Breaking News with Ryan Reynolds (00:39 - 03:34)

Ryan Reynolds takes the helm to discuss several significant developments shaping the global and domestic landscape:

US-Europe Trade Deal:

- Trade Benefits: All EU countries will enjoy zero tariffs on American goods.
- Reactions: The Financial Times commented, “there's no hiding the fact that the EU is rolled over by the Trump juggernaut,” highlighting the strategic acumen of Ambassador Trump in negotiating terms favorable to the US.
Walmart Stabbing Incident:
- Event Details: A violent incident occurred at a Walmart in Michigan where a male assailant stabbed multiple individuals.
- Heroic Intervention: Two Marines present responded swiftly—one pursued the attacker on foot, while the other deployed a firearm. Bill O'Reilly notes, “the first Marine who was not armed with a gun said, 'the other Marine told me that he just went to a shooting range and he forgot to take his pistol off his hip.'"
Geoengineering Experiment Shutdown:
- Project Overview: Researchers from the University of Washington attempted a geoengineering experiment off the coast of California, aiming to create a 3,900 square mile cloud to dim the sun's rays and mitigate global warming effects.
- Outcome: The city of Alameda intervened, abruptly terminating the experiment after just 20 minutes due to lack of prior notification, as reported by Politico.
Democratic Party Polls at Record Lows:
- Survey Results: According to the Wall Street Journal, a new survey indicates that 63% of voters now hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest since 1990—with only 8% viewing Democrats very favorably.
- Implications: Reynolds suggests that the recently announced trade deal by Trump is unlikely to bolster Democratic standings, further compounding their challenges.

Bill O'Reilly’s Message of the Day (05:10 - 07:41)

Bill O'Reilly shifts focus to critique the late-night television landscape, specifically targeting Stephen Colbert and CBS:

Criticism of Stephen Colbert:
- Opinion: “I don't feel sorry for Stephen Colbert. I don't even like him. I know them all.”
- Analysis: O'Reilly alleges that Colbert has fostered a “culture at CBS to censor other points of view,” leading to a predominantly liberal discourse that marginalizes conservative perspectives.
- Impact on Colbert’s Career: He asserts, “That is what led to Colbert's failure, if you want to use that word,” suggesting that the lack of diverse viewpoints contributed to Colbert's departure from CBS.
Listener Engagement:
- Robert’s Insight: “Your analysis about Obama is spot on... Democrats, they're not going to turn on Barack Obama and most Republicans don't like him.”
- Blake Shazarin’s Reference: Drawing from Richard Nixon's final speech, “others will hate you, but if you hate them back, you'll be destroyed,” Greg comments, aligning it with the corporate left-wing media's antagonism towards Trump.
- Tom’s Election Forecast: Discusses the New York City mayoral race, expressing skepticism about Mandami's lead and the potential shift of voters if other candidates drop out.

Historical Spotlight: The Outbreak of World War I (08:42 - 11:16)

In a segment titled "Something You Might Not Know," Bill O'Reilly delves into the origins of World War I:

Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: The heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire was killed in Bosnia in 1914, igniting a series of declarations of war across Europe.
Escalation of Conflict: Alliances triggered a domino effect, with major powers like Russia, France, Germany, and England entering the fray, leading to unprecedented casualties and destruction.
US Involvement: Initially neutral, the United States entered the war after the sinking of the Lusitania, contributing to the eventual defeat of the Central Powers.
Treaty of Versailles: The 1919 treaty formally ended the war but imposed harsh penalties on Germany, setting the stage for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the onset of World War II.

O'Reilly emphasizes the catastrophic human cost, stating, “10 million people dead, 21 million wounded, an entire continent left in ruins,” highlighting the profound impact of the conflict on global history.

Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, July 28, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Europe steamrolled shooter, stop stabber, next level geoengineering and lowest polls ever. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, President Donald Trump and the commissioner of the European Union announced last night that European and America reached a deal that would impose a 15% tariff on most things coming from Europe. Also, Europe will purchase $750 billion worth of energy from America and invest 600 billion more than they already have in America. And all European countries, all EU countries will be open to trade of American goods with zero tariffs. The Financial Times wrote, quote, there's no hiding the fact that the EU is rolled over by the Trump juggernaut. Said one Ambassador Trump knew and worked out exactly where our pain threshold is. The European Union also agreed to purchase our military equipment. Amazing. Saturday night at a Walmart in Michigan, a male started stabbing people, four in serious condition, seven in fair condition with about a knife with a three and a half inch blade. Well, there happened to be in that Walmart a Marine who started chasing the stabber on foot when another man who was also a Marine pulled a gun on him. The first Marine who was not armed with a gun said, quote, the other Marine told me that he just went to a shooting range and he forgot to take his pistol off his hip. That's what it all came down to. According to Politico, a team of researchers was trying to test a machine for creating clouds off the coast of California. But they weren't just trying to create clouds. They were actually studying spraying some solution in the sky that would dim the sun's rays. The experiment led by University of Washington was supposed to last for months but it only lasted 20 minutes before the city of Alameda shut it down because no one told them about it beforehand. The plan was to create a 3900 square mile cloud which would be visible from space, but then also to somehow dim the sun's rays, all to combat the negative effects of global warming. Latest polls of the Democratic Party, lowest point in over 30 years according to the Wall Street Journal. New survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party. That's the highest share since 1990. Only 8% of Americans view the Democrats very favorably. And that trade deal that Trump in Europe just announced, it's not going to do the Democrats any favors. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith, the great Bill O'Reilly. Yes, your message of the day next bundle.
