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 Friday. April 11, 2025. Here's this happening today in America.

The Save Act, Budget Framework, Helicopter Crash, and Hollywood in China. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with

your message of the day. But first, the House passed the Save Act, the Safeguard American

Voter Eligibility Act. 220 votes in favor, 208 against. Four Democrats joined the unified Republicans.

So now it's off to the Senate. It will require 60 votes to pass the Senate,

so they'll need some Democrats. The bill requires states to obtain in-person documentary

proof of citizenship before registering a person to vote for a federal election. If you're

already registered, you don't have to do anything until the next time you register

to vote. The measure would also require states to remove non-citizens from existing voting roles.

Chuck Schumer said the Republican Save Act reads more like a how-to guide for voter suppression.

It goes against the very foundations of our democracy. Mark my words, this will not pass the Senate.

Chip Roy in the House who wrote the bill said in order to preserve this republic,

we must uphold what it means to be able to vote in a U.S. election.

The House also passed the budget framework, 216 to 214.

They needed Freedom Caucus members in the House to go with this.

This is a framework, so now it moves on to the committees to achieve the cost cutting that was laid out in the framework.

I spoke with a Freedom Caucus member today who said the Senate framework they passed says they only need to cut a small amount of money,

but senators say, oh, no, no, we're going to cut a lot more, well above what the framework says.

But we'll see if they actually do that, if they codify the work of Doge.

Speaker Johnson said we're committed to finding at least $1.5 trillion in savings for the

American people while also preserving our essential programs.
