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 Friday. September 5th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. RFK Jr. turns the tables. Alligator Alcatraz, still open, big tech dinner, and no tax on tips, recipients. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Congress is back from vacation. So there's a hearing with RFK Jr., head of Health and Human Services. In one noteworthy moment, the senator from Oregon, Wyden, said, I hope you tell the American people how many preventable child deaths are an acceptable sacrifice for enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense.
Starting point is 00:01:00 RFK Jr. responded, Senator, you've sat in that chair for 25 years while chronic disease and our children went up 76 percent and you said nothing. Today, for the first time in 20 years, we've learned that infant mortality increased in our country. And it isn't because I came in here. It's because of what happened in the Biden administration, which we're going to end. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that alligator Alcatraz can stay open. The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, said the media was giddy that somehow Alligator Alcatraz was shutting down and we told him it wasn't true. There have been illegal aliens continuing to be there and being removed and returned to their
Starting point is 00:01:37 home country. But they ran with the narrative because some leftist judge ruled implausibly that somehow Florida wasn't allowed to use our own property to help the federal government in this important mission. The reason it was maybe being shut down is because environmental groups and an Indian tribe argued that the project threatened sensitive wetlands and bypassed federal environmental impact studies. Trump had a big dinner last night with the tech titans.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook of Apple, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Open AI founder Sam Altman, along with the founders of Google, Oracle, the CEO of Blue Origin, Micron Technology, Tipco, Scale.A.I.

Elon will not be there, but someone from his team will be there in his stead. Part of the one big beautiful bill included, of course, no tax on tips.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Well, within 90 days the bill passing, the Treasury Department had to make a list of the jobs that will be included in this no tax on tips. Only jobs that have historically been tipped professions. So, you know, everyone just can't start getting paid in tips all of a sudden. The deduction is up to $25,000 a year. There's 68 jobs. I don't have time to list them all. But the list includes everyone who works in the food industry, bartenders, wait staff, etc.

Bring out your adventurous side. Mitsubishi Motors, drive your ambition. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. On this Friday, the Epstein's story, beyond tedious, hearsay, speculation, due process denial, and conspiracies galore, essentially a waste of time, unless vivid new evidence emerges and I do not believe it will. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and the world is a better place. His compatriot, Galane Maxwell, should serve out her full 20-year sentence. If the victims of these two need any help, society should provide
Starting point is 00:04:31 it. But this story has taken a sinister political turn as the anti-Trump cadres are desperate to tie the president to Epstein in a criminal way. That is the goal, get Trump. The president knows this and his contention that the situation is being used to fog his accomplishments in office, is true. However, the Trump opposition will never acknowledge anything positive from the administration. Epstein is just a convenience, and no amount of release paperwork in that case will ever be enough. So that's the truth of the media-driven hysteria over Epstein. The denizens of old Salem would love this. Guilty. Of what? Of being you. Tough world for Donald Trump. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at

Paul, just how the country would be if the Democratic Party didn't exist today. Just think how the country would be. It would be greater than ever. No. If there were no Democratic Party and it was just Republicans, the Republicans would run wild and unrestrained, they would be looking out for you. Too much power. Jim Ross, Frisco, Texas. With President Trump being sued for everything, why were no lawsuits brought against a Biden administration, for the southern invasion of their harmful action. Well, Texas sued them.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You got a lot of Texas action there. New Mexico is a blue state. Arizona is flux. California is a blue state. So you did have the Texas action. You didn't have the judges, you know, the cherry picking of the judges like you have now. Nick Nizelino, Millstone Township, New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:06:49 My question is, Democratic judges have pushed back on Trump for sending troops to Chicago, L.A., or elsewhere, as overstepping his authority at the beginning of fascism, was U.S. Grant unlawful in sending federal troops to the South to destroy the KKK. Ah, you read Confirning the Presidents. No. Grant was well within his constitutional rights because the Ku Klux Klan was a terrorist organization. See? That's the designation. I believe the drug. The drug gangs are terrorists. Joe Milligan, Gellion, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:07:26 President Trump says we have the most oil of anyone on the planet. So why doesn't Modi buy oil from us and not Russia? Because Russia probably made him a better deal. And the President of India doesn't really care whether Putin slaughters Ukrainians. That's the bottom line. He does not care, Modi. Boy, did he reveal himself, huh?

It is officially back-to-school time in America as millions of students are returning to classrooms across the USA.

Today, more than 50 million children in the USA attend a public school. Five million others, private schools. Two million are homeschooled. However, many countries around the world differ from us. In Japan, the school year starts in April. Children in the land of the rising sun get just five weeks of summer vacation. South Korea and China have the shortest annual breaks.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Kids there attend class for 11 months of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, folks enjoy vacation in December and January. Shockingly, there are some countries that have no public education at all. Somalia offers only Islamic instruction. Afghanistan bans all girls from schools. Yemen leaves schooling to families.
