Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Friday, April 26, 2024. Here's what's happening today in America. Immunity or not to immunity. Weinstein conviction overturned.

Commencement canceled and something that will make us all feel old. And that's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first three hours of oral arguments about, Donald Trump's immunity. The question is, can a president be charged for crimes for things he does in office as the president that are related to his job? Trump's lawyers claim that you cannot hold a president or former president in a criminal trial until first he's been impeached and convicted in the Senate. If he hasn't been, and Trump never was, then there can't be

a criminal trial. His lawyer said, why was Obama not charged for any crimes for bombing with drones U.S. citizens in the Middle East. Could Biden be charged with crimes for opening up our border? The progressive justices said, well, hold on, so a president can murder someone and not be charged with a crime? Justice Jackson said that something can't be an official act if he also benefits personally. It's a 6 to 3 court. Three of them were put on the court by Donald Trump.

The decision will be released late July. The rape trial of Harvey Weinstein has been overturned by New York's highest. court, a four to three opinion found the trial judge, the trial judge, erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying claims and portrayed the defendant in a highly prejudicial light. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said they will retry the Weinstein case if the alleged victims are willing to come forward again. One of the victims said it's a stark reminder of the male entitlement that persists in our society.

USC, University of Southern California, is the first university to cancel their commencement address and graduation ceremony because of the pro-Hamas-Palestine demonstrations, many more universities surely to follow. 93 people were arrested by the LAPD the other day for trespassing. The main commencement ceremony at USC is usually attended by 65,000 people. The class valedictorian said that this move was a result of an anti-Muslim and anti-Palestimese. Palestinian campaign of racist hatred. In today's Make You Feel Old story of the day, Charlie Woods teed off yesterday to try to qualify for the U.S. Open. Yes, that's Charlie Woods, Tiger Woods, son.

He didn't make it. Shot 9 over 81, three double bogeys. That's not going to cut it. But he's 15. His dad turned pro when he was 20. Bill O'Reilly has your message today. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday in the summer of 2016, I was grilling some burgers in the backyard when the cell phone rang. It was then candidate for President Donald Trump, calling to shoot the political breeze. This was not unusual, as I've known Mr. Trump for three days. decades, and we occasionally chat about all kinds of things, most of which I keep confidential, even the stuff about how the Mets can never quite get it together. On that call in 16, Trump was venting about the press, which had recently turned against him with a ferocity that was disturbing.

At first, CNN and others couldn't get enough of candidate Trump because he brought high ratings. So they kissed his behind. But that quickly changed when he bested the Republican primary field. As the candidate took a breath on the other end of the phone, I said, let's do this on the air tomorrow. I'll give you eight minutes of factor time. Trump said he was otherwise engaged, but his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was available. No, I said.

Why? Trump countered. Because he's a weasel, and we are not a pet emporium. Donald Trump went silent. I then wrapped it up by positing something like, you better not trust this guy. Yes, I'm somewhat of a sage. But that wasn't even a hard call.

I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish to opine. Okay, let's go to the mail. Gregory Pappas, Plymouth, Michigan.

We can't allow Russia to take Ukraine, but make no mistake, the U.S. and NATO better get ready to send money and material support to Ukraine for several years or longer. Putin will not give up. I believe that Donald Trump is elected president. There will be a settlement in Ukraine.

I could be desperately wrong on that. But talking to Trump, he's confident he can get Putin to the table, and he's done it in the past. But you're right, Putin is a sociopath, he's not going to admit defeat. But if he can't move, then it behooves him to get some kind of stalemate treaty. Jim Gable, Morgantown, North Carolina, if Ukraine wins and keeps its own country, isn't that a Putin defeat? but Putin will carve out Don Bass and a few others and he'll say hey we won

that's how the game is played Melissa Sanborn Redlands California why would you think O'Reilly your statement about not wanting to be Biden on Judgment Day would be controversial anyone who believes in God would agree I don't know about that I'm being pretty harsh on Joe Biden

by saying I wouldn't want to be him in front of St. Peter however the judgment goes down. I'm being pretty harsh on them. I don't know if everybody would agree with that. I don't think so. Mark, concierge member, thank you, Mark. The media propaganda fest wouldn't be possible without 50% of the population being either brain dead or on drugs or hopelessly selfish. That's true. I mean, there are millions of people who watch MSNBC. millions. They don't do well, but over a period of a week, you get tuned in at that level.

In the USA, the top five starts with the Grand Canyon, followed by San Diego, Yellowstone National Park, and Honolulu. The number one destination in the USA, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The peninsula is home to beautiful beaches, but also there are a number of great white sharks swimming around. The predators are often seen just a few yards from oblivious tourists. That is not good. There have already been this year 150 sightings of Great Whites near Cape Cod.

Overseas Americans are heading to the U.K. and Ireland. Folks looking for tropical climates are jetting to the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Mexico. But if you're going south of the border, beware. Cartel violence now rampant, and tourists are not protected, generally speaking. The number one destination for international travel this summer is Paris, France. The French capital is hosting the Summer Olympics in July and August. In total, the City of Light will be a temporary home to 15,000 athletes, 20,000 journalists, 50,000 volunteers, and 15 million visitors from every country on earth.

With war raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, French authorities are worried about terrorism. President Macron announced last week that his government has an alternative plan, should intelligence agencies suggest a terror attack is imminent. And here's something else you might not know. The most popular destination for Americans this summer is staying at home. Half of adults say they plan to enjoy local parks, beaches, and sports less than an hour from their house. Stacations, I hate that word, but it is popular. Back after this.
