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. Gavin breaks, Bitcoin Reserve, congressmen censured, and student deported. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, more than anything in the world,

he wants to be president of the United States. He started a new podcast called This is Gavin Newsom. And he said he's only going to talk to conservatives. His first guest was Charlie Kirk. And in the conversation, Newsom admitted that it's, quote, deeply unfair to allow boys to compete against girls in sports. This has now become the litmus test for the Democratic Party. The head of the human rights campaign said when LGBTQ plus lives are under attack,

real leaders don't hedge. They fight. As someone who has lived for 12 years under Gavin Newsom's reign, I'm telling you that Gavin Newsom is going to use this podcast to try to be seen as more of a centrist or even a conservative when he runs for president in four years. Do not fall for this routine for one second. It's all an act. Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish.

a strategic Bitcoin Reserve. It will start with all the Bitcoin that is owned by the federal government through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. So it's not going to cost taxpayers anything. And the United States will not sell any of the Bitcoin that's deposited into this reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. David Sachs is the chair of the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. He said this executive order underscores President Trump's commitment to making the United States the crypto capital of the world. You saw Congressman Al Green from Texas yell at the president a couple times during the joint session of Congress the other day. He was officially censured by the House, 224 to 198, 10 Democrats

joined in. Green is the 28th congressman in history to be censured by the House. After the vote, his punishment is to stand in the well of the chamber while the resolution is read aloud. This resolution, the censure, does not remove him from any official duties in any way. This issue came up during the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio's confirmation hearings, and the State Department just revoked the first visa for an alien who was previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with Hamas supporting disruptions. This person is a university student. The State Department reviewed over 100,000 visas, and the Biden administration

canceled zero visas for pro-Hamas activities or related criminal behavior. This marks the first, perhaps of many. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, wrote up. on Twitter, those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message today. Next.

You don't want to miss an episode. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day.

President Trump's record-breaking speech this week had some history in it. Longest congressional address ever. Taunting his opposition, that was unusual. And warning a foreign country, Panama, that is going to lose some of its territory to the USA, was unprecedented. At least Trump is giving Greenland a say in its destiny, I guess. overall, if Mr. Trump's promises turn out to be true, he will assemble quite a legacy. But that's a huge if. The most entertaining display on Tuesday evening was watching Democrats try to outlothe each other when it came to the president.

I almost laughed out loud when Mr. Trump said, Pocahontas wants the Ukrainian war to go on for five more years. Cut to Senator Elizabeth Warren, laughing and waving. Bizarre? Very. President Trump says his administration will bring peace and prosperity. That woke is finished. That common sense will rule. As an American, I hope all of that comes true.

But even if it does, I know one thing. pocahontas and her tribe will not like it i'm bill o'reilly i approve the message by writing it you can reach me bill at bill o'reilly dot com bill at bill o'reilly dot com name in town if you wish to opine let's go to the mail william democrats have shown their true colors by voting against the women in sports protection act only two democrats voted for it absolutely true if you are okay with that, and that woman last night, Peyton, I'll never forget her. Brain injury from this? And you're still supporting that? Wow. Maureen, someone in light me, how are Democrats blocking the no men in sports of the GOP as both the Senate and House majority?

Because in the Senate, you cannot advance a bill to the floor unless you get 60 votes. It's different from the House. That's the rules. Dr. Paul Bufanis, Itapena, Brazil. Are the administration's efforts to engage Putin in peace talks leading us toward a peaceman? No, I don't think it's appeasement. It's stop. Stop. I don't think that Putin's going to get a car to do other bad stuff.

I could be wrong. They want to stop it at this point in history. Robert Slaney, Port Washington, New York. Today's world does the USA need to be a member of NATO? Yeah, we need support against the bad guys. Irene Donald, Bedford, Mexico, I live in Baja, and I see the heightened presidents by Mexican Army. I'm not sure what it means. It means that finally, the Mexican government is trying to stop some of the migration.

I don't think they're stopping the drug traffic, but they're trying to stop the migration because they're afraid of Trump, Irene. Be safe down there. It isn't safe. Jason Voss, Katori, Japan. I have to wonder why President Zelensky did not choose to use an interpreter while speaking to President Trump. I thought it was an unwritten rule that foreign dignitaries do that. No. Zolensky speaks English fairly well.

He didn't even interpret it. In a moment, something you might. might not know. You know that one friend who somehow knows everything about money? Yeah, now imagine they live in your phone.

Saturday Night Live recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on NBC. The televised special featured both current stars and members of the original cast.

Not in attendance was the late John Belushi. 43 years ago today, the comedian was found dead inside a Hollywood hotel. Here is the story. Baluchy became a household name after starring on SNL and doing all kinds of pratfalls, getting massive amount of tension. Then he did Animal House. But it was SNL that really catapulted him. Hey, net exclaimed. Hey, n' exclaim.

Let's boil the wolverine. The wolverines. Next. Live from New York! Unfortunately, John Belushi's wild antics and high energy were fueled by cocaine and alcohol. On March 5, 1982, John's personal trainer found the actor dead inside that hotel room. He died from a drug overdose. police at first tried to cover up for the actor, labeling to cause the death a heart attack.

His friends claimed he choked on room service, but it was a combination of cocaine and heroin that killed him. John Belushi, just 33 years old. Notably absent from SNL's recent special was Belushi's friend and cohort Dan Aykroyd, who watched the event from his home in Canada. Ackroyd has never really explained his relationship with John Belushi in great to tell, and he did not explain his absence from the SNL special. And here's something else you might not know. John Belushi is not the only SNL alum who died young. Some believe there is a Saturday night live curse.

Since its debut in 1975, more than 15 cast members have suffered premature death. from drugs, cancer, even murder. The grim list includes Belushi, John Candy, Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, Norm McDonnell, Chris Farley, Andy Kaufman. Quite a crew, all dying young.
