Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, February 20, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America, timeline given, State of the Union Tuesday, aliens out of the bag and a great Olympics update. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the president warned Tehran that they have a maximum of 15 days to reach a deal with the United States or bad things will happen. On his way to Georgia, the president said, we're either going to get a deal or it's going to be unfortunate for them. The president did not say if the intention of this strike is to damage their nuclear program or to topple the regime completely. But Iran is just coming off another round of protests inside their country, which resulted in tens of thousands of protesters killed. Even Iran admits that over 3,000 people were killed, some human rights groups suggesting that number is closer to 30,000. The President will give his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Several Democrat congresspeople have said they will not attend. Very brave. More details next week on the speech, of course, but the best the Democrats could put together for their rebuttal is the new Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger. She said, we're at a defining moment in our nation's history. Virginians and Americans across the country are contending with rising costs, chaos in their communities and a real fear of what each day might bring. The new governor just a couple weeks in office. Among the tax increases she's proposed landscaping tax, tax on storage facilities, gym memberships, dog walking, dog grooming, vehicle repairs, home repairs, dry cleaning, and attacks on electric leaf blowers. This is all after running on making life more affordable. Here's the timeline of this story. Barack Obama said on a podcast last week about aliens, like outer space aliens. He said, they're real, but I haven't seen them. He later clarified, I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really? Well, Trump was asked about this on Air Force One. He said, I don't know if they're real or not, but I can tell you he gave out classified information. But Trump later wrote on Truth social media, based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the secretary of war to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life and any and all information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters. God bless America. God bless America, indeed. And a great day for Team usa. Alyssa Liu won the gold medal in women's figure skating, first American woman to win the gold since 2002. How can that be? Our speed skater champion, Jordan Stoltz. He won the silver to go with his two previous golds, this time in the 1500. And he has one more chance to get gold on Saturday. And of course, Team USA women's hockey. This whole tournament, 33 goals for only two against, wrapping up with a 2 to 1 win against Canada in overtime for the Gold.
