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, July 15th, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. DOE cut, rescission package vote. Autopenn confirmed, an historic landmark destroyed. It's all coming up, and Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. So here's how the story goes. The president of the United States, who's in charge of the executive branch, wanted to fire 1,400 employees at the Department of Education. A federal judge in Massachusetts said, you can't do that. The Trump administration wanted a temporary pause on that judge's order,

and the Supreme Court granted that pause. The three progressive women on the court dissented in a 19-page opinion. Sotomayor said that the court's decision is indefensible. It hands the executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out. She said the majority is either willfully blind to the implications of this ruling or naive. But either way, the threat to our Constitution's separation of powers is grave. Their argument is that the Congress created a cabinet-level position,

and it is the executive's branch job to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. In similar news, the Senate has to vote on Friday, or before Friday, on the rescission package. This is the first of hopefully many to formalize cuts, in this case, to public broadcasting and USAID, among other programs, totaling $9.4 billion. So these are expenditures that Congress has previously authorized. The executive branch then makes a list of all the things they don't want to spend money on, and they put in a big package and send it back to Congress. The House voted on it pretty quickly,

but the House and Congress have to both vote on it within 45 days to approve the cuts. If they don't do it by 45 days, which is this Friday, then the spending goes back into effect. Since 1973, presidents have sent 1,178 rescission packages. to Congress. Congress has approved 461 of them, totaling $25 billion in funds, but it only needs 51 votes to pass. Trump

said it is very important that all my Republicans adhere to my rescission bill and in particular defund the corporation for public broadcasting, which is worse than CNN and MSDNC put together. We were told there was no auto pen. Auto pen. What's it? Autopen? No auto pen

here. Now we're told there is, of course, but it's no problem. The New York Times admitting that Joe Biden used an auto pen for his clemency decisions. Well, he didn't use them. He just said you can grant clemency and someone else used them. We don't know who, though. The house says they are continuing their investigations. Two wildfires near the Grand Canyon in Arizona have destroyed up to 80 structures so far, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. Two separate fires 35 miles apart. They're both zero percent contained. Both of these fires started by lightning. This lodge first opened in

1937, and it's a net, well, was, unfortunately, a national historic landmark. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message to the day. Next.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Tuesday, President Trump is annoyed by Jeffrey Epstein questioning from the press. Many Maga disciples are teed off. The government may be suppressing information. about the case. The media in general only cares if the story hurts Mr. Trump. The MAGA situation is most interesting. Looks like the Trump cadres are split into two groups. The first crew is angry that some powerful people who associated with the heinous criminal Epstein are allegedly being protected by the feds. Second group could not care less about Epstein. He's dead,

Good. Leave Donald Trump alone. I am most sympathetic to Americans who object to wealthy and powerful people receiving secret protections. That scenario is simply unacceptable in a country built on equal justice. Unlike many in the dishonest media, I make no accusations here, nor do I promote conspiracy theories. I simply don't know about Epstein's association. But the Justice Department does. And Attorney General's Pam Bondi, as well as Biden's Merrick Garland, should both answer questions in general about the investigations. It is their responsibility to do that, and President Trump should order it.

All fair-minded Americans understand you cannot link innocent folks to Epstein in any way, way, but a general explanation to the public essential. 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. Now let's go to the mail. Wendalock. Bill, you mentioned Merrick Garland should be standing next to Pam Bonney to provide information to the public about Epstein. While it's true Garland had the information for four years, Garland did not make prime. that Bondi, Patel, and others did.

In fact, Garland did not make any promises. So what? He knows, right? I don't care about the promises. I want to know what the federal government has. Terry McAllamon, Frisco, Texas, with all the false reporting and slanted narrative that daily floods are minds and media. Why can't Congress or the President create a truth and journalism watchdog agency

that says, if you report something that turns out to be false, you go to prison? First Amendment, they try that with the Sedition Act under John Adams, the president, total violations. You could sue the press, as Trump has done successfully twice now, but you can't just knock them out. Cindy, concierge member, hope you're enjoying it, Cindy. Florida cannot implement its own immigration policy, but California can. California's policy is to ignore immigration law. Okay, but it's not an official policy. They just ignore it.

Florida had an official policy to punish undocumented people. He can't do it. This is a big difference. Trudy von Slupten, Berridge, Illinois. Bill, isn't one pathway to citizenship for dreamers to join a military for two years. Could be when Congress finally gets around a pass on a fair immigration law. That should be in there. Right?

And a fine. Payback. Suzanne Schultz, Boston Lake New York. Thanks for asking us, your view is for opinions on whether Americans care about Biden's help. Overall, I really don't think so, mainly because his term is over. Personally, I think it's important

because of the use of the auto pet. Look, it's this fraud, we need to know about it. Right? Epstein, Biden, whatever it is. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 19 years ago today, a small group of programmers in Silicon Valley launched a new platform to promote podcast businesses. The network they created would forever change global communication. Here is the story of Twitter. In March 2006, the team led by future CEO Jack Dorrit. Orsie, unveil the ambitious project. Unlike Facebook, Twitter only allowed short-form messaging.

Each post was limited to 140 characters, approximately two sentences. As its popularity grew, celebrities began using the platform to push books and movies. Early adopters, Oprah Winfrey, Snoop Dog, Donald Trump. In 2011, Twitter pivoted to politics. The platform was crucial during the so-called Arab Spring and beat traditional outlets when reporting breaking news. Then the company turned controversial, 2016. Donald Trump used Twitter to promote his presidential campaign.

His opponents claim the network had been hijacked by Russian hackers. As COVID spread in 2020, Twitter began to suppress free speech. of people who questioned the effectiveness of the vaccines. Twitter then booted Donald Trump for his comments regarding the January 6th Capitol riot. Enter Elon Musk. He joined Twitter 2009, quickly gained 90 million followers. He became an outspoken critic after the platform banned coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Musk eventually bought the company for $43 billion.

He changed the name to X to match his business ventures in space and electric vehicles. And here's something else you might not know. Today, a new threat stalks servers at X, artificial intelligence. Recently, the company's AI software called GROC began praising Adolf Hitler in white supremacy. Elon Musk issued a statement after that happened, saying, Grock is too eager to please and too easy to manipulate. That is being addressed. Let's hope so.
