Starting point is 00:00:00 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, July 21st, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Seditious coup, border agents shot, a Somali endorsed, and the Washington whatevers. It's all coming up and Bill is going to be here with you on a message today. But first, Tulsi Gabbard, who is the current director of national intelligence, released over a hundred pages of evidence that the Obama administration tried to subvert Trump's 2016 victory and presidency. She said their goal was to usurp president Trump and subvert the will of the
Starting point is 00:00:39 American people. She said, no matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral. Her claim, in short, is that the intel community was going to report to President Obama during his presidential daily brief that there was no evidence of Russia interfering or even wanting to interfere in the 2016 elections. That memo was stopped. The White House called a meeting with all the bigwigs and Obama himself, they claim,
Starting point is 00:01:12 pressured the intel community to press harder on Russian collusion. That day, info was leaked to the New York Times, which created this Russia collusion narrative. Stephen Miller said, Tulsi Gabbard has exposed the startling depths of a seditious coup against the Republic. The forces behind this coup have done and will do anything to protect their grasp on illegal and illegitimate power. Do not underestimate their capabilities or depravities, but we are stronger. An off-duty border patrol agent was shot in the face Saturday night in a New York City park under the George
Starting point is 00:01:43 Washington Bridge, Washington Heights, that neighborhood. The victim was 42 years old. The suspect is an illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with prior felony arrest and a deportation order and an active criminal warrant in Massachusetts for kidnapping. He was caught and released at the border under the Biden administration back in 2023, released into America. The mayor of Minneapolis who cried and kneeled in front of the golden coffin of George Floyd,
Starting point is 00:02:07 failed to get the backing of his party for his re-election as mayor of Minneapolis. He lost to a Somali-American socialist, Omar Fata. His parents are from Somalia, won the endorsement of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party for Minneapolis over the incumbent who's been the mayor since 2018. Trump wrote on Truth Social, the Washington whatevers should immediately change their name back to the Washington Redskins football team. There's a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams with a storied past. Our great Indian people and massive numbers want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Times are different now than when they were three or four years ago. We're a country of passion and common sense. Owners get it done. Both teams changed their name in 2020 at the peak of the Black Lives Matter woke madness. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day.
Starting point is 00:03:42 On this one day, inflation in America relatively tame, running a bit lower than 3% for the year, despite all the tariffs and fear and loathing on the part of the anti-Trump critics. Now in my life, inflation is combated. What does that mean? So I don't buy stuff that I feel is overpriced. Even if I want it, I simply won't buy it. So I go to the grocery store and I do occasionally go or into a restaurant and I look at the menu and if the cheeseburger is $30 I'm not getting it. In fact, I probably won't go to that restaurant. That's the harbinger. If you look at the menu
Starting point is 00:04:32 online and all restaurants have them now and the cheeseburger is over $25 you're getting ripped off. Don't go. That's an easy barometer. The point is that American consumers control inflation. The restaurants, the grocery stores, the gas stations, everybody can charge what they want. With gas, it's a little harder because there's price fixing there. But with items that are competitive, like clothing and food, shop around. Don't get ripped off. And if you've got to go without something that you want, do it for the good of the nation. That was the spirit during World War II.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It was rationing that. Now we can all fight inflation by not being saps. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill at billoerily.com, bill at billoerily.com, name and town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Regis Gimont from Montreal.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Could you mention that after the Ukrainian coup, NATO came into Ukraine in 2014? That would be informative for us in North America to better understand the influence NATO has at Russia's border. NATO is not formally associated with Ukraine, but Ukraine was a free country. They can associate with anybody they want. So it really doesn't make a difference. Putin has no right to tell Ukraine what to do. And that's a crux of this matter. Egon Schmole, Wanta, New York on Long Island. On yesterday's NoSymp News, you mentioned Governor Newsom has run a huge deficit since
Starting point is 00:06:29 taking over in 2019. I thought states are required to balance their budgets. No. There's no thing in the Constitution since states have to balance their budgets. In fact, 34 states are fiscally viable and 16 are not. Okay? 16 states are in huge financial trouble. There's no laws that states have to balance budgets.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Jacob Sites, Windsor, Colorado. I enjoyed your message in the Smart Life segment about Roth IRAs. I am 27 years old and I started five years ago. I have accumulated $42,000. Way to go, Jacob. See now you're on a good pathway. 25 years old, you got 42K on a Roth IRA, that's not taxable, okay? And you build and build and build and build. You got 42K and a Roth IRA, that's not taxable. Okay?
Starting point is 00:07:25 And you build and build and build and build. So when you retire, when you stop working or even something bad happens to you, whatever, you're going to be protected. Very good. I'm very happy to hear that. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 52 years ago today, two articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon were passed
Starting point is 00:08:20 in Congress. Just a few months later, he would be the first and only commander-in-chief to resign from office. Here's how Nixon went down. Two years earlier, a group of men were arrested at the Watergate Hotel complex in Washington, D.C., while breaking into the Democratic Party's national headquarters. The suspects all had ties to the White House. Nixon denied any involvement, but several staffers were eventually implicated. In July of 1973, members of Nixon's inner circle revealed the existence of secretly taped conversations between the president and his senior aides.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Nixon refused to release the audio. He claimed the material was protected by executive privilege. But a federal judge disagreed, ordering the tapes to be turned over. The White House provided some but not all. And one of the conversations on the tape had a portion intentionally erased. On May 9, 1974, members of the House of Representatives began impeachment hearings against President Nixon. In July, two articles were passed, one for abuse of power, the other for contempt of Congress. One week later, the White House complied with an order from the Supreme Court that the administration provide transcripts of the missing audio.
Starting point is 00:09:57 The new evidence clearly showed that Richard Nixon tried to cover up the Watergate scandal. On August 9, the president signed his letter of resignation, becoming the first commander-in-chief to quit. And here's something else you might not know. The Justice Department considered prosecuting Nixon after he resigned. At the time, the public was evenly divided on whether the former president should be sent to prison for his Watergate crimes. The debate ended in September 1974, when President Gerald Ford issued an unconditional pardon
Starting point is 00:10:39 for all crimes Richard Nixon may have committed while in office. Back after this.
