Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, January 7th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Trudeau resigns. Harris certifies. Biden bans and abortionist wins. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message today. But first, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada since 2015, has resigned. He said he'll step down when his replacement has chosen. The Conservative Party leader Pierre Poliev, who's awesome, could potentially be the next. Prime Minister, he said, we need to fight crime, stop immigration, and put Canada first. Trump wrote on Truth Social, many people in Canada love being the 51st state. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no tariffs, taxes would go away,

and they'd be totally secure from the threat of the Russia and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great nation we would be. Kamala Harris certified the election results for Donald J. Trump. For the first time since 1988, not a single Democrat objected to the electoral college results of a Republican president. Meanwhile, the former leader of the proud boys in Rico Tario is asking President Trump for a pardon in 13 days. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in helping rally members of the group

to go to Washington. He wasn't even there. 22 years. Joe Biden has banned offshore drilling in 625 million acres of the ocean. people are saying this is permanent because he uses the 1953 outer continental shelf lands act again passed in 1953 and this law gives the president a lot of authority to ban drilling for oil and natural gas in federal waters but it doesn't make it easy for a future president to redevelop that land for oil and natural gas exploration and drilling Trump doesn't seem

too worried about it though he said this ban from Biden is ridiculous and I will unban it immediately. The President Joe Biden gave the Presidential Medals of Freedom to Bono, Michael J. Fox, Jane Goodall, Magic Johnson, Ralph Lauren, Bill Nye the Science Guy, George Soros, Denzel Washington, Anna Wintour, and Hillary Clinton. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor. The second highest civilian honor is the Presidential Citizens Medal. This is for Citizens who have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country and fellow citizens. The nation's second Catholic president, Joe Biden, awarded it to the former president of

Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards. Cecile oversaw four million abortions while she was leading Planned Parenthood for 12 years, from 2006 to 2018. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Fate, the Great Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

On this Tuesday, it is simply outrageous and insulting that President Biden has awarded George Soros, the nation's highest civilian honor. The Medal of Freedom is supposed to go to Americans who have benefited their country.

The far-left Soros has, devoted his life to tearing down traditional America. He is a dynamiter, a man whose money has eroded public safety at a level never before seen. President Biden is so mentally compromised at this point, he probably can't even remember who he honored with those medals. But I'm cutting him no slack. He is by far the most radical left leader this country has ever had, as I chronicle in my book confronting the presidents. It is absolutely shameful how much damage Joe Biden has caused America. He makes President Jimmy Carter look like George Washington. And just to put a cap on this, Biden also awarded Hillary Clinton the medal.

I've got no problem with that. Like her or not, she has served her country. A Democrat president is always going to reward other Democrats. Republicans do the same thing. Mrs. Clinton isn't my cup, but I don't begrudge her the honor. Yes, she has done bad things like the steel dossier. But the award is political, and everybody knows it. But Soros, no. 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 Walgast, Reno, Nevada. I thank Donald Trump for a significant achievement in initiating the fall of the corporate media. Early on, he cemented the term fake news. He made us all think that the news actually could be bad for us. It's an excellent point. I don't think any other president has ever damaged the news industry as much as Trump has. And unfortunately, it's a good thing because it's corrupt. Herbert Hammond, Panama, you might have a lot of action down there coming up, Herbert. Bill, do you believe Bob Woodward be sympathetic if he wrote a book about Joe Biden's presidency?

Yes, Mr. Woodward lives in the democratic liberal culture in D.C. Not going to go against that. Larry, concierge member, on the message board. I think Bill O'Reilly helped get Trump elected. The smart people did not seem to understand that Bill's new service is now worldwide, and it's not a rah-rah for Trump. And I told the president the same thing.

I said, look, a lot of your appearances speak to the choir. People are going to vote for you 100%. Not here, not with me. All right? we have a really vast audience, and they can be persuaded. That is our job to persuade our viewers and listeners on the radio to go in the right direction for themselves in their country. It's not ideological here. Dan Pentecost, Brunswick, Georgia, during your research on the president's O'Reilly, did you ever see evidence that Linda Johnson not only tied the hands of fighters in

Vietnam, but actually allowed the word of missions to get back to the Vietnamese. Total bull. Jansu was not a traitor. He's a liar, and he was corrupt. He's not a traitor. In a moment, something you might not know. This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chau. A new kind of flavor sparkling water, the kind made with really.

of fruit juice, a pinch of Sicilian salt, and the sparkle of the Italian sun. With no added sugar and just 10 or less calories per can, enjoy with love from Italy. By San Pellegrino Chau now. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know. Six and six years ago today, the United States recognized Fidel Castro and its Communist Party as the legitimate leaders of Cuba. That decision brought the Cold War very close to the USA, just 90 miles from Miami. Here is the story.

Young Fidel was born in eastern Cuba to a wealthy family. The teen turned to Marxism and took part in multiple attempts to overthrow the American-backed government in Havana. On January 7, 1959, mind, Castro and his guerrilla fighters deposed dictator Fulgencio Batista, who then fled to Portugal, later Spain, with a boatload of cash. Six months later, Fidel ruled the island nation with absolute power. His regime hunted political opponents, journalists, capitalists, wealthy, Christians, and landowners. The dictator eliminated all personal freedoms. The new Cuban Constitution states free speech is only allowed if, quote, it is in keeping with the

objectives of a socialist society, unquote. In total, at least 100,000 died trying to flee the Marxist state of Cuba, most of them drowning at sea. 10,000 Cubans were executed by Castro firing squads, 2,000 assassinated in their homes. While the rest of the Western Hemisphere prospered during the 20th century, Cuba's communist policies led to widespread misery. Unrepentant, Castro announced his retirement in 2008, died November 2016 at the age of 90. Unfortunately, he left the Cuban people destitute, and communism remains in place today. The state-mandated salary

less than a dollar daily. There's no internet access in Cuba. The government rations necessities like milk, eggs, and fuel. And here's something else you might not know. There's a lot of fish surrounding that island, but you cannot get a fishing license. That's how onerous the communist government is in Savannah. Back after this. I just mailchimp my marketing.
