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, April 1st, 2025. Here's what happening today in America. Liberation Day. Le Pen, banned, the same standard and the torpedo bat. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Trump will announce his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, what he is calling Liberation Day. This will be the first Rose Garden event of his second term. Our press secretary said that the president will be announcing a tariff plan that will roll back the unfair trade practices that have been ripping off our country for decades. He's doing this in the best interest

of the American worker. Surely the president will highlight the 50% tariff from the European Union on American dairy, the 300% tariff that Canada has on American butter and cheese, the 700% tariff from Japan on our rice, and 100% tariff from India on. on our agricultural products. Trump's point is reciprocal, right? You got a big tariff on us. Now we're going to put one on you. You want to lower your tariff, we'll lower ours.

Hopefully they'll all go to zero. A Paris court found that the leader of the political party called National Rally, Marine Le Pen, will be ineligible to run for public office for five years. That includes the upcoming presidential race. She was found guilty of embezzlement of European Union funds. There's also a four-year prison sentence with this as well, but it will probably just be probation with an electronic monitor, also 100,000 euro fine. She's appealing, but the ban from public office goes into effect immediately.

Le Pen was the frontrunner in the upcoming 2027 presidential election in France. Depending on the potential opponents, she's recording between 34 and 37% support, her closest rival, only 21% support. Now she's unable to even run for office. Pete Hegeseth has directed the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to develop plans to distinguish combat, arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations in order to identify which positions require quote heightened entry level and sustained physical fitness. He said these roles which are critical to our military's mission success demand exceptional physical capabilities and the standards for them must reflect that rigor. He said all combat roles are open to men and women, but

they must meet the same high standard. The New York Yankees on Saturday against the Brewers hit nine home runs, 16 hits. They started the game with three straight home runs, and then yesterday they won 12 to 3. One reason might be their newly designed bat. The bat is shaped where more wood is placed lower in the barrel. It looks like a bowling pin. Now, the league only stipulates that bats can be no longer than 42 inches or thicker

than 2.61 inches. The Yankees recently hired a former MIT physicist genius. He invented this new torpedo bat. We'll see if this is still. allowed moving forward. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith, Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next.

On this Tuesday, well, the three American show is a hit, according to more than 1,200 spectators at side, and they watch something unique. Three professional TV people with totally different points of view, discussing,

important issues with wit and perspicacity. Word of the day. Stephen A. Smith, Chris Cuomo and me, your humble correspondent, let it fly about Donald Trump, the troubled Democratic Party, DEI, the corrupt media, on and on. Opinions flew and were challenged. Stephen A and I disagreed on equity, but we did it in a friendly way. You don't correct historical problems by creating contemporary problems. You don't correct unfairness in the past by being unfair now. All right? If you are a college, an employer, or anybody else, and you have an opportunity, and you're going to say, well, I'm not going to take the best person unless it's the right color, or they're trans, or they're this, or they're that. That's wrong.

Okay, period. Wrong. May I retort? Sure. Hold on. I got them. Hold on. So there was no choir practice on the stage, people agreeing with everything.

And the mixed audience was respectful, perhaps mesmerized because this is so rare. Intense issues deliver with good humor and insight. No partisan blather. I don't know where the three Americans concept will lead. will lead? I do know. It's an important display. Honest, robust debate, laced with panache is very much needed in America.

Bill, I do not agree with you about your comments on the midterm elections. There's no way the Democrats will succeed no matter what the state of the USA is in. Gary, you know, people believe what they want to believe. Do the head count in the House. Do the head count in the Senate. Razor thin. Economy goes down. Hello, Democrats.

You don't have to believe it if you don't want, but the numbers are the numbers. Ronald, as for me, Hillary Clinton's irrelevant. Anyone who thinks what you have to say is meaningful. important doesn't have a grasp on the real world. Okay, I wrote my column. He said, she said, Hillary Clinton did a guest editorial in New York Times, and I analyzed it. Yeah, she might be irrelevant, but she's got a big platform. Kathy Dezenroth, El-Cardiniana, this is concerning your message of the day on Vladimir Putin. Why should we send troops into Poland, expose ourselves to a war? Europe should be handling a problem. Kathy, you could be an isolationist if you want,

But Europe can't stand up to Putin. Putin to do exactly what he wants to do. If you're okay with that, world will be in turmoil. Diane Williams, Wilmington, North Carolina, a nice town. I have a liberal friend who's an accountant. He told me his wealthy clients did better than his poorer clients in regards to the last Trump tax cuts. Of course, they did.

They have more money. So the cuts are across the board. If you have more money and taxes are cut across the board, and you're going to do better than somebody who doesn't have any money. Come on. It's all about fairness and stimulating the economy. In a moment, something you might not know. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast,

However, the judge took pity on Marvin Gay Sr. He gave him six years in prison and then suspended that sentence.
