Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, August 11th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Putin coming to America, cleaning up D.C. cartel is about to find out, and Democrats getting fined. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message today, but first, President Trump said he would meet with the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin on Friday. in Alaska. He said that the peace deal between the two countries, Russia and Ukraine, would include some swapping of territories. Trump said we're going to get some back and we're going to get some switched. This is while he was meeting with the leaders of Armenia and

Azerbaijan for a peace summit at the White House. But he was talking again back to Russia and Ukraine, there'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both. We'll be talking about that either later or tomorrow. So again, that peace summit between Armenia and Azerbaijan, that war has been going on for over 30 years. Both of those leaders said that they will be nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump said 35 years of death and hatred, and now it's going to be love and success together. A few weeks ago on Scotland, Trump said, I've stopped six wars. I'm averaging about a war a month. The president has also announced an initiative to not only end the crime, murder, and death in our nation's capital, but also about the cleanliness and general physical

renovation and condition of our once beautiful and well-maintained capital. He said, just like I took care of the border, where you had zero illegals coming across last month from millions the year before, I will take care of our cherished capital, and we will make it truly great again. In another post, he said the homeless have to move out immediately. We will give you places to stay, but far from the capital. The criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast, just like the border. Speaking of the border, the president has also directed our military to target foreign drug cartels. This is according to the New York Times, the president secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against

certain Latin American drug cartels that this administration has deemed terrorist organizations. On Thursday, the Justice and State Department announced that the U.S. government is doubling a reward to $50 million for information leading to the arrest of the president of Venezuela, Maduro, who has been indicted on drug trafficking charges. The president of Mexico obviously does not want our military being used in her country, but we also don't want a continuation of the chemical warfare that has been waged against our country by way of China through Mexico, killing over 100,000 people just from fentanyl alone. Texas Republicans have revoked the Democrats' access to direct deposits,

so they will not be getting paid unless they come back to Texas, also charging them $500 a day that they're gone. If the Democrats stay away for the entire year, it'll cost them $3.2 million. and penalties. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message to the day.

And all good. And no worries. unbelievable cliches, those phrases have infected the entire country. Now, why am I so opposed of cliched free speech?

It's because it diminishes clear thinking. If you use the same phrases over and over again, you are not thinking, you are reciting. have memorized something, and it's boring.

So the column was a cup of Joe. Biden gave a speech for $250,000. We said, said Trump is violating the Constitution, but didn't say how. Of course not. Why would he bother doing that? But then I point out all the ways that Biden violated the Constitution. I like to call him. I hope you read it. It's free, Bill O'Reilly.com. Susan, while Joe's policies were insane, it took Congress to go along with him. Democrats went along with him. But he had veto power. President's veto power. What could the Republicans do?
