Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, July 17, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America on election fraud speech. Thanks a lot, Canada. No more public charges and a teleprompter's betrayal. It's all coming up. Then. Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the president's speech last night Dealt mainly with four election integrity issues. First, electronic ballot machines. Second, China getting voter information, 220 million Americans voter information. Third, a Michigan voter registration fraud. And fourth, over a quarter of a million non citizens on state voter rolls. The biggest headline seems to be not only the Chinese hacking voter information, but the deep state cover up of that intelligence. The president also said in his speech that NBC and ABC Fake News have both said they would not cover this speech because of the fact that they did not like the topic because they know how corrupt our system is and they don't want to reveal it. These Canadian wildfires have caused a ton of problems with the air quality in our Midwest and Northeast. The air quality index, it's on a scale from zero to 500. You want to be zero to 50, maybe you can get up to 100. New York City usually has an air quality index of 60. Well, Detroit's air quality index yesterday was 700. The scale only goes to 500 other cities across the country in the two and three hundreds. Canada has 858 active fires. A Canadian Senate report just in May said there's not a single authority responsible for wildfire preparedness response and recovery. In Canada, the Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits, food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers and other forms of welfare. The policy is known as a public charge. If someone is a public charge, then they're not allowed here on a green card. The U.S. citizenship and Immigration Services said under President Trump, we are restoring the basic principle that immigrants must be able to support themselves. We have a whole new version of insider trading, these prediction markets, people making bets on different things that are going to happen and then cashing in. But some people have some pretty inside information. For instance, President Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is accused of betting how many mentions the president would make of certain words in a speech. Of course he would know. He's looking at the speech. He made over a dozen bets over a three month period and made over a hundred thousand dollars. The president called his actions a disgrace. Thank you again, Bill, for having me on your show yesterday. You can watch that on Bill O'Reilly's YouTube page. Also YouTube.com politics by faith. Bill has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day. On this Friday, I'm thinking about high prices in America. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual inflation rate dropped to 3.5% in June. That's down about 0.7% from May. Those are fairly significant decreases and they're caused by the fluctuation in oil prices. That's tied, of course, to the ongoing war in Iran. What will happen next? Well, if I knew that, I'd be living on the Riviera. I don't know. We have an active conflict underway in the Middle East. There doesn't seem to be any retreat on the part of the mullahs. But. But every day there's a different scenario. Meanwhile, back home, millions of Americans are confused because there's no accurate reporting out of Tehran. Any pundit who tells you otherwise is full of bs. Unfortunately, I can't give my listeners, you guys, any real insight on Iran because there is not one journalist on the ground who's delivering accurate information. They'll be shot in the head. The question now is how will the war in Iran end? And as I said, nobody knows. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com billorilly.com name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Keith McNeil, East Jordan. Yeah, Michigan. Billy, keep mouthing Democrats catchphrase of affordability. I would like to remind you affordability was far worse under Biden. Well, you can remind anybody all day long. What difference does it make you think people going to the polls in this November are going to go, oh, it was worse under Biden. They're not. They're not. They're going to vote their circumstance at the moment. And a mouth. I do mouth. I have to cop today. Reynolds Dickinson, Atlanta, Michigan, bill of any international law states 12 miles of water from the country's coastline is controlled by that country. How can Iran think they have control of the Strait of Hormuz? Because they want to think that. And then Reynolds goes on to say, why doesn't the international community stop this piracy? What international community? Who? The un? NATO. You saw NATO. They wouldn't even let our planes land. There's no international community going to right wrongs. Okay, we go to Allison concierge, remember? And if you would like to become one will enhance your Life. Go to BillO Reilly.com very easy. Free book if you get it. Most of the people I know are opposed to the war in Iran because of the increase in gas prices. I don't think most Americans would even be thinking about it much if that weren't happening. I agree. People vote their wallets in a moment. Something you might not know. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 71 years ago today, Walt Disney opened its first theme park in Southern California. The 200 acre site remains one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Here is the story behind Disneyland. Oh. Wal launched his animation empire in 1928. For the next 20 years, the studio released the most popular films in America. Snow White, Cinderella, Dumbo. After the release of Peter Pan, Walt Disney began designing a theme park on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Rides would recreate scenes from his iconic movies. The gates to Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955. Walt Disney wanted the park to be affordable for everybody. Price of admission, $1. Individual attractions cost an additional 10 cents. Guests could buy all access passes for $2. Wald even offered a universal 50% discount for all children. Food was also cheap. Cheeseburgers, 50 cents. Hot dogs 25 cents. Soda, 10 cents. Coffee, 5 cents. Parking free. All in a family of four could spend a day at Disney for a total price of $15. Today, the average American can no longer afford to meet Mickey Mouse. A standard theme park ticket costs $104 a person. Parking 30 bucks a day. The typical price for a sandwich and soda, 30 bucks. Disneyland even sells a $100 panini. The average price for a family afford to spend one day at Disneyland, $800. That figure does not include hotel airfare or souvenirs. And here's something else you might not know. High prices and woke culture are forcing many Americans to ditch a trip to Disneyland and Disney World. Attendance is down 15% compared to 2019. When asked, potential visitors say one thing keeping them away is high prices. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
