Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update morning edition.

On this Friday, you may know that I predicted that former Congressman Matt Gates would not be the new Attorney General. I did this

because I understand how Washington works, and it's not a fair place. But the senators needed to confirm Mr. Gates

to that cabinet position. Well understood that he has a checkered past. We have to give the man due

process if we're fair Americans, but it's not only that.

He sabotaged Speaker McCarthy, he's a bit arrogant in person, and he doesn't have many friends in the Senate.

Also, the left-wing press in America hates Matt Gates. So you add it up, and it was one very difficult situation for the new Trump administration.

On Thursday, Matt Gates said he's hanging it up.

He doesn't want to be Attorney General any longer because it's becoming a burden for the Trump

administration. That was a noble thing to do, because it's true. It would have been a brutal

battle in the Senate, and if President Trump decided to go around that body for a recess appointment,

that would have hurt him.

So Matt Gates is out.

I predicted it well before it happened because, again, I'm not a genius.

I just understand how our political system works.

Many times, it's very unfair.

Back in a moment. Hey, Bill O'Reilly here.
