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 Monday, April 7th, 2025. Here's this happening today in America.

Coming to the table. Latest job numbers, more tornadoes, and championships tonight. It's all coming

out. The bill's going to be here with your message of the day.

But first, latest on the tariffs, according to the Agriculture Secretary,

she told Jake Tapper that already 50 countries have called President Trump.

She said we already have 50 countries that have come to the table over the past few days

and over the past few weeks that are willing and desperate to talk to us. We are the economic

engine of the world, and it's finally time that someone, President Trump, stood up for America.

Reports that Vietnam and Taiwan have proposed zero percent tariffs in response to Trump's tariffs

on them. Bloomberg reporting that India has no plans to retaliate against Trump's

tariffs with more of their own, although they have insane tariffs against us already. They had a

200% tariff on American whiskey. Brooke Rollins, the secretary, said, we do already live under a

tariff regime in this country, but it's the tariff regime of China, of Mexico, of Brazil,

of Australia. Countries like Mexico that won't take our corn or Australia that won't take our beef.

The media thrown out the R word recession, which is hilarious.

Because a couple months ago when there was an actual textbook definition of a recession,

two quarters of negative GDP growth under Biden, they redefined the word to make it all go

away.

Now three days into these tariffs, and they're already declaring it a recession.

When our Treasury Secretary was asked if this will lead to a recession, he said, I don't think

it will.
