Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, January 19, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Send in the troops. ISIS retaliation attack on the Second Amendment in Virginia and the national championships tonight. It's all coming up and Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active duty soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota. This would be a part of the Insurrection act, first issued by Thomas Jefferson in 1807. The soldiers that are told to get ready are assigned to two infantry battalions with the Army's 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska, which specializes in cold weather operations. Today, the high in Minneapolis is 2. The high is 2. On Friday, Minneapolis has a high of minus 7. The mayor of Minneapolis said, I never thought in a million years that we would be invaded by our own federal government. The Insurrection act is used when local and state law enforcement is unable to keep the peace. However, in this case, the local Democrats don't want peace. So Trump may bring in the troops. May I remember last month, two US Soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in Syria by ISIS in an ambush attack. Well, this is our third retaliatory strike back on isis. And in this attack, our military killed an al Qaeda affiliated leader with ties to that ISIS ambush. The commander of centcom, Admiral Brad Cooper, said the death of a terrorist operative linked to the deaths of those three Americans demonstrates our resolve in pursuing terrorists who attack our forces. There's no safe place for those who conduct, plot or inspire attacks on American citizens and our warfighters. We will find you. Overall, this strike targeted more than 100 ISIS infrastructure and weapons system site targets. Virginia Democrats who were elected last year are now sworn in and one of the first orders of business for them is to go right after the Second Amendment. Many bills proposed. One would introduce an 11% excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition. Another would broaden the state's red flag laws, mandatory 5 day waiting period storage requirements, mandating that a firearm and ammunitions are locked into container compartment or cabinet that's inaccessible to any minor or prohibited person. $500 tax on suppressor sales and quote, unquote, assault weapons ban. Democrats in Virginia zeroing in on second amendment laws just like Colorado did successfully back in 2013. National championships game tonight, Miami versus Indiana in Miami, 7:30 eastern kickoff. And in other football news, the president said he's going to sign an executive order protecting the Army Navy game from any football competition. He said the second Saturday in December is an exclusive four hour broadcast. No other game can violate this time slot. Please let the service notice to all television network stations and outlets. God bless America. God bless our great Army Navy game. I'm Mike Slater From Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
