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 Tuesday, January 20th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Church riot, protecting monsters, Elon's big spend, and it's winter. It's all coming up, then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, after rioters stormed inside of a Baptist church in St. Paul on Sunday, the Department of Justice is investigating potential violations of the freedom of access to Clinton. Entrances Act, the Face Act, and also the KKK Act. The Biden administration often used the Face Act against pro-life Christians who got in the way of abortion, people going inside of an abortion clinic.

But now that same law from its past in 1994, it can be used against these rioters. Anti-I ice protesters stormed Cities Church in Minneapolis and accused a pastor of being an ice agent. Former CNN washed up anchor Don Lemon was there as a journalist. and he interviewed the pastor in the moment, as this is happening, and the pastor said this is unacceptable and it is shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. A few days ago, before this happened, the assistant attorney general said any attack on a house of worship or a religious service in this country falls under our jurisdiction and we have a zero tolerance policy. There's a clip of a Minneapolis federal agent driving away from a law enforcement operation and he rolls down his window and he says to some protesters, he says, we're here to arrest a child sex offender. And you guys are out here honking, impeding our investigations while we're trying to arrest a child sex offender.

That's who you guys are protecting. Insane. In similar news, there's a picture making the rounds of a man with no shirt being escorted out of his house by federal agents. Left freaking out, of course. But Homeland Security responded that ICE conducted a targeted operation of two convicted sex offenders. One of the criminal targets had convictions for sex with a minor and sexual assault. The other target had convictions for sex assault with penetration in the first degree, domestic violence, and violating a protection order. have convictions for failure to register a sex offender's, and they both have final orders of

removal from an immigration judge. This is who the left is protecting. There's a fascinating Senate primary gaining steam in Kentucky. There's a few Mitch McConnell aligned people who are in the race, the Republican side, but Elon Musk gave the largest disclosed contribution of the midterm election cycle so far to a super PAC belonging to Nate Morris, $10 million. Morris is a ninth generation in Kentuckian who does not like Mitch McConnell. He said, I think he epitomizes the worst of government, the worst of D.C., the worst of the swamp, and why career politicians have got to be thrown out of office and why we need outsiders and business people.

It's winter, but snow in Florida? Parts of Georgia got three inches. Nothing for up north, but there was a hundred car pile up in Michigan, 40 tractor trailers, where I grew up upstate New York, between one to four feet expected, and in Minnesota and Wisconsin windshills of negative 39. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the day.

On this Tuesday, the Greenland thing has a potential to disrupt the West and help the dastardly Vladimir Putin. President Trump is correct that the enormous island under the control of Denmark is not helping security in the USA. That's because there's only one U.S. military base there to monitor Russia. and Chinese ships using the Arctic passage to North America. In discussions with the president I put forth that deals can be made with the Danes. It's similar to Panama one year ago when Mr. Trump's saber-rattle that American troops might have to run the canal. Didn't happen because Panama made a deal with the USA that benefited both countries.

inserting U.S. troops into Greenland without a treaty would provide the murderous Putin with cover. As you know, his justification for invading Ukraine is Russian national security. That's President Trump's stated reason for controlling Greenland. Finally, the American people will not support a military move against the Danish. British territory as the midterm election looms. All the polls show that. In one poll, just 9% of the American population supports military action. We need some calm in this situation. 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.

Let's go to the mail. David Chambers, Richmond, Texas. Bill, I get frustrated when I hear news anchors, even those on News Nation. So most Americans are fed up with ICE. How do they know that? I'm not fed up. I don't respond to any online polls because I don't trust them. Okay, but it's the only barometer we have is the polling. Now, I've done my best to keep the polling in context. I tell you about the good, accurate polls and the polls that aren't so good. But if you think that most Americans want American troops to invade Greenland, David, no. Ron Perry, drums, Pennsylvania, I believe the current inflation is the result of manufacturers hating President Trump. No. The current inflation is because there are

certain products that no matter how high the price goes, people still buy them. And beef is a big, the big example of that. So chicken, fish, pasta, not going to kill you. Steak? Yeah. The only way to get them down is from America that goes a little bit too much. Not going to buy it. The only way. It's not a conspiracy.

Greg Bishop read in California. I have been watching you for over 30 years. O'Reilly loved the broadcast journalism. Can you tell me why ICE doesn't use water cannons to control violent protests? That might up it a little bit there, Greg. You want to kind of bring it down now? Water cannons? You mentioned a lawsuit portion on that?

In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know. 84 years ago today, senior members of the Nazi Party gathered in a luxury villa on the outskirts of Berlin. The discussion will directly lead to the near annihilation of the Jewish people and changed the course of human history forever. Here is the story behind the WANC conference. The Third Reich began its total persecution of Jews in the late 1930s. For the next decade, so-called sub-humans were excluded from every aspect of German society, education, medicine, music, the arts, finance.

As World War II raged, the Nazis sought a so-called final solution to the Jewish question. On January 20th, 1942, the Furez henchman huddled in the suburb of Wantsy just a few miles from central Berlin. Absent from that meeting was Hitler himself because he knew war crimes were being discussed. Well, inside the mansion, the men ate caviar, pickled herring, drank wine, smoked cigars, discussed the most efficient methods for committing genocide. Four hours later, the final solution was set in motion. Anyone considered a Jew, that is with two Jewish grandparents, was to be dispatched to ghettos in Central Europe, then onto concentration camps to die.

They would either be worked to death or gassed immediately. Europeans with one Jewish grandparent could choose between mandatory sterilization or forced labor. Before the conference, Europe's Jewish population was about 7 million. By 1945, at the war's end, that figure had fallen to 250,000. And here's something else you might not know. Despite orders to burn all records of the WANC conference, one copy still exists. It can be found in Israel's Holocaust Museum. We cite that document and explain in great to tell the extent of Adolf Hitler's anti-Semitic obsession in my best-selling book, Confronting Evil.

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.
