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 7th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. Men in women's sports goes to the Supreme Court. Police arrest a would be copycat killer, the IRS stepping up enforcement, and Disney stepping up their wokeness. It's all coming up. Then Bill, of course, will be here with your message of the day. So a 12-year-old boy wants to compete. on the girls track and field team. It's a middle school. So West Virginia then passed a law in 2021 saying, no, you can't do that.

Boys can't compete against girls. Amazing that this would even need to be a law. The boy sued and then a court blocked the law. Well, enter the Supreme Court for an emergency hearing and that was denied. So for now, the boy in West Virginia can compete against girls. But Alito said this is an important issue and the justices are likely to be required to address it in the near future. Police in Colorado have arrested a transgender person with a communist manifesto for allegedly planning a mass shooting at schools and churches in the area. The arrest happened on

March 31st. That was just three days after that. Other transgender person murdered six Christians, including three nine-year-olds. In this case, in Colorado, it's a man who goes by she-her pronouns, 19 years old. A family member called police. But remember, it's the transgender people who are the real victims. Now, no one has ever pointed to a single transgender person who's been the victim of violence since the Nashville shooting, but we still got to be on the lookout for anti-trans backlash. There's so much backlash, only Nike, Bud Light, and Jack Daniels this week have supported drag queens. What in the world is going on?

The IRS released their new strategic operation plan, and they said they're going to use their $80 billion in new funding to increase audits on the richest Americans by 10x, 10 times as many audits. The new IRS commissioner, the chief tax collector, said he wants the IRS to be a world-class customer service operation. In 2019, the IRS audited 0.4% of taxpayers earning at least half a million dollars. In 2011, it was 4%. Not 0.4, but 4%.

Disney has their new live-action little mermaid movie. I don't even know how that's possible. And they changed the lyrics of some of their songs, because the songs were very offensive. Top of the list, kiss de girl. Because Eric doesn't have consent. But she can't talk. So poor guy, his life would be destroyed today for leaning in.

The movie comes out May 26. It'll probably bomb like all the other Disney movies recently. Go, whoa, go broke. Let's make that more true than ever. Bill with your message of the day. Next. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the show. Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose

inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday, you can be sure she and Putin are having a blast watching the latest political fiasco in the USA.

Both men are brutal dictators, of course, who sneer at dissent and due process. To them, the Trump legal circus is just another example of America's decline. In Russia and China, a person like Stormy Danube, would quickly disappear along with anyone else who threatened those in power. In the USA, Ms. Daniels is a celebrity who is now marketing t-shirts. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could exist in a totalitarian situation because he is willing to bend justice for political reasons. Yes, Putin and she could put Mr. Bragg to good use.

good use. It is apparent that many world leaders sense a growing weakness, not only in American leadership, but also within the population. In Chicago, the folks just elected a new mayor who is softer on crime than Lori Lightfoot. I'm sure that prompted giggles in Beijing and Moscow, where violent crime is suppressed with greater violence. Step out of line, they'll come and take you away. So Americans need to wise up quickly. Our freedoms are in jeopardy from both inside and outside the country. We need collectively to stop the madness. 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.

Now let's go to the mail. Todd Firtag, New York City, as of now, Donald Trump is on target to be the Republican nominee. If this stands months down a road, at some point, Ronda Sanchez is going to realize there's no chance he will win the nomination, then maybe the two can come together on a Republican ticket for 2024. That's a good letter, Todd. If you're a Republican, I mean, if Trump could get DeSantis to run as two, that ticket would be much stronger. There's no doubt about it in my mind. Paul Butko, Sarasota, Florida, America will never be looked upon the same way since Alvin Bragg was the indictment heard around the world.

That's true. We are not looked upon with favor in many places right now. James Jubin, Homer Glen, Illinois, what can Congress do about Hunter and Biden? As far as I know, they can't do much. Yeah, they can. So they're investigating Hunter Biden now, and they're going to compile the information, and they're going to make it all public, and they're going to refer it to Merrick Garland. But if it's beyond any doubt, and there's a smoking gun,

it says Hunter Biden took illegal money and put it on his tax returns and gave his father, the vice president, some of that money blows up. Everything blows up. That's where we are there. Randy McCoy, Dallas, thanks for the solid, no-donsense reporting bill, what DA can bring charges against the Bidens. The Delaware district attorney in Wilmington, he could bring charges against Hunter Biden, but he won't, but he could. I don't know about any other DAs that would have to be places where Hunter Biden did business to have jurisdiction. But they could do it nowhere. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine,

New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. It is Good Friday. a time when 2.2 billion believers commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his physical

death in Jerusalem. Here is the historical story. As described in the New Testament, Jesus was condemned by the Jewish authorities for blasphemy after claiming himself the son of God. He was then sentenced to death by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, and crucified. Remember, Jews could not crucify. Only Romans could. Pilate did this because he feared an insurrection by Jesus' followers, which numbered in the tens of thousands at that time. Pilot's story went into an area that very few people know. So he did not directly condemn Jesus of Nazareth, but he washed his hands saying, all right, you want to crucify him? My guard will do it.

Roman legionnaires will do it, and they did. Okay? But he said, the blood is on you, referring to the temple authorities. So then, after Jesus died, there was unrest in Palestine. And the emperor, Augustus, recalled Pilate to Rome along with his wife. Then Pilate got scolded, lost all his political power, and was sent to Switzerland, even though Switzerland did not exist. It was just the Alps.

And that was an outpost, the furthest north outpost in Central Europe, where Rome had a presence. Believe me, there were nothing there. So Pilate goes from a palace in Caesarea in the Mediterranean up into freezing cold barbarian territory. He dies there, and there's a plaque. Now, some people say, well, it may not be legitimate or whatever. If you read my book, Killing Jesus, we believe it's real. So Pilate and his wife, exiled, got what they deserved, karma. But few people know the payoff of that story.

And on Good Friday, I thought I would bring it to you back in a moment. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
