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 Friday, August 15th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Schumer swears. D.C. residents admit man throws sandwich and M&Ms go maha. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Chuck Schumer was asked if the Democrats will join the president and continue. his authorization to fight crime in D.C. Section 740, the emergency authorization of the DC Home Rule Act, is only allowed for 30 days, and then Congress has to extend it. Chuck Schumer responded, No blanking way. We'll fight him tooth and nail. And right now, he can only do it for 30 days. He needs to get Congress to approve it, and we are not going to approve it. But there are some

Republicans who don't like it either. This is, again, just a distraction. He's afraid of Epstein. He's afraid of all that, and we're not going to give up on Epstein. Total losers. Of course, they had all the Epstein information for the last four years. The president said, fighting crime is a good thing, and we have to explain we're going to fight crime. Already, they're saying he's a dictator. This place is going to hell. We've got to stop it. So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say, we're going to join him and make Washington safe. We're going to be essentially crime-free. This is going to be a beacon, and it's going to also serve as an example of what can be done. A poll from the far-level.

Washington Post three months ago asked people in D.C. if crime was a problem. Only 7% said it was not a problem or not that serious of a problem. But 91% said crime was either extremely or very serious or moderately serious. And the Post even three months ago admitted that it was black residents and lower income residents who were significantly more worried about crime than white residents and those with higher incomes. Today, the same Washington Post ran an article saying that, quote, the city is safe. A video came out the other day of a man, presumably intoxicated, screaming at federal law enforcement, blank you fascist. It was at 11 o'clock at night. And then he threw a subway sandwich

at one of the agents from just a couple feet away. The Border Patrol then tackled him. This was in D.C. They tackled him and arrested him. Pam Bondi said, if you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. But here's the kicker. She said, I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice. No longer. Not only is he fired. He's been charged with a felony. This is an example of the deep state that we've been up against for seven months as we worked to refocus the DOJ. A Maha wind starting next year, Skittles, M&Ms, Starburst, and Extra Gum will be available free of artificial colors. In June, Kraft Hines, and General Mills announced similar plans. Also PepsiCo, Conagra, the Hershey Company,

McCormick & Company, J.M. Smucker, Nestle, and more have announced ridding their food of artificial coloring. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday, I am wishing President Trump good luck in his attempt to get a ceasefire and a manageable situation in Ukraine. With more than a million people, dead, wounded, displaced. That seems to be a noble goal, but you wouldn't know it by watching American television news or European television news or reading the newspapers. No, no, no, no, no. The fact that Trump is going to meet with Putin in Alaska has all kinds of negative consequences. You've heard them. Oh, we're enabling Putin. Oh, we're showing.

showing weakness. Oh, Trump will be bamboozled. You know, all it is nonsense. Nobody knows how this is going to work out. Putin's a psychopath, and I will spell that out vividly in my new book, Confronting Evil. But you got to try. That's the responsibility of any president. And what about this scenario? Can you imagine Kamala Harris going up against Vladimir Putin? Putin was so disrespectful to Joe Biden. He wouldn't even take his phone calls. Trump has got the guy going to Anchorage. Kamala Harris doing that negotiation? How do you think that would work out? Maybe that's a cheap shot. I'm sorry if you feel that way. But just look at the state of those two people, Harris and Trump. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can

James Davis, Bangkok, Thailand. How close were Trump and Putin to a deal to end the war in late February of this year? So this had not been foolish in a White House. Was a ceasefire intimate? No. It wasn't Zelensky's fault. Putin's got to be forced to stop. Trump has a power to do that. Clint Atkins, Huntsville, Texas. Did you give President Trump an advanced

copy of confronting evil. No. When I see him, I'll give him the book, not the advanced copy. You know, he reads some of my books. I think he'll read the chapter about Putin. Mao, I think he'll read, and the

Ayatollah. I don't know if he'll read the whole book. I'd like him too. Alan Antoine from Chile, but lives in Miami, is a legal resident in the USA. Love the notes of the news, facts over fanaticism. Also, love confirming the presidents and your ranking of them.

It's very well documented, presented. What does President Clinton committed crimes with Epstein? Would that put him in the first worst five? Sharon Estes, Fresno, California. The right to be a moron. Final thought made me laugh out loud. Such good advice, given in a humorous way. does give us all that right.

No doubt about it. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 34 years ago today, one of the most successful songwriters in America held a solo show in New York Central Park. The free concert will go down as an iconic event. Here is the story of Paul Simon. Born October 1941, Newark, New Jersey, Young Paul, teamed up with his high school classmate, Art Garfunkel, to write songs.

The duo, first known as Tom and Jerry, after the Cats, soon became Simon and Garfunkel. Throughout the 1960s, the pair released some of the most memorable songs of the decade. The Sound of Silence, Homeward Bound, Scarborough Fair, Mrs. Robinson. The team split up in the 1970s. Paul Simon pursued a successful career as a solo artist. He focused on world music, crafting songs with bands from Brazil, South Africa, Jamaica. On August 15, 1991, Simon held a free concert in Manhattan's Central Park.

And we talked about some old times. drank all shows abuse still crazy after all these years still crazy after all these years though some estimates had to cry out at 600,000 city stats placed the actual figure at 50,000 the concert was later released as a live album reaching number 74 on the billboard chart. Paul Simon's career faded throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. He briefly reunited with Art Gungfunkle in 2009, playing three songs together at Madison Square Garden. But Paul's career is not without controversy. He has been accused multiple times of copyright violations and was renounced by many critics for recording in

South Africa during apartheid. Today, Simon continues to write music for Broadway and other artists. He lives in rural Texas and on Long Island with his family. Paul Simon, still crazy after all these years, but a good crazy. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly, no spin, just facts, and always looking out for you. Thank you.
