You are listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Epstein list delayed. Mexicans extradited, Trump for peace, and maybe foul play. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.

But first, yesterday was supposed to be the release of some Epstein files. And there were some documents released, nothing breakthrough. but apparently the FBI field office in New York refused to give the Attorney General the full set of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote a letter to Cash Patel, the new FBI director, saying that she was given 200 pages of documents, and she was assured that that was all the documents related to Epstein. She then learned from a source at an FBI field office in New York that there were thousands of pages of documents that they didn't hand over. She then ordered Cash Patel to release all the documents by today to her office. Senator Marsha Blackburn told me yesterday, and she's been a crusade to get the Epstein files released, said this will help us break apart what has become a global human and sex trafficking ring.

Mexico extradited 28 cartel bosses to the United States, including the killer of the DEA agent Kiki Kamerena. One could assume this is done in an effort to appease America and Trump and U.S. officials who have been pushing for tariffs against Mexico for their protection of these drug cartels. Along with the murderer of that DEA agent, which was back in 1985, they also extradited two Supreme Leaders of Los Zetas Cartel and the brother of the Supreme Leader of Cartel, Halisco. The confirmation of the extradition came at the exact same time that Mexico's security cabinet was meeting with our Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

There still is a reward for the main cartel boss that America wants El Mencho, $15 million reward. While the president of Ukraine is in D.C. today to sign that mineral rights deal with America, Trump is not just seeking peace with Russia and Ukraine, but also in the Middle East. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, said leaders across the Middle East have a strong desire in the region to see expansion of the historic Abraham Accords. Rubio said we've now seen more and more countries, even quietly, and I don't want to say who they are yet because they've been quiet about it, but we've had more and more countries

come forward and say that they would like to join as well. Some from that region and some from Africa as well. So I think it's something we can build on. And to me, it would be one of the great developments of his term. Oscar award-winning legend, Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead in their home. Police are calling it potentially suspicious. Hackman was 95, his wife, 63. They were in their home in New Mexico.

Originally, police said there was no sign of foul play. But now detectives believe that the deaths are suspicious enough to require a thorough search investigation. Gene Hackman's daughter told TMZ that carbon monoxide point, poisoning might be to blame. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next.

As you know, the United States is undergoing profound change with Republicans in charge of the federal government. Some new policies are good, others questionable. But what is absolutely fascinating is that the Democratic Party opposes just about all change. The nation cannot sustain a $37 trillion debt.

Everybody knows that. Spending cuts have to be made, or the American economy will collapse. Therefore, some programs and personnel will have to be diminished. People will lose jobs. But every time there's a layoff or a closed program, the whaling begins. It's not fair. People will starve. Plains will crash. It's Armageddon. Now, my simple question to those people who are wailing is this. What would you do to get federal spending under control? Rarely an

answer, President Biden's solution was more taxes, fair share as he went about bankrupting. the country. The truth is that far too much tax money is wasted by corrupt bureaucrats. And that is anything but fair. So let's do something about it. Okay, people, 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. go to the mail. We got Anthony Rausch Wall Township, New Jersey. Hey, Bill, I usually agree with you, but I cannot get on board with Trump appeasing Putin.

Russia's strategy has been to target civilians and that's a clear violation of the Geneva Convention. And to side with Putin in any way puts the rule of law in the garbage. Well, I don't think Trump's siding with Putin. I analyzed pretty extensively, Anthony, he's trying to get a deal. And he's so he's not antagonizing Putin. We got to live in a real world here. You don't get a deal with Putin, the war continues. Nothing's going to stop it.

That's it. David, at least there's a chance the war for ends with Joe Biden. There was no way. Okay, that's true. Biden, Putin wouldn't even take his call. embarrassing boy oh boy I can imagine if I were a president

somebody didn't take my call oh uh Fran the U.S. has been messing in Ukraine's business for many years and that's wrong we should get out of Ukraine's business

stop sending money and war material to Zelensky and leave them alone to solve the problem well friend that means Taiwan goes that means Putin invades other countries That means chaos in the world.

That means the American economy craters because of chaos in the world. You want all that? You need to think a little more deeper, a little bit deeper about this. Alan, the outcome is your choice between a peace deal or Russia will own all of Ukraine. The longer the war continues, the more territory, Ukraine will lose. Doesn't have the industrial capacity or to win the fight. Absolutely right. Ukraine can't be Russian.

And that's a disadvantage, obviously, in any negotiation. In a moment, something you might not know.
