Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, February 23, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Attack thwarted, cartel leader killed, Tariff increased. And Team USA for gold's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the Secret Service shot a man and killed him after he tried to unlawfully enter Mar A Lago. The suspect is Austin Tucker Martin. He's A white male, 21, from North Carolina. He was reported missing after leaving his home a few days ago. He was walking on Mar A Lago property with a shotgun and gas canister. The president was hosting a dinner in Washington, D.C. at the time. Law enforcement released a photo of the shotgun the man was carrying. During this break in, Caroline Levitt said in the middle of the night while most Americans were asleep, the the United States Secret Service acted quickly and decisively to neutralize a crazy person in Mexico. Mexican forces killed their most wanted cartel boss. His name is El Mencho. He's the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, widely regarded as the country's most violent of all the cartel leaders. The Trump administration has been pressuring Mexico to remove this cartel leader. Mexican forces led an operation on Sunday to capture him in in his town about 20,000 people in the western coastal state of Jalisco. This is where the cartel was founded and based. At least seven cartel members were killed during this operation. This operation then set off an outbreak of violence across Mexico in at least six states. A lot of burning cars and leaving them in the middle of the street. Cartel guys like to do that. The US Government has warned its citizens to shelter in place until further notice. In five Mexican states. The Supreme Court ruled against the president's tariffs. These are the ones that he instituted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. It was a 6 to 3 ruling against the president. But the president in response said based on a thorough, detailed and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written and extraordinarily anti American decision on tariffs. After many months of contemplation by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I as President United States will be effective immediately raising the 10% worldwide tariff on countries to the fully allowed and legally tested 15% level. The President says he has the authority to do this under other tariff legislation. Team America, one of the greatest hockey games of all time. 24 year old Jack Hughes, just a couple minutes after getting his teeth knocked out, literally scored the game winning goal for Team USA over Canada 2 to 1 in overtime. This is the third gold medal for Team USA men's hockey on the 46th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. After the game, Jack Hughes said, this is all about our country right now. I love the usa. I'm so proud to be an American. Today. The final medal count, Norway with 41. We got 33, Italy with 30 overall. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
