged
3:36
26 points per game, so she played
3:38
way more games, but whatever! You can't
3:40
say any of that. She's now a
3:42
member of the Indiana fever rookie salary
3:44
of $76,000, but don't feel bad. She
3:46
signed a new Nike shoe deal worth
3:49
28 million. I'm
3:51
Mike Slater. Bill O'Reilly has your message
3:53
of the day. Next. Born
3:57
from the tragedy of 9-11, the tunnel
3:59
to towers found has been
4:01
delivering on its promise to do
4:03
good and never forget the sacrifices
4:05
of America's greatest heroes. Heroes who
4:07
put their lives on the line
4:09
to protect our country and our
4:11
communities. Heroes like Bristol Connecticut Police
4:13
Sergeant Dustin DeMonte. After responding to
4:15
a domestic violence incident, he sustained
4:17
fatal gunshot wounds. He left behind
4:19
his expectant wife and two children.
4:21
Thanks to the generosity of people
4:23
like you, Tunnel to Towers paid
4:25
the mortgage on the DeMonte family
4:27
home, lifting a financial burden. As
4:29
his loved ones mourned the decorated
4:31
officers loss, they welcomed a miracle, the
4:33
child he would never get to meet.
4:35
So many families need your help. Please
4:37
help America's heroes and their young families.

4:58
for the O'Reilly Update, Message of the Day.
5:00
On this Tuesday last week in Pennsylvania,
5:03
President Biden told the crowd that his
5:05
uncle was eaten by cannibals in
5:07
New Guinea during World War II. Quite
5:10
the headline, I'm sure you heard about it. Immediately
5:13
cannibals all over the world began
5:15
filing defamation suits. Subsequently
5:18
Biden's statement was corrected as Joe's uncle
5:20
was shot down over the Pacific never
5:22
to be seen again. But
5:24
really does it even matter what
5:26
Mr. Biden puts forth? Often
5:29
he clearly doesn't even know what he's saying.
5:32
Same thing with Donald Trump. He's
5:34
liable to say anything at any time. When
5:36
he's bored the words fly and
5:39
he's not checking Wikipedia for accuracy.
5:42
But does it matter? No it
5:44
does not. Those who
5:46
support Biden have to know he's way
5:48
out there. But they're okay with
5:50
it. His daughtering does
5:53
not penetrate their comfort
5:55
zones. Same thing
5:57
with the Don. MAGA folks
5:59
are comfortable. with him. Even
6:01
if he became a cannibal, many
6:04
would stay with him. Now,
6:08
I will understand both Joe and Don
6:10
are not capable of moderating their behavior.
6:13
Most people aren't. Over
6:15
the next seven months, the ridiculous
6:17
media will spend an enormous
6:19
amount of time mocking and attacking
6:22
what both presidential candidates say. But
6:24
that's largely useless. We
6:28
have all seen what
6:30
each has done in office,
6:33
and that should be what decides
6:35
it in November. Actions,
6:38
not words. I'm
6:40
Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by
6:42
writing it. You can reach me, Bill
6:45
at billoreilly.com, Bill at billoreilly.com, name
6:47
in town if you wish to
6:49
opine. Okay, mail,
6:51
mail, mail, mail. Virginia Luce
6:53
and over New Hampshire. Mr.
6:56
O'Reilly, love billoreilly.com. Listen to
6:58
you explain everything so I
7:00
can understand it. You're
7:03
interesting and very succinct. Thank you. I
7:05
appreciate the compliment of Virginia. My
7:07
question, where does all the money come from
7:10
that we give to other countries? It comes
7:12
from Congress, which
7:14
has lots of budget. And
7:16
then the actual money comes
7:18
from the Treasury Department. They
7:20
send the checks. Okay,
7:23
in the case of Ukraine and
7:25
Israel somewhat, we'll send actual weapons.
7:29
Okay, but once our money
7:31
gets into a foreign country, we
7:34
don't have audit capabilities. Always
7:36
remember that. Peggy
7:38
Davis Philadelphia, the main concern of voters
7:41
and Republicans in Congress are on giving
7:43
money to Ukraine is that they are
7:45
demanding there be accountability. There's not accountability
7:47
anywhere. This foreign
7:50
aid. What are we gonna do? Set
7:53
up firms to look at how they're
7:55
handling out of the aid. And not only for
7:57
USA, but you know NATO and all. All
8:00
of these countries are parnate in there, it's blunt
8:02
Putin. Terrence, as
8:04
they say, the witches in Salem
8:06
got a fairer trial than
8:08
Trump in New York. It
8:11
is a witch trial. It is a witch hunt. He's
8:14
right. Vicky, Jordan, O'Fallon,
8:16
Missouri, long time fan, respecter of
8:18
yours, Bill. I am
8:20
a constitutional conservative with a biblical worldview.
8:22
Where do I fit in? You got
8:25
plenty of company on that one, Vicky.
8:28
Plenty of company. Most
8:31
conservative traditional Americans are
8:34
straight down the line constitutionalists
8:37
and the religious
8:39
based Bible people. Very
8:42
common in the USA. You're not a minority. In
8:45
