Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Wednesday, June 25th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Ceasefire hitting 5%. Impeachment vote fails.

and alligator Alcatraz. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, on Monday night, the president posted about a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. But a few more rockets were exchanged here and there. Donald Trump was upset. And when he was boarding Marine One, he was asked, what's going on? And the president said, Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a boatload of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel.

OK, when I say you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on him. So I'm not happy with him. I'm also not happy with Iran either. We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the blank they're doing. Do you understand that? Then he turned and walked away. Trump's spokesperson said that he had a phone call with Netanyahu and said President Trump was exceptionally firm and direct with the prime minister about what needed to happen to sustain the ceasefire.

The prime minister understood the severity of the situation and the concerns that President Trump expressed. One of the most absurd attacks from the left was that Trump doesn't support NATO, when what he really wanted was all the NATO members to pay their 2%, 2% of each nation's GDP towards NATO. And almost no one was doing that. The new target is 5% of every nation's GDP. The president sent out a message or reposted a text that he received from the leader of NATO saying,

He congratulated the president with Iran and then said, Donald, you're flying into another big success into the Netherlands this evening. It was not easy, but we've got them all signed on to 5%. Europe is going to pay in a big way as they should, and it will be your win. There are still nine NATO countries that don't even pay the 2%. Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Montenegro, and Croatia.

AOC has said that we should impeach Donald Trump for his actions in Iran. The president wrote on Twitter a very long post. Stupid AOC, one of the dumbest people in Congress, is now calling for my impeachment. Well, the House voted on impeachment, sort of. It was on to table the motion or not. But 128 Democrats voted with the Republicans to not impeach the president.

Florida has begun construction on alligator Alcatraz. There's an airfield in the Everglades. They want to turn that into a deportation center. The attorney general of the state said the state doesn't need to invest a lot of money in security because the area is surrounded by alligators and pythons.

The goal is to have 5,000 additional beds. Tom Holman said we can't deport the number of illegals we need to without more detention center space. The goal is to have some of the tents up and running by July. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly, he has 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.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Wednesday, here's something perplexing. On Monday, the stock market was up big. With the Iran chaos, it should have declined. I make my living analyzing important events, and this is mystifying. The financial pinheads have no blanking clue, of course, but they won't be honest and say that on television. Instead, they blather on, wasting everyone's time.

So, here's what I'm doing to protect myself from economic harm. I have sold all my speculative stocks. Not the time for them. Too much chaos in the world. I'm keeping conservative mutual funds and dividend-paying large corporation stocks. No crypto, no cloud, no trendy investments. I do believe things will eventually calm down,

and President Trump's overall vision will be successful. But that is what I want to believe. I can't back it up. I have no special insight into Trump's policies other than they are mostly logical. Finally, the Iran strike was the right thing to do. No question in my mind. The world will be safer, and the message is clear. Trump is not Biden.

There will be no surrender to the forces of evil. 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.

All right, let's go to the mail. Jonathan Cohen, St. Louis. Now that Iran's nuclear sites have been destroyed, what is to keep their allies such as China and Russia from sending the nuclear weapons? About severe sanctions and collapsed economies. If that ever happened, both Russia and China, they would be slapped in a way where they couldn't recover economically.

Neither country. So it's not going to happen. In fact, Putin's walking that back because that idiot was saying something about it. We got Heidi's a concierge member. My crew looks out for Heidi every day of the year. Concierge membership, Bill O'Reilly dot com. I learned so much from your daily comments, Bill. Many of them I share with my family, especially the one who still leans on the disturbing side. Not going to convince him or her.

Just not. People believe what they want to believe. Jonathan, concierge member. Thank you, Jonathan. Hello, Bill and staff. Please clarify the process for enriching uranium to make a bomb. So you want me to do a chemistry lesson here, Jonathan? Not qualified. You have to go to the Internet for that. I can't do it. Jeffrey Cater, Medford, Massachusetts. I saw you on Leland Vitter over the weekend. You delivered the most accurate commentary.

On Ocasio-Cortez, I ever heard you said the woman is a cartoon. I'm not diminishing her as a person, but her persona in the House of Representatives is cartoonish. I mean, that's the truth. Bill McDaniel, Fort Worth, Texas. Can Congress pass a law which would stop any future administration from opening the border like Biden did? Sure. It could beef up the immigration laws and the borders.

Congress should. Absolutely.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 149 years ago today, General George Armstrong Custer made his famous last stand in the Montana Territory. His gruesome death directly led to the downfall of America's most feared Indian chief. Here is the story.

After the Civil War, the United States focused on westward expansion, building railroads, towns, and military outposts across the plains toward the Pacific. Union General George Custer was a hero in the Civil War and was tasked with relocating the native tribes to reservations.

Those who failed to cooperate were considered enemy combatants. Chief Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse refused to comply with the U.S. government. On June 25, 1876, Custer and his cavalry unit stumbled upon Sioux and Cheyenne warriors in Montana. The battle was doomed from the beginning. Army scouts located Sitting Bull's camp but did not see

thousands of Native Americans camped along the Little Bighorn River. The arrogant Custer then ordered a surprise attack. Ninety minutes later, the general and 263 soldiers were dead, body stripped, scalped, and mutilated as a message to President Grant. Custer's body was found alongside the remains of 40 men, including his brother and nephew.

He was killed by two gunshots. And here's something else you might not know. The Indian victory over Custer ultimately led to destruction. Back east, the massacre enraged the American people. With public support, the U.S. Army intensified its war against Native Americans. Less than one year after the Bighorn,

Chief Crazy Horse surrendered at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, where he was killed by a U.S. soldier. Sitting Bull surrendered in 1881, was later murdered during a police raid on his home.
