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 24th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. The 12-Day War.

fire up the deportation planes, New York City primary, and a 4th of July deadline. That's all coming up. And Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, yesterday at 8.30 p.m. Eastern, Donald Trump sent out the following message. Congratulations to everyone. It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down their

and completed their in-progress final missions for 12 hours, at which point the war will be considered ended.

Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world. During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will. I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war. This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't.

and never will. God bless Israel. God bless Iran. God bless the Middle East. God bless the United States of America. And God bless the world. Another huge Trump win in the Supreme Court. They ruled six to three that the Trump administration can indeed deport illegal aliens to third countries. That's a country where they have no previous ties. Countries like Rwanda and the South Sudan. This is the holy grail of self-deportation.

An illegal alien in America made me think, well, I'll wait it out. What's the worst that can happen? They sent me back to Mexico. Now the calculus is we better get out of here. I don't want to get sent to Rwanda. The spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said fire up the deportation planes. The majority gave no explanation for their decision, but all three of the court's progressive women wrote a dissent.

New York City has their Democratic primary for mayor today. Andrew Cuomo is the more mainstream candidate versus a Muslim communist from Uganda. That's all true. He's a member of the Democratic Socialist of America Party. It's ranked choice voting. But if these two make it to the top two, the latest poll has the Muslim communist from Uganda leading by four.

John Thune, the majority leader in the Senate, says they are on track to pass the one big beautiful bill by the 4th of July. He said, the one thing I've discovered in my time in Washington is that if you don't put deadlines out there, nothing gets done. And this stuff can drag on and on endlessly. Once the Senate passes it, the House has to pass it again. Still unclear if that will happen. So it doesn't look like the president will get it signed by the 4th of July. But as we've seen these last 12 days, wouldn't put anything past him.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Tuesday, critics of President Trump now say his decision

The pull out of the nuke deal with Iran in 2018 is the cause of the military confrontation today. So let's take a fact-based look at that accusation. President Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry secured a deal with the mullahs in 2015. Iran agreed to stop weaponizing uranium in return for $1.7 billion in frozen funding and other relief on sanctions.

After assuming office in 2017, Mr. Trump believed Iran was cheating on a deal saying quote, "In the years since the deal was reached, Iran's military budget has grown by almost 40%," which was true. Mr. Trump continued, "After the sanctions were lifted, the dictatorship used its new funds to build nuclear-capable missiles, support terrorism, cause havoc. The agreement was so poorly negotiated

that even if Iran fully complies, the regime is still on the verge of a nuclear breakout in a short period of time." Now the other countries involved with the nuke deal dissented and stayed in it. Germany, France, and the UK issued a joint statement saying they disagree with Trump pulling out. But of course, Iran upped its cheating in the latest report. The IAEA, that's the UN weapons inspectors, says Amal has violated the agreement by enriching uranium

from the agreement of 3.6% to 60%. So who's zooming who here? Iran took the Obama money, abused the deal, and now is causing havoc. That's why Trump bombed them. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Okay, we got Tim, concierge member. My team is at Tim's service, which is a good thing to have. Why would anyone condemn the destruction of a country's nuclear capability when that country has vowed to destroy Israel? That kind of thing cannot go unpunished. Not just Israel, it's us. Rick Ramdeni, Argyle, Washington. What risk of a nuclear explosion was there in the raid? None. They don't have the bomb.

They're enriching uranium to make the bomb. Now, radiation. George Boyer, Perth, Australia. I've always wanted to go to Perth. I don't know if I ever get there. It's not an easy place to get to on the west coast of Australia. Hey, Bill, it's absolutely necessary to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon, but why was Kim Jong-un allowed to develop one? Because that was 2003, and the Russians were helping him, and the Chinese probably were helping him.

And nobody knew about it. And he's not the party to any international treaties. That was back. Libel Carmel, Lakewood, New Jersey. Bill, you're the only moral voice to point out that Iran and Hamas are trying to kill as many innocent Jews as they can and consider it successful when they do. In my book, Confronting Evil, the prologue is about the Hamas raid.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 38 years ago today, one of America's most influential comedians died in Florida. His legendary career forever changed the entertainment industry. Here is the story of Jackie Gleason.

In the early 1950s, working Americans were ignored largely on television. Biggest programs of the day were the nuclear families like The Andy Griffith Show, Leave it a Beaver, Father Knows Best, but enter Mr. Gleason. Born in 1916, New York City to Irish immigrants, Jack grew up in poverty. He began performing at local clubs doing magic and eventually landed small roles in movies. He then turned to TV.

Gleason's program, The Honeymooners, debuted in 1955, became an immediate sensation. The show features a hot-headed Brooklyn bus driver, Ralph Cramden, and his wife, Alice. Well, I have got news for you, Ralph. You and Norton and some of the men in this building can learn a lot from Carlos. He happens to be a gentleman, Ralph, and that seems to be something that you have forgotten all about.

He treats us like women. That's something you've forgotten too, Ralph. You seem to have forgotten that I am a woman. I forgot that you're a woman? How could I? You're always yapping.

What do you mean I don't treat you like a woman? I treat you like a woman. I let you sew. I let you cook. I let you wash the windows. I let you clean up. Boys don't do that, Alice. Despite being regarded as one of the most influential programs in TV history, The Honeymooners had a very short run, just 39 episodes airing over 11 months. After the finale, Jackie Gleason launched his own variety show, then appeared in numerous TV programs and films.

Gleason died June 23, 1987 from colon cancer. He was 71. And we have another wrinkle to Jackie Gleason. He became a first-rate actor. The Hustler, remember that? And the dopey, smokey, and abandoned situation? Gleason actually won an Oscar. Really a legend back in a moment.
