Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Unnominated, special elections, HHS firings, and some major Doge updates. That's all coming up, then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Elise Steffinick was Trump's nominee to be the ambassador to the United Nations. Her confirmation hearing was set for Tuesday, and it was smooth sailing. but Trump unnominated her. Why?

Because of the drama in her congressional race that would have replaced her. New York special elections are a bit odd. They don't have primaries. Instead, there's 15 counties in her congressional district, and those county chairs decide who the nominee is going to be. There was such a concern that Republicans would split the vote with a unified Democratic Party that they can't risk it. So Stephanick will remain the representative for that district.

Now, there are two huge special elections this story. Tuesday, one in Florida, the congressional seat that replaces Mike Walts's district. He's now the national security advisor. Mike Walts won this seat by 33 points in the last election. Now, the Democrat running to replace him has outspent the Republican Randy Fine 10 to 1. And the Democrats are fired up and putting all eggs in this basket to win something. Even a slight win by the Republicans could make moderate Republicans in much more moderate or even Blue Districts much more concerned about supporting Trump if Randy Fine in a plus 30 district can only win by a few points. That election is on Tuesday. Randy Fine, of course, hoping for a major blowout.

Also on Tuesday is the election for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. I spoke with the conservative candidate Brad Schimmel the other day. He said this race is important because if his opponent wins, it will be a progressive court. And they said they will redraw the congressional district lines and draw out two seats that are currently held by Republicans. That alone could cause Republicans to lose the majority in the House in the 26th election. The Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that 10,000 full-time employees will lose their jobs. That's on top of 10,000 who already left the agency from buyout offers or early retirements. There will now be 62,000 full-time employees at HHS.

RFK Jr. said we aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization. with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic. Brett Bayer interviewed Elon Musk and many of the Doge leaders. Elon said it is astounding how casually the government would waste a billion dollars or more. He said there was a simple online survey, 10 questions. It would have cost $10,000 with SurveyMonkey, but someone charged the government a billion dollars. They said 40% of the phone calls to the Social Security Administration are fraudsters.

Elon said if their mission is not complete, the ship of America will sink. I'm Mike Slater, Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. The best coast just got better.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, watching the Democratic senators rough up the Trump intel people reinforces the perils of our divided country. Yes, if the Biden administration had screwed up an important security meeting,

as the Trumpers did on March 15th, GOP sharks absolutely would have done the same thing, pound home the embarrassment. That's national politics these days, but I don't have to like it. Also, hearing Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer tried to save his own butt by saying he'll oppose everything President Trump does isn't loyal opposition, it's subversive. Putting partisanship aside, you are a moron if you oppose eliminating wasteful spending, a ceasefire in Ukraine, regaining control of the border. That's a destructive point of view to oppose those things, Chuck, especially when you cheered on Joe Biden's damaging policies.

I mean, you don't have to love Trump's style, but the man is trying to mitigate several fiscal and security problems that Biden allowed. 36 trillion in debt, 12 million foreign nationals admitted, hundreds of thousands dead from Mexican narcotics. Where were you on those things, Chuck? Nowhere, man, to quote the Beatles. Yes, the Trump team screwed up the hooty terrorist meeting. I'm not happy about it.

The Democrats are. They shouldn't be. 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. Okay, YouTube. We want you to go on our channel. It's free. YouTube.com slash Bill O'Reilly. We got Bernie Sanders. I analyze he's a communist and what he's doing. You'll like it.

Go to the mail. Let's go to Todd Marsteller, York, Pennsylvania. Bill, thank you for all you do. I'm simply finding it hard to believe the Atlantic leak story wasn't set up by someone inside the Trump administration to sabotage the president. We don't do conspiracies here, Todd. I mean, look, I know people live in that world. That's not where we live. No evidence to show that. Thomas, concierge member, thank you, Thomas. Why is Goldberg's number in the phone of any senior official of the Trump administration? We need to find that out. Absolutely need to find that out. That's a key question. Amman, concierge member, thank you. In fact that Goldberg is a Trump hater is no excuse and there's no room for error. Isn't anyone in charge

of vetting attendance at these meetings? Apparently no. So, it better be in the future. If this happens again, and I don't think it will, it'll be unbelievable. Meg Hornback, Chambly, Georgia. Just watch your interview with Tom

Holman, excellent questions, clear and concise. I didn't know that Holman worked for Obama at one time. Comes across as an honest, hardworking guy. Okay. going to agree with all that. I think Tom Holman is a good public servant. Scott Phillips, Buffalo, New York, a question about removing illegal aliens, criminal or not. They are all criminals by

definition. They broke the law just by entering a country. They should all be removed. That's not going to happen. And I said that even before the election. You can't do it because some undocumented migrants are here on asylum claims that have to be adjudicated. That's a big portion. That's who Biden let in like crazy. And others are dreamers. Their parents brought them here, and that has to be adjudicated to you. You can't just sweep and throw them out.

That will never happen. In a moment, something you might not know. I just mailchimp my marketing. You mailchimped your what? I mailchimped my marketing with AI to create an effective marketing campaign in minutes. No, mailchimp and way.

When he's not running the country, Donald Trump likes to play DJ at his home base and Mar-A-Lago, Florida. While the Commander-in-Chief is a well-known fan of the song, YMCA, there are other tunes on the president's playlist that may surprise you. Here are Trump's top songs ranked by Spotify.

Metallica, enter Sandman. The heavy metal riff was once the entrance music for the New York Yankees closing pitcher, Mariano Rivera. Elton John funeral for a friend. The Rocket Man performed at Donald Trump's 2005 wedding with Melania. The two remain friends. John and Trump. Melania is still his wife.

Next, a duet from James Brown and the opera singer Luciano Bavarate. It's a man's world. The Motown ballad is often played at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Then the Rolling Stones, you can't always get what you want. The song was performed during Trump's 2016 campaign featuring the lyrics, you can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometime you might find you get what you need. Next, the theme from Phantom of the Opera. The musical from Andrew Lloyd Weber was the biggest Broadway hit in the 1980s and 90s. 1980s and 90s. Then Johnny Cash, Ring of Fire. The 1963 song chronicles the burning pain

of love, marriage, divorce, and death. And finally, number one, on President Trump's playlist, Frank Sinatra, and My Way. much more than this i did it my way and here's something else you might not know donald trump is not just a fan of music he's often named in some songs notable musicians who have referenced trump the beastie boys lou reed ice cube Kanye west Beyonce Snoop Dog, Kid Rock, and Jay-Z.
