It's been in captivity since October 7th, 2023. He was transferred by way of the Red Cross to the IDF. He's 21 years old. He called his mom as soon as he was in the IDF convoy. There's pictures of his mom. Can't imagine how she's feeling, crying on the phone with her son. And Steve Whitcough, standing right

by her, he is the special envoy to the Middle East. Mom said to her son, you are strong, you are protected, you are home. The opening argument of the Sean Combs P. Diddy trial has begun. He's 55 years old now, major rap artist mogul from the 90s and 2000s, accused of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy. He's accused of being the ringleader of an alleged enterprise that abused, threatened, and coerced women into prolonged drug-fueled evenings with male prostitutes, which he called freakoffs, and then threatened them into silence.

The prime minister of England, the prime minister of England, in a surprise announcement, promised a significant cut in migration arrivals to the United Kingdom. He said Britain will finally take back control of our borders.

He said, without strict rules, we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. He said, yes, some immigration is good, but when people come into our country, they should also commit to integration to learn our language, and our system should actively distinguish between those that do and those that do not. The lame streams make it a big deal of Cutter, giving the federal government. government, a 747 jumbo jet. The plane will serve as Air Force One after it's brought up to military standards.

On this Tuesday, one of the reasons we have about a 90% retention rate on Bill O'Reilly.com premium membership is because alert Americans understand the difficulty in assessing the truth

about the Trump administration. While it is true that millions of Americans do not seek what is really happening about Mr. Trump, they are happy to either love or loathe him. it's imperative to those living smart lives to actually know what's going on in the White House. And I do. Here's some backup. After his inauguration, the president set out to feverishly impose his agenda. There are two tracks on this.

The first is obliterating failed Biden policies like the open border and constraining regulations on energy. The Trump administration knocked those down in record time. The second pathway is the personal stuff, punishing those who Trump believes corrupted the justice system, as well as redesigning how the economy will function. That's a tariff trade situation. Here, the going has been tougher as the Trump opposition has used to courts. Now, the other day I was answering questions from a friend who does not support Donald Trump.

Rather than try to convince him that change his mind, I simply said, if the president is successful, the country will be dramatically stronger going forward. Then I ran down a list. More employment opportunities, higher pay, peace abroad, far less waste of tax dollars, no ideology on college campuses or much less. Tough to argue with that, and he didn't. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know. 44 years ago today, Pope John Paul, the second, was nearly assassinated in the center of Vatican City. The shooting forever changed the pontiff security, both in Rome and abroad, here is the story. Born Carol Wotilla in 1920, the Cardinal was selected in 1978 as a first Polish-born Pope. Fluent in eight languages, he was known as an avid traveler, a skier who had little fear of mingling with the public. On May 13, 1981, John Paul was greeting parishioners in St. Peter Square. Suddenly, a 23-year-old Turkish national named Mamet Ali Akra fired four rounds hitting the Pope in the abdomen.

The gunman's weapon was knocked out of his hand by bystanders. He was detained and then imprisoned. The Pope was rushed by ambulance to a Roman hospital where he underwent more than five hours of surgery. As for the gunman, his plot to kill the Catholic leader began three years earlier. terrorists was arrested in 1979 for ties to a Turkish network known as the Gray Wolves. Well, after his arrest in Vatican City, a handwritten note was found in his pocket, quote, I am killing the Pope as a protest against the imperialism of the Soviet Union and the United States and against the genocide that is being carried out in El Salvador and Afghanistan.

Dan, unquote. Clearly, the man was deranged. And here's something else you might not know. Pope John Paul II immediately forgave the gunman who almost murdered him. He met with the guy numerous times in prison.
