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 Monday, March 16th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America.

American and Israeli ships.

So it's open.

at Old Dominion University.

Muhammad was previously convicted in 2016 of giving material support to ISIS.

He was sentenced to 11 years only served seven.
