Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless build? It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending, zero tears. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment

Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on this Tuesday. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Hallman Jenkins says that Americans need a place where they can get the truth. Well, yeah, but where might that be? Not by listening to the political parties. No way. They are true seekers. Spin and self advancement all day, every day. Newspapers? No, many are going out of business because they're boring as well as deceitful. Tough combo TV news. Come on. They have found physical magic by giving audiences exactly what they want to hear. True or not. I took note of liberal Tom Hanks mocking Ms. Whatever. Thanks for some straight shooting, Tom. Do you think social media delivers the truth? It does not. The game plan there is slash and burn. The Internet assassins understand it's cash for clicks and gutter sniping delivers the clicks. Mr. Jenkins held up journalist Katie Couric as a truth teller. But when I tried to book her for the no spin news, talk about the CBS chaos, she ran and hid somewhere in mid Manhattan. Note for Hallman, in order to report the truth, you actually have to stand up and state it. The media collapse has badly damaged the usa, no question. And that is the truth. Back in a moment.

Hey, if you're here listening, you know you don't want spin, right? You know that Bill knows that Bill does not mess with the spin. You want it straight. So here's a straight recommendation. I'm Mike Baker, former CIA officer, and every day on the President's Daily Brief, I do for national security and geopolitics exactly what this show does for the news. No agenda, no hysteria, no opinion. No, just the facts. We tell you what's happening, you decide how to think about it. It's named for the brief that lands on the President's desk and it runs every single day. 20 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the afternoon. Smart, fast, honest. Follow the President's daily brief on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen.

Summary:
In this edition, O'Reilly forcefully questions the reliability of all major sources of news and truth in American society. He lambasts political parties, traditional media, and social media alike for prioritizing their own interests or audience preferences over factual reporting. Through anecdotes, personal experience, and direct address, O’Reilly asserts that the systemic failures of American media have significantly harmed the country—a claim that encapsulates the episode’s core message of skepticism toward traditional information gatekeepers.
