Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, May 4th, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. Airport hit. Airport delays. Correction officers attacked. And a massive beach concert.

It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, a ballistic missile fired by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, struck the ground inside the perimeter of Israel's airport. This was yesterday. The missile struck a grove adjacent to an access road inside the airport's perimeter. Close enough. All the missile defense systems from Israel failed to intercept this missile. Israel has struck Houthi targets in Yemen in previous responses, but it's possible that Israel may target Iran, since it's Iran who arms and funds the Houthis. Speaking of airports here in America,

two commercial flights aborted their landing at Reagan Airport because an army helicopter entered the airspace. Air traffic controllers instructed a Delta flight and a Republic Airways flight to abort the landings. It was 2.30 p.m. on Thursday because of a helicopter's presence. The FAA has restricted non-essential helicopter traffic around the airport, which of course is just a couple of hours from the Capitol in the White House. After that January 29th, mid-air collision between the American Airlines flight and an Army Black Hawk helicopter killed 67 people. Not far away at Newark Airport, they've had massive delays lately. Delays averaging two hours. Plains landing in different cities. United Airlines, which is Newark's largest carrier, has cut nearly three dozen round-trip

flights a day at the hub. The CEO of United said that 20% of air traffic controllers have walked off the job this week. As of September of 2023, the FAA was 2,000 air traffic controllers short of their staffing goals. Duffy said that not a single air traffic controller was cut since Donald Trump has taken office. And the last air travel news, you need a real ID to fly, a domestic flight, starting Wednesday. Three corrections officers at a Virginia prison were stabbed by inmates in a premeditated attack. A total of five officers were injured in this attack. Five of the six perpetrators are confirmed MS-13 gang members from El Salvador,

who are in this country legally. Each of them have been convicted of first or second-degree murder and rape. The other, inmate, the sixth, involved in the attack, is a confirmed member of the Serenio-13 gang, and he's from America, but he's serving a sentence for second-degree murder. The Department of Corrections director said five of these six individuals should never have been in this country in the first place. Lady Gaga had a free concert in Rio de Janeiro's Coca-Cobana Beach. It's believed that 2.1 million people attended, which seems like a lot, but it got me thinking

what's the largest free concert of all time? Well, it was also on Coca-Cabana Beach. In 1994, 3.5 million people. Any guesses who it was? Rod Stewart. I'm Mike Slater. Bill O'Reilly with your message today. Next.

Also, Time now for the O'Reilly.com. Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the day. On this Monday, there is an important legal case going on. The Supreme Court is looking at it, but it is not being reported accurately to you. So it's my job to do that. This is the Garcia Department from Maryland to El Salvador story.

So you remember that ICE swept up a whole bunch of criminal aliens, and Mr. Garcia was in the sweep, put on a plane, sent to San Salvador, put in a prison there. You remember that happened. Mr. Garcia does not have a criminal record. So on paper, there needed to be some explanation about why he was deported. His wife is suing to get him back. The Supreme Court has issued a ruling saying the Trump administration should facilitate his return. However, that is misleading because there is a federal court case underway. The judge in

Maryland has now ordered depositions to begin, I think, today, all right, or tomorrow, about whether Garcia was illegally sent to El Salvador. The case centers around whether this man is associated with MS-13. That's what the Justice Department, ICE, is trying to prove. If they prove it, then he's absolutely deportable because President Trump signed the executive order saying MS-13 is a terror group. That's what's happening now.

There's no defiance of the court, none of that. And the press just absolutely lies about it. But now you know the truth. 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. Now let's go to the mail. Nate Bristow, Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina. Mr. Riley, thank you for the information you provide. If the heads of sanctuary cities and

states are not following federal law and telling their people to cooperate with federal authorities, couldn't they be charged with crime. You cannot be charged with a speech crime unless it's a hate crime. But if the governors or mayors or any official actively hinder the arrest of undocumented, then they can be charged, like the judge in Wisconsin and the other judge in New Mexico, both of whom the Mexico guy had illegal living in his house, and the judge spirited one out the back door so eyes couldn't get him. That's a crime, but just to say something is not protected.

Dwight and Kathy Moose, I don't know where you guys are. A Rapid City, South Dakota, Rapid City. Bill, surely you know that only twice since 1934, as a party holding the presidency, gained seats in the midterms. FDR was creating massive giveaway programs and George W. Bush, right after the 9-11, attack. So why are you harping that if President Trump doesn't get this tariff thing on control, he'll lose the midterms? Not harping, reporting. There's a big difference between harping and reporting. And the reason I'm doing it is to signal to you and everybody else that Donald Trump doesn't have a lot of time. It turns us around. Get these tariff deals

done. In a moment, something you might not know. If you're thirsting for no we aren't there yet, kids won't stop crying. We brought snacks, but they wanted other snacks. Stop pulling each other's hair and we made it 14 minutes with no screens level refreshment. We definitely have that. Swing by Circle K and get a puller pop for just 79 cents, only for inner circle members. When you're feeling the heat, Circle K makes your day. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know.

80 years ago this week, the Nazi regime was collapsing. Adolf Hitler's empire, which once ruled an entire continent, just 36 months earlier, was now reduced to a few blocks in Berlin. Here's the story behind the downfall of the Third Reich. The furor began as conquest of Europe in 1939. By 42, the Nazis controlled three million square miles of territory spanning from France to Russia, Sweden, to North Africa. All that changed in 1943 when the Germans were defeated by the Russians at Stalingrad.

One year later, the Allies landed in Normandy, France. Well, that was the beginning of the end. The march towards Berlin had begun. By May, 1945, the Nazi Empire had been reduced to three square blocks. A few days earlier, Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker. Outside, the German capital was completely obliterated. Ninety percent of all buildings destroyed. Civilians faced extreme food shortages, lack of water, no electricity, few medical supplies.

Meanwhile, Soviet soldiers entered Berlin. Snipers fired freely at women and children. Tanks blasted roads during the day, bombs were dropped by planes at night. Berlin's population, once five million, was reduced to 900,000. The Soviet army raped women at will. The defense of Berlin was left to senior citizens and teenagers. The gates surrounding the German High Command were guarded by children as just. young as 13 years old.

On May 7th, Nazi general Alfred Jodal signed an unconditional surrender at the Allied headquarters in France. The conflict in Europe was over. And here's something else you might not know. It would take Germany nearly a half century to recover from the catastrophe of World War II. After the surrender, the nation was divided into two states, East Germany. under the Soviet Union, West Germany, a democracy. But the German people were not unified until 1990

after the fall of the Soviet Empire. Back after this. Going on vacation, we're here for it. With kids who turn a back seat into a courtroom drama over whose tablet is louder, whose charger is faster, and why watching the same cartoon for the hundred time as a human right? Yep, we totally have vehicles to handle that.

Because whether it's a road trip or a business trip, where your flight's delayed, your phone's at 2%, and your dinner, whatever's open, yeah, here for that too. Enterprise, we're here for it. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly Update. I am Bill O'Reilly, no spin, just facts, and always looking out for you. Thank you.
