And more like astronauts. It's all coming out. Then Bill's going to appear with your message at the day. But first, the senator from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen said he was denied entry into the El Salvador prison to check on the well-being of the Maryland father. There was also an MS-13 gang member, Kilmar Abrago Garcia. Obviously, he was denied entry. The Democrat Senator said at a news conference that his car was stopped by soldiers at a checkpoint,

three kilometers from the terrorism confinement center. Meanwhile, Congressman Sri Tenadar from Michigan said the administration's actions warrant an impeachment for not abiding by a Supreme Court order. That would be clear, the order from the Supreme Court agreed with a lower court that the administration must facilitate Abrago Garcia's return, but the court did not uphold the lower court's order to effectuate his return. Facilitate and effectuate are two very different things. Speaking of the Supreme Court, they have agreed to hear a case to end birthright citizenship. This case is about interpreting the 14th Amendment, which was written right after the Civil

War, and in my opinion was clearly about the children of slaves, not illegal immigrants. This is in response to Trump's executive order that ends the anchor baby policy where 250,000 anchor babies are given citizenship every year. That's 250,000 babies born to illegal alien parents. Years later, those children can sponsor their illegal alien parents and foreign relatives for green cards. Tom Holman said, I think the Supreme Court finally needs to answer that question. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I can read. No one can ever predict a Supreme Court decision. there was a mass shooting at Florida State University's campus in Tallahassee. What's reported so far, the murderer fired 15 rounds.

He reportedly is the son of a local sheriff deputy. Two people were killed, six injured. Police believe he was the only shooter involved. Gail King and Katie Perry have demanded to be known as astronauts because of their four-minute sensation of weightlessness. But apparently they weren't in a place where there actually was no gravity. It's just that the force of dropping made them feel weightless for a while. Well, the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, has weighed in.

He said that crew members who travel into space must have demonstrated activities during the flight that were essential to public safety or contributed to human space flight safety. The crew who flew to space this weekend on an automated flight by Blue Origin were brave and glam, but you cannot identify as an astronaut. They do not meet the FAA astronaut criteria.

We now live in a secular country where materialism dominates the culture. The pursuit of Ware's mind has replaced out of many one. That means personal sacrifice and loyalty to God and country is evaporating. Very tough to reach greater good

territory when it's every citizen for his or herself. Yet the traditional sideposts for remain, even if spring break has replaced Easter vacation. Churches, synagogues, mosques, beckon. But their appeal in a secular society is diminished, not to mention being away from the cell phones for an hour or more. Finally, faith in the country also on the decline. As the media pumps out cynicism night after night, many citizens simply disengage. Why should we bother with such a corrupt system? That kind of thing. So all of this is not good, in my opinion, and it's something to ponder this spiritual week. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

uh let's go to the mail we got linda clang and point lookout new york hey bill i'm confused is there presently a 10% across the board tariff happening um i appreciate the pause in the tariffs but want to know why there are any at all just what i told bowling uh linda the vat tax jacks up the price of all American goods going into Europe. It's not a tariff, but anybody buying U.S. products got to pay that tax. So what Trump has done is put a 10% on everybody else so we don't get hosed in the tax realm. We got Frank, concierge member. Trump's tariffs problems having yet been resolved,

his battle with China could cause a lot more losses in the stock market. I don't trust his financial advisors like Peter Navarro. Hey, nothing we can do about it. He's a president, right? I'm not going to, I'm not telling you any of these guys are geniuses. I mean, but he's the president. Ruth, I've been concerned a long time and the amount of land, real estate, and debt China owes in the U.S.

How much is it? How do I know? China's not showing me it's books. China buys stuff through companies in America. They're not going to tell you what they have. It's a totalitarian regime. Mike Clark, Baldwin, New York, I'm trying to understand why China, communist country needs U.S. dollars to finance its military buildup.

We will have this tomorrow in the talking points memo. I'm just going to give you a preview, Mike. So we had a guest on last week, an expert in Chinese trade, said China is not using the vast amount of money it takes out of the U.S. every year for its military. military. That is not true. And tomorrow you'll see it. All right. So pretty interesting. In a moment, something you might not know. Hawaii starts with the music we play on our islands, playing the moment you step on the plane.

Today there are 2.4 billion Christians around the world and Jesus is the most famous person who ever lived. How did that happen? Some of you might know

that I wrote the history book, killing Jesus. No religion in it. It's all about the Nazarene and what actually happened during his short lifetime. We do not use the Gospels as source material. My co-author Martin Dugard traveled to Israel. The government there let us look into the archives and find out actual things that happened surrounding the death of Jesus. We then researched in Italy. Emperor Tiberius was in power back then, and the Romans killed. very detailed records. Here is what we know to be true. The Nazarene was born to Joseph and Mary. Herod wanted to kill him because Herod thought he was a threat. It had been written in scripture that a Messiah would be born in Judea. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus,

fled to eastern Egypt and hid out for a while before returning to Nazareth, where Jesus became a stone cutter. Many people believe he was a carpenter, but that's not true. There were no trees. Everything was made of stone. In short order, Jesus captured the attention of thousands of people, and here is a startling fact. They could not hear him. He didn't have a microphone. They could see him, but they couldn't hear him. But thousands flocked to his mission. Why?

We believe it was because of the healings. Back after this. Hi, I'm Tricia, your friend and jeweler at Shane Company, where we're all about you, your style, your budget, your dream engagement ring.
