Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. Happy Monday, June 26, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. Yevgeny Progosion. It's a name most people have never heard before and have heard it a lot this last 24 hours. Longtime ally of Putin and among other things, leader of a paramilitary group called the Wagner Group. believed to be 50,000 strong in Ukraine. It's a good thing for Russia because Putin tells them what to do and that creates distance so Russia can't be blamed for what they do. And if any of these Wagner group people get killed,

Russia doesn't claim them as a military loss. But the leader of this group, Yevgeny Przegosian, staged an insurrection against Putin. They were 120 miles, a two-hour drive outside of Moscow, before some agreement was made and Putin said that all the Wagner group members involved with the coup are pardoned and Progoshin is now an exile in Belarus.

Stay tuned. It seems very odd for a dictator like Putin to jail teenagers who dare criticize the special military engagement as they call it. You can't call it a war over there but then not kill the guy who led an actual rebellion with tanks and guns. Progotion has been very critical of the military leadership in Moscow. He said of the defense minister, they came here as speaking of the Wagner men, they came here as volunteers and are dying so you can sit like fat cats in your luxury offices. Several cars on a train crashed into a Montana river when the bridge collapsed, 40 miles west

of Billings, Montana over the Yellowstone River, just fell under the way to the train. A reporter for the AP saw an unknown yellow liquid pouring out of one of the cars into the river. Nearby residents were advised to limit their water usage. I would do more than limit it. The weight loss medication, OZempic, poised to be by far the most profitable medication ever, might now be available in a pill.

Right now you have to take it through injections. For this pill study, 667 people, half of them took the medicine, half took a placebo. 17.4% of their weight was lost by the people who took the medicine, and with the placebo only 1.8%. And the average weight loss was 44 pounds. Death and taxes, more and more states are considering taxing you not just at the gas pump, but now a per-mile tax.

How do they know how many miles you drive? In Oregon, drivers plug a device into their car, and it captures the miles you drive. The federal government is considering a test pilot version of their own program. Right now, it's Oregon, Utah, and Virginia have a road usage charge. They'll get you one way or the other. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.

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. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Monday, there is a ferocious backlash against woke and the trans movement and all of this.

And if you're following me on this radio station and watching the notes, spin news broadcast each night, we documented pretty vividly. So what has happened in America is that the progressive left is going after the kids. That's what this is all about. So they're trying to indoctrinate children as young as five into the progressive lifestyle, which is anything goes. Anything you want to do is fine. You want to have an abortion 10 minutes before birth? No problem. You want to take drugs, legalized pot, here it is. You want to change your gender from Larry to Sally at age 10? Yeah, the government will pay for it. All of this is so extreme that traditional conservative and independent Americans,

those who are not progressive loons are saying enough. Enough. We don't want this dropped on our children in public schools. You can't do anything about the universities because you select them. But the public school districts, they're there to educate your children and you're paying taxes to make that happen. So you see this ferocity, this anger building against the woke movement, which is a good thing. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

I really hate to say it, Bill, but Joe Biden could cause cashing a check at a teller's that says bribe money and he would never be found guilty. Being found guilty of a crime,

you're probably right unless the Republicans win the presidency and Congress in 24. However, if the two congressional committees, oversight and judiciary, come up with evidence beyond a reasonable out that Mr. Biden did participate, some kind of scheme financially, he's through. And so is a Democratic Party. Mike Reddy, Church Point, Louisiana. Bill, I'm hearing about communist China opening military bases in Cuba. Can you look into it? I already know. I'm way ahead of this stuff. So, Mike, all this is is a little tweaking in the USA. The Chinese are going to send over a few troops, a few soldiers, to have and they're going to have a joint military exercise.

That's it. No base, none of that. It's just in your face. That's what she does, the provocateur. Russell Pitts, Fallbrook, California. I followed a smart life tip on familysearch.org to check out my entrusty, my ancestry, following my father's lineage, and I learned,

I'm related to William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, two barons, and a clerk for Queen Elizabeth. I have a lot to catch up on. I assume you're English. I like the Ancester stuff. You've got to be careful, though. There's a lot of fraud out there. You've got to be careful.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Sixty years ago today, President John F. Kennedy arrived in Berlin, Germany.

In front of the Soviet wall that separated the capital city into democratic and communist sectors, Kennedy declared to the crowd, I am a citizen of Berlin. But because of a slight mispronunciation of the German, JFK actually said, I am a doughnut. Here is the story. In his speech, Kennedy assured West Germans that America would stand by the people of the democratically controlled sectors of Berlin,

who had lived within the hostile borders of East Germany since the end of World War II. Immediately after that war, the city of Berlin was divided into West Berlin, comprise of American, British, and French-administered democratic enclaves, and East Berlin, ruled by the Soviet Union. At the time of Kennedy's speech to West Berliners in 1963, the city's free population remained a tiny but strategically important foothold

for democracy within communist-controlled Eastern Europe. On June 26, 1963, the American president spoke before, hundreds of thousands of people in the center of Berlin. All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words, Ish bin, Ein, Bealina. And here's something else you might not know. While JFK's German was technically correct,

a Berliner is known throughout Europe as a popular dessert. The American president proudly declared himself a resident of Berlin, but to millions of Germans, he called himself a jelly-filled donut. Nine good. Good back after this. 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.
