Here's this happening today in America. Texts revealed FBI's Arctic Frost. Cheers for another leftist murderer. And Robert Redford passes away. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, police revealed text message exchanges between the murderer of Charlie Kirk and his male lover, who was transitioning to a woman. The murderer said, drop what you're doing, look under my keyboard. There was a note he left there. His lover said, you're joking, right?

I'm still okay, my love. Shouldn't be long until I can come home. But I got to grab my rifle still. To be honest, I'd hope to keep this secret till I died of old age. I'm sorry to involve you. You weren't the one who did it, right? I am, I am. I'm sorry.

His mom told police had her son to become more politically active on the left. more pro-gay and trans rights oriented. He said in a text, why did I do it? I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I'm able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. He did not go get his rifle unseen. ABC News, one of their reporters said,

quote, it was very touching in a way. These text messages, very touching, that I think many of us didn't expect. A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself. Can you believe this ABC news reporter? He said in a later report, he talked about the heartbreaking duality that we're seeing very tragically played out here.

Yes, the duality of Charlie Kirk getting murdered and the poor trans lover of the murderer. Amazing. The Senate Judiciary Committee released documents revealing that the Biden FBI targeted 92 different Republican organizations, including Turning Point USA. It was called Arctic Frost targeting these conservative groups. You may have seen a video of Charlie Kirk on election night when he found out that Trump won the election that he was getting emotional. He later said the reason why he got emotional was because his organization,

Turning Point, was under investigation by the Biden administration for obviously political reasons. But now he knew that Turning Point could continue with the good work they were doing. In similar news, a judge dismissed two murder charges related to acts of terrorism for Luigi Mangione. This is the accused killer of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The judge said that evidence presented to the grand jury was insufficient to support terrorism charges. This accused murderers' supporters outside the courthouse cheered.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Wednesday, seven days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there remains a national sadness. The cliche life goes on applies, but not totally.

There is change in the air. Extremists on the left are now under more pressure than I've seen in years. Some like Stephen Colbert and Matthew Dowd have lost their jobs. Others are approaching unemployment. Radical left pockets still exist in Hollywood, Manhattan, and Boston. But across the country, that movement is damaged. The essential reason that progressive tactics are failing is chaos. In Chicago, San Francisco, even Charlotte, North Carolina,

soft-on-crime policies have directly led to social. disorder. It is right before our eyes. Added to that is the progressive tactics of demonizing and blackballing opposing points of view. Hitler, racist, homophobe, you've heard it all. It never ends. And then after the murder of Charlie Kirk, you had some, not a majority, but some far-left people, celebrating. That is abhorrent. Most Americans are not ideological. They are good people who want a decent society. The murder of Charlie Kirk is spotlighting the progressive madness. And now many more people are paying attention. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

The left cannot be marginalized fast enough. Hate and discontent are paraded as patriotic. Some of that, that's for sure. Matt Crowell, Irving, Texas.

I disagree about Howard Kurt saying Charlie Kirk was not a saint, and thus downplaying the assassination. I believe Mr. Kurtz was stating the obvious that when tragic events happened, the public has tendency to remember the affected persons through rose-tinted glasses. Okay, but why bother with the statement? Why bother? Particularly, what, four days after the man was shot the death and you're saying he wasn't a saint? Why? Nobody's a saint. Howard Curtis thinks that's a perceptive comment. Why did he say it? It was not necessary that was my point that you got to think about this stuff before you

start to blather about it not necessary Richard Miller Gallipolis Ohio got to see the Confronting Evil Special on News Nation I know he's bumped a couple of times because of coverage of Charlie Kirk the special was fascinating definitely have to buy the book and I'm gonna tell you we show you a clip of the special in about two minutes So thank you for watching it, Richard.

I knew a little about Putin, but not the whole story. I also knew about his experience running Stasi, but I didn't know that he was in charge. Yeah, that Putin chapter 20 pages. And that's why I mentioned President Trump when I gave him the book. I said, check out the Putin chapter. This will explain a lot of why this guy is doing what. he's doing. In a moment, something you might not know. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Last week, more evil enveloped the world. Vladimir Putin launched drones into Poland as the U.S. marked the 24th anniversary of 9-11. 11. In addition, conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot dead in Utah.

Sadly, Mr. Kirk's name joins a long list of notable civilians killed in the USA. There are a few. In 1965, Malcolm X killed while speaking to a crowd in Harlem. Three years later, fellow civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. murdered in Memphis. 1969, pregnant actress Sharon Tate stabbed the death by members of the Manson family in L.A. 1980, former Beatle John Lennon shot and killed outside his apartment in New York City. 1984, musician Marvin Gaye killed by his own father while the two were arguing. 1996, rapper Tupac Shakir gunned down in Las Vegas. Six months later, his nemesis Biggie Smalls killed in a drive-by shooting.

either case has been solved. 1997, Italian fashion designer Johnny Versace murdered outside his Miami mansion by a serial killer. 2005, John James, CEO of United Healthcare, assassinated or walking down a street in Midtown Manhattan. His killer, Luigi Mangione, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges, even though it's on videotape. And then last week, Charlie Kirk shot in the neck and killed in Utah. He was just 31 years old.

And here's something else you might not know. Despite the large number of shootings and relatively high homicide rate, the USA remains relatively safe. According to the World Population Review, the USA ranks 67 when listing countries with the most criminality. Top of the grim list, Myanmar, Colombia, South America, Mexico, Nigeria, and South Africa. The safest place in the world, Liechtenstein, in Europe. But believe me, evil is rising in America. And that is why I wrote my new book, Confronting Evil. Back after this.
