Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, June 17th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Should have taken the deal. Total air control. Senate reconciliation bill coming together. And Ohtani back on the mound. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign.

What a shame and a waste of human life. Simply stated, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said it over and over again. Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran. Trump left the G7 summit early. It's up in Canada, according to the press secretary, so that he could attend to many important matters. Trump left the G7 summit early.

Trump did not intend to sign a declaration from the G7 countries calling for a de-escalation between Israel and Iran. Trump said at the conference it's painful for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning this war. And they should talk. And they should talk immediately before it's too late.

Israel attacked the headquarters of Iran's state TV last night. An anchor woman was on the air and she wasn't speaking English. I don't know exactly what she was saying, but she didn't sound very happy. But then the building started to shake and lights went out and debris started to fall and people were screaming live on the air.

Before the strike, Israel's defense minister said in a statement that the mouthpiece of Iranian propaganda and incitement is about to disappear. Netanyahu said that he's not ruling out taking out Iran's supreme leader. Reports are that they had a chance to do it, but Trump told Israel not to.

The Senate Finance Committee's version of the one big beautiful bill is almost complete. The Republicans can only afford to lose three votes. Most of the opposition is Republicans who want more cuts than the House version. We're seeing some minor changes so far, but I mean, all of these could be deal breakers to...

different interests. The SALT cap in the House bill is $40,000 for those making less than $500,000 a year. The Senate's looking at only $10,000 in deductions. The Senate version has no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, but the House version has no cap on those. The Senate version has a cap at $25,000 in tips and $12,500 in overtime. The House reconciliation bill has a $4 trillion raise in the debt limit. The Senate has a $5 trillion. So, so far, not better than

Trump wants to get this done and signed by the 4th of July Shohei Otani made his return to the pitching mound yesterday after 21 months off with elbow surgery in the first inning 28 pitches 16 strikes one was 100.2 miles per hour gave up two hits and a run after the third out he doesn't go into the dugout he just puts on his batting gloves

let off the top of the order to start the game for the Dodgers. Ohtani has a 10-year, $700 million salary. I'm Mike Slater. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. Let's face it. The U.S. 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.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Tuesday back in November, 75 million Americans voted for Kamala Harris to lead the nation. That despite the fact she supported every single Biden policy. A stunning admission by her on The View. In addition, Ms. Harris is one of the most inarticulate presidential candidates ever. She makes silent Cal Coolidge look like Stephen A. Smith.

So it is my theory that the majority of Harris voters cast their ballots against Donald Trump rather than for the misguided Kamala. Thus, it was no surprise that a bunch of "No King" demonstrations unfolded across the country on Saturday. Thousands of Americans loathe Mr. Trump and will, no matter what he does,

In this age of narcissism, many folks will never admit mistakes and, if you're honest, you must concede the president makes it easy for opponents to dislike him. My assessment of Donald Trump is based on what he does, not what he says, because he changes his mind frequently and uses hyperbole to make points. So far, his policies are backing up his campaign promises.

Since more than 80 million Americans voted for him, the king thing seems dumb. Trump is doing what he said he would do. That's refreshing for his supporters, infuriating for the Biden-Kamala people. The USA will never crown a king, but watch out for the court jesters.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, Bill at BillOReilly.com, Bill at BillOReilly.com, name and town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. Jim Mundy, Richmond, Virginia. Kudos for your Sunday column, Bill. In just more than 400 words, you paint a clear picture of the relevant history behind what we're watching play out in the Middle East. Of course, I already knew some of the points, but you connected dots in a way that only a true student of history could do.

And I'm glad you read it. That's an important column. Okay. And I hope everybody takes the time to read it. And the facts are all there. Undisputable. Bozina Hodge, Orange, California, your 61325 column should be shouted from the rooftops precisely outlines the Tehran mess and who is really responsible. I don't know if Obama and Biden are responsible. They certainly strengthened the mullahs.

Both men made them stronger. John Holland, Rockledge, Pennsylvania. Mr. Riley, keep hearing. We had an agreement with Iran that Obama made, but Trump ripped it up. Is that true? Yes. Obama and John Kerry, you remember? They had a deal that Iran violated and Trump ripped it up and imposed severe sanctions in his first term.

Rick Lutz, Crescent Springs, Kentucky. Why should individuals that are living off government support free housing, utilities, food stamps, and a check each month? Be given a bonus check for filling out their taxes each year. About 50 million Americans, Rick, totally depend on the U.S. government for their existence. About 50 million. A lot of kids in that group. That's the safety net. The federal government provides them enough

money, food, entitlements to survive. That's what it is. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. It is likely over for the mullahs of Iran. Last week, the Israeli Air Force bombed multiple sites in Tehran with little opposition. Since the Islamic Revolution, religious zealots have ruled Persia with absolute power.

That may soon come to an end, hopefully. Here's a brief rundown. After World War II, Iran was ruled by a pro-Western monarch called the Shah. For support, he gave control of Iranian oil fields to the USA and Great Britain. That deal remains the largest transfer of wealth in human history, total value $7 trillion, enraged by the Shah's lavish livestock.

The Islamists overthrew them in 1979. Dozens of hostages were seized at the U.S. Embassy. Ayatollah Khomeini, returned from exile in France, was anointed the supreme leader. The pro-Western government evaporated overnight. The new regime created thousands of Islamic committees to enforce Muslim law. Women were ordered to cover their hair.

Independent newspapers banned. American media eliminated from TV. Political opponents assassinated. Today, the clerics are even more powerful and fanatical. Insulting the Prophet Muhammad, same-sex relationships, consuming alcohol, all can carry a death sentence. Transgendered people are automatically categorized as prostitutes and imprisoned.

Women who have an affair with a Muslim man are given 100 lashes with a leather whip. Those who have an affair with a non-Muslim are executed. The mullahs maintain complete control with an extensive network of torture and military prisons. The UN estimates there are currently 250,000 Iranians in jail for so-called religious crimes. At least 1,000 are executed every year.

Adulterers are stoned. Political opponents hanged. Homosexuals thrown off buildings. For more information about this unbelievable brutality of Iran, please check out my upcoming book, Confronting Evil, out September 9th. Back after this.
