But first, Trump wrote on truth social that Zelensky's recent comments are, quote, very harmful to the peace negotiator. with Russia. It's inflammatory statements like Zelensky's that make it so difficult to settle this war.

We're very close to a deal, but the man with no cards to play should now finally get it done. I'll like forward to being able to help Ukraine and Russia get out of this

We reported yesterday about health and human services banning certain petroleum-based food dyes.

In a speech yesterday, RFK Jr. said, we're going to have revolutionary change. This is my legacy and it's President Trump's legacy. I have a president now behind me who does not care about the haters. He's been called by every soda company, every candy company, every processed food company. And most of the time he says, I don't care. You do what you need to do. And I'm going to block for you. Things are going to change and they're going to change dramatically over the next four years.

Prosecutors have unsealed federal terrorism charges targeting an alleged high-ranking member of the Venezuelan Trenda-Aragua gang who was arrested in Colombia on March 31st. This person is the first alleged TDA member to be charged with terrorism offenses since Donald Trump declared this gang a terrorist organization. He was taken into custody in Colombia on March 31st. It's unclear when he'll be extradited to the United States. The Attorney General Pam Bondi said TDA is not a street gang. It's a highly structured terrorist organization that put down roots in our country during

the prior administration. Today's charges represent an inflection point. how this DOJ will prosecute and ultimately dismantle this evil organization, which has destroyed American families and poisoned our communities. In the Oval Office, President Trump was asked about Elon possibly scaling back his role in the government. The president said he's an incredible guy, a brilliant guy, a wonderful person, a great patriot, a tremendous help. He saved $200 billion and rising fast. He didn't need to do this, and I told him whenever you're ready. I heard him say he'll start easing. At some point, we'll have to let him go and do that. I'll talk to Elon about it.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, chalk up another media victory for President Trump as the boss of 60 Minutes, Bill Owens, is quitting. His statement says that CBS Paramount is making it impossible for the iconic program to maintain its independence. Now, there's much to this story that should be examined. Paramount is trying to sell the CBS operation to a company named Skydance, which is run by the son of billionaire Larry Ellison.

In order for that deal to happen, the federal government must sign off on it. That goes to the public airways thing. Enter President Trump, who is suing CBS, alleging the network helped Kamala Harris in violation of election laws. Mr. Trump, below 60 minutes, ever since correspondent Leslie Stahl refused to acknowledge that the Clinton campaign helped the Russian election interference corruption. Ms. Stahl would not admit that the Clinton campaign was involved, which it certainly was. So, the owners of Paramount CBS are scrutinizing all of the anti-Trump stuff on 60 minutes, and there's a lot of it.

Mr. Owens says, because of that, he cannot continue to work at the iconic program. It is worth noting that the hate Trump media is screaming the loudest about Mr. Owens' exiting. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Bill, are you saying you believe Trump will reach a deal with China? However, you also stated that Trump would reach a deal with China. with Putin. In fact, you said the deal was already before Trump even got into office. Why is you reporting on China more accurate than you're reporting on Putin? So Tanya's a little disenchanted with my report it. Okay, which fine. We like that. Okay, Tanya, here's the deal. The framework for a deal between Trump and Putin was discussed before the president was elected. Okay? and Putin says certain things, doesn't mean he's going to obey him, but that deal was formulated. I believe it will happen.

It's just if Putin's giving everybody a hard time. As far as China is concerned, I'm saying by my reporting. I think there will be a deal. Now, it takes time, Tanya. There's no magic wand, but we'll see. I hate that. We'll see. Because I criticize people saying. But you've got to give it some time. Reasonable amount of time.
