Starting point is 00:00:41 It is Friday, July 25th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Back on a construction site, new detention center meeting with Maxwell and the Hulkster passes away. So, coming up, Bill is going to be here with you on the message of the day. But first, the president made a rare trip to the Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Fed, has been overseeing the renovation of Fed offices, which is now approaching three billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:01:06 With Trump and Powell standing next to each other in a surreal scene, a reporter asked as a real estate developer, what would you do with the project manager who was over budget? And the president said, generally speaking, what would I do? I'd fire him. Another reporter said, are there things chairman Powell could say to you today to make you stop criticizing him? Trump said he could lower interest rates Powell throughout this entire exchange. Just looked like he wanted to be a thousand miles away This could be the reason that Trump could fire the chairman at the Fed for cause the cost overruns of the renovations Trump said well, I see a very luxurious situation taking place. There's always Monday morning quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I don't want to be that. I want to help them get it finished. It's been going on for years. The Trump administration is awarding $1.26 billion to build the nation's largest detention and deportation center located at Fort Bliss in Texas, near El Paso, 1.1 million acres of land along the border with Mexico. It's also an airport there.
Starting point is 00:02:03 The new facility will have room for 5,000 beds, which is the same size as Alligator Alcatraz, and will serve as a deportation hub. This is a week after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that Homeland Security will be setting up new deportation and detention centers at military bases in Indiana and New Jersey. In just the last six months, the administration has added 60 facilities to the list of those used to house illegal aliens ready for deportation. The Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the second highest ranking Justice Department official, met with Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Her lawyer declined to comment on the substance of the meeting but told reporters that there were lots
Starting point is 00:02:41 of questions and we went all day. The lawyer said she answered every one of the questions she never said I'm not going to answer never declined. This is the first time that the government has asked questions so we were thankful that the Deputy Attorney General came and asked her questions. It's the first time the government did it so it was a good day. Maxwell is currently serving a 20 year sentence at a low security federal correctional institute in Tallahassee. Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71, the son of a construction foreman and a dance
Starting point is 00:03:08 instructor born in Augusta, Georgia. He began professional wrestling at 16 years old, all against the wishes of his dad. He was also in 15 movies, including the role of Thunder Lips in Rocky III. And of course, he spoke at the RNC, endorsing the president of the United States. Hulk Hogan though said the most monumental moment in his life was being baptized just 18 months ago. We paid a proper tribute to Terry Bollea on my podcast, Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next. I'm Piers Morgan, the host of the Piers Morgan Uncensored podcast. We do big interviews and we do big debates about whatever's getting people talking.
Starting point is 00:03:46 We make news, we make noise, and we make a little bit of trouble too. Come and see what all the fuss is about. You can listen to Piers Morgan Uncensored on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Friday, this Epstein situation now officially out of control, diverting the president's attention away from the people's business. My advice is sage, S-A-G-E. Have Attorney General Bondi outline what documents the Justice Department is holding and provide the context to those documents.
Starting point is 00:04:30 No need for the AG to name names or speculate, just a factual outline. The latest Wall Street Journal expose says there are hundreds of names associated with the criminal, but none of those people are currently being investigated for anything. The anonymous sources the journal is using also say the information is unverified in the Justice Department files. So it would be grossly irresponsible to make those names public and could very well lead to massive lawsuits against the federal government
Starting point is 00:05:12 if they are released. Any person whose name is associated with Jeffrey Epstein is going to be harmed even if you just delivered bagels to him. So that's it. From now on, President Trump should refer all Epstein questions to the Attorney General's office. It should not be hard to put forth some context. This stupid story will be around a few more weeks, but believe me it does not impact your life
Starting point is 00:05:47 the economy does 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 Dan Hart's Victorville, California. Bill, I've been watching you from inside edition days to the O'Reilly factory. Now the NoSpin News. You're my go-to guy. I appreciate that, Dan. I'm sorry, but I don't think I have the capacity to give grace and benefit of the doubt to Obama, Biden, and their co-conspirators. Obama and Biden
Starting point is 00:06:21 both made a concerted effort to hurt and diminish the country. I understand that we need to see proof in the Russian collusion hoax, but I'm not willing to give any of them the benefit of the doubt. Okay, you're perfect right to do that. Perfect right. But people run around saying Barack Obama's going to go to jail and that's not the real world. Tom Clarridge, Las Vegas, Nevada. Bill, I think you let Obama off the hook prematurely.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Remember the infamous and highly detailed meeting between Obama, Biden, Brenner, Klapper, Susan Rice, et al. Obama directed the parties and subsequently approved their actions. That is conspiracy. Okay, but we don't have any hard evidence that he directed the parties and approved their actions.
Starting point is 00:07:07 He had meetings with all those people, lots of meetings, lots of meetings because they worked for him. But there's no hard evidence that he said, you know what, we're going to trump up phony charges against the incoming president to try to destroy him. Now, if a whistleblower in the White House who worked directly for Barack Obama and had access to those meetings said that, that's evidence.
Starting point is 00:07:34 If Michelle Obama got mad at Barack and said, hey, I know stuff, okay, but you don't know. You can surmise that's okay, but you don't know. You can surmise that's okay but you don't know. And neither is the Justice Department at this point. In a moment something you might not know. Hey it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show Podcast reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it

You can find it at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 25 years ago
Starting point is 00:08:37 today, a Concorde passenger debt bound for New York City, crashed upon takeoff from Paris. The international catastrophe ended the entire supersonic air travel industry. Here is the story. The first Concours took flight in January 1976. Unlike traditional jet engines, the supersonic aircraft used military-style afterburners to provide additional thrusts mid-flight. Total travel time from New York to Europe, 2 hours 45 minutes. Top speed, 1,400 miles per hour. Maximum altitude, 60,000 feet.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Whoa, that's up there. A round-trip ticket cost $12,000 back then. Despite the impressive technology, the Concorde was never a commercial success, perhaps because of the high price. People living beneath the flight path complained about the noise caused by sonic booms. Most airlines declined to purchase the aircraft. Just 16 Concords were built for British Airways and Air France, none for the U.S. airlines. On July 25, 2000, an Air France jet crashed 60 seconds after taking off from Paris en route to New York City, as I stated. All 109 people were killed, also four on the ground. The accident was caused by a burst tire that ruptured a fuel tank,
Starting point is 00:10:15 creating a fire that led to engine failure. On October 24, 2003, the Concorde took its last commercial flight. And here's something else you might not know. Today, the Trump administration is pursuing new ventures in supersonic travel. Last month, the president issued an executive order, wrote Donald Trump, quote, this decree begins a historic national effort to reestablish the United States as the undisputed leader in high speed aviation. By updating obsolete standards and embracing the technologies of today and tomorrow, we will empower our engineers, entrepreneurs
Starting point is 00:10:57 and visionaries to deliver the next generation of air travel. Back after this. Hey, Mike Baker here, host of the President's Back after this.
