Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Can DSA win again? Criminals deported, Blanche moving forward and a good guy with a gun saves the day. That's all coming up. Then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, today is election day in Michigan. The most notable race is will the DSA aligned candidate Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al Said beat out wacky four time Congresswoman Haley Stevens. This is for the Democratic primary for Senate. This is a good metaphor for the Democratic Party divide right now, but we'll see tonight if it's even much of a divide at all. Said is endorsed by Elon Omar and AOC and Bernie Sanders. Stevens is endorsed by the current governor Whitmer and Chuck Schumer, the old guard. The Republican frontrunner is Mike Rogers. Most Republican consultants say they'd rather go up against Al Said. But I think we should be careful playing with fire. If Al Said wins today, it's a sign that the DSA isn't just winning in New York City and other deep blue cities, but even in purple states. Homeland Security announced over the weekend that ICE deported several child predators from all across the country. Alabama, Nebraska, Los Angeles. These illegals are from Burma, Ecuador, Honduras, an illegal alien from Guatemala convicted a sexual assault in Nebraska. Illegal alien from Mexico convicted second degree rape in Delaware, a sex offender From Laos in St. Louis, an illegal from the Dominican Republic convicted of kidnapping in Newark. List goes on and on. Illegals from Belize, Guyana, Peru, Costa Rica. I said the men and women of ICE work every single day to remove dangerous criminals like these from our communities and make America Safe again. ICE has also been making between 20 and 40 arrests at US airports every day. But the head of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen is getting a little heat as he this weekend proudly said that we are naturalizing 900,000 foreigners over the last 12 months. That happens to be more people than we've deported. Republican lame ducks on their way out. John Cornyn and Tillis from Texas and North Carolina voted to advance Todd Blanch for attorney general. This after he agreed to stop the Anti Weaponization Fund. The Judicial Committee was supposed to advance him last week, but they held out until now. A murderer killed three people at an in and out in Twin Falls, Idaho. He was taken out by a good guy with a gun, 35 year old Jordan Salinas. He was headed out on a horseback riding date with his girlfriend when they stopped by the in and out for lunch. He, in a quote, automatic and mechanical response, that's what he said, drew his pistol from his holster when he heard shots fired. He, he has been well trained since 2021 when there was a deadly shooting at a mall in Boise. That's when he decided to train, often for a moment just like this, where he saved many lives. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next

time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Tuesday. I'm thinking about Anthony Fauci and I don't like it very much. Now. Last week, the doctor appeared before the Homeland Security Committee headed by Senator Rand Paul, who believes Fauci is a flat out criminal. The main controversy is that the US government gave at least $600,000 to the Wuhan China lab where Covid was constructed. Somehow the virus escaped in a weaponized form. Dr. Fauci denies all of this. He also misled the public on masks, social distancing, school closures, the vaccine, on and on. And we know that because he wrote about it in his private diary, which the federal courts ordered had to be made public. Sadly, Dr. Fauci will never be held accountable for his actions. On his last day in office, President Biden or someone yielding his auto pen issued a full pardon for the COVID czar. The document clears Fauci of any wrongdoing between 2014 and 25. Despite overwhelming evidence, the left continues to adore the doctor. Why? Because people believe what they want to believe. For progressives, that means Anthony Fauci is a hero because they supported him. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorily.com, billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Johnny in Chicago. I am afraid and angry, says Johnny. Lots of talk about communism. Aren't the things they want unconstitutional? No, they have freedom to say whatever they want. I don't hear anyone talking about that. We talked about it many times, John. Okay. So I can only do what I can do. If you become a conspiracy member, you get transcript every show. John Pitner, Bill, I wanted to share my thoughts on the reason do it live with Dr. Oz found it outstanding. Basically his insights to how many government programs are updated with technology. This information is critical. It's one of my favorites. It's posted on. We'll do it live. Just go to billorilly.com, pop Dr. Oz. There he is. You'll enjoy it. James, I thought your interview with Dr. Oz would be boring, but I have to admit I was stunned on how interesting it was. Good. Marianne St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm withholding her last name because I'm gonna kind of scold Marianne here. Hey, Bill, a while back I asked you if Trump's going to mess with Medicare and Medicaid, is he going to make cuts? You looked into the camera and said, who told you that he's not going to make cuts in those programs? Well, can you hear me now? Loud and clear. Marianne doesn't make any cuts. Maybe you're talking about Minnesota, where you live, getting cut off because they will not investigate fraud. Same thing with California. Maybe that's what you're confusing. But there's no change to Medicaid and Medicare. That would have to come from Congress. President can't do that. In a moment, something you might not know.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal, so there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com switch upfront payment

The O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 64 years ago today, the most popular actress in America was found dead in Los Angeles. Her sudden demise spawned numerous conspiracy theories that involve organized crime, a famous baseball player, even the President of the United States. Here is the story of Marilyn Monroe. Born Norma Jean in 1926, her early childhood was chaotic. Both maternal grandparents and her mother were committed to mental institutions. She lived with abusive foster parents, then married her neighbor at the age of 16. The two quickly divorced. Norma was discovered by executives at 20th Century Fox. She dyed her hair, changed her name to Marilyn Monroe. The actors rose to national fame in the 1950s, marrying baseball great Joe DiMaggio. They split nine months later. In 1962, rumors began circulating about an affair between Ms. Monroe and President John F. Kennedy. She famously serenaded JFK at his birthday party in Madison Square Garden. Three months later, Marilyn would be found dead of a drug overdose inside her LA mansion. She was just 36 years old. Several conspiracy theories immediately surrounded the case. Some believe JFK and his brother Bobby ordered her murder to cover up the affair. Others blame Joe DiMaggio. Some thought unhappy studio executives hired the Mafia for the dastardly deed. And here's something else you might not know. What likely killed Marilyn Monroe was mental illness. The movie stars struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar. An autopsy revealed the actors had consumed a lethal amount of prescription sedatives right before she died. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
