But first, Washington Post reporting that there are operations planned for weeks-long ground operations in Iran, including special operation rates and limited infantry missions. This includes a marine expeditionary unit that is now in theater. The report said that the planning, which has been underway for weeks, has included possible operations involving Karg Island. It's this little island right off the coast of Iran. That's their primary oil export hub, it's where they do all their oil refinery, as well as raids on coastal positions near the Strait of Hormuz,

which is where they lost. launch these drones that attack the ships. Part of landing on Karg Island would be to stop Iran from blowing it up themselves so we can keep the oil flowing. This buildup also includes elements of the 82nd Airborne Division. French police stopped a bomb attack outside of the Bank of America building in Paris. A man was in the act of lighting the bomb when police grabbed him. The homemade device was nine pounds of liquid, believed to be some fuel, 23-ounce.

He was taking photos and video with a cell phone as this was happening. Police say that that person they arrested was recruited through Snapchat to carry out a bombing in exchange for $692. Police say that suspect is a minor from Senegal.

Two other people have been arrested since, but they're not saying what role they have played yet. Tiger Woods, again, crashing his car. This time under the influence of some type of medication, it's believed crashing his SUV in one of the strictest counties in Florida.

On this Monday, it is Holy Week all around the world as a billion and a half Christians get ready for Easter Sunday. Now, the United States is becoming more and more secular. It's estimated that maybe 23% of us go to services every week and the fastest growing religion in America is atheism, people who are pagans. They don't believe in any deity. It's all about them. Now, I'm being a little harsh, I admit it. I had no choice. I was born into an Irish Catholic family, but I have been loyal my entire life, not because the Catholic Church is flawless.

it's far from that. But the theology, the Christian theology, is about as flawless as you get. Think about it. If everybody loved their neighbor as themselves, there would be little violence, little crime, no wars. and that is what Jesus the Nazarene taught. Best source? My book, Killing Jesus. It's also a movie you can get on pay-per-view. Happy Easter in advance. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Juni D, Manila, the Philippines. Always watch the No Spin News, also on your YouTube channel, read your daily message. Currently reading confronting the presidents, I also have Killing

Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan. Thank you, Junie. Just want to ask you what's the difference between socialism, fascism, and communism. Communism is when a government can seize private property, take everything you have. Okay? Socialism is when a government says we're going to tax you very high rate and provide you with all you need cradle to grade. But we're not going to take your stuff. If you have stuff, we're not going to seize it. Communists will do that, but the socialist won't. However, we'll provide for you. You're not going to have much, but you'll get retirement funds, education, medical, but you pay a lot of money. Fascism is basically the government running everything

telling you what you can or can't do. It's like communism, totalitarianism with one exception. Fascism wants corporations but they run

the corporations. Communism doesn't want corporations. They're evil. Bernie Sanders is a Buddhist. That's a difference. Good question. Junie and I hope you're doing well in the Philippines. Okay, let's go to our store, three American tour. We just put out a few more seats because it's a hot ticket, Westbury this coming Sunday, 3 p.m. You'll love it. Go to bill o'Reilly.com.

Golf shirts, t-shirts, hats, mugs, send a message. Not woke. It's working in a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Forty five years ago today, a deranged man shot President Ronald Reagan in Washington, D.C. The bullet pierced his left lung, missing his heart by inches. Miraculously, the 70-year-old commander-in-chief survived the attack and rebounded in the short term. Here is the story.

On March 30, 1981, Ronald Reagan departed the Hilton Hotel in D.C. As he approached his limousine, 25-year-old John Hinkley Jr. fired six shots at the president. The gunman was immediately detained by the Secret Service. President Reagan rushed to the hospital. His first word to his wife, quote, Nancy Honey, I forgot to duck. Hinkley told police he tried to kill the president to impress actress Jody Foster. He had penned a letter to the young film star just days before the shooting,

writing, quote, over the past seven months, I have left you dozens of poems, letters, and love messages. The reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you, unquote. One year later, Hinkley was found not guilty by reason of insanity. The gunman was released from a psychiatric hospital in July 2016. He currently performs country music on YouTube.

And here's something else you might not know. Ronald Reagan never fully recovered from the attack. He did his job. He was successful, but he suffered extreme fatigue, hearing loss, and eventually cognitive decline. He was diagnosed with advanced Alzheimer's disease late in his second term. President Reagan died in 2004 at the age of 93, 23 years after this shooting.
