Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, February 6, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. The SAVE Act, FBI arrest Trump Rx and the All American halftime show. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Senate Republican leaders met in the Oval Office with the president to talk about the SAVE Act. After their meeting, the president sent a message. America's elections are rigged, stolen and a laughing stock all over the world. We are either going to fix them or we won't have a country any longer. I am asking all Republicans to fight for the following Save America Act Number one, all voters must show voter id. Number two, all voters must show proof of United States citizenship to register for voting. Number three, no mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. CNN admitted that 83% of voters supported this, including 71% of Democrats. And Chuck Schumer was asked about this. He called it Jim Crow 2.0. The FBI arrested someone who made an imposter ransom demand for Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy. She was abducted from her Arizona home Sunday morning. No suspect or person of interest has been identified. Someone did demand a bitcoin payment to a local Tucson media outlet two days later. This guy also demanded a payment in bitcoin. He the second person was arrested, but he's not related to the actual abduction. The president said he talked to Savannah the other day and promised the full efforts of the FBI to get her mom home. The president unveiled Trump RX Last Night with Dr. Oz and also the head of the National Design Studio who was the co founder of Airbnb. The White House said that Trump Rx is a state of the art website for American consumers to purchase low cost prescription drugs. It's a place where any consumer can go and pay the lowest cash price without insurance. For instance, Ozempic, usually $1,000 a month down to 1 99. WeGovy from $1,350 a month down to 199 as well, among many other prescription drugs. Bad Bunny is performing the halftime show this Sunday, friendly reminder that Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA is offering a counter halftime show called the All American Halftime show featuring Kid Rock with Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce and Gabby Barrett.

Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the Day on this Friday. I'm on my way to the super bowl out on the west coast. And it is capitalism versus I don't know what. Now, in a capitalistic system, there are no cost controls, price controls. You can charge what you want. And the super bowl is, of course, a unique situation. So listen to this. About a billion dollars is going to be generated by this football game. All told, everywhere. The most expensive ticket on Vivid seats right now, $30,000. Whoa. Cheapest ticket, about 4,000. Now, if you get to the stadium, Levi's Stadium, you want a beer, it's 12 bucks. Hot dog, 7 bucks. You get the idea. $40 for a hat. On and on. But it's the hotels that are crazy in the San Francisco, Santa Clara area, you might expect to pay $500 a night in regular times. Ready? $2,300 a night to stay in downtown San Francisco. I might stay with some of the homeless. How about parking? Drive to the stadium, 250 bucks. Oh, and if you're watching on TV, every commercial, 30 seconds, $8 million. So it is capitalism on fire. Back in a moment. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, Bill, at billoriley.com billorilly.com name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Larry Burgo, Sagal, Idaho, though, your analysis of why the Democratic Party has done a completely reversal on immigration policies, spot on. Their hatred of Donald Trump requires they oppose him on everything. Question for me is why do they hate him so, Larry, we've been over this and over it and over it. I'll do it one more time. Okay? Donald Trump despises the far left. He doesn't like anything about it. The far left controls the Democratic Party. The regular Democrats that aren't loons, they don't like Trump's style, the bombastic style. So you couple the radicals with the regulars and Trump's got zero support and a lot of loathing inside the Democratic Party. Anthony Limight, Bradenton, Florida Bill, I wanted to offer an opinion about your YouTube analysis comparing Minnesota and January 6th. My belief is the state slowly started to defy federal law by testing the waters in the legalization of marijuana situation. Once the federal government did not intervene with that, then the race was on. It's pretty good, Anthony, I tell you. So even to this day, trafficking in marijuana is against federal law, but not in many states. Now, Trump has okayed that, so we don't have that tension, but it probably did begin there. It's a pretty good analysis. In a moment. Something you might not know now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 127 years ago today, the US Senate ratified a peace treaty between the United States and Spain. The resolution formally ended one of the most pointless conflicts in human history. Here is the story behind the Spanish American War. The affair began with Cuba's struggle for independence. Spain ruled the island and used violent measures to halt the rebellion. Those were widely publicized in the United States press. To protect citizens living there, Washington deployed three battleships to Cuba. In February 1898, a massive explosion sank the USS Maine in Havana Harbor. 260Americans on board were killed. A naval court ruled the ship was accidentally blown up by an underwater mine. But most people didn't buy that. They blame the Spaniards. The public in America demanded a declaration of War. On April 20, 1898, President McKinley signed a joint congressional resolution authorizing the use of military force to help Cuba gain independence. Spain severed all diplomatic relations. Both sides declared war. The ten week conflict was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. Spain was completely dominated by the US Navy. In total, Madrid lost 10,000 sailors compared to just 900Americans. The war officially ended on February 6, 1899. Spain renounced all claims to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto rico to the USA, transferred sovereignty of the Philippines to America for $20 million. And here's something else you might not know. During the Spanish American War, the US Military ran low on soldiers. To supplement the forces, the army raised a tough group of volunteers, cowboys, farmers, even a few outlaws. The group earned the nickname the Rough Riders. They were led into battle by a 40 year old glory hunter from Manhattan. His name, Theodore Roosevelt. Back in a moment.
