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 6th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Trouble in paradise. Unanimous decision. Ice milestone. And this quarterback playing for another year. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Elon and the president. So Elon doesn't think that the big, beautiful bill cuts enough spending. That's to put it nicely.

So they had some back and forth on the X yesterday. Among other things, Elon said, without me, Trump would have lost the election. Dems would control the House and Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude. He later said, time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That's the real reason why they haven't been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.

Trump said, I've always liked Elon. And so I was very surprised you saw the words he had for me. And he hasn't said anything about me that's bad. I'd rather have him criticize me than the bill because the bill is incredible. The Supreme Court in a nine nothing decision in favor of an Ohio woman who wanted to bring an employment discrimination claim against the state, alleging she was passed over for a job on the basis of her heterosexual orientation.

The plaintiff, Marlene Ames, alleges that her employer, the Ohio Department of Youth Services, denied her a promotion and later demoted her, in both cases selecting gay candidates who were less qualified. Her supervisor at the time was also gay. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation.

They call this reverse discrimination, but it's just discrimination. Now, the ruling means that Ames' lawsuit can move forward, but doesn't necessarily mean that she will succeed in the case against her former employer.

Arrests by ICE during Trump's first term topped 100,000. ICE recorded more than 2,000 arrests each day of the previous two days, a nice increase from the most recent daily average of 660 arrests during the first 100 days of Trump's term. Stephen Miller has pushed ICE for a minimum of 3,000 arrests every day.

ICE has been holding around 54,000 immigrants detained in detention facilities across the country. The Trump administration is a part of the big, beautiful bill asking Congress to give ICE billions of dollars to have additional deportation officers and expand detention capacity to hold 100,000 individuals at any given point.

Aaron Rodgers will join the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 41-year-old quarterback has confirmed this decision. He was let go by the New York Jets at the end of last season, was considering retiring. Reports are the contract is $20 million. Rodgers will play his 21st season in the NFL. And who is the first game against? The Jets. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Friday, this time next year, 2026, there will be intense congressional campaigning going on coast to coast. The midterms in November 26th are historically important. That's because President Trump is redesigning the federal government and needs four years to accomplish his vision. If the Democrats gain control of the House or Senate, Mr. Trump will be severely constrained.

Much depends on whether Trump's bold moves will improve the economy. We'll know that late this year as data emerges. But another major factor is the radicalization of the Democratic Party. It opposes nearly every solution President Trump is putting forth. Cracking down on illegal immigration? No from the left. Cutting entitlement spending and downsizing government? Nope.

Stopping liberal indoctrination in colleges, Democrats oppose. Biological men competing against women in sports, Dems support. Tariffs to encourage fair trade, oppose. Strict punishment for criminals, no way. Hiring and school admissions based on skin color, all day long.

The list of progressive policies is endless, and it's like a python strangling the party. Do American voters really want to return to the Biden years? Are there prominent Democrats criticizing those years? Not that I can find. So the midterm campaigns are likely to be difficult for the left. And that, of course, is a big break for Donald Trump.

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 in town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. Susan is a concierge member that I, again, say best gift in the world for dad. Concierge membership to BillOReilly.com. Man, we give that to dad. He gets a free book along with it. And, you know, we help dad if he needs it. And

Big thing. Susan says, "O'Reilly, your suggestion of a solution for peace and prosperity with China in order to avoid warfare conflict with the USA. My objection is there must be trust between the two countries." No, there doesn't have to be trust between the two countries. This has to be a deal. They break the deal, they break the deal, then we take action about that. Who's going to trust China? Who?

No one. Do they trust us? No. That doesn't mean you can't make a deal. Donna, I'm learning so much about China's government and the Chinese people from your analysis. Well, I'm glad. That's why we, that's why I went over there. Okay. I wanted to really paint the picture. I think we did a pretty good job. We got columns and messages, everything on BillOReilly.com in case you're not up to speed on my China trip. It is all there.

Randy Combs, Anaheim Hills, California. "I wanted to tell you, Bill, that I really enjoyed your perspective on China, especially like the way you explained the various ways Chinese see us and what's important to them in the world. Made me feel like I was there." Thank you. You know, I'm a simple man and that is good. I break it down. I'm not telling you about the Ming Dynasty. I'm not bringing in the Yangtze River. I'm telling you this is the way it is now.

because it's the most important story on earth by far. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Vacation season officially underway. This summer, millions of Americans will enjoy the warm weather with road trips and flights to far off beaches. Here are the best travel destinations for 2025 as ranked.

by U.S. News & World Report. In the USA, top five starts with New York City, followed by San Diego, Vegas, Honolulu. But the number one destination in America, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The island's home to beautiful beaches, restaurants, and also some great white sharks.

The predators have been videotaped swimming just a few yards offshore where the tourists were oblivious. So if you're going to Cape Cod, you've got to keep your eyes on the water. Overseas, Americans are heading to the UK and Ireland in great numbers. Folks looking for tropical climates are going to Brazil, the Bahamas, Mexico. If you are going south of the border to Mexico, you better be careful.

Drug cartel violence is now rampant in all the resort areas. But the fastest growing trend is right here in the USA, camping. This summer, 42 million Americans will spend at least a night under the stars. Most popular destinations are the national and state parks. Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Big Sur, Yellowstone, Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Canyon.

While most folks travel for the natural beauty, another advantage is the price. The average campsite in the USA will set you back $15 a night. Between groceries, sleeping bags, flashlights, bug spray, a few days in the woods is less than $100. And here's something else you might not know. America's national park system is home to the most diverse ecosystems on Earth.

from the Florida Everglades swamps to the mountains of Alaska. The parks encompass 85 million acres of land, 18,000 animal species, 50,000 different plants. But tourists beware, parks are also home to some vicious predators. Grizzlies, wolves, pythons, alligators, polar bears, even killer bees. Bring that bug spray, but have a good time. 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.
