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 3rd, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. A planned attack. An unsolvable mystery. New Southwest policies. And will it be a Superman smash? That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the terrorist who tried to kill Jews in Boulder, Colorado, injured 12 people.

He's been charged with a federal hate crime and 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder. The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Salomon, told investigators he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them himself. He took a concealed carry class to learn how to fire a gun, but he had to use the Molotov cocktails after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen.

He overstayed his tourist visa, and after he overstayed his visa, the Biden administration granted him a work permit. He told police he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead. He said he would do the attack again. He's a father of five, and he said he's been planning the attack for over a year, but waited until his daughter graduated high school to carry it out. Washington Post wrote an article with the headline, The Mysterious Drop in Fentanyl Seizures at the U.S.-Mexico Border.

Fentanyl seizures at the border have gone down from an average per month of 1,700 pounds to 746 pounds. A White House spokesperson said the drop in fentanyl seizures at the border is only a mystery to the Washington Post and anyone with Trump derangement syndrome. Everyone else knows the simple truth. President Trump closed our border to illegal drug traffickers and Americans are safer because of it. Apprehensions along the U.S. border also dropped 95% April of this year from April of last year.

Southwest Airlines has officially ended their free bag policy. They will now charge for checked bags just like every other airline. $35 for the first bag, $45 for the second. People will also now have assigned seating instead of their open seating policy.

Southwest also has a new policy where all portable charging devices have to be visible. They can't be in a bag or overhead bin while they're being charged. This is in case they light on fire, they can be easily put out. Well, the day the policy went into effect, a flight from Baltimore to Tampa had to be redirected because a portable battery began to smoke. The new Superman movie is coming out July 11th. Don't know why it's not on Netflix.

Fourth of July. It's a $225 million budget. Needs to make $700 million to be a success. No superstar actors in this version. There's been nine Superman movies from 1948 to the most recent one in 2013. I'll tell you right now if it'll be a success or not. Is it woke? There's no sign that it is yet, but also no proof that it's not either. The first sign that there's any wokeness in the movie and it'll be a total flop.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Tuesday, I'm back in the USA from the Far East. For me, a very positive development, not being nationalistic here, but the USA has far more options than any other country. There's not even a close second. Here's some quick observations from the road.

We saw very few American vehicles in Japan, China and South Korea. The trade con is absolutely a reality. The Trump tariff war has some context. All three airlines we used, Air Japan, China Air, Korean Airways, are better than the U.S. carriers. It shouldn't be this way, obviously. Korean Air offered the best experience of the three.

The average American lives far better than his or her counterpart in the Far East. There's absolutely no comparison. Most folks over there are jammed into small apartments. Compared to North Asian environments, we Americans are slobs. The public areas are very clean in Japan, China, and Korea, and most folks have a neat appearance, although their clothing is modest. By contrast, many American tourists look terrible.

tattoos, polyester, sweat clothing, just dismal. Not many Americans wandering around Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, and Seoul. Probably a good thing. Language barrier is significant, and they have, thanks so much, down but little else. I've now seen most of Asia. Each country is very different. Historical bitterness remains, but not much hostility on display in public. I learned a lot.

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. Now let's go to the mail. All right, I'm only going to read one letter because I had the letters at the top of the program.

Two, I got Susan Atkins in Ontario, Canada. Hey, Bill, just curious, you were friends with Donald Trump before he became a politician. Did you ever think of him as president? No. My line was at a Knick game. He said, I might run for president. I go, what country? Bolivia needs somebody? I had no idea. He proved me wrong. Whoa.

And there was a letter that says, hey, you're invited to speak over in Beijing to the communists, but colleges won't invite you to speak in America. And that's true. They're afraid of me because they don't want the radical crazies to do what they would inevitably do. They can't control their campuses. So I can speak in Beijing under the most stringent surveillance state in the world, but I can't go and talk at any college in America.

Styles and selections vary by store. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Nine years ago today, one of the greatest athletes of all time died after a three-decade struggle with Parkinson's disease. His death ended a controversial life.

that span from the boxing ring to the civil rights movement. Here is the story of Muhammad Ali. Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, the loquacious young man became the world heavyweight boxing champion after defeating Sonny Liston in 1964. The 22-year-old soon joined the Nation of Islam, changing his name to Muhammad from Cassius. The move bitterly divided sports fans at the time.

Ali successfully defended his title six times, including a rematch with Liston. In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, the champ was drafted to serve in the army, but he refused to go. Said Ali, quote, Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? Unquote.

Well, Muhammad Ali was soon convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years, fined $10,000, stripped of his title, banned from boxing for three years. He avoided prison time while the Supreme Court weighed his appeal. In 1971, the judges sided with Muhammad Ali, supporting his claim that he refused to join the army for religious reasons. Muhammad returned to boxing, soon became the only three-time heavyweight champion in history,

He then retired in 1979, but took an enormous amount of punishment over all those years. Three years later, he confirmed his diagnosis of Parkinson's. Ali battled a disease in public, often appearing at events with trembling hands and a shuffling gait. He spoke in a whisper. Ali died on June 3rd, 2016, at his home in Arizona. He was 74.
