Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you, Bill. It's Thursday, April 2nd, 2026. Here's this happening today in America.

We have liftoff, regime change in Iran, oral arguments over, and ICE funding soon.

It's not today, it's not tomorrow, but it's coming. And he said this will go down in history
