Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, October 21st, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. Guard back on, 480,000 detained. Airport shooting prevented and AWS back up. It's all coming up. Then Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the Trump administration deployed the Oregon National Guard to Portland. a lower court said the president can't do that, but a panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just said the president can do that. The Oregon Attorney General said of the Ninth Circuit judges, they have chosen to not hold the president accountable. The 200 Oregon National Guard members are there to protect federal property outside of a Portland ICE facility. The lower

district judge said that the conditions in Portland were, quote, not significantly violent or disruptive enough to justify a federal takeover of the National Guard and that the president's claims about the city were, quote, simply untethered to the facts. Oddly, worth noting the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which used to be this laughing stock they were so far on the left all the time, now 13 of the 29 judges were appointed by Republican presidents. So it's a pretty centrist circuit court, actually. On the flip side, a Chicago judge said that ICE officers can be arrested in Cook County courthouses if they arrest any illegal alien without a warrant. The judge's order, the point of it, is to prevent what are called collateral

arrests, where ICE may be going for someone specifically, but then they find another illegal alien there as well, and they just grab them to. The judge did this because he said courthouses must be places where witnesses and suspects feel safe. That being said, the Trump administration announced that they have arrested 480,000 illegal aliens. According to Christy Noem, 70% of those individuals have criminal charges against them. or have been convicted of those criminal charges. She said, we are not going to let these individuals terrorize our streets anymore. We're not going to let them make victims out of families that live in this country.

At this press conference, she highlighted a couple males, one from Cuba who's been convicted of homicide. He was ordered deported in 2008. She's got him the other day. He's been here this whole time. Another illegal for Mexico convicted of incest with a minor, he was ordered to be deported in 2019. Just finally now, caught by ice. A man threatened to shoot up the Atlanta airport, but he was. was arrested right when he entered the terminal. The man's family alerted police when he told

him he was going to do it. He had 27 rounds of ammunition in the truck just outside the airport. He is a felon and he's been arrested with making terroristic threats and criminal attempt to commit aggravated assaults. Amazon's web services broke down yesterday causing widespread internet outages all day long. It affected websites like Venmo, Outlook, Zoom, Snapchat, Lyft, Alexa, ring cameras among many others, took them all day, but they announced everything is back up and running.

Guests each week are fascinating personalities who are grabbing headlines, making waves or changing our lives for the better. Have a seat with Chris Hansen, available. wherever you get your podcasts. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Tuesday, as predicted here,

the far-left cadres have stepped up their anti-Trump activities after the hostage release in Gaza. That is, driving the progressives crazy because any success by the Trump administration makes critics of the president look foolish. President Biden tried but failed in the Middle East, Ukraine, Afghanistan, China. Few, if any, foreign policy positives came out of the Biden-Harris administration. I'm not a soothsayer, but it's almost impossible to believe a President Harris could have gotten

the Hamas hostages released or blunted Iran's nuclear ambitions. The No King's protests over the weekend didn't amount too much, but the left, did not embrace violence, so let's applaud that. Nothing wrong with peaceful dissent. President Trump has three more years to achieve historical greatness, which he really wants to do, and as critics, cannot really affect what happens unless the Democrats win the midterms next year. So once again, the voters have the power to decide whether it's Trump or the progressive movement they want to lead the country. I can't predict what will happen.

I can tell you many things are going to unfold over the next 12 months. 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. Bruce Tilecki, Broadview Heights, Ohio. Thursday, great program on News Nation.

Actually, it was Wednesday, but Bruce, I don't care when you watched it. Thank you for watching it. Country needs to see more of the three Americans, and they will, hopefully. Tim Davis, Crossville, Tennessee. Do you know why Stephen A. walked off the stage? I got the impression he was upset about the air traffic controller was struggling to feed his family. Yeah, he was upset about that.

But the real reason he walked off the stage was he had three giant cups of coffee right before he went on. That's God's honest truth. So, you got a lot of mileage out of that. Bill Peterson, Akron, Ohio, great show. Is Senator Federman taller than you? He's a big guy. I think he's two inches tall. I'm 6'4.

I think he's 6'6. Well over 300 pounds. It's an enormous guy. Deborah Rutan, Nazareth, Pennsylvania, really enjoyed three Americans show at the Kennedy Center, your YouTube commentary on Charlie Kirk, and your confronting evil book. Well, I appreciate you consuming all of those things, Deborah. You're involved with so many events. What is your favorite?

Whatever I'm doing at the moment, you know, you just have to be locked in on what you're doing. We have a very good Veterans Day special coming up on News Nation, November 11th. Boy, that's going to be good. I'll remind you. Shelly, excellent show. Enjoyed all of it. She's talking about the News Nation show. I'll be sending a letter, though, asking to please explain to us

why the progressives don't want immigration of dangerous criminals in force because they want a one-world approach. The progressive movement doesn't want borders. They want everybody going anywhere? It's freedom, whatever. That's what they want. In a moment, something you might not know. I'm Piers Morgan, the host of the Piers Morgan Uncensored Podcast.

You can listen to Piers Morgan Unsensored on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you get your podcasts. Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Last week, Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor pleaded not guilty to 18 counts of mishandling classified material. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison $7 million

in fines. Here's the story of John Bolton. Born November, 1948 in Baltimore, Bolton served as an advisor to Ronald Reagan, then Bush the elder. He was selected by Bush the Younger to serve as a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. In March 2018, President Trump selected John Bolton as his national security advisor. quickly, their relationship deteriorated. The two split on policy decisions regarding North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. Bolton then left the Trump administration in 2019, but the feud continued. He routinely appeared on CNN and other outlets, describing the president as dangerous,

uninformed, mentally unwell, and unfit for office. Look, I don't think Trump is fit to be president. I've said that for a long time. It's very bad news for the United States and all of its friends around the world that we're going through this now. We're going to emerge with a lot of damage done to our relationships.

In response, President Trump called his former advisor names. I'm not a fan of John Bolman. I thought it was a sleazebag. actually and he's uh suffers major trump derangement syndrome but so do a lot of people and they're not being affected by anything we do john bolton's next court appearance is set for november 21st according to legal experts the former advisor's defense will cost him more than five million dollars he's hired thousand dollar an hour attorney abbey lowell Nobody knows how this is going to turn out, but it's certainly not a good look for John Bolton.
