Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, July 10, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Brazil, tariff agents fired, college payments back and Judge Jackson is rebuked. It's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day of first, President Donald Trump levied a 50% tariff against Brazil. Brazil produces more than a third of the world's coffee. Earlier this week, Trump sent letters to nearly every country that surrounds China giving them tariffs as high as 40% and also saying that we're on to you with a thing called trans shipping. So this is when China makes something, but then they ship it right over the border to Kazakhstan, put a made in Kazakhstan sticker on it so that they can avoid the China tariff and pay a lower tariff. Trump says, no, we see you do that. And that's not allowed. Trump looking also at our hemisphere. Trump yesterday met with the leaders of Gabon, Guinea, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal to discuss areas of cooperation. The president said we are working tirelessly to forge new economic opportunities involving both the US and many African nations. There's great economic potential in Africa like few other places in many ways. Six Secret Service agents have been suspended for their failures connected to last year's assassination attempt on then presidential candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. We're now three days away from the anniversary of President Trump getting shot in the head. A DHS report just right after the shooting so under the Biden administration said it was a series of law enforcement breakdowns that created an environment that left Trump vulnerable to a would be assassin. The Secret Service director at the time, Kimberly Cheadle, resigned 10 days after the shooting. It's taken this long to get six more people suspended. The Department of Education said that it would resume applying interest starting August 1st to federal student loans held by almost 8 million borrowers. This is a Biden era program, a repayment plan called save. It's an income based repayment plan and it allows borrowers to who pay 10% of their discretionary income towards their balance for 20 years. And if there's any other balance at the end of 20 years, it's all forgiven. Well, the courts found that that plan was not authorized by Congress and wasn't allowed anyone who is in the plan. Their payments have been on hold since last summer. And the Department of Education is encouraging people to move into other repayment plans. DOE plans to offer two new repayment plans next July. Judge Jackson was the lone dissent in a case regarding the the executive branch's ability to restructure the executive branch. Judge Jackson's dissent was so far off, even Justice Sotomayor had to put her in her place. Last week it was Judge Barrett had to set her straight. And now Jackson even lost. Sonia Sotomayor, I'm Mike Slater. From Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Message of the day on this Thursday, this Epstein file controversy is hurting the credibility of the Justice Department and by extension, the president himself. On March 17, I discussed the situation with Donald Trump in the White House and recommended that a summary of what justice had learned about the villain be made public. Both the president and I agree that all information cannot be put out because some innocent people had access to Epstein, and their lives could be badly damaged if proper context is lacking. And we all know the media doesn't care a wit about proper context. So there's danger for anyone whose name pops up connected to Epstein. No matter what happened. However, Americans should be told exactly what the government knows. You can redact names. Attorney General Bondi has an obligation to hold a press conference and answer questions directly. That's what honest government does. Evil should not be granted any protection. Innocence is entitled to full protection. Ms. Bondi is smart enough to know the difference. One more thing. President Biden's corrupt Justice Department had the Epstein information for years. Where are you? Former AG Merrick Garland. In fact, I'd like to see a Bondi Garland joint press conference. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoriley.com, billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now, let's go to the mail. Kevin Ryan, Scottsdale, Arizona. Trump administration has cut inflation in half, but I'm not seeing any cuts in my food prices. And you won't, unless you're smart about it, Kevin. So, number one, the Waffle House, I believe, cut their $3 egg supplement because eggs have come down so much. That's gone. All right? So you can eat at the Waffle House for less. Number two, Costco and these big trunk stores. That's where you should be buying your food. Number three, if you go to a restaurant and believe me, where I am right now has insane prices, I won't go. And it's not about money. I got plenty of money to spend in these places. Why waste it? I don't want to get ripped off. So you got to be proactive. When the American consumer becomes proactive, all right, and does the things that I suggest, all right, Prices will come down. Wayne. I thought it was de facto that an illegal immigrant could not be granted bail because by their very nature, there are flight risks. No. You're here, you get due process. That's the way it is. Norman. Concierge member. Thank you, Norman. So many of my acquaintances and family members buy into all the fake news propaganda. It's so frustrating to try to talk with them about it. This time I took your advice and had my pencil and paper ready. You get the facts, you write them down. You give the facts to the people who are in dreamland. But you know what? Here's the tragedy of it, Norman. No matter what you say to some people, they're not gonna believe it because they don't want to believe it. Jennifer Gebhart, Glencoe, New York. Hey, Bill, I noted that you stated you're a registered independent voter. I recently updated my party affiliation New York State. The only statewide political parties available are conservative, Democrat, Republican. There's no option to choose independent. Yes, there is. You get your voter application form, okay, and you put there's a box. I do not wish to register to any political party. Boom. You're an independent. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. On May 1, President Trump issued an executive order ending federal funding for NPR and pbs. While critics claim the move is blatant censorship, the White House believes both organizations promote progressive ideology. Here is the story. National Public Radio, or NPR, was established in 1970, broadcast non commercial content for education and civil discourse that includes presidential debates, congressional hearings, so on the Public Broadcasting Service PBS was created one year earlier to promote programs for children. Its first series, sesame Street. Under President Biden, both organizations had a combined annual budget of 535 million. That's more than $2 billion across four years. The key question is, does public broadcasting promote liberal ideology? In April 2024, NPR senior editor Yuri Berliner quit saying there is a left wing bias at NPR. Here is Mr. Berliner's take. It was notable right after in the 2016 election. You know, I do remember when Trump unexpectedly won, there was a lot of sadness, almost despair in the newsroom and sense of shock. I don't think NPR was alone among legacy media institutions, but I, you know, it just was very striking that we had been out of touch with the country and the mood. As for pbs, there is a song the outlet released to celebrate Pride Month. The tune called Love Makes a Family debuted on Sesame Street. Welcome to the love we found I got the best family around every day they make me feel so proud. My favorite uncle who does my hair My auntie in tz. So here's the truth. Both NPR and PBS promote the Democratic Party and liberal causes. So why should all taxpayers be funding that? The answer is simple. Let them compete on their own. Advertise just like everybody else. Get off the public dole. Back after this.

Listener Inquiry (08:44): Kevin Ryan from Scottsdale questions the discrepancy between government claims of reduced inflation and his personal experience with rising food costs.
O'Reilly's Response: "You won't see the benefits unless you're smart about it, Kevin. For instance, the Waffle House has cut their $3 egg supplement because egg prices have decreased. Similarly, shopping at bulk retailers like Costco can help lower your food expenses."
He emphasizes the importance of proactive consumer behavior to mitigate the impact of inflation on personal finances.

Leadership Changes: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle resigned ten days post-incident, and six agents have now been suspended for their roles.
