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 Friday, June 13th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Strikes in Iran. Padilla handcuffed. Rescission passes house and a species rediscovered. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Marco Rubio said tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces

in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear, Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel. It is reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander of Iran has been killed. The Revolutionary Guard, among other things, controls Iran's ballistic missiles. Reports also that the chief of Iran's military and other members of the top brass and also many nuclear scientists were killed in these IDF strikes in Tehran. One of the targets was a nuclear facility. This Israeli operation was called Rising Lion. Christy Nol, headed the

Department of Homeland Security, had a press conference in L.A. The senator from California, Alex Padilla, was pushed out of the press conference. He's, he said, started yelling, demanding that he asked a question, and then he was pushed out by security and then brought to the ground and put in handcuffs. Padilla is the son of Mexican immigrants. Christy Noem defended what happened. She said, nobody knew who he was when he came into the room, creating a scene. He was removed from the room, and yes, they started to put handcuffs on him when he finally identified himself, and then that was stopped. They said, he wants to talk to us, and sure, I'd love to sit down a visit. So we went into a room and visited it for 10 or 15 minutes

and then exchange phone numbers. Homeland Security also released a new poster. It looks very World War II-esque with Uncle Sam painting on a wall. Help your country and yourself. Report all foreign invaders. Ice. 866 DHS2 ice.

The House has passed. The White House's first, hopefully of many, rescission packages. This one, and these rescission packages, this is where the Doge cuts are codified. This one deals with cuts to USAID and also to the, the Corporation Republic Broadcasting, which is PBS and NPR.

To debunk a claim that I'm sure many will make about PBS regarding Sesame Street, just a few weeks ago, a deal was made with Sesame Street and Netflix. 90 hours of past episodes will be on Netflix, and new episodes will air on Netflix and PBS simultaneously. Rest easy. I know you've been very worried about the long-beaked echidna. It's been extinct since the 1960s, but it has been rediscovered deep in the rainforest of Indonesia. This is an egg-laying mammal like the platypus.

Turns out they're doing just fine. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith, Bill O'Reilly with your message today. Next. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

On this Friday, mortality got closer to the baby boom generation this week with the deaths of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone. Both are pop icons, both succumbing in their early 80s. Now, these men were creative geniuses, no question, but they destroyed their lives with drugs. Not uncommon in the music industry, where permissive and self-destructive behavior is often acceptable. I met Brian Wilson one time when the Beach Boys were on their 50th anniversary tour. I know Mike Love and Bruce Johnson pretty well and understand how this amazingly talented band fell apart.

The unsteady Wilson simply could not function in the real world. He was so fogged out when I shook hands with him, there was nothing to say. Sly Stone was even worse, sacrificing his immense talent on the altar of cocaine and hurting those around him in profound ways. The guy delivered amazing performances before he flamed out. You should watch on YouTube. The insidious world of narcotics came in strong during the 1960s, when Wilson and Stone were red-hot. Their God-given talent could not save them. They squandered it all as millions of human beings have done.

A shame, a lesson, one that should be noted. 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 beverly for years it has been known that george sorrows funds riots i don't understand why he his son and others have not been arrested for crimes against humanity there is no crimes against humanity on the books in this country beverly okay that's the hague sorrows has got a battery of lawyers not going to break any law okay he's exercise

exercising his free First Amendment rights. Deborah, I wonder why Soros' citizenship hasn't been revoked because you can't just revoke somebody's citizenship because you don't like what they do unless they commit a crime. Okay. He is an American citizen, by the way. Forrest. Thank you, Bill, for informing us of John Solomon's repertoire.

You see, other day, I mentioned my wife that I wish once, when riots broke out, some investigative journalist finds out who's behind it. We have, and Solomon was the driver on it. Steve Campanella, Staten Island, New York, let's concede that these protests are mostly peaceful. That means they are partially violent. How much violence is acceptable to Democrats?

Individual question, that's for sure. I can't answer it in a general way. But, you know, there are loons, no doubt about it. Roger, I'm disheartening to see how close the polling is regarding the direction of the country. It appears we have two separate ideological. people. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. No doubt. Very intense at this point of history. Melanie Porter, Flora, Illinois, Bill, please correct me if I'm wrong. Individuals who claim they're

single with small children get Medicaid, regardless of the way they live with a partner, boyfriend, or girlfriend, and share expenses, correct? Yes, you are correct. They go ahead and go in and see what your domicile is. All right, you petition for Medicaid in the state. You tell them how much your income is, you qualify or you don't. They don't know if Lenny is kicking in money or whatever. So part of the difficulty. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers,

lawmakers, and even the President of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might. might not know. The most important story in the world right now is the relationship between the USA and China. Here's some basic facts about America's main adversary. China, one of the

oldest countries on Earth, recorded history dates back to 4,000 BC. For much of that time, the nation was ruled by imperial families called dynasties. That changed during the 20th century. A violent rebellion formed the Republic of China in 1912. Japan invaded two decades later. During that occupation, 20 million Chinese civilians were estimated to be killed by the Japanese. Mao Zedug and his communist army seized China in 1949. His party ruled over 1.5 billion people, and that exists to this day. China is the second biggest economy in the world with a GDP of 20 trillion.

The USA holds the top position 30 trillion. Beijing, also the planet's biggest exporter. They produce a majority of light bulbs, computer chips, smartphones, furniture, clothing, plastic, and medical equipment. Order is maintained through the most sophisticated police state in human history. The entire population of China is monitored by 2 million soldiers, 5 million police officers, and a vast network of surveillance cameras which are everywhere. All smartphones are monitored by the Communist Party. In fact, when I was in Beijing recently, I could not use my cell phone.

I had to use a burner. And here's something else you might not know. China's situation is not going to change. The security apparatus is simply too fearsome. You step out a line, they'll come and take you away, as Crosby, Stills, and Nash once sang. The state is ultra-powerful. There is no dissent. So the world has to make a deal with China.

And I hope the USA leads that. situation. President Trump is certainly aware. Back in a moment.
