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 Friday, June 27th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Parliamentarian derails, state sued, GE coming home, and meteors across the sky. It's all coming up, and Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Republican senators speaking out against the Senate president.

parliamentarian, as we reported yesterday, because she took out part of the one big beautiful bill that bans illegal aliens from getting Medicaid. So now they can continue to get Medicaid. John Thune, the leader of the Senate, said he won't go against the parliamentarian's decision. Many Republicans agreeing that they won't overrule her, but they're trying to tweak the language so they can get it past this unelected bureaucrat.

Tommy Tuberville from Alabama says she's got to go. He said this is a perfect example of why Americans hate the swamp. Unelected bureaucrats think they know it's better than U.S. congressmen who are elected by the people. Her job is not to push a woke agenda. The Senate parliamentarian should be fired ASAP.

DHS posted a list of illegal aliens who have been arrested in Los Angeles, a sanctuary city. These are people that LA has been giving sanctuary to. The list goes on, but a male from Cuba arrested for murder, burglary, armed robbery. A Mexican MS-13 gang member convicted for sexual assault with a deadly weapon. He was order removed in 1997. A legal alien from Vietnam convicted of 22 crimes. One Egyptian man was deported after he kicked a Border Patrol beagle.

70-year-old Egyptian. He's in Egypt right now. The Trump administration is also suing Minnesota to block them from giving reduced tuition to illegal aliens. There was a similar lawsuit against Kentucky, the Department of Justice claiming that the state is unconstitutionally discriminating against American students who are not offered the same reduced in-state tuition that illegal aliens are offered.

GE is shifting their production of washing machines from China to Louisville, Kentucky. A $490 million investment, 800 new jobs. The CEO said, we are bringing laundry production to our global headquarters in Louisville because manufacturing in the U.S. is fundamental to our zero-distance business strategy to make appliances as close as possible to our customers and consumers. GE Aerospace said they'll invest nearly a billion dollars in American manufacturing and hire 5,000 new workers.

Across the country, 139,000 workers were added to payrolls just in May. People saw fireballs streaming across the sky yesterday in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Believed to be a meteor, National Weather Service said that earthquake you felt was the result of a sonic boom from the meteor. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Friday, reporters and news analysts should not become emotionally involved with stories or the people that are involved with those stories. Best example, President Trump. The haters and the cheerleaders are doing a disservice to honest journalism.

I perfectly understand why the president wants positive news coverage and rewards those who provide it. But I don't have a hard time covering the man fairly, even though I've known him for three decades. I simply analyze what he does, not what he says. That's because Donald Trump uses rhetoric and social media as a negotiating tool.

Things change minute to minute with him. Over the years, the president has been frustrated with me, but I never took it personally. He wants what he wants. All powerful people are like that. Putin will actually poison you if you get out of line. So far, President Trump, in my opinion, is doing the right thing on national security. The economy is undefined. Woke is on the run, which is a good thing.

Mr. Trump is a high-stakes gambler, no question. Tariffs, bombs, migrant roundups. The nation has never seen a president like this. It all might make America stronger or not. A definition will become clear fairly soon. And we here will cover it fairly.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, [email protected], [email protected], name and town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Perry Capitani, Garden City, New York on Long Island, "Seems through the failure of Israeli and U.S. forces to destroy access roads to the nuclear facilities was a huge oversight." How do you know? With all due respect, how do you know? We don't know.

I'm not going to Monday morning quarterback this because I don't know. You know, the reports, there's nobody there. Hey, Matt Hanson, Midvale, Utah. Hey, Bill, can you articulate how a nuke being fired from Iran would affect us? I have a lot of isolation Republican friends. As I just said, any kind of nuke or wide war,

He's going to disrupt the whole worldwide economy. And you're going to pay a lot more for everything. Let's keep it simple, okay? You cannot have that. Somebody sets off a nuke? Come on. The whole world goes into chaos. Phil Porpora, Lake Bluff, Illinois. Why is President Trump complaining about Fed Chief Jerome Powell? Doesn't he have the authority to fire him? No. Fed is totally independent. It's not a government agency. You can't fire him.

That's why he's complaining. Tom Stoner, Kuka Park, New York. My question is, what's more expensive for the American taxpayer, funding a person with Medicare, Medicaid, or paying for that person to go to a hospital when they are in need? You're correct that all people in this country have access to hospital emergency rooms if something happens to them. That's the law.

In a moment, something you might not know. You may get a little excited when you shop at Burlington. I'm saving so much!

Burlington saves you up to 60% off other retailers' prices every day. Will it be the low prices or the great brands? Burlington. Deals. Brands. Wow. I told you so. Styles and selections vary by store. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. On this day in 1950, President Harry Truman deployed thousands of U.S. soldiers to East Asia. Just a few years after vanquishing the Empire of Japan,

America faced a new threat in the Pacific: communism. Here's the story of the Korean War. After the Japanese surrender, the Korean Peninsula was cut in half. The Soviets controlled the North, Americans the South. In 1947, elections were held, but the Communists refused to honor elections. The Korean People's Republic, a Marxist state, was established in the North. Russia really ruled it, and puppet dictators

expedited the Russian policy. Two years later Mao Zedong seized control of China. On June 25th, 1950, 100,000 North Korean troops stormed the South. Harry Truman announced to the world the United States would intervene. On Sunday, June 25th, communist forces attacked the Republic of Korea. This attack has made it clear beyond all doubt

that the international communist movement is willing to use armed invasion to conquer independent nations. An act of aggression such as this, it creates a very real danger to the security of all free nations. The Korean conflict nearly caused another world war. Chinese soldiers entered the fight in '51. In retaliation, General Douglas MacArthur wanted to drop nuclear bombs on China.

Truman fired him because of MacArthur's insubordination, even though MacArthur was a popular figure when he came back to the USA. For three years, American soldiers clashed with the Communists. The southern capital of Seoul changed hands four times. The Allies dropped more ordnance on Korea than the entire Pacific theater of World War II. The fighting left three million civilians dead.

800,000 North Koreans killed in combat. 40,000 Americans perished. Another 100,000 wounded. And here's something else you might not know. The Korean War is technically still going on. North and South Korea signed a ceasefire in July 1953, but they have not made friends back after this.

Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly Update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts, and always looking out for you. Welcome to It Takes Energy, presented by Energy Transfer, where we talk all things oil and natural gas. Oil and gas drive our economy, ensure our country's security, and open pathways to brighter futures.

When it comes to meeting the world's energy needs, more is better. What we mean is our world needs a wide range of energy sources to meet our increasing needs. Just wind or solar won't get us there, as the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. With our growing population and the increasing use of energy-demanding technologies like AI, reliability is key.

and the reliability of natural gas is unmatched by wind and solar. That doesn't mean we all can't work together, but natural gas is vital to ensuring we meet our energy needs. Look around, and you'll see the essential role oil and gas plays in our lives. Our world needs oil and gas, and people rely on us to deliver it. To learn more, visit energytransfer.com.
