Apparently, that's how I roll.

So bundle up and come along for the bumpy ride. Stream a new episode of North of North Tuesdays on CBC Gem. Bill O'Reilly here. Listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Canada to the European Union, serial killer no longer on the loose.

Trump helps hunters and another animal discovered. It's all coming up. And Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the European Union has asked Canada to become an associate member. The far-left Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, enthusiastically embraced this proposal while addressing the European Union's parliament in France yesterday, calling for Canada's global ties to, quote, take on a new dimension. Carney was visiting the EU headquarters in France. A day after the European Union president, Ursula, floated this idea to become an associate member.

To be clear, prior to her remarks about associate membership, that never existed. It's not a thing. and the EU has not clarified what associate status means exactly, but our president, Donald Trump called the idea laughable and warned that the United States would interpret that move as a hostile act. Police in Philadelphia believe they found a serial killer. Eugene Horst, 44 years old, was arrested when a U.S. park ranger approached his vehicle in downtown Philadelphia for parking too close to a fire hydrant. There was a woman in his car who said the man was hurting her.

She had an ID. It was her photograph with the name of a woman who was reported missing in in 2023. There were drugs and guns in the car and fake FBI credentials. Police later searched his home. They found one million digital images and video of five different deceased women and two currently missing women lying unconscious all around his house. Police found five urns with human ashes inside. Police say there's no longer any threat to the public. The president signed an executive order called reinvigorating America's hunting heritage. This executive order calls for the Secretary of Interior and Commerce and Ag and a few others to expand hunting on federal land, to improve access to land-locked public parcels, to reform Forest Service River Access Lotteries

by prioritizing U.S. citizens and to streamline approval of seasonal migratory bird hunting, also to allow the use of traditional lead ammo and tackle. The president said on day one, He ended Joe Biden's war on gun owners. One of my favorite facts is how many animals are discovered every year. What do you think? How many animals, how many animal species do we discover every year? It's about 10,000. Most of those are insects.

We don't often find a new cat. But we did the other day. The Tilkayo tiger cat, smaller than a house cat, lives in the jungles of Bolivia. The first cat they found in over 100 years. Scientists discover about 65 mammals every year, but this one made the news because it's cute. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. I'm thinking about artificial intelligence. When I first heard about AI, I thought it was a steak sauce. But this technology will soon affect

every single person on the planet. You may have heard President Trump down playing the risks of AI. Many folks believe that. But based upon our research, there is some danger in the wind. The problem is nobody knows how that danger will surface. Are we going to fight robots in our driveways? There are a handful of companies in America that traffic in this technology, Open AI, Google, Anthropic, SpaceX, and a few others. They are making big money. These kinds of platforms generate billions, but they can be used for both good and evil. That is the problem.

It is in clear what the dangers are that stemmed. from a I. So we, the United States, need a game plan. And it has to come from Congress endorsed by the president. And it should be fast-tracked. 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, all right, we got Christopher. Dear Bill, I'm with Texas Senator Ted Cruz, that the $5,000 giveaway should only be for working Americans. It could simply come in the form of a tax write-off. Okay.

Look, Donald Trump says a lot of things. I don't think this $5,000 is going to appear, not with a $40 trillion. debt, but I could be wrong, particularly if the Republicans hold Congress, but there will be things attached to it. It's not going to just be everybody gets $5,000. Jonathan, concierge, remember that means Jonathan gets our protection. Somebody messes with Jonathan, we get involved. And Jonathan gives a transcript of everything I say, and a free-signed book. Look, okay, Jonathan will soon be immersed in confronting America what has to change. So Jonathan says, it wouldn't matter that if the Trump administration released the tariff data,

Dems in the media would say the numbers were false, called Trump a liar. Look, those people can vote against Trump anyway. That's not who you're playing to here. You're playing to independence, which have turned against the president, and disgruntled Republicans. That can be persuaded. I mean, the media and the Democrats aren't ever going to vote for Trump under any circumstances. David, who's a concierge member. Bill, thanks so much for having John Sherman on the broadcast.

Like you, I'm more of a lot of when it comes to rapidly emerging technology. So Mr. Sherman's call a stop AI until we have more guidance is my concern as well. Okay, that's going to be a very fierce debate coming up. In a moment, something you might not know.

Fifty-two years ago, President Gerald Ford issued a conditional pardon to so-called Drafts, Dodgers, who we've refused to fight in Vietnam. Though praised by many, his decision enraged millions of Americans. Here is the story. Beginning in 1964, more than two million Americans were drafted into military service. Names were selected by a lottery linked to their date of birth. Many avoided conscription by enrolling in college. Others claimed religious or medical exemptions.

200,000 people were charged with evading the draft, including Boxer Mohammed Ali, his conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court. Some Dodgers were arrested, sentenced to up to 18 months in prison. Others find $5,000. 50,000 Americans fled to Canada or Mexico. After a decade of bloodshed, the Vietnam War ended in January 1973. On September 16, 74, President Ford issued a proclamation, granting a conditional pardon to some draft Dodgers, providing they work in a public service job for two years.

Those who fled the country, however, were not eligible for the amnesty. Ford himself, a veteran of World War II, hoped the pardon would heal the divided country, said the president, quote, this reconciliation. The nation calls for an act of mercy to bind the nation's wounds and to heal the scars of divisiveness. Veterans groups, however, condemn Ford's proclamation, saying the act condoned desertion. After the pardon, the president's approval rating fell from 50 to 37%. Ford lost the Democrat Jimmy Carter two years later, who issued an unconditional pardon for all draft. on his first day in office.

And here's something else you might not know. The most popular destination for Americans who refused to fight in Vietnam was Toronto, Canada. Despite the pardoned 40,000 U.S. citizens remain there after the war. That community still exists to this day. Back in a moment.
