Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Tuesday, March 19th, 2024. Here's what's happening today in America. Bond. Trump's bond. Texas delay. Still unconscious. And stolen ruby slippers. That's all coming up.

Then Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Trump said he's unable to make his $464 million bond. in that absurd fraud case in New York City. One of the goals of this law fair is to bankrupt Trump. They're getting pretty close. His lawyer said the amount of the judgment with interest exceeds $464 million and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude. Trump wrote on Truth Social,

the size of the bond is unconstitutional, un-American, unprecedented, and practically impossible for any company, including one as successful as mine. The bonding companies had never heard of such a bond. of this size before, nor did they have the ability to post such a bond, even if they wanted to. He's already had to post a $91 million bond as a part of the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. The Supreme Court indeed extended the temporary freeze of the Texas immigration law. They had until last night to extend it, and they did. If they did not, then the law would have gone into effect today.

But now it remains paused until Monday. Zam Alito issued the hold, which just gives the court more. time to review the briefing. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the Constitution recognizes that Texas has the sovereign right to defend itself from violent transnational cartels that flood the state with fentanyl weapons and all manners of brutality. State officials argued to the court that Texas is the nation's first line defense against transnational violence. And if they're not going to defend the borders, then we have to. Perhaps you've seen the horrific video of a 16-year-old girl getting an

fight at school with a 15-year-old girl, but it wasn't like a fight, like perhaps you had in your school growing up. This larger 15-year-old girl smashed her head into the ground multiple times. She has a fractured skull that has not regained consciousness. This happened 11 days ago. It was at a school outside St. Louis. Her family spokesperson says the full scope and extent of Kaylee's injuries and prognosis for recovery cannot be determined until, with God's grace, she regains consciousness. This is such a knuckle-headed crime. Back in 2005, someone stole the pair of ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in the Wizard of Oz.

Well, a second man was just charged in that crime as well, a 76-year-old man. They admitted to using a hammer to smash the glass case at the Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota in order to pull off, quote, one last score before turning away from their life of crime. Why did they steal him? Because they thought the slippers were made. of real rubies. I'm Mike Slater. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day.

On this Tuesday, it is true beyond a reasonable doubt that a few powerful social media

companies, sometimes at the behest of the FBI, suppress the Hunter Biden laptop, story. That situation was finally exposed with troubling clarity. So what else is being censored? Well, how about traditional and conservative voices on network TV talk shows? This conspiracy dwarfs the hunter masking. There are three network morning programs and five late night gab fest. What was the last time you saw a right-leaning person on any of them?

This is not an accident, nor has it always been this way. Over the years, I have visited network programs 78 times. The appearances almost always went well, and ratings for the shows were high, as my crew watched jacking up their usual audiences. That all stopped in November 2016, and it was not an accident. Network Chieftains went ballistic after Donald Trump's election. So, for almost eight years, only liberal commentators are welcome on the talk shows. This, of course, is censorship at the highest level.

The result is a normalization of pernicious policies, such as little punishment for criminals, racial preferences, and abortion with no limits. Woke culture dominates because of the now heavily restrictive entertainment industry. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

Name in town if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. We got Mary Altoro, Norwalk, Connecticut. Bill, you say Biden doesn't work because he doesn't care about anything. Why don't we ever hear about who is really running the White House? I've done this, Mary, a number of time. We're going to do it one more time for you, especially.

All right. Chief of Staff in the Biden White House, the man named Jeff Zentz, Z-I-E-N-T-S. Have you ever heard of him? No. Nobody's ever heard of him. Top counsel is Ed Ziscoll, S-I-S-I-S-K-E-L, and the head of the Communications Department is Ben LaBolt. Those are the three inside the White House, in the West Wing, that have the most power. And nobody knows anything about them.

They are not public in any way you never hear from them, but they have the power. And outside Jeffrey Katzenberg, the Hollywood mogul, huge power. Bernie Sanders, the communist senator from Vermont, big power. And there's Biden, and he listens to all this, but the most powerful person. is Jill Biden. There you go. Not going to do it again. John Fox, Ashboro, North Carolina.

Why can't you, O'Reilly, make the case that Joe Biden is a tax cheat? He's the big guy. How can I make the case? I don't have subpoena power. I don't know his banking things. That's for the Justice Department and Congress to do. How can I do it?

I mean, you say he's a tax sheet. Okay, that's your opinion. If you have some documentation, pass it along to me. I can't just do it out of thin air. In a moment, something you might not know.

The plot featured a female TV producer and her crew at a Minneapolis station. Here is the story of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ms. Moore became famous for her association with Dick Van Dyke.
