But first, latest on the tariffs, according to the Agriculture Secretary, she told Jake Tapper that already 50 countries have called President. Trump. She said we already have 50 countries that have come to the table over the past few days and over the past few weeks that are willing and desperate to talk to us. We are the economic engine of the world and it's finally time that someone, President Trump, stood up for America. Reports that Vietnam and Taiwan have proposed zero percent tariffs in response to Trump's tariffs on them. Bloomberg reporting that India has no plans to retaliate against Trump's tariffs with more of their own, although they have insane tariffs against us already. They had a 200 percent

tariff on American whiskey. Brooke Rollins, the secretary, said, we do already live under a tariff regime in this country. But it's the tariff regime of China, of Mexico, of Brazil, of Australia. Countries like Mexico that won't take our corn or Australia that won't take our beef. The media thrown out the R word recession, it's hilarious because a couple months ago when there was an actual textbook definition of a recession, two quarters of negative GDP growth under Biden, they redefined the word to make it all go away.

Now three days into these tariffs, and they're already to be. declaring it a recession. When our Treasury Secretary was asked if this will lead to a recession, he said, I don't think it will. And I think from the jobs numbers on Friday, that was well above expectations that we're moving forward. So I see no reason that we have to price in a recession. What jobs report? Economists were expecting 140,000 new jobs. The real number? 228,000. The average over the last 12 months was 158,000 per month. Trump wrote on Truth Social, it's already working. Hang tough. We can't lose. The storms have not stopped all across the south.

Severe flooding in Memphis, Little Rock, Arkansas, more tornadoes, touchdown in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida. Rain in Memphis over 14 inches. The latest death toll at least 18, including a nine-year-old boy in Kentucky who was swept away by floodwaters as he waited at a bus stop. Several people killed in southwest Tennessee after an EF3 tornado ripped through the town of Selmer.

Two firefighters have been killed as they were out saving lives. 90 tornadoes in at least 10 states from Kansas to Ohio. In sports news, Alex Ovechkin broke the record. Wayne Gretzky's record for career goals, 895 in total. But Gretzky's record in points, which is goals and assists combined, it's unbeatable. Ovechkin, the 39-year-old, has another 1,200 to go to beat the great one. And in the final four, men's basketball, two come from behind victories on Saturday. The finals are tonight, 8.50 Eastern Houston versus Florida.

Rayban Meta Glasses, iconic style meets Meta-Ai. time now for the o'reilly update message of the day on this monday after joe biden was elected president in 2020 many of his detractors those who voted against him focused on allegations of voter fraud they believed donald trump won you'll remember it was mania well we watched the situation

and reported it with precision, not speculation. Mr. Biden then assumed office. I had little confidence in his ability, and I stated that. I was proved correct, second worst president ever in my estimation. But along the way, I was not rooting for President Biden to fail. I wanted him to bring down prices to get a ceasefire in Ukraine, to seal the southern border. My stance was, as an American, to root for the president to solve problems. Of course, Joe Biden let me down big time.

Today, in the corrupt media, many want President Trump to fail at everything. Deporting migrant criminals, uncovering wasteful spending, getting Putin to stop killing people. Angry partisans are hammering Donald Trump on every. every single issue. They want things in America to get worse, so he will suffer. I believe that's anti-American. No question in my mind. Those haters are rooting against their own country. And that is the truth. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

Name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Eugene Doring, Myrtlebee, South Carolina. Hey, Bill, please explain to me why universities are getting huge subsidies from the federal government. Because they do research, medical research, AI research, research, research, research. The federal government wants it. That is the apparatus. our university system. That's why they get the endowments. Rhonda Gabrielson, St. George, Utah,

I have been to St. George. I was helicoptered out of the Grand Canyon on a rafting trip right into St. George. Boy, was that fun. Some of my family members are convinced that ICE is kidnapping people who have not violated the law. They claim ISIS showing up without uniforms and unmarked vehicles and deporting immigrants without due process. Well, if that happens, then they can sue the federal government. Families can sue, but I haven't seen evidence of that in mass. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think that's a policy. Matt Margulis spearfish, South Dakota. I've been to spearfish in the Black Hills. Hey, Bill, can you explain the difference between DEI and affirmative? action? Yeah, I can. Affirmative action was outlawed by the Supreme Court. You cannot

base college admissions or hirings on skin color or gender. So the people who want affirmative action said, okay, we'll call it DEI. We'll do the racial prevalence under that banner. So don't, not a firm advantage. We're not doing the E.E.I. Same thing. All right. Preference, preference, preference. This episode is brought to you by Liquid IV.

On this day in 1983, the oldest human skeleton was unearthed in Egypt. Scientists believe the ancient body is anywhere between 60 and 80,000 years old. But our evolution goes back. further than that. Here is a story of prehistoric man. Sixty-five million years ago, the dinosaurs were wiped out by a giant asteroid the size of Manhattan, which crashed into earth. Smaller mammals then spread out over the planet, and human beings slowly developed from those animals. The first Homo sapiens walked the savannas of Africa, 400,000. years ago. During this era, people shared the planet with a number of now extinct

relatives like the Neanderthals. Humans soon develop weapons, language, the use of fire, other tools. Then we migrated into Europe and Asia from Africa. If you think modern life is hard, things are really tough turn to Stone Age. Communities live mostly in caves. Some can constructed small huts, protected themselves with primitive spears. Average lifespan, 25 years. Most people died from starvation. Some were killed by giant predators, mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, timber wolves. The infant mortality rate 50%. Fifth of all women died during childbirth. Those who survived ate wildberry shrubs and animals cooked over fire pits. percent of the human diet was beat from wild game and birds. Some foods like deer and fish

were consumed raw. And here's something else you might not know. Our modern civilization is a direct result of a phenomena still debated today. Climate change. 10,000 years ago marked the end of the ice age. A warming planet caused the extinction of most large predators. Free from frigid temperatures, humans then migrated around the world. They began to fish, plant crops, domesticate livestock. Just 5,000 years later, the first cities began to appear. Baghdad, Damascus, Athens, Beirut, and Jerusalem. Back after this.
