Hey, if you're here listening, you know you don't want spin, right? You know that Bill knows that Bill does not mess with the spin. You want it straight. So here's a straight recommendation. I'm Mike Baker, former CIA officer, and every day on the president's Daily Brief, I do for national security and geopolitics exactly what this show does for the news. No agenda, no hysteria, no opinion, just the facts. We tell you what's happening, you decide how to think about it. It's named for the brief that lands on the president's desk and it runs every single day, 20 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the afternoon. Smart, fast, honest.

Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, July 21, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Arsonist at federal building, another prime minister, Lebanon to the White House and El Mayo sentenced. It's all coming up. And Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, a what they're calling anti government extremist set off a, quote, incendiary device outside of a Manhattan federal building that houses an immigration court. He's on video dousing the steps with gasoline and lighting it on fire. Andrew Arabaka is 43 years old. On the steps that he lit on fire with gasoline, there was also a canister full of fireworks. He also pulled out an Airsoft rifle and fired five to seven pellets in the air. The FBI assistant director in charge said he was an anti American, anti government extremist. Two government employees and one civilian were injured. The civilian was an immigrant who was there for an immigration hearing. England has a new prime minister, Andy Burnham. He is the seventh prime minister in the last 10 years, fifth in the last four years. The people of England don't elect a prime minister. They elect a party to the government. And the governing party can change their leader whenever they want. So no national election is needed. He's a former mayor of Manchester. He's been in government forever. He said we have not been good enough and we need to be better. We will be. We will make this moment a circuit breaker for Britain, bringing forward the biggest change in 40 years, a new political model and a new economic model. In the past, political power was centralized, economic power privatized. Oh, the president of Lebanon visited the White House, his first face to face meeting with the president. We have tried to treat the Lebanon, Israel situation as separate from Iran, but it's been tricky to do that in Iran. News of the three Americans who were killed this weekend, the president said Iran will pay. Every time they kill Americans, the president said they will pay for that killing many times over. The president attended the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base yesterday. Drug kingpin L. Mayo was sentenced to life in prison for drug trafficking charges. He and El Chapo founded the Sinaloa cartel, oversaw the shipment of millions of kilograms of lethal drugs, cocaine, fentanyl, meth. He paid millions of dollars in bribes to Mexican officials. In a federal court in Brooklyn, a US District judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole. The U.S. attorney said that this guy spent nearly four decades poisoning American communities to make billions of dollars in profit and ordering the murder of anyone who stood in his way. Today, that chapter closes for good. I'm Mike Slater. From the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Tuesday, I'm thinking about election integrity. President Trump believes voting in America has been compromised and is attempting to persuade we the people that his assertion is true. During a speech last Thursday, the president declassified 25 documents to back up his allegations. Nevertheless, much of the Democratic leadership call the president's actions baseless without really any data at all backing up their dissent. This is all happening because President Trump wants Congress to pass a Save America act whereby proof of citizenship would be shown in order to vote. The Democrats will not support that legislation, no matter what the data is. So that's where the nation finds itself. The opposing party does not believe anything the president says because they want to destroy him. That's where we are, a precarious place to be. China and Russia well understand the advantage they now have been given. Technology can disrupt an honest vote count, especially in tight races. That's not baseless. It is happening. But our country is so divided, little if anything will be done. You'll see, I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, Bill, at billorilly.com billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine, let's go to the mail and concierge member hey, Bill, when was the last time the economy was booming and people seem relatively happy with it? That would be during the term of Bill Clinton. WAYNE CONCIERGE Criminal left does not believe in freedom of speech. They only want you to hear the speech they agree with and nothing else. There's a lot of that, but it's not just on the left. Not just on the left, but it's more common there. LUANN cheney, why are socialists running for office when they want to ignore our our country's constitution? If you're a socialist or a communist or even a fascist, a Nazi, you are protected by our Constitution. Nothing can happen to you unless you commit a crime, even if you're elected like Bernie Sanders. That's the way it works. That's freedom. JOHN I remember election night when Trump was way ahead, wake up in the morning discovering Biden had won. It was obvious there was some call of mischief going on. I also remember all the times you refuted this on your program. What say you now? The only thing I refuted was the evidence was not presented to the Justice Department that would overturn the electoral votes in any state. That remains a fact. BRUCE I'm not able to physically stand in line for three hours to vote. If they take away mail in voting, I wouldn't be able to vote any longer. That's not going to happen. You're going to the medical exceptions. Come on. There's always medical exceptions in a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 27 years ago today, Navy divers recovered the bodies of John F. Kennedy, Jr. And two others after their small plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Massachusetts. Here is the tragic story of JFK Jr. S final flight. The young Kennedy was born Nov. 25, 1960, just a few weeks after his father was elected president. On his third birthday, John Jr. Attended the funeral of his assassinated dad. John remained in the spotlight for the remainder of his life. Famous for his good looks and adventurous spirit, he was frequently seen skiing, surfing or piloting his own aircraft. On the evening of July 16, 1999, John, his wife Caroline and her sister took off from an airport in New Jersey. The total journey to Martha's Vineyard was less than 200 miles. The plane never arrived on July 21, divers recovered the bodies. The wreckage was discovered 100ft underwater, just 8 miles from the coast. A private memorial was held in New York City. Attendees included President Bill Clinton, 10 sitting US senators and boxer Muhammad Ali. In his final report, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded the crash was caused by an inexperienced pilot who became disoriented in the dark and simply lost control of the plane. And here's something else you might not know. JFK Jr. S death renewed a national interest surrounding the so called Kennedy Curse. Since World War II, at least 24 members of the Kennedy family have suffered premature death. The grim tally includes two assassinations, five air crashes, five drug overdoses and four car wrecks. The most recent victim was Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter. President Kennedy died last December from leukemia. She was 35 years old. Back in a moment.
