Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, May 28th, 2025. You're listening to the O'Reilly Update. Here's what's happening today in America. Trump warns Putin. Democrats try to win back male voters. One in five adults condone violence. And drivers rank the worst traffic this summer. That's all coming up. And I'll be back with the message of the day about the new Maha report that was just released. the other day. But first, President Trump telling Vladimir Putin to scale back attacks against Ukraine. He wrote on truth social quote, what Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia. And I mean really bad. He's playing with fire. The Kremlin issued the following response regarding

Trump's words about Putin playing with fire and really bad things happening to Russia. I only know of one really bad thing. World War III. I hope Trump understands this. When President Trump spoke with Putin last week by phone, the Russian leader committed to drafting and sending what he described as a memorandum of peace in the coming days laying out Russian requirements for a ceasefire with Ukraine. It's been more than a week since that phone call, and we have not yet received that document from Russia. So now Trump's considering moving ahead with new sanctions on Moscow.

According to CNN, options were drawn up in the past several weeks to apply new measures punishing Moscow. But so far, Trump has not approved. them. The president did say on Sunday he would absolutely consider new sanctions in the aftermath of a sustained missile and drone bombardment that left many dead. Trump said on Sunday he's killing a lot of people. I don't know what's wrong with him. What the hell happened to him? The Democratic Party unveiled its new outreach program to male voters. The plan includes more outreach to podcasts, video games, and sporting events like the NFL. The price tag for this study,

$20 million. That's great. Just burn that money. Trump made big inroads. With the mail vote during the 2024 election cycle, a Fox News survey found that men from 18 to 44 supported Trump at 53% compared to former Vice President Kamala Harris at 45%. A survey from University of California finds that 20% of the public believes violence against the government can be justified. Even worse, 7% say they would kill another person to advance their political agenda. A report from Fox News ranks the worst traffic heading into the summer months. cities are judged by time in the car compared to distance traveled.

The top of the list. L.A., Chicago, New York, Houston, the worst spot for motorists, Washington, D.C. If you want to avoid the gridlock, go to Idaho. People in Boise experience just 15 minutes of traffic each year. Coming up in something you might not know, we'll talk about Trump's executive orders regarding nuclear power.

Mike Snyder for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for the O'Reilly update message of the day. RFK Jr. has unveiled the official 74-page Maha report, make America healthy again. And it's not good. Well, the report's sound, and it's wonderful that we're finally addressing this. But the state of America's health, it's very bad. A lot of people don't care about this, but would you rather live in a healthy, fit country, or a sick, unhealthy? healthy country. Obviously, a fit, healthy one, and we're not. So we have to get to work. You know, JFK, in 1960, wrote an article in Sports Illustrated called The Soft American. It's worth to read. He ties Western civilization, Western values and fitness in America,

all together. Physical soundness, he said, has become a part of Western tradition, sound mind and a sound body. And we, I would argue, don't have either of those right now. And now, 65 years later, his nephew wrote this report, this Maha report for America. American kids are ranked 47 out of 50 nations in their cardio health. There was a shuttle run test. The short of it is, 15-year-old American boys can't keep a 10-mile pace for half a mile. That's very slow. 47th out of 50.

78% of kids get less than 8 hours of sleep. 50% of kids are chronically stressed. 42% of high school students experience persistent feelings of 6%. sadness or hopelessness, 42%, 73% of 16 to 24-year-olds report feeling lonely. One in five kids take at least one prescription medication. Antidepressants were written for 2 million, 10 to 19-year-olds. Over 40% of kids have at least one chronic health condition. One in five kids over the age of six are obese.

In the 1970s, it was one in 20. Now it's one in five. Again, there's 74 pages of statistics like this, but you get the idea. It's very bad. The report tells the story, the true story, that tobacco companies bought a lot of food companies back in the 80s. R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris, when the government finally realized that cigarettes were bad for people's house, the cigarette companies used all their cash to buy food companies.

Philip Morris acquired Kraft in 1988 for $13 billion. It was the largest non-oil merger in the United States at the time. Philip Morris also acquired General Foods in 1985 and Nabisco Holdings in 2000. R.J. Reynolds bought Del Monte and Hawaiian Punch. Hawaiian Punch at the time was a cocktail mixer, and they decided to market it as a juice for kids. This was the first nationwide juice box, Hawaiian Punch, tobacco company did that. It's 1983.

the scientists who worked to make cigarettes addictive now worked in the food industry to make food addictive. Then big food started lobbying for these processed foods. All the lobbyists they had for the tobacco industry were now for the ultra-processed food industry. And they started to market all this ultra-processed food to kids. The tobacco companies have since sold the food companies, but they forever changed the game. This is such important stuff for every individual and our entire country. As JFK ended that Sports Illustrated essay back in 1960, he said, we do not want our children to become a generation of spectators. Rather, we want each of them to be a participant in the vigorous life. And as his nephew now says, the head of Health and Human Services, a healthy person

has a thousand dreams. A sick person only has one. And 60% of our population has only one dream. that they get better. I like forward to America getting healthy again. Something you might not know. Coming up next. This MailChimp Ferrific jingle is brought to you by MailChimp.

Mike Slater filling in for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for something you might not know. How many nuclear power plants do we have in the United States of America? Not enough is the first answer, but more specifically, we have 54 nuclear power plants in 28 of our states. California is getting rid of some on purpose. They're tearing them down for no reason. France has 18 nuclear power plants, but they only have 68 million people. So we have five times the population and much higher energy demands. So we should have at least 90 nuclear power plants, at least twice as many as we have now. Why don't we? Well, back during the Cold War, the rhetoric. against nuclear war, which is a good thing to be against, but the people conflated nuclear war

with nuclear energy. Bad branding. We've been suffering without affordable, reliable energy, nuclear energy, because people were too ignorant to know the difference between nuclear weapons and nuclear power and bad branding from the nuclear power industry. And we have to do a lot better now. Also, people were concerned about what to do with all the nuclear waste. Well, all the nuclear waste that we've produced in America since 1950 could fit in a football field 30 feet deep. So if we double that, double our nuclear power, and for a thousand years, we could put all the nuclear waste in a mountain somewhere and never know and never care. We need more nuclear energy, more affordable energy.

This is going to be the fuel for a new American prosperity explosion. It all starts with energy. It's high time. we get more nuclear reactors in America, and on that point, Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders the other day moving forward and setting goal of building more nuclear reactors. First, major reforms at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission since 1978, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has authorized only five new reactors, and of those only two have been built. This executive order also has the mission to upgrade existing nuclear power plants by five

gigawatts, which is enough for 5 million homes, and build 10 new large reactors by 2030. The left has been holding nuclear energy and this nation back for far too long, because it's been run by environmentalists who think that humans are a parasite on the planet. But those people are out of power now, excuse the pun, and now it's time we use the energy that God has blessed us with for the purpose of human flourishing.
